Yu Zhongwen is the queen of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, and he is an extremely important figure in the Luoyang Hao clan and the Guanlong Group, and Mai Zizhong is polite to him, but it is normal.

It's just that Yan Qing thought about it again, although the Yu family of the Eight Great Pillars Country is not a scholarly family, it has been inherited for more than 100 years, and it is also a wealthy family. Zheng Yanqing has never met Yu Zhongwen, but more than three years ago, he met Yu Zhongwen's brother, Yu Zhonghua, a master of Yixue. Yu Zhonghua's demeanor is very elegant, even if Yu Zhongwen is different, it is impossible to say such words as a man in white. Therefore, Zheng Yanqing immediately overturned his initial guess.

The man in white didn't seem to care much about Yan Qing, and squinted at Mai Zizhong.

"Maizi, I know what is on your mind, but if you use this way to fight with others, you will inevitably be suspected of bullying others.

If it reaches the ears of others, it may be counterproductive.

You want to fight with others, you want to compete against others...... Hehe, I have an idea, I wonder if you're interested? ”

Mai Zizhong hurriedly said: "I wish to hear the teachings of Grandpa Yu." ”

"What about you, baby?"

Zheng Yanqing also got off the horse at this time, looked at the man in white, and was noncommittal.

The man in white smiled and said, "Baby, your horse is good...... After begging for the cold, Nanyuan Racecourse will have Xiaoguo to bow for His Majesty. Maizi, if you are interested, why don't you bow with this baby before Xiaoguo appears?

If you win, your majesty will not blame you for this. What do you think of this idea? ”

Mai Zizhong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Maizi is willing to follow what Grandpa Yu said...... Zheng Yanqing, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, let's have a double-door bow at Nanyuan Racecourse, with eight people each, and the winner will be determined by ten goals. However, those who lose must leave Luoyang before the first day of the first lunar month. ”

The man in white suddenly smiled and nodded again and again.

"Yes, the winner is determined by bowing, and the winner holds the beauty, which is what the big husband does."

"Then it's decided, Grandpa Yu, Maizi farewell!"

After Mai Zizhong finished speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and left with his general. Zheng Yanqing's eyes widened, his mouth opened a few times, but he couldn't stop it. Whether it was the man in white or Mai Zizhong, it seemed that he had neglected him...... The man in white said: "Baby, prepare well, there are still fifty days before the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and when the time comes, help me teach that old madman a hard lesson." ”

"But ......"

"The big husband has said it, the horse is difficult to chase, don't be verbose, it's decided!"

After speaking, the man in white took the pawn and left leisurely.

Zheng Yanqing got on the horse again, looked at the back of the man in white, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These people are afraid that they are used to being high-minded...... He didn't want to have any arguments with Mai Zizhong, but now, he, the client, seems to have become a supporting role. Why didn't anyone come and ask his opinion?

"Doorman, who is that person?"

When he went out of Jianguomen, Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but ask his uncle.

Menbo Zhengse said: "That's the former governor of Fengzhou, the general of the Zhuguo country, the general of Yujuluo!" ”

Yukura?

Zheng Yanqing was startled on the horse, and said in his heart: It turned out to be him.

Speaking of Yukura, it was not very famous in later generations. At least it is more obscure than those well-known Wagang heroes. But in fact, this Yujuluo is a very famous figure since the founding of the Great Sui.

This person is a native of Xiabang County, Fengyi County, and at the age of a weak crown, he was born in Qianniuwei. The battle of Pingchen, because of the merit and worship the opening of the mansion, to the emperor, the Jiangnan bandits, Yang Su invited Yu Juluo to go along, every battle must have meritorious service, was named Gaotang County Gong.

In the last years of the emperor's reign, Yang Su attacked the Turks from Lingzhou Road and invited Yujuluo to accompany him again.

This man only led a few horsemen to charge into battle, and defeated the Turks, so he moved to the position of general of Zhuguo and governor of Fengzhou.

It is said that when Yujuluo was in Fengzhou, the Turks did not even dare to raise livestock on the fortress, which shows the power of his people.

If according to the book of war: there are fierce generals and wise generals in this world, Yujura undoubtedly belongs to the sequence of fierce generals. It's a pity that he has a brother, because of his tyrannical surname, he killed his generals and was dismissed by Yang Guang. Later, Yang Guang released him, but he couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide...... caused Yang Guang to be afraid of Yu Juluo because of this incident.

