Song Qiu and the others were on the second floor of the teahouse, and they could see Miss Fang more clearly than the people below.
Especially A Ling who has good eyesight.
As soon as he saw Miss Fang, Aling sighed, "I didn't even look at her face, but just by looking at her eyes and figure, I can tell that Miss Fang is really a beauty! Look at her, she's as white as snow.
of!"
Lu Jing also laughed: "I wonder who will marry such a beautiful lady?"
"Look, look, look, Miss Fang is going to start throwing hydrangeas!" New Year shouted from the window.
Everyone else also leaned towards the window, waiting to see the grand spectacle of the hydrangea toss.
I saw a crowd of people waiting to grab the hydrangeas downstairs of Tianxiang Tower. They were all excited. The crowd was pushing and shouting like waves.
The crowd was even louder, and everyone was shouting: "Throw it to me, throw it to me! Miss Fang, throw it here! Look at me, look at me!"
There were hundreds to hundreds of people waiting to grab the hydrangeas, not to mention those outside who were just joining in the fun.
It was really lively outside Tianxiang Tower.
It was the first time for Song Qiu and the others to see such a grand occasion. It was really new!
Song Qiu also stretched his neck to see who would snatch the hydrangea in the end.
The excitement went on and on, and under the spotlight, Miss Fang moved on the third floor.
Throw it away, throw it away.
Everyone waited without blinking an eye and with rapt attention.
Finally, the hydrangea in Miss Fang's hand was thrown up high, and then fell into the crowd.
Grab the hydrangeas!
I saw that the crowd was in chaos, and the hydrangea that had fallen high was being snatched up and pushed up again, and then fell again, now this way, now that way, and for a while no one could grab it.
The hydrangea was going back and forth between you and me, and finally, it drew a high arc, and then, as if it had eyes, it fell straight into the arms of a person at the center of the group that was grabbing the hydrangea.
.
"Someone got it!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Then the crowd looked there in unison, and there stood a skinny man with a hydrangea in his hand.
Song Qiu and the others also hurriedly took a look, and were stunned when they saw it.
Good guy, isn't this the one-eyed shopkeeper?
The one-eyed shopkeeper who is in his twenties and has no family is here to grab the hydrangea?
Oh, no, the one-eyed shopkeeper was watching the fun from behind the crowd. The person who was snatching the hydrangea was too messy and swatted him in the past. Someone hit him and it happened to fall on him.
There were people from Tao Town in the crowd who were surprised when they saw that the person who got the hydrangea was Jia Xiucai.
Didn’t this Jia Xiucai say he wouldn’t marry? Why did he come to join in the fun?
Those who did not grab the hydrangeas shook their heads in regret.
When the owner of Tianxiang Tower saw that someone had snatched the hydrangeas, he also hurriedly brought them down.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "He is one-eyed!"
"That's right! It doesn't count if a handicapped person grabs the hydrangea!"
"Yes, yes, it doesn't count!"
"Throw it again, throw it again!"
The crowd cheered and joined in, chatting in a lively manner.
But Jia Xiucai, who was holding the hydrangea, was unhurried and did not appear embarrassed at all, as if he was not holding the hydrangea in his hands and he was not trying to steal the bride, but was just standing here.
Landlord Fang walked down the road and was stunned when he saw that the last person to get the hydrangea was Jia Xiucai.
Then he heard the crowd shouting and saying that it didn't count, and he was about to say that it didn't count and wanted to take the hydrangea back.
But Jia Xiucai had already handed over the embroidered ball first and said with a smile: "If someone has a disability, it doesn't count."
Being both from Taozhen, Landlord Fang was naturally familiar with Jia Xiucai. After all, in Taozhen for so many years, the total number of scholars in Taozhen did not exceed ten.
At that time, Jia Xiucai was a person who everyone in the town had high expectations for winning the election.
At that time, the landlord was also very optimistic about this young man.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances. Without one eye, he will never be able to participate in the imperial examination again. All his talents will be in vain.
If he hadn't lost one eye, he would probably have been awarded Jinshi by now, right?
It's also a pity.
Landlord Fang also knew that he had said that he would not take a wife. When he saw that he was bringing hydrangeas, he was about to reach out and take them.
But just when he was about to stretch out his hand, a little maid ran out of Tianxiang Tower and whispered something in Landlord Fang's ear.
Then Landlord Fang paused, stopped his hand, and asked: "Jia Wenqing, since you came to see the excitement, have you ever thought about grabbing the hydrangea?"
Jia Xiucai said: "Someone does not meet the requirements stated in Master Fang's preface."
"What if you meet the criteria? Do you want to steal the hydrangea from my girl Fang?" Landlord Fang said.
The onlookers all screamed when they heard this. Could it be that Landlord Fang is interested in this one-eyed dragon?
The crowd started to boo, "Oh, I'm so disabled that I can't grab the hydrangeas!"
Why are you happy just because you are a scholar?
A local from Youtao Town shouted: "Mr. Fang, have you forgotten? Mr. Jia Xiucai said ten years ago that he would never marry a wife in this life!"
Landlord Fang stared at Jia Xiucai and said, "I don't want to marry a wife, but I can marry into a wife. Jia Wenqing, are you willing?"
Jia Xiucai laughed at himself and said: "I am extremely ashamed. I am not good at literature and martial arts. I thought I would make a name for myself in business, but I have been confused for ten years and still have no progress. I am really ashamed of my ancestors.
You bastard, how can you talk about starting a family? Isn’t it wrong to mislead others and yourself?”
Landlord Fang said sternly: "Jia Wenqing, I want to ask you seriously again. I have this hydrangea in your hand. For counting, would you like to go up to the third floor?"
Jia Xiucai was slightly startled. When he met the landlord's eyes above him, he raised his eyes and looked towards the third floor of Tianxiang Tower. The woman in red on the corridor was no longer there, but looking inside, somewhere invisible, he felt a line of sight.
.
After a moment, Jia Xiucai took a deep breath and said, "I would like to go up and meet Miss Fang."
The crowd only saw the one-eyed Jia Xiucai following Landlord Fang into Tianxiang Tower, and could no longer see what was going on inside.
But the crowd did not disperse, but the discussion was intense.
"Oh, why did this hydrangea fall into the hands of the one-eyed dragon! I almost grabbed it just now!"
"It's not like someone with a physical disability can grab it! It really depends on the person! Who is this one-eyed dragon? Why does it seem to me that the landlord seems to think highly of him?"
"You people from other places don't know, don't you? Even though he is a one-eyed man, he is a talented scholar! If he hadn't lost one eye in an accident, he would have become an official now! It would be great to learn from him!"
Scholars have always been valued by others. Even though he is one-eyed, he is still a scholar!
It doesn't mean that it's a foregone conclusion if you go to the third floor. People are waiting downstairs, thinking that Miss Fang will be attracted to Jia Xiucai after seeing her?
That way you can throw it away again.
Everyone was looking forward to it, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Landlord Fang stood up on the third floor and smiled and invited everyone into the building for a wedding banquet.
When everyone heard this, they thought, that’s it, it’s over.
Miss Fang actually fell in love with this one-eyed dragon!
It's really puzzling.
Song Qiu and the others were also curious, so when Jia Xiucai was about to follow Landlord Fang into Tianxiang Tower, Aling also sneaked in.
Landlord Fang came back a few moments before he came out to treat everyone to a wedding banquet. He took a big sip of tea and said, "It turns out that Miss Fang has been interested in Jia Xiucai for a long time! This is really consensual and a happy ending!"
