CHAPTER XXXV
After returning from the Nan'an Palace, Mrs. Wang wiped her tears on the wall, but Jia Zheng could only sigh.
General Baoyu heard that the eldest sister was out of the palace and was going to see her, so Jia's mother forced her to press, and only said, "I only went with your mother today, her status is not high, where can my mother's family often go to see her?" You're still a man, how can you just run to the backyard of the palace? ”
Baoyu said with tears in her eyes: "How can there be a reason not to allow my younger brother to see my sister? Even the royal palace can't be so deceitful. ”
Jia Mu persuaded: "You are a good student, and if you win the champion in the coming day, your sister will be better in that house." ”
Baoyu was stunned, and Jia's mother was so frightened that she slapped and shouted. Baoyu suddenly murmured: "Sure enough, there are several younger brothers in and out of the family, but I am the only one who is ignorant, completely ignoring my sister serving tea and pouring water with others, and being a slave and maid." Because Mu Ran went to her house, Jia's mother hurriedly called for someone to follow Haosheng to serve. Baoyu has since redoubled his efforts.
Mother Jia also wiped her tears for a while, and thought about it for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her eldest granddaughter was reasonable. The eldest son is probably a hidden one, ridiculous on the surface, but in fact he has some ability. I can't help but regret that I was too partial in my early years, but fortunately he didn't dare to be too arrogant. The next day, he opened his private vault and took out two rare antiques and ordered someone to send them to Jia Yu.
Because Jia Cong angrily scolded Mandarin Duck a while ago for turning his face with Jia's mother, Jia Yu didn't even bother to go through the motions recently; Suddenly, I heard that Jia's mother had rewarded two good things, but the second monk was confused. He didn't bother to think about it, knowing that Gong Kun often lived in a room in Lixiangyuan, so he simply walked over to look for him by himself.
Rikain Temple does not close during the day, but only hides it. Jia Yu pushed open the door and looked, stunned.
I saw that there were many tables neatly lined up in the hall, and a group of children were sitting next to them, holding books in their hands, which was simply a school. Gong Kun made tea and sat on top of Erlang's legs, about a teacher. Jia Yu couldn't help but feel relieved: "Okay! ”
At this time, some people also saw him, and they all gathered around to say goodbye, and shouted one after another: "Good general! "General Da'an!"
Jia Yuxiao asked them what they were studying, and the children showed it to him. There are those who recite the Book of Poetry, those who read the Analects, those who read historical records, those who read the Warring States Policy, those who have heavenly creations, those who have Sun Tzu's Art of War, and those who have nine chapters of arithmetic, which are simply all kinds of miscellaneous.
Jia Yu knew that Jia Cong had gone to Su Zheng's house today, and asked, "Mr. Xiao Gong, why didn't there be such a table in this hall when I came to see it before?" ”
Gong Kun smiled: "We just moved here then, and we haven't bought these yet." Because he ordered the children to continue studying, he personally led Jia Yu around.
In this courtyard, only Jia Cong, Gong Kun, and Qi'er occupy one room, and the two small ear rooms are given to the girl boy next to Jia Cong. The rest of the boys had four people in a room, and the beds were strangely two-tiered, with a layer on top of the bedposts, and a ladder to climb up. Gong Kun said: "These beds are specially made by the carpenter of the third master, and the students are also seeing each other for the first time." There were four children in each room, and every two of them read the same book. ”
Jia Yu asked, "Read the same book?" Why? ”
Gong Kun said: "There is the main art of war, there is the main criminal law, there is the main arithmetic, and there is the main farming...... The horizontal and vertical students looked at it, and the six parts were complete. ”
Jia Yu raised his eyes to look at him.
Gong Kun said with a smile: "But I don't know if the students and Wei Sihuan'er can get together in three provinces." ”
Jia Yu was silent for a long time and asked, "What did Cong'er say?" ”
Gong Kun said: "The third master only said that everyone should practice literature and martial arts, and if they have the ability, they are not afraid of anything." ”
After being silent for a while, Jia Yu let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Is he still short of silver?" ”
Gong Kun said: "Fortunately, the money is quite abundant. ”
Jia Yu said: "If there is a day...... If one day he is short of money, you can come to me. ”
Gong Kun said with a smile: "If there is a day, the third master himself will go to find the general." ”
Jia Yu nodded, and Gong Kun led him out and into the two big houses on the east side. I saw that it was full of books, all kinds of colors, and there were many sticks.
