There is a girl in the village

"Big sister, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiaofu asked in confusion when she saw Miss Zhu was crying with her arms around Mrs. Zhu.

"Hey, I just blame Runniang's bad luck." Aunt Zhu looked at Zhu Runniang and said helplessly.

Gu Xiaofu saw that Zhu Runniang, who had always been stable and dignified, was crying into tears, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only accompany her quietly and let Zhu Runniang vent.

Zhu Runniang didn't know how long she had been crying before she stopped crying, turned her head and took Gu Xiaofu's hand, and said sadly: "Fu Niang, although you had a hard life when you were young, but now you are happy, and soon after you got married, you became pregnant. You must take good care of the child, otherwise the eldest sister's today will be your tomorrow."

"Big sister..." Gu Xiaofu didn't know how to react when she heard the words. She didn't know who the child in her stomach was, and she didn't know whether Lu Yuanchang would admit it or not when she came back. It belonged to Lu Yuanchang.

"Fu Niang, your brother-in-law is going to take a concubine. From now on, I will be just a decoration in the Yu family." Zhu Runniang said this, and tears fell down again.

Zhu Runniang's husband is the eldest son and grandson of the Yu family, and Yu Dalang was a young man who became a scholar at fifteen. , with his talent and learning, it is not difficult to win the exam.

This branch of the long house can be regarded as beautiful. After Yu Dalang was a scholar, the Yu family appointed Zhu Runniang, who was well-matched for Yu Dalang. Hachimura's best marriage.

Yu Dalang looks gentle and handsome, and Zhu Runniang is dignified and dignified. Ever since they met on their wedding night, they fell in love with each other at first sight.But fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and Zhu Runniang has not been pregnant for a long time, which makes Deyu's family very dissatisfied with her.

Aunt Yu also gave up on her after wishing Runniang a long time but failed, and began to take concubines for Dalang Yu.At first, Yu Dalang was thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, and he gritted his teeth and did not let go. But as time went on, Yu Dalang, who had no children under his knees, gradually changed. He watched his brothers marry wives and have children one by one. After one mouthful of one parent, he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. Yu Dalang must be sincere to Zhu Runniang, but the sincerity is only a son who will carry on the family line, so under the peace of Aunt Yu, the Yu family set up a concubine for Yu Dalang.

Originally, Zhu Runniang thought that she would not be able to bear children, so she couldn't be wronged. Yu Dalang cut off the incense, so she swallowed her anger and agreed, but the Yu family was too impatient. When he arrived in Fencheng, he took a concubine and consummated the house.

The concubine got the letter of approval, and saw that Yu Dalang was both talented and beautiful, but he tried to seduce him, but Yu Dalang actually accepted it with a smile. From his understanding, the concubine was already his own, so why pretend to be serious.During this journey, Zhu Runniang had had enough of the concubine's flirtatiousness and Yu Dalang's fickleness. After Yu Dalang defended the concubine's room that had not entered the door many times, the couple quarreled violently.

As a result of the quarrel, Zhu Runniang entered Fencheng and went straight back to her mother's house.

"Fu Niang, your brother-in-law is just a scholar, so he has a heart to embrace left and right. In fact, men in this world are all the same. They are just deceiving us stupid women. That's all. Ah Yuan will have great achievements in the future, and his rise to the top is just around the corner. You have to take good care of her, and you have to take good care of your children. Your appearance is easy to grow old, and children are our lifeblood. Don't be like a big sister. Your husband is unreliable. Even There are no heirs for retirement." Zhu Runniang said, wiping away tears.

"Sister, don't think too much, the relationship between you and your brother-in-law for many years is no match for a new concubine." Gu Xiaofu comforted her weakly.

Zhu Runniang's words are actually very reasonable. Men in the world are generally black, and most of them are ruthless and ungrateful, but Lu Yuanchang is a woman, so it won't be like this.

Gu Xiaofu began to think deeply because of Zhu Runniang's words. She never thought that Lu Yuanchang would have other women.

But this world is a dirty world. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Princesses and princesses are also generous. The upper class looks noble and dignified, but the masculinity and feminine demeanor do not start from them. of.If Lu Yuanchang got promoted and was contaminated with aristocratic debauchery, he might really be able to take concubines and marry young girls.It's not that Gu Xiaofu has no confidence in Lu Yuanchang, but that people will change. At least, Lu Yuanchang who came to Fencheng is no longer the innocent girl in Luoxi Village. , it is the clearest.

