Chapter 59: The Actor's Self-cultivation (2-in-1)
Time passes silently from heaven and earth, precipitating autumn into the mountains and rivers, and unconsciously brewing autumn colors all over the sky.
Between the yellow leaves and clear water, a person walks slowly, such as the autumn leaves are quiet and beautiful, such as the summer flowers, such as the spring is bright, such as the winter snow is pure, this seems to be the person who conquers the world and creates the world, it is the most favored concubine of His Majesty, the concubine Yun Qingzhu.
She slowly walked to the backyard of the Yunfu Mansion and walked to a water pavilion.
In the water pavilion, the two old men were sitting and talking to each other, and when they saw Concubine De coming, both of them just bowed slightly, and then played chess by themselves.
One is Concubine De's father, so naturally he doesn't have to be formal all the time;
The other is the Surabaya Prefecture Muwei Yuanzhi, who is now under "house arrest" here.
Don't look at the posture of being manipulated by Concubine De at the dinner that day, it was just a scene that both sides knew that they would show to everyone.
Concubine De came with the emperor's order, if Wei Yuanzhi can't pretend to be decent, then Concubine De or His Majesty behind her can only help him be decent.
But now that he has passed that level, his life and death future is not something that Concubine De can control.
Moreover, if he is as old as him, how can he not understand that the period from his detention in Yunfu to his return to Beijing is an opportunity for Concubine De to subdue him for her own use.
This is His Majesty's acquiescence, this is the center's reward for Concubine De, but it is not the result he wants.
As a feudal official, he has his own pride and thoughts.
He's not the kind of little minion who can easily throw himself into anyone's doors.
If you have to stand in line, the crown prince who is now in the East Palace, the concubine who has the support of the Xungui group, and even the eldest prince who sits on one side and has no intention of being the crown prince and protecting himself, which one is better than this emerging concubine.
Therefore, he pretended to be stupid and delayed accepting Concubine De's moves, and Concubine De was helpless, so she had to chat with him from time to time, show her strength, and try to make this prestigious old minister return to her heart.
Seeing the two playing chess, Concubine De waved off the maid and personally refilled the hot tea for the two several times.
With such etiquette, Wei Yuanzhi naturally couldn't really be too upright, so he had to take the initiative to find a topic, "Niangniang, I heard that you summoned General Jin who was not in the army yesterday?" ”
Concubine De smiled and said: "Well, that kid in Gaoyang has a cousin who wants to join the army, so he invited General Jin over to see if he can enter the Wudang army for some training." ”
Wei Yuanzhi chuckled, "As the old military god's pro-army back then, it is not so easy to enter the army without being a soldier. ”
Concubine De nodded, "Yes, General Jin directly rejected the palace, it's really a shameless!" ”
Wei Yuanzhi said lightly: "Although these old men are in a safe corner, they still have some understanding of the affairs of the court, and the mother wants to stretch her hand into the army, which is no problem." Not being in the army is also the best and most symbolic way. But it is too difficult to be an army, and no matter how many ways the DPRK and China have come to mind, now only two people have entered, and they have all stopped at the captain of a thousand people. If you really want to make a difference, let's change it. ”
Concubine De bowed slightly, "Lord Wei is old, and what he says is naturally true, and this palace also thinks like this, but Gao Yang's child is stubborn, and he still wants to try." ”
Wei Yuanzhi shook his head speechlessly, "Young and vigorous, normal." ”
"Lord Wei, Niangniang, at this point, the old man thinks differently from you."
Old Man Yun smiled, "I think that kid in Gao Yang can always create magic, and there is nothing he can't do." ”
Wei Yuanzhi chuckled lightly and did not argue.
In his position, the amazing and brilliant juniors have seen a lot, which one is not arrogant, and which one has not been hit by reality.
