To be precise, it is the first day of training before officially taking up the job.
Xia Xun is riding on a white horse, wearing a bright red flying fish suit, with the right lapel folded, wide sleeves tied around the waist, front sleeves on the back, sleeves on both shoulders and knee-length colorful woven flying fish, flying clouds, waves, red cliffs, at sunset
The golden light is shining underneath, and at first glance, it looks like a python robe. There is an embroidered spring knife on the waist, a palace waist badge, and a black gauze cap on the head.
Handsome, so handsome.
Nan Feifei, who was hiding in the teahouse, leaned on the railing and stared at the little stars. It turned out that some girls in the Ming Dynasty were also obsessed with Brother Bing.
Xie Yufei couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Isn't it just that I changed my clothes? I'm still the same person, what's so good about it?"
"You're really handsome!" Nan Feifei said eagerly: "Sister, do you really don't want her anymore? If you don't want me, I won't do it."
"What are you going to do? Don't want your brother Ximen?"
"Speaking of Brother Ximen..."
Nan Feifei's face dropped: "It's been so long and I haven't seen him come to me. This heartless guy, I told him my home address. Didn't he just forget about me when he turned around? No,
I am already a grown man, and if I wait any longer, I will become an old girl that no one wants. I cannot wait for him, I want to take control of my own happiness."
"Are you an old maid?"
Xie Yufei's nose was almost crooked with anger: "If you become an old girl, then who am I? Can you please stop looking for such lame excuses?"
Nan Feifei covered her mouth and smiled: "That only proves that you are older than me. It's pitiful. You can't talk about marriage within three years, so you can stay alone. Sister, I won't accompany you anymore. This
Yang Xu, you need an official position, you need talent, you need good looks, you need money, and you are the one who forced us to reconcile, so I can’t be considered the one who robbed you."
Xie Yufei had calmed down and said with a smile: "Okay, if you really like him, then go and chase him. With your skills, you will definitely be able to hook him up. Wait until Ximen Qing rushes to Jinling.
Don't blame anyone for coming to you, only blame him for coming late."
Nan Feifei stopped laughing, pulled her sleeves, pouted, and said sadly: "Sister, he said he would come to me soon, why hasn't he come yet? Do you think he is trustworthy?"
Reliable?"
"You really like him?"
Nan Feifei thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "Well, it's true! He is very good at coaxing and taking care of others. Sometimes I clearly bully him on purpose and make him angry, but he is not annoyed. When I am around him, I
Very happy."
Xie Yufei sighed, gently took her to his side, and watched Xia Xun riding a horse slowly passing downstairs: "Then...just wait patiently. My sister used to wait for him for sixteen years.
Well, you only have a few days, at least...you still have someone to wait for..."
"The young master is back!"
"Wow, so handsome."
"Our young master looks like he is destined to be a high official."
"No, he's made to be a general."
"Look at that official robe, does it look like a prince? What's embroidered on it looks like a golden dragon..."
The Yang family stood at the gate waiting for Xia Xun, who had gone to work the first day, to come back. Under the setting sun, a man in a white horse and a red robe suddenly appeared, and the whole family immediately jumped for joy.
The Yang family, who had long been beaten down by Xia Xun and lost their arrogance, all leaned against the crack in the door and looked out, with awe on their faces and did not dare to speak loudly.
When Xia Xun arrived in front of his house, his family gathered around him. Xia Xun sat on his horse but did not move.
Peng Ziqi had admired it enough and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, okay, stop showing off. If you don't come down yet, why don't you wait for someone to help you?"
Xia Xun smiled bitterly and said: "You really need to help me, my legs...can't move forward..."
In Xia Xun's room, Xia Xun was sitting in front of the couch. Peng Ziqi and Xiaodi were on the left and right, washing his feet carefully. There were already blisters on Xia Xun's feet.
Xiaodi asked curiously: "Master, the imperial guard is in the palace. Do you need to run a long way? Why are you so tired?"
Xia Xun said with a sad face: "Well, I thought it was easy. Who knew there were so many things to do? When the emperor goes to court, I am a warrior standing in the palace. How long does it take for the emperor to handle official business? I have to do it at the imperial level.
You have to stand still for a long time, standing as tall as a mountain, without squinting, until the court is over. Therefore, when you are not on duty, you must practice the stance skill hard."
He sighed and added: "If the emperor did not go to the harem, but went to the Wenlou, Wulou, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall to handle the memorials and meet the courtiers, as the imperial bodyguard, I would also accompany him and stand at the entrance of the palace.
Standing, unable to move at all. But if the emperor goes on a tour, I have to follow him wherever he goes. If he goes out of the capital, he still rides on a horse, but if he goes inside, he has to walk on two legs.
Well, in fact, the emperor rarely leaves the palace, and he does not attend court meetings every day. If the emperor is in the palace reviewing memorials, he can occasionally be lazy, and it is not so tiring. The problem is that in the afternoon, the emperor returns to the harem to rest, and I still have to patrol the palace
, just wearing a knife and walking in circles, walking, walking, walking, actually not a ghost can be seen.
I really didn’t know that the imperial guards were so tired. That’s fine. In fact, they don’t have to be on duty every day. They have rotating days off. The problem is that when the guards are not on duty, they have to practice martial arts every day, running, climbing, and standing. It doesn’t matter at all.
