Poor children

Chapter 26

一
"What books are you reading these days?" Master Sanyang was very happy when he saw that the poor boy brought him food again.
"Back to Master, the poor boy is reading thirteen poems from Mr. Wu Liu's "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" recently."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"My disciple really likes the tenth song among the thirteen.

Jingwei holds Weimu in the title, and will fill the sea.

Xing Tianwu is a dry soul, and his fierce ambition is always there.

The same thing is not to worry about, and it will never be regretted.

It's just a matter of time and again, good times are waiting for you!
This is very consistent with my disciple’s thoughts, persevere, never change my original intention, persevere and believe in the future!The things mentioned in these poems are really novel, and I really want to know more about them."

"Okay! Okay!" the Taoist priest said

"Does anyone have a master of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"? The poor boy has not read it yet."

"In the past seven years, you have read most of my teacher's collection of classics and history, and you have made great progress. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is very good for you to read, but my teacher only has some chapters of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. You should take it and read it first. As for the complete copy, it is not impossible to obtain it if you have the chance."

Time flies, the poor boy has been studying with the Taoist priest for seven years, he has read a lot, and he has learned most of the Taoist priest's skills, and now I see that this girl is not as fleshy as she was when she was young, she is taller Many people, and a very slim figure, although the clothes are rough, it can't hide the nobleness, and the eyebrows are handsome and heroic. It is said that her mother is a beauty that is rare in a century, but the poor child is more beautiful than her mother by a thousand percent

The master and the apprentice were talking together, and the Taoist priest explained the "Shan Hai Jing" to the poor boy in detail. The poor boy was very fascinated by what he heard. Before he knew it, it was almost dinner time, and the poor boy could only go back to the palace with great reluctance.

The kitchen was a little busy today. I heard that Mr. Kan and the old lady brought their servants over for a visit. After dinner, everyone in the kitchen gradually dispersed. The poor man turned off the stove and saw that she was the only one left in the kitchen. One person turned off the lights and went out of the corner door to go to the residence. It was the darkest night. The poor boy fumbled back with his memory. When he saw that he was about to enter the courtyard door, he didn't know what he kicked. The poor boy was inertia. She fell to the ground and hit her elbow on the step. She frowned in pain and clutched her arm tightly, not daring to move.
At this time, he suddenly felt something moving at his feet. The poor man was startled and hurriedly stepped back, but saw that the thing seemed to be motionless again. The poor man slowly moved forward to check, and it turned out that he had tripped under his feet just now. He looks about the same age as her
"Hey! Are you okay? Why are you lying here? Are you...are you still alive?" Paoer called him desperately

"water……"

"Ah?" Hearing the man say something weakly, the poor boy put his ear to his mouth and listened carefully.

"Water...water...water..." The man looked very weak.
When the pauper heard that he wanted water, he hurried back to the kitchen to get a bowl of water and poured it into him slowly.

"hungry!"

"You wait." The poor girl went to the kitchen again. In the kitchen was the leftover scallop and mackerel porridge that the host had eaten this morning. She filled half a bowl of porridge. When she went out, she saw steamed buns in the steamer on the table at the door and took two more.

When I came back, I saw that the man had regained some energy. He was half-leaning on the edge of the steps. Pao'er handed him the porridge. The man took the bowl and drank it in three sips, then stared at the steamed bun in Pao'er's hand.
After two steamed buns were eaten, the man looked much better. He sat up straight and said nothing.

"Who are you?" Paoer asked

"Tiedan" the man replied, "Your name is Tiedan? Where are you from?"

"My family lives in Huangjia Village outside the city."

"Why are you sleeping here?"

"My mother went out with my father half a month ago, but he came back alone. My father likes to eat, drink, and gamble. Three days ago, he went out to gamble again and has not come back. There was no food in my house, so I wanted to come to the city to look for my father, but... I don’t know where he is. I felt so hungry when I walked here today. I don’t know how he fainted.”

"Then where did your mother go?" Pao'er asked

"I don't know. My father didn't tell me. I asked a few more questions and he beat me severely. Now my father is nowhere to be found." Tiedan arrived.
"It's just that it's not good for you to be out alone at this late night. You'd better go home while the city gate is not closed. Maybe your father has already gone home. If he can't see you at home, he will be anxious." The son has arrived
Tiedan nodded and stood up to leave, but suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground again.
When the poor boy saw this, he took out a piece of osmanthus candy from his purse and put it in Tiedan's mouth, "I'm afraid you've been hungry for too long. My brother gave me this candy. You'll gain strength after eating it."

After Tiedan finished eating the candy, he got up and said goodbye to the poor boy and went home.

The third madam has lived in Baiyun nunnery these days. The third madam has been wanting to have a boy for seven years, but Mrs. An always said that there is no suitable pregnant woman.

A few years ago, Mr. An's wife, Mrs. Jiang, gave birth to a pair of twins. Mr. An wanted to accumulate virtue for his children and grandchildren and did not want to harm other people's lives. However, these three ladies were unwilling to give in. He was really stubborn and could only grit his teeth and agree.
There is a gambler named Huang in Huangjia Village outside the city. He doesn't do anything serious on weekdays. The family relies on his wife to make sewing for others. If the family has a little money, it will definitely be taken away by this man. He eats, drinks and gambles. If he loses in gambling, He took it out on his wife, so others called him Huang Chong
This yellow insect has a son named Tiedan, who is twelve years old.

Master An heard that Huang Chong's wife was pregnant again and was about to give birth, so he sent someone to give him some money, bought his wife and kept him in the secret room of Baiyun Nunnery, and planned to use the blood of her mother and child to use magic to have a child.

In the old lady's room in the east courtyard of the palace

One morning, someone from Jinling old lady's natal family sent a letter. Ever since she read the letter, the old lady has been depressed, and she didn't answer any questions. It was not until the prince came back at noon that she heard that the old lady was ill and came to pay her respects. Then the old lady explained the reason.
Several princes in the court have been fighting overtly and covertly for the throne. One prince lost power in the struggle and was imprisoned by the emperor. The old lady's cousins ​​originally supported this prince. Since this prince is the emperor's own son, he is not guilty. If he dies, the emperor will kill the old lady's cousin as a warning to others. The old lady's cousin and several sons with official positions have been taken to the execution ground and beheaded. The rest of the family will be sent to the bitter cold land of Mobei, and all the servants will take it. sell off

The whole family was gone. The wife of the family asked someone to bring a letter. There was only one granddaughter in his family, who was still young. The family did not want her to go to Mobei and suffer, so they wrote to the old lady to ask for help.

"Son! Your cousin loved you the most when he was a child. Now something happened in the family and all the men have been beheaded. Now they are writing to ask for help. They just want to save their granddaughter's life. Can we help them?" The old lady wiped her tears and said
"Of course we will help if we can, but the emperor is very angry. If we don't do it properly, I'm afraid we will also suffer a lot of disaster." The prince arrived
"We need to find a way to have both ends, and leave her alone no matter what." After the old lady said this, the two of them fell into deep thought.

"How about you get married?" the old lady said
"Mom, what did you say?"

"Marry her! Don't tell her whose family she belongs to. Secretly bribe the police officer who escorted her to Mobei and let her out secretly. Just say that she got sick on the road and bring her home. If you take over the house, no one will ask. "

"Mom! How old is she? How can I marry her?"

"A side room, who cares about you so much..."
