The beautiful plan of Lao Kou and Kou Feng has not yet been implemented. On the day they returned, they knelt in the ancestral hall for a day. Princess Yiyang woke up in the morning and heard that her son and grandson were driving a chariot to the battlefield. Fortunately, she did not suffer a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot. She waited for Lao Kou and Kou Feng. After Kou Feng came back, he angrily asked them to kneel in the ancestral hall!
The Kou family is different from most aristocratic families. They move around. At first, they were actually from the north. Later, after being a wealthy Yongzhou family for a period of time, they came to Jingxiang for some reasons to develop. Therefore, Moving was nothing special for the family.
But if you don’t feel it, you don’t feel it. When they move, they will remember to take away the ancestral tablets, and then seal the door of their former hometown, so this family’s ancestral hall is also here.
"Dad, my legs are numb." Kou Feng, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, felt that this father now seemed like his real father. The father who used to have all his ambitions and hegemony in his hands on the road must have been possessed by a ghost. Look, now they are all taken to the ancestral hall to be punished by kneeling down.
"Okay, okay, stop kneeling, just sit cross-legged." Lao Kou said to his son. It wasn't that he didn't respect his ancestors, but that his family was in such a situation that only two people were left alive. Fortunately, I knelt in the ancestral hall, and the ancestors inside were even more heartbroken.
I didn’t see Cai Zhaoji worshiping her ancestors. When Cai Chen was not making a fuss, she followed the etiquette and bowed when she needed to, and kowtow when she needed to. But when Cai Chen cried, she quickly offered incense and then worshiped collectively. In fact, this did not It’s not that we don’t observe filial piety, it can only be said that for the ancients, inheritance is the greatest filial piety.
The Kou family is a little better than the Cai family, and at least they still have an adult legitimate son. If the Cai family had not been unwilling to add Cai Zhaoji, the Cai family would have been extinct by now, and their popularity was gone.
"Hey, I thought you told grandma." Kou Feng looked at his father helplessly. He thought his grandma allowed him to march and fight before, but it turned out that his feelings didn't allow him. So why are you bragging? It's over. Yes, the grand army command plan was shattered.
"..." Lao Kou was silent. He also thought that his mother had agreed to his marching and fighting, but in the end she still did not give permission.
"Uncle Fu." Just when Lao Kou was silent, Kou Feng saw his butler coming over with a plate. He looked around to make sure there was no spy, so he stretched out his hand to greet him.
"Master, Master, let's eat something to fill our stomachs before we talk." The butler handed the prepared fish, meatballs, tofu, and prepared rice to the two of them.
"Uh, this is not good." Kou Feng looked at the meat and vegetables. It was not good to eat this in the ancestral hall [txt fo]. "What if my grandmother finds out?"
Lao Kou sneered, picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of fish, and started eating directly. These things were all sent by his mother, and there were only two cubs left. They can really make you hungry.
"Okay, Lao Fu, you go down and make some porridge at night. By the way, remember to stuff the dead cows into the ice cellar and refrigerate them." After eating, Lao Kou suggested to his housekeeper. Yan nodded repeatedly.
"But the ice here is difficult to deal with. The further south you go, the less ice there is. There is no ice here all year round. If you go north to get ice like before, it will be very expensive, head of the family." The housekeeper lowered his head and reported. There are many people here who have never seen snow in their lives, because this is a tropical area, so there is no ice cellar on the Kou side, but Lao Kou is accustomed to thinking that it is still the same as before.
"Idiot, improve Zhou Gongjin's heating array. Heating and cooling are basically two things. If you master one, you only need to find the right method to master the other. Legions have completely opposite existences. ." Lao Kou waved his hand and signaled the housekeeper to solve the problem quickly. If the problem cannot be solved, he would cook the cow quickly and give one point to the guards.
"Yes, Master," the Kou family's butler quickly replied. He must not be able to handle it. He is not like Lao Kou who has studied martial arts for forty years and read the art of war for thirty-five years. However, he has no chance to use it and can only use it. A master of theoretical research.
"Okay, let's continue discussing the previous issues." After the housekeeper left, Lao Kou first toasted a glass of wine to the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall, and then picked it up and started drinking. Kou's ancestral hall was very large, but the tablets were very small. Young Master, this broken family is filled with the aura that it will end sooner or later.
"Dad, can we change the topic? You see, we are all punished to kneel in the ancestral hall." Kou Feng said awkwardly. He originally thought that his grandmother would let them go, but in the end, feelings still didn't allow it. Now that they are not allowed, If you still do it, isn’t it a bit excessive?
"Forced to kneel in the ancestral hall?" Lao Kou sneered, "Can this alone extinguish the ambition that your father and I have been burning for more than forty years?"
Kou Feng blinked at his father frantically, and Lao Kou's voice became smaller and smaller, because Lao Kou, who had his back to the door of the ancestral hall, had already seen an extra head in the shadow in front of him. Since this is not a supernatural movie, then Needless to say, this must be my own mother.
