Wei Cheng is playing badminton with Zhong Chan in the Royal Garden.
There were no entertainment projects in this era, so Wei Cheng learned from later generations and had people make badminton rackets and badminton balls.
The wooden badminton racket is a bit heavy. When hitting the ball, it can not only exercise muscles, but also play a certain role in strength training.
As the New Year approaches, Zhong Chan, Hao Niang and Xie Yu also move here from Anyi.
Because of Xie Yu's incident, Wei Cheng did not dare to be careless and specifically asked them to wait for Dian Wei and Xu Chu to recover before escorting them south.
At this time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood outside the east and west gates of the imperial garden like two pagodas.
On their necks, a hideous wound can be seen.
Although Wei Cheng used special sutures that can be absorbed by the human body for suturing, his skills were not good and scars were left.
"Brother Zhongkang, we meet again."
Several people walked down the corridor, led by a female guard. Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun walked towards the imperial garden while looking at the palace.
This time Gongsun Zan went south from Youzhou and passed through Anyi, where he escorted Zhong Chan and other women to Beijing together with Xu Chu and others.
Therefore, several people are considered acquaintances.
Seeing Gongsun Zan, Xu Chu cupped his fists and saluted, "I have met the King of Zhenbei."
At this time, everyone in the Imperial Garden also heard the sound.
Wei Cheng handed the badminton racket to Xie Yu, who was looking forward to it, and then said: "You can continue playing, I won't accompany you anymore."
The girls glanced at the door and nodded slightly to Gongsun Zan as a greeting.
Wei Cheng took a towel and wiped his face, pointed to the palace next door, and said, "Let's go to the study and chat."
It is said to be a study, but it is actually a palace with several functional areas separated by screens.
Ancient buildings are basically like this. In short, they cover a large area, the floor height is high enough, and the view is broad enough.
So much so that in winter, if dozens of briquette stoves were not installed, the house would not be warm.
Fortunately, Wei Cheng specially built a fire pit in the study room. Someone was lighting the fire around the clock. After entering the room, he took off his shoes and climbed up, enjoying himself.
When Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun saw this, they were a little startled. How could they go to bed so easily?
Wei Cheng waved and signaled Gongsun Zan to take off his shoes and come up to feel it.
There were several armrests like pillows on the fire bed, and a low table made of huanghuali. Wei Cheng asked Zhao Yun to take out the tea tray from the closet, put it on, and then personally made tea to entertain Gongsun Zan.
"Come, Bogui, try this chrysanthemum tea. It is picked in the Mid-Autumn Festival and dried for half a month. It is fragrant and sweet. It is very good."
Gongsun Zan took off his leather boots and got on the kang, and the warmth on his buttocks made his eyes light up.
When winter begins in Youzhou, the lowest temperature can reach minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, and countless people die every winter.
The moment he sat on the fire bed, Gongsun Zan thought of taking this thing back to Youzhou and letting the craftsmen make it available to the people.
Wei Cheng seemed to have expected it, and motioned to Zhao Yun to get a booklet on the desk, handed it to Gongsun Zan, and said: "Well, don't say I don't take care of you, these are some policies to benefit the people, you can take them back and study them.
Try to stabilize Youyan as soon as possible."
Gongsun Zan took it with both hands respectfully and saw the four words "Essential Techniques for Hui Min" written in regular script on the booklet.
Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Take it back and look at it slowly. Let's talk about the situation in the grassland first."
···
It's approaching noon.
Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yuncai left the palace.
Gongsun Zan held the book "Essential Techniques for Benefiting the People" in his hand and hurriedly went back to discuss it with his advisers.
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Master, I want to see my elder brother."
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan smiled and said: "Go and say hello to Zihu on behalf of my king. Next year, when I conquer the Huns in the north, I will have to chat with the Longshan Army. Please ask me for help. When will I have some free time? I would like to invite the generals of the Longshan Army to eat."
A meal.”
Zhao Yun nodded and agreed.
The two separated outside the palace. Gongsun Zan went to Zhenbei Palace, while Zhao Yun went to Dingjunfang in the north of the city.
It's about a stick of incense's journey.
This was the second time that Zhao Yun came to his eldest brother Zhao Feng's house. He was no stranger to this. After showing his badge of Zhenbei King's Cavalry Lieutenant, the guard at the door let him go. Changshan Zhao Zilong, who doesn't recognize him now?
"Brother!"
Zhao Yun started shouting before he even entered the door.
In the yard.
Zhao Feng and Zhang Xiu are competing in martial arts and practicing for the upcoming martial arts competition.
Hearing Zhao Yun's shout, Zhao Feng put away his gun and said with a smile: "Look, I said it's time for Zilong to come too."
Zhang Xiu performed a beautiful trick with one hand and looked towards the courtyard gate with a smile.