Take some time off."
Xiaodi said: "That's it. I thought the young master would be very prestigious as an official. If I had known, it would be better to enjoy peace and happiness at home."
Xia Xun added: "You can't say that. I'm too leisurely now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear all these hardships. It's good to get some exercise. You don't know, those guards are all little people in the palace, so you can't.
You can't tell Zhang San Li Si, but if you put it outside, there is no vegetarian. You must know that those who can serve as guards in the palace are almost all the children of meritorious officials. Without any background in the family, it is difficult to get into the palace and serve as a guard. These are the things that are in the sky.
The eldest young masters in the family are all meticulous in the palace and have strict military discipline. They dare not slack off in the slightest. These are young masters who have someone in their family who is a high official since birth. They can do it, why can't I?
?”
Peng Ziqi wiped his feet and saw several big blisters on his feet. He said distressedly: "Move to the bed. I'll prick it for you. Apply some medicine and it'll be fine overnight. Otherwise, it won't be clear."
How can I persevere when I still need to learn etiquette and practice martial arts?"
Peng Ziqi took a silver needle, carefully opened his blisters, and applied some medicine. Xiaodi brought him a pair of soft and breathable cattail slippers to put on.
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you are really spoiling me. It's just a blister on my foot, it's not a big deal. I just came in and saw that the flower garden in the front yard seems to have been repaired? I'll go take a look.
Look."
Xia Xun walked to the door and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, you two are both very active. We had a lot of things at home a few days ago and couldn't take care of anything. Then I arranged something like this
I have an errand and I don’t have time to accompany you. You two don’t have to stay at home all day. You can go out for a walk when you have time. The scenery around Moling Town is quite good. If you go to Jinling City for a walk, the road is not far away. At the foot of the Emperor
, there won’t be any trouble, just go out for a walk when you have time.”
Peng Ziqi lowered his head and said quietly: "Yes, but... Manager Xiao said that when a woman gets married, she should live in peace and be a little bit like a young mistress..., he didn't tell me explicitly, but I know he meant it.
For me to listen to."
Xiaodi also said: "Yes, my father's control is becoming more and more lenient. He said that now our family is famous and others are staring at our family. He also said that the young master has become a high official and asked me to learn some rules. I
In the past two days, I didn’t even dare to go out to the backyard. I squatted there with Sister Ziqi fighting ants all day long..."
Xia Xun waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about your dad, I'll take care of everything. Our family doesn't follow those rules and we keep you at home all day long. What's the good?"
Putting aside his trust and care for Zi Qi and Xiao Di, Xia Xun did not agree with the ancient practice of locking women at home. Those people seemed to think that keeping women at home would be safe, but little did he know that those young women did not
Because being locked up at home consumes her energy.
On the contrary, they are well-dressed and well-fed every day, but have nothing to do. Who doesn’t have seven emotions and six desires? Gradually becoming empty and lonely will make her more sensitive than ordinary women, and it is easier to cross the boundaries of law and morality. A few sweet words from others
, maybe he ran away with them, Xuelian, Miao Yi, Wu Feiyi, etc. Xia Xun didn't want to turn Zi Qi into a canary in a cage longing for freedom.
As soon as Xia Xun went out, Peng Ziqi and Xiaodi, two little women pretending to be pitiful, cheered and hugged each other.
"Ha, I got the young master's order this time. It's hard for my father to say anything. Sister Ziqi, I didn't make it to Qixia Mountain last time. Let's go to Qixia Mountain for a walk tomorrow. I heard there is a temple there, let's go
Goodbye, I wish you success in your career as an official."
Hearing about Qixia Mountain and thinking of the charming romance with Xia Xun in front of the mountain stream, Peng Ziqi couldn't help but blush and said: "Don't go to Qixia Mountain. I just realized that this place is where you can see the cow head in spring and Qixia in autumn. The scenery of Qixia in spring is not the best."
As beautiful as Niushou Mountain."
Xiaodi didn't have any special opinions, so she said: "Okay, okay, let's go to Niushou Mountain, and then go to Jinling City for a walk. I haven't visited the imperial capital seriously yet. Sister Ziqi, look at what the young master is doing."
You are so kind, other people's husbands are not as easy-going as my young master."
Peng Ziqi smiled and said, "None of the other young masters are as easy-going as my husband, right?"
When Xiaodi heard that there was something wrong in her words, she couldn't help but blush, and she didn't dare to pick up her words again.
Xia Xun wore Yanju's regular clothes and a pair of cattail slippers and went to the front yard. He saw that the main entrance, screen wall, front yard, flower garden, and main house were all almost completed. Flowers and plants had been planted in the flower garden, and they were gorgeous and fragrant. He felt happy in his heart.
Xia Xun sighed with satisfaction: "It's good now. The grievances between Yang Xu's family and the Yang family have been completely settled. With a word from Lao Zhu, I was transferred to the palace as a guard, with a high salary and good treatment.
It’s good and safe. I have no chance of being used as cannon fodder for any party in the Battle of Jingnan. I can finally settle down and enjoy my life..."
Happiness naturally exists, but can he really live a peaceful life at such a young age?