Gong Kun said: "The third master said that these two can only be called libraries, but they are set up according to the book house of the Hanlin Academy, and in the future, we will have a big room and many books, and we can open a library." ”
Jia Yu brushed his beard and said: "I went to the Hanlin Courtyard once, but it opened my eyes. Then he asked, "What are those in the outer courtyard?" I just saw a small plum blossom pile......" said and couldn't help laughing, "how can there be a plum blossom pile in this courtyard, that idea is so square that you can't even show your shape." ”
Gong Kun said: "Those are all custom-made by the third master, used to practice martial arts on weekdays, in addition to plum blossom piles, there are single-plank bridges, vertical ladders, horizontal ladders, and some are called dumbbells to practice lifting, and the one that is higher than the pestle next to it is called a vaulting horse." Sanye said, our place here is too small, and there should have been some high walls and low walls, horizontal bars and parallel bars, cross-piles, low-pile nets, and high-board jumps. And these things are too small at the moment, so you must make a set of normal sizes in the future to be suitable. ”
Jia Yu frowned and said, "What are these things?" How come I have never seen one? ”
Gong Kun said: "I haven't seen it either. I have never seen many of the things that the third master said. I'm afraid it was taught by his master master. ”
Jia Yu sighed: "I don't even know at all. It's just that, look at this posture is quite decent. He thought for a moment, "The Chengnan Mansion is very large, what does he want to do for him to do." ”
Gong Kun said: "I'm afraid it's not very appropriate." ”
Jia Yu turned his head to look at him: "Huh? ”
Gong Kun said: "The third master is still young, the master is always inconvenient to entrust the mansion to him to toss at will, if the second master knows, I am afraid he will not be happy." ”
Jia Yu said: "How many times has he been there?" Besides, can his thin arms and legs serve the people? This group is full of bandits. ”
Gong Kun smiled bitterly: "That being said, the young and the old are always in order......
Jia Yu waved his hand and said, "That's it." He turned around and walked out, only after walking a few steps and then came back, he said, "I almost forgot, I have something to look for you." ”
Gong Kun hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Jia Yu said: "The old lady sent two antiquities over early in the morning, saying that they were for me to enjoy. Your third master used my signboard to block her a while ago, and I didn't make up for it afterwards, so I turned my face. You wonder, what does she mean? ”
Gong Kun thought for a while and sighed: "The third master said a few days ago that all the girls in the Jia family are smart, and the eldest girl will not be stupid if she wants to. Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's true. Yesterday, the old lady went to Nan'an Wangfu to visit the eldest girl, but I was afraid that the eldest girl listened to the old lady and the second wife talk about the situation in the house, and concluded that the general trend of the second room had gone, and asked the old lady to show favor to the general. ”
Jia Yu thought about it, but it was right, Yuan Chun's girl was extremely clever when she was a child, so she snorted: "This son just came to show goodwill, what did you do earlier." ”
Gong Kun said with a smile: "Since the old lady has put up a ladder for the general, why not let the general go down." ”
Jia Yu said: "It's no good to go down, and there's no harm if you don't go down, and it's bad to go down." ”
Gong Kun said: "Because the sage loves to watch the infighting in the courtiers' homes, it is inconvenient for the general to drive out the old man in recent years, and it is inconvenient to take the old lady out." ”
Jia Yu said: "I know, that's why I really fought for him, didn't I?" ”
Gong Kun said: "The third master will have to do some illegal things sooner or later, and if he is in the same house, if there is a hidden arrow behind ......." ”
Jia Yu gasped.
Gong Kun said: "Why don't you disturb the old lady's heart? ”
After a while, Jia Yu sighed: "What you said is true. I'll go back and thank her. ”
Gong Kun smiled again: "General Bao Buqi can still get some antiquities to enjoy." ”
Jia Yu proudly picked his beard and said, "Lao Tzu is not so bad now." Because of the departure of the hand, Gong Kungong was sent to the gate of Lixiangyuan.