As the sound of horse hooves progressed, a bright silver figure came into view.
"Big brother... senior brother, hahaha, you really came to Luoyang!"
Zhao Yun got off his horse and ran directly in. Looking at him at this time, he didn't look calm at all, but he looked like a carefree young man.
Zhao Feng took Zhang Xiu's spear and put it on the weapon rack with his own, and then ordered the butler to prepare hot soup.
Under the porch, when the two maids saw Zhao Yun arriving, they looked shy and secretly looked at the second master from time to time.
In later generations, there were many versions of the appearance rankings of the male characters of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhao Yun always ranked among the top ten in terms of handsomeness.
And the people in front of him are nothing more than: Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu and others, all of them are really suave, handsome, and have good personalities, which makes people have to love them.
Zhang Xiu was also very happy to see Zhao Yun, his younger brother, arrive.
The two of them were not divided into two camps because Wei Cheng, a big butterfly, slapped him in the face in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
When we met at this time, we couldn't help but hug each other, and they both sighed repeatedly.
"Hahaha, Zilong, you have grown a lot taller and become stronger. Okay, okay."
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Zilong wearing bright silver armor, and said he was lying if he said he wasn't envious.
Think about yourself again and don't be too much of a failure.
Gao Shi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in a poem:
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sun, the north wind blows the geese and snow;
Don’t worry, there will be no friends in the future. No one in the world will know you.
Liu He fluttered and felt sorry for himself. He left Beijing and Luo for more than ten years;
My husband is poor and lowly, so there is no money for drinks when we meet today.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A true portrayal of Zhang Xiu’s current heart. His former juniors have already become famous, but what about himself?
If I saw Zhao Feng before, I didn't think anything about it. After all, Zhao Feng was only one year younger than him.
But now seeing the handsome young man Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Eldest brother?"
Zhao Yun saw Zhang Xiu in a daze and couldn't help shouting.
Zhang Xiu came back to his senses, greeted him with a smile, and said: "Okay, you boy is doing great things now. I just watched the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", otherwise I wouldn't know that you were killing everyone in Wuhuan.
,Who in the world doesn’t know you, Changshan Zhao Zilong!”
Zhao Yun did not doubt that he was there, he laughed and said: "Elder brother, you are ridiculous. I just followed the lord and charged into the battle. If the lord didn't send people to support him, I would never dare to be like that. I really don't dare to take credit."
Zhang Xiu smiled awkwardly, that's right, sometimes being with the master is also a very important thing.
However, he was secretly glad that the victory was resolved quickly after the Wei family entered Beijing, otherwise he would have been almost dragged to Dongying by his uncle.
When Zhao Feng saw that the two people had finished their greetings, he stepped forward and said, "Okay, Master, he is still waiting in Dingjunfang. Let's go there quickly."
Zhang Xiu nodded. As Tong Yuan's chief disciple, he had not visited his master for many years and missed him deeply.
"Zilong, let's go to see Master and him together." Zhang Xiu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.
Zhao Yun nodded, looked at his eldest brother Zhao Feng, and said: "I found some good leather from Youzhou, and ordered someone to make some fur coats for Master to wear in the winter. Let's go to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion on the way, and I will bring it with me.
.”
Zhao Feng nodded, looked at Zhang Xiu, and said: "Zilong has been taken care of by the King of Zhenbei in Youzhou. As an elder brother, I should also go and say thank you. Senior brother should also come with me."
Zhang Xiu admired Gongsun Zan's heroic deeds very much, especially his military exploits and the title of king. This was the dream of many generals, and he was no exception.
Now that he was lucky enough to see the King of Zhenbei, Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll go with Zilong."
The three of them took the riding whip from the butler, got on their horses, and galloped towards Zhenbei Palace.
But when they arrived, they were told that Gongsun Zan had just returned home and had been invited to Dingjunfang.
The three of them had no choice but to take the gifts for Tong Yuan, then turn their horses and rush towards Dingjunfang, where everyone they wanted to see was there.
Not long after.
Dingjunfang in the north of the city.
With Zhao Feng leading the way, the three of them walked straight into the square without stopping.
The huge school ground was already crowded with people. People were competing in martial arts everywhere, and cheers were rising one after another.
On the high platform, Tong Yuan sat lazily on an imperial chair, holding a small wine bottle in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.
"Master!"
Zhang Xiu and the others rode directly to the high platform. Seeing their long-lost master, Zhang Xiu shouted excitedly.
Although Tong Yuan was old, he was a martial arts practitioner with sharp ears and eyes. When he raised his eyes, he stood up excitedly.
"Xiu'er?"
Zhang Xiu simply used his hands to lend strength, raised his feet and stepped on the horse's back, using the inertia of the horse's forward motion to jump directly onto the high platform.
