Chapter 123 Small Groups

"Childe thinks that this time to Europa, what is the effect?"

At home, Kang Buxian saw that Liu Yu was not in a very good mood after coming back, and thought that something was wrong, so he asked.

Liu Yu was still thinking about Chen Zhen, and when he heard Kang Buxian ask, he actually didn't have any bottom in his heart.

"It's hard to say. In the tenth year of Wanli in the previous dynasty, Japan also sent a youth league to visit Europe. It's been 150 years, right? Later, the one-eyed dragon Date Masamune also built a Galen ship, crossed the Pacific Ocean, walked around Mexico, and went to Spain. On the opposite side of the road with those youth leagues, it can be regarded as a round-the-world voyage, just a section short of South America. But what's the use? ”

The 10th year of Wanli is an extremely important year for Asia.

That year, Matteo Ricci set foot on Chinese soil for the first time, Japan sent the first Asian mission to Europe, Gregory changed to the Julian calendar, and since then the Gregorian calendar has been established, and the Catholic Church has been able to tear apart the absolute defenses of culture with the calendar.

One hundred and fifty years have passed in a blink of an eye, Date Masamune's Galen has become the last swan song, and the Japanese Youth League in Europe is facing a closed country after returning from the European Youth League.

Liu Yu has a lot of worries, but it's useless to worry.

What will become of this mission will not be known until three or five years later.

Kang Buxian knew a lot of Liu Yu's plans, and as a chivalrous and trustworthy person recognized by Liu Sheng, Liu Yu also discussed a lot of things with him.

Hearing Liu Yu talk about Japan, Kang Buslack said: "Japan is closed to the rest of the country, and according to Gongzi, he is worried about Catholicism. During the Chongzhen period of the previous dynasty, didn't there be an incident among the congregation? Now that I am sending people to Rakshasa and France, even if religion is banned, there is communication, so I don't have to worry too much. ”

Liu Yuxin said You don't understand, I'm not worried about things like the ban on religion cutting off communication, but I'm worried that those people have seen a lot of things they don't want to see.

If you really want to go out and take a look, you can see the good and the bad, the key is what kind of eyes to see.

There is no way to avoid the bad of budding and enlightenment as long as enlightenment and germination are good.

When he was worried, a little servant came over and said: "Third master, some people outside say that it is your old friend, and there is no post." only said that his surname was Du, and he was an acquaintance in northern Xinjiang. I picked up some things and waited outside the door. You see......"

"Surname Du?"

Liu Yu was happy and said with a smile: "Yes, Mi Ziming's eldest brother is here." I went to meet him. ”

When Kang Buxian heard this surname, he also smiled and said: "This is the 'official fan boy' that Gongzi said?" ”

"Hahahaha, that's right. The lad is not bad. Zhongxian and sit quietly, I will come when I go. ”

followed the little guy around to the small gate and went out through the corner gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Outside the door, Du Feng was standing there, probably frightened by the gate and door of the Guogong Mansion, and he had never been afraid of the lead bullets flying around the city that day, but now he was a little afraid in the face of the huge stone lion and the vermilion gate.

Followed by a horse, there is a bit of d'Artagnan's posture when he first came to Paris, a horse that was originally quite majestic, but now it is also frightened by the traffic in the capital and is a little sluggish, the saddle is hung with muskets and sabers, the good things on the battlefield, when you arrive in the capital, you are quite poor and sour.

There were two pockets of things next to Du Feng, bulging.

"Oops, Du Feng!"

When Du Feng saw Liu Yu, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Liu." ”

Glancing at the two pockets beside Du Feng, Liu Yu smiled and said, "What, do you think that our Yiguo Mansion is short of food and clothing?" ”

The adult laughed. It's just that I want to come, and it's one thing for my father to say that adults don't want to be, and it's another thing for me not to bring some gifts. This door in my lord's house is worth all the land of my house. It wasn't worth much, a few catties of dried mushrooms, fungus, two mink skins, and a few ginseng sticks bought from North Koreans. I don't know what to bring for the first time, so I hope you don't want to laugh. ”

The little guy behind him hurriedly carried the two pockets into Liu Yu's courtyard, and another guy came to help take the horse away and feed it.

Liu Yu did not go to the corner gate, but took Du Feng straight to his small courtyard.

Before entering the door, Du Feng also looked back at the tall stone lion and the majestic vermilion gate, and marveled at the shining gilded beast head knocker.

Liu Yu's courtyard has no female dependents or maids, just some small maids to follow.

asked someone to make tea, introduced Kang Buxian again, and sat down with the guests and hosts.

I haven't seen him for nearly a year, and I am somewhat rusty, Liu Yu first showed off and said, "Hey, Du, you may not know." I now have another Wenxun Zanzhi Shaoyin on me. I went into the upper house again, and my thighs were almost thick enough. You followed me at the beginning, right? ”

deliberately showed off, Du Feng gradually let go of his crampedness, and seemed to return to the atmosphere on the battlefield at the beginning, knowing that Liu Yu was telling him not to be restrained.

