Ji Qingling couldn't believe it.

If it is said that the selection of the forbidden army must be "tall", it is normal, as for the "beautiful appearance", although it sounds a little inexplicable, it can be thought that the forbidden army in addition to patrolling the Beijing division on weekdays, but also to select outstanding people to rotate in the palace forbidden, or to patrol and travel from the Son of Heaven, this also represents the majesty of the heavenly family, and there are requirements for appearance, which can be understood to some extent.

It's just that "white-skinned", how do you really feel strange when you hear it!

She held back for a while, but she still couldn't help but say, "But you didn't bluff me? How can anyone who is in the army want to be 'white-skinned'? ”

Gu and Zhang burst out laughing.

The three of them sat around the table together, because Zhang Dingya was there, there was a one-person-wide vacancy between Gu Yanzhang and Ji Qingling, at this time he turned his head, and saw his own lady wrinkling a face, and he had to purse his mouth, making a suspicious expression, not to mention the white complexion on his face, his cheeks were faintly pink, and his eyebrows were frowned, as if he was very entangled, it was really sweet and beautiful, so that he couldn't help but want to kiss him while looking at it.

When he arrived, he only felt that this brother lived here, and everything was good, but only one was bad, which made him want to be more intimate with this one in the family, and he was still timid, which was really hateful!

Gu Yanzhang and Ji Qingling have been friends for a long time, in the past, he always thought that the lovers were heart-to-heart, and they were the most beautiful in the world, when the two of them were together, the sky was bluer, the wind was also more drunk, and even the birds and insects were singing, which sounded very pleasant, even if he was talking to his lover next to each other and saying some private words, it made him very satisfied.

But just a little more than a month ago, the two became a real husband and wife, he knew the difference between the past and the present, where was the most beautiful in the world, compared with the two, the front is simply the water of the spring, although the entrance is moist and quenches thirst, back to the spleen, but in the end it is also water, the latter is like the agar wine in the Renhe restaurant, strong, mellow, long, as long as a sip, it will make people unforgettable.

The physical and mental harmony with the beloved cannot be fully interpreted in one sentence.

He is the newlywed Yan'er at the moment, full of excitement, the same one in the family is like glue, when he was in Yongzhou, he failed to ask Ji Qingling to familiarize himself with himself from the inside out, and he didn't try his best to try where his own ability is, he is very regretful, because Li Bojian begged for him, he was driven back to the capital in advance, even if he walked slowly along the way, but in the end, everything was inconvenient.

It was easy to return to Beijing, and when I arrived at Jinliangqiao Street, I was about to take advantage of the fact that I didn't have to go to the court, so I grabbed the gap day and night, and explored the wonder of life and the mystery of learning with Ji Qingling.

Military affairs are naturally the first, and he has nothing to complain about, but he can't be with his wife during the day, and he has to be free at night?

This Zhang Dingya is here again!

When I think about him on weekdays, I don't see him, but when he is not embarrassed or embarrassed, he jumps out, and he doesn't know how to pick a day!

Thinking of this period of time, I have to discuss with Zhang Dingya every night, and I will not have another chance to be close to my own lady, not only at night, but also in the daytime.

Gu Yanzhang moved the chair without a trace, got closer to Ji Qingling, stretched out his left hand from under the table, gently pulled the hand that I don't know if it was the left or the right, and held the soft hand in his hand, in the end, he was a little proud, and his face couldn't help but smile.

Where did Zhang Dingya know that there was such a movement under the table, he watched Gu Yanzhang get up and move the chair, he didn't think about it at all, he only smiled and said to Ji Qingling: "Although it is a bit bluffing, it is not all wrong, and now everyone in the forbidden army has to marry a woman with white skin and height, just to have an heir in the future, inherit his own military status, and be tall and handsome, so as to be selected as a general." ”

Ji Qingling's right hand was suddenly buckled, and when he turned his head, he was bumping into Gu Yanzhang and looking at him sideways, with a smile in his eyes, and his left hand gently pinched his palm.

She turned around, Brother Zhang was talking endlessly, holding the teacup in one hand, the lid had been open for a long time, and he didn't bother to take a sip, just wiped the sweat on his head while seriously explaining the situation of the forbidden army to his family.

Turning his head again, the fifth brother had already turned his head, and did not look at himself, but at Zhang Dingya, and intervened with him seriously, as if the one holding his hand was his third hand, and he couldn't find the slightest fault with it.

