Chapter 239: Suffering

Chang'an, the capital city.

Xiao Jiading has read countless poems and allusions about Chang'an, watched countless stories and film and television dramas that happened in Chang'an, and finally was able to see Chang'an with his own eyes.

After entering the city, Wu Yueniang went into the palace to meet the saint and her sister Wu Zetian, but the eldest grandson Yanran personally accompanied Xiao Jiading to Dali Temple to report to Dali Temple.

Because Xiao Jiading was personally introduced by Prime Minister Sun Wuji, although it was just a small clothes, Dali Temple Qing Yuanshao did not dare to slack off, and personally arranged a place to live, living in Dali Temple, there is a separate courtyard, for Xiao Jiading, Qu Zhen, Nenzhu two pretty girls to live.

After settling the master and servant of the Xiao family, the eldest grandson Yanran wanted to take Leng Jian to apprentice.

Xiao Jiading squatted down and said to Xiao Lengjian: "In the future, you must listen to the master's words and practice martial arts hard." Is there anything that can come directly to me here? Do you understand? ”

Xiao Lengjian nodded, knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Jiading, but was pulled by Xiao Jiading: "The man has gold under his knees, in the future, no one will kneel except your master!" ”

Leng Jian nodded vigorously: "Jian'er remembers the words of the eldest brother." ”

After explaining, the eldest grandson Yanran took him away and drove straight to Fang Xuanling's mansion.

Fang Xuanling was an important minister of the first emperor Li Shimin, and this mansion was naturally very luxurious. However, Leng Jian didn't look around, he just wanted to see his master as soon as possible, and quickly start practicing martial arts to take revenge as soon as possible. Other than that, he has no interest in anything.

Finally, I arrived at a luxurious small hall and sat on a heavy nanmu couch. After a while, a few people came in, full of spring breeze, and arched their hands: "The eldest grandson girl is here, and the little one is far away, so forgive the sin in person." ”

The eldest grandson Yanran also hugged her fists and said, "Senior Brother Ke, is Uncle Ke where is his old man?" ”

"Yes. In retreat. ”

"Retreat?" Eldest Sun Yanran was slightly disappointed, "How long will it take to get out of the customs?" ”

"I've just gone into retreat, and I can't say when I'll be out, it's a month or two, or half a year. It's hard to say. It depends on the Master's practice. ――Is there anything wrong with my sister looking for a teacher? ”

"Hmm!" The eldest grandson Yanran gently stroked Leng Jian's head, "I want to recommend this child to Uncle Shi and ask him to accept him as a disciple." ”

Senior Brother Ke stroked his beard and smiled: "It's a trivial matter, why don't you run it yourself?" Sending someone to send him is enough, but whenever the eldest grandson and sister explain the matter, the family teacher has no disagree. Now the foolish brother is the master, and he agrees on behalf of the master. ”

"Thank you, brother!" The eldest grandson Yanran said to Leng Jian: "Hurry up and kneel down and kowtow, this will be your senior brother in the future, he is the eldest disciple of my senior uncle Wu Youdan, named Ke Sen." ”

Leng Jian shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao said, I only kneel down to worship Master." ”

Eldest Sun Yanran smiled a little awkwardly.

Ke Sen didn't care and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" He's right, I'm his senior brother, just be a courtesy. After that, he squatted down and patted him on the shoulder very affectionately, "Master is very busy with cultivating and guarding alchemy. Some martial arts masters at the beginning may ask me to instruct you, you have to work harder! ”

"Yes." Leng Jian lowered his head and hesitated for a while before he whispered, "My father said." I was born with small and fragile meridians, and I can't experience the impact of internal breath, so I am not suitable for martial arts, and I ask my senior brother to bother more. ”

"Oh?" Kirson was a little surprised. "Ling Zun is ......?"

"My father is cold, and he is the master of the dart game. Already...... Passed away. Leng Jian did not specifically say his father's death, he did not want to win the sympathy of others.

"Dart game?" Kirson frowned. He doesn't care about the dart game of running the rivers and lakes, and although this Leng Chi has strong martial arts, in view of the special industry of the dart game, he is very low-key, so not many people know about it.

Ke Sen thought for a moment, but he didn't have an impression, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry, although your parents are gone and you have no relatives, this will be your home in the future, and we will be your relatives." Do you understand? ”

Leng Jian's heart was hot, his eyes were a little moist, and he nodded vigorously: "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Ke Sen stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist vein, a gentle internal force was slowly injected, probed for a moment, and nodded: "Sure enough, your meridians are very fragile, and you can't cultivate internal strength." But it doesn't matter, martial arts are broad and profound, there are many martial arts that do not need internal force, and throughout the ages, there are also many martial arts masters who have not cultivated internal strength, and they have also become grandmasters. As long as you work hard, you will be successful. ”

Leng Jian was even more moved, and this was what he was most worried about. Now that I heard the affirmative answer, a stone hanging in my heart finally landed.

