Chapter 18 Yang Siqi joins the army
Cui Ling was the first girl to sign up for the women's barracks, and Yang Siqi was the last girl to sign up for the women's barracks. Yang Siqi is sixteen years old, beautiful as a flower, in love with a small boss under her father, and has reached the stage of talking about marriage, but Yang Yi hopes that Yang Siqi will marry Cui Meng, the second son of Cui Zhenhai who is twenty years old, and has always opposed Yang Siqi falling in love with his little boss, and Cui Meng has a soft spot for his cousin Yang Ziyan, and Yang Ziyan only loves heroes, and has been waiting for the appearance of a hero who can shoot down her sword, Cui Meng can't go twenty moves under Yang Ziyan's hands, and he doesn't dare to confess to his cousin who doesn't let her eyebrows go, has been silently in love with his cousin, practicing martial arts every day, only hoping that one day he can suddenly break through the martial arts barrier and improve his martial arts by leaps and bounds, so as to win the heart of his cousin who does not love red makeup and loves arms.
Cui Ling is seventeen years old, she is also as beautiful as a flower, and Yang Ziyan is not far behind, she also has a hero complex, she is a civil and military all-rounder, her eyes are above the top, and none of the young men in Heifengling and the surrounding areas can enter her eyes. Cui Ling's parents are anxious about her marriage. In ancient times, it was normal for a rich and capable man to have three wives and four concubines, and it would not attract criticism for sisters to serve a husband, and Tang Gaozong Li Zhi favored Wu Zetian and her sister Mrs. Han. Yang Ziyan's lover Xu Qing is excellent in all aspects, Cui Zhenhai is worried about his daughter's marriage, to the point of almost pathology, digging into the corner of his niece and letting his daughter be a third party. Cui Ling was fascinated by Xu Qing's demeanor and was impressed by Xu Qing's Wen Taowu, and couldn't withstand the persuasion of his parents in turn, so she agreed to sign up for the women's barracks and contact Xu Qing to see if she could arouse the spark of love. She doesn't force it, everything goes with the flow. In fact, when she took the initiative to approach Xu Qing, she was already forced, and she said that she didn't force it, but she was just deceiving herself, and she was embarrassed to admit that she robbed her cousin's sweetheart.
Yang Yi asked Yang Siqi to participate in the women's camp for two purposes, the first purpose was to let her cut off contact with the little boss she liked, and the second purpose was to let her break into Xu Qing's interior and spy on the news. Of course, Yang Yi never mentioned the first purpose to Yang Siqi, only the second purpose.
Yang Siqi understands her father's grudge with Xu Qing, and also understands her father's determination and will to not want the Yang family's foundation to fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames. But under Yang Yi's repeated persuasion, driven by many childhood playmates who signed up for the women's barracks, she wavered, holding on to spy on important information, and made great contributions, maybe her father would agree with her idea of falling in love with her crush, Yang Siqi's 313th sign up for the women's barracks, the quota for the women's barracks was full, Xu Qing saw that she looked like a flower, slim, and a stunning beautiful girl, only slightly inferior to Yang Ziyan, so he made an exception to recruit Yang Siqi into the army.
As soon as Xu Qing arrived at the office the next morning, a very beautiful sixteen-year-old girl had been waiting outside the door for a long time. ”
"Siqi, oh, Yang Siqi, right? Your cousin told me that you told her that you want to be a company commander, what kind of skills do you have to be a company commander? Xu Qing said casually.
"If Cui Ling can be a company commander, I can be a company commander." Yang Siqi said in an affirmative tone.
Xu Qing invited Yang Siqi into the office room, sat down at the desk, and then asked Yang Siqi to sit down, and said, "You can't compare with Cui Ling." ”
Yang Siqi pursed his lips and said, "Why?" Why do you think I'm inferior to Cui Ling? ”
Xu Qingdao: "Cui Ling is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, the Art of War, and is proficient in eighteen martial arts, and is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
Yang Siqi said ashamedly: "I've learned all of these, but I'm too playful to say I'm proficient." ”
Xu Qingdao: "Even if you are honest, it doesn't matter if you are not proficient, you are still young, as long as you spend time, you will be able to master it one day." The first level of character counts as you passing. In the second level, I ask you, why did you join the army? ”
Yang Siqi said: "I don't want to live an ordinary life, I also want to make contributions like a man." ”
Xu Qing asked: "Don't fool me, why didn't you come to join the army when I recruited female soldiers a few days ago, but came to join the army when I was full of female soldiers?" ”
Yang Siqi thought that Xu Qing saw through that she was here to be an undercover agent, so she was startled, and her heart was pounding.
