How could the officer not know that she was illiterate, and that was only to lead her to the following words. The officer immediately patted his forehead and said, "I forgot!" When Ishitaro finished writing this letter, he told me that you were illiterate, and asked me to read it to you. ”

The officer's words stirred up huge waves in the hearts of Momoko and the villagers, and the scene was in an uproar! Because everyone knows that Shitaro is just an ordinary villager who is illiterate at all. But this person actually said that Shi Taro wrote the letter himself, it's impossible! Maybe this gang is a liar! However, the villagers did not dare to move when they saw the swords on the waists of the two guards, so they had to quiet down and watch the development of the situation.

Momoko stammered, "But, but my Shitaro, he, he can't read at all?" How, how will you write back? ”

The officer deliberately amplified his voice and said: "You don't know, in our Foreign Legion, learning literacy is a must. Every day, they are taught to read and write. So it's not at all surprising that he wrote the letter himself! ”

Peaches was amazed at what she said! Even the neighbors around them whispered one by one, looking incredulous.

The officer said, "I know you may not believe it. But I made an appointment with Ishitaro, and he wrote in the letter something that only the two of you know, and as long as you listen to it, you will believe it! ”

Saying that, the officer opened his faith and said, "Momoko, I'm Ishitaro." This letter is really written to you by me. I remember when we first gave birth to Ichiro, I said that I wanted Ichiro to become a soldier in the future, maybe one day I could become a samurai! But you objected, saying that you were going to send Ichiro to the store as a buddy. ”

The officer read this, looked up at Peaches and said, "How is it, do you remember?" ”

At this time, Momoko's face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of tears! She nodded again and again and said, "That's right, there is such a thing!" This letter was really written by Ishitaro! ”

Now the surprise of the surrounding neighbors is even louder! The officer said, "If you believe it, then I'll continue to read." ”

Momoko nodded again and again and said, "Please continue, my lord!" Please! ”

The officer continued: "Peach, this is my great achievement!" The Legion rewarded me with a hundred acres of land and fifty

Two pieces of silver! I bought three slaves for ten taels of silver to plow the land, so hurry up and come with our chief!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cultivate a hundred acres of land! ”

Just now the officer said that someone taught Shi Taro to read and write is already a very strange and surprising thing, but now Shi Taro actually got a hundred acres of land, and a lot of silver, which is really amazing!

The noise of the villagers was so loud that you could hear it from outside the village! The guards rushed into the village when they heard the sound, and when they saw that Liu Pei was safe and sound, they stopped not far away. But at this time, the villagers' attention was completely on the letter in the officer's hand, and they did not notice the group of armed guards standing behind them.

The officer looked up and shouted: "Quiet! ”

All the villagers immediately quieted down and did not dare to make any more noise. They pricked up their ears and listened to the officer continue.

The officer bowed his head and said, "There is one more good news!" This time, the legion also rewarded me with the ability to become a Han Chinese! From today, we're going to have a last name too! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar among the villagers for the third time! And this time it sounded far better than the previous two!

It's no wonder that these villagers were surprised to look like this. Because the ordinary people of the Wa Kingdom have never had a surname. They would not have a surname until the Meiji Restoration issued the Miao Zi Must Be Called Order. Now all the people with surnames in the Wa Kingdom are nobles. At the very least, you have to be a samurai. Or rather, those samurai were once nobles.

Another reason why they should make a noise is that the Shitaro family will change from Japanese to Han. In the minds of the Japanese people, China is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and everything they have learned from the Celestial Empire.

In their impression, there is endless food and endless silk in the Heavenly Empire, and everyone lives happily! If you can become a Han Chinese, you will be happier than being a samurai and having a surname! So it's not surprising that they're making loud noises.

The officer waited until all the widows had quieted down before he continued: "Do not be afraid, just do everything as our commander tells you, and you will soon see me." And as long as Ichiro gets here, he will go to school, and he will definitely become a real person in the future

Readers! By the way, I also asked the chief to bring twenty taels of silver to my father. That's all for now, come as soon as possible! ”

The officer finished reading the letter and handed it back to Momoko. Momoko took it with both hands excitedly, and although she didn't know it, she still looked at the words on it carefully, as if she could see Ishitaro! After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly said nervously: "My lord, but what does the circle on this mean?" That shouldn't be a word, right? ”

The neighbors who watched the excitement were stunned for a moment, and then became happy again! People are like this, there are too many bad roots, especially the Japanese people. Always jealous of other people's achievements. You will only be happy when you see someone better than yourself fall into the mud!

At first, they thought that Ishitaro must have died outside. But when he found out that Shitaro not only did not die, but made a fortune, he was full of envy and jealousy. Now I found that many of the letters were not circled by words, which means that the letter was not written by Shitaro at all. Peach's family may be happy for nothing. So they're excited again! Some people are even already muttering that these people must be liars who have come to cheat the peach family's money.

The officer looked at it and said, "Oh, that's normal. Ishitaro: He hasn't been learning writing for a long time, and there are a lot of words he doesn't know how to write. So you can only draw a circle instead. I was able to read this letter because he read it to me first, and I understood what the circles meant. In addition, Shi Taro also asked me to give you twenty taels of silver. ”

After speaking, the officer took out two snow-white ingots from the satchel on his back and handed them over. When Momoko took the two ingots, she completely believed the officer's words. Because even a liar can't make such a big investment!

These twenty taels of silver, not to mention the money and belongings in his family, are not worth so much even their mother and son! So after the peach was so excited that she bowed again and again, and even her body trembled!

The officer said, "It's still early, so you mother and son can pack up your things and go with me." You can stay on the boat tonight. ”

Momoko looked back at the door and said, "My lord, but it's too late to pack up today!" Why don't you be wronged by an adult and stay in my house for one night. I'll pack my things overnight and leave early tomorrow morning. ”
