On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red
Chapter 23 This word is written in blood and ink
The melodious sound of the flute came, and everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the hall. Xu Shihuan was dressed as a scholar, with a tight belt that made his waist slimmer.
The feet wrapped in white cloth are currently soaked in ink. She jumped up and landed firmly on the white silk spread.
"hiss……"
The severe pain from her feet made her body tremble uncontrollably. She escaped the plot in the side hall, but she didn't expect that anyone would dare to attack her in the main hall.
On top of the white silk, someone scattered some broken porcelain pieces. She steadied herself, her silver teeth almost biting the cheeks on both sides.
For this dance, she put in unimaginable hard work. How could she give up at the critical moment?
As the melody of the school song sounded, the book in his hand also danced. After ten years of studying hard in a cold window, I only got a title on the gold list.
Follow her dance steps, rise and fall, and get up again after falling. Studying is hard, studying is difficult, and it is even more difficult to gain fame.
The fine pieces of porcelain have already scratched the cloth on the feet. Blood mixed with ink made the soles of the feet a mess. But she seemed to feel no pain, and her movements were not affected at all.
As the rhythm became cheerful and the dance steps became light and stretched, everyone felt happy. Years of hard work finally gave me the opportunity to fulfill my ambitions.
However, the sound of drums suddenly started, and the clear sound of flute ceased.
A piece of red cloth covered everyone's sight. Goodbye, the former scholar had put on a military uniform.
Although the scholar is weak in writing and joining the army, his eyes are full of determination. Her cheeks were no longer white, and the hand that used to only hold a pen was now holding on to a broken sword.
The sound of the pipa was heard, and everyone's hearts were in suspense. He fought hard to defend his family and country, and survived a narrow escape. All his former brothers are gone, and he has become a dead man when he returns home.
The second prince stared intently at Xu Shihuan's feet. This daughter-in-law of the Xu family was really a ruthless character. If he hadn't known in advance that the white silk was sprinkled with broken porcelain pieces, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual just by looking at her dance.
However, the blood on the feet cannot deceive anyone. When this dance is over, everyone will be staring at the words on the white silk. He had already arranged for people to publicize the fact that there was blood on the white silk.
Seeing blood at the golden autumn banquet is an ominous sign. No matter how good she is at dancing, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family will never get the Queen Mother's promise.
The melodious sound of the piano came, and the soldier who returned from the battlefield was scarred. She staggered and relied on crutches to barely walk. By accident, she stumbled and paused for a moment before standing up again.
The pain becomes numb after a long time. Jumping to the present, Xu Shihuan felt that neither of his feet belonged to him. The only thing she could hold on to until now was her breath. She has persisted for so long and must not let go at a critical moment.
The sounds of children's play and the sounds of hawkers on the street came and went incessantly. A happy smile finally appeared on her face.
Everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by this dance, and did not even notice Xu Shihuan quietly retreating. She didn't care too much and hurriedly dug out the porcelain pieces that were deeply embedded in her flesh with her hands, forcing herself to ignore the bloody soles of her feet.
Looking up again, the large piece of white silk at my feet had been held up high, with the word "国" written on it.
In the first half, the ink on the soles of the feet was still thick, and no blood was visible. But later on, the ink became lighter and more bloody, and the last stroke of the Chinese character became shockingly red.
Perhaps he was too surprised that the people who had been arranged by the second prince actually forgot to speak, and the whole hall was so quiet that it made people panic.
"it is good!"
The emperor's shout immediately drew everyone's attention. Unlike other dances that are pleasing to the eye, Xu Shihuan's dance can be said to be shocking.
The second prince wanted to use the blood stains to accuse Xu Shihuan of being disrespectful, but when he saw the words on the painting, he couldn't say anything.
He didn't expect that Xu Shihuan could endure the pain and persevere. He was even more surprised that the Chinese characters written in blood and ink could shock people so much.
The people of Wanhua Kingdom are able to live a stable life today, not only by the pens in the hands of scholars, but also by the blood of countless border soldiers.
Queen Mother Shen seemed to have a deeper feeling about this dance. Her eyes were slightly red, and her cheeks were trembling slightly. After taking deep breaths many times, I regained my usual composure:
"This dance really puts my heart into it."
Shen, the daughter of a Qingzhou magistrate, was able to sit in the position of Queen Mother, so she was naturally not a vegetarian. Seeing the blood stains on this word, you knew that someone was behind it.
Xu Shihuan's face was pale and he looked like he was about to faint at any moment, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Girl of the Xu family, what reward do you want?"
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, everyone was shocked. From what I heard, she wanted the Xu family's legitimate daughter to choose the reward herself. What an honor it was.
Xu Shihuan also didn't expect that the Queen Mother would ask her directly. She immediately knelt down and said without any hesitation:
"Back to the Queen Mother, I want to enter a girls' school!"
Xu Shihuan's words were like thunder on the ground, shocking everyone in the hall.
Wanhua Women's School was founded by the current Queen Mother Shen. If a female scholar enters the academy and takes a separate examination in the academy, she will be granted the status of a fellow scholar and examiner, and will participate in the joint examination with men.
At the beginning of the establishment of women's education, many women were admitted as tribute scholars and held important positions in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Industry, serving the country.
It's a pity that these women got married and had children within a few years, and wasted their time in the back house. Over time, women’s education existed in name only. Calculating carefully, no new girls have enrolled in the school for nearly ten years.
Now that Xu Shihuan is mentioning this again, doesn't it mean that she will follow the example of Queen Mother Shen and serve the country as a woman?
The Queen Mother did not speak in a hurry. She slowly looked around, taking in the expressions of everyone in Her Highness. She originally thought that whether it was Duan Qinglian or Xu Shihuan, what they wanted today was just something as trivial as freedom of marriage.
But she didn't expect that what Xu Shihuan wanted was to enter a girls' school! Looking at her look like this, she didn't mean to simply want to enter a girls' school. She clearly wanted to compete with all the men in the country.
In the dance just now, she danced beautifully, but she was not flattering at all. Whether he was a scholar at the beginning or a soldier later, every move struck a chord in everyone's heart.
Xu Shihuan is reminding everyone not to forget how Wanhua Kingdom was defeated. It took the pens of scholars all over the world and the blood of border officers and soldiers to write this national character.
A man with this kind of temperament will definitely achieve great things.
It's a pity that she is a woman.
"Today's dance made the Ai family seem to have seen the young General Guan and Prime Minister Xu. Since you have such ambitions, you can go to a women's school from tomorrow on."
Hearing this, Xu Shihuan was overjoyed:
"My daughter will definitely live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother!"
