After Aunt Li left, Xiao Jing also took a carriage to the National Courtyard, because there were few people who came to the National Courtyard in the rain, Xiao Jing's carriage went directly to the gate, which really made her walk a lot less, and helped Pei'er's men to get out of the carriage and just stood firmly, she saw Shangguan Lanxue standing at the gate in thin clothes waiting for her, Xiao Jing's heart was warm, and she hurriedly walked to hold her hand, looking at Shangguan Lanxue's thin clothes and some purple lips, "How cold are your hands, why don't you wear more when it's raining, what are you doing standing at the door stupidly?" ”

Although the tone was full of blame, he still rubbed it to warm her, and Shangguan Lanxue also felt warm in his heart, "Don't blame you all?" If you don't come for a long time, and you didn't send Xiao Si to the national courtyard to say a word, I'm afraid that the road will be slippery in the rain, if you don't come again, I will go to the Zhenguo Mansion in person to see if you are okay. ”

"It's okay, it's just that the road is slippery in the rain, so I told the coachman to go slower, and it delayed for some hours, which worries you." Xiao Jing smiled slightly and patted Shangguan Lanxue's hand to show comfort.

"That's fine, let's go in. It's cold outside the door. After speaking, he took Xiao Jing's hand and entered the national courtyard.

Because of the rain and slippery roads and the weather is a little cold, there are not many students who come to the Academy, and the men who are stronger in martial arts are not afraid, most of them come, but there are only three women who come to the Academy of Ladies and Nobles, in addition to Xiao Jing and Shangguan Lanxue, there are also Chu Xinran, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Chu Xinran is not as weak as everyone's ladies, and her girls are bold and outspoken, but there is some taste of martial arts heroines.

When she saw that there were only Xiao Jing and Shangguan Lanxue in the whole classroom, she walked over, "Miss Shangguan, Miss Xiao, you are here too?" ”

Shangguan Lanxue and Xiao Jing also smiled politely, "It's raining heavily, I didn't expect Miss Chu to come too." ”

"I'm stumped by just a few drops of rain, but I'm not so delicate." After speaking, he sat down in the front row generously.

Because there are fewer people who come to the class, the master did not start the class, and took everyone to visit the National Academy, although the young masters and daughters often go to the National Academy to study, the opportunity to visit the National Academy is very rare, the National Academy covers a wide area, and it takes about an hour to walk on foot.

"I think everyone knows that there is a martial arts training ground in front of you, and a total of six martial champions have been cultivated here, including Mr. Liu, who is now teaching you. As long as you are willing to work hard, you may be the next martial champion. The Master looked at the men behind him with his beard floating.

The men nodded yes.

"What about me?" A voice from a girl sounded, and the men looked back at Chu Xinran, who had a confident face, and the mockery on their faces was full of ridicule.

"After Miss Chu is the general, it is normal for her to be able to defend herself with fists and feet, how can she not be delusional to become a martial champion?" Zhou Jinyu, the son of the Ministry of Rites, asked mockingly. A yellow-haired girl is ashamed to want to become a martial champion, where are their dignified seven-foot men?

"Jinyu's words are wrong, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts. Fifty years ago, there was a general's mansion among the nobles of the Western Xia, the head of the household was surnamed Bai, he was a famous general in the Western Xia, the general had a daughter who was fifteen years old, and his women did not like women's clothes, but loved to wear men's clothes to fight with his father everywhere, General Bai only had such a baby daughter under his knees, naturally everything followed her, and the two sides of the Dongming Tiger General Chen were seriously injured and could not fight again, and his daughter refused to surrender easily and continued to confront the 100,000 troops of the Dongming Kingdom with the only remaining 20,000 Bai troops, In the end, she won the war with her wisdom and defended the current Baili City, and later General Bai was afraid that the matter would spread, and his daughter could not find a good mother-in-law's family, so he suppressed the matter, so no one knew about this woman... The old man wants to say that there is no absolute thing in this world, and if he talks and does things, he will leave a way back for others, and he will naturally leave a way back for himself. Xiao Jing listened carefully to the master's words, every expression, in ancient times, there were few people who could have this realm, presumably he was also a person with great wisdom.

"Miss Bai is so talented, but it's a pity that she voted for the wrong daughter." Xiao Jing sighed from the bottom of her heart, in this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, what if there are leading talents, don't they all have to marry each other and teach children? No matter how talented you are, don't you have to be a husband? The era when there was not even freedom of thought and freedom of speech stifled how many talented people.

"What about my daughter's body, it's a big deal not to marry for the rest of her life." Chu Xinran has always been bold, but he didn't expect to be so out of line today. At this time, she put her hands on her waist, extremely resentful.

"I don't know where Miss Bai went in the end, why did General Bai's Mansion disappear out of thin air?" Shangguan Lanxue was also very curious, and had never heard anything about General Bai's Mansion from the elders in the family.

"Later, Dongming came to Xixia to negotiate peaceful coexistence between the two countries, and the request was to marry Miss Bai into the Dongming royal family as a relative, and the emperor agreed, and General Bai died two years after Miss Bai married into Dongming." At this time, General Bai had a little sadness on his face.

"Such a different woman sacrificed her happiness for the two countries to stop the war." At this time, Chu Xinran felt a trace of sadness in his heart, could it be that women with lofty ambitions can't live long?

A war that could be lost could be quelled with a woman, and no matter how stupid the emperor was, he knew that it was a very good deal, so why not do it?

"Later, people forgot about General Bai's mansion, and forgot Miss Bai who married away for the peace of the two countries." The master's face was full of emotion, as if he did not want to mention the old things.

The students didn't ask again, everyone was smart, and they knew that the master didn't want to talk about it anymore, Xiao Jing knew that the master was clearly telling everyone a story, but in fact, he really told Chu Xinran that if he wanted to get something, he had to lose something, and the relationship between the master and Chu Xinran was definitely not as everyone saw.

Chu Xinran is thirteen years old this year, and she can already discuss marriage, but she doesn't see any movement in Shangshu Mansion, I'm afraid that she has other plans, Chu Xinran has been at home and has only recently arrived at the National Academy, and the only one who is more familiar with her is Liu Xiangli, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, others only know that she is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Military Department, and nothing else is known, even Xiao Jing doesn't know what the master's words seem to remind her of what the words mean.
