Chapter 20: The Detachment of Women
After Cheng Qiuyu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, looking determined to do so.
Seeing this, Qin Shu couldn't help but stand up in surprise.
She looked at her quietly for a while, until she confirmed that she was true, and then Qin Shu asked a little puzzled, "Miss Cheng, are you...... What do you mean by that? β
Why do you want to follow her for no reason?
"If you are grateful because I went to rescue the Cheng family, and you want to follow me, then it is really unnecessary." Qin Shu said, "You should know that it was an order from the marshal to support your Cheng family, and I just went to join in the fun." What's more, your whole family has already taken refuge in us, we are a family, isn't it natural for us to send troops to save people? β
When Cheng Qiuyu heard this, she slowly straightened up, looked at Qin Shu and shook her head slightly, and said, "That's not the case, it's not just for this reason that I want to follow Madame." I see all the qiΔ that Madame has done for our Cheng family. If it weren't for Madame, we wouldn't have escaped so easily. I am both grateful and admired to my wife. This decision was not made on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration. Even if I can only be a maid next to my wife, I am willing. Qiu Yu's words are true, and I ask my wife to give me a chance to repay my gratitude and loyalty. Cheng Qiuyu finished speaking firmly, and then bent down again.
Hearing this, Qin Shu's brows furrowed tightly.
She wanted to refuse, but seeing Cheng Qiuyu kneeling on the ground, looking extremely stubborn, she couldn't say anything if she refused.
At this moment, in a flash of lightning, a thought suddenly flashed in her heart. His eyes lit up.
When he looked at Cheng Qiuyu again, the look on his face was no longer just distressed, but showed a hint of a smile.
She walked up to Cheng Qiuyu and bent down, and forcefully helped Cheng Qiuyu up.
Cheng Qiuyu originally planned that as long as Qin Shu didn't agree, she couldn't afford to kneel, but her strength was really not as good as Qin Shu, and she was worried about the injury on Qin Shu's arm, so she could only stand up with her support.
"Madam......" Cheng Qiuyu's face was a little puzzled and uneasy.
"If you have something to say, don't kneel at every turn." Qin Shu patted her hand and said with a smile.
"Madame, did you promise me to follow you?" Cheng Qiuyu suppressed her excitement and asked.
Qin Shu didn't answer immediately, but pulled her to sit down, then looked at her and said, "You said you want to follow me, but I want to ask, how do you want to follow me?" β
Cheng Qiuyu was stunned.
"Like you said before, do you want to be a maid, or something?" Qin Shu continued to ask.
Cheng Qiuyu obviously didn't think of this question before, she thought about it for a while, and it wasn't until Qin Shu finished half of the tea that she said as if she had made up her mind: "Whatever Madam needs me to do, I'll do it?" If Madame needs my service, then I will be a maid, and if Madame needs my protection, then I will be Madame's escort. β
Hearing this, Qin Shu nodded with a smile and said, "I received your determination." Actually, I have an idea now. β
β¦β¦
When Cheng Qiuyu came out of Qin Shu, there was still a bit of excitement on her face.
She didn't expect Madame to have such a brilliant idea.
What a lady.
What others can't even think of, she actually says to do.
Why hadn't she thought about it before?
She has studied martial arts since elementary school, and she is no worse than her two elder brothers.
But she also understands that her brother can go into battle to kill the enemy and show her ambitions, but she can only marry in the future, and then be trapped in the back house, husband and children. A skill, useless.
However, after coming into contact with Mrs. Qin, she found that she might be able to choose another life.
Therefore, she followed Mrs. Qin without hesitation.
In addition to being sincerely grateful and admiring Mrs. Qin, he also obeyed his heart's desires.
She is unwilling to marry and have children like other women, she wants to learn and make her own career.
Except for Mrs. Qin, no one would understand such an idea at all, not even her two elder brothers.
She didn't follow the wrong person.
Cheng Qiuyu thought so and returned home.
The Cheng family does not live in the Marshal's Mansion, but it is not far from the Marshal's Mansion.
Only the eldest sister-in-law Feng and the five-year-old nephew are at home.