Jia Yu then went to Jia's mother to ask for a reward, Jia's mother took his hand and said good things for a long time, Jia Yu's back goosebumps were already full of a set of shirts, and he only waited for her to finish, and pretended to say some fleshy words, and only after a long time did he feel the excuse to resign. Outside the door, Jia Yu Yang Tianchang took a breath of air and scolded in his mouth: "Stinky boy, if it weren't for you, why would you have to be depressed for so long." ”
That night, Jia Yu Nai sent someone to Lixiangyuan to ask Jia Cong if he wanted to order his messy things and place them in the mansion in the south of the city, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Since my father is willing to go out of the place, is he also willing to pay for it?" ”
Jia Yu heard the reply and said angrily: "It's only a few dollars, let him pay by himself!" ”
Jia Cong couldn't help it, and muttered, "Isn't it cheap?" I had to take out the drawings I had drawn earlier, send them out to the carpenter and blacksmith to copy a set of obstacle training equipment used in the army in the previous life, and place it in the mansion in the south of the city after it was completed. Fortunately, the martial arts arena over there is huge, and it is enough to separate a fence.
The day after the drawings were handed out, Jia Cong began to lead the children of Lixiangyuan for a long-distance run. Because they didn't want to alarm too many people, they only ran around in Jiafu, which attracted many girls to probe their brains.
On this day, the training equipment of the Chengnan Mansion was finally completed, and Jia Yu gathered more than 80 men and even women from various military families to watch Jia Cong demonstrate how to use these things.
He had only demonstrated it once, and Gong Sanyi's jaw was about to drop. After being stunned for a long time, he shouted: "This is for military training!" ”
Jia Cong nodded: "Yes, it's for military training." ”
Gong San also looked at Jia Cong again, and his eyes changed. "Who taught you?"
Jia Cong recalled that when he was in military training at the university in his previous life, the instructor's surname was Sun, so he said: "It is a Sun in the army." ”
Jia Yu hurriedly asked: "Is it in the army?" What is your current job? ”
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "Back then, he was just a centurion, but now he can't be found. I've only seen these things a few times, and they're all made from gourd painting scoops, and I don't know if it's right, so I'll use them for a while to see if I want to change them. ”
Gong San also shook his head again and again, and said regretfully: "This is the one who can train soldiers, and it is okay to be a general, but it is a pity that everyone is gone, sigh, sigh!" The court doesn't know anyone! "These things are too big to be stored elsewhere, and it's inconvenient for outsiders to see them." Now put the fence higher and transplant some trees that are easy to feed. If an outsider comes by occasionally, don't let them see it. ”
Jia Yu said: "Don't let outsiders in again." Only we practice martial arts ourselves, and let others do it. ”
And all of them answered. So I went and tried it one by one. At first, I thought it was funny, and some said it was easy. Jia Cong smiled: "It's not easy to go back and forth a few more times." "Because he said to Jia again, "Lord Sun was still wearing a kind of camouflage uniform that day, which was very interesting, and he said that wearing that clothes is not easy to be noticed by the enemy in the field." ”
Jia Yu hurriedly said: "What does it look like? Do you remember? ”
Jia Cong said: "I roughly remember, I'll go back and be popular. Sleeve try to make a set. ”
Jia Yu glanced at him a few times: "What else do you want?" Say it all together. ”
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Does Dad give money?" ”
Jia Yu glared at him and said, "Say it quickly!" ”
Jia Cong said: "I can't finish it for a while, and I can't say it clearly, I wrote it to my father one by one." ”
Jia Yu snorted, turned around and went to the study. Gong Sanyi, Gong Kun, Jia Siqi'er and others naturally followed, and the small ones still continued to climb the horizontal ladder of the single-plank bridge to play.
