Chapter 8: Sun Tzu's Art of War Shows Its Edge
Bu Yiyang heard this, he was stunned in place for a few seconds and didn't react, not to mention that he doesn't often move in Kyoto City, so naturally he doesn't have much friends with the princes, just talking about this noble housekeeper, how can he have an impression of the prince of a country's mansion,
"Butler?"
Butong nodded briskly,
"Yes, although he is a housekeeper now, but in the future, I am afraid that our Nanguo Mansion will be afraid of him."
Bu Yiyang smacked his lips and reached out to touch Bu Tong's forehead,
"But the devil is stunned?"
Bu Tong waved his hand away, trying to make himself look serious,
"Tang Xuanlin is really not a thing in the pool, why don't you go back to Beijing this time to stay longer, so you can get to know each other?"
The corners of Bu Yiyang's mouth twitched twice, "That's it, you still toss it yourself, this time I went back to Beijing just to accompany my father and mother for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will return at sixteen." ”
"Do you only stay at home for a few days?" Bu Tong crossed his fingers and calculated, and it was only five or six days.
Bu Yiyang smiled and looked at this sister who he had loved since he was a child, "That's natural, there is strict discipline in the army, and it is not easy to ask the marshal to rest for a few days." ”
Handsome?
A certain string in Bu Tong's head rang, "The handsome brother said, but Lie Zhanhu?" ”
Bu Yiyang was a little surprised that his little sister still knew who the general of the dynasty was, "It is General Liehu." ”
Bu Tong grabbed Bu Yiyang's arm,
"Brother, a few days ago, Tong'er had a dream, the dream was like a world away, and I happened to see a military book, in which the chapter is very wonderful, you live at home for a long time, and the little sister wrote it to you."
For those who have been in the military all the year round and have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, the only thing that can attract their attention is the military book.
Bu Tong thought that he had nothing to do and read the entire "Art of War", which was very effective in helping Mu Hequan to govern the soldiers in his previous life, and now he can just give it to his eldest brother, and by the way, he will also hold him at home, so as not to be implicated by Lie Zhan Hu in the future.
……
At night, Bu Tong pinched the brush and threw it down, scratching his hair a little anxiously,
"Not being able to write calligraphy is really the biggest failure in every life!"
Chun Tao looked at Bu Tong and sat down on her knees in the corner of the table, "Miss, have you forgotten the military book in the fairyland?" ”
Bu Tong's eyes fell on Chun Tao, and slowly expanded his smile,
"Chun Tao, I'm very distracted by the pen while reminiscing, why don't you write it, I'll only dictate, how about it?"
Chun Tao bowed her head slightly, "But Chun Tao's words are not good-looking." ”
It's better than not being able to write, Bu Tong stuffed the pen into her hand and dragged her to the center,
"Brother's handwriting is even more ugly, so he won't mind, isn't it good to look at your handwriting often in the future?"
Chun Tao's cheeks were slightly red, and she rarely lowered her head and whispered, "Miss, you just tell Chun Tao to do it, why make fun of me again." ”
Butong stopped teasing her and began to dictate,
"The first article: the calculation of the article, is to be in awe, to know the victory and defeat after the analysis of the victory, and to know the victory and defeat is to raise troops; One of the generals is to raise soldiers, do not use suspicious people, use people without suspicion, do things with secrets, and say with defeat; The husband can bend and stretch, abstain from greed and pride, and not be swayed by the momentary anger ......"
Chun Tao cautiously looked up at Bu Tong while recording the record, and after dictating the first article, Bu Tong went to the low table to pour tea and drink it himself,
"What's wrong? Then look at me, as if you don't recognize it. ”
Chun Tao put down the pen and rubbed his wrist, which had not written for a long time, and looked at the text that he had transcribed throughout, and wondered if Fang Cai was his hallucination.
"Miss, although Chun Tao doesn't understand these military things, when you listen to what Miss said, it seems to be an extremely ingenious theory, Miss has lived in the boudoir for a long time, how can she understand this?"
Bu Tong scratched his head, "This ...... It's not a heavenly scroll, it's just a dream, it's quite interesting to think about, it's better to give it to my brother to study, if you can use one or two in the future, it can be regarded as useful. ”
Chun Tao also lifted his spirits when he heard this, and he wrote and carried ink.
"How much does the young lady remember, Chun Tao wrote it down."
Bu Tong seriously recalled,
"Approximately, chapter thirteen?"
Chun Tao looked at the stack of papers under his hand and the dried oil lamp next to him, and his little face was melancholy, "Miss, isn't this just one chapter?" ”
Bu Tong nodded briskly, "Naturally." ”
Chun Tao decisively put down her pen and cleaned up the table and got up, "It's not too early, Chun Tao is waiting for Miss to wash and rest?" ”
Bu Tong got up and yawned a long time, but he was actually sleepy, and this is not something that can be written in a while, so he naturally agreed,
"By the way, Chun Tao, have you sent something?"