Cheng Qiuyu was in a good mood, so she teased her little nephew for a while, and the sound of the two joking soon came out.
Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw his sister-in-law so happy, he had a preoccupied appearance before, but after returning from the Marshal's Mansion, he changed to a different look.
"Qiuyu, is there anything good going on, you can also tell your sister-in-law." Feng asked jokingly.
Cheng Qiuyu is also very close to this sister-in-law who has always loved her, and she is willing to tell her if she has anything to say.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the Marshal's Mansion on an errand in the future."
"Errand?" Feng Shi's face was full of surprise, and he frowned in disbelief, and said, "What's the problem?" β
Cheng Qiuyu said with a smile: "I have sworn allegiance to Madame Qin, and I will follow her in the future, so I naturally want to be on an errand in front of Madame." β
Tomorrow, she will discuss the details with her wife!
The Women's Army wasn't that easy to build.
"What?" Feng Shi looked at her in disbelief, "Qiu Yu, you're not joking with your sister-in-law, how can you do this?" Your eldest brother and second brother are loyal to Marshal Qin, men always have to do something, but you are a woman, or the eldest lady of our Cheng family, and you will get married soon, why do you want to learn these from them? Isn't this nonsense? β
By the end, the tone had become stern.
Hearing this, the smile on Cheng Qiuyu's face also retracted.
She said lightly: "I'm not messing around, I'm serious." I've only just been married, so I don't need to marry so early
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
Soon, there is no need to marry so early, and it will be the same in a few years. It's a big deal, I just don't get married. However, I must do this errand. β
Feng Shi listened and almost fainted.
If you let her husband know that her sister-in-law doesn't want to get married, I'm afraid that the first person to blame is her, thinking that she didn't teach Cheng Qiuyu well.
So, she hurriedly persuaded: "Qiuyu, you must not have such thoughts. For women, the most important thing is to get married and have children, how can you do it if you don't get married? I know that you are grateful to Mrs. Qin, and in fact, you are also grateful to her for cleaning. However, there are many ways to repay the favor, and you don't necessarily have to pay for your life. If Mrs. Qin is a man, it doesn't matter if you marry her, or give her a second room, but she is a woman and can't marry you. You have to think it through. β
Feng also thought that Cheng Qiuyu was demented, even if he knew that Mrs. Qin was a woman, he still liked her, so he had this idea of not marrying.
In fact, Cheng Qiuyu did this for one reason at the beginning, but more importantly, it was for the dream in his heart.
Hearing Feng's words, Cheng Qiuyu's face was slightly red, and she said with some shame: "Sister-in-law, where do you want to go?" It's not what you think it is at all. Who said that women must get married, I really want to make a career. Okay, you don't have to persuade me, I've made up my mind. β
Seeing Feng's ugly face, she hurriedly added: "Of course, I'm not saying that I won't marry in the future, I just want to marry a few years later." Sister-in-law, you have always known me, I will not lie to you. I'll be willful for once, and you won't agree? β
Hearing this, Feng Shi looked at Cheng Qiuyu, only to see her looking at herself expectantly and anxiously, for fear that she would not agree, her heart couldn't help but soften, she sighed, and said, "Forget it, I can't talk about you." It's just this matter, you'd better tell your eldest brother and second brother, I can't live in the Lord. β
"Thank you, sister-in-law! I knew you would understand me. Even if Feng still didn't support herself, she no longer objected, and Cheng Qiuyu was still relieved.
"However, the eldest brother and the second brother are very busy, so don't tell them about this matter for the time being, and after a while, the imperial army will be withdrawn, and it won't be too late for me to tell them." Cheng Qiuyu said.
She thought very clearly, even if the eldest brother and the second brother did not agree, I am afraid it would not be easy to come to the door to ask for someone for Mrs.
When she makes achievements in the future, they will have no reason to object, and maybe they will support her.
The matter was settled.
Qin Zhaocheng didn't know that his unconscious mother had come up with a moth again, and he even wanted to establish his own women's army.
If he knew, he didn't know how he would react. Probably wouldn't agree.
Therefore, Qin Shu didn't want to sue him for the time being.
Just let him think he's idle, just play around!
