There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 827|The seventy-second dragon scale (3)

The seventy-second dragon scale (3)

"Long'er, do you really want to go with my brother?"

Before leaving, Xie Ji still wanted to persuade her sister to stay at home, "Look at the sun, it's not full yet, we're going so early, don't you want to sleep a little longer? And from here to the private school It will take at least half an hour to walk, and our little donkey is sold again, your feet will hurt after walking for so long."

Because the little donkey grew bigger and bigger, there were chickens and dogs in the yard that couldn't keep it up, and the daily fodder was another expense. Soon after arriving in Fengcheng, Xie Ji sold the little donkey. .

No matter how he persuaded, Linglong always had a smile on his face: "Brother, let's go."

In the end, Xie Ji held her sister's hand dejectedly, locked the door, and walked outside. In the morning, Xie Ji cooked porridge, baked pancakes, and fried green vegetables. Bian has already set up stalls. As the sky gets brighter, there are more and more vendors on the road. Xie Ji also took out the money to buy two meat buns, one for each of his sister. Originally, he only wanted to buy one, but if so, Linglong would definitely not finish it.

There are three private schools in Fengcheng. Xie Ji has long inquired about it. He has always had the idea of ​​reading, but he just thinks that it is not a good time. The private school in the west of the city is in charge of teaching by a scholar. It is said that It was because he failed repeatedly in the test, and when he was disheartened, he stopped taking the test and opened a private school, but he was able to get enough food and clothing; the one in the city was opened by a Juren. He resigned from the official position at an old age, but as a result, he could not be free, so he opened a private school in the city;

Xie Ji wants to go to the east of the city first, because this house is the cheapest, and because the husband has to take the imperial examination, the class time is not long every day, which can save time to find work, he is It was planned that way.

But when he arrived at the private school in the east of the city and met the husband, the husband refused to accept it, and Xie Ji didn't bother him. He took his sister away and went to the private school in the west of the city. It's also good to read here."

Even a thirteen-year-old boy can't stand it. If I really want him to pass the exam in the future, I'm afraid that he is also a villain who is jealous of virtuous talents.

When Mr. Xie Ji was questioning Xie Ji, Linglong was at the side. He saw the expression of resentment flashing across the face of that person. Linglong understood this. The genius who never forgets to draw inferences from others, feels that it is normal for God to be unfair, at least they do not accept it directly, and do not leave Xie Ji to obliterate his talent.

The gentleman in the west of the city is kind and willing to accept Xie Ji. Xie Ji also intends to study here, but her sister asked to "listen in". What is it like to be a student with a younger sister, and since there are mostly men in this school, how can women enter?"

Xie Ji is the worst at seeing others look down on his sister. In his opinion, her sister is very good. There is no better woman than his mother and sister. When Mr. said this, he refused to read it at the time. Before handing in the repairs, he bowed to his husband, dragged his sister and left, blowing his beard and staring at him in anger, telling him not to come again in the future!

Xie Ji gritted her teeth and secretly said, if you don't come, you won't come!

This time, both of the two gentlemen were offended. Only the last one, the one in the city, was the closest to their home. It only took half a stick of incense to walk there. The magistrate of Fengcheng, there are many people who sign up to study... But there is only one gentleman, and what makes Xie Ji the most unhappy is that this one is the most expensive! For example, the one in the east of the city only needs one tael of silver a year, and the one in the west of the city is only two taels of silver, but this one costs five taels! In addition, it doesn't include the money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xie Ji doesn't have a book in his house, and the books are sold very expensively. How can he have so much money!

Even if there is, it is not willing to spend!

But my sister insisted, so he had to come.

Actually, Linglong's heart was this one at first. If nothing else, her husband's reputation is better than the other two, but her brother is used to being stingy, so she had to accompany him if he had to save money. I ran around, but it didn't matter, I finally came to the private school in the city.

Mr. This year is the year of destiny. He served in the seventy-sixth dynasty. He has been a magistrate in Fengcheng for decades. Although Shuxiu is also very high, there are still people sending their children here. It can be said that it is the best private school in Fengcheng. Mr. Ouyang, who has been an official for decades, is upright and honest. Fengcheng can have today's simple folk customs. No, he never took a concubine in his life. Although he had no children, he took care of the students like children. If nothing else, Mrs. Ouyang liked Linglong when she saw Linglong, and took her to her side. She spoke and gave her the cakes she made by herself. In Xie Ji's opinion, she was completely different from the other two gentlemen.