All of a sudden, Ji Qingling actually had a feeling that he was doing something sneaky with his fifth brother in private, and the faster his heart was beating, and even his face turned slightly red.

Zhang Dingya noticed it this time, and asked with concern: "Sister Ji, why is your face a little red, is it hot?" ”

As he spoke, he touched the big teapot on the table - it was really hot.

He said: "Although it is said that it is used to relieve fever, but it is too hot this day, do you drink sour plum soup?" Would you like to ask them to bring you sour plum soup? ”

He turned his head again and asked, "Yanzhang, let's drink sour plum soup together?" Although this one is called a cool drink, it is hot, and I dare not drink it in a sip! ”

Ji Qingling slapped Gu Yanzhang's left hand under the table, turned his head and glanced at him secretly, if it wasn't for the fear that the movement would be too big, he would have wanted to kick him a few times, but when he turned around, he replied to Zhang Dingya: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, you take a rest first, I asked someone to bring the fresh fruit soaked in the well water, I think it's almost there, but it's better to eat some fruit than to eat sour plum soup, the old people all said that it is a big harvest, you have been in Guangnan for so long, the dampness is very poisonous, and the heat is already in your heart, it is better to use hot tea to force the evil heat out, It's best not to use more of this kind of cold thing. ”

He also said: "Although you and the fifth brother are in good health now, who knows if Chen Jiedu was like this back then, and when he returns home, he should be careful." ”

Sure enough, Qiu Yue was busy urging the fruit.

For a while, the kitchen was able to send up, and there was a full table, not like ordinary people with small plates, but this place was a small bamboo basket one after another, in which there were round and fat water papayas, red, purple, purple, green and green agate Huima grapes, long branches of longan, and there were yellow and clear summer oranges that were cut into pieces, and all the fruits were bubbling with water droplets, but they had been pouring for a long time, and they had just been brought out of the well.

There is also a large pot of mung bean and lily tangerine peel soup, with the lid ajar ajar, revealing the fragrance of tangerine peel and mung beans.

Zhang Dingya drank a big bowl of mung bean soup first, and the whole person was relieved, and then reached out to take the fruit to eat, the papaya is sweet, the grapes are sweet and sour, and the longan is so sweet that the upper and lower lips are sticky in one place, as for the rest of the fruit, it is even fresher and delicious.

He leaned back in his chair, and now the heat went down, and at last he noticed the coolness coming from behind the screen, and when he turned around, he could faintly see a large piece of ice behind him—but he had not felt it even when it was hot.

Zhang Dingya pinched the grapes in one hand, and held the bowl of mung bean soup that was filled with mung bean soup in the other, and the window behind the screen was open.

He couldn't help but compare with the past when he returned to the post station before the battle, only Zhang Wu took the cool well water to greet, and he didn't know how to make a bowl of hot tea in advance in winter, this comparison, the more he felt that this sister was amiable and cute, this brother surrendered, and then he gave birth to the plan to live here until he was old, and sighed: "I really don't want to go back to Guangnan, or this place at home is a good ......"

Gu Yanzhang was in a very complicated mood when he heard this.

He also thought that this brother was good, and wanted him to live in the house together, but he ......

Gu Yanzhang was still thinking about it, and he had already heard Ji Qingling say: "Yesterday, the fifth brother also told me that Brother Zhang's expenses are very inappropriate, and you will only put some spare money in your hands when you are in Beijing in the future, don't spend it indiscriminately, if you have anything to use, you will report the name of your family, and go back to the account room to meet the account - this time after the Jiaozhi, if you can return to Beijing, the fifth brother has never been released, it is a long time to live in one place, only in the future to live for a long time, you will know that you are not free enough, many places have to be managed, don't be eager to move out early!" ”

All three laughed at one point.

After Gu Yanzhang smiled, he had already made up his mind silently in his heart, this brother was older than himself, he was not young, the rank of military attache was easy to rise, and he made meritorious contributions all the way, and this morning he was a positive sixth product, no matter where he got it, he could put it on the table, and he was about to find a suitable wife early, so that he liked it very much, and the two of them were tired of being in one place every day, and it was best not to go out of the door, so that his family could not live up to this brother.

