Chapter 4 Strange Times (Part 1)

During the three days of practicing martial arts, in these three days, except in the morning and evening, like the other four days, I spent the day doing basic skills, exercising all parts of the body, and did not teach any moves. Some were like yoga, some were like

The difficult movements in acrobatics are the strength of the arms, waist, abdomen and legs.

"No wonder Zhao Rong didn't want to practice before. This was so uncomfortable. It was so sour, numb, painful, itchy, and itchy. It really tasted like it. If it weren't for herbal health care, I'd probably be able to practice a healthy person.

.I haven't done this in my previous life, but this herbal bath is really good. No matter how tired or uncomfortable it is, it's amazing to just soak it. And my physical fitness has also increased significantly. Now I'm probably the same as the other eleven or eleven years old.

The boys are similar." Zhao Rong thought while practicing, just to divert attention.

"Hey, why don't you humming today? You were not always humming before." Zhao He asked in surprise.

"Only those who endure hardships can become the best!"

"Where did you hear it? Master Li taught you?" Zhao He was even more surprised.

"No, it's a sentence from Emperor Gaozu of Chu in "History of Chu" that preached the princes." Zhao Rong moved his body and replied.

Zhao Hebian helped his baby son correct his posture and asked with a smile: "Can you understand Chu Shi?"

"No, the child can understand some of it, and there are some words that he doesn't know yet. Don't say that he understands the meaning of it."

"Yeah, it's not bad, it's not bad." Zhao He touched his short beard and sighed with a smile.

Seeing his son working hard to train, Zhao He was not as happy as before, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

"Young Master, your handwriting is so beautiful!" Ruyu looked at Zhao Rong's handwriting and threw out her own words of praise without hesitation.

Looking at the movie "The Little Girl Beside You" who is three years old than me, Zhao Rong smiled and said, "Is this good-looking? My father and Master Li's calligraphy is much better than mine." After all, he is a soul in his twenties.

, he learned calligraphy much faster. Two years later, although Zhao Liu's calligraphy is nothing to adults, he is very good at judging by his ten-year-old age.

"Young Master is still young after all, and even Master Li praised the young Master, saying that your handwriting is good."

After looking at the girl who was given to him by the mother and came to take care of him, Zhao Rong thought about it and asked, "Do you want to learn, I will teach you."

Ruyu was excited and asked quickly, "Can I read and write?"

When Zhao Rong heard this, he suddenly realized that in this world, slaves do not have the right to read and read, unless the master allows them. There is still a level gap between slaves, and those who know how to read are better than those who don’t know. Like Ruyu, of course

If you want to learn to read, you can stay with the young master and don’t have to do some rough work like others. After all, the young master’s close servant is equal to half of the master. Of course, Ruyu knows that many sisters envy him.

"Of course, I'm quite bored alone. My father and mother don't let me go out." Zhao Rong thought for a while and asked again: "Ruyu, when did you enter our house? How could you sell yourself as a slave?"

"I came in five years ago. My family was poor and was invaded by the northern militars. My whole family fled. I really had no food or drink, so I had to sell me to support my younger brother and sister." Ruyu said with red eyes.

.

"The northern miraculous invasion? Are you talking about the war in the north? How far is it from here?" Zhao Rong asked in surprise.

"It's not far away, only three or four hundred miles. Northern Marines often invade, and it's like this every year."

“…………”

I thought I was in a peaceful and prosperous era, and it turned out to be on the chaotic frontier. I don’t know what the Central Plains is like. It’s really dangerous to stay here. Why didn’t my father move to the Central Plains? The Central Plains are not restless? But the Central Plains are no longer restless.

It's better than the frontier! Is this why my father asked me to practice martial arts? By the way, I don't know where Pingzhou is?

While Zhao Rongjiao Ruyu was learning to write, Zhao He’s study talked about his affairs. “Madam, should you come to Ronger go out so that Lao Li can take a look. If there is something wrong, it’s easy to arrange it.” Zhao Rongyou said

He frowned and said.

Mrs. Zhao said a little anxiously: "It has been four or five years since the matter has passed, so it should be fine. If something happened, it would have happened long ago."

"Madam, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of if I don't want to. I know the abilities of those people better than anyone else, and there are so many things here. Besides, I'm not just in case. I got the news before the New Year, let's get it

Several households in Jizhou disappeared, and they were the rest of the people who had settled there before." Zhao He said helplessly and angrily.

"What, have they chased Youzhou? From Chang'an to Youzhou, they are really well-known." Mrs. Zhao said in a little horror: "Okay, take Rong'er out and let Old Li look at it from a distance, but this is all

I’m afraid I may not be able to escape it. No, I must think of a complete solution and not let our son make a slight mistake."

Zhao He pulled the wife's hand, patted her lightly a few times, comforted the nervous lady, and said confidently: "Madam, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will definitely protect you and Ronger's safety.

The next time I went out, I picked a few smart boys to study with him, so that the boy would not keep saying that he was bored in the yard and wanted to go out." After that, Zhao He rolled his eyes a few times, as if he had thought of something, and let go of his heart.

Big stone.

