288. Persuasion

When Xizi was rescued, Mrs. Wu also saw him a few times, and packed some clothes and shoes for him to wear, at that time he was already so thin that he was out of shape, and after washing it and taking a closer look, he was indeed a child with neat eyebrows, not the one who was born neatly, and the traffickers didn't want him yet, and he had to be smashed in his hands if he couldn't sell it.

But Mrs. Wu didn't care that his sister was born like this, her face was moist, her eyebrows were big, her nose was straight, the corners of her mouth were smiling, her lips were red and her teeth were white without fat powder, her upper body was green, her lower body was white silk skirt, and her ears were like two droplet-like jasper earrings, and her head moved slightly, and she trembled slightly.

is not bad, what she says is not bad, standing in a proper manner, her eyes are not messy, she knows that she is a girl from the Song family, she is not afraid to stand up in a strange way, she looks not petty, Mrs. Wu laughed and invited them to eat tea and snacks.

Shi Gui is not timid, but Qiu Niang is a little timid, just like when she first saw Mingyue, she can't wait to kneel down for Mrs. Wu, and she almost knelt down, but the girl next to Mrs. Wu helped her: "Our wife can't see this." ”

Qiu Niang thanked her and sat down with Xizi in her arms, Mrs. Wu asked how she had lost her child, Qiu Niang was stunned for a while, and tears flowed down, telling Mrs. Wu how she was deceived from the village and how she was sold by her mother-in-law first.

The matter here is really unspeakable, her mother-in-law is going to sell her, how can Qiu Niang not be resentful in her heart, since she married into the Shi family, she asked herself if there is nothing that she can't live with Yu Pozi, everything is in line with her, and she is wronged, and she is wronged, and she understands that her widow is unemployed and raises her son, but she never thought that she would have a black conscience and collude with traffickers to sell her.

Mrs. Wu was very unsightly, if it wasn't for the presence of Qiu Niang Xizi, she was afraid that she would reprimand herself, but in the end she couldn't help it, only sighed twice, and persuaded her: "Although it is difficult, in the end I met a kind-hearted person, it can be seen that the Bodhisattva has opened his eyes, and whether he has merit or demerits are recorded on the merit book." ”

Shi Gui refilled the tea for Qiu Niang, saw that she turned out the sad things again, patted her back, Qiu Niang felt better, and said that she had raised a wonton stall to save money to go to Jinling to find her daughter, Mrs. Wu just listened to the selling or the purpose of the eyebrows, and now she was busy making a living, but her eyes were red, she shed tears, pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed: "It's all the blessing of the Bodhisattva, that's why you met, since you found your daughter, why did you come to Suizhou again?"

"My man said that he came to Suizhou to run a boat, so he had to take his children to look for it, I really can't find it, let's go back to my hometown." "I also said that I came to Suizhou to run a boat and saved money to redeem my daughter.

Mrs. Wu looked at Shi Gui again, her eyes were very soft, her mother was filial piety, and she was willing to work hard and endure hardships, what days could not go on, she looked at Shi Gui and nodded: "It turns out that our master also said that he was going to the Song family, and he would say a word for you, so that you could reunite with your brother, but before it was done, the Song family had a funeral, and the master was transferred out, and the family was busy, so this matter was put aside, in the end, there is still a fate, so that you can reunite again." ”

Whether she really meant this, or said a few words casually, Shi Gui had to thank her, Mrs. Wu ate two sips of tea, and looked at her by eating tea, but the raw eyebrows were soft and soft, but a pair of eyes were shining, but the gentleness of the curved eyebrows was covered up, and only the strength of the eyebrows was revealed.

After Qiu Niang finished speaking, her husband ran on the cargo ship, and went to sea with the official ship, and brought the mother and son to look for him, and saw Mrs. Wu frowning, and muttered for a while: "I can't say anything about the side, but I know something about this, the official ship has already returned, and the goods on the dock have already been sent to the north and south of the river. ”

Shi Gui only knew that there were many ships on the dock, but he didn't know that he would take so many ships out of the sea once, there were so many ships, and there were many people with him, just the roster was packed with a box, and the people on the ship had to carefully remember their names and surnames, and if they died of illness on the ship, they had to make another record, it was not easy to check the roster on the ship, but it was easy to check the people who died on the ship, but I didn't know how to speak.

The family rushed to Suizhou from a long distance, and they didn't know how much suffering they had suffered, so it was really difficult to ask someone else to check the list of dead people.

Shi Gui thought about it in his heart and understood, but he couldn't ask in front of Qiu Niang, seeing that Qiu Niang listened, her frown was worried, and it became more and more difficult to speak, just look at Mrs. Wu, it is better to beg Mrs. Ji if she begs her, one is to meet more, and the other is that Ye Wenxin can help speak.

Mrs. Wu can't rashly mention that she should go to the pension list, and those with military status can still get some compensation in silver, just according to the battle death, but the people don't make up more money than the soldiers.

Xizi knew that Qiu Niang was sad, and she couldn't ask if she wanted to ask, so she shook her mother's hand, but Shi Gui persuaded her: "Maybe my father will go back to his hometown to find us, but I didn't expect us to go to Suizhou again." ”

Qiu Niang deserved a sound, looked at her daughter, and remembered Mingyuelai, pinched Xizi's hand, Xizi was excited, and then said, "Where did Brother Wu go?"