Seeing Wei Yuanzhi's attitude, Old Man Yun simply smiled and said: "Lord Wei, it's better to be like this, let's make a bet, if Gao Yang's kid succeeds in letting his cousin enter the Wudang Army, you will agree to talk openly and honestly with the little girl." If it doesn't work, the little girl won't be entangled anymore, and the matter will be stopped. ”
"Father!" Without waiting for Wei Yuanzhi to speak, Concubine De was in a hurry.
Wei Yuanzhi twisted his beard, looked at Old Man Yun, glanced at Concubine De again, turned around in his heart, and immediately nodded: "Okay, if he can really have such ability, the old man is also willing to exert his residual heat for the great cause of Niangniang." But if it doesn't work out, please forgive me. ”
He didn't believe that Xia Jingyun could still send his cousin to the Wudang Army when Concubine De came forward without results, isn't this!
He just took this opportunity to get out!
Concubine De looked at her father, a little helpless, how could this kind of thing be such a child's play.
But after thinking about it, it's been a few days, Wei Yuanzhi still doesn't pick up the stubble, and it doesn't make sense to keep it, and it can be regarded as a miracle trick to decide the winner.
But the key is to win! If you lose, it's a stupid move!
She turned her head to look into the distance, Xia Jingyun, can you still surprise this palace?
-----------------
Outside Jiang'an City, there is no military camp.
Jin Jiancheng paced with his hands behind his back and asked, "What time is it?" ”
Listening to the same question for the third time, the soldier smiled and said, "General, it's only three quarters of the hour!" Yesterday the man arrived at the end of the day. ”
Jin Jiancheng snorted, "This is not a merit-seeking general...... Hunger and thirst! ”
"General, that's called a thirst for talent."
"No damn meaning!" Jin Jiancheng snorted, waited left and right to be bored, and went to the camp for a walk, scolding the big-headed soldiers to play.
Yesterday's young man, although compared to the battle array, most of them could not compare to these veterans of a hundred battles, when the two armies faced off, he could take his life without three shots, but the other party has not yet entered the army, that body, who doesn't say a word when he sees it!
With a little cultivation and a little experience, it is almost a sure thing to kill the god on the battlefield.
If you go through some more writing and ink, tsk, you definitely picked up a treasure for your son!
After walking around, he looked at his soldiers, "It's always time now, right?" ”
The soldier nodded, and then comforted: "I just said a rough idea yesterday, maybe something is delayed, the general will wait." ”
"Nonsense!" Jin Jiancheng snorted arrogantly and entered the big tent with his hands behind his back.
"You say, after he comes, where will I put him in? Isn't it a little lower to arrange a length? Arrange a lieutenant? That's not okay, it's too high. If you don't succeed, everyone will be dissatisfied. Besides, Childe doesn't have the authority to appoint a lieutenant to me! ”
"Then the centurion, not high or low, his martial arts are also convincing to the public, and he will be promoted again after making meritorious contributions."
"Hey, this trip is comfortable, I have done my errand, and I have picked up a tiger general, and my son will definitely reward me!"
The soldiers stood aside with their hands down, silently listening to the general's muttering, snickering in their hearts.
The beauty of imagination lies in the fact that it can take those graceful fantasies in the heart and evolve them into a future that makes people laugh heartily;
But its cruelty lies in the fact that reality is never as beautiful as imagined, and it often brings a huge gap to those who love imagination, making it more and more difficult for them to accept reality and indulge in imagination.
From the beginning of the time to the end of the time, his stomach was hungry, and he still didn't see the figure he was looking forward to, and at this time, Jin Jiancheng was almost sure that his imagination could not reflect reality.
"Hey! You say, you say, this boiled duck flies! It's okay if he doesn't join the army, but if he goes to the Crane Control Army or the Yulin Army in the future, Gongzi won't scold me to death if he knows it! ”
"Hey! I really knew I would have left him behind yesterday! ”
Jin Jiancheng pounded his head in annoyance, and his regret was palpable.
