There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 696|The fifty-eighth dragon scale (nine)

The fifty-eighth dragon scale (nine)

Poor Young Master Li told his father to beat him up, and he was taken to the Duke's Mansion to admit his mistake. He was spoiled by his mother, or he was afraid of being beaten. In his life, he will never appear in front of Xun Mian again!

Mrs. Li is a daughter-in-law and can't be beaten. In addition to verbally reprimanding, Mrs. Li slept in her aunt's yard for several months, making Mrs. Li tearful. Those crooked ideas are no more. I didn't dare to fight anymore. After this encounter, the two of them finally became much more obedient. Gradually, as time passed, Mr. Li's popularity faded, and the family was reconciled as before. However, whether it was Li Zhan or Mrs. Li, He didn't dare to think about the marriage anymore. Master Li said it himself that he would call the shots when the time came for his son's marriage.

As soon as the family's affairs were over, Xun Mian himself was relieved. She was so close to Xun Tao that they slept in the same bed at night. When the sisters chatted quietly at night, they also asked each other about their future visions, but whether it was Neither Xun Tao nor Xun Mian thought about getting married.

Xun Tao knew that she and her husband must see each other early. She thought so, but she didn't dare to say it. She always felt that she had been bullied by others for the first ten years of her life, and finally returned to the king. The government has regained his own identity, but he is faced with the day when he will marry his husband and teach his children. In the future, will he have to revolve around his husband's children, can't he have his own life?

But these thoughts in her mind are also vague. The only thing she loves is to listen to the heroic deeds of her grandmother, a heroine, told her by Mammy Zeng. Sword to kill the enemy.

As the year draws to a close, the palace is peaceful, and people put up Spring Festival couplets and hang up red lanterns early. Only tomorrow night after the palace banquet will be a day for families to reunite.

In the past, Linglong didn't go to the palace when she was too old, but this year she did. The emperor personally came down to hold her hand to greet her, and made no secret of his respect and love for her. The previous emperor fought for many years, and Shen Wei was serious. The emperor ascended the throne when he was still young. At that time, the government was unstable. It was thanks to the old prince and the old lady who stood on his side unswervingly, and he was able to grasp it step by step. Daquan, he will always remember this kindness.

Linglong can be said to be the most senior person in the audience. The female relatives were entertained by the empress in the apse, but she had fought with the emperor in the past, so she was left in the front hall by the emperor, together with the civil and military officials, The emperor also personally led her to the position where he started, which can be said to be very face-to-face.

So after drinking and eating, Linglong proposed to rebuild the women's army.

Before the emperor could speak, some pedantic civil servants protested: "The old lady's words are bad, it is a woman's duty to look after her husband and teach her children at home. Wouldn't it be a hindrance to the gentleman to go out and show up to fight and kill! Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, I want what kind of women's army I want, and if I say it to make people laugh, do I still want women to go to war!"

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

When he ascended the throne, both the prince and the old lady were gone, so the old lady in the emperor's memory was kind and gentle, satisfying his fantasies about his mother, but in recent years , A lot of things happened in the manor of the country, and he really saw the old lady's methods. He was able to carry a knife and go on the battlefield, how can he be content with Ronghua now?

And only he and his confidants know that the Far Lands have not been peaceful in recent years. Xu Shi had given the barbarians enough money to recover from the truce over the years. They started harassing the border, looting goods, and even killing civilians, asking the emperor to see that sooner or later there would be a battle. The barbarians grew up on horseback, and they were brave and good at fighting and could defeat a hundred with one attack, but the soldiers of this dynasty were too comfortable. When he ascended the throne, the women's army had been disbanded.

It's just that nowadays Confucian scholars have very strict requirements on women, and they are not as open as they were when the country was founded. Many people even wrap their daughters' feet. They have been raised in a boudoir for more than ten years. The only day they go out is to marry into their husband's house.

The emperor himself had daughters, and in all fairness he would be unhappy if his daughters lived like this.

"Haha." Linglong sneered at the civil servant, "You look down on women like this, why, you were born and raised by your father? Does your mother know that you say women are useless in front of the emperor? If you really have guts, don't do it. Climb out from between the woman's legs!"

