Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. This sentence is an irrefutable truth wherever it goes. However, it sounds easy to say and everyone can talk about it for fun. He is really capable.
How many people can do it? Li Zhen doesn't care about others. What bothers Li Zhen most now is that someone says this in front of him. If someone says this, Li Zhen will have to deal with him. Without him, right now
Li Zhen was enduring a miserable life.
The weather in the capital in May is already very hot. Even if you are hiding in the shade wearing a single coat, you will still sweat. If you walk under the sun, most of the time, the sweat on your body will pour out like a waterfall.
, if you still have to carry heavy objects and run around under the scorching sun, then I'm afraid it's a bit inhumane. It seems like you should hide in a room with ice cubes to cool down. If you can drink a bottle with ice.
Not to mention how refreshing it is to have a piece of sour plum soup, but it is a pity that such a good thing is an unattainable dream for Li Zhen. Look, under the bright sun, Li Zhen is holding a large bucket as thick as his waist, walking towards
The two little feet swayed forward with difficulty.
It's been half a year, it's been half a year. It's been almost three days since March. Li Zhen has never had a comfortable day at all. Her daily schedule is full - one day
Early in the morning, I had to rush to Li Jing's house to study. After noon, I went to Qin Qiong's house to practice. Li Jing's side was just that. There were just exercises on the left and right. They memorized and wrote, let alone learning the art of war and strategies.
I have never seen Li Jing mention martial arts. The so-called homework was not enough for Li Zhen. It was very easy. However, when he arrived at Qin Qiong's house, Li Zhen suffered a lot. What about horseback riding, archery, and gun practice?
I haven’t seen the knife maker, but it’s just a job every day - carrying water. You can’t use a pole, you have to carry it. Every day, you have to fill a water tank within the specified time before the work is over. From last year to now, the water tank
The water tank is getting bigger and bigger, and the bucket in his hand is getting bigger and bigger, but the time to calculate the time is getting shorter and shorter. Qin Qiong is still a strict teacher, and he is never willing to be accommodating. But whenever it is overdue, the punishment will be accurate.
There was no way to escape, and the pressure was so great that Li Zhen couldn't even breathe.
Three trips, damn, it will take at least three trips to complete today's task. Li Zhen stumbled while walking and almost fell to the ground. She finally regained her footing and shook her head hard.
Shaking away the sweat dripping on her eyelashes, she secretly estimated the progress in her heart. She was filled with depression and a hint of unwillingness. Without him, only Li Zhen would suffer this kind of living sin. Li Zhen, who also worshiped Qin Qiong as his teacher,
But there was no need for treatment - at the beginning, Li Zhi had to carry water just like Li Zhen, but after he fell ill from the cold, a decree came from the palace: the King of Jin only needed to learn a little about riding and archery.
However, they are both princes and apprenticed together, but they can sit aside and drink herbal tea with the master, but they have to do hard work. The difference between the day and the place really makes Li Zhen feel a little distressed. There is no way, who can
As long as Li Zhen is a "general star", he can only endure hardships.
"Come on, Bage, the incense is going out!" Just when Li Zhen was lost in thought, Laojiu Li Zhi's crisp cry rang out.
Damn it, if you don’t hurry up, you’ll be punished again if you turn around. Damn it, Xiaojiu, how come your life is so good? Li Zhen didn’t even have the strength to reply. She shook her head with a wry smile, and hurriedly stumbled towards her.
He rushed forward, with some doubts in his heart - Li Zhen was not unable to endure hardships in his previous life, but he did not have such great perseverance. If he had not worked in the printing factory, he would not have been so cruel.
I went to take the postgraduate entrance examination, wasn't it just to change to a more comfortable working environment? This time I finally became a prince and enjoyed all the glory and wealth, but I was able to suffer a lot. This is none of my business, Li Zhen no matter what
I can't figure out where the hard-working spirit in me comes from. Maybe it can only be attributed to time travel syndrome.
