Chapter 704: Exercise (Part II)

Eleven Niang didn't pay attention to these, she was busy packing her luggage for Brother Jin'er.

"Don't bring any teacups, Buddha dust, or anything like that. Just bring some leather jackets, boots, and so on. Although Jiayuguan is remote, I believe that it is not a place where people are not inhabited, it is really lacking, just buy it locally. When he looked up, he saw that Brother Jin was holding a Ugin whip, and said, "These things are not allowed to be brought over." Show the trees in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. Even if you have the care of the Jiayuguan General Army, you must be able to live in peace with the people around you. The important thing is not to have a mind of superiority. I don't know how many talented and capable people have lost this proud temper. ”

"I see!" Brother Jin was a little reluctant, handed the horsewhip to Ah Jin and put it away.

Xu Lingyi came in: "Have you packed up all your things?" ”

"Packed up!" Eleven Niang said, remembering the personnel who accompanied Brother Jin to the northwest this time, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you let Changshun stay in Beijing?" He's still young, and it's too hard for the northwest......"

Changshun is nine years old this year, white and clean, with a slender figure, and there is no resemblance to Chang'an. Some stewards jokingly said that Changshun is a typical northerner and southerner.

"Let him go!" Xu Lingyi smiled, "I've already arranged it." When they went to Jiayuguan, they rented a courtyard outside the barracks to live, except for Brother Jin'er, the rest of the people lived there, and Brother Jin went over when he was bathing. This will not only allow Master Pang to continue to instruct him in martial arts, but also allow Mr. to check his homework. Usually there is nothing to do, just teach Chang'an and Liu Erwu their martial arts and homework, and Changshun can also learn a lot of knowledge if he follows. ”

Eleven Niang always felt that the lineup was too luxurious, like going on vacation rather than going to hardship. If it was usual, she would definitely mention Xu Lingyi euphemistically, but after Xu Lingyi gave Brother Jin the conditions, she felt that she was too careful. Xu Lingyi obviously had already made arrangements for these.

The two discussed some specific matters related to Brother Jin'er's trip, and went to Mrs. Tai's place together.

Mrs. Tai is flipping through the yellow calendar: "...... March 22 is a good day, but a few days later is the eighth day of the fourth month, anyway, it will not be a few days apart, it is better to worship the Bodhisattva and then leave, so that the Bodhisattva can bless the road safely, everything goes smoothly...... It was April 12...... Those who have just gone to offer incense to the Bodhisattva should rest for a few more days and set off again when their spirits are sufficient...... April 18...... April 24...... Let's go after April 26th......"

If this continues, there will not be a suitable day.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang glanced at each other helplessly.

"Mother, I think it's March 22." The second lady glanced at the two of them slightly, and said softly, "Jiayuguan is not like Yanjing, and it is divided into four seasons. Where they are, it's either cold or hot. It's best to walk at this time, and if it's late, it will get hot over there. It's not good if you get heat stroke on the road! ”

"Really?" In Mrs. Tai's memory, it has always been very cold over there, and she has to wear a jacket in June, but her memory is not as good as before, and she can't make up her mind, so she looks at Xu Lingyi suspiciously.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help coughing softly: "It's best to leave in March." "There are no positive negatives, and there are no affirmations.

"Mother, go early, you can come back early." The second lady looked at it and smiled, "Think about it, after your birthday, my brother can give you a birthday, how good!" ”

Mrs. Tai bowed slightly: "Okay, let's leave on March 22." Then he instructed Eleven Niang, "Since it's hot over there, remember to bring him a few more fans." Those remote places in Jiayuguan, where are there any good things to sell. ”

Eleven Niang smiled and should be.

Brother Jin smiled at the second lady.

Mrs. Tai asked carefully what clothes and utensils she had brought, and she did not do it until she yawned.

The second lady sent the two out of the house, took out a small carved red lacquer lotus box from her sleeve and handed it to Brother Jin: "It's a compass, you carefully store it, don't forget to dare to direction." ”

The implications are far-reaching.

I don't know if Brother Jin understood, so he thanked him with a smile as usual, and went back to the main house with Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang.

Over there, Fang Shi and Jiang Shi were sitting side by side on the kang and talking: "...... At first, I couldn't remember anything, so I found a place to fit the scene and pointed to those scenes and told him to memorize sentence by sentence, and now not only do I memorize poems fluently, but also tell me what this sentence means, what that sentence means. Fang's expression faintly revealed a bit of pride.

"Sister-in-law is so smart, how could she come up with such a method!" Jiang sighed while laughing, "I'll try it when I go back." Let's see if our family brother can memorize two more poems. He added, "Brother Ting only likes to eat fish, not meat, is there any good way for my sister-in-law?" ”

"Children, there is nothing you don't like to eat!" Fang Shi smiled, "Just look at what the mother-in-law on the stove does......"

The two exchanged parenting scriptures, and soon the sun turned westward. Jiang got up and took his leave. The Fang family didn't leave her behind, and after accompanying her to bid farewell to the third lady, he sent her to the car.

Jin came over: "What are the four brothers and sisters doing?" ”

"Cheer with me!" Fang Shi looked at Jiang's carriage and walked out of the alley, then turned around.

