Chapter 191: The Firmament
"How can you say that about your sister?" Li Qing looked at the somewhat angry girl with some shock, "For you, how much suffering she has endured and how much tiredness she has suffered, do you know?" Ji Yue, you have grown up, you should learn to understand her and think more about her, she is really bitter, not only physically bitter, but also bitter in heart. ”
Ji Yue wept silently, opened her mouth, and finally swallowed back the matter that Qingfeng wanted to force her to marry a promising general, she knew that as long as she opened her mouth, the handsome would definitely know who the person her sister was talking about, she didn't know if it would bring them trouble, although Ji Yue was young, she was not a little girl who didn't know anything.
The sad Ji Yue's tears fell on the table, and soon gathered into a cloud of water stains, Li Qing couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, and felt that some words were too heavy just now, Ji Yue must still be very small, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wanted to wipe his tears for Ji Yue, stretched out halfway, but stopped again, his handkerchief was already a little unable to distinguish the original color. Seeing the white and black spots on it, Li Qing couldn't help grinning, looking embarrassed. Shook the handkerchief at Jiyue, smiled awkwardly, and put it away again.
Seeing Li Qing's actions, Ji Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter, and a smile suddenly bloomed on a pear blossom with rain on her face, which made Li Qing's eyes light up.
Watching Ji Yue take out her handkerchief and gently wipe her tears, Li Qing asked: "Ji Yue, you have lived in Zhenxian for a long time, you must have feelings, and you left suddenly, you are indeed a little uncomfortable for a while, you are familiar with the people here, and in Dingzhou, you may not even be able to find a few people who speak, take your time, you will eventually go to Dingzhou to live, always stay here, but also cause trouble to the officials and people here." After all, your identity is here, I'm afraid you don't know, around you, I don't know how many people are quietly protecting you, by the way, Jiyue, after you come back from Dingzhou, what are you doing in Zhengxian, won't you make these shoes every day, right? ”
Ji Yue's little face instantly turned red, and her expression became a little uneasy, and she wrung her handkerchief with both hands, and whispered, "Dashuai, after I came back, I still taught those children to read and write every day, but only in my spare time... That's what I do. ”
Li Qing had a headache, from seeing those shoes embroidered with clouds and clothes, and then contacting Ji Yue to see some of his abnormal behaviors, he understood that the girl in front of him actually tied a wisp of affection to himself, which he never expected, all along, Ji Yue in his eyes, is a little girl, more often, in his mind the concept is Qingfeng's most favored, the most cherished sister, looking at the girl in front of him with tears on her face, but delicate like a porcelain doll, Suddenly, I felt that I had to think about it, and I had a sinful feeling.
"Ji Yue, well, that's the case, in the future, you don't want me to be handsome, it sounds weird, although I have no name with your sister, but in my heart, I still call myself your brother-in-law, you, you can call me brother-in-law, or big brother!" Li Qing made a detour, and made his thoughts clear more secretly, knowing that the smart girl in front of him should be able to understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Ji Yue's face instantly became a little pale, and she was slightly stunned for a while, but laughed again, "Okay, then I'll call you big brother in the future, okay?" ”
"Okay, okay!" Li Qing said happily, thinking that Ji Yue had already figured it out, "Ji Yue, what are your plans for the future?" Whatever you have in mind, I can make it happen. ”
Ji Yue tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and said leisurely: "Big brother, my wish is really very simple, I just hope that one day in the future, I can be with the person I like, when he has free time, I can be with him under the flowers among the trees, drink tea, speak, can have dinner with him, admire the moon together, can play the piano and dance for him, can let him wear the clothes, shoes and socks that I sewn for him, when he is busy with business and galloping on the battlefield, I can burn a pillar of incense for him, silently pray for him, and let him return victorious. When he returned tired, he could untie his bloody robe with his own hands. Of course, I also hope that he can love me, love me, cherish me, and miss me. I also want to have a bunch of dolls with him in the future, and we play with the children, read books together, watch them grow up, and let us grow old day by day. Big brother, do you think my wish will come true one day in the future? ”
Li Qing's head began to hurt again, Ji Yue's bright eyes stared straight at him, her face was a little flushed, her nose rose and fell nervously slightly, her hands grabbed the edge of the table tightly, and her body trembled, so that the table shook slightly.
Facing Ji Yue's bold, almost explicit confession, Li Qing didn't know how to answer, and stood up a little embarrassed: "Ji Yue, you are still young, you are still young, don't think about these things now, let's talk about it in a few years, and then talk about it in a few years." One turned and strode away as if fleeing.
"Big brother, I'm not young, I'm almost eighteen!" Ji Yue stood up and shouted loudly behind Li Qing, Li Qing ran faster. A brave woman is really more terrifying than the enemy, at least Li Qing thinks that no matter how fierce the enemy is, she will not let herself escape so quickly and feel so embarrassed.
