Although it was just a group of children going out to play, it was not an ordinary person who couldn't stand this group of children, so although there were less than ten main owners, the accompanying family servants, maids and grooms, etc., together they exceeded two hundred.

As the master, Gao Pragmatic brought more than ten cooks and helpers, fifty or sixty guards to the family, plus his two little maids, and one person contributed eighty places. Most of the children of the other families brought more than ten people, and the few also had six or seven followers, who hugged them to see Xinzhai.

In addition to Gao Shishi, the prince's companion to study for a bachelor's degree, the following people participated in this spring outing party:

Zhu Yingzhen, the eldest grandson of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo; Zhang Yuangong, the eldest son of the British Duke Zhang Rongyan; Xu Wenbi, the eldest grandson of Dingguo Gong, Xu Xizhen; Li Zongcheng, the eldest grandson of Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu; Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Huan's nephew Gu Dali; Xue Gang, the eldest son of Xue Ganyan, Marquis of Yangwu; Li Chengzuo, the eldest son of Li Ruyan, Marquis of Fengcheng; Li Chenggong, the eldest son of Xiangcheng Bo Li Chenggong; Yingcheng's uncle, Wendong's eldest son, Sun Yungong.

The foreign surname of the Ming Dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasties, it only has three levels: duke, marquis, and earl, and the national duke is naturally the highest, followed by the marquis, and the earl again, and the earl is not sealed. Due to the lack of low-level titles such as viscount and baron, the status of the first three grades is actually relatively high. However, time has passed, and although most of the current nobles are registered in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in the north and south of Beijing, in fact, many of them cannot be said to be people who actually "lead the troops".

The above are different, their ancestors or fathers still have serious soldiers and horses in their hands, these soldiers and horses are useless and don't talk about it, but at least there is a roster, and in fact, they can more or less make up the head. Except for the guards under the name of Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, all of them were near Nanjing, and the rest were in the Beijing camp.

It can be said that if something happens to these young masters today, the orthodox generals in the Beijing camp twenty or thirty years later will be considered to be finished.

Of course, there is no possibility of an accident today - it is only about ten miles away from the Beijing Division, and the bigwigs in the Beijing camp know where their children are, how can they allow an accident? Therefore, it is enough for Gao Pragmatic to bring fifty or sixty guards as the master, and the other noble sons and daughters will each bring at most two or three guards, and the rest are helpers, or maids.

Besides, since Zhu Yingzhen is here, Jinyiwei must have secretly deployed manpower, and he is very well-informed. Gao Shishi even suspected that there would be a rare person on duty in the Beijing camp today......

It's also funny, these martial ministers and nobles who are basically the same age as Gao Pragmatic all ride free horses, only Gao Pragmatic, a descendant of Wenchen, instead rode a serious Mongolian war horse, and the horse is skillful, although I dare not say that the equestrian skills are exquisite, but there is also a look.

"Gao Shiyu, I didn't expect you to be famous in literature, not to mention it, but you are still an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, which really makes me ashamed." Zhu Yingzhen rode on a white free horse, and smiled and complimented Gao Shipra. Judging from his demeanor, I really can't see that he is dissatisfied with Gao Pragmatic.

"The little grandfather has an overreputation." Gao Pragmatic was also full of smiles, and explained: "The little brother was just a thief when he went out last time, and he thought that this equestrian skill had to be practiced, in case he encountered such a situation where the enemy was outnumbered again, and he could still run if he couldn't beat it......"

"The high attendant read and laughed, laughed." Zhu Yingzhen snorted and said, "Didn't the previous senior attendant read the enemy and I was outnumbered, what was the result?" still withstood the sneak attack of the brigade of horse bandits, not to mention, but also took advantage of the situation to wipe out the Xiangma horses that had been in trouble near Gyeonggi for many years in Baili Gorge, so capable, still need to run? ”

On the other side, Zhang Yuangong took over the conversation and said: "It is precisely this reason, according to the younger brother, most of the high attendants read this equestrian technique, most of them are practiced for the sake of completing their full skills - it is not enough to run away, you have to plow the court and sweep the holes, and it is only in one fell swoop that you can show the ability of the high attendant to read!" ”

Xu Xizhen of the Dingguo family also joked: "Gao Shishu is already so magnificent at such an age, and he will be a famous minister who will go out as a general and become a prime minister in the future, and the younger brother has no ability, so he has to congratulate him in advance." ”

Gao pragmatic hurriedly humbled on his face, but said in his heart: These guys are not very old, but they have learned the good ability to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts, but I am afraid that they can be regarded as family learning.

