Since the capital of Daqi is in Luoyang, there are basically no emperors permanently stationed in Chang'an, so the Jia family's mansion in Chang'an is not well built. Compared with the other four capitals, Chang'an's mansion is a bit smaller, only smaller than that of Jinling. The mansion converted from the prince's mansion is larger.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the facilities that a county palace should have, such as the large garden and a small school ground that are standard in a duke's palace.

"You have to think about it. Practicing martial arts requires a lot of hardship. Once you start, you won't be able to stop and give up."

In the small school field, Jia Hui spoke earnestly to Lin Daiyu, who had her eyes wide open and a determined look on her face.

When I went to court a few days ago, I talked with Lin Ruhai about Daiyu's martial arts training. I thought that Lin Ruhai would object fiercely, but what Jia Hui didn't expect was that after thinking about it with a frown, Lin Ruhai actually agreed.

agreed!

Didn’t the Lin family want to reprint the article? Why did you let your daughter practice martial arts again?

"Well, when I was still in Yangzhou, even though I, Yuan Engong, sacrificed his life to help, people still came into the house several times. If it weren't for Yuan Engong sending a letter to his master and inviting a few female disciples to protect their mother. Three, I’m afraid”

When Lin Ruhai said this, Jia Hui understood.

People still need to be able to protect themselves.

However, Lin Ruhai had no say. The education of her children was a matter for the inner house, and Jia Min was the one who made the decision.

So Jia Hui went to Jia Min's yard in Rongguo Mansion.

Originally, the Lin family also had an old residence in Chang'an, but since the Lin family had lost their title, the Lin family's palace in Chang'an was taken back.

I originally wanted to buy another one, but I didn't. Then I thought that Er Sheng would return to Luoyang in October or November this year, so I simply moved into Rongguo Mansion.

However, they have not given up the plan of buying a house, so the stewards of the Lin family are still paying attention to various dental shops in Chang'an City, and will buy a suitable house once there is one.

In front of Jia Min, Jia Hui would always be inexplicably dwarfed. After Jia Hui asked respectfully, Jia Min readily agreed.

She was also frightened by the assassin who ran into the Yanxun Yushi Yamen some time ago. She only regretted that when she was a child, she listened to her mother and did not follow her father to practice martial arts. Even the small crossbow given to her by the emperor was not very good. She did not want to My daughter felt that powerlessness again.

Moreover, my daughter's health was not very good before. She has recently started practicing archery, and her body and bones are gradually getting better. Since there is no harm in practicing martial arts, my eldest nephew Jia Hui is probably one of the top martial arts masters in Daqi. If the princesses in the palace want to practice martial arts, they may not be able to find a better teacher than Jia Hui.

Since both myself and her husband agree that Daiyu should practice martial arts, and Daiyu's talent is so good, after practicing for a few months, she will have the strength of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old herself. With the guidance of a famous teacher, her family can completely afford it. Then learn it.

As a result, Jia Hui asked people to clean up the small school ground in the county government, and had some wooden weapons and some exercise equipment made and placed in the small school ground.

By the way, Jia Hui also asked Yingchun to come over, intending to teach her some self-defense techniques.

After all, one sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being herded. There are also many benefits to having a learning partner by your side, confirming each other, and learning from each other.

As for whether to continue learning after learning a few tricks, it depends on Yingchun's own choice.

"I want to practice martial arts!" Daiyu replied in a very firm tone, but her expression was a little weird.

Brother Hui, this hair

"Huh? What's there on my face? Why are you looking at me like this?" Jia Hui also found that the little girl looked at him a little strangely.

"Brother Hui, what's wrong with your hair?"

"Oh, this, braided hair, what do you think? It suits me very well, right?" When talking about hair, Jia Hui became interested, and shook the braids all over her head towards the two little girls, and then In addition, he is wearing a short crew neck and bloomers made of primary color ramie.

If coupled with a head of yellow hair, yellow head Xianbei?

"You seem to be thinking about something rude." Jia Hui, who was bragging about himself, suddenly felt a sense of malice. After feeling it for a while, he quickly locked eyes with Daiyu, who was obviously distracted.

"No." Daiyu shook her head repeatedly. How could she admit such a thing?

"Just pretend you don't."

Jia Hui grinned and said he would have a good time teasing her later.

"Okay, now let's get to the point." Jia Hui changed the topic and his expression became serious. The two sisters Daiyu and Yingchun, who were still standing a little loosely, also felt the change in the atmosphere and quickly imitated Jia Hui and stood up straight. body, looking at Jia Hui.