Kim was puzzled.

"The second brother and sister are the nieces of the second aunt, and the fifth brothers and sisters are the nieces of the fourth aunt, she is caught in the middle, and life is not easy." Fang explained, "If someone talks about gossip, their heart will be much better. ”

"The fourth brother and sister will not have too many hearts." Jin muttered, "The second sister-in-law will move out sooner or later, and the fifth uncle will not be in charge of the house, so what's wrong with her life?" ”

Fang smiled and didn't make a sound.

There are some things that Kim can't understand. Because she is the same as the second brother and sister and the fifth brother and sister, someone will naturally come forward if there is something......

* * * * * *

Jiang and Fang talked for a long time, and their mood was much better. When I returned home, I heard that Brother Jin would set off on March 22 to discuss what Cheng Yi would send to Xu Sichen.

"It's not an outsider, so there's no need to be so solemn." Xu Si smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll send him out of the city and quietly stuff a few hundred taels of silver into him." ”

"Is this appropriate?" Jiang hesitated, "I heard that the fifth uncle and the fifth brother and sister gave the sixth brother a copy of "Spring and Autumn". also jokingly said that the sixth uncle had the best to watch under the lamp! ”

Xu Sizhen smiled and didn't say more, but talked about the housework: "...... Weibei Hou married his daughter-in-law, did his mother say anything? ”

Jiang couldn't help frowning secretly.

Is it important for the Hou family in Weibei to marry a daughter-in-law or Cheng Yi for his brother?

"My mother said to send a pair of vases and a screen." She said lightly and brought the topic back again, "You say, how about we send a set of four treasures of the study?" The sixth uncle used it, and it would not make the fifth uncle too embarrassed. ”

"I heard that my mother put away all the things that my sixth brother usually played, and I didn't let him take any of them with her." Xu Si smiled and said, "I think, just send a box of pens." I'll give him some money in private. ”

Jiang felt that this was inappropriate.

"The fifth uncle only has the acres of land and real estate and the dowry of the five brothers and sisters when they got married, and the two sides add up, it is estimated that it is only two thousand taels of silver a year." She said implicitly, "If the gifts we give are too valuable, the fifth uncle and the fifth brother and sister are not like us, at least they are about the same." We sent too much, I'm afraid that the fifth uncle and the fifth brother and sister will be embarrassed! ”

"I know!" Xu Si smiled and said, "So I privately stuffed some silver to the sixth brother - among the brothers, our income is the most abundant, and Cheng Yi, who is the same as the fifth brother, is a little shabby." ”

But you can't send it so secretly!

Jiang is not good anymore.

If she continues to talk about it, I'm afraid that Xu Sizhen will misunderstand her reluctantly, and she has to compare herself with her uncles everywhere.

She sighed secretly in her heart, her heart was crossed, she simply didn't care, and took what she just said and said: "Mother's meaning, when the time comes, we will all go to Weibei Hou Mansion to eat and drink." ”

"Okay!" Xu Si smiled and said, "You also have two pieces of new jewelry that you haven't added, so it's better to take this opportunity to invite a goldsmith into the mansion to make jewelry!" Just eat and wear wine. ”

Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to think about how to handle the chores well!

"Let's wait until the sixth uncle is gone!" Jiang Shi was a little uninterested: "At this time, I mentioned it to my mother, I was afraid that it would make my mother unhappy." He added, "What happened to the last time I talked about opening a rice shop in Texas?" ”

Xu Sichen said with little interest: "Manager Bai sent a steward to Texas, and there will be no news until the end of March." But he was muttering in his heart: those maids and daughters-in-law were very happy to hear that there were new clothes to wear and new jewelry, and he was not very happy to see his wife these days, so he proposed to invite the goldsmith to come into the house to make jewelry, just to make her happy, but looking at her appearance, she looked very interested......

"Invest 100,000 taels of silver in one go, this is also a big deal." Jiang Shi said softly, "Xianggong also has to ask." You can't expect anything to be in charge. ”

"Daddy has to advocate for these things." Xu Sichen smiled when he heard this, "What's more, he doesn't care about things, so what does he do?" ”

"That being said, but Daddy handed over the chores to you, so you should take care of it. If you take care of more things, your father-in-law can take care of less things......" Jiang persuaded softly, Xu Sizhen's heart was no longer on this.

My wife always likes to let him take care of this and that......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

* * * * * *

On March 22, Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie kept sending Brother Jin out of Shilipu. Brother Jin gave Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie a very solemn salute: "Daddy and mother will entrust the two brothers!" ”

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it. You are, be careful along the way......" Xu Sizhen said, stuffing a purse into him when Xu Si was not paying attention, and said in a low voice, "Spare in a hurry." ”

Brother Jin smiled, said thank you, and quickly stuffed his purse into his sleeve: "If the fourth brother and the fifth brother are free, come to Jiayuguan to play!" ”

"Definitely, definitely." Xu Si smiled and waved to Brother Jin.

Brother Jin rode away.

Master Pang and the others hurriedly caught up, leaving a billowing yellow smoke.

Xu Sijie couldn't help but sigh: "The sixth brother's horse is really good!" There was a hint of envy in his tone.
