Chapter 35 New Recruits
I hope that after changing your name, you can put yourself in the right position and start your life again, Shen Moli looked at the thin little girl standing next to Wen Zhu, and looked at herself pitifully with a pair of round eyes on her palm-sized face, this look was too similar to the raindrops, "You come to report your name and age in turn." ”
"Miss Hui's words, the slave's name is Taozhi! I'm 10 years old this year! As soon as Momozhi spoke, her big round eyes bent into a crescent shape.
Looking at the peach branch with a happy face, Shen Moli nodded, "In the future, follow Lamei to study hard." ”
"Yes! Do as the young lady instructs! "Momozhi learned the rules of human teeth and honestly practiced the etiquette, with an expression of waiting for the young lady's name.
Shen Moli looked at this cute girl, and the smile on her face deepened, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Slave maid, please give the lady a name!" Momozhi replied cutely.
"The trees are full of delicate and red, and the ten thousand branches are scorching in spring. Your name is good and it fits you perfectly! You don't have to! Shen Moli likes this little girl from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you, Miss, for the compliment!" Momozhi looked at the young lady with admiration, and the young lady recited the poem so beautifully.
"The slave is called a big girl, and she is ten years old this year." The big girl said honestly.
"You're the eldest child in the family?" Shen Moli asked.
"Yes!" The big girl nodded honestly.
"You have to change your name when you get to the house, let me think about what to call it!" Shen Moli looked at this little girl with a simple face, "It's better to be called Lilac!" ”
"Miss Xie's name!" Growing so big, Lilac finally has a name of her own, and her eye circles are instantly a little wet.
"Lamei, you take the three of them down!" Shen Moli picked up the screen that had been half-embroidered for his grandfather's birthday, and continued to embroider the one in front.
Baoji did not suffer much loss from the snow disaster this time, but it was a trouble, and in February, it caught up with the green and yellow, and many small gangs of horse thieves took advantage of the night to run to the nearby villages outside the city to loot and intercept and kill, and the nearby villagers were panicked all day long, and many rich and wealthy families brought their families into Baoji County.
Shen Botao has been sleeping unsteadily every night for this matter these days, and his mouth is foaming.
"Hey, I want to be an official when I am not an official, and there are such and such troubles when I am an official, if you want me to say, I am still most comfortable when I am not an official!" Zhou Wanqing took the fire soup and handed it to her husband.
Shen Botao frowned and took the bowl and analyzed with the only listener's daughter, "These horse thieves are making trouble in the village outside the city, and when they get the news here, they will run away and disappear!" It is also impossible to send troops to every village, and then Baoji County will be empty. ”
Shen Moli thought about it and asked again: "Yes! There are still very few villages with defenses in place. Daddy, can't you catch all these bandits? ”
"It's not that easy! There are many mountains near us, and the hiding places of these bandits are not fixed, so it is difficult to find their specific whereabouts. In addition, our defenders can defend the city, and they are helpless to deal with the wandering bandits. Shen Botao said with a long sigh, "But when Chenjing replied to the letter, he mentioned this matter, saying that he would send elites to encircle and suppress these bandits in a few days. ”
I hope they can arrive as soon as possible to reduce the casualties and property losses of the people, Shen Moli pondered for a long time and said, "My daughter thinks it's not true. It is not the way to sit back and wait, it is better to send a force to patrol the villages from time to time and on an irregular route, which can also play a deterrent role. ”
Shen Botao listened to his daughter's words, thought carefully about the case, and got up, "That's right! How could I not have thought of it! It's too old-fashioned! I'm going to arm! Said that he hurriedly went out.
Zhou Wanqing looked at the soup that had not taken a few sips: "Lamei, you go and fill some soup for Chengzi to send over." ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Lamei quit the door and went to find Chengzi.
Shen Moli saw that her mother was in a good mood at this moment, so she walked up to her and beat her mother on the back and said, "Mother, there is still half a month to go before the birthday of the loan, you see that the world is not stable, should we hire a few darts?" ”
When Zhou Wanqing heard her daughter's words, she thought about it and nodded: "It's really unstable!" Thinking about it again, he had prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts, "It seems that I have to give you a letter for the loan, let's go this time, and wait to make up for it later." "I can't just cause trouble to my husband because I am going to make trouble, just wait until this time is over.
Shen Moli listened to her mother's words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she made money after a while!
Five days later, the Tongguan border army, which had changed its defense, arrived outside Baoji City and joined forces with the local defenders to exterminate the bandits who came out to fight the grass valley, and the remaining remnants fled into the mountains in a hurry, and they could not find a trace for a while.
Shen Botao breathed a sigh of relief for this, and praised the combat ability of the border army again and again, "Li'er, you must not have thought that there are still our acquaintances!" "My wife doesn't like to listen to the things that fight and kill, so I went to the flower hall early in the morning to arrange the affairs of the house, and when I want to talk, I only have my daughter by my side, and it is really an intimate little padded jacket!
Shen Moli responded casually: "Who?" ”
"Zhang Sangongzi! He's Captain Zhang now! Shen Botao said incredulously, "I joined the army at a young age, and it's not easy to be a strategic!" ”
Hearing his father's words, Shen Moli asked seriously, "Daddy, are you talking about Zhang Jiashan?" ”
Shen Botao nodded affirmatively.
He didn't go back to Dijing, he joined the army and has been in Tongguan! Shen Moli inexplicably felt a trace of worry in her heart, plus a little bit of anticipation.
A few days later, Zhang Jiashan really came to the door, but he didn't come to find Shen Moli, he was about to leave after meeting Shen Botao and his wife, but asked Lamei to bring a letter to Shen Moli.
Shen Moli opened the letter with a complicated mood, and the first thing that caught his eye was the majestic calligraphy, but he didn't expect him to write a good hand, and then look at the content, "Take a kite and go to the green when the day after tomorrow!" With contempt, Shen Moli hurriedly went out with Lamei to select a beautifully made kite, and it turned out that he was far from being as calm as he imagined.
