"What is there to thank for, I am pointing to you as a general! I guess you don't necessarily have this book, I know that these books are famous, and I don't know if they are suitable or not? Tianxin asked.

Xiao Qi scratched his head, his cheeks slightly: "Fit, fit." It's just that...... I don't quite understand. ”

"Yes, do you know all the words?" Tianxin ignored that Xiao Qi was still slightly better than illiterate.

"Hehe, you know, I don't know a few big words, I thought I didn't need to study in the army."

"It's not going to work! Did you know that knowledge is power? If you join the army, you don't know what information you have, and if you miscommunicate it, you will not escape the death penalty if you delay the military situation. Think about it, if you are a general who is both civil and military, you may be fascinated by how many good-looking girls! Tianxin joked and wanted Xiao Qi to increase his interest in learning.

"What do you say! Isn't it literacy? I can learn! "Xiao Qi is much shyer than Tianxin, but Tianxin looks old and thick-skinned.

"How to learn? Where to study? Your third brother can't go to school. ”

"I'll learn from the third brother!"

"Your third brother can't be busy himself. Either you follow me to learn, but you have to do it secretly, otherwise everyone else will ask me to learn words, and I won't have time to do business and make money. Tianxin really wanted to teach Xiao Qi something, but he couldn't show it too much, so he had to use the excuse of making money to fool this honest child, "Tomorrow, come to my house from time to time, I will tell you to read and write when I have lunch and leisure." No one is allowed to say oh, otherwise if you don't teach you, you won't be a general! Tianxin showed the trick of tutoring children in the summer of her previous life, and she felt a little at ease. The true nature of the old hen is revealed.

Xiao Qiyi should take a bite. Looking at Tianxin, he had a kind of hazy admiration, and occasionally he would feel that this girl was walking in front of him. Faintly holding on to the light, for this inexplicable sacrosanct feeling, he was willing to look at her first. Although Tianxin is still a few years younger than him, but since he knew her, he didn't feel that he had the advantage of being older, she knew so much, so she would make money, as soon as she opened her mouth, she could make everyone follow her willingly, and she did it every time. In the end, it can surprise him. Such a girl. He was genuinely willing to work with her for the rest of his life. Protect her for the rest of her life. Ten-year-old Xiao Qi, the life he thinks of at this moment, and the real sense of the word. I don't know how far apart.

Xiao Qi came to find Tianxin in the next day, but he came too early, and Tianxin was still eating. The second day came earlier, and he walked around outside Ren's house for two more times, and then ran into the house and shouted Tianxin. After a few days, not to mention the black line on Tianxin's head, Ren's sister-in-law wondered, although Ren didn't say anything, he told Ren's sister-in-law at night, whether the two families were too close. Sister-in-law Ren went to Tianxin's house. asked her, is Xiao Qi still helping his mother to tempt?

"Mother, you think too much, Xiao Qi came to me to learn the craft." This is a big misunderstanding. Tianxin thinks that she is not so tempting.

"What does he want you to learn?" Sister-in-law Ren didn't believe it.

"I've learned a lot. My daughter can do anything! Tianxin naturally can't say that she knows how to read, she has never been to the school, and she always goes to Ren Carpenter where she usually needs to write, just for fear of revealing her stuffing. So I thought of a word in a blink of an eye, "Didn't my lantern sell for a high price?" He was thinking that he could make one like this next year, and he would sell it for a few bucks during the Lantern Festival. ”

"That's right. If he mentions the mistress or his mother, you can't answer nonsense. Sister-in-law Ren habitually stroked her daughter's hair and poured love into her fingertips, "My mother is very relieved of Xin'er, Xin'er is eight years old in a blink of an eye, and in two years, my mother will match you with a good family." Daddy is just a daughter of yours, and she has already prepared a dowry for you, we don't look for that dignitary, just find an honest one, your father thought that he could recruit one for you, but our family is not a solid family. Mother doesn't want to wronged you to be a concubine, those who are officials are wives and concubines, all day long in the flower street and willow lane, the wife doesn't care about it, and the good or bad is infamous for being jealous. If you are a concubine, you will be deceived by your wife, and if you are a wife, you will be harmed by your concubine...... Mother will never let Xin'er suffer this. Sister-in-law Ren's thoughts should be considered avant-garde at the time, which implied Tianxin's thoughts, she really doesn't want to share a man with others, after all, she is a modern person, and she also disdains Xiaosan. Tianxin didn't expect Sister-in-law Ren to say this, didn't the ancients all have the capacity to accommodate people, especially women, who have followed the example of Empress E's daughter...... Looking at Ren's sister-in-law's more and more angry appearance, she must be well versed in the dispute between wives and concubines, but Ren Carpenter does not have a concubine room, and there are fewer concubines in this West City, after all, they are not rich.

