381. Zeng Guofan faced The four soldiers who were trembling with fear shouted: "As local soldiers who protect the country and the people, you are picking provocations, which is extremely bad! Following the instructions of Admiral Bao, our headquarters will follow the military regulations of the Qing Dynasty and impose fifty military sticks. Stay in camp for three days!"
382 After giving the order, eight members of the execution group overturned the guards, raised water and fire sticks, and beat them hard. The arrogance of the soldiers that they had suffered for the past few months was all vented on these four unlucky soldiers.
383 Deng Shaoliang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Before leaving, he was severely reprimanded by Zeng Guofan, saying that he was tantamount to conspiracy and worthy of execution. He was told to return to the camp to await trial. , he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe out, and walked back dejectedly.
384. After dispatching the soldiers, Zeng Guofan said to Luo Bingzhang, who was sitting aside in a daze: "Luo Zhongcheng, you are frightened. This move of the state vassal is really a last resort. Shang Wang Zhongcheng is considerate."
385 It took Luo Bingzhang a while to recover, and said angrily: "You are too strong. The hatred between you and Tuan Ding will never be resolved! "After that, he walked away.
386. Unexpectedly, one of the beaten soldiers named Wang Liansheng was weak and sick. He died after being carried back. This angered the soldiers even more, claiming that Zeng Guofan would pay for his life.
387. Early the next morning, Deng Shaoliang ran to Bao Qibao and made a complaint in a more acrimonious manner. Bao Qibao was so angry that he screamed and asked them to carry Wang Liansheng to the case investigation bureau. , and also said that the case investigation bureau should wear sackcloth and wear filial piety to pay for one's life.
388 With the support of Bao Qibao, Deng Shaoliang became more arrogant. He gathered 300 Zhenjun soldiers, raised Wang Liansheng's gun, and came to the trial bureau with great momentum. After being ignored for a long time, they left it at the door of the case investigation bureau, wrote three demands on white paper, and pasted it on the wall.
389. When Zeng Guofan heard that someone had died, he was a little nervous. Later, he sent someone to investigate whether someone was sick first, so he felt a little relieved. He also asked someone to report Luo Bingzhang. But the illness disappeared.
390. Although Zeng Guofan was very angry, he did not want to make the situation worse, so he sent Luo Zenan to discuss with Deng Shaoliang, and finally settled the matter by paying some money.
391. Although the matter was settled, Zeng Guofan was depressed from then on. A few days later, the psoriasis broke out again. layer of tinea skin.
392. This problem is very old. Ten years ago in Beijing, I had a doctor treat me. I took one dose of medicine a day for three months but it didn't work. The doctor was also anxious, so he found Jing Qi and spent five taels of silver to find out that Zeng Guofan was a python spirit.
393. The next day, the doctor asked Zeng Guofan to take off his clothes. He was also surprised to see circles of white ringworm on his back and legs. He said that this was not ringworm, but python scales, which proved that Zeng Guofan was a python spirit; he also said that in the future, he would rely on these silver scales to become a prince and prime minister.
394. Zeng Guofan asked Jing Qi to take a piece of silver, sent the doctor away, and never looked for anyone to heal him again.
395. After a sleepless night, I was upset. When I looked up and saw the banner sent by my mentor Tang Jian: "If you don't be a virtuous person, just be a virtuous person." Me, I just want to train a new army, achieve a great career, and get rid of this evil spirit.
396. He cheered up and remembered that he had mentioned the move to Hengzhou in the memorial a few months ago, and the emperor did not express any objection. He decided to take the team training to Hengzhou to avoid the sluggish Changsha, avoid the endless friction, and train a brand new team, so as to make achievements.
397. As soon as he heard that Zeng Guofan was leaving, Luo Bingzhang was happy in his heart, but he kept a few words in his mouth, and then held a big banquet to bid farewell to Zeng Guofan and the leaders above the commander of the regiment. .
