Xia Nan introduced: "This is Master Qian of Lingao County, and before training military knowledge, he will give you a cultural lesson." Regardless of whether you were illiterate or not, you must learn the common words and be able to read and write within the prescribed date. Literacy is taught by Master Qian, and arithmetic is taught by me. Only those who have passed all the content examinations of the cultural and military subjects will be considered qualified. ”
Many of the people here are peasants, and they can't read a single big character, and when they hear that they have to read and write, everyone has a headache. In the lamentation of everyone, Qian Youyu smiled and signaled to everyone, and then took out a few books from his arms, including "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics", "Thousand Character Texts", etc., which are all books issued by children in private schools.
The training course for officers in the Qiongzhou battalion was officially launched in August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, and in the summer, Nan, Lin Weiye, and others were busy giving classes to future officers, and they had to prepare for classes at night, and they were very busy, because they had never been teachers, especially teachers of military classes, so the pressure was naturally very great.
One day, Xia Nan, who had finished the course, returned to Nanyuan, sat on a chair, and shouted: "Chunlan, Xia He, come and beat my back and rub my shoulders, I am tired to death." ”
Chunlan and Xia He hurriedly trotted over when they heard the call of the master, and one of them was responsible for one leg and beat them gently. Summer Nan closed her eyes comfortably and pretended to sleep.
After a while, I heard the sound of broken footsteps, and put my hands on my shoulders and kneaded them gently.
"Huh?" Xia Nan felt that something was wrong, Chunlan and Xia He each beat their legs, so who was rubbing their shoulders?
He closed his eyes and reached out to grab it, his hand was delicate and silky, it was a pair of girls' hands, but they were plumper than Chunlan and Xia He's arms.
"Maria?" Xia Nan opened her eyes and looked back, and sure enough, she saw Maria's smiling face.
"Honey, I want to discuss something with you......" Maria said hesitantly, giving him a few thumps on the shoulder.
"Oh? So serious, what's the big deal? Xia Nan enjoyed the service of the three and asked lazily.
Maria pursed her lips and didn't answer right away, as if thinking about how to phrase it.
"Isn't it homesick, do you want to go back and see?" Summer South quipped.
"How do you know?" Maria's eyes widened.
Really? Xia Nan straightened up and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go back?" ”
"I ...... I want to go back to my father and ask him to agree to my marriage to you. Maria said with a red face.
Chunlan's hands paused for a moment, then continued to thrash slowly.
Xia He raised his head and asked in surprise, "Sister Maria, have you decided to marry the master?" ”
Maria smiled at Xia He and nodded.
"Maria, are you serious?" Xia Nan asked.
"Seriously, of course. I delayed returning to England to seek my father's blessing because I feared that he would not agree and that he would marry me to the son of a nobleman. Now that you are the king's general and have your own fiefdom, I think my father will approve of our marriage. ”
"Well, although your understanding of things like fiefdoms is a bit off, it doesn't matter. If you do decide, I'll be happy. I've been looking forward to you being my bride for a long time. Xia Nan grabbed Maria's left hand, led it to her mouth and kissed it gently, full of gentlemanly demeanor.
Maria covered her lip with her right hand so as not to lose her temper too much in front of Chunlan and Xia He, and she almost shouted happily, "Me too, I've been looking forward to being your bride for a long time."
"Then hurry up and get ready, get back to your father early, and I'll go back with you, and take the clippers, and you'll be back to London in less than a third of the time you used to have." Xia Nan smiled, and thought silently in his heart: Go quickly, if you do this early, you will not be bound by Christian premarital sex, and I have been looking forward to eating you for a long time.
However, he immediately realized that he could not leave Lingao at this point in time, and patted his head in annoyance.
"I'm sorry, Maria, I don't think I can go back with you. I had just been appointed a general by the emperor and had a legal status, but the crisis was not completely eliminated. And my soldiers are still learning how to be a real officer, and they need my help. ”
Maria was a little disappointed, but she also knew that it was really hard for Xia Nan to leave early and return late during this time.
"Your business is very important, so I'll go back alone. But you have to find a way to prove to my father that I chose an oriental general, not a random homeless man on the street. ”
"There's no problem with that. I will ask Lao Lin to build you a beautiful clipper ship, called the 'Maria', full of gifts from China, and send fifty elite soldiers to protect it. Xia Nan said generously.
"Really? Built me a beautiful ship like that? And send fifty soldiers to protect? Maria happily held her face.
"Of course it's true. But until the ship is built, you can wait with peace of mind. ”
After Maria left, Xia Nan closed her eyes while enjoying Chunlan and Xia He's massage services, thinking about Maria's request.
Although Maria's idea seems a bit utilitarian - she only proposed marriage after Xia Nan's victory and her appointment as a general - Xia Nan is not incomprehensible, it is normal for a 17th-century English aristocratic family to value the social status and wealth of her husband, and Maria just said it openly and did not hide it. Speaking of which, in terms of the concept of portals, the Celestial Empire is not lost to any country in this world, whether it is in the Ming Dynasty or in the 21st century, who doesn't want to let their daughter marry into a household? It's just that with the progress of the times, this kind of appeal has become less naked than in ancient times.
That night, it was Xia He's turn to sleep, and Xia Nan lay on the bed with Xia He in her arms, thinking that Maria would marry her after getting the approval of the family, and then she would be able to get her wish and explore Maria's plump and charming body.
Thinking of this, there was a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, he turned over and pressed Xia He under him, reached out to peel off her little clothes, and said, "Good Xia He, come and discuss life with the master." ”
Xia He chuckled: "Master, you are dead, every time you talk about discussing life, you are actually doing bad things!" ”
Xia Nanshou didn't stop, but he said: "What's a bad thing, discussing life is actually discussing people, as for how to give birth to a person, it is natural to do Dunlun's things." Speaking of this, I chuckled in my heart: I have slept with Chunlan and Xia He for so long, without any protective measures, why don't their stomachs move? It can't be that there are any after-effects left by the crossing, right?