Chun Tao's original energetic appearance suddenly wilted, "Chun Tao is only busy keeping the young master in the mansion for a while and forgetting about it." ”
Bu Tong smiled and looked at Chun Tao,
"Presumably it was delivered, but there is a reply?"
Chun Tao reluctantly groped in her sleeve pocket for a long time, and then took out a small bamboo tube and handed it to Butong.
"Nane...... Master Tang asked me to wait for half a cup of tea in the side gatehouse, and then took out such a shabby thing and asked me to hand it over to the young lady. ”
Bu Tong took it happily, and by the way, he shook Chun Tao's proud little eyes,
"In the future, remember to give it to me as soon as there is such a big event, don't hide it privately."
Chun Tao "hummed" and went out, Bu Tong carefully unsealed the bamboo tube, a small piece of silk paper slipped out from the inside, Bu Tong slowly unfolded, there were only six straight and powerful words on it: "Definitely not to lose."
Lovesickness. ”
It will not be worth it
Lovesickness
Bu Tong read softly, the different tastes in his heart slowly dispersed, turned around and opened his dressing box, and put the small bamboo tube on the innermost side,
"Tang Xuanlin, it turns out that you fell in love with me at first sight, but in the last life, I don't remember what the scene was when I first saw you," Bu Tong sighed,
"The scumbag made a mistake."
Chun Tao came in with hot water, and heard Bu Tong talking to himself,
"Miss, who is the scumbag? What's wrong with Miss? ”
Butong waved his hand,
"That's it, let's talk about it in the future, there are four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's transcribe it quickly, how can we finish writing the six articles, and then give it to my brother, just say that this is only a small part, and my brother will definitely stay in the house for more time in order to get the military book behind."
Chun Tao instantly forgot her doubts just now, and nodded again and again, "Miss, this plan is very good." ”
……
Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, His Majesty really together with the queen edict, invited the mansions into the palace banquet drink, Bu Tong the day before the first five articles sent to Bu Yiyang, and happily selected the clothes and jewelry into the palace.
Chun Tao squatted aside and looked at Butong's serious appearance, and her smile was brighter than the peony embroidered on her skirt.
"Mademoiselle has finally begun to dress herself."
Bu Tong tried on the pearl hairpin that Bu Yi Yang had just brought back to himself in front of the bronze mirror, the style was indeed novel, but he always felt that there were shortcomings, and when he heard Chun Tao say this, he couldn't help but start thinking about it,
"The feast of the Great Interior, there must be a lot of people entering the palace in each mansion, Tang Xuanlin is the chief manager of the Four Princes' Mansion, except for Shi Qing's personal service, there must be a smart and thoughtful person to deal with interpersonal relationships, right?"
"What is a relationship?" Chun Tao scratched her head and instantly made a bitter little face, "Miss, you want to see that person again." ”
Bu Tongyi looked at Chun Tao solemnly,
"My Chun Tao, what about your young lady, she is a person who wants to do great things, how can she indulge in her children's private affairs all day long? I just have some matters that need to be discussed with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, isn't it, didn't I talk about him casually. ”
Chun Tao obviously didn't believe this sophistry, and pouted and picked up a tassel hairpin for Butong, "Miss, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet every year is a time when the ladies of various provinces compete for beauty, after all, the dinner party is dim, and it is not easy to be brilliant, so you need to dress up brightly." ”
Bu Tong looked at the big red step shake, and suddenly had an idea,
"Chun Tao, may you find crystal stones, clay and laxatives in the house?"
Bu Tong tried to make the raw materials more daily and simpler, but he still couldn't control Chun Tao's eyes from getting bigger and bigger, until Bu Tong said "laxative", and suddenly broke the work.
"Laxatives! Miss, what are you going to do here? How could there be such a thing in the house! ”
Bu Tong tsk,
"That's ...... There's always flower fertilizer, right? ”
Chun Tao has adapted to Butong's whimsy these days, nodded and thought seriously, "There are many in the crystal stone warehouse; As for the clay, it can also be found in the craftsman's room, and the gardener in the house has a lot of flowers, but what does the young lady want me to do with these messes? ”
Bu Tong smiled and shook the step shake,
"Fetch me another medicine stove, I'm going to make my own fluorescent."
Chun Tao didn't understand what it was, so she just turned around to get something, Bu Tong looked back at the room full of gorgeous clothes, and stretched leisurely,
"The eldest lady of the Nanguo Mansion is really a good deck of cards."
On the morning of the second day, when Bu Yiyang came to the courtyard of Butong with dark circles under his eyes, he was watching Butong squatting under the laurel tree in the yard with spring peaches, guarding the small stove and not knowing what was cooking, and the taste was still a little strange......
"Hey, what is this doing?"
Bu Tong raised his head and looked at Bu Yiyang with some disgust, but he still stepped forward, and dragged a small bamboo chair for him to sit on with a smile.
