[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

Life in Wufeng Valley was peaceful and peaceful. Zhiqing returned to Luoshen Manor and lived in the previous room. Every plant and tree here remained unchanged.Because Luoshen Manor is built on the mountain, you can see lush green all year round, and the surrounding environment is beautiful, which makes people forget the customs.

Zhiqing once again lived a life of only looms, silk threads, silk, and embroidery. She is a natural embroidery girl, and these are very simple and easy things for her.It's just that the eighth grandpa loves this granddaughter very much and never lets her do embroidery work. She only embroiders what she likes.On weekdays, Zhiqing seldom goes out, but visits the weaving room, embroidery room and silk shop at home every month to help the family check the accounts.

As for taking the embroiderers and weavers to work to catch up with work, Chunsi has always been in charge, and there are enough people, so she doesn't need to contribute.Most of the time, she stays with her grandfather. Sometimes she goes to sit in the gazebo in the mountains, sometimes drinks tea and plays chess, or the grandparents and grandchildren sit together in the yard. Grandpa will occasionally point out her skills.Such a simple life is what Zhiqing wants, she thinks, she will not get bored after living like this for a lifetime.

……

Spring came and summer went, and just after the fall of the autumn leaves, there was news from the border that Rouran began to harass and plunder Wei.In the eyes of the Wei people, such things are not uncommon. Every winter, the Rouran people will always harass and provoke them several times.Even the soldiers guarding the border are used to it, apart from doing a good job of defense and dealing with Rouran's small fights, there is nothing special about it.

But in the spring of the second year, more and more Rouran cavalry gathered in the Tuihe area, and the situation in the entire Hetao area became more and more tense.Rouran's large-scale invasion shocked the whole state of Wei, and hurriedly mobilized troops to fight against Rouran.Prince Tuoba Tao led the army, and General Weiyuan Xie Qichen was the vanguard, leading an army of [-] to the border.

General Weiyuan Xie Qichen is known as "General Changsheng". He has been stationed in the south to confront Liu Song. In the past two years, he has changed his defense to the north.He is quite familiar with Rouran's tactics, and this time he goes out with the prince, he is bound to give Rouran a head-on blow.

This time the war lasted for nearly half a year. Wei Guo and Rouran went from confrontation, see-saw to stalemate on the battlefield, and both sides suffered casualties.Prince Tuoba Tao was determined to start a decisive battle with Rouran Datan Khan in the Hetao area after autumn, and end the war. He wrote a letter and returned to Pingcheng to ask for more troops. Emperor Wei immediately issued an edict to distribute to the northern towns, household conscription.

……

The lieutenant who delivered the edict arrived at Wufeng Valley, and a piece of edict completely broke the tranquility here.The county magistrate hurried out to greet him, and the leading general in silver armor held up the imperial edict, which he swiped open:

"Rouran is invading, and the frontier is in a hurry. On the third day of February in the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Wei ordered that all military households under the age of 50 in Wufeng Valley gather here on the seventh day of February. Anyone who violates the order will be executed!"

More than half of Wufeng Valley is from military households. When there was no military service, the men from military households were just like ordinary people. Now that the front line is in an emergency, they have to leave their wives and children to go to the battlefield.Because of the emperor's edict, the shadow of the frontline war enveloped the entire Wufeng Valley.

On the street with people coming and going, several foreigners passed through the gate of the county seat and brought a group of horses to Wufeng Valley.The first person came wearing a blue brocade robe and came on a white horse. His handsome features and extraordinary demeanor attracted passers-by on the street and the girls of Wei State along the road.They went all the way to the horse market, which looked like a horse dealer but didn't quite look like one.

……

The next day, when Mulan went to Luoshen Manor to look for Zhiqing, her eyes were red and she looked haggard.Zhiqing heard from Sister Chunsi yesterday that the imperial court had issued an edict for conscription, judging by Mulan's appearance, Master Hua must be on the list.She pulled Mulan to sit down and comforted her, "Don't be sad, I believe Master Hua will come back safely."

