Chapter 621 Look, there’s a fat monkey hanging on the tree!
“Sister, what is this, two tubes stuck together?” Jia An rushed over, took the black thing from his sister’s hand, and looked up and down.
Jiaxi also stepped forward and started to play with it, "It's not made of iron. It's very light. Why are there two pieces of glass inlaid in it?"
Jiayin was afraid that her brothers might accidentally drop something, so she quickly held it in her arms and said, "This is a clairvoyant. Let's go to the entrance of the village and show you something new!"
"Clairvoyance? Can you really see a thousand miles away?" Jiaxi got off the ground and put on her shoes, and took the initiative to carry her sister out.
Jia'an picked up his sister's shoes and followed behind, suddenly shouting: "Oh, I remember in Quanzhou, someone in the teahouse said that those foreigners have some kind of clairvoyance, isn't this it?"
"Yes, clairvoyance! I remembered it too!" Jia Xi was so happy that she jumped up and almost hit the door frame.
Before she could scream at the good news, the two brothers had already protected her and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.
At this moment, the afterglow of the sunset on the horizon has not completely dissipated, reflecting the sky and the earth in orange. The birds returning late spread their wings and flutter past...
The villagers have all gone home to eat, and only a lonely old tree is left at the usually bustling entrance to the village.
Jia Anjiaxi climbed up the tree trunk and sat side by side.
The view here is the best and you can see the farthest.
Jiayin picked up the telescope and put it in front of his eyes, finally adjusting the focus.
This is an old military item she bought while walking in the night market in her previous life. Although it looks a little clumsy, it is much better than those toys.
Jia'an and Jiaxi each stretched out a hand and put it behind their sister, lest she fall down.
"Are you okay, sister? Let me see quickly, can you really see a thousand miles?" Jiaxi was anxious and couldn't help urging.
Jiayin quickly handed over the telescope, then turned around to find a stable branch...Hold on.
Sure enough, as soon as Jia Xi put the telescope on his eyes, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah, what is that? Bird! Cloud! No, there is Dawangzhuang! It's too close, it's so clear!"
Jia'an immediately rushed over, grabbed the telescope, and shouted, "Ah, you can really see thousands of miles! This is Dawangzhuang, and there are three people at the entrance of the village!"
"show me!"
“Oops, let me watch for a while!”
The two brothers soon started fighting crazily for a telescope.
And the sister who was held in their hands just now was already climbing on the branch, with a look on her face... as expected!
Jiayin rolled her eyes helplessly.
The reliability of her two brothers only appeared occasionally. Most of the time, they would be like this. Their attention was attracted and they would leave her sister aside.
This knowledge was firmly rooted in her heart when she almost became a slate barbecue when she was a child...
The Marquis took a dozen personal guards and ran back to the new village on horseback. From a distance, he saw someone standing on the tree at the entrance of the village.
As he walked in, he saw clearly that Jia Xi and Jia An were holding strange tubes and shining them at him.
And on the branch next to it, there was a fat monkey hanging.
Fat monkey? !
The Marquis was startled, stepped on the horse's back and flew up. Then he hugged his beloved fat girl and landed firmly on the ground. He asked angrily: "What's going on? What if I fall and hit my head?"
Jiayin bared her teeth and smiled awkwardly.
She underestimated her two brothers' obsession with telescopes. Fortunately, her adoptive father came back, otherwise her paws would have cramped... Jia'an and Jiaxi didn't know that a disaster was coming, and they were still mumbling.
“This horse’s nostrils are so big!”
“No, the eyes are bigger!”
The Marquis raised his foot and kicked the trunk of the tree. The two boys immediately fell down and scrambled to get up. They were stunned for a long time before they remembered what was wrong.
They were having so much fun that they seemed to have forgotten their sister!
The Marquis bent down and picked up the telescope. Without looking at what it was, he handed it to Jiayin, then carried her into the yard.
Jia'an and Jiaxi quickly followed them.
Jiaxi was the first to admit his mistake with a smile, "Hey, Mr. Hou, we were wrong. I was so absorbed in watching it just now that I forgot to take care of Fu Niuer."
"Yes, yes!" Jia An quickly agreed, "We saw you running over and getting closer, so we watched you for a while longer. This clairvoyance is so amazing!"
The Marquis ignored them and went directly into the Li family yard.
Jiayin secretly made faces with her two brothers, and then threw the binoculars over.
Jia An and Jia Xi understood each other, took the telescope and ran away.
How could the Marquis not know about their little moves? He reached out and patted the fat **** the back and said: "From now on, I will carry Shui Ling Shui Yun with me wherever I go. These two boys are so out of touch that they forget everything when they go crazy."
"Hey, I got it, foster father." Jiayin quickly changed the subject, "Father, my brothers are going to sea to see foreign countries. Grandma asked them to learn their skills for three years before setting off."
“Really?” The Marquis responded without saying anything more.
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying were discussing trivial matters at home. Seeing Mr. Hou coming back at this time, Tao Hongying hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of chicken noodle soup and two side dishes.
After Mr. Hou finished eating, he talked to Old Mrs. Li. When asked about the two boys going to sea, Old Mrs. Li said: "These are just two monkeys. They can't be trapped. Just let them out and let them toss." Bar!
“Let Zhensheng come back another day and ask him to find an old boatman to teach them the skills at sea and see if they can persevere.”
The Marquis nodded, "Although we don't have much contact between Tianwu and overseas countries, the Foreign Affairs Department still has some manpower and is always active.
"Why don't I put the two boys in here so they can learn foreign languages, customs, and sailing skills?"
"Is this the case? Isn't it troublesome?" Mrs. Li was happy and a little moved when she heard this, but she was even more worried about causing trouble to Mr. Hou.
The Marquis shook his head and said, "They originally lacked manpower, because the imperial court's focus is now on Jiangbei. But I feel that pirates in the outer sea are becoming more and more rampant, and foreigners are coming and going more and more, so the precautions that should be taken cannot be relaxed. !
"If Jiangbei is recaptured in the future and trouble occurs in the south, we cannot be unprepared. The two boys are learning more skills now. If there is no problem in the south, it is best for them to go to sea to play or do business. If there is a war together, they will give themselves It’s easier to find a career.”
Old Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly after hearing this, which was an unexpected surprise.
Neither Jia Xi nor Jia An is good at studying. She originally thought that going to sea to become a businessman would be enough.
I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to get an official position in the future!
"Okay, okay, Mr. Marquis, I will leave them to you." Mrs. Li took Mr. Hou's hand and was indescribably grateful, "These children in the family are really thanks to you."
The Marquis took advantage of the situation and said, "I'm afraid the two children will have to endure hardship in the future..."
"What are you afraid of if you endure hardship!" Mrs. Li waved her hand and didn't feel anything was wrong at all. "How can anyone learn a skill without enduring hardship? These two boys are very stubborn. You can do whatever you want! If they are afraid of hardship, they will stay at home and farm in the future. Hell, I don’t have to worry about it.”
"Well, I will go into the city tomorrow and take them with me on the way." The Marquis smiled and immediately decided on the "miserable" days for the two boys in the future.
Jiayin sat aside, smiling sweetly, but in her heart she wiped a handful of tears of sympathy for her two brothers...
