The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 83 Sister and Brother 1
Mai Xiang glanced at her coldly: "The shares that welcome guests belong to me, and they have been filed with the government! I said it was my money, and it is my money. If you are not willing, you can Go to the Yamen and sue me for disobedience!"

To deal with this kind of person, Mai Xiang has no more patience.

In fact, from Qinghe County to the northwest, Fahrenheit had already exhausted her patience.On the way, there was Situ Changfeng, the big Buddha, so Fahrenheit had some scruples and didn't dare to go too far.However, as soon as Situ Changfeng left, Fahrenheit reverted to his old ways, scolding Mai Xiang at every turn, and Mai Xiang couldn't bear it any longer!

When she came to Luhuawan, in order not to make the villagers laugh, she tried her best to avoid being alone with Fahrenheit.Because, when Fahrenheit is alone with her, he always scolds her and laughs at her wishful thinking, saying that Situ Changfeng's parents will definitely not allow him to marry her, so tell her to be honest and don't expect Situ Changfeng will support her.

Although I only said this once, it was enough!
Mai Xiang's heart was so cold that it was hard to keep warm anymore.

From then on, Fahrenheit was just the biological mother of her younger siblings to her.For the sake of her younger brothers and sisters, she will maintain superficial respect for Fahrenheit, and she will never be able to do it again if she wants to be as affectionate as before.

She is not a person who is willing to wrong herself.

Seeing that the mother and daughter met again, Liang Gaoshan glared at his wife, "What are you trying to do? If it wasn't for Mai Xiang, our family would have starved to death during the severe drought! If it wasn't for Mai Xiang Otherwise, Pinellia would not have the chance to go to school, and we might still live in dilapidated thatched huts! Without Maixiang, we would definitely not be able to survive this flood! Such a good and filial daughter, you But to her like this, what do you want to do? Don’t you think that life is too good, and you want to go back to your mother’s house for a long time?! If you want, I’ll let someone write you a divorce letter , you go back to your natal family!"

The more Liang Gaoshan talked, the more excited he became, his eyes almost popped out.

How did this woman become like this?In the past, when there was no separation, the whole family lived a miserable life without any dignity.At that time, she was kind to Mai Xiang and knew that she loved her daughter.How come life is good, but it is outrageous?

Fahrenheit shouted sharply: "If it weren't for her, how could our family immigrate to the Northwest, and how could we become a military household? Now it's all over, our family will go to the battlefield for generations, and it will be impossible for us. Dead man! Hey, my poor Pinellia, poor Coptis chinensis!
Not to mention the two of them, Ban Xia is not yet 15 years old, and in a few days, you will be on the battlefield!If something happens to you, wouldn't I be a widow?Hey, it's all caused by this dead girl, and it's all because of her indiscretion, otherwise how could such a disaster be caused? !You old man, you are still facing her, she made you go to the battlefield to die! "

At this moment, Ban Xia couldn't bear it any longer, and blurted out: "Elder Sister has already obtained General Zhao's consent, and she will join the army tomorrow instead of her father!"

As soon as these words came out, the room became eerily quiet.

Fahrenheit looked surprised, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.

Liang Gaoshan slapped his thigh vigorously, squatted on the ground, put his head in his hands, and said sadly: "It's all because of me, it's useless to ask my daughter to join the army for my father, it's because of my incompetence as a father, I want my daughter to worry about me !"

Thinking of what his wife said just now, his heart was filled with rage, and he jumped up suddenly, staring at Fahrenheit angrily: "You stupid woman, is there anyone like you? Mai Xiang is such a good child, so good Son, where are you going to find it? I’m afraid you can’t find such a good child in Rongguo! Why are you not satisfied?!”

As soon as Chang's legs softened, she fell to the ground and looked at Mai Xiang with a sad face: "My child, although you are born with supernatural powers, you are so young and not tall. If you go to the battlefield , when you meet those tall and powerful Huns, you are no match for them at all!"

Mai Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to support Chang: "Grandma, don't worry, under normal circumstances, I don't need to go to the battlefield. General Zhao promised me to go to the gun shop and help them make weapons! Guns So, it's in the barracks, it's very safe!"

Chang's face was full of tears: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Mai Xiang: "Grandma, why am I lying to you? I don't think too hard about it. Why go to the battlefield to die? I'm only 15 years old, and I'm so tall. If I go to the battlefield, don't I go to die?"

Chang's: "But, how could General Zhao agree to let you go to that gun shop?"

Mai Xiang: "Grandma, do you still remember? I made a five-shot crossbow and dedicated it to General Fang in the capital, so General Fang supported us so that Tong Jin would not dare to interfere with Banxiake. The matter of the exam. Otherwise, how do you think Ban Xia will be admitted to the scholar smoothly?"

Chang's: "This five-shot crossbow is a very powerful weapon?"

Mai Xiang: "Of course, it is really powerful, more powerful than any weapon in the world! So, I made a great contribution, General Zhao listened to me, and then agreed to let me go to the gun shop to develop New weapons!"

Chang asked worriedly: "So, can you develop a new weapon?"

