Chapter 164: Ice Butterfly Crying Spirit
There are very few cultural and entertainment activities in ancient times, men are fine, they can drink and visit the green building, women are miserable, except for being a female celebrity, there is really no pastime, and now there is mahjong brought by Xiao Jiading, which is to fill how women pass their free time, so it immediately aroused their great interest.
They are now using a new custom-made mahjong according to Xiao Jiading's drawings, and from the perspective of Mrs. Kang's card-playing skills, they are already relatively proficient. It seems that these days there is no less competition with the crazy plums.
They were playing mahjong in the house, and Kang Xuan pestered Xiao Jiading to let him teach him martial arts. Although Xiao Jiading has absorbed most of the internal forces of the two masters of the Emei faction, in terms of internal force alone, he is afraid that there is no opponent in the world, but he has not practiced martial arts seriously, and he will only take this set of willow steps. Then there is the flying rope technique that Huiyi taught him how to go high and high. And this zipline technique must be supported by a deep internal force, otherwise even if you understand the method, you won't be able to use it. And there is a certain risk in this thing, seeing that Mrs. Kang loves this child so much, if she lets him fall and touch it, it will be troublesome.
Although Xiao Jiading no longer had anything to teach Kang Xuan, he naturally wouldn't say it, so he made an excuse and said: "If you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old!" Don't always think about learning boxing, if you want to really make a difference, then you have to practice! Especially the basic skills, when your basic skills are solid, it will be easy to learn any boxing and swordsmanship at that time
Kang Xuan listened very carefully and asked, "How do you practice?" You teach me! β
Xiao Jiading really didn't practice any martial arts, although he often fought when he was a child. But the fight has also honed a lot of actual combat skills, and at the same time, I have watched a lot of martial arts movies, and I know how to practice on the road, which is nothing more than a horse step, a leg press or something, so he said: "I'll first ask you to make a basic move ,ββ horse step." When it comes to a meal, the posture can't be out of shape! β
After that, he made a horse step and let him tie it. Kang Xuan was also obedient, and began to take steps in a proper manner, and Xiao Jiading was free. I went in to see Crazy Mei and Mrs. Kang playing mahjong.
After watching it for a while, it was about time for a meal, and then I went out to look at it, and I was suddenly startled when I saw it. I saw that Kang Xuan was sweating profusely, his whole body was trembling like sifting chaff, and he was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Xiao Jiading himself has not taken any horse steps, I don't know how long it should be tied at the beginning, the time for a meal is too long for beginners, especially Kang Xuan is still a child. However, this little guy was able to grit his teeth and hold on for so long, and he was immediately tired and paralyzed. Don't give up. Xiao Jiading felt a little admiration in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Okay!" OK! β
Kang Xuan didn't even have the strength to stand up, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and then lay on his back. Gasping for air. Xiao Jiading didn't pull him up, and he didn't mean pity, and said: "In the future, I will practice like this every day, but there is no time." Could have been reduced a little ......"
"No......, no ......, I'm ...... I can do it......" Kang Xuan gritted his teeth. I struggled to get up, but I couldn't get up. Xiao Jiading bent down and stretched out his hand to pull him, but he didn't answer, rolled on the ground, face down, his hands and knees were supported hard, and finally got up.
Xiao Jiading said: "Little guy, you're quite stubborn." As he spoke, he secretly thought in his heart: People practice martial arts so hard, if they fool him, he will be a little embarrassed, so he should find an opportunity to learn a little bit of the real kung fu of the Emei School from Huiyi to teach him.
However, when he thought of practicing martial arts, he was not interested. I want to let him be a lay disciple of the Emei faction. You can follow the martial arts training, but you also have a thing on your mind.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that his porter, Lao Huotou, was not a lay disciple of the Emei faction? I heard that the martial arts were very high, so I called Lao Huotou at the moment and asked him to guide Kang Xuan's martial arts. Now that Xiao Jiading has proposed it, he has agreed.
He agreed, but Kang Xuan didn't look down on him as a bad old man and didn't want to learn from him, so Lao Huo Tou showed his martial arts, which was really magical, and immediately attracted Kang Xuan, so he kowtowed to his teacher, and learned Emei faction martial arts from Lao Huo Tou from then on.
Next.
Xiao Jiading came to the yamen with the old Huo Tou, the concierge and the nurse, and Huang Dong enthusiastically helped him to do the contract for quarrying and earthwork, and paid half of the price in advance. The other half is to be paid within one month after the commencement of the project. This is also Xiao Jiading's matter, if it were someone else, it would be impossible to pay the money so happily, not only would the time have to be delayed, but also a number of kickbacks would have to be drawn.
After calculating, Xiao Jiading made a lot of money in this business, and after deducting the money that Xiao Jiading bought the land, he also packed several large boxes. Fortunately, Crazy Mei was prepared in advance and came with a carriage, so she pulled the money back.
