Chapter 202, the roadside talks at night to persuade his brother to make every effort to support his own household
Because of Situ Yan's frankness, he suddenly moved Tian Wuchang's family, especially Aunt Tian. As soon as her voice fell, Aunt Tian was so angry that she jumped up from the stool and rushed to the door to scold.
"Ouch, this shameless Wu De is really the same as his cheap name, he has no virtue, forcing such a little baby to set up a household on his own, it is really goddamn to be able to do such a lack of virtue!" Aunt Tian is a loud voice, screaming and shouting, which makes Situ Yan not know how to reply.
"That's it! The scolding behind your back, there is no pain on his side. Go and move a stool for these two babies, it's noisy and noisy! This Tian Wuchang's mouth also has a little Northeast flavor, which makes Situ Yan's heart happy, but he didn't get close to it immediately, so as not to make people look down on her, thinking that she has something to ask him.
"Thank you, Aunt Tian!" Situ Yan took the stool handed over by Aunt Tian and gave it to Wu Jin first, asking him to sit down, while she herself stood beside Wu Jin.
"Well, it's worthy of being born in a scholarly family." Tian Wuchang was very satisfied with Situ Yan, firstly, it sounded like this girl and Wu De were not all the way, and secondly, this girl was an orphaned young household, which was also a good background, which was one level higher than his military status, so he was naturally a little more polite to Situ Yan.
"Uncle Tian laughed, the little girl was fortunate to follow the teachings of her late mother when she was alive, although her first mother died early, she didn't dare to forget it."
"Well, know how to be filial! I wonder what you are doing today? Uncle Tian nodded, glanced at Wu Jin and asked.
"Uncle Tian, that's the case, I came all the way from the capital, completely for my brother, and now my brother is burdened by that Wu De, so he was confiscated into the army, but he doesn't need to be a horse and shoot, I don't know something, since it is that Wu De who is in the army, that brother still has a chance to turn into a 'good book'?"
"Oh, you want Wu Jin to turn into a 'good book'?"
"Don't dare to deceive you, the reason why I will stand on my own at the beginning is not that I was driven out of the house directly by Wu De, but fled from home, when the first mother's family was killed by traitors, all over the house, and Wu De for the official position and his aunt poisoned the first mother, and happened to be bumped into by the six-year-old me, in order to kill people, Wu De fed me poison every day, and wanted me to die of madness, fortunately my brother rescued me, which made me pick up my life. So I don't want to see my brother being burdened by Wu De, so I came thousands of miles away, just to protect my brother from suffering. ”
"Oh my God! This Wu De, can the conscience let the dog eat it? "Aunt Tian's nature is not bad, after listening to Situ Yan's words, where can she still sit, stand up again, run to the door, and in the direction of Wu De, count the ones who can and can't be scolded, even the eighteen generations of ancestors.
"Okay, you old woman, you don't know how to be restrained in front of the baby!" Tian Wuchang waved his hand and asked Aunt Tian to sit down.
"But also, I'm not trying to be happy!" Aunt Tian was happy, but these throats shook Situ Yan's eardrums.
"Aunt Tian is a temperamental, I remember you here!" Situ Yan didn't forget to take the opportunity to praise a few words and ask for a favor.
Sure enough, when he saw that Tian Wuchang's family, there was a smile on his face.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, if Wu Jin can fight and make meritorious contributions, there is still a chance, but at the moment, your family is Wu De's one-man training of soldiers, and Wu Jin is just his family, not only has no reward, but also has to be punished, even if Wu De has it, Wu Jin will also be punished." Tian Wuchang's impression of this little girl was three points better, and he explained very carefully.
"Uncle Tian, can my brother become a military household on his own? Isn't that how you won't be implicated? When Situ Yan heard that Wu De was at fault, Wu Jin was going to be punished, not only was she a little anxious.
"This is okay, but the family members of the military household have to set up themselves as military households, and the conditions are harsh, I'm afraid it will be difficult for only your brothers and sisters to do it?" Tian Wuchang liked this little girl who thought about her brother everywhere more and more, and naturally thought a little more for them.
"We are not afraid, I will always accompany my brother, no matter how difficult it is, I am not afraid!" Situ Yan's firmness completely changed Wu Jin's impression in Tian Wuchang's heart.
"Okay, it's a strong baby!" Tian Wuchang's nature is not bad, but he can't understand Wu De and others, who are self-proclaimed and high-minded, have already become military households, and they still put the official family tree in front of him. And he had a bad impression of Wu Jin, mainly because this person had already filled the army, but he was still waiting with two minions. Thinking about it, he, the chief of the army, still has to work in the field by himself, so how can he look pleasing to the eye, naturally he has to pick and choose to find trouble with these people, so Wu Jin mistakenly thinks that this Tian Wu chief is not easy to get along with.
