Chapter 89 A Woman's Heart

As a northerner, Li Ping still prefers to take a hot bath, especially when it's cold, when he gets into the warm water, he feels a sense of refreshment all over his body.

Of course, Li Ping will not go to the public bathhouse with the officers and soldiers now. After all, this is not an era when the equality of later generations has basically been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He can adapt to the complete sharing of pains and joys with the officers and soldiers, but it may not be good. .

The strong concept of respect and order in ancient times is rooted in the backward level of economic and humanistic development, and it is also an important guarantee for ensuring the stability of social order.A small step ahead is advanced, but a big step ahead is a disaster.

In fact, even the above-mentioned officers, Song Baolai, Ma Yong, Duan Qiang, and Hu Zhongshan, were all washed by themselves.

Only officers below the company level were explicitly required to use the same bathhouse with ordinary soldiers. The purpose was to promote mutual understanding between officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and to prevent the phenomenon of disengagement, disengagement, and ignorance of soldiers.After all, the company and platoon leaders are the frontline leaders.

Li Ping himself attaches great importance to the construction of public baths, and he will often check the operation and actual use there.

Maintaining hygiene is the most effective way to reduce diseases, and bathing is the most effective means of maintaining hygiene.

The free public baths in later generations are almost the standard equipment of every military barracks, and its construction and operation are allocated with special military expenditures. This is not simply to meet the needs of officers and soldiers or a welfare, but has far-reaching considerations. .

A few days ago, Li Ping felt that there should be nothing wrong with the wound, so he took the first bath after the injury.But because he didn't know what to do, he only soaked in the water for a short while, mainly to get rid of the mud and itching.

Today is the second time he took a bath after being injured. He must take a good bath and wash it clean.

Leaning in the big wooden basin, through the clear water, Li Ping could easily see a small circle of fat growing on his stomach. His thighs were obviously much thicker, and the lines that were once tight were getting lighter and weaker. .

Li Ping has gained weight. For more than a month, he has basically not done much exercise, and he eats and drinks well every day. It is really unreasonable not to be fat.

He has to start exercising again, this is war time!Even if it's not for anything else, consider running ahead of others when running.

After taking a bath, although the night was dark, Li Ping still sat in front of the table, picked up the pen habitually, and started the daily writing habit formed during this period.

He wrote mainly those pamphlets that officers and soldiers saw in the library, such as historical stories, geography knowledge and physics.As for Chinese, mathematics, geometry, and common sense of hygiene, he assigned them to Gao Lei and Zhao Lanyue, and they also divided the work.

Now Li Ping seldom goes to give lessons to the officers.

Now that officers have more and more things to do and more cumbersome, it is not appropriate to gather them when they are not necessary. It is more effective to write on paper so that they can arrange their own time to study.Moreover, knowledge can be extended to all officers and soldiers more effectively, because what Li Ping wants to educate is the entire army after all.

At present, he attaches the most importance to the writing of history, because history is the best way to shape the concept of nationality and right and wrong, and it is also the most wasteful of brain cells. The subject matter is very important.

From Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries, Wei Qinghuo Qubing's wolves living in Xu, to Wei Zheng's water can carry a boat, and then to the Tang Dynasty's openness and tolerance, and the historical lessons of the Han Dynasty's strong fall and the Song Dynasty's rich fall.

What Li Ping wants to pass on to the officers and soldiers is the thoughts and consciousness behind these histories. He hopes to subtly establish the concept of the country, the concept of martial arts and the concept of loving the people, which are very scarce among the officers and soldiers, so he cannot write indiscriminately.

Especially those related to national concepts need to be emphasized and cautious.

In China before modern times, even before the Republic of China, the concept of the country was very strange to most Chinese people or most Chinese people at the bottom of society. The imperial court and the monarch do not have the understanding that one prospers and one loses.

For the vast majority of Chinese people, it doesn't matter who is the ruler, as long as it allows them to live, a slightly less difficult life is enough.

The common people in China have always been very patient, and they are used to it.

In fact, the wisdom of the people is not developed, and the proportion of educated people is too low.Patriotic feelings and world-minded feelings are basically only the affairs of scholars.Of course, there are many admirable people with good family traditions, but they are definitely a minority of the minority.