"Runniang, what are you talking about with Funiang? I think A Yuan is fine. You live well at home now. Your father and elder brother will take care of you in the Yu family's affairs. The Yu family is too bullying. We wish you well." The family is not soft, we can't bear this grievance in vain!" When Aunt Zhu talked about the Yu family, her whole body became a little bit fierce, the love of protecting the calf is like being a mother.

Gu Xiaofu and Zhu Runniang both lived in Zhu's house, and the two had congenial temperaments. Now that Gu Xiaofu's husband is going on an expedition, and Zhu Runniang's husband is taking a concubine, the two hit it off and accompany each other to drive away loneliness.

During the day, we do needlework together, read and write together, the spring breeze blows, the willow leaves flutter in all directions, the waves are shimmering, and the sun shines warmly.Gu Xiaofu and Zhu Runniang are very comfortable entertaining themselves in such a bright spring and color. Sometimes when they are in the mood, they will go to banquets, flower viewing parties, poetry discussion parties, tea ceremony parties, and even noble and talented women. The policy discussion meeting held, invited a group of ladies to talk about current affairs.

The aristocratic women of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a certain degree of political participation and ambition to participate in the government. Throughout the dynasties, many powerful princesses emerged. These people are idols in the hearts of noble women.

Gu Xiaofu is not good at admiring flowers and discussing poetry, but she has some experience in tea ceremony and current affairs. Often a certain sentence of hers will make all the women think deeply. Slowly, Gu Xiaofu also made friends with a few noble women, and she The reputation of being good at planning and history gradually spread.

Fencheng sings and dances to promote peace, and the worries around the border linger.

Lu Yuanchang guarded Wang Chao, standing on the city wall and looking at the Rongdi soldiers who kept climbing the city below, frowning slightly.She has been in Fen City for one month. During this month, Rongdi came to attack the city almost every day. The corpses of Rongdi soldiers outside the city were piled up all over the ground. No matter Dazhou or Rongdi, they were not interested in cleaning the battlefield. , to bury the body.

From being unacceptable to watching with cold eyes, Lu Yuanchang adapted very quickly, but the doubts in her heart continued to deepen.For all of this, General Song also seemed to have a dark feeling that something was wrong, as he had never left the city to fight back, and it could be seen that he only stuck to the defense.

"General, Rong Di is already tired. I beg the general to join me with five thousand soldiers, and I will definitely present Hua Erhaji's head!" Wang Chao said eagerly.

"Not urgent!"

A majestic and steady voice sounded, and this voice came from the God of War in Lu Yuanchang's heart - Great Zhou Kingdom Shang Guozhu, Great General Sima, Duke Zhen, Generalissimo of Zhenbei Army, Song Dingtian!

Lu Yuanchang is Wang Chao's pro-army and confidant. She was appointed by Wang Chao to follow her closely. This is Wang Chao's intention to train her so that she can listen more, watch more and learn more, and grow up quickly.

During this month, Lu Yuanchang followed Wang Chao all the time, talked less and watched more, and never opened his mouth until Wang Chao asked him.For Song Dingtian, from her expectations a month ago to her calmness now, yes, Lu Yuanchang felt calm in the face of such a commander. Safety.

This man is domineering. He once repelled Rong Di so that they could not make a comeback for more than ten years. This man is brave. His smooth spear skills on the school field are amazing. This man is wise. Even if the situation is so unfavorable at this time, He can also plan strategies to protect the surrounding area. This man, like a god, is blowing in the cold wind. His vicissitudes of face and short white beard are telling his aging.

"General!" Seeing that his request for a fight was rejected again, Wang Chao couldn't help becoming anxious. How could he let go of such a good situation.

"This is a military order!" Song Dingtian gave Wang Chao a cold look, warning him not to act rashly.

Wang Chao couldn't help but threw his hands to vent. He felt that his uncle was getting old and had no aggressiveness. He only knew how to defend blindly. He never thought that the best defense is to attack.

As dusk fell, both sides went on strike.The wounded soldiers were carried down for treatment, and the soldiers who could still support them cleaned the city walls and moved the defense equipment. Everyone's faces were full of indifference, as they were used to seeing life and death.After the battle today, come back tomorrow, if you live an extra day, you will earn a day.

Song Dingtian rode his horse back to the General's Mansion, and all the generals returned to the camp to appease the wounded soldiers and boost morale.Wang Chao thought for a while, and followed Song Dingtian with a few relatives. He wanted to have a good talk with Song Dingtian.

