Chapter 118: Ruthless
This year's rain seems to be particularly much, especially since June, almost every few days there is a heavy rain, the water level of the Xinjiang River has skyrocketed, has crossed the wharf outside the south city gate, overflowed to the edge of the city gate, this can be sad Liu Qingyuan, because there is constantly news of the village disaster sent to the county government, and the new prefect has not yet arrived, he is now the nominal supreme governor of Guangxin Mansion.
On the 25th of June, it was dark and windy, lightning and thunder roared, and the sky seemed to have been punctured through a big hole, and the torrential rain fell all night, and the thunder exploded one after another, which frightened the whole city.
The next day, the rain stopped, and the Xinjiang River flooded into the city gate, and the low-lying places in the south of the city even waded through the water over the knees, and the Xinjiang Academy on the edge of the Xinjiang River became an isolated island.
On this day, a creepy rumor quietly spread in Jiangxi, last night someone saw two dragons fighting in the sky between the clouds, a black dragon and a white dragon, and finally the black dragon was defeated, and the white dragon disappeared immediately, and the thunder that everyone heard last night was the roar of the two dragons.
This morning, Xu Jin got up early in the morning as usual, the leakage under the eaves was still intermittent, and the few vegetables that Xie Xiaowan planted in the courtyard were all staggered by the storm last night, and the peppers were also blown off by the strong wind.
Xie Xiaowan stood in front of the window and was worried, even Shangrao County was flooded, and Yugan County's mother's side was probably even worse. Xie Xiaowan's mother's house is on the edge of Poyang Lake, less than 100 miles away from Nanchang.
Xu Jinxing went over and hugged Xie Xiaowan's slender waist from behind, kissed her lightly on the earlobe, and said with concern: "What are you thinking?" β
Xie Xiaowan's earlobes were the most sensitive, and even her neck suddenly turned red, and she leaned softly into Xianggong's arms.
"Madame, everything is ready!" At this time, Yahuan Xiaoyue happened to lift the curtain and walked in, and when she saw this, she immediately retreated with a red face.
Xie Xiaowan shyly left Xu Jin's embrace, tidied up Xu Jin's clothes again, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, let's go!" β
Today is June 25, and in the next few days, the Fei family will move back to Leadshan County, yesterday Xu Jin has made an appointment with the Fei family brothers, and today he will take Xiaowan over the house to play.
Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan walked out of the room, Er Niu and Xiao Yue were already waiting outside, Er Niu was carrying a basket of fresh fruits, and Yahuan Xiaoyue was carrying a food box, all of which were snacks that Xie Xiaowan made last night.
Xu Jin took Xie Xiaowan's hand directly out of the courtyard, for Xu Jin's bold intimate behavior, Yahuan Xiaoyue was shocked from the beginning, and now it is not strange to see it.
It is said that Xiaoyue is a girl ring trained by Xingwang Mansion, and her appearance is also outstanding, so her heart is quite high, but she was transferred to Xie Xiaowan by the prince Zhu Houxi as a wedding girl, and she felt aggrieved and frustrated at first, but now she feels very lucky.
Xie Xiaowan is kind-hearted and good-tempered, and Xu Jin, the male host, is also very easy-going, so he is very comfortable in the Xu family, unlike the rules of the palace, he is careful every day, and waits for his master on thin ice.
The key Xu Jin is still a young and handsome talent, under normal circumstances, the fate of the marrying girl is to have sex with Yahuan, the so-called through the room, that is, when the young lady is inconvenient, for example, when the young lady is pregnant and inconvenient to have sex, instead of the young lady to serve the master. Therefore, as long as the luck of the marrying girl is not too bad and the young lady she serves is not too mean, she can get the title of a concubine in the end.
Xu Jin is young and handsome, and he picked up the head of the county examination and the government examination at a young age, and his future future must be limitless, so Yahuan Yue'er is quite satisfied with the current situation, and there is still a faint expectation.
Xu Jin and the others came to the Fei Mansion, and the porter warmly welcomed them in without notice, and was brought to the living room by a special family member to serve tea.
Not long after they sat down, the Fei brothers and the three younger sisters came out together, and after greeting each other, Xie Xiaowan was dragged by Fei Xiaoyu and others to play in the backyard.
In this process, Fei Ruyi only said hello to Xu Jin at the beginning, and his expression was faint from beginning to end, and he didn't look at Xu Jin directly, I don't know whether he was angry or deliberately avoided.