398. Zeng Guofan, an official in the officialdom, was well aware of Luo Bingzhang's sophistication, but he did not want to show off his face, so he took the leaders of the group training to the table happily. He and Luo Bingzhang sat side by side and talked heart-to-heart, much like a close couple.
399. Soon, Zeng Guofan led more than a thousand regiment members to Hengzhou and stationed themselves at Yanwuping outside Xiaoximen. The command post is located in the Zhao family ancestral hall not far from Yanwuping. Hengzhou is his ancestral home and the hometown of Mrs. Ouyang. He studied here when he was a boy, so when he arrived in Hengzhou, he felt like a dragon returning to the sea.
400. On the second day after arriving in Hengzhou, Zeng Guofan asked Wang Xin to tidy up the command post, and he took Luo Zenan and others to visit the governor of Hengzhou.
401. Wang Xin was less than thirty years old, with a high heart and talent, both in civil and military skills, and was deeply appreciated by Zeng Guofan. On this day, he commanded the soldiers to clean the inside and outside of the ancestral hall and arranged it like a government office. After thinking hard for a long time, he wrote a big sign on red paper: "The Imperial Minister of Tuanlian once commanded the General Camp Affairs Bureau of the Hunan Army. ", posted on the door.
402, Zeng Guofan walked to the door and took a look, and his two eyebrows were locked together. He called Wang Xin into the back room and scolded him, saying that he had been ordered to assist in group training, but he had gone to "assistant", which confused the relationship between master and subordinate; group training can be called Hunan brave, but it cannot be called Hunan army. Such a change would go against one's destiny and would cause trouble!
403 Wang Xin heard the seriousness of the problem and quickly admitted his mistake. Zeng Guofan asked him to write another one, which was still the same old sign: Hunan Case Trial Bureau.
404. After calming down, Zeng Guofan first wrote a letter to Luo Bingzhang to report on the resettlement situation; then he wrote to Guo Songtao, Liu Rong, Li Yuandu and other friends: inviting them Come to Hengzhou to do great things.
405. It was late at night. Zeng Guofan had worked hard for a day and felt a little tired. He was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. He thought that if he wanted to succeed in the careers of Li Mi and Guo Ziyi, he would need to have a force far greater than that of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners. Although the current number of people was far greater than that of other provinces, it was still not enough.
If we want to expand our courage again, will the court agree?
406. In the midst of anxiety, the prefect of Hengzhou sent an urgent letter from Jiang Zhongyuan from the Jiangxi front line, saying "Changmao" is powerful and difficult to deal with. Please ask Zeng Guofan to recruit thousands more men and horses in Hunan, train them into elite soldiers, and send them to the front line in Jiangxi as soon as possible.
407. I really wanted to sleep, so someone brought me a pillow. He hurriedly wrote back to Jiang Zhongyuan, asking him to report to the emperor that as long as the emperor agreed, expanding the army and training would not be a problem. He knew that as for the future whereabouts of these brave men, it was not all decided by him.
408. With Jiang Zhongyuan’s request, it is justifiable to expand his reputation. Yong Ding came to Hengzhou from all directions, and the number suddenly increased to more than 5,000. He also seconded Taqibu, Yang Zaifu and others to Luo Bingzhang, plus Guo Songtao and others who were invited. For a time, Hengzhou gathered talents and a new atmosphere.
409. Zeng Guofan also formulated strict training plans and rules according to Qi Jiguang’s military training strategy. The dust on the martial arts training ground was flying every day and the sound of killing was loud, which attracted many Hengzhou people to Come watch and praise.
410. After two months of rigorous training and just after making some progress, Luo Bingzhang forwarded a letter asking for help from Jiang Zhongyuan and the Jiangxi governor: "Long-haired" Deputy Prime Minister Lai Hanying and others He led 120,000 troops to surround Nanchang. The situation was urgent and he asked Zeng Guofan to urgently dispatch two battalions of brave men to assist Jiangxi.
