Chapter 142: Let You Go to School (Two Chapters in One)
It doesn't matter if it's ten or not, the orders passed down from above will never go wrong anyway.
The guards remembered that they were told to give the two women a wooden tube of rice.
After he gave the two wooden barrels to Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin, he saluted the deputy general Shan Shao with his free hand. After the military salute, he waved again, and the commander called away the two Erdaohe boys: "You two go with me to get the bread."
And this Shi'an introduced to Mrs. Xu, who was full of doubts, "This is General Shan."
Mrs. Xu hugged the hot wooden barrel and couldn't salute, so she hurriedly said politely:
"Look at us, we really caused trouble to the soldiers, and I didn't expect to alarm the general.
I heard that Huo Jiajun has always traveled lightly and simply, and everyone must have carried a certain amount of military rations.
Eating and chewing are not obvious in the city, but they are very precious along the way.
Our group has already borrowed light to have a place to settle in this kind of weather, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is a rare blessing in our lives to meet Huo Jiajun."
Otherwise, their goods will be soaked if they don't do well, and people don't know what it will be, which is called that there are no village people everywhere, and the people in the village got together before and said that they were really lucky.
"I didn't expect the general to come late at night, and he was still worried about such a trivial matter as filling our stomachs and hunger, and saved us from the rations of military rations."
But in fact, they don't have to, they really have food.
When Mrs. Xu should be calculating, she is absolutely unambiguous in terms of bargaining and living a good life.
But right now, she feels that she shouldn't be calculating, and she shouldn't hide her heart from people anymore thinking that she can save a little.
She has a problem, that is, if you want to pick and choose with me, then don't blame me for being more calculating than you, who is not smarter than whom?
But if anyone treats her with her heart, she can't control the sincerity in her bones with the power of the wilderness, and she will put herself in the other party's shoes.
Huo Jiajun used to send hot stones to their group and used horse grass to feed mules and cows.
This time, I was even more afraid that they would be hungry, so I saved food from my mouth and gave it to the people.
If it is said that Mrs. Xu was a modern person before, even if there was Zhao Dashan's information output that the Huo family army was good, then she was not so completely optimistic about the ancient army.
After all, I've heard that here and modern times are two different things. I heard that there were big soldiers here who were casually reveling three days before the war, or the main general sent a message to let them revel, and then those people seemed to have no good thoughts before they died, but they were so energetic that they harmed the common people.
But through these few things, Mrs. Xu finally understood why Huo Jiajun's reputation was so good this time.
The style of the Huo family army is indeed different from that of other city garrisons.
In the future, she only hopes that such soldiers with good style will win battles for a long time.
Now holding the hot rice bucket, I can't wait to say to the general who is visiting late at night: We want to give you a bowl of thin noodles to send auspiciousness.
Mrs. Xu said honestly: "General, in fact, the grass people have brought food, like noodles, cakes and pickles, and I dare to say that I have never brought such a sum when I went out this time. We went out this time to help people buy. Even if you help people buy, you can also take care of everything you need to eat, wear, and cover."
Yes, yes, Liu Laozhu nodded again and again from the side and wanted to tell him that even the thirst-quenching fruits were carried with a few bags, pears were pears, apples were apples, and there were grapes and oranges in the field core.
If something really happens, they are not afraid of running out of water to drink than Huo Jiajun.
And there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, and maybe even what we have, you don't have it.
Helplessly, General Shan and Shi'an didn't even give Liu Laozhu a look, and he didn't dare to interject casually.
Shan Shao always looked at Mrs. Xu and thought: No wonder a low-level farmer can teach such an excellent Xu Youtian.
Shi'an thought to himself: Grandma Xu can really say it, it is indeed different from the people she has seen.
Shi'an believes that he is by no means prejudiced against the countrymen, but through contact with the people at the bottom, he found that because of the difference in identity, sometimes normal inquiries will make many people panic, and before they can wait for anything, some people kneel and kowtow nervously, wanting to ask something and can't even understand a word.
It's inappropriate to say that a gourd like a saw-beaked gourd is really used for eating.
And Grandma Xu gave him the feeling that he was like supporting his family by talking.
How can you speak like that?
Listen, just a few words can thank their hearts, understand the difficulties of their shortage of materials on the road, and see that each of them rations can be said.
After speaking, he told them very sincerely that he lacked nothing, and that he didn't take it for granted and would only be more moved, don't look at the fate of only one side, and anyone can feel that this is a lady with a good character.
What's more, his son is still very impressed in the heart of their young master.
The young master of their family has seen too many people all year round, and it is too difficult to register in his heart, which shows that he is excellent.
