Before leaving, Steward Gu still couldn't help but tell Wen Wan with red eyes: "Don't carry anything by yourself, and don't take your body for nothing." If you have any difficulties, just come to the capital to find us! ”

Wen Wan responded, and stuffed him with cotton shoes and pants that he had sewn overnight: "The Gu family's son-in-law has been prepared, this is yours, your legs and feet are not good, I have a thick cotton in it." Don't be reluctant to eat and wear, take care of yourself, you know? ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but blush.

Steward Gu nodded again and again, and wiped the muddy tears with his sleeve: "Know, know, good girl, Uncle Gu is looking forward to you!" ”

Zhen Niang and her brother wanted to stay, but they were also persuaded to leave by Wen Wan and Wensheng. Now that the war is in chaos, she would rather them follow Gu Qingning to the capital for refuge than put everyone in for the sake of their family.

"The capital costs a lot, and I sewed two hundred taels into the cotton clothes I made for my brother, and if the money is not enough, just take it out and use it. In addition, I made dim sum pickles and dried meat, and my brother ate it himself, and he also made it a gift. I also asked my brother to take care of my sister-in-law's family for me. Wen Wan tied his brother with a thick black cloth cloak and smiled and took her brother's hand.

Wen Fusheng nodded, touched her head and pushed the little brother into her arms: "You don't have to worry about it, my brother is waiting for you, don't let my brother wait!" ”

Wen Youcai also hugged his fragrant third sister and said sullenly: "Sister, I can't bear you!" ”

Wen Wan smiled and patted his thin shoulder: "Go ahead!" ”

Starting from Shuozhou City, you can reach the capital in less than three months, and with enough food, materials and weapons, how can you get to the capital.

When everyone was gone, the small courtyard began to quiet down, and only the bleak autumn breeze remained.

Wen Wan stared at the blue sky for a while, and then cooperated with Lin Yuan and the two to clean up the yard. After she was done, she re-pasted the doors and windows with cotton paper, closed the thick red curtains, and hung two cardboard red lanterns on both sides of the door, which made it more lively.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Wen Wan sent Lin Yuan to buy a new mattress and quilt to dismantle and wash and dry, so that he could lie in it at night and not freeze his feet. After a lot of hard work, plus the cost of fleeing before, there was not much broken silver on his body. If this continues, there will always be a day when the mountain will be empty.

The days quickly slipped into November, and the weather was frighteningly cold. One month was enough time for Lin Yuan to learn to sprout, and he also picked up a free teacher for the Yuanbao Axian brothers.

This gentleman's surname is Wang, he is seventy years old, and he is also a poor man. It was dawn that day, and when Lin Yuan saw him after selling bean sprouts at the market, he was already lying on the side of the road and was about to freeze. On a cold day, he was wrapped in a thin and tattered garment like a veil, his face was bruised, his hands and feet were full of chilblains, and his body was as thin as the reeds burning on the stove.

After Lin Yuan and Wen Wan gave him medicine, a full body massage and hot soup for three days, he finally came back to life with dementia.

However, people are like dead trees, lifeless, and only sit on chairs in the courtyard every day and look at the fallen leaves in the courtyard, without eating or drinking, without sorrow or joy.

It wasn't until one day that Wen Wan squatted in front of him and wiped his hands and face with a hot towel, and then filled the ash stove with hot carbon and stuffed it under his feet, that he turned his head slowly and looked at Wen Wan with red eyes: "Just let me die." ”

Wen Wan sat next to him on a low stool: "The family is all spent on you, how expensive is it!" Don't die! ”

Mr. Wang lowered his head and held his gentle hand and cried, and only wiped his tears for a while and said: "My surname is Wang, my family has been wealthy since I was a child, I read poetry and books, and my ancestors were also one of the most famous people in Shuozhou City. ”

He had a far-reaching vision and recalled the past: "When I was seventeen years old, I met my wife, who was the number one in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. When I saw her, I knew what it meant to look back and smile. ”

Wen Wan didn't interject, waved her hand to call Lin Yuan, and sat next to him quietly listening to him.

"When I was young, I was hot-blooded and impulsive, and in order to be able to see her from time to time, I stole a lot of silver taels from my family. Later, she became pregnant with my child, and I was afraid that their mother and son would suffer, so I fell out with the family and took most of the furniture to ransom her. My family is thin, and I am the only one under my parents' knees, so I had high hopes. ”

Speaking of this, he pursed his lips, which seemed to be a little dry.

"When my wife gave birth to a child, I wanted to take my wife and children home to kowtow and admit my mistakes, recognize my ancestors, and return to my ancestors. When I arrived at the door, I realized that because I had married a prostitute, my family had endured ridicule and insults from the neighbors. Even my old grandmother was splashed with dung and water, and she lay down for three days without eating or drinking. He covered his face, tears pouring out of his eyes.

"My mother was so angry that she couldn't argue with people day and day, and she jumped into a well at night out of shame and embarrassment. When I came home, my father was disheartened, he had already sold his ancestral home, carried his baggage and left. Hot tears fell on his thin, sallow hands.

"In desperation, I could only lead my wife and children to rent a thatched hut in the countryside and make a living by teaching. But I didn't expect that within two years, she would have a difficult birth due to depression, leaving me with only a pair of children. ”

He clenched his hands into fists and pressed them tightly against his knees, like a weathered old tree, "I have to copy books and pick up work, and pull them up as a father and a mother." Maybe I did a sin in my last life, and I thought I would be able to save more after my child got married. But when I was sick in bed, they cursed me to death while rummaging through boxes and cabinets for my own money. ”

"The money has already been spent on them, where is the silver? The eldest daughter-in-law is still kind-hearted, and she gave me a bowl of water to drink every day and let me live. Later, they thought that I would not die, so the brothers simply carried me out of the door and threw me in the middle of the night. ”

Wen Wan and Lin Yuan looked at each other, and there was a chill in their hearts, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You have good intentions to save me. But I'm an ominous person, and I'll take you away! Mr. Wang sighed after speaking, trembling and trying to climb outside to find an old tree and hang him.

Wen Wan didn't follow, and forced him to pay off the medicine money he owed to her family before leaving. Seeing that Mr. Wang was hesitant with red eyes, Wen Wanqiang dragged him into the house, and bought him all the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, four books and five classics, so that he would be left behind.

was looking for a hope for him, but no one expected that in a few days, both Yuanbao and Ah Xian would let him teach him well.

Even if she went to audit, I have to say that Mr. Wang is very good at teaching according to his aptitude.

On this day, Mr. Wang just said: planting beans in the south of the mountain, the grass is full of beans and seedlings. Morningside is absurd, and the moon and lotus hoe return to these four sentences.

He said, "If you want to say that this Tao Yuanming is also a wonderful person, you see that he looks like he has so many bean seedlings in Nanshan, what is the result?" The grass is full of beans and sprouts! The bean seedlings did not grow weeds, but grew densely. Where is this honest farmer? It's obviously a dumbfounder! ”

But he was afraid that others would laugh at him, so he hurriedly made up for the absurdity of Morningside, and brought two sentences of moon and lotus hoe to clear his name. He said to the world: Look, anyway, I go out early and return late, pull weeds and water, and it depends on luck whether this bean seedling grows or not! ”

"But the argument of clever tongues has become a quatrain for thousands of years! It can be seen that in ancient times, everyone was by no means perfect people, they would be poor and lazy like us, but people are better in freedom, temperament, and vision. We should do the same, let him wind and rain, you might as well laugh at it, how so? ”

Not to mention the children in the house, even Wen Wan was smiling. Isn't that a funny gentleman?
