Chapter 158: Drama Letter
PS: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass.
The two of them discussed an afternoon to draw up the charter, and when Cao Shi reacted that it was already evening, he hurried back to the Hou Mansion before the city gate was closed, and it was already time to hold the lamp when he arrived home.
Princess Liu Wan of Yangxin said brightly: "Gentleman, the concubine is trying to discuss something with you." β
"Xijun is dressed so beautifully today." Cao Shi glanced at it, his wife Liu Wan was wearing a tie-dyed bird dress, and a hanging dress on the bottom, cutting a generous and decent new Hanfu according to the standard of traditional tops and bottoms, and gently pulling up the corner of the long skirt to reveal black silk stockings.
"Oops, it's annoying to move your hands and feet before you eat! If you mess around like this again, the concubine won't talk to the gentleman! Liu Wan rolled her eyes and pulled his hand away.
Cao Shi touched his cheek and smiled bitterly: "I'm just looking at what color you're wearing......"
It just so happened that Wei Junru walked in, and Liu Wanden made a big red face, glanced at it and said, "You still say!" β
"Okay, okay, then I won't say it's not enough, what do you want to discuss."
Liu Wan glanced at him, and pulled Wei Junru to sit over: "Actually, it's not a big deal, Xia Yu's girl is not young, I want to ask the gentleman if he plans to accept it or how to arrange it." β
"Let it go, I haven't even touched her hand, and I obviously don't want to be in the room anymore, I told you last time." Cao Shi said without thinking.
"Don't you feel sorry for the gentleman?"
"What's the pity, there are thousands of beautiful women in the world, I can all be included in the room? I don't have the ambition of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Know how to be happy and do what you can. β
Liu Wan looked at her husband suspiciously, as the saying goes, no cat doesn't steal, since Liu Ling's incident came out. She kept a lot of eyes on her husband, and she was relieved to hear that Liu Ling had disappeared inexplicably, and her husband was smart and cautious, and he would never make a scene of hiding Jiao in the golden house.
Xia Yu is her maid, and the little girl of a few years old has been following her until now, Liu Wan has always wanted to pull her maid into her husband's room, but several matchups have not been successful, and Cao Shi has never called Xia Yu. I figured it out a few days ago that eighty percent of the husband felt that Xia Yu's body was too thin and her curves were not good-looking. The posture that has been cultivated in the court since he was a child is not very pleasing, so he has no intention of being included.
"How does the gentleman plan to arrange Xia Yu's whereabouts? Her temperament has always been lonely and self-contained, and she can't stand it if she is promised to ordinary domestic servants, so she has served by the concubine's side for many years. There is no merit and hard work, and the concubine doesn't want her life to be sad. β
Cao Shi thought about it and didn't pay attention, there are many young strong guys in the Hou Mansion and Hou Guo, and it is not difficult to pick a good man who is responsible and daring to be a husband, but if you want to add a bunch of requirements, it is not necessarily, and other idle and talented men have already found good relatives and are waiting for marriage, Xia Yu is a woman who is unwilling to be a concubine, and the higher her heart, the more difficult it is to find the person she likes.
Seeing the sixteen-year-old girl, even Liu Wan had to sigh all day long for the maid's marriage. There is no need to mention what Xia Yu's mood will be.
Wei Junru blinked and smiled: "My sister is too busy, maybe I don't know, there are many young talents who have sent flowers to Xia Yu recently, and one of them is very good." β
"Oh? Who are you talking about? β
"The swordsman of the dramatist. Drama letters. β
"How could it be him?"
Cao Shi and Liu Wan spoke in unison and looked at each other.
"The son of drama Meng, it's not appropriate." Liu Wan looked at her husband with suspicion.
There is no doubt that Ju Meng is a popular ranger in the past 30 years, invincible when he was a teenager, and his reputation for serving the heroic Zhu family moved the world. Whether it is swordsmanship skills or the way of dealing with the world, they have already touched the big names at the level of the four princes of the Warring States.
This kind of person. In the opposition is a ranger who moves the world, and in the dynasty he is a powerful general with high prestige, and Li Guang, who is known as the "flying general", is precisely the basic form of the drama Meng in the dynasty.
If it weren't for his great reputation, with the pride of Zhou Yafu, he would never condescend to a ranger, and even call each other a confidant, the name of Ju Meng itself represents an invisible potential force.