But thinking about it, I feel a little proud in my heart: Lao Tzu is fortunately born in a Wenchen family, otherwise even if he crosses over to become a royal clan, I am afraid that it will be rare for this group of guys to be so complimentary.

It's also funny to say that the power system of the Ming Dynasty really restrains each other: the emperor is afraid of civil officials, civil officials are afraid of eunuchs, eunuchs are afraid of nobles, and nobles are afraid of civil officials......

Of course, this statement is not absolute, many times it depends on the attitude of the emperor himself, after all, the shameless emperor is not afraid of anyone...... But it is true that Xungui is not afraid of eunuchs, even in the era when Wei Zhongxian put the civil official group half-dead, he had nothing to do with the then British duke.

At this time, Li Zongcheng said: "Although the high attendant reads the equestrian skills, but the Jingshi is peaceful, no matter how good this equestrian skills are, it is only at this time that I can wait for me to see a thing or two, and then the literary talent of the high attendant reading, that is really amazing." When my father first read "The Shadow of the Dragon Whip", he was very emotional, saying that if my family can produce such children, there will be no regrets. The younger brother was very ashamed to hear it, he had read the book for a few years, and he was still stumbling on the poems and texts. ”

Gao pragmatic said with a smile: "Poetry and literature are fighting this kind of thing, in the final analysis, it is better to read more, but it is not without the slightest know-how." ”

Li Zongcheng was surprised and said: "It is the truth to think more about reading, and my father also admonishes me like this, but the trick is ...... Would you like to mention something? ”

The children of the rest of the families have been cocooned by the elders at home these days, and they all looked at Gao Shi Shi when they heard the words, to see if this high-ranking attendant who has recently become a famous master in Beijing is really capable, or is he looking for someone to catch a knife to write the "Dragon Wen Whip Shadow".

"The younger brother once compiled a book about dual rhymes, and suddenly everyone asked, just say a few words casually." Gao Shishi's face is not red-eared or red, and he is not ashamed to say: "The sky is to the earth, and the rain is to the wind." Continents against the sky. Mountain flowers to sea trees, red sun to the sky. The thunder is faint, the fog is misty, and the sun is in the sky. The wind is high and the autumn moon is white, and the rain is red at sunset. The cow girl is about the two star rivers, and the two Yao fights in the west and the east. In October, the sassy frost frightened the brigade; On the Sandong River, the snow is cold and the fisherman is cold. ”

"The river is against Han, green is against red. Yu Bo to Lei Gong. The smoke tower is against the snow cave, and the moon hall is against the heavenly palace. The clouds are shining, and the sun is hazy. Clogs on fishing canopies. The stars are like arrows, and the moon is like a bow. Post travelers are in the plum rain, and the people in the pond pavilion are in the wind of lotus flowers. In front of Maodian Village, Haoyue falls into the forest and the rooster sings rhyme; On Banqiao Road, Qingshuang locks the whereabouts of the horses. ”

"Mountains to the sea, China to Song. Four Peaks to Three Princes. The palace flower is against the forbidden willow, and the goose is against the river dragon. Qingxia Palace, Guanghan Palace. Pick up the green on the topic red. Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, and Lu Wangzhao flies to bears. When the wind stops the summer fan in the north, the south eaves are exposed to the winter drying. The crane dances at the head of the building, and the jade flute cripples the fairy moon; On the Fengxiang platform, the purple flute blows off the beauty wind. ”

"Wonderful!"

"That's right! That's right! ”

"Gao Shishu is really good!"

The crowd praised it.

Gao Pragmatic smiled humbly, quietly glanced at Li Zongcheng, and said in his heart: This kid's level of sycophants is obviously higher than Zhu Yingzhen's, but this kid is not very bold in history, is he just a mouth cannon master?