"Your Majesty has a merit. Now I have also been admitted to Wude Palace, and I will officially enter the school in a few days. ”

"Okay, get what you want. There is a place to stay in Wudeok Palace, so come and sit with me when you have nothing to do in the future. Just go through the small door, I have a lot of trouble at home. My brother is the eldest brother, and I can't get involved in family affairs. Besides, you have just entered the Wude Palace, to be honest, even if you meet my father, you can't actually help much. Let's not bother. ”

Du Feng's heart warmed, knowing that what Liu Yu said was the truth.

This way from Shenyang to the capital after the exam, I only went to Jilin Shipyard before I grew so big, and the first time I arrived in the capital, I was really stunned.

After asking where the Yiguo Mansion was, and seeing the gate of the Yiguo Gong, under the pressure of the stone lion, there was not only the cringe of the small and humble rank, but also the rhapsody dream that his own family would be able to mix with the gilded beast ring of the vermilion gate in the future.

Under this kind of coercion, Liu Yu is still the same as he was that day, and what he said is still the truth, which makes Du Feng's heart warm.

After a few sips of tea, Liu Yu asked the servant to fetch a cigarette plate, and invited a cigar from Macao from Luzon, which was rolled with dried tobacco leaves, and Du Feng saw it for the first time.

Liu Yu sent the little maid to call the steamed buns over.

After the embarrassment of not seeing each other for many days, he asked, "How is it, is it easy to take the test?" ”

Du Feng put down the cigar and smiled shyly.

"It's pretty simple. As I have heard, the one who translated the last few volumes of the original geometry was sent to the Acropolis of Handoli because of something bad. Thankfully, I learned well. I am not from a good family in the old fifth camp, and I am finally qualified to apply for the medal because of my father's chopping and cutting out of people. The north of Liaodong is all in Shenyang, in fact, there are not many people, take a few, I am the first name. ”

Liu Yu roughly knows the examination process of Wude Palace, the basic plate of the Liangjiazi of the old fifth battalion, the Juntian system and the Yitian system, as the Liangjiazi is not the serf of the previous dynasty, but a low-level military nobleman, who is a spokesperson, and is also a group of soldiers who can be trusted by the emperor, and it can also be regarded as the basic plate of Yulinwei of Dashun.

If it weren't for the good family of the old fifth battalion, his father would have a meritorious position, or he would have paid a lot of money to buy an exam place.

This is a force directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and the management is still very strict, and the people on the other side of the imperial examination can't get involved.

Du Feng is lucky, not to mention a blessing in disguise, but if it weren't for someone who was exiled there, it is estimated that he would not have been admitted to Wude Palace in this life.

"Xiao Du, what I said that day, do you take it to heart?"

"Well, I remember what you said. In the future, I will definitely learn more about sailing. By the way, where is Master Shu now? ”

"Proud of Brubutu? He's guarding the town in Heilongjiang. Promoted to General Xuanwu and hung the seal. Now he has the post of Xuanfu envoy, mainly in charge of the border trade, fur trade and other things there, and by the way, he patrols the border, collects mink tribute, and builds a trade city. You don't know this? ”

"Well, I went to Shenyang and didn't go home after the exam. My father asked someone to bring me some souvenirs, which I really haven't heard of. So, it's a high ascension? ”

Liu Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Gao Sheng doesn't count." The place in charge is thousands of miles in radius, but it is large. It's a pity that there are not many people. He can't control too many soldiers in Zhichong Mansion. Make do with it. But it's also a good place to get it. Now the Rakshasa is trading with us, and two ports have been opened. Tea raw silk rhubarb or something, it must go to Mongolia, and it will not be reluctant to go far. But furs and the like, still have to go to the Jingqili River to trade, I greeted him, he collects mink, and the Rakshasa people are not allowed to trade privately, and it is estimated that he can get a lot of money a year. After a while, I will see if I can get a shipping route from Vladivostok to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, get some cloth, ironware, etc., and directly exchange skins with the local tribes to make a difference. ”

It doesn't sound like a high ascension, but it's a bitter cold place.

But Du Feng also understands the difference between promotion and award, this Shu Tu was just a fifth-grade official that day, and he followed Liu Yu to the fourth-grade in just two years.

Of course, there was a reason for the siege of Shilka River Castle later, but if he didn't follow Liu Yu, there would be no such opportunity.

Now that I have hung the seal, I still have a place that seems to be bitter cold but is actually full of oil and water, which proves that the choice of the day is correct.

Follow along, there is meat to eat.

Not long after, the steamed buns also came. Before the ceremony, Liu Yu first talked about the steamed bun and the surname of the word, Du Feng also knew the meaning of this, and only called Brother Ziming.

"It just so happens that Xiao Du is here. I'm also a lot more relaxed. In a few days, I will find a teacher who understands Latin, and Xiao Du will learn Latin with Ziming, and then also teach Ziming geometry. How close you two are, I'm also relaxed. ”

"I have a small courtyard outside the Wude Palace, and there is no one at home who goes to the Wude Palace to study, so you just live there. Come to me when you're fine, Kyoto House, it's not easy, I'm still okay with a meal of meat. ”

After speaking, he pointed to Kang Buxian and said: "Mr. Zhongxian is talented, if you don't understand anything about history in the future, you can ask him." ”

The small group of several people gradually got acquainted with each other and had a meal together. Liu Yu also spared most of the day to accompany Du Feng to walk around the capital.

