Most of the soldiers who went to the battlefield did not receive any awards when they were discharged and returned home, nor did they make a fortune. When they left, they were still the ones with the least status and ability in the team.
The worst kind of people go to the battlefield and die directly after becoming cannon fodder. This is the fate of many low-level soldiers. It is normal to die on the battlefield, and the family members of the deceased can only find another way to survive.
The luckier soldiers survived the battles on the battlefield and were able to survive in the end. However, their limbs were damaged due to the battle, so they were able to leave the team early.
Although people with better luck were injured again and again, there were no fatal injuries and there were many scars on their bodies. Or they were fatally injured but survived by chance, and their limbs were still intact in the end. They were lucky to return to their hometown.
It doesn't mean that they will be happy after returning home, because when they return home, they find that their family is still very poor. They start a new life with some money they got after working hard, and they are still at the bottom of society.
.
The above types of people basically accounted for the vast majority of soldiers, and they all lived very badly. In the later period, there was a special saying: A good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails.
Because the war has been going on, soldiers have always existed. As the saying goes, soldiers are the ones who make the camp strong and the water is flowing. When there are more soldiers, a few outstanding people will appear.
Each of them came from the lowest level, but they seized opportunities one after another, climbed up step by step, and finally completed the feat of transcending classes.
But generally people from the lower class basically stop at being military attaches at the bottom, because people at the bottom rarely have the opportunity to read and read, let alone learn the art of war. They can only rely on their personal talents, which restricts the progress of those lucky people.
.
This is also the reason why those two people thought that Zhuangzi's background was very hard, and ordinary people simply could not afford to educate their children.
After knowing that the people behind Huanlang were very powerful, they still did not give up their original plan. In order to achieve their own goals, they wanted to plot against Huanlang and his children.
Ling Xiao naturally guessed what the other party was thinking. Seeing the behavior of Huanlang and other children, she wanted to pick peaches? What a dream! How could they succeed? She was a child who had spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
At first, she waited for those who were not very obedient to leave before starting to train the children. She felt that she might not be a person who actively participated in social change, but she still hoped that more people would know the importance of education.
.
Among these children, the one with the best education is Huanlang, the younger brother of the original owner, because he has been educated by Ling Xiao for the longest time. This is equivalent to starting early, and there is nothing to say.
The other children were considered smarter as long as they could persevere. There were also some who did not like studying and practicing martial arts because they were not smart themselves. Ling Xiao did not force them to take another path.
Among these children, Ling Xiao also met a super smart child. He and Huanlang were the focus of Ling Xiao's attention. Children who are too smart are difficult to take care of. If one of them is not good enough, something will happen.
The other children are less qualified, but they have made great progress after studying. The degree of improvement is more or less, and those children who are really outstanding are those who form a team. This is what the two outsiders want.
Digging people.
Ling Xiao finally woke them up. After some soul torture, these children finally stopped thinking about how to float and worked hard to grow up, waiting for them to face the wind and rain one day.
After knowing that the children wanted to go out, Ling Xiao did not intend to suppress it completely. Later, when he went to collect food, he started to take a few children with him to let them grow up faster.
The children were very excited after hearing the news. They were so excited that they almost couldn't sleep. They were very nervous as they followed on the road, watching out for bandits and wild beasts along the way.
Therefore, they all saw a lot of things described in books, and they would encounter white bones when it was convenient. They were frightened at first when they saw the skulls, but then they gradually got used to it.
Most of the people I met along the way were shabby and thin people. Only these people knew that there were still problems along the way, and it was definitely not very comfortable. Gradually, they no longer felt so comfortable.
The idea of going out.
But Ling Xiao didn't tell them not to go out. They would start their own business one day, so it was a good time to practice now. This was considered logistical work.
The children have gradually become accustomed to this kind of outing life. They no longer have the urge to go out. They live a rough life along the way, which is completely different from their home life.
During this period, the thirty-eighth mother who got married suddenly came back, which surprised Ling Xiao, but he still brought her over with someone, only to find out that her husband actually planned to let mother and son accompany him to death.
