Xu Jin was never sloppy in doing things, so he and his father-in-law went to Ruihong Town to look at the house that day. It was said that Ruihong Town had been robbed by the Poyang Lake thief Ling Shiyi some time ago. Maybe he felt that it was no longer safe, but it was.

Many people plan to sell their houses and move out, so there is plenty of housing.

Xie Qing is also a cheerful person. Under the guidance of the broker, he looked at several houses and selected one on the same day. The yard and the yard were nearly 300 square meters. The seller asked for fifty silver. Xu Jin was just talking and the price was reached.

Forty taels, so the two parties concluded the deal and agreed on a date to go to the county government office to handle the transfer documents.

Xu Jin stopped getting involved in the rest and stayed in Beipo Village for two more days. On the fourth day, he said goodbye to his father-in-law and his family, and drove to Qianshan County with the Fei brothers, planning to visit the teacher on the way.

After Fei Hong, return to Shangrao County.

It is about three hundred miles from Ruihong Town in Yugan County to Qianshan County, and it would take three or four days at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.

The Fei brothers went to Nanchang this time to take the exam, and they brought eight guards with them, so they didn't have to worry about safety along the way. Occasionally they encountered a few blind bandits, but they were easily dismissed.

The group of people traveled leisurely, even stopping to visit places of interest along the way, so it took them eight days to enter Qianshan County.

On the fifth day of September, the sun was blazing at noon, and Qiu Huhu was showing off his remaining power. Xu Jin was sitting in the carriage, and the maid Yue'er was fanning beside him. He didn't feel too hot, but Erniu, who was in charge of driving the carriage,

I was sweating profusely.

Zhao Xing, who was riding in the front to clear the way, rode his horse to the carriage and said respectfully: "Mr. Xu, over the Yangmei Ridge in front is Luoshi Village. There are still ten miles to reach Qianshan County. The two young masters ask you, is it

To be the best in Luoshi Village, or to rush to the county seat in one go?"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Everyone is tired and thirsty at noon. Let's take a rest first and find a place to eat and drink before we continue on our way."

"Okay!" Zhao Xing turned the horse's head happily and said loudly: "Everyone, work harder, climb over Yangmeiling and hit the tip to eat."

All the guards at the hospital were refreshed and urged their horses to move faster.

Although Yangmeiling is called Yangmeiling, the most planted thing on the ridge is not Yangmei, but tea trees. You can see rows and rows of tea trees stacked on top of each other, like waves.

A group of carriages and horses climbed up Yangmeiling along the official road, and from a distance they saw the small village Luoshi Village under the ridge hidden by green trees.

There is a small river surrounding Luoshi Village. Looking from the ridge, it really looks like a snail. This is why Luoshi Village got its name.

However, when the carriage arrived in front of Luoshi Village, it suddenly stopped. Xu Jin opened the curtain and took a look and found that the carriage in front of the Fei brothers had also stopped, and Zhao Xing, Mou Yong and other nursing staff also stopped.

He sat on the horse and looked around, so he asked: "Er Niu, what happened ahead?"

Erniu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice: "Uncle Ten, there is a stone bridge in front of us and many people are surrounding it. I don't know what happened."

At this moment, Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong, who were in the carriage in front, actually got out of the car. Seeing this, Xu Jin said: "Xiaowan, you guys wait in the car, I'll get out of the car and see what's going on!"

Xu Jin got off the carriage and walked to the front. Sure enough, he saw a stone arch bridge about ten meters in front of him. The bridge was surrounded by villagers on both sides, and there was a young woman sitting on the bridge railing.

Xu Jin couldn't help but asked curiously: "The people sacrifice and the people receive, what happened?"

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

Fei Maozhong said: "Come on, let's go over and take a look and we'll find out!"

So the three of them walked over.

The stone arch bridge is about ten meters long, with a small river five or six meters wide underneath. The water is clear green and looks to be quite deep. The woman is sitting on the bridge railing, with her feet dangling in the air and her hands pressed against the bridge.

