Wei and Jin Cooks

After leaving the city, Zhao Hanzhang said to Zhao Erlang and Beigong Tuanyuan: "Aren't you competing? Let's go now."

When Zhao Erlang heard this, he immediately turned around to get the gun and threw it to Beigong Tuanyuan, "Let's go!"

Beigong Tuanyuan saluted Zhao Hanzhang on his horse, and then he rode off to chase Zhao Erlang.

Seeing the two of them running to the front, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but smile and looked back at Zhao Cai.

Zhao Cai immediately pursued him with a group of personal guards.

The two chased them to the Luoshui River. There was an open area there. There was a simple food shop beside the road. It provided hot water for free and sold some steamed buns and noodles. It was only supported by a few sticks and was covered with thatch. A little rain.

There was a large open space to the side and rear of the food shop. Zhao Erlang was very familiar with this. He held his gun and rode his horse to the river first. He reined in his horse and turned around to face Beigong Tuanyuan, who was chasing after him.

 “Fight here!”

Beigong Tuanyuan glanced at the place and found that the place was open and bordered by Luoshui. There was also a large wasteland along Luoshui. He immediately responded: "Okay!"

She raised her gun slightly and said with piercing eyes: "My shooting skills are passed down from my father. I heard my father mentioned that you can't take ten moves in his hands."

Zhao Erlang: "That was before. Now I am stronger and my kung fu is better."

“Then let me take the exam for my father.”

Zhao Erlang was also filled with excitement. When Beigong Tuanyuan rushed towards her, he also kicked the horse in the stomach and approached her without retreating. He immediately engaged her in a confrontation. The two of them passed each other, and then cleverly controlled the horse to turn around...

Everyone who had been sitting on the food stall stood up and ran down to watch, "What a good marksmanship. This is a horse skill. If you have such skills, you should serve the country in the army. Why are you fighting here?"

 “This is not a fight, this is a discussion.”

"somebody is coming…"

Zhao Cai and others caught up with them. In order to avoid hurting the people, they stood in a row and separated the people. They did not drive them away and allowed them to watch the battle on the sidelines.

Zhao Erlang and Beigong Tuanyuan were fighting inextricably. Zhao Hanzhang and the others also arrived and stopped to watch the battle in a spacious place on the other side.

The Queen Mother and Mrs. Beigong stood together and stood on tiptoe to watch. They saw that the gun was about to hit the child several times, but they narrowly avoided it. They couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Xie Xiangrong and Xie Xiangrong were a few steps behind Xie's father and Xie's mother, but she could see clearly. Envy flashed in her eyes when she saw the cheerful and lively Bei Gong reunited on horseback.

Looking at Zhao Erlang with bright eyes across from him again, Xie Xiangrong knew in his heart that this marriage was not going to work out.

 She withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at the emperor, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Zhao Hanzhang has a keen eye for people. Almost the third time Xie Xiangrong's eyes fell on her, she turned to look at her.

They met each other's eyes. Zhao Hanzhang raised a smile and looked at her gently and tolerantly.

Xie Xiangrong's heart felt bitter and sweet at the same time. The collision made her heart sour and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

 She made up her mind immediately.

 Zhao Hanzhang only glanced at Xie Xiangrong and then continued to look at the two people by the river.

This time, Beigong Tuanyuan and Zhao Erlang were unwilling to stop easily and had to decide a winner.

After all, Zhao Erlang had more experience in fighting on the battlefield than Bei Gong Tuan Yuan. When he charged again, he drew his gun faster than her. He stabbed her right shoulder with a brush, pierced her clothes, moved the car fiercely, and returned. After grabbing and stabbing at an angle, Beigong Tuanyuan couldn't block the first move, but the second move was too slow to kill her, and the gun stopped in front of her neck.

Beigong Tuanyuan raised his chin, lowered his eyes and looked at the gun that pierced his neck and said, "You win."

Zhao Erlang then put away his gun and said proudly: "What, I'm not worse than you, right? That move just now was taught to me by General Beigong."

The Wang family who was watching the battle couldn't help but hold on to Mrs. Beigong's hand when Zhao Erlang stabbed Beigong Tuanyuan. At this time, she saw Beigong Tuanyuan's clothes stained with blood. She couldn't help but exclaimed and helped Qinggu. And Mrs. Beigong's hands rushed down.

He rushed to Zhao Erlang's horse and said angrily: "You brat, get down!"

Zhao Erlang looked puzzled, dismounted and said, "What's wrong with my mother?"

Mrs. Wang pinched his ears, turned around half a circle and said angrily: "You actually hit someone, the sword and the gun have no eyes, don't you understand, you just stabbed the Beigong girl." .”

Zhao Erlang complained: "I have already hit the target. The first shot should have been on the right side of the neck, and the second shot should have been on the right side of the neck, but I missed both shots."