She spoke savagely and meanly, making the civil servant tremble with anger, but because of her seniority, she couldn't really tear her apart.

Linglong added: "In those days when Laoshen and the late emperor were fighting the world on horseback, I didn't see the late emperor saying that women's families were incapable! The old women's army has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, even if the late emperor has many praises, it will be in your mouth. It's a joke, why, you are more capable and more powerful than the late emperor, can you see through the late emperor at a glance?!"

Relying on her seniority and seniority, she crushed the civil servant to death in one sentence. When the hat was buckled, the other party really knelt on the ground and shivered!

Linglong thinks this is a fool.

With all the civil and military officials, it's impossible to say how much everyone supports the women's army, but whether it can be achieved or not, doesn't it all depend on the emperor's intentions? It doesn't matter how many people don't agree or disagree, but everyone keeps their mouths shut and protects themselves. Only this Hanhan directly rushed out and said that it can't be done. You don't want to scold him.

"Your Majesty." Immediately after scolding, he started to pretend that the pitiful Linglong's eyes were all red, "I am old, and I don't know how many years I can serve the emperor. I just hope that I can make this day before I die. There is one more way out for the women below, and the thoughts of patriotism and love of the king are the same, why are women inferior? Please also ask the emperor to look at the face of my old man and allow the old man to rebuild the women's army!"

The emperor pondered for a long time. In fact, he agreed in the bottom of his heart. He just wanted to make a face, and the old lady did not rashly propose. As early as a few months ago, the old man wrote a letter into the palace, and the two communicated. After a long time, they exchanged ideas and suggestions with each other, and all the emperor's confidants and important officials knew about it.

Someone came out: "The old lady is loyal to the liver, righteous, and courageous, and the words come from the bottom of my heart, and the minister agrees to rebuild the women's army."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

There are more and more people who agree with it. Those who don't agree can't understand at first sight. Here's what the emperor meant! Even if he disagreed in his heart, he still had to stand with the emperor on the surface, and they all came out to express their opinions.

So this matter was settled like this. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Household to allocate enough military salaries and the old lady, and sent two of his confidants to assist with full authority. He only hoped that before the war between the two countries, Forming women's military training.

Mother Zeng burst into tears when she heard that the Women's Army would be rebuilt! She never thought in her life that she would be able to return to the army one day!

Linglong clapped her hand: "I have lived here with me all these years, and I feel wronged."

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

Ling Long nodded: "This is nature."

Mother Zeng still had a lot of worries in her heart, but she slowly calmed down after seeing the calmness of her master. It was even more difficult when they formed the women's army back then, didn't they survive it in the end? The idea of ​​protecting the family and the country is the same for women!

Xun Tao found Linglong immediately and expressed that she wanted to join the army!

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

"I'm very strong!" Xun Tao hurriedly said, "Grandmother, please, give your granddaughter this chance! As long as there is a quota of ordinary soldiers! The granddaughter will definitely work hard!"

She was looking forward to this, but Linglong didn't tease her. Xun Tao had been by her side for three years, and her knowledge and courage were all first-class, and she was no longer the pitiful little girl she used to be. The rebuilding of the women's army requires people like her who volunteered.

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

Soon the court issued a notice. At first, the common people thought what was so good about the draft notice? As a result, after a closer look, the recruits were actually female soldiers! It turned out that the female general who was with the late emperor wanted to rebuild the women's army! The news spread with a bang, and there are Linglong's old department, who can walk with strength, and have not forgotten the glory of the past, and brought their families and mouths here!

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

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

In recent years, the world has become more and more strict and contempt for women. Many people don't want girls after giving birth, and many are discarded. Linglong has taken a fancy to these young and unconcerned and immature women. Children, established charity halls in various places, raised these girls, and sent teachers to teach them. Now that there is no war in Guotai and Min'an, and many generals have nothing to do, Linglong asked them all to be martial arts masters for the children.

Xun Tao is also busy, but Xun Mian can't study well, and her body is also weak. Seeing that her sister is so busy that her feet are not touching the ground, she will not go home, and her grandmother Zeng is not at home all day long. She is anxious and wants to do something. what.

