Linzhi

He Zhan found fresh meat crisps on the stove that were still warm, and the sense of loss that he couldn't go shopping with his brothers had completely dissipated, and he was full of ironing.

He still remembered that when he was in Zhushan County, he went to the street with his brothers to go to the market. At that time, the He family was in a difficult situation, and everyone had no money in their hands, so they could only secretly drool while looking at the steaming steamed stuffed buns.At that time, he was still young, standing in front of the fresh meat shortbread stall, sucking his fingers and refusing to leave, He Rong coaxed him, saying that when he had money, he would definitely buy him ten or eight fresh meat shortbread, so that He eats enough.

The He family brothers lived in a foreign land since they were young, sharing joys and sorrows, and the brothers have a harmonious relationship, more like an ordinary family, but there are also differences of closeness.

Although the second brother, He Xiu, is the same mother and brother as him, and they often go hunting in the mountains, but the second brother is careless by nature, and in terms of relationship, he is better with He Xi, who is constantly chattering.

Because He Zhan was often by He Rong's side when he was young, he naturally got close to He Rong when he grew up.

Although the third brother didn't say anything, he remembered everything.He Zhan thought as he took a bite of the delicious and oily shortbread.

But his good mood stopped early the next morning.

As soon as he arrived at the Beiya school grounds, He Zhan saw Song Yun rushing over with a few people angrily. If that aura was used on the battlefield, he might be able to ride a thousand horses. When the opponent approached, He Zhan realized that Song Yun had a colorful face. , the black and blue circle around his right eye was extremely eye-catching, and the people behind him were also more or less injured.

"He Zhan! You are so daring, you can't do it face to face, so you just play tricks of the villain who complains behind your back?!"

He Zhan didn't understand, so he asked, "What is the complaint behind the scenes?"

Song Yun's face turned red with anger: "No one in the entire capital dares to fight against me, who else but you!"

He took two steps back, pointed at He Zhan and said to the people behind him: "Which one of you can bring him down, I'll take Nanlufang down and invite you to stay overnight!"

Song Yun didn't forget that he was beaten yesterday, and the children of the aristocratic families behind him, relying on their numbers and strength, and after training in the barracks for a while, all geared up and rushed towards He Zhan.

Zhang Ze came running from a distance: "What are you doing, I'm going to call General Cheng!"

Song Yun sneered: "Cheng Yue doesn't care about the members of our Shenwu Army!"

Song Yun opened his mouth and forgot to close it.

The few people who beat He Zhan fell to the ground, screaming and writhing in pain.

He Zhan also showed a good temper, as if he didn't do it at all just now: "Did you misunderstand, I went home after the exercise yesterday and didn't go anywhere, so how can I sue you?"

Zhang Ze ran over out of breath: "Song Yun, don't bully people too much!"

Song Yun didn't expect that he couldn't beat He Zhan, and even several of them could not fight together, so he could only sternly threaten: "You wait for me, this matter is endless!"

"This matter is indeed endless." It was not He Zhan who answered, but the person behind him.

Song Yun was shocked, turned around suddenly, and saw General Ji Cuoji and Cheng Yue, commander of the Habayashi guards, standing behind him.

"What's going on here?" Ji Zuo asked with a frown. He already knew that the atmosphere in the Beiya was not good, but this was a long-standing habit. The guards in the Beiya were each bigger than the other. Looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face is not easy to control. Over time, the confrontation between the noble children and the common people's children has become more and more serious.

Song Yun could not give Cheng Yue face, but facing Ji Zuo, he unconsciously became short of breath: "If you go back to the general, it's nothing..."

Ji Cuo yelled: "Hold your head up! Speak up! How do you teach the rules in the military?"

Song Yun gritted his teeth and puffed out his chest: "Go back to the general, nothing happened!"

He is not stupid, the incident in Nanlufang was exposed yesterday, let alone whether He Zhan has anything to do, he will definitely be punished.

Ji Zuo looked at He Zhan: "Say it."

He Zhan cupped his hands: "Back to the general, Song Yun and I had some verbal misunderstandings yesterday. I originally thought that the matter had been exposed, and everyone knew each other. But today he directly attacked without saying a word. I don't know why, but my subordinates know that fighting in the army is a violation of discipline, so they are willing to accept punishment."

Ji Zuo nodded, and said lightly: "Then you will compare others today and double the training. I will let your respective centurions keep an eye on you, and don't leave until you finish."

He glanced at Zhang Ze: "Everyone here is."

Zhang Ze opened his mouth wide, dumbfounded.God, what's the matter with him?He didn't say a word, who did he provoke?

Song Yun was not convinced: "General!"

Ji Zuo: "Song Yun, that day your grandfather wanted to send you to Beiya. I disagreed, but your grandfather not only insisted, but also asked me to discipline you strictly. If you don't want to stay in Beiya, you can go back and talk to me Your grandfather said, I will naturally not force you to stay."

Song Yun completely stopped.

