Chapter 164: Let's go...
With so many people all at once, he naturally could not live at home. So Jingshi rented a courtyard in the suburbs of the county, which could not only accommodate and train. He also borrowed a hundred households from Yu Dayou to be an instructor and helped Tiezhu train the thirty personal soldiers together.
For his own safety, silence has invested a lot. On the one hand, Tiezhu is trying hard to train, on the other hand, chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice and flour are available, and with the money from buying armor and weapons, the silver is really like flowing water.
With his little share income of selling salt alone, he was far from enough to make ends meet. The reason why he dared to open up his flowers was because he had just made a fortune... On the day's reward ceremony, the thousand guests did not come empty-handedly, and all were presented with congratulations. On such a big occasion, everyone was unwilling to fall into a cold house, ranging from three to five taels to dozens of taels, and even rich people paid for thousands of taels at a time... Finally, after deducting the cost of holding a banquet, there was still more than 25,000 taels left, which made him feel much more confident.
While training others, he did not forget to strengthen his training. In addition to studying with the prefect Tang, he learned to ride a horse and his marksmanship was much more accurate than before. When the golden oak fragrance came, he felt that he had to set off - because he had to send it to Beijing before the New Year.
He went to tell Tang Shunzhi first. The prefect Tang knew that he was leaving, so it was not surprising that he also found a bodyguard for him... He Xinyin, known as the No. 1 sword in North China. According to Tang Shunzhi, this hero He followed him to fight against the Japanese in Ningbo front line, and he fought more than ten Japanese pirates alone without any disadvantage. After killing several people, he escaped without any loss. He wandered around all year round and had a rich experience in the world. He was really the best bodyguard candidate to go out.
He Daxia, who was wearing a hat and carrying a sword, went home and waited first. He went to the provincial school to ask for leave, asking for leave, and requested to be absent from the next few months of the exam. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say hello, because no one wants to offend him, a hot newcomer. But the more this happens, the more cautious he becomes. He is unwilling to give someone a handle and cause unnecessary trouble.
The school didn't even ask what he was going to do, so he agreed very happily, just told him not to forget to study, as the next year will be the year of the competition.
After coming out of the professor at the school, he walked silently in the empty square of the Mansion School. At this moment, the students were working hard in the classroom. This square that could accommodate 3,000 people for exams was quiet at this moment, with only a few birds jumping around on the ground.
When he was about to go out, someone called him in front of him. He looked up silently and saw Tao Yuchen who had not seen for a long time, and then smiled and said, "Why did you come to study so late?"
Tao Yuchen smiled and said, "I'm here to ask for leave."
"You want to ask for leave too?" Chen Si asked softly.
"I want to go back to Yuelu Academy and work hard with my master, and strive to never lose to my senior brother next year's provincial examination." Tao Yuchen smiled and said, "I heard from my senior brother that he used the word 'ye', would you ask for leave?"
Silently touched his head, and smiled bitterly: "I am not as good as you, I have an errand to do."
Tao Yuchen chuckled and said, "Then I'm more sure." He said, "What errand can you say?"
Silent shook his head and smiled, "It's better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. I'll just push you when I can't say I can't do it."
Tao Yuchen knew the tactfulness and did not ask, bowed and smiled, "The green mountains will not change."
"Green water always flows." Chen Si bowed and smiled, "Let's see you again in the exam."
"Goodbye to the test."
After studying in the palace, he felt that he should go home. In recent days, he has been studying his six heavenly books with Tang Shunzhi all day long, and he has been training with the guards for a month. Chen He has also been working in the government office all day long, and the father and father have met very often.
When I got home, my father seemed to be a clever plan and had already arranged a table of wine and food to wait for him.
The father and son sat down, drank for a while, and Chen He said, "You little brat, you are obviously going to travel around the province, why are you scammering me to go to the provincial capital?"
Silently picked up a chopstick to smoke the fish and laughed: "Did you know?"
"Nonsense, if I hadn't seen the writings of 'The Inspector General was ordered to inspect the various governments for preparations for Japanese' in the morning, I would have been kept in the dark!" Chen He groaned.
Silent scratched his head and smiled, "Don't you not want to worry you?"
"If you don't want me to worry, you should stay at home." Chen He yelled: "Don't go anywhere."
"Actually it's not that dangerous," said Silently, "Look at Zhang Butang, Li Zhongcheng has run around all day and hasn't seen anything wrong... After all, the Japanese pirates are just robbery on the coast, not occupying the mountains as kings. If the child runs in the mainland, there is no danger at all."