This potential force is the rangers, since the birth of the Warring States Seven Heroes for hegemony, the rangers have become a stubborn disease that is difficult for the court of the Han Empire to overcome, to put it simply, this group of rangers is the underworld of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Wan is the royal princess of the first emperor's concubine, and the golden branches and jade leaves are delicate and noble, and she is in contact with the upper nobles of the empire, although she has a soft temperament and treats people kindly, and never likes to treat people with a shelf, it does not mean that she will like a group of rangers who disturb the peace.
The Han family etiquette is on the table, promoting filial piety and honesty to select talents, emphasizing virtue and reputation, no matter how good the reputation of the ranger is, he will not be selected into the filial piety and incorruptibility talents, and the county is too shou to arrest him, even if he is polite, how can he not give an underworld leader a chance to raise filial piety.
No matter how famous the drama Meng is, he has no chance to become an official in the court, his identity is an invisible ceiling, and only Zhou Yafu reuses him regardless of his background.
Zhou Yafu was dismissed from his position and was at home, and the drama Meng had to return to Luoyang City and stay closed, and he died depressed within a few years.
"The concubine doesn't have the idea of discriminating against the drama letter, but she just thinks that the two are definitely not a good couple, the concubine knows Xia Yu's temperament very well, she won't like a ranger." Liu Wan explained softly.
Cao Shi groaned: "That's it, let that kid chase after him and try it, if he has the ability, he will chase him back to be a wife, and if he doesn't have the ability, he can't complain that we didn't help." β
He still got angry early in the morning according to the habit he had developed over the years, took a cold shower with well water, and jogged around the Hou Mansion for two quarters of an hour.
It's just dawning.
The family members of the Hou Mansion continued to train in June, and when Ji Xin ran around the Hou Mansion, he was followed by hundreds of people.
"Breathe, breathe! Pay attention to the rhythm of your breathing! A rapid march of eighty miles in one day, this is the standard set by the prince for the Yulin cavalry, and the degree of running and formation above the battle in the future is particularly important, you must remember carefully, there must be no half-point difference! β
The snake can't do it without a head, and the drama letter leads the team and acts as the leader of the small leader. He has been receiving intensive training with Yulin Cavalry, and his strength and endurance have been greatly improved, and he has not felt tired at all after running more than a dozen laps with the team.
The family members of the Hou Mansion have been trained for many years, and the foundation is not bad. The adaptability of the first contact with high-intensity militarized training is acceptable, at least it is better than the table of Yulin riding, but because the nutrition is not as good as that of the noble children, the improvement of performance has become a major problem, after all, I have only eaten meat for a few years, and a few years ago I still used beans and corn as the staple food.
Whew!
Sun Qi dodged Wang Meng's three swords in a row, but he didn't have time to fight back. The chasing three swords struck again, and after the three swords, there were three more swords. The endless sword light rolled backwards.
For a while, like a storm at sea mixed with endless storms and rains pouring down, Sun Qi was like a lonely boat drifting in the sea, struggling to maintain balance in the raging waves.
A few times, Sun Qi thought that the sword momentum would turn from strong to weak, and then the gap between the next sword would kill the horse pistol. However, Wang Meng's swordsmanship is really exquisite, once he is allowed to seize the opportunity, it will be difficult to form a counterattack, and he will be able to entangle Sun Qi step by step so that he can't get rid of it.
Thirty-six swords passed in more than a dozen breaths, and the sword light in Wang Meng's hand weakened suddenly, and the two of them pulled away and stood still.
"The deadly chain in the killing sword, the power is really as amazing as the record, I didn't expect my brother to really practice it!" Sun Qi wiped the cold sweat on his head, and with the fact that the skills of the two were quite weak, he couldn't keep his hands at all when he was fighting. Even if the blade of the sword was not opened and was slashed, it was a serious injury, and in the short few breaths just now, he walked more than a dozen times outside the ghost gate. It can be seen that the power of the deadly serial chain.
Wang Meng breathed rapidly and his face flushed, and it was his limit to take out thirty-six swords in one breath, requiring a unique explosion and breathing skills, and if he was slightly different, either the sword was out of shape, or he was strained by the qi and let himself suffer.
In order to practice one of the sword-killing stunts, Wang Meng spent nearly ten years practicing day and night. It wasn't until a few years ago that the body and explosive power reached the peak that this trick was practiced.
After a long while, Wang Meng's breath gradually stabilized. Said slowly: "The skill of killing the sword is broad and profound, from raising, practicing, and killing the three ways step by step until it reaches the peak, with our ability to practice the foundation solidly, and learn a body stunt to dominate the world, how is your stunt practiced." β
A gust of wind blew lightly, and the bright white light flickered gently, like a dream bubble, only staying in the pupil for a moment and then disappearing without a trace.
