There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea

Chapter One of the fifty-eighth piece: (9)

Poor Li Gongzi told his father to beat him up without telling him, and was still being held in the Shangguo Mansion to admit his mistake. He was spoiled by his mother, or he was afraid of being beaten. No face appeared in front of Xun Mian again!

Madam Li is a daughter-in-law and cannot be beaten. Apart from verbal reprimands, Mrs. Li slept in the aunt’s yard for several months, and even made Madam Li tearful. I never dared to make those crooked ideas again. After fighting, the mother and daughter finally became more obedient. As time passed, Li's popularity disappeared, and the family was reconciled as before. However, neither Li Zhan nor Mrs. Li dare When thinking about marriage, Master Li said it personally, and he will be the master when his son's marriage comes.

When the family’s affairs were over, Xun Mian heaved a sigh of relief. She and Xun Tao slept in a bed at night. When the sisters talked quietly at night, they also asked each other about their visions of the future, but whether it was Xun Tao or Xun Tao. Xun Mian never thought about marrying someone.

Xun Tao knew that she and Yan must have seen each other early. She thought so in her heart, but did not dare to say. She always felt that she had been bullied for the first ten years of her life, and finally returned to the Guogong. Returning to his own identity, but facing the day of marrying a husband and teaching his children, in the future, will he have to go round and round around his husband and children, and can't have his own life?

But these thoughts in her heart are also vague, the only thing is that she loves to hear Mother Zeng tell her about the heroic deeds of her grandmother a few decades ago. enemy.

At the end of the new year, the Guogong Mansion was in peace. People put on Spring Festival couplets and hung red lanterns early. They only waited for a palace banquet tomorrow night, which is the day when families reunite.

Linglong did not go to the palace when she was old in the past, but this year she did. The emperor personally came down and held her hand to greet her, without concealing his respect and love for her. The first emperor fought for many years, and the suffering was serious. When the emperor was young, he became emperor. At that time, the government was unstable. It was because of the old man and the old prince who stood firmly by his side, so that he could hold on step by step. Daquan, he has always remembered this kindness.

Linglong can be said to be the oldest person in the audience. The female family members are treated by the Queen Empress in the apse, but she had fought the country with the Emperor Xian, so she was left in the front hall by the emperor. Together with the civil and military officials, the emperor also personally Leading her to the position where she started, can be said to be very faceless.

So when he was full of wine and food, Linglong proposed to rebuild the women's army.

Before the emperor had spoken, some pedantic civil servants took the initiative to protest: "The old lady said that is wrong. It is the duty of the woman to be the husband and the son of the family. It would not be a hindrance to the gentleman to go out and show her face to fight and kill! What's more, I am now. Guotai Min'an, what kind of women's army does it want, and it is a joke, do you want women to go to war!"

The emperor's eyebrows were deep, and he glanced at the civil official, which was quite meaningful.

When he came to the throne, no matter whether he was the grandfather of the country or the old prince, his age was gone. Therefore, the old prince in the emperor’s memory was kind and gentle, satisfying his illusion of his mother, but in recent years, the grandfather of the country A lot of things happened in the mansion before he really saw the old prince's methods. He was able to carry his sword on the battlefield back then, how can he be at Ronghua now?

And only he and his confidants knew that the border land has not been peaceful in recent years. Perhaps the truce has allowed those barbarians to cultivate their health and rest well over the years. They began to harass the border looting goods and even tortured civilians, asking the emperor to see that there will be a battle sooner or later. The barbarians grew up on horseback, brave and capable of fighting with one enemy and one hundred, but the soldiers of this dynasty were too comfortable. When he became the throne, the women's army had been disbanded. Now the old prince mentioned it again, the emperor wanted to have a look at the past.

It's just that Confucian scholars are very demanding on women nowadays. They are no longer as open-minded as they were when the country was founded. Many people even wrapped their daughters' feet. They were raised in deep boudoirs for more than ten years, and the only day they went out was to marry their husbands.

The emperor himself had daughters. To be fair, if his daughters lived like this, he would be unhappy in his heart.

"Haha." Linglong sneered at the civil official, "You look down on women like this, why, you are born and raised by your father? Does your mother know that you say women are useless in front of the emperor? Climb out between the legs!"

She spoke harshly and meanwhile, so that the civil official was trembling with anger, but because of her seniority here, she couldn't really tear it up with her.

Linglong also said: "Back then, the old man and the Emperor Xian fought the world, and I never saw the Emperor Xian once said that a woman's family was incapable! Even if the old woman's army has repeatedly made marvelous achievements, even if the Emperor Xian has a lot of admiration, it will be irritating to you. A joke, why, you are more capable than Emperor Xian, and you can see through what Xian Emperor can't see at a glance?!"