411. Zeng Guofan wanted to let his troops go to the battlefield to test their skills and see if the scholars could lead troops in war, so he sent Luo Zenan’s Zeziying and Jinsong The old Lingzi Battalion went to the Jiangxi front line.
412. Soon after the troops were dispatched, good news came. The second battalion of Zezi and Lingzi, with less than a thousand troops, defeated thousands of "Changmao" people and recaptured Anfu. The siege of Ji'an was solved. Zeng Guofan was overjoyed and more confident.
413. Luo Zenan and Jin Songling led the victorious army and pursued the victory until they reached the Yonghe Gate in the western suburbs of Nanchang. From a distance, I saw the city gate closed, with tents standing outside and flags covering the sky. In front of the Chinese military tent, an apricot-yellow and black-edged centipede flag embroidered with the Chinese character "Lin" was fluttering in the wind. I knew this was Lin Qirong's team of the Taiping Army. There are more than 10,000 people.
414. They set up camp ten miles apart. Luo Zenan was eager to win, so he discussed with Jin Songling and decided to rob the camp overnight and call Ling Ziying to the rear. If he wins, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue him, and if he loses, he will fight to the death to save him. Although Jin Songling felt it was too hasty and was reluctant, he knew that his reputation and status were not as good as Luo's, so he reluctantly agreed.
415. At the second watch, all the Taiping troops were asleep. Luo Zenan personally led the Zezi Battalion in front, and Jin Songling led the Lingzi Battalion to follow closely. We walked all the way to the Taiping Military Camp and saw no movement. Luo Zenan was overjoyed and ordered to go straight to the camp.
416. Lin Qirong is a general with great achievements in hundreds of battles in the Taiping Army. Although he is young, he has been in many battles and has rich experience. As soon as Luo Zenan set off on his journey, there was a report from a spy, and he had already taken strict precautions. As soon as the Zezi camp rushed forward, it fell into the siege of the Taiping Army. Lin Qirong immediately drew his sword and commanded the fight. In a melee, Zeziying lost more than twenty bodies.
417. When Jin Songling saw that he had been deceived, he shouted that it was not good and ignored his promise to save him even if he died. He hurriedly changed the back post of the Lingzi camp into the outpost, turned around and ran away.
418. Lin Qirong was about to command his troops to encircle and annihilate the Zezi camp. Unexpectedly, a cannon sounded inside the Yonghe Gate, and Jiang Zhongyuan's troops rushed out of the city. Only then did Luo Zenan rush out in embarrassment with the defeated troops. surrounded.
419. Returning to Hengzhou and describing the battle, Zeng Guofan felt deeply worried. Luo Zenan's attempt to rob the camp was careless, but the scholar's courage in leading the troops was commendable. Failure to rescue each other when defeated is the main reason for failure. If we fail to correct this shortcoming, Hunan Yong will inevitably follow in the same footsteps. Zeng Guofan slapped the table and stood up, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Jin Songling's crime is unpardonable!"
420. On this day, the autumn air was crisp, and five thousand Xiangyong pressed the button on the Yanwu Ping. The organized formations were neat and solemn.
On the podium, on the flagpole in the middle is a long bright yellow flag with a black word "Zeng" embroidered on it. On each side are five slightly smaller flags embroidered with "Ta", "Luo", "Wang" and "Li". Wait for the surnames of each battalion officer.
421. Since the regiment training in Changsha, Zeng Guofan has attached great importance to ideological education and often lectured the regiment members. After arriving in Hengshan, he trained even more frequently. He did not talk about empty principles, but always used vulgar language to talk about how to behave in life as a father and brother. He encouraged the members of the regiment to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds by using promotion and wealth, and honoring the ancestors.
