Qingzhou trip

Chapter 13

There was a sandstorm in the afternoon, the caravan people hid and set off again, but they rushed into Manguan an hour late.A group of people surrounded the camp and lit a fire, and Li Suyue and the leader of the caravan took on the task of guarding.The reason for the vigilance is to avoid horse thieves on the business road from Shahai to Manguan.

Yun Bailu couldn't sleep until Haishi, so she found Li Suyue who was leaning on a horse to keep warm in the north of the camp, "I'll do it for you."

The female blacksmith glanced at her body, then turned around and continued to play.

"You can't just dismiss me just because you don't think I'm like my mother?" Yun Bailu saw Li Suyue shivering, and couldn't help but give her the wine bag.

Li Suyue was still hesitating holding the wine bag, but Yun Bailu smiled, "At least it can block the cold wind at night." She sat down beside the horse's legs, staring at the business road under the moon in a daze.

Seeing that she didn't babble tonight, Li Suyue sat quietly on the other side to rest.People in the camp behind were still talking sporadically. There were a few howls of wolves in the distance, and Yun Bailu let out a slight snoring sound as he drooped his head.

Looking at this black face that was almost beyond recognition, Li Suyue couldn't overlap it with the lively girl in her memory.Yun Bailu, who is learning to pull the bellows, has a playful smile, and Yun Bailu, who pulls himself into the commander's mansion to steal the North and South Soup, is warm and enthusiastic.

And she was surprised when she saw Yun Bailu for the first time, because this girl looked too much like Bai Zhi.

In the year that General Bai Zhi visited the craftsman camp, Li Suyue had just moved from Jiangnan to Saibei.Bai Zhi ordered the people around her to bring her a jacket and moccasin boots, saying that people in the south of the Yangtze River are worried about the world, how could she treat such a craftsman lightly.

And she finally met the famous female general. Unexpectedly, it was Bai Zhi's last year in and out of the military camp.After that, she only lived in the sound of clappers and street talks.

If Li Suyue is lucky enough to be Bai Zhi's daughter, she must learn from her mother the art of war and the art of stick and sword.It was a pity that she secretly wasted opportunities for Yun Bailu, but after Shahai Baosheng Army was defeated two years ago and Wu Zhaoan was killed in Northern Xinjiang, she became more and more displeased with Yun Bailu.

Clusters of low vegetation occasionally appear on the two sides of the commercial road, just like the pores of the desert in the dark night.Li Suyue stared for a while, and found that the left side of her face was hot, and it was indeed Yun Bailu who was looking at her after waking up.

She has many questions about Yun Bailu: Why was she suddenly sent back to Shahai?Why never mention rescue her father who was imprisoned in Beixia?Why doesn't she cherish the identity of Bai Zhi's daughter?Why is she always chasing after herself?

"In the last few years of my mother's life, she drank too much alcohol." Yun Bailu leaned on the horse's leg and was kicked by Li Suyue's black mount.The beast was a little restless after kicking people, and she rubbed the back of her head, "You don't like me too?"

"Five Dou!" Li Suyue called the beast, and Wu Dou, the black horse, immediately fell silent.When Yun Bailu leaned up again, he only sniffed out two pale mist from his nostrils.

Li Suyue just wanted to hear Yun Bailu talk about Baizhi.

"She is not happy. Every time I meet my father, I just quarrel. After the quarrel, I go to dance with her shotgun for a while. It's funny to say that the famous stunt of a generation of female generals has become a way for couples to vent after quarreling." Yun Bailu in the dark night It seemed to be a different person, the daytime idleness was replaced by the desolation sleeping in her body, she looked at Li Suyue, sure enough, the female blacksmith asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Because the commander-in-chief of the Baosheng Army has always been a man, if my mother hadn't married my father back then, the Baosheng Army would have been replaced by someone sent by the Privy Council in Beijing. The foundation of the Bai family for several generations has been completely wiped out." She Grandpa Bai Shuo asked many orders from Jingli: You should not avoid relatives if you are worthy, please step down as the commander of the Baosheng army and take up the position of female Baizhi.It was rejected every time.Yun Fangjiang became the balance between the frontier defenders and Beijing.