Situ Yan saw this person's character at a glance, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, it seems that this matter can be done if you ask this Wu Changxing.
"If you want to become a military household on your own, I can report to the chief, and then the chief will report to the tun chief, report at all levels, if the above agrees, you can stand up as a military household, but if you become a military household in this way, not only do you have to conduct cavalry and shoot every day, but you also have to cultivate 100 acres of military land and raise five war horses, so a person has no way to train soldiers and farm and raise horses. Have you brothers and sisters figured it out? ”
"I think it clearly, but I don't know if my brother can bring one of Wu De's family members if he establishes himself as a military household?"
"I don't know who it is?"
"This person's name is Li Shuzi, he used to be a little servant next to his brother, and Li Youzhu and Cui Ping, who are now helping the Wu family take care of the housework, are his father. Because the three of them received the great favor of their ancestors, they voluntarily followed here to take care of their brother. The three of them do not forget their old kindness, and my brother and sister naturally can't ignore their kindness. And if there were no three people to take care of him along the way, my brother would not be able to come here safely. Ask Uncle Tian to help me think of a way? Thank you, little girl! Situ Yan was afraid that this Tian Wu Chang would refuse, so she gave this person a big gift first.
"This can't be helped, hurry up! Old woman, why don't you hurry up and pull the girl up, sit down steadily at this time! ”
"Girl, hurry up, this is not difficult. Boss, you quickly think of a rut, I like this girl from the bottom of my heart, don't make this girl sad? ”
"You are happy, this thing is easy to do, it is difficult to do, it is difficult to do, but you need to touch the upper and lower points, your wife touches the skin of the mouth, and you pay the money for this gift?" Tian Wuchang listened to Situ Yan's words, although he was not so disgusted with Wu Jin's servants, but he was not willing to help outsiders out of his own pocket.
As soon as Situ Yan heard this, this matter can be done with money, so it is not a problem at all, and hurriedly took Tian Wuchang's words, "The money used in this dot will naturally be made up by our brothers and sisters!" Situ Yan originally wanted to say that she was the one who came out, but when the words came out of her mouth, she and Wu Jin made it up, so that it would not give people the feeling of being wealthy, so as not to be remembered, what could have been done for ten taels might become a hundred taels or a thousand taels in a blink of an eye.
"Girl, I know that you used to be the home of the eunuchs, but I'm afraid that the family has spent a lot along the way, right? It looks like the winter is coming, your house has not been repaired, and the grain has not been saved, although after the separation, you don't have to pay taxes for the first year, but you only rely on Wu Jin's little black face and 50 yuan a month to support your family, I'm afraid it's not a good time? ”
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Tian, you tell me a number, let's go back and make it up, even if it is selling jewelry, sewing and embroidery, our brothers and sisters will definitely make up the money!"
"Okay, Wu Jin's matter is not difficult, but it is more difficult for Li Shuzi to follow Wu Jin, after all, people are still family members under Wu De's name, and it will cost ten taels of silver to succeed!" Tian Wuchang conservatively reported a number, ten taels of silver, which is also a large amount in ordinary military households, but this matter has to be reported layer by layer, and less than ten taels cannot be done at all.
"As long as it can be done, ten taels will be ten taels, thank you Uncle Tian, our brothers and sisters will go back to make money, and when the money comes out, we have to trouble Uncle Tian again!" Situ Yan thought of one hundred taels, but she didn't expect it to be only ten taels, she felt that she had picked up a big bargain.
"This is a trivial matter, if the girl really can't do it, let's wait until the end of this year to find a way, right?" Tian Wuchang still hopes that the two brothers and sisters can think more about themselves and not spend all their savings because of a minion.
"Let's go back and make up for it, if we can't succeed, we won't have to help Uncle Tian in the future! I bought this jar of water wine in the county, a little heart, just as my junior filial piety to you! ”
"Okay, old woman, stay with the wine! Also, Wu Jin, tell Wu Deming to come to the school at the beginning of his childhood, you can come too, there is no harm in learning to ride and shoot! Although ten taels of silver is a lot, Tian Wuchang didn't know why, he felt that Situ Yan must have taken it out, so he thought that it was for his good to let Wu Jin learn to ride and shoot with him first.
Wu Jin responded, "Yes!" Before he could continue to reply, Aunt Tian took the words, "I know that you are good, this is beautiful!" As he spoke, he took the wine jar in Wu Jin's hand, and then sent the two out.