422. Today, he went to the command podium again and first praised the Zeziqi and Lingzi battalions for fighting against the "Changmao", winning the battle, and regaining Anfu. . As a reward, each regiment member will be rewarded five taels of silver, and the officers will be rewarded with more. The brothers in the two battalions were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and those who didn't participate in the battle were also very envious.
423. Then his expression changed, a fierce light appeared in his triangular eyes, and he accused Jin Songling of not abiding by the agreement and refusing to save him, resulting in the death of more than 20 people in the Zezi camp. The sins of the brothers. "Bring Jin Songling up!" A sharp shout was like an icy northwest wind blowing across the military training ground, and the square with thousands of people was silent for a while.
424. Jin Songling was pushed onto the stage by two soldiers who had already arranged for him. He knelt down in front of Zeng Guofan and said: "Beginning deserves to be punished. I didn't rescue him in time!" While thinking about it, Zeng Guofan was just doing it to improve military discipline, so he didn't feel nervous.
425. Unexpectedly, Zeng Guofan stared at him for a long time, and shouted loudly: "Push him down and kill him!" Like a thunderbolt from the blue, the whole audience was shaken. The officers and soldiers were frightened. Jin Songling was even more unexpected. It took him a long time to wake up, and he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
426. This is the first time since the founding of Xiangyong that he killed his own brothers and actually used a battalion officer to perform surgery! Luo Zenan was also frightened and hurriedly ran to the stage, kowtowed in front of Zeng Guofan and begged for mercy.
427 Jin Songling burst into tears and kept pleading: "It is not a pity to die in a humble job, but I am eighty-year-old and have a child who is crying for food. Please leave." On the one hand, Rao humbled his position and died!
428. Luo Zenan's plea and Jin Songling's cry made the whole place sigh, and Zeng Guofan also felt heartbroken. He calmed down and gritted his teeth. : "The long hair is raging and charcoal is spreading. What the court wants is a strong and well-disciplined force. Military discipline, military conduct, the emperor's orders, and the high hopes of my fathers will not allow me to show mercy outside the law. Young son, don't worry!"
429. Zeng Guofan wrote a note on the spot, stating that he would give the Jin family ten taels of silver every month until the death of Jin's mother and the youngest son. After Jin Songling looked at it, he handed it over to Luo Zenan. After a while, Jin Songling pushed Luo Zenan away and walked resolutely to the audience.
< p> 430. Suddenly, a cry like cracking silk came: "Brother!" Zeng Guobao shouted in front of Zeng Guofan: "Please spare Jin Songling's death for the sake of your mother!" As he said this, he howled. Crying and kowtowing.
431. It turns out that eight years ago, Zeng Guofan's mother suffered from angina and passed out when she was carried to the town. It was Jin Songling who tried his best to save her for three days. After three nights, the crisis was over. From now on, in order to thank the Jin family for saving their lives, the old lady asked the Zeng brothers to send gifts every New Year.
432. Zeng Guofan heard this. He was stunned for a long time. But there was no way out at this time, and he thought to himself: In order to defeat Hong Yang, I can only do this in the future. It’s not a lotus leaf pond, the military law is harsh, and the military orders are as high as mountains. How can I be expected to break the law with my personal feelings? Get down!”
433. Jin Songling was completely desperate, closed her eyes, The executioner Tuan Ding pushed him forward. There was a dead silence in Yanwu Ping. Only today did the five thousand Xiangyong truly appreciate the majesty of the Assistant Tuanlian Minister and the harshness of military law.
434. In the evening, Zeng Guofan summoned Jin Songling’s cousin and asked him to escort his cousin’s coffin back to his hometown. Before leaving, he took out four hundred taels of silver and asked him to transfer it. For Jin Songling.
435. After killing Jin Songling and rewarding the officers and soldiers who had made meritorious service in Jiangxi, the training effect of Xiangyong was greatly improved. Military discipline and style were also more serious, and Zeng Guofan was in a slightly more relaxed mood. On this day, he gave all the officers and soldiers a holiday, and he took Guo Bao along the steaming water to the foot of Shiguzui.