The gentleman in the east of the city ignored his sister the whole time, while the one in the west of the city despised his sister a lot, but this Mr. Ouyang and his wife in the city treated their sister as if they were themselves, not because she was a girl. superior.

Not to mention whether the apprenticeship can be successful today, it is such a respect, and it is also worthy of Xie Ji's respect.

Mrs. Ouyang likes children very much. She is exquisite, soft and cute. The pink little girl is naturally more lovable than the naughty stinky boys. Feeding her water from a teacup, Xie Ji, who sees her pet sister, can't help but think that Mrs. Ouyang is too exaggerated...

Mr. Ouyang asked Xie Ji personally, and found that although the child had only read three hundred thousand, he could recite it like a fluent, and his brain was extremely smart, and he could understand it at one point. He deliberately took an obscure book to teach Xie Ji to read it again. Afterwards, Xie Ji reiterated a good word!

This kid really has the ability to remember!

At such an old age, I thought that nothing could spark a spark in my heart. At this moment, this slightly thin but firm-eyed young man made Mr. Ouyang spark again from the bottom of his heart. ! When he was an official, he was a good official. When he was a gentleman, he was naturally a good gentleman. When he was a county magistrate, his political achievements were higher than those of other places every year, but only in the area of ​​scholars, he was at the bottom every year!

In his last year in office, even a scholar failed to pass the exam!

It makes Mr. Ouyang angry!

Education level and resources can't keep up, which is naturally incomparable. When Mr. Ouyang was in office, he often called on parents to send their children to study, but with little success.

I asked again and learned that the two brothers and sisters had both lost their parents. The two came from Fengcheng all the way. They were even more affectionate in their hearts. The decision was made and Xie Ji was accepted. There is one in the private school, and you can give him a copy.

The brothers and sisters took twenty taels of silver with them when they went out in the morning. Mr. Ouyang didn't want to bundle the repairs, but Xie Ji insisted. After handing in the repairs, Xie Ji handed over to Mr. Ouyang: "Sir, please allow the students to do tomorrow. To study again, students must send their sister home first."

Mrs. Ouyang likes Linglong very much. How can she let her go with such a beautiful and lovely child! You Qi Linglong is crazy in her arms, she likes it very much, but now it's overflowing! Hearing Xie Ji say this, she hurriedly said: "Reading is important, you should go to study with your husband first. As for your sister, stay with me first, and after school today, you will bring your sister home."

Xie Ji looked at her sister hesitantly, and found that his unconscionable sister had already surrendered to Mrs. Ouyang.

Mr. Ouyang hurriedly carried Xie Ji away. He also wanted to see how smart Xie Ji was, and he was not willing to waste any time.

The other students went home at noon, and Xie Ji and his sister were left to eat. Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang were not arrogant. There were only three servants in the family, one Fu Bo, who was in charge of the door, and a servant, and The mother who served Mrs. Ouyang was not too young, she was the old man who followed Mr. Ouyang back then.

Like the main family, these three servants are also generous, and the lunch is rich, and they are specially prepared for the two brothers and sisters. On weekdays, the couple eats light and simple, but it is true for students. Well, for some students from poor families, Mr. Ouyang not only did not take the habit of cultivating, but also provided them with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Being impoverished, he has his own character. Compared with the other two private schools, the teachers are far behind.

Linglong can eat very well, and Mrs. Ouyang is very happy to see it. She thinks that children just need to eat more, and they can grow meat. Look at how thin these two children are!

In the afternoon, the brothers and sisters were going home, and Mrs. Ouyang was very reluctant to give up. After getting along this day, she loved Linglong far more than others. Usually she also liked other students very much, but now all the students are in the Together, they couldn't compare to Linglong. When she sent the brothers and sisters to the door, Mrs. Ouyang kept telling Linglong to come again. Linglong nodded obediently. She looked at the cute little girl, and at the hands that the brothers and sisters held together. She couldn't help but patted Xie Ji's shoulder lightly.

Since her mother died, no one has approached her as an elder like this. Xie Ji stared at Mrs. Ouyang, her brows and eyes were smiling, and although there were wrinkles on her face, they were all gentle: "In the future, just Don’t see outsiders, treat Mr. and Mrs. as a family, brothers and sisters must support and help each other in order to go a long way, if there is any difficulty, just come to Mr. >

After she finished speaking, she laughed. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescent crescents. She was very amiable. Xie Ji stared at Mrs. Ouyang blankly. She seemed to see a gentle mother in the dimness, but it was only the next second. Then he woke up, but he cherished this kindness very much: "...Thank you, my mother, for her teaching, and the students wrote it down."

