Ming dynasty grand dude

Seeing that the young master seemed to believe it, Miao An couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yeah! Diao Weng is from Wenzhou, and it is said that he was willing to come because he heard that Mr. Xiye was going to be the prefect of Suzhou."

A person from Wenzhou, who worked as a copywriter in the Shaanxi government for many years, is still surnamed Chen and nicknamed Diao Weng...

"Sister Miao An, help me call Bohu here..." Zhang Lun was thoughtful, Miao An didn't dare to interrupt when he saw this, he nodded and turned around to call Tang Bohu.

After Tang Bohu suffered a great loss in the Chunwei case, he finally calmed down a little. These days, apart from visiting those teachers and schoolmates who still helped and missed him when he was in trouble, he basically stayed with Xu Jing in this Taohuawu read.

Chapter 48 Visiting the Courtyard and Finding Neijiaquan

I have to say that Zhang Lun's advertisement on the shore of Jinling was really awesome. Xu Jing and Tang Bohu once again fell in love with their mentors.

Xu Jing's first printing of "Night Dream of Youdu: A Chinese Ghost Story: Nie Xiaoqian" was sold out in [-] days after the first printing of [-] copies!Fortunately, Xu Jing was prepared. The stereotype had already been prepared and another [-] copies were printed, but it was still not enough to sell!

It has already sold more than [-] copies just in the two capitals. It was heard in Fujian and Guangdong that Yemeng Yugongzi's masterpiece from the city of Youdu actually flocked in large numbers, triggering a frenzy of purchases.

Although Mr. Yu didn't meet the famous Jinling prostitutes directly, the song "Linjiang Immortal Rolling Changdong Passing Water" composed on the river has become famous in the south of the Yangtze River after their recitation.

Tang Bohu came to greet Zhang Lun in a hurry. He was a little surprised when he heard that his mentor was going to visit the magistrate, but he didn't say much.

With serious eyes, Zhang Lun selected a few of the most capable fighters from among the old soldiers, put on his clothes, and went to Suzhou City with Tang Bohu.

Fortunately, Taohuawu is not too far away from Suzhou City, and everyone rode tall horses and entered the city directly in just a short while.

Tang Bohu had already sent someone to make a report, so that Mr. Cao Mingqi was wearing a Taoist robe early on and waiting at the door with a few relatives and subordinates.

"I don't know if Mr. Yu is in front of you. It's rude not to greet him from afar..."

However, the leader, a slender man with a Confucian crown on his head, a slender man with a warm red face who looked about forty, was wearing a Taoist robe and bowed to Zhang Lun long.

Zhang Lun naturally knew how to return the gift, so he quickly dismounted and flicked his robe to show respect.Only then did he bow down deeply: "Mr. Nishino is not far away, you are ashamed of being so gifted!"

Cao Mingqi was very surprised by the bunch of etiquette and polite words that Zhang Lun said in a smooth manner.

This little benefactor of Tang Yin was so young that he was famous. I thought he would be full of arrogance, but he never expected to be so humble.

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, then Cao Mingqi led the group into the mansion, and soon arrived at the living room.

First, Tang Bohu thanked Cao Mingqi for writing a letter to defend himself in this incident, and secondly, Tang Bohu gave the magistrate the gift brought to him by Zhang Lun.

Since it was Zhang Lun's gift, it was naturally impossibly light. It was a Tianhuang Fangzhang the size of three fingers carved with a phoenix on Fengtai.Zhang Mianyang engraved the four characters "Fengming Qishan".

The whole chapter is housed in a palm-sized sandalwood box carved with a picture of traffic, horses, dragons and phoenixes falling on the top of a mountain.

"Oh~ Bohu, put it away quickly! How can this be done~!" Cao Mingqi fell in love with this chapter as soon as he saw it. At this time, all literati like Shoushan Tianhuang.

