Chapter 389 Good dreams are hard to come true
The road to the Jiangzhai to Houzhai is forbidden. Except for the craftsmen who work, the idle people are not allowed to stay. The fruit trees are planted next to the road, including dates and pears, heavy and red, lowering the branches, making people feel the joy of harvest. A few joking girls walked out of the wooden fence of Houzhai. The silver bell-like laughter made the birds pecking at the tree avoid away from the distance. The sun shines on their colorful dresses, swaying the joy of the ground.
Time is like lightning. The thin and yellow little girl had grown into a young and beautiful girl of fifteen years old. She had curved eyebrows, soft eyes, and a smile on her fair cheeks. The sun shone on her face, which was particularly charming.
"Yan'er, this flower skirt you are wearing is so beautiful. It will shine in the sun. I asked my father to buy a piece of material for you to make a flower skirt." The person who spoke was Huang Qiaohong, the daughter of third uncle Huang Kailin. She was the same age as Yan'er and grew up to become a big girl. Xiaohong touched Yan'er's clothing with her hands, feeling the smoothness and flexibility.
Yan'er smiled and said, "I have nowhere to buy this money. It was brought to me by my sister-in-law in the capital. I heard it was a tribute, and the empress in the palace also wore such clothes."
"Ah", Yan'er's words caused a lot of surprise around her. In addition to Xiaohong, among these girls were Zhen'er, Zhou Yingruo, the granddaughter of the tutor Mr. Zhou, and her uncle's cousin Huang Qiaoling, Huang Qiaozhen and others.
Xiaohong's lost expression flashed and she smiled and said, "I'm looking for my aunt to go. My aunt loves me the most. There must be still remaining fabrics there." The aunt, Jiang Huang, was also the girl next to her. They all looked at how to ask Jiang Huang.
Yan'er smiled and said, "My mother really has some inventory, but I heard from my mother that each has its own uses, and there are those who are ready to give it to you as a dowry. Mr. Wu will not marry you until October. Now you have used the fabrics. What can you do?"
Xiaohong blushed and lowered her head, unable to hold back the joy in her eyes.
Now Pingshan Town is rich and beautiful, and girls outside are rushing to marry in. The girls in the town have no worries about marrying. There is only one young lady in the Jiang family, and naturally they are like the princess of Pingshan Town. Since the age of thirteen, matchmakers have come to the house one after another. They are all wealthy and businessmen. Jiang Huang regrets her little daughter and cannot bear to let her marry her early, so she wants her daughter to agree to it before she can give up.
Jiang Huayan has been in charge of the family since she was a child. She is not an ordinary daughter. She has a rouge industry. She doesn't see her. In addition, Jiang Anyi always wants to check the girl and needs his consent to get married. This year, Jiang Anyi temporarily became the governor of Huazhou, and his identity has been increased. The originally intended family of officials and gentry felt that they could not reach the top and dared not come to the house again.
Jiang Huayan was unattainable, and the daughters of the three brothers of the Huang family became a popular choice. The matchmaker who went to Huang's house to propose marriage was very likely to flatten the threshold. Huang Qiaohong's sisters, except for the farmer family that the Jiang family had betrothed before they became famous, all married rich and powerful families, and their lives were good overall. The Huang brothers' vision was getting higher and higher, and their choice of son-in-law became increasingly strict, and the remaining daughters were no longer easily allowed to others.
A family of women seeks hundreds of families. There are always some poor scholars in the world who think that the good things of a man and a woman in a good fortune in the storybook will fall on their own. Whenever the flowers bloom, scholars wearing Confucian robes come from all over the place, wandering under the flowers, reciting poems, or meditating, and posing as talented.
From time to time, rumors leaked. XXX was attracted by the wealthy family in Pingshan Town as a son-in-law, and both wealth and fortune were great. These rumors stimulated countless scholars to come in. First, they would like to gain the talent of the top scholar, and second, they would look at the beautiful scenery of Pingshan Town. The best result would be to become a "lucky person" favored by God. In the sea of flowers, looking around, a piece of blue shirt actually became a scene in Pingshan Town.