Wu Jin hadn't spoken since he entered the house, and he was about to leave at this time, so he saluted and said, "Farewell!" ”
Out of Tian Wuchang's house, Wu Jin took Situ Yan into his arms, and choked with self-blame, "Yan'er, my good sister, it's my brother's fault that I can't stand you, and I make you suffer so much, it's my fault, I'm sorry for my mother, I'm sorry for you!" ”
"Brother! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me? Situ Yan was so crying by Wu Jin that she tried to ask, but Wu Jin just hugged her and refused to say why?
"Brother! If you hug me any longer, I'll be out of breath! Situ Yan wanted to tease Wu Jin, but Wu Jin just let go of her gently, but she still didn't move, she just cried.
"Hey!" Situ Yan sighed, thought about it for a while, and naturally understood why Wu Jin was sad.
"Brother, I really didn't suffer, brother have to believe me! And my mother is blessed by the spirit of heaven, I am alive and well! And my mother didn't blame you, but more for you to feel sorry for you, I can often dream of my mother, every time she looks into the distance, thinking that she is missing her brother! ”
"Really, my mother really didn't blame me, but why did I never dream of my mother?" Wu Jin really believed Situ Yan's words, and pulled her to ask a little excitedly.
"Xu is the eldest brother's yang energy, and I am a woman, and women are yin, so I can see my mother often." In order to appease Wu Jin, Situ Yan moved out the way of yin and yang.
"What Yan'er said is also true, but I look at what you just talked about, if it weren't for the long-term changes, where would you be so sharp, Yan'er, you must tell the truth to your brother, is it often difficult for you to make your personality change?" Although Wu Jin believed Situ Yan's words, he still had doubts about her sudden change in personality.
"How can anyone be embarrassed for me as a little girl, like me who witnessed the murder of my biological mother, and then was poisoned and unconscious, chased and killed by my own father, and was not allowed to leave my hometown, but my personality remains the same, that is what my brother is more worried about, and now I have my mother's teachings, I can be sensible and moral, and I can share my brother's worries is not better?"
"But Yan'er, you're only 9 years old, if it weren't for the great changes in your family, you would still be a daughter raised in the boudoir, where would you go through so many hardships?"
"Early Ming things, late Ming things, people always have to grow up, sages have clouds, 'the heavens will descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't.' I just think that all this is a test of God for me, and my brother thinks this is the reason? Situ Yan thought that it would be better to take this opportunity to persuade this brother, so that he would not blame himself so much and be so decadent.
"This is the reason, but the moon is cloudy and sunny, and it is difficult to follow everything, isn't it that hard work will be rewarded?"
"My brother is right, but it's not right, hard work will not necessarily be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, it will definitely not be rewarded. Why doesn't my brother give it a try? ”
"Try, what do I try now, don't say ten taels of silver, even one or two silver I can't take out, not to mention that I have to farm a hundred acres, I can't even take a pickaxe in addition to talking on paper, it's really useless to be a scholar! And even if I set up my own military household, I am also a 'deaf person', and I have a guilty body, so what future can I talk about. Yan'er, there will be no day for my brother to turn over in his life, how can I affect you? ”
"Nonsense! Brother is tired by Wu De, as long as he can make military merits, he will naturally have a day to turn over, although his brother has not taken a knife, gun, pickaxe, but you are only 17 years old this year, you can't learn, you can't ask, and my brother has read so many books, and he has read a lot of books on the art of war. How can my brother be presumptuous! ”
"Yan'er, do you really think you can do it as a brother?" Wu Jin was finally moved by Situ Yan's words, as long as there was some relaxation, Situ Yan believed that as long as he was given time and let him see hope, Wu Jin would eventually cheer up.
"Of course, my brother has always been Yan'er's dependence, and he is Yan'er's only relative, even if it is for Yan'er, you have to cheer up! Otherwise, wouldn't Yan'er be even more lonely in this world? ”
"No, I won't let Yan'er be lonely, okay, if you're a brother, I'll listen to my sister, be self-reliant, make meritorious contributions as soon as possible, and definitely support my Yan'er for a piece of the sky!"
"Brother!" This time, Situ Yan hugged Wu Jin, and finally this brother did not disappoint her.
"Brother's heart, its strength is gold, although I am not a man's body, but I can go to the northeast alone, and then flee back to Beijing, this time I have thousands of miles to find relatives to come to this northwest, I think that my demeanor will never lose to men, so as long as my brother can cheer up, our brother and sister will be able to make military merits again, and then it will be the day when my brother comes out!"
"Good! Good! My Yan'er spirit is not inferior to that of men! Wu Jin hugged Situ Yan, and the bitterness and grief in his heart instantly turned into strength, and his lonely hesitation was also crushed by his sister's courage, leaving only self-confidence and self-improvement. (To be continued.) )
