Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the place where the envoys of various countries are not afraid of the danger of their lives are thought of reaching, and the envoys, merchants, scholars, and craftsmen of many countries are vying to go to the Tang Dynasty for friendly trade, and people from all over the world gather in the prosperous city of Chang'an, creating a prosperous scene of all countries coming to worship in the dynasty.

During the Kaiyuan period, the society was stable, the world was peaceful, commerce and transportation were also very developed, Yangzhou was located at the confluence of the canal and the Yangtze River, Chinese and foreign businessmen gathered, Chang'an City was particularly prosperous, lively and extraordinary.

Although the imperial court has clearly stipulated the time limit of the fang market, but it has not been able to prevent the prosperity of the private fang market, over time, the imperial court has also acquiesced to the existence of the Chang'an City night market, and no longer restricted, the brilliant night, the lights of thousands of homes sprinkled with orange halo, the huge Chang'an City appears lively and open.

The crowd is bustling, wandering among them, as if stepping into the ancient and prosperous picture scroll, as dreamy as beautiful, the fang market at night, the lights are brilliant, there are craftsmen who set up stall business, there are children holding sugar people or rock sugar gourds, and there are also talented ladies who add Kong Ming lanterns.

The most attractive to children on the streets of Chang'an are those vendors, the theater, the streets, full of their stalls, there are candy blowers; those who play musical instruments; There are those who sell cold flour dough; There are also carpentry toys; There is also an octagonal palace lamp......

Everything is available, but where the adults and children go, everywhere is filled with a joyful and lively atmosphere, Feng Xu and Feng Luan two people walk in the bustling Chang'an street, happy and happy, how can the Turkic territory be so prosperous and fun, they pestered their father Khan until late, ate a lot of snacks on Chang'an Street, and then reluctantly arrived at the post station.

The Great Khan sat on the second floor of the guest room of the post station, looking at such a prosperous Chang'an City through the open window, and remembered his closed Turkic territory, full of endless grassland and cattle and sheep, if it encountered the weather of a sandstorm, it would be a disaster, such a prosperous Tang Dynasty must be his Turkic territory could not be built, after all, the geographical location is different, no wonder the lackeys in the Western Regions are like the Tang Dynasty, and now it is not easy to come all the way to the Tang Dynasty, the matter of the Gaochang territory has not been negotiated, what should be done after going back, He suddenly had a slight headache, he turned around and looked back at Feng Xu and Feng Luan, who were already asleep, these two children had been playing for a day, and they were really tired.

Early the next morning, Mo Xingyao was in a daze, and was woken up by Ye Xuanqiu, Mo Xingyao was coaxed by Ye Xuanqiu to finish breakfast, Yan'er followed the third lady, Ye Wanqiu pulled Mo Xingyao, Qinglong heard the password brought by the third lady in the morning, and waited at the door of the house early, and their group walked towards the West Cross Courtyard, and Chihu ordered all the soldiers to go to the second courtyard of the West Cross Courtyard for training.

This training ground is only for the presence of the lady and the major general, because the lady is prominent, the soldiers naturally can't be on the side, Mo Xingyao saw that today's mother personally accompanied him to train, thinking that it must be what his father and mother said last night, he can only honestly follow Qinglong to practice archery, but today is too early, his little head is very sleepy, and now he can't even shoot a stake, and the arrow swishs, and he doesn't know where to shoot.

Ye Wanqiu looked at Mo Xingyao's training state, no wonder Mo Lin personally supervised Mo Xingyao's training in archery a few times, every time he returned to Zhiqiu Courtyard, he had to get angry, Ye Wanqiu looked at Mo Xingyao like this, and his anger also came up, this kid, when he was training, he was not serious at all, he was procrastinating, he was very lazy, he had to go to the toilet for a while, he had to drink water for a while, and he said that he was tired for a while, and he wanted to sit and rest for a while.

Now she finally understands why the general has such a big fire every time, Ye Wanqiu looked at Mo Xingyao's appearance, and also wanted to get angry, Mo Xingyao has been training for a long time, and he didn't see his mother say to let him rest, he looked at Ye Wanqiu like asking for help, if it was usual, Ye Wanqiu looked at Mo Xingyao's pitiful little eyes, he would definitely let him rest, according to his wishes, but this time, Ye Wanqiu said ruthlessly, "If you can't shoot the target today, you will keep shooting, you can't rest halfway, Yao'er, when did you hit the arrow target, When you rest, your mother will always be with you. ”

Mo Xingyao saw his mother say this, he could only stubbornly start to draw the bow and shoot arrows again, there is so much training today, it can catch up with his training volume for several days, his little hands are red, and there is a slight pain, what did his father say to his mother, so that his mother treats him like this today, his mother is like a different person, today is extremely fierce, Mo Xingyao thought about it and his eyes turned red, but he still blinked his eyes and didn't let the tears fall.