436. Zeng Guofan studied with Wang Jue'an at Shigu Academy for several years in his early years. This time he visited his hometown again with great interest. After walking for a while, he and Guo Bao met again I rowed a small boat called "fishing hook" and went fishing in the river.
437. A large cargo ship sailed down the river, causing a surge of water and almost lifting Zeng Guofan into the water. Zeng Guofan suddenly thought, why not take advantage of the steaming water of the Xiangjiang River in Hengzhou to establish Xiangyong's navy?
438. While he was thinking, someone called from the shore. It turned out that It was his father-in-law who came to see him, and Luo Zenan sent his own soldiers to shout. Zeng Guofan was in high spirits when he thought about the construction of the navy. He had no intention of fishing for a long time and hurriedly abandoned the boat and landed ashore.
439 walked into the Zhao family ancestral hall and saw his father-in-law Ouyang Ningzhi pointing at a short and fat old man and saying: "Disheng, who do you think is here?" When Zeng Guofan saw it, he hurriedly ran over and saluted and said: "I didn't expect it to be a favor. Guofan missed the welcome."
440. This old man was Zeng Guofan when he was at Shigu Academy. Wang Jue'an, my teacher when I was studying. Teachers and students reunited after a long absence. The former students are now high-ranking officials. It goes without saying that they are happy and affectionate.
441. Zeng Guofan let the two old people into the study, expressed his thoughts, and asked about the current situation. It turned out that Wang Jue'an had married Wang Shiquan, the sixth grandson of Wang Chuanshan. Zeng Guofan admired Wang Chuanshan very much. He had long wanted to visit Chuanshan's former residence, so he asked his mentor and his father-in-law to bring Luo Zenan and Guobao to visit Wang Shiquan that afternoon.
442. Chuanshan’s former residence is located at the foot of the beautiful Huiyan Peak. Four fish ponds surround an old blue brick house. The main door pillars are engraved with A couplet: Martial arts opened the destiny of a dynasty, and culture and education inspired hundreds of generations. The writing style is old and vigorous, simple and powerful.
443. Because someone had informed him early, Wang Shiquan and his family were waiting at the door. After the guests and hosts were seated in the living room, Zeng Guofan asked Guobao to take out a hundred taels of silver sealed in red paper and express his respect for Chuanshan Gong. Shiquan declined for a while and had no choice but to accept.
?
444. Zeng Guofan talked with Shiquan, Jue'an and others about Mr. Chuanshan's family background and expressed deep admiration for Mr. Chuanshan's morality. It is a deep regret that Chuan Shangong was poor in his later years and that not all of his writings could be published.
445. Then visit the Chuanshan relics. The two-sided rooms are hung with portraits of Chuanshan and inscriptions and praises by later ministers and celebrities. The cabinet is filled with previously published works of Chuanshan, manuscripts that have not yet been published, and some utensils used during his lifetime. Zeng Guofan and Luo Zenan came here for the first time. They looked through each piece carefully and expressed heartfelt admiration from time to time.
446. A sword with colorful ancient patterns aroused great interest of Zeng Guofan. He did not expect that there would be an ancient sword among the relics of Chuanshan, a great Confucian king. He cut it, and his light immediately shone, and he couldn't help but praise: "What a sword!"
447. Wang Shiquan saw all this, and he wanted Zeng Guofan to lead his troops to kill him. The enemy was in need of this sword and wanted to give it to him, but he was afraid that Chuanshan would be taboo as he was a loyal minister of the former Ming Dynasty and had never cooperated with the Qing Dynasty. He came to Wang Jue'an to discuss it. Wang Jue'an thought for a while and said, "I will say a few words later and he will accept it."