Ji Cuo took Cheng Yue to leave, and Chief Chen came over and said coldly: "Did you hear what the general said just now? Song Yun, you belong to the Shenwu Army. Go back to the Shenwu Army to receive your punishment, and someone is watching you. "

Song Yun gave He Zhan a hard look, and left with a group of attendants who supported their waists and shoulders.

With a bitter face, Zhang Ze resigned to his fate and picked up two big iron balls, followed by He Zhan and began to exercise his arm strength. When others lifted it fifty times, they had to lift it a hundred times before they could stop.

Seeing Chen Qian walking away with his hands behind his back, He Zhan asked in a low voice, "Why did Song Yun pick on me as soon as he came here?"

Zhang Ze hecked twice, taking pleasure in other's misfortune.

It turned out that Nanlufang made a bid for Xiao Meiniang yesterday. Among the people who went with Song Yun, there was a man named Qiu Su who was working in Nan Ya. He just got married last year, and his wife was fierce and jealous. Qiu Su was a little afraid , Every time I go to a brothel, I hide it from my family.As a result, it was a coincidence yesterday that he was spotted by an acquaintance on the street, who went to his house to file a complaint, but Qiu Su's wife took her natal family's servants to Nanlu Fang to make a disturbance.

"I was also there at the time, and Qiu Su, tsk tsk, was scratched and beaten up so badly that he might have to ask for leave today to recuperate from his injuries. Not only that, but his wife also had Nanlu Fang smashed to pieces, and Song Yun Those few people were not spared either, they were beaten several times, he must have come to trouble you because he thought you were going to sue the Qiu family."

Of course, He Zhan is very happy that evil will be rewarded with evil, but he doesn't want to take the blame for this kind of blame: "I don't even know Qiu Su, how can I find his family?"

Zhang Ze: "I think so. I guess it was Qiu Su's fierce wife who sent someone to follow her husband. It's a pity that you didn't go yesterday. Qiu Su was beaten and ran around with his head in his arms. He lost the reputation of the imperial army." Song Yun beside him was so frightened that his face paled, and he kept yelling, don't hit, don't hit, it's really a mess, it's so lively!"

He Zhan: "Is this how Nanlu Fang admits to being defeated?"

Zhang Ze: "There's nothing you can do if you don't admit it. Qiu Su's wife's natal family is also a military commander. I heard that she is very skilled. Xiao Meiniang's situation has been ruined. She saw that the situation was not good yesterday, so she simply didn't show up. .”

He Zhan thought, the capital is really rich and powerful, and everyone has a backer. If you throw a random stone, it might hit someone from a prince or official.

"Looking at Song Yun's appearance, I've decided that I've tripped him up, and maybe he's going to lay a black hand on me at some point. You'd better stay away from me, so as not to be implicated."

Zhang Ze didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of? It's not like you can't beat him. My hands itch when I see him. Just when you beat them up, I can step on them!"

This is for fear that the world will not be chaotic, He Zhan is helpless.

Song Yun didn't bother him that day, probably because he was so fined that he had no energy left, but when He Zhan returned home and passed by He Rong's house, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he turned around.

He Rong is practicing calligraphy under the plane tree in the yard.

He Zhan joked, "Where's third brother's flower rope?"

He Rong didn't raise his head: "It's Wen Jiang."

He Zhan took a closer look, and saw that the other party was silently writing the "Military Power" of "Sun Tzu's Art of War". The final epilogue: "It is like turning a boulder on a mountain of thousands of feet, and it is powerful."

He Rong finished it in one go, put down his pen and wiped his hands, and said with satisfaction: "That's right, you memorized it when you were young, you still remember it."

He Zhan was surprised: "Is this the homework of the Chongwen Museum? The scholars teach "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?"

He Rong: "Sir, he just asked us to write three large-character articles every day. No matter what the article is, what we study on weekdays is mostly the Four Books and Five Classics."

He Zhan: "Third brother's handwriting is really beautiful."

He Rong glanced at him: "Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?"

The brothers all learned the characters from Mr. Song, the father of the eldest sister-in-law Song. At that time, He Rong learned fast and well, so Mr. Song asked him to help guide the younger brothers. He Zhan's characters were mostly taught by He Rong In running script, the two resemble each other seventy to eighty percent.

He Zhan smiled and did not refute.

Wen Jiang brought out tea, poured a cup for the two of them, and went to do other things.

This tea is no longer the wild tea they picked themselves, but a portion sent by the Zongzheng Temple. Although it cannot be compared with the tribute tea, it has a delicate fragrance and tastes first bitter and then sweet.

He Zhan: "Third Brother, have you heard of Qiu Su? This man seems to be working in the Nanya Office. He went to Nanlu Fang with Song Yun yesterday, and his wife at home found out about it. Several comrades in the imperial army were beaten up severely."

He Rong picked up the paper full of words, put it aside to dry, and said casually: "I know, I was the one who sent people to the Qiu's house to report the news."

He Zhan took a sip of tea and spewed out immediately.