Manly, big husband, there are tears and no flicks, Mo Xingyao has been training against the scorching sun until noon, and only barely hit the outermost link of the arrow target, but finally hit the arrow target, Mo Xingyao did not have the joy he imagined, he only felt very tired, this morning was called by his mother to get up and come here to train, training all morning.

Ye Wanqiu watched Mo Xingyao finally shoot the arrow target, and was a little happy in her heart, sure enough, it was still very useful to impose training, she was not too happy to see Mo Xingyao, she must be tired, at this time Qinglong just played a round, "Madam, this young general has also improved so much today, it is already noon, presumably the young general is also tired, I will send my wife and the young general back to Zhiqiu Courtyard first, it is not too late to train tomorrow, the young general can shoot the arrow target, and it is very easy to shoot the ten rings in the future." ”

Seeing Qinglong say these words in time, Ye Wanqiu got up from the chair, squatted down and said to Mo Xingyao, "Yao'er, are you tired, you see that you just hit the arrow target, so, this archery, you have to keep training, if you train more often, it will naturally be, if you had trained like today before, you would have been able to shoot the ten rings a long time ago, okay, for my mother to listen to your stomach growl, let's go back to Zhiqiu Courtyard to see what delicious things Xiao Xiazi burned for us." With that, Ye Wanqiu got up and took Mo Xingyao back to Zhiqiu Courtyard together.

Mo Xingyao walked on the road, the scorching sun was shining, and his little hands were a little painful, although this bow and arrow was tailor-made for him by his father, but this non-stop drawing of the bow, archery, drawing the bow, and archery, it took a lot of strength to pull the bow away, and his little hands were reddened, but he didn't want to tell his mother, his mother was so strict with him all of a sudden, and he would definitely stand with his father in the future.

If it was left in the past, Mo Xingyao would definitely feel very delicious when he looked at the big table full of lunch, but today he looked at the table full of food, and only felt that the food was tasteless, he perfunctorily sandwiched some food and put it in his small mouth, only felt that there was no taste at all, he liked to eat meals so much on weekdays, and he didn't know what was wrong today, and he lost interest in food all of a sudden.

Ye Wanqiu looked at Mo Xingyao's pitiful appearance, if it was in normal times, she would definitely coax him with good words, but thinking about what the general said last night, and remembering that she had promised the general that she would not fall short because of this, so she said ruthlessly, "Yao'er, you eat quickly, take a nap after eating, and memorize your homework, and when your father comes back, if you check your homework, if you can't answer, your mother can't help you!" ”

Mo Xingyao flattened his mouth, and wanted to cry aggrievedly, why was his mother so strict with him today, it seemed that he wanted to go to the amusement park in the backyard in the afternoon, and he was completely soaked, he lay silently on his small bed, closed his eyes, Ye Wanqiu saw Mo Xingyao like this, he could only sigh a sigh, walked to Mo Xingyao's small bed, touched his little head, and saw that he didn't open his eyes open, so he could only turn around and leave.

Mo Xingyao was thinking about things in his heart, and he really fell asleep after thinking about it, and after sleeping for a while, he was woken up by his mother, who stuffed him with a book of 300 Tang poems in his hand, and he had to let him memorize the poems, he could only shake his little head and keep reading it there, but his little head couldn't remember it.

When it was dinner time, my father came back from the palace, and when he arrived at Zhiqiu Courtyard, he asked Ye Wanqiu, "How is Yao'er's archery today?" Ye Wanqiu saw the dusty general, and hurriedly replied, "General, I specially supervised Yao'er today, Yao'er is fine with archery today, she can shoot at the arrow target, she has made great progress, isn't it, Yao'er." ”

"Yes, Father." Mo Xingyao raised his head and looked at Mo Lin, wanting to get a compliment from him, today he finally hit the arrow target, but Mo Lin just nodded lightly, their family of three finished dinner, Mo Lin sat on the chair, and asked Mo Xingyao to recite the Tang poem "Silent Night Thoughts", Mo Xingyao memorized "Silent Night Thoughts" for an afternoon, and now his father checked it, he easily recited it, staring at his father's face, originally thought that his father would be very happy to hear that he could recite it, but his father's expression was still faint.

His heart dimmed all of a sudden, and at night Mo Xingyao lay on the bed, pretending to be asleep, and heard the conversation between his father and his mother, his father will not go to the court tomorrow, and he will be in the general's mansion, and he also told his mother that he will personally supervise his archery homework tomorrow, and if he still can't shoot arrows, he can only punish him.

Mo Xingyao was very scared in his heart, in the middle of the night, he saw that his father and mother were both asleep, he dressed himself, secretly opened the bamboo window, and looked at the big round moon above his head outside, the moonlight was sprinkled in his backyard playground, he suddenly felt very sad in his heart, even if he tried hard, he still couldn't get the affirmation of his father, not even a small word of encouragement.
