Chapter 40: Apprenticeship and Martial Arts
"The account room is still in the other courtyard." A voice outside the car replied.
Ying Su lowered his head and took out a silk scarf from the drawer under the small table in front of him, wiped his fingers carefully, and said lightly: "Clean up." β
The so-called cleaning up is to make this person completely disappear in this world......
"Yes." Someone outside the car answered.
"Slow!" Before the words fell, Ying Su changed his mind.
Thinking of some of the things Yue Xi had said to him, Ying Su called out to the shadow guard outside: "Don't harm his life, give him some silver taels." Send him to a place where he can never return to the imperial capital. β
"Yes." The person outside the car answered again.
Yue Xi said to Ying Su that everyone's life is incomparably precious, and she would not harm the lives of others lightly, saying that it was a desecration of human life...... Of course, when she encounters a brute like Han Er, she won't be soft when she sees it!
"Lady, you see, for the sake of your words, for the sake of your husband, you can leave the person who should be killed, isn't it too useless......"
Throwing the silk scarf into the corner of the carriage, Ying Su held the bamboo basket with the baked cake in his arms and muttered to himself.
β¦β¦
After Yue Xi and the others joined up, they stayed in a small fishing village for two more days, then packed their luggage and continued on their way.
She had her own ideas about where to go, especially after listening to Ying Su's JianyΓ¬, she made a decisive decision: "Keep going south!" β
This was a decision that ran counter to the Emperor Majesty's decision.
A few days later, just when Ying Su was about to enter the imperial capital, he received this secret guarantee, and his face was blackened at that time.
On the surface, Yue Xi's trip to Beijing was to take everyone around to see the scenery everywhere, but in fact, it was also purposeful.
The business of the Taiping Bureau was stable, and the daily inflow and output of silver was almost capped, and if it wanted to expand its income, it was necessary to open up new financial routes.
Yue Xi asked herself that there was nothing extraordinary, only that she had lived two lives and had more knowledge than others, so this was the capital for her to settle down, and she must make good use of it.
Although the Dongyi Road is peaceful, it is sparsely populated, and most of the people there are nomadic herders, driving livestock to migrate along the pastures, and there is no fixed place to live.
Yue Xi naturally did not choose to go to Dongyi.
She wants to do business, to do the business of the living, and of course she has to go to places where there are many people.
"If you eat this again, you'll go to another car!" Yue Xi stretched out his foot and kicked Xilai, who was sitting in the carriage.
The little thing was eating grilled dried fish, which he bought at the market before leaving Funing.
When you bake it when you eat it, the scales on the small fish will be densely populated, and Yue Xi's scalp will be numb when she sees it!
And Xilai has never eaten this kind of small sea fish with less spines and more meat since he was born, and he couldn't stop eating it, so he asked Yunhua to help roast more than a dozen before getting on the bus in the morning, and he couldn't stop eating all the way.
Yue Xi smelled that there was an indescribable fishy smell everywhere in the car, and she couldn't bear it, she spoke: "Don't eat this in front of me in the future, it's stinky!" β
"Stinky?" Xilai put his little hand in front of his nose and sniffed hard: "Does it stink?" It doesn't stink......"
"If it doesn't stink, you can eat in other cars, don't eat at my place." Yue Xi stretched out his hand to hang the curtains on both sides of the carriage, allowing the wind outside to come in and blow the smell inside.
"Daddy doesn't like it, so I won't eat it." Clapping his little hands, Xilai wrapped the small fish that had eaten half of the remaining fish in oil paper and put it at the door of the carriage, smiled at Yue Xi, he took out the short sword hanging on his waist, and couldn't put it down.
"That's the blade, watch your hands." Yue Xi glanced at him and reminded.
"Will Daddy make this? Teach me, I'm going to protect Daddy! Xilai climbed to Yue Xi's feet and leaned on her leg and said.
Yue Xi leaned over and touched his hair, and then frowned: "After staying at night, you hurry up and wash Lao Tzu well, take a look at the smell of fish in your body, and then call the wild cat back!" β
"Hey, hey!" Xilai lowered her head and took out an oiled paper bag from her arms and threw it at the door.
"Wow! I also know that it is hidden and tucked! Yue Xi came to the spirit, kept touching the little things, and the itchy Xilai writhed and rolled on the ground: "No, really no...... Daddy, don't touch it again......"
"I don't believe it!" Pulling down the shirt of the little thing, Yue Xi slapped his round little buttocks: "Is it really gone?" β
"Not really!" Xilai broke free from Yue Xi's hands, took off his pants in two, lifted his small robe and revealed his smooth body and said, "Look at ......"
"Put it on, watch out for the cold!" Yue Xi pulled him into his arms, reached out and lifted his pants to help him put them on his legs, and helped him tie his belt, then he took the short sword in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The sword was given by Ying Su himself, so naturally it can't be second.
Yue Xi took it and compared the length of Xilai's legs, and then said: "This sword is relatively short, light and thin, don't hang it on your waist in the future, it's too dazzling." β
"Where is it hanging?" Xilai loves this short sword very much, and has reached the point where she can't put it down. Hearing what Yue Xiyi said, he raised his head nervously and asked, "Is Daddy going to take it first?" β
"This is an object given by His Majesty the Emperor, and I can't accept it." Yue Xi pulled Xilai to sit down and said to him: "The weapon should be placed in the place where it is most convenient for you to use, so that when you use it, you can pull it out as quickly as possible and play the role of its weapon." β
The Tsing Yi knight, who was riding on his horse and following both sides of the carriage, nodded his head unconsciously.
