There is a Song generation, emphasizing literature over martial arts, and with Di Qing's merits, he was still humiliated by a singer in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When scholars face soldiers, they all have an inexplicable sense of superiority. And because the generals are often discriminated against by scholars, they also have a rebellious mentality. They often wield swords and swords in front of the scholars, deliberately showing their recklessness, and frightened the scholars into turning dirty before they gave up.

Therefore, although the culture of the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, the literacy rate was no less high than that of the Republic of China, which attached great importance to education. But hundreds of thousands of generals are illiterate. As long as there is a little way, the reader will not throw a pen. Although there are also scholars in the army, most of them are supervising the army, and they can't wield knives and guns, which is insulting.

People of insight have long pointed out the disadvantages of emphasizing literature over military force, but they do not understand that this is the way of the Zhao and Song official families to control civil and military affairs. So often good intentions do bad things. Fan Zhongyan admired Di Qing and persuaded Di Qing to learn from him and become a general with both civil and military skills, but he didn't know that he did bad things with good intentions, causing Di Qing to die of fear in the suspicion of the imperial court. Fan Zhongyan is a gentleman, and he doesn't know how to figure out the psychology of the emperor at all. The official family of the Zhao and Song dynasties did not taboo literati or martial artists, but they tabooed people who were both civil and military.

Li Qingzhao heard Yue Fei say that there were people from the Protector Army outside the inn, and thought that it might be the staff of the Protector Army, and there would not be a few people. So he smiled and said to Yue Fei, "Since they are all scholars, let them in." ”

As a result, Yue Fei just shouted outside the inn, "Everyone Li, please come in and speak." With a bang, hundreds of people poured in, directly filling the courtyard of the inn, so that the guests of the inn stood at the window, or opened the door to watch, thinking that something was going to happen to the inn.

Li Qingzhao was a little surprised. She has been famous since she was a child, and for half her life, she has participated in many poetry clubs, and this kind of scene of hundreds of people is not uncommon. She's seen even crazier scenes than this. She was amazed that there were so many people reading in the Protectorate.

Li Qingzhao did not know that there were more than 10,000 people in the people's army, and the literacy rate had reached one-third, of which there were more than 300 Xiucai and more than 40 people. The people who came to the Niujia Inn today are the best in the Protector Army, or they have excellent training results, or they have outstanding results in leading the team.

The maidservant Xiaoqing was taken aback, and saw that although the hundreds of people who poured in looked like scholars, they were all wearing armor and their faces were tanned, and they were a little rude, thinking that they had encountered rebellious soldiers.

After hundreds of strange-looking scholars came in, they immediately lined up in three rows, looking at Yue Fei, Li Qingzhao and the others without saying a word, their eyes full of enthusiasm.

Li Qingzhao said in disbelief, "I didn't expect there to be so many scholars in the Protector Army. Yue Tuan practiced envoys, and it was okay for scholars to recite poems and write poems, but was it okay to fight? ”

If it had been placed in the past, Li Qingzhao would never have said such a thing. But this Chuzhou Rebellion made Li Qingzhao deeply see the cowardice and helplessness of the literati in the face of troubled times. That's why I asked such a thing in front of hundreds of scholars.

Yue Fei pointed to the scholars in the strict queue with his finger and said firmly, "Yue has always believed that those who are both civil and military must have a great future. On the horse can fight the crazy beard, and the next horse can be cursive military script. An army with a high literacy rate must be more effective than an army composed of illiterates. These scholars are the soul of our Protector Army. ”

Yue Fei's words made hundreds of people excited to hear them. They all stood up straighter.

Li Qingzhao said with emotion, "Before the Jingkang Rebellion, I thought that poetry was everything in the world. After the Jingkang Rebellion, I realized that poetry and writing were worthless, and swords and guns were everything in the world. Now it seems, I was wrong. Jingkang was wrong before, and Jingkang is still wrong after that. The way of civil and military affairs is indispensable. ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Sister is right. I am a great Song Dynasty Yanwu Xiuwen, and my literary talent is the best in the world, but the golden dog from the north doesn't know what poetry. But we don't have to be arrogant, seeing that the golden dogs are strong, we think that culture is useless, and we practice on the ground, but learn the barbarism of the golden dogs. In that case, even if the golden dog is driven away, my Da Song will no longer be Da Song. What we should do is to use the sword in our hands to protect our poetry, books, rituals, and music. Whether it's the golden dog, or any other barbarian, don't try to destroy our home. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded solemnly, and turned sideways to give Yue Fei a blessing. Yue Tuanlian made this statement thorough. Then he turned his face to the third platoon of the Protectors and said, "Colleagues, I, Li Qingzhao, am a literati, and I can only rely on the swords in your hands to protect me. Not only me, but also your wives and children need the sword in your hand to protect them. Yue Tuanlian said well, getting on the horse to attack the crazy Hu, and getting off the horse to write the army is the goal you should pursue. I don't know military strategy, so I don't dare to lecture you. I listened to your Protector songs on the way, and I just want to give you a little poem now. ”

