After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Qin Yao rolled her eyes at him, why should he say that?

If it had anything to do with it, Mrs. Qi would not have a big talk with General Mu Ling in front of her.

"That's right." Qin Yao smiled proudly at Liu Ji, "Do you know the identity of the eldest princess in the backyard today?"

Liu Ji shook his head, thinking that it might be some capable female officer beside the eldest princess.

Qin Yao answered word for word: "It's General Zuo Mu Ling, who is in charge of half of the Royal Forest Army in Kyoto, a woman."

She particularly emphasized the last two words. Liu Ji thought he heard it wrong, "Huh?" before he recovered and looked at Qin Yao in shock, "I don't study well, don't lie to me!"

Qin Yao: "If I want to lie to you, I won't use this to lie to you. If you don't believe me, just ask your teachers and brothers. They will definitely know."

"Then why have they never told me?" Liu Ji didn't believe it. How could a woman become General Zuo? This is absolutely impossible!

"So, we still don't know much about each other. We only know what's going on in this one-third of an acre. We haven't even been out of Zijin Mansion. We don't know anything about the people and things outside." Qin Yao sigh.

Liu Jizhi said this was impossible, "How is this possible!"

"Women can join the army. I only found out today." Qin Yao told him about the privileges of aristocratic women that she knew from He Zhanghua. Liu Ji felt that his three views were about to be subverted.

He subconsciously looked at her worriedly, thinking that if women could become generals, wouldn't he be suppressed by this evil woman for the rest of his life and never be able to turn around?

Hearing that the threshold for joining the army was set up at the back, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed twice: "Let me just say, if ordinary women can join the army and earn military merit, the world of this prosperous country will not change."

"Fifth-grade official family, hahaha, there is such a thing. A good young lady with a lot of money is so stupid that she goes to the military camp to suffer with a group of smelly men who don't take showers or wash their feet."

At this point, Liu Ji was suddenly startled. Something very important flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.

Qin Yao, who was walking in front, also suddenly stopped. She was just thinking that the world was not as bad as she thought. At least women of the rank of soldier could gain power through military merit.

But on the other hand, if you think about it, women are born with a weak body, but they still choose to join the army. This is not a helpless move after being extremely oppressed by patriarchy.

And even if it is such a difficult road, a common man like Liu Ji is deeply afraid in his heart, fearing that the yin and yang will be reversed, and a man like him with no power, no ability, no merit, will no longer be able to enjoy it. Patriarchal patronage.

The noisy environment in front suddenly quieted down, and the couple, who was deep in thought, looked up together.

A group of women wearing the same simple red military uniforms appeared in the alley at some point. There were five people in the group. They were all tall and strong. They held swords in their hands and were unsmiling. Just standing there brought a strong oppression. feel.

The hawkers all fell silent and lowered their eyes in fear, not daring to look at these obviously extraordinary female generals.

The leading woman took a step forward, cupped her fists and asked, "Qin Yao?"

Qin Yao looked at them warily. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she realized that the corner of her clothes had been grabbed at some point. Liu Ji nervously hid behind her, muttering:

"No way, no way." He couldn't really be what the evil woman told him, and the princess sent someone to arrest him and make him a face!

Qin Yao glanced at him and knew what he was thinking. She wordlessly pulled off her hand from the corner of her clothes, stepped forward and said, "It's me, I'm Qin Yao, who are you?"

Seeing that she didn't look flustered at all, the other party raised his eyebrows with unknown meaning. He didn't answer her, but just raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Qin Yao, we at Lingtou want to see you, please!"

"General Mu Ling?" Qin Yao was a little surprised. Didn't he just meet him just now?

Several people moved out of the way, threatening her not to go.

Qin Yao looked back at Liu Ji and pointed to the street corner next to her, "Go there and wait for me." Liu Ji quickly responded with an "oh, oh", rarely showing a bit of worry about her, and asked tentatively: "Madam, what are you doing?" Are you sure you don’t need me to accompany you?”

Qin Yao put her hands on her hips and sighed helplessly. Do you think these five women want to invite you to go with them?

Liu Ji smiled and slipped away, quickly ran to the corner of the street, leaned against the wall, and secretly stared at the black carriage parked in front of the main entrance of He Mansion.

Qin Yao followed several women to the carriage, and Mu Ling's joking voice came from the carriage:

"I heard that you have divine power. I wonder if you can split the two stone lion statues in front of the He family with one palm."

Qin Yao frowned displeased, "General, you want to see it? Then you have to prepare the compensation yourself. I can't afford to pay for it if it's broken into pieces."

The car curtains were raised, and Mu Ling glanced out at the two stone lions, "So, you can split these two stone lions with your bare hands?"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows with a "hmm", folded her arms and took half a step back. She didn't like looking up at people, and her neck felt uncomfortable.

Now I stepped back a little, my eyes were level with the wooden feathers on the carriage, and I felt better instantly.

Mu Ling glanced at the corner of her mouth and reminded her: "You are a civilian, but you don't salute when you see this general. How brave you are!"

As soon as these words came out, the female soldiers under their command immediately cast threatening glances at Qin Yao, and the leader shouted: "How brave Qin Yao, don't kneel down when you see our general!"

However, the woman who was shouted at by them did not move at all, and said with a faint smile: "Which article in the laws of the Sheng Kingdom says that civilians must kneel down when they see a general?"

The five female soldiers were stunned. Is this included in the order? It seems to be the case, isn’t it always the case?

Mu Ling simply didn't notice. He waved his hand to signal them to leave and said to Qin Yao himself:

"A village woman, she is a bit courageous, but it is written on page 35 of the Laws and Etiquette of Shengguo that all civilians should squat down and salute when seeing an official to show respect."

Qin Yao nodded, indicating that she had gained more knowledge, "But I am just a country woman. I don't know how to do the squatting ceremony. Can you teach me?"

She was sincerely asking for advice, and the five female soldiers listened. Isn't this a clear provocation?

The female soldier led by "You" wanted to take action, but Mu Ling stared back.

Qin Yao looked at Mu Ling innocently. She really didn't know how to do it, but she also really wanted to learn.

Mu Ling sneered in her heart, then I will teach you how to be polite!

She jumped down from the carriage and ordered the female soldier to come over and ask her to give Qin Yao a demonstration.

The so-called squatting ceremony involves staggering the legs forward and back, bending down and squatting completely until the buttocks are touching the calf of the back foot, placing the hands flatly on the knees of the front legs, and saying respectfully: "Ms. Liu Qin, a commoner woman, pays homage to the general!" "

The female soldier finished her demonstration and looked at Qin Yao provocatively, "It's your turn."

Mu Ling simply didn't believe that she would salute him. After all, capable people and strangers are always more proud and would rather break than bend.

She had already thought about what she would do next after Qin Yao stopped being polite.

After all, giving a big stick and then a carrot, this method of first suppressing and then increasing, has always worked for her.

But I never expected it!

Qin Yao knelt down and saluted her in a standard manner, "Qin Yao, a civilian woman, pays homage to General Mu Ling!"

After saluting, he stood up and looked at her with a smile.

The female soldiers were dumbfounded: Why didn't they follow the routine? Where is your pride? Where is your stubbornness?

The air was strangely quiet for a moment, and Mu Ling's mind buzzed. He couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or the disruption of his expectations. Anger welled up, and he felt like a monkey being tricked! (End of chapter)