Relying on her seniority and seniority, she crushed the civil servant to death with a single sentence. This hat was snapped off, and the other party really immediately knelt on the ground and shivered!

Linglong thinks this is just a nasty criticism.

There are all civil and military officials. It is impossible to say how much everyone supports the women's army, but it can not be achieved. Doesn't it all depend on the emperor's meaning? Regardless of how many people disagree or disagree, but they all keep their mouths shut and protect themselves. Only this naive person rushes directly out and says it's no good, don't you say you don't scold him!

"The emperor." After cursing, he immediately began to pretend that the poor exquisite eye circles were red. "The old man is getting older, and I don't know if I can still serve for the emperor for a few years. We have one more way out, the minds of loving the country and loving the emperor are the same, why are women inferior to others? Please also ask the emperor to look at the face of our old man and allow the old man to rebuild the women's army!"

The emperor pondered for a long time. In fact, he agreed with him from the bottom of his heart. He just wanted to make an appearance, and the old lady did not rashly propose. As early as a few months ago, the old man wrote a letter and entered the palace. The two communicated for a long time. The ideas and suggestions of each other were exchanged, and the emperor's confidantes all knew about it.

So someone came out: "The old lady is loyal to the liver and righteous, and the words are from the heart and soul, and the minister seconded the reconstruction of the women's army."

"The minister seconded."

"The minister seconded."

There are more and more people who agree with it, and those who don't agree with it, at first glance, what else does not understand? The emperor's meaning is here! Even if they disagree in their hearts, they still have to stand with the emperor on the surface, and one after another came out to show their secondments.

So the matter was settled in this way. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate enough military pay and the old prince, and sent his two confidantes to assist with full authority. He only hoped that before the war between the two countries, the women’s army could be generalized. Training takes shape.

Mother Zeng was excited and tears filled her eyes when she heard that the women's army was to be rebuilt! In her life, she never thought that one day she could return to the army!

Linglong patted her hand: "I have been living here with me these years, I have wronged you."

Mother Zeng shook her head repeatedly: "You are the master of the old slave. The old slave is where you are. What's wrong with you? But, old lady, can we really rebuild the women's army?!"

Linglong nodded: "This is natural."

Mother Zeng still had many worries in her heart, but she slowly settled her mind as she watched her master's calmness. It was even more difficult when they formed the women's army back then. Didn't they survive in the end? The mind of protecting the family and the country is the same for women!

Xun Tao found Linglong for the first time and said that he wanted to join the army!

Linglong smiled: "Do you want to join the army? Look at you with thin arms and legs, how can you join the army?"

"I have a lot of strength!" Xun Tao said anxiously, "grandmother please, give granddaughter this opportunity! Just an ordinary soldier is enough! Granddaughter will definitely work hard!"

She expected that, Linglong didn't tease her. Xun Tao had been by her side for three years. She was always first-class in knowledge and courage, and she was no longer the pitiful appearance she used to be. To rebuild the women's army, there is no need for someone like her to volunteer.

And Xun Tao is very sensitive to numbers. Before the women's army is formed, she can temporarily serve as a clerk.

Soon the imperial court issued a notice. At first, the people thought what was so good about the draft notice? As a result, a closer look revealed that the recruits were actually female soldiers! It turned out that it was the female general who was with Emperor Xiandi who wanted to rebuild the female army! The news spread suddenly. There are Linglong's former ministry, and those who can walk vigorously, don't forget the glory of the past, and come with a family!

These people are about the same age as Linglong, so naturally they can't go to battle to kill the enemy, but they have a wealth of experience and experience, and they happen to be teachers of recruits.

The conscription conditions for female soldiers are very good. As long as they are of the right age, they can be voluntary without the consent of their family members. They also receive monthly salary every month. After a certain period of time in the female army, the court even allows them to set up female households!

In recent years, the world has become more and more stern and contemptuous of women. Many people don’t want to give birth to a baby girl. There are a lot of discarded ones. Linglong has taken a fancy to these young girls who have no worries and are immature. Charity halls have been established in various places to raise these girls and send teachers to teach them. Now that there is no war in the country, and many generals have nothing to do, Linglong will all come and serve as martial arts masters for the children.

Xun Tao was also busy, but Xun Mian couldn't study, and her body was poor. Seeing her sister was so busy that she didn't touch her feet and didn't return home, and grandmother Zeng was away from home all day long, she was anxious and wanted to do something.

In the end, she begged Linglong to learn from the imperial doctor. After all, the female soldiers would inevitably be injured, and it would be inconvenient if they were male military doctors. Linglong intends to train female doctors, and also allows people to select carefully thought-out girls to study with Xun Mian.

Then, she gave all the power to Mother Zeng, and she acted as a hand-off shopkeeper, running around the country, and even the emperor implicitly greeted her. The old lady is getting older, so she should rest well and be afraid of her. Troubles are running everywhere.

