Chapter 138: The chanting must be canceled
Gong Changyu killed the big tobacco dealer Er Laizi, who had been trying to put him to death, and removed a big scourge to the local people, and people applauded one after another, saying that Gong Changyu was upright and chivalrous, and the matter soon spread in Baocheng Mansion, and those big tobacco dealers who colluded with foreign countries were panicked.
How do you know that Er Laizi joined the nationality of Eagle Strike Li and is a subject of Queen Eagle Strike Li. Killing Erlaizi in the territory of the Qing and Qing Kingdoms was a great contempt for the Eagle Strike Li Empire, which attracted great dissatisfaction from the Eagle Strike Li people.
A group of eagle-striking businessmen forcibly broke into the yamen of Baocheng Mansion and demanded that Gong Changyu be investigated and prosecuted. In the face of national righteousness, Liu Yueshao's mind is very sober, and he knows that Gong Changyu is to eliminate harm for the people, and to punish Gong Changyu is to slap himself in the face and the face of the entire Qinghe country.
Liu Yueshao categorically rejected the rude request of the Eagle Strike Li merchant on the grounds that Er Laizi was a subject of the Qing Peace State and that the two countries were at odds with each other, and Gong Changyu was able to escape the catastrophe. After the "Erlaizi" incident, Gong Changyu saw that the national strength of the Qing and the country was in crisis, and the reason why the Qing and the country did not have the influence and strength of the former "all countries come to the dynasty" was that there was a problem in people's thinking, including those high-ranking officials and nobles.
Under Feng Jiao'er's supervision, Gong Changyu would "listen" to "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Ji Xiao Xinshu" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as long as he was free. Feng Jiao'er took the trouble to explain to him word by word, so Gong Changyu's knowledge has improved greatly, although he can't write much.
One day, when Gong Changyu admonished the soldiers of the "Jingjie Battalion" in the camp, he emphasized a few points in particular-
First, it is not a problem for people to be poor and rich, as long as they know how to pay. It doesn't matter what others think of me, as long as I have a clear conscience!
Second, it's not a problem for people to be stupid, just don't be false. Human spirit is not a problem, as long as it is not bad. It's okay to be good at using people, just don't unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Third, whoever does not talk about people behind his back is said behind his back, and there is no person who is not judged, and there is nothing that is not discussed.
Fourth, time has verified people's hearts. Money is a witness to character. intercourse, witnessing the true feelings. Short-term relationships look at face, long-term relationships look at temper, lifelong interactions look at character, and death does not look at sincerity......
The soldiers, all of whom were peasants and miners, were very attentive to Gong Changyu's teachings, and applauded from time to time. Feng Jiao'er, Ran Jiufeng, Xu Yanxia and the others also nodded slightly on the side, very satisfied with Gong Changyu's rapid progress.
Only Gong Shengdi and Hei Dashuai felt very strange, and the two of them bit their ears below and said that there must be a master behind their backs, because these words are of great practical significance, and they don't seem to be Gong Changyu's personal level at all.
After the admonition ended, after the soldiers dispersed, Gong Shengqi took Gong Changyu's hand and said, "Uncle, you talk like a talent today, who taught you how to say it?" β
"Old nephew, no one taught me how to speak, these words are all my experience from reading books on weekdays, and I remember them in my heart sentence by sentence. Any questions? Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"Uncle, you also read? I don't believe it, you only know a few words? Gong Shengdi grinned.
"Old nephew, I won't hide it from you, every night, before going to bed, your aunt will read the scriptures to me for more than half an hour." Gong Changyu said with a smile, "At first, I didn't adapt at all, she was chanting, but I couldn't stop napping......"
"Uncle, aunt is chanting, are you all chanting?" Gong Sheng said with a smile.
"No, it's not." Gong Changyu shook his head.
"What's that?" Gong Sheng asked.
"Hey, what are the Tao Te Ching, the Book of Shang, the Art of War and the like. After your aunt finished speaking, she had to repeat it, I was tired from training during the day, and I had to listen to her chanting at night, and I didn't do ...... hands" Gong Changyu shrugged, "I'm a general, and listening to books is a fart!" β
"Uncle, this is a bad statement. LΓΌ Meng, the governor of the Three Kingdoms, was also a martial artist when he was young, and Sun Quan advised him to study more and increase his knowledge. Sun Quan appeared to say...... LΓΌ Meng accepted Sun Quan's advice, returned to the army to study consciously, became a generation of Confucian generals, and captured Guan Yu alive......" Gong Sheng said, "You are only a general of the capital division now, and you don't know the dangers of short-sightedness, and when your position in the army is getting higher and higher, you will understand your aunt's good intentions." β
"Old nephew, as long as Prince Fu and Jiang Changyi don't die, they won't be able to get to a position as high as Lu Meng......" Gong Changyu said with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't want to study, I feel that studying is a hundred times more painful than practicing martial arts-"
"Uncle, knowledge changes fate. You are young and have a bright future. Unlike me, I'm in my forties, and I'm half buried in the loess, so it's really useless to study. Gong Shengdi sighed and said, "The fat lady of my family, I don't know what's going on?" β
"Old nephew, the boss lady is so fierce, you still think about her?"