Wang Meng stared at the action of returning the sword to the sheath and was slightly distracted, that was Sun Qi's sword-killing stunt, the sword was like a flash of light, silent, killing people invisibly.
The three of them have all learned to kill swords, Wang Meng exploded endlessly like a net to entangle people to death, Sun Qi silently exploded to take people's lives and quietly collected the sword, Zhao Meng is fierce and unstoppable battle killing techniques, each took a different path according to his heart.
"The power of ancient swordsmanship is amazing, I really can't figure out what kind of person would create such a powerful swordsmanship."
Wang Meng recalled: "I only remember that the master once said that the previous generation of descendants died in the Chu-Han War, and the previous generation died in the assassination of Yingzheng, and then the famous general of Yan State, Ju Xin, continued to trace back to the point that it is unclear, it seems that King Zhou Zhao led the six divisions to attack Chu and failed, and the six divisions died of no son of heaven, and the external pretense was that they were attacked by rhinoceros and fell into the river and died, and then an invisible force appeared, I think it should be some people who protect King Zhou." β
"Don't worry about that, I heard that there are people in the world who can practice all the killing swords, I wonder if the leaders of this generation have practiced all the stunts?"
"The drama Meng will have two stunts, my master has practiced three stunts, and some hidden old people also have two or three stunts, it is said that the Zhu family is proficient in four of them, and the leader brothers will not be less than four, as for whether it is more or less, I don't know."
The two of them flickered as they spoke, and they were secretive about the names of some of the people, who belonged to a loose Assassin Order, which originated in the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, and had completely lost its binding force on the Assassins until now, but even if it was just an empty honorific title, it still maintained a strong deterrent effect.
"What a pity! Our generation has not produced a talented sword genius, with you and my talent to lay the foundation in twenty years, and then ten years to practice stunts is already the limit, from my master's group of strong men in the early Han Dynasty, they mastered the first stunt at the age of twenty, and mastered the second stunt at the age of thirty, and then it depends on chance and luck. β
"Today's young people are lazy and hardworking, and they are far less patient and persevering than we were then. Looking at the world, the new generation of rangers has not produced a decent talent, and if it continues like this, it will not be passed on for three generations, and the sword killing will face the crisis of cutting off the inheritance. β
The two peerless swordsmen are worried about the future. I can't imagine what a tragic story it would be for the Ranger to lose his function as an assassin and become a ruffian in the land of fish and flesh with his strength.
The drama letter returned from jogging outside the house with the morning exercise team, and the young family members had layers of white air on their heads, and their faces were ruddy and energetic, and they couldn't see the tired expressions of the finished steps.
Wang Meng nodded, and practiced until he jogged for two quarters of an hour (3o minutes) and his body was not tired. The breath of one breath and one breath remained stable and normal, indicating that the servants of the Hou Mansion had already had a good foundation. You can proceed to the next step of advanced training.
The queue dispersed, and the servants of the commander of the drama letter each led their weapons to practice, and no one in his swordsmanship was his opponent, so he simply led the long sword towards the two.
"What do you say about this kid?"
"Drama letters? Qualifications and talent are enough. It's just that it's too young to worry about it, and what you need to practice to get to that point is great perseverance and great wisdom, let's see if it's going to talk about it! β
The two silently stared at the high-spirited young man, thinking that his father was in his early twenties, mastering the stunt and dominating the world, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
Perhaps, he is the right person for the next generation to protect the prince.
The imperial court stipulates that there is a court meeting on five days, and a bath rest on five days, except for the court meeting day and the Mu rest day, the remaining three days are handled in the government office. You have to ask what you do after dealing with kung fu? The rules set by Cao Shen when he was prime minister were to drink and play and do whatever he liked, as long as he didn't go out of the circle of Han Law. When the prime minister saw him, he didn't speak happily.
Under Huang Lao's inaction-oriented strategy of governing the country, the civil and military officials have something to do, and no one cares if they sleep when they have nothing to do, and they can do it if they don't do anything, but when the boss reaches out to deal with the results, any quibbles and refuges are useless. If you are caught, take off your official hat, and according to the criminal law, you will be able to endure the ghost salary or finish the city, and the iron rice bowl of your future for a lifetime will be thrown away.
The Han family's handling of malfeasance is simple and rude. But for capable bureaucrats, it is simply a year-round holiday, Cao Shi often acts as a shopkeeper, arranges things to deal with some government affairs, and then takes people to the racecourse for training, or goes to the shooting range to practice riding, and is busy for two or three months throughout the year, and is really comfortable at other times.
"Bang!"
