Honghui also had guards with knives, and Ama gave him the guards after he entered the palace. Every time he enters the palace during the Chinese New Year, Ama takes Honghui on horseback, Amma's guards and Honghui's guards are on the side, guarding the two, they hold the reins in one hand and hold the waist knife in the other, as if they are idle on a horse, but their eyes always scan the surrounding streets and rooftops.
Hongyu was sitting in the car with the third elder brother at the time, looking at Ama and Honghui from the car window. He vaguely felt in his heart that Honghui was different from him and the third elder brother.
Amma has very big expectations for Honghui.
Therefore, since he was a child, Hongyu has admired his eldest brother. When the third elder brother arrived in the front yard, he was not familiar with Honghui, who only came back for a few days a month, so he slowly told him who the eldest brother was. But he didn't know too much about Honghui, and the one he talked about the most was...... He was the eldest brother, he was older than us, he could read well, he could write well, he rode a horse steadily and quickly, and he could draw his bow twenty times at a time.
The third elder brother asked when the eldest brother would come back?
Hongyu had no choice but to say: He is in the palace.
After saying it a few times, the third elder brother was not interested in this eldest brother who only heard his name and did not see him. Hongyu no longer talks about Honghui.
In addition to the third elder brother, he also has four haha beads. Hongyu, who has no shortage of playmates, has less and less expectations for his eldest brother. Moreover, the eldest brother, who returns home every ten days, is getting busier and busier. He stayed in the main courtyard more often, and Amma would spend a lot of time asking him about his homework.
The two unconsciously drifted apart.
Hongyu always feels that the eldest brother who has been to the study is different from before.
After the five guards kowtowed to Hongyu, they each reported their family names, and then looked up at him.
The fourth master patted him and said, "Do you want to accept their allegiance?" ”
Hongyu paused, raised his head and said loudly, "I accept your allegiance!" ”
After he shouted these words, it was as if something in front of him had been broken.
The five of them kowtowed again, got up and stood aside.
Seeing that Hongyu was still a little excited, the fourth master pushed him and said, "Go and accompany your guards to run a lap." ”
Hongyu was still a little hesitant when he took the first step, and then he strode forward, down the steps, and the five of them took a slight half step back and leaned towards him. He looked at them one by one excitedly, and smiled at the leader man: "Amba, what are you best at?" ”
Bayak Amba, the man with the white flag. He was about sixteen years old, with a square face and a high nose, and he stepped forward and said proudly: "Back to the master, the slave is the best at arching horses, and he can fly through the Yang in a hundred steps!" ”
Hongyu smiled slightly, untied a jade ring from his waist, and said, "Then let's go to the school and ask me to see how you are doing!" If I can shoot it without damaging this jade ring, I will give you this jade ring that Amma gave me! ”
The jade ring is like congealed fat in the sun, and the white jade is flawless. It was no more than an inch square, with a round hole in the middle, which could only be passed through a woman's little finger. The jade ring is made of royal blue silk knots to form auspicious ruyi knots, and a finger-long tassel hangs underneath.
An Ba couldn't help but have bright eyes, he could wait for the little master of the Sibeile Mansion, and he also passed five levels and six generals before breaking into Zuihou. can get this master's personal thing, and he will be the master's confidant in the future.
Hongyu looked at the remaining four guards and said, "If Amba can't shoot down, you can also go up and give it a try." The winner of Zuihou will get it! ”
Those four people are not as good as Amba on the bow horse, but Yuhuan is there, if Amba can't shoot down, they can also fight!
Amba immediately looked back at the group of guys. They were only singled out half a year ago, and they didn't know that they were here to wait for the little master, and only five of them were left after brushing people again and again. To be able to stand in front of these four people, he also beat them down over and over again in exchange.
Seeing that these four people also had the intention of winning, Amba held the bow behind his back and sneered: "Still not convinced? Then let the horses come! ”
The fourth master stood in the study, watching Hongyu easily arouse the fighting heart of the guards, and his heart was admired and relieved. This kid is even better than he thought. The guards gave it to him, and it took a lot of effort to subdue what had been used.
Honghui also personally introduced the guards at that time, and taught him several ways to receive the guards before, just to see which one he used. Honghui talks with the guards one by one, often gives generous gifts, and is gentle and kind to the guards and their families. And in the past few years of getting along, I can see the mentality and expertise of these guards, and then decide how to arrange their positions accordingly.
In comparison, Hongyu's approach is simple and crude. You don't need to use your brain, it's just 'I just need to be the most haode'. The first time they met, he established his position as the master in front of these five people. It is up to him to decide the goal and give rewards, and the people below can only keep competing for the first, lest they fall behind.
The two children, Honghui is heart-to-heart, gentle and long, and quiet. Hongyu stayed out of the matter and stood by and watched.