Now, the money for the land has been paid off, and the money for the shops on the street is said to be an advance, which is equivalent to a bank loan, although the interest is a bit high, but the early payment must be paid in full, so it is better to pay it later, and you can use the money to do other things.
The top priority is to set up a racecourse. This has to wait for news from Liu County's order.
To investigate the matter of the enemy of the prostitute Xiao Soul, Xiao Jiading had already written a letter when he was in Wan'an County, and asked the fast horse of the Yamen to send it to the head of Huiyi in Emei Mountain, asking them to help investigate. There is a message to feedback directly to yourself. The two wrongful cases involving Tonghui and Tongyun (Tonghui's is actually not a wrongful case), Xiao Jiading has already reported to Princess Yang, Princess Yang has no intention of pursuing responsibility, Xiao Jiading fed back this result to Liu County Order, which made him also breathe a sigh of relief.
It's May.
This day is the day of the funeral of the princess Lu of the prince of Shu, Li Ke.
Xiao Jiading followed the Kang County Order to attend the funeral ceremony.
In the end, it was the funeral of the side princess, the scale was very grand, and almost all the people in the officialdom of Jiannan Province came, and many of them were generals of the border army.
Jiannan Road is close to Tubo, although Tang Taizong Li Shimin sent Princess Wencheng to make peace with Tubo, and the relationship between the two sides is not bad, but at this moment Songtsen Gampo has died, and his young grandson inherited the throne and was supervised by the prime minister, so the strong friendship began to loosen, and the Tubo rulers at this time did not have a very strong ruling power over the entire Tubo, especially the tribes in the remote areas, although they submitted to Tubo, but basically an independent kingdom and controlled their own army. Although their relationship with Datang has basically remained peaceful, there are already signs of undercurrents.
While concurrently serving as the assassin of Yizhou, Li Ke, the prince of Shu, mainly served as the governor of Yizhou, which is equivalent to the position of the commander of the current Chengdu Military Region, commanding the border army of Jiannan Province. His side princess died of illness, and these subordinates naturally came.
The cultural relics officials have arrived, and after the ceremony is held, the coffin will be sent out of the city and sent to the royal mausoleum in the capital for burial. Li Ke wanted to take the civil and military officials to the city gate.
Paper money was flying, the crying was earth-shattering, and the funeral procession went to the city gate, but when they were about to reach the city gate, they stopped. The prince of Shu was a little strange, and he came out of the chariot to watch. At this time, the soldiers who opened the way in front came over and reported to Li Keyu, the king of Shu: "Lord Qiyu, there is a woman in front of you who is wearing linen and filial piety to block the way, saying that her name is Han Bingdie, and she is the daughter of Captain Han, and she wants to cry for the princess on the side." Please allow the prince's permission. β
When Li Ke heard the three words of Captain Han, he was shocked, and the expression on his face was very complicated. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let her come!" β
After a while, a woman with a snow-white body and heavy filial piety, tied a hemp rope around her waist, held a mourning stick, kowtowed step by step, and cried. When he arrived at Lu's coffin, he cried loudly. The cry was very sad.
Li Ke sighed and said to Princess Yang: "You go and bring her over, I have something to say to him." β
"Good!"
Princess Yang got out of the chariot, came to the coffin, and helped Han Bingdie, who was crying so much that she was almost fainting, and came to the chariot. Li Ke lifted the curtain of the car and said to Han Bingdie: "Thank you for crying." Miss Han. Your father's death, I ......, I'm sorry......"
Han Bingdie knelt on the ground with a grunt, crying sadly: "A few days ago, I packed up my father's relics and found a letter, which I presented to the prince for inspection, this letter can prove that my father did not rebel!" With that, she took a letter from her bosom and handed it over her head.
Before Li Ke signaled to take it, Princess Yang would not come forward to get the letter, let alone the guards around her. So the situation is deadlocked.
Li Ke sighed again and said, "I am also very helpless about your father's affairs, but this matter is ironclad, and it cannot be changed no matter what." You ......, you're still ......"
"This letter proves that my father did not rebel! I beg the prince to take a look! My father was wronged, and the prince is now a prisoner, so I implore the prince to review this case! If the prince doesn't review this case, I ......, and I will go to Beijing to sue the royal court! If the emperor refuses to review this case, I will ...... and I will hang myself in front of the imperial city! β
Li Ke frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, this king is recording prisoners now, let the scribe who recorded prisoners review your father's case and give you an explanation!" ββSomeone, pass on Shaocheng's clothes Xiao Jiading to come over! β
Xiao Jiading followed the Kang County Order to walk at the back of the team, and the official position of a small county order in the funeral procession was too low, so he could only follow the big team behind, and it was impossible to follow behind the prince's chariot. It took a long time for the herald to find Xiao Jiading among the many officials.
They didn't know why the funeral procession stopped for Lu Dao, and they were quietly discussing it in the back, but when they heard that the prince had ordered him to pass at this time, they were a little surprised, and the officials on both sides who heard about it also showed envy and jealousy on their faces.