Anyway, there won't be many people at first. Once he asked, she said that she wanted to train a few female guards, and I believe he wouldn't think in other directions.
Then slowly expand the number of people, after the formation of the women's army, he wanted to oppose it in vain.
The little abacus in Qin Shu's heart crackled.
After making up her mind, Qin Shu began to think about the candidates for the Women's Army.
In addition to Cheng Qiuyu, Qin Shu's first thought was Zhou Zhen'er.
After all, she has also learned martial arts since she was a child, and she has a natural advantage.
But after thinking about it, Qin Shu still reluctantly gave up on her.
First, Zhou Zhen'er likes You'an, and it is very likely that she will become You'an's concubine in the future. If she becomes her subordinate again, this identity will be blurred, and I am afraid that it will be unclear when the time comes.
Second, in Zhou Zhen'er's heart, she is far less important than You'an, and I am afraid that she will raise a little traitor in the future, and her women's army can only be loyal to her.
Third, according to her character, she may not be willing to join the Women's Army. Even if Zhou Zhen'er intends to join, as long as You'an disagrees, she will definitely be the first to give up.
Therefore, Zhou Zhener can only be excluded.
And Sun Xiaohong and others are not suitable, after all, they are already nurses. However, in the future, they can be incorporated into the women's army.
Even Dongxue and Dongyu them, she thought about them, but in the end she denied it.
After such an investigation, there are really few people who can use it. I can only choose slowly.
Just when Qin Shu was recuperating from her injuries and secretly planning to set up her own women's army, the imperial army and the Minzhou army had already clashed once.
This confrontation can only be regarded as a test to measure the strength of the other party.
Before, Zhu Cuo's army fought with the Minzhou army, so that Zhu Cuo didn't dare to underestimate Qin Zhaocheng, and his attitude was much more cautious than before.
Because it was just a temptation, everyone didn't do their best, and as soon as the sun went down, they immediately withdrew their troops.
The strength of the two sides is similar.
However, Minzhou City occupies a geographical advantage, and it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is basically impossible for Zhu Cuo to capture Minzhou in a short time.
It's a pity that Zhu Cuo is not a person who will admit defeat lightly, and he will definitely not retreat in the face of difficulties.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Qin Zhaocheng came back to accompany Qin Shu to dinner as usual.
Fortunately, this time he didn't feed Qin Shu personally, he just kept putting vegetables for her, and he had to watch Qin Shu finish eating before he was done.
Qin Shu was really afraid of this son.
For dinner, after the maids carried the dining table out, Qin Shu said to Qin Zhaocheng: "You'an, my mother will discuss something with you." β
"You say!" Qin Zhaocheng glanced at her with a hint of a smile. He knew that his mother would not stop.
"My mother wants to establish a women's escort team, what do you think?" Qin Shu said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"Women's Escort?" Qin Zhaocheng frowned.
"Yes!" Qin Shu even thought of the reason, "My mother is a woman, and it is really inconvenient to ask for a male guard." But women are different, not only can they be protected
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
Isn't it nice that it can not only keep me safe, but also talk to me and that I can do something? β
"Okay!" Qin Zhaocheng pondered a little, and then agreed, in fact, as long as Qin Shu didn't think about going to the battlefield to fight all day long, he was still very talkative.
"Do you want me to pick some people for you?" He asked.
"No need! It's more desirable to personally pick and announce it yourself. Qin Shu said with a smile.
Qin Zhaocheng didn't insist, it's not bad to let his mother find something to do.
The maids were not waiting in the room, so Qin Shu generously took out a fruit platter, as well as a pot of warm water, and put it on the kang table, and the two ate fruit while talking.
Qin Zhaocheng checked the injury on Qin Shu's forearm again, and found that the wound was really much better, so he was relieved.
As for Qin Shu's leg injury, even if he is her son, it is not easy to check, so he can only give up.
After all, it doesn't have much impact on Qin Shu's walking, sitting and lying, and it won't be too strict when you think about it.
After using up the fruit and talking for a while, he urged Qin Shu to rest.
Qin Shu's stubbornness towards her son was really helpless, so she could only accept her fate and rest.
