Xu Jin never dragged his feet in his work, and went to Ruihong Town with his father-in-law to see the house that day. It is said that since Ruihong Town was ransacked by the Poyang Lake thief Ling Shiyi some time ago, perhaps because they feel that it is no longer safe here, there are many people who plan to sell their houses and move away, so the housing is very sufficient.

Xie Qing is also a cheerful person, under the guidance of the broker, he looked at a few sets of houses, and selected a set on the same day, connecting the courtyard to nearly 300 square meters, the seller asked for fifty silver, Xu Jin played tricks, and the price was killed to forty taels, so the two sides made a deal and agreed to go to the county government to handle the transfer documents.

Xu Jin did not mix the rest of the things, and stayed idle in Beipo Village for two days, and on the fourth day, he said goodbye to his father-in-law's family, and drove to Leadshan County with the Fei brothers, planning to return to Shangrao County after visiting the teacher Fei Hong.

It is about 300 miles from Ruihong Town, Yugan County to Leadshan County, and it takes three or four days to travel at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.

The Fei brothers went to Nanchang to take the exam this time, and they deliberately brought as many as eight nurses, so they didn't have to worry about safety along the way.

The group hurried unhurriedly, and even stopped to visit places of interest on the way, so it took eight days to enter the territory of Leadshan County.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the sun was blazing at noon, the autumn tiger was releasing the aftermath to his heart's content, Xu Jin was sitting in the carriage, and there was a girl Huanyue'er playing a fan beside him, but he didn't feel how hot, but Erniu, who was in charge of driving the car, was sweating.

Zhao Xing, who was riding a horse to open the way in front of him, came to the carriage and said respectfully: "Xu Gongzi, turning over the Yangmei Ridge in front is Luoshi Village, and there are still ten miles to reach the county seat of Leadshan, the two young masters asked you, are you in Luoshi Village, or rush to the county seat in one go?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Everyone is tired and thirsty at noon, let's rest first, find a place to eat and drink enough before hurrying." ”

"Okay!" Zhao Xing happily turned the horse's head and said loudly: "Everyone work hard, and eat after crossing Yangmei Ridge." ”

All the nurses were in good spirits and urged the horses to speed up.

Although Yangmei Ridge is called Yangmei Ridge, the most planted on the ridge is not bayberry, but tea trees, but you can see rows and rows of tea trees on top of each other, like waves.

A group of carriages and horses climbed the Yangmei Ridge along the official road, and saw the small village in the shade of green trees under the ridge from a distance - Luoshi Village.

There is a small river outside Luoshi Village, which really looks like a snail from the ridge, and Luoshi Village is named after it.

However, when the carriage suddenly stopped before it reached Luoshi Village, Xu Jin lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that the carriage that the Fei brothers were riding in front of him also stopped, and Zhao Xing Mu Yong and other guards were also riding on horses and looking, so he asked: "Erniu, what happened ahead?" ”

Erniu wiped the sweat from his forehead and hummed: "Uncle Ten, there is a stone bridge in front of many people, and I don't know what happened." ”

At this moment, Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong in the carriage in front actually got out of the car, and Xu Jin saw this and said: "Xiaowan, you are waiting in the car, I'll get out of the car and see what's going on!" ”

Xu Jin got out of the carriage and walked to the front, and sure enough, he saw a stone arch bridge more than ten meters in front of him, and both sides of the bridge were surrounded by villagers, and a young woman was sitting on the bridge railing.

Xu Jin couldn't help but ask curiously: "What happened to the people?" ”

Fei Maoxian shook his head and said, "I don't know either!" ”

Fei Maozhong said: "Let's go, let's go over and take a look!" ”

So the three of them went to the past.

The stone arch bridge is about ten meters long, and there is a small river five or six meters wide at the bottom, the river is clear green, and it looks like it should be quite deep.

At this time, both sides of the stone arch bridge were full of people, pointing at the women on the bridge, and occasionally you could hear words such as "the world is going down" and "shameless".