Beigong Tuanyuan also explained for him, "Back to the Queen Mother, Prince Qin has shown courtesy. If I had been on the battlefield, I would have already lost."

 Zhao Erlang nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that he was so clueless, Mrs. Wang pressed harder with her hands, and couldn't help but howl in her heart. Fortunately, Sanniang became the emperor, otherwise how could he have said marriage like this? Who would want to marry such a stick?

Zhao Hanzhang also thought that he was a stick, so he did not join in the beating, nor did he try to persuade him. Instead, he looked at the three members of the Xie family who were embarrassed at the side.

 Lai Qing was alert and immediately stepped forward to bring the three people to Zhao Hanzhang.

 In fact, when he saw that Prince Qin and Beigong Tuan Yuan were evenly matched, Father Xie had no illusions.

Xie's mother also felt a chill after the Queen Mother was so concerned about Beigong's reunion. Their family had no power and could only rely on Xie Shi. What could Xie Xiangrong use to fight against Beigong's reunion?

Zhao Hanzhang and Xie's father exchanged greetings for a while, and then he said straight to the point: "I heard from Xie that Xie Xiangrong has a good literary talent. Now the court is recruiting people, so I would like to invite Miss Xie to join the court as an official."

Before Xie Xiangrong could speak, Xie's father refused on her behalf, thinking that Xie Shi was exaggerating and that her talent and virtue were not enough to serve as an official.

Xie’s mother nodded repeatedly and interjected: “Her father has been studying for many years and can do a lot more than she does.”

  Zhao Hanzhang: "I want to hear what Miss Xie means."

In the past, Xie Xiangrong would definitely choose a gentler approach and not be so disrespectful to her parents in front of others, but Beigong's unrestrained and unrestrained expression made the fire in her heart seem to spurt out, no longer suppressed by herself.

 She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, then bowed her hands respectfully, "I am willing to serve your Majesty."

Zhao Hanzhang felt happy in his heart and said with a smile in his eyes: "Go to Taixue tomorrow to report."

Xie's father and Xie's mother were shocked and wanted to refuse. Zhao Hanzhang glanced at them, and they felt a chill all over their bodies. It seemed as if there was a big mountain on their shoulders and they couldn't move. Naturally, they didn't dare to refuse anymore.

Xie Xiangrong lowered her eyes. She knew that she had to solve this problem by herself, and she could solve it, but it would only damage her reputation, but compared with freedom, the reputation lost was really nothing.

In the past, it was because Xie Fu Xie Mu once spread her unfilial remarks, her future would be ruined, but now that the emperor has given her a way out, she is no longer so afraid and worried.

Zhao Hanzhang then went down to see the Beigong reunion.

As soon as the emperor left, Xie's father and mother took Xie Xiangrong aside and scolded him: "His Majesty wants to resign you, why don't you refuse? You are a woman, and your first priority is chastity and tranquility..." Xie Xiangrong has not objected yet, standing on his side The passers-by who were watching were unhappy and interrupted: "What my sister-in-law said is wrong. Doesn't being an official mean that you are not chaste? Then your Majesty is still the emperor."

Xie's mother said: "How can she argue with His Majesty? Your Majesty is a god-like person. She is just a girl. She has only read a few books. She is not as good as **** of her father. Even if she wants to be an official, It should be her father who goes..."

"I don't like hearing this anymore. Nothing in this world can be hidden from Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty doesn't use her father, it means that her father's ability as an official is not as good as hers."

 “That’s right, that’s right.”

The people present were all Zhao Hanzhang’s brainless boasters and did not think Zhao Hanzhang’s decision was wrong.

This is a later-built official road, mainly leading to the water mill on the Luoshui River.

Most people in Luoyang and surrounding areas choose to come here to pound rice and grind flour, because it not only saves labor but is also cheap.

For those who are close, families come with burdens or carts. For those who are far away, an entire village or several families will borrow ox carts and then carry their food to the ox carts. On the car, mark it and send two people out to grind and pound it.

 Let’s use two other people next time, taking turns this way, which saves effort and time.

 So all the people on this road are going back and forth from the water mill.

 They are also the people who have seen Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan the most.

Everyone knows that there is a heavily guarded workshop not far from the water mill. The emperor's husband Fu Langjun is inside, and the emperor always comes here to visit.

They didn't know Zhao Erlang and Beigong Tuanyuan, but they recognized Zhao Hanzhang when he arrived just now, so they stayed aside excitedly, but couldn't help but **** up their ears to listen to her.

 They were not only excited but also envious when they heard that Xie Xiangrong had been conferred an official position by the emperor himself.

 In the end, the couple actually wanted to refuse!

