Chapter 367 Who said women are inferior to men
Tu Jiaojiao stared blankly at the father and daughter sitting on a high platform in the middle of the tavern.
The father played the erhu and the daughter played the clapper. The two sang together and were interpreting a story.
Unknowingly, she burst into tears upon hearing this.
Her parents and family were killed by Yuan Renxi, and she survived alone. In the story, the weak and helpless little girl cut off her long hair, put on armor, and joined the battlefield. In order to take revenge, she moved forward step by step. OK.
Tu Jiaojiao thought of herself.
My parents and family also died at the hands of Yuan Ren. Unfortunately, I don’t have that girl behind me, and I am helpless. In addition to gnashing my teeth in hatred and feeling sad in the dead of night, It turned out to be powerless.
"Jiaojiao!" Ding Ergou, who was sitting opposite her, reached out and held his wife's cold little hand. "As for me, I will kill Yuan Gou for you. In the past few years, I have killed many Yuan Gou. Now that my martial arts cultivation has greatly improved, I will soon be a captain. I can lead more soldiers and horses to fight for you. Kill more yuan dogs!"
Withdrawing her little hand and wiping her tears, Tu Jiaojiao stared at the father and daughter, listening to their singing, and said slowly: "That's different. , I just wish I didn’t have this woman’s skills, otherwise, I would have joined the army long ago. It would be more fun to take revenge by myself.”
Looking at his sad wife, Ding Ergou scratched his head. Somewhat at a loss.
His wife is the reassurance of the family. At home, Tu Jiaojiao is the one who makes decisions about everything, teaching him how to read, telling him the principles of life, and guiding him how to socialize. It seems that he has never seen his wife as careless as she is now. .
Something suddenly came to mind, and Ding Ergou suddenly felt that this matter might make his wife happy.
"Jiaojiao, if you want to take revenge personally, you don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield and brandish swords and guns with your own hands!"
"Otherwise, what else can you do? Kill someone at home or curse. ? Can it hurt Yuan Ren at all?" Tu Jiaojiao sighed.
“I have listened to the teachers’ lectures in the martial arts school these days, and I have understood a lot of truths!” Ding Ergou said: “Fight face to face with the enemy, stabbing the enemy’s chest with a knife and gun, and his face is covered with the enemy’s blood. Blood is actually just the last step to kill the enemy. Before that, there are countless things to do, such as war planning and deployment, intelligence collection, food, grass and salary collection, pensions for wounded soldiers in the war, war Local governance and so on, and every step of these things is indispensable. No matter which step you are engaged in, it can be regarded as a part of revenge! ”
"What do you want to say?" Tu Jiaojiao asked strangely.
“The teachers said that the Beiting Protectorate is recruiting women as officials.” Ding Ergou said: “I heard that our Beiting Protectorate has very few adults and officials, and they are literate. There are very few people, so the Protectorate wants women who can read and write to go out and do things, instead of sitting at home singing, playing the piano and painting."
"Really?" Tu Jiaojiao's eyes. Suddenly the light came on: "You said that the Beiting Protectorate allows women to serve as officials?"
"Yes." Ding Ergou said: "But it is said to be an exam, and then according to different results, different Allocate your abilities to work in different positions. You used to be a teacher in the village. Now that I move to the city, you can no longer be a husband. The children are older now, so I can find a nanny to take care of them. , In a year or two, it’s time to go to the library to study.”
“Will you let me go?”
Ding Ergou looked at Tu Jiaojiao. After so many years of marriage, it was the first time that he really saw the light in his wife's eyes.
"Why don't you let you go?" Ding Ergou said: "If it weren't for you, our family would be here today? If you weren't so far-sighted, maybe I would have died in some war. . As long as you are happy, I will do whatever you want."
Tu Jiaojiao looked at the face opposite and cried again.
Her life is undoubtedly tragic, but she is extremely lucky. In such a blind marriage, she found the best one.
"Why are you crying again? If you don't want to go, we won't go!" Ding Ergou couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly wiped his wife's tears.
"No, I'm going, I must go, and I also want to truly do my part for the Yuan-Destroying Dog!" Tu Jiaojiao choked with sobs.
Holding his wife's hand, he walked out of the tavern door.
In the tavern, the girl had reached her climax. After unremitting struggle, the helpless girl became a general respected by everyone. She killed Yuan people on the battlefield and made the Yuan people howl like ghosts and wolves.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Protector's Mansion to ask about the specific situation!" Ding Ergou said.
“Can we get in?” Tu Jiaojiao was a little worried.