How did Ji Qingling know that the people beside her were whimsical in their minds, she recalled Fang Cai's words, and asked again: "The selection of the forbidden army is so strict, and it is also practiced every day, why is it so ineffective?" ”

Zhang Dingya said: "Although it is a daily exercise, but the drill is also divided into many parts, like the rest of the local army, such as the counterinsurgency army, winter practice Sanjiu, summer practice, practice archery, confrontation, wooden sticks, knives and guns, etc., and even roll on the ground, how to kick people with their feet must be practiced - this is the future battle can be used to save lives, but this Beijing division forbidden army drills, but for the sake of acting twice a year......"

Ji Qingling suddenly thought about it and said: "It seems that there is a water battle between the forbidden army and the Tiger Wing Army at the turn of spring and summer, and the Dragon Boat Festival is also racing dragon boats in Jinshui Pool......

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered a thing in her heart, in fact, it was hanging, but because it was too far away, it had been shadowy for the past few days, so that she couldn't think about it.

It seems to have read a book in the past, which recorded that when the Great Jin Kingdom was destroyed, although the forbidden army was 100,000 huge, it looked very neat and tidy, and the people were tall and big, but when the Beijing division was surrounded, it was "although the guards and officers and soldiers of the squad were arranged like a weave, and none of them were mortal enemies, so they all went down to the city and fled."

Even when they were forced to the end of the mountain, they were sent to other places as reinforcements, "most of them did not have to work hard, and it was not their forte to destroy the front", and compared with these carefully selected forbidden troops, the soldiers who were urgently recruited in the local area and were only roughly trained were "brave and good at fighting, although they did not wait".

Sure enough, Zhang Dingya had already said: "The salary of the Beijing Forbidden Army is three times that of the Xiang Army every year, and the first thing in the selection is to have a good appearance, a tall body, and all of them can be placed on the table, standing in one place, there is almost no difference in size, only a flat and neat row, which is majestic and full of momentum." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "It is precisely because of the annual exercise, not only Your Majesty has to come to judge in person, from which to select those with high martial arts and outstanding colors to serve as generals, the people of the capital will also regard it as a grand event, everyone will come to see, in this way, the selection and promotion in the forbidden army all depend on the exercise, and everyone must put their strength on how to fight well, not only to fight well, but also to look good, so as to leave an impression on the Son of Heaven and the people." ”

The promotion of the Xiang army depends on military merits, and the promotion of the forbidden army depends on the exercises, so naturally, the Xiang army is more and more able to fight, and the forbidden army is more and more capable of exercises.

You must know that fighting a war has never been a good sight, no matter who it is, if you think about fighting well on the battlefield, you will die a long time ago!

Gu Yanzhang also added, saying: "The disadvantages of the Beijing Forbidden Army have a long history, I heard Chen Jiedu say in Yongzhou a few years ago, Huang Da also secretly went to the fold before visiting the prime minister, saying, 'The guards stay in the dormitory, do not hold themselves up, but let others serve them; Forbid the soldiers to give food, do not pay for themselves, hire people to pay for it', so lazy, you will know what kind of atmosphere it is. ”

Ji Qingling was speechless.

When he entered the palace on duty, he actually wanted to ask someone to help him cover his back to the palace gate, and he acted like this, where did he look like a person in the army, but it was the style of the eldest young master.

Dare to love this is not a soldier, but a soldier!

She thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Since Huang Dashen has been on the fold in the past, the forbidden army should be rectified?" Why is this still the case? ”

Before she could speak, she immediately knew that something was wrong, and quickly shook her head and sighed, "I said something stupid." ”

At this time, the forbidden army was close to 200,000, such a huge number, and it was not a simple word "rectification" that could be implemented. Listening to such a description, it has already accumulated deep shortcomings, and it can't be said that it is a habit that has been passed down from several generations, not to mention Huang Zhaoliang, even with Yang Kui's former prestige, he personally presided over it, and it can't be reversed.

At this time, whether it is a drastic move or a slow plan, it will not be useful.

In the past, as long as you can live a day as long as you eat, drink and have fun, now you have to get up every day to do training, and the money you get is still average, how can you not make people jump?

It must be known that no part of the world is as important as the capital, and any kind of people in the world are no more scary than the rebellion of the soldiers.

If you dig it out, you will lose it, but if you ignore it and let it go inside, you won't be able to live for a while, and it will grow bigger and bigger, and it will take up all the belly, and its life will generally be gone.

Either die early or die late, it's all death, so how can people get this hand?

At this time, the Jingshi Forbidden Army is like that cancer, although it may not be so terrible, life and death at every turn, but in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it must be very tricky, making him embarrassed.