Mulan raised her eyes and looked at Zhiqing sadly, "You know? It must be Sister Chunsi who said it, Zhiqing, what do you say, my father is old and hurt his waist, how can he go to the battlefield."

"Why don't I tell Grandpa to ask the magistrate Chen for help, maybe your father won't have to go to the battlefield."

Mulan sighed and said, "My father won't let me. Do you still remember Grandma Zhang's family? Seven members of her family died on the battlefield. Zhuzi's grandfather, father, and several uncles all died. This time even He was also drawn to fight."

After hearing this, Zhiqing could only worry about it with Mulan, these are things that cannot be changed, and there is nothing they can do about it.She asked, "Have all the things of Master Hua are ready?"

"Almost." Mulan replied sullenly, but immediately frowned angrily, "I wanted to accompany my father to buy a good horse. The horse is good but just refuses to sell it to us.”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhiqing lowered her head and thought for a while, then said slowly: "You said they were horse dealers but they refused to sell them to you, so they must not have come to Wufeng Valley purely for business, or there must be some What other purpose. Now that the situation is so tense, it may not be a good thing for foreigners to come to Wei. If you really want that horse, you might as well go to County Magistrate Chen and tell them that they are acting suspiciously. When the time comes, the county government will confiscate their goods , The horses are confiscated and interrogated, it is easier for you to find the magistrate Chen to buy horses for Master Hua."

After Zhiqing finished speaking, Mulan stared at her dumbfounded, and then said in embarrassment: "Zhiqing, this method seems to be good, but isn't it a bit..."

Seeing Mulan's expression, Zhiqing chuckled, "I'm kidding you, do you really take it seriously?"

"Okay, you, I'm so annoying, you still like this, I ignore you!" Mulan pretended to be angry, Zhiqing had no choice but to pull her back while apologizing.The two sat down at the table again, and Zhiqing poured Mulan a glass of water.Mulan took the teacup, looked at Zhiqing and sighed, "You always stay at home like this, and don't come out often, do you plan to never go to the Tianxing Hall to soak your hands? In terms of skills, you can go long ago. "

When it comes to soaking hands, Zhiqing can't help shaking her head.When she just returned to Wufeng Valley, her grandfather took her to Tianxing Hall in person, and he happily introduced it to everyone, saying that she would also come here to soak her hands with Mulan and Chunsi every day.However, the seats in the Tianxing Hall are already full, and it is not justified to ask anyone's embroidered girl to give up a seat.Si Niang was blunt, and said that it would be better to let Chun silk out, but Zhiqing refused at that time, saying that she hadn't touched needlework for several years, and her skills were already unfamiliar, and she needed to practice at home to avoid embarrassing Chun silk.

She and Chun silk have been together since they were more than ten years old, so it's not worth fighting for a place to wash their hands.Therefore, for more than a year, she has been staying at home and seldom going to Tianxingtang.Moreover, she often stays at home to accompany grandpa, fearing that he will be bored.

Zhiqing smiled nonchalantly, "It's the same if you don't go to Tianxing Hall to soak your hands in Luoshen Manor, as long as I seize the opportunity and do what I should do, that's enough."

Mulan nodded, "That's right, you can't really ask Miss Chunsi or others to give up their seats, Zhiqing, you are the most transparent and can see things clearly." Suddenly her eyes lit up and she stood up immediately, "You are right, do what you should do, I have to try again!"

Zhiqing chased out the door, "What are you going to try?"

"I'll go to the horse dealer, maybe I can buy a good horse for my father!"

……

Mulan is a person who sticks to her word. She really went to find the horse dealer that day, but not only did she not buy a horse, she also fell and hurt herself. She went to see Dr. Luo in Tianxingtang, and her bones seemed to be falling apart and she had to be helped. went back.The next day, when Chunsi, Fuling and Zisu came to visit Zhiqing, they told her about the incident.