448 After the visit, Shiquan invited Guest inscription.
Zeng Guofan saw Tang Jian, Tao Shu and other sages and famous people in front of him, and he did not dare to be careless. He pondered for a while and wrote a couplet: "Exegesis of Jian Shu, Six Classics in Yi Youzun, expounding the legacy of Zhou and Confucius in my text, all Confucian scholars in Han and Song Dynasties Qi "Quiting; the meaning of verses and chapters, and the Tao as the standard for life. Following Lian Luo Guanjian, he was the first gentleman in the Yuan and Ming dynasties."
449. While eating dinner, I felt sleepy. An thought about Shiquan's concerns, so he talked about the kindness of Emperors Kangxi, Qianlong and other dynasties to Chuanshan Gong, who either donated rice and silver, engraved posthumous works, or ordered the National History Museum to publish a biography. He described Wang Chuanshan, a former Ming Dynasty official, as a Qing Dynasty official. Chastity.
450 Taking this opportunity, Wang Shiquan ordered someone to bring the sword and said: "This is what Emperor Hongwu gave to Zhong Yigong, the founder of Chuanshan. With this sword, Zhong Yigong followed him. Emperor Hongwu conquered Jinling. I present this sword to you. I hope you can use it to wipe out the long hair and recover Jinling." 451. Zeng Guofan thought: Could this be a sign of recovery? Did he really create the unparalleled achievements of Jinling? He took the sword with some excitement and said: "Since I was wrongly loved, the vassal state accepted it. If I can really conquer Jinling, the vassal state will definitely engrave all the suicide notes of Chuanshan Gong in Jinling."
452 Everyone got excited and toasted to each other. Zeng Guofan thought about setting up a navy again and proposed to discuss it with everyone. Both Jue'an and Old Man Ouyang agreed very much. They believed that Hengyang had the steaming water of the Xiangjiang River, which was a good place to train naval forces. There was no need to worry about training a powerful water force.
453. Wang Shiquan immediately recommended Peng Yulin of Zhajiang to him, saying that he had written "Gongjin Water Warfare" and was very knowledgeable about naval training and warfare. He is an extremely useful talent, and promised to write a letter asking him to come to Hengzhou immediately. Jue'an and others admired Peng Yulin very much. Zeng Guofan was even happier than he had been when he got a sword.
454. Wang Shiquan and Peng Yulin had a close friendship, and they had always felt resentful that their talents were not recognized. He wrote a letter and sent it to him the next day. Zhajiang River is nearly a hundred miles away from Hengzhou, and the messenger walked for a whole day before finding Peng Yulin in a simple wooden house next to the county government office at dusk.
455. Thirty-seven-year-old Peng Yulin is a man with great ambitions, but unfortunately he has no way. After receiving a letter from Shiquan recommending him to build a navy, he was very happy. He immediately told his mother and said that he would go to his grandmother's grave tomorrow to see her. Mother knew that his son had a deep affection for his grandmother and he often went to her grandmother's grave to sit for half a day. What's more? I wanted to travel far, so I agreed.
456. Early the next morning, Yulin brought paper money and incense sticks to Dou Li Ridge outside the city. There are two graves here, one for his grandmother and one for his youthful lover, Aunt Mei. Over the years, he would come here every few days to visit. He would sit there for a long time and just use his feet to create a trail between his home and the tomb.
457. As usual, after he lit incense and paper on his grandmother's tattoo, he went to his sister-in-law's tattoo, lit incense and paper money in front of the tombstone, and said silently in his heart: " Sister-in-law, I see you here again. Tomorrow I will go to Zeng's army and fight in the north and south. I wonder if there will be a day to see you again. "
458. Cigarettes curled up, tears blurred in his eyes, and all the past events came to Yulin's eyes again.
459 In the early days, Yulin was an official in Hefei, but Yulin studied in Wuhu with her grandmother and uncle. Her aunts and uncles had no children, but Yulin was born with a handsome face and a kind-hearted nature, which made her deeply loved by her grandmother and aunts and uncles.