Although Chen He was a little naive, he was not stupid. He knew that his son was deliberately talking to the point, but Wang Ming Rutian, he couldn't do anything even if he didn't want to. After a while, he finally said slowly: "When you come back, you can make a marriage..." As he said that, he couldn't help but smile and said, "My son is so popular." He was almost annoyed by the matchmaker like a mung bean fly, and the woman's uncle came to the door directly, and he was very stunning to refuse to leave if he didn't agree.
Silent thought about it, nodded slightly and said, "Yes." Outside the Yiheyuan pawn shop, Ms. Yin gave him a fruit basket with some seasonal fruits on it, but the green persimmons that were not good to eat below. Silent is not the case, so naturally I understand that those sour and astringent green persimmons mean that the meaning of "being less than the season". Persimmons ripened in late autumn, and Ms. Yin also had the sanction at that time, and the meaning of it was clear.
Chen Si made an appointment to go for two or three months. When he came back, he spread the matter openly, so he said 'yes'. Chen He didn't know what he was thinking, and he thought that Chen Si was agreeing to go on a blind date for him. The father and son's thoughts led to a quarrel, but that was a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Silence staggered the topic and said, "Stop talking about me, hurry up and get your business done."
"What else can I do?" Chen He slapped and drank a cup of old wine and said, "I have returned the betrothal gifts long ago."
Chen Silent said in surprise: "When did it happen? Why?"
"According to the rules of our Shaoxing, your mother was granted an imperial edict, so your father could not marry a second wife. How could he be a concubine for me if he is a young daughter?" Chen He shook his head and sighed: "What a pity..."
The corner of his mouth twitched, "Then when will you find a concubine?"
Chen He laughed and scolded, "Don't worry about your father's business, please do your job with peace of mind..." As he said that, his eyes turned red, "But be more careful."
Silently focused his head and said softly: "I can do it, you should take care of yourself..."
The next morning, the silent garrison was in the yard.
Tiezhu woke up on time when the sky was light, and he got up and moved his muscles and bones, went to the yard to fetch water and took a shower, wiped his body with a towel, put on a brand new close-fitting suit that had just been beaten, put on the same brand new short-sleeved double-breasted armor, and put on the shiny high-top cowhide military boots.
The whole outfit was only sent yesterday, which made Tiezhu, who had always wanted to have a military uniform, extremely excited. He found tung oil to wipe the leather boots so clearly that it was obvious. He also spent two taels of silver to buy a good cowhide belt... because he felt that the original cloth belt was too unpretentious.
His fingers slid across the corner of the purple-paste belt and solemnly buckle the brass belt buckle with a "click". The cowhide belt tightly hangs it around his waist. He then inserted the bright sword into the scabbard and hung it on the side of the belt. Then he put the wrist buckle on and hung a black cloak.
When I walked to the wellhead and looked down, I saw a mighty officer giggling at me on the surface of the flat mirror.
He couldn't help but touch his head, and he was happy... the person in the water also touched his head, and he was happy.
While having fun, he heard the sound of horse hooves ringing at the gate of the courtyard. Lord Shen, wearing a blue robe, appeared in the courtyard accompanied by Xiaoshutong Chen'an.
He quickly stopped his smile, picked up his hat, followed the red tassel on the top of the spire, put it on his head, and quickly met him.
Seeing the majestic captain of the personal soldiers, Chen Si was very proud and laughed: "Tiezhu, why don't you call them up and have dinner?"
‘Didi…’ The sharp whistle sounded the next moment, and the riots in the bungalows at the north end immediately began. The soldiers got up, washing their faces, and dressing, and not one of them was negligent... Because if they had not gathered in the yard for more than a quarter of an hour, they could only watch others have breakfast.
A month of training was not in vain, at least not one was late. When everyone arrived, the rich breakfast had been prepared long ago and then brought it up.
The breakfast was fried with white rice and soybeans, and each person had four eggs. Everyone knew that the next meal would have to eat dry food in the wilderness. Without the instructions of Tiezhu, they could let go of their stomachs and eat them. After a full meal, each person brought five kilograms of golden cakes and some pickles. Before arriving at the next destination, this was all their food.
Half an hour later, the thirty soldiers, who were full and full of food and drink, were in full spirit, wearing brand new armor, leading their own horses, and lined up neatly in the yard, waiting for the inspection by the inspector.
The silent face was tense tightly, his eyes swept in front of everyone, and finally said in a deep voice: "Please!"
"Defend your lord to the death!" Under Tiezhu's agent, the personal soldiers shouted in unison.
Chapter completed!
