Chapter Fifty-Nine: Rebirth and Change

Li Shimin and several children gradually entered the formal practice of martial arts and reading.

But the eldest grandson Sheng eats the king's money, but he is often involuntarily.

By the end of April, things had taken a turn for the worse.

Yang Guang issued an edict to pacify the north of the Yellow River and inspect the land of the old Zhao and Wei.

The eldest grandson Sheng was in charge of the guards of the forbidden army, and Li Yuan was the assistant to the honor guard etiquette, and they had to travel with the car.

Children practice martial arts and read books, and face the problem of interruption.

------

In the next day, the eldest grandson Sheng told Gao Qiuniang about this, and was worried that the children would have no one to teach.

Gao Qiuniang also felt that the children's martial arts and studies could not be delayed.

In the past, Changsun Sheng was away from home all the year round, and the education and training of several children were affected by Changsun Wuji and Changsun Hong.

If it is interrupted again this time, it will be impossible to make up for it when the children grow up.

After thinking about it for a while, Changsun Sheng finally came up with a solution.

He wanted Gao Qiuniang to take the children to live in Chengnan Manor.

The girls were also led by Gao Qiuniang and Ding Niangzi.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji and other seven people were guided by Gao Jian to study, and Ding Zhankui was asked to guide them to practice martial arts.

------

That's why I went to the Chengnan Manor,

First, because the martial arts training ground in the Changsun General's Mansion is too small, it is no longer suitable for children to practice mounted archery.

Second, this place is relatively close to where Gao Jian and Ding Zhankui live.

After Gao Li's death, Gao Jian has been studying in seclusion in the Gao family manor at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in order to avoid the rights and wrongs of the capital.

The Gao family manor is not far from the Chengnan Manor of the Changsun General's Mansion.

Changsun Sheng wanted to persuade Gao Jian to move to the Chengnan Manor of General Changsun's Mansion.

In this way, he can take care of the schoolwork of several children.

------

Ding Zhankui is now the military governor of Juxian County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yingyang Mansion of Jingzhao County.

The eldest grandson Wuyi, as the general of Jingzhao County, is Ding Zhankui's immediate boss.

Changsun Sheng has the grace of rebuilding Ding Zhankui's family, so he naturally responds to Changsun Sheng's needs.

The governor of the prefecture was responsible for administering the local government soldiers.

Every year, during the slack season, the government soldiers with military status are summoned for a collective training.

At other times, there is basically not much official business to do.

Ding Zhankui can spare enough time to guide Li Shimin and several other children to practice martial arts.

In addition, the place where Ding Zhankui lives is only more than ten miles away from the Chengnan Manor.

It only takes half an hour to ride a horse, so it is very convenient to go back and forth.

------

Regarding Changsun Sheng's thoughts, Gao Qiuniang thinks that this is the best.

But I don't know what Gao Jian and Ding Zhankui think.

It is not certain until the consent of the two is obtained.

Gao Qiuniang suggested that the eldest grandson Sheng go to meet the two in person.

In this way, in terms of etiquette, it is also more thorough.

-------

Pressed for time.

In the afternoon of the same day, Changsun Sheng took two entourages to meet Gao Jian and Ding Zhankui.

Since he had to go to court on the morning of the second day, Changsun Sheng rushed back overnight after seeing the two.

Fortunately, he is General Wuwei.

Although the city gate and the fang gate were closed during the night ban, Changsun Sheng was able to travel unimpeded.

------

When I returned to the house, it was time to be a child.

When Changsun Sheng was leaving, he said that he would come back overnight, so Gao Qiuniang didn't sleep and waited in the upper room.

When Gao Qiuniang saw that the eldest grandson Sheng was overjoyed, she guessed that the matter had been agreed.

Changsun Sheng explained it to his wife in detail, and saw the situation of Gao Jian and Ding Zhankui.

and told her that both of them readily agreed to Changsun Sheng's request.

------

In five days, Yang Guang will leave Beijing for inspection.

The eldest grandson must settle everything in the house before leaving.

He asked Gao Qiuniang to start making arrangements on the second day, and instructed all the people who went to Chengnan Manor to pack their bags.