"Report!"
was annoying, and the soldiers ran over, "General, Concubine De's brother-in-law Xia Gongzi asks to see you." ”
Jin Jiancheng frowned, "What is he here for?" ”
"Xia Gongzi said that he wanted to send his cousin to join the army."
"It's still dead on the face, isn't it? This young man can't understand the words or is he unreasonable! ”
Jin Jiancheng scolded speechlessly, "What is his cousin like?" ”
"The guard didn't say it, since he is a cousin, he should be similar to him."
"Another little white face!" Rao is Jin Jiancheng couldn't stand it anymore no matter how good his temper was, so he scolded directly, and then waved his hand, "I don't see!" ”
The pro-soldier on the side hesitated and said: "General, after all, our trip is to escort Concubine De Niangniang, and the other party's newly recognized righteous brother is not so faceless, isn't it a little bit?" ”
Jin Jiancheng is as good as a stream, "Then what do you say?" ”
The soldiers rolled their eyes, "It's better to say that the general went out to inspect and was not in the camp, maybe the Xia Gongzi would retreat in a difficult way." ”
Jin Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction, "You kid is a traitor!" That's it! ”
......
"Young Master Xia, I'm sorry."
The soldiers came out in person, looking at Xia Jingyun with a sincere face and apologetic.
Xia Jingyun stood in place and sighed, "It's so unfortunate? ”
The pro-soldier nodded, "That's true." ”
Xia Jingyun turned his head and shouted, "Cousin! ”
A man in the distance turned and ran, and the soldiers watched the man get closer, the more familiar they became, and then their eyes widened suddenly.
Xia Jingyun didn't seem to see the face of his own soldiers, only looked at his cousin, and complained, "I told you, it's not easy to enter the army, my sister has already said yesterday, I will recommend you to the Yulin Army when I return to Beijing, and you can get a captain." You don't believe it, you have to come, you see, it's a small matter to lose my face, how can I say if I lose my mother's face? ”
Xia Yunfei opened his mouth and sighed, "Erlang, I was wrong, I listen to you." ”
Xia Jingyun patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go!" Go back! ”
"Slow down!"
The soldiers finally reacted from the shock and hurriedly stopped the two, "I'll go back and take a look, maybe the general has already returned to the camp." ”
Xia Jingyun looked left and right, "I just didn't see anyone entering from here?" ”
The soldiers laughed with him, "There is a back door in the camp, maybe the general will walk through the back door." ”
"Oh, I see, I thought General Jin hated going through the back door the most!"
was ridiculed in person, and the soldiers didn't dare to attack, and said with a smile: "Xia Gongzi might as well go into the camp and wait, I'll take a look." ”
"No, it's right here, I'm a scholar who doesn't dare to climb the military power privately, so I bother Your Excellency to ask quickly."
The corners of the soldier's mouth twitched, you stuffed your eldest brother in, and said that you didn't dare to have a personal relationship with military power......
You have entered the house with a girl in the Qinglou, saying that you are not close to women, you don't want to be faced!
"Wait a minute, both of you."
Rushing all the way into the big tent, "General! ”
Jin Jiancheng frowned, "What's the matter, he Xia Jingyun still dares to make trouble!" ”
The pro-soldier was out of breath, "No...... Be....... It's his ....... Cousin. ”
"He doesn't dare to make trouble, how dare his cousin!"
His cousin ...... Yesterday's one! ”
"Yes is...... What? Jin Jiancheng stood up.
Outside the camp, Xia Yunfei and Xia Jingyun stood side by side, one was weak and the other was heroic, the other was chic and dignified, and the other was heroic and majestic, looking quite a bit of the Xia family's double taste.
"Erlang, if we act like this, we won't harm this general, right?"
"No, I asked my sister about it, this General Jin is well-known in the army for his good temper, and he is extremely loyal to the military god family, and he has always taken it as his responsibility to strengthen the Wudang army, and he will never sit back and watch you join other armies."
