After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad
Chapter 50: The lion opens its mouth wide?
The covered boat sailed along the Huimin River and passed smoothly through the first bridge, the Yinan Bridge, and was about to pass through the Guangli Water Gate and out of the city.
The boatman was worried: "Mr. Su, do you want to continue forward?"
Su Xuanming pulled his outer robe closer, his lips turned slightly pale due to the cold.
He glanced at Su Yunting beside him and advised: "Second brother, you are not in good health, you should go back first. The Huimin River is wide and long, and we don't know how long we will have to take the boat."
Su Yunting put his hands into his sleeves and said tremblingly: "We share happiness and difficulties. I will go with you."
Su Xuanming and Jiang Guanghai sat down at the door at the same time, trying their best to block the cold wind for Su Yunting.
When we were passing through Guangli Water Gate, a curious person asked loudly from behind: "Are you going out of the city?"
Su Xuanming stood up and said loudly, "Yes! Go back and don't follow me."
The busybody shook his head firmly: "No! A group of people are still waiting for my news. Even if you go to the North Sea or the South Sea, I will follow you!"
Once the boat left the water gate, the river banks were no longer as bustling as those in the city.
Looking up, I saw a few low houses scattered on the withered and yellow fields, lying on the ground like beetles.
Although there is only a city wall separating the city, the inside and outside of the city have become two different worlds.
"There are many farmhouses and gardens in the southern suburbs of Beijing. Among them, the most prosperous one is Mengjia Yongcui Villa." The boatman felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he began to introduce.
"The Meng family? Is that the Meng family that is rumored to be a family of great virtue?" Su Xuanming had heard Jingniang mention it before.
The boatman said, "It's his family! The Meng family has set up several orphanages and adopted many orphans. Such good deeds are widely praised by the villagers."
We chatted along the way as the boat drifted downstream, getting farther and farther away from Kyoto.
Looking back, the majestic Kyoto has become a small black dot in the distance and cannot be seen clearly.
Behind them, there were originally as many covered boats as crucian carp, but only two or three sparse ones remained, following them stubbornly.
"Gentlemen, the Four Mile Bridge is ahead. After crossing this bridge, there will be another one about eighty miles away."
The boatman looked at the sky, which gradually became gloomy. It was winter, and they couldn't spend the night outside without any supplies!
"Gentlemen, shall we go back to the city? This Sili Bridge was built with funds from the Meng family. It is strong and wide. It can't stop us."
The busybodies were also shouting, "Mr. Su! Let's go home! Maybe you misunderstood the Marquis's intention!"
Everyone looked at Su Xuanming.
Su Xuanming clung tightly to the side of the boat, looking solemnly at the winding river.
This river has no bottom in sight.
"Let's go to Sili Bridge and see. If that doesn't work, let's go back to the city!"
The boatman sighed and rowed faster.
The curious people had to follow up: "This Mr. Su will not turn back until he hits the wall. This Sili Bridge is so tall and indestructible, how could it be possible..."
Before he could finish his words, the eyes of the curious people almost popped out of their sockets: "How could it be?! How could the bridge collapse?!"
A stone arch bridge suddenly collapsed in full view of everyone.
Because everyone was far away, they were not affected. Only the waves caused by the huge rock falling into the water made the boat sway from side to side.
Su Xuanming held onto the side of the boat tightly and laughed loudly: "It's here! Mother is right! It's here!"
When the waves gradually died down, the boatman found a slightly flatter place and anchored.
"Boatman, you wait here. We'll be back soon." Su Xuanming did not dare to spend the night in the wilderness, so he gave repeated instructions.
The boatman had already been frightened by the noise at Sili Bridge and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"
Su Xuanming looked around and saw a field that had been harvested.
Not far away there was a shabby yard surrounded by a fence.
The wooden door, which was less than half a person's height, collapsed in half and hung crookedly at the door.
It looked like no one had lived there for a long time.
In the bleak northwest wind, the wooden door made a creepy creaking sound.
"This..." Chen Yixuan swallowed his saliva. Is it really possible to build a college in this place?
Su Xuanming strode towards the courtyard, and the others followed him after hesitating for a moment.
"Is anyone home?" Su Xuanming stopped in front of the wooden door and greeted loudly.
There was dead silence all around.
Su Yunting leaned against the fence and jumped into the courtyard. He poked his head into the house through the window without a screen and said, "Brother, there is no one in the house."
After saying that, Su Yunting pushed open the wooden door.
The old wooden door fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the dust flew all over Su Yunting's face.
Su Yunting frowned, covered his nose, walked around the room, and ran out coughing: "No one lives in this room. The room is empty, there is not even a bed board! Tsk tsk, even if a mouse comes, it will have to go back empty-handed."
The excited young men fell silent for a moment.
Could it be that I have found the wrong place?
"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?!" An old farmer with a slightly hunchback, messy beard and wrinkles on his face looked at everyone warily.
Su Xuanming clasped his fists and bowed to the old farmer: "Old man, are you the owner of this small yard? We want to rent this yard."
The old farmer waved his hoe and drove the crowd away: "Get lost! Don't go too far! I was fooled once, can I be fooled a second time?!"
The old farmer looked old, but he wielded the hoe with great force. Even Chen Yixuan and others who were used to fighting in groups did not dare to challenge him.
"We are not liars! I am Chen Yixuan, the son of the Shaoqing family of the Guanglu Temple!"
The old farmer sneered, but did not stop: "Today, even if you are the king of heaven, I will not rent this yard to you!"
Li Mingde was nearly hit on the foot by the hoe, but he couldn't hit anyone, so he felt extremely aggrieved: "How can you be so unreasonable, old man?! Do you know who my godmother is?"
"Oh, even if your godmother is the queen, I am not afraid!" After all, the old farmer is old, and his physical strength cannot keep up with this group of monkeys. He is so tired that he stops where he is, panting.
Chen Yixuan shouted: "My godmother is the wife of the Yongchang Marquis!"
The old farmer's expression eased after hearing this, but he couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang?"
Li Mingde pulled Su Xuanming and Su Yunting over and said, "These are the eldest and second sons of the Yongchang Marquis's residence."
The old farmer looked at Su Xuanming, who looked like the landlord's stupid son, and Su Yunting, who looked like a weak chicken, and believed it a little: "For the sake of the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, although I can't rent this courtyard to you, I can sell it to you. Including the surrounding 60 acres of farmland, a total of 600 taels, no bargaining!"
At this time, the curious also rushed over and said in surprise: "You old farmer, you are so ignorant! The first-class farmland is only 3 taels per mu, even in the suburbs of Beijing, it will not exceed 5 taels per mu!"
"Just 60 acres of farmland and a shabby yard, and you dare to ask for 600 taels! Why don't you just rob it?!"
The old farmer stiffened his neck and said, "Do you want it or not? If it weren't for the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, I wouldn't sell it even if you offered 1000 taels!"
