Queen Mother Yan couldn't figure out what a girl Lin Xiaoyue could do? She stopped Lin Xiaoyue and asked: "Miss Lin, can you also wield a sword?"
Lin Xiaoyue explained: "The people's daughter doesn't know how. Because Brother Liang doesn't have many people, and Prince Rong's people can't come, so yesterday the people's daughter and Mr. Gu discussed recruiting some soldiers who can fight in Yangming Town first.
I want to go over and see how Mr. Gu is doing and if there is anyone who needs help."
Queen Mother Yan nodded clearly and said: "That's it, go ahead! Be careful outside!"
Lin Xiaoyue saluted and thanked her, saying: "Thank you, Queen Mother, and the daughter of the people will retire!"
Walking out of the east room, Lin Xiaoyue let out a long breath. It was so tiring to talk to the Queen Mother. Being too casual seemed disrespectful, and being too respectful was tiring. Women in the palace are so cautious every day, no wonder they don't live long!
Liang Jingyao glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and asked funnyly: "What's wrong? Are you nervous?"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said: "No, I heard that the pursuers were coming, and I felt upset! You go and work with Zhan Hu first. I'll talk to Yunyun and go find Gu Mian! There are more than a thousand people on the other side, so let's forget it.
Plus there are not that many people in Yangming Town! It seems we have to find another way, let’s go!”
Liang Jingyao really didn't have time to see Gu Mian. Before leaving, he took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and warned: "I'm not afraid of more than a thousand! But don't take risks, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Don't worry! I'm not a random person!"
With that said, she turned around and entered the kitchen. A woman meditated in the palace and reached the position of the Queen Mother. She had become a spirit long ago. She knew that Yunyun was a kind-hearted girl, but she still wanted to give her a few more words before leaving.
.
Leaving the bamboo courtyard, Lin Xiaoyue walked skillfully through the bamboo forest, then entered the waterfall, and finally walked out of the coffin shop.
Lin Xiaoyue said: "Hello, girl, is there any man in your family who can enlist in the army?"
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue came over. Seeing Gu Mian's sad face, she greeted with a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you? Is it difficult to deal with you?"
Zhan Ying understood what Lin Xiaoyue meant, he nodded and said, "No problem, don't worry, Miss Lin!"
The woman bit the silver and shouted excitedly into the house: "Dad, look! The recruitment on the street yesterday is true! I told you, you still don't believe it! They said they could advance two silver coins to us!"
From now on, I will give you two ingots of silver every month! In this way, I will have enough money to treat my father’s illness!”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and followed Gu Mian to the first house. The person who opened the door was a woman.
Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and asked: "Just say what you want to say! You don't need to ask us what we are doing. We won't tell you if you ask us, but I can consider your request appropriately."
The man looked at the dilapidated house behind him, thought for a moment, and said, "Aren't you recruiting soldiers from the government? Otherwise, you wouldn't be given so much."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm leaving."
The woman looked at Lin Xiaoyue and asked defensively: "You are not government officials, why are you asking these questions?"
Gu Mian avoided disturbing the restaurant, so he disguised himself and took his people to other crowded places to set up stalls and recruit soldiers.
"Yun, I'm going to the city to see how Mr. Gu's recruitment is going. You can stay in the kitchen or go to my father's place. If no one comes to summon you in the east room or other rooms, don't go in. People in the capital have rules.
"Duo, I'm afraid you may accidentally collide. Anyway, be careful." Lin Xiaoyue lowered her voice and said.
Lin Xiaoyue felt that she was lucky. She met a family who needed money and said with a smile: "Of course it is true! If you make meritorious service in the war, you can get more money, and maybe you can become an official!"
Lin Xiaoyue covered her mouth and snickered, and said: "Actually, it's normal. After all, we are not recruiting soldiers from the government. It's understandable if the people don't believe us. Otherwise, let's go door to door and ask. It's better to talk alone than talking to each other here.
It’s better to be pointed out by others. For example, some people may have the intention to join the army, but when someone next to them tells them, they don’t want to do it anymore. Don’t you think so?”
Lin Xiaoyue directly put a piece of silver into the woman's hand and said: "Girl, we need men who can fight. If you have a suitable man in your family, then this piece of silver will be yours. I can also advance a month's worth of two silver coins in advance."
I’ll give you an ingot of silver. Why don’t you think about it?”
The man took the silver from the woman's hand, bit it hard, covered his mouth happily and said, "It's true! It turns out it's true!"
In the morning, people were going out to buy groceries. They didn't know how to read. They just glanced at Gu Mian's notice and left. This made Gu Mian feel less and less confident. Can't he still find people today?
Chen Yunyun became extremely nervous when she thought of so many big shots living in Zhuyuan today, but in order not to worry Lin Xiaoyue, she remained calm and calm, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'll just sit in the kitchen."
, if they call me, I will go, if they don’t call me, I won’t go anywhere.”
Gu Mian drooped his head and said listlessly: "Oh! Yesterday I said it with my mouth, and everyone who came to see me thought I was a liar, and then I wrote it down today to give them evidence, but they didn't believe it either. I
I thought it was easy at first, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult!”
Gu Mian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. At dawn the next day, he went out to set up a stall again, but this time he no longer relied on words. He specially hung a big notice, which said that each person who joins the army will be given one silver coin, and will be paid after one month.
Two ingots of silver, every month thereafter.
Gu Mian sighed, stood up, pulled off the paper on the table, and said, "Try it, Miss Lin, please come with me!"
At the beginning, the people who passed by saw Gu Mian's pretty face, talking nonsense, and he didn't look like he had been in the military camp at all. They all thought he was a liar, and walked past one by one as if they were watching the fun. What Gu Mian said yesterday afternoon
My mouth was dry and I didn't even find anyone.
When she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Zhan Ying guarding the gate solemnly. She stepped forward and said, "I have to go out for a while. If I am too busy for a while, please help me."
"Who are you?" The woman looked at Lin Xiaoyue and Gu Mian strangely.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue could make the decision, the man stretched out his thumb and little finger, and bent the other three fingers, and said: "My father needs a lot of money for medical treatment, so in addition to this ingot of silver, give me another half a year's worth of silver, and I will go with you!"
"
Lin Xiaoyue was a little annoyed at the man's lion mouth. She originally thought it was a good start, but she didn't expect it to be a stumbling block!
She shook her head and said, "No, that's too much. If everyone makes such a request, how can I recruit people? Sorry to bother you, let's ask other people!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue turn around, the man fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Girl, please do it, I can sell my life to you! Without this money, my father will really die!"
