In the end, Shen Zhezi did not revise this "Liang Zhu" according to Princess Xingnan's wishes, because the princess's attention was quickly attracted by another manuscript brought by Gua'er, and the story recorded in that manuscript was "Mulan".

Compared with the poignant tactfulness of "Liang Zhu" and the critical accusations contained in it, the synopsis of "Mulan" is simpler, the content is also positive, and the main ideological value is reflected in the praise of women.

Because of social unrest and wars, women joining the military are not alone in the current situation. In the early years, when the sun was in turmoil, a large number of women from private families were used as strong men. Of course, these women were persecuted and suffered from war.

It is not without women who really take the initiative to join the military and establish meritorious deeds. For example, Xun Guan, the daughter of Xun Song of Yingchuan, had a rebellion in the Han Dynasty, and Xun Song was ordered to garrison Wancheng and was besieged, and it was his little daughter Xun Guan who led the troops to break through and ask for help.

And nowadays another more fierce woman is the wife of Liu Yao, the Duke of Quanling, who sat in Huaibei in the early years, Shao Shi, Shao Shi was the daughter of the late Jizhou Assassin Shi Shao Xu, Liu Yao's militia rebelled several times, and this Shao repeatedly turned the tide and suppressed the rebellion.

The most recent time was after Liu Yao's death, Guo Mo was ordered to lead Liu Yao's old department, because of the lack of power and subduation, Liu Yao's old department rebelled one after another, if it wasn't for the Shao Clan to suppress it, Guo Mo's ability to save his life is still between the two. Even if Xi Jian is now sitting in Huaidi, he still has to be courteous to Liu Yao's widow.

Of course, the status of women in the present day is not only reflected in the military, and the women who can make contributions from the military are only a minority after all. More women's abilities are still reflected in the maintenance of the family, such as Mrs. Wei, the mother of Li Chong in Jiangxia, and the mother of Liu Yi, who is known as the Yonghe Merry Sect, and they occupy an irreplaceable and important position in the education of their children and the shaping of their personalities.

Therefore, in today's troubled times, the social status of women is by no means just a vassal of men, and even in many ways, their perseverance in the face of suffering can play a role that is not inferior to that of men, and even surpasses it!

Of course, Shen Zhezi's "Mulan" cannot copy the original "Mulan Ci", but it retains the core of a substitute father serving in the army, and the background is placed in the final Ying and Yue battles of the Eight Kings Rebellion. Hua Mulan naturally belongs to the righteous Yuefu side, a person from Langya in Xuzhou, and the opponent is naturally Qihu, who now dominates the Central Plains.

Mulan's story is naturally not as poignant as "Liang Zhu", but it is much more exciting, and Shen Zhezi's redundant description greatly enriches Mulan's military deeds in the process of serving as her father. For Princess Xingnan, the attraction is many times greater than that of "Liang Zhu".

Although the story of "Liang Zhu" was written early, it is Shen Zhezi's repertoire. As for Mulan's story, he wrote it in the format of a drama from the beginning. For this unseen literary genre, Princess Xingnan had some difficulty reading it at first, but halfway through it, she gradually got used to it, and even went back to read it again.

From the morning to the evening, Princess Xingnan read the script of tens of thousands of words, and when the scroll was closed, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she realize that she had been sitting for most of the day, and her limbs had become stiff and paralyzed. She rubbed her somewhat sour neck and wanted to stand up, but her body shook and fell into Shen Zhezi's arms.

However, Princess Xingnan didn't care much about the tiredness of her body, her eyes were clear, and she shook the scroll and sighed: "This Mulan lady is not inferior to a man!" Killing the enemy in battle, sensitive and meritorious, but anyone who has ambition can move forward, the so-called difference between men and women, just a mediocre see! My husband's encouragement is really exciting! ”

Hearing that this girl was so excited that she was incoherent, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sweat profusely. This little lady's sense of substitution is inevitably too strong, is it possible that she really has the heart to imitate Congrong?

After a pause, a shy smile appeared on Princess Xingnan's face: "It's just that the little word Mulan is not good, since she has no eldest brother in the family, her parents will naturally have high hopes, after all, it is still 'Xingnan' to be more ......."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he was even more speechless, although this girl's taste is not high, her literary heart is hot, and there are always too many reveries to replace her.

He stretched out his hand to grab the scroll, and bent his fingers to knock on the girl's smooth forehead: "You little lady, you are still ignorant, you can live at home, I already want to thank you for your help, how much can you understand from this kind of thing in the Rong war?" These idle plays, absurd, you can't even tell the truth from the fake, and what are you thinking! ”

Princess Xingnan rubbed the door of the bullet's head, snorted angrily, and then grabbed his shirt with both hands and refused to get up, smirking and asking: "You write this little lady falsely, aren't you thinking about me in your heart?" My family's old home is in Langya country, and there is no eldest brother in the family! If it is easy to get along, you say that I will not have the courage to serve in the army on behalf of my father? Hmph, if I really have this kind of opportunity, Jiangdong may not have a place where Shen Weizhou is famous! ”

"Speaking of which, I want to thank the little lady for her grace."

