The arrival of the newcomers initially made the dudes in the Guards Camp, who had begun to regard themselves as the Gentlemen's Camp, excited for a few days, thinking that their Gentlemen's Camp was about to be joined by like-minded and elegant people.
Each one of them was in an encouraging mood, and even began to spontaneously study how to show the unique style of Junzi Camp to these new friends.
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry.
A gentleman’s joy!
Unfortunately, after a few days, they became discouraged, because he found that these people were simply vulgar and shallow people and were not worthy to be compared with them.
Every day, they act like fools, shouting slogans, standing in square formations, dancing with guns and sticks, and fighting and killing. How are they any different from those ignorant and vulgar men on the grassland who pride themselves on their bravery all day long? the difference?
Pooh--
shallow!
How can the Junzi Camp accommodate these ignorant and vulgar fools?
For this reason, this group of people also made trouble with Meng Yu several times, and Meng Yu was also very confused. I can only comfort them with kind words and tell them that this group of people came to our Junzi Camp for gilding, and they left after feeling the gentlemanly style of our Junzi Camp.
Our mission is to let them know what it means to be a gentleman in the military and what it means to be elegant and graceful - in short, to open their eyes so that when they go outside, they will not lose face because of their short-sightedness.
Our Gentleman’s Camp is a gentleman’s camp. To be too truthful is to be disrespectful to a gentleman.
When everyone heard this, they thought this was absolutely impossible, so they gave up.
In order to consolidate the effect - ahem, in order to deepen the influence of Da Qin culture, Meng Yu specially organized several poetry mountain literary gatherings. He personally appeared and invited several Confucian disciples to sit and discuss Taoism with everyone, recite poems and play music. Yale wears gorgeous costumes and holds extremely complicated social etiquette.
Everyone was delighted.
We must let those vulgar and uncivilized people see what it means to be a distinguished gentleman and what it means to be an army of refined men.
"Great Qin is indeed a prosperous culture and a state of etiquette, which is not comparable to the land of barbarians and barbarian people!"
Strong cultural confidence and pride instantly occupy the high ground.
During this period of time, Mengyu practiced these complicated etiquette every day, learned these elegant aristocratic joys, and increasingly felt the powerful charm of the Central Plains culture.
Every move has a hint of "gentleman" style.
The most striking feature is that he has gradually become addicted to playing with flowers and plants, copying calligraphy and painting, reciting the Book of Songs, studying knowledge, and likes wide robes and long sleeves, and Eguan and Bo belts. He even invited his husband to learn the piano from him.
Sometimes I can sit on the floor with my husband and play chess all day long.
He also started to be polite when greeting people.
It's like a different person!
Naturally, these changes cannot be hidden from the family. Suddenly there is something different in the family, and it is impossible not to attract attention. His wife was even more panicked and cried in front of Meng Wu and Meng Yi.
"Our Meng family has been passed down by martial arts from generation to generation, and many of our ancestors have been buried in horse leather. Now that we are here in Mengyu, it might not be a bad thing if one of them can take a new path - let him go..."
Mengwu sealed the coffin and concluded.
Although the family members felt that their little brother had become strange, they just let it go.
Even Meng Yu, who was born in the Meng family and received family education since childhood, is like this. Not to mention those children of the Yuezhi nobles who have longed for the culture of the Central Plains since childhood. It is difficult to think without confusion.
They truly feel that what they have learned is the truly elegant, civilized, and noble lifestyle of the upper class!
Full of pride in everything I have now.
Even when I eat without saying a word, even when I eat with chopsticks, I feel that it tastes more delicious than eating with a knife and fork, and is full of the connotation of a true gentleman!
They looked at the new diners as if they were idiots, and the new diners looked at them as if they were the same.
Therefore, even though they are in the same camp, everyone despises each other tacitly, and then they have nothing to do with each other.
Zhao Ying went to visit a few times and encouraged both parties, but then he didn't go there much. However, he secretly sent Meng Yu a fine guqin and many Confucian and Mohist instruments as gifts. books.
Meng Yu was overjoyed.
After Meng Wu and Meng Yi heard about it, they sighed silently and remained silent in tacit agreement.
…
Although time has gradually passed and it has become closer and closer to the turning point in the original history of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor is still alive and life is still calm.
Although Zhao Ying no longer had high hopes that the First Emperor could develop Qi sense, he still went to the palace early every morning and practiced Tai Chi honestly with the First Emperor.
It is worth mentioning that in order to create an atmosphere for practicing boxing for the First Emperor, he took the time to teach Concubine Zheng. Therefore, now every morning, the number of people practicing boxing has increased from two to three.
The First Emperor didn't say anything.
This little thing's little intention of rubbing him and Concubine Zheng together was so obvious that it was almost engraved on his forehead. How could he not know?
As for Concubine Zheng, seeing Zhao Ying's eyes, she became even more kind.
