Chapter 14: Teaching the Art of War
Except for the dinner that the whole family had dinner on the day of Xiu Mu, each room of the Han family had their own meals, and each room had a small kitchen, and they could tell what they wanted to eat.
Han Yajing went home to have lunch with her mother as usual, and when she entered the flower hall and cleaned her hands, she heard her mother say to her: "Your cousin Xi is here today, and she is having dinner with your grandfather and grandmother in the main room." Later, she will come to Baoyuexuan for lunch break, you can go and say hello to her later. ”
Han Yajing felt strange, "Cousin Xi is here, why?" ”
Zhao Xi will study in the Han family in the future, so naturally this matter cannot be hidden, so Mrs. Han Shizi simply told her daughter, "Your uncle and grandfather sent her here to study with your grandfather, and it is the same as the schedule of your school." ”
The Han family credits men and women, and even the lunch on the men's side is used in the school, and the discipline is strict. Women's ethnography is more relaxed, learning the subset of classics and history in the morning, and learning qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in the afternoon. If you don't want to come to the clan school in the afternoon, you can also ask someone to study at home. Therefore, the women's family can go home for dinner at noon and go to the school in the afternoon.
The only brother of the Han family in this life is the eldest brother Han Yatang who was personally taught by Ning Guogong, and Han Yatang only went to the clan study when he was ten years old, so Han Yajing was very curious about Zhao Xi coming to the Han family to get the teaching of her grandfather.
Mrs. Han Shizi knew the details, but there were some things that were hard to say, so she ignored her daughter's curiosity and ordered the meal.
Duchess Ning Guo sent her eldest girl, Xiangyun, to serve Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi went to Baoyuexuan under the leadership of Xiangyun to take a nap after lunch.
Who knew that he met Han Yajing at the door of Baoyuexuan.
Zhao Xi hurriedly stepped forward to greet Han Yajing, seeing the scorching sun, Han Yajing obviously wouldn't leave after saying a few words, otherwise she wouldn't have to wait at the door, so she invited her in, and asked again: "Cousin Jing, didn't you go to school, why are you here?" ”
The Han family has a women's race, and she heard her brother say that she thought that she would not be able to come back at noon like the men's race.
"The female school can go home at noon." Han Yajing explained, "When I came back at noon, I heard my mother say that you came to my house to study, so I came over to see if you were uncomfortable. If you need anything, just ask my mother, don't be embarrassed. ”
Zhao Xi nodded obediently, "Well, I will talk to my eldest aunt if necessary." ”
When Han Yajing saw Zhao Xi's well-behaved appearance, Lori controlled her seizures, and she couldn't wait to hug Zhao Xi and kiss her, and kept screaming in her heart: How could there be such a cute villain.
Yanzi was not familiar with Baoyuexuan, so Xiangyun went to brew two cups of flower dew mixed with water for Han Yajing and Zhao Xi, using the flower dew brought by Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi smelled the flower dew coming up from the fragrant clouds, and then remembered that she had brought a gift today, and turned her head and told Yanzi to take out the gift.
Zhao Xi pushed a large wooden box to Han Yajing and said, "Cousin Jing, this is the flower dew that my grandmother gave me, there are three bottles of roses, three bottles of jasmine, and two bottles of lilies. This is my gift in return. ”
A few days ago, she came to Han's house, and Han Yajing gave her a lot of gifts, and she brought flower dew this time to prepare a return gift.
Then he instructed Xiangyun to send two small wooden boxes to the second and third misses, also as her return gifts. The flower dew given to Miss 2 and Miss 3 was three bottles each, and one bottle each of roses, jasmine, and lilies, the total number was the same as that given to Han Yajing. As for the return gifts of the three ladies of the Han family, she naturally does not need to give them back, she only needs to give them to her peers.
Han Yajing didn't want to open the wooden box for her two younger sisters to see what gifts were inside, she just looked at the six bottles of flower dew in front of her with starry eyes, and she was happy to be able to bloom fireworks.
