"Don't worry!" Song Lingyue took a sip of tea and continued: "On this day, the emperor of the Song Kingdom received a military report, saying that there were thieves in the border city. When the emperor heard this, he couldn't sit still and ordered the thieves to be expelled from the country, but the army was not manpowered, so he had to order conscription, and every family should send a strong man to be incorporated into the army to resist foreign invasion.

The Mulan family also received an order, and the Hua family also sent a strong man to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the country.

Mulan's father once went to the battlefield, but he was able to return to the field due to injury, and his leg was disabled and he was not allowed to join the army.

Although the Hua family has a son, the son is still young and babbling, and he can't go to the battlefield, which is sad for the Hua family.

Mulan's father had no choice but to take over the military order by himself, determined to serve the country again. ”

"However, didn't my sister say that Mulan's father is not in good health and has a disability in his legs? How can you go to the battlefield like this! Song Yanzhi asked Song Lingyue with wide eyes.

"Don't worry, the story has just begun." Song Lingyue raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, "Hua Mulan is also worried that her father is not in good health and will not be able to go to the battlefield. So, she made a bold decision. ”

Song Lingyue is very good at grasping the rhythm of storytelling, Song Yanzhi and Xiangling were both attracted to her, and they asked her what decision Hua Mulan made.

Song Lingyue was telling the story vividly, and she didn't notice that behind her, the group of Xiucai who had been singing poems in Sanli Pavilion before also came to Heti, and unconsciously they had been attracted by her story and stopped composing poems.

Even the painting boat on the river no longer plays the piano and music, as if it is looking forward to Song Lingyue continuing to tell the story.

The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, her words were clear, and her tone was far away: "That Mulan has made up her mind, she wants to join the army for her father!" ”

"But, she's a girl, how can she join the army for her father?" Xiangling, who had been listening to the story silently, couldn't help but ask.

Song Lingyue ignored Xiangling's question, and just continued to tell the story:

Hua Mulan dressed herself as a man, bought a horse and a sword, took the roster of the Hua family and mixed it into the barracks, and changed her name to Hua Ping.

In this way, Hua Mulan, who changed her name to Hua Ping, successfully blended into the army, carefully hid her identity as a woman, and went to the battlefield with those soldiers to kill the enemy.

With her wit and intelligence, Mulan repeatedly broke the enemy's offensive, and successfully saved the general's life on the battlefield, won the general's trust, and regarded her as a confidant.

In the final battle, Mulan successfully defeated the enemy general, but she was also accidentally injured, and while healing, the general accidentally discovered the truth that she was a daughter. ”

"Ahh Xiangling nervously squeezed Song Yanzhi's little hand, "Then she, she'll be fine, right?" ”

"The prison army asked the general to execute Mulan according to the law, and the general did not kill her for the sake of saving her life, but left her alive and drove her out."

As soon as Song Lingyue's voice fell, Xiangling first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said indignantly:

"This general is really! Mulan obviously saved his life and defeated the enemy army, even if it was a woman? also plays the word hero! This general almost killed her just because she was a woman, isn't it too stingy? ”

After Mulan was driven away, she unexpectedly found that the enemy general, who thought she had died, went to the capital with the remnants of the army to assassinate the emperor.

Mulan was shocked and hurriedly went to inform the general. However, since her identity as a woman was exposed, the general has no trust in her, and no matter what Mulan says, he refuses to believe her. ”

"These people are so bad! Everyone has lived and died together, just because she is a woman now, don't you believe her? Song Yanzhi also picked up grievances for Mulan.

"That's right! Mulan marched and fought with them, did she not deserve to be believed just because she was a woman? This is too contemptuous of women! Xiangling puffed out her cheeks even more, looking puffed out.

"Don't be angry, the story isn't over yet." Song Lingyue poked Xiangling's cheek raiser and continued:

Later, Mulan found that no one would believe her, so she had to rescue the emperor herself. Just as the emperor was standing on the city gate and facing the people of the city and was about to celebrate, the generals of the enemy country suddenly appeared, took the emperor hostage, and asked the emperor to bow his head to him and beg for mercy.

Fortunately, Mulan arrived in time and found the general and partner who were locked outside the city gate, and the big guys understood that Mulan was wrong.

Hua Mulan thought of a clever plan to paralyze the guards by dressing up as a palace concubine, successfully infiltrated the imperial city, and saved the emperor at the hands of enemy generals.

The rescued emperor expressed his gratitude to Mulan, and the people of the city saluted this brave and fearless woman who had sacrificed her life and death, thanking her for eliminating war and bringing peace.

The emperor wanted to canonize Mulan as a general, but Mulan said that she just wanted to ride a thousand miles back to her hometown and reunite with her parents and family, and then she returned to her hometown with the token given by the emperor and reunited with her parents and family. ”

Song Lingyue cleared her throat and said that the story was over here.

