1 The heroine in green

During the Yongxi period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a merchant family in Kaifeng, Kyoto. The owner's surname was Zheng Mingdian. He was originally a soldier. In his early years, he accompanied Taizu in the north and south, and made many military exploits. When he was over, he returned to his hometown from the army, and became prosperous in business. He worked in the south of the city.

Yu Wangtai purchased a manor on the side of the Ji River to spend his later years.

Zheng Dian has only one son, named Yong. He is handsome and majestic, with longan eyes and silk eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth. Zheng Yong liked martial arts since he was a child and practiced martial arts. When he was over the age, he married Chen Yuying, the daughter of Chen Liu in Lin County. Chen Yuying

She has fine features and beautiful eyes, and a light and graceful body. Although she is not a lady from a wealthy family, her father is a scholar. She has learned to read and recite poetry with her father since she was a child, and she is quite talented.

During the war between Song and Liao, the Song army was defeated repeatedly, and the border was in a hurry. Renzong issued an order to urgently recruit the world's elite heroes to fight on the battlefield. Although Zheng Yong was married for less than half a year, he resolutely abandoned his family and his wife to serve the country and enlisted.

Enlisted in the army and participated in the war against Liao Dynasty.

The couple couldn't leave each other and shed tears. When they were leaving, Yuying saw her husband outside the village, gave her husband a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and said in tears: "In order to protect the territory of the Song Dynasty, ambitious men should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country.

Husband, take this purse, if you miss your wife, you will see things as you see people..." After saying this, he burst into tears. Zheng Yong took the purse, hugged his wife tightly and said passionately: "I'm leaving here, I don't know when I can come back.

Honoring your parents all depends on a good wife. I will go to the border and kill the enemy bravely to gain military exploits. On the day of victory, I will thank my good wife for her hard work." Zheng Yong got on the horse with tears in his eyes, said goodbye to Yuying, urged the horse to whip, and the horse's hooves clattered as he came closer.

And it gradually faded away, disappearing into the smoke and dust.

Time passed, and Zheng Yong said goodbye. There was no news for five years. Yuying looked forward to the moon every day, hoping that her husband would return to his hometown soon, but she couldn't see her. Winter turned to spring, and one day at noon, Yuying had nothing to do after dinner, so she went to Cuilou alone and lay in bed.

After resting, I missed my husband so much that I couldn't sleep. I got up, opened the window and looked into the distance. I saw green trees and luxuriant grass on both sides of the Huiji River, and the gurgling river under the arch bridge. The beautiful spring scenery came into view, and I missed the husband even more when I touched the scene.

, then he recited a poem and said: "The young woman in the boudoir has never been worried. In the spring, she goes up to the green building with makeup. Suddenly she sees the willow color on the street, and she regrets teaching her husband to look for a title."

Someone outside the door spoke to him and said, "If I had known that I would teach my husband to seek the title of Marquis, why would I encourage him to join the army in the first place?" After saying this, the door curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman appeared at the door. This woman has willow eyebrows, almond eyes, pink face and peach blossoms.

She has an immortal appearance, wearing a tight-fitting green dress and blue trousers, a green scarf on her head, green boots on her feet, a green cloak on her shoulders, and a sword on her back. Yuying asked in shock: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The girl in green clothes smiled and said: "Sister, don't panic, I won't hurt you. Just now I heard that you chanted and regretted teaching your husband and son-in-law to find a prince. You are crazy about thinking about your husband." Yuying turned from shock to shame, her face turned red, and she said:

"No, I have nothing to do. I just chanted it casually. Why do I think about my husband?" The girl in green said with a smile: "Your husband has been at the border for five years, how can I not think about it? Don't be ashamed, I

Now I come here to let you and your husband meet." Yuying asked confusedly, "My husband and I are thousands of miles apart, how can we meet?" The girl in green said: "Sister, please don't worry, I have a horse that travels thousands of miles a day, please keep your thoughts in mind.

It's done." Yuying asked doubtfully, "Don't lie to me. Is there any horse in the world that can travel thousands of miles a day?" The girl in green comforted her, saying, "I have said it, so don't doubt it. Don't worry and do it. It will come true."

!" Yuying missed her husband eagerly and said in letter: "Since you have good intentions, I will follow you." Then she opened the wardrobe and took out cotton clothes to wear.

The woman in green held Yuying's hand and said nothing. Before Yuying could take a step, the two of them flew up, came out of the window, and landed on the back of a horse outside the courtyard. The horse had wings, roared, spread its wings, and leaped into the air with its four hooves.

