Chapter 118 Ruthless

There seems to be a lot of rain this year, especially since June. There has been heavy rain almost every few days. The water level of the Xinjiang River has skyrocketed. It has crossed the pier outside the South City Gate and reached the edge of the city gate. This is very worrying.

Liu Qingyuan, the county magistrate, was appointed because news of disasters in villages kept coming to the county government and the new magistrate had not yet arrived. He is now the nominal highest official of Guangxin Prefecture.

On June 25th, it was dark and windy, with lightning and thunder, as if a big hole had been poked in the sky. It rained heavily all night, and thunder exploded one after another, frightening the whole city.

The rain stopped the next day, and the Xinjiang River flooded into the city gate. The low-lying areas in the south of the city even waded knee-high into the water. Xinjiang Academy, located on the edge of the Xinjiang River, became an isolated island.

On this day, a creepy rumor spread quietly in Jiangxi. Last night, someone saw two dragons fighting among the clouds in the sky, a black dragon and a white dragon. In the end, the black dragon was defeated and the white dragon was defeated.

It also disappeared immediately. The thunder everyone heard last night was the roar of two dragons.

This morning, Xu Jin got up early as usual. The leakage under the eaves was still intermittent. The few vegetables Xie Xiaowan planted in the courtyard were knocked around by the violent storm last night, and the peppers were also broken by the strong wind.

Got two.

Xie Xiaowan stood in front of the window and was worried. Even Shangrao County was hit by floods, and the situation at her parents' home in Yugan County was probably even worse. Xie Xiaowan's home was right on the edge of Poyang Lake, less than a hundred miles away from Nanchang.

Xu Jinxing went over and hugged Xie Xiaowan's slim waist from behind, kissed her earlobe lightly, and asked with concern: "What are you thinking about?"

Xie Xiaowan's earlobes were the most sensitive, and her neck suddenly turned red. She leaned softly into her husband's arms.

"Madam, everything is ready!" At this time, the maid Xiaoyue opened the curtain and came in. Upon seeing this, she immediately left with a blushing face.

Xie Xiaowan shyly left Xu Jin's arms, straightened Xu Jin's clothes, and whispered: "Ms., let's go!"

Today is June 25th. In the next few days, the Fei family will move back to Qianshan County. Yesterday, Xu Jin made an appointment with the Fei brothers to take Xiaowan to visit the house today.

Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan walked out of the room. Erniu and Xiaoyue were already waiting outside. Erniu was carrying a basket of fresh fruits, while maid Xiaoyue was carrying a food box. Both of them were from Xie Xiaowan last night.

A quick snack.

Xu Jin directly held Xie Xiaowan's hand and walked out of the yard. Regarding Xu Jin's bold and intimate behavior, the maid Xiaoyue was shocked at the beginning, but now she is used to it.

It is said that Xiaoyue was a maid trained by Prince Xing's palace, and her appearance was also outstanding, so she was very happy. However, she was transferred to Xie Xiaowan as a dowry maid by the crown prince Zhu Houcong. At first, she felt aggrieved and frustrated, but now she feels quite happy.

lucky.

Xie Xiaowan is kind-hearted and good-tempered, and Xu Jin, the male master, is also very easy-going, so he lives very comfortably in the Xu family. There are not as many rules as in the palace. He is cautious every day and serves the master like walking on thin ice.

The key point is that Xu Jin is still a young and handsome talent. Under normal circumstances, the fate of the dowry maid is to marry the maid. The so-called marriage means that when the lady is inconvenient, for example, when the lady is pregnant and it is inconvenient to have sex, she will take her place.

The young lady serves the master. Therefore, as long as the accompanying maid is not too unlucky and the young lady she serves is not too mean, she can eventually gain the title of concubine.

Xu Jin is young and handsome. He has taken the lead in the county examination and the government examination at a young age. His future future is bound to be unlimited, so the maid Yue'er is quite satisfied with the current situation and has a faint expectation.

.

When Xu Jin and others arrived at Fei Mansion, the concierge warmly welcomed them in without any notice, and a dedicated servant took them to the living room to serve tea.

Not long after they were settled, the Fei brothers and three sisters came out together. After greeting each other, Xie Xiaowan was dragged to the backyard by Fei Xiaoyu and others to play in the inner house.

During this process, Fei Ruyi only said hello to Xu Jin at the beginning, but her expression was indifferent from beginning to end, and she did not look directly at Xu Jin. She didn't know whether she was angry or deliberately avoiding it.

