Chapter 1 A woman was punished in spring and February
Yuqing 4th spring.
Outside the wall in the southwest corner of the General's Mansion in Kyoto, three six or seven-year-old children gathered together to chatter and discuss how to climb the wall and "rescue" Gu Huaiyu from the mansion.
"Xu Xiaopang, you have a lot of strength, you squat down and let Chang'an step on you to climb up." One of the boys picked up a chubby boy, pressed him against the wall, and said to the other boy, "Chang'an, you hurry up." ”
The child who was called Chang'an looked unwilling: "I don't dare, if I go in and get caught by General Gu, I will be punished with Sister Huaiyu." ”
"Shen Changan, are you a man, Huaiyu was punished because of you, if you didn't run fast......
Before Xu Xiaopang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yan: "Chang'an is not going, I will go." ”
Zhao Yan was the tallest of the three of them, with delicate facial features like a beautiful little girl, he stood lightly on Xu Xiaopang's back, his hands just reached the top of the wall, and finally climbed the wall with all his strength, and shouted to the two people below: "You wait for me here, I'll go and rescue Huaiyu." ”
Xu Xiaopang and Shen Changan looked at each other worriedly: "How did he get Huaiyu out of it?" ”
However, Zhao Yan didn't hear the worries of the two of them, he jumped off the wall neatly, came to Gu Huaiyu's courtyard familiarly, and saw that Xiaoliu, the maid next to Huaiyu, was sitting under the porch weaving flower baskets, so he sat over with a smile: "Sister Liu, Sister Huaiyu, is she still copying books?" ”
Xiao Liu is only ten years old this year, she is the only girl in Gu Huaiyu's yard, she was startled by Zhao Yan's sudden appearance, threw down the flower basket that was about to be braided, glanced left and right a few times, and saw that there was no one around, so she pushed Zhao Yan to the house: "My little ancestor, alas, how did you get in?" ”
Zhao Yan laughed proudly, revealing his big white teeth that were missing a front tooth: "Came in over the wall!" ”
-------------
When Zhao Yan and Xiao Liu entered the house, Gu Huaiyu was lying on the desk, sleeping soundly.
Zhao Yan looked at the corner of her mouth with disgust, and began to wonder if it was too stupid for her to go to great lengths to climb over the wall and come in. He unceremoniously picked up the ring ruler on the wall and hit it on the table with a "pop", which made Gu Huaiyu stand up suddenly.
"Okay, Gu Huaiyu, we're worried about you worrying to death outside, it's better for you to sleep here with your head covered."
Gu Huaiyu saw that it was Zhao Yan, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve indifferently: "Scare me to death you." ”
Zhao Yan became more and more disgusted: "How many books have you copied?" Chubby and Chang'an are still waiting for us outside. ”
"This ......" Gu Huaiyu sat down discouragedly, "From last night to now, there is still the last one left to copy, just copy it, my father still wants me to memorize, and I will inspect it tonight." She pinched the brush and bit it in her mouth, her brow furrowed into that of a little old man.
Zhao Yan pulled out the pen she was biting: "What did General Gu punish you for copying this time?" ”
"No, "Wu Zi's Art of War." Gu Huaiyu weakly pointed to the book spread out on the table, "What kind of art of war do I know, my father is just trying to embarrass me!" ”
Zhao Yan frowned, and said to Xiao Liu: "Sister Xiao Liu, please go to the courtyard and tell Xu Shen and Shen Changan, let them play by themselves, and say that I will accompany Huaiyu here to endorse." Xiao Liu obediently responded, and Zhao Yan said to Gu Huaiyu again: "Don't worry, you have already copied the "Art of War" several times before, and this time you are familiar with it, you will memorize it." ”
Although Gu Huaiyu was skeptical, he still obediently picked up the pen, while Zhao Yan picked up another military book on the bookshelf and sat beside him to read it.
"Zhao Yan, Wu Zi said, 'People have short and long, and qi has ups and downs', but no matter how I look for it, I can't find any shortcomings in you." Gu Huaiyu stared at Zhao Yan, who was reading seriously, "Look at you, you are good-looking, it is difficult for you to endorse books, and it is not difficult for you to practice martial arts, but what about me, I can't write martial arts, I am stupid, alas......" Gu Huaiyu chattered and sighed.
