"Thank you, miss." Wen Sou couldn't help but be happy. His daughter was just relying on one breath to hold on now. Not to mention taking medicine, even the food would have been gone long ago if the Baiyan family hadn't helped her. Next pile of bones.
Without the labor force, their family had no land to live on. The whole family was just struggling. After Xie Miaoxuan and Cao Youxin received compensation for their early years and received medical treatment, he burst into tears and said, "Girls are born again." The old man is very grateful for the great kindness, and I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Wen Sou was one of the few who kept in mind that Xie Miaoxuan didn't like to kneel down, so he just pulled Aman and asked him to bow respectfully.
Xie Miaoxuan accepted it calmly and asked, "I think the elder is polite and has thick calluses on both his index and middle fingers. How can he be literate?"
Aman proudly replied, "Aweng also taught me how to read. Now I can write my own name."
Wen Sou patted his head, which was as high as a fighting cock, and explained, "The old man knows a few words. In his early years, he worked as a low-level official in the county government and served as a temporary servant to the county magistrate. Later, he was given the position because of an accident."
This was an unexpected surprise.
He turned out to be literate.
Xie Miaoxuan deliberately wanted to give him a hand. This old man Wen was obviously a person who did not stick to trivial matters. Besides, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish. Only when the family has a livelihood can they have hope for this day.
As for the accident, Xie Miaoxuan understood it after thinking about it for a while.
The imperial court was full of arrogance, extravagance, and lewdness. Officials treated affairs as if they were lay officials, followed the law as harsh, and performed courtesies as edicts and flattery.
The decayed court rituals have collapsed, and music has been ruined, and debauchery has become the virtuous man.
The fact that Wen Soo was not swayed by other people's rumors and took care of his daughter and grandson personally showed that he definitely couldn't get along with this group of people, and it was completely reasonable for him to be framed.
Xie Miaoxuan did not ask him about his experience in detail, but just gave him a new way out, "I also lack someone who can write books for me. If the old man is willing, he can come to my place to be on duty when Mrs. Sun's health improves. Every month Please take the money for the time being. Things around me are not busy for the time being. I allow you to take Aman to read and learn in your spare time. Old man, are you willing?"
Wen Sou was overjoyed. When he was a clerk in the county government, his monthly salary was only 300 yuan, and he was often deducted.
He himself did not want to join the ranks of his colleagues in being greedy, depressed and frustrated, which naturally made his life even more difficult.
After receiving this job, I will not only be able to buy some good medicine for my daughter to take care of her in the future, but I will also be able to replenish my health for my granddaughter, and I will also be able to continue to educate and educate my eldest grandson.
What she has done is infinitely greater than that of the county magistrate.
And since he has lived to this age, he has already paid little attention to the gender of men and women.
Wen Sou tried his best to stabilize his trembling body, "Wen Sou thanks the lord for surviving, and is willing to follow the lord to the death."
As soon as the word "lord" came out, even Xie Yuanju, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but look sideways.
Xie Miaoxuan laughed loudly, Lord!
A feeling of courage to kill for you suddenly arose in my heart.
She helped Wen Sou up and said, "I am lucky to have Elder Wen Tuo accompanying me today."
Aman on the side jumped for joy. He didn't know how much money he always had, but he knew that in his life, he had only eaten candied haws once, for a penny, and it was bought for him by his father when he was still alive.
It's always a lot of money.
He doesn't have to eat candied haws, as long as his mother and sister can survive at home.
"Lord, can you name Aman?"
Nowadays, most civilians do not have their own names. Most of them are just random nicknames. The most commonly used names are Goudan, Daniu, Ahua and the like.
People with a little bit of background will marry with better names, such as Black Tiger, Jing, Chou, etc.
Only nobles have their own names, and being named by a noble is regarded as an honor by followers. Being given a name by a noble is equivalent to dedicating one's loyalty.
Although Wensou has an upright character, he has his own concerns after working hard in the county government for so many years.
He is getting older, and he may go there one day. If Aman can be named by his lord, he will definitely have this kind of love in the future. If he cannot take care of his grandson when he grows up, at least it will pave the way for him. .
Xie Miaoxuan pondered for a moment and was quite interested in giving names. Seeing Aman's liveliness and cuteness, she asked with a smile, "What do you want to do in the future? Is it like you, Aweng, who has a talent for reading and writing? Carrying a gun and dancing a sword to become a warrior?"
"I want someone like Aweng who can read and write, but Aweng is often bullied by the county clerk, so I want to be a high official who can not be bullied."
"Hahaha, you have high ambitions at a young age, so you must work hard. But I hope that one day you will become a high official. Don't forget your original intention, so I will name you Yanli."
"Aman, no... Sun Yanli thanks the lord. In the future, he must keep his true heart in mind and swear allegiance to the lord to the death."
"Hahaha, okay."
For a while, there was a sense of harmony where the guest and the host were enjoying themselves.
The Bai Yan family members were drooling with envy on the side. She was naturally happy for Wen Sou and A Man, but no one in her family knew a single word.
But if she could read, she would be appreciated by the girl, and she also wanted her children to learn to read like Wensou.
But literacy is a big expense, and her family can't afford it at all, so after thinking about it, she still thinks that letting her children play with Aman more will be nicer to Aman in the future, and it will be profitable if they can learn a few words from him.
Xie Miaoxuan gained two followers, one old and one young, so he was naturally happy.
It was getting dark, so she couldn't ask the men to help with the clothes for Madam Sun, and there were no maids or maids around her, and she had no plans to add anyone to her side, so she really didn't have the right one. There were people who could help Wensou wash the floor, but they arranged for some troops to come to his home to help with some heavy work, such as chopping firewood and fetching water, so they left without disturbing him.
After walking some distance, Xie Miaoxuan looked at Xie Yuanju and asked, "The doctor bandaged you yesterday. There are so many wounds on your back. Why don't you lie down properly?"