"Yes, very good." Seeing the two people's reactions, Jia Hui was very satisfied.

Unlike Jia Lian, when I taught him martial arts, I almost had to use a whip!

He couldn't stand or sit down, and he was always distracted. The dignified Duke of Rongguo Mansion couldn't even dance with a sword, let alone archery and long weapons!

The only thing worth mentioning is the riding skills. I can't ride fast yet. I start to get scared as soon as the horse speeds up. They keep saying that this is the shadow of the hard training that Old Mrs. Jiao had when he trained them for several months. I always feel that as soon as I ride fast, an old man will rush up behind me with a riding crop and say that he has good riding skills and that I need to give him more training.

Alas. This kid is considered useless. Let’s try to train Brother Cong in the future.

After all, brother Yuntiancong is a brother who is loyal to others and spares money. How can he be a brother if he doesn’t have strong skills?

"Well, what are the so-called eighteen kinds of weapons?"

"It's the eighteen kinds of knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, axes, maces, sticks, sticks, sticks, spears, and rakes!" Daiyu replied.

"Well, yes, that's right. Is there anything in particular you want to practice?" Jia Hui nodded. These are the eighteen most widely circulated weapons.

"What do you particularly want to practice? Brother Hui, don't you need to lay the foundation to practice martial arts first?" Daiyu asked doubtfully. Is this different from what her mother said about Brother Hui's martial arts practice back then?

"I know, I just want to ask you what you want to practice and give you a special one."

"But my sister doesn't know what she likes." Daiyu looked confused and reasonable. Although she knew what the eighteen weapons were, she had never seen most of them!

"In that case, okay, let's try them one by one. Your foundation is actually pretty good, you have strength, and because you have been practicing shooting skills, your lower body is also very stable. I just need to wait and teach you a set of stance techniques. Come on, the weapons are all here, come and try them." He led the two little girls to the weapons rack.

This set of small weapons was sent by Jia Hui from the Duke's Mansion in Luoyang. It was originally a gift from Lu Guan when Jia Yanei was full moon. It was originally intended to be used for Xiao Yanei's future martial arts practice, so it was made like this. It is much smaller than the normal model and is suitable for children aged seven or eight to play with.

However, it won’t be used in a short time. After all, it is for the enlightenment of seven or eight-year-old children, and Xiaoya Nei is three days, four days, and five months older than him, so he really can’t use it, so we will simply give him two children first. An aunt used it for enlightenment.

Jia Hui picked up the weapon and introduced it to the two of them one by one. Yingchun was not interested, but Daiyu's eyes became brighter and brighter. After Jia Hui finished explaining, she looked at the small gun with burning eyes.

"What? Are you interested in spears?" Jia Hui also noticed this scene, smiled, took out the small spear from the weapon rack again, and handed it to Daiyu who looked excited.

"So, what does Sister Ying like?"

"I don't know, is there anything that elder brother wants his sister to learn?" Yingchun really has no interest in these fighting and killing things. She prefers reading and playing chess.

If her eldest brother had not personally called her here, she might not have come here.

"Okay, what do you think about the sword?" Seeing that Yingchun really didn't like this, Jia Hui didn't force it. He mainly saw that Yingchun always stayed in the house all day long, either reading or being a girl. Hong would either play chess or even stay away from home for the whole day. He was worried that she would get sick from being bored in the house, so he asked her to come over and practice with him.

"sword?"

"Yes, you don't need to learn those attacking moves with swords. My brother will teach you a sword dance. From now on, if you practice it four or five times a day, Sister Ying's body will become healthier and less likely to get sick. "Jia Hui took a small sword from the weapon rack and handed it to Yingchun, and touched her little head along the way.

It just so happened that Daiyu also chose the sword among short weapons, so that was good, and Jia Hui's teaching also saved effort.

However, although they are both practicing swordsmanship, the things they teach are still different.

"Although things like swords are given more and more meanings by the world, such as ritual objects, decorations, warding off evil spirits, 'kings of hundreds of weapons' and even magic weapons." He held his own sword and made a sword flower in his arms handsomely. This made the two little girls look at him with admiration.

"But, let's put aside those things that are not there. I will just talk about this long iron bar with a double blade and a straight tip made of several kilograms of iron. This is a weapon that can hurt people horizontally and vertically, and can penetrate armor when it hits. ! You must remember this firmly, this is a weapon that can really hurt others and even take away other people's lives, not a toy."