Xia Jingyun smiled, "Speaking of which, big brother, you have such strength, I really didn't see it." ”
Xia Yunfei blushed slightly, "Thanks to Master's training, I have made great progress these days, and those medicinal baths have also cost a lot, and I still have to find a way to pay him back in the future." And it's just fist and foot martial arts, compared to fighting in battle formations, I must be far inferior to these veterans of a hundred battles. ”
"Hmm." Xia Jingyun nodded lightly, "It's here." ”
Jin Jiancheng rushed out accompanied by his own soldiers, and was relieved to see that it was indeed Xia Yunfei in front of him, and then looked at Xia Jingyun with a smile, "I went out to inspect, and just came back, I met Xia Gongzi to visit, it's really wonderful!" ”
Xia Jingyun smiled playfully, "Can it be so coincidental?" ”
Jin Jiancheng's face was not red, "I don't believe it when I say it, but it's such a coincidence!" ”
Xia Jingyun snorted coldly and looked at Xia Yunfei, "Cousin, I'll tell you directly, you also saw it, this is not a righteous army, and my sister and my face are completely useless here." If you hadn't shown your skills yesterday, we wouldn't even be able to enter the camp today. After you came, you will be a helpless soldier, but if you are willing to listen to your sister's arrangement and follow her into Beijing, she can arrange a lieutenant for you casually, which is better than you suffering here for half your life. ”
Although Xia Jingyun's words were straightforward, but he was also boasting about Wudang Army in and out of his words, Jin Jiancheng was not only not angry but also hurriedly said: "Xia Gongzi's words are bad, we have tested Brother Ling's talent yesterday, and if I am not in the army, I will be taken seriously!" ”
Xia Jingyun squinted, "You can also give a captain?" ”
Jin Jiancheng's expression froze, "The appointment of the lieutenant is not in my hands, and I need to return to Beijing to pay the Ming Prince." But I can guarantee that Brother Ling can be the centurion. ”
"On one side is the captain, on the other side is the centurion, just like one side is the Taishou, and the other side is the county order, one step is like a moat. And now the other party said it nicely, the rules of the military camp are strict, General Jin holds a grudge against me, and in the future, you will be punished by wearing a small shoe, and you will have nowhere to escape! ”
Xia Jingyun said solemnly: "Big brother, I'll do it all, how to choose, you decide for yourself." ”
Jin Jiancheng looked at Xia Yunfei and said solemnly: "Don't worry, this will never happen, I have no strict discipline in the army, and I, Jin Jiancheng, also promise you here......"
Before Jin Jiancheng's words were finished, Xia Yunfei interrupted him, "General, there is no need to make such a statement, I believe you!" ”
Jin Jiancheng inexplicably felt a warmth rising in his heart, and he heard Xia Yunfei say to Xia Jingyun: "Erlang, I know that you are for my good, but I joined the army only to show my ambition to serve the country with loyalty to the monarch in my chest, and to make contributions to the cause with all my heart, and there are no distracting thoughts." There is no army in the world, and the military god is famous, which is my best choice. ”
He paused for a moment and said the line that Erlang told him to say, "If you can join this army, you still have no regrets even if you die nine times!" ”
Jin Jiancheng only felt a sour nose, and a thick pride and emotion filled his heart.
He blurted out, "Good brother! You can rest assured, when you join our army, you will be robed, and my golden sword will protect you, otherwise you will be ashamed of your fist! ”
Xia Jingyun looked at the two of them, flicked his sleeves helplessly, and said hatefully: "Whatever you want!" ”
Immediately strode away, and after taking a few steps, he paused, turned his head and said: "General Jin, if my cousin makes a mistake, although my Xia Jingyun is soft-spoken, I will not spare you!" ”
Jin Jiancheng didn't care, looked at Xia Jingyun who left as a "loser", and smiled proudly, "Xia Gongzi, go slowly!" ”
Xia Jingyun flicked his sleeves with hatred and walked away.
Jin Jiancheng immediately looked at Xia Yunfei, in a good mood, "Good brother, go!" Let's go to camp! ”
