"Come on, try it."
Zhen stayed up for two nights to sew the tiger fur coat.
Bai Zhaomei wears it, and it is indeed light and warm.
He even borrowed his master Xie Xiaolian's horse and went around Shenshu Village wearing a tiger fur coat.
Holding a red cherry gun, wearing a tiger fur, horse hoofs raising clouds of snow foam, he looked majestic.
"Bai Zhaomei, are you going to the border?"
After Zhao Xiaogui and Wu Chaojing got off school, they saw Bai Zhaomei galloping on a tall horse, and they felt very envious.
"Yes, we will set off tomorrow." Bai Zhaomei tightened the reins and stopped next to the two young men, with an excited look on her face.
"I want to go too." Zhao Xiaogui said.
"As long as your father is here, don't even think about it."
Bai Zhaomei dismounted and shook off the snow on the red cherry gun, breaking Zhao Xiaogui's fantasy.
"I was at the bottom in my studies, but my father was trying to challenge God to force me to take the merit test."
Zhao Xiaogui looked sad.
He heard that Bai Zhaomei was going to the border a few days ago, so he plucked up the courage to tell Village Chief Zhao that he wanted to go as well, but was beaten up by Village Chief Zhao as usual. Even though his father doesn't show it on his face, in his heart he is competing with Bai Zhaomei's father. He always envies Lao Bai's family for having two talented people and a rising star, Erlang.
And his father, Zhao Dachui, was a bad student, so he placed all his hopes on him.
I look forward to him leading the family to transform into a farming and reading family.
It doesn't matter how much knowledge he has studied. Being able to become a scholar like the second uncle of the Bai family is just smoke rising from the grave of the ancestor of the Zhao family.
But Zhao Xiaogui felt that he could not bear such a big responsibility.
He gets sleepy when he reads a book.
Every student will fail in the exam.
He likes to dance with guns and sticks like Bai Zhaomei. He also wants to join the army, kill enemies on the border, and make contributions.
"When I go to the border to explore the road, maybe your father will change his mind." Seeing Zhao Xiaogui's frustrated face, Bai Zhaomei comforted him.
Zhao Xiaogui nodded and said expectantly: "You will be the general when the time comes, and I will be your personal guard."
Zhao Xiaogui thought very simply, Bai Zhaomei would protect him when he became a general.
Bai Zhaomei eats meat, and he is satisfied with the soup.
Wu Chaojing also envied Bai Zhaomei for going to the border, but his envy was not the same as Zhao Xiaogui's.
His father didn't interfere with him, and he didn't ask him to take the exam or anything like that.
But his father hoped that he could beat the imperial physician Zhang Yangjing in medical skills in the future. His father said that the reason why he was asked to read and write was so that he could understand medical books and prescriptions.
He wanted to follow Bai Zhaomei to the border as a military doctor. He had already inquired with General Meng's personal guards. Military doctors were welcome in the military camp.
But his medical skills are not good yet.
"Uncle Wu, I'm just about to go to your house. This is the medicine I got for you from my father. There are people with bruises, knife wounds, arrow wounds... By the way, there are also people with colds and diarrhea. I I think it's too cold at the border. These two medicines can also be used. I brought them to you." Wu Chaojing handed a large box on his shoulder to Bai Zhaomei.
"Then I'll accept it. If I see anything interesting at the border, I'll bring it to you." Bai Zhaomei took the box and said.
"I also have something for you. This is two taels of silver. I have saved up the pocket money that my master usually gives me, and I will give it to you to spend on the road." Zhao Xiaogui took out a cloth bag with rattling copper plates in it.
Bai Zhaomei accepted it unceremoniously.
"Baizhaomei, you have to work hard, I will be your personal guard from now on." Zhao Xiaogui once again emphasized that his future rests on Baizhaomei.
"Fifth Uncle, I will be your army doctor when the time comes." Wu Chaojing said.
Bai Zhaomei waved her hand and agreed proudly: "Okay, okay, the three of us will still be together when the time comes."