They got up and galloped towards the north like the wind. The two rode on the horse, Yuying was in front, and the woman in green held the reins behind and supported them tightly. Her cloak was fluttering in the wind. Yuying's eyes were small and she didn't dare to look forward. She only felt the wind in her ears.

The scenery below me passed quickly.

About half an hour later, the woman in green reined in the reins and said: "We're here." The horse folded its wings and slowly landed on the ground. The woman in green supported Yuying and flew off the horse. Yuying stood firm, calmed down, looked around and saw everything.

Everywhere they looked, there were burned military tents and dead bodies. They were horrified. Seeing Yuying's color change, the woman in green comforted her and said: "I'm here, don't be afraid. This is Yulin at the border. Last night, there was a fierce battle between Song and Liao. Liao was defeated and abandoned."

They camped and fled, but the burned military tent was abandoned by the Liao army." Yuying felt a little relieved after hearing this.

At this time, although spring is warm and flowers are blooming in the Central Plains, the ground here is freezing and the weather is cold. The cold wind blows, and Yuying suddenly feels chilly. The woman in green clothes leads Yuying to the half-ruined tent, where there is a bed. The woman in blue clothes said: "You are on the ground for a while."

The bed is waiting for her. I call your husband, but you must not leave the tent." Yuying nodded in response, and the woman in green flew out of the tent. Yuying sat on the bed and waited for her. After a moment, she heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps outside the tent.

At the sound of the sound, I saw the curtain opened and two people came in. The former was a woman in blue, and the latter was wearing a helmet and armor. He was majestic and handsome. He was none other than Zheng Yongye! The couple reunited after a long separation. They were overjoyed and looked at each other affectionately. The woman in green saw them.

, withdrew and said: "I went outside the tent to see the military situation, and you and your wife expressed their longing for each other by slowly talking to each other." After saying this, he retreated outside the tent.

The husband and wife hugged each other and talked to each other. Yuying said: "Husband, you have been in the army for five years. I don't know where you are stationed? Why are there no letters?" Zheng Yong said: "Madam, not a day goes by that I don't miss you and my parents.

You gave me the purse and I took it with me. Every time I miss you, I take it out..." Before he finished speaking, he took out the purse. The two of them held hands and looked at each other, showing a deep friendship. Zheng Yong took off his armor, and the couple undressed and lay down together on the ground.

bed……

At this time, I suddenly heard a woman in green shouting from outside the tent: "You and your wife, get up quickly, a group of Liao soldiers are coming!" The couple hurriedly got up to dress, Zheng Yong was busy putting on his clothes. In the panic, his purse fell to the bed.

Yuying hurriedly picked it up and put it in her arms. At this time, the Liao soldiers were approaching, and the sound of horse hooves became closer and closer.

Zheng Yong led his wife out of the tent in a hurry, carrying a gun. The woman in green held a sword and helped Yuying get into the horse. Hundreds of Liao soldiers came here to collect the corpses. When they saw enemies in the camp, they shouted to surround them. Zheng Yong held a gun in front of him.

After the fight, the girl in green swung her sword like flying with extraordinary luck. All the Liao soldiers who came close to the front were killed, so they retreated one after another. They drew their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows came like locusts. The girl in green swung her sword like a flywheel, spinning around.

The carved feathers clattered to the ground.

The three of them broke through the encirclement and looked back, seeing that the enemy soldiers were far away. When the three of them arrived at the Song camp, Zheng Yong said: "Thank you very much, Miss, for your help. I am currently busy with official duties and cannot invite the Miss to enter the camp to rest. Besides, the marshal has

Order, wives and children are not allowed in the camp. I hope my wife will forgive me." The woman in green said: "General Zheng, in this case, we have to break up. Can you and your wife have a word?" Yuying said: "This is not the place for conversation, so I have to say goodbye.

, I hope that your husband will bravely kill the enemy and achieve great military exploits, and I will go home and wait for the good news to come."

The couple shed tears to say goodbye, the woman in green whipped her whip, the horse whistled and flapped its wings, leaping into the air. Just like when they came, Yuying closed her eyes and felt the wind in her ears. In less than half an hour, the wind suddenly stopped. Yuying opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on her back.

On the bed in Cuilou, she quickly turned over and sat up. She saw that the scenery outside the window was still the same, but the sun was already setting in the west. Yuying was in a trance, as if she had woken up from a dream, but she saw that she was indeed wearing cotton clothes. She touched it into her arms, her purse was still there, and she felt that her lower body was sticky.

, then I realized that it was not a dream, and I actually met my husband and slept with him in the same bed. I recalled the thrill of breaking through the siege just now, and I was still frightened. Thanks to the help of the girl in green, I escaped from death. Who is this girl in green? She is not a human, but an immortal.

