Chapter 2 Survival in the Cracks
Nothing is the best protection for yourself!
Since Chen Ying was reborn and saw the bloody battle in the mansion when he was still an infant, he decided on this self-protection strategy.
Don't look at the princess There are a lot of children, there are two concubines, two concubines, four boys, and two concubines, I think there are a lot, and when he is reborn, there are still two concubine brothers on his head.
As a result, before he was two years old, his two cousins died one after another for some reason, and even his own mother soon followed, and the bloody cruelty really made him feel cold.
After thinking about it carefully, combined with some looming rumors, it can be basically determined that it is the hand of the mother-in-law.
The age of the two cousins is too close to their son-in-law, and their own mother is quite favored, and they are treated as a threat by their mother-in-law, it's as simple as that.
Afterwards, the government was calm and unprosperous......
Chen Ying would not be in such danger, he was very old and his brother-in-law, and he did not have his own mother behind him, and he would not be valued by the duke's father.
In this case, no one would think that he was a threat to the two brothers.
To say that when you have just passed through the rebirth meeting, it is impossible to have the ambition to do something big. It's just the layout of the back house of the duke's mansion, as well as the cold eyes of the duke's father occasionally, how dare you think carefully?
The more you see and the more you know, the more you will naturally know your own way of survival, and it is the best choice to spend your childhood and adolescence in the public mansion in a mediocre way.
Of course, I don't know if it's because of the crossing or the reason for the golden finger, not forgetting and not forgetting are basic skills, and mediocrity is just the appearance.
As long as the powerful people in the back house of the public mansion do not feel threatened, life is still quite good.
How to say that it is also a duke's concubine, and the Zhenbei Duke's Mansion can be called a majestic ordinary resource, which is completely open to him, allowing him to slowly learn a large amount of knowledge and various skills in his ordinary life.
An hour and a half of class passed quickly, Chen Xiong, the little fat man, ran away with joy, Chen Ying bowed goodbye to Mr. in a wooden manner, and waited for Mr. who shook his head again and again to leave, and then walked slowly to his own courtyard.
After eating a full but not delicate lunch, leisurely spending time in the courtyard to eat, the little maid Huahong held a miscellaneous book in her hand, stood under the eaves and read aloud, her voice was crisp and pleasant.
Chen Ying looked careless, and the content of the miscellaneous books that Hua Bonus had read had all been memorized in his heart.
He can't show too much, he can only absorb knowledge in this way.
Others thought it was a joke, and it was a miscellaneous book that did not enter the main hall, so they didn't care about it as a joke, even the nurse Li Ma and the two little maids were the same, it was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
No one knew that since he was enlightened at the age of three, he deliberately formed this habit of 'not doing his job', and Chen Ying had memorized almost one-tenth of the collection of books in the Zhenbei Mansion.
Among them, only a small part of the orthodox Confucian classics are used, and the rest are miscellaneous books such as medical and agricultural divination, astronomy and geography, myths and legends, travel notes, and basic martial arts and military strategies.
Because of the very early appearance of paper and printing, the inheritance system from ancient times to the present has never been broken or broken, and the knowledge that has survived can be imagined how rich and complex it is.
The library of Zhenbei Gongfu is very vast, with hundreds of thousands of books, and Chen Ying can access a large number of ordinary books, if he does not deliberately put aside those esoteric and difficult books for the time being, it is not easy for him to write down the contents of tens of thousands of miscellaneous books.
Fortunately, he didn't read it himself, but read it aloud through the maid next to him. Others thought he was just listening to the story, and even regarded the maid's reading as a lullaby, and only laughed and didn't care.
Otherwise, reading a few or even a dozen books a day would have to lead to big things, and he wouldn't live to his current age.
The maids around me have also broadened their horizons because of reading a lot of books, and there are basically no moths.
It is also through this that Chen Ying not only absorbs a lot of knowledge, but also has a general understanding of the outside world.
After Hua Hong finished reading a miscellaneous book, he went back to his room for a lunch break for half an hour.
"Third Young Master, it's time to go to the martial arts training ground!"
When the time came, the little maid Liu Lu woke him up, freshened up and tidied up, and rushed to the small martial arts field not far from the second gate.
Under the blazing sun, a big man in a nursing home costume was already waiting.
"Hong Nursing Yuan, let's start!"
Chen Ying chuckled and nodded, and said towards the biao-shaped nursing home.
At this time, his whole body was full of energy, and he did not have the slightest greeting in the morning, and the malaise in the morning reading.
Such a performance is naturally also a means of self-preservation. However, he did have a lot of interest in martial arts.
"Third young master, it's still the old rule, let's take a punch first to heat up your muscles!"
The sturdy Hong Huyuan had a serious face, nodded and said directly.
Chen Ying stopped talking nonsense, moved his muscles and bones a little, his body sank, his fists and feet flew together, and a set of tiger fists that he was familiar with by heart were completed in one go.
There is no omission in the standard of moves, the rhythm of breathing is full of rhythm, the ups and downs are like a little tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and the sound of shouting and cheering is transmitted back and forth in the small martial arts field.
By the time the Tiger Punch was finished, he was already hot and sweating.
"The third young master's basic tiger fist is already quite proficient, so let's stand on the stump and squat on the horse!"
The sturdy Hong Huyuan nodded slightly, the expression on his face still did not change, and he walked over and pointed out that Chen Ying was squatting and standing on the pile, with a cold attitude as if it was routine.
It's really just a routine......
Since Chen Ying began to mumble about practicing martial arts at the age of five, Hong Huyuan has been his third martial arts teacher, and he still teaches basic body forging boxing techniques such as Tiger Boxing.
That's right, since he started practicing martial arts at the age of five, it has been five years now, and he is still practicing a set of the most basic body forging boxing method of the public mansion, the kind that is specially used for the cultivation of the nursing home.
Chen Ying's heart is clear, this is another mother's means.
Although the Great Qi Empire has the peak of literature and Taoism, Zhenbei Gong, as the first heroic man in the northern military, attaches great importance to the martial arts skills of his family's children.
The second brother, who is about to become an adult, has shown an extremely outstanding talent for martial arts training since he was a child, and is naturally the heir of the Zhenbei Mansion in the army.
It is not clear what the duke's father thinks, but Chen Ying understands very well that the second brother is the best candidate to inherit the power of the Duke's army in the eyes of his mother-in-law.
and the eldest brother who took the literary road, one article and one martial arts, firmly controlled most of the resources of the public government in this generation.
In such a situation, how can Chen Ying have many chances to get ahead?
His grandmother did not cut off his martial arts training path, and also arranged for the nursing home to teach the basic body forging boxing method, which is already very generous, although he has changed three nursing homes in five years, one level is lower than the other, and the current Hong nursing home is only a new ding in the nursing home, a rookie among rookies......
