Chapter 89: A Family Letter Wet With Tears
Chapter 89 A tearful letter home
Shen Liuzhen changed his tone to a more relaxed tone and drew the distance between himself and Shi Yu Ulei closer, but he still did not give in and said:
"Thank you for your generosity. It's just that Cao Min is a Han and I'm here alone. If one day someone doesn't like me and accuses Cao Min of being disrespectful, then I'll be dead. It's better to be cautious. It can save your life.”
Ulei sneered, looked at him and said, "I hear there's something in your words. What annoys me the most is the virtue of you Han people. Things that can be explained clearly in one sentence must be said in a roundabout way."
"No ordinary people... don't understand the meaning of the direct emperor's grandson." Shen Liuzhen put down the chopsticks in his hands, put his hands on his knees, and opened his big eyes innocently and meekly.
Ulei stared at Shen Liuzhen's expression, chewed something in his mouth, picked up the bowl with one hand and took a sip of the soup. Before he could swallow the food, he said:
"Hmph...don't you just want to say that my other fellow readers are very hostile to you and are trying to squeeze you out? Just be satisfied. If your surname was not Shen but Xie, they would be blocking you every day now. Fight, fight whenever we meet, now it’s pretty good.”
Shen Liuzhen sighed helplessly and said: "...They are just venting their anger. How unjust I am."
"How are you wronged? Xie Bai is taking the lead in discriminating against us Xianbei people, why can't we hate him and go back?" Ulei raised his chin and looked at Shen Liuzhen with a haughty expression.
Shen Liuzhen lowered his head, thought for a while and said seriously: "...If Situ Xie really discriminated against nobles, he would not have devoted himself to serving the three emperors of Wei."
Ulei broke off a piece of pancake and threw it into the bowl, pursed his lips and said:
"Hmph... It's hard to say. You people from the clans don't actually care about the court name. You only care about being able to participate in government affairs and shadow your own family. Xie Situneng pointed to the rosacea of the Wang family and said that it was born from a noble family. , which shows that in his heart, only the origin and blood of clan members who have stood firm for thousands of years are the most noble..."
Ulei paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Liuzhen and said: "...No matter how rich our ancestors are, what's so great about them? If they are trampled under our Xianbei people's feet, if they say the clan is exterminated... then the clan will be exterminated."
Shen Liuzhen listened with his head lowered, feeling panic in his heart and unable to sit still. After hesitating for a moment, he got up from his seat, bowed respectfully to Ulay, and said meekly and humbly:
"This is what the direct emperor's grandson taught you."
…
In the dead of night, Shen Liuzhen looked out the window at the unfamiliar and lonely scenery of the palace city. He sighed, put a pen on his desk and began to write a letter to his teacher Xie Yun who was far away in the south.
On a piece of paper, he wrote down all his thoughts and feelings after arriving here. He wrote five pages straight, such as:
It was very hard on the road, and I kept walking. The skin on my legs was worn out, dirty and scabbed, and now it has grown into black scars.
Also, the people in power in Pingcheng are all Hu people, and there are strange faces everywhere that look different from your own. Not only do you feel like you can’t blend in, but in fact, the Han people and the Hu people discriminate against each other, and there are even fights at every turn. Happened, he lived on tenterhooks every day, being careful about everything he said or did. He especially missed the days when he was at home...
...The direct emperor Sun Wu Lei himself is a nice person, but he doesn't like Han people very much. He often excludes him from the children of Xianbei nobles. Although he doesn't take any action, he is accused of being wrong every day, and he feels very uncomfortable... …
Teacher...I have no friends here. How is Xie Yuan?...I miss her very much, I miss you and my wife very much...
When Shen Liuzhen wrote this, his tears fell on the paper with a "pop" sound. Then he held the pen and started crying.
Tears fell on the paper, soaking the letter paper in a short while, and the few handwritings that were not yet dry immediately smudged into flowers.
He dragged the letter paper forward and read over what he had written, feeling much better.
So I raised my sleeves to wipe the tears from my face, put down my pen, crumpled the letters into a ball and threw them away, spread out new paper, and started writing again.
This time, he did not write so much, nor did he write about the hardships. He just told the teacher that he had entered Pingcheng a few days ago, the emperor's grandson he had met a few days ago, where he lived now, and that everything was fine. Don't worry about him.
I just can't get used to the food here, so I want to send someone back to learn cooking skills and then come back to cook for myself.
Finally, he asked if there was any news about his father, and said hello to his wife. Then he asked emphatically whether Xie Yuan had been found, and had he been beaten?
He said that if she was willing, let her write to him often. He was very lonely here and had no friends yet. He missed her very much. He originally wanted to ask if Xie Yuan could come over to accompany him.
But when he thought about it, he had already had a difficult time in Pingcheng. How could he let her suffer this because of his selfishness? So he gave up the idea and stopped writing directly.
After putting it in the envelope, he handed it to Liu Qinbing and told him:
"Brother Liu, you will leave the palace tomorrow and find an honest Han man who is talented and has good cooking skills. Let him follow the messenger and go to the Xie family to learn cooking skills, especially butter snacks and the like. He must learn it well, and then Bring people back again. I will be of great use."
Liu Qinbing took the letter and knew what was going on when he heard the butter cake, so he directly put the letter into his arms, said "yes" and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find you a reliable one." people."
…
…
During the past few days when Xie Yuan was the temporary team leader, everyone felt that she was different.
Although sometimes it's a bit off-kilter, like last time, when I was teaching someone to practice, I suddenly hit a field mouse with a spear.
If this was an adult, and it was a scene in front of everyone, he would definitely care about his own image, and he would definitely not be as self-conscious about what he thinks about it.
But many times, she acts like a mature adult and is more sensible than the elders in the team.
For example, even if she loses her temper, she will never curse. Instead, she will reason with you first. When she doesn't make sense...
I'll take action to convince him first.
For another example, she is obviously the youngest in the team, but she is the best at taking care of others. If there are injured people in the team, she will eat very little food herself, and then save it for the injured people, and then she will lead others to help the injured people. Wash the changed cloth and clothes.
Although once she gets started, you can tell that she is a novice who has just started doing laundry on her own.
Everyone knows that she comes from a privileged family and studied under a famous family, so they don't understand her psychology of being a top soldier and enduring hardships with them.
Almost everyone who has the opportunity to talk to Xie Yuan will first ask: Why do you come to be a pawn?
Xie Yuan would say seriously every time: "I want to be a general."
"Isn't your master a general? Let him recommend you and lead you. Why start as a pawn?"
Xie Yuan stopped talking.