Mrs. Wu didn't expect him to ask this, and immediately laughed: "Your big brother Wu is now a small banner, and one person is in charge of ten people, so naturally he can't be idle." Seeing that he was still a child, and knowing that Qianli was taking him with him as if he was taking his youngest son, he said a few more words: "Since I came to Suizhou, when our lord was not at home, he slept in the camp every day. ”

Xizi still wants to go back to the camp, follow her mother and sister, and eat and dress every day, but she always feels tired, and she has to follow the boxing to be more refreshing.

Xizi's temperament, Shi Gui touched a little, and heard him say a few times, if he has great strength, he will not be beaten, and when he hears it, he is sad, knowing that he is afraid of being beaten, and there are still some old injuries on his body, if he is not fortunate enough to stay in the barracks, he is only afraid that he will be bullied by those adults in Jimin.

Qiu Niang's green calyx is the same when it comes to cold and warm shops, everywhere there are people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, Qiu Niang bathed Xizi, I don't know how many of her tears fell in the bath bucket, there were injuries on her shoulders and waist, and she had to raise it up thanks to it, if it really hurt the roots, she couldn't wait to die immediately.

Mrs. Wu saw that Xizi was really worried, and said with a smile: "Qianli follows our master, I am more relieved to have him, the two of them will always come back every other half a month, and I will sue him when the time comes." ”

The naval camp is set up by the port, which is much stricter than the original rules, and there are still some soldiers who have to go to shipbuilding.

Xizi knew that he couldn't enter the barracks this time, and he still wanted to be a soldier, counting the days before he could go in five years, and he drooped his head without making a sound, Shi Gui smiled: "He is very grateful to the adults who rescued him from fire and water back then, and he wants to be a soldier, but he is not old yet, and when he is older, he will see what he wants to do." ”

Shi Gui said and asked: "I heard that since ancient times, famous generals have also studied, and I persuaded him to go to the academy first, whether it is to read military books, even if he really wants to be a soldier, he still has to have knowledge in his stomach." ”

Mrs. Wu only said that she had an idea, but she never thought that she was still a knowledgeable person, and her husband was bent on martial arts when he was young, but he left this behind, and picked it up when he was older, only to know that the bandits had suffered a lot of losses, and if they knew these early, they didn't have to fight with brute force.

These Lord Wu have said to his wife that he has made up his mind to follow Master Wu and persuaded him to study more, and he is not the one who can't read, so he has to pick one from the barracks who can read and write, which is not easy, he can really read, which one still wants to be a soldier, and he went to the imperial examination.

Qianli was indeed taught, he took the book and looked at it when he got on the boat, and pushed a sand table to line up the soldiers, Lord Wu also said that he was a material that could be made, young and motivated, and he had a belly of intelligence, and he said that he was good.

Mrs. Wu didn't let go, her daughter is her palm bead, there is nothing at this time, how can she be willing to marry her daughter to him, not to mention whether it will be good or not in the future, and it is not a matter of getting married in the countryside.

Mrs. Wu never thought that she could still hear these words from the mouth of a girl, but she was stunned, and laughed: "It is this reason, your brother Wu has not stopped reading books these days, and there are twenty-four polemics, and he refuses to leave them in his hand. ”

Because of the closeness to make a joke, Shi Gui listened to the heart moved, she had been persuaded, but she didn't expect Mingyue to look at the big grinning, and the most disgusted with sour fake vinegar, she was willing to spend effort on this, she also smiled, reached out and touched Xizi's head: "Look, the eldest brother is studying, do you want to study too?" said while nodding at Mrs. Wu with a smile.

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, she never thought that Shi Gui's idea was this, and after looking at it on both sides, she laughed out loud, and felt more and more that this girl was really a wonderful person.

Xizi listened to it for a long time, and knew that Lord Wu was reading, and Brother Mingyue was also reading, so he didn't say anything about it, but he never thought about it, thinking about it now, all the powerful people in his heart have read, and if he wants to be a soldier, he has to study.

Shi Gui smiled gratefully at Mrs. Wu, Xizi wanted to be a soldier, but he didn't really understand what it was to be a soldier, he had never seen a war and suppress bandits, he only knew that no one dared to bully him when he was a soldier, or he was beaten and deceived and scared, if he wanted to teach him, he had to let him see more, listen and learn more, and sending him to the school to study was the first step.

I really waited for him to study for five years, and really figured it out, he wanted to be a soldier, and Shi Gui couldn't stop him, but he couldn't let him be a blind man, he could write, count, read and read, and he had to learn first.

Xizi looked at Shi Gui, and then at Qiu Niang, her sister and mother both looked at her with a smile, so he nodded, and Mrs. Wu saw that he was in response, and laughed: "It's not easy to find a school where the instructor talks." ”

Suizhou's style of study is prosperous, and there are a lot of people who respond to the exam, and there are many people from Suizhou who are on the list, but there are very few champions, that is, the local dialect is difficult to understand, the sage asked at the top, and the response at the bottom is not understood.

Shi Gui raised his head and smiled at Mrs. Wu: "As long as he is willing in his heart, no matter how difficult it is, he can do it." ”