"Unfilial disciple Zhang Xiu has met his master." Zhang Xiu knelt down on one knee with red eyes.
Tong Yuan was also a little moist-eyed. He put down the wine bottle, stepped forward to help Zhang Xiu up, looked up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, I haven't lost my effort."
Zhang Xiu choked with sobs and responded: "Master, don't worry, my disciple will obey the master's orders, practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, I don't dare to be negligent in the slightest."
Tong Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Very good, the way to strengthen your body is persistence. I feel very happy to be a teacher."
At this time, brothers Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun also climbed up the stairs to the high platform, and they both cupped their fists and saluted Tong Yuan.
When Tong Yuan saw the two of them, he pointed at Zhang Xiu and said, "Okay, when you came to Luoyang, you didn't come to find me as a teacher first, but you went to find your two junior brothers. It seems that I, an old man, am not as good as you."
Junior brothers are important."
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
They knew that Tong Yuan was just joking.
Tong Yuan was even more pleased to see the tacit understanding between the three of them. With such harmony between the brothers, he, as a master, was naturally happy.
You know, the world is in chaos. Not only are people from the same family fighting against each other, there are also brothers, father and son, who are fighting to the death.
Zhao Feng took a step forward, cupped his fists and said: "Master, senior brother has signed up to participate in the martial arts competition. With senior brother's skills, he will enter the top 100 and will definitely join the Longshan Army. From now on, my two brothers will be colleagues."
"oh!"
Tong Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder, and said: "It's so fitting. With your qualifications, always staying in Xiliang to suppress bandits is a bit overqualified. If you can squeeze into the top fifty this time, master will be proud of you."
You recommend Jinjun to be a squad leader."
Zhang Xiu was stunned.
First fifty?
Master, even you, the old man, look down on me so much?
Tong Yuan seemed to feel his unwillingness, and sighed and said: "Xiu'er, just do your best this time. There should be no problem in the top fifty, but remember not to hurt yourself just for the sake of ranking. There are a lot of people here this time.
Master."
Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and nodded. Even his master said so. It seemed that there was no hope for him to enter the top ten.
Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who is weak-minded. After calming down, he raised his head and chest and said: "Master, I still want to give it a try. Even if my ranking rises a little, it will be good."
When Tong Yuan heard this, he knew that this apprentice had a character that refused to admit defeat.
Especially now that brothers Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun have become famous, as the senior brother, he is still a captain in the same place.
It's natural to feel a little unwilling in my heart.
"Oh, by the way, your second junior brother and third junior brother are also here this time. You can go and meet them later." Tong Yuan said suddenly.
Zhang Xiu and the others were startled at first, then overjoyed.
Especially Zhao Yun, said excitedly: "I heard that the second senior brother is also a fierce general under Yizhou Mu. I didn't expect people from Yizhou to come too. It seems that this martial arts conference is really full of masters."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tong Yuan liked this little apprentice the most, and taught him all he had learned. When he heard Zhao Yun's words, he said with a smile: "You don't want to
Forget about your third senior brother Liu Chong, if he sees you, he will probably have to teach you a lesson."
As soon as Zhao Yun heard about the third senior brother Liu Chong, he shuddered suddenly, turned around and looked around, and said with a guilty conscience: "Didn't the third senior brother go to practice Taoism with his uncle? Why is he here too?"
Tong Yuan and Li Yan were sworn brothers. They studied under the tutelage of their adoptive father, Yu Zhenzi. Tong Yuan studied martial arts and Li Yan practiced Taoism. The two had different pursuits.
Listening to Zhao Yun talking about Li Yan, Tong Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Your senior uncle was deceived into going to Heluo College. From now on, he will live in Heluo College. Naturally, your third senior brother also followed and got a tutorship."
title."
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "How is it possible that there is still someone in this world who can hire Uncle Master?"
Tong Yuan sneered, "The Yan family is shameless in inviting me. Although your uncle has a bad temper, he still values friendship."
Oh, that’s it. The three brothers and sisters looked at each other, all shaking their heads with a wry smile.
Master Tong Yuan and uncle Li Yan married Yan Yun and Yan Yu respectively, the two eldest ladies of the Yan family in Hebei.
Therefore, the two of them are not only a foster father and master, but also sworn brothers, and even brothers-in-law.
At this time, Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Feng and said in a deep voice: "Zihu, the Yan family has big plans for coming to Beijing this time. If she asks someone to find you, you must not agree to anything at will, and you don't have to worry about your teacher's face.
,do you know?"
Zhao Feng scratched his head angrily, that person is the master's wife after all. If you two old people quarrel, it's hard for us juniors to follow and divide into camps, right?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this.
He could only nod his head against his will, hoping that the Yan family would not send anyone to look for him.
