Chapter 47: Outing

(Sanjiang tickets are in urgent need, please vote for support!)

The great river goes eastward, the waves are swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages...

The vast waters of Jianjiang River run across the north and south, like a giant dragon flying, and finally, with astonishing momentum, it roars and pours into the sea.

Jianjiang Beach is actually a river beach naturally formed at the bend of the river. There is a huge banyan tree growing on the beach, towering into the sky, with roots and branches spreading down, looking like a small forest.

There are hundreds of birds living in groups in the forest. Every spring and summer, the birds are singing and it is very lively. It is simply a paradise for birds.

Under the shade of the banyan tree, there are lush green grasses, yet it doesn't appear damp or dark. It's very strange. It's really a fascinating tourist attraction.

It is said that this banyan tree is more than 900 years old and possesses spiritual power, so it is worshiped as a "sacred tree" by some caring people——

This sacred tree controls marriage and can pull the red thread.

This is well-founded. Don’t you see that the roots of the banyan tree are clearly defined and inextricably linked? Just like the red thread in the hand of Yue Lao in the legend.

A sacred tree that can bring about marriage is enough to attract many faithful men and women to kneel down and worship. Over time, someone took the lead in raising funds to build a tree temple under the tree, and arranged for a temple blessing to preside over it to sell incense and wishing bags.

To make a living, business is booming.

It has become a custom for tourists to come to Jianjiang Beach to worship in front of the tree temple and kneel down to pray and make wishes.

Now, many students from Minghua Academy and Qingxue Academy have bought incense, paper candles, and worshiped the rather crudely carved tree god statue devoutly. Among them, even a few gentlemen participated.

——This outing is a social outing between Minghua College and Qingxue College. However, the two parties did not come together. Instead, they agreed on a meeting place and time. They met again at Jianjiang Beach, and then held poetry exchanges, quizzes and other social exchange activities.

.

The students from Qingxue Academy arrived first, there were more than fifty in total, and all of them were girls in their twenties and eighties - after all, how could a woman of marriageable age still stay in the academy to study?

These girls, who were usually so suffocated in the academy, came out once in a while that they started chirping, which was a bit more noisy than the birds on the banyan tree.

Seeing so many unmarried girls from Yunying at once, Wang Fu's eyes were a bit straight, and his eyes were peeping. Unfortunately, due to etiquette, the faces of the other girls were covered with veils, and they couldn't see their true faces clearly.

Even Nie Xiaoqian couldn't recognize it.

When the two parties got together, you immediately bowed to me and said hello to me, and behaved politely.

Most of the scholars at Minghua Academy were older and basically had families. It was obvious at first glance. So the girls' eyes quickly focused on these two people.

Mr. Wu Wencai from Yushu Linfeng is naturally the most eye-catching one; the other one is Chen Jianchen.

Chen Jianchen has a tall body and sharp eyebrows. Compared with Wu Wencai's handsomeness, his heroic demeanor is not inferior at all. On the contrary, he has a rare masculine charm. Therefore, it is not surprising that he has become the focus of the girls.

Soon, the situation about Chen Jianchen spread among the girls.

The young talent who tops the three boy examinations is very likely to be selected for the imperial examination in recent years. Even if his family background is a bit poor, as long as he is selected to become an official, he will be able to leap over the dragon gate immediately.

Compared to the aloof Mr. Wu, Chen Jianchen is undoubtedly more suitable to get in touch with...

You must know that in the Tiantong Dynasty, the marriage of the women who were waiting for marriage was basically determined by "the words of the matchmaker and the orders of their parents", and they could not make the decision themselves; many women often had never even seen their husbands.

So she got married.

A typical blind marriage and a dumb marriage.

Under such circumstances, how eager are girls for their future husbands? Which girl is not pregnant? Therefore, in many popular folk tales, the theme of a poor scholar climbing over a wall and climbing a window into the boudoir of a rich lady to settle down for life has become a theme.

.

Just because of this theme caters to the desires of both men and women.

The poor scholar wanted to join the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the rich lady; and the rich lady also wanted to find a scholar who knew books and etiquette as a companion. They could spend time together in front of flowers and under the moon, how romantic it was.

Of course, these are just stories.

In reality, how can the high wall of a rich girl be so easy to climb?

Don’t be kidding with your bare hands; where is the convenience of holding a ladder? To say the least, even if it is possible, I am afraid that the dog guarding the other party’s home will be bitten before I even raise my head.

Compared with ordinary women, girls who can study and go to school have a much broader horizon, and their choices are also wider.

For example, this time we went out for an outing, it felt a bit like a group blind date.

Chen Jianchen suddenly became a favorite, but something he didn't expect happened. Bright eyes fell on him one after another, as if he could clearly see the number of nose hairs in his nose, and he felt

Feeling uncomfortable all over.

So Chen Jianchen quickly left the group and walked alone around the huge banyan tree, pretending to take in the scenery.

All I saw was that the branches of the banyan tree were intertwined, overwhelming, and very prosperous. The clear and melodious chirping of birds kept coming from above, but because the branches and leaves were too dense, I couldn't see where the birds were hiding.

What a big tree.

Thinking of the rumors that this tree is nearly a thousand years old, Chen Jianchen wondered inexplicably, could this tree really have a spiritual orifice and become a spirit?

But then I thought about it again, and I felt a little suspicious again. If the banyan tree really became a spirit, something weird would definitely happen, but I heard from the local people that it never touched on that aspect.

After walking around for a while, Chen Jianchen strolled out, ready to take a walk outside.

Outside is the mighty Jianjiang River, and you can hear the surging sound of the river flowing in the distance.

There was a heavy snowfall two years ago. Chen Jianchen and Wang Fu went to Bijia Mountain to enjoy the snow and the river view. However, they encountered peach blossoms on the way. Their plan was shelved and they returned home.

Now, I finally have the opportunity to take a closer look at the famous Jianjiang River. And Bijia Mountain, a few miles away on the right, stands alone. The mountain shape is thin and gaunt, and there is an air of aloofness rushing towards me.

This mountain seems to have a spirit.

Chen Jianchen looked over and couldn't move away.

Mountains have mountain gods. Could it be that there really is a god on Beacon Mountain?

He immediately stopped laughing.

The so-called mountain god is just an official position arranged by the Yin Department. Regardless of whether there are gods in the sky or not, it is difficult to relate the two.

Chen Jianchen continued to move forward, and soon arrived at the riverside. The sound of roaring waves in his ears became louder, rumbling, and majestic.

After turning a corner, he suddenly saw a person standing on a high stone by the river.

A tall young woman.

The white clothes are better than the snow, and the black hair is like a waterfall. Standing by the river, he is floating like a fairy, indescribably free and elegant. But his back is turned, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly.

She just stood there quietly, letting the waves below her roll up and threaten to hit her, but she showed no fear of retreating. She just stood in a wonderful scenery.

I recommended a new book by a romantic friend, the title of the book is "Eye of the Sky"; ISBN: 2247633; That day, fate played a joke on Liu Tao, allowing him to obtain the Eye of the Sky, and from then on, he became a blockbuster.

This is a story about making money to pick up girls and join society. There is passion, passion, and a little ambiguity.