Having said this, Jia Hui glanced at Daiyu, who had been turning the small wooden sword with her wrist.

Daiyu suddenly blushed with embarrassment and quickly put her sword on the ground.

"As for swords, they appeared in the tribal era. The exact time is unknown, but it was probably during the time of the Yellow Emperor. They were first made of copper, and later evolved into bronze swords, iron swords and steel swords."

Speaking of steel swords, Jia Hui placed the sword in his hand horizontally in front of the two of them and showed it to them.

Jia Hui's sword is naturally not ordinary. It is a fine steel sword made by the swordsmiths of the Ministry of Industry with great effort. Just like Jia Hui's custom-made extended Yan Ling Dao, these long swords of his also require It is longer than the standard long sword.

It's just that there aren't many places where Jia Hui can use swords. As a military attache, he still has to wear swords most of the time, so the Ministry of Industry doesn't make more swords for Taiwei. There is only one sword every year, which is completely incomparable to Yan Ling, who starts with five swords every year. Sword and saber.

Although these swords are mass-produced, when these weapons are put into the arena, they are still first-rate and peerless weapons.

The reason is also very simple. Anyone who has good craftsmanship has gone to the Ministry of Industry to earn royal food and be employed. Why should he take the risk of being killed by some mentally ill people in the arena at any time?

Looking for excitement?

Entering the Ministry of Industry will not only provide you with many benefits, but there will even be a craftsman level assessment. The highest level will be named "teacher", enjoy the prefect treatment, and will become a guest of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, gaining both fame and fortune.

However, before becoming a "master" in their respective fields, there are still some general craftsman levels.

For example, Apprentice - Blacksmith - Blacksmith - Great Blacksmith are the common levels for all blacksmithing professions, followed by the specialized route, Swordsmith - Swordsmith.

All of Jia Hui's equipment was hand-made by these "divisions" from the Ministry of Industry.

"As for how to practice, it is generally divided into two types: 'standing sword' and 'walking sword'.

As for the 'Standing Sword', generally speaking, the movements are quick and agile, while the static movements are calm and sculptural. "

Just as he was speaking, Jia Hui took a few steps back and suddenly thrust his sword to one side. He only heard a "clang" sound from the sword, and he made a standard stabbing movement without losing any trace of his body. Shake.

The two movements of cutting and cutting were performed one after another, both of which were paused in one movement. When moving, they were quick and decisive, and when they were still, they did not move at all.

First use a few tricks to arouse their interest in martial arts, and then teach them and they will get twice the result with half the effort.

"On the other hand, 'Exerting Sword' has relatively few pauses, and the movements are continuous, even and snappy."

After thinking about it, Jia Hui gave up practicing the Tai Chi sword that old men and women often played in the park in her previous life.

After a pause, let’s do some basic moves.

In the meantime, Jia Hui was holding a long sword, and he performed basic movements such as stabbing, chopping, swinging, and slashing in a smooth and smooth manner, with no pause at all in one move after another.

The two little girls opened their mouths with excitement and their eyes were shining brightly.

Jia Hui was very satisfied with the two people's reactions and nodded secretly.

"At the same time, swords also have long tassels and short tassels. The tassels are also called tassels. Its function is to dance to confuse the enemy. During the drill, it looks like a flying dragon and a phoenix, and the image is beautiful. Especially the long tassels, which flutter with the sword, are even more magical.

This is the sword spike. "

He held the sword horizontally in his hand again and placed it in front of the two of them. He held the long red spike hanging at the end of the sword hilt in the palm of his left hand and showed it to them.

"Sword training requires the body to be in harmony with the sword, and the sword to be in harmony with the spirit. "Lushui Pavilion Miscellaneous Knowledge IV" says: The sword's edge is like a blade, and the body is used as the handle. The body technique of Weizhou Mu Lianyou people, It is as light as an ape or a bird, and this is the skill of swordsmanship.' The "use one's body to handle" mentioned here means that one's body is used to lead the sword. This is the key to practicing swordsmanship. "

Jia Hui paused and glanced at their slender arms.

"However, people at each stage will have different understandings of this sentence. For you now, the meaning of this sentence is: hold the sword tightly, hold it, don't throw the sword away, or Hurt yourself. Do you think the blade of the sword will hurt your hilt?"

"Won't!"

"Won't."

"Okay, let's learn how to hold the sword."
