Mid-September.

After a series of apprenticeship ceremonies, Zhu Hao's second disciple Jiang Rong officially bowed to his disciples.

Jiang Rongxu is sixteen years old, and his ancestral home is Xuzhou, but because his ancestors have meritorious deeds in Beijing, he was suddenly assigned from the prosperous Beijing division to Anlu to be Jiang Lun's son, and he was naturally unwilling...... The family promised him a marriage, and clearly said that they would get married in the coming year.

Perhaps considering that Jiang Rong passed on to his new father, it will take a while to get used to it, and the marriage will be postponed.

Jiang Rong is very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and he is definitely the best among people in this year, but his appearance is a little ...... I can't look past it, but I was born in a martial arts family, where can I see it?

"Those who can fight are absolutely not scolded, and those who can be scolded are absolutely not used to it...... Worship Mr., that is, respect Mr., and in the future, the dog will be entrusted to you, Mr. Zhu! ”

In order to show that he really gave Zhu Hao the authority to manage his son, Jiang Lun specially explained to Zhu Hao in front of his son when he was apprenticed.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, people should try to pass their sons as young as possible, so that it is easier to cultivate the relationship between father and son after coming over, like the one of your Jiang family, Ding Xingwang, for the sake of a military succession, back and forth...... It's really completely disregarding the child's own thoughts.

Sixteen years of youth, in the rebellious period of youth, do you really think it is so easy to discipline?

Zhu Hao asked Jiang Rong about some of his studies, and after learning that he was only literate and not much different from half an illiterate, he said: "It's too late to start studying the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of sixteen, so it's better to practice martial arts." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, Mr. Xiao."

Jiang Lun didn't mention how humble he was at this time.

Zhu Hao thinks that it is not bad to accept Jiang Lun's children as disciples, at least he can lead Jiang Rong to the right path, everyone knows how unreliable Daming's relatives are, maybe Jiang Rong can become a special case under his own cultivation?

……

……

Then came the teaching.

Jiang Rong received special attention from the palace, and Princess Jiang originally planned to let this cheap nephew enter the palace as a companion, but because he was too old, it was not so convenient to study with his daughter, so he had to settle down to enter and leave the palace at any time to adapt to life in the palace as soon as possible.

Although Jiang Lun did not mention his son's future life plan to Zhu Hao, according to Zhu Hao's estimation, the meaning of the palace is to let Jiang Rong rely on the relationship of his cheap father, and in the future, he will be mixed with an official and a half-position in the palace honor and guard department, because it is his own family, and loyalty to the prince is not a problem, you can start as a guard foreman first, and then slowly become a pawn, or even go further.

From this point of view, Jiang Rong still has to practice martial arts.

When Zhu Hao first accepted Jiang Rong, he didn't think it was a thorn, but after a few days, he couldn't see anyone anymore.

Zhu Hao informed Jiang Lun of the situation and made suggestions, simply put, he cut off Jiang Rong's daily supply and didn't give a single child, so that he couldn't go out and fool around......

Sure enough, after cutting off the silver, in the next few days, no matter whether Jiang Rong went out to wander or not, he could always be seen in the palace during meals.

At noon that day, Jiang Rong returned to the palace for dinner.

Zhu Hao appeared beside Jiang Rong with Jing Hong.

Jiang Rong glared at Zhu Hao, then slapped his chopsticks on the table, preparing to leave.

Zhu Hao said: "Recently, at the west gate of the palace, my drama troupe is rehearsing new plays, and I have hired a batch of new plays from Jiangnan to come back, and I am going to go and see ......."

became Zhu Hao's disciple, but he didn't know anything about this gentleman, the two sides realized that now, they didn't even say a few words, Jiang Rong never regarded Zhu Hao as a gentleman, only as a teacher is a joke, how can there be an adult man who is about to get married, worship a child as a gentleman?

Say it, do you still want this face?

Jiang Rong looked at Zhu Hao when he heard this.

There is no hurry to leave.

Zhu Hao is on his pulse, from the prosperous Jingshi to the relatively backward An Lu, far away from his parents, family and playmates since childhood, he didn't even have a place to play in a strange place, and suddenly heard that there was a drama troupe and some new plays, and said that it was opened by his own husband...... Don't listen to what's going on.

Jing Hong said: "That must be interesting, right?" ”

"It's not very interesting."

Zhu Hao sat down, it seemed that he was saying to Jing Hong, but in fact, he said it to Jiang Rong, "An Lu's opera troupe is absolutely unparalleled in the world, and many big opera troupes in Jiangnan have come to learn from the experience and secretly enter to observe, but do they think that the drama I rehearsed is so easy to learn?"

"I can learn our singing voice, but I can't learn our posture...... Oh yes, I've been doing a good job lately and I've made a lot of money...... Hey!? Who's that, why aren't you leaving? ”

"Humph!"

Jiang Rong snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Zhu Hao shouted: "Stop! ”

Jiang Rong's footsteps did not stop.

Before he could go out of the door, he saw Lu Song outside blocking the road with a few guards, with knives pinned to his waists.

This was invited by Zhu Hao to give Jiang Rong a dismissal.

"What are you going to do? Do you know who I am? ”

Jiang Rong thought to himself, I now have a new father, how can I say that this father is also the princess's younger brother, then I am the princess's nephew, and I am half the master in the palace.

Even if I don't know each other well, just relying on this relationship won't work, right?

