Chapter 617 (1/2)
The soldier said to Magui, ”write down all the things you said to me. In particular, we should remind my family that we should not ask people to claim the bills when they are ready.
And tell them that when they receive money, five Liang is fifty Liang. I've already paid the service charge, they don't have to pay another cent. And tell them not to worry about me. I'm good here
Ma GUI nods and writes it down.
The two pages were full.
Ma GUI asked the soldier, ”would you like to check it and see if there are any mistakes?”
The big head soldier grabbed his head and said, ”boss, can you help me to have a look? Is this letter right?”
Gu fan put down his pen and glanced at the letter written by Ma GUI word by word, ”except for a few wrong words, the content is correct, and they are all written according to what you said.”
The soldier laughed and was very satisfied.
Gu is a little embarrassed.
When he was studying in school, he was a good student. I didn't expect that when I arrived at the barracks, I was worshipped by people.
It's really embarrassing.
What's more, his handwriting is ugly. In the words of the master, there is no character.
It's better than the words of the courier Ma GUI.
The characters written by sour scholar next door are ten times better than his.
Gu Gu covered the letter paper and didn't ask the soldiers to read it.
When the boss, writing so ugly, what a shame.
Gu's eyebrows were all wrinkled.
He really doesn't like writing letters. It's troublesome.
He has read books for several years. He can't write a letter with words of mouth like the courier Ma GUI.
Anyway, it has to be a bit of a literary talent. He was so literate that he didn't read his books for nothing in those years.
This is bitter Gu Gu.
In a word, it's easy and quick to say. I wrote it down, but I couldn't find the exact wording.
It's hard for him.
He dropped his pen. ”I'll go out.”
No matter what people think, they went out with the writing paper.
Out of a corner, secretly into the old scholar's home.
He opened his mouth and cried, ”scholar, scholar. When business comes, you should not rush out to meet the guests. ”
”Which son of a tortoise is shouting outside?”
A dirty scholar opened the broken window and saw Gu Gu. He grinned suddenly.
”It's general Gu. Come on, come on. Do you have wine? ”
Gu Gu opened the door and entered the room. ”I don't have any wine today. I'd like to ask you to polish this letter for me.”
I knew everything about the old scholar's face. I promised not to tell anyone what he looked like. ”General Gu wrote to his family again. It's been a lot of writing lately. ”
”There's so much nonsense. My sister has added a nephew to me. I haven't been back for several years. I have to be more concerned. ”
”That is, that is. General Gu loves his family so much. Your family is blessed. ”
”Don't talk nonsense. Let's see if my writing is OK, and where I need to improve. You write it for me, and I'll copy it again. ”
The old scholar sat under the window, looking at it in the light of the sky.
Then I picked up my pen and made some modifications.
”Look, general Gu, how have I changed?”
Gu Gu finished reading it and grinned, ”yes, that's the taste. This is the retouching fee. You can drink with it. ”
Gu Gu gave half a liang of silver directly, but the old scholar refused without affectation. He only said, ”thank you, general Gu. You can come often.”
Gu Gu went out of the door, turned back and asked, ”do you want to work in the express station next door? Food and housing, and monthly salary. In the coming year, there will be one and a half months' holiday, and the business will send you home directly. ”
”Thank you very much, general Gu. My identity, can not go to express station, not bad business. Even if the express station can send me back to my hometown, I can't go back. Do you forget, general Gu? I'm a man of sin. ”
A good scholar was exiled to the northwest. Either he committed a crime to avoid the government, or he was convicted and sent to the northwest.
Obviously, the old scholar should be the second situation.
No one can remember when he came to the northwest. Anyway, people around him know that there are people like him here.
Yamen side, estimated not to look through the old files, do not know that there are such a number one person.
Just because the Yamen forgot him doesn't mean he can walk around freely.
When you enter the city gate, you will know that he is a person who is guilty when he shows his identity document. It's okay to get things done.
No wonder the old scholar seems to live a natural life, but he never goes to the city, does not marry and has children, and never mentions the matter of returning to his ancestral home.