"After all, after living together for decades, there is still some affection. By the way, uncle, when will you and your aunt have a wedding wine? β
"I've been busy with too many things lately, and this wedding has to be postponed indefinitely."
"Uncle, if you drag it out any longer, you will be a father......" Gong Shengdi looked at Feng Jiao'er not far away.
"Nonsense." Gong Changyu put his arm around Gong Sheng's shoulders and took a few steps forward, "Old nephew, how do you see it?" β
"Uncle, I'm from here, after the woman became pregnant, there was an obvious change in her walking."
"Why didn't I come out and not notice it?"
"Auntie has been walking cautiously lately, unlike when she used to run like the wind. So, my aunt is happy, I can't see that she is pregnant from the back, and she is pregnant with a boy. β
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Just give me a baby......"
"Let's show it." β¦β¦
In the evening, Gong Changyu continued to listen to Feng Jiao'er chanting in the attic. After completing the required courses, Gong Changyu boasted in front of Feng Jiao'er that I had achieved a proud record without you in the battle of Fengmenling. Therefore, this time you will go to Baocheng Mansion to participate in the battle of encircling and suppressing Shi Xianda, so don't go, stay in the Zhu family compound and raise the baby with peace of mind.
Feng Jiao'er heard it: "Changyu, we didn't do a banquet to recognize relatives, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" β
"What's the matter? Ming'er, I'll talk to my uncle about this banquet. As soon as Gong Changyu finished speaking, he didn't take off his shoes, and fell on the mat, "I'm so tired......"
"You get up for me." Feng Jiao'er pulled him up, "If you're tired, go take a hot shower first." β
"Madame, I don't want to move. You go downstairs, get me some hot water, and I'll wash my face." Gong Changyu took off his shoes and put his body on the mat again.
"Haven't you seen a pregnant person? You should take care of me. Feng Jiao'er sat down on the soft bedding and looked at her face in the mirror, "Since the spots on my face have begun to grow, I am worried to death every day, I am so afraid that my skin will be like this in the future, I really can't accept it, what should I do?" β
Gong Changyu hurriedly came up, and sure enough, Feng Jiao'er had little spots under the corners of her eyes and cheeks on both sides, and said with a smile: "This is a pregnancy spot, no need to make a fuss." If you want to get rid of this spot, first, insist on washing your face with salt water; Second, eat more water chestnuts and other fresh fruits; Third, don't stay up late at night, that is to say, from tomorrow night, the chanting must be canceled for the time being......"
"What? You say that I read the scriptures at night to read the scriptures, see that I don't beat you flat! Feng Jiao'er raised her eyebrows.
"What's the difference with the chanting of the monks in the temple?" Gong Changyu said stupidly.
"I'm the princess of the blue wolf country, not a monk of the temple!" Feng Jiao'er tugged at Gong Changyu's ear.
"That's the nun of the nunnery......" Gong Changyu is still hanging.
"I'll go! A moment of monkhood, of a nun. I think you're trying to rub your washboard tonight, aren't you? Feng Jiao'er let go of her hand and slowly went downstairs with a candle.
Before she was pregnant, Feng Jiao'er had a very easy-going temper, why was she so hot tonight? Gong Changyu sat on the chair and pondered. When he saw Feng Jiao'er really going downstairs in clogs, he felt that something was wrong and hurriedly followed.
"What are you doing with me?" Feng Jiao'er looked back.
"I'm afraid you'll fall." Gong Changyu grabbed Feng Jiao'er's waist and said.
"Get out of here, I don't want you to hold me, I can still go downstairs." Feng Jiao'er pinched the back of Gong Changyu's hand fiercely, and then pushed Gong Changyu again. Gong Changyu stretched out his hand to grab her, but only grabbed the corner of her dress, and her clothes cracked with a sizzle. Who knew that Feng Jiao'er used too much force, stepped into the air, and rolled down the stairwell.
"The master-" Gong Changyu was dumbfounded for a while.
The back of Feng Jiao'er's head hit a wooden nail in the corridor, and the corner of her mouth immediately bled and she fainted. This frightened Gong Changyu, quickly dropped the belt in his hand, jumped to the bottom of the corridor, picked up Feng Jiao'er, hurriedly ran to the front yard, and gently laid Feng Jiao'er on the recliner.
Gong Changyu tried his best to pinch Feng Jiao'er in the hall, but it was useless, and Feng Jiao'er was still unconscious. He was in a hurry, and shouted in a hurry: "Auntie, you come out quickly, Jiao'er has an accident-"
Gong Lanping, who had just slept with her youngest son, heard that Feng Jiao'er had an accident in the room, so she came out with her clothes on, and she didn't notice that she was wearing the wrong shoes. She took a closer look with the oil lamp, Feng Jiao'er's face was pale, she looked down and listened to Feng Jiao'er's heartbeat, it was very weak, and her face immediately changed greatly: "Old learning, you injured Jiao'er, didn't you?" β
Gong Changyu shook his head again and again: "Auntie, I didn't hit her...... It was she who was from the hallway of the attic...... The ...... that fell off his footing"
"No way. I'll take a look at Jiao'er's injuries......" Gong Lanping's palm suddenly touched the back of Feng Jiao'er's head, feeling slimy, and looked at it: "Old learning, is this what you beat, tell me what's going on?" β
