After Black Moonlight failed to escape [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 253: Early Growth (2)
Since Jiang Xianwen heard that their team set off, the courses of the Fourth Prince and Jiang Chiqiu also temporarily stopped.The reason is very simple - at this moment, the palace is in chaos.
Today's Holy Majesty is notoriously extravagant.
When Jiang Chiqiu went back to his grandfather's house, he had seen the scene where the emperor expropriated beautiful women.After so many years, the Holy Majesty still has no intention of stopping.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu had already heard gossip from the people in Baofan City - they said that despite the grandeur of the imperial palace, there might not be enough room in the palace at this time.
Although these are all exaggerated claims behind the scenes, Jiang Chiqiu feels that the truth is not much different...
As the prince's accompanying student, Jiang Chiqiu can naturally carry out activities in specific areas in the palace.
After so many years, Jiang Chiqiu has long discovered that the number of concubines in the palace is increasing.And at this time, the prince's ranking has already listed more than 20 people.
In the eyes of some people in this dynasty, this may be a symbol of flourishing offspring.But now these twenty princes, the concubine mother behind them and the forces represented by the concubine mother have become a big trouble.
In Xuejun's battle, most people believed that Mu Chao would definitely win.Therefore, although the generals have been assigned early.But there are still many princes in the royal family who want to win a chance to play.
Naturally, these princes also want to lead the army and contribute to the country, but what they want more is military merit.
Although many people have seen this point, the prince is a prince after all, and no one in the court dared to reveal this point.
Jiang Chiqiu is the fourth prince's accompanying student. He is only in his teens now. Although he is envious of military achievements, he is not yet old enough.This time, the main contenders for this opportunity were the three princes in front.
Although this matter had no direct relationship with Jiang Chiqiu and the fourth prince, their classes were temporarily suspended.
The emperor himself didn't even want to pay attention to the government, let alone the "small fights" of several princes.
Therefore, although he knew about it, he didn't intend to intervene at all. Instead, he pretended to be watching a show, waiting for the outcome of the fight in the harem.
Now that the harem has been disrupted by the three princes' mothers and concubines and the forces behind them, no one has the intention to study hard in a short time.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Chiqiu temporarily stayed here at Zhufengguan.
——Now the person who is in charge of Zhufengguan has already known tomorrow, maybe the national teacher no longer has any requirements, and Jiang Chiqiu, who lives here again, no longer needs to get up early and drink clean in one breath as he did when he was a child Those extremely bitter soups.
In contrast to the gradually intensive schoolwork at the palace, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly found that the life in Zhufeng Guan was really comfortable enough...
It is midsummer at this time, and it rains most often in this season near Baofan City.
On the second day after Jiang Chiqiu came to Zhufeng Temple, there was heavy rain falling from the sky.
Jiang Chiqiu himself wanted to sleep for a while this morning, but the sound insulation of the wooden structure house in Zhufeng Temple is not very good.So early in the morning when it was just dawn, Jiang Chiqiu was already awakened by the sound of rain outside the window.
Although Jiang Chiqiu really wanted to sleep in again, his career in the palace for the past few years had made him used to going to bed early and getting up early.
According to the usual living habits, this is almost Jiang Chiqiu's waking time.
Therefore, after being awakened by the sound of rain, Jiang Chiqiu did not go back to sleep, but got up to wash up, changed his clothes and opened the window.
In the past few years, Jiang Chiqiu had no chance to live in Zhufeng Temple like he did when he was a child, but because he would come here occasionally, a room was reserved for him in Zhufeng Temple.
Now Jiang Chiqiu lives in his own room.
Jiang Chiqiu liked the smell outside when it was raining. He opened the window to let the air in.But he didn't expect that as soon as the window was opened, Jiang Chiqiu saw a familiar figure appearing on the other side of the window.
That man is known tomorrow, and his room is opposite Jiang Chiqiu.
The buildings of Zhufeng Temple are built against the mountain, and the structure of the houses here is not as regular as that of the imperial palace.
Although the residences of Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi were not built next to each other, and there was even a small pool of water between them, they could still see each other after opening the window.
Suddenly seeing Ming Zhouzhi appearing in front of his eyes, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but froze for a moment.
Unlike Jiang Chiqiu who was still a child, Ming Zhouzhi, who was eight years older than Jiang Chiqiu, was already an adult.
Although Jiang Hexia no longer called Ming Zhouzhi "beauty" like he did when he was a child, but in Jiang Chiqiu's eyes, Ming Zhouzhi now has more temperament than when he was a teenager.
The most prominent point is that Ming Zhouzhi's sense of oppression caused by his long-term superiority is already obvious.
Even though he only met Ming Zhouzhi yesterday, at the moment when he opened the window and suddenly saw him, Jiang Chiqiu felt that the man in front of him was a little strange at this moment.
"Chi Qiu..." The person standing opposite called Jiang Chiqiu, and then he suddenly smiled and said, "Why did you wake up so early?"
The name "Jiang Chiqiu" can only be called by the Jiang family, but the existence of this name is not a secret.Friends who are familiar with Jiang Chiqiu all know what his real name is.
I don't know when it started, but Ming Zhouzhi, like Jiang Chiqiu's family, called him by his real name.
After opening his mouth to speak, Ming Zhouzhi's feeling of repelling others from thousands of miles away suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the familiar appearance of Jiang Chiqiu.
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, he slightly raised his volume and said to Ming Zhouzhi: "It's raining today, and the noise is so loud that I'm a little upset, so I suddenly couldn't fall asleep."
As if catering to Jiang Chiqiu's words, at the same time Jiang Chiqiu opened his mouth, the sound of the rain around him became louder again.Jiang Chiqiu's originally complete sentence was suddenly shattered by the sound of rain.
Jiang Chiqiu didn't know if Ming Zhouzhi, who was separated from him by a small pool of water, had heard what he just said clearly.
The rain curtain called Jiang Chiqiu's vision blurred, and he vaguely saw Ming Zhouzhi standing by the window over there suddenly leaving his previous position.
After a while, Ming Zhouzhi, who was still dressed in white, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chiqiu holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Jiang Chiqiu smiled when he saw Ming Zhouzhi stopped in front of his window, and said to himself: "Since the rain is loud and disturbing, why don't Chi Qiu come and listen to me play the piano?"
This is what Jiang Chiqiu was waiting for!
Although the entertainment activities in this world are much richer than the first world Jiang Chiqiu visited.
But this place is still ancient after all, and people's entertainment activities in this era are very limited.But in the Jiang family, where the family rules are extremely strict, Jiang Chiqiu can choose even fewer entertainment activities.
Listening to someone play the piano is something Jiang Chiqiu can rarely choose, and it is also his favorite among the few things he can choose.
After hearing Ming Zhouzhi's words, Jiang Chiqiu did not hesitate. He also turned around and picked up the oil-paper umbrella that was put aside, and then quickly walked out of the room and into the outdoor rain curtain.
The sound of rain in Jiang Chiqiu's ears became louder. The moment he approached Ming Zhouzhi, Jiang Chiqiu naturally closed the paper umbrella in his hand, and the next moment he got under Ming Zhouzhi's paper umbrella.