"Why did my brother come here at this time, he was going to enter the palace in the afternoon, so why don't you go and prepare quickly."
Bu Yiyang smiled "hehe", "It's your woman's business to dress up with grease and powder, the husband is bright and fair, but it's just a state banquet, what is there to prepare." ”
Bu Tong shrugged, "Then Tong'er doesn't have time to accompany her brother today, and she still has a lot of things to do," said and ordered Chun Tao to cease fire,
"Find a cool and ventilated place to dry and let it cool down quickly."
Bu Yiyang raised his cheeks and looked at the basin with an indescribably strange liquid,
"What is this?"
Bu Tong stirred a few times, very satisfied with the effect, and motioned for Chun Tao to take away,
"This is my homemade fluorescent agent, which was prepared for today's dinner."
"What is a fluorescent agent?" Bu Yiyang was naturally not interested in these little daughter's things, so naturally he didn't ask much, and Bu Tong, who followed into the house, was faintly excited, but he got to the point as soon as he asked casually,
"Tong'er, that book of war, did you really bring it out of your dream?"
Finished reading it so soon? Bu Tong's hand to pick up the hairpin paused, and hurriedly agreed,
"Yes, this is a master's book, I don't know why, I've read it a few times and I'm quite interested, and it's not interesting to be idle these days, so I wrote a little bit silently for my brother, which should be used as a reference."
Bu Yiyang's eyes showed a particularly strong brilliance, "There are as many as two volumes like this, but it's just a little bit?!" ”
Bu Tong nodded with a subtle smile, and couldn't help but complain: It's not because your printing technology is backward, a piece of paper can only write three or five crosses, in order not to tire the remnants of the spring peach, I also cut a lot for you.
Bu Yiyang was immersed in his own world, and even clenched his fists and sighed, "I opened it yesterday and saw it, and I was completely immersed in it, many wise sentences need to be comprehended for a long time to understand, and the more I read it, the more mysterious I feel." ”
Bu Tong nodded proudly, and shook the bead hairpin in his hand.
"How? Brother, are these gifts for nothing? ”
Bu Yiyang laughed "haha", "It was originally for Tong'er, why don't you give it for nothing, but there are still some for Yu'er, I didn't think that she got married early today, and I, as a brother, have never given a congratulatory gift." ”
Bu Tong's subordinates paused slightly,
"Today's palace banquet, you can always see it, and the elder brother will give it to the eldest sister."
Bu Yiyang waved his hand, "That's it, it's just some gold, silver and jade vulgar things, the military book behind, I don't know when Tong'er will be completed?" ”
It turned out to be for the second half of the art of war, Bu Tong smiled,
"Brother, don't blame, Tong'er is now dictating to Chun Tao ghostwriting, which is the fastest, and the later military book also asks my brother to live at home for a little longer, so he will naturally write it."
Bu Yiyang was a little hesitant, but thinking that this art of war was only in Bu Tong's head now, and he couldn't take her to the barracks, he was very distressed, and he didn't say anything for the time being.
"By the way, Yun Fang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, came to sit with me this morning, and turned a few pages by chance, I'm afraid I will find an opportunity to consult with you today, and if you are not happy to talk to a foreign man at that time, you can shirk it."
Cloud release?
Bu Tong carefully recalled this person, and didn't seem to have any impression,
"Imperial commander, why are you interested in the art of war?"
Bu Yiyang spread his hands, "Yun Fang is actually a person who wants to make contributions in the army, but the Yun family has guarded the palace wall for generations, and he is just a helpless person." ”
Bu Tong looked at the appearance of Chun Tao coming back cautiously with a glass bowl outside the window, and sighed softly,
"Imperial Ouchi, there are more helpless things than we know, presumably he corresponded with his brother because he envied his brother's ease and current situation."
"It seems that my little sister has indeed grown up, and these words speak to Brother Yun's suffering."
Chun Tao walked in with the bowl and gently placed it in front of Butong, "Miss, the fluorescent agent you made is ready." ”
Bu Tong hurriedly opened it happily and took a look, "Wow, what a success." ”
Bu Yiyang glanced at him and didn't have much interest, and then instructed Bu Tong to quickly transcribe the military book and leave.
Chun Tao looked at the Nanzhu Bu Shao picked out by Bu Tong and hurriedly stopped, "Miss, although this Nanzhu is luxurious, it is already a style from the previous two years, and no one has worn it among the young ladies of your mansion today." ”
Bu Tong touched a few staggered southern pearls at the end of the tassel,
"It doesn't matter, as long as I give a little transformation, it will definitely be the most eye-catching one of the night banquets tonight."
After that, he took the brush prepared in advance and dipped it in the liquid in the glass bowl, carefully brushed it on the top of those southern pearls, and each layer of the peach should be taken to the sun to dry, and then come back to apply the next layer......