Obviously this piece of Tian Huang was specially prepared for him. His name is Cao Feng and his name is Ming Qi.It is the meaning of Fengming Qishan.The Phoenix Terrace engraved on it also has the meaning of the Central Phoenix Terrace!How can this be bad? !

Such a suitable and exquisitely carved one, and to put it bluntly, Cao Mingqi, the magistrate who also collected some Tian Huangzhang, didn't have a piece himself.

Cao Mingqi refused repeatedly, while Tang Bohu respectfully begged the butler who finally took the box to the side to put it away, and then he gave up.

Sitting down again is of course a literati-style chat. Fortunately, the three of them are all knowledgeable people in this era, so they won't be left alone.

"In addition to thanking Mr. Nishino for his protection, I also have an unsolicited invitation..." After talking for a long time, Zhang Lun finally got to the point.

Cao Mingqi got Tianhuang now, and seeing that Zhang Lun was quite polite, he laughed and waved his hands, Mr. Daoyu, but said it's okay!

Zhang Lun was not polite, and said directly: I heard that there is a master of martial arts brought back from Shaanxi by Mr. Nishino.Once stopped the startled horse in Suzhou City, it was very powerful.

You also know that the boy comes from a family of martial arts, and he is quite skilled in bowing horses these years.Hearing this expert, I wish I could see it!I also hope that Mr. Nishino will succeed.

Cao Mingqi pondered for a while, and finally waved to the housekeeper to invite the fisherman.

Then Cao Mingqi also told Zhang Lun about the fisherman.

"Shaanxi has a lot of private salt. When I was inspecting Shaanxi, I encountered private salt dealers rushing straight into the government office and looking like gangsters. They are very arrogant..." Cao Mingqi looked at Zhang Lun with a wry smile and said, "This Mr. Diaoweng is a person with real skills. where!"

That time really frightened Cao Mingqi, and it was also at this time that the two copywriters in the government office actually took the case and single-handedly killed several people among the private salt dealers.

Seeing this, the rest of the private salt dealers rushed away, and the two of them went straight out with single swords in hand.

After a while, he came back with seven or eight private salt dealers and threw them on the ground.

What happened that time left a deep impression on Cao Mingqi, so he specifically inquired about the names of these two people.One is Wang Zong from Shaanxi, and the other is Chen Zhoutong from Wenzhou.

"Chen Zhoutong, a fisherman from Wenzhou, has met the owner and everyone." While speaking, the man who was led by the housekeeper far away made a bow to Cao Mingqi and stepped into the hall with a smile.

Chen Zhoutong!Wenzhou Chenzhou Tong! !

Zhang Lun let out a deep breath from the bottom of his heart, and at this moment he had the answer: the one who single-handedly killed the crowd of private salt dealers was the one who later wrote the "Chenzhou Tongshu" under the nickname "Diaosou" One of the founders of Neijiaquan: Chen Zhoutong!

Chen Zhoutong was tall and thin and had a gentle face, but Zhang Lun could tell at a glance that the peaceful face of the founder of Neijiaquan was actually like a cheetah ready to go!

Others didn't notice that Zhang Lun and the old soldiers behind him were staring at the slightly arched legs under the tunic of the old man.

"So that Mr. Yu can know that Diao Weng and I are only hired as teachers. But I can't embarrass him..." What kind of person is Cao Mingqi, and he opened his mouth when he saw the tense situation.

Zhang Lun turned to Cao Mingqi with a smile and cupped his hands and said softly, "Mr. Xiye, don't panic, I'm just happy to see Liexin! Such a master, I haven't seen him for many years..."

Zhang Lun was still a little skeptical about the name of Chenzhou Tongnuo University, but he had beaten many soldiers in his previous life.In this life, there are old soldiers in the family feeding and practicing one by one.I dare not say how powerful my skills are, but my eyesight can be regarded as trained.

At this time, Chen Zhoutong also smiled and cupped his hands to Cao Mingqi, "Don't worry, Dong Weng, just as this young master said, this is the reason why good hands meet..."

