Chapter 187: The crowd is excited
How can this be...... How can that be?"
An old general sitting next to Chu Xiaoxiao slapped the table angrily on the spot and glared at Chu Xiaoxiao angrily, but his face was red and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao never wanted to keep it hidden, being exposed at this time still made her feel a little surprised, and then turned her head to look at the man who had just spoken.
The man who had just spoken was still standing between the crowd with confidence, and after seeing someone respond, his face, which was still a little uneasy, suddenly became reasonable, and he looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's gaze with a look of disdain.
Chu Xiaoxiao recognized this man and fought with her before, but before that, she had never seen this man, and she had no grudges.
Everyone was talking, and Yao Wei naturally couldn't sit idly by, so he said, "Chu Xiao, what he said is true?"
Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still took a step forward and said loudly: "It's true, I'm Chu Xiaoxiao." ”
Even if she is now disguised as a man and incognito to participate in the martial arts, it does not mean that Chu Xiaoxiao will continue like this forever, since sooner or later her true identity will be revealed, then it makes no difference if she is a moment earlier or a moment later.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao looked thoughtfully at the man who had just spoken, and when she saw clearly the trace of resentment in the other party's eyes, Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes showed a hint of understanding.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao was calm, the people who heard Chu Xiaoxiao's personal admission were not so calm.
In this world, most men despise women, especially if this woman is still from a high family.
In the eyes of these people, a woman should be a husband and a child at home, and it is really unseemly to come out and show her face.
So at this moment, everyone's words became more intense.
Yao Ai looked at the group of candidates below with a smile, and suddenly said, "Everyone, do you think that the county lord of Huaiyang should not participate in the martial arts?"
These people at the bottom naturally hoped that Chu Xiaoxiao would be eliminated like this, after all, without Chu Xiaoxiao, their nouns could be taken a step further, so they echoed one after another.
"Lord Yao, as a woman, how can this Huaiyang County Lord be mixed with so many men, and where will he put the men of the world in such an act?!"
"Yes, a woman should be married and taught children at home!"
"The imperial examination system is the foundation of a country, how can a woman be allowed to mess around at will!"
The hustle and bustle continued to sound, and most of the people present resented and despised the old man Chu Xiaoxiao, as if Chu Xiaoxiao had done something heinous.
After a while, Yao Ai raised his hand to silence these people, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao, "Huaiyang County Lord, what do you have to say?"
Chu Xiaoxiao also looked at these people with the same mockery, and when she heard Yao Ai's words, she said loudly: "General Yao, in the laws of Izumo Kingdom, it seems that he has never spoken, and women cannot be generals. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present was silent.
It's true that there is no law in Izumo Province that says that women can't be officials, but does this kind of thing need to be explained?
Although Izumo Province is not without female officials, it is all a way for famous families to add glory to their daughters. Moreover, the female officials in the dynasty are all doing some idle jobs in places such as the Guozijian Hanlin Academy, and they have no real power at all, so naturally they cannot be compared with Chu Xiaoxiao's current actions.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Yao Ai couldn't help laughing, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Lord Huaiyang, it seems that they can't accept you very well." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "When, when will the imperial examination of Izumo Country also be the turn of these people?"
"You! After Chu Xiaoxiao's words were finished, an old general sitting next to Yao Ai was furious on the spot, and said sharply: "Lord Huaiyang, this is the examination room! Since ancient times, it has been a felony for her to disturb the imperial examination, and the old man thinks that you are young and ignorant, and if you don't care about you, don't go out quickly!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing on the spot, and said: "Old General Xu, whether Chu Xiaoxiao is young and ignorant, you should know in your heart that there has been no rule in Izumo Country since ancient times that women are not allowed to enter the ranks, and when my mother died on the battlefield as a guard at the border pass, no one said that she was a woman and couldn't go to the battlefield, right?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but think of Chu Xiaoxiao's other identity, that is, the daughter of General Feng Yao.
Although Feng Yao is a woman, she can be regarded as a famous general in the entire history of Izumo Province.
At that time, Feng Miao took over the war at the northwest border pass on the occasion of worship, and burned the 200,000 troops of Dijon Kingdom with his own strength, so that there would be no more war in Izumo Country within ten years. Even the generals who are now brilliant in battle do not dare to deny Feng Yao's exploits.
But it is precisely because of this that no one will compare Feng Yao with ordinary women, let alone change the situation of men being respected in Izumo Province for hundreds of years.
Because Feng Miao is Feng Yao, it is a legendary existence in the eyes of the world, and there will be no woman in the world who can reach it.
"You ......" The old general Xu who had just spoken wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.
Because in addition to Chu Xiaoxiao's identity as a woman, her ability is indeed not inferior to any man present.
Yao Ai looked at this scene with interest, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and after a while, he said to everyone: "You guys...... Or is it against Chu Xiaoxiao's participation in martial arts?
General Xu said: "Women should be three from four virtues, if all women are like the lord of Huaiyang, how can there be order in this world!"
Although he said so, General Xu spoke in a very polite tone to Yao Ai, after all, no matter what, Yao Ai is the chief examiner of this martial arts, and whether Chu Xiaoxiao wants to go or stay is also Yao Ai's final say.
As soon as General Xu's words came out, many candidates in the audience at this time also echoed it.
Although everyone was speechless when Chu Xiaoxiao said that, at this moment, they still didn't want Chu Xiaoxiao to participate in the martial arts.
After all, no matter how much you are moved, it can't compare to your vital interests.
No matter what Chu Xiaoxiao's literary test results are, the first place in the Fang Cai Wu test alone is enough to rank among the top three. If Chu Xiaoxiao's results are canceled, then they will have less competition and more opportunities.
Thinking like this, the expressions of everyone present became even more embarrassed.
After all, no matter how fanciful they say, it is a fact that they suppress a woman for their own results, and most importantly, this woman is better than everyone they are present.
Looking at everyone's unnatural expressions, Yao Ai laughed out loud again.
Everyone looked at Yao Ai, who suddenly laughed, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