In the middle of the year, he took advantage of the bribery case of the general Liang Boyin to depose Yujuluo's official position.

But even so, in the eyes of those ministers of the Sui Dynasty, especially in the eyes of the children of the powerful, Yujuluo is definitely an idol-level figure. No wonder Mai Zizhong saw Yu Juluo, just like a mouse saw a cat, honest.

Zheng Yanqing scratched his head and urged the horse out of the Jianguomen.

He was full of worries at the moment, but he didn't know that after he left Luoyang, the gambling contract between him and Mai Zizhong spread quickly.

Located on the north bank of the Luoshui River, the copper camel workshop is also an industry under the name of the eldest grandson's family.

The surname eldest grandson has appeared as early as the Western Han Dynasty. But this eldest grandson is not his eldest grandson, the eldest grandson of Luoyang City, originated from the Northern Wei royal family. In that year, Emperor Wei Xiaowen changed his Han surname to Tuoba to Yuan surname, and one branch became the surname of the eldest grandson, which means that the descendants of the royal family Changmen. Later, when the Yuan Clan Chronicles were compiled, the hall name was set up as Perak Hall.

Although the Changsun clan is also a member of the Guanlong group, compared to other Guanlong nobles, the people of the Changsun clan are not prosperous.

During the Northern Anniversary, there was only one eldest grandson, Jian, who served as the governor of Jingzhou in the early years of the emperor's reign.

By the time of Changsun Sheng's generation, the number of people seemed to be even thinner than before. In addition to Changsun Sheng, there are also two brothers of the same clan, so that it is difficult to compare with other powerful people.

The winter nights are long and the cold is unbearable.

In a mansion in Tonghufang, Changsun Sheng read the official documents in the study and coughed lightly.

At the beginning of the year, he toured with Yang Guang to the north, but unfortunately contracted a cold. Changsun Sheng had an illness when he was a child, so much so that he fell into the problem of qi disease, that is, asthma. Once overworked, the disease is prone to flare-ups. Originally, Yang Guang was also ready to let him serve as a county guard, but considering that the burden of the guard was too heavy, he changed his mind halfway.

Stationed in Luoyang and served as the general of the Right Tunwei, on the one hand, out of trust in Changsun Sheng, and at the same time, he also hoped that he would recuperate.

After all, Luoyang is now the capital, although there is no name of Yanjing, but there is the reality of Yanjing.

Famous doctors gather, and the items are also very rich, so it is very convenient to raise them. It's just that Changsun Sheng is a master who can't be idle, even if the general of the Right Tunwei doesn't have much to do, he will still work every night until after the hour.

After packing up the official documents, Changsun Sheng got up and prepared to go out.

The door of the study was pushed open at this time, but I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman walking in with a little girl with a three-haired bun.

The little girl was about five or six years old, and her raw pink carvings were as cute as a white porcelain doll. As soon as she entered the house, she broke free from the beautiful woman's hand, opened her arms and shouted happily, "Daddy, hug!" ”

"Guanyin, my father has been busy all day and is very tired...... Don't quarrel with him. ”

"No matter what, I just want my dad to hug me!"

The eldest grandson Sheng's thin cheeks showed a kind smile.

He squatted down, picked up the little girl, and then pressed his forehead against the little girl's forehead, causing the little girl to giggle.

"Madam, why haven't you rested yet?"

Changsun Sheng hugged the little girl and sat down next to the bookcase.

The middle-aged beautiful woman is the wife of Changsun Sheng, Gao. Speaking of which, after the Gao family was still a member of the Northern Qi royal family, he married the eldest grandson Sheng and had a son and a daughter. Changsun Sheng has three sons, and the eldest son, Changsun Xingbu, is born by his ex-wife and is also the person with the most Changsun Sheng's style. It's a pity that during the rebellion of Yang Liang, the eldest grandson Xingbu was ordered to guard Taiyuan, and the city was broken and killed.

The second son, the eldest grandson, Heng'an, and the third son, the eldest grandson, are all from the concubines.

Originally, after the eldest grandson Xingbu died in battle, it should be inherited by the youngest son, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji born by Mrs. Gao.

I don't know what the eldest grandson Sheng was thinking about, but he gave the merits of the eldest son to the second son of the concubine, the eldest grandson Hengan, as the general of the eagle. However, in private, Changsun Sheng still prefers the youngest daughter, that is, the little girl in his arms, the eldest grandson is innocent, and her name is Guanyin.

