Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 276

The three siblings smiled kindly, they could still help with such a small favor.

And after experiencing this battle, Xue Hong has a basic understanding of her skills.Well, it is much stronger than before, but is it necessary to practice this weapon?
In fact, Xue Hong has a preference for muskets in his heart, but the muskets that can be manufactured now have to be reloaded with gunpowder every time a gun is fired. It is okay to carry one on such a musket just in case. Before the gunpowder is ready, I will confess my life first, which is not very practical.

Under the suggestion of the three brothers and sisters of the Bai family, Xue Hong still chose the most popular weapons, sword and dagger, for practice.The sword is the leader of a hundred soldiers, but the set of swordsmanship that Xue Hong chose to practice also comes from space. There are no gorgeous moves when dancing, and it is not beautiful to look at, but it is better to move and control the enemy.As for the practice of the dagger, it must be taught by Bai Diao.

The white sable is good at wielding double short swords, and his research on daggers is also second to none. Xue Hong thought about defeating the enemy, how could he do it with only one sword?If you encounter a place where it is inconvenient to carry a sword, it is better to use a dagger for self-defense.

The reason why Xue Hong was able to get Bai Diao's advice was because Bai Shi and Bai Yunbao were about to go back to the outside of the pass, leaving Bai Diao to stay in Xue's mansion, only waiting for Xue Pan to come back to help Xue's caravan Deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Before the two brothers of the Bai family left, Xue Yite called them over and gave them a document: "This is from the Minister of State and Internal Affairs. With this document, the vice capital of Jilin can borrow one thousand soldiers. If Bai Grandpa is in danger, you might as well give it a try."

"This document..."

Who else can mobilize troops and horses at will outside the pass?What is written here is simply self-evident.

Xue Yi nodded, confirming Bai Shi's suspicion.Bai Shi sighed in his heart. Because Xue Yi didn't say anything clearly, it was difficult for him to even thank him, so he had to carefully put away these pieces of paper.

"Although it is very dangerous to go here, I believe in Mr. Bai's ability. But, what is the result? Remember to use Haidongqing to contact me when the time comes, so that I can rest assured. As for Miss Bai, she stays in my house You will definitely receive the best care, you brothers can rest assured."

After Baishi and Baiyunbao heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, so they clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you, Master Xue."

On the same day, the two brothers rushed to the outside of the pass with the troops they had brought.As for the outcome of this trip, I will tell you later.

Now I only talk about Xue Hong, Bai Diao taught him how to practice daggers, and they also practiced this swordsmanship together.So Xue Hong simply stopped hiding in the space to practice these two weapons. He always brought all the weapons with him when he lived in Jia's house on weekdays. If he went home, he would always ask Bai Diao for pointers.

But when Li Zhixing saw him, he called Xue Hong to his side and asked carefully: "Ji Lan, my teacher sees that you have been obsessed with martial arts recently, but do you want to take the martial arts exam like Feng Ziying?"

Xue Hong smiled: "Sir, you are worrying too much, Ji Lan doesn't have such thoughts."

"Then you are...?"

"Sir, how many generations do you think the family can pass on?"

"This... as the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. It is also said that climbing a height is heavier than falling. Which old poet and book family dares to say that their home will be safe forever?"

Xue Hong said with a smile: "Mr. is sensible, that's exactly what he said. Although I am looking for a way to become an official through the imperial examination, it is the right way, but the imperial court is dominated by the Mongolian nobles after all. How can the Hanchen be so easy to stand? The ancestors were willing to use Hanchen again, but are there few examples of Hanchen who were excluded, framed and killed? So I thought, can you take the imperial examination and serve in the army at the same time? Although this will disperse your energy, if you can do both , naturally can have a good future..."

Xue Hong said while carefully observing Li Zhixing's reaction.After hearing this, Li Zhixing fell into silence for a long time.

To be honest, Xue Hong was inspired by Nian Gengyao's idea of ​​both civil and martial arts.As we all know, Nian Gengyao was a Jinshi on the same list as Zhang Tingyu, and his ranking was still ahead of Zhang Tingyu.Only such talents with both civil and military skills will definitely be reused, and now Xue Hong wants the Xue family to produce a favorite minister who is deeply loved by the emperor, so that at least the next two or three generations of the Xue family can be guaranteed wealth, as for what will happen in the future , he didn't care about that much anymore.

After all, the Xue family is an imperial businessman. As long as it is related to the word "business", it will be difficult to get ahead, let alone occupy a place in the court.

After a long time, Li Zhixing nodded: "It's a good idea for you to honor your ancestors first and seek a future for your family. Yes, Han officials will not stand in the court without merit, and your path of both civil and military cultivation is not a bad idea. Think back to those days. Isn't this Rong Ning's Second Mansion also the result of two grandfathers being beaten off horseback by their family? But... this has a drawback. How can you take care of both? If your scientific examination is delayed because of serving in the army. But so what? Moreover, even if you become such an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, what confidence do you have that your Xue family will be prosperous for several generations?"

Xue Hong smiled again: "I am determined to cultivate both civil and military skills, because in this way I can rely on my true ability to become an official and stand more firmly in the court, but I have no intention of becoming a frontier official. The higher the official is, the better he will be. In line with the saying, "The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." I just want to be a minister who is useful to the emperor and not very powerful. It doesn't have to be a high-ranking official or a generous salary, as long as I Just educate your family’s children and grandchildren well so that there will be successors.”

Li Zhixing nodded: "It's okay if you say so. Although I haven't been an official for a long time, I have been used to the ups and downs of the officialdom for so many years. If you have this kind of heart, you won't cause any big trouble to the Xue family. .

Remember, no matter what level of official you become in the future, this world is ultimately the emperor's world, no matter how powerful you are, your own life and death are in the hands of the emperor.This is the teacher's words, you just remember. "

"Yes, the students will remember the teacher's teachings."

"Well. If that's the case, you can go ahead and do it. As long as you can keep your heart, it's good. It's just an ugly word for the teacher. If there is a day when you lose your heart in the future, don't talk about your homework. I taught it, and I am afraid of being implicated."

Xue Hong was stunned for a moment, but when she saw the sparkle in Li Zhixing's eyes, she felt a shock in her heart, so she lowered her head and said, "I really dare not forget."

Since then, Xue Hong's idea has also been fully supported by Xue Yi and Xue Wang, and he himself has become even busier.

Living in the Rongguo Mansion, I followed Li Zhixing to class, and after finishing my homework, I had to practice martial arts. At any rate, there was enough aura in the space and the flow of time several times faster than the daily space, so that Xue Hong could perfectly balance these two.
