Dajin royal family

Chapter 2 Cultivation and Outings

The night of this era is quiet, which can be described as silent.

In the bedroom, Jiang Chengxiao knelt by the desk, and the incense burner on the table, Uncle Mai, added some soothing spices, and the green smoke slowly rose.

There are all kinds of military books on the desk, such as Sun Wu's Art of War, Wei Liaozi, Sima's Method, Zhuge Bing, Long Xiangzi and so on.

This predecessor seems to be quite interested in the Art of War, and there are many annotations and detailed explanations in these books.

It's a pity that before he could show his talents and contribute to the country, he was already dead.This shows how important a healthy body is.

Picking up the pen, he casually sketched and circled on the paper, and then lost interest.

An otaku can save a lot of trouble, but it is also boring, especially since he has to rest after dinner, even though he himself is not sleepy.

He took out a piece of paper from the table and laid it flat, picked up a pen, and wrote: literacy, exercise, etiquette.

Although there are similarities between the ancient Chinese and the modern Chinese he understands, he doesn't quite understand the "sentence sentence".

Naturally, exercising is to make oneself have a healthy body. The quality of this body is really not very good, and it makes people out of breath after moving a few steps.

As for etiquette, one must understand it. As the heir of the acting prince, he is often invited by the royal family to attend ceremonies. If he doesn't understand etiquette, he will be very passive.

But he is already very satisfied, the original owner is an unknown acting prince, who can save him a lot of trouble.

Although he doesn't like the "poisonous chicken soup" that "if it comes, it will be safe", but in the current situation, he can only talk about it for comfort.

He can't go back anymore, and now he can only let himself live well in this era.

"Jiang Chengxiao, your name is quite domineering in modern times..."

He smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I will live as you."

For the next three months, he stayed at home, exercising in the yard every day at sunrise, learning ancient Chinese at noon, and asking for etiquette at sunset.

Dai Wang's Mansion has a dedicated teacher and a female officer in charge of etiquette, and he learns it very quickly and conveniently.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was April, and the grass grew and the warblers flew to the spring to warm the earth.

In the Martial Arts Hall of the Prince's Mansion.

The area of ​​the Martial Arts Hall is really not small. According to Jiang Chengxiao's estimate, it may be the size of a football field.Peeping the leopard in the tube, we can know how big the entire Daiwang Mansion is.

At this moment, there are [-] or [-] warriors in military uniforms in the Martial Arts Hall. On the surface, these people are sons of the king and given the surname "Jiang", but they are actually domestic slaves.

These people formed a circle, and a young man in the circle was wearing a black and silver-lined military uniform, and was gaiting.

Uncle Mai held a clean white cloth in his hand and watched the teenagers in the arena.

Jiang Chengxiao's exercise method is simple to say, he runs around the martial arts hall every day, horse gait for two hours, and then learns some boxing and kicking skills from the martial arts master in Fuzhong.

His body has already passed the best time to learn martial arts, and now he can only learn some simple kung fu for self-defense.In addition, he has to learn horse riding, archery and so on every day.

He has to dabble in the so-called six arts of a gentleman in ancient times.

After the horse stance, Uncle Mai immediately went up and handed the white cloth.

The house slaves in the arena all relaxed, even the martial arts instructors heaved a sigh of relief.

The prince's health has always been poor, and he was really afraid that he would faint suddenly when he was striding forward.

"Lang Jun is getting stronger and stronger." Uncle Mai praised with a smile.

Compared with three months ago, the current Jiang Chengxiao is not the kind of weak scholar. Although he does not have the force to kill a cow with a single punch, his physical fitness is beyond ordinary people.

After all, Dai Wang's family has a great career, and the traditional Chinese medicine for him to practice martial arts has never been cut off, and his physical fitness is getting better day by day.

Wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Chengxiao looked indifferent. He practiced martial arts not for the praise of his servants, but for his own body.

At this moment, a servant came to report: "My lord, the young master of Shunguo's mansion is here."

Duke Shun...

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, and said, "Brother Gongde, please have tea in the living room while I change my clothes."

"Yes." The servant took the order and went.

Afterwards, Jiang Chengxiao waved to a house slave in the field, and that person immediately stepped forward, "My lord."

"Shenju, you go to prepare the horse, bring a few good men, and wait for me in front of the door."

"Yes." Shenju picked out some athletes in the field and led them down.

Uncle Mai said, "Your Majesty is going out?"

"Ah."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded and said: "Brother Gongde has invited me to travel several times, and I may hurt the peace of the two families by refusing repeatedly."

The brother Gongde he was talking about was the Dalang of the Duke of Shunguo, and also his future uncle.

During this period of time, he has basically figured out the interpersonal relationship of "Jiang Chengxiao". There are not many good friends, but there are one or two.

This Yuchi Gongde was one of them, the fathers of the two families were close friends in the army, and naturally, their sons, daughters and relatives were indispensable.