I can't see which one is more clever yet, but each has its own strengths.
Hongyu in front of him walked towards the school field among the five guards, and the fourth master was full of pride in his chest. He has such a son, can he, who is Amma, not be as good as a son?
Hongyu has a guard, and he runs outside more happily. Li Wei took the opportunity to set up a small treasury for him, told him to find the person in charge of the treasury himself, and told him that from now on, he would start to learn how to reward slaves.
"Those guards follow you, and they are your minions. Compared to the eunuch girl who waits for you, haha beads and guards are completely different. They have families, and they follow you because they want to fulfill their ideals. To put it bluntly, it is to follow you, and there must be meat to eat. ”
Speaking of which, the second elder brother, Hongyu and the third elder brother all laughed, and the fourth elder brother didn't understand weishenme laughing, so he also laughed with him, and zuihou laughed the most happily on him.
The last time I watched a play, a mountain king tied up a scholar and went up the mountain, trying to persuade him to stay as an accountant. The scholar said that he was going down the mountain for the exam, but the king of the mountain locked him up and did not tell him to go down the mountain. Later, the scholar successfully went down the mountain to marry the prime minister's daughter after the king of the mountain was stunned, and came back with a decree to destroy the king of the mountain. He also became a righteous brother with the king of the mountain.
In short, the main thrust of this play is probably ...... Wealth cannot be lewd, and power cannot be bent. The king of the mountain came to persuade the scholar for three nights in a row, saying that he would build him a big house, and that he would bring his hard-suffering and poor father and mother up the mountain, and that they had robbed a lot of gold and silver. Zuihou also compared the scholar with a knife, but the scholar just didn't agree to stay.
Anyway, if you study well, you can get ahead, you can become famous in one fell swoop, you can marry the daughter of a big official, and so on. None of the other rebels who became bandits or gods and horses. All these things were spoken through the mouths of scholars. is still a drama of praising the saints, but Li Wei is more willing to watch this kind of drama than saying that a woman should cut her flesh and feed her mother-in-law.
At that time, she said to the children that the words of the king of the mountain can be summed up, that is, follow him and have meat to eat.
Hongyu dispersed and said: "The scholar said that there is a golden millet in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the meaning of this mountain king is that there is also a golden millet in the mountains, and there is also Yan Ruyu in the mountains." After saying that, he himself hahadaxiao, and the king of the mountain said that if the scholar was willing to stay, he could marry his daughter to him.
When they watched the play, they thought that the daughter of the king of the mountain was a beauty, but a harlequin came up, with silkworm eyebrows, round red rouge covering his face, drawing a big mouth, and a big black mole at the corner of his mouth. Twisting and pinching came to the stage, as soon as the sleeve was lowered and thrust in front of the scholar, the scholar and my mother fell off the chair.
made the audience laugh so much that Er Gege was lying behind the third elder brother with a smile, beating the couch vigorously.
Because this play was really good, Hongyu was deeply impressed, and remembered it as soon as he heard that there was meat to eat. Li Wei said: "What the King of the Mountain said is basically right. It's just that compared with the imperial court, there are not as many scholars as the imperial court. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden silence in the room. Er Gege and Hongyu both looked at Eniang with a straight face, the third elder brother didn't quite understand, and the fourth elder brother didn't understand at all. Li Wei didn't ask anyone to take them out, and continued: "The same head, the king of the mountain is talking about the master and the position of the account room of the scholar cottage. ”
After the scholar was admitted to the top rank, he became a big official. I didn't say it clearly in the big drama of the official, but I can all be ordered, and a four-grade can't run away, although how can a civil official run to suppress the bandits...... Don't take the things in the drama too seriously.
The four-grade official and a cottage master's account room, it really doesn't need to be said that they all know which one to choose.
Li Wei wrenched her fingers: "Second, the king of the mountain promised his own daughter." ”
The scholar Zuihou is married to the daughter of the prime minister.
"The third thing is the two boxes of gold and silver that the king of the mountain brought up to the scholar."
The scholar became a big official, recruited an cottage, and had a promising future in the future.
Li Wei lowered her voice: "Zuihou is the knife across the scholar's neck." ”
Power, profit, beauty, life and death. How many people in this world can survive these levels?
Hongyu's heart tightened, and Ergege clenched his handkerchief.
Looking at these two children, Li Wei said lightly: "Go back and think about it." ”
Hongyu was overjoyed by the guard's words, and he wanted to say to Eniang that he already understood the meaning of Eniang's words. To be for yourself, not to protect your mother and siblings. After he took over the guards today, he really felt a fleeting ambition.
But Eniang's words were like cold water poured on his head, telling him to wake up immediately.