, What is the relationship between her and my husband? Yuying could not explain the reason, and she did not dare to tell her parents-in-law about this strange encounter.

After February, Yuying's period was not yet due, and she found out that she was pregnant. She did not dare to announce it, but her belly was getting bigger. How could she hide it? Her parents-in-law saw this and became suspicious. After June, on this day, her parents-in-law called Yuying to the front of the hall.

Mother-in-law Zou asked, "Yuying, are you pregnant?" Yuying said the truth and knelt down and said, "Tell mother, I am already pregnant with Liujia." Zou became furious and scolded her, "You and me?"

Who knows? You have ruined my reputation in the Zheng family, and you have brought it upon you!" Yuying said hurriedly: "Mom, please calm down, I have never had any bad relations with anyone, and the son in my womb is the work of my husband Zheng Yong." After hearing this, Mrs. Zou stood up.

He angrily slapped Yuying in the face and shouted: "My son has not returned from the army for five years. Where did he come from?" After being beaten, Yuying's eyes flashed with stars, and she fell to the ground. However, she was not afraid of being beaten. She only felt aggrieved and cheered up.

Courageously but truthfully said: "Mom, please stop blaming your daughter-in-law. Wait until I tell you the secret behind it..." Yuying then recounted the adventure she had had half a year ago.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zou sneered and said, "Don't you make up weird things to deceive me. How can I believe it?" Yuying took the purse from her arms and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare. I have the purse as proof. This purse was from when my husband went to war."

This is what I keep as a souvenir. On that day, when the Liao soldiers came and killed me, my husband was in a panic and threw it on the ground. I picked it up and put it in my arms. This purse can prove it."

Father-in-law Zheng Dian intervened and asked: "I find it difficult to believe what you said. I ask you, who is this girl in green clothes? Can you find her and see her here? Furthermore, what is the relationship between the girl in green clothes and my son?"

?Why do you not hesitate to work hard to achieve its beauty?" Yuying hesitated and said: "I didn't have time to ask about it because it came and went so quickly...It's really hard for me to say..." Zheng Dian said: "If you say this, how can I believe it?

"My son has not returned home. How can you not be laughed at if you give birth to a son here? Wouldn't it disgrace the Zheng family?..." He pondered for a moment and then continued: "I have a temporary plan. I will send forty taels of silver."

With you, you will return to your parents' home for the time being. After the birth, your parents will raise him temporarily. When my son returns from the army and returns to his hometown, I will ask you about this matter and it will not be too late to take you home." After saying this, he ordered people to collect the silver. Zou's family

His face was still full of anger, he waved his sleeves and shouted: "If you think about it again in the future, just take the money and roll it away!" After saying this, he went into the inner room angrily.

Yuying took the silver coins, went back to the house to pack her luggage, slung her backpack across her body, and left the Zheng Mansion alone. She walked south for about ten miles and arrived at the Wohe River. On the south bank was Chenliu Ye, not far from her home.

. He stood by the river, feeling aggrieved and sad, thinking: How can I tell my parents to be relieved when I return home in this situation? If my parents don't believe what I say, how can I live in this world with dignity? It's better to die! Yuying stared blankly and gasped.

The running water was rushing, and he closed his eyes and was about to jump. At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his shoulder, asking: "Sister, you should think about your husband and the baby, and can you bear the baby in your belly to be used as bait with you?"

" Yuying was surprised. Looking behind her, she saw that the one who stopped her from drowning was a woman in green! Yuying cried as if seeing relatives and friends and said: "Xiangu, please save me from the sea of ​​suffering. I..." The woman in green comforted and said: "Don't call me that.

, My surname is Yuelan, just call me Yuelan. Sister, how could you commit suicide like this? Don’t seek short-sightedness and be foolish for a moment." Yuying asked, "Now that things have happened, I am at a loss. My parents-in-law are suspicious of me.

If I have an affair, please ask Miss Gu to testify for me in order to protect my virginity." Yue Lan advised: "No, you can't commit suicide; you can't go back to your parents' home; you can't go back to the Zheng family, and I can't testify with you either.

If you return to the Zheng family, even if your father-in-law and mother-in-law believe it, how can you make everyone believe it? People say that you can be afraid of something as fierce as a tiger." Yuying asked, "How to explain this? Miss Gu, please tell me." Yuelan said, "Your Majesty.

I don’t know, but a few days ago the war at the border was unfavorable. Your husband was besieged by Liao soldiers and was seriously injured. Now he is recuperating at my house. I came here to look for you today, hoping that you could come with me to visit your husband." Yuying heard that her husband was seriously injured and was very anxious.

Asked: "Miss Gu, where does your family live? Take me there quickly." Yuelan said: "My family lives at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. Please follow me there quickly. I will tell you more when I get home."