Amid envy, jealousy and hatred, a woman carrying a burden squeezed over and said sourly: "Sister-in-law is so lucky. Do you have a few children at home, so you don't care about this girl? If so, why not give it to me? Well, if I had such a daughter who was so proud of my ancestors, I would be able to laugh out of my dreams."

The people around laughed and joked: "Are you really dreaming that such a good daughter can be allowed to go out? This is an official given by His Majesty himself. It will definitely have a bright future in the future. Who would refuse? I think they just said that .”

Xie Xiangrong also looked at Xie’s father and Xie’s mother and asked, “Is that what father and mother said?”

Xie's father worriedly said, "We still have to go back to Yangxia. How can you be an official in Luoyang?"

Xie's mother remembered it and responded quickly: "Yes, your parents don't want to leave you. What's more, you are not young anymore. It's time to get married and start a family."

 The people around now understood clearly that this couple really did not just say it casually, but actually planned to refuse their child's employment in the officialdom.

They were shocked and advised one after another: "Brother, please advise my wife, what kind of era is this? Starting a family is important, but establishing a career is also important. Why not let your daughter enter the court as an official first, and then get engaged and get married. Many female officials in the court also Single."

"Not only female officials are single, but male officials are also single. Isn't this just right? Why rush to get engaged and married at this time?"

“Yes, Your Majesty is also married, and he also manages a huge country. Your daughter’s marriage will not affect her career.”

"Brother, the world is peaceful, why are you still restricting girls from going out? You need to be more open-minded and take a long-term view. Daughters are also sons. You can't delay your children because of petty prejudices between men and women."

 Everyone gave advice one after another.

Xie’s father and Xie’s mother couldn’t get a word in, let alone say anything in defense, and their faces turned red.

They didn’t expect that Luoyang was crazier than Yangxia. Everyone was in favor of women becoming officials?

Wouldn’t this bring shame on the family?

In the end, Father Xie stamped his feet and said: "She only earns a few strings of salary as an official. The family does not lack this kind of money. We can afford to raise our children and don't want her to suffer like this."

Xie Xiangrong immediately said: "Father, becoming an official is not a hardship, nor is it just for the few strings of salary, but for the people, the country, and your own life ambitions."

“When Her Majesty opened the school, she said that she would allow all children from all over the world, regardless of gender, to learn to read, count, and learn how to be a good person, so that they can live a good life in the future. People from the Qi family work hard to help the people and govern the country. This is the basis for studying in school." Xie Xiangrong said: "My daughter is lucky enough to be born to her parents. She can have enough food and clothing, and has learned so many skills. I think I am halfway through self-cultivation. The next step is to Qi family. Home and people."

She bowed Yingying and said: "Father, mother, please let your daughter honor you too and make money by her own ability instead of taking money from her parents."

 Passers by the side were filled with envy when they heard this, and they all praised: "Brother, you have a good daughter."

Even the woman who had been carrying the burden was no longer upset. She pulled Xie's mother and said, "Sister-in-law, you can raise such a good daughter, so you are a good girl. I must have misunderstood you just now."

Xie's father and Xie's mother were so praised that they actually felt that there was nothing wrong with their daughter becoming an official.

Beigong Tuanyuan had already **** her shoulders. She was just scratched by the gun and her skin was pierced. The blood flow has stopped now.

 As soon as you apply the medicine, pay more attention, and there won’t even be any scars.

They raised their guns and saw the situation in that corner. When Beigong Tuanyuan heard Xie Xiangrong's words, he couldn't help but tell Zhao Erlang, "I like this girl."

Zhao Erlang said proudly: "This is my senior sister."

Beigong Tuanyuan’s eyes were bright, “I also liked hearing what she said. This is the first time I heard it.”

Zhao Erlang became even more proud, "That's what my sister said."

Seeing that they were getting along well, Mrs. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Mrs. Beigong and said, "It was really good and bad. I was scared to death just now."

Mrs. Beigong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. It's common for her to get injured during competitions. When she was reunited at home, she was often tested by her father, and she was often injured. Prince Qin's shot at her was considered a light one."

 So Mrs. Beigong really doesn’t take it seriously.

In the early years, she took her daughter to herd. In order to let her learn how to drive away wolves and how to escape when encountering wolves, she also took her to practice on horses. At that time, falling off the horse was common.

She is not afraid that Beigong will be injured during the reunion. She is only afraid that she will be uncomfortable and unhappy after getting married.

Children on the grassland are used to being free and carefree, and are afraid of being trapped in a single world. But now is the best era. Women can be officials. She has the ability and ambition to reunite. Why is she trapped in a trap just because she gets married? What about the back house?

It would be great if the King of Qin could accept a woman serving in the army after getting married.

Mrs. Beigong is also very satisfied with this marriage.

 Two chapters combined into one, see you tomorrow