Zhao Yan's expression did not change: "After copying, read it from the beginning, read more, you will memorize, and if you don't understand it, ask me again." ”
Gu Huaiyu sneered, turned the book to the first page, and began to read resignedly.
-------------
Gu Huaiyu is actually not stupid, but in front of Zhao Yan, he can't talk about being smart.
Zhao Yan only needs to read the same art of war once to be able to recite and understand it fluently, while Gu Huaiyu has to keep copying it more than ten times and reading it more than ten times before he can memorize it stumblingly.
Although she is a little girl, her strength is very terrifying, and she has knocked down several friends who disagree with her, so she is considered a big sister among children of the same age. She is playful again, and often takes her little brothers to "make trouble" in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, Gu Yanhe is such a daughter as her, she is very spoiled on weekdays, and every time she is so angry that she can't help it, and she is reluctant to fight, so she has to be punished to stay at home and endorse.
Yesterday, Gu Huaiyu, Xu Xiaopang, and Shen Changan peeked at Wufuzi in the Feihong Pavilion to teach the students to practice swords, and were discovered by the students of the Feihong Pavilion and the current prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Zhao.
It was not a big deal to peek at the students of the Feihong Pavilion practicing martial arts, but the eight-year-old Wang Zhao was also a troublemaker, because of his father, he entered the Feihong Pavilion early, and he was a little complacent, and he looked down on Gu Huaiyu's sneaking and stealing from the master to learn the arts, so he made fun of Gu Huaiyu: "Gu Huaiyu, you thief, you are not embroidering at home, and you came here to steal our Feihong Pavilion's kung fu." ”
Gu Huaiyu is such a proud person, how can she stand being called a thief by others, so angry that she doesn't care about hugging Wang Zhao is a fall to the sky, this can be a big basket, that Wang Zhaoren looks tall and big, but he can't help but fall, this fall will break his beautiful forehead.
That is the son of the prime minister's family, no matter how much General Gu spoils his daughter, he can't tolerate it, so Gu Huaiyu was punished for copying books.
-------------
Fortunately, every time Gu Huaiyu was punished, Zhao Yan would come to the rescue in time.
Zhao Yan is the little son of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, born with pink carved jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he is young, he is stable, every time Gu Huaiyu and a few people get into trouble, Xu Xiaopang and Shen Changan's first thought is to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to find Zhao Yan.
It's strange to say, with Zhao Yan watching from the side, Gu Huaiyu's book was also read smoothly, and the words were written properly, and in less than two hours, he memorized "Wu Zi's Art of War" fluently.
"......'The car is ridden and the apprentice, if the car is not ridden, the rider cannot be ridden, the vain cannot be in vain, although the army is broken, it is useless', so on the day of the war, its order is not annoying and shocks the world."
Zhao Yan smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”
Gu Huaiyu picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp: "It didn't exhaust me to death." ”
Xiao Liu put away the pen and paper on the table: "Huaiyu is just lazy, there must be someone to supervise him, so that he can put away his playful heart." As he spoke, he nodded Huaiyu's forehead, "You, if Zhao Xiaoshizi is not here, what will I do if I see you?" ”
Gu Huaiyu grimaced at her.
-------------
While speaking, Gu Yanhe came in with a straight face, and when he saw Zhao Yan beside him, his expression was relaxed: "How is the book memorized?" ”
"The plenum is back!" Gu Huaiyu looked at Gu Yanhe proudly, "Dad, if you don't believe it, I'll turn it on your back......"
"Come on, put away your smug appearance, go to dinner, and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me tomorrow to make amends."
Gu Huaiyu: "Dad, haven't you already been there once today?" ”
"Then Wang Zhao wants you to go and make amends to him in person, what can your father and I do." Gu Yanhe touched Gu Huaiyu's head helplessly, and looked at Zhao Yan, who was speechless, "Zhao Xiaoshizi, why don't you go eat together?" ”
Zhao Yan was well-behaved and skillful: "Then thank you so much Uncle Gu." ”
Gu Huaiyu took Gu Yanhe's hand and smiled at Zhao Yan: "You come here to eat every time, right?" ”
"Not really." Zhao Yanxiao's face was expressionless.
"You're just here to rub the wine-stuffed balls made by my mother." Gu Huaiyu did not give up.
Xiao Yanagi couldn't listen anymore next to him: "Huaiyu, walk well." ”