The bowstring bounced back and forth on the inside of the bow arm, bending the bow like a full moon and arrows like thunder, and an arrow went straight to the wild boar fleeing a hundred meters away.
This was a large-scale hunt, Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, with two hundred Lang Wei, followed by two thousand newly joined Yulin riders, more than 2,000 bows and tens of thousands of arrows, and launched a killing in Shanglin in the northwest of Nanshan.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the jungle, and Cao Shi felt that his mount was very irritable, and he turned his head to look left and right at the current horse team, and there was a commotion of different Cheng dΓΉ.
In just a few moments, thousands of animals emerged from the woods, ranging from foxes, hares, pheasants, sika deer, boars, and goats to ferocious predators such as jackals, gray wolves, tigers, and leopards.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Thousands of arrows came out of the string, and the black pressure fell into the herd, which suddenly reduced the huge herd by half, and the remaining animals were so frightened that they dodged and fled for their lives, but none of them escaped the siege under the baptism of the rain of arrows.
"The table is very good! I love these Feather Riders, they are comparable to the best horsemen of the Northern Army. β
The fully armed knights of the feather forest are majestic and majestic, daring to lead the army to break into the forest full of fierce beasts, and also drive the jackals, tigers and leopards out of the deep mountains and dense forests.
Yulin Cavalry looked solemn and not half complacent, and the leading few cavalry captains replied proudly: "Your Majesty! Let's not be a knight comparable to the Northern Army, if we want to be a unique knight! β
"What a unique knight! You're good! With you, I feel that the Han family has great hope, and you are the future of the Han family! The Son of Heaven waved his horsewhip in high spirits, and the three armies cheered in unison, he had not been so happy for a long time.
Lang Zhong Linghe, who accompanied him, always had a calm face and was not very pleasant, it was obvious that Yulin Cavalry was a new branch of troops outside the northern and southern armies and Lang Wei, and the supply treatment was directly allocated from Shaofu, except for the Son of Heaven, no one could call them, he felt that Lieutenant Zhang Ou was not thoughtful, and it was a bit of a meaning to let the tiger return to the mountain.
"What is Lang Zhongling thinking?"
"Hmm! I was thinking that in a few days the envoys sent by various countries would come to the capital, and I heard that the princes of several of them had come in person, and I was wondering how to receive those envoys. β
"Isn't that the duty of the Great Order? The new Daxing Ling Tian Wei has been in office for less than a month, and Lang Zhongling has to give one or two more guidance. β
"Don't dare, I don't dare to direct the things of the Great Order."
Cao Shi and he were chatting nonsense, seeing that his expression was not very happy when he mentioned the Great Order, and he was very unhappy that Tian Wei picked up a good messenger as soon as he came up, and the status of the Great Decree ranked last in the Jiuqing, and he was not as good as the high-ranking Lang Zhongling, but it was a great sweetheart to catch up with the Great Order, and the reason was naturally to put it on the matter of the countries to make the court.
This thing is done well, Liu Che, the son of heaven, can mention Tian Wei to Jiuqing with a stroke of his pen, and the three princes and Jiuqing are afraid that they will have to bow their heads and accept their fate without even having a chance to oppose it. Who made Tian Wei the uncle of the Son of Heaven, belonging to the class of relatives who have ascended to the sky.
Lang Zhong Linghe doesn't like Cao Shi, because this kid is arrogant and doesn't listen to greetings, but he hates his cousin Tian Wei who relies on nepotism to climb up.
Cao Shi is no longer likable, after all, he is capable and capable Jiuqing, at the age of sixteen, he was famous and shocked the world and was scolded as a madman by other people, but there is nothing strange about him, he has a lot of credit, hard work and helpfulness regardless of gains and losses, which is Cao Shi's biggest advantage.
Does Tian Wei have any outstanding political achievements? No, he is just an ordinary Lang official, who has been mixed in Lang Wei for 20 years, and has been promoted again and again by virtue of the Queen Mother, maybe he is a little clever and cautious, but when it comes to governing the country, the understanding of the classics is far behind, especially he is still a Confucian student, and in the eyes of the Huang Lao School, it is simply heinous.
Lang Zhong Linghe believes that his dislike for Cao Shi is an internal contradiction, and his dislike for Tian Wei is a contradiction between himself and foe.
Cao Shi took the initiative to show goodwill and said: "I have two hundred new compound bows of one stone, and I give them to Lang Wei's elite soldiers, I hope you will train more and improve your skills, so that the Son of Heaven can see your changes and get more opportunities for promotion." β
"Then thank you Shaofu for your generosity!" Lang Zhong Linghe said. (To be continued)