Xu Jin felt disappointed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was normal to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, Xu Jin came from modern times after all. His values ​​in life are different from those of the ancients. He really couldn't embrace and enjoy them with peace of mind.

The blessing of Qi people.

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Jin not to be moved at all by a beautiful girl like Fei Ruyi, so now that Fei Ruyi was cold to him, Xu Jin felt uncomfortable.

As a female writer profoundly wrote: Every man has a mean muscle on his body.

Xu Jin chatted with the Fei brothers for a while, and then Fei Hong's elder came casually and invited Xu Jin to the study.

The Fei brothers couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two brothers were a little annoyed by their father's regard and attention to Xu Jin, his disciple.

Xu Jin went to the study room and handed several recent articles to Fei Hong for comment. The latter nodded with great satisfaction after reading them.

It is said that Xu Jin's level of classics and meanings has steadily improved, and his eight-part essay has become more and more proficient. The best proof is that his ranking in each monthly exam continues to improve.

Fei Hong stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Zi Qian, with your current writing skills, it is inevitable to pass the college examination. The key depends on your on-the-spot performance. In addition, don't make low-level mistakes like Minxian's and tarnish the paper."

But it will be invalidated."

Since Fei Hong, an authority, recognized that his level must pass the college examination, Xu Jin felt confident and nodded: "The students can save it. Thank you, Master Fei, for your advice."

Maybe he was going to move back to Qianshan County in a few days. After checking Xu Jin's homework, Fei Hong chatted with Xu Jin for the first time for more than an hour before letting him leave.

Xu Jin walked out of the study. Hong Yingfu, the maid waiting outside, bowed and said, "Master Xu, please come with me."

Xu Jin smiled and nodded and followed Hong Ying, who led Xu Jin through the corridor and across the courtyard.

Xu Jin originally thought that Hongying was going to take him to the front living room, but after walking for a while, he realized something was wrong. Xu Jin was a frequent visitor to Fei Mansion, and he had walked the road from Fei Hong's study to the front yard countless times, so naturally he suddenly

I recognized that this was not the path to the front hall.

"Sister Hongying, where are you taking me?" Xu Jin asked doubtfully.

Hongying smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, we are just ahead!"

Xu Jin was not worried that Hongying would harm him. He followed her for a while with full of doubts and came to the outside of a small pavilion.

Xu Jin saw the girl standing in the pavilion at a glance. Her back was as graceful as a weak willow supporting the wind. He could guess who it was without even looking at the front.

The maid Hongying stood outside the pavilion and winked at Xu Jin, gesturing for him to enter the pavilion.

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, and walked into the pavilion. Fei Ruyi was wearing a plain skirt, and her jade-white hands were lightly resting on the railing. She seemed to be looking at the small fish pond outside the pavilion in trance, but from the slightly trembling fragrance,

I could tell that she was actually very nervous.

Xu Jin sighed secretly and called softly: "Miss Ruyi!"

Fei Ruyi slowly turned around, her pretty face flushed and her long eyelashes lowered shyly: "Mr. Xu, you...are here!"

Xu Jin naturally understood how much courage it would take for a lady who had been influenced by feudal ethics since childhood to do such a thing, so he was both moved and ashamed, and at the same time he knew what to say.

Fei Ruyi said softly: "Mr. Xu, I... our family will move back to Qianshan County in a few days."

"Oh, then... Miss Ruyi, please take good care of yourself!" Xu Jin suddenly became unable to speak.

Fei Ruyi raised her long eyelashes, looked at Xu Jin intently with her water-cut eyes, and said expectantly: "Master Xu, do you have anything else to say to Ruyi?"

Xu Jin could clearly see his own shadow in Fei Ruyi's clear eyes. It was so clear that it was touching. He sighed: "Miss Ruyi, you... why are you doing this!"

Fei Ruyi's clear eyes were gradually filled with tears, and her pretty face that was originally covered in red clouds turned pale, as if all her strength had been drained out of her in an instant, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"Rejected, he refused, what a cruel man!" Fei Ruyi was completely dejected. He didn't expect that he had given up the restraint and dignity that a woman should have, and even ignored her reputation, but what she got in exchange was this result. At this moment, her heart felt like

Crushed flower petals.

Xu Jin couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously reached out to hold Fei Ruyi's shoulder. The latter shook his shoulders, covered his face and stumbled out of the pavilion.