"You underestimate your husband too much!" Ding Ergou said with a smile: "I am now in the seventh rank of Xuanyuan. A person who can become a captain as soon as he learns martial arts can still enter the Protectorate. And don't forget , Mao Changshi has seen you, and you have allocated special funds to the school in our Jigongling Village."
"That's true, but who is Mao Changshi? Remember that I am such a little girl," Tu Jiaojiao said softly. After helping his wife onto the horse, Ding Ergou led the horse and walked slowly, saying as he walked: "Actually, I heard a rumor."
"What rumor?"< br>
“That’s the story behind the song I heard today!”
"Isn't it just a story that can touch people's hearts?"
"Rumors say that this story is actually about Xiao Duhu of our Beiting Duhu Mansion!" Ding Ergou looked around. , the voice was so low that only Tu Jiaojiao could hear it.
Tu Jiaojiao reined in the horse. The horse was in pain and neighed, causing everyone on the street to look at them.
"How is it possible?"
Ding Ergou looked around sheepishly, led the horse and walked quickly until he reached a place with few people, and then said: "It's very possible. You didn't I have seen Xiao Duhu before. Xiao Duhu is really beautiful, so when fighting, Xiao Duhu always wears a devil mask. I have always wondered how a man can be so handsome. If he is like this. If things match up, it makes sense.”
"So, the Protector of our Beiting Protectorate is actually a woman?"
"Keep your voice down!" Ding Ergou said: "It's just a guess now, but the ones in the martial arts school The classmates all guessed this and asked the teachers, but the teachers just laughed and refused to admit or deny it. Do you know who the teachers in the martial arts school are? General Gu Xiaoman, General Xiao Dongwei, the one with only one eye. Yes, I heard that he has been following the Protector, and he didn’t even deny it. Do you think this is the same thing?”
“Let’s go to the Protector’s Mansion!” He shook the reins excitedly and tapped the horse's belly with his foot. The horse ran forward as a habit, throwing Ding Er Dog behind.
Ding Er put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. The horse that had been running immediately stopped, turned around, and ran back to Ding Er. Dog's side.
Ding Ergou smiled and took the reins again, and said to Tu Jiaojiao: "Don't try to get rid of me. Let's go, I will lead the horse for you."
Looking at the back of Ding Er'er who was leading the horse forward, the sadness that Tu Jiaojiao had been hiding deep in her heart was finally completely shattered at this moment and dissipated without a trace in her body.
Although the wind and snow are still there, my heart is full of sunshine.
In the Chief Historian's Office of the Protectorate, Mao Daxian looked at the thick stack of rosters, with a smile on his wrinkled face.
“Look, look, there are hundreds of literate women in Aquarius City alone.” Mao Daxian flipped through the roster at random: “Most of these people are from wealthy families, officials. Home, knowledge is not bad, as for ability, hehe, ability can be cultivated. And being an official is actually not that difficult. Some officials need to be creative and decisive, but there are You are an official, but you are familiar with it!”
“Chang Shi, I know that many people scolded you behind your back.” An official said with a smile: "But they have no choice. Even Chief Qian and General Xiao have set an example. If they hide it, they will inevitably be seen as disloyal to Beiting. Moreover, the fact that the Protector is a woman has actually been solved by everyone now. I’m almost convinced. There are also many people who think that in order to alleviate the predicament of the Protector, you came up with such a harmful trick to let women become officials!”
Mao Daxian sneered: "When these women become high-ranking officials in the future, they will know my good intentions! If a man can shine on the family tree, so can a woman. The Protectorate is a typical example."
" By the way, Chang Shi, I wonder if Li Duhu will be angry about this matter? After all, it is such a big matter." The official hesitated: "The impact of this matter will be far beyond ours. Estimated."
"Young master told me these things a long time ago!" Mao Daxian said: "Everyone should make the best use of their talents, regardless of gender. It's just that in the past, we didn't have many people under our command. A woman who is literate, let alone knowledgeable and has the necessary qualities! But things are different now. Look, wouldn’t it be a waste if these people don’t use them?”
“Chang Shi, I am. Can you pick a few first?”
“Yes, General Xiao’s two concubines are very beautiful and generous, and they are also very knowledgeable after following General Xiao. You are a subordinate!”
"Chang Shi, don't hurt me!"
"What about the twin daughters of Qian Zhangyuan? They are eye-catching to look at by your side!"
"I said Chang Shi, you Are you looking down on me? Why are you trying to harm me? Qian Jia's daughter, I think we can hide as far away as you can. Otherwise, send them away. You can go back to Zhiqiuyuan."
Seeing his subordinates leaving in confusion, Mao Daxian couldn't help laughing.
Looking at the roster in his hand, a narrow smile appeared on Mao Daxian's lips.
If these people are used well, they can be of great help to the local area.