Han Yajing closed the lid, turned around and handed her maid ring to put it away, looked at Zhao Xi, and said sincerely: "Cousin Xi, thank you." ”
She naturally understands the preciousness of the flower dew, and the six bottles of flower dew in her hand are more than the flower dew her mother got from her grandmother a few days ago, which is really a big return gift.
Zhao Xi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to thank him. Since she was three years old, she has been drinking pure flower dew every day, and she does not feel that there is anything precious. Because she herself didn't know the role of flower dew, she didn't understand why Han Yajing, a lady who was used to seeing good things, thanked her so solemnly.
Han Yajing saw that Zhao Xi was not really polite, and she herself was not a squirming person, so it was good for others to keep her good in mind, so she turned her head and asked curiously, "Cousin Xi, when you come to my house, what did your grandfather teach you?" ”
Zhao Xi realized that Han Yajing didn't know anything about her coming to Han's house to study, and it was not something unsightly, so she said, "I learned the Standing Horse Step Pile and the Subset of Scripture and History in the morning, and I don't know what to learn in the afternoon." ”
When Han Yajing heard this, her eyes lit up, and the villain in her heart screamed again, it turned out to be a martial artist! Seeing Zhao Xi's tired face, he said nothing more and left.
Zhao Xi sent Han Yajing to the door and turned back, yawned, climbed into bed and fell asleep after a while. The swallow sat and waited.
Wake up from a nap, wash up, sit in the small sedan chair arranged by Xiangyun, and be led by Xiangyun to the inner study. The sedan chair stopped outside the courtyard door of the study, Xiangyun opened the curtain, Zhao Xi walked out and led the swallow into the courtyard gate, and Xiangyun returned with the sedan chair, they could not enter without permission.
Although he was sitting in a small sedan chair along the way, when the heat wave hit, Zhao Xi still felt very stuffy, accompanied by the sound of cicadas, and felt a little irritable.
The swallow went to the ear room next to it to wait, Zhao Xi walked into the study, and there were four ice basins in the four corners of the room, Zhao Xi felt a lot cooler in an instant, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Guogong was already sitting on a chair waiting for Zhao Xi, and when he saw her come in, he handed her a book and said, "Let's study the content of the first part of this book in the afternoon, and when the class is over, you will practice calligraphy." ”
Zhao Xi answered yes, respectfully took the book, and found that the title of the book was written "Battle Chronicle", and there was a word written below. She flipped through the pages of the book and took a cursory glance at the contents, revealing that it had been compiled from an old battle.
As if she had discovered a new continent, she began to look at the first article carefully. The book contains the specific era of the battle between the two sides, the structure of the imperial court, the personnel who participated in the battle, and the specific strategy. When she saw the first article, she put down the book and looked at Ning Guogong with blank eyes, waiting for the explanation.
Ning Guogong looked at Zhao Xi's appearance with amusement in his heart, and began to analyze the battle for her. Ning Guogong described it in vivid and interesting words, even the bloody and terrifying battlefield was fascinating by him, not to mention his explanation of the battle, which made Zhao Xi as refreshing as drinking a smoothie, and she absorbed these contents hungrily.
Zhao Xi is still young, Ning Guogong feels that no matter how smart she is, it is impossible for her to carry out teaching in the form of questions and answers, he just patiently explained to Zhao Xi as he used to teach his eldest grandson, and at the same time inspired her thinking as much as possible.
Zhao Xi herself knew that the four-year-old body was an adult soul inside, but she knew the truth very well, and the war in modern society was far less complicated than the ancient war, so she took herself as a beginner to learn very seriously.
After studying, I learned that the terrain, weather, and the personality of the main combat personnel can sometimes become the breakthrough point of a battle, which is like modern society, the weather and terrain can be judged according to satellites. Zhao Xi felt that it was really worth coming to the Han family, no wonder his grandfather and grandmother praised the Ningguo bus entrance.