I plan to move to the Seongnam Manor from the day after tomorrow.

Because there are more people who go to Chengnan Manor this time, and it is a long-term stay. Changsun Sheng suggests:

Let the domestic servants, slaves and maids, bring the necessary items, and set off early.

Gao Qiuniang and the children, wait for the manor to clean up, and then go over in peace.

------

The Eldest Sun General's Mansion has been busy up and down for a few days.

Changsun Sheng asked Changsun Shunde and Changsun Wuao to seek the opinions of their respective parents.

Changsun Kai and Changsun Chang both decided to let the two children accompany them.

Hundreds of masters and servants came to the Chengnan Manor of the General Grandson's Mansion one after another.

For everyone's residence, Gao Qiuniang made arrangements in advance.

She lives in the upper room of the inner courtyard by herself.

Ding Niangzi and Guanyin and Xin'er live in the East Chamber.

Gao Jian lives in the courtyard north of the inner courtyard steward's room.

Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and other seven people lived in the south courtyard to the west of the steward's room.

Prajna took Nara, Kasya, and Kara, and dwelt in the north courtyard on the west side of the steward's house.

Maidservants and maidservants live with their respective masters.

The servants lived in the outer court.

------

Due to the distance from Jingshi, Changsun Sheng was not at home, and there were few outsiders visiting the Chengnan Manor.

Gao Qiuniang arranged a few Guanyin maids to study, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the front hall of the inner courtyard.

The place where Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and other five people studied was arranged in the study room of the outer courtyard.

Ding Zhankui does not usually live in Chengnan Manor.

When he came, he rested in the study of the outer court.

Occasionally, when I don't leave, I live in the same yard as Gao Jian.

------

In Chengnan Manor, Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and others had a good place to practice martial arts.

The square of the manor in the south of the city is 50 zhang long and wide, and it is more than enough to practice horseback riding and archery.

Changsun Sheng asked Liu Changxi to set up two movable arrow targets at the south end of the square.

In order to make these two movable arrow targets, Changsun Sheng put a lot of thought into it.

After the idea was conceived, he drew a sketch and asked Liu Changxi to do it.

------

According to Changsun Sheng's request, Liu Changxi asked people to bury two wooden stakes more than one person high at the south end of the square.

The two wooden stakes are twenty feet apart.

At the top of each stake, attach a disc that can be rotated.

Around the disc, six targets with a diameter of three feet were mounted.

The disc rotated, and the six targets also rotated.

The six targets, from one to six, are numbered in order.

When practicing archery, different numbers represent different targets.

-----

Behind the disc, there is a wheel.

When a person pulls the rope on the wheel, the target on the disc rotates.

If the wheel turns fast, the target will turn fast.

When the wheel turns slowly, the target turns slowly.

Stick to the stake and build a protective wall.

Those who turn around should stand behind the protective wall so as not to be injured by the arrows that come at them.

------

On the first day of Ding Zhankui's arrival at Chengnan Manor, he led Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and others to the square to practice archery.

Seeing the arrow target designed by Changsun Sheng, he couldn't help but praise the ingenuity of the design, and he had the idea of giving it a try.

Ding Zhankui asked people to fetch bows and arrows.

Standing 100 steps away from the target, he told Li Shimin and others to shoot the No. 1 target when the target was not moving.

Then, open the bow and release the arrow, and hit the bull's-eye No. 1.

Li Shimin and others applauded one after another.

Ding Zhankui said with a smile: "Don't cheer yet, when the target turns and can shoot like this, it's not too late for you to applaud."

------

He ordered people to turn the target after reaching the target.

The servant who turned the target had no experience.

He pulled the rope on the roller so hard that the target spun fast.

Because the target was spinning so fast, the numbers on it looked blurry.

Ding Zhankui settled down, and his eyes moved with the target.

His target this time is still the No. 1 target.

However, because the target was turned too fast, he pulled his bow and set up the arrow, and aimed for a while, but he did not grasp the opportunity.

Ding Zhankui had no choice but to shoot two arrows by feeling.

When he stopped to look at the target, although both arrows hit the first target, they were far from the bull's-eye.

------

Ding Zhankui shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh,

"It seems that this art of riding and archery still needs to be taught by General Changsun himself."

