Chapter 19: I Want to See You
Wei Feng followed Song Jue behind, secretly distressed.
In any case, the prince's words were a little hurtful.
If they could, who wouldn't want to cry and laugh if they wanted to?
The two got into the carriage, one mile and one away, and Gu was speechless.
The carriage slowly drove towards the Song Mansion. In the distance, Wei Feng saw a familiar restaurant.
It's Sunrise Pavilion!
Wei Feng ignited hope in his heart, turned his head and opened the curtain of the carriage and said to the people inside: "Childe, there is the Sunrise Pavilion in front, shall we go in and have a look?" ”
Song Jue shook his head slightly.
Hope was disappointed, and Wei Feng lowered the curtain with an "oh".
Just as he was about to continue driving, he suddenly heard a crisp and excited female voice: "Miss, it's the carriage of the Song Mansion!" ”
Like withered grass in spring dew, Wei Feng looked up in surprise, and sure enough, it was Shuang'er's excited figure.
At this time, the petite and delicate Shuang'er is no longer an ordinary maid in Wei Feng's eyes, she is a comrade-in-arms! They are comrades-in-arms who have the same goal and fight side by side! It is a comrade-in-arms who saved himself from disappointment and depression!
Wei Feng reluctantly suppressed the urge in his heart to run over and give Shuang'er a big bear hug and then become brothers on the spot, turned around and opened the curtain and said, "Childe, we have been discovered!" Wouldn't it be rude not to get out of the car now! ”
Song Jue obediently got out of the carriage.
At this time, hearing Shuang'er's almost broken shout, Zhao Po also went out of the store. The breeze blew and blew the veil on Zhao Po's face. The embarrassment and helplessness on Zhao Po's delicate and beautiful face were exposed. But she still greeted the carriage with dedication: "Song Gongzi, what a coincidence." "Then bring the guests into the store.
The Sunrise Pavilion is no longer deserted, and there are crowds of diners in the hall, and many people are familiar with Song Jue.
Song Jue stepped forward to greet them one by one. After a while, the two of them walked to a secluded place at the back of the hall.
"Why is Miss Zhao wearing a veil today?"
"My face is so eye-catching, I'm afraid of gossip."
"What gossip?" Song Jue asked knowingly.
"Say I'm on my face." Zhao Po sighed lightly. Who can understand the distress of beautiful women? However, his shopkeeper is indeed not very glorious, and he has no confidence to refute it. When the Sunrise Pavilion has made achievements, it will be easier to reveal its original appearance.
"Miss Zhao has revived the Sunrise Pavilion to such a point in just half a month, and her natural ability is extremely outstanding. However, in the next place, it was useless for others to say anything about Miss Zhao before. ”
Song Gongzi laughed. I'm twenty-seven...... At the age of seventeen, the rumors are terrifying, and I still understand the truth that three people become tigers. Mainly now running the Sunrise Pavilion does not particularly need my beauty. If there is an opportunity in the future, the veil will still be lifted. With such a good-looking face, it's too wasteful not to show it to others. ”
Zhao Po said playfully, but this passage is actually true.
Song Jue was amused, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with lightness.
"Where did Song Gongzi come from?"
"The Prince's Mansion."
"Oh yes, I already sent Mei Ling over yesterday. The prince also gave me a list of the invitees of the fifteenth Yaji. I'll give it to you......" Zhao Po was about to turn around, suddenly remembered something, and said with some embarrassment: "I seem to have left the list at home." ”
"It's okay," Song Jue said slowly, "Just send it to my house tomorrow." I will send a carriage to pick up Miss Zhao to the house. ”
Wouldn't it be nice to just let that person take the list away? Zhao Po was suspicious. Do you need to go to the trouble yourself? However, Zhao Jin said before that he wanted to meet Song Jue, and this could be an opportunity.
"Okay. But my sister has been talking to me about Song Gongzi's heroic appearance, I wonder if I can take her to Gongzi's mansion tomorrow? ”
"Nature."
When Zhao Jin heard her sister say that she could go to the Song Mansion, she was first excited for a while, and then looked at Zhao Po with meaningful eyes.
Zhao Po was looked at by her straight hair: "What's wrong little sister?" ”
Zhao Jin laughed twice: "Sister, I feel that this Song Gongzi's attitude towards you is unusual." Bringing people into the Song Mansion, you actually mentioned it casually, and he agreed? ”
"Is there anything strange about his unusual attitude towards me?" Zhao Po said very shamelessly, "Don't you know that your sister and I look like a fairy?" Besides, I made a lot of money for him and the Sunrise Pavilion. In the future, I will earn more and more, isn't it normal for him to be closer to me? ”
Zhao Jin thought about it carefully, looked at Zhao Po's face again, and found that there was nothing to refute in this passage.