Oh, a group of naive people.

Not only did she not run out of illness, she was getting healthier and stronger, and she was even younger and younger, and she didn't have a single white hair! Unlike the one sitting in the dragon chair, his hair is much whiter when he is only thirty years old.

Seeing that the women's army is becoming stronger and stronger, everything is orderly, and there are also those sour scholars who are clamoring against them and wanting women to go home to have children. Every time they hear this kind of remarks, the old lady gives full play to the privileges of her age. , Hit the door directly, who cares about the person who speaks, who dares to say she will beat anyone, who calls her the founding veteran, who calls her the one with the oldest generation? !

Over time, fewer and fewer people talked about it.

The women's army does not specifically serve for wars. Linglong is very good at tapping the strengths of human beings. Could it be said that only those who are strong and strong can fight, and those who are weak in individuals are not eligible to join the army?

Frail people may have smart brains, may have excellent memory, and may have talents that others can't imagine.

She didn't express her thoughts directly at the beginning, but told the emperor that she wanted the girls taught by the old ministry to practice. The emperor agreed without even thinking about it. He had 100% trust in Linglong. He didn't see the old lady running around but leaving his sons in the capital! Although he doesn't doubt the old lady, the attitude of the old lady is here, isn't it?

In the beginning, those girls with special talents entered the basic department one after another. For example, they worked as a doctor in the county office, a doctor girl in a medical clinic, and a bank accountant in the office... There are really many girls who boil frogs in such warm water. Make a marvelous achievement! Some have solved major cases, some have rescued the people of one party, and some have discovered hidden dangers and raised the levee in time! Gradually, the people were the first to accept this group of female soldiers.

Especially young but very clever children, they look thin and harmless, they are simply magical tools for inquiring news! Because no one would doubt them at all, just like that, many corrupt officials were uprooted, and the emperor was refreshed when he went to court! Although he had allocated a lot of money to the women's army from the Ministry of Households, he also made it back! Not to mention the money earned by the girls who are good at doing business, but the corrupt officials in remote areas, every time they copy a treasury, they can get a large sum of money!

There were even female soldiers who discovered crops that could be used as food. The emperor became more aware of the usefulness of women. He would personally call these young girls who made credit every few months, and deeply moved that some of their talents were not inferior at all. For a man, if he is really trapped in the backyard all his life, dealing with the husband's wives, concubines and children all the time, that would be a violent thing!

The emperor’s attitude is here, what else can the civil and military officials say?

The trend is slowly turning around. If there are female soldiers who want to start a family, Linglong will not stop her, she does not matter if she wants to join the army, she wants to study medicine, or she wants to marry a child, she is only responsible for giving them the right to choose. ——Life should be in your own hands.

Xun Tao and Xun Mian have also grown a lot, especially Xun Mian. She used to be a little girl who didn't dare to speak loudly, but now she dares to take a knife and fight against someone with a bad heart! The two sisters had been hacked a lot, and they had a lot of trouble. Linglong saw each other after a few months, but she was shocked by the two gangsters and couldn't speak.

The little granddaughter, who is like a flower, is as dark as something because she runs all day long, but she has a very good spirit.

Xun Mian said loudly: "Who said that women must be white and thin to be beautiful! I think I am beautiful now!"

Xun Tao made a fist: "Yes! I am in charge of my body!"

Linglong laughed out loud. She lost her strength, but there are still a lot of things she can do. The only pity is that she used to be able to solve all obstacles simply and rudely with force, but now she can only do it step by step. The emperor had already agreed to establish a women's school, but it was still far from the day when women were admitted to the court as an official.

These can only be continued by the continuous efforts of the emperors of human society from generation to generation.

The emperor has not established a prince so far. Seeing that the women’s army is getting better and better, some people really have the idea of ​​Linglong’s granddaughter. Unfortunately, Xun Tao and Xun Mian are both incomprehensible. They want to realize their own value. What do you want to start a family?

In order to please the beauties and get the help of the government, the princes became more frustrated and courageous.

As for the young man's affairs, Linglong, as the old prince, can't be mixed up. She wants to see how the emperor respects him so much, his granddaughters have a future, and the fourth child still wants to be a demon.

Since the women's military office has been in full swing, even the second wife Gao and the married Xun You could not hold back. They all grew up listening to the legend of the women's army. Although they are getting older, they also want to help, so The Zhongkui of the Guogongfu returned to the hands of the eldest wife Liu again. Liu felt sorry for her daughter Xun Lan, who was still suffering in the family temple, so she begged Linglong if she could bring sister Lan back, and vowed that she would be optimistic about her.

Linglong agreed, if it weren't for Liu's mention, she...had forgotten Xun Lan.