Jiang Chiqiu has been in this world for more than five years and nearly six years. He feels that the most important skill he has learned after living in this world for so many years is to pretend to be childish.
For example, Jiang Chiqiu is now able to complete the task of getting under other people's umbrellas without any burden in his heart.
And Ming Zhouzhi seems to have gotten used to it.
Jiang Chiqiu is only about 12 years old now, and his height only reaches Ming Zhouzhi's shoulders.
So after getting under someone else's paper umbrella, Jiang Chiqiu took his hand back with peace of mind and asked Ming Zhouzhi to hold the umbrella for him.
——Jiang Chiqiu is indeed completely familiar with the people of Zhufengguan.
You must know that in the past few years, Ming Wuzhi's prestige among the people has become higher and higher.In the past few years, the state teacher's health has been poor, Ming Zhouzhi has done a lot of important work on his behalf, for example, the previous year's Muqiu Grand Ceremony was presided over by Ming Zhouzhi.
And such an extremely sacred Ming Zhouzhi in the hearts of the people, people would never think that he would hold an umbrella for a teenage child.
After walking two steps, Jiang Chiqiu asked Ming Zhouzhi, "Where are you going to play the piano?"
Ming Zhouzhi lightly pointed to a small pavilion not far away, "It's right here," he said after thinking about it.
The Zhufengguan house has been built for decades. The selection of wood here is very special, and it took a long time to design before the construction.
So after it rains, there is no standing water, and even the floor doesn't slip or creak when you walk on it.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi entered the pavilion together.
Jiang Chiqiu saw that there was a black guqin in the middle of the pavilion, and beside the guqin were a few books that had not been read and were detained here at some time.
Even though Jiang Chiqiu temporarily stayed here at Zhufeng Temple, even Ming Zhouzhi had already done a fortune telling for his brother.
But after all his elder brother really went to the battlefield, Jiang Chiqiu still felt a little worried in his heart.
So after seeing that Jiang Chiqiu was no longer in a relaxed state as usual, Ming Zhouzhi entered the pavilion and adjusted the strings a little before suddenly changing the topic.
"I remember when you were young, Chi Qiu, you said that the things you want to do the most in the future are playing the piano and drinking tea." Ming Zhouzhi said suddenly.
After hearing Ming Zhouzhi's words, Jiang Chiqiu was stunned for a while.
When did you say such a thing?Isn't this wish too boring?
Jiang Chiqiu's memory is very good, and after a pause for a few seconds, he immediately realized - when his brother and the prince came to Zhufeng Temple, they talked about their ambitions, and at that time, he seemed to make it up like this with.
"Is there such a thing?" Although Jiang Chiqiu had already remembered it, he still pretended that it didn't happen.
Jiang Chiqiu asked a rhetorical question first, and then glanced at Ming Zhouzhi in confusion.
Apparently Ming Zhouzhi didn't let Jiang Chiqiu go like this, and he didn't mean to let go of this topic.
The man smiled, nodded to Jiang Chiqiu and said, "Yes, I wonder if Chi Qiu has learned to play the piano now?"
Jiang Chiqiu naturally wouldn't.
When Jiang Chiqiu came to this world, he mistakenly took this mission world as a place for leisure and relaxation.Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu's goal in the beginning was just to be a salted fish.
And later, when he suddenly knew that this was a mission world, Jiang Chiqiu didn't dare to waste his time anymore.
So about five years ago, Jiang Shangshu was suddenly very pleased to find that his youngest son changed his attitude of not paying much attention to everything and learning everything. learned to learn.
Jiang Chiqiu didn't know what would happen in this world in the future, and the system didn't intend to give Jiang Chiqiu any spoilers in the past few years.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu, who was worried that he would not be able to complete the task well, seized all the time to study seriously in the past few years.
At this time, Jiang Chiqiu is already a well-known young talent in Damu, but Jiang Chiqiu has been working hard to learn "knowledge useful for the future" these years, and has temporarily left things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting behind.
"Uh..." Jiang Chiqiu hesitated for a while, and finally said truthfully, "I won't..."
After hearing the other party's answer, Ming Zhouzhi smiled, he stopped talking and started playing the tune.
Most of Mu Chao's popular songs have a slow rhythm, and Jiang Chiqiu always wants to sleep after listening to them.But the song Ming Zhouzhi is playing now is completely different. This song is called "Snow Melting", which describes the scene of melting ice and snow in early spring.
Therefore, the rhythm of Melting Snow's song is also very rarely cheerful.
Ming Zhouzhi played the piece quickly, not Jiang Chiqiu lamenting - he has listened to countless interpretations by famous artists in the past few years, and still thinks that Ming Zhouzhi plays this piece the best.
"Next song..." Just when Jiang Chiqiu was about to "order a song", he saw the man sitting opposite him suddenly stand up.
Ming Wuzhi walked to Jiang Chiqiu's side, and then said to him: "Since you remembered your childhood wish, why not take this opportunity to learn how to melt snow with me."
"Wait..." Although Jiang Chiqiu has now become a well-known good student of Mu Chao, he is forced to do nothing!
Jiang Chiqiu himself divides this time into his own rest time. In his opinion, rest time cannot be "wasted" on learning things.
However, Jiang Chiqiu is much lower than Ming Zhou Zhi, and now he has no way to escape from Ming Zhou Zhi's clutches.
Before Jiang Chiqiu could think up the words to reject and say it out, he was already slipped by Ming Zhou Zhiti and sat in front of the piano...
"I don't think I have the talent in this area." Jiang Chiqiu said rejection all over his face.
Hearing this, Ming Zhouzhi shook his head in disapproval, and said to Jiang Chiqiu, "If you don't try it, how can you know if you have talent?"
Jiang Chiqiu still wanted to struggle again, "But playing the piano is all about the basic skills. I haven't learned anything before. If I want to learn it now, I can only start from the most basic. When the battle of Xuejun is over, I'm afraid They can't even melt snow."
"It's okay." Jiang Chiqiu heard a terrible sentence from Ming Zhou Zhi's mouth, "I don't expect you to become a master. I will teach you this piece directly, and you can memorize everything I teach." I see that Chi Qiu you also like this piece very much, why don't you learn it directly."
Good guy!Tomorrow knew that it was going to be done to encourage the growth of seedlings.
Ming Zhouzhi of Zhufeng Guan asked for a lecture on his own initiative, and if Jiang Chiqiu finds a reason to refuse, it seems that he will not give the other party some face.
So at the next moment, the slowed down first line of "Snow Melt" flowed out from the guqin in Ming Zhouzhi's hands.
Ming Zhouzhi's piano skills are really good, after this short sentence, Jiang Chiqiu was immediately immersed in the atmosphere of the music.But before Jiang Chiqiu enjoyed listening to the whole passage, he heard the song cut off in his ears, and then Ming Zhouzhi's cruel words appeared in Jiang Chiqiu's ears.
"That's it, imitate it again."
Jiang Chiqiu: "..."
