Chapter 24: Travel
Because of the hornet's nest incident, Shen restrained Dugu Weiwei to take her out as little as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ladies still have a lot of entertainment on weekdays, either the birthday of this old Fengjun, or the full moon of the child.
But the Shen family was really afraid of his daughter's ability to get into trouble, so he tried not to bring Dugu Weiwei when he went out.
Dugu Weiwei was bored and ate at home, and after the braised pork, she asked the cook to make several dishes with pork as the material according to her ideas. It really made the whole family feast, and they all got a little fat.
Later, after Du Yan came, he pestered Du Yan to either tell the story of the rivers and lakes, or to teach her kung fu. The little ones have a full schedule every day, and they don't go out to play noisily.
Du Yan has been in the Governor's Mansion for more than a month, and he is extremely satisfied with the stable life of the Governor's Mansion.
Dugu Wei only got some unheard of food from time to time and sent it over, seeing that his body was getting fat day by day, he was afraid that one day he would not be able to fly again.
Dugu Weize and Dugu Weize get up every morning, practice martial arts for an hour, go to the state to study at the hour, and use lunch in school. At the beginning of the afternoon, I returned home and practiced martial arts with retired veterans for another hour at the school field of the government office, and then it was time for dinner.
Although Dugu Weiwei is a girl, she is very interested in martial arts, and every afternoon when her two brothers come back, she will also go to the school to practice with her.
Dugu Shaotang is extremely strict with his two sons, and every day he makes people stare at practicing boxing and kicking, riding and shooting, rain or shine, and does not relax for a moment.
is laissez-faire to her daughter, and when the weather is bad, she always persuades the little girl to go back to the house to rest, saying that her father and brother will protect her and take care of her, and she doesn't need to practice martial arts. On the contrary, the little girl likes it very much, and insists on practicing with her two brothers every day.
Du Yan knows his responsibilities, every time Dugu Weiwei goes to the school, he will follow him every step of the way.
Dugu Weize is fourteen years old, Dugu Weiheng is also twelve, and his kung fu practice is extremely solid. Du Yan sometimes has itchy hands, and he will also make a few moves with them, and he will also give them a few tips on light body kung fu when he is interested.
Du Yan is good at small and easy kung fu, which is most suitable for a young girl like Dugu Weiwei who has a soft body and little strength.
The Dugu brothers learned the kung fu of opening and closing, lifting weights and being suitable for killing the enemy, but it was not learned by a delicate little girl like Dugu Weiwei.
Since studying with Du Yan, Dugu Wei is like a fish in water, and he is extremely serious in learning. In addition to fist and foot kung fu, Dugu Weiwei is also interested in riding and shooting.
Dugu Shaotang also specially looked for a docile pony for her, and taught her personally when he had time. In addition, small bows and arrows were specially ordered, as well as small crossbows and small hand crossbows for her to learn to play.
Dugu Weiwei practiced well, although he was still young and his hand strength was insufficient, but his accuracy was already excellent, which impressed the martial arts masters who taught the Dugu brothers to ride and shoot.
Even the boudoir with her did not look like a girl at all, and swords, bows and arrows, and crossbows hung all over the walls.
The weather is getting cooler, and it's already winter. Dugu Weiwei is on the rise because he first practiced martial arts, and he doesn't go out in a hurry. After these days, that momentum gradually passed, and I couldn't stay at home anymore.
Gu Shaotang Shaotang Shaotang responded to his daughter's needs, and took Dugu Weiwei to Hongqiao to play in person.
He wrapped his daughter in a big cloak, put it in front of the horse, and took Du Yan and a personal soldier named Sanqing out together.
Go east out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, turn south in front of the gate of the Jiedu Mansion in the middle of Zhongzheng Street, cross an arch bridge, and immediately increase the number of people and horses.
This street is built on Bensui and is called Bensui Street. There are many shops on both sides of the road, including restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops, and workshops.
There are all kinds of people coming and going on the streets. The burden-bearers, the performers, the fortune tellers, the beggars, the men, the women and the young, the scholars, the peasants, the industrialists, the three religions and the nine streams, converge into a thing called the world.
Dugu Weiwei sat in front of his father's horse and walked through the bustling crowd. It is flanked by quaint buildings under various guises. There is a lot of traffic around him, and people in robes and heads, coming and going, leisurely.
She suddenly felt out of place here, everyone around her seemed to be in another dimension, and she was having a bizarre dream.
From time to time, I flashed to myself in strange navy blue clothes, wearing a bowler hat of the same color on his head, with a half-moon brim in front of the hat, and a belt around his waist, laughing with several people in the same costume.
She was a little confused, not knowing what these pictures represented, whether it was an experience from her previous life......
“…… Would you like to taste it......" Dugu Shaotang asked.
"Ah, what did you say, what did you taste, Daddy?" Dugu Weiwei woke up suddenly, shook his head, and those sudden pictures and strange emotions receded like a tide, as if he had a bizarre dream.
Dugu Shaotang rubbed her head and asked with a smile: "What do you want? I haven't heard anything to you for a long time." There is a dim sum shop in front, do you want to buy some of them and try them?"
Dugu Weiwei did not refuse to eat it, but after thinking about it, he said: "Don't worry now, let's buy it when we come back, so as to save the inconvenience of bringing a lot of things to play." ”
Dugu Shaotang did not insist.
After a little further walking, you will reach the gate of the city. A few sergeants guarded at the door, and when they saw Dugu Shaotang from a distance, they immediately straightened their bodies, clasped their fists with both hands and were waiting to come forward to salute, but Dugu Shaotang waved his hand to stop them.
