Chapter 78
Beauty Falls into the River
Everyone was very happy to see him eating meat and drinking wine. They couldn't help but smile. Only Huang Shiyun looked at the fishing boats on the river and didn't know what they were thinking.
Mrs. Ji was not in a hurry to announce the question, but just looked at Xiao Jiading with a smile.
Jiang Chengqian is also a drunkard. Seeing that Xiao Jiading was eating well, he said, "Let's drink too."
When Xiao Jiading heard that someone was drinking with him, he was naturally happy and immediately pulled him to drink together. Suddenly, the atmosphere became lively.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Mrs. Ji asked the question. It was still limited to a stick of incense. The stick of incense was about half an hour. Xiao Jiading drank a pot of wine, squinted his drunken eyes and said to Du Erniu: "Call me before the burn is almost done. I'll sleep for a while." Then he lay on the grass and fell asleep.
Seeing that he was asleep quickly and was snoring slightly, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Even Huang Shiyun glanced at him and turned her head to look at the river view. However, early this morning, everyone knew that last night, Xiao Family Ding, under the order of the magistrate of Kang County, took almost everyone from the yamen to arrest Deng Quansheng, a corrupt county magistrate who was preparing to transfer the stolen money, and had already handed over to the Censor for handling. He did not sleep all night, so everyone allowed him to do so.
Because Mrs. Ji had already told Du Erniu about the title in advance, and Xiao Jiading had already written it for her. So she was not worried or disturbed Xiao Jiading's sleep, but just sat beside him and pretended to be deep and thoughtful.
Next, Huang Shiyun and the others thought about the poem and wrote it on the paper. Seeing that they had almost finished writing, Du Erniu went to write his own. Of course, the poem Xiao Jiading helped her copy won praise from everyone. After reading it, Tang Rongxuan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. Fortunately, he did not provoke a war against Du Erniu, otherwise, he would have been afraid that he would die very ugly.
Seeing that the incense stick was almost burned, Du Erniu woke up Xiao Jiading.
Xiao Jiading rubbed his eyes, walked over, picked up his pen and wrote, and waved it. Then he said to Du Erniu: "I'm the same as before, I'll wake me up when I'm almost finished burning, and then I'll tell me the topic." He lay down and then fell asleep.
I just finished burning the topic and talked about it. Isn’t this crazy? However, these people all know that Xiao Jiading once became a poem in public and defeated Zhong Wenbo, the number one talent in Yizhou. People have the capital to be so crazy. Seeing Xiao Jiading’s poems, they were also top-notch, and they felt that they were comparable to Du Erniu. The two won the top two, Huang Shiyun was third, Tang Rongxuan was fourth, and Jiang Chengqian was finally punished to drink a lot.
Next, several questions were published in succession. Xiao Jiading was awakened by Du Erniu at the last moment. After pondering for a moment, he wrote a poem. They were all excellent top-quality poems, which were not only amazing.
Until the Rixixi Mountain, Xiao Jiading stopped sleeping. He walked to the riverside, scooped up the cool river water and washed his face. He stretched his waist long and said: "It's so comfortable!" He looked at the fishing boat on the river and suddenly said: "Let's row the boat? Wouldn't it be more romantic to recite poems on the river?"
Du Erniu and Che Yue'e, Dong Cainiang immediately applauded. Jiang Chengqian was already at the bottom of the day and was a little drunk after drinking. He was about to get on the boat and blew the wind on the river, so he agreed. Mrs. Ji also said it was OK, so Cheng Geng shouted at the top of the river to come over, and they wanted to rent a boat.
So several fishing boats came soon. After the price was negotiated, they boarded the boats separately. Because the fishing boats were small, they were divided into two groups. Du Erniu saw that one of them was an old woman, so she pulled Huang Shiyun with her beloved Huang Shiyun with the other hand and Xiao Family Ding with the other hand. Dong Cainiang and Che Yue'e also followed this boat. The remaining three men, Mrs. Ji and Tang Rongxuan, had to board another one. So, Xiao Family Ding had to board one man and four women, and an old woman fishing.
The fisherman rowed a boat to the middle of the river. When he arrived at the middle of the river, he watched the sunset, and the river surface was sparkling, full of poetry and painting.
Du Erniu took off her shoes and socks, sat by the boat, stretched her feet into the water, cool and comfortable, and couldn't help but shout, "It feels so comfortable! Sister Huang, Sister Che, Sister Dong, you guys put your feet in too!"
Che Yue'e was about to take off her, but when she saw Tang Rongxuan and the others' boats beside her, she was embarrassed to take off her shoes and socks in front of several young men, and said angrily: "Hey! Don't follow us! Let's go away!"
Tang Rongxuan and others saw Du Erniu's chubby little feet reaching into the river water and fiddling with the river water. They were embarrassed to look at it, so they quickly ordered the fisherman to row the boat.
Seeing that their boat was far away, Che Yue'e and Dong Cainiang looked at each other, then shyly looked at Xiao Jiading. Seeing that he was tilting his head to look at the scenery on the other side, he didn't look at them, so he giggled, took off his shoes and socks quickly, and put his feet into the river.
I'm tired of watching bikinis on the modern beach, and I still care about my little feet? The barefoot action, which is a normal move for modern people, is very bold and open to ancient women. So after doing this move, the two women's pretty faces turned into big red cloth, giggling to hide their shyness.