"Yuaner, I won't practice today. Today we are going to take a walk in Pingzhou City. Don't you think about going out all day long?" Zhao Xun, who was about to train normally in the morning, heard his father's voice.

"It's great, I can finally go out and have a look." Zhao Rong has almost never left the mansion since he can remember. Although he didn't know why, he didn't ask, because he believed that his parents did this for his own good.

.

Fireworks in March, grass grows and birds fly. It is indeed a good time to go out for a trip, but after Zhao Rong left the mansion, he saw it on the carriage not the young master, but the beggars all over the streets. It was not ordinary

Beggars are refugees, groups of refugees. If the guards left the palace brought more than 30 people, and even the girls had fifty people in total, they would probably have been stolen by the refugees.

Zhao Rong naturally stayed in a carriage with his parents. Looking at the refugees begging on both sides of the street, he couldn't help asking: "Mom, where do these refugees come from? No one cares about the yamen, and no one can help the disaster.

Is it?"

Zhao He sighed and shook his head and said, "These are the people of Yingzhou, Yanzhou, Weizhou, Shenzhou, Xuanzhou, Chongzhou and other prefectures in the northern part of Pingzhou. Only these prefectures and counties were invaded by the five northern tribes and fled here.

The land. In one way, there are too many refugees and cannot be rescued. In addition, the governor of Pingzhou Prefecture does not want to bear these things. Therefore, if someone wants them, he will sell himself as a slave. If he doesn't want them, he will either wait for death or cause trouble to all directions.

In the eastern and northern Youzhou, many robbers and bandits were forced out like this." I felt that saying this to the ten-year-old child was useless, and finally sighed helplessly.

"The governor of Pingzhou is so inaction, aren't he afraid of punishment from superior officials? Besides, there are too many bandits, and this is also the governor's business!" Zhao Rong couldn't help asking.

Zhao He glanced at Zhao Rong and felt that his son seemed to be becoming more and more mature. He explained: "The highest civil servant in Youzhou is the Youzhou Xuanfu Envoy. Although he is in charge of the government affairs of the entire Youzhou, he cannot exempt or punish the state.

Officials at the government level can only submit memorials to the court, which will be handled by the court. If the imperial envoy's memorials were usually given, he would definitely be able to deal with him, but now, not to mention whether he will submit memorials, even if he submits memorials, I am afraid no one will do it.

Tube."

"As for bandits, it is the business of military officers. The governor of Youzhou wants to resist the northern border and has no time to take care of these. The commanders of the prefectures are waiting for refugees to become bandits while waving to refugees to suppress bandits. They have received rewards from the court, but also

If you can be greedy for the pensions sown by the court, you will also receive funding from the chamber of commerce and landlords. Hum!" When he said the funding, Zhao He couldn't help but snorted.

Funding? I'm afraid these lieutenants are forcing them. If they don't give it, I'm afraid these people will attack them in the name of bandits and thieves. Zhao Rong looked at his father's ugly face and guessed.

Wait, Youzhou? Could it be that Youzhou in the later Hebei and Liaoning areas.

After communicating with his father, Zhao Rong affirmed his position, which was the Youzhou in the ancient Han Dynasty, which was only half of the western part. Pingzhou City is more than three miles long, and it is also considered a considerable city.

Since the north is of all ethnic groups on the grassland, there are many foreign merchants coming and going.

Pingzhou Chengdong City is a place where merchants of all ethnic groups gather, where horses, fur, tea, porcelain, salt and other goods from the north are traded here.

Although I don’t know what my parents are doing here, Zhao Rong looked around. Although I have seen the tall buildings in later generations, I still feel a different flavor of this authentic ancient city. In addition, Zhao Rong also found that something was wrong.

What a strange thing: This time I left the house, I only had three of me and my parents, but I pulled four big cars. The other three liang had no people sitting, and there were no window curtains around me. Through the window, you could see that there were some inside.

groceries.

Strange, do you need to use such a big car to transport some groceries? But I bought too many of them. I saw that my father didn't look at the things he bought, so I just threw them in. Could it be that he had too much money and had nowhere to spend them.

?Zhao Rong muttered secretly.

The convoy slowly drove towards the south city. After passing a relatively crowded street, Zhao Liu's carriage was moving forward next to the eaves on the right, and it was still very slow.

"It's too slow to walk around the right path in front." Zhao He ordered in the car. However, what surprised Zhao Rong was that his father took off his outer robe and showed a white warrior outfit inside.

"Don't be surprised, be with your mother." Zhao He gently patted Zhao Rong's head and whispered. When the carriage Zhao Rong was riding around a corner, the servants in the convoy behind could not see the front, and the front

When the guards did not look back and could not see behind, Zhao He lifted the window curtain and jumped out. Before the window curtain fell, Zhao Rong saw that the area outside the window was the window of the opposite house.

I said why the carriage is so high and the window is so big. It turns out that it is used like this. Why do we do it? Is someone monitoring our family? Is this because my parents didn't go out? Also, my father's skills are indeed extraordinary.

In the narrow car, he flew out of the window silently without relay. If this family was arranged by his father, it would be even more amazing. Who are they? Zhao Rong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