A few children went to Ergege's house and told all the subordinates to retreat, and Ergege said to Hongyu: "Do you understand what Eniang said?" ”
Hongyu nodded lightly and said with some frustration: "I understand, I can't give them anything now, this can't be exchanged for their loyalty." Their allegiance now is not to me, but to Amma, to the House of Baylor. ”
If he had not been the son of Amma, they would not have been loyal to him.
Ergege's face was also heavy, and she said, "...... Actually, I only understood it before. Obviously I am the master, weishenme those grandmothers dare to rectify me? weishenme The girl in my house listens to Mama, doesn't listen to me? ”
Hongyu looked at her.
"It's not because I'm too young, it's because I don't have power. I don't have the power to dispose of them, so they're not afraid of me. They are afraid of Eniang because Eniang can deal with them. If I can't deal with them, they will never see me as their master. ”
She said to Hongyu: "Hongyan, you are the elder brother, you can be much stronger than me in this life." Don't be like my mamma, and make your guards your masters. ”
Hongyu touched the waist knife and said ruthlessly: "...... If there is such a slave who deceives his master, I will cut him with my own hands! ”
Ergege said: "I think Eniang also wants to tell you this, the people who are waiting for us are not born to be inferior." They will want to be a master when they have the opportunity. I have Eniang in the courtyard, and you have Amma in front. You're a little stronger than me, you're Brother. So, you probably haven't seen anything like a slave bullying a master. ”
"It's a good thing that you have a guard. But you have to be more vigilant and work harder than before. ”
Ergege said to him seriously.
Hongyu nodded vigorously.
After that, the fourth master now Hongyu worked harder when he studied and practiced martial arts. Calling him over and asking Weishenme suddenly so hard?
Hongyu said: "I don't want to make Anti-Barbuda compare with them!" I have to be better than them to be their master! ”
The fourth master didn't expect to give the guards to arouse his competitiveness, and said: "Then you work hard, but don't hurt yourself." ”
Ten days after going to the study, Honghui returned home and met the two Hongyu brothers at the door of the study. The fourth master is not here today, and Honghui came back by himself. His guards stood under the porch.
Hongyu and the third elder brother saluted Honghui and then retired. Honghui also hurriedly said two words, put down the salute, and went to the main courtyard after calling the guards home.
In the afternoon, he went to the school field and saw five strange guards wrestling, two by two, and the other was wrestling with Hongyi, and he threw Hongyu far away again and again, so that Hongyu was like a mud monkey. The third elder brother was boxing on the side, ahhhhh
Honghui stood for a while and then went to draw the bow. After drawing the bow twenty times, he stopped to rest, and the eunuch who was waiting for him came over and whispered: "Those five are the guards of the second elder brother, with knives, and they are all people with white flags. The leader's surname is Bayak, and on the first day of entering the mansion, Pegasus walked through Yang in 100 steps and won a white jade ring from the second elder brother. ”
"White Jade Ring? The one from Ama Reward? Honghui was surprised.
Eunuch: "Yes, it's the one that our master rewarded, the second elder brother likes it very much, and he often wears it on his body." ”
In the school field, the person who accompanied Hongyu to wrestle has stopped falling, and he is correcting Hongyan's footwork and posture. Seeing Honghui looking over there, the eunuch said, "Now it's Huitu Yasoka who is wrestling with the second elder brother, and he is the best at Buku. In the past few days, I have challenged many people in the house. ”
On the school field, Hongyu continued to fall while correcting his posture, and when he fell to Zuihou, he was helped down by the guards. He sat in the open space on the edge of the school yard, and Yasoka got down on one knee to relieve him. Only then did he see Honghui, but he couldn't move when he wanted to get up, so he had to ask the guards to help him over.
Honghui hurriedly came over, held him down and said, "You don't have to get up, will you be a little reluctant to practice?" ”
Hongyu shook his head and said, "There are Chenda who are watching, and besides, they also have a number in their hands." Yasoka stood up and saluted Honghui, who pointed at him and said, "This is my guard Yasoka!" He's amazing! Not even Amma's guards are his opponents! ”
Probably because he used Yuhuan as a reward at the beginning to make this group of guards understand wrongly, after Yuhuan told Ambar to go, the rest of the people like to find people to compete in the mansion, wanting to prove their skills. It caused a gust of martial arts to rise in the house.
Hongyi was also worried that Ama would be angry, but Ama was also happy to see it, so he asked someone to carry a Mongolian scimitar and place it at the gate of the school field, and said that whoever won would be rewarded with twenty taels of gold.
Now the guards in the palace love to compete in the school field during the day.
Honghui listened to Hongyu's words, and said with a smile: "If I knew this, I wouldn't have asked them to go back, they accompany me every day in the palace, and they are also bored, and I am afraid that I will be happy to have a chance to loosen my muscles and bones." ”
Hongyu looked directly at Yasoka: "How is it?" Yasoka, do you dare to compete with my eldest brother's guards? ”
Honghui was stunned at first, and then looked at the tall and stout guard naturally.