"I heard that Diao Weng has excellent fighting skills, so I want to ask Mr. for some advice." But Zhang Lun pondered for a while, and he didn't have any protective gear when he started here.If you miss, no matter what you do to him.

Or what he did to himself, that was a big deal.Besides, the name of the person is the shadow of the tree.The name of Chen Zhoutong, the founder of internal boxing, is too famous in the history of martial arts. Zhang Lun doesn't want to risk his life.

"How about asking the fisherman to comment first if the kid in the yard strikes first?!" Zhang Lun pondered for a while, and felt that it was the safest way.

As long as he is a good hand, he will be able to see the way. There is a saying that the insider sees the way and the layman watches the excitement.

If Chen Zhoutong didn't see anything from this knife, Zhang Lun would give up and leave, so it would be best not to hurt the peace.So Cao Mingqi naturally looked at Chen Zhoutong, but he smiled slightly and bowed and said, "I want to do what I want, I dare not invite you!"

Chapter 49 Martial arts examination in the academy, teaching skills on behalf of the teacher

In the yard, the butler had people erect a few stakes to tie the horses, and at the same time dismissed some servants and maids from watching.Zhang Lun and Chen Zhoutong walked to the courtyard, while the old soldiers dispersed in all directions.

Standing in front of the stake, Zhang Lun smiled at Comrade Chen Zhou and said, "Then... I'll invite you first!"

Chen Zhoutong nodded with a smile, while Zhang Lun took a deep breath and slightly bowed to turn the knife over...

"Crack~!" The knife in Zhang Lun's waist was unsheathed in the flash of Flint, and he cut straight at the horse stake that was as thick as his forearm!

But the shadow of the knife flashed by, and when Zhang Lun pulled out a knife flower and put it back into the sheath, the wooden stake slanted down...

Chen Zhoutong's eyes sparkled with splendor!You know, Zhang Lun's knife was only at the moment when his voice just fell.

At this moment, Chen Zhoutong asked himself that he might not be able to completely dodge the knife. If the opponent was close enough and his movements were concealed enough, the knife might even kill him on the spot.

"Young master's knife is probably not the Central Plains knife technique. The knife is fast, fierce, accurate, and strange! But the knife seems to be wrong. This knife is slightly bigger. This knife technique should be narrower and longer. The knife can achieve the maximum effect..."

It is true that experts can know if there is one as soon as they stretch out their hands. Zhang Lun deliberately took the Xiuchun Dao bestowed by Emperor Hongzhi to demonstrate the Japanese Dao technique.

If this Chenzhou Tong is as it is said in history, then he can definitely see the mystery.

If he can't see that everything is over, Zhang Lun will leave directly with the old soldiers after a haha.

So at that moment Zhang Lun smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, his eyes are as bright as a torch. I heard that Mr. came here in a hurry and only brought this Xiuchun knife given by His Majesty. My father gave me the Japanese sword, but I forgot to bring it. .”

The Xiuchun Knife bestowed by His Majesty!Not to mention Chen Zhoutong, even Cao Mingqi couldn't help but take a few more glances at this Xiuchun knife.

The Xiuchun Knife of the Ming Dynasty was not the so-called "standard equipment" that flooded Jinyiwei as described in many film and television dramas. There were only two ways to obtain the Xiuchun Knife at that time: imperial gift and imperial use.

For the imperial use, it is the personal saber of the brocade guards who travel with the emperor.Commanders will wear the imperial embroidered spring knife at court meetings or important occasions.

Yuci is simple, just like Zhang Lun is now.In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial gift of Xiuchun Dao was also given to civil servants.

Since it was used by the Jinwu imperial guards around the emperor, no expense was spared, and each Xiuchun knife has its own number.It even has the owner's last name on it.

