From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 46 Mei Jingxing

Startled in my heart, I was taken aback for a moment, and Zhao Shanzhang said as if he had just been dazed: "Yes, yes, practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, and I want to learn like the children."

"Then let's start today. Two meals of porridge and two pancakes a day." After finishing speaking, Mei Xin looked at the head cook in the kitchen and said, "I brought some fresh pork, as well as beef and mutton, for the children to eat in the evening." Let's make dumplings."

Dumplings in sour soup is her favorite, but she hasn't had it for a long, long time.In the past, during the Chinese New Year, her father would take her and her brother to pack together. In a blink of an eye, the family hadn't cooked together for a long time.

The leading cook, surnamed Du and named Juan, was about 25 years old. Her husband died in battle three years ago, leaving them orphans and widows.Because the livelihood was difficult and she couldn't live on, she had to go to Yiyingtang to ask for an errand to do.It just so happened that I ran into Mei Xin that day, thinking that she was not easy and cooked well, so I let her into the kitchen.And her son and daughter also followed into Yiying Hall.

When the daughter grows up, she can take care of the children, while the son goes to school with other children every day when he is still young.To be honest, two pancakes and two bowls of porridge are really not enough to eat, especially since her son has just turned ten years old and wakes up hungry every midnight.

Overjoyed and grateful, Du Juan knelt down with tears in his eyes and said: "The major general is kind, and the women on behalf of the children thank the major general!"

It was just a meal of dumplings, she didn't expect her to react like this at all, Mei Xin hurriedly bent down to help her up and said: "Sister-in-law is serious, it's because we didn't do it well enough, so we ignored it. How about it, from now on in the kitchen All the things are handed over to the sister-in-law, and the key to the granary is also given to the sister-in-law. The sister-in-law can decide what the children eat every day. The only thing is that no matter whether the food is good or bad, the children must be full."

The generals of the Mei family all come from Yiyingtang, as well as the hidden guards. If they are deprived of food and let them not have enough to eat, how can they have the strength to learn their skills.How will you go to the battlefield if you can't learn the skills well, and how will you work for the Mei family and the country in the future.Therefore, Zhao Shanzhang's actions not only made her angry but also disappointed her. His vision was undoubtedly too short-sighted.

Du Juan was suddenly entrusted with an important task, as if he had been hit by gold, and he was overjoyed and grateful: "The major general trusts the civilian woman, and the civilian woman must do a good job. I will never disappoint the major general's trust in the civilian woman. I will let the children eat it." Dress warmly."

Tears welled up in Du Juan's eyes, and Du Juan knelt down to Mei Xin again, grateful, grateful to Dade.

Mei Xin had suffered from hunger before, and knew that it was not easy for the women in Yiying Hall, so she bent down again and helped Du Juan up with her own hands, and said: "I am relieved to have a sister-in-law, please be busy, I will go to look elsewhere .”

With a slight smile, Mei Xin withdrew her hand and left with Zhao Shanzhang and others who were full of astonishment.

Concerned about the children's food, Mei Xin went to all three kitchens, the big, the middle and the small.Cardamom asked a few children in private, and found that they hadn't eaten meat for more than half a month.

Very angry and very annoyed, but Zhao Shanzhang is an elder, so it is inconvenient for her to say more.Moreover, the punishment has already been done just now, and the punishment will be a bit too much.

Because everyone's living environment is different, their experience is different, and their thoughts and views on a matter are different, so Zhao Shanchang still doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he did even though he knew that Mei Xin was angry.Besides, his starting point is also good, he just wants to save some money and food for General Mei.

Seeing that Zhao Shanzhang still didn't know where he was wrong, Mei Xin gave him a few more words.But he is too pedantic, an elm head can't understand how to say.The words were not speculative, and it was too much to say, and if I continued talking, I was afraid that I could not help getting angry, so Mei Xin winked at Yuan Muqiu.

Yuan Muqiu knowingly led Zhao Shanzhang out, and Mei Xin said with some headaches: "Daddy always said that he is honest and responsible, but he doesn't know that this honesty is sometimes really nerve-wracking. He can't turn the corner at all and walk in one direction In the dark, I don’t even know how to tell him.”

"Yunluo, Luoqiu, the two of you find someone to chat with and see if there is anyone who can be used in Yiying Hall. If Zhao Shan is like this, I'm afraid he can't control the lives of the children. In the future, only let him Take care of the master and the children in class, and add a deputy mountain chief to take care of the children's basic necessities."

I'm about to leave for Beijing, and I don't know the Year of the Monkey when I come to Yiyingtang.Right now, my father is ill and will return to Beijing in half a month. My brother is busy with military affairs and has no time to spare. If Zhao Shanzhang continues to arrest them all by himself, if this continues, something may happen.After a long time, maybe the children will feel resentful when they are hungry.

Yun Luo took the order to put the jujube tea in his hand on the table and said: "Your maidservant knows, let's go out and have a look. Didn't the major general say that he wants to go to the martial arts field to have a look, why don't we go together."

It's useless to think about the matter so far, since it doesn't make sense to Zhao Shanzhang, he just changed people, there's no need to worry about him.

Mentioning the Martial Arts Field, Mei Xin immediately regained her spirits, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go together. Cardamom, serve the tea, I'll drink it later."

Although the red dates and wolfberries are not particularly expensive things, they are the hearts of the people below.What's more, they are reluctant to eat on weekdays, and usually leave it for the children.

After answering "yes", Cardamom served the tea, but who knew that as soon as she went out, she ran into a child, and she was so frightened that her hand trembled and almost knocked the tea bowl down.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." A childish voice instantly softened Cardamom's heart.

Wen Sheng lowered his head, first saw a pair of big black eyes, and then saw a little boy like a porcelain doll.Skin as white as snow, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the dimples on both sides of the mouth look so pretty when she smiles.

He is handsome and handsome, not at all like a child born and raised in Liangzhou City.Cardamom knelt down, looked at him and said softly, "What's your name, how old are you?"

The little boy clapped his hands and saluted very elegantly, and the little boy replied politely: "The mountains look up, and Jing Xing stops. My name is Jing Xing, because I don't know what my surname is, and the general's surname is Mei. Sister, my name is Mei Jingxing." , six years old this year. What about you, what's your name, and how old are you?"

Wu Liuliu rolled his eyes, Mei Jingxing believed that people should be fair when dealing with others, and since he told her her name, she should also tell her name.

It was rare to see such an interesting child in Yiying Hall. Dou Kou called out to Mei Xin and replied, "My name is Dou Kou, and I am nineteen today. This is where the stewards discuss their affairs. What are you doing here? Are you hungry?" Yet?"

Mei Xin and the others came over before the words were spoken, seeing that the little boy was very beautiful, Luo Qiu couldn't help admiring him.
