Chapter 11 Managing Family Affairs
The plot of this "Female General" is very similar to the "Mulan" that Dongfang Mo knew in her previous life, except that one is named Mulan and the other is called Yuan Ying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Ying's father was a blacksmith, because his right foot was somewhat disabled, even if his skills were good and he had something to eat, it was only after he had saved enough money for his wife at the age of thirty-one or twelve that he became married to a weak girl in the same town.
After marriage, because Yuan Ying's father was honest and capable, the two husbands and wives lived in harmony and respect. Yuan Ying was born three years after marriage, and almost took her mother's life, so after the two couples discussed, they no longer had children.
When Yuan Ying was fifteen years old, she was already very beautiful, and her parents pondered the etiquette and then found her mother-in-law's house. At that time, the northern nomads continued to harass the south, and the regime stipulated that one man from each household should go to the front.
Pity her father, who has a disabled foot and can't go to war, and whether there are any other men in the family. So Yuan Ying resolutely decided to disguise herself as a man and join the army for her father, and began her eleven-year military life.
Going to the border to fight, even for a man with strong body, is a very difficult and fortunate thing. What's more, in addition to hiding his identity, Yuan Ying also has to train and kill the enemy with other comrades...... This makes her situation even more difficult.
Fortunately, she was born in a blacksmith family, her parents never pampered her, she not only had to take care of her frail mother since she was a child, but also went to her father's blacksmith shop to help, and developed her a hearty and hard-working character.
Later, with top-notch results, he was selected as the personal soldier of the lord of Nanhuai.
It turned out that the Nanhuai monarch was influenced by his father and brother, and he was also a female general who was iron-blooded on the battlefield. She inadvertently discovered the identity of Yuan Ying's daughter, and took pity on Yuan Ying's life experience, not only forgave her for the crime of concealing her identity, but also promoted her to become a confidant.
Yuan Ying followed under the command of the Nanhuai County Lord, and together with the Nanhuai County Lord, he exterminated the foreign army and drove them out of the Guanwai. Yuan Ying because of his repeated military exploits, and blocked the deadly sneak attack for the county lord of Nanhuai at a difficult moment.
After returning to the court with the army, His Majesty the Emperor specially appointed her as a deputy general under the command of the Nanhuai monarch.
Yuan Ying became famous, returned to her hometown, and picked up her pair of parents to Beijing for a reunion.
The scene performed by the troupe now is the most important scene in the whole play of "The Female General".
On the stage, Hua Dan, who played Yuan Ying, sat alone in front of the dresser, holding a pair of scissors in one hand and grabbing her hair in the other. In the mirror, she was so reluctant to keep her long hair for more than ten years, but she thought of her father with inconvenient legs and feet, and her heart was ruthless, and she finally cut her long hair.
On the side of the Heting Water Pavilion, the old lady had long been moved to tears by this scene. Mama Xu handed over a silk handkerchief scented with jasmine to wipe her old man's tears.
Every time I watch this play, I will bring back the memories of the old lady before she left the cabinet.
her father, who did not pass away, played with a gun in front of her for the first time;
taught her squatting for the first time;
took her into the armory room for the first time to pick up a gun;
The first time she was instructed to practice guns;
First ...... First ...... Many of her firsts were taught to her by her father himself!
Time is like an arrow, a hundred years in an instant.
Now that her father has long passed away, and she is also a twilight old man, the only thing that has not changed is the precious memories she cherishes in her mind.
Dongfang Mo, who was watching the play with relish, heard the movement of the old lady, and also withdrew her gaze and turned to the old lady.
Seven hundred years of life in the previous life, coupled with more than ten years of experience in this life, how can Dongfang Mo not see that the old lady is touching the scene!
She put on an expression on her face that resonated with the old lady, and said, "This Hua Dan is really good!" Don't say that grandmothers and granddaughters-in-law were very moved. ”
The old lady, who was originally crying in front of the juniors and crying, was a little embarrassed on her face.
Dongfang Mo's words not only resolved her embarrassment, but also made her happy.
The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and put on a smile on her wrinkled face. After all, the daughter's family softened a little, and when they saw what was moved, they couldn't help crying. Mo'er, you see that these two big men are much calmer than us. ”
When the old lady said this, General Yang and Feng Lin were not convinced.
Especially General Yang, he is an iron-blooded general who leads the 100,000 troops of the imperial dynasty, this Hua Dan drama is performed well, and he is also moved. But he can't just stir a handkerchief to wipe his tears like a girl because the plot in the play is touching.
If he really did this, the news was accidentally transmitted back to the imperial capital, and he must not let those officials who stir up trouble all day long make the people in the imperial capital laugh at him!
Of course, General Yang dared to think about such an idea in his heart. really said it, and the old lady didn't peel off a layer of skin from him.
General Yang suddenly ordered the soldiers who were waiting beside him: "Go, take some broken silver and reward that Hua Dan." ”
If the pro-soldier gets the order, he will naturally do it.
The old lady was also very happy, and when she dispersed in the evening, she ordered someone to enjoy a table of wine and food for the troupe, and rewarded a lot of silver. Especially the Hua Dan who played Yuan Ying, the old lady not only saw her in person, but also asked her to bring some pulp to entertain her, and also rewarded her with an extra silver ingot.
That Hua Dan thanked him for his kindness, and then was sent out of the mansion by the little guy from the City Lord's Mansion along with the rest of the troupe.
After dinner, the group moved to the old lady's house. Mama Xu let the maid make tea, and then withdrew from the maid who was waiting in the house, so that the masters could speak.
At this time, Dongfang Mo was arranged to sit in front of Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai used her hand full of wrinkles and age spots to affectionately hold Dongfang Mo's white and tender Rouyi, and officially introduced Feng Lin's true identity to her.
The old man told Dongfang Mo what happened in the City Lord's Mansion and Qu Tianlin's condition together.
The old lady patted the back of Dongfang Mo's hand, "Mo'er, you are now the wife of the city lord, your grandmother is old, and all the big and small matters in this city lord's mansion should be taken care of by you young people." ”
Dongfang Mo heard that in the words of the old lady, there was a meaning of letting her preside over the feed, and hurriedly refused, "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law just married into the mansion and is not familiar with the things in the mansion, I'm afraid that the cooking is not good." ”
Since Mrs. Tai has such a plan, how can she make Dongfang Mo refuse: "You are smart and knowledgeable, grandmother believes that if you learn slowly and manage slowly, you will be able to get started." ”
Dongfang Mo heard it, and the old lady's words were not allowed to be refused at all. She didn't want to upset her elders as soon as she got married, so she had to compromise, "Yes, the granddaughter-in-law listens to her grandmother for everything." ”
General Yang was on the side, listening to the conversation between the two people, and seeing that the old lady valued Dongfang Mo so much, he looked at Dongfang Mo even more differently.
Early the next morning, General Yang returned to the imperial capital with his own soldiers, and Dongfang Mo and Feng Lin personally sent him to the city gate. Before leaving, General Yang sent an invitation to Dongfang Mo, asking her to go to the Weiyuan General's Mansion with her husband to attend the birthday of the current General Weiyuan in September.
Dongfang Mo and Feng Lin both understood in their hearts that General Yang deliberately said that Fujun was referring to the real Qu Tianlin!
Seeing General Yang away, Dongfang Mo and Feng Lin did not go back to the City Lord's Mansion directly, but went to Dongfang Mansion. Because today is the third day of her wedding, according to the wedding custom, she returned to the door with her husband.
