Chapter Eighty-Eight: Conscription
Not to mention Lu Yu's illustrious family background, even he is a person, and he always makes Shen He feel difficult to figure out, and he always can't see through! Sometimes it seems that people feel that he is very close to you, but when you want to see him clearly, it seems to be through a cloud. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This feeling is completely different from Huang Ji'an, Huang Ji'an can make her feel very real and safe, but Lu Yu gives her the feeling of being like a flower and mist, she can only look up and from a distance, but she never dares to get too close!
She just hopes to find an ordinary child with an average family background, and spend the rest of her life in peace and stability, that person doesn't need to be too good, as long as she respects her, loves her, and protects her in this life, then she will give birth to a pair of children for him, and the two will cherish each other and spend the rest of their lives together!
As for love, she won't ask for it in this life.
She longs to have an incorruptible body to face love, and if there are tears, she will never fall for love. In her opinion, love is sacred and solemn, it is a human game, she is not a priest, nor is she a player. She is just a mortal woman, and she doesn't have so many pursuits and extravagant hopes, so she won't go for what she can't get now, but to concentrate on doing the things in front of her and holding the happiness in front of her!
Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog. In the middle of the night, the morning goes. When you don't have a lot of spring dreams, you can't find anywhere to go to the clouds.
Shen He unconsciously thought of this poem, maybe Lu Yu had also entered her spring dream, but it was just a dream, and there was no trace of everything after waking up from the dream!
The current situation can't help her dream, and the thing she needs to care about most now is to open a ready-to-wear store!
She also used to open a store in Yong'an City, but at that time, the cost was low, and with Huang Ji'an's help, now it is completely different. The capital is the economic center and cultural center of the whole southern Chu, and even many people from foreign countries will come to the capital to buy goods, so it can be said that the clothing here is also the most novel and fashionable in various places.
Her old designs were still usable, but they had already been worn, and she had to design new styles.
In the past few days, she has found all the clothing designs she has done recently and began to carefully revise them.
Xiao Cui was curious: "Miss, are you going to start making new clothes again?" Didn't we already make a set of winter solstice?"
Shen He said: "This is not worn on the winter solstice, I want to use it when the new store opens"
Xiaocui said: "Miss, are we really going to open a ready-to-wear store?" ”
Shen He smiled: "When did your young lady never believe her words?" ”
Xiaocui said: "I don't mean that, I think the capital is so big, and we are not familiar with each other, is anyone really looking for us to make clothes?" ”
Shen He said: "It's man-made, besides, isn't there still you and Ah Niu to help?" He turned his head and asked Xiaocui: "Why haven't you seen Ah Niu in the past two days?" He's out again? ”
Xiao Cui said hesitantly: "I don't know, maybe it's over running out again"
Shen He knew at a glance that the two of them had something to hide from him, and asked, "Xiaocui, what did Ah Niu do?" Tell me quickly, you know, I don't like people to lie to me the most, you won't do anything with Ah Niu, don't tell me, right? ”
Xiao Cui looked at Shen He's serious expression, and had no choice but to say: "I just said that I can't hide it from you, Ah Niu has to go, Miss, I'll tell you, but you are not allowed to be angry with me and Ah Niu!" ”
Shen He said: "Don't talk about it, let's talk about it, what is the matter?" ”
Xiaocui said: "Ah Niu went to participate in the conscription"
Shen He was stunned for a moment and said, "Conscription? ”
Xiaocui said: "Yes, a few days ago we watched a play on Panlou Street, and when we came out, we got separated, and he saw the conscription notice posted on the city wall, and later, he went to sign up, and he was selected, I really don't know how those recruiters were selected, Ah Niu couldn't even say anything, and he could still be selected"
Shen He didn't have time to listen to her verbosity, so he directly omitted the words behind her and asked, "What kind of soldier was he selected?" Forbidden Army or Box Soldier? ”
Xiao Cui was also stunned after hearing this, scratched her head and said, "I didn't ask what kind of soldier this is, and I don't understand it anymore." I just heard him say that the selection seems to be quite strict. ”
He remembered something and said, "It is for each of them to take a hard bow that takes hundreds of catties to pull apart and a quiver containing fifty arrows, carry a text, wear an iron helmet, a sword at the waist, and carry food, and walk a hundred miles in half a day." Those people were not as strong as Ah Niu, so in the end, Ah Niu was chosen. Ah Niu also said that the people in the government told him that anyone who was selected could be exempted from taxes and forced labor for the whole family. ”
Of course, these Shen He knew that in the catastrophe in her previous life, she had a deep impression of these troops.
At that time, Shen He knew that there was also a recruitment system in Southern Chu, and he also knew about four different armies - the forbidden army, the box soldiers, the Fan soldiers, and the township soldiers.
The forbidden army was a personal soldier in the capital specifically to protect the emperor, stationed in Beijing, and equipped with expeditions, and was the regular army of Southern Chu. It comes from the sturdy soldiers recruited and selected from the country and the township soldiers.
The soldiers were recruited from all over the country, and they did not undergo military training, so they could not fight, and they only served the government. The Tibetan soldiers recruited ethnic minorities in the northwest frontier to serve as transit garrisons. Township soldiers, in addition to recruitment, are also locally recruited and trained as local defense units.
Now, hearing what Xiao Cui said, she probably guessed that Ah Niu might have been selected as a forbidden army or a township soldier, so she could only wait for him to come back and ask. However, Ah Niu didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing to be selected, after all, those things after many years were a great test for a soldier, and there were too many dangerous factors in it, and she only hoped that Ah Niu would be safe from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing Shen He's calm face, Xiao Cui asked tentatively, "Miss, are you angry?" I said I wouldn't let Ah Niu go, but he didn't listen, and he didn't let me tell you, why don't you talk about him when he comes back? ”
Shen He said: "I'm not angry, I'm thinking about something." If Ah Niu really likes to be a soldier, I don't object to it."
Xiaocui said: "Miss, you really don't object to Ah Niu becoming a soldier?" I don't like those who fight and kill, how scary they are! ”
Shen He nodded and said, "Of course I don't object, being a soldier can kill the enemy for the country and defend our homeland, which is also a matter of pride for Ah Niu, why don't I agree?" ”
Xiao Cui smiled: "Haha, Miss, don't tease me, just Ah Niu's stupid appearance and killing the enemy for the country, I think it's good that his soldier can catch one or two thieves in the capital, and now that the country is so peaceful, there is no need to use knives and guns to fight!" ”
Shen He didn't say anything anymore, because her mind flashed the sign she asked for for Ah Niu when she was in Chongfu Temple in the south mountain of Yong'an City:
Persuade Jun Mo to laugh at the child, he is on the top of the third public seat every day
Fifteen days of light first appeared, and the wind and clouds did not open.
She still remembered the monk's words at that time: This hexagram is the image of the dragon gate, and everything will be good.
Thinking of this, Shen He felt that maybe Ah Niu could be conscripted into the army was not a bad thing, and it might be a good opportunity for him to display his talents and ambitions, so she wanted to go with the flow and let Ah Niu do what she wanted. (To be continued.) )