Fei Maozhong arched his hand to a villager who was watching and asked, "This big brother, why can't this girl on the bridge think about it?" ”

The villager saw Xu Jin and others dressed as scholars, and politely explained: "This woman is from this village, and her family is a tea garden, and she secretly got along with a guy in the tea garden. ”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd on the other side of the bridge, and a middle-aged couple ran onto the stone bridge in panic.

The villager smiled and said, "That's Boss Huang and his wife in the tea garden, there's a good show to watch!" ”

The middle-aged couple was about forty years old, the man was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, and the woman was short and fat, almost twice as wide as the man.

When the young woman sitting on the railing of the bridge saw the couple, she immediately screamed: "Don't come here, if you get any closer to your daughter, you will jump!" ”

The couple was suddenly too frightened to move, and the fat woman gasped and shouted, "Good girl, come down quickly, you are scared of your mother!" ”

The young woman said loudly: "You promise your daughter's marriage to Brother Nan, and your daughter will come down!" ”

The fat woman stomped her feet and said, "Silly girl, what's so good about that poor scholar, even if the family is poor, it's so much older than you, if you want to find a younger one!" ”

"My daughter doesn't care, my daughter likes Brother Nan, and I won't marry Brother Nan in this life!"

The tall and thin Boss Huang hurriedly shouted angrily: "How can this be the case, then you jump into the river, Lao Tzu should have never given birth to a girl like you!" ”

The fat woman glared at her eyes and scolded: "Huang Desheng, it's not that you don't feel distressed when you are pregnant with your daughter in October, right?" Or maybe it's already calculated, and when Fang'er is gone, you have an excuse to take a concubine and regenerate? ”

The tall and thin yellow boss suddenly weakened, and said curtly: "Don't mess around, okay, I'...... It doesn't mean that at all! ”

The fat woman put her hands on her waist and said loudly without reluctance: "I don't mean that, I have that thought, don't you?" Shameless old thing, don't think I don't know that you're eye-to-eye with that fox! ”

Boss Huang ate and said: "Who...... Who's eyebrow-winning, you...... You're just vexatious, I'm too lazy to argue with you! ”

"Who is making trouble unreasonably, old thing, if you don't make it clear today, my aunt and grandmother won't be able to spare you!"

The woman on the bridge railing said a little annoyed: "Don't make any more noise, I'll jump off if you make any more noise!" ”

The fat woman was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't make noise, mother don't make noise, good daughter, hurry down, how dangerous it is to sit on it!" ”

"If you don't promise your daughter, you won't come down!" The young woman on the railing simply stood up, and her body staggered very frighteningly.

The fat woman and Boss Huang were so frightened that their faces turned white, and the latter also relaxed his tone and said: "Fang'er, come down, there is something to discuss, you like to read people, Dad will give you one more thing, Yao, just like that little scholar, how good it is to be young and handsome, hey, he is still a showman, that's better!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but have black lines on his head, because the person Boss Huang was referring to was him. The eyes of everyone present couldn't help but look over here, even the young woman standing on the bridge railing, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xu Jin.

At this moment, two petite figures stood in front of Xu Jin, it was Xie Xiaowan and Yahuan Yue'er, it turned out that the two waited for a while and did not see Xu Jin return to the carriage, so they came down to take a look, and when they heard Boss Huang's words, Xie Xiaowan's girl subconsciously protected her father-in-law, and stared vigilantly at the woman on the bridge railing.

Yahuan Xiaoyue raised her chin to the woman on the bridge railing like a demonstration, and said coldly: "What do you see, my lord has already married, and it's useless for you to look!" ”

The woman on the bridge railing pouted and said, "Cut, isn't it amazing?" This girl can't look down on it, the little scholar behind you is as good as my Nan brother, and it's useless! ”

Xu Jin touched his chin speechlessly, grandma's was actually despised.