What should I do if I still want to refuse?
As everyone expected before, the battle of Xuejun did not last long.
On the fourth day after the army arrived in Xuejun, the rebellion was resolved very smoothly, and another day later, Zhufeng Temple received a good news.
Zhufengguan has always been an image of avoiding the world and fighting in the hearts of the people, but as the residence of the national teacher, the news here is also very well-informed.So even though Jiang Chiqiu was not at home or in the palace, Jiang Chiqiu was one of the first people to hear the news.
"Xuejun won a big victory, and the leader of the rebel army was beheaded by Jiang Xianwen."
Jiang Chiqiu repeated the battle report that Ming Zhouzhi had just told him, but when he repeated this sentence, his expression was completely different from what Ming Zhouzhi had expected before.
Ming Zhou knew that Jiang Chiqiu would be very happy when he heard the news that his brother had won a big victory.
But he didn't expect that after reading this sentence, Jiang Chiqiu pursed his lips lightly, looking very serious.
"Chi Qiu, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Ming Zhouzhi, who wanted to have two more rounds of jokes with Jiang Chiqiu, took advantage of the situation and sat beside Jiang Chiqiu.
The young man shook his head slowly. After being silent for a while, he finally spoke.
——Jiang Chiqiu is not an aborigine in this world, and has pessimistic predictions about the development of this era.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu often has some "rebellious" thoughts popping up.
If it were in normal times, he would never dare to tell the people around him.
But now, when facing Ming Zhouzhi, Jiang Chiqiu hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I'm just a little worried about brother."
Did Ming Zhou know that Jiang Chi Qiu's answer would be this.
"Why do you think this way? The battle in Xuejun has already been won, and Jiang Xianwen heard that they are on their way back to Baofan City."
Although the rain today was not as heavy as the day when Jiang Chiqiu learned to play the piano on a sudden whim, it still rained non-stop outside the window.
Jiang Chiqiu felt a little irritable, he walked forward slowly and stood by the window.
After blowing the cold wind, Jiang Chiqiu said to Ming Zhouzhi: "This is just a battle in Xuejun. My brother has achieved good results in this battle. Will he be sent to other places in the future? , continue to lead the army to fight... What should we do if the current situation is more complicated than the battle in Xuejun at that time?"
After saying this sentence, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly turned around and looked into Ming Zhouzhi's eyes.
Did Ming Zhou know that what Jiang Chi Qiu was going to say would be such a sentence.
Hearing what Jiang Chiqiu said, Ming Zhouzhi's first reaction was - fortunately, Jiang Chiqiu said this to himself.If other people heard it, Jiang Chiqiu's words would definitely harm himself, and even the entire Jiang family.
Although many people were not optimistic about the future situation at this time, everyone kept silent tacitly, and buried their rebellious guesses deep in their minds.
But Jiang Chiqiu actually told Ming Zhouzhi just like that.
Didn't Jiang Chiqiu's words clearly tell others that he thinks there will be an era of dogfights in the future?
But Ming Zhouzhi didn't think much about it, he was more shocked that Jiang Chiqiu, as an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, would think of such a faraway thing.
This is an angle that Ming Zhouzhi had never thought of before.
——Jiang Chiqiu's elder brother Jiang Xianwen won the battle, and even performed very well.
According to Mu Dynasty's habits and the emperor's temperament, he will naturally be reused in the future.No one can tell what kind of situation Jiang Xianwen will face afterwards.
Ming Wuzhi took a step forward instinctively. He patted Jiang Chiqiu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, since Jiang Xianwen has chosen such a path, he has already made all the preparations. You, as his Brother, you should be even more proud of him."
After the man finished speaking, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly asked about the system he hadn't contacted for a long time.
【Is Mu Chao dying? ] Jiang Chiqiu asked.
This time it was rare for the system not to be perfunctory with Jiang Chiqiu, it replied directly: [Yes. 】
So Ming Zhouzhi saw that after listening to what he said, Jiang Chiqiu did not become more relaxed.
Seeing this, Ming Wuzhi suddenly asked Jiang Chiqiu, "Chi Qiu doesn't like fighting?"
"I don't like it..." Jiang Chiqiu answered very simply.
From Ming Zhouzhi's point of view, sometimes Jiang Chiqiu doesn't look like a noble boy of this era at all.Although he looked a little coquettish occasionally, he was not the kind of young master who didn't know the sufferings of the world.
And this kind of Jiang Chiqiu made Ming Zhouzhi think of the scene he saw when he calculated it before.
If what he saw and thought was true, why did Jiang Chiqiu go down that road?
The victory in the battle of Xuejun undoubtedly inspired the entire empire.
At the same time that Jiang Xianwen and his party hurried back to Baofan City, the emperor couldn't wait to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the event.
This time, both Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi were invited, but because of their different status, they were still asked to sit in two seats far away from each other.
After taking his seat, Ming Zhou Zhi subconsciously looked at where Jiang Chi Qiu was.
At this time, the detailed battle report has been sent back to the capital, and everyone knows the outstanding performance of the eldest son of the Jiang family in this battle.
Therefore, the Jiang family, which itself enjoys great honor, is even more prosperous today than before.
Almost everyone who came to the banquet had to say hello to Jiang Shangshu first.At the same time, the wife sitting next to Jiang Shangshu seemed to be in better spirits because of this incident, let alone Jiang Hexia who had the word "excited" written on her face.
In short, although the current Jiang Chiqiu is trying his best to blend into the joyful atmosphere, he still has a feeling of being out of place with the surrounding environment.
Although many people present noticed this, few people really cared about it.
In the eyes of those who noticed Jiang Chiqiu's abnormality, he might just be a little jealous of his brother.
After a while, the banquet is about to begin.
Suddenly, a piece of music rang in Jiang Chiqiu's ears, and at the same time the emperor finally walked out accompanied by several concubines.
In all fairness, the members of the royal family have undergone genetic modification of the appearance of beautiful concubines generation after generation. Looking at the appearance alone, they definitely have nothing to do with the word "ugly".
But the man in front of him obviously looked like his body had been hollowed out by wine and meat.
The man looked to be in his 40s, with a thin body and a bit of apathetic spirit.
When Jiang Chiqiu came to the palace a few years ago, he often saw each other.However, in recent years, the emperor, who cared less and less about the princes' studies, almost stopped visiting them and asking them questions about their homework.
So after careful calculation, Jiang Chiqiu hadn't seen the emperor of this dynasty for a long time.
In addition to clearly feeling that the other party had become old, Jiang Chiqiu also saw that the emperor's eyes were very cloudy, as if he had drunk a lot of wine just now.
Jiang Chiqiu only glanced at the other party, then he couldn't help but lower his head and smile coldly.
At this time, in the entire banquet hall, only Ming Zhouzhi, who was looking at Jiang Chiqiu not far away, and Jiang Hexia, who was standing beside Jiang Chiqiu, noticed his expression.
Unlike Ming Wuzhi who had already expected it, Jiang Hexia was startled by Jiang Chiqiu's sneer.
