"Miss Li doesn't know that Artistry shoes are also made by me, which can be regarded as the first to create a trend. Miss Li is everyone, and you can like it, which shows the future of Artistry shoes. I am careful, I hope Miss Li can be in Jiangnan Please help me a lot."
Speaking of Artistry shoes, Xu Ruolin did not hide them and directly stated her intentions.
Li Zhenli was still a little uncomfortable with this straightforward way of talking.
But he is short-tongued and soft-handed.
"The slave family..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xu Ruoxin.
"Miss Li, I want you to know. Now there are regulations in Shandong that women cannot call themselves slaves. Men and women are equal, how can they be slaves or maids?"
Li Zhenli was so shocked that she completely forgot her original remarks.
Although I already knew that women were respected here, I still felt happy when I really heard the words "equality between men and women" and the joyful feeling of breaking through the cage and reaching the sky.
She adjusted her thoughts and said with emotion: "General Zuo is really a strange man in the world, slave... I have never seen anyone who respects us women and children as much as he does."
Not being allowed to call herself a slave, Li Zhenli didn't know what to do for a while, so she simply used the modest title of "little lady".
There is no prohibition in Shandong, and the Xu sisters do not force it.
Speaking of Zuo Menggeng's attitude towards equality between men and women, Xu Ruolin was really sweet to the core of her heart and felt extremely proud.
"A humble man once said, who said women are inferior to men? Women can hold up half the sky. I used to not understand what he meant, but now women are showing up everywhere in Shandong, and what they do is no worse than men. Miss Li doesn't know something. , even in this Yazi factory, most of the workers are women. With their hard work to support their families, they have become the mainstay of the family, and they naturally become tougher in their speech, and are more respected by others. "
Li Zhenli's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt more and more that Shandong was a land of gods.
I want to meet Zuo Mengeng even more and express my respect to him in person.
"Last time in Nanjing, the little girl made a fool of herself in front of the driver, but she bumped into General Zuo. After returning home, the little girl worked hard to practice her skills and achieved some success. She just thought that she could be honored to invite General Zuo to taste them, so as to have a long-cherished wish. "
Xu Ruolin and Xu Ruoxin couldn't help but smile. They had no idea that Li Zhenli was so worried about what happened in Nanjing.
However, when talking about Li Zhenli's musical skills, Xu Ruolin suddenly thought of something and showed a surprised look.
"Oh, I forgot, Miss Li is the master of Qule. It happens that there is something difficult here. I wonder if I can ask for advice?"
Li Zhenli thought that Zuofu was going to hold a banquet and wanted to invite herself to the party.
"My wife has a destiny, I dare not refuse."
Seeing her promise, Xu Ruolin was extremely happy, but what she said was completely different from what Li Zhenli thought.
"Currently, our New Army is quelling the Dongjiang Rebellion, and the soldiers on the front line are fighting very hard. So I thought of forming a cultural troupe to perform at the front line. He made a song, but no one here knows how to compose it. I don't know. Can you ask Miss Li for help?"
Li Zhenli heard a lot of words in a daze. In fact, it was the first time for her to hear many of these terms.
Fortunately, she still understands the word "music making", which happens to be her strong point.
"Can I please see the music, little lady?"
At the same time she was still confused.
Since it is said to be a piece of music, how can there be a problem of making it?
And that young general who looks like Xiong Zan is actually proficient in music?
Xu Ruolin smiled and said: "Now the music is at the art troupe, let's go over and have a look?"
The guest followed the host, and Li Zhenli had nothing to do. She followed the Xu sisters out of Zuofu, all the way to the outside of the city, and finally arrived at the military camp near Zuozhuang.
This is no longer the main base of the New Army, but has become the office of the Political Department.
Zuo Menggeng is naturally well aware of the role of literature and art in promoting propaganda and boosting morale. As the construction of the new army became increasingly stable, various functional departments began to be added to it.
The art troupe was placed under the jurisdiction of the Political Department by Zuo Menggeng and placed under the management of Huang Zongxi.
But this was my first time doing this. After Zuo Mengeng came up with the idea, he had too many things to do and couldn't take care of it in Denglai. So when the art troupe was founded, everything was rough.
Currently, there are only about ten people in the entire group, most of whom play drums and sing quick songs.
There is also an actor who sings Kunqu opera.
The most important thing is that these people are illiterate and their ability to sing and act is all learned stuff, which does not meet the needs of the New Army's propaganda at all.
There is no other way, Zuo Mengeng still has to come up with works despite his busy schedule.
But the problem is that the songs he made are all from later generations.
He can give his singing skills to the art troupe, but he doesn't know the melody and can't compose the music.
There is no music, just relying on word of mouth, who knows where it will go in the future.
Finding people who know how to compose music has become the top priority of the art troupe.
It wasn't until today when Li Zhenli came to visit that Xu Ruolin remembered that she was one of the top music masters in Jiangnan.
This was Li Zhenli's first time walking into the military camp, and it was impossible to say she wasn't nervous.
In the past, she would avoid soldiers whenever she could, for fear of getting into trouble.
Even the generals I met were all rude and disgusting.
They were all very beautiful women. Is it really okay to just go into the military camp like that?
However, when she arrived at the door, she felt something different.
The two guards, one on the left and one on the right, always stood upright, like sculptures.
On the sentry post at the back, the guards with guns were always watching with eager eyes, which made people feel frightened and did not dare to mess around.
Even though the visitor was Xu Ruolin, the guards still carefully checked something called "certificate" and even ran in to ask for permission before letting them go.
Xu Ruoxin muttered next to Li Zhenli, with obvious resentment in her tone.
"Brother-in-law, it's true. We are all his soldiers, yet he treats us like this."
Xu Ruolin heard it and taught while walking.
"Your brother-in-law said that the army has its own rules, which are completely different from the outside world. You and I are not members of the army, and we should not mess around. Otherwise, the rules will lose their prestige, military discipline will be corrupted, and those jackals of the Ming Dynasty will What’s the difference?”
Li Zhenli couldn't help but secretly gasped after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Menggeng's rules were so strict that even his wife was not allowed to enter or leave the military camp at will.
After walking inside, Li Zhenli discovered that the place was extremely clean.
Everything has a sense of order. Not only people, but also houses and roads, it seems that even the trees on the roadside have to abide by certain rules.
She looked carefully and thought to herself that even the residence she had carefully organized seemed far inferior to this place.
Just as he was surprised, he saw groups of soldiers running on the playground next door. The queue was also so neat that no one could fault it, but the man's bold singing that came with the sound of the wind suddenly stopped her in her tracks.
The smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword air is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years...
The violent and bold aura that hit her face made Li Zhenli unable to stand and was on the verge of falling.
What's even more rare is that the lyrics of this piece of music are really good.
It may sound very simple at first, but it can make people excited and excited.
This piece of music is very weird, something Li Zhenli has never heard before, but it is so amazing.
Of course she didn't know that this was a work from the era of later music technology.
"This kind of music...this kind of music..."
In a daze, she was a little confused and didn't know what to ask.
Xu Ruolin stopped and stared at those steel-like soldiers, feeling proud that her husband had such subordinates.
"This is one of the tunes composed by Clumsy Man. He called it "Serving the Country with Loyalty" and designated it as the military song of our new army.
Li Zhenli was shocked again.
She was already surprised when she heard that Zuo Mengeng knew how to compose music.
Now that she heard it in person, this gripping and indescribably good piece of music seemed to have opened up a whole new world for her.