Thirty-eight-year-old Niang only had a superficial affection for her husband, and of course she would not accompany him to death. She left her husband directly and took her confidant home. She was afraid that her parents at home would not be happy, so she went to Ling.
Xiao settled down for a while.
After learning about this situation, Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but waited for Thirty-eighth Niang to take a good rest and accompany her back to her parents' home, which surprised and delighted her family.
But after living there for a while, a problem arose: Some people felt that the thirty-eighth mother should not live in her natal family since she got married, and some of her natal family members wanted her to return to her husband's family.
Thirty-eighth lady saw clearly for herself that she had no intention of returning to her husband's family's land, but since her mother's family was not happy for her to live there, it was normal, so she moved to her own village, very close to Ling Xiao.
She asked her confidants to learn from Ling Xiao's people, and she often took her son to Ling Xiao's village to let him play with the children.
Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention to her actions. During this period, he would occasionally get news from Yang Juan, which was sent by flying pigeons. On this day, he received another flying pigeon.
I found a line on it: Please come and pick me up. After Ling Xiao got it, he was very curious, who could it be? This pigeon should be from Yang Juan's place, how could he be asked to pick him up?
emmmmm ! She suddenly remembered that the connection between her Zhuangzi and the outside was specially designed so that outsiders could not get in, and it just needed to be connected.
Ling Xiao asked the children to ride a horse to pick up the person. After Huanlang took the person to Zhuangzi, he realized that the person who came was Yang Juan's confidant. Ling Xiao brought the person in with some curiosity.
Those who were specially escorted were led down to have a good rest. Although Ling Xiao didn't know what was going on, he felt that there was something wrong with Yang Juan. Could it be that that happened?
After leading Yang Juan's confidant Chang Yun into the hall, Ling Xiao said after everyone else had gone out: "What happened? You look very bad, Chang Yun, why did I send you here?"
Chang Yun is Yang Juan's confidant. Although Ling Xiao and Yang Juan are nominally sisters, if Yang Juan is familiar with Chang Yun, generally Yang Juan will not send her out.
"Madam, I have something to go back to the Yang family this time. The Li family is not very safe. My wife transported part of the valuable dowry to my wife, and finally arrived here. It was really dangerous along the way."
When she said this, her face turned a little pale. You must know that she encountered danger on the way. Thanks to her bringing the most elite people around her, she escaped.
How could this happen? Bringing the dowry to her? This doesn't feel right. Ling Xiao was a little shocked, how could this happen? Looking at Changyun, he said, "Bring some dowry here too?"
Changyun nodded, she came here because of Lady Silk's matter. At this moment, she gritted her teeth, because this situation really made Lady Silk very sad.
"Not long ago, my wife received news that Li Erlang planned to marry again." Changyun's eyes turned red when she said this, and she knelt on the ground and almost cried.
When Ling Xiao heard this, her first feeling was that she had indeed come this far and her second boot had fallen. But as Yang Juan's friend, she still felt angry. "What do you think, brother?" she said with a bit of anger.
I just don’t know what Yang Dalang will do. Should he resolutely not give in? Or persuade his sister to give in? This is a very difficult decision for Yang Dalang.
"Dalangjun," Changyun paused after saying three words, with a bit of displeasure in his tone, then slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "I advise you to give in, Madam."
Sure enough, Ling Xiao snorted softly, even her closest relatives would not understand Yang Juan's thoughts. It was obvious that Yang Juan was very unhappy, but there was no place to vent her inner pain.
As a noble daughter, she has always received strict education. She knows that she should not lose her temper and should always be gentle and face all pain like wearing a mask, but she herself cannot do it at all, and there are countless anguish in her heart.
This is because she clearly wants to curse and leave this home, but she knows that she is not qualified to object or even curse angrily. The reality of everything makes Yang Juan feel too helpless.
As a person with certain political literacy, I can see clearly that what that man wants is a great cause, and she, the so-called first wife, is blocking his path to heaven, so she has to bow down and step down.
It would be an opportunity to leave the Li family, but his brother would not agree. After all, Li Erlang's situation is very good, how could he give up this opportunity?
He understood Yang Dalang's thoughts very well. In his opinion, as long as his brother-in-law became a big shot, it was acceptable for his sister to be a concubine. He believed that his brother-in-law would not treat his sister badly.