Before he was born, his father made a marriage agreement with the Duke of Shunguo on behalf of the king.

In the side hall, a burly man with a hulking back and waist was kneeling on the couch, with two attendants behind him standing with their hands behind their backs.

Jiang Chengxiao changed into a black suit, walked into the side hall, saw the big man, and cupped his hands: "Brother Gongde."

Yu Chijing stood up, walked to Jiang Chengxiao's side, laughed, and said: "I heard that the servant in the mansion said that Da Lang has been recuperating his body recently. When I saw him today, Da Lang's face was rosy and his complexion was smooth. He must be in better health."

Jiang Chengxiao stretched out his hand and asked Yu Chijing to sit down, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Brother Gongde, please worry about me, I'm already in better health."

It was also the first time he saw this Yu Chijing, but he was nine feet tall and his complexion was dark, he knew at a glance that he was a Lianjiazi.

The two had a good relationship and said some personal things.

Yuchi Jing said: "A few days ago, Sanniang was still blaming me. She sent me here to avoid suspicion of your serious illness, so she sent me here. Dalang also knows that the Jinwu Guard's duty can't leave for a while, so he wanted to invite Dalang out for a visit. But I don’t want Da Lang to recuperate his body. Seeing Da Lang’s health is much better today, I feel at ease.”

Yu Chijing said that Sanniang was his fiancée wife. Although the two had never met, they didn't want that one, but they cared about his safety.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled, and said: "Lao Sanniang is thinking about it, brother Gongde, please let me know when I get back, I am fine, so don't worry about Sanniang."

Yuchi Jing said: "Naturally, San Niang is busy mending the wedding dress these days. When Father and His Royal Highness return from the border, Da Lang can do the crowning ceremony, then you two can get married."

Dajin men reach the age of [-] and crown adulthood, and then they are "adults".

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, but murmured in his heart, that Yuchi Sanniang was probably around 15 years old, and he was going to marry a "little loli"?
It's just that he can't refuse this matter, the order of his parents and the words of a matchmaker.

"Since Dalang is in better health, why don't you go hunting today?" Yu Chijing invited.

After a little thought, Jiang Chengxiao agreed to Yu Chijing's invitation, and then the two of them took Qi's servants and set off to leave the palace together.

Entertainment in this era is relatively scarce, and there are not many entertainments for nobles, either listening to music, or admiring dancers, and hunting is quite interesting.

Of course, for some second-generation playboys, they prefer to fight chickens and lackeys in the city and bully good families.

A group of people rode horses and came to the Baqiao outside Chang'an City.

Apart from the two of them going hunting this time, there were also some other noble children.For example, the two lords of Bingguo's mansion, the two lords of Xu Guogong's mansion, and some other powerful children.

Basically, those who can hang out in their circle are the sons of nobles.

The large army gathered together, there were more than 100 people, and the young men in the lead were all dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and they were extremely luxurious.

Pedestrians from other places avoided one after another, and the discerning people knew at a glance that these were some masters who were not easy to mess with.

Jiang Chengxiao followed the large army, driving the pony in a leisurely manner, and on the left and right were the guards of the slaves of the Daiwangfu.

He can ride a horse a little, but he is not a good player. After all, he is very satisfied to be able to ride a horse for three months.In this era, there were no stirrups, and the horse's belly could only be clamped by the legs to stabilize the body.

But don't clamp it too tightly, otherwise the horse will think you are going to speed up and run very fast.

"Is Da Lang feeling better?" A young man approached Jiang Chengxiao on a horse.

The person who came was Li Jishi, the eldest son of Bingguo Gongfu.

Before that, several noble children came to ask him about his health, and he smiled lightly, "It's much better, isn't it time to go hunting today?"

"Can you draw a bow?" A young man next to Li Jishi asked him.

Hearing this, Li Jishi frowned and said, "Second Brother, don't talk nonsense."

Immediately apologizing to Jiang Chengxiao: "Don't blame Dalang, the second brother has been out of temper since he was a child, and he doesn't know the situation."

He asked Jiang Chengxiao's physical condition only verbally, but he didn't mean to humiliate Jiang Chengxiao.In their circle, basically everyone has heard about Jiang Chengxiao's poor health.

Although Jiang Chengxiao's face is rosy today, but if he wants to "open the bow", he may not be able to do it.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled, and said: "How could it be, Brother An Min is a man of temperament, and he is quite like a duke of the country."

Li Anmin asked curiously: "Your Majesty also knows my father?"

Jiang Chengxiao said: "When Lord Bing followed the late emperor to conquer Southern Chen, he angrily beheaded the Empress Chen's two demon concubines. Everyone in the court has heard about this incident. The late emperor also praised Duke Bing for his loyal ministers and the pillars of the country."

Hearing this, Li Jishi and Li Anmin both looked proud, and when the son heard others praise Lao Tzu, their faces were naturally radiant.

Jiang Chengxiao glanced at the Li brothers, and said silently in his heart: It's interesting to help the world and the people.
