Chapter 51: The Jade Belt River
readx; "Oh, I have a good friend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info She is from the Ge family in a small mountain village, I once heard her say, there is an aunt, the name of the girl is called Qingya. So I wanted to ask for clarification, and when I got back, I would talk to her. Chunhua said.
Although they are relatives, they have never met. Who knows what Ge Qingya's character is, and rashly confessed to his relatives, for fear that he would cause trouble. Moreover, judging from Liu Minghua's unobtrusive personality, the mother and son are afraid that it will be a trouble.
"So, what's your friend's name? How is life good now? Are the elderly in the family healthy? Ge Qingya took two steps forward and asked.
"In this world now, how can there be a good life, her name is Ge Chunhua, and the life of the family is worthy of living. There is only one old grandmother left in the family, her mother-in-law, a sick uncle, and four younger sisters. Chunhua said, "I've finished answering your question, what about my question?" However, if you asked, I guess you are my friend's aunt. ”
Ge Qingya pulled out a chair and sat down, and Chunhua could see the exhaustion on her face.
Liu Minghua had already laid down on the bed, and his legs really couldn't stand the toss. Ge Qingya took him a book to look at, he didn't know what was happening outside, even if he could hear some sounds, he didn't care about these little things.
"I did come from a small mountain village, and back then, I disregarded my parents' orders and insisted on marrying a merchant who traveled from south to north." Ge Qingya talked about the past, "At the beginning, life was quite smooth. Traveling around the world, the money I earned gradually increased. My husband and I just want to go back to our roots. ”
"The caravan traveled to the boundary of the Hulu Mountains and was robbed by bandits. Fortunately, the bandits don't kill people as long as they have money. I didn't want my parents to see me like this, so my husband and I put down roots in Sioux City. ”
"I hid some jewelry and sold it for money, my husband opened a grocery store, and I went to the embroidery shop. Minghua wants to study, he is capable, and he worships under Mr. Wang's door, and he spends a lot of money. I haven't saved any money over the years, so I haven't returned to my hometown. ”
Chunhua kind of understood.
Ge Qingya is actually the same as Xia He.
The most important thing is face, since he has chosen his own husband, he looks forward to a good life in the future and proves that he is right. This is good, at least it has to be better than the landlords in the township.
Hmph, because of the argument, he was reluctant to see his parents and didn't hear from his family.
Also, there is a lot of money for what bunch, and Chunhua also knows that the reader is expensive. Although she has never heard of Mr. Wang's name, it is worth Ge Qingya's special words, it should be very famous. But the scholars are also noble, and the famous gentlemen do not charge much for the bundle fee.
Looking at Liu Minghua's style, I don't know how to read, but the problem of the reader is that he has learned ten out of ten, and he plays and drinks with his classmates, and this money is the big head.
"I ask someone to send something back every year, but I haven't replied, I thought ......" Ge Qingya seemed to be a little choked, "I thought that my parents didn't want to see me as an unfilial daughter anymore." ”
"I didn't expect them to mention me to the juniors."
I didn't know there was such a play. Chunhua has a slight impression of Ge Qingya.
"Well, don't talk about it." Ge Qingya said, "You said that you know a doctor who can cure Minghua's leg, but I don't know where that doctor is?" ”
"In Fengcheng. It's not good to look at your son-in-law's appearance, so you have to invite the doctor. Chunhua said.
The person Chunhua said was naturally Dr. Hao, although I don't know what his specific medical skills were, but there was a basis for the imperial doctor's statement. If it is cured, it is good, but if it is not cured, it can only be that Liu Minghua's life is not good.
"You saw this girl, too. My family is just me and my son, and my son has to be taken care of, and he can't do without me...... Can you help me get the doctor? Ge Qingya pleaded.
Ge Qingya is the elder of Chunhua, and let the elders make this gesture, Chunhua is a little unbearable.
"Don't say that, you're my friend's elder, and you're my elder. I'll help you out, but I'm afraid the medical expenses will be a lot. Chunhua said.
"I can still pay for the medical expenses." Ge Qingya said.
Seeing that Ge Qingya was not cramped, Chunhua believed Ge Qingya's words. She must have hidden money in her house.
It's just that I don't know if she goes out to do things, whether she is afraid of leaking money, or whether she just wants to use the money on Liu Minghua and eats bran by herself.
The big boat between Sioux City and Fengcheng is twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. In the afternoon, the boat travels slowly, and the river surface is not clear in the evening, so it is generally not possible to arrive the next morning.
Chunhua didn't stay at Ge Qingya's house for long, so she rushed to the morning and afternoon boats.
…………
After the people left, Ge Qingya returned to her house, opened an old box, and took out all the clothes inside. Pull off the hairpin on your head and lift the plank underneath.
It's gold.
Ge Qingya trembled and touched the gold, this time she had to use it.
It was Old Man Ge who gave her the gold at the beginning, and she thought she wouldn't use it.
…………
Chunhua got on the big boat as she wished and shared a room with Aunt Cao.
There are more than a dozen rooms under the big ship, which are not full.
Food was also provided on board. A bowl of rice, a bowl of fish stewed tofu, and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables.
The cooking is not excellent, but the fresh fish in the river is better than the freshness, and the taste is different.
The big boat is not ordinary, although it is still a little shaky, but the spring flowers can finally adapt.
Before it was completely dark, Chunhua and Aunt Cao went to the deck to watch the scenery.
The wind was a little strong, and there was a slight fishy smell on the deck.
The sunset is full of sky, printed on the surface of the river, and it is beautiful.
"I've heard people tell the legend of the river." Aunt Cao works a lot and talks a lot. When Chunhua stays with her, she often has a headache.
"Listen to whom?" Chunhua smiled, "How many stories have you heard when you go out with me." ”
"Hey, hey." Aunt Cao laughed a few times and told the story she had heard.
This river is called Yudai River.
In the previous dynasty, an official named Gong Yu dug up the river.
That's the official rhetoric.
In folklore, Gong Yu is not a good person, he is actually a bandit in the gourd mountain, afraid that the gold and silver treasures he stole will be searched by the people of the court and China as evidence, so he sank the treasure into the river.
This legend is very untenable, not to mention that the treasure will sink into the river, why should the river be dug wide and wide? Speaking of Hulu Mountain alone, there were bandits in the previous dynasty?
I think it was because the bandits in Hulu Mountain were becoming more and more rampant, and the people were afraid, so they brought everything to the shadow of the bandits.
Didn't the court say that it would suppress the bandits a long time ago, and I heard that only one bandit leader was recruited, and everyone else was still at large.