In the end, she begged Linglong to study with the imperial doctor. After all, female soldiers were inevitably injured, and it would be inconvenient to be a male military doctor. Linglong intends to cultivate female doctors, and has specially selected girls with delicate minds to study with Xun Mian.

Then, she handed over everything to Madam Zeng, and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, running all over the country, even the emperor greeted her implicitly. I was afraid that she would run out of trouble everywhere.

Oh, a bunch of idiots.

Not only did her old lady not get sick, but she became healthier and stronger, and she even became younger and younger, without a single white hair! Unlike the one sitting on the dragon chair, who was only thirty years old, his hair was much whiter.

Seeing that the women's army is becoming more and more powerful, everything is orderly, and there are also those sour Confucians who are clamoring to oppose and want women to go home and have children. Every time I hear this kind of remarks, the old lady will use her generation. The privilege of age, go straight to the door, who cares who is talking, whoever dares to say she will beat whoever, who calls her the founding elder, who calls her the oldest? !

Over time, fewer and fewer people said it.

The women's army is not dedicated to fighting wars. Linglong is very good at exploiting the advantages of human beings. Could it be said that only strong and strong people can fight, and those who are weak are not qualified to join the army?

The frail, maybe the brain is smart, maybe the memory is excellent, maybe there is a talent in some areas that others can't imagine.

In the beginning, she did not express her thoughts directly, but told the emperor that she wanted the girls taught by the old ministry to put them into practice. The emperor agreed without thinking. He has 100% trust in Linglong. He never saw the old lady running around, but leaving her sons in the capital! Although he doesn't doubt the old lady, but the attitude of the old lady is here, isn't it?

In the beginning, girls with special talents entered the basic department one after another, such as working as a clerk in the county government, working as a doctor girl in the medical center, and working as a cashier in the industry... It is really possible to cook frogs in such warm water. Many girls have made extraordinary achievements! Some have solved major cases, some have rescued the common people, and some have discovered hidden dangers in time and proposed to rectify the dike! Gradually, the common people were the first to accept this group of female soldiers.

Especially the young but extremely smart children, they look thin and harmless, and they are simply magic tools for inquiring! Because no one would doubt them at all, just like this, many corrupt officials were uprooted, and the emperor was refreshed when he came to court! Although he allocated a lot of money to the women's army from the household department, he also paid back! Not to mention what the girls who are good at business earn to him, but to say that those corrupt officials in remote areas can get a lot of money for every treasury they plunder!

There were even female soldiers who discovered crops that could be eaten as food. The emperor became more and more aware of the usefulness of women. He personally summoned these young girls who had made contributions every few months, and was deeply moved by the talents of some of them. It is no less than a man. If he is really trapped in the backyard all his life, dealing with his husband's wives, concubines and children all day long, then it would be a waste of money!

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

The atmosphere is slowly turning around. If there are female soldiers who want to start a family, Linglong will not stop her, she doesn't care if she wants to join the army, study medicine, or if she wants to marry and have children, she is only responsible for them The right to choose - life should be in your own hands.

Xun Tao Xun Mian has 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 bad intentions! The two sisters had a lot of trouble, and they also took a lot of slaps. After seeing each other after a few months, Linglong was shocked and speechless by these two black eggs.

The little granddaughter who is like a flower and a jade, because she runs around all day, it looks like something black, but her spirit is very good.

Xun Mian said loudly, "Who said that a woman must be white and thin to be beautiful! I think I am beautiful now!"

Xun Tao clenched her fist: "Yes! I am in charge of my body!"

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

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

The emperor has not yet established a prince. 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, where is it? Have the mind to think about what to start a family?

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

As an old lady, Linglong doesn't get involved in the affairs of young people, but she wants to see how the emperor respects her so much, the granddaughters have a future, and the fourth child still wants to be a monster.