"By the way, this little seventh elder follows you, could it be him...... This kid is more down-to-earth than his brother, and he has so many children, I don't know if he can get into the ......."

"Mother! What do you say, how old is he, you think far away. Tianxin was helpless. In the previous life, falling in love as a teenager was called early love, and in this life, children who are less than ten years old are going to get married...... The contrast is too great.

Sister-in-law Ren smiled, the child was shy: "Yes, yes, my mother is far away." Wait for your father to save more dowry for you, and we will marry out in style. My mother also wants to give you more looks, if there is really no stability in the West Market, my mother will go to ask someone. ”

The Ren family is not a poor person who is overstretched, it is a well-off family with no worries about food and clothing, but they also live frugally in ordinary times, Tianxin only thinks that the reason for the family is too little, and today I listen to Ren's sister-in-law's words, and the dowry prepared for her is probably a lot. This father and mother are frugal, and they have pasted their daughters, Tianxin was moved: "Mother, don't want your daughter, you do embroidery, your eyes are broken, and your father gets up early every day to touch the dark, it's too bitter." My daughter can make money, and my daughter will make you happy in the future! You don't have to save money for me, you can buy yourself more food and clothing!" ”

Ren's sister-in-law had red circles in her eyes, thinking that her daughter was afraid that her family would be poor and she couldn't afford it, so she said softly: "Xin'er, my mother knows that you are sensible." Father and mother are not short of money, we have a stove on the stove behind the prince, your father has made a secret grid, which hides the mother's dowry and the money saved by your father. You don't need so much on weekdays, you see that the family has enough food and clothing, it's all for you! ”

Only then did Tianxin know that her father and mother were much more low-key than herself.

"When your mother got married, she had thirty-two dowries, although they were not as good as ten miles of red makeup, but they were also beautiful. Mother really wants to give you sixty-four lifts...... Although your father doesn't talk much, he is really a real person, no matter what happens, he always puts our mother and daughter first, and marrying your father is the biggest good thing in my mother's life. Sister-in-law Ren's eyes were filled with happiness. Tianxin looked at her mother carefully, although she was dressed plainly and simply, she couldn't hide her beautiful face, but at the age of twenty-five, it was the age to enjoy youth, so she felt that she should be wearing a hairpin, wearing Luo clothes, tasting snacks, and listening to the opera...... But now, she is busy with housework, her slender figure is tired, her delicate hands have been cocooned, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the cyan under her eyes have added wind and frost to her for no reason, but she is dressed like an old mother. She, in fact, is not as old as when Tianxin left her previous life...... Tianxin hugged her mother's arm tightly, listening to her babbling nostalgia, and felt distressed. I always feel that my mother has enjoyed happiness, but I hope it is true. That night, Ren's sister-in-law did not leave her house until Tianxin fell asleep.

For fear that his father and mother would be suspicious again, and the neighbors of the province would talk about it, Tianxin made an appointment with Xiao Qi, and then went to the candle shop in the back street. The owner of the shop has been back to his hometown for more than a year, but he has not returned, the shop is empty and unattended, and the children often use it as a secret base. Tianxin is not a big word to teach Xiao Qi, one is too boring, and the other is that she doesn't have so much time, her purpose is to let Xiao Qi know more about military knowledge, so she divides the thirty-six strategies into small stories and tells them to him. After speaking, explain and read aloud to him throughout the text, and explain the rare words in it by the way. Xiao Qiben is not illiterate, listening to the story, more and more interested, learning quickly, occasionally can retell a short paragraph without typos, but to know these words, it is not easy. Xiao Qi always has to study for an hour every day before he is willing to go home. Tianxin still has to be busy making money, and she is afraid that she will delay Xiao Qi to do his family work after coming out for a long time, so on that day, she discussed with Xiao Qi that she would study for half an hour a day in the future, and occasionally extend the class hours when she was free. Xiao Qi reluctantly agreed, but he had to say more to her that day, and he was a little worried that Tianxin would not want to teach him military books again. Tianxin likes to teach children, and told a few more stories, about half an hour longer than usual, and the two went home separately.

Tianxin first went to Ren Carpenter's workshop, and asked her father to make a nesting doll the day before yesterday, but I don't know if it will be successful. Carpenter Ren had never seen this thing before, and felt that it was a little rare, so he pondered for a long time before he started it. It's late for her to go to the workshop anyway, so she can talk to Sister-in-law Ren.

The doors and windows of the workshop were still closed. This is different from the habit of Ren carpenter, he and Tianxin like to open the doors and windows to let the air flow and disperse the foul air. Could it be that Daddy is afraid that others will see what he does? It shouldn't be! Tianxin knocked on the door, but no one answered the door. She pushed the door again, and there was a bolt stuck in it, so naturally someone was there.

"Dad, are you in there?" Tianxin shouted.