When he arrived at the study, Jia Cong bit the brush and thought about it for a long time, and finally took out the charcoal pen he carried, drew a telescope and a schematic, and said: "This must be very expensive, you can't do more." Because I don't have transparent glass, I have to grind it with crystal. ”
Jia Yu can't understand it at all! Scolded: "Mess! What a thing. ”
Mi'er smiled beside him: "Look at this section, it seems to be the two convex lenses you said a few days ago?" ”
Jia Cong said: "Well, in fact, the Westerners made this two hundred years ago, calling it a clairvoyant mirror, as if there were also maritime merchants who sold it to our dynasty, but very few." I only know a rough idea, if only I could find one or two physical objects. ”
Jia Yunai asked, "What is the use of this thing?" ”
Jia Cong said: "When you put it in front of you, you can see the scenery of the characters in the distance very clearly, and it is convenient to spy on opportunities when you are fighting." ”
Gong San was so excited that his voice trembled: "If it is really of such use, no matter how expensive it is, it is cost-effective." ”
Jia Yu said: "That's it, since that's the case, let people do it." ”
Jia Cong said: "It may not be possible to do it in a moment, this seems to be extremely difficult." It's better to go outside to find a maritime merchant to buy it first, or ask if there are maritime merchants from the West, and then go to sea next time to bring some back for us, and we can imitate the real thing. ”
Jia Yu nodded: "What else?" ”
Jia Cong said: "Western countries are small countries, small populations, and many wars, so they attach great importance to weapons. To this day, their fire. The gun is much stronger than mine. If the merchant dares to sell it, I want to buy some. ”
Because of the detailed description of the benefits of Western muskets, Jia Yu, Gong Sanyi and others were frightened to look at each other. Half a day later, Gong Sanyi exclaimed: "Fortunately, they are far away from us. ”
Jia Cong sighed in his heart, what if it is far away, it will not be the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance in the future? It's just that since the master is here, he naturally can't do nothing and wait for them to knock on the door; If you can't keep it, you should call the door first. Because he looked at Jia Yu and said, "Dad, since you want a full set, how about getting a full set?" ”
Jia Yu said: "How many of you say together, waste so many words." ”
Jia Cong said: "Every soldier must be equipped with a compass, a dagger, and a slingshot. The slingshot is small, but extremely useful. There are also gloves and boots that have to be specially made. He bluntly said that the "soldiers" had already picked out Jia Yu and was ready to train this group of people as private soldiers.
There are no fools in the room, but they all pretend that no one cares about that word, but in fact they know it and the undercurrent is turbulent.
Jia Yu was also stunned and looked at him; Seeing that he was calm, he just added these things to the paper, and secretly roared "That's it" in his stomach. "Anything else?"
Jia Cong thought for a while: "I heard that rattan armor and cotton armor are quite capable of preventing arrows, but I don't know whether it's true or not, so I have to do a test." ”
Jia Yu hurriedly turned his head to look at Gong Sanyi, and Gong Sanyi sighed: "Look at it this way, we can't wait any longer, we have to erect the cottage immediately." ”
Jia Cong said: "I don't understand why it has dragged on for so long? Isn't it really for robbery, just to hide soldiers? ”
Jia Yu glared at him: "I didn't cover my mouth again." ”
Jia Cong didn't care, and then said: "Even if it's really for robbery, it's been a long time since we stopped robbing Haonu. ”
Gong San also said: "Because there are many things to think about. ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Is that still the King of the Mountain?" Most of the kings of the mountains are ordinary people who are forced by corrupt officials, corrupt officials, powerful and rich slaves, and cannot survive. Most of them occupied the mountain as kings at first to survive, just find a dirt cave and burrow into it, and then do it first. Besides, there is no complete thing in the world, and if you have all this, you must lack that. Mr. Gong is bent on covering everything, but he can't keep it all right. ”
Gong San was also stunned on the spot when he heard this. Jia Yu and others have wanted to send someone to occupy the mountain as the king for many years, but he has not allowed it, because all kinds of colors are not complete. It's just that some things really have one end and then don't have this one, and it's difficult to have both worlds. So I haven't been able to do it.
Gong Kun said with a smile on the side: "What the third master said is very true, third uncle, you are too thoughtful, but it will not work." ”
Jia Yu saw that Gong San was still stunned, and hurriedly said, "What do you kid know?" But move your mouth. Mr. Gong is busy day and night, where is like you, he only knows how to play all day long. ”
Jia Cong pouted and said, "Okay, it's all mine, Mr. Gong, don't be angry." ”
Gong Kun couldn't help but laugh.
Gong Sanyi also smiled: "There is no sincerity at all." "You're right, I'm thinking too much." In this case, he immediately sent people to set up camp on the mountains and recruit troops! ”。