Xu Qing pretended to be smart and said: "I guessed it, right?" Do you see that Cui Ling is about the same age as you and become an officer, and you are red-eyed? ”
Thankfully, Xu Qing relieved Yang Siqi from the siege, and Yang Siqi hurriedly replied to Xu Qing's words: "That's it, I just don't want to fall behind Cui Ling, so I came to join the army." ”
Xu Qing muttered: "The ambition is a little smaller, but girls can understand, it's good to have the strength to not admit defeat, and you can pass the second level." ”
After a pause, Xu Qing continued, "The third level, test your two intelligence questions. ”
"What is a puzzle?"
"It's just that I ask you questions, and you answer me, I don't think you're smart or not."
"Oh, that's right, then you ask."
"The first question, listen well, I'll just say it once, I won't repeat it. Why is it that a man is called a man, a tree is called a tree, a stone is called a stone, a cat is called a cat, a dog is called a dog, a pig is called a pig, an ox is called a cow, a horse is called a horse, and a sheep is called a sheep, but not a man is called a tree, a tree is called a stone, a stone is called a cat, a cat is called a dog, a dog is called a pig, a pig is called a cow, a cow is called a horse, a horse is called a sheep, and a sheep is called a man? ”
"This question is easy to answer, because the names are all set by people, just like people's names, Zhang San is called Zhang San, Li Si is called Li Si, if Zhang San is called Li Si, Li Si is called Zhang San, the person is still the same person, but it will confuse people."
Xu Qing was very surprised, this is a philosophical proposition, talking about the relationship between name and reality, the first from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", I can't imagine that Yang Siqi doesn't understand philosophy, and he can still answer correctly.
Then Xu Qing asked the second question, "There was a couple who took a five-year-old boy to rent a house, and they couldn't find a suitable house for a whole day, and they found a satisfactory house when it was almost dark, but the owner of the house was worried that a couple with a child to rent his house would make his house dirty and messy, and they didn't want to rent it, so they told the couple that his house was not rented to people with children." The couple left disappointed. But when the little boy said a word to the owner of the house, the owner of the house smiled and happily rented the house to the couple, and asked what the little boy had said to the owner of the house. ”
Yang Siqi thought for about three minutes and replied, "The little boy said that you rent the house to me, and I don't have any children." The little boy was so clever that the owner of the house liked it very much, and was so pleased that he rented the house to the couple. ”
This question tests the ability to break through inertial thinking and routines, which is a necessary quality for an excellent general.
Xu Qing was very satisfied with Yang Siqi's answer, and praised: "I really can't see it, you are not a vase!"
"Vase?" Yang Siqi didn't understand what Xu Qing said.
Xu Qing then realized that the vase was the words of later generations, and explained: "This is my hometown dialect, the appearance of the vase is good-looking, but the abdomen is empty, which is a metaphor for a girl or woman who looks beautiful, but has limited wisdom and no connotation, you are not a vase, I am praising you for having both appearance and connotation." ”
Yang Siqi said: "You won the prize, I just imagined myself as that little boy, what should I do if I encounter that situation." There are two sides to everything, and since the positive side does not work, then the only way to go is to go from the negative side. I can be an officer as a little girl, why can't he rent a house as a little boy? ”
Xu Qing was almost amazed, Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching" that people should have a pure heart, don't think about everything too complicated, do things simply, live simply, and sometimes you will gain endless fun. Her second intelligence question is to break through inertial thinking, but Yang Siqi didn't even think about inertial thinking, she simply put herself in her shoes and answered. Just like the five-year-old boy in the title, he certainly doesn't understand habitual thinking, but he doesn't want to be without a house to live in in the dark, so he can think of a way to get the owner of the house to rent the house to his parents.
Maybe this is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, sometimes being too smart, too scheming, will do bad things.
No matter what, Xu Qing admired Yang Siqi very much and didn't dare to despise her because she was young. Xu Qing went through the enlistment procedures for Yang Siqi at the regimental headquarters of the dart division regiment (actually the barracks), and then issued a letter of appointment, officially appointing Yang Siqi as the commander of the second company of the women's barracks, and the commander of the first company has been appointed, served by Cui Ling, this on the first day Cui Ling signed up for the women's barracks, his father Cui Zhenhai greeted Xu Qing and Yang Ziyan. The commander of the third company is temporarily vacant.
After that, Xu Qing accompanied Yang Siqi to report to the women's barracks, solemnly introduced Yang Siqi to all the female soldiers in the women's barracks, and read out the letter of appointment to Yang Siqi, and then announced an important news that a competition was held in the women's barracks to openly select the commander of the third company. This news made the female soldiers, who had no way out, but had skills, feel excited and cheered.