"Hanging in such a conspicuous place on the waist is easy to be guarded against, and it is not the best way." Yue Xi pointed to a pair of boots at the door of the carriage and said, "You can try to put it in the boot barrel, which is convenient and hidden." β
"Daddy, this method is good!" Xilai was shorter than a doll of the same age, he stood up straight and walked to the door of the carriage, carried his two boots and walked back, and sat down beside Yue Xi before he was about to put them on, Yue Xi bent down and scooped up his little feet and took him
He scooped up his little feet and tugged the cuffs of his shirt into his suit, tied them with leggings, and then motioned for him to put on his boots.
Inserting the dagger into the boot along the outside of the thigh, and then lowering the outer robe, it was hidden properly.
"Remember to put it in with the sheath, or you will have to cut off your feet!" Yue Xi reminded sternly.
"I remember." The little thing nodded immediately.
"I've found you a master...... Yue Xi pulled Xilai to sit beside her, her eyes glanced out casually, and she grinned when she saw the Tsing Yi guard who was not far away and not close to her carriage......
The kung fu on these people is real kung fu, there is no showmanship, and inviting them to teach Xilai is much more reliable than the martial arts halls on the market that open and collect pictures.
In the evening, when the sun was turned west, the convoy found a relatively large inn and stayed.
Yue Xi specially asked Gao Gonggong to charter a floor in the restaurant in front of the inn and booked four tables of banquets.
I don't pay attention to going out, and I use a screen to separate the table of wine banquets inside and let Jin Niang and her women sit, but Yue Xi, who is dressed as a man, sits outside and drinks with those guards.
Although those people in the dart bureau couldn't see Yue Xi's identity, they were inexplicably confined to a place for a few days to eat and drink, and then came out, there were ten more guards riding tall horses in the convoy, although these people didn't dare to say more, but they also guessed that the thin offspring who always liked to wear black clothes must be extraordinary.
Therefore, when she came out of one, the three tables outside were quiet and very restrained.
"It's time to eat, it's time to drink!" Yue Xi got up and shouted in the restaurant, and everyone picked up the chopsticks in unison, and stretched out towards the dish in front of them......
Yue Xi didn't care about this, picked up a glass of wine and walked around most of the table, stopped beside a Tsing Yi guard, and said with a pleasant face: "Brother Feng." β
Feng Xuzong was the leader of these guards and shadow guards.
is a steady and alert person, and it was Ying Su who was personally assigned to stay and protect Yuexi.
Now that the queen mother who was personally recognized by His Majesty actually called herself 'Brother Feng' in front of so many people, Feng Jizong was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the chopsticks and dishes he had just picked up fell back into the basin.
"The master has something to say, but please command, this title is too small to afford!" He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and got up, clasped his fists and saluted.
"A gentleman is respectful and respectful. All brothers in the four seas are also. Yue Xi picked up a glass of wine on the table and handed it to him: "Didn't Brother Feng refuse to admit that I didn't look like a gentleman?" β
"Don't dare!" Feng Jizong took the wine glass with both hands in fear, and still bowed down to listen to Yue Xi.
"I'm not going to hide it, I have something I want to ask Brother Feng for." As he spoke, Yue Xi beckoned to Xilai, who was standing next to the screen: "Son, come here!" β
"That day, your master gave him a short sword, this child likes it very much, but I'm stupid as a father, and I can't teach the child some moves, so I had this idea, I want to ask Brother Feng to suffer and teach this child!"
It turned out to be for this......
Feng Jizong's heart returned to his place at that time, and he raised his eyes and looked at Xilai carefully before asking, "How old are you?" β
"Eight years old." Xi Laicrisp replied vividly.
Feng Jizong frowned slightly.
He didn't learn martial arts until he was eight years old, which was too late in ancient times.
But for Yue Xi, who has a modern soul, he doesn't see it that way.
Children are too young to pee and begin to lay the foundation, especially some strength training will affect the child's future height.
Xilai was born in a rich family, but he was raised in the freezing and starving environment of the palace, he was originally much thinner than a child of similar size, she didn't want the child to suppress his growth because of martial arts!
"The master leads the door to practice in an individual, as for what this child can learn, it depends on himself, we don't force it." Knowing that Feng Jizong was too old to practice basic skills, Yue Xi opened his mouth first.
"Good!" Since the queen mother doesn't ask this godson to be able to learn and become a talent, then he doesn't have to have so many worries, Feng Jizong nodded immediately: "Then I will accept the little son." β
"Son, kowtow to recognize Master!" Yue Xi took a step back and gave way to a place under his feet, and Xilai immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Master! β
Yue Xi turned his head and handed a color to Gao Wen, he immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms, held it with both hands and handed it to Feng Jizong: "The old man is a big one, so I will be a witness to your master and apprentice, this is the birthday of Xilai, please take it!" β
The parents who gave birth to me and the master who taught me, so the master is also called the master.
Apprenticeship, this is a very important thing, and it is necessary to follow the rules in order to formally establish this kind of master-apprentice relationship like a father-son relationship.
Yue Xi had a mind to recognize a master for Xilai, and the darts and guards around her followed her for a few days, and she only picked Feng Jizong.
β¦β¦
"In the future, chase after your master more, and I don't need to teach you to serve tea and water, right?"
At night, the fragrant Xilai who washed it consciously got into Yue Xi's quilt, Yue Xi tucked the quilt next to the child, and the two mothers whispered: "Fight with them more, don't be afraid of being beaten and hurt, suffer more at this time, and you can live a long time in the future......"