"Uncle, why don't you come out of the closed city? You asked me to come to see a play!" Wang Chao said dissatisfiedly after entering the hall.

"You all go down." Song Dingtian calmly waved everyone in the hall back, leaving only Wang Chao alone.

"Uncle, you're just talking, like this, it's not like your usual style at all." Wang Chao threw his helmet on the table and said angrily.

No wonder Wang Chao was angry, he came to Linbian full of enthusiasm, and was planning to do a big fight to turn the tide. Who would have thought that Song Dingtian would not let him go out of the city to fight for a whole month. He was arrogant and arrogant, how could he swallow this breath.

"I don't know how many times I've told you that when facing an enemy, in addition to having the will to win, you also need to be calm. You are so reckless, but have you ever thought that the enemy has left a trap waiting for you?" Song Dingtian hated iron for being weak, It has been many years, and Wang Chao's irritable temper can't be changed. How can he rest assured that the Zhenbei Army will be handed over to him.

Song Dingtian has three sons. The eldest and Wang Chao followed him to practice in the army. Unfortunately, his qualifications are not good. It's ten, how long can it last, I only hope that Wang Chao can mature, but unfortunately Wang Chao's reckless temper can't be changed.

"Uncle, what you said is reasonable, but there is a chance today, why don't you let me fight!" Wang Chao's temper was too stubborn, and he was on the edge of his horn, unable to get out for a while.

"Tell me after you read this." Song Dingtian handed a secret letter to Wang Chao, and said helplessly.

Wang Chao spread the letter suspiciously and looked at it. After looking at it, he realized his rashness. With cold sweat on his forehead, he forced himself to ask calmly: "It is said in the letter that Rongdi dispatched 30 troops this time. Looking at it from our side, only 25 are making trouble in the northern border, 15 have been dragged by the border, and [-] have been reported everywhere in the northern border, so where are the remaining [-] troops?"

"You finally know the seriousness of the matter. You lost hundreds of scouts before finding out this shocking news. Fifty thousand Rongdi elite cavalry is enough to become Rongdi's biggest killing move. Don't forget, Hua Erhaji I have a map of our military defense in my hand, although I mobilized troops in time, I don’t know how long I can last.” Song Dingtian said wearily, he is an elderly person, since last winter, he has not Get a good night's sleep.

"If I go out of the city to fight, the [-] soldiers hiding in the dark will be able to outflank me if they are on the edge. Then they will enter the city in chaos, and the edge will fall. Fengguan has already fallen into the hands of Rong Di!" Wang Chao said fearfully that he is not afraid of death, but he has been in the army for many years and has a strong sense of mission to defend his family and country.

There are only 15 soldiers and horses on the border, and it is not easy to hold back the [-] army of Rongdi. If it were not for the high walls of the border city, how could it withstand such a dense attack by Rongdi.After this month, the casualties on the border were about [-], but Rong Di lost more than [-].When winter ends and spring begins, if Rong Di is unprepared at this time, food and grass will not be able to be supplied for a long time. When the food runs out, even if there is no fight in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Rong Di himself will retreat.

"It's good to understand. If we don't find out how many soldiers there are in Rongdi here, we can only take precautions like this. Unfortunately, the elite scouts have lost all their casualties, and we can't find anyone who can do it for a while." Song Dingtian said regretfully. In the past two months, the scouts he carefully cultivated were basically left on the land of Rong Di, and the whereabouts of the corpses were not even known. This important information in his hand was sent by a scout risking his life, but it was sent Afterwards, he died of exasperation.

Song Dingtian is not a conservative person. He intends to keep all the soldiers from Rong Di on the sidelines, so that they will never come back, but the current situation does not allow him to be arbitrary.

Wang Chao held the secret letter tightly and thought about it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said to Song Dingtian: "Uncle, there is a person in my army who is good at light work and good at strategy. Why don't you let her go to the camp and touch it carefully?" Touch Hua Erhaji's bottom."

"Who is it that can make you look differently?" Song Dingtian asked suspiciously.

Because of the loss of too many scouts, Song Dingtian also had some lingering fears. The hardships and dangers of this trip are unimaginable for ordinary people. If they are discovered, there are only three endings. They can either kill themselves on the spot, or surrender Rong Di and betray Da Zhou. Either be captured, tortured to force the information to be killed, anyway, there is basically no return.

Wang Chao looked at General Song and said confidently, "Lu Yuanchang!"