Shan Shao glanced at Xu Tianxin, who had been standing quietly beside him with a wooden barrel, and suddenly changed the topic and asked Mrs. Xu: "When the windmill turned over, I saw that your granddaughter was very stable, but she was not squeamish at a young age, and she heard that she could help effectively after going up the mountain. Temporarily living in the cave, I just saw that she has arranged it for everyone properly, can you be literate?"
When he spoke, he looked at the bedding of this group, originally hoping to find words to lead to literacy, but he did not expect to find that the limited number of hot stones, straw, bedding and clothing were indeed properly distributed.
At the bottom was a tarpaulin, on which was straw, followed by a hot stone, and the old bedding was pressed against the hot stone.
The quilt is not enough to cover, and some people use old clothes to cover their knees and shoulders, and there is a large piece of oilcloth left unused next to it, presumably leaving it for everyone to cover when they lie down.
The place near the entrance of the cave is not only filled in and dug in advance, it should be afraid that the rain will flow into the hole, but also a pile of wine jars are stacked to cover the seal, worrying that it will be inconvenient for people to enter back and forth, and only a small part of it will be covered for fear of causing trouble to the soldiers. The people who lived near the entrance of the cave had a few tall sacks at their feet, and a closer look revealed that they had made a small rectangular world for their dwellings.
At this time, there were two oil lamps on the cover, and they actually had oil lamps.
Inexplicably a little warm, unlike them who are soldiers who sleep with their eyes closed against the wall, get up and move their legs and feet to roast the fire when they are cold, and sleep again when they are sleepy.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect this general to talk about idleness, aren't we just polite? But she has never been modest when it comes to her granddaughter.
"Don't tell you the truth, my granddaughter is literate, and I came out to buy this time thanks to bringing her to help calculate the account and write a note, so there is no mess."
Liu Laozhu finally interjected, but remembering the incident between him and Brother Lei, his knees were still weak and a little nervous, and he only blushed and interjected: "It's not what's wrong."
"Oh? Is there a gentleman in the village?"
Mrs. Xu smiled:
"General Hui, no, our poor and remote people have to go to the town for several hours, and there are not many students who study.
But fortunately, she is still quite smart, first when I was a child, when the eldest son in my family was still alive, she was only four or five years old and was taught by her father to recognize a lot of words, and at that time she could describe a few decently.
Later, my eldest son was gone, but fortunately, there was still a barefoot man in the village who was literate, and our child from Liu Lizheng's family was studying in the academy. The children of the Li Zheng family always borrowed books from her to read.
Now that I have been accumulating over the years, I will be able to know what I should know, but what I write still needs to be practiced."
Mrs. Xu smiled and thought: When you make money, you can provide a big white paper with great energy, and then don't let your granddaughter write with that sand, let's start practicing.
Anyway, sooner or later, her granddaughter will be both civil and military, and she will also fly needles and threads on human skin that is rare in this era, so why be modest.
The real daughter can't hide it.
Liu Laozhu listened from the sidelines, moved and wondered in his heart.
The sister of the Xu family is really interesting, and in such a nervous mood, she can not forget to put some gold on his face when she replies to the official words.
As far as his child's misfortune is concerned, he is as blessed as the Dead Sea, and his longevity is longer than that of an epiphany, can he still teach Tian Xin'er? If that's the case, the ancestral grave of the old Liu family will be smoking.
However, the borrowed book has been borrowed recently, and it must be the one who teaches Tian Xin to close the treasure chest.
Shan Shao looked at Xu Tianxin and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
Girls have an upward heart.
Xu Tianxin squatted down slightly holding the rice bucket
"Thank you, sir."
The two silly boys who happened to take the cake came back, and Shan Shao left a sentence: "Eat it while it's hot, and go to bed early." No matter how heavy the rain is, whatever happens in the mountains, we can rest assured that we are here."
After saying that, he didn't stay anymore and left.
In Mrs. Xu's eyes, the visit and inspection of Xiangji ended.
Xu Tianxin wondered: Why is the wooden barrel rice only for her and her milk accurate? Like her third uncle, he can only eat cakes and take care of ladies?
Although she has been taken care of by Huo Jiajun since she went up the mountain, like Shi'an and that Uncle Lai, she can feel that she doesn't take the people seriously, if she really encounters any difficulties, as long as she tells them, they will try their best to help solve it.
But Xu Tianxin always felt that Shi'an's expressions were different from before when he looked at her and her grandmother again this time. Even the general just now was also very kind, and even looked at them with a filter, as if he was looking at her and her. It's a bit of a hard exaggeration.
"Milk, don't you think it's weird?"
"What's weird?"
"As far as General Shan praised me, I obviously didn't do anything, so why did I fall into my eyes. We are again favored by others, but he praises me in turn."