Damn it, it's done at least! As the sun set, Li Zhen finally poured the last bucket of water into the water tank just before the incense went out. She sat down on the ground tiredly, but she couldn't keep up her energy.
He was panting heavily, his little arms and legs were so sore that they felt like they were about to break. After a while, he finally regained some strength. Dragging two empty buckets, he walked dejectedly to the shade of the tree where Qin Qiong was, panting:
"Master, the student has completed today's homework, please give me instructions."
Mr. Qin lay down very comfortably on the rocking chair Li Zhenxin sent him and rocked. He looked at Li Zhen with half-open eyes and said, "Well, okay, I'll start practicing the gun tomorrow."
Ah ha, I’m learning how to shoot a gun. Damn it, I finally don’t have to work as a water carrier anymore. Li Zhen was so excited that she almost threw the pair of empty buckets out of her hands, but she didn’t expect that Mr. Qin’s next words made Li Zhen follow.
Jiuxiaoyunwai fell to the ground again - "I will change the big bucket and big water tank tomorrow."
What? Did you make a mistake, you still have to carry water? Oh my god! Li Zhen was so angry and anxious that she almost cursed out loud, but after looking at Qin Qiong's burly figure, she didn't dare to say anything. She had no choice but to suffer.
He said with a straight face: "Yes, master, students will obey."
"Well, that's it for today. Let's go back." Qin Qiong nodded with satisfaction and signaled to the Li Zhen brothers that they could leave.
"Students, please leave." The two Li Zhen brothers each bowed and saluted, and walked out of the back garden of the Qin Mansion shoulder to shoulder.
"Bago." Just after walking out of the gate of Qin Mansion, before Li Zhen could get on the sedan, Li Zhi suddenly called from behind. There was a bit of panic, a bit of uneasiness, and a bit of worry in his voice.
's Qi Yi.
Huh? What's this kid doing? When Li Zhen heard that Li Zhi's tone was a bit wrong, he was stunned for a moment. But at this moment, Li Zhen was so tired that he was really too lazy to think about it, so he said without looking back: "Pheasant slave, I have something to say.
Just say it."
"Bago, it's like this. The eldest sister, ah, and the second sister all asked the younger brother to ask Bago if they still have the kind of, ah, orchid tables and chairs that Bago gave to the younger brother?" Li Zhi held it in for a while,
Only then did he pluck up the courage to ask timidly.
Eldest sister, second sister? Hey, damn it. Li Zhen naturally understood that the eldest sister Li Zhi mentioned, and the second sister referred to Princess Changle and Princess Chengyang. Speaking of these two princesses together, one ranked fifth and the other
She is the sixth child. The former is the eldest daughter of Empress Changsun, and the latter is the adopted daughter of Empress Changsun. She can also be regarded as the legitimate son. In the eyes of the legitimate son, all other princesses are excluded. This makes Li Zhen very dissatisfied.
, after all, Li Zhen herself was born as a concubine, and she didn't have a good impression of those concubines. However, Li Zhen naturally wouldn't put all her thoughts on her face. She paused, turned around and said, "Ninth brother, this
What do you mean, what I have is not my ninth brother’s, so I know what I’m doing, so that’s good. I’ll ask my brother to go to Yanji and tell me, and we can send them both to the palace tomorrow.”
Li Zhi nodded happily, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed. Li Zhen cursed secretly in her heart, but with a friendly smile on her face, she patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
I'm in the palace, but I have to go to school tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Li Zhi nodded vigorously and returned to his sedan chair with great satisfaction. Li Zhen laughed at herself, got up the sedan chair, and ordered Liu Dequan, who was accompanying him, to get up the sedan chair and return to the palace, but in his heart
But he was full of dissatisfaction: Damn, there must be something fishy about this matter. Neither Changle nor Chengyang are people who are greedy for petty gains. Besides, although the set of tables and chairs is a bit more expensive, considering their monthly income,
, it’s easy to buy a set. There’s no reason for Xiaojiu to come forward and reach out to us. Maybe Xiaojiu is trying to please his two sisters. Hey, it seems that this Xiaojiu is nothing.