This also leads to a very serious problem, that is, "If you have a milk, you are a mother" has almost become a bad habit of the least educated group during the troubled times - the army.

To make matters worse, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are basically the same at this time. Li Ping must consciously weaken this problem, so as not to cultivate a group of diehard members of the Ming court and put a curse on himself instead.

Only in this way, the choice and narrative method of the story also need special attention.

Although there is no chronology to compare the time, Li Ping's memory is not that good.

However, Li Ping can also use hundreds of years or more than 1000 years ago to blur the processing, and the outline of history can also be corrected with a large number of collected history books. As for the details, he mainly introduces them briefly in the form of stories. It saved a lot of trouble and made the whole writing work go on relatively smoothly.

Quiet nights are the best time to sort out thoughts and write. With a small cigarette from time to time, Li Ping seems to have returned to the days when he was rushing materials at work in time and space.

In the middle, Liu Xiaohui came in to refill the tea several times, and she came and walked lightly each time, the two of them had already gotten used to it and often had no communication.

The lights in Li Ping's room were kept on, and Liu Xiaohui usually didn't go to bed early. If she went back to her daughter's place that night, the tall and thin maid named Li Jing would come to serve her.

The reference materials on his table were prepared by this maid named Li Jing.

She can always carefully turn the bibliography to the pages of the specific historical points that Li Ping specified to find, or neatly extract the content that Li Ping needs on a piece of paper and put it aside neatly.

When Li Ping's repeatedly revised manuscripts were finalized, most of them were copied by this maid named Li Jing.Li Jing seems to have become Li Ping's de facto assistant in writing.

And these are obviously impossible for Liu Xiaohui who only knows how to read.

This Li Jing is one of the four beauties given to Li Ping by Mrs. Zuo Menggeng.Of the four beauties, Li Ping divided two of them with Song Baolai, and the other two stayed by his side as maids, and they were the only two maids around him at present.

However, Li Jing was the one who pinched Song Baolai's legs before, and the slightly plump and bold one next to Li Ping was transferred to Song Baolai's side.

There was such a "mistake" because Liu Xiaohui divided them up, but Li Ping didn't tell Liu Xiaohui how to divide them.When it became a fact, Li Ping and Song Baolai, who had no demands, would naturally not take it seriously.

But now it seems that there is no coincidence, and Li Ping, who is thirsty for talent, can get it without any effort.

In terms of appearance and figure, Li Jing is more in line with the aesthetics of modern people.

Her lips are slightly wider, her head is also larger, and her facial features are more angular, mainly thin and tall.With a height close to 1 meters, she is almost the same as Gao Lei, which makes her very eye-catching in a feudal society with little population exchange or in the south.

Apart from being thin and fair, Li Jing's features are quite different from the petite, round face and small facial features that people generally like. It is estimated that she can be selected into the ranks of beauties because she is really pleasing to the eye and because of her height. It's especially slender.

Li Jing's knowledge comes from her family.

She was plundered in the Central Plains. She was once the daughter of a talented teacher. It is said that several generations of her family have been educated.

Such a family allowed Li Jing to be proficient in poetry and books. What's even more rare is that Li Jing can write well, and knowledge makes her brows more delicate.

Li Jing's ability to be reused by Liu Xiaohui is probably related to this, because Li Ping obviously has a preference for knowledgeable people.

The other maid named Huang Xiaoyun was from an ordinary peasant family, illiterate, thin and weak, and not tall.She seems to be very, very timid, and it is easy to scare her into panic if she doesn't do something well, so her sense of existence is relatively low.

Fundamentally speaking, these two maids are somewhat submissive and reticent, and the rough life experience and the many painful memories suffered because of their appearance are probably the main reasons.

They have already changed their owners and endured countless sufferings. Numbness and survival seem to be all they have, so they are basically asked to do whatever they want.

Even though no one yelled at them here, and no one beat or scolded them here for more than a month, they were still very cowardly and well-behaved.

But Li Jing's adjustment and adaptation speed was far faster than Huang Xiaoyun's. Knowledge and experience obviously greatly enhanced her ability to observe and familiarize herself with the new environment.