According to the level, it is divided into hundreds of refinements and thousand refinements. In terms of shape, this knife refers to the Yanling knife, Lancet knife and the Japanese sword that was loved and respected by the people of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

The shape is slightly narrower than that of ordinary waist knives, and the slightly larger arc is more convenient for drawing and chopping.The deeply sunken blood groove, as well as the cold and sharp blade all silently showed that it is not just a decoration.

Since it is a gift from the emperor, there are naturally many gilt and silver decorations, the most conspicuous one is the scabbard.

The scabbard is shiny green shark skin, and the bottom of the scabbard is fully covered with gilt-bronze bullfighting brackets.The middle part of the scabbard is wrapped with a pair of two-finger thick and finely engraved gilt-stitched silver bullfighting plate buttons, and the top scabbard is pinched with gold wire to the intricate bullfighting-pattern sheath opening.

Looking at the eyes of the two people, Zhang Lun couldn't help but smiled and handed the knife over.

Cao Mingqi hesitated for a moment and did not dare to take it, but Chen Zhoutong smiled and said thank you and took it.

With a sound of "啷呱~", the sharp knife was unsheathed!The sound of the blade cutting on the gold-plated bullfighting scabbard was extremely clear, and the Xiuchun Dao, which was forged with cloud patterns on the blade, looked at Chen Zhoutong and couldn't help sighing: "It really deserves to be a gift from the emperor, it is really a good sword!"

After finishing speaking, he fiercely "brushed~" at a wooden stake next to him, and then put the knife back into its sheath and handed it back to Zhang Lun with a smile.

But there was a crisp sound of "Kach~!", and the stake was broken in two!The section of the knife is clean and crisp, just like the section of a cut melon.

But this is a wooden stake, and not many people saw clearly how Chen Zhoutong made the knife just now.

A few veteran soldiers looked at Chen Zhoutong with a serious face, they saw Chen Zhoutong's sword attack.Almost in an instant, he twisted his waist and directly slashed towards the wooden post while controlling his strength very well.

After chopping off the wooden pile, he retracted the force to return the knife to the sheath, which directly demonstrated his mastery of body coordination, strength, and strength.

"The fisherman is really good at swordsmanship!" Zhang Lun admired sincerely, then took the knife and asked with a smile: "But I don't know what the fisherman's plans are for the future?! With martial arts, wouldn't he just wander around the world?!"

The smile on Chen Zhoutong's face gradually became bitter when he heard the words: "If it's not like this, what else can it do?!"

"If there are no accidents, the martial arts will be reopened within two years." Zhang Lun looked at Chen Zhoutong, and said with a smile: "Maybe the fisherman doesn't know that Guo Yanhe, the current governor of water transport, is Wu Tanhua in the sixth year of Chenghua. My elder father recommended him to join the army."

Chen Zhoutong couldn't help but light up when he heard the words, but then dimmed again.

First of all, he is not young now, he is already in his thirties, and secondly, he has confidence in other martial arts events.But what about the horse bow? !

Martial arts is to test infantry and horseback archery, which is a must for the first test.But contrary to this, there are not many folks who can ride horses and practice archery.

"Diao Weng, you are just a copywriter with me, but your martial arts are useless." Chen Zhoutong didn't understand Zhang Lun's meaning, how could Cao Mingqi beside him not understand? !

But seeing him hurriedly said: "Since the young master is from a family of martial arts, he is also willing to learn a few more martial arts?!"

"I want to do what I want, I dare not invite you." Zhang Lun smiled, the founder of Neijiaquan is really a bit dull!Look at Cao Mingqi, you know Zhang Lun is going to help him after hearing what Zhang Lun said.

I don't know how to express this, but I just stand there and don't speak.

However, Chen Zhoutong stood there, his face turned blue and white, and he seemed a little uncertain, and he cupped his hands at Zhang Lun after a while.

"I know that it is a great fortune for me to teach you art, and I also know that you are not worthy of being a master..." Chen Zhoutong seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Zhang Lun: "But please let me teach you art."