It's just that after arriving at the bedroom, I can't help but go to the space, improve some details of the Women's Army, write down everything that comes to mind, and by the way, I also designed the clothing of the Women's Army, it is best to have a beautiful logo or team emblem, which can represent the soul of the Women's Army.
After planning for a long time, Qin Shu finally fell asleep, and then fell asleep, and woke up the next day, full of energy.
Just after breakfast, Cheng Qiuyu came.
Qin Shu discussed some details with her, and Cheng Qiuyu obviously thought about it a lot, and proposed a lot of proposals, until noon, the two of them were still a little unsatisfied.
In the end, Qin Shu decided on the emblem of the Women's Army and used the red lotus.
Red represents bloody, enthusiastic, vigorous, red lotus's flower language is perseverance and bravery, she feels very suitable as a symbol of the women's army, in the future people will think of the women's army, maybe it can also be called "red lotus army". Inside he was wearing a red power suit, leather armor on the outside, and a red lotus was embroidered on the team flag. Clothes, shoes, turbans or handkerchiefs can also be embroidered with red lotus.
The prototype of the Women's Army is finally there, and it can be slowly improved in the future.
The most important thing now is to gather people.
Qin Shu thought about it, ordinary people's daughters are not happy to let them be nurses, let alone become female soldiers, the only way is to find those poor people who can't eat, as long as they give some silver, they should be able to buy it back.
It's just that she bought it back, not as a maid, but as a female soldier.
There is no way, now it can only be done.
When they have a strong reputation in the future, or the lives of the people are really unbearable, they have to rebel, so that it is possible to respond to all calls, and then the women will rush to join the women's army.
There are people everywhere who can't eat.
Minzhou is no exception.
Qin Shu bought fifty girls in one go, most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, all of them were yellow and thin. There are many brothers and sisters in their family, most of them are not taken seriously, their status is embarrassing, and their parents are not distressed when they sell them.
Qin Shumai doesn't look at looks, only looks at the mind and physical condition.
Do not bind your feet.
Fortunately, at this time, the foot-binding is basically the ladies of the aristocratic family, and the vast majority of the common people rarely have foot-binding, unless the family wants their daughters to climb high branches, they will bind their feet.
Xu Zhaoting's family was only a landlord before, far from being a nobleman, and their daughter did not bind her feet, and Shen Jingfang had a pair of heavenly feet, which was also the most satisfying thing for Qin Shu.
These girls are very weak, but they are basically hungry and malnourished, not suffering from any disease, and she will not buy anyone who is really sick.
Therefore, even if some girls are very thin and embarrassed, they are definitely not worth a few dollars in the eyes of people, but Qin Shu does not let people lower the price too much, and the price is the same as that of ordinary girls.
After Qin Shu bought people, she asked them to bathe, change into new clothes, eat, and set aside a courtyard for them to live in.
The clothes were all ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and the style was a little strange, they were all short shirts and trousers, but at least they were new, and they were thick and warm.
She will teach these women to read and write, practice martial arts, promote them well, and become generals in the women's army in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is to cultivate their loyalty and belonging to the women's army, in short, to brainwash them.
She doesn't want the female generals she has cultivated with great difficulty to be rejected from joining the Women's Army in the future, or forced to join the Women's Army.
She wants them to join willingly, and take the initiative to defend the army, and treat herself as a member of the women's army through and for all, and only be loyal to her.
After recruiting these people, Qin Shu finally got busy.
In the morning, when it was not dawn, they began to teach them martial arts, which was relatively simple.
Now their bodies are too weak, and they have to take their time.
After breakfast, teach them to read and write, and by the way, educate them ideologically.
In the afternoon, in addition to martial arts training, they will also be assigned some work to avoid their anxiety.
Of course, a lot of homework was assigned to them, which they had to check the next day.
After tossing like this for two days, the people in the marshal's mansion probably knew what Qin Shu was doing.
The vast majority of people were puzzled by what she was doing.
It's just a matter of training a few female guards, can you afford to spend so much effort?
But it would be wrong to say that Madame was just idle and bored, on a whim, and anyone could see how much she cared about them.
It's incomprehensible.