Mrs. Xu said in a natural tone, "Mom, what else do you want to do? This is not blowing, no matter where my granddaughter goes, her temperament is different from other girls, if you don't believe it, ask your third uncle."
moved his butt and approached Xu Tianxin and bit his ear: "You are outstanding in our metropolis in modern times, let alone here, what is there to wonder."
As a modern person, when I came to ancient times, I still had some psychological superiority.
Mrs. Xu has it.
If it weren't for the shackles on her head, she would always remind herself that the people here are not stupid, and don't take anyone for stupidity. At most, people here see the world less and react slowly, so if you think about it for a while, you can think it through, and no one is really stupid. There was a granddaughter beside her, and she always reminded herself not to make a big fuss, because cutting off her head here is like chopping a chicken, otherwise she will be more happy.
Mrs. Xu thinks: What's more, her granddaughter's flowers under the nine-year compulsory education, wearing a red scarf and doing recess exercises, and the first batch of Communist Youth League members, and then graduated from university with a master's degree in the party, wearing a white coat to round the room, often writing some papers without pen and paper, what PPA or APP are used.
Xu Tianxin was speechless after hearing this, and came again.
Her are like this forever.
always thinks that she is hungry, she is cold, she is thin, and she is the second most beautiful in the world.
The first beauty is grandma, and to say that her beauty is to follow grandma.
So it's not wise to talk to your grandmother about her.
Xu Tianxin thought to himself: Anyway, he has nothing to worry about, so he is no longer suspicious.
gave himself a bowl full of hot wooden barrel rice, and stuffed the rest to Uncle Xu.
Xu Youcang sandwiched the meat slices to Xu Tianxin again.
"Salty, third uncle."
Xu Youcang gave up at this time, but scooped out another bowl of rice from the barrel and handed it to Liu Laozhu. When he came to him, there was only a bucket of bread left to eat.
Liu Laozhu took the job and was moved again, this kid didn't say that he had him in his heart.
Liu Laozhu was holding a bowl and wanted to sit next to Mrs. Xu to eat.
After today's various things, admit your shortcomings.
He wanted to discuss with Mrs. Xu, and it was best for Mrs. Xu to take the lead in the future for the things that needed to be brought forward in the village, and he would get it if he obeyed the order.
If the sister is not a woman, the official government will not let the woman be the right, to be honest, he really wants to be virtuous, and always feels that if the sister is the right, their village can be more popular in the town and county. In short, in the future, where the girl pointed, he would get it. He is worry-free when he is a nominal person.
Mrs. Xu still remembers the previous "hatred". It's nothing, I don't know how to grasp the opportunity, so I still want to make a good impression on the people above?
The most important thing is that she tried to take her granddaughter out to block the words, she rolled her eyes obviously, her eyes are the window of the soul, needless to say, look for yourself.
Liu Laozhu saw it, so he didn't dare to come forward. I thought: This big white eye rolls, like those snobbish shopkeepers who think he can't afford it, how much they dislike him
。
And Mrs. Xu's share of rice, she only ate half a bowl and gave it to the other boys in the village.
In the evening, just eat some, and it's best not to eat salty. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to use Huo Jiajun to pick and carry water and spend firewood to boil water. Just dip it all and order this rice pad to pad your belly.
"It's so fragrant, auntie, they are bacon, and the intestines you make are not the same."
Everyone spoke in an air voice, for fear of affecting the rest of the soldiers inside.
Speaking of intestines, Mrs. Xu suddenly remembered the ones that she had burst onto, and thought that she couldn't eat Huo Jiajun's rations tomorrow morning. They finish their meals first, and they won't deliver them.
"Even if the rain doesn't stop tomorrow morning, we can't leave, we all get up early to help fetch water, so as not to get in the way of setting up this stall, I'll cook noodles and eat."
At the same time, in one of the military tents outside the cave, Shan Shaozheng instructed Shi'an: "Go back and wait for the family to come here, and you want to run a women's school, you remind me."
He has too many things to do every day, and he is afraid that he will not remember some small things after a while.
Shi An immediately understood that the single deputy general should want to get the granddaughter of the Xu family into the women's school.
Huo Jiajun attaches great importance to the children of military families, regardless of whether they are senior officials or small soldiers, as long as they are regular soldiers of the Huo Family, all the children in the family are taught by the good teachers funded by the Huo family. In addition to the basic Four Books and Five Classics, the boys in the family also have riding and archery and fanyu, and the women's foundation is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery, cooking, pharmacology and simple bandaging.
The old lady of the Huo family once said that the Jiangmen Tiger Girl is by no means a greenhouse flower, and she also attaches great importance to women's practice.
And if the girl of the Xu family wants to enter this kind of school, she will listen to the deputy general and take the quota of his family.
Shan Shao really thinks so, he will ventilate with his wife in advance, and then he will also ask his daughter to bring more children from the Xu family, so as not to be bullied.