Mai Xiang: "Grandma, I have already developed a crossbow with ten rounds. When I go hunting this time, the wild boars will be killed by the crossbow with ten rounds! Situ Changfeng has already brought the crossbow with ten rounds. I went to the capital with the blueprint, and I believe it will not be long before I will be handed over the application for merit. By the way, General Zhao also said that as soon as I enter the barracks, I will be given the position of a sixth-rank school lieutenant. Let's do it!"

Chang smiled with tears in her eyes: "Okay, that's good! My granddaughter is amazing, she's a good guy!"

Liang Gaoshan hugged his head, squatted on the ground, and cried loudly.

Although my daughter doesn't have to go to the battlefield for the time being, she has enlisted in the army after all, but who knows what will happen in the future?If there is a big war, the people in the gun shop may not be able to escape the end of going to the battlefield.

Under Ban Xia's dissatisfied gaze, Hua's face was full of embarrassment.

Ban Xia hurriedly helped her father sit on the chair, and comforted her patiently: "Father, you don't have to worry too much! Brother Situ once promised that within a year, he would help our family take over our status as a military household. By then , Elder Sister can come home instead of staying in the barracks!"

Ban Xia has long seen that the eldest sister is unwilling to stay in the same house with her mother, and has long wanted to go out to live.Therefore, this time the eldest sister wanted to join the army for her father and go to the gun shop to make weapons, so he didn't object.

Forget it, let the elder sister leave the house for a while and calm down.After Eldest Sister left, Mother might understand what Eldest Sister meant to this family.Without the big sister's home, can we still have the cheerful and down-to-earth feeling before?
The answer is definitely no.When the mother realizes this, she will definitely make a change and treat the elder sister better.

Tomorrow, Mai Xiang will go to the barracks.

Without saying a word, Liang Gaoshan went to the kitchen to make noodles, intending to make another dumpling for his daughter.Chang also quickly wiped away her tears and followed her to the kitchen.Mai Xiang also wanted to go, but was dragged away by Ban Xia: "Sister, you are going to the barracks tomorrow, so take a good rest today!"

Licorice also hurriedly said: "Sister, go and rest, I will go to the kitchen to help!"

Fu Ling also hurriedly said obediently: "There is also me, I will also go to the kitchen to help, there must be enough people!"

Huang Lian reached out to pull Mai Xiang's skirt: "Sister, I don't know a few words, please teach me!"

Mai Xiang nodded kindly: "Okay, let's go!"

So I took my younger brother, Huang Lian, to the study shared by the siblings.

Pinellia followed closely behind.

Pinellia went to the city to study. Licorice, Poria and Coptis were all enlightened by Maixiang.In order to arouse the younger siblings' interest in reading, Mai Xiang also specially produced books with illustrations, which really aroused the great interest of the younger siblings in reading.

Mai Xiang's teaching is very lively and interesting. Huang Lian likes this sister teaching him to read very much. He is even interested in licorice and Poria cocos.Today, Licorice and Poria cocos have already learned the "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Family Poems".Among women, the two can be considered educated people.

Came to the study, answered Huang Lian's questions, and taught him to write a few big characters.Mai Xiang just sat down at the tea table and said to Ban Xia: "What do you want to tell me?"

Ban Xia looked at her and said seriously: "Sister, I asked Uncle Leng, and he said that if I pass the Juren, our family can be released from the status of a military household. Don't worry, even if Brother Situ is unreliable, I will work harder and harder to pass the Juren exam!"

Mai Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll wait and see! From today on, don't worry about the things in the field, study hard, and try to pass the Juren exam before the age of 15." Otherwise, when he turns 15, he will I went to join the army.

There is no way, Liang Gaoshan is not over 50 years old, so he has to join the army.Moreover, Pinellia is not the only child, there is also a coptis.Therefore, if Banxia has not passed the Juren examination, even at the age of 15, it is difficult to escape the fate of joining the army.

Ban Xia nodded vigorously: "Sister, don't worry, there are few scholars in the Northwest, when the time comes, I might be able to get a Jie Yuan in the senior high school list!"

Mai Xiang nodded: "Well, as long as you keep working hard and don't become complacent, I believe you will be able to get Jie Yuan in high school!" Jie Yuan is the number one candidate.

There are few scholars in the northwest, and there is not a single scholar in the entire Luhuawan.Otherwise, Leng Dong would not be so happy after knowing that Ban Xia is a scholar.

Pinellia: "Uncle Leng said that after the school is finished, he will let me be a teacher. One month, I will give you five taels of silver."

Mai Xiang nodded: "Okay, yes, there is no problem. However, I suggest that you charge two taels of silver and only take half a day of class a day. In the morning, you review and prepare for the exam by yourself; in the afternoon, take an hour and a half class."

Ban Xia readily agreed: "Okay, I understand, I will tell Uncle Leng."

In fact, he thought so too.However, he was very happy that the elder sister could take the initiative to bring it up and consider him so much.In the morning, when memory and energy are strongest, it is natural to use it to review homework.

For two taels of silver a month, you can invite a talented master to be your teacher. I believe Uncle Leng and the villagers will be very happy.

Mai Xiang stood up: "I'll come as soon as I go, just wait a moment."

She went to her bedroom, and soon came back with a purse: "Here is 500 taels of silver, you keep it for emergency use, I will live in the military camp during this period, and I will not come home for the time being. If you encounter If something difficult to decide, you can go to the barracks to find me!"