Since the last time Xiangling said that she was said by those aunts that women are not as expensive as men, Song Lingyue has always had a thorn in her heart, although she talked a lot to Xiangling at that time, but she was afraid that Xiangling would not be able to pay attention to it if she knew a little.

Therefore, Song Lingyue wanted to tell the story of Mulan.

However, this story is not only intended to be told to Xiangling and Song Yanzhi, but also to herself.

After all, Song Lingyue is from modern times, it was a relatively fair era, and the education she received has always been born equal, and every life should be respected.

Song Lingyue was very afraid that if she couldn't go back to modern times, in this era when human life was divided into high and low, she would not be assimilated.

Maybe Song Lingyue can't change the status quo here, but she doesn't want to passively understand, accept, and adapt to this era.

As a modern person, isn't the only thing she can guarantee that she is different from the people here is the mind that has been immersed in modern society?

If she also accepts the inferiority of men and women, and she also accepts that there is a distinction between high and low life, then she is no different from the ancients.

Song Lingyue knew in her heart how difficult it would be to resist the surrounding environment on her own.

But no matter how hard it is, you always have to try, don't you?

"Ridiculous!" A cold drink came from the crowd.

Song Lingyue raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw that it was the group of young people dressed as scholars that Song Lingyue saw when they passed by Sanli Pavilion in the racecourse before.

At this time, it was a young man who spoke out, wearing a feather crown, his face was slightly dark, and his facial features were not handsome, but he was passable.

I saw that the man was staring at Song Lingyue at this time, with a layer of anger on his slightly dark face.

"I don't know what advice Childe has?" Song Lingyue's gaze also turned a lot colder.

"I said your story is ridiculous!" The black-faced boy saw that Song Lingyue was not afraid of him at all, and even dared to speak up, so he took a step forward, shaking his fan, and his tone was contemptuous.

"This woman is raised in the boudoir, and the door is not out of the second door, how can she go into battle to kill the enemy!" The black-faced boy shook his fan and sarcastically raised the corners of his lips.

"Moreover, the lord of a dignified country would bow and thank a mere woman, which is simply ridiculous!"

"This son, I'm just telling a story." Song Lingyue was too lazy to pay attention to the pedantic person in front of him.

"Stories shouldn't be made up!" The black-faced boy is still unrelenting, "It's a joke that this woman joins the army to fight and march for her father!" How can a woman join the army to fight, you are afraid that you will not even be able to hold a kitchen knife steadily! ”

As soon as the black-faced boy finished speaking, several young people behind him who were dressed very similarly to him also laughed.

"Oh, so Childe is very good at using kitchen knives?" Song Lingyue was not afraid and looked up at the man in front of her.

"Are you humiliating Wei?" The black-faced boy raised his eyebrows, "The gentleman is far away from cooking, do you understand?" Look at you, an ignorant village woman, you don't understand it. ”

With that, the black-faced boy turned around to leave.

Song Lingyue let out a sneer.

"You dare to laugh at me?" The black-faced boy turned around instantly and glared at Song Lingyue angrily.

Song Lingyue lowered her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked up with mockery: "Why don't you dare?" Childe is so ridiculous, all these years of sage books have been read in vain, right? The stomach is full of sour rancid smell. ”

"What did you say!" The black-faced boy raised his eyebrows.

"I just asked Childe if he can use a kitchen knife, and Childe replied, 'Gentleman is far away from cooking', can I understand that Childe doesn't know how to use a kitchen knife? Childe, you don't even know how to use a kitchen knife, so you probably won't go into battle to kill the enemy, right? ”

The black-faced boy tidied up his shirt and looked proud: "I'm a scholar, so naturally I focus on hard reading." If you can gain fame and become a courtier, although you can't go to the battlefield, you will also contribute to my Great Xia. ”

"Looking at the meaning of the childe, he must also be a person of insight who reads poetry and books, right?" Song Lingyue looked up at the black-faced boy, her face was hidden in the shadows cast by the peach branches, the black-faced boy couldn't see her eyebrows clearly, but she could see that there was no cringe on her face, and there was no half-shy look on her face.

The black-faced boy was a little angry, and secretly said that Song Lingyue didn't know what shyness was, and he dared to argue with him so reasonably, it was simply shameless.

However, his face still maintained the arrogance of a scholar, and he said coldly: "That's nature. ”

"I want to ask Childe, is it a woman who cooks more or a man cooks more in this world?" Song Lingyue took a sip from the teacup in her hand, and lowered her head without even looking at the black-faced boy.

The black-faced boy didn't understand the meaning of Song Lingyue's question for a while, and paused for a moment and said: "Women are women, laundry and cooking, naturally women cook more." ”

Song Lingyue asked again: "Dare to ask if you need to use a knife for cooking?" ”