"Long'er must also come often." Mrs. Ouyang pinched her delicate little cheeks, "Look at this thin one, come back next time, and my wife will cook you something delicious."

Linglong and Crisp responded: "Hey!"

The brothers and sisters came to hold hands and walked home, and Linglong turned back and waved to Mrs. Ouyang. Mrs. Ouyang stood at the door and looked around. She didn't turn around until the siblings disappeared at the corner, and her heart was empty again. When we went home from school, she had never been so reluctant to give up. It can be seen that people really pay attention to fate. The parents of these poor two children died early, and the two brothers and sisters depended on each other for life. Pity.

"Ah, by the way, I still have a lot of useless fabrics in my box. Let's go, Song Ma, come and find it with me. I will spread it out tomorrow to wash and dry it, and make clothes for the little girl. It's better!"

Song Ma laughed at the side: "Madam, you just met someone once!"

"How can you pay attention to frequency in such a thing as fate? When I looked at that little girl Long'er, I was overjoyed. Their brothers and sisters are not like the students and their parents are still alive. They are teachers for one day and father for life. Their mothers have kissed, so it's not too much to plan for them. And the fabrics are brightly colored, where I can wear them at my age, and they will be ashes when they are placed there. It's better to make clothes for little girls."

Mother Song also nodded her head frequently when she remembered the quirky little girl: "She is indeed a lovable little girl, not to mention the lady, the old slave is happy to see it."

The smile is especially sweet, like honey. When people see it, they can't help but want to laugh with her. Even if she wants the stars and moons in the sky, they will try to get them for her.

Mr. Ouyang was excited by Xie Ji's extraordinary talent. He sat there watching his wife picking up the fabric and kept laughing. When Mrs. Ouyang saw him doing this, she immediately laughed and laughed: "Master has been laughing all day. Haven't laughed enough yet?"

"Madam, this kid, this kid is a good seedling!" Mr. Ouyang patted the table and was excited, "No matter what he is taught, he can learn everything! You didn't see that I took him today. In the class, the other students have never been convinced to become speechless! I think as long as he perseveres and devotes his mind to his studies, he will be able to get a champion in the future!"

Mrs. Ouyang was speechless: "...If I remember correctly, the master was only a second-class man at the time. Don't push the child too hard, how can you do it if the pressure is too much? The child has suffered a lot, and you treat others Be gentle."

She still doesn't understand the character of her old man. She smiles at everyone on weekdays. No matter how naughty the students are, he won't get angry, but once it involves schoolwork, it can only be described with harsh words!

Especially for those boys who are very skinny on weekdays, Mr. Ouyang is more strict when he checks his homework. Every time Mrs. Ouyang sees it, he wants to laugh.

Aiya, although she is a gentle teacher, she won't ask Mr. Ouyang for help in her studies.

From this day on, Xie Ji officially worshipped Mr. Ouyang as his teacher. He was agile and eager to learn. The child is like a shriveled sponge, absorbing knowledge hungry and thirsty. No matter how much is instilled in him, he can swallow and digest it all, and he can infer other things.

Although Mr. Ouyang is no longer an official, the magistrate who succeeded Fengcheng has a close personal relationship with him. When the new magistrate came, Mr. Ouyang was very helpful to him, so when Mr. Ouyang asked him for help, Mr. Pu also readily agreed.

It's just for two helpless children to settle down. It's not difficult. Most of Fengcheng are foreigners from all over the world, so the brothers and sisters finally have a new household registration, which is really safe. Family.

Compared with other classmates, Xie Ji's learning progress is almost a thousand miles. Even Mr. Pu is amazed. Smart children are rare, but those who are so smart are one in ten thousand miles.

Linglong learned that they praised Xie Ji, and took it for granted. Could it be that he is not smart? Even if someone wants his life to be miserable and miserable, he can still turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, and play with the right and left hands of the government. Above the palm of the stock - such a minister, such a minister has appeared for thousands of years. Now that Xie Ji has used this ingenuity on the right path, he is naturally better than others. Mr. Ouyang has been depressed all his life, and he is afraid that Xie Ji will be famous all over the world.

Mr. and the county magistrate both value and appreciate this new classmate. Xie Ji naturally arouses the rejection and jealousy of the classmates. Fortunately, everyone is not young and has no bad intentions. Just want to tease and tease him every day, but Xie Ji has seventeen or eight more tricks in his heart than others. It's better if you don't mess with him. Once you mess with him, he will definitely pay back double.