The eldest grandson Yanran said: "Since this is the case, then I will leave." He touched Leng Jian's little head, clenched his fists, and said goodbye.

Seeing the eldest grandson Yanran leaving, Ke Sen's smiling face turned into an iron plate, he turned his head to look at Leng Jian, and said coldly: "Follow me!" "Let's go ahead and lead the way.

Leng Jian's whole body stiffened by Ke Sen's cold glance, he didn't know what he had done wrong or what was wrong, he lowered his head and followed cautiously.

Ke Sen didn't go in front, and his voice was cold: "Practicing is going to suffer, if you tell the eldest grandson junior sister all the hardships you have suffered here, then you don't want to practice martial arts, do you understand?" ”

"Hmm!" Leng Jian said: "I can endure hardships. ”

"That's good! Your meridians are very fragile, if you don't train your meridians to be strong, you won't be able to practice martial arts, so at the beginning, you may be mainly arranged to do some things to strengthen your body, you have to understand the hard work of your senior brother. The most taboo thing about learning martial arts is to be in a hurry. Got it? ”

"Got it." Although Leng Jian said this, his heart was half cold, if he didn't practice martial arts earlier, it would mean that the time for revenge would be postponed.

While speaking, Ke Sen led him to a separate mansion, where the sound of Hohohaha's martial arts practice came from. But Kirson didn't take him in, but went around the outside fence to the backyard.

By this point, the hochloachal sounds were barely audible. A big fat woman with a meaty face came over with a smile on her face, nodded and said to Ke Sen, "Master Ke, you are here." ”

Ke Sen hummed and whispered a few words into the fat woman's ear. The fat daughter nodded frequently and said in a row, please rest assured.

Ke Sen said to Leng Jian: "You just live here, do things first, strengthen your body, and at the same time hone your will quality, and wait until your muscles and bones can practice martial arts." I'll pick you up. ”

Leng Jian hurriedly learned to arch his hand and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Kirson waved his hand. The fat woman went into the backyard with the cold stream.

Seeing Leng Jian entering, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Ke Sen's mouth. He turned and walked back, coming to a luxurious mansion. Two young men were sitting there talking, it was Fang Xuanling's grandson Fang Wuxuan and Chai Shao's grandson Chai Yuxuan.

When they saw him come in, they did not get up, but looked at him with great thorns. Before entering this room, Ke Sen was already smiling again, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Little one to meet the two young masters." ”

Fang Wuxian nodded and said, "How are things?" ”

"The eldest grandson girl really brought a little rabbit cub to apprentice, and I followed the instructions of the two young masters. I've sent him to the backyard to wash clothes with that group of girls. And I especially told the butcher's mother in charge to let her take good care of him. Hey. ”

Fang Wuxian nodded and looked at Chai Yuxuan: "How is it?" Are you satisfied with this arrangement? ”

Chai Yuxuan nodded, and said gloomily: "The eldest grandson Yanran doesn't take my surname Chai in his eyes, and makes love to that ugly monster in front of me." When I'm dead? That ugly monster has died on the island, and my breath is going to be sent to her! If you don't give her some color, she won't know that my surname is Chai and it's not easy to mess with! ”

Fang Wuxian chuckled: "I don't quite understand, why do you pour your anger on a child?" By virtue of the relationship between the two of us. Can you say no? ”

"Of course there is no problem." Chai Yuxuan's eyes were full of fierce light, "There are people in the entourage who followed the eldest grandson Yanran and them to Yizhou. Along the way, they reported the situation to me with a flying pigeon. Only then did I know that this eldest grandson Yanran is a lascivious woman with watery poplars! Along the way, the eldest grandson Yanran turned out to be the first genius in Yizhou. is also surnamed Xiao, a relationship with a broken clothes, very intimate. This child named Leng Jian was the one who asked him to help send him to apprentice. Now it's inconvenient for me to be too much with her eldest grandson. But I couldn't swallow this breath, and it happened that she sent someone to the door, so I took him out of breath. He can only blame himself for his bad luck! ”

Fang Wuji laughed: "I can't see it." How did you become so vicious now? Don't even let the kids go? It's not heroic,—but I like it! Hahaha! ”

Chai Yuxuan also laughed.