When Li Qingzhao said this, he groaned, "Life should be a hero, and death should be a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. ”

"Good poetry!" Yue Fei praised loudly, "This poem should be the motto of the world's soldiers." Let them understand that the duty of a soldier is to protect their homeland, not to flee from the wind. ”

After hearing this poem, the hundreds of people who poured in were even more enthusiastic. Li Xiao'e looked at Li Qingzhao, her eyes were full of admiration. She whispered to Li Qingzhao, "Sister is amazing. ”

Hundreds of people came to the Niu Inn, and left the Niu Inn. Although they didn't have the opportunity to present their poems, they begged Yi'an to correct them. But Li Qingzhao's poem made them excited.

As a man, he was born in troubled times, and he was regarded as Xiang Yu's shipwreck, and he must not learn from Liu Bang, abandon his wife and children, and escape only for himself.

The Protector Army left the Niu Inn, and Li Qingzhao also left the Niu Family Inn at the request of Li Xiao'e and lived in Li Bashao's Mansion, preparing to serve as a witness when Yue Fei was hired tomorrow.

It's just that when they left the Niu Inn, an interesting thing happened. Boss Niu suddenly made a strange move, he actually wanted to give his little daughter to Li Qingzhao as a girl.

Li Bashao smiled and asked, "Old Niu, you are also a rich man now, why do you want to do this?" ”

Boss Niu scratched his head and said a little embarrassed, "Nizi is almost fourteen years old this year, and she is about to find her mother-in-law." I want her to learn some etiquette from this nobleman, so that she can marry an official in the future. ”

Li Bashao laughed when he heard it. He knows Boss Niu too well. It's good for everything, but I'm a little timid, and I'm still an official fan. Because his youngest daughter is beautiful, he always wants to find an official to be his son-in-law. I was afraid that I would not be able to teach my daughter who was well-read and courteous, so two years ago, I wanted to give my daughter to Li Xiao'e as a girl.

After all, the maidservants of the Song Dynasty were different from those of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and being a maid did not mean selling themselves into slavery. On the contrary, they are a bit like child laborers, serving the young lady for three years, and then they are free to go home. You can also get a sum of money from the Lord's family when you return home. If she is favored by the master's family and accepted as a concubine, she will serve for a maximum of 12 years, and she will still be released from the house. Otherwise, the main family can only straighten her up.

So at that time, many small families were willing to send their daughters to big families to be girls, not only to save a mouth to eat, but also to earn some wages, more importantly, to learn the etiquette of large families in large families, and to find a good husband to marry after coming out.

That's exactly what Boss Niu thinks. It's just that Li Xiao'e rejected his kindness two years ago. At this moment, he looked at Li Qingzhao with blank eyes, for fear that Li Qingzhao would also refuse his long-cherished wish to send his daughter as a girl.

It's a pity that Li Qingzhao still refused without hesitation. I still don't know where to go, where is the mood to receive a girl. When leaving, the maidservant Xiaoqing deliberately muttered in a low voice, "I can't even pour a glass of water, how can I serve my wife?" ”

On July 29, the second year of Jingkang, under the joint witness of the prefect Huang Zong and the great poet Li Qingzhao, Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e were officially married. Ji Qian and Hua Ruyu are officially married. Xu Qing and Hua Xiaoqi are married together.

In fact, the marriage ceremony was not grand, but in the eyes of later generations, this was an extremely grand marriage scene. Because the people present are all famous figures in later generations.

On the third day after Yue Fei's marriage, Li Qingzhao felt that he was going back to Jinan. If you live in Yingtian again, you may not want to leave.

Here is her good sister Zhang Ruolan, Li Xiao'e, who treats her as her own sister, who is gentle and polite, Hua Xiaoqi, who is smart and clever, and Hua Ruyu, a fierce girl who does not let her eyebrows. In the past few days, Hua Ruyu has always lived in Li's mansion, begging Li Qingzhao to teach her to write poetry. said that he wanted to impress Ji Qian, a reckless man who couldn't even write his own name. As a result, there were a lot of jokes. In the past few days, not only did he not learn to write poems, but he pinched hundreds of brushes carefully made by Li Xiao'e.

Laughing all day long, Li Qingzhao felt that he had become a few years younger, as if he had returned to the carefree Bianliang period. But no matter how good Ying Tian is, it's not her home.