In Mr. Ouyang's view, such a character is too hostile, and a gentleman convinces people with virtue, how can he hold grudges for some trivial matters? But Xie Ji is a child who treats him well. He also digs his heart and lungs. Mr. Ouyang can't say what he wants to change. He only communicates with his wife in private, and wants to restrain Xie Ji through Linglong's mouth. After all What my sister said was much better than what my husband said.

But Linglong doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, Xie Ji's temperament is like her, otherwise why does she like Xie Ji as her brother? Are you willing to live this poor life with him? Because this person looks so much like her, is it possible that she was bullied, and she is not allowed to take revenge?

Xie Ji quickly tidied up the classmates in the school one by one, and he is well versed in the truth of buying people's hearts. The next day, he brought cakes to share with everyone. , I can't read, I can't fight, I can't even fight, and even this mind is not as good as others... What are you making a fuss about? It is better to learn Xie Ji and study hard, and earn a point in the future.

In Mr. Ouyang's opinion, he stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction. He felt that this was all due to Linglong's persuasion. How could he know that Linglong not only didn't persuade, but also "fucked up" with Xie Ji, Xie Ji's ideas for treating people , most of them were thought up by Linglong, so Mr. Ouyang and his wife thought this little girl was a silly and sweet.

Colds come and summers come and go. If time passes by, it will be the end of the year in the blink of an eye. The spring of next year will begin. Xie Ji, who has been a teacher for one year, will have to take the exam. There are also four classmates who go with him. Xie Ji is in The popularity in the private school is good, but I don't have many friends with him. Maybe because he is a university bully, the scumbags always feel that they can't play with him, and Xie Ji is different from them, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy Which one doesn't have the guts, but Xie Ji is as pure as a monk, not interested in eating, drinking, and having fun. Either reading with her husband, or going home to accompany her sister, anyway, want to go out with him? There are no doors!

The most annoying thing is that he obviously has a super cute and beautiful sister, but he doesn't allow them to take a look!

That little girl is my wife's favorite. She often comes to the private school, so people climb the wall and want to see her. It's okay if Xie Ji catches her. !

The little girl looks so sweet, how can she have such an ice-like brother! Not biological! Definitely not biological!

The two brothers and sisters celebrated the New Year alone, and Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang also spent the New Year alone. Mrs. Ouyang tried her best to persuade them to come and spend the New Year together at home. Xie Ji didn't want to disturb her, but Mrs. invited him again and again. He asked her sister's opinion, and he agreed.

This is the first time I have had enough food and clothing, and the company of my elders.

Once upon a time when they were celebrating the New Year, my mother would be frugal on weekdays, and she would buy some white rice noodles before the year before. She didn't have the money to pull cloth to make new clothes, so she bought a pair of shoes for Xie Jin and a new haircut for Linglong. Take - now they have saved some money, but the mother can't see it.

After having the New Year's Eve dinner together, Xie Ji's siblings insisted on going home. Mrs. Ouyang couldn't keep anyone and was worried about them, so she asked Fu Bo to send her back in a carriage. Xie Ji did not reject her kindness.

The mother is still at home. They are grateful for the kindness of the husband and wife. Naturally, they can't take the mother with them during the Chinese New Year, but they will never let the mother stay at home alone.

The brothers and sisters came to light the lamp, offered candles and fruit incense in front of the mother's tablet, and kowtowed three times seriously, and then ran to the yard to set off fireworks. His anger is not visible, he usually doesn't play nonsense with his classmates, and naturally he rarely sets off fireworks.

It will get better and better.

He looked at the fireworks exploded above his head, and the sound of firecrackers was everywhere. This year had been lively and happy, but the heaviness in his heart had not eased in the slightest.

He'll find the man, he swears, and make him pay the price he deserves.

Mother...

Xie Ji clenched his fist secretly, I will definitely bring that person back to you, no matter life or death.

"Brother! Let's put this, let's put this!"

The meditating Xie Ji was awakened by her sister, her little face was flushed with excitement, and she threw a thunderbolt there. This was sold to children to play, and if you dropped it hard, it would explode, because it was very cheap, Xie Ji I bought some for my sister to play with.

At this moment, Linglong called him over, he adjusted his expression and smiled: "Brother is here!"

I don't know when snowflakes will fall again in the sky, and large swaths will fall down. At this time last year, they were still wandering on the road, but now they have their own home and no longer need to hide in Tibet. The snowflakes fell to the ground, and quickly accumulated a thin layer. Judging from this posture, if it fell to tomorrow, it is estimated that some people's knees would be thick.

There is a pure whiteness between the heaven and the earth. This goose feather snow covers all the absurdities in the world.