He's a simple person, he's only a little older and he already knows how to behave well, and he still uses my things as favors. Damn it! No matter what, I don't intend to seize the direct descendants, so what are you doing with those who have them but don't have them?
Damn, I'm unlucky. I have to work tomorrow, so I'd better go back and freshen up quickly and go to bed early.
Li Zhen, who was so tired that she had no dreams all night, got up early in the morning. She was helped by the eunuchs to change her clothes and freshen up. She ate breakfast in a hurry and met Li Zhi at the gate of the palace. Before dawn, she hurriedly went to work.
They took a sedan chair and rushed to Li Jing's mansion outside the city. This was a common practice, and it happened every day when Li Jing was not in court.
The two brothers were surprised to find that Li Jing was not the only one waiting in the study. There was also a white Taoist priest in Taoist robes who was sitting on the futon with his eyes closed, meditating.
"Student Li Zhen (Li Zhi) has met Li Xiang." Li Zhen brothers were full of doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to be rude in front of Li Jing, who had always been serious about words, and hurried forward to see him politely.
"Yeah." Li Jing never liked to say much, so he just responded lightly, waved his hand, and motioned for the two brothers to take their seats. However, he turned sideways, bent down slightly, and looked at the autistic man who was closing his eyes to rest.
Taoist priest Bai said: "Brother, they are here."
Senior brother? Mr. Li actually has a senior brother. Hehe, what is the origin of this veteran? It’s strange. Why have we never heard that Mr. Li has a disciple? Even the unofficial histories of later generations have never mentioned where Mr. Li is.
Who is the person in the family, eh, I have been in this dynasty for so many years, and it seems that no one has ever heard of where Mr. Li’s abilities come from. Ha, it seems that the answer to this mystery should be revealed today. Li Zhen thought to himself
Under the lightning, he looked curiously at the white Taoist priest who had his eyes closed. Unexpectedly, at the same time that Li Zhen looked at the old Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, with a pair of eyes shining with no trace of anything.
The old eyes were dim, but they were as sharp as two sharp swords. It made Li Zhen feel as if she was naked in front of him. His heart suddenly shook, and he hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at the old Taoist priest again.
"Two princes, the poor Taoist Yuan Tiangang is justified." The old Taoist priest's voice was very gentle, but it was very energetic. Just listening to his voice did not sound like an old and frail person at all, but rather like a young scholar.
generally.
Yuan Tiangang? Such a familiar name, well, it’s him, what is he doing here? Li Zhen’s heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered who the old Taoist priest in front of her was - Yuan Tiangang, a man from Chengdu, Yizhou (today’s Sichuan) in the early Tang Dynasty
Chengdu), a good judge of wind and unfavorable experience, was the most famous fortune teller in the early Tang Dynasty, known as Yuan Banxian. There are many records about this person in both official history and unofficial history. According to unofficial history: Wu Meiniang was still in her infancy.
This person then asserted that Wu Meiniang would one day become the emperor.
Compared to Li Zhen's shock, Li Zhi had no reaction at all. He had no idea who the old Taoist priest who called himself Yuan Tiangang was. Seeing Li Jing calling him his senior brother, Li Zhi did not dare to be rude and smiled.
He replied: "The Immortal is so polite. Since the Immortal is the senior brother of the family teacher, Xiao Wang should call the Immortal the Senior Uncle."
"I don't dare, His Highness the King of Jin is too polite. I can't bear the title of uncle." Yuan Tiangang smiled gently and said: "Your Highness, the King of Jin, please take a seat. If you don't mind, I will let the poor Taoist do it for me."
How do you look, Your Highness?"
Li Zhi was not polite at all, and said with a smile: "Uncle, Xiao Wang has your orders, just follow them." As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled and sat down on the chair with his hands down.
Yuan Tiangang smiled and nodded. He looked at Li Zhi's face carefully. He kept making gestures with his right hand and calculated for a while. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I will give you a word for your highness."
