Ah Le said: "What kind of gifts did the three brides give?"

Li Jia said: "The three brides all gave very special gifts to the county magistrate - the official lady gave a money bag full of silver, the rich lady sent a handwritten letter from the governor of Zhou to the county magistrate, the content of which was to invite the county magistrate to the mansion to drink the wedding wine; the poor lady gave the love poem that Xiucai gave to the county magistrate, the content of which was a poem of seven uniques. Sipa's heart is clear, and the warmth and coldness are not up to people. How much dust is brushed away, how many hot tears are wiped away. This poor bride gave her a poem, which should be regarded as the most precious gift. What's more, seeing the text inscribed by Xiucai, willow bones and Su Feng, between the lines, chic and innocent. The so-called smell is similar, I haven't read the text of temperament for a long time, and the county master feels very close and refreshing. I have the heart to sentence the poor Xiucai and the poor lady to win, but I am afraid of offending the official lady and the rich lady. Faced with a dilemma, he pondered for a while, and said, 'The three things you have given are priceless in the eyes of each of them, so the official cannot judge who gave the more precious gift, and the tie is again. 'Continue the game, ask the three brides to name the bridge, and whoever chooses the best name will cross first. ”

Miao Lin said: "This story was also heard by our family Wang Xiaofeng when he was a child, and he told it to me, but it was not as good as our Secretary Li Jia......!

Li Jia continued: "Miss Guanjia said, this time it's time for me to choose a name first - the rich man stepped on the new bridge, built a 10,000-year prison for a thousand years, and today the newcomer bridge has been on it, and it will be named Dafu Bridge from now on." After that, he looked at the rich lady very proudly. The rich lady naturally did not show weakness, and opened her mouth to say - the noble man stepped on the new bridge, built a 10,000-year prison for a thousand years, and today the newcomer has been on the bridge, and since then it has been named Dagui Bridge. The poor lady listened to it and said - everyone stepped on the new bridge, built a 10,000-year prison for a thousand years, and today the newcomer has passed on the bridge, and it has been named Fugui Bridge since then. The county magistrate was very satisfied with the answer of the poor lady, so he said-Everyone stepped on the new bridge, I think this sentence is good. When everyone is rich, it is called the bridge of wealth. Almost all people think that the name 'Fuguiqiao' is good, loud and easy to remember. The county magistrate said, 'The three young ladies don't have to fight, and they should listen to their own officials' judgments: If the official lady sends gold and silver, no matter how much money there is, she will not be born; the rich lady will not win no matter how great the power is; and the poor lady will not win if she sends her true affection, and her affection is priceless. Don't waste your energy here, delay the beautiful scenery and good days. The three newlyweds walked well and crossed the bridge in turn to get married. After marriage, I have to work harder, and I will work hard for a lifetime. In fact, the three young ladies are also knowledgeable people, and after listening to the judgment of the county magistrate, they all felt that they should not delay the time in order to fight for this succession. Everyone is humble to each other, and they all want each other to go first. ”

Ah Le said: "Sure enough, it's a folklore story, and the ending is quite perfect." Perhaps the word "Fugui" in the three words "Fugui Bridge" represents the good wishes of the people. What happened?"

Li Jia continued: "The poor lady said, 'I see that the two sisters have a lot of companions, all of them are eight shops and eight covers, four boxes and four cages. And my companion is small, only a single shop and a single cover, a single box and a single cage. Let's two sisters please first. I'll go to the end. Neither the rich lady nor the official lady refused. The official lady said, "You are the county lord who should go first, we are not good at making mistakes, or my sister should invite you first." The rich lady said, "Anyway, it is fate that everyone can get married on the same day, I have a good idea, how about the three of us worship as godsisters by the Fugui Bridge?" With the bridge as evidence, they worshipped the godsisters: the rich lady is the eldest sister, the official lady is the second sister, and the poor lady is the third sister. Because the county official is the parent official of the local government, the three of them worship the county master Li as their goddaughter. The county magistrate was very happy and gave each daughter a wedding gift. The rich lady said, 'My sister should have a decent companion when she is newly married. The single shop and single cover do seem a little shabby, since I have married my godsister, then my dowry is also my sister's, I will divide three shops and three covers from my dowry to make a dowry for my sister, right?" I also gave a box and a cage from my dowry to the third sister. The poor lady was very grateful and said, "The two sisters are kind-hearted, and the third sister will never be forgotten in this life." The water under the Fugui Bridge flows far away, and the sisterhood is not as long...... I must remember the special care of the two sisters for the little sister today, and the grace of the dripping water should be repaid with a spring. The little sister is newly married today, her mother's family is poor, and she can't afford to buy a rich dowry, although Wu Lang will not dislike it, but she always feels that it is too shabby in front of all relatives and friends, and she is worried that she will lose the face of her mother's family, and now with the generous help of her two sisters and the gift from her godfather, my sister feels that it is already very beautiful!'"

Ah Le said: "Very touching story. This county magistrate is still good. ”

Li Jia said: "Of course it's good." This county official was later Li Nanhui, a generation of clean officials who left clean deeds in the history of Pocheng City. ”

"Oh, no wonder, this story really has a story. Miao Lin said, "My husband Wang Xiaofeng didn't tell the following text, only talked about the name Fuguiqiao." ”

Li Jia said: "Actually, I haven't finished talking yet...... It is said that the three sedan chairs crossed the bridge according to the order of the sworn sisters, Sun Xiumei walked at the end, and the county master said to her, "Fugui Bridge, Fugui Bridge, this name is good." People are poor, one step back, one step forward, one step humiliation, one step glory, and the way of wealth is in it. This official is new to this place, and he needs useful talents. I see that your husband's literary skills are good, after you go back, ask him to come to the county government to find me......' Three years later, Sun Xiumei's husband taught and studied at the Fengxiang Academy sponsored by the county officials. This is the full version of the story of Fuguiqiao. ”

Brother Ma said, "Where did you hear this story?"

Li Jia said: "One of the poor people I helped was a grandmother in her eighties, and again, when I went to help her clean the courtyard at home, I chatted with her, and then I asked her, 'Why is our Qiaotai Village called Qiaotai Village?' She told me that Qiaotai Village is mainly because there is a bridge on the edge of our village, called Fugui Bridge, and there is also a Tai in our village, called Fuxitai. After my grandmother told me the origin of Fugui Bridge, I told her that I know where Fugui Bridge is, but I don't know where Fuxi Tai is...... Can you tell me?" the old woman laughed and said to me, 'Silly girl, Fu Xitai is right next to you!'"
