"Chirp and chirp, Mulan is a household weaver. I didn't hear the sound of the machine, but I heard the woman sigh.

Ask the woman what she thinks, and ask the woman what she remembers. Women don't think about anything, and women don't remember. Last night, I saw the military post, the Khan ordered a large number of soldiers, and the military book was in twelve volumes, and the scrolls had the name of the master. Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother, and he is willing to be a saddle horse for the city, and from now on he will fight for his grandfather. ”

"Are you kidding?" the white-haired old man trembled with the scroll of paper in his hand, and looked at Di Renjie in front of him with a calm face.

"This is what the girl said herself, General Hua, and I hope you can understand. Di Renjie sighed: "Then the girl's intention is, General Hua, you are old, and the son is so young, if you go to the selection······ There's no chance of that. ”

"So what?" General Hua coughed violently, but he was not angry: "Our old Hua family doesn't need any chances! I only hope that my daughter will live well and marry a good family in the future! No······ It's not for her to participate in some battlefield selection······ Haven't I had enough of that hard life in my life?"

"Old General, the flower girl is for the breath of the old flower family, but I don't think so. Di Renjie thought for a while, and finally said: "But the old general, you also know the importance of the Great Wall, we all know the ability of the flower girl, she has a chance to succeed, it depends on whether her heart is enough." ”

"You also know that she went there in one breath, so how can you let a girl's family go to the distant Great Wall to fight against the demon seed?" General Hua waved his hand and said, "No······ The old flower family has nothing to prove, I ······ I don't agree, get her back!"

Di Renjie stretched out his hand to stop the little boy of the Hua family who wanted to go out, and touched his chin that had grown a little hair, and said: "Old General Hua, you can know that the old Hua family is now in decline and is looked down upon, and the flower girl is not all for you except to fight for the old Hua family? If the flower girl doesn't go, will you still participate at your age? If no one attends, wouldn't it be a protest?"

"What about resisting the decree?" General Hua was very angry and said: "Even if I was a general of the Tang Dynasty in my last life, I have been fighting for the country for decades, and I don't owe much to the Tang Dynasty." Also, how can there be any reason for the girl's family to go on the expedition?"

"That's what you don't know. Di Renjie smiled: "Do you remember the Liu family next door?" When General Hua heard this, he was puzzled: "You······ You mean Mulan's best friend······, Laneige? She's not going to go too, ······is she? But she also has an older brother. ”

"The elder brother is now the pillar of the family, and he can't say anything about joining the army. Di Renjie spread his hands and said: "However, the Jiao family next door sent out his only son, I know that the relationship between the three of you has always been good, and the three young people have also been partners since childhood." I believe that the three of them will also take care of each other, General Hua, you can rest assured. ”

"That'······ Lord Nadi······ Please take care of our Mulan······" General Hua still seems to be hesitating about something.

"General Hua, I'm not in charge of this part. Di Renjie said: "But I believe that everyone's examiners will treat everyone equally, with the skills of the flower girl, I really think the opportunity is not small." ”

"So······ There is one sentence, I still hope that Master Di can tell Mulan on his behalf. ”

"Since she participated, then the face of the old flower family is on her. We may lose face, but we must remember the spirit of the Lao Hua family when they joined the army! Behind us are tens of thousands of Li people, and what we have to do is to protect them, and we can only win and not lose!"

"Good. Di Mou······ Be brought. Di Renjie's eyes flashed, and he flashed out of the gate of the Hua family.

"The future of the Great Wall depends on yours at the moment. ”

"All the young talents from all over Datang, I believe you all know what you came to Chang'an for. "Qin Qiong, the general of the Governor Chang'an's military power, is gathering warriors recruited from all over the country who are willing to compete for the leadership of Chang'an. However, before the number is determined, in order to reduce a certain number, all the candidate fighters must first be interviewed and tested, and only those who pass the purpose of participation can officially enter the selection.

"Mulan, do you know how to answer the competition for a while?" Jiao Zhongqing was discussing the interview exam with Hua Mulan and Liu Lanzhi.