But there are also some people who feel Mrs. Qin's intentions, but they just don't say it, such as Chen Xiuyuan, who is gentle and elegant on the surface, but is actually cunning and cunning, he just wants to see it
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
, he just wanted to see what tricks Mrs. Qin could make?
Cultivating talents doesn't happen overnight, not to mention these girls who have no foundation.
In fact, Qin Shu doesn't expect to train them much more, she just hopes that there will be more girls who are self-reliant, independent, brave and resolute. It would be even better if we could make a world out of the world in the future.
When women see them so majestic, they will definitely learn from them.
She doesn't want women to be oppressed and bound all the time, and hopes that one day in the future, she will be able to elevate the status of women, instead of just climbing the road of men.
Qin Shu also knew that her idea was difficult to realize. This is a patriarchal society, and men certainly don't want women to be strong and challenge their authority. Not only men will oppose it, but even more women will oppose it, helping to maintain male rule, they have become accustomed to being bound and oppressed. I don't want to change, and I don't want to see other women change. In other words, for hundreds of years, they have been brainwashed too thoroughly by things like "The Female Ring", thinking that the way of women's suppleness, three obedience and four virtues, and taking the husband as the sky, is the right reason; What kind of resistance, what kind of independence is the great rebellion.
But if she crosses once, she can't cross in vain.
If she doesn't have that condition and ability, it will be the end of living her life in peace. If she has the ability in the future, why not make some changes?
Sometimes, she is extremely glad that this is a troubled time, and the social order is strictly destroyed, and it will definitely be re-established in the future, which is an opportunity.
Of course, Qin Shu would not say these words, it was just a little selfishness of hers.
If you say it, it is You'an, and she may not be on her side.
She can see that You'an is also very dismissive of women, and even he doesn't like this kind of woman with a sense of resistance, he hopes that women are supple, understand the rules, and know etiquette, just like Shen Jingfang.
For Qin Shu's actions, of course Mrs. Xu and Shen Jingfang also knew.
After Mrs. Xu heard the news, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and sighed to Shen Jingfang: "What are you saying this Mrs. Qin is tossing around?" Can't she be quiet for a while? There's still a battle going on outside the city! She's not worried at all? That's a big heart. Alas, I don't know, how can she raise such a heroic and capable son with such a temperament? β
Shen Jingfang smiled slightly and did not speak.
"Pity my Jingfang, after marrying, I will have to serve such a restless mother-in-law, I am afraid that you will suffer when the time comes." Mrs. Xu said with some concern.
Hearing this, Xu Huizhu, who looked delicate and had an innocent and lovely face, rolled her eyes, put her arms around Shen Jingfang's arm, and said, "Since my mother is so worried, then don't let my sister marry over!" I can't bear my sister! β
Shen Jingfang also smiled and touched her head.
Mrs. Xu has already regarded Marshal Qin as her quasi-son-in-law, and she is very satisfied with him, just in response to that sentence, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, how can she not agree! Even if she has some opinions about Qin Shu, she will not ruin her daughter's marriage because of her.
So, it's just whining.
Hearing the words of the youngest daughter, he just smiled and said, "That's not good, if I really don't agree, your sister should be annoyed with me." β
She knew that during this time, her goddaughter had made clothes, shoes and socks for Marshal Qin, but because she hadn't decided on a marriage yet, she didn't send it over, and she obviously liked him very much.
After the imperial army was repulsed, their marriage should almost be put on the agenda.
When Shen Jingfang heard this, her face turned red all of a sudden.
"Mother, don't make fun of your daughter, if you say it, your daughter won't get married." After saying that, he was about to leave, obviously a little annoyed.
"Okay, okay, my mother won't say it." Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter was really angry, and hurriedly said.
"However, what my mother said is also true, after you get married, you should also persuade Mrs. Qin more, so that you can be regarded as fulfilling your duty as a daughter-in-law. Now, we don't have a position to say anything, let's just stand by and watch! Mrs. Xu sighed again.
When Shen Jingfang heard this, she was silent for a while, lowered her head and said, "Mother, I haven't written a word yet, isn't it too early to say this?" β
"It's not early, it's not early, my mother just wants you to be mentally prepared."