When she does things, her movements are light, her eyes are soft, and her proportions are relatively moderate. There is no dodge in her eyes, but she does not have any flattery. She is used to oppression and obedience, but she does not want to sink completely.

……

The next day, Li Ping got up very early.

At dawn, he walked out of the yard to run with the troops, and then spent half a day on the equipment field.When he returned to the residence, his clothes were already soaked.

At this time, there was a busy scene in his small courtyard.

Sweeping the floor, starting the fire, tidying up the house... a few people shuttle back and forth, and from time to time you can hear Liu Xiaohui's soft calling, just like every morning in the past month .

At this time, Li Ping's room had been tidied up.

After taking clean clothes, Li Ping used a large bucket of warm water that had been prepared in the backyard to wash off his sweat. The washing after exercise made people feel refreshed.

When Li Ping finished washing and changing his clothes and sat down to rest and drink weak tea, Liu Xiaohui came in and picked up Li Ping's changed clothes and the water stains on the ground.Seeing Liu Xiaohui busy around him, Li Ping suddenly thought of something else.

This Liu Xiaohui doesn't have much talent, she can read but can't write.

It is said that there are many disputes in front of the widow's family, and she is not very old, and she looks good. She is still in the market of the Ming Dynasty, and she is the easiest to be on the cusp of the storm.

But Liu Xiaohui miraculously seems to have a good reputation in the neighborhood, not only has no criticism, but also has a lot of goodwill.

This is very unusual!

For a woman with nothing to rely on, and a child with her, to be able to survive in the troubled times, and to be able to live, I am afraid that it is not only difficult.

Such a person can never be simple-minded, and he must have a good way of doing things.

Since Liu Xiaohui came to Li Ping camp, some things have already been seen.

For example, Li Jing, when Liu Xiaohui, who has always been careful, assigned the four of them, he would definitely know who they served in the first place.

But Liu Xiaohui still assigned that bold and coquettish girl to Song Baolai in the end, and assigned Li Jing, who looked quiet, here, there must be some inner thoughts.

At that time, Liu Xiaohui probably didn't know that Li Jing was talented.

When Li Jing showed his culture, Liu Xiaohui chose to reuse Li Jing without hesitation, and was willing to retreat behind the scenes in some matters, and the way to choose was not at all confused.

This woman's EQ is really not low!
Looking at it now, for her future life, her choice is completely clear, and she took advantage of the situation very well, moistening things silently.

However, Liu Xiaohui's heart should not be bad, otherwise the fool Liu San would not like her, and the neighbors would have seen through her for so many years, after all, there is no shortage of smart people in this world.

Yes, and that big stupid Liu San, is he more stupid or smart?

It should be true that the stupid big man Liu San is a little bit stupefied, and he can't pretend this, or he can't pretend for a long time.But his mind is probably not lacking much, and he may even be more understanding than many ordinary people in some places.

It's a bit unreasonable for a fool to run goods with his relatives, no one else knows whether he is alive or dead, and he is the only one who is still alive and well.

What's more, he is following along and needs a lot of communication. He is really stupid, how can others keep him by his side all the time.

Just like when Li Ping met Liu San for the first time, many soldiers were barefoot, but he was a fool wearing straw sandals, which in itself explained a lot of problems.Moreover, the choice he made to curry favor with Li Ping was the simplest and most effective at the time, and he easily had more water and more food than others.

Maybe it was the experience of running goods in the past that gave Liu San a little bit of cunning as a small businessman, or maybe it was because of this that Liu San was taken to run goods.

Anyway, he lived a good life, better than many people who are not stupid.

Thinking of this, Li Ping couldn't help sighing secretly: Everyone has their own unique way of living.Fortunately, he likes Liu Xiaohui like this, and he doesn't dislike Liu San.

At this time, Liu Xiaohui had quickly cleaned up the mess of Li Ping's washing. She said to Li Ping: "Master, I'm leaving first" and then left gently with her sweat-stained clothes.

Looking at Liu Xiaohui's back, Li Ping was distracted again.

It’s good to enjoy the shade under the big tree!Everyone is looking for their own big tree, but the search often does not have any results.

And having a tree is better than having no tree.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu couldn't be his big tree, nor could it be the Ming Dynasty, but as long as he still needed shade, at least he had to surround him first.