Dugu Shaotang is the governor of Benzhou military horses, and he also leads the garrison of the city, and the city gate Lang will know himself.
Out of the city gate, I saw Qianmo vertical and horizontal, and the fields were in order. On both sides of the road were willow trees, their branches bare, and yellow leaves piled up all over the ground. There are grass huts and tiled houses hidden among the branches, and farmers can be seen working in the fields in the distance.
About two miles ahead, it gradually became lively, and you can see the high arched Hongqiao in the distance.
There is a lot of traffic on the bridge, and boats shuttle under the bridge. The mast in the river rushed to the sky, and the slender men on the river bank shouted in unison.
The people on the road are noisy and roaring, rubbing shoulders, and in the willow forest beside the road, they are leaning on the trees and chatting, or sitting on the ground to rest. As far as the eye can see, it is a busy and prosperous scene.
There are many people, Dugu Shaotang simply dismounted, and still let his daughter sit on the horse, holding the reins to protect him. Du Yan followed a soldier named Sanqing from left to right.
Dugu Weiwei had a wide field of vision on the horse, and after walking for a long time, he saw a group of people in front of him on the right, and one of the people in the crowd was boxing.
Hurriedly stretched out his finger and gestured to go. Sitting on the horse and unable to get to him, Dugu Shaotang simply picked her up and put her on his shoulders and squeezed into the crowd.
I saw a big man in the circle, with a bearded halberd and a halberd, beating a set of punches shirtless.
Dugu Weiwei is learning kung fu these days, and he feels that he can be regarded as a "fellow believer" with that man, whether he understands it or not, he nods again and again, which makes people laugh.
This big man punches with the wind, and his body is condensed, and every time he splatters high dust on the ground with one foot. When it hits a rare place, each punch seems to be able to roll up a circle of air, and anyone standing close can feel the strong wind in their faces.
Everyone involuntarily let out a "good", mixed with a crisp and immature child's voice, but it was Dugu Weiwei who saw the forgetfulness.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was a child, and they all smiled. There was a man in brocade clothes and a bearded suit in the middle, who looked like he was in his forties, and when he saw her Yuxue cute, he couldn't help but tease: "Can the little girl understand?"
Duguwei only replied seriously: "The little girl can naturally understand." Can Uncle understand?"
The man laughed and said to Dugu Shaotang: "It's really interesting to make love, brother Tai is so blessed." ”
Dugu Shaotang had a straight face, nodded and said, "That's nature." ”
The man couldn't help but smile again.
After a set of punches, the big man was already drenched in sweat. The crowd applauded and cheered, and a woman with a tray nodded one by one.
Dugu Weiwei knew that this was a reward, and bowed her head to her father with some excitement: "Daddy, give more." ”
Sanqing next to him hurriedly took out a handful of copper coins and put them in the tray. The woman thanked her again and again.
After watching the boxing, Dugu Shaotang still put his daughter on the horse. Sanqing hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse, and Du Yan and Dugu Shaotang protected them one by one.
After walking for a short distance, Dugu Weiwei turned his head and saw that the middle-aged man in brocade clothes and bearded clothes just now was discussing something with the big man who was boxing.
Dugu Weiwei motioned for her father to look at it and asked, "Does Daddy know what they're talking about?"
Dugu Shaotang turned his head to take a look, continued to walk forward, and explained to his daughter: "I guess I took a fancy to that person's skills and wanted to take it for my own use." ”
Dugu Weiwei said: "That uncle's kung fu is very good, why doesn't he go to join the army? ”
Dugu Shaotang smiled, "What does the little girl know, she knows whether her kung fu is good or not, and she also knows that joining the army can make a good future." ”
Dugu Weiwei pouted and said, "I just know, I know." ”
Behind him, Du Yan and Sanqing also smiled, and Du Yan said: "Miss's vision is really good, that person's kung fu just now is very good, if he joins the army, he will definitely be a fierce general." ”
Dugu Shaotang had some thoughts in his heart.
In the previous dynasty, soldiers were recruited and had to prepare their own food, clothing, horses, and weapons.
Where do ordinary people prepare these things, they often spend all their wealth, and the Quartet borrows money to barely get through. The soldiers left with their belongings, and their families were burdened with these debts, and they did not know how much hardship they had to endure to pay them off.
Not to mention these, the former dynasty divided the feudal towns, and the imperial court frequently used soldiers, resulting in an unknown number of soldiers killed in battle. In addition to depriving ordinary soldiers of their property, the border generals often made their soldiers perform hard labor after the war, and these soldiers often managed to save their lives on the battlefield, but were tortured to death by their own generals.
For various reasons, the people talked about military service. Many people would rather drag their families with them, leave their homes, or even flee to the mountains, rather than serve in the military.
Now, although a new dynasty has been established, the conscription system has changed a lot. But the people's reluctance to serve in the military is deeply rooted, and there is still a long way to go to change this situation.
Dugu Wei only saw her father's thoughtful look, his eyes widened, and he stared straight at him.
Dugu Shaotang couldn't help laughing, he rubbed his daughter's head, and said, "Daddy will talk to you again when I have time." ”
He didn't think his daughter was too young, these things were too complicated for her to listen to. He just simply thinks that his daughter shouldn't just be a daughter who hides in the boudoir and doesn't eat the fireworks in the world.
She should have a broad mind and vision to cope with all kinds of complicated situations when she grows up. It's just that these things are too complicated, and I can't explain them in a few words, so I want to analyze them one by one with my daughter when I go back.
Dugu Weiwei was not entangled, and looked away with great interest.
Dugu Shaotang was very satisfied with his daughter's well-behaved and sensible, and reached out to touch her head lovingly.