Zhang Lun came to a sudden realization, it turned out that Chen Zhou was also thinking about this matter!

You can't hide or hide something for Zhang Lun, right?But this is not hidden, it must be a disciple who has taught everything.

Ask Zhang Lun to kowtow to him as a teacher? !Chen Zhoutong himself didn't dare to think so, just kidding!Zhang Lun is now famous as Nuo Da, don’t say that this is the era of gentlemen and martial arts, even if it wasn’t for the dignified little prince of the British government to kowtow to him...

Thinking about it, Chen Zhoutong felt that his neck was a little cold.Accepting apprentices and teaching art on behalf of teachers, this completely resolved the contradictions at once.

Chapter 50 There is nothing wrong with a wonderful peace of mind

Naturally, there was a feast of wine and banquets after that, and Cao Mingqi and Chen Zhou bid farewell to each other.After being full of wine and food, Zhang Lun led a group of people back to Taohuawu when it was dark.

At this time, the whole Taohuawu was already brightly lit when the lights came on. When Zhang Lun went out, the housekeeper Zhou couldn't follow him, but he sent his son to follow the little father-in-law to practice.

The old Zhou family also had children with the Zhang family for several generations. It is said that the old ancestor Zhang Yu has been serving the Zhang family since the time.

Later, the ancestors of Jingnan's old Zhou family were Zhang Yu's personal soldiers at that time, and they returned to the main formation with Zhang Yu and died in battle together.

So the widow and children of the old Zhou family were promoted by the Zhang family and became the chief housekeepers of the Zhang family.Lao Zhou is now the third generation, and Xiao Zhou who came with Zhang Lun is the fourth generation.

The housekeeper Xiao Zhou also followed his family's route to the Nine Sides and stayed in water transportation, so he handled things in an orderly manner.

In the following days, Zhang Lun didn't go out again, mainly because he was tired of dealing with those scholars.Not to mention one and two eyes as big as a scorpion, I felt suave and suave when I walked around with the two girls.

In Zhang Lun's opinion, I made two songs with sore front teeth that Nima moaned without illness, but they are still happy to let you comment on them.

He simply threw Xu Jing out to be in charge of entertaining these people, while he himself directly refused to meet with him under the pretext of having to deal with the three examinations of the government, hospital, and county.

In fact, Zhang Lun spent more time practicing martial arts with Chen Zhou than reading books during this period of time, passing on the truth with one sentence and falsely passing on thousands of volumes of books.A lot of things are actually just a quick kick in the door, and it’s nothing magical after I tell you the key.

Although Zhang Lun took the way of his mother's family at the beginning, he has been well maintained.

As far as the hand holding the long stick is concerned, the delicate and moist skin can be seen in the white and slender fingers, and the fingertips are as pretty as bamboo shoots, but there seems to be a layer of glistening light on the moist, white and clean hand.

If someone looks back against the light, Zhang Lun's hands seem to have a little fluorescent effect.

This is the effect of Zhang Long and Zhang Meng's brothers, in order to please their little father-in-law, specially found the recipes refined by their parents.

The old Zhang family is not short of money, so Zhang Lun basically uses this recipe for bathing.Because he found that if this prescription is used for bathing, it seems to be very good for body recovery and bone growth.

"Papapa~~" After finishing a set of stick techniques, Miao An, who was practicing sword beside Zhang Lun, hurried over to wipe his sweat and offer him tea after Zhang Lun stopped his momentum.

"Sister Miao'an, why are you bothering..." Zhang Lun looked at Miao'an with a wry smile, but saw Miao'an blinking at his little father-in-law and said: "I don't feel bitter! My maid has been peeing since she was a child." Heroes such as Xikong Konger and Yang Miaozhen, I yearn for them!"

Helping Zhang Lun wipe off his sweat, Miao An put down the sweat towel and said, "It's just that the family feels that women practice martial arts, what's the benefit? It's not easy to get married if you have rough hands and feet..."