The encounter between Huang Qiaohong and Mr. Wu is the most legendary among countless legends. Last April, the magnolia flower bloomed. Wu Jiacheng, a poor scholar from Yinxi County, Dezhou, met Huang Qiaohong, the eldest daughter of Huang Sanwai, by the south stream in the village. She glanced at the surprised moment. The scholar was handsome and the girl was pretty. The lover had a heart of touch. The next day, the two met at the same place again, and the weather was beautiful.
Huang Qiaohong studied and read with Mr. Zhou since childhood, and was quite knowledgeable. After talking to Wu Jiacheng for several years, she found that the scholar was indeed talented and not the rumors that the man was interested in his intentions. However, Huang Qiaohong did feel pampered with talent and secretly sponsored Wu Jiacheng for fifty taels of silver to let him study hard.
The beauty gave me a study silver. Wu Jiacheng was very grateful and returned to his hometown to study hard. In August, he actually passed the imperial examination. In joy, Zheng Erzhongzhi brought a matchmaker to propose marriage. Huang Kailin was furious and believed that Wu Jiacheng was insulting his family style, so he ordered his servants to drive Wu Jiacheng out.
Today, Huang Kailin is no longer the farmer he used to be. He has a wealth of 100,000 yuan and dozens of hectares of fertile land. When he arrives at the county yard, he will respectfully call him "Three Officers". Even when he arrives at the government office, he will have a seat. How could he take a juren seriously?
In a rage, Huang Kailin called his daughter and scolded him, alarmed Jiang Huang. After asking the reason, Jiang Huang advised: "This matter may have been rumored outside. As the saying goes, family scandals are not made public. If the scholar can still make it right, he will simply respond."
Huang Kailin said angrily: "That boy has given birth to a good skin, but he is afraid that he is not a good match for Hong'er."
"At this point, Hong'er's reputation is important. As for if he has any unfair intentions in the future, let An Yi deal with him."
So he called him back to Wu Jiacheng, recognized the marriage, and told him to go to Beijing for the exam next year, and prepare to get married after returning. In June, Wu Jiacheng sent someone to deliver a letter to Beijing for the exam and failed. He had already returned home to prepare for the marriage and would come to welcome the bride on the sixth of the October 20th.
Huang Qiaohong was very satisfied with this marriage. The Wu family grew up handsomely and was a juren. She had a promising future. Even if she was not good, her cousin could find an errand, which was better than her brother-in-law. As for poverty, the little girl laughed secretly. She was her father's heart. Although her father was still angry, she would not have to send her a full box of gold and silver land to the day she got married. What's more, the pocket money she had saved by her parents, aunts, cousins and others, which had already exceeded one thousand taels.
Seeing my cousin's face shy, everyone made fun of it, picked the fruit beside the tree, took a bite, and enjoyed the happiness and sweetness in the sun.
Jiang Huayan was a little confused. She was the same age as Hong'er and two months older than Hong'er. Now her cousin is about to get married, and her husband is still unknown. When she was fifteen years old, she inevitably had some imagination. Her clear eyes appeared in her mind, and her smile seemed to tease her heartstrings and trembled.
Half a month ago, a carriage carrying goods was shocked. The running horse pulled the truck forward and rushed forward. The pedestrians on the road dodged. Jiang Huayan and Hong'er and his group were walking on the way home with the picked petals. When they saw the galloping horses coming, their legs were so scared that they became weak.
A young man rushed out of the road, and actually grabbed the reins with his hands and held the galloping horse. The galloping horse's breath fell on Yan'er's face with a boiling breath. Yan'er saw the young man's eyes like a clear spring, and his eyes were fixed on his face, making his face red. The young man smiled slightly at Yan'er, said "Be careful" and left.
The terrified sisters beside them started a fancy sex trick. Huang Qiaozhen patted her bulging chest and said, "It's so dangerous, I'm scared to death. Fortunately, the young man grabbed the horse, otherwise he would be hit. The young man is so handsome and has a bright look."
Zhou Yingruo responded with a blush on her face, "He glanced at me before leaving, and my heart was beating so much now."
Hong'er's heart belonged to her, but she didn't pay attention to the young man's appearance, but said, "It should be better than Brother An Yong and Shi Tou who can hold up the galloping horse."