Shen Zhezi slapped the little girl's buttocks with a palm, sat up while she was shy and evaded, spread the scroll on the desk, and said with a smile: "This story is more than just words. It is necessary to choose the servants to joke about each other, so that they can be regarded as having the original meaning of creation and writing. ”

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her eyes couldn't help but become brighter, and she leaned on the bookcase and looked at it again, and gradually realized this new style: "No wonder I read it too badly, it turned out to be for people to recite it separately!" ”

As she spoke, she slapped the bookcase, and then pointed to the little melon standing next to her, and shouted: "Command Er to hold the golden arrow and ride to the front of the army." Summoning me Tiger Benlang, break the formation and punish the traitors......"

When the little maid Gu'er saw the princess like this, her little face was a little dazed, and she didn't know how to respond: "The princess wants to ......"

"Don't call me a princess, I'm General Dangkou, Huaiyou's marching army to supervise and protect the flower arc!"

Princess Xingnan waved her hand, quite majestic, and then lowered her head and flipped through the scroll, found the source of the line and pushed it to Gua'er, signaling her to read it along.

Gua Er glanced down at the scroll, and said in a hesitant and timid tone: "The wind, wind and dust clouds are dim, and the rain covers the door." Bye beggar......"

"No, no, Gua'er, you are a pawn of my battalion, how can your words be so delicate! You have to recite it in a bold tone......"

Princess Xingnan is quite talented in acting, and the character's feelings are substituted very quickly, she coughed lightly twice, adjusted her tone a few times, and then picked out a tone that she felt more suitable, and said in a high tone: "Beggar General ...... me"

"Don't be embarrassed anymore, she is afraid to step on the road, how dare she beg so much in front of the lord."

Seeing that the little maid looked embarrassed, her small mouth opened a few times, and she couldn't make the princess's almost roaring begging sound, Shen Zhezi smiled and relieved her.

The princess was full of interest, but she was not persuaded so easily, so she pulled Shen Zhezi to sit opposite him, and the two read the words on the manuscript, enjoying it.

For this kind of interesting game, I like it from the bottom of my heart, and even I have no teacher, and it is not limited to two people playing roles, so that people will call the idle family members in the house at the moment, and everyone who has lines will arrange their own arrangements, but these people are not as quick as the princess to substitute for the role's skills, some cringe and forget the lines, and some although they read it, but they stumble, which is completely inconsistent with the character setting.

More family members joined in, and Shen Zhezi was able to take a break and enjoy his leisure, so he watched the princess happily teach these actors how to express their roles one by one.

This script of "Mulan" is probably the first work of its kind in this time and space, and to be honest, the writing is not very good, at best it is just the level of limerick. With Shen Zhezi's current literary name, he is ashamed to show people with this. However, the emergence of a novel art form always needs to go through a long period of development before it can reach a high aesthetic standard.

For example, Xie Lingyun, who shared the world's talents with Cao Zijian, his poems as a whole are at the second-rate level of the Tang Dynasty, but as the pioneer and founder of landscape poetry, his literary status is difficult for most successors to surpass.

The princess's messy rehearsal also made Shen Zhezi realize that his attempt was actually immature, and there were many things that needed to be improved. For example, the lines are more than five words, and the form is more rigid, and if it is accompanied by many Yuefu miscellaneous songs, it will inevitably be more chaotic and lack a unified tone.

However, the attempt of art form rarely succeeds overnight, and as an ornamental art, in addition to whether the form of expression itself is mature, it is also necessary to consider the acceptance of the audience. These need to be run in little by little, looking at the princess's happy appearance, Shen Zhezi doesn't have to pay too much attention to this, and let Princess Dexingnan figure it out by herself.

Although Princess Xingnan is not very interesting, her requirements for artistic expression are to keep improving, and she can no longer satisfy her with chanting alone, and even asked her family to take a few armor collected at home, and she wore the light armor used by Shen Zhezi in her early years, and pressed the sword in her hand, teaching her family majestically.

Looking at her serious and irritable posture, Shen Zhezi was really worried that this girl's temperament would come up, and whoever didn't play well would step forward and give her a knife. In short, a group of family members were distressed by the occasional curiosity of the princess, and even though it was already dark, a group of people were pulled into the flower hall again, holding the transcribed lines in their hands, and carefully matching the words.

In this noisy scene, Shen Zhezi found that Cui Ling, the little lady of the Cui family, was sitting in the corner of the flower hall with one hand on her cheek, looking depressed and unhappy, as if she was preoccupied. Shen Zhezi changed his mind slightly, and asked Gu'er to invite the little lady over.