The girl quickly stepped forward when no one noticed, she blocked Jiang Chiqiu a bit and said, "Chiqiu, what are you doing?"
Realizing that he should hide his emotions, Jiang Chiqiu quickly raised his head and switched expressions, saying, "It's nothing..."
Seeing that Jiang Chiqiu didn't want to talk, Jiang Hexia didn't talk to him anymore, but left the words "be careful".
After Jiang Hexia's reminder, Jiang Chiqiu finally hid his emotions.
This banquet was extremely extravagant. Logically speaking, Jiang Chiqiu, as the young son of the Jiang family, should have seen all kinds of big scenes.
But after the banquet started, he discovered that many of the ingredients in this banquet were never seen before.
If Jiang Chiqiu's memory is correct, Mu Chao's famine in recent years has not improved.Even at the beginning of this year... a large number of hungry people have fled to Baofan City.
Jiang Chiqiu has been living in this world for many years, subconsciously he has become a person in this world.
Jiang Chiqiu couldn't treat everyone in this world as paper people, so when he saw the food on his table and thought of the hungry people he saw a few months ago, Jiang Chiqiu's heart became more and more heavy.
When the banquet was held, the people who went to Xuejun had not yet returned.
Therefore, the protagonists of the banquet were the Jiang family and the second prince's mother and concubine who went to Xuejun together this time.
Not long after the banquet was held, the emperor started the rewarding session.
Jiang Chiqiu was not interested in this kind of activity, but when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Shang Shufu, Jiang Danxue."
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his head, his father's deliberately lowered voice came from his ears.
"Come forward to receive the reward..." Jiang Shangshu whispered in Jiang Chiqiu's ear.
After hearing his father's words, Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly left his seat even though he hadn't figured out what happened here.
The boy quickly stood in the middle of the banquet venue as his father said, and made a big salute to the man on the high platform.
Although Jiang Chiqiu's movements were a bit slow, there was nothing wrong with that, but luckily the man was drinking at this time, so he didn't pay attention to Jiang Chiqiu.
After seeing Jiang Chiqiu bowing to him, the man in the golden robe sitting on the high platform just glanced at Jiang Chiqiu indifferently, and then said to him casually: "Get up..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." In the eyes of those who are familiar with Jiang Chiqiu, Jiang Chiqiu's personality is a little loose.But after all, he has been in the palace for so many years, there is no problem in saluting.
Jiang Chiqiu's appearance is extremely good-looking. When he was young, he was a cute little dumpling, but now he is a delicate and elegant noble boy.
Seeing Jiang Chiqiu's actions, many people cast amazed and appreciative glances at him.
The emperor of the Mu dynasty liked gorgeous and beautiful things the most. Although Jiang Chiqiu did nothing, it was obvious that the young man's appearance and elegant etiquette won the emperor's favor.When he thought that Jiang Chiqiu was the young master of the Jiang family, and that Jiang Xianwen, who had shared his worries for him just now, was his own brother, the emperor's mood instantly brightened.
Seeing that the emperor wanted to reward Jiang Chiqiu with a jade pendant, he suddenly waved his hand and said to the eunuch, "Go and deliver the sword that was presented...to Young Master Jiang."
The Mu Dynasty has many dependent countries, and they will pay tribute once in a while.
Logically speaking, as a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything, the emperor Mu Chao, whose work can no longer be easier, should at least remember this matter.
But from the sudden pause when the other party spoke just now, and the inexplicable gaps in the sentence, it can be felt that this man has really forgotten, or does not know at all which country the tribute is.
Jiang Chiqiu: It's hopeless, let's destroy it quickly.
Although the emperor spoke vaguely, after hearing his words, the eunuch quickly brought up the sword that the man mentioned.
Jiang Chiqiu had never practiced martial arts, but he could tell at a glance that this sword was nothing special.
Not only Jiang Chiqiu, but everyone at the banquet who saw the sword couldn't help casting amazed eyes, and some of them were jealous of Jiang Chiqiu.
I saw the emperor sitting on the highest position took another sip of wine, he smiled and said: "Jiang Xianwen defended my family and country for my great Mu, for a young talent! Jiang Danxue, as his younger brother, also You must not embarrass your brother and the Jiang family."
Hearing that Jiang Chiqiu complained about him in his heart, he saluted again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I will give you a sword today, so come and get it," said the emperor.
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu, who was standing in the center of the banquet venue just now, took a few steps forward, and took back the silver-white long sword from the eunuch's hand.
When he got the sword, Jiang Chiqiu's first reaction was: Shen.
This is not a decoration, but a sharp blade that can really be brought to the battlefield to kill the enemy after being sharpened.Such swords are always very heavy. Jiang Chiqiu, a young man who has never practiced martial arts and was unprepared, almost threw it to the ground after receiving the sword.
Fortunately, Jiang Chiqiu's quick reaction didn't cause trouble for the Jiang family at the celebration banquet.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Jiang Chiqiu, and two of them had the most complicated eyesight.
One of them is Zhiming tomorrow.
——The scene of Jiang Chiqiu taking over the long silver sword from the eunuch inevitably reminded Ming Zhouzhi of the scene he "saw" before.
The other person is Jiang Chiqiu's father, Jiang Shangshu.
The man watched Jiang Chiqiu quietly walking back to his place, and then turned his gaze back.
While the banquet was being held, Jiang Shangshu didn't say anything.And when the banquet was over and they boarded the carriage leaving the palace, he suddenly said to his wife: "Pei Shan, Chi Qiu is already 12 years old this year."
"Hmm..." Hearing Jiang Shangshu's sudden opening, Yu Peishan, who was sitting next to him, immediately nodded slightly, and then looked at the man sitting beside her.
At this time, the curtains in the carriage were not completely drawn, and all the lights in Baofan City at night slipped in through the cracks in the windows.
Under such lighting, Jiang Shangshu's gaze and expression were even more complicated.
After the man finished the first half of the sentence, he was still silent. After waiting for a while, he didn't see him continue. Yu Peishan finally tried to ask again: "What's wrong with Chi Qiu?"
Jiang Shangshu shook his head slowly and said: "Boys in Jiang's family have been trained in both civil and martial arts since childhood. Jiang Xianwen is exactly like this. But after Chi Qiu was born, we saw that he was not in good health, so we didn't ask him to practice martial arts for the time being. Now he I'm already twelve, and my body is much better than when I was young, so I think... I should ask Chi Qiu to practice martial arts."
"But—" Yu Peishan hesitated and said, "Is it too late for Chi Qiu to practice martial arts at this age?"
"It's a bit late, but it's not too late. Besides, we don't want him to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service like Xianwen. It would be nice if he has a little self-protection ability and can strengthen his body." Jiang Shangshu continued.
"It's also..." From Yu Peishan's point of view, Jiang Shangshu's words are not unreasonable.
When Yu Peishan was hesitating, Jiang Shangshu finally said: "Today His Majesty just gave Chi Qiu a sword, so I think it's better to start from now on."