"Okay, we're still together."
The three hands were clasped together.
…
Xiao Fuyuan left school, taking the red cloak Qiu Niang made for her, and was picked up by Bai Erzhuang on his back.
"Second brother, I can leave by myself." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"No, you can't." Bai Erzhuang secretly rejoiced, finally getting the chance to carry his sister on his back.
Okay, my arms can't twist my thighs.
Little Fuyuan lay obediently on her second brother's back. She really wanted to get down and walk in the snow by herself.
After class, she took advantage of the fact that her second brother was not paying attention and ran out of the door of the private school, but she still did not escape his sight.
Bai Erzhuang carried Xiao Fuyuan all the way home.
"Little dear, it's cold." Old Mrs. Bai took off the cloak on Xiao Fuyuan and patted the snow on it.
"Come, come to mother."
Little Fuyuan jumped into Zhen's arms, and Zhen held her hand and rubbed it again and again.
"Sister-in-law, drink some ginger soup." Tian Maimiao poured a bowl of hot ginger soup and handed it to Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at Tian Maimiao's big belly and quickly took it, saying, "Sister-in-law, I will do it myself."
The second sister-in-law, Eugene Gui, was not idle either and placed a plate of hibiscus cake for Xiao Fuyuan.
"Mom, it's cold, let's eat pot tonight?" Xie Chuntao walked in to ask for advice from the great-grandmother and mother-in-law.
"You can make up your mind and eat whatever you want." Old Mrs. Bai said.
"Okay, I want to eat pot and meat." Xiao Fuyuan clapped her hands and smiled.
Mrs. Zhen looked at the snow that was gradually falling outside, nodded and said, "Okay, cut a few more kilograms of mutton and buy some pieces of tofu. Your fifth brother likes to eat it."
This was the last dinner that the fifth child of the Bai family had at home before leaving.
You have to let him go out warmly after eating.
When Eugene Gui heard about buying tofu, he stood up in a hurry and said, "What else should I buy? I'll go to my parents' house and ask for a few kilograms of tofu."
He said opening the curtain.
"Remember to pay me, I won't eat for free from You's family."
Old Mrs. Bai has a very tough temper. Although You Jingui's younger sister You Hongye works in the Bai family's embroidery workshop, and her sixth sister You Qingya also has a good relationship with the Bai family, Old Mrs. Bai still doesn't go around with the You family, and she doesn't take care of You. Homemade tofu.
"Sister-in-law, let's get some spinach." Tian Maimiao said, holding her belly.
The spinach that has been beaten in the snow is the most fresh and sweet, the field wheat seedlings and the glutinous spinach.
"I already thought of it for you. Dalang went to the fields to gather it. Just wait and eat." Xie Chuntao said to Tian Maimiao with a smile.
"The two jars of good wine that A Zhen sent are also warm." Mrs. Zhen warned before Xie Chuntao opened the curtain and went out.
"Okay." Xie Chuntao agreed and went out.
Only Mrs. Bai, the third generation mother-in-law of Zhen family, Tian Maimiao and her daughter-in-law were left in the house, as well as Xiao Fuyuan and Xiao Lang.
"We're going to eat pot tonight. Why don't we call Ah Zhen over? My fifth brother is leaving too. Let's have a good time together." Tian Maimiao said.
Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai quite agreed.
After all, A Zhen today sent someone to bring big sweater clothes to protect Bai Zhaomei from the wind, as well as two jars of good wine.
"I'll call him." Xiao Fuyuan jumped out of bed and said.
"Slow down."
Mrs. Zhen put a cotton-padded jacket on her and wrapped her in a gorilla felt.
Little Fuyuan stroked the gorilla felt and admired how beautiful it was.
"This is my mother's old one, this is the only one left." Madam Zhen gathered the cuffs of Xiao Fuyuan's sleeves.
Xiao Fuyuan finished dressing and ran towards the opposite side on the lambskin boots given by Feng Zhiheng.