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "In the evening, Grandpa Pei's daughter Shuying pulled me to play backgammon, and I just came back for most of the night. ”

"Oh, Sister Shuying has come to Luoyang? When? ”

"The evening before that...... However, she didn't say much, and she just asked me and Princess Guangping to go over today. ”

"Oh, is Princess Quang Binh okay?"

"Looks good!"

Princess Guangping, the third daughter of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, married to Gongyu Wenjingli in Ande County. And the Shuying in Mrs. Gao's mouth is Pei Shiju's youngest daughter Pei Shuying, who is a resolute and assertive woman. In his early years, he married a small bureaucrat Li Dewu, and later due to the change of Prince Yin, Li Dewu was assigned to Lingnan, and it has been six years.

Pei Shiju originally planned to let Pei Shuying remarry, but this little daughter resolutely disagreed, and Pei Shiju was helpless.

The relationship between the Gao family and Princess Guangping and Pei Shuying is very good, Pei Shuying is over, and the Gao family naturally wants to visit.

Changsun Sheng didn't care very much, put his daughter on his lap, and while playing with Wuji, he asked, "You haven't seen each other for a long time, did you say something interesting?" ”

Gao shook his head, "Not really, Shuying said that she was begging Grandpa Pei to recall her Langjun from Lingnan, and she also asked me to ask you, if you have the opportunity, please speak for Li Dewu in front of Your Majesty." However, I was not resolute in agreeing. ”

"Li Dewu has been to Lingnan for seven years, and His Majesty doesn't even know that he is such a person.

Well, I don't think it's too much of a problem, you tell Shuying another day, just say that I should do this, and I will find an opportunity to talk about it. ”

Changsun Sheng is a person who makes a promise, and he usually doesn't easily promise others anything.

But since he agreed, he will try his best to do it. Mrs. Gao nodded, and was very happy that Changsun Sheng agreed to this.

"By the way, when I came back, I heard about something."

"What's the matter?"

"General Mai's grandson had a conflict with Banyuanjun in Jianguomen, and was later stopped by Yu Laozhuguo, and agreed to take a bow competition on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month...... Oh, speaking of which, I misunderstood Banyuan-kun before, thinking that he was a frivolous person.

I heard that in the middle of the afternoon, Yuanjun and Cuiyun were talking about poetry in Dading Restaurant, if he was really a light person, according to Cuiyun's surname, how could he go to see him? Shuying said that the previous rumors did not know where they came from. At noon, when she and Cuiyun went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, they also asked Cuiyun...... Looking at the meaning, Cuiyun has a good impression of Banyuanjun. ”

"Oh?"

Changsun Sheng suddenly stopped playing with Wujian and turned his head to look at Mrs. Gao.

"Mother, I know that Banyuanjun is the little brother who is spirited, right?" Wuji, who was sitting on the lap of Changsun Sheng, suddenly spoke.

The eldest grandson Sheng was stunned, "Guanyin has seen Zheng Yanqing?" ”

Mrs. Gao was also stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "That was a long time ago, when the emperor was sick, you were the general of the left leading army, and you were the internal guard of the palace." At that time, I was with Guanyin, and there were ...... Travel back to Luoyang. On the way to Xiangshan Temple to incense, I happened to see Xiao Langjun going to the school to study. I glanced at it, but didn't talk. ”

"Oh!"

Changsun Sheng nodded.

No wonder Mrs. Gao didn't mention it, it turned out that she just glanced at it.

He lowered his head, looked at his daughter who was flushed and fluttered, and said with a smile: "My family's Guanyin's maid's urgent surname is really good." ”

"Hehe, that Xiao Langjun is really outstanding, how old was he at that time?

Riding a donkey, dressed in white, he has a bit of a celebrity style...... I've seen a lot of handsome people in the past two years, and they're about the same age as Banyuanjun, but there are only a handful of people who can compare with them. Tang Guogong's second son is counted as one...... It's just that there is more than enough heroism, but the elegance is slightly insufficient. Other than that, there really is no one who can compare to him. ”

Changsun Sheng didn't ask again, his expression seemed to be very calm.

He played with his daughter for a while, got up with Wujian in his arms and said, "Madame must be tired, and take Guanyin to rest." ”

"What about you?"

"I, hehe, I'll go in a while."