The two rode on Pegasus again and stopped for a short time in front of a house. The gate tower of this house was towering, the door was dark, and the momentum was extraordinary. Yue Lan opened the door, and the two entered the hospital. The main hall and wing rooms in the courtyard were neat and orderly, and the halls and corridors were adjacent to each other.

, the courtyard is deep. When you enter the main hall, you will find square tables, chairs, coffee tables, and various furniture and furnishings in antique style.

Entering the main hall, Yuying had not yet sat down and asked urgently: "Where is my husband? Hurry and show me." Yuelan smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, wait until I call the maid to show you." Then she called the maid to come and ordered her to come.

He said: "You take this eldest sister to the inner room to see her husband. I will change my clothes and then go there."

Zheng Yong was resting in bed when he suddenly saw Yuying arriving. He was extremely surprised. He struggled to get up and asked, "Madam, why are you here?" Seeing that her husband was still alive, Yuying was also surprised and cried, "Since I separated from you last time, I have been pregnant.

My body is now sixty. My parents kicked me out of the house because they suspected that I was having an affair. I was so humiliated that I wanted to drown myself in a river to show my virginity. Fortunately, Miss Gu rescued me in time and I was able to escape the disaster. Qi Yanjun was seriously injured.

You brought me here to visit, but I wonder how you injured me?" Zheng Yongwei said: "My injury is gradually recovering, Madam, don't worry. A few days ago, the Liao soldiers marched south in large numbers and were surrounded at Pianguan Pass. In order to relieve the siege, I followed the army to attack the enemy's rear.

I was ambushed by the enemy, trapped in a tight siege, and seriously injured. At the critical moment, Miss Gu suddenly rushed in and rescued me and my brothers. I lost too much blood and fainted. I was rescued here for treatment. My brothers saw that I was getting better.

He has returned to camp and will come back when I recover from my injuries." Yuying asked in confusion: "Miss Gu is a lifesaver. She has saved my husband and I in danger many times. I wonder what your relationship is with her?" Zheng Yong also asked in confusion:

"I was about to ask you, what is the relationship between Miss Gu and you?" Yuying replied: "I have never met her..." Zheng Yong asked, "This is strange, it is so mysterious, it is not ordinary people, this must be

There is a reason."

At this time, laughter came from the outer room. Gu Yuelan had finished changing her clothes and opened the curtain to go inside. The two of them hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you Miss Gu for your kindness in rescuing me. My husband and I are very grateful. I don't know what kind of kindness my husband and I have. Let Miss

Such deep love?" Yuelan smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite to the husband and wife. This is not the time to explain. We will talk about it later. Now I ask General Zheng to rest in peace and recover from his injuries. I hope he will recover soon." Yuying said: "Yes."

It's a troublesome time, and my husband and I feel sorry for each other." Yuelan said: "Don't say this, I just hope that the war will end soon, the people will be out of trouble, and you and your wife will reunite and return home happily as soon as possible." Yuying said: "Song and Liao fought wars, and each other won.

Negative, inside and outside the Great Wall, corpses are everywhere, bones are piled up, the people are devastated, and the people are suffering. I don’t know when this will stop?" Yuelan said: "This is the fault of the emperors on both sides. They fought to expand their power, and the people suffered.

Yes! General Zheng, the soldiers are suffering at the border, but you don’t know that the corrupt officials in the rear are spending money like water and enjoying themselves extravagantly. I advise you that you don’t need to return to the camp after you recover from your injuries, so just leave it at that.” Zheng Yong said: “How can we do this, go to the border for private purposes?

Escape is the crime of destroying the family. Once you enter the official gate, you can't help yourself. Furthermore, if no one resists the invasion of Liao soldiers, won't the people suffer even more disasters?" Yue Lan said: "General Zheng is loyal to the country, which is really commendable.

Jia, but at the moment it’s best to take care of yourself.”

A hundred days later, when Zheng Yong was recovering from his injuries, Yuying gave birth to a baby boy. Everyone was happy and everyone in the ancient government congratulated her. At this time, Song and Liao stopped fighting and made peace, and the good news spread, and all the people were happy.

One day, a maid came in to report that someone from the Song camp was outside Yan's mansion, asking to see General Zheng. Yuelan hurriedly invited him into the hall, and the visitor said to Zheng Yong: "Now the war has stopped, both sides have made peace, the troops and horses have been reduced, and the marshal has

You may return home with honor." After saying that, he left the certificate and said goodbye. Zheng Yongxi said: "Miss Gu, the war has stopped. My husband and I have lived here for more than a hundred days. This is not a long-term solution. Now I