Lu Song smiled: "No matter who you are, you are a student of Young Master Zhu...... Young Master Zhu asked you to stop, you had better be obedient. ”

Jiang Rong saw that the other party was menacing, and he didn't take him seriously, so he immediately became angry in his heart, and looked back at Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao got up: "Sit down and have a meal together...... Let me tell you, your expenses are for me to stop your home...... Don't worry, I'm a person, I've always loved and hated my own people, to put it bluntly, as long as you listen to me, you don't need to study and practice martial arts every day, as long as you do what I say honestly, even if it's just to follow up and be a bodyguard by my side, I can give you a few taels of silver every month......"

"What?"

Jiang Rong's eyes widened when he heard this.

In these years, a royal palace warden like Lu Song, the annual salary is equivalent to almost forty or fifty taels of silver, you dare to open your mouth to give me a few taels of pocket money every month?

Lu Song said: "Young Master Jiang, don't look down on this Mr. Zhu in front of you, he is a big local family, and in terms of family belongings, I am afraid that no one can compare with him except King Xing." ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Lu Dianzhan is polite, I just do some small business, and I have some involvement in local glass mirrors, warehouses, money houses, or opera troupes." At first, I accepted you as a disciple, just because I liked your strength, so wouldn't it be good to be a disciple and guard by my side? In this way, I will give you four taels of silver a month, will you do it? ”

Having money is good to do.

Although Jiang Rong is a rebellious teenager, he can't stand the shyness in his pocket, and these four taels of silver are ...... for him It's a long drought and a rainstorm, even when you are in Beijing, a month's pocket money, not to mention four taels of silver, can have one or two, it is still a good time for the month.

In such a small place, there are too many things that can be done with four taels of silver a month, and it doesn't take a few dollars of silver to sleep on a powdery head, and it is not inlaid with gold......

"Young Master Jiang, you'd better agree, I'm on the orders of Lingzun to help Mr. Zhu discipline you, if you are so indulgent again, I can only put you in the firewood room for reflection according to Lingzun's wishes...... Ling Zun hopes that you can follow Young Master Zhu to learn some skills, people are young and are students, who in the palace does not admire? ”

Lu Song was on the side.

Jiang Rong was originally an iron-clad rebellious teenager, but now he was coerced and seduced.

On the one hand, you can continue to maintain your arrogance, that is, you have to go to the firewood room to guard the rats and cockroaches.

On the other side, he followed Zhu Hao in and out, saying that he didn't need to study and practice martial arts, just stay by his side and fight, but he could eat and drink spicy food......

The latter, of course!

"Hmm."

Jiang Rong reluctantly responded, sat down and continued to pick up the dishes and chopsticks to prepare for dinner.

Zhu Hao said: "I happened to go to the theater garden to watch the play today...... Xiaorong, you come with me, I'll take you backstage after watching the play, but it's okay, you can only watch it and can't mess around, although the troupe is mine, you can't make a mistake. ”

……

……

After this incident.

Jiang Rong was hired as Zhu Hao's follower.

Unlike other nursing homes hired by Zhu Hao, other nursing homes can only be responsible for his daily security outside the palace, while Jiang Rong is both his disciple and the "young master" in the palace, he can enter and exit the palace at will, plus he is burly, and there is a possibility of growing at the age of sixteen......

No matter how you look at it, this nursing home is worth hiring.

At this time, Zhu Hao was finally able to take Jiang Rong to meet his "senior brother", and after being admitted to the middle school students, he continued to stay in the school opened by Zhu Hao, and was supervised by several teenagers to study Sun Ru.

When Jiang Rong and Zhu Hao arrived at the laboratory, they heard Guan Jing's scolding from inside: "If you don't work hard, you will have to use the ring ruler!" ”

Jiang Rong thought to himself, what the hell is this place?

After entering, Sun Ru, who heard the footsteps, raised his head and looked at Zhu Hao with an aggrieved expression.

"Come, get to know my new disciple, Jiang Rong...... This is Sun Ru, your senior brother, he has just been admitted to the student examination, and you two are considered to be one scholar and one martial artist. Zhu Hao introduced.

Jiang Rong's eyes widened.

It's just that Zhu Hao is a student, why does Zhu Hao have a disciple who is also a student?

Does it mean that An Lu's students are worthless, and they can be admitted if they are a scholar? Isn't this thing quite popular in Beijing, I heard that you can not salute when you see a county official......

"This is Guan Jing, even if he is my nominal disciple, he is also from a martial arts family, so let's do it, you two compare and compare, let me see the gap between you." Zhu Hao continued to introduce.

"Humph!"

Jiang Rong looked disdainful.

A half-old kid who wants me to teach him how many hands can he do?

I'm from a martial arts family, and I'm going to beat him all over the ground looking for teeth.

……

……

In the courtyard, the two of them stood up.

Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, and even Sun Ru got a temporary respite.

Jiang Rong picked up a long stick and was about to show off his strength, and then ......

In the flash of light, Guan Jing's long stick swept over, and Jiang Rong couldn't react and was directly swept to the ground.

"Poof!"

When Jiang Rong lay down on his back, he didn't understand what was going on.

"In this way, the gap is not small, do it again." Zhu Hao sighed on the side, and it was cynical when he entered Jiang Rong's ears.

It turns out that the so-called gap is not that others are inferior to me, but that my skills are inferior to others?

Who to look down on?

Then he lifted his spirit and rushed up again......

Half an hour later.

The second junior brother and the senior brother who had a blue nose and swollen face were speechless, only a thousand tears.
