In Beipo Village, Ruihong Town, the weeds next to the trail are still stained with early morning dewdrops, Xie Xiaowan walks on the country road with a wooden basin on her side, and the fourteen-year-old girl is in full bloom, like a tasseled bun, full of youthful atmosphere.

The sweet-looking Yahuan Yue'er also followed behind with a wooden basin on her side, and her two sleeves were rolled up, revealing two white and delicate arms. After all, it is the girl ring who was carefully selected in the palace to serve the prince Zhu Houxi, and her appearance and temperament are naturally the most outstanding among the same batch of girl rings.

There is a small river at the bottom of the slope of Beipo Village, and the village women usually wash clothes and vegetables in the Xiaohewan at the bottom of the slope, Xie Xiaowan and Xiaoyue are about to go to the Xiaohewan at the bottom of the slope to wash clothes.

Originally, with Xie Xiaowan's current identity, Yahuan Yue'er naturally did the laundry, but Xie Xiaowan was born poor, and she was a hardworking and frugal girl, how could she be idle, and it was boring to live at home, so she went to the river with Yahuan to wash clothes every day.

Of course, in addition to washing clothes, there is also a purpose, naturally waiting for Xianggong to come back, since Xu Jin left to go to Nanchang, this little girl is worried every day.

"Xiaowan, do the laundry!"

"Sister Sprouts!"

Xie Xiaowan and Xiaoyue came to Xiaohewan, and several village women and sisters-in-law were washing clothes, smiling and greeting.

"Xiaowan, there is still a place here!" A village girl moved her own wooden basin to make way for Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er.

Xie Xiaowan smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Sister Cuihua!" ”

A village woman quipped: "Xiaowan, when will you change your name to Cuihua's sister-in-law?" ”

Xie Xiaowan smiled: "You can do it at any time, as long as Sister Cuihua is willing!" ”

The village girl suddenly blushed, lowered her head and rubbed her clothes silently.

This village aunt's name is Miao Cuihua, a villager from the neighboring Miaojia Village, who has already been engaged to her brother-in-law Xie Yidao, and is waiting for Xie Yidao to make up a dowry of ten taels of silver to get married.

Xue Cuihua is about sixteen or seventeen years old, she looks quite standard, and her skin is fair, no wonder she dares to ask for a dowry of ten taels of silver, which is not a small amount for ordinary people's families, and she may not be able to save it for several years.

"Sister, sister......"

At this moment, Xie Sangun's kid came briskly from the far side of the dirt road with a basket, and the protector was open like that, revealing the solid muscles in his chest and abdomen. Although he is only half the size of a child who is less than eleven years old, due to the reason of practicing martial arts since childhood, he is half a head taller than children of the same age, and he is as strong as a little tiger.

The children of the poor family have long been in charge, and now that Xie Yidao and Xie Erjian are not at home, some of the work in the family has fallen on the third child, so before dawn this morning, Xie Sangun and his father picked yesterday's catch to the town to sell.

Xie Sangun ran to the side of the river bay with the fish basket in three steps and two steps, sweating profusely and panting. Xie Xiaowan hurriedly took out a towel to wipe her brother's sweat, and said angrily: "Why are you running so fast, what about our father?" ”

Xie Sangun said with a smile: "There are still a few Wang Ba that have not been sold, our father is guarding the stall, hehe, sister, I have good news for you!" ”

"What's the good news?" Xie Xiaowan asked casually while carefully wiping her sweat for her younger brother.

Xie Sangun said proudly: "My brother-in-law is a talented man, and he is also the head of the hospital examination!" ”

Xie Xiaowan was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

Xiao Yue next to her also straightened up in surprise, and the village women and sisters-in-law around her subconsciously stopped what they were doing.

Xie Sangun patted his chest and said: "Of course it's true, Boss Yu who received the goods just came back from the city, and the list of the hospital examination is posted outside the county office, and the top of the list is Xu Jin of Shangrao County, hehe, my brother-in-law is amazing, he takes the first test every time, I heard that it is the third in the history of our Jiangxi Province...... What's that? ”

"It's a little three!" Yahuan Yue'er interjected with a smile, after all, it was Yahuan carefully cultivated by the palace, and her knowledge was naturally not low.