沉默一会后,于佩杉缓缓地点了点头,作者有话要说:感谢在2020-11-2223:59:12-2020-11-2323:55:39期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦……
Thanks to the little angel who threw the mine: 1 piece of pudding from Rongzong;
Thanks to the little angels of irrigation nutrient solution: 20 bottles of Guoma; 10 bottles of lotus seeds;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Today's Holy Majesty is notoriously extravagant.
When Jiang Chiqiu went back to his grandfather's house, he had seen the scene where the emperor expropriated beautiful women.After so many years, the Holy Majesty still has no intention of stopping.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu had already heard gossip from the people in Baofan City - they said that despite the grandeur of the imperial palace, there might not be enough room in the palace at this time.
Although these are all exaggerated claims behind the scenes, Jiang Chiqiu feels that the truth is not much different...
As the prince's accompanying student, Jiang Chiqiu can naturally carry out activities in specific areas in the palace.
After so many years, Jiang Chiqiu has long discovered that the number of concubines in the palace is increasing.And at this time, the prince's ranking has already listed more than 20 people.
In the eyes of some people in this dynasty, this may be a symbol of flourishing offspring.But now these twenty princes, the concubine mother behind them and the forces represented by the concubine mother have become a big trouble.
In Xuejun's battle, most people believed that Mu Chao would definitely win.Therefore, although the generals have been assigned early.But there are still many princes in the royal family who want to win a chance to play.
Naturally, these princes also want to lead the army and contribute to the country, but what they want more is military merit.
Although many people have seen this point, the prince is a prince after all, and no one in the court dared to reveal this point.
Jiang Chiqiu is the fourth prince's accompanying student. He is only in his teens now. Although he is envious of military achievements, he is not yet old enough.This time, the main contenders for this opportunity were the three princes in front.
Although this matter had no direct relationship with Jiang Chiqiu and the fourth prince, their classes were temporarily suspended.
The emperor himself didn't even want to pay attention to the government, let alone the "small fights" of several princes.
Therefore, although he knew about it, he didn't intend to intervene at all. Instead, he pretended to be watching a show, waiting for the outcome of the fight in the harem.
Now that the harem has been disrupted by the three princes' mothers and concubines and the forces behind them, no one has the intention to study hard in a short time.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Chiqiu temporarily stayed here at Zhufengguan.
——Now the person who is in charge of Zhufengguan has already known tomorrow, maybe the national teacher no longer has any requirements, and Jiang Chiqiu, who lives here again, no longer needs to get up early and drink clean in one breath as he did when he was a child Those extremely bitter soups.
In contrast to the gradually intensive schoolwork at the palace, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly found that the life in Zhufeng Guan was really comfortable enough...
It is midsummer at this time, and it rains most often in this season near Baofan City.
On the second day after Jiang Chiqiu came to Zhufeng Temple, there was heavy rain falling from the sky.
Jiang Chiqiu himself wanted to sleep for a while this morning, but the sound insulation of the wooden structure house in Zhufeng Temple is not very good.So early in the morning when it was just dawn, Jiang Chiqiu was already awakened by the sound of rain outside the window.
Although Jiang Chiqiu really wanted to sleep in again, his career in the palace for the past few years had made him used to going to bed early and getting up early.
According to the usual living habits, this is almost Jiang Chiqiu's waking time.
Therefore, after being awakened by the sound of rain, Jiang Chiqiu did not go back to sleep, but got up to wash up, changed his clothes and opened the window.
In the past few years, Jiang Chiqiu had no chance to live in Zhufeng Temple like he did when he was a child, but because he would come here occasionally, a room was reserved for him in Zhufeng Temple.
Now Jiang Chiqiu lives in his own room.
Jiang Chiqiu liked the smell outside when it was raining. He opened the window to let the air in.But he didn't expect that as soon as the window was opened, Jiang Chiqiu saw a familiar figure appearing on the other side of the window.
That man is known tomorrow, and his room is opposite Jiang Chiqiu.
The buildings of Zhufeng Temple are built against the mountain, and the structure of the houses here is not as regular as that of the imperial palace.
Although the residences of Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi were not built next to each other, and there was even a small pool of water between them, they could still see each other after opening the window.
Suddenly seeing Ming Zhouzhi appearing in front of his eyes, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but froze for a moment.
Unlike Jiang Chiqiu who was still a child, Ming Zhouzhi, who was eight years older than Jiang Chiqiu, was already an adult.
Although Jiang Hexia no longer called Ming Zhouzhi "beauty" like he did when he was a child, but in Jiang Chiqiu's eyes, Ming Zhouzhi now has more temperament than when he was a teenager.
The most prominent point is that Ming Zhouzhi's sense of oppression caused by his long-term superiority is already obvious.
Even though he only met Ming Zhouzhi yesterday, at the moment when he opened the window and suddenly saw him, Jiang Chiqiu felt that the man in front of him was a little strange at this moment.
"Chi Qiu..." The person standing opposite called Jiang Chiqiu, and then he suddenly smiled and said, "Why did you wake up so early?"
The name "Jiang Chiqiu" can only be called by the Jiang family, but the existence of this name is not a secret.Friends who are familiar with Jiang Chiqiu all know what his real name is.
I don't know when it started, but Ming Zhouzhi, like Jiang Chiqiu's family, called him by his real name.
After opening his mouth to speak, Ming Zhouzhi's feeling of repelling others from thousands of miles away suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the familiar appearance of Jiang Chiqiu.
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, he slightly raised his volume and said to Ming Zhouzhi: "It's raining today, and the noise is so loud that I'm a little upset, so I suddenly couldn't fall asleep."
As if catering to Jiang Chiqiu's words, at the same time Jiang Chiqiu opened his mouth, the sound of the rain around him became louder again.Jiang Chiqiu's originally complete sentence was suddenly shattered by the sound of rain.
Jiang Chiqiu didn't know if Ming Zhouzhi, who was separated from him by a small pool of water, had heard what he just said clearly.
The rain curtain called Jiang Chiqiu's vision blurred, and he vaguely saw Ming Zhouzhi standing by the window over there suddenly leaving his previous position.
After a while, Ming Zhouzhi, who was still dressed in white, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chiqiu holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Jiang Chiqiu smiled when he saw Ming Zhouzhi stopped in front of his window, and said to himself: "Since the rain is loud and disturbing, why don't Chi Qiu come and listen to me play the piano?"
This is what Jiang Chiqiu was waiting for!
Although the entertainment activities in this world are much richer than the first world Jiang Chiqiu visited.
But this place is still ancient after all, and people's entertainment activities in this era are very limited.But in the Jiang family, where the family rules are extremely strict, Jiang Chiqiu can choose even fewer entertainment activities.
Listening to someone play the piano is something Jiang Chiqiu can rarely choose, and it is also his favorite among the few things he can choose.
After hearing Ming Zhouzhi's words, Jiang Chiqiu did not hesitate. He also turned around and picked up the oil-paper umbrella that was put aside, and then quickly walked out of the room and into the outdoor rain curtain.
The sound of rain in Jiang Chiqiu's ears became louder. The moment he approached Ming Zhouzhi, Jiang Chiqiu naturally closed the paper umbrella in his hand, and the next moment he got under Ming Zhouzhi's paper umbrella.
