beg for chivalry

Jin Wu pushed open the door, stepped over the sill, and stood in front of the grandpa.

He was extremely cautious at this moment, with his hands behind his back coyly, and he kept twisting the corners of his clothes.After a moment of silence, he glanced at Jin Zhen, and Tai just looked at him coldly and condescendingly, as if he was looking at a dead object without emotion.Jin Wu became more and more anxious, and hung his head without saying a word.

"It's just to change clothes, why did it take so long?" Jin Zhen said coldly.

"I... There is a thief in my room." Jin Wu buried his head lower. "I'm going to catch him..."

Jin Zhen scoffed at these words, and reprimanded, "You bastard, you're talking nonsense!" After a while, he asked again, "How's your long sword practice?"

"The moves are all... memorized."

The unsmiling old man nodded slightly, "You memorize sword skills quickly, but you still have a lot to learn. The long sword technique I am teaching you now was created by Yang Neichang, the Tang Dynasty attendant. It is the most commonly used sword technique among frontier troops. If you are a little older, you can cut horses' knees and kill Yidi."

As he said that, he patted Jinwu's head heavily, and said, "Not only the long sword, but also the short sword, Maza spear, and bow. I put the "Teaching Archery" in the study, and I will go after practicing today." Just take a look. If you go to the battlefield and kill too many people, the blade will curl up and human oil will wrap around the blade."

"At that time, any weapon in your hands will become your most convenient treasure sword! Do you understand, Jinwu?"

The young master frowned, and after a while he murmured: "I..."

"Huh?" Jin Zhenbao's eyes widened, looking at Jinwu.Jin Wu flinched a little, his little face turned pale and covered with cold sweat.

After a while, Jinwu whispered: "I don't want to practice swords anymore. I want... I want to play."

As long as he can remember, Taigong has been a king of Hades to him, forcing him to gait in the martial arts field and practice gait in front of the wooden stakes, never resting for a day.He didn't want to learn these swordsmanship and sword moves, he just wanted to be like a neighborhood kid running around like crazy outside, fighting grass and catching children.

Jin Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Nonsense!" He was silent for a moment, then suddenly flew into a rage, and grabbed Jin Wu's skirt. "You sneaked out before? Didn't you? Grandpa told you that you were determined not to step out of here! Did you not listen to Grandpa and sneak out to play by yourself?"

He yelled angrily, and Jinwulili trembled in fright.The young master was grabbed by that strong arm, his feet were lifted off the ground, and he was suspended in mid-air, but he didn't dare to move, obviously frightened.

"I didn't...no."

"Since you don't have any, why are you covered with mulberry leaves?" Jin Zhen said in a deep voice, took a wide egg-shaped emerald leaf from the folds of Jinwu's clothes, patted him again, and shook off some grass clippings . "There is no mulberry tree in our courtyard. If you hadn't been out of the house, how could you bring back this leaf?"

Jin Wu was so frightened that his whole body went limp.He did sneak out once, and secretly went to the steamed cake stand to exchange a few cakes, hoping to hide them in the room and find a good opportunity to eat them.Unexpectedly, a thief surnamed Wang entered his bedroom today and ate up all the cakes he had bought so hard.

The old man glared, grabbed him and said: "I have told you many times, you are not allowed to step out of the house!"

"If someone sees your eyes and face..." Jin Zhen stopped his voice suddenly, put him on the ground, and sighed heavily, "Forget it, forget it! How can the Jin family come out like this..."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Jin Wu had roughly guessed the meaning of his Tai Gong's words.He lowered his head sadly, grinding the sand and gravel on the ground nervously with the tip of his shoes.His appearance is so strange, with a pair of green eyes and slightly curled hair that is always unruly. When children in the street see him, they will always make faces at him and throw stones at him, saying that he It was a ghost fleeing from the west, and he didn't want to talk to him, so he fled far away.

The grandfather certainly didn't want him to go out and be seen and gossip about the Jin family.He seems to be lacking in everything, living a life of rich clothes and fine food, but he has never been welcomed by others.

Jin Wu was hanging his head, listening to Jin Zhen's scolding dully, but he heard a voice from behind.

"Hey, old man. I brought that leaf in. I just went to the street to buy some tea seed oil. I just passed by the row of mulberry trees by Langfang. Maybe I accidentally got the leaf on my body, and it fell on the young master when I came back." body."

A small head poked out from between the doors.

The person who spoke was a child dressed as a servant, wearing clean blue clothes, his hair had been left loose and tied with a piece of white silk.Wang Xiaoyuan pushed the door open with a smile and walked out with dimples on his cheeks, just like a boy servant who has served in the mansion for a while.

Just now he rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Jinwu's bedroom, and finally found a simple dress to wear, then took out the scissors, cut off the cuffs of the silk dress, and cut off a hair tie.He eavesdropped on Jin Wu and Jin Zhen's words for a moment, guessing that the old man was extremely strict with his appearance, at this moment he used the etiquette he learned when he was in the Zuichun Garden, and obediently stood behind Jin Wu with his hands down.

Jin Zhen frowned, and sized up Wang Xiaoyuan who appeared suddenly: "Who are you?"

Wang Xiaoyuan said casually, "I'm a new servant, specially here to serve the young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jinwu's eyes spit fire, staring at him ferociously, as if he wanted to chew him up and swallow him.

