From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 234 It's Nice to Have a Sister

Because she is a woman and stays in the military camp all year round, Mei Xin never went to school, and Mei Zhannan alone asked her husband to teach her to read and write, but she knows that classmate friendship is different from other friendships.What's more, Sinan Academy is famous far and wide, and the people who can study in it are not only rich or noble, but also have real talents, and once these people pass the exam, they will definitely not be unknown people.

Mei Zhongkai will definitely go into an official career in the future, and it is actually beneficial to make more friends based on his current situation.Of course, she was just making suggestions and offering money, as for what he would do, that was his own business.

Literati like twists and turns, but her temperament is very straightforward.Therefore, she doesn't know how to deal with her classmates, and she can't help. She just hopes that he can understand her painstaking efforts and good intentions.

Looking at the two banknotes with a denomination of 100 taels in front of him, Mei Zhongkai was very happy from the bottom of his heart.Since Shangguan Xinrou had been the steward of Prince Liang's Mansion, they couldn't get any benefits.As for his father's salary, it's not enough for him to drink, let alone give him money.Therefore, Erfang has been living a tight life these years, and he himself is even more cash-strapped.

He is studying in the academy, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all on business trips, but he has to bear other expenses by himself.As Mei Xin said, when he grows up, he still wants to play with his friends on weekdays.It is very inconvenient to have no money in his pocket. Although his mother will subsidize him occasionally, it is too little, and it is just a drop in the bucket for him.

The capital Taiping, although things are more expensive than Liangzhou, but 200 taels of silver is a lot for him.Besides, he still has 50 taels of silver every month, so he can invite his friends to Ginkgo Street for two good meals.

His heart was moved and he felt that Mei Xin was very caring, not at all like what his grandmother said before.Taking the silver ticket with both hands and looking at it, Mei Zhongkai said gratefully: "Big sister really saved me. Every month, several of our classmates will have a party and go out for a meal. This month is just the turn Please, I wanted to ask my sister to borrow some money to save the emergency."

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is true. Moreover, he had already spent almost all his private money on the reservation.

Mei Xin laughed when she heard that, and then took out 200 taels and handed it to him, saying: "Since you are going to treat your friends to dinner, then simply treat them well. I heard that the restaurant on Gingko Street tastes very good, and 200 taels should be enough." Have you had a meal?"

"That's enough, that's enough, thank you big sister!" The Yinzi Meixin on the reservation table had already been returned to him, but his mother found out about it, and she wanted to leave immediately.

Reaching out his hand to take the bank note, Mei Zhongkai was overjoyed, and finally realized the love between siblings that his classmates and friends said.To be honest, having an older sister is really a very, very happy thing, and at this moment he also clearly found that Mei Xin was different from what he thought.

Although she is decisive in killing, she is not cold-blooded and ruthless. On the contrary, she is a person with a cold face and a soft heart.And she inherited the Mei family's love and righteousness, she is a deeply affectionate person.

It was rare to see a child-like smile on his face, not as mature and prudent as usual, Mei Xin said: "We are a family, thank you for everything. If you are short of money in the future, just tell me, and dare not tell me if you have more , Sister Qian still has a meal."

Yiyingtang alone needs a large sum of money every year, plus she knows that life is not easy, Mei Xin has always been very frugal.

Knowing Mei Xin's temper, Mei Zhongkai said: "Sister, don't worry, I will not be polite to her in the future. Sister, let's go out together when you feel better. The capital is prosperous, and I will show you around. Well, the taste of the food is good, but the snacks in the alleys are delicious. The vegetarian dishes of Baizhang Temple are also well-known, and there is a plum grove on the mountain behind the temple, which is very beautiful. When the weather gets colder, I will take it with me Sister, let's go admire the plum blossoms."

Speaking of the temple, remembering that tomorrow is the fifteenth day, Mei Zhongkai reminded: "Sister, my aunt will go to Baizhang Temple to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. If she doesn't show up tomorrow, people from the Shangguan family will definitely come to ask. If we find out by then, I’m afraid there will be trouble.”

The emperor had already arrested King Huai of Chu, sent over all the lost things and money, and said that the matter would stop here, which was tantamount to a gag order.If the Shangguan's family breaks out and exposes the matter, then it will be troublesome.

Besides, this matter is related to the reputation of Prince Liang's Mansion. Although Mei Xin doesn't care, he doesn't care, but it is also related to the royal family's face.If the emperor blames it, he will definitely be unable to eat and walk around.

Mei Xin had her own plans and plans, and said with a faint smile: "I see, I will take care of this matter, don't worry about it. It's getting late, and you have to get up early in the morning, go back and rest. The sky is not free, I will ask someone to buy some medicinal materials later, and I will give you and Guangjian a workout."

It was the prescription given by An's family, and because she was sick when she was a child and needed to practice martial arts to strengthen her body, An Qizheng's father specially gave the prescription to strengthen her muscles and bones in order to repay her kindness.This kind of prescription is best used when they are young. Although they are as old as they are, although it is useful, the effect will be greatly reduced. If it can exert [-]% of the effect of the medicine, it is considered very good.

Fifty percent is enough, as long as they insist on soaking for ten days and half a month, their martial arts will definitely improve to a higher level.

Mei Zhongkai is a martial arts practitioner, and he had heard about it before, but he didn't dare to act recklessly without a prescription. He was overjoyed: "I heard people say it a few years ago, but I didn't expect there to be a prescription. Sister , only for me and Guangjian, what about the other brothers?"

Mei Xin is not a stingy person, if she was stingy, she wouldn't give him money, and then she wanted to help him fight back.

There are a lot of herbs needed, and some of them are very expensive. Mei Xin didn't think too much about it for the time being. When she was asked suddenly, she thought about it and said: "You two are old enough to be your own masters. They are still young. This The matter needs to be approved by the aunts. You go to the club first, and if you don’t feel any discomfort, then you can talk to the aunts later.”

"The medicine is more domineering, so forget about my younger sisters. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear children. Besides, they don't want to go to the battlefield like me. Their martial arts are enough to protect themselves, so there's no need to force them."

It's not that I don't want to part with the money, but I don't want to be troublesome. The main reason is that I'm afraid of being blamed in the future. It's better to have one thing than one thing, which happens to save money.

Speaking of bad birth, Mei Zhongkai thought of something instantly, and asked with his mouth open: "Sister, you are also hurt because of this, and you will always..."

"No, I was injured. You may not know that veterans who come off the battlefield have hidden diseases, and these hidden diseases will show up as they get older. My father also has a bone ache when it rains on a cloudy day. This time I was seriously injured again, and I’m afraid it’s impossible to completely recover.”
