Chapter 12: The Edge Has Already Appeared (4)
When the official of the political hall came to the Han Mansion, Han Gang was in the small courtyard arranged by the family for the boss Han Zhong.
In the morning, Han Gang agreed to teach two archers. As a result, except for the youngest two, the other sons of the Han family all took bows and arrows to the small school field at home to practice.
Some time ago, they lived with Wang Anshi for a month, and the old couple Wang Anshi and the Wu family were happy, but the martial arts of the sons of the Han family were a lot stranger.
Wang Yan's only son Wang Chang has always been in poor health, Wang Chang is the same age as Han Zhong, and now under the teaching of Wang Anshi, he even began to learn the Book of Poetry, but he just couldn't learn martial arts, and even the two sons next to Wang couldn't practice martial arts.
So when it comes to the body, the cousins of the Wang family can't be compared with the children of the Han family. Bow horses and fists, the children of the Han family have practiced every day since they were children, and they jumped into the lotus pond in the backyard to swim in the summer, Han Gang will only encourage and never hinder. And Wang Anshi and Wu, where could they let their grandson strip naked and swim in the water? With Wang Chang's body, he will cough for a long time when he is exposed to a little wind in summer.
But there is also an advantage in the Wang family, there are people who supervise in literary affairs, and they are more beneficial than when they are at home. It's that the boss is a middle-aged person, much inferior to Wang Chang, not as good as a person in reading, and a little worse in writing poetry for pairs, although the second eldest in the family, Han Cheng, is a little wiser, but because Han Gang doesn't pay attention to poetry and songs, he hasn't been able to surpass Wang Chang much.
Han Gang didn't care, he cared more about the health of the children at home. Only a sound body can have a sound spirit, which is the principle that Han Gang has always believed. As for poetry and songs, it's too much of a waste of time and energy, and there's no need to learn it.
After watching his sons practice with their bows and arrows, while there was still some time before noon, Han Gang came to the small courtyard that had just been renovated at the suggestion of Wang Yi.
In ordinary people's homes, as long as they are still solid, when their sons are older, they will come out of the cubicle room more or less. In the official family, it was a separate courtyard.
Boys are getting older and are not suitable for living with their parents in the backyard. And every little one wants a space of their own. When he heard that he could have a small courtyard to live alone, Han Zhong was excited for a long time, and when the courtyard began to be renovated, he had to come to see the progress every day.
Seeing that his brother who had been playing together could live alone, Han Cheng also made a fuss about his own small courtyard, but his protest was immediately suppressed by Wang Yi, and he could only look at his brother with envious eyes.
Han Zhong's small courtyard, two before and after, is located in a corner of the house.
After entering the courtyard, the front is a plain wall, the back is a landscape painting inlaid with square tiles, and the stone foundation on the front and back sides is carved with the pictures of ancient scholars who are hard to read such as chiseling the wall to steal the light, sac fireflies reflecting the snow, and hanging beams and piercing stocks.
The house has just been painted, with whitewashed walls and plain walls, and it looks very neat. The beams and pillars were freshly painted, the glass windows were polished, and the roof tiles were renewed. The floor in the house is polished, and in the courtyard, except for the flower beds on both sides and two begonias, they are all paved with small square bricks, which are flat and slightly raised, and you will not slip when you walk on it.
In Han Zhong's living bedroom, study and living room, the furniture such as tables, chairs, beds and couches are all made of sandalwood, and even the four treasures of the study are of the highest quality given by the emperor. The shelves are full of subsets of scriptures and histories, with thousands of volumes, all of which come from the printing workshop of the Guozijian. Although there are not many decorations on the Duobao grid, they are all fine products, such as the three-color bottles and lacquerware in the Tang Dynasty, the bronze ware in the Han Dynasty, and the swords and Ge in the Qin Dynasty.
There is also a separate laboratory next to the study, with a telescope, a microscope, a Sinan, a complete set of glass experimental instruments, and a small celestial globe. This is the privilege that the son of the Qi Sect Master can enjoy.
Putting down the Taohe inkstone in his hand, and then looking at a huge landscape hanging on the wall, Han Gang shook his head, turned back to Wang Yi and smiled: "The lady has worked hard." ”
Han Gang knew that Wang Yi was afraid of being gossiped, so he piled up antiques and treasures in the house. If her own Han Cheng also went out to live together, it would definitely not be so luxurious. It's too hard, but in fact, you can see what you care about.
"What do you think?"
Wang Yi, who is usually very open-minded, was rarely a little nervous when he asked Han Gang how he felt.
"Su Xin, what do you see?" Han Gang asked his peers Su Xin.
"Isn't it too extravagant?"
Yan Suxin asked in a low voice, the things were good, but she felt that Han Gang's study didn't have such a good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Whether it's expensive or cheap, it's all used as ordinary utensils." Wang Yi said with a smile, "In fact, there is another set of daily utensils in the small warehouse next door...... What do you see, official? ”
"Let the eldest brother take care of it himself, this is his residence. However...... "Han Gang handed over a personal companion," bring the painting in my study. ”
Han Gang has two study rooms inside and outside, but the male servant can't enter the inner courtyard, let alone the study inside. But there is more than one calligraphy and painting collected and hung in the outer study, and he asked Han Gang hesitantly, "Participating in politics, which one is it?" ”
"Hanging on the wall facing the door."