Zhen'er argued dissatisfiedly: "I don't think that person is just a little stronger. If he really wants to fight, he may not be Shi Tou's opponent. Shi Tou learned martial arts from Uncle Jiang, and my father praised him for his skills."
When she returned home with a panicked heart, Yan'er's thoughts were erratic and her head was filled with clear eyes. If it had been a long time, this hazy feeling would fade away. It was a heavy rain seven days ago. Yan'er and others ran to Changting to shelter from the rain and saw the young man again.
Pingshan Town became a flower town, and many tourists came to see the scenery. Wang Haiqing and Wang County Magistrate were not stupid. He knew that retaining the source of tourists was to add taxes to Xinqi County. He allocated a few silver to build many pavilions in Pingshan Town, and he also tried to collect Jiang Anyi's poems and engraved them on the rocks in the mountains, allowing scholars to seek seclusion and visit the scenery, which really attracted many people.
The Changting Pavilion was sheltering from the rain and another Changting Pavilion looked across the mountain. Zhou Yingruo pointed to the Changting Pavilion and shouted in surprise: "The young man who pulled the horse."
On the long pavilion, the young man stood on the railing with his hands behind his back. The strong wind blew his clothes, imitating the banished immortals. Amid the screams of the girls, the man jumped down, like a crane flying and disappearing in the mist and rain. His graceful figure became a hot topic for the girls in the pavilion. The heroes and the learned young masters are both characters in the deep boudoir dreams.
Jiang Huayan felt lost, her heart was slightly sweet and sour, and there seemed to be a trace of pain. The beautiful scene as dreamy made people intoxicated, but Jiang Huayan knew that it was almost impossible for a beautiful dream to become a reality. Even if her clear eyes could be reflected in her heart, she could only hide it deeply.
Bo Wang sent someone to urge Yan'er to go back. The girls speeded up and returned home in front of the house. Just as they were about to climb the steps into the house, Jiang Huayan sensed something and suddenly turned around. Under the archway of the top scholar, the clear eyes were watching him with a smile.
In Huiye City, Huazhou, the county magistrates of all 53 counties obtained the method of making honey fruits. They immediately bid farewell to the governor of Jiang and rushed back to their own county to promote it. Some people took this opportunity to contact each other and exchange experiences. For example, the county magistrates of Wuyun County and Xiushui County were eating roasted lamb, drinking wine, and talking in the elegant seat of Hongyun Hotel, the most famous Hongyun Hotel in Huiye Mansion.
Wuyun County is a big county, Xiushui County is a middle county. Wuyun County Magistrate Bai Zhiguang was originally the magistrate of Xiushui County and was promoted to Wuyun County. When Xiushui County Magistrate Ning Huahe took over the deficit, he therefore formed a fireworks relationship and had an extraordinary relationship.
Ning Huahe raised his glass and said, "My brother, I have been doing well in the past two years. I wish you a cup of Brother Bai and I would like to express my gratitude."
Bai Zhiguang smiled and said, "You push all the deficits to the bandits. This trick is so great. Brothers still have to learn from you. We brothers don't say polite words, do it."
Putting down the cup, Ning Huahe sighed: "Everyone says that Lord Jiang has a golden hand, it's true. Look at this honey fruit, it's simply a method of making gold. It's rare that Lord Jiang has given it selflessly, which really makes me sigh. Is there really such a selfless person in this world?"
"Bad, I admire Jiang Da Ren's technique of making money, but he was too circumcised. He put a lot of money out and pushed it out. He just taught the people to make honey fruits as he said. He didn't think about it. Ordinary people couldn't eat enough, so they didn't have enough money to buy clay pots, let alone buy honey. He asked me to say that he was doing a good dream, and he just woke up with nothing." Bai Zhiguang picked up the skewers of barbecue and ate it all over his mouth.
Ning Huahe was stunned and said, "Why didn't you tell the governor Jiang at that time?"
"Hahaha, the idea of governor Jiang is to dream, but I have a way to turn my dream into reality and make a big fuss."
"Oh, I'd like to hear it." Ning Hua and Bai Zhiguang filled a glass of wine. Their heads were lowered to the same place, whispering, and from time to time a depressing laugh broke out.