On the railing, the body was slightly leaning forward, and he might fall into the river at any time, which made people sweat.

At this time, both sides of the stone arch bridge were crowded with people, pointing at the woman on the bridge. Occasionally, you could hear words such as "the world is declining" and "shameless".

Fei Maozhong raised his hands to a villager who was watching and asked: "Brother, why can't this woman on the bridge think about it?"

Seeing Xu Jin and others dressed as scholars, the villager politely explained: "This woman is from this village, and her family owns a tea garden. She secretly had an affair with a tea garden clerk. When her family found out, they strongly opposed it, so

Those who are looking for death and survival, hey, the world is really in decline!"

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

The villager laughed and said: "That's Mr. Huang and his wife from the tea garden. They're going to see a good show!"

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

When the young woman sitting on the bridge railing saw the couple, she immediately screamed: "Don't come over, my daughter will jump if you come near her!"

The couple were so frightened that they dared not move. The fat woman gasped and shouted: "Good girl, come down quickly, you scared my mother!"

The young woman said loudly: "If you agree to your daughter's marriage to Brother Nan, your daughter will come down!"

The fat woman stamped her feet and said: "Silly girl, what good is that poor scholar? Even if his family is poor, he is still so much older than you. If you want to find someone, you should find someone younger!"

"My daughter doesn't care, she just likes Brother Nan. I won't marry anyone except Brother Nan in this life!"

The tall and thin boss Huang yelled angrily: "That's unreasonable. Then just jump into the river. I'll pretend I never gave birth to a daughter like you!"

The fat woman glared and cursed: "Huang Desheng, don't you feel bad that your daughter was not born to you in ten months of pregnancy? Or maybe it was planned long ago so that when Fang'er is gone, you will have an excuse to take a concubine again?"

The tall, thin and yellow boss suddenly lost his momentum and said sarcastically: "Please don't bother me, I... don't mean that at all!"

The fat woman put her hands on her waist and said loudly and reluctantly: "You don't mean that, do you have that intention? Shameless old thing, don't think I don't know about your flirtation with that foxy girl!"

Boss Huang chuckled and said: "Who... who is making a fuss? You... you are simply being unreasonable and I am too lazy to argue with you!"

"Who is making trouble unreasonably, old man, if you don't speak clearly today, my aunt won't be able to spare you!"

The woman on the bridge railing said angrily: "Stop arguing, if you continue to argue I will jump off!"

The fat woman was startled and said quickly: "Stop it, mother, stop it. My good daughter, come down quickly. It's so dangerous to sit up there!"

"If you don't agree to my daughter, you won't come down!" The young woman on the bridge railing simply stood up, her body swaying very frighteningly.

The fat woman and Boss Huang turned pale with fright, and the latter also relaxed his tone and said: "Fang'er, come down quickly, we have something to discuss. If you like scholars, dad will give you another one, eh, that's it.

Just like that little scholar, it’s great that he’s young and handsome, but hey, he’s also a scholar, that’s even better!”

Xu Jin couldn't help but have black lines on his head, because the person that Boss Huang was referring to was him. Everyone present couldn't help but look here, even the young woman standing on the bridge railing was no exception. Seeing Xu Jin

His eyes actually lit up.

At this moment, two petite figures stood in front of Xu Jin. It turned out to be Xie Xiaowan and maid Yue'er. It turned out that they had waited for a while but did not see Xu Jin returning to the carriage, so they came down to take a look. When they heard that

After Boss Huang's words, Xie Xiaowan subconsciously protected her husband and stared at the woman on the bridge railing warily.

The maid Xiaoyue even raised her chin to the woman on the bridge railing in a demonstration, and said coldly: "What are you looking at? My master has been married a long time ago. It's useless for you to look at it!"

The woman on the bridge railing curled her lips and said, "Oh, it's amazing, isn't it? I just don't like it. The little scholar behind you is as good as my Brother Nan. I think it's useless!"
