Wei and Jin cooks

After leaving the city, Zhao Hanzhang said to Zhao Erlang and Beigong Tuanyuan: "Aren't you competing? Let's go now."

When Zhao Erlang heard this, he immediately turned around to get the gun and threw it to Beigong Tuanyuan, "Let's go!"

Beigong Tuanyuan saluted Zhao Hanzhang on his horse, and then he rode off to chase Zhao Erlang.

Seeing the two people rushing to the front, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but smile and looked back at Zhao Cai.

Zhao Cai immediately led a group of personal guards to catch up.

The two chased them to the Luoshui River. There was an open area there. There was a simple food shop beside the road. It provided hot water for free and sold some steamed buns and noodles. It was only supported by a few sticks and was covered with thatch. A little rain.

There is a large open space behind the food shop. Zhao Erlang is very familiar with this. He holds a gun and rides his horse to the river first, reining in the horse and turning around to face Beigong Tuanyuan who is chasing after him.

"Fight here!"

Beigong Tuanyuan glanced at the place and found that the place was open and bordered by Luoshui. There was also a large wasteland along Luoshui, and he immediately responded: "Okay!"

She raised her gun slightly and said with piercing eyes: "My shooting skills are passed down from my father. I heard my father mentioned that you can't take ten moves in his hands."

Zhao Erlang: "That was before. Now I am stronger and my kung fu is better."

"Then let me take the exam for my father."

Zhao Erlang's eyes were also full of excitement. When Beigong Tuanyuan rushed towards him, he also kicked the horse in the stomach, did not retreat but approached her, and instantly engaged her. The two of them missed each other, and then cleverly controlled the horse to turn around...

Everyone who was sitting on the food stall stood up and ran down to watch, "What a good marksmanship. This is horse-riding kung fu. With such skills, you should serve the country in the army. Why are you fighting here?"

"This is not a fight, this is a discussion."

"somebody is coming……"

Zhao Cai and others caught up with them. In order to avoid hurting the people, they stood in a row to separate the people, but they did not drive them away and allowed them to watch the battle on the sidelines.

Zhao Erlang and Beigong Tuanyuan were fighting inextricably. Zhao Hanzhang and the others also arrived and stopped to watch the battle in a more spacious place on the other side.

The Queen Mother and Mrs. Beigong stood together and stood on tiptoe to watch. They saw that the gun was about to stab the child several times, but they narrowly avoided it. They couldn't help but scream again and again.

Xie Xiangrong, Xie's father and Xie's mother were a few steps behind, but they could see clearly. Envy flashed in her eyes when she saw the cheerful and lively Bei Gong reunited on horseback.

Looking at Zhao Erlang with bright eyes opposite him, Xie Xiangrong knew in his heart that the marriage was not going to work out.

She withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at the emperor, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Zhao Hanzhang's eyesight on people was very keen, and Xie Xiangrong turned to look at her almost the third second his eyes fell on her.

The two people's eyes met, and Zhao Hanzhang raised a smile and looked at her gently and tolerantly.

Xie Xiangrong's heart felt bitter and sweet at the same time. The collision made her heart sour and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

She made up her mind immediately.

Zhao Hanzhang only glanced at Xie Xiangrong and then continued to look at the two people by the river.

This time, Beigong Tuanyuan and Zhao Erlang were unwilling to stop easily, and they had to decide a winner.

After all, Zhao Erlang had more experience in fighting on the battlefield than Bei Gong Tuan Yuan. When he charged again, he drew his gun faster than her. He stabbed her right shoulder with a brush, pierced her clothes, moved the car fiercely, and returned. After grabbing and stabbing at an angle, Beigong Tuanyuan couldn't block the first move, but the second move was too slow to kill her, and the gun stopped in front of her neck.

Beigong Tuanyuan raised his chin, lowered his eyes and looked at the gun that stabbed his neck and said, "You win."

Zhao Erlang then put away his gun and said proudly: "What, I'm not worse than you, right? That move just now was taught to me by General Beigong."

The Wang family who was watching the battle couldn't help but hold on to Mrs. Beigong's hand when Zhao Erlang stabbed Beigong Tuanyuan. At this time, she saw Beigong Tuanyuan's clothes stained with blood. She couldn't help but exclaimed and helped Qinggu. And Mrs. Beigong's hands rushed down.

He rushed to Zhao Erlang's horse and said angrily: "You brat, get down!"

Zhao Erlang looked confused, dismounted and said, "What's wrong with my mother?"

Mrs. Wang pinched his ears, turned around half a circle and said angrily: "You actually hit someone, the sword and the gun have no eyes, don't you understand, you just stabbed the Beigong girl." .”