This is what a man thinks. He feels that as long as he is a family, he will have the opportunity to ride on Qingyun Road, but he has not thought about his sister's feelings. The difference between his wife and his concubine is huge.
"So that's the case. No wonder my sister feels uncomfortable, hey!" Ling Xiao said softly: "So, has my sister ever thought about choosing another lover?"
Changyun was stunned when she heard this. She never thought that Ling Xiao would ask this. This was definitely beyond Changyun's expectation. She never thought that Ling Xiao would dare to ask this.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao was a little uninterested. Look! I'm afraid even Yang Juan has never thought about marrying another person. Forget it, it's better not to flirt with Yang Juan.
In many cases, it is best for outsiders not to interfere in the affairs of a couple. What if Li Erlang ascends to the throne that day, and will Yang Juan regret it later after she separated from him?
The emperor's concubines were also stronger than ordinary people's wives. Ling Xiao had to pay careful attention to this matter and never interfere in the affairs between husband and wife.
After setting the tone, Ling Xiao would never want to interfere in the other party's affairs. The path she wanted to take was different from Yang Juan's, so she suddenly became lazy and said with a smile: "Ah! What I just said doesn't count, ah
Sister, you can do whatever you want."
Changyun reacted. Although he saw Ling Xiao's reaction was very radical, he couldn't help but feel better after hearing it. Unfortunately, because of the marriage, the marriage would not be dissolved, so he shook his head and said, "My lady has never thought about it.
."
Ling Xiao sighed and clenched his hands into fists and said: "That's right, she shouldn't be able to leave that man, so when you go back, tell me to learn to be tolerant in many cases. Hey! Changyun, there are some things that can only be knocked out.
And swallowed with blood.”
When Changyun heard this, she raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao, whose face was a little dark. Knowing that the other party was very reluctant to continue talking about this matter, she slowly lowered her head, with a bit of helplessness.
She knew that Ling Xiao's thoughts were more for his wife, but as a confidant of Yang Juan, she knew that the marriage between the Li family and the Yang family was not easy to dissolve.
During this period of time, Li Erlang's development outside was very good, and he actually opened up a new situation. If he had to cancel the engagement at this time, it might lead to a revenge in the future. The Yang family really cannot offend the Li family.
The marriage of her wife represents the continuation of the marriage between the Yang family and the Li family. If Yang Juan is unwilling to leave, people will definitely say that there are many problems between the Yang family and the Li family. After comprehensive consideration, Yang Juan
Unable to leave.
And Ling Xiao knew the secrets, but what was sad was that Yang Juan's happiness was not considered by others. Of course, Ling Xiao also knew that Yang Juan herself should not be willing to end this marriage.
The big reason is that Yang Juan is not young anymore. What should she do after the divorce? Should she go back to her parents' house? I'm afraid that her parents' family won't let her stay. After getting married again, she will have to fill in the house.
Maybe both husbands are grandfathers.
Wouldn't this calculation make Yang Juan die of frustration? The gap between husbands is too big, and if Li Erlang ascends to the throne one day, the most unlucky person will definitely be this Yang family lady who doesn't know how to appreciate others.
I'm afraid that Yang Juan and the people she marries will fall into a very miserable situation, and the Yang family will also be laughed at by other families. They obviously have such great glory, but they don't care about it at all.
Ling Xiao, who had thought clearly, could not say anything. He was afraid that both Yang Dalang and Yang Juan would think of the consequences. The whole family would be affected, and they could only accept their fate.
Chang Yun was a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to ask Ling Xiao if she had any good opinions, but Ling Xiao stopped saying anything after confirming that Yang Juan couldn't leave that man. Talking about it would be in vain, so just don't say anything.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was not going to comment on the situation of the Li family, Changyun felt a little disappointed. She hoped that Ling Xiao would say something, preferably to fight the injustice for her wife.
But Ling Xiao is the kind of person who has lived many lives, and he knows very well that once something is decided, it is best not to complain a few words, because the princes of one party may be heard by outsiders and spread to the ears of the person involved.
