Chapter 104: The Bride Who Jumped into the Yellow River (1)
Zhang Lingyu and the others felt strange when they saw the bride walking out of the sedan chair and throwing a red hijab. Tong Yunfei said: "Big brother, you see this bride running towards the river, she doesn't want to jump into the river." Lingyu said: "It is very likely, it is difficult to force a marriage." Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, don't you want to save him quickly, it looks like you really want to jump into the river." Lingyu said: "Let the second brother show it this time." Hearing this, Tong Yunfei hurriedly jumped out from the horse, started a light gong and galloped away, just arrived at the bride has jumped down, Tong Yunfei stretched out his hand and did not catch it, the bride fell into the rolling river.
Zhang Lingyu saw that Tong Yunfei didn't catch the bride, so he hurriedly jumped from the horse like a big bird from the top of Tong Yunfei's head and grabbed the bride, but he was still a step slower, seeing the bride fall into the water, Lingyu rushed into the water and grabbed the bride's arm, jumped out of the water with a shake, and flew off the shore with a twist, jumped to the shore at a little on the shore, and put the bride on the ground. The bride sat on the floor and coughed a few times but did not spit out the water, because she had not drunk much water because of the short time she had been in the water. The bride coughed a few times and cried: 'You want to save me, can't I die if I want to, God, you are too unfair.' ’
Zhang Lingyu saw the bride's painful cry and comforted: "As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live, if you have any grievances, maybe we can help you." The bride cried and secretly said: "This person can easily save himself from the waves of the Yellow River, it seems that he must be a hero, I heard that these heroes are in addition to helping the weak and saving people and in danger, if I say my hardships, maybe they can really help me." Then the crowd gathered around. Chang Yue'e: They also came over. Ma Junlan said: "Why should the girl be short-sighted. Is someone forcing you to marry, you say it and we will call the shots for you. The bride wept and looked at these handsome men and women, richly dressed, and thought to herself that they must not be ordinary young ladies and young women, but fortunately she could really help.
The bride stopped crying and said, 'They forced me to marry a fool, and the thought of living with a fool for the rest of my life would be better than dying.' Ma Junlan said angrily: "Who is so domineering, is there no royal law?" Then the matchmaker stepped forward and said, "The dowry was given when the betrothal was made." Now that I have given a bride price when I got married, there is a media and a certificate, so how can I force it. The bride said, "If you don't want my parents to give a dowry, they will ask someone to beat my brother and take him to the class, and if he doesn't agree, he won't let him go, and my parents have no choice but to agree to this family affair." The matchmaker said, 'You are talking nonsense. ’
The bride said, 'Then you can call my parents to testify, or you can go to Jinan Mansion to inquire.' The matchmaker said viciously, "You want to take revenge, your husband's family spent a lot of money to get your brother out, and you still say such things." Aren't you ungrateful. The bride said, 'My brother was beaten by them for no reason, and they bought the governor to lock him up.' Then he came to force my parents to promise this marriage. At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward and said: "Your family has received the bride price, and now you want to regret it, you can't say where you go, no one can save you, you just pay back the bride price money and the money that our owner took care of for your brother in the management house, and the owner may not let you go."
Zhang Lingyu said: 'Who is your owner's surname and where does your family live? The housekeeper raised his head and said: "Our owner is not far from Gaojiazhuang, and it is a famous family in this area. Lingyu said, "How much money your host spent, I will compensate him, and you will let this girl go." The butler said, 'I can't be the master of this.' Lingyu said: "Then we will go to the mansion to find the prefect to call the shots." The housekeeper secretly said: "I see that you are all like people in the rivers and lakes, I am really afraid that you will do it now, since you want to see the government, I can't ask for it." So he said, 'That's the best.' ’
The bride said: "Childe, don't go to the mansion with them, the slave family will accept their fate whether they are dead or alive, I don't want to cause trouble to the son." Lingyu deliberately said: "How to say this, we just go to reason with them, how can we invite disaster." The bride said: "The Gao family has already bought the official mansion, where is there any reason." Lingyu said: "Don't be afraid, girl, I have my own way to let the prefect handle it impartially." Tong Yunfei said: "Big brother, if we go to Jinan Mansion, we still have to go back, it won't delay time, so it won't be easy to take the girl away." Lingyu said: "You can't save the trouble if you should be troublesome, we have to forcibly take the girl away, Gao Yuanwai will definitely sue the government, and the government will send arrests to hunt us down, and we will face the government as well, so we will be passive." Tong Yunfei said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, then we will go back to Jinan Mansion." ’
Zhang Lingyu said: "Housekeeper, you go back and tell Gao Yuanwai, the girl stays, and we will see you in Jinan Mansion." The steward said angrily, 'Let us go.' After speaking, he left with the welcoming team, and Lingyu said: "The one who carries the sedan chair stays, and the girl still has to take the sedan chair." The bride said, "It's okay for the slave to walk." Lingyu said: "It's better to take a sedan chair." Ma Junlan said: "Don't sit in vain, don't sit, don't worry, my eldest brother will be able to rescue you." ’
If in the past, the housekeeper would have called the thugs to teach them a lesson, today I saw Lingyu and they rode horses with swords, just now to save people is extraordinary, it seems that they are all masters of the rivers and lakes, for fear of provoking the people of the rivers and lakes to attract the disaster of killing, they know that the people of the rivers and lakes are killing people without blinking in a fit of anger, so they have been swallowing their anger and reasoning, listening to Zhang Lingyu said that they would leave the sedan chair and did not dare to disobey, leaving two sedan chairs, and the rest of the people went with him.
Ma Junlan asked the bride, "Girl, where do you live?" The bride said: "The slave family is from Zhao Jiatun, his father is Zhao Laogen, and the slave family is called Zhao Shuye, nicknamed Yezi." Ma Junlan said: "Miss Ye, let's go to Jinan Mansion to reason with you." After speaking, she brought the Ye girl to the sedan chair and got into the sedan chair, Ma Junlan said to the two young sedan chair drivers: "Two big brothers, go to Jinan Mansion." ’
One of the sedan chairmen said: "I think it's better for you not to go to Jinan Mansion, see that you are all good people, I really can't bear to let you attract trouble, it's best to take the opportunity to leave here quickly, the relationship between Gao Yuanwai and the prefect is really not ordinary." Lingyu said: "Xiexie, you care, we have our own way to deal with these corrupt officials." After speaking, he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Jiaofu and said, "It's hard work for the two big brothers." Jiaofu said: "The Gao family has already paid for it, how can I ask for your money again." Lingyu said: "Originally, as long as it was carried to Gaojiazhuang, now it has to be carried to Jinan Mansion." The sedan chair man said: "If you can really save Miss Zhao, don't say that you can carry it to Jinan Mansion, even if you carry it to Beijing City, we are willing." ’
Lingyu said: "Xiexie two support, you better accept the silver." After saying that, he gave them the silver, and the two of them collected the silver and lifted the sedan chair and went straight to Jinan Mansion (to be continued......