"Mr. Wencheng's handwritten 'gentleman'?!"
Before his relatives could reply, Wang Yi screamed.
"That's it." Han Gang nodded, and commanded again, "By the way, bring the two characters on the left hand side of the table." ”
"Official, Mr. Wencheng's words are too precious." Yan Suxin hurriedly said.
This is indeed precious.
Zhang Jae did not leave many souvenirs to Han Gang. Aside from letterheads and manuscripts, there are even less. The pen holder of Zhang Zai's own book has always been placed on Han Gang's desk, and the painting he left for Han Gang before his death was hung by Han Gang Zhang in his study.
Wang Yi and Yan Suxin didn't expect Han Gang to give this painting to Han Zhong at all.
"It doesn't matter, the eldest brother is the eldest son in the family, and he acts as an example for the younger brothers, and he can follow Mr. Zihou's teachings better than anything else. Words don't matter, what matters is to follow the teachings. ”
"The child understands." Han Zhong nodded vigorously, he was in his early tens, and he could already understand the meaning of Han Gang's words, "The child must follow the teachings of his father and Mr. Wencheng, and never disobey them." ”
"That's good." Han Gang nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
Zhang Zai's 'gentleman's unspeakable' written by Zhang Zai, Zhang hung it in Han Zhong's study.
The other two characters are Zhang Zai's "Tou Yu" and "Stubborn", the so-called "East Ming" and "West Ming", which were recorded by Han Gang himself, framed, and hung up.
This is a gift that Han Gang prepared for his son.
"The yard is really bothered. When I was older, I would go to Hengqu Academy and communicate with scholars, starting with Kansai. Han Gang bowed his head to Han Zhong and said, "The eldest brother of your second uncle's family is in the academy, so you brothers will be closer and closer in the future." ”
Han Zhongzhi said who Han Gang was talking about: "Is it Jin Niang's husband?" ”
Although it is only a marriage, it is also his own son-in-law. However, the prospective son-in-law of the Han family was only in his early tens, so he arranged for Wang Hou to go to Hengqu Academy to receive the teaching of the famous teacher in Guanzhong. This time, Wang Hou went to Beijing, but he still left his son in the academy and did not bring it out. Han Gang didn't see it either.
"The eldest brother of the Wang family, although he is not as good as his thirteenth uncle, I heard that he is also a smart and stable child, and he should have a great future in the future. Maybe in a few years, he will be a top jinshi. Han Gang told his wives and concubines about the news he had sent someone to inquire about,
"If this is the case, it will be really gratifying." Wang Yi laughed happily.
"Official, the eldest brother's talent is indeed a little worse, in fact, it is better to change to a martial arts position in the future." Yan Suxin whispered, only letting Wang Yi and Han Gang listen.
If you want to keep your family for a long time, it is the safest to transfer to the military system. Especially with Han Gang, a father who is very well-connected in the army, others have to spend 12 points of effort, as long as they have the posture of a middle-aged person and the level of a mediocre general, they can also complete the feats that famous generals can only achieve with hard work.
Han Zhong is no better than Han Cheng, he is the eldest son but not a son-in-law, even if Han Gang can be crowned king in the future, and even let the descendants inherit the title, at that time, it was Han Cheng who accepted it, and it was definitely not Han Zhong.
"It's too early to tell." Han Gang shook his head and smiled.
He hadn't discussed the future of his sons with his wives and concubines in the past, but time flies, year by year, it's a blink of an eye, and now it can be delayed, and it won't even be delayed for two years.
Wang Yi wanted to say something more, but at this time, it was reported that someone had come from the political hall, and Han Gang went out to meet him, and he heard Han Jiang's message from the political hall.
Han Gang was inconvenient to be lazy, and said a word to Wang Yi and others, and did not forget to let Wang Yi go to appease his daughter, who had made an appointment to play chess, and immediately rode out of the house.
When he came to the political hall and saw the urgent report coming from the border, Han Gang shook his head with a wry smile: "Yelu Yixin will really seize the opportunity." ”
The Liao State is so big, although there are also incompetent people who serve as envoys, there are still not a few who can fight.
Yelu Yixin's father and son can also be regarded as a model of a tiger father without a dog. Goryeo and Japan said that they would fight after the fight, but instead the official army would fight it, where could it be so fast?
With the harvest of Goryeo and Japan, Yelu Yixin has laid a solid foundation in terms of material and prestige, and all that remains is the time.
And Yelu Yixin is indeed seizing the opportunity.
"Really?!" Han Jiang frowned his thick and gray eyebrows.
"Five or six points sure." Han Gang said that in addition, he could not think of any other possibility, let Nanjing Dao have an extra 30,000 cavalry, and stationed near the border.
"Since Yukun said so, then there is nothing wrong." Han Jiang sighed. He and Zhang Qi had actually made a judgment a long time ago, and they just wanted Han Gang to be sure.
"After enduring it for so many years, I finally couldn't bear it anymore." Zhang Qi sneered.
Han Gang shook his head, "It's time...... Usurpative! ”