This night, Li Qing had insomnia.
In the early morning, the snow that had fallen all night finally stopped, and it was rare for the sun to appear, looking at the thick snow, Shang Haibo said happily: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, Dashuai, such a heavy snow this year indicates that we will have another bumper harvest in Dingzhou next year!" ”
Li Qing was a little absent-minded, um-huh, but did not speak, and the group rode their horses and slowly left the general's mansion, at this time, a woman and a group of children suddenly sang from the side of the school, "Pu Jia Ming, white dew is not frosty." The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae. Tracing from it, the road is blocked and climbing, and the tracing is like being in the water. ”
Li Qing subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the school, Tang Hu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but immediately ushered in Li Qing's warning gaze, immediately closed his mouth, and said nothing, and Shang Haibo and Ji Yue were not familiar with each other, but did not pay attention to listen to these, but talked with Li Qing with great interest that heavy snow is a good sign for Dingzhou, but for the grassland, such heavy snow means a disaster, if there are a few such heavy snowfalls today, it would be better.
Everyone stepped on the snow to come to Ji Mingze, Ji Mingze after Dingzhou in the past two years of vigorous management, has completely become a large barracks, thousands of reserves here to be trained, to participate in Tuntian, more and more barren mountains are transformed into fertile fields, and the area of Ji Ming Lake is getting bigger and bigger, these days of cold wind let Ji Ming Ze quickly freeze, smooth as a mirror on the ice reflects the rare winter sunshine, shaking people squint their eyes.
A group of soldiers with bare arms, more than a dozen people worked together to carry the big logs down the mountain, beads of sweat on the strong muscles, although there was sunshine, but the weather was still very cold, but these people were steaming hot, looking at these muscles and muscles, looking like a powerful man, Li Qing said happily: "Okay, seeing these future soldiers, I am more confident in defeating the barbarians." ”
The soldiers of the preliminary service did not have armor, but wore the blue coarse cloth clothes of the Dingzhou soldiers, and the riding boots made of animal skins were pedaled on their feet, although the soldiers' big feet were extremely smelly, but they were better than light, but not easy to damage. In winter, apart from the work of cutting down trees, the reservists had nothing else to do, so they were left with simple military training, and countless teams of soldiers were shouting trumpets under the leadership of the fruit chief, or running along the roosters in neat four-way columns, or holding wooden spears and broadswords to practice basic skills, while the soldiers who had been trained for a little longer were practicing small groups and forming formations under the leadership of a higher officer. It's winter, but it's in full swing.
Shang Haibo looked at all this proudly, although the opening of the reserve training camp was Li Qing's attention, but Li Qing only paid attention to it, but he was single-handedly handling the specific work, and seeing that the training camp he had painstakingly operated was now rumored to be quite large-scale and had achieved initial results, he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Marshal, according to your meaning, we have also set up literacy classes in these soldiers' reserves, and invited Mr. to teach the soldiers to read and write, and they have to take literacy classes for two hours every day, and now many soldiers can write their own letters." Shanghai Wave Road.
"This is a good thing, Mr. Shang, it can be said that this is a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future!" Li Qingdao: "The more literate people in Dingzhou, the better, this is a major event to open up the wisdom of the people, literacy, in order to make our people more able to know honor and disgrace, the rise and fall of the Ming, in order to absorb new knowledge faster, learn new skills, in order to let them create more wealth for my Dingzhou, Mr. Shang, don't be afraid of the people getting smarter, don't be afraid of the ordinary people getting rich, hiding the wealth from the people, is the real way to strengthen the country and strengthen the army." Mr. Shang, in the future, we will build more schools, print more books, and make reading affordable for everyone, and no longer make reading and literacy a privilege. ”
Shang Haibo said with a smile: "The marshal is far-sighted, and where he is concerned, Haibo is far from it, so he can only attach his wing tail and implement the things assigned by the marshal one by one, Dashuai, I believe that in less than ten years, there will be no state in the dozens of major states in Dachu that can be compared with my Dingzhou."
Between the two of them looking at each other and laughing, the officers in charge of Ji Mingze's reserve training camp had already trotted all the way, and all the reserves were rapidly concentrating in the sound of horns, and soon, one by one, the cyan phalanx and the flesh-colored shirtless phalanx were assembled on Ji Mingze's extremely large school ground.
"Chen Xingyue, the chief instructor of the reserve training camp, led all the officers to greet the marshal! Handsome and mighty! A burly general gave Li Qing a military salute and said loudly.
"Mighty and mighty!" The officers behind him shouted in unison.
"Mighty and mighty!" The phalanxes behind shouted in unison, and the sound shook the clouds.
