Lao Qin held up, and the boat left the shore and continued to travel north.

Xiucai, who took the hitchhiker, introduced himself with a smile: "The contemptible surname is Gong, this year is the fifth time I have participated in the township examination, fifteen years, fifteen years, I finally got admitted, and now I have taken your hitch boat to Beijing, and next year I will definitely go to high school, and I will definitely go to high school!" ”

Hua Qiao smiled: "That's you taking advantage of us, how can you say that we took advantage of you?" ”

"This little brother, everyone is a scholar, how can it be called taking advantage? This is called reciprocity, do you understand? From Qinghe to Shuntianfu, a boat costs about three taels of silver for tolls, but I'm a Xiucai, with me on the boat, you don't have to pay the fee! Bargain, right? ”

"Are you from Qinghe?"

"If the fake bag is exchanged, the contemptible person has never left Qinghe since he was born, and everyone in Qinghe, young and old, knows me Gong Xiucai!" Gong Xiucai's chest was slapped.

"Do you know the female corpse just now?" Hu Yanjin suddenly asked.

"Is that the girl you helped pick up? Of course I do! Not only did I know her, but I also knew his father. Gong Xiucai paused when he said this, shook his head and said:

"It's hard to talk about this matter, if you don't say it well, you'll be killed, don't say it, don't say it."

"How about we exchange this story for three meals a day on your ship for a few days?" Hua Qiao smiled. She could hear it clearly just now, Gong Xiucai was talking about two meals, and he probably didn't expect to eat three meals.

Sure enough, Gong Xiucai agreed without even thinking about it: "Change it." However, I don't eat sweets for breakfast, and my stomach can't stand it when I eat sweets......"

Xiao Gao suddenly stretched his leg next to Gong Xiucai, and pressed his knee joint expressionlessly, and Gong Xiucai was startled by him.

"That'...... The girl who threw herself into the river...... The surname is Li, and the girl's name is Xiaoqing. His father was originally a Huai'an garrison, named Li Xiaoxian. After Emperor Yongle ascended to the throne, Li Shoubei swore to die and refused to return to Yongle, and the emperor sent troops to confiscate his military power, and also wiped out his family......"

Hu Yanjin couldn't help clenching his fists: It was also at that time, the year he was born, the sword and sword, the fire, and the wail, all of this was so similar to his family's experience! It turned out that this Miss Li, who threw herself into the river, was also a descendant of the so-called traitors, like herself......

Gong Xiucai saw the fierceness in Hu Yanjin's eyes, and then looked at Xiao Gao's feet stretched out next to his buttocks, but he didn't know whether he should continue to talk.

"Li Shoubei's family is really miserable, one person is at fault, why should the whole family be killed? ...... So how did this Miss Li escape this catastrophe? Hua Qiao asked sympathetically.

Li Xiaoqing was only five years old at the time, and was taken by her aunt to play at her grandmother's house, but she escaped being killed. Li Shoubei's family is left with this one living mouth.

After the incident, her aunt left her at Qinghe's grandmother's house and was raised by her uncle. Although they are relatives, but after all, they are under the fence, Miss Li was a pampered noblewoman, and only she knows the grievances. ”

"This Miss Li has a skill that makes us men ashamed of ourselves. She reads poetry and books to the fullest, never forgets it, and the poems she writes are also a must in Qinghe, and she is a famous talented woman in Qinghe. Later, a Pan Xiu in Taoyuan fell in love with her, and the two wrote poems and couplets, and they fell in love. Pan Xiucai came to the door to ask for marriage, and Miss Li's grandmother gave him the little green girl. ”

"Isn't that great? Lovers eventually become married. Hua Qiao asked puzzled.

"Alas! The bad thing is in Miss Li's identity, how to say that she is the daughter of a criminal minister, although everyone knows that Li Shoubei is a loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty, but the court did not give him a correct name, and Miss Li will naturally be affected. ”

"But she was only five years old at the time, and even if her father did, she shouldn't have to carry it!"

"Five? Even the baby in swaddling clothes can't escape, and even if he escapes, he will live under the trumped-up charges of his father for the rest of his life! Hu Yanjin said in a deep voice.

He is talking about himself, since he was a child, he followed his father to hide in Tibet, in the mountains of Yunnan, he had a fever and no medicine to take, and he almost died.

"Isn't that? For this reason, Miss Li could only be a concubine when she married into the Pan family, and it was okay at first, but she endured her mother-in-law's embarrassment. But Mrs. Houjin was a jealous woman, and she couldn't tolerate Pan Xiucai's love for Li Xiaoqing, so she tried every means to torture her. I heard that Miss Li was pregnant, and she was also injected with abortion pills, and she almost couldn't even save her adult life. ”

Hua Qiao couldn't listen to it anymore, and asked angrily, "What about Pan Xiucai?" He asked for a marriage, why didn't he protect him? ”

"Da Ming Law only protects his wife, how can he protect his concubine? The concubine is a subordinate, and the wife is still her master. What's more, Mrs. Pan's family is rich, and the Yue family has helped the Pan family a lot, how dare Pan Xiucai speak out? The old lady also helped to beat and scold Miss Li.

Miss Li searched for death and life three or two times, which made everyone in Taoyuan County know, and our Qinghe County naturally spread it all over the place. The Pan family thought she was embarrassed, so they let her move to the old house by herself, and there was no one who served her......"

"So...... This time, she has to be relieved? A good flower, but it fell into the mud! Hua Qiao said slowly. Even Xiao Gao could hear the loss in her tone.

Hu Yanjin was distressed, and he didn't care about the people next to him, just took her hand over and held it in his palm, the warmth of his palm, like a bubbling warm stream, poured into Hua Qiao's palm, and with the blood flowing all over every inch of skin, warming Hua Qiao's heart.

Yes, my brother is sincere to me.

She turned her face and smiled knowingly at him.

Gong Xiucai couldn't help but shudder: Yay? …… What kind of world is this? I have long heard that the style of good men in Nandu is prevalent, but I don't know that I have been so brazen...... Although I have five out of thirty, I am a showman, in case I am taken by a man, how can I have the face to come back to see my wife......

He suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Gao's long legs, and looked down the legs, Xiao Gao was leaning against the boat's shed and closing his eyes to recuperate...... Eh, Mom...... Isn't he......

"Don't want your eyes anymore?" Xiao Gao said coldly and took his leg back.

"No, it's not ......"

Gong Xiucai felt a little like he was on a thief ship, and quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After a while, there was a noise outside, and Lao Qin probed in to find the flag, and said casually: "It's time to pass the gate." ”

Gong Xiucai, who was in a fake sleep, laughed secretly in his heart: Murder me? Now it's time to beg me to open my eyes, right? Please, and I will save you money!"

He was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed, and no one came to call him. When they opened their eyes, they saw that their boat had not even stopped, and had already passed the gate hundreds of feet away.

"Huh? Why doesn't the boat have to stop to pay? I haven't shown them the paperwork yet, so why did I let them go? ”

Lao Qin laughed and said, "We are the fourth-grade official master, why do you want your broken certificate?" ”

Gong Xiucai was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

If the official takes a fancy to me......

Get out!