Yasoka said proudly, "Servants are not afraid of anyone! No matter who comes, the minions can knock them down! ”
Honghui smiled and said to his personal eunuch, "Go and call them back." ”
The eunuch ran away quickly, Hongyu Haha laughed for a while, and then heaved up, helped Yasuoka up and said: "I'll go and change my clothes and wash up first, Yasuoka, you also go and talk to Antiba, but there will be a strong enemy for a while, don't give your master and me a loss of face!" ”
Honghui helped Hongyu and said to Yasoka, "You go first." ”
Yasoka looked at Hongyu and saw him nod before retreating.
The little eunuchs came up to help Honghui, and he waved to Honghui and went out of the school. Honghui looked at the back of this younger brother and showed up for the first time...... This younger brother has also grown up.
After a few years in the palace, he would not mistake Hongyu's intention to win, and it was amazingly straightforward.
In the evening, when the fourth master came back, he heard a fight in the school field in the afternoon. Honghui's guards were defeated by Honghui's guards, and five people fought against each other, losing three and winning two.
After having the guards, Hongyu was also too happy. asked the guards to fight with others every day, and he had to learn martial arts from the guards. The fourth master didn't stop because he knew that even if Hongyu was not measured, the guards would be measured.
The guards in the house have all challenged, and when Honghui came back today, he was entangled and beaten again.
The fourth master smiled, glad that he didn't even drag Honghui off the field.
Called Su Peisheng and asked Qing Qing that after the fight in the afternoon, Hongyu had already called the doctor to reward the guards with medicine, although he didn't win, he also rewarded silver.
The fourth master smiled: "Go to open the warehouse, I remember that there is a knife holder with antlers?" Take it out and send it to Hongyu's house. "Coax the boy so that he will not be sad if he loses.
Hongyu didn't end up, except for some abrasions from the wrestling, there was nothing wrong with anything else. In the East Courtyard, he was talking to the second Gege and the third elder brother about the afternoon competition, probably because he had heard too many books, and he said it: "...... It's too late, it's too soon! As soon as Antibuda released the arrow, the rope hanging from the branch over there broke! The arrow hit the trunk of the tree! It's a lot of effort to get someone to go up and pull out the arrow! ”
The fourth master came in and listened to a tail, originally thought that this child would be sad, who knew that he still had the heart to tell his sister and brother.
He went over and struck him and said, "The guards are trained in martial arts, what is the use of relying on the right head?" Turn around and ask your guards to practice company and arm strength, don't practice it into a street trick, just have an accurate head, no arm strength, you can't kill the enemy. ”
Hongyu and several people immediately stood up when they saw him come in, and Hongyu said dejectedly: "Yes, Amma." ”
The fourth master patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, continue to tell your sisters and brothers, do you want to ask Su Peisheng to bring you a castanet?" ”
The second Gege and the third elder brother both laughed, Hongyu's face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again, pulling the two sisters and brothers with bad intentions to go to the yard. Momofoo and Zaohua saw them coming out of the dog house and barked non-stop.
In the main courtyard, Fujin and Honghui sat and stood together.
Fu Jin also heard about what happened in the school yard in the afternoon, and said with a smile: "Hongyu is young, has a bigger temper, and loves to be competitive. As long as you treat him and win him, he will naturally believe you. ”
Honghui replied with a solemn hand below.
Fu Jin kept him for dinner, and told him to get along more with Hongyu and the third elder brother: "You are an elder brother, it is rare to be in the house, these days, ask the younger brothers to read and write together, don't be alienated." ”
After the meal, he asked him to go back to the front to rest earlier, and said: "It's getting colder and colder, and the new leather jacket has been ready, so you can bring it to the front this time, and you can bring it all in when you enter the palace, is there enough carbon in the palace?" Do you want to bring some carbon from home? ”
The easiest thing to be deducted in the palace is the lamp oil, firewood, and charcoal, which is used up before the end of the month.
Honghui said: "The palace is enough, the mother takes care of it, and there is no shortage of anything." ”
Fu Jin nodded, and didn't keep him any longer.
He hesitated, and Fu Jin urged: "It's not early, go back and soak your feet, and rest early." You are very tired in the palace, don't memorize and write tonight. ”
Honghui thought about it and still couldn't ask, he walked out of the main courtyard, and suddenly felt that the big courtyard behind him was very lonely, like an empty courtyard, and only Eniang lived in it alone. When passing by the East Courtyard, the laughter inside seems to be able to reach outside.
Amma didn't accompany him to the main courtyard today, and when he came out, he didn't see Amma go in.
Now, doesn't Ama even go to E-Niang on the day he goes home?