Jiang Chiqiu has been in this world for more than five years and nearly six years. He feels that the most important skill he has learned after living in this world for so many years is to pretend to be childish.
For example, Jiang Chiqiu is now able to complete the task of getting under other people's umbrellas without any burden in his heart.
And Ming Zhouzhi seems to have gotten used to it.
Jiang Chiqiu is only about 12 years old now, and his height only reaches Ming Zhouzhi's shoulders.
So after getting under someone else's paper umbrella, Jiang Chiqiu took his hand back with peace of mind and asked Ming Zhouzhi to hold the umbrella for him.
——Jiang Chiqiu is indeed completely familiar with the people of Zhufengguan.
You must know that in the past few years, Ming Wuzhi's prestige among the people has become higher and higher.In the past few years, the state teacher's health has been poor, Ming Zhouzhi has done a lot of important work on his behalf, for example, the previous year's Muqiu Grand Ceremony was presided over by Ming Zhouzhi.
And such an extremely sacred Ming Zhouzhi in the hearts of the people, people would never think that he would hold an umbrella for a teenage child.
After walking two steps, Jiang Chiqiu asked Ming Zhouzhi, "Where are you going to play the piano?"
Ming Zhouzhi lightly pointed to a small pavilion not far away, "It's right here," he said after thinking about it.
The Zhufengguan house has been built for decades. The selection of wood here is very special, and it took a long time to design before the construction.
So after it rains, there is no standing water, and even the floor doesn't slip or creak when you walk on it.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi entered the pavilion together.
Jiang Chiqiu saw that there was a black guqin in the middle of the pavilion, and beside the guqin were a few books that had not been read and were detained here at some time.
Even though Jiang Chiqiu temporarily stayed here at Zhufeng Temple, even Ming Zhouzhi had already done a fortune telling for his brother.
But after all his elder brother really went to the battlefield, Jiang Chiqiu still felt a little worried in his heart.
So after seeing that Jiang Chiqiu was no longer in a relaxed state as usual, Ming Zhouzhi entered the pavilion and adjusted the strings a little before suddenly changing the topic.
"I remember when you were young, Chi Qiu, you said that the things you want to do the most in the future are playing the piano and drinking tea." Ming Zhouzhi said suddenly.
After hearing Ming Zhouzhi's words, Jiang Chiqiu was stunned for a while.
When did you say such a thing?Isn't this wish too boring?
Jiang Chiqiu's memory is very good, and after a pause for a few seconds, he immediately realized - when his brother and the prince came to Zhufeng Temple, they talked about their ambitions, and at that time, he seemed to make it up like this with.
"Is there such a thing?" Although Jiang Chiqiu had already remembered it, he still pretended that it didn't happen.
Jiang Chiqiu asked a rhetorical question first, and then glanced at Ming Zhouzhi in confusion.
Apparently Ming Zhouzhi didn't let Jiang Chiqiu go like this, and he didn't mean to let go of this topic.
The man smiled, nodded to Jiang Chiqiu and said, "Yes, I wonder if Chi Qiu has learned to play the piano now?"
Jiang Chiqiu naturally wouldn't.
When Jiang Chiqiu came to this world, he mistakenly took this mission world as a place for leisure and relaxation.Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu's goal in the beginning was just to be a salted fish.
And later, when he suddenly knew that this was a mission world, Jiang Chiqiu didn't dare to waste his time anymore.
So about five years ago, Jiang Shangshu was suddenly very pleased to find that his youngest son changed his attitude of not paying much attention to everything and learning everything. learned to learn.
Jiang Chiqiu didn't know what would happen in this world in the future, and the system didn't intend to give Jiang Chiqiu any spoilers in the past few years.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu, who was worried that he would not be able to complete the task well, seized all the time to study seriously in the past few years.
At this time, Jiang Chiqiu is already a well-known young talent in Damu, but Jiang Chiqiu has been working hard to learn "knowledge useful for the future" these years, and has temporarily left things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting behind.
"Uh..." Jiang Chiqiu hesitated for a while, and finally said truthfully, "I won't..."
After hearing the other party's answer, Ming Zhouzhi smiled, he stopped talking and started playing the tune.
Most of Mu Chao's popular songs have a slow rhythm, and Jiang Chiqiu always wants to sleep after listening to them.But the song Ming Zhouzhi is playing now is completely different. This song is called "Snow Melting", which describes the scene of melting ice and snow in early spring.
Therefore, the rhythm of Melting Snow's song is also very rarely cheerful.
Ming Zhouzhi played the piece quickly, not Jiang Chiqiu lamenting - he has listened to countless interpretations by famous artists in the past few years, and still thinks that Ming Zhouzhi plays this piece the best.
"Next song..." Just when Jiang Chiqiu was about to "order a song", he saw the man sitting opposite him suddenly stand up.
Ming Wuzhi walked to Jiang Chiqiu's side, and then said to him: "Since you remembered your childhood wish, why not take this opportunity to learn how to melt snow with me."
"Wait..." Although Jiang Chiqiu has now become a well-known good student of Mu Chao, he is forced to do nothing!
Jiang Chiqiu himself divides this time into his own rest time. In his opinion, rest time cannot be "wasted" on learning things.
However, Jiang Chiqiu is much lower than Ming Zhou Zhi, and now he has no way to escape from Ming Zhou Zhi's clutches.
Before Jiang Chiqiu could think up the words to reject and say it out, he was already slipped by Ming Zhou Zhiti and sat in front of the piano...
"I don't think I have the talent in this area." Jiang Chiqiu said rejection all over his face.
Hearing this, Ming Zhouzhi shook his head in disapproval, and said to Jiang Chiqiu, "If you don't try it, how can you know if you have talent?"
Jiang Chiqiu still wanted to struggle again, "But playing the piano is all about the basic skills. I haven't learned anything before. If I want to learn it now, I can only start from the most basic. When the battle of Xuejun is over, I'm afraid They can't even melt snow."
"It's okay." Jiang Chiqiu heard a terrible sentence from Ming Zhou Zhi's mouth, "I don't expect you to become a master. I will teach you this piece directly, and you can memorize everything I teach." I see that Chi Qiu you also like this piece very much, why don't you learn it directly."
Good guy!Tomorrow knew that it was going to be done to encourage the growth of seedlings.
Ming Zhouzhi of Zhufeng Guan asked for a lecture on his own initiative, and if Jiang Chiqiu finds a reason to refuse, it seems that he will not give the other party some face.
So at the next moment, the slowed down first line of "Snow Melt" flowed out from the guqin in Ming Zhouzhi's hands.
Ming Zhouzhi's piano skills are really good, after this short sentence, Jiang Chiqiu was immediately immersed in the atmosphere of the music.But before Jiang Chiqiu enjoyed listening to the whole passage, he heard the song cut off in his ears, and then Ming Zhouzhi's cruel words appeared in Jiang Chiqiu's ears.
"That's it, imitate it again."
Jiang Chiqiu: "..."
What should I do if I still want to refuse?