Mrs. Gao took the little girl away, and the eldest grandson Sheng sat next to the brazier, gently stirring the charcoal fire with an iron fence.

This time, he accompanied the escort and went out to patrol the northern Xinjiang, and Li Yuan, who was too guarded by Lou Fu, suddenly found him and asked him to accept Zheng Yanqing as his protégé.

Changsun Sheng also knows Zheng Yanqing's name, and agrees with Yanqing's poems and articles.

So when Li Yuan mentioned this matter, he agreed. It's just that he didn't understand at that time, what is the relationship between Zheng Yanqing and Li Yuan? Li Yuan explained that Zheng Yanqing was a student of one of his clansmen. His brother was very concerned about Zheng Yanqing, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would abandon his studies, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would be bullied in Luoyang.

So he begged Li Yuan to find a teacher for Zheng Yanqing.

And Li Yuan thought about it for a long time and felt that Changsun Sheng was the most suitable.

Changsun Sheng became interested in Zheng Yanqing...... The little guy is well-written and has a reputation as a prodigy; is also a member of the Zheng family, although he is not a descendant, but he can be regarded as a famous disciple, and it doesn't hurt to accept him as a disciple.

It's just that when did Zheng Yanqing have a relationship with the Li family again?

Not many people know about Yanqing's apprenticeship. No one would think that a teacher who makes a living in a clan school can teach a demonic disciple like Zheng Yanqing. The Li family is the queen of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, and the main members of the Guanlong aristocracy, and Zheng Yanqing is the son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, from the Kwantung family. These two made Changsun Sheng think about it.

didn't think about it, so he returned to Luoyang, and before Changsun Sheng had time to meet Yan Qing, he heard about his indecent Miss Pei family.

This made Changsun Sheng very unhappy, and felt that although Yanqing was talented, he was a person with shallow virtue.

was thinking about how to talk to Li Yuan about this, and refused to accept Yanqing as a disciple. Who knows, Yan Qing actually launched an action...... Why did you meet Pei Cuiyun at Dading Restaurant in such a high-profile manner at this time?

Changsun Sheng's heart moved, revealing a strange smile.

This half-edged gentleman should be fighting back! In the simplest way, to counter the rumors that slandered his virtues.

Didn't you say that I was rude to Pei Cuiyun? If I did such a thing, how could Pei Cuiyun sit at the same table with me?

Well, this kid's methods are very direct, but they are also very effective...... It's just, how can such rumors suddenly come out? Is it really a rumor that the matter is untrue, or is someone deliberately creating a rumor? Changsun Sheng had to think about it like this, if it was really artificially created, he could not care about the face of the Pei family, and the person who created the rumors himself was probably not an ordinary person.

When it comes to the position of Changsun Sheng, there are often more things to consider.

Accepting Zheng Yanqing as a disciple can make him befriend Li Valve, which is certainly a good thing; But if you offend other people because of this, it is not a pleasant thing.

Well, take another look!

See if anyone is playing tricks on the scenes, and see who it is.

—————————————————————————— Yanqing returned to Zhuyuan and told Wang Zheng about the conflict with Mai Zizhong.

When Xu Shiji heard this, he immediately said: "Yanqing, I'm very afraid." That Mai Zizhong is nothing, and we may not lose to him. ”

"But the problem is, I can't bow it!"

Zheng Yanqing smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Shiji.

Hitting a bow is also called hitting a ball or hitting a ball. In layman's terms, it's polo...... As for its origins, it is difficult to say clearly. Anyway, during the Sui Dynasty, bowing was a very popular outdoor sport.

Together with cockfighting and step bow, it is called the three major outdoor sports.

Among them, cockfighting has no distinction between high and low, and Buju is a sport similar to football in later generations, which is quite popular at the bottom of society. Whereas polo was limited to the nobility and the military. Because there is one of the most basic requirements for playing polo, to have a good horse.

For poor families, the price of a good horse may not be able to earn it in their lifetime.

Not to mention the high cost of horses, the cost of raising horses is even more high. Good horses have strict requirements for forage and other aspects.

Raising a horse may be worth more than the horse itself.

Yan Qing was lucky, and Zhang Zhongjian gave him a jade hoof; Xu Shiji's father, Xu Gai, is also a wealthy businessman, so the mount is not bad. But what about the others? How many people can have Yanqing's luck and Xu Shiji's family background?

"You can't bow, why do you agree?"