Zhao Erlang complained: "I have already stopped. The first shot was supposed to go into the right side of the neck, and the second shot was supposed to go into the front of the neck, but I missed it."

Beigong Tuanyuan also explained for him, "Back to the Queen Mother, Prince Qin has shown courtesy. If I had been on the battlefield, I would have lost long ago."

Zhao Erlang nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that he was so clueless, Mrs. Wang used more force on her hands, and she couldn't help but howl in her heart. Fortunately, Sanniang became the emperor, otherwise how could he say goodbye to her like this? Who would want to marry such a stick?

Zhao Hanzhang also thought that he was a stick, so he did not join in the beating, nor did he try to persuade him. Instead, he looked at the three Xie family members who were standing aside.

Lai Qing was alert and immediately stepped forward to bring the three people to Zhao Hanzhang.

In fact, when he saw Prince Qin and Beigong reunited and fought evenly, Father Xie no longer had any illusions.

Xie's mother also felt a chill after the Queen Mother cared so much about Beigong's reunion. Their family had no power and could only rely on Xie Shi. What could Xie Xiangrong use to fight against Beigong's reunion?

Zhao Hanzhang exchanged greetings with Xie's father and then said straight to the point: "I heard from Xie that Xie Xiangrong has a good literary talent. Now the court is recruiting people, so I would like to invite Miss Xie to become an official in the court."

Before Xie Xiangrong could speak, Xie's father refused on her behalf, thinking that Xie Shi was exaggerating and that her talent and virtue were not enough to serve as an official.

Mother Xie nodded repeatedly and interjected: "Her father has been studying for many years and can do a lot more than she does."

Zhao Hanzhang: "I want to hear what Miss Xie means."

If it were in the past, Xie Xiangrong would definitely choose a gentler approach and not be so disrespectful to her parents in front of others, but Beigong's unrestrained and unrestrained attitude made the fire in her heart seem to spurt out, no longer suppressed by herself.

She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, then bowed her hands respectfully, "I am willing to serve your Majesty."

Zhao Hanzhang felt happy in his heart and said with a smile in his eyes: "Go to Taixue tomorrow to report."

Xie's father and Xie's mother were shocked and wanted to refuse. Zhao Hanzhang glanced at them, and they felt a chill all over their bodies. It seemed as if there was a big mountain on their shoulders and they couldn't move. Naturally, they didn't dare to refuse anymore.

Xie Xiangrong lowered his eyes. She knew that she had to solve this problem by herself, and she could solve it, but it would only damage her reputation, but compared with freedom, the reputation she lost was really nothing.

In the past, it was because if any unfilial remarks about her were spread, her future would be ruined. But now that the emperor has given her a way out, she is no longer so afraid and worried.

Only then did Zhao Hanzhang go down to see Beigong reunited.

As soon as the emperor left, Xie's father and mother Xie took Xie Xiangrong aside and scolded him: "His Majesty wants to resign you, why don't you refuse? You are a woman, and your first priority is to be chaste and quiet..."

Xie Xiangrong had not objected yet, but the passers-by who were standing by and watching were unhappy and interrupted: "Sister-in-law is not right. Doesn't being an official mean that you are not chaste? Then your Majesty is also the emperor."

Xie's mother said: "How can she argue with His Majesty? Your Majesty is a god-like person. She is just a girl. She has only read a few books. She is not as good as two fingers of her father. Even if she wants to be an official, It should be her father who goes..."

"I don't like hearing this. Nothing in this world can be hidden from Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty doesn't use her father, it means that her father's ability as an official is not as good as hers."

"That's right, that's right."

The people present were all Zhao Hanzhang's brainless boasts and did not think Zhao Hanzhang's decision was wrong.

This is a later-built official road, mainly leading to the water mill by Luoshui River.

Most people in Luoyang and surrounding areas choose to come here to pound rice and grind flour, because it not only saves labor but is also cheap.

For those who are close, families come with burdens or carts. For those who are far away, an entire village or several families will borrow ox carts and then carry their food to the ox carts. On the car, mark it and send two people out to grind and pound it.

Next time, switch to two other people and take turns, which saves effort and time.

So all the people on this road go back and forth from Water Mill.

They are also the ones who have met Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan the most.

Everyone knows that there is a heavily guarded workshop not far from the water mill. The emperor's husband Fu Langjun is inside, and the emperor always comes here to visit.

They didn't know Zhao Erlang and Beigong Tuanyuan, but they recognized Zhao Hanzhang when he arrived just now, so they stayed aside excitedly, but couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen to her.

When they heard that Xie Xiangrong was personally appointed by the emperor, they were not only excited but also envious.

As a result, the couple actually wanted to refuse!