"What else can I do? Honestly. Hua Mulan shrugged her shoulders and played with the two short swords on her waist and said: "I'm just for the breath of our old flower family, as for whether I can really choose, I really don't care so much." ”

"That's not going to work. Jiao Zhongqing hurriedly said: "If you really say that, then there will be no drama, and you won't even be able to pass the interview." "If you don't pass, you won't pass, Zhong Qing, do you understand? My father said that going to the battlefield will cost you your life, and I don't really want to go to the frontier outside the fortress. How good it was to be honest at home with my brother. ”

"How can that be?" Jiao Zhongqing said: "Why did you come to participate in the selection together, if you don't go, then Laneige and I won't be interesting." Mulan, if you can't pass the interview, then there will be no chance of selection, how can you fight for the old flower family? The name of the old flower family back then, we who were close to us are naturally clear, but others are not clear, we don't like to hear others slander your old flower family, but we have to show some real skills. ”

As soon as the reputation of the old Hua family was mentioned, Hua Mulan finally calmed down and sighed: "Okay, Brother Zhongqing, I will keep in mind everything you say, and I will definitely pass this interview." ”

"Just relax, Mulan, don't listen to Zhongqing's nonsense. Liu Lanzhi tidied up her hair on the side and said, "Our Mulan is a legendary figure in the east of Chang'an City, how can we be stumped by this little interview?" Zhongqing, don't underestimate Mulan too much. ”

"It's not a matter of underestimating, we have to be insured. Jiao Zhongqing said: "If it is based on Mulan's answer just now, it will definitely be over." And you, Laneige, don't take this little interview to heart, have you figured out how to answer?"

"Isn't this simple?" Liu Lanzhi stroked her long hair, wrenched her fingers and said: "To guard the Great Wall, you naturally have to put the country and the people first, even if you sacrifice your own life, you have to defend the Great Wall." These words are rotten in my head, you know?"

"You······ You don't really think that, do you?" Jiao Zhongqing was dumbfounded and said, "Could it be that you really want to go to the border of the Great Wall?"

"How is that possible. Liu Lanzhi smiled and said, "Brother Zhongqing, don't you know us yet? Isn't our purpose all the prize money of one million taels? If I really go to the border of the Great Wall, I really can't stand it." And how many of the people who say these things really think so? I don't think it's tenth. Maybe there are some generals selected in the border areas, but those who grew up in Chang'an are impossible, even if they are the children of the generals. ”

"That's good. Jiao Zhongqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you really couldn't think about it." ”

Hua Mulan looked at the two of them, hesitating in her heart, she had already received the message sent to her by Di Renjie. My father's orders are the exact opposite of those of my friends in front of me, so should I obey my father's orders or go with my friends?

"It seems······ The two are not in conflict at this time. Thinking of this, Mulan smiled rarely.

"Let's go. Jiao Zhongqing patted Hua Mulan and Liu Lanzhi, signaling that the scheduled exam time was coming. The three of them grew up together since childhood, and they have no scruples about each other, and it is not surprising what kind of behavior they do.

"Hmm······ It's the daughter of the old flower family······" Qin Qiong looked at Mulan's simple information, then looked at Mulan's light robe, nodded and said:

"Very good, even if General Hua is old, he has his children to inherit his mantle. Not bad!"

"Ah······ yes······" Hua Mulan was a little strange, Qin Qiong didn't wonder about her gender, and immediately understood that the general in front of her must be a very powerful examiner, so she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, swallowed her saliva, and wanted to directly say what she was ready to do.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Qin Qiong hurriedly waved her hand to stop her and said, "Mulan, you are the daughter of General Hua, I believe that your thoughts should be the same as that of General Hua." So I don't think we need to waste too much time on this issue, and I want to ask you if you have any thoughts on women going to war. ”

"Female?" Mulan pointed to herself with some confusion and said, "We······ We go to war······ There should be nothing to question, right?"

"I'm certainly not trying to question it, I just want to hear what you think. Qin Qiong smiled: "We never discriminate against women, and there are also female generals on the battlefield." But to be honest, the number of female generals is still too rare after all, do you think there is any way to change this?"

"I think······ Can't it be changed, right?" Mulan thought about it, shook her head, and said, "This situation is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it can't be changed so easily?" if you want to change the situation······ It takes a heroine to create enough to inspire women, otherwise······ Even if the public has the idea of advocating women to fight, it is useless for women to have no awareness of participating in the war. ”

"That's good. Qin Qiong sighed and put her hands behind her back and paced around: "In fact, on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of female generals is not necessarily worse than that of ordinary male generals, and it is more that some capable women do not have the consciousness to participate in the war. ”

"Very good!" He suddenly clapped his hands and pointed at Mulan, "So······ The task of changing the status of the female general will be handed over to Mulan. Good, you passed. He stamped Mulan's file and sent her out.

Hua Mulan is still in a trance: "What, what did he ask me? How did I pass?" Looking at Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, who also came out quickly, she asked in disbelief: "Are all the questions the examiner asks you strange?"

"No, I don't. Liu Lanzhi said proudly: "Isn't it the question we prepared? It's very easy, just say no according to what we prepared? "yes. Jiao Zhongqing also said: "Mulan, I see that you have also passed, there should be nothing bad happening, right?"

"No······ Of course not. Hua Mulan thought about what Qin Qiong said to herself, and remembered what Di Renjie told her father, and suddenly felt that her shoulders were a lot heavier.