Li Shimin saw that Ding Zhankui was discouraged, so he expressed his opinion,

"It's not that my uncle is bad at archery, it's that the target spins too fast. Even the best horses don't run so fast."

Ding Zhankui knew that this was because Li Shimin saw that he didn't shoot well, and was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he deliberately found a reason to let him have a step down.

Ding Zhankui is a loyal person and will not put gold on his face.

He said truthfully, "The speed of the target is one reason. The key is that the archery is not good enough."

"You say, if you let General Changsun shoot, will it be like me?"

Several children did not speak, as if they agreed that Changsun Sheng would definitely be able to shoot the bull's-eye.

------

Ding Zhankui said with emotion: "I was a general in the Southern Dynasty back then, and although the southerners also paid attention to archery, there were very few people who were proficient in the art of mounted archery."

"The northerners are good at riding and shooting, and General Changsun is the best among them, so I sigh to myself."

"It seems that this time, General Changsun asked me to teach you to practice riding and archery, and I will have a negative burden."

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said:

"Uncle don't be discouraged, we are still young, lack of strength, and our skills are still shallow, so we should focus on practicing shooting and fixing targets, lay a good foundation, and then practice riding and archery."

"According to the current situation of a few of us, there are still 108,000 miles away from our uncle, how dare we talk about practicing riding and archery?"

"Uncle should teach us the most basic skills."

Ding Zhankui laughed and said, "What Wuji said is that for now, I can barely teach you children."

------

The eldest grandson, Wuji, suddenly seemed to remember something, "Uncle has just arrived here, and Wuji still has something to report to you."

He took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Ding Zhankui, "When my father leaves, give me this book, and let Wuji pass it on to my uncle."

"What is written in the book is the essentials and formulas for practicing archery at each stage."

Ding Zhankui took the booklet and flipped to the back.

He wanted to see if there was any teaching in the booklet about shooting moving targets.

Sure enough, there is indeed a practice mantra on mounted archery in the back.

I saw a few words on it, "Look at the enemy in the afterglow, first draw the bow, stop the head and standby, and shoot decisively."

After reading these few words, he couldn't help but suddenly realize.

No wonder you can't shoot accurately, shoot the moving target, and your eyes can't follow the target, but you have to look at it with the peripheral vision of your eyes.

The more you stare at it, the more you miss.

Catch the bow first, wait for the right moment on the route it may take.

When the time comes, launch decisively.

In this way, the target moves, and the bow in the hand does not move, just waiting for the moment.

------

The secret is a layer of window paper.

Once pierced, what turned out to be mysterious suddenly becomes simple.

Ding Zhankui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and almost lost his temper in front of several children.

He stroked his palm and smiled, "With this booklet left by General Changsun, I won't worry about teaching you."

------

In terms of academics, Gao Jian also faces more difficult problems.

Among the seven children, the eldest grandson Hong is sixteen years old, and the youngest is eight years old.

The three eldest grandson Hong brothers, the eldest grandson Shunde and the eldest grandson Wuao, used to study in the eldest grandson family school.

Li Shimin is a private school in the government of the state.

The eldest grandson Wuji was taught by Gao Jian himself.

Each person's learning has its own emphasis and is uneven.

How to teach these seven people at the same time made Gao Jian very difficult.

After much deliberation, Gao Jian decided to make a list of different books according to what they had previously learned, and let them study on their own.

And he's in charge of answering questions.

The books I read are mainly classics and history, and the poems and songs are a little more dabbled in by everyone.

Among the selected books, "The University", "The Mean", and "I Ching" focus on the methods of learning, governing the world, and thinking about problems.

"Spring and Autumn", "Shangshu", "Chinese", "Warring States Policy", and "Shiji", focus on history.

"Analects", "Mencius", "LĂź's Spring and Autumn" and so on belong to the policy of governing the country.

------

Gao Qiuniang and Ding Niangzi, with a few girls, not only learned classics and history, female virtues, but also practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The entire Chengnan Manor of the Eldest Sun General's Mansion is filled with the sound of Langlang books all day and night, and it has become a private school.

The children have been together for a long time, thus building a deep bond.
