After listening to the aunt, Zhou Youwang said to the aunt: "This is it! Go back first, Meizi and I will discuss it. If she agrees, we will take Xing'er home."
Three days later, Xing'er arrived at Zhou Youwang's house and became Zhou Youwang's child bride, that is, Xiaoshan's husband. Since Xing'er arrived at Zhou Youwang's home, she has taken care of Xiaoshan every day.
Time flies so fast, 7 years have passed without realizing it. This year, Xing'er is 19 years old. It is said that women change every time they grow up, and this is true. The 19-year-old Xing'er is so elegant.
In the autumn of Xing'er's 19-year-old, Xing'er suddenly disappeared. After Xing'er disappeared, Zhou Youwang and Wu Meizi searched everywhere, but they searched for a long time but couldn't find Xing'er. In the end, they had to give up searching.
So, where did Xing'er go? It turned out that Xing'er had eloped with a young man in the town. The young man was from another place, named Li Qing, and was a clerk from a shop in the town. Xing'er often went to that store to buy things, so she met Li Qing. After a long time, the two developed feelings for each other.
One afternoon, when Xing'er arrived at the entrance of the town, Li Qing appeared.原来,他们约好了私奔。
Xinger and Li Qing elope to Li Qing's hometown. Li Qing's hometown is in a mountain village. The mountain village is not big, with only more than twenty families, and more than twenty families are poor.
Soon after, Li Qing and Xing'er held a wedding in the mountain village, and everyone in the mountain village attended their wedding.
一个月后,杏儿怀孕了。 Li Qing was very happy and went to the mountains to hunt every day. He gave Xing'er the wild beasts he had obtained from hunting to nourish his body.
Nine months later, Xing'er gave birth to a daughter, and Li Qing gave her daughter a name called Li Xiaocui.
When Li Xiaocui grew up, she married a scholar in a small town outside the mountain, named Zhao Shu.
Li Xiaocui died three years after she got married. After Li Qing passed away, Li Xiaocui took Xing'er to Zhao Shu's home, and since then, Xing'er has lived at Zhao Shu's home.
第二年,赵书考中了秀才。 For a moment, the town caused a sensation because Zhao Shu was the first scholar in the town to pass the exam. In the days that followed, Zhao Shu passed the Juren and Jinshi exams one after another.
After Zhao Shu passed the imperial examination, he was sent by the court to Xing'er's hometown to become the magistrate. Shortly after Zhao Shu took office, he brought Li Xiaocui and Xing'er to the county government.
One day, Xing'er brought Li Xiaocui and a few yamen runners to Zhoujiazhuang. After they arrived at Zhoujiazhuang, they learned that Zhou Youwang and Wu Meizi had both passed away. Zhou Xiaoshan had never married due to his health, and now he can be considered poor and destitute.
After Xing'er saw Zhou Xiaoshan, she gave Zhou Xiaoshan a 500 tael silver note .
After Xing'er and Li Xiaocui returned to the county government, they told Zhao Shu about their experiences. After hearing her words, Zhao Shu said, "So, the Zhou family is kind to you. Let's take him to the county government tomorrow."
The next morning, Zhao Shu, Xing'er, Li Xiaocui and a group of yamen runners came to Zhoujiazhuang and picked Zhou Xiaoshan away. After Zhou Xiaoshan was taken away, the villagers said that although Xing'er had eloped with someone back then, she did not forget the kindness of the Zhou family to her.