Xie Sangun nodded violently and said, "Yes, yes, it's Xiao Sanyuan, Yue'er, isn't Xiao Sanyuan very powerful?" ”

Yue'er nodded and said: "Of course, the boy can only be called a little three-yuan when he takes off the head of the case in the three passes, and our Daimyo Dynasty has been established so far, and there are only a handful of people who have won the title of Little Sanyuan, congratulations to Mrs., the son will be a showman in the future." ”

"Congratulations to Sister Sprouts!"

"Sprouts are so blessed, look at her nose and chin, I said she was a blessed girl a long time ago."

A group of village women and sisters-in-law congratulated one after another, full of envy. I think that Xie Xiaowan married "secretly" at the beginning, and the dowry was only a bucket of rice, and some people present even laughed behind their backs, but now they only have envy and jealousy.

Xie Xiaowan was happy in her heart, Xianggong was the most capable Xianggong in the world, and he had never let herself down.

"Congratulations to Sister Xiaowan!" Miao Cuihua also looked envious, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in her heart, the more capable Xiaowan's man is, the greater the help he will naturally give to his mother's family in the future.

"Sister, I'll go home first and tell my mother the good news!" After Xie Sangun finished speaking, he took the fish basket and ran away.

At this time, on the wharf of Ruihong Town, a flat-bottomed sand boat was docking, Xu Jin and the Fei brothers and others went ashore one after another, and finally Xie Erjian also jumped off the boat.

It is said that Xu Jin and others left Nanchang two days ago and went down the Gan River to Poyang Lake.

Sun Sui specially sent a sand boat to send Xu Jin and others to Ruihong Town, while he himself led a group of guards across Poyang Lake to Nankang City, presumably to arrange for someone to secretly send the jade seal into the capital. Xie Erjian specially asked Sun Sui for a few days off to go home with Xu Jin.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's take this money and go to the town for a drink first!" Xu Jin took a tael of silver and stuffed it to several soldiers in charge of the ship.

The leader of the Ming army is a small banner, surnamed Zhang Mingmeng, and happily took the silver and said, "Thank you Xu Gongzi!" ”

Xie Erjian arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of Brother Zhang waiting for me for half a day, and I will rush back before dark!" ”

"Brother Xie is polite, don't talk about it for a long time, even if you spend the night!" Zhang Meng hurriedly said.

Although Zhang Meng is a small flag, he is just a small lieutenant who is not in the stream, Xie Erjian is Sun Sui's personal soldier, so he naturally does not dare to take it.

After sending the Ming army soldier who was in charge of the ship, Xu Jin and others entered Ruihong Town, arranged for the Fei brothers and others to stay, and by the way, they also bought some souvenirs and returned to Beipo Village.

It is said that he left Nanchang in a hurry that day, so Xu Jin didn't have time to buy gifts for Xiaowan and others.

The last time I came, Ruihong Town happened to be ransacked by the water thief Ling Shiyi, so it was quite deserted, but at this time it was very lively, there were many cargo ships parked on the wharf, people came and went on the streets, there were hawker stalls everywhere, most of them were selling aquatic products, and the air was filled with all kinds of fishy smells.

"Hey, isn't that the old man?

Everyone was strolling on the street, and Erniu suddenly buzzed. Xu Jin raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw his father-in-law squatting on the side of the street chatting with people, and a few green-skinned kings covered with nets were casually thrown in front of him.

Xu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Father-in-law! ”

Xie Qing was overjoyed when he saw Xu Jin, stood up and said, "The virtuous son-in-law is back!" ”

"Lao Xie, this is your uncle, tsk, a scholar deserves to be a scholar, handsome and aura, your sprouts are so blessed!"

Several fishermen next to him looked at Xu Jin and the others with envy.

Xie Qing laughed and said: "A few old brothers, I'll go back first, I'll drink two cups at home for dinner, fortunately, Wang Ba didn't sell it, the cauldron is boiling tonight!" After speaking, he picked up those Wang Ba and threw them into Xie Erjian's arms.

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong couldn't help but secretly speak, and said secretly: "What a fierce man!" ”

It wasn't obvious when Xie Qing squatted just now, but now when he stood up, his height of nearly two meters, coupled with his bronzed skin, was as intimidating as an iron tower.

Xu Jin introduced the Fei Maoxian brothers to Xie Qing and was polite to each other.

Next, the Fei brothers opened a few rooms in the only inn in the town and stayed there, preparing to wait for Xu Jin for two days, and then go back to Leadshan County together.

Xu Jin first bought a carriage, and then bought a lot of gifts, and then rushed back to Beipo Village with his father-in-law.