After hearing them tell the whole story, Zhiqing sighed, "It seems that the horse dealer intentionally tortured Mulan, but fortunately his conscience found out and sent Mulan to the hospital."

"It's not like that, I don't think General Mo is a bad person!" Fu Ling beside him argued immediately.

"Mo Jiang?" Zhiqing looked at Fu Ling, and saw that she lowered her head in embarrassment like a little girl.

Zisu said quickly, "That's the horse dealer, his name is Mo Jiang, he's from Gaoche."

Chunsi leaned close to Zhiqing's ear, smiled and whispered, "I see, Fuling has fallen in love with that person."

Naturally, Fu Ling heard this, and she immediately protested, "Sister Chunsi, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Chunsi raised her eyebrows and said, "You asked Zisu and Zhiqing to judge, am I talking nonsense?"

Zhiqing and Zisu looked at each other, and they both laughed. Fuling blushed and said angrily, "You guys are just as bad, I'll ignore you!" She ran out in a hurry, leaving behind a bunch of laughter.

There are many things that I can't avoid even if I want to. Although the edict of conscription broke the peace of Wufeng Valley, what should come will always come.A few days passed like this.

The moon is like a hook, and the night of Wufeng Valley is very beautiful.Zhiqing held the embroidery needle but didn't embroider a single stitch, staring at the sycamore tree outside the window in a daze.

Luoshen Manor and Huanhuayuan were not from military households, and Si Niang's husband in Jinxiu Villa had died on the battlefield, so they were not affected by the conscription edict.But Zhiqing knew that Mulan's heart must be very heavy at this time, because Master Hua will go to the battlefield tomorrow.She heard from her grandfather that although her father was not a military householder, he followed him to the battlefield more than ten years ago, but he never returned, and her mother followed her because of her grief.

Grandpa often told Zhiqing that her father didn't have the ability to weave and embroider, but luckily her mother had a pair of skillful hands and gave birth to her, otherwise the needlework and skills of Luoshen Manor would have been wasted.She has always depended on her grandfather and knows how it feels to lose a loved one.For Hua Erjin, Master Hua's silk dyeing skills are the best in Wufeng Valley. When they go to the battlefield tomorrow, the burden of the family will be on Mulan and Aunt Yun. Their life will definitely be more difficult than before.

Zhiqing has always had goodwill and gratitude for the Hua family, and now she can't help but worry about Mulan.Especially yesterday, the officials in the government issued a notice that the first emperor Tuoba Si passed away, and the crown prince Tuoba Tao succeeded to the throne.The new emperor ascended the throne, and he didn't know how the battle on the front line was going.

In the early morning, Fengqi Street was already full of people, they were all ordinary people who were going to send their relatives to the battlefield.On the road, relatives and soldiers bid farewell, and the scene was extremely sad.

But unexpectedly, the moment the soldiers of Wufeng Valley were about to set off, a team marched outside the city. The county magistrate looked at the big flag fluttering in the wind, and hurried forward, "But General Weiyuan Xie Qichen's team ?”

Xie Qichen, who was riding on the tall horse, nodded slightly, got off the horse, and took out an imperial decree: "Everyone in Wufeng Valley accepts the decree, and the emperor of Wei said..."

The arrival of Xie Qichen undoubtedly stirred up waves in the Wufeng Valley. The war between Wei Guo and Rouran ceased, and there will be a princess of Wei Guo who will marry Rouran with a picture of her marriage.Wufenggu weaving and embroidery is famous all over the world, and the tasks of weaving and drawing are handed over to Wufenggu, and military households in Wufenggu will also be exempted from military service for one year.

When Chunsi came back from the outside, she told Zhiqing that there was no need to fight, Master Hua and Zhuzi didn't need to go to the battlefield anymore, and Wufenggu was going to embroider and kiss pictures.When she heard the news, a group of soldiers and horses had already arrived at Luoshen Manor, and someone came to report that Xie Qichen wanted to see Mr. Babeican...