When Shuang'er heard Zhao Po's speech, she was anxious and disappointed.
The next morning.
A gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate of Zhao's house.
For this trip to the Song Mansion, Zhao Jin specially unloaded his military uniform and changed into a set of tooth-colored Luo skirts, with a goose yellow smoke gauze coat and a crystal hairpin on his head.
Don't look at Zhao Jin's usual grin, jumping up and down, like a tomboy, and dressing up seriously is also eye-catching.
After entering the Song Mansion, a little maid led the Zhao sisters to the study.
Zhao Jin leaned into Zhao Po's ear and said, "Sister, I think there seems to be a martial arts arena over there, and there are still people in it, can I go over and take a look?" ”
"I can't." Zhao Po said categorically, "How can anyone run around without the permission of the master when they go to someone else's house?" ”
"Okay." Zhao Jin pursed his lips in disappointment.
When he turned the corner to a verandah, Zhao Po saw Song Jue waiting not far away. Hurriedly walked a few steps forward and curtsied.
"Why is Song Gongzi waiting here?"
"I'm afraid that my subordinates will not be well entertained, so I specially came to pick up Miss Zhao and Sister Ling."
"There's Lao Gongzi." Zhao Po replied politely. "This is the sister, Zhao Jin."
"Miss Zhao."
"Song Gongzi."
After saluting politely, Zhao Jin couldn't control himself a little.
This Song Gongzi is really handsome, standing with his sister and looking good, what a match made in heaven.
"Song Gongzi, you and your sister are talking about business, and it is inconvenient for me to follow. When I came here just now, I seemed to see a martial arts arena, why don't I wait for you somewhere? ”
Song Jue nodded: "So you have wronged the girl." ”
Zhao Jin was pardoned, gave Zhao Po a bad smile, and ran into the distance with a jump.
Song Jue walked forward with Zhao Po.
Along the way, countless maids and guards next to them looked sideways, and some dared to whisper.
Zhao Po sighed helplessly.
It can't be helped, handsome men and beautiful women will always make people have special ideas.
When he arrived at the study, Zhao Po handed the list to Song Jue.
Song Jue took it, and while looking at it, he asked casually, "Miss Zhao, has you heard of the new military policy?" ”
"New Soldier Politics? I haven't heard of it. What is it for? ”
"It is the selection system that the cabinet is promoting in the hundred miles. The promotion of generals in the army is now almost entirely the responsibility of the local princes, which gives many people the opportunity to pursue personal gains. The lord of Baili Pavilion is dedicated to the country, and he is not used to such behavior. The new military policy is to set up military examinations in various places, and those with excellent grades will be admitted to the court as officials. ”
"In this way, the Lord of Baili Pavilion is really an honest and honest person. But why did Song Gongzi think of talking to me? ”
Song Jue smiled: "During this period of time, the lord of the Hundred Miles Pavilion in the court always talked about the new soldier politics, I heard a lot, and I couldn't help but start thinking about it." It was just a casual remark. But Miss Zhao is here today, I would like to ask, does Miss Zhao think that the new military government should also include women in the list of soldiers and generals? ”
Zhao Po lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "That depends on the other systems of the imperial court." ”
"What does that mean?"
Speaking of business, Zhao Po smiled and analyzed seriously: "The cost of a woman joining the army is much greater than that of a man. Take, for example, marriage. Even if a man returns to the field at the age of 30, he will not be able to marry a wife, but if he is a woman in his thirties, he is afraid that he will not be able to marry for the rest of his life.
And once the female army is captured, what will happen, presumably Song Gongzi can also guess. Therefore, when women join the army, the court needs to consider giving higher subsidies than men.
In addition, women are surrounded by a group of men, and it takes a lot of time and energy to manage to maintain the innocence of the female army. However, there is a natural disparity in strength between men and women, and it is less likely that a female army will defeat a male army of the same number in a head-to-head battle. Therefore, even if a woman joins the army, she is afraid that she will also do miscellaneous work or work as a military doctor.
If the female army consumes more financial resources than the male army and plays a smaller role than the male army, then it is not wise to rashly use the female army to the court and the people. But ......"