, I also ask Your Highness to keep it in mind and never forget it: when encountering Wu Chengxiang or Su encountering difficulties, it is time to cut it off. If Your Highness can pass the test, you will be able to make great progress in the future."
Li Zhi had never known the art of physiognomy, so he didn't take it seriously after hearing this comment. He just thanked him casually, but Li Zhen was different. He knew the general direction of history. When he heard this comment, his heart was pounding.
The ground shook, and his face suddenly turned ugly: When I met Wu Chengxiang, damn, didn’t that word Wu refer to Wu Meiniang? Damn it, wasn’t this old guy sent by Wu Meiniang? No! Wu Meiniang was still a yellow-haired girl at the moment.
There are only a few people in the Tang Dynasty who know his name. No matter how powerful Wu Meiniang is, it is impossible for her to start arranging big plans when she was a child. What's more, this old guy is Li Jing's senior brother. How can ordinary people control him? Damn it, it looks like
This old man really has the ability to predict the future. Well, if Su is in trouble, who is this Su referring to? Li Zhen's mind turned into a mess, and she was lost in thought for a while. Even Yuan Tiangang and him
He didn't even hear the greeting. In the end, Li Zhi secretly pulled Li Zhen out of his sleepwalking state. When he saw the old Taoist priest looking at him with a smile, Li Zhen quickly calmed down, stood up and said respectfully.
: "Little Wang Li Zhen has met the immortal, but I wonder what the immortal can teach me?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled, glanced at Li Zhen, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Seeing that the portrait Yuan Tiangang showed Li Zhi was quite reliable, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, she knew her own affairs best, and Li Zhen was really worried that her identity would be revealed.
This enigmatic old Taoist priest saw through it, but he didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang didn't mean to read Li Zhen's face. He just looked at Li Zhen indifferently and said nothing, which made Li Zhen confused.
, Yuan Tiangang sighed suddenly and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is a destined person, and I have something to give to you." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a small flat package from his arms and handed it to Li Li very carefully.
Zhen.
Li Zhen took the small package inexplicably and opened it. It was an ancient book with a worn cover. The book was not thick, only about ten pages. The text on the cover had long been worn out and could not be read clearly.
Li Zhengang was about to open the book and take a closer look, but Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "This thing belongs to Pindao Master's family. His Highness, the King of Han, will look at it when he has time in the future. Before leaving, Pindao still has something to entrust me with."
Well, what kind of monster is this old man with such a mysterious nose? Li Zhen was filled with doubts, but she still responded respectfully: "Master, if you have something to do, just ask me. As long as Xiao Wang can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
.”
"That's good. In this case, I'll thank His Highness the King of Han in advance." A hint of excitement flashed across Yuan Tiangang's face, and he took a deep breath and said: "I asked myself that my physiognomy is the best in the world, and there is no one who cannot be counted.
, I can’t figure it out for myself, and I can’t do anything about it.” After a pause, he continued: “I may have something to do with His Highness the King of Han in the future. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me.”
What? What on earth is this old man talking about? Damn it, why can’t I understand it? It seems that this old man gives us things just so that we can let him go in the future? Damn, he can’t be so awesome? Li Zhen
There is a ghost in her heart, and she has no peace of mind. Some people believe it, but the many years of atheistic education in her previous life made Li Zhen unable to believe that there is such a thing as fate. Some people were stunned for a while.
, the expression on his face kept changing. After being silent for a long time, he said with determination: "Xiao Wang will definitely obey what the uncle said."
"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Han." As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang immediately let out a sigh of relief as if he had been relieved. He stood up suddenly, glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully and said, "When your heart is thinking, your thoughts will move.
Your Highness, the King of Han, only needs to follow your heart and you will have nothing to worry about." After he finished speaking, he neither opened his mouth to explain nor gave Li Zhen a chance to ask questions. He laughed loudly at Li Jing Yiji, who was sitting silently aside.
He walked away, leaving only the three masters and apprentices who were full of thoughts in the room. A strange atmosphere filled the study room... dd