The grandfather Xun Geng was originally a staid person, but his old mother personally went into battle. As a person who rules his family by filial piety, how can he say that his mother is not?

Even the brothers in Sanfang have become crisis-conscious thanks to the efforts of their sisters and become more diligent.

So when Xun Lan Pan Tian Pan Di finally returned to the mansion and thought that she could start over again, she found that there were few people left in the huge Guo Gong Mansion... She was pale, and she had lost a lot of weight, and asked her mother Liu: "...Mother, what's going on?"

The Liu family told her about the women's army and mentioned the current situation of Sister Tao's sister Mian'er. Xun Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this!

Don't think that she wants to shine, she just wants to be the granddaughter of the old lady to get a share of the pie too! Didn't her mother say that the princes all adore her two younger sisters? !

So Xun Lan tried to drink medicine to regulate her body, and finally waited until the old lady and Mother Zeng returned home, and then twitched to find Linglong, euphemistically showing that she was wrong in the past, and now she is going to correct her evil, and she wants to work hard. mean.

Linglong said, "You said you knew it was wrong?"

Xun Lan knelt on the ground: "The granddaughter was blinded by lard in the past. It was really wrong. Fortunately, the grandmother was generous, and it was like the first day of her awakening. Now thinking of the past, I am so ashamed to ask my grandmother to give her granddaughter one. opportunity!"

She knelt there, seemingly pious, but her eyes were still ticking. Linglong glanced at her and knew that she was definitely still making crooked ideas, so she asked, "Then what do you do?"

Xun Lan was taken aback for a moment.

Linglong said slowly: "The one who is most lacking now is the doctor girl, can you practice medicine?"

Xun Lan shook his head in a daze.

"Can you settle the bill?"

Xun Lan:...

"How is your thinking and logic ability?"

Xun Lan: What is this?

Linglong sighed: "You don't know anything, why do you want to airborne?"

Xun Lan bit her lip, only to feel that her grandmother was deliberately embarrassing herself: "What the granddaughter says is also called a talented girl... Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are common..."

Linglong said calmly: "Really, then you can play a song to me."

When the Qin was in front of her, Xun Lan made a full gesture, but found that when she put her fingers on the strings, she was extremely stiff. She froze for a while, tried to flick the strings, and the melody that slowly popped out was simply unbearable, just like a beginner!

Liu sighed slightly beside him.

Xun Lan panicked, why, how could this be?

Then she played three more chess games with Linglong, losing all of them, and the characters she wrote were not vigorous, not to mention her painting skills. She seemed to have lost everything she used to be proud and good at.

"You just want to pinch the tip to be strong, and compare with others, how can you still have the mind to practice these." Linglong said, "You are not qualified even if you are sent to the women's army to be the enlightenment master. If your mind is not correct, you can't achieve anything. , Think about what you have lost, and what do you have left."

She still remembered the granddaughter's arrogant face, thinking that she was reborn and no one could beat her and wanted to beat her!

To be able to say these two sentences is already for the soul that was swallowed by her.

Xun Lan left in despair. On the way, he met Xun Rong, who was holding a flower in search of exquisiteness. The other party had a pretty and innocent face. She was a little scared when she saw Xun Lan, but he bowed to Xun Lan's memory. Xun Rong in China is like two people!

Unlike Xun Tao and Xun Mian, Xun Rong has no plans to join the army. She thinks of her old age and she will be a good wife and a good mother. Now the marriage has been set, only to be married into her husband's family next year.

The person who married was not the prince from the previous life, but the son of a fifth-rank official.

Liu gently touched her daughter's face, "Your grandmother picked the person. Although his family is not outstanding, that brother is generous and motivated, and promised to never accept a concubine. My mother has seen it. It's a good marriage. "

Xun Lan still lost her soul. She didn’t understand. The difference between this life and her last life was so great. Her grandmother hasn’t died yet, and the government’s house has not been ransacked. Everything is different, only she is the same. of.

It's still so superficial and ridiculous.

Under this shock, Xun Lan suffered a serious illness, which was unreliable for a long time. She was half awake all day long, muttering in her mouth that it shouldn't be this way or shouldn't be this way.

No matter how smart a doctor is, he can't heal a heart disease.

At this time, the Fourth Master Xun Yang finally made a move.

He lurked for many years and was a son who kept himself safe. In fact, he never regarded the old man and the old prince as his parents in his heart. In his opinion, this decent couple is his father-killing enemy, but it is a hindrance to face. Raising him under his knees is just for outsiders.

Fortunately, his wife died early, and his son was sent out to study early, so he could do his best to help others destroy the Guogong Mansion and avenge his biological father!

In the past few years, the women's army has been getting better and better, and its reputation has become more and more loud. Xun Yang was called anxious, and there was a singe in his mouth, which has not been good for several months.