―――――――――――

Leng Jian followed Tu Ma into the courtyard, and saw a woman in the courtyard, old and young, sitting by countless wooden basins scrubbing clothes, chirping and laughing. When they saw Leng Jian coming in, they all looked over.

A thin woman said, "Mother Tu, who is this?" ”

"The disciple who comes to the laundry room to train will be sent to him for dirty work in the future!"

An old woman sighed, "How old is he?" What kind of dirty work can you do? ”

"You don't understand this, the boss said, let him come here, it's to temper the quality of will. If you don't work, how can you temper? - Leng Stream, go fetch water! ”

"Oh." Leng Jian walked to the well according to the direction pointed by Tu's mother, and looked at the big bucket that was almost up to his waist, where did he do such rough work at home? Didn't even look at it. I don't know what to do for a while.

Tu's mother walked over and slapped him on the back of the head: "Fuck, Brother Gongzi and Young Master are just different from us, and they can't even fetch water." Look, the old lady will teach you, only teach once, if you can't learn, the old lady will whip you! ”

Seeing him being beaten, the women in the courtyard turned a blind eye. He only cares about washing his own clothes.

Tu Ma put a bucket tied with a long rope into the well, brought a bucket of water, and poured it into the bucket next to the well. gave Leng Jian another slap on the back of the head: "See?" ”

Leng Jian didn't say a word, picked up the bucket that carried water, put it into the well, scooped the water, and lifted it up. This bucket of water is too heavy, he is seven or eight years old, where can he lift it. The onlookers laughed.

Tu's mother slapped him again, and this time, it made him stumble. Pounced on the stone platform in the well piece. Tu's mother scolded and scolded: "Fuck, what are you doing?" Can't lift water? Can't you mention it a little less? Dog's Day Underwhelming! As he spoke, he gave him another kick in the ass: "Don't you want to work soon?" How many times do you want the old lady to say it? ”

Leng Jian gritted his teeth and stood up, grabbed the bucket rope, and shook out more than half of the water, only then did he pull the remaining small half bucket of water up with great difficulty and put it in the bucket.

By the time he filled a bucket of water, he didn't know how many slaps and punches he had received on his ass and head. He didn't say a word, he wanted to lift the full bucket of water, but now he realized that the bucket was too full for him to lift at all.

Tu's mother was even more annoyed, and gave him another punch and kick when she split her head and covered her face, Leng Jian was beaten to the point that her head was bleeding, and the women in the yard still didn't seem to see it, and only cared about washing their clothes, as if such a thing was no longer strange. He threw himself forward and crashed into a bucket of water, knocking it over.

Tu's mother was even more furious: "Okay, I'm so good to teach you, you actually lost your temper and knocked over the bucket?" Okay, the old lady won't give you a little color, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean you up. With that, he took out a long whip from his back and whipped it Leng Jian's body.

Leng Jian screamed in pain, but as soon as he made this sound, he stopped screaming, just biting his lip and enduring it. Tu Ma saw that he was not angry, like a piece of wood, and she was even more annoyed, and the strength in her hand was even greater, crackling, and the leather whip hit him like raindrops, until she finally fainted by the well.

The women remained indifferent and went about their own business.

Tu's mother saw Leng Jian fainting, so she brought a basin of dirty water for washing clothes and poured it on him, and Leng Jian slowly woke up.

"Lift water!" Tu Ma said sharply, "Otherwise, the old lady will kill you!" ”

Leng Jian was in a scorching pain all over his body, he endured the pain, got up, walked to the well with difficulty, and began to carry water. This time, he learned to be obedient, and only carried a small half bucket, filled a small half bucket, and carried it vigorously to add water to the women who were washing clothes.

Leng Jian had to carry water for these people one by one, he was too small to carry too much water at a time, so he could only run one trip at a time. When he had run away, he could not lift any longer, and fell down with the bucket in front of a woman, and the water splashed on her, who was furious and grabbed and beat her.

Finally, when they heard the sound of clouds eating in the distance, the women threw down their clothes and bowls, and ran to eat.

Leng Jian stood there blankly, he felt that his hands no longer belonged to him. He didn't know whether to go with him or not, his stomach growled, but no one greeted him.

At last he went with him, and when he reached the kitchen, he saw that it was full of women, and besides the women who were washing clothes, there were also other rough maids and old mothers in the house. A room full of people sat down. Sitting at the long table and eating with her head down, a middle-aged woman like a fat pig held a large wooden basin with half a pot of boiled pork slices in her hand, and she was using a spoon to add vegetables to the women one by one. From time to time, I quarreled with the women. (To be continued......)