Since the women's army is in full swing, even the second wife Gao and the far-married Xun You can't hold back. They all grew up listening to the legend of the women's army. Although they are old, they also want to help Helped, so the central feeder of the Guogong’s mansion returned to the first lady Liu’s hands again. Liu’s distressed daughter Xun Lan who was still suffering in the family temple, so she begged Linglong if she could bring Sister Lan back, and swore that she would be optimistic. she.

Linglong agreed. If Liu hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about Xun Lan.

The grandfather Xun Geng was originally an old-fashioned person, but his old mother went to battle in person. As a person who managed the family with filial piety, how could he say that his mother was not?

Even the brothers in the third room have a sense of crisis due to the efforts of the sisters, and they are more diligent.

So when Xun Lan finally returned to the mansion, thinking that she could start all over again, she found that there were basically not many people left in the huge imperial mansion... She was pale and lost a lot of weight. She asked her mother Liu: "...Mother, what's going on?"

Liu told her about the women's army, and casually mentioned the current situation of Sister Tao'er and Sister Mian'er, Xun Lan's eyes lit up when she heard it!

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

So Xun Lan tried her best to drink medicine to recuperate her body. After finally waiting for the old lady to return to the house with Mother Zeng, she awkwardly went to find Linglong, and euphemistically stated that she was wrong in the past. means to make an effort.

Linglong snorted: "You said you knew it was wrong?"

Xun Lan knelt on the ground: "The granddaughter used to be blinded by lard. It was really wrong. Fortunately, my grandmother was kind, and she woke up like a dream. Now I think of the past, I am so ashamed, and I beg my grandmother. Give granddaughter a chance!"

She knelt there and looked pious, but her eyes were still twitching. Linglong glanced at her and knew that she must still be thinking wrongly, so she asked: "Then what do you know?"

Xun Lan froze for a moment.

Linglong said slowly: "What is lacking most now is female doctors, can you practice medicine?"

Xun Lan shook her head in a daze.

"Is it possible to settle accounts?"

Xun Lan:...

"How about the ability to think logically?"

Xun Lan: What is this?

Linglong sighed: "You know nothing, why do you want to be airborne?"

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

Linglong said calmly: "Really, then play a song for me."

When the qin was in front of her, Xun Lan made a full gesture, but found that her fingers were extremely stiff when she placed it on the strings. She was stunned for a moment, trying to fiddle with the strings, and the tune that came out slowly was unbearable, like a beginner!

Liu sighed softly on the side.

Xun Lan panicked, how, how could this happen?

Next, she played three games of chess with Linglong, and she lost all of them. The characters she wrote had no character, not to mention her painting skills. She seemed to have lost everything she used to be proud of and good at.

"You only want to be strong and compare yourself with others, so how can you still practice these things." Linglong said calmly, "Even if you were sent to the women's army to be an enlightening master, you are not qualified. Your mind is not right. , and nothing has been accomplished, think carefully about what you have lost and what you have left."

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

Being able to say these two words is already for the sake of the soul she devoured.

Xun Lan left in despair. On the way, she met Xun Rong, who was holding a flower and came to look for Linglong. The other party's face was cute and innocent. She was a little scared when she saw Xun Lan, but she saluted in a proper manner. Xun Rong in Xun Lan's memory is like two different people!

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

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

Liu touched her daughter's face lightly, "Your grandmother picked the man. Although his family background is not outstanding, that brother is generous and motivated, and promises never to take concubines. A good marriage."

Xun Lan still lost her soul. She didn't understand how this life was so different from the previous one. Her grandmother still hasn't died, and the manor's house has not been raided. Everything has changed. Only She is the same.

It's still ridiculously shallow.

Under this shock, Xun Lan became seriously ill. She couldn't get better for a long time. She was half awake all day long, murmuring that it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this. No.

No amount of skill can cure a heart disease.

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

He has been dormant for many years and is a son who keeps his own way. In fact, he has never regarded the old prince and the old lady as his parents. In his opinion, this sanctimonious couple is his father's enemy, but He was kept under his knees because of his face, but it was just for outsiders to see.

Fortunately, his wife passed away early and his son was sent to study abroad early, so he could do his best to help others destroy the imperial palace and avenge his biological father!

In the past few years, the women's army has become better and better, and its reputation has become more and more famous.