As everyone expected before, the battle of Xuejun did not last long.
On the fourth day after the army arrived in Xuejun, the rebellion was resolved very smoothly, and another day later, Zhufeng Temple received a good news.
Zhufengguan has always been an image of avoiding the world and fighting in the hearts of the people, but as the residence of the national teacher, the news here is also very well-informed.So even though Jiang Chiqiu was not at home or in the palace, Jiang Chiqiu was one of the first people to hear the news.
"Xuejun won a big victory, and the leader of the rebel army was beheaded by Jiang Xianwen."
Jiang Chiqiu repeated the battle report that Ming Zhouzhi had just told him, but when he repeated this sentence, his expression was completely different from what Ming Zhouzhi had expected before.
Ming Zhou knew that Jiang Chiqiu would be very happy when he heard the news that his brother had won a big victory.
But he didn't expect that after reading this sentence, Jiang Chiqiu pursed his lips lightly, looking very serious.
"Chi Qiu, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Ming Zhouzhi, who wanted to have two more rounds of jokes with Jiang Chiqiu, took advantage of the situation and sat beside Jiang Chiqiu.
The young man shook his head slowly. After being silent for a while, he finally spoke.
——Jiang Chiqiu is not an aborigine in this world, and has pessimistic predictions about the development of this era.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu often has some "rebellious" thoughts popping up.
If it were in normal times, he would never dare to tell the people around him.
But now, when facing Ming Zhouzhi, Jiang Chiqiu hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I'm just a little worried about brother."
Did Ming Zhou know that Jiang Chi Qiu's answer would be this.
"Why do you think this way? The battle in Xuejun has already been won, and Jiang Xianwen heard that they are on their way back to Baofan City."
Although the rain today was not as heavy as the day when Jiang Chiqiu learned to play the piano on a sudden whim, it still rained non-stop outside the window.
Jiang Chiqiu felt a little irritable, he walked forward slowly and stood by the window.
After blowing the cold wind, Jiang Chiqiu said to Ming Zhouzhi: "This is just a battle in Xuejun. My brother has achieved good results in this battle. Will he be sent to other places in the future? , continue to lead the army to fight... What should we do if the current situation is more complicated than the battle in Xuejun at that time?"
After saying this sentence, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly turned around and looked into Ming Zhouzhi's eyes.
Did Ming Zhou know that what Jiang Chi Qiu was going to say would be such a sentence.
Hearing what Jiang Chiqiu said, Ming Zhouzhi's first reaction was - fortunately, Jiang Chiqiu said this to himself.If other people heard it, Jiang Chiqiu's words would definitely harm himself, and even the entire Jiang family.
Although many people were not optimistic about the future situation at this time, everyone kept silent tacitly, and buried their rebellious guesses deep in their minds.
But Jiang Chiqiu actually told Ming Zhouzhi just like that.
Didn't Jiang Chiqiu's words clearly tell others that he thinks there will be an era of dogfights in the future?
But Ming Zhouzhi didn't think much about it, he was more shocked that Jiang Chiqiu, as an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, would think of such a faraway thing.
This is an angle that Ming Zhouzhi had never thought of before.
——Jiang Chiqiu's elder brother Jiang Xianwen won the battle, and even performed very well.
According to Mu Dynasty's habits and the emperor's temperament, he will naturally be reused in the future.No one can tell what kind of situation Jiang Xianwen will face afterwards.
Ming Wuzhi took a step forward instinctively. He patted Jiang Chiqiu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, since Jiang Xianwen has chosen such a path, he has already made all the preparations. You, as his Brother, you should be even more proud of him."
After the man finished speaking, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly asked about the system he hadn't contacted for a long time.
【Is Mu Chao dying? ] Jiang Chiqiu asked.
This time it was rare for the system not to be perfunctory with Jiang Chiqiu, it replied directly: [Yes. 】
So Ming Zhouzhi saw that after listening to what he said, Jiang Chiqiu did not become more relaxed.
Seeing this, Ming Wuzhi suddenly asked Jiang Chiqiu, "Chi Qiu doesn't like fighting?"
"I don't like it..." Jiang Chiqiu answered very simply.
From Ming Zhouzhi's point of view, sometimes Jiang Chiqiu doesn't look like a noble boy of this era at all.Although he looked a little coquettish occasionally, he was not the kind of young master who didn't know the sufferings of the world.
And this kind of Jiang Chiqiu made Ming Zhouzhi think of the scene he saw when he calculated it before.
If what he saw and thought was true, why did Jiang Chiqiu go down that road?
The victory in the battle of Xuejun undoubtedly inspired the entire empire.
At the same time that Jiang Xianwen and his party hurried back to Baofan City, the emperor couldn't wait to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the event.
This time, both Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi were invited, but because of their different status, they were still asked to sit in two seats far away from each other.
After taking his seat, Ming Zhou Zhi subconsciously looked at where Jiang Chi Qiu was.
At this time, the detailed battle report has been sent back to the capital, and everyone knows the outstanding performance of the eldest son of the Jiang family in this battle.
Therefore, the Jiang family, which itself enjoys great honor, is even more prosperous today than before.
Almost everyone who came to the banquet had to say hello to Jiang Shangshu first.At the same time, the wife sitting next to Jiang Shangshu seemed to be in better spirits because of this incident, let alone Jiang Hexia who had the word "excited" written on her face.
In short, although the current Jiang Chiqiu is trying his best to blend into the joyful atmosphere, he still has a feeling of being out of place with the surrounding environment.
Although many people present noticed this, few people really cared about it.
In the eyes of those who noticed Jiang Chiqiu's abnormality, he might just be a little jealous of his brother.
After a while, the banquet is about to begin.
Suddenly, a piece of music rang in Jiang Chiqiu's ears, and at the same time the emperor finally walked out accompanied by several concubines.
In all fairness, the members of the royal family have undergone genetic modification of the appearance of beautiful concubines generation after generation. Looking at the appearance alone, they definitely have nothing to do with the word "ugly".
But the man in front of him obviously looked like his body had been hollowed out by wine and meat.
The man looked to be in his 40s, with a thin body and a bit of apathetic spirit.
When Jiang Chiqiu came to the palace a few years ago, he often saw each other.However, in recent years, the emperor, who cared less and less about the princes' studies, almost stopped visiting them and asking them questions about their homework.
So after careful calculation, Jiang Chiqiu hadn't seen the emperor of this dynasty for a long time.
In addition to clearly feeling that the other party had become old, Jiang Chiqiu also saw that the emperor's eyes were very cloudy, as if he had drunk a lot of wine just now.
Jiang Chiqiu only glanced at the other party, then he couldn't help but lower his head and smile coldly.
At this time, in the entire banquet hall, only Ming Zhouzhi, who was looking at Jiang Chiqiu not far away, and Jiang Hexia, who was standing beside Jiang Chiqiu, noticed his expression.
Unlike Ming Wuzhi who had already expected it, Jiang Hexia was startled by Jiang Chiqiu's sneer.
The girl quickly stepped forward when no one noticed, she blocked Jiang Chiqiu a bit and said, "Chiqiu, what are you doing?"