Xu Jin was disappointed, but secretly relieved. Although it is normal to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, Xu Jin is after all from modern times, and his life values are different from those of the ancients.
Of course, it is impossible for Xu Jin not to be moved at all by a beautiful girl like Fei Ruyi, so now that Fei Ruyi is cold to him, Xu Jin's heart is uncomfortable.
As a certain female writer wrote very profoundly: Every man has a cheap tendon on his body.
Xu Jin chatted with the Fei brothers for a while, and Fei Hong's elder casually came to invite Xu Jin to the study.
The Fei brothers couldn't help but smile bitterly, and their father's attention and attention to Xu Jin, a protΓ©gΓ©, made the two brothers a little tasteful.
Xu Jin went to the study and handed over the few articles he had done recently to Fei Hong for comments, and the latter nodded with satisfaction after reading them.
It is said that Xu Jin's level of scripture and righteousness has steadily improved, and the eight articles have become more and more proficient, and the continuous improvement of the ranking of each monthly exam is the best proof.
Fei Hong smiled and said: "Ziqian, with your current level of writing, it is inevitable to pass the academy examination, the key depends on your on-the-spot performance, and don't make low-level mistakes like Minxian, defacing the volume will be invalidated." β
Since Fei Hong, the authority, recognized that his level must pass the college test, Xu Jin was relieved, nodded and said: "The student can save it, thank Master Fei for mentioning it." β
It may be that he will move back to Leadshan County in a few days, and after checking Xu Jin's homework, Fei Hong chatted with Xu Jin for more than an hour before letting him leave.
Xu Jin walked out of the study, and the maid who was waiting outside gave a blessing and said, "Young Master Xu, please come with the slave maid." β
Xu Jin smiled and nodded, and followed behind Hongying, who led Xu Jin through the corridor.
Xu Jin thought that Hongying was going to take him to the living room in front, but after walking for a while, he realized that something was wrong. Xu Jin is a frequent visitor to the Fei Mansion, and he doesn't know how many times he has traveled the road from Fei Hong's study to the front yard, so he naturally recognized that this was not the path to the front hall.
"Sister Hongying, where is this taking me?" Xu Jin asked suspiciously.
Hongying smiled and said, "Young Master Xu, the front is here!" β
Xu Jin was not worried that Hongying would harm herself, so she followed her for a while with a stomach full of doubts, and came to the outside of a small pavilion.
Xu Jin saw the girl standing in the pavilion at a glance, with a slender back like a weak willow supporting the wind, and he could guess who it was even without looking at the front.
The maidservant Hongying glanced at Xu Jin at the station outside the pavilion and motioned for him to enter the pavilion.
Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and walked into the pavilion, Fei Ruyi wore a plain Luo skirt, and her hands were as white as jade on the railing, seemingly looking at the small fish pond outside the pavilion, but from the slightly trembling fragrant shoulders, it could be seen that she was actually very nervous.
Xu Jin secretly sighed and called softly: "Ruyi girl! β
Fei Ruyi turned around slowly, her pretty faces were flushed as if she was drunk, and her long eyelashes hung shyly: "Young Master Xu, you ...... Here it comes! β
Xu Jin naturally understood how much courage it took for a lady who had been influenced by feudal etiquette since childhood to make such a move, so he was both moved and ashamed, and he knew what to say for a while.
Fei Ruyi said softly: "Young Master Xu, I'm ...... Our family will be moving back to Leadshan County in a few days. β
"Oh, that...... Ruyi girl, take care! Xu Jin suddenly became speechless.
Fei Ruyi's long eyelashes raised, and he looked at Xu Jin with his eyes fixed, and said expectantly: "Xu Gongzi has nothing else to say to Ruyi?" β
Xu Jin could clearly see his shadow from Fei Ruyi's clear eyes, which was really moving, and sighed: "Ruyi girl, you ...... Why are you bothered? β
Fei Ruyi's clear eyes gradually filled with tears, and her pretty face, which was originally covered with red glow, turned pale, as if all her strength had been drained in an instant, and she was crumbling.
"Refused, he refused, such a ruthless man!" Fei Ruyi was discouraged, but he didn't expect that he would abandon the reserve and dignity that a woman should have, and even disregard her name, but in exchange for this result, her heart at this moment seemed to be like a crumpled petal.
Xu Jin couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously reached out to support Fei Ruyi's shoulder, who shook his shoulder, covered his face and stumbled out of the pavilion.
"Three girls!" Hongying glanced at Xu Jin helplessly, and quickly chased after him.