"...It looks pretty cool." Jin Zhen said indifferently, "Are all the servants entering the mansion these days so uneducated?"

This old man has a courage that is not angry and arrogant, and Wang Xiaoyuan can't help but look serious when standing in front of him.No wonder Jin Wu was so frightened that he shivered, Wang Xiaoyuan just showed his face in front of Jin Zhen for a while, and felt his heart pounding in his chest, fearing that he would wet his pants the next moment.

Wang Xiaoyuan grinned and said, "I was just born out of my mother's womb, and I haven't learned how to speak yet. As for what 'education' is, I don't understand it at all."

He ignored the golden crow that almost pierced his gaze, and continued talking nonsense, "Just as I said just now, when I went out, mulberry leaves fell on my body, and I accidentally shook it on the young master. The young master is like a bastard today." I've been stuck in this garden all this time, and I haven't gone out a step... I promise with my conscience!"

God knows if this little thief has a conscience.At this moment, Jin Wu was so suppressed that his face was flushed, and his nose was blowing frequently, wishing he could stuff Wang Xiaoyuan's gibberish mouth with a rag.

"In that case," Jin Zhen stroked his white beard, his face frosty, "how did the mulberry leaves get on Jinwu's body?" He said in a deep voice while holding the wrinkled leaves, "if you two hadn't moved Hands, feet, and fighting, how can this leaf be caught deep in the folds of the clothes, and it will be torn to pieces, and the body is covered with grass clippings?"

"Golden Crow, if this is the case, Grandpa, I really want to teach you a good lesson! I have told you many times, you must be conscious of the people in the Jin family, and you must not mess with others. Grandpa taught you how to use knives, knives, etc. The way to use a sword is not to teach you to bully others!" Jin Zhen said angrily at Jin Wu.Jin Wu was stunned by his stare, his words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Wang Xiaoyuan hangs out with the ground sticks in Huanrengou all day long. He is black when he is close to ink, and he doesn't have a drop of good water in his stomach.At this time, he rolled his eyes, pointed at the Golden Crow, and said with a naive expression:

"Grandpa, the young master called me into the room just now, and lifted the quilt to make me warm the bed. Let's hug and hug, and that's it."

Jin Wu seemed to understand what he said, but he didn't seem to understand.He kicked Wang Xiaoyuan and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Wang, what does 'warming the bed' mean?"

In fact, Wang Xiaoyuan doesn't understand what warming the bed means. He only knows that Mrs. Wang and Qian Xian'er use this excuse to sell him to various people's homes. To warm the bed for him, wouldn't it be enough to hold a hand stove in your arms?So he whispered to Jin Wu:

"Probably because the nights are too long and the quilt is too cold, you need someone to warm you up. I heard that you rich people like to do this."

Jin Wu shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

Wang Xiaoyuan said: "I don't understand either."

The two of them were talking to each other, but Jin Zhen's face suddenly changed, his face was bruised, and his mustache seemed to stand on end with anger.He grabbed Jinwu and slapped him twice on the cheeks with a big palm.

"It's unreasonable!" Jin Zhen shouted, "Jinwu, I didn't expect you to be infected with such evil tendencies at such an age!"

Jin Wu's cheeks were red and swollen from the beating, but he was dazed, completely unaware of why Jin Zhen slapped himself.Little did he know that his father-in-law had long seen the dandy habits of the children in Beijing. He had seen the Gaoliang children who were able to teach scary cows and horses at the age of school, and he had also seen the playboys who wandered around Huajie and Liuxiang all day long, and he hated it.

"Hmph, there are a lot of distinguished guests at the door today, so I won't teach you for now." The old man took him by the back collar, threw him into the backyard, and said coldly, "If you swing the knife five thousand times more, you won't miss it once. Your filthy mind!"

There are racks of weapons on display in the backyard, and there are many wooden stakes. It seems that it is a place for martial arts on weekdays, and few people walk around.Jin Wu was beaten for no reason, and then thrown into this cold place, but he didn't feel annoyed.He just got up and sat on the ground, staring blankly at Jin Zhen's leaving figure.

Wang Xiaoyuan approached cautiously, only to hear him murmur: "It's so strange."

"What's so strange?"

Jinwu raised his head, looked fixedly at Wang Xiaoyuan, and said, "What exactly is 'warming bed'? Why is Grandpa so angry?"

"Well... I heard from my father that the person who is warming the bed has to give a lot of money to the person who is warming the bed. Maybe your grandpa thinks that you are spending too much money, which is too wasteful." Wang Xiaoyuan said.

"But I don't have any money on me..." Jin Wu lowered his head. At this time, his thoughts were mixed, and for a moment he forgot that the child beside him was a thief who came into the house to steal money, so he murmured, "What do you want?" Apan will buy it for me. There are only five taels of silver a month, and it is useless to keep it, and the silver will not become snacks..."

When he turned his head, he saw Wang Xiaoyuan's eyes were wide open, and greedy light burst out from his eyes.Jin Wu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Five taels of silver!Wang Xiaoyuan wiped his saliva, and immediately knelt down like a Pekingese dog, pounding his head like garlic:

"Master! I hope that your lord will ignore the past, and the little one will follow you from now on!"