Du Erniu took Huang Shijun's arm beside her and said, "Sister Huang, you take it off too! It's so comfortable."
Huang Shijun hesitated for a moment and quickly looked at Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading was sitting in the middle of the boat, but he looked to the river bank with his face sideways, without looking at them. After Du Erniu repeatedly urging her, she took off her shoes and soaked in the water. It was indeed very comfortable.
From the corner of Xiao Jiading's eyes, he saw four girls sitting at the bow of the boat, barefoot, two of them laughing. The scenery was very beautiful, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After playing with water for a while, Du Erniu had a sudden idea and said, "Let's go learn how to row?"
Dong Cainiang and Che Yue'e immediately agreed. Huang Shiyun glanced at Xiao Jiading sitting in the middle of the boat, but didn't say anything. So Du Erniu forced her to pull her, stepped on the shaking boat, and walked shyly by Xiao Jiading.
With pairs of little feet passing by in front of him, he found that Huang Shiyun's whitest, smallest and cute.
Du Erniu walked at the end, but stopped in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother! Don't sit stupidly, come and row the boat!"
"You are all behind, the boat will capsize, I'll help you balance it."
Du Erniu looked at the stern of the boat and had indeed sunk a lot, and the bow of the boat was raised, and then said, "Then I can't go there first. Come one by one."
Che Yue'e said to the old woman who rowed the oars: "Hey! Boater, give me the oars! I want to row!"
When Xiao Jiading heard this, his brows frowned slightly and shook his head. It seems that the children of officials are so contemptuous of the people and speak so badly. This sense of superiority of rank is a common problem, not only Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan.
The old woman rowing the oar quickly let go of the oar in her hand and took a step back. Because of her nervousness, she accidentally bumped into Huang Shiyun standing behind her. She knocked Huang Shiyun so hard that she sat on the board. When the old woman rowing the oar saw that she was in trouble, she was so scared that she trembled all over. She bowed unsteadily and said sorry, and wanted to reach out to pull her, but she didn't dare.
After Huang Shiyun was hit by the old woman, the lady's temper naturally rose. Her face changed and she wanted to scold her. But immediately, the disgusting look of Xiao Jiading looking at her appeared in front of her. Immediately, her anger dissipated. She smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, mother-in-law!" After that, she reached out to the old woman.
The old woman could not have thought that she would let herself, a fisherman with thick hands and feet, quickly wiped her hands on her clothes, reached over and helped Huang Shiyun up.
After Huang Shiyun let go of the old woman, she saw her palms covered with blue veins, like earthworms crawling on it, and like dry pine bark, rough and weird. Huang Shiyun felt disgusted. She instinctively wiped her hand on her dress.
This action fell into the eyes of Xiao Jiading, who was sitting in the middle of the boat, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The country is easy to change, but his nature is difficult to change! Huang Shiyun wanted to pretend to be a normal mind for the poor people, but she finally showed her strength.
Huang Shiyun saw the sneer on the corner of Xiao Jiading's mouth, and her pretty face immediately turned paler and she lowered her head.
At this time, Che Yue'e had already taken the oars and started to roam. She couldn't row the boat, so she naturally didn't know how to roam, so she could only roam around. So the boat was circling around the middle of the river, causing Du Erniu and Dong Cainiang to laugh.
When Dong Cainiang saw that she was rowing for fun, she went over to snatch the oars from her, but Che Yue'e refused to let go. While the two were fighting, Dong Cainiang was hit and Wang fell out of the boat. Huang Shiyun, who was beside her, quickly reached out and grabbed her hand. She pulled her hard in fright. She stopped, but pulled Huang Shiyun out of the boat and fell into the river with a thud.
Huang Shiyun couldn't do water, and when she got into the water, she sank down with her hands. She screamed, but she drank several sips of river water. Everyone on the boat exclaimed, and the old fisherman jumped into the water without thinking, and reached out to grab Huang Shiyun. Unexpectedly, Huang Shiyun was frightened and would not let go when she grabbed the thing. She hugged the old fisherman tightly and hugged the old fisherman's hands. The old fisherman could not break free from the desperate hug, because the old fisherman could not use his hands to ski, and the strength of his feet to step on the water was not enough to support the weight of the two people, so they began to sink together!
Du Erniu and others were so scared that they screamed in shock, but because they took off their shoes and socks and barefoot, not only did Tang Rongxuan and his boat avoid it from afar, but the fishermen of other fishing boats also quickly rowed the fishing boats, all of which were very far away. When they heard their screams, they wanted to row over to rescue them, but they were afraid it would be too late.
When Huang Shiyun fell into the water, Xiao Jiading stood up, the old fisherman jumped into the water to save people, and Xiao Jiading had already rushed to the stern of the boat. However, due to the random struggle and the flow of the river, the two had already left the side of the boat, and Xiao Jiading could not reach them.
Although Xiao Jiading can have a little water, it is only limited to basic dog padding, which can barely prevent himself from sinking. If he is asked to jump down to save people, and if two people are hugging each other, he will definitely drag him down together.
He would not sacrifice his life to save people, even though he was full of respect for such a person from the bottom of his heart.