Other families may have rules that prohibit women and married women from entering the ancestral hall, but for certain families, such as the Zhen family, the Cai family, and the Kou family, if you don't allow women to enter the ancestral hall, your family's ancestral hall will be closed. Wait for it to fall into ashes, you are a man with no direct lineage, and you are talking nonsense!
"Mother." Lao Kou prostrated himself in front of his mother. She looked quite well-behaved. Princess Yiyang was dressed in a graceful and luxurious dress. Except for the white hair caused by worry and illness, her face was actually more beautiful than her own son's. He is younger. Of course, it is possible that her son has lost some energy due to her treatment.
"Come on, tell me all the reasons you have and let me listen carefully." Princess Yiyang picked up a cushion from the side and knelt on it. She looked at her son and then at her grandson. Anyway, Kou couldn't It's all over on your own.
Lao Kou was silent. The way men think is very different from that of women, and when this woman is the man's mother, it becomes even more troublesome.
"Mom, I have been practicing martial arts for forty-one years." Lao Kou said with a sigh.
"What else?" Princess Yiyang looked at her son and said calmly.
"I have been reading military books for thirty-six years." Lao Kou said through gritted teeth.
"What else?" Princess Yiyang looked at her son noncommittally.
"I even taught myself battle formations. Relying on the information accumulated and disclosed by the Han Dynasty, I even taught myself, understood, and even mastered Xuan Xiang. I have smoothed out all the simple military strategy books left by my ancestors, except for I've finished learning the actual combat and the rest." Lao Kou looked at his mother, with obvious sadness in his voice.
"If you had reached this level twenty years ago during the Guanghe period, I think it would be feasible. What Huangfu Yizhen did in less than fifteen years took you thirty-six years. This path is not It suits you." Princess Yiyang smiled and said to her son, "You are the only one in the family. I don't ask you to be invincible, but at least you must be able to protect yourself in the hands of invincible people."
Princess Yiyang's requirements for her son are actually not high, because he is the legitimate son of a general, and there is only one in the entire family. Princess Yiyang's requirements for her son are extremely simple. Either you don't go out and are under my nose, or you work hard to achieve what I will give you. set requirements.
Needless to say, no one would bully a family that only has orphans and widows, but has a profound background, a great heritage, and a low-key life. The latter means that it already has the ability to protect itself.
In fact, Cai Yan has the same plan for his son. Either you listen to my arrangements, marry a wife and have children, spread your business for the Cai family, and live under the eyes of your father and me, without achieving any big achievements in your life. , spend it peacefully, or you can work hard to make your mother think that you have the ability to suppress all overt and covert attacks.
Princess Yiyang also had the same idea. The goal she set back then was to read, understand, and integrate all the military arts passed down from her ancestors to become her own ability.
Princess Yiyang originally thought that if her son had not achieved it in his twenties, there would be no hope of achieving it in this life. She probably gave up the idea later. However, Lao Kou was still not good enough when he was twenty. It was far away, but even so, he did not give up. It took him thirty-six years to complete this step tirelessly.
"I would have had this ability twenty years earlier?" Lao Kou smiled silently. If he had been able to do it twenty years earlier, and also had self-taught Xuan Xiang, and understood part of the elite talent structure, he would have been alive to this day. It is as strong as Huangfu Song.
In fact, this is what Princess Yiyang thinks. Either you have Huangfu Song's ability, and people will not kill you even if they are unhappy with you. At most, they will let you go to the wild, or you can be realistic and be a lazy pig, eating, drinking and having fun. You are happy and I am at ease.
If you can't do it at this level, as your mother, I'm very worried about letting you go to the battlefield.
How high is Huangfusong's level? Let's put it this way: during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, eight of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty revolted, which is equivalent to the entire map being enemies.
Huangfu Song set out in April and went south from Chang'an. After the Battle of Changshe, the Battle of Wancheng, and the Battle of Xihua, Yuzhou was settled, and most of the northern part of Jingzhou was settled. Then he went north to Dongjun, Cangting, and Yanzhou, and then continued northward. Guangzong beheaded Zhang Liang, Quyang beheaded Zhang Bao, and the Yellow Turban was finished.
In a total of seven months, Huangfu Song put down a large-scale uprising that spread across the country. Except for Zhang Jiao, all the main leaders were killed by Huangfu Song. Except for Han Zhong, all the main leaders of the Yellow Turbans were killed by Huangfu Song.
During these seven months, half of them were on the march. Except for Bo Cai, who stood up to Huangfu Song for half a month, the others basically saw Huangfu Song, and the entire army was on the road within three days.
Although Han Xin and Bai Qi both joked that Huangfu Song was an individual, in fact, Huangfu Song's level was already at the peak of the normal era.
In other words, Huangfu Song is now old, his thinking is not as good as before, and his condition has declined a bit. In fact, he has returned to his peak after taking drugs. Even Lord Wu An and Marquis Huaiyin must take him seriously.