460. One winter afternoon, Yu Lin came home from school and saw a little girl who was so hungry that she fainted on the roadside by the stream at the foot of the mountain. She felt pity for her and took her Help him home.
461. Grandma also felt sorry for the girl, so she cooked porridge for her to drink and let her rest in bed for a long time. When the girl woke up in the evening, she knelt down and kowtowed to Yulin and her grandmother, asking them to take her in, saying that she had no parents or a home and could do any kind of work.
462. When grandma asked about her life experience, she found out that her name was Aunt Mei, she was fourteen years old, and she was from Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province.
Her parents died half a year ago, so she helped her with her ingenuity and was able to make some money by becoming a female celebrity. The neighbors took pity on her and often gave her something to eat.
463. Not long ago, a distant aunt of hers came from Hefei. When she found out about her sister-in-law, she said that she was pitiful and that she was smart and beautiful and wanted to take her to Hefei. , sent her to a theater troupe to learn to sing Yue opera.
464. My sister-in-law has loved singing Shaoxing opera since she was a child. Now that her parents are dead and she has no one to rely on, she follows her aunt to Hefei. She regarded her aunt as her savior and served her wholeheartedly.
465. One day she saw a well-dressed woman coming to see her aunt. She thought it was someone from the theater troupe, so out of curiosity, she put her ear to the window to listen. After hearing a few words, I couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that this aunt was going to sell her to a brothel.
466 Sister-in-law would rather die than obey, and ran out secretly early the next morning. I don't know the difference between east, west, north and south, and just want to be as far away from my aunt as possible. After running for two days and two nights, I was hungry and thirsty. Today I ran to the stream to drink water, and then I fainted by the stream.
467. My sister-in-law cried while she was talking, and my grandma shed tears while listening. The old lady felt sorry for her sister-in-law's hard life, and after discussing with her son and daughter-in-law, she left her sister-in-law behind and adopted her as her adopted daughter.
468. From then on, my sister-in-law regarded her grandmother as her biological mother, and she was even more caring and considerate to Yulin. She was grateful to Yulin, and she wanted to dedicate all her efforts and love to Yulin. Every morning, she Clear a basket of good books for Yulin and send him to school.
469. In the evening, she would accompany Yulin to write and draw. She helped him grind ink and lay paper, and also learned to read some words from him. One day, she asked him not to call her Aunt Mei, but to call her sister-in-law. Although Yulin felt it was not polite, she had no choice but to agree because of her persistence. He saw a blush on her face, like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, so beautiful.
470. Slowly, my sister-in-law can read books. Once, she read a book about a woman named Lanzhi who cut her flesh to treat her husband, and she was deeply moved. She wanted to be such a good woman herself.
471. Soon, Yulin fell ill and could not get out of bed for seven or eight days, and the medicine did not work. The sister-in-law remembered Lanzhi's story, so she cut a piece of meat on her arm and simmered a bowl of soup for Yulin to eat.
472. Yu Lin looked at the strange bowl of soup, his sister-in-law’s pale face, and her blood-stained arms, and he understood immediately. He was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, he grabbed her hand and shouted: "Silly little girl, she is cutting off flesh to treat illnesses. She is just saying that she is sincere. How can it really be of any use!"
473·My sister-in-law Ren Yulin held her hands, tears streaming down her face, and said stubbornly: "It's useful, it's useful! That's what the book says!"
474. The two grow up day by day, and their love for each other becomes increasingly clear and strong. But how can a nephew marry an aunt? I really want to ask the old lady to change her adopted daughter to be her god-granddaughter, but the two of them find it difficult to talk about it. The innocent love between the two is like the grass under the big stone slab, growing twisted but tenaciously.
475. When Yulin was seventeen years old, his grandmother died of illness and he will lead his family back to his hometown in Zhajiang for the funeral. Yulin was very sad, and her sister-in-law also burst into tears. She asked Yulin to draw a picture according to her wishes: next to a blooming red plum, there was a mighty unicorn.