Li Xiao'e and others repeatedly persuaded Li Qingzhao to stay in Yingtian. Hua Ruyu even let out a bold statement, "As long as Sister Qingzhao stays here, I, Hua Ruyu, will definitely learn to write poems." ”

Seeing that Li Qingzhao had made up her mind, Li Xiao'e had no choice but to invite Li Bashao and Yue Fei. Yue Fei heard that Li Qingzhao was going back to Jinan, came to the Li Mansion, and said directly to Li Qingzhao, "Sister, Jinan must not go back." At present, the roads are not quiet, and there are rebels everywhere. Even if I send the Protector Army to send my sister back to Jinan, it won't work. It's August now, and the Golden Dog army is about to move south. According to the movements of the Golden Dog Army, Huang Zong, Li Lao and I speculated again and again, judging that they might be divided into three routes. The Eastern Route Army will definitely go straight to Jinan. If my sister returns to her hometown at this moment, it is tantamount to feeding a tiger with her body. ”

Li Bashao nodded heavily, indicating that he agreed with Yue Fei's speculation. "Qingzhao must not put himself in danger. You must know that the Jurchen army is all jackals. ”

Li Qingzhao said with a little disbelief, "Lord Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan, is also a capable minister, and there is a fierce general Guan Sheng under him, so he shouldn't be able to hold Jinan, right?" ”

Yue Fei said with great certainty, "I can't hold it." Absolutely untenable. Meng Laoying once went to Jinan, and he said that Liu Yu was greedy and violent in nature, and he was quite incompatible with Guan Sheng. My sister is familiar with history, but she knows that the enemy is current, and there will be those who are not in harmony, and there are no invincibles? My sister listened to my words, and lived in Yingtianfu for the time being, and when my people's army was strong, I would send my sister back to her hometown. ”

Li Qingzhao was finally convinced. Decided to live in Yingtianfu temporarily. But I don't want to live in the Li Mansion anymore. Although Li Bashao, Li Xiao'e and the subordinates of the Li Mansion all respect her as their own young lady, even the maidservant Xiaoqing has a special person to serve her for a while. But Li Qingzhao always felt ashamed of it, so he decided to be self-reliant. So he and his maidservant Xiaoqing rented a house near Li's house. Li Xiao'e understood Li Qingzhao's thoughts. and no more.

But after Li Qingzhao settled down, he suddenly found that he didn't have much silver on his body. She left in a hurry, and she didn't bring much silver taels. Now there is nothing around me except for a few large boxes of precious gold and stone calligraphy and paintings. And these gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, Li Qingzhao will never sell them.

When Li Qingzhao was distressed, he suddenly thought of Boss Niu's youngest daughter's eyes eager to learn etiquette. Immediately, he had an idea, went to the Li Mansion to find Li Xiao'e, and then called Zhang Ruolan and Xiaoqihua Ruyu together and told him his plan.

Li Qingzhao's idea was to open a girls' school in Yingtian. Only female disciples are accepted, and then they are taught life etiquette in the school. In fact, this kind of female education has appeared in the time of Renzong, but only the daughters of big families or high-ranking officials are eligible to go to school. And Li Qingzhao plans to lower the threshold, as long as he is willing to learn etiquette, whether it is a girl from a small family or a girl from a merchant craftsman's family, she can enter the school.

Of course, everyone applauded in favor of Li Qingzhao's plan. Li Xiao'e said excitedly, "Sister, I also want to enter a women's school." Tuition is yours to ask for. ”

Li Qingzhao said with a smile, "Of course, my sister wants to enter a women's school, but she is not a student. It's a female gentleman. My sister has etiquette in her behavior, who can be your teacher? ”

Several people discussed it and decided to open a women's school in the Chu family's compound that was raided more than a month ago. In the process of opening a women's school, Hua Xiaoqi was the most enthusiastic. After being busy, almost half of the effort was made. It turned out that Hua Xiaoqi was from a humble background, and now she is married to Xu Qing, for fear that she will not be able to be the head of the family after she passes the door, so she is so enthusiastic about female studies. In fact, Hua Xiaoqi is unfounded, and Xu Qing is only the son of a blacksmith, where would he care about these etiquette.

In the second year of Jingkang, on August 8, Yingtian Women's School officially opened. Li Qingzhao appointed himself as the chief of the mountain. Zhang Ruolan, Li Xiao'e, and Hua Xiaoqi served as chairs. Hua Ruyu served as a temporary chair. On the opening day of the girls' school, the whole city was a sensation. The owner of the Niu Family Inn was the first to register for his little daughter.

Yue Fei, Huang Zong, Li Bashao and others all praised women's studies. Only Ji Qian heard that Hua Ruyu was also hired as a temporary chair, so she asked Hua Ruyu a little strangely, "Xiao Qi can at least teach others embroidery when he is a professor." What can you teach as a chair? ”

Hua Ruyu's eyes widened, "Of course I taught them knives, guns and sticks." Sister Qingzhao said that women should also practice some martial arts, and they can't be weak. It's better to be as powerful as me, so that you won't be bullied by men. ”

"What?" Ji Qian shouted, "I'm going to mourn for the men of Ying Tianfu." Ouch, don't fight, you want to murder your husband. ”