Yan Qing scratched his head and said, "I didn't agree, and people didn't ask my opinion." ”

Thinking about it, whether it is Yu Juluo or Mai Zizhong, how could they care about Zheng Yanqing's thoughts. Yanqing has a good horse, and polo is the most prosperous outdoor activity in this era, and the combination of the two can be concluded that Zheng Yanqing will also bow ...... If Yanqing didn't have Jade Hoof, or Yujuluo would come up with other methods.

But he has such a good horse, Yu Juluo naturally has a preconceived belief that Yanqing can play polo.

Since you can play polo, you must have a bow companion...... Besides, Zheng Yanqing is a child of the Zheng family, and it is normal for him to be able to bow.

In the final analysis, it comes from Yuhojun's body. Yu Juluo will not ask Zheng Yanqing at all, since it is decided, then do it!

Xu Shiji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Then what should I do?" ”

Shen Guang suddenly said: "If you don't know how to bow, you can learn." Young Master Zheng, the biggest problem you are facing now is that counting you and Young Master Xu, you only have two people and two horses...... I guess you can't refuse, so you have to go to war.

Eight people in a two-door battle, you are still missing six men and six horses! ”

Yes, I can learn if I don't know how to bow, but there are six people missing, and there are six good horses, where can I find them?

Xu Shiji stroked his cheeks, "What Brother Shen said is right. ”

Yan Qing is not very familiar with the children of the powerful in Luoyang, and he is competing with Mai Tiecane's grandson, even if he knows some people, I am afraid they will not help him fight. No one, no horse, what's the use of learning to bow down?

"Brother Shen, will you bow down?"

Shen Guang smiled, "I've fought with people a few times before...... Well, count me in, there are still five people missing, six horses. ”

"Horses ......" Zheng Yanqing thought for a while, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, anyway, there are still fifty days before the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and I can think of other ways." But how do you look for this man? Also, What does it take to hit a bow? ”

"Eight poles, preferably a wooden staff; A field for practice.

As for Muju, it's not difficult to do, there are many in the market, just buy it back. The key is that you can find enough people and horses. ”

Sui and Tang polo will not be equipped with protective gear.

It seems that in a very luxurious movie in later generations, it is basically impossible for a certain 'international chapter' to participate in the competition with protective gear.

Yan Qing thought for a while and said to Xiong Da Hammer: "Grandpa Da Hammer, I will ask you to go to the Xiong Ji shop tomorrow and ask the steward to send a letter to Zhang Zhongjian and Brother Zhang." He said that I needed ten good horses, and asked him to try to send them in twenty days. ”

The first thing he thought of was not the Zheng family, but Zhang Zhongjian.

This guy has a lot of connections in the Western Regions, and maybe he can solve the problem of horses.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will visit Dou Mansion to see if I can borrow horses and venues from Dou Mansion first. Let's practice, wait, and look for ......" Yan Qing said, scratching his head and smiling: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, we are a group of living people, is it possible to suffocate urine to death?" ”

This was not elegant at all, but it was right for Shen Guang's appetite.

"I can figure it out."

Shen Guang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "There are many Hu merchants in Tongyuan City, who also like to bow down, and there are also people who specialize in making bow sticks. I'll take a walk and see if I can pull a few people over. Even if you can't find someone, you can solve the problem of bowing the cane first.

Young Master Xu, don't be idle, let's all move...... You are responsible for teaching Young Master Zheng to bow down, how about it? ”

Xu Shiji was suddenly happy!

To be honest, it's hard to be friends with Yanqing.

It's not that Zheng Yanqing is bad, but that he is too good and too good...... Brilliant enough to be with him, the pressure doubles.

This guy is excellent in poetry and books, has literary brilliance, and is more proficient in martial arts.

It seems that there is nothing in this world that he can't do, and even sencha is superior.

Now, there is finally something that this guy can't do, and it seems that he is just an ordinary person, but he is just a little smarter.

Xu Shiji finally found something smarter than Yan Qing, he was always criticized by him before, now it's time to change me!

Zheng Yanqing saw his thoughts from Xu Shiji's smile.

I couldn't help but laugh too...... Don't look at him Xu Shiji as the military god of the early Tang Dynasty, but in the final analysis, he is only half the size now.

The haze in my heart seems to have weakened a lot all of a sudden.

Yan Qing put his arms around Xu Shiji's neck and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, in the next fifty days, it will depend on you!" ”

(To be continued)