When he returned home, he sent some worthless souvenirs that Du Feng had brought to the backyard.

Mother heard Liu Yu talk about Northern Xinjiang, and she remembered this young man deeply, and she also knew that Liu Yu had tricked people into tricking him into making big things. I heard Liu Yu say that he was so scared that he burst into tears, and his face with badger oil in the cold wind froze, and he laughed a few times.

Knowing that it is not the son of a good family in the old five camps and there is no son of a nobleman, and it is a person who comes out of the Kushan Gougou and the Folded Chong Mansion, he must be a character if he can be admitted to the Wude Palace. Although there is luck, but smart and hard work are also indispensable, and it is always right to make more friends with such people.

said that the exchange of favors is indispensable, but giving the silver seems to be like coming to fight the autumn breeze, but it is a little despised by people.

So he asked the maid to find two good satins, and only said that Liu Yu would hand them over and ask someone to cut two clothes to wear in the capital. And put on a few stacks of paper, brushes, and the like.

Hearing Liu Yu talk about the steamed bun again, her mother smiled and said: "After all, it is the person who goes out of the house, not only does he not look down on the maid, but his vision is high, so he also has affection in it." ”

After pondering for a while, I found two pieces of jewelry that were as cheap as possible, both of which were given by others during the New Year's Festival, which had never been used, but fortunately, the style was not arrogant, and asked Liu Yu to bring it over, and said it was for his sister.

Before leaving, her mother stopped Liu Yu again, withdrew the maid, and said with a smile: "You have the intention of being a matchmaker, and you should think about your own affairs, right?" ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that he was a mother in his last life, and he was a mother in this life, and he was also urged to be a mother in this life, so this thing can't even stop time and space?

Seeing Liu Yu smiling bitterly, her mother said, "What are you smiling wryly?" In the future, you will be separated, the family affairs have nothing to do with you, who you have to marry, that is your eldest brother and second brother's business. You just want what you want, but you have to give me an explanation, is it tall, short, fat and thin? Is it knowledgeable? Or what? ”

"This ...... Uh......"

This question is really difficult to answer, I can't even see each other before I get married, and it is likely that the first meeting and the night are the same day, and it depends entirely on luck.

Anyway, it's definitely going to get married. It's actually easy for him to get married.

There is a beautiful maid swift in the quilt, and there are no rubber products in these years, if you don't marry a maid who has a wife to accompany the room, you will get pregnant first, in fact, there is nothing wrong.

One is that he does not attack the lord, and the other is that he does not marry, if it is really a marriage, it must be the so-called "right family".

If the concubine gives birth to an eldest son, the woman's family will definitely respond, but if she doesn't marry, she doesn't have to worry about this.

The key is that his identity is not embarrassing or embarrassing now.

If it's just a casual rider, that's easy to say. But now that the limelight is in the limelight, it's hard to find.

He has too many things to do, and the few things he does are really shocking.

In these years of Lianlian, those who are qualified for marriage will definitely not think of marrying their daughters to such a dangerous person.

Hearing his mother ask, Liu Yu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mother, but there is one thing, I don't want to bind my feet." Don't stuff the gourd either. Anyway, I can't be the master, so my mother will help me see it. But if it's a foot wrap or a stuffy gourd...... In the future, it is inevitable that the mother will be troubled. The chicken dog is restless, that's a set. ”

The mother shook her head with a smile and said, "If you don't bind your feet, it's not difficult." In Xungui's family, there are also fewer young ladies from the imperial examination. Stuffy gourd, don't say you don't like it, even I don't like it either. Nothing else than these two, right? ”

Liu Yu smiled, spread his hands, and read a poem.

"If the catkins are not raised by the wind."

When my mother heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Your requirements are high, after a thousand years, you can compare with them...... Or Li Yi'an? Or Shangguan Zhaorong? ”

"When Taizu raised the army, although there were brave and good fighters in the healthy women's camp, they lacked Xie Daoyun's talent; There are many women who can sing the silk, but they are less heroic. Wen Neng composes lyrics to pass on the eternals, and Wu Neng does not raise a knife to kill the enemy in danger...... You really want to think so......"

Halfway through the sentence, he didn't seem to bother to go on.

Liu Yu is also a hippie smile.

"Mother, you see, there is always a gap between what I want and what I can do. It's not up to me to decide what kind of marriage you have. Helpless, isn't that just the two? One can't wrap your feet, and the other can't be a stuffy gourd. If it is better, then it can be regarded as a blessing of virtue. ”

Seeing that Liu Yu was not in shape again, his mother only smiled and asked him to go.

Out of the house, I was talking to this just now, thinking about the sentence "If the catkins are not raised by the wind", I thought, but I said that Sister Lin is "Yongxucai", is it possible that in the real version, Sister Lin really wants to train her family, carry a knife to kill, and become a concubine general?