"My mother got married and gave birth to me. My father also slowly took over Baosheng Army and Yanwei and Qinzhou. He didn't like my mother's meddling in the military." is her home.

This is the first time that Li Suyue heard the unknown side of General Bai Zhi whom she longed for.Hearing this, she secretly sighed, and coincidentally raised her head to drink with Yun Bailu.When she was a child, she wanted to swing a blacksmith's hammer, but her parents refused at first, saying that this is something a girl can do?When she was 12 years old, her parents said that men can do it up to [-] or [-], and girls can do it up to [-].

There is a fallacy in the world that seems irrefutable: women can't.

After carefully pondering the truth inside, I couldn't figure it out: Why did I just make such a decision?

"Why can't your mother be the commander of the Baosheng Army?" Li Suyue's eyes raised sharp dissatisfaction.

"I want to know too. I asked my mother." Yun Bailu leaned on Wudou and touched its calf. "My mother said, 'there are too few women'." Pawns, there are too few women.

"But I don't think it's right." Yun Bailu stretched, "There are too many stupid women." Her mother Bai Zhi was one of them.

Li Suyue frowned, and suddenly patted the ground angrily.Yun Bailu loves to see her fierce and charming appearance, but she rarely sees her. When she snickers, she hears Li Suyue swearing in Jiangnan Mandarin which she doesn't understand.

Yun Bailu yawned, and quietly moved her butt closer to Li Suyue, "What else do you want to hear about my mother? I was not happy to say anything before, but now I can tell you..."

At the same time, Xie Penglai was yawning under the candle. In order for her to see clearly, this girl ordered to light four candles.One can sell for [-] Wen in Shahai.Ordinary people are generally reluctant to use it, that is, they will only order it in the magnificent buildings in the wine alley and flower alley.After Xie Penglai found out, he reached out to blow out the three extra candles, but was stopped by Miss Fang who was sitting opposite, "I copied yours."

The sound of clappers outside indicated that it was already high time, and she lost her affairs in the yamen for a day, and she was stared at by Miss Fang, her wrists were numb and her arms were sore.But she couldn't stop: Li Tinggui's ink, the high-quality rattan paper, and the brand-new Hu brush, she couldn't write so happily for a long time.

Miss Fang took a sip of the tea brought by Li Mo, and put down the copy she had just completed in her hand, "If I don't ask to stop, are you really going to copy like this?"

Xie Penglai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "But this book is really a good book." She put down the brush and rubbed her sore knuckles, "When I was young, my family couldn't afford books, so I went to the library to memorize as much as possible before going back to transcribe. "Later, when someone found out, the library owner simply asked her to copy it back generously.Xie Penglai's good handwriting was developed at that time.

Although I am tired now, I have revisited the hardships and satisfaction of studying in the early years.Xie Penglai noticed that Miss Fang shook her head slightly, "Where did you make a mistake?"

"The writing is beautiful, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's a mistake." Miss Fang put down the teacup, got up and walked in front of Xie Penglai, "Master Xie, is the book too beautiful, or the person too ugly? Why didn't you look up?" Take a look at me?"

Xie Penglai was stunned. She looked down at the page with two lines left, and then at Miss Fang's slightly angry almond eyes, "You...you are not ugly."

Zhao Yifang waved her hand, "That's all." Originally, she wanted to take her to accompany him for a day, but in the end, she was happy to write freely, and just left the person in front of her behind.

"Let me ask you, are you just hanging out with me like this?" Zhao Yifang became impatient obviously, and patted Xie Penglai's hand that was counting, "What are you counting?"

"My annual salary is 15 taels, and I have to save 200 taels a year to send back to my parents in Jibei. That's it, I don't eat or drink, and save for [-] years..." One word, poor.Xie Penglai really couldn't imagine that he was so poor, when he would be able to use such a pen, ink, paper and inkstone again.As soon as he rested, he spoke out the calculation in his heart.

Zhao Yifang stuffed the Hubi into Xie Penglai's hand, "Write, keep writing." While tugging, a drop of ink covered a part of the handwriting.Xie Penglai frowned, but saw Zhao Yifang pursed his lips in annoyance.

After a pause, Xie Penglai touched the stiff brows, put down the pen, and said softly, "It's okay. I'll have time tomorrow to copy. Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat pancakes and bones in Stone Lane soup."