Amid envy, jealousy and hatred, a woman carrying a burden squeezed over and said sourly: "Sister-in-law is so lucky. Do you have a few children at home, so you don't care about this girl? If so, why not give it to me? Well, if I had such a daughter who was so proud of my ancestors, I would be able to laugh out of my dreams."

The people around laughed and joked: "Are you really dreaming that such a good daughter can be allowed to go out? This is an official given by His Majesty himself. It will definitely have a bright future in the future. Who would refuse? I think they just said that .”

Xie Xiangrong also looked at Xie's father and Xie's mother and asked, "Is that what father and mother said?"

Father Xie worriedly said, "We still have to go back to Yangxia. How can you be an official in Luoyang?"

Mother Xie remembered it and responded quickly: "Yes, your parents don't want to leave you, not to mention you are not young anymore, it's time to get married."

The people around now understood clearly that this couple really didn't just say it casually, they actually planned to refuse their child's entry into the officialdom.

They were shocked and advised one after another: "Brother, please advise my wife, what kind of era is this? Starting a family is important, but establishing a career is also important. Why not let your daughter enter the court as an official first, and then get engaged and get married. Many female officials in the court also Single."

"Not only the female officers are single, but the male officers are also single. Isn't this just right? Why rush to get engaged and married now?"

"Yes, His Majesty is also married, and he also manages a huge country. Your daughter's marriage will not affect her career."

"Brother, the world is peaceful, so why are you still restricting girls from going out? You need to be more open-minded and take a long-term view. Daughters are also children. You can't delay your children because of petty sentiments such as male-female prejudice."

Everyone gave advice one after another.

Father Xie and Mother Xie couldn't get a word in, let alone say anything in defense, and their faces turned red.

They didn't expect that Luoyang was crazier than Yangxia. Everyone was in favor of women becoming officials?

Wouldn't this lose the family's face?

In the end, Father Xie stamped his feet and said, "She only earns a few strings of salary as an official. The family does not lack this kind of money. We can afford to raise our children and we don't want her to suffer like this."

Xie Xiangrong immediately said: "Father, becoming an official is not a hardship, nor is it just for the few strings of salary, but for the people, the country, and your own life ambitions."

“When Her Majesty opened the school, she said that she would allow all children from all over the world, regardless of gender, to learn to read, count, and learn how to be a good person, so that they can live a good life in the future. People from the Qi family work hard to help the people and govern the country. This is the foundation for studying in school." Xie Xiangrong said: "My daughter is lucky enough to be born to her parents. She can have enough food and clothing, and has learned so many skills. I think I am halfway through self-cultivation. Next is Qi. Home and people."

She bowed Yingying and said: "Father, mother, please let your daughter honor you too and make money by her own ability instead of taking money from her parents."

The passers-by were filled with envy when they heard this, and they all praised: "Brother, you have a good daughter."

Even the woman who had just shouldered the burden was no longer upset. She pulled Xie's mother and said, "Sister-in-law, you can raise such a good daughter, so you are also a good girl. I must have misunderstood you just now."

Xie's father and Xie's mother were so praised that they felt that there was nothing wrong with their daughter becoming an official.

Beigong Tuanyuan had already tied up her shoulders, but she was just scratched by the gun and her skin was pierced. The blood flow has stopped now.

Once you apply the medicine, pay more attention and you won't even leave any scars.

They raised their guns and saw the situation in that corner. When Beigong Tuanyuan heard Xie Xiangrong's words, he couldn't help but tell Zhao Erlang, "I like this girl."

Zhao Erlang said proudly: "This is my senior sister."

Beigong Tuanyuan's eyes were bright, "I also like to hear what she said. This is the first time I heard it."

Zhao Erlang became even more proud, "That's what my sister said."

Seeing that they were getting along well, Ms. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Mrs. Beigong and said, "It was really good and bad for a while. I was scared to death just now."

Mrs. Beigong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. It's common for her to get injured during competitions. When Tuan Yuan was at home, she was often tested by her father, and she was often injured. Prince Qin's shot on her was considered a light one."

So Mrs. Beigong really doesn't take it seriously.

In the early years, she took her daughter to herd. In order for her to learn how to drive away wolves and how to escape when encountering wolves, she also took her to practice on horses. Falling off horses was common at that time.

She is not afraid that Beigong will be injured during the reunion competition. She is only afraid that she will be uncomfortable and unhappy after getting married.

Children on the grassland are used to freedom and freedom, and are afraid of being trapped in a single world. But now is the best era. Women can be officials. She has the ability and ambition to reunite. Why is she trapped in a trap just because she is married? What about the back house?

It couldn't be better for the King of Qin to accept a woman serving in the army after getting married.

Mrs. Beigong is also very satisfied with this marriage.