Realizing that he should hide his emotions, Jiang Chiqiu quickly raised his head and switched expressions, saying, "It's nothing..."
Seeing that Jiang Chiqiu didn't want to talk, Jiang Hexia didn't talk to him anymore, but left the words "be careful".
After Jiang Hexia's reminder, Jiang Chiqiu finally hid his emotions.
This banquet was extremely extravagant. Logically speaking, Jiang Chiqiu, as the young son of the Jiang family, should have seen all kinds of big scenes.
But after the banquet started, he discovered that many of the ingredients in this banquet were never seen before.
If Jiang Chiqiu's memory is correct, Mu Chao's famine in recent years has not improved.Even at the beginning of this year... a large number of hungry people have fled to Baofan City.
Jiang Chiqiu has been living in this world for many years, subconsciously he has become a person in this world.
Jiang Chiqiu couldn't treat everyone in this world as paper people, so when he saw the food on his table and thought of the hungry people he saw a few months ago, Jiang Chiqiu's heart became more and more heavy.
When the banquet was held, the people who went to Xuejun had not yet returned.
Therefore, the protagonists of the banquet were the Jiang family and the second prince's mother and concubine who went to Xuejun together this time.
Not long after the banquet was held, the emperor started the rewarding session.
Jiang Chiqiu was not interested in this kind of activity, but when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Shang Shufu, Jiang Danxue."
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his head, his father's deliberately lowered voice came from his ears.
"Come forward to receive the reward..." Jiang Shangshu whispered in Jiang Chiqiu's ear.
After hearing his father's words, Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly left his seat even though he hadn't figured out what happened here.
The boy quickly stood in the middle of the banquet venue as his father said, and made a big salute to the man on the high platform.
Although Jiang Chiqiu's movements were a bit slow, there was nothing wrong with that, but luckily the man was drinking at this time, so he didn't pay attention to Jiang Chiqiu.
After seeing Jiang Chiqiu bowing to him, the man in the golden robe sitting on the high platform just glanced at Jiang Chiqiu indifferently, and then said to him casually: "Get up..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." In the eyes of those who are familiar with Jiang Chiqiu, Jiang Chiqiu's personality is a little loose.But after all, he has been in the palace for so many years, there is no problem in saluting.
Jiang Chiqiu's appearance is extremely good-looking. When he was young, he was a cute little dumpling, but now he is a delicate and elegant noble boy.
Seeing Jiang Chiqiu's actions, many people cast amazed and appreciative glances at him.
The emperor of the Mu dynasty liked gorgeous and beautiful things the most. Although Jiang Chiqiu did nothing, it was obvious that the young man's appearance and elegant etiquette won the emperor's favor.When he thought that Jiang Chiqiu was the young master of the Jiang family, and that Jiang Xianwen, who had shared his worries for him just now, was his own brother, the emperor's mood instantly brightened.
Seeing that the emperor wanted to reward Jiang Chiqiu with a jade pendant, he suddenly waved his hand and said to the eunuch, "Go and deliver the sword that was presented...to Young Master Jiang."
The Mu Dynasty has many dependent countries, and they will pay tribute once in a while.
Logically speaking, as a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything, the emperor Mu Chao, whose work can no longer be easier, should at least remember this matter.
But from the sudden pause when the other party spoke just now, and the inexplicable gaps in the sentence, it can be felt that this man has really forgotten, or does not know at all which country the tribute is.
Jiang Chiqiu: It's hopeless, let's destroy it quickly.
Although the emperor spoke vaguely, after hearing his words, the eunuch quickly brought up the sword that the man mentioned.
Jiang Chiqiu had never practiced martial arts, but he could tell at a glance that this sword was nothing special.
Not only Jiang Chiqiu, but everyone at the banquet who saw the sword couldn't help casting amazed eyes, and some of them were jealous of Jiang Chiqiu.
I saw the emperor sitting on the highest position took another sip of wine, he smiled and said: "Jiang Xianwen defended my family and country for my great Mu, for a young talent! Jiang Danxue, as his younger brother, also You must not embarrass your brother and the Jiang family."
Hearing that Jiang Chiqiu complained about him in his heart, he saluted again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I will give you a sword today, so come and get it," said the emperor.
Hearing this, Jiang Chiqiu, who was standing in the center of the banquet venue just now, took a few steps forward, and took back the silver-white long sword from the eunuch's hand.
When he got the sword, Jiang Chiqiu's first reaction was: Shen.
This is not a decoration, but a sharp blade that can really be brought to the battlefield to kill the enemy after being sharpened.Such swords are always very heavy. Jiang Chiqiu, a young man who has never practiced martial arts and was unprepared, almost threw it to the ground after receiving the sword.
Fortunately, Jiang Chiqiu's quick reaction didn't cause trouble for the Jiang family at the celebration banquet.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Jiang Chiqiu, and two of them had the most complicated eyesight.
One of them is Zhiming tomorrow.
——The scene of Jiang Chiqiu taking over the long silver sword from the eunuch inevitably reminded Ming Zhouzhi of the scene he "saw" before.
The other person is Jiang Chiqiu's father, Jiang Shangshu.
The man watched Jiang Chiqiu quietly walking back to his place, and then turned his gaze back.
While the banquet was being held, Jiang Shangshu didn't say anything.And when the banquet was over and they boarded the carriage leaving the palace, he suddenly said to his wife: "Pei Shan, Chi Qiu is already 12 years old this year."
"Hmm..." Hearing Jiang Shangshu's sudden opening, Yu Peishan, who was sitting next to him, immediately nodded slightly, and then looked at the man sitting beside her.
At this time, the curtains in the carriage were not completely drawn, and all the lights in Baofan City at night slipped in through the cracks in the windows.
Under such lighting, Jiang Shangshu's gaze and expression were even more complicated.
After the man finished the first half of the sentence, he was still silent. After waiting for a while, he didn't see him continue. Yu Peishan finally tried to ask again: "What's wrong with Chi Qiu?"
Jiang Shangshu shook his head slowly and said: "Boys in Jiang's family have been trained in both civil and martial arts since childhood. Jiang Xianwen is exactly like this. But after Chi Qiu was born, we saw that he was not in good health, so we didn't ask him to practice martial arts for the time being. Now he I'm already twelve, and my body is much better than when I was young, so I think... I should ask Chi Qiu to practice martial arts."
"But—" Yu Peishan hesitated and said, "Is it too late for Chi Qiu to practice martial arts at this age?"
"It's a bit late, but it's not too late. Besides, we don't want him to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service like Xianwen. It would be nice if he has a little self-protection ability and can strengthen his body." Jiang Shangshu continued.
"It's also..." From Yu Peishan's point of view, Jiang Shangshu's words are not unreasonable.
When Yu Peishan was hesitating, Jiang Shangshu finally said: "Today His Majesty just gave Chi Qiu a sword, so I think it's better to start from now on."
沉默一会后,于佩杉缓缓地点了点头,作者有话要说:感谢在2020-11-2223:59:12-2020-11-2323:55:39期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦……