What a sensible child!
Still handsome--
Like me!
I don’t know if it’s the effect of practicing Tai Chi continuously. After practicing for a period of time, Concubine Zheng’s complexion has improved a lot, and even her skin has become firm and shiny.
She is in her forties and looks just like a young woman in her early thirties.
Even the eyes of the First Emperor looking at her were a little softer. Looking at that posture, Zhao Ying felt that maybe he would have to have another little uncle after a while.
It’s time to add some good supplements to the meals in the kitchen.
…
The days flew by and it was the sixth day of August, the first night before he was to marry Li Shu.
"Your Highness, news from Mobei——"
Zhang Liang walked in quickly holding a letter. When Zhao Ying heard this, his heart moved. He reached out to take it, opened it, and couldn't help but smile.
This is the first letter Xiang Yu and his disciples sent back after entering the grassland.
When this letter was sent, they had successfully taken over a cavalry force composed of Yuezhi and Huns, totaling 2,000 people.
The composition of these people was complex and they came from different tribes, but they were all strong and young, and all of them were riding two horses, holding swords and arrows, and wearing leather armor.
On the grassland, he would definitely be a first-class elite.
From then on, this mixed formation had a new name, the remnants of the Yuezhi - the Tuyu Tribe!
That day, they marched quickly and raided a small tribe near Tuge, completing their first expansion trip after entering the grassland.
…
Zhao Ying came closer to the light, lit the letter on his hand, and watched it turn into ashes. Only then did Zhao Ying look calmly at Zhang Liang, who was still standing with his hands hanging down.
"I've been paying more attention to the news from the grassland lately..."
"promise!"
Zhang Liang didn't ask any more questions, bowed and retreated.
Although he didn't know Xiang Yu's whereabouts, he now served as the Prime Minister of the Champion General's Mansion and handled official duties for Zhao Ying every day. However, he knew that the situation in the grassland was somewhat abnormal recently.
It's quite a bit turbulent and undercurrent.
And His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, who has always been far-sighted and extremely sensitive to the trends in the grassland, showed no response this time. Apparently, he had already made other arrangements——
So, is it Xiang Yu?
Zhang Liang kept this thought deep in his heart and walked as usual to the small courtyard where he lived.
Only this time, after he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he couldn't help but pause slightly, squatted down instantly, and reached out to hold the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Mr. Zhang, don't be nervous, Gao doesn't have any ill intentions..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure stood up under the pavilion in the yard.
Zhao Gao!
Zhang Liang was slightly startled, but his hand slowly released the hilt of the sword.
"Mr. Zhao came to see Zhang at such a late hour. I don't know if he has any advice..."
"Gao Yue would like to ask Mr. Gao to carefully investigate the details of the people who have recently entered the house..."
In the darkness, Zhang Liang couldn't see clearly the expression on Zhao Gao's face, but he immediately grasped the key to the problem.
"Someone wants to do harm to His Highness?"
Zhao Gao nodded slightly and passed by Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Gao's back gradually disappearing into the night, pondered for a long time, and then turned around and returned to his room.
Speaking of which, this was his second face-to-face communication with Zhao Gao.
That time, he and Zhao Gao sat across from each other, chatting and discussing how to deal with the eldest son and the emperor's eldest grandson. But now, in just a few months, they have changed beyond recognition.
Zhao Gao is no longer the high-ranking and powerful Zhao Gao who won the trust of His Majesty and was respected as Zhao's master by the eighteenth son Hu Hai, and he is no longer the Zhang Liang who ran around and shouted, determined to overthrow the violent Qin.
Strictly speaking, the situation that he and Zhao Gao were in today had nothing to do with the emperor's eldest grandson, but even so, the two of them had to hold on to their own thoughts and invariably guard the emperor's eldest grandson.
He didn't know what Zhao Gao was feeling at this time, but he knew that his feelings were a bit hard to describe.
In the darkness, he took a long breath, suppressed these complicated thoughts in his heart, skillfully touched the fire sickle on the table, and lit the oil lamp.
The orange light instantly filled the somewhat empty room, and also shone on a colorful glass product.
It was a glass lamp that was more than a foot tall and completely green, with no flaws to be found.
Put it outside, it's absolutely stunning.
Now, it was placed so casually on his desk, like a simple and dispensable ornament.
Zhang Liang's eyes subconsciously stayed on the glass lamp given by the emperor's eldest grandson for a while, then he looked away and sat down with a calm expression.
For someone as cautious as Zhao Gao to take the risk and come to remind him late at night, it must be a big deal, and he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
After taking out the list of newly hired personnel in the house in recent months, Zhang Liang looked at them one by one with deep eyes.
He wanted to identify the suspicious manpower as quickly as possible.
…
Zhao Ying didn't know this because he was getting a wife again.
Although it was a concubine, under the instructions of the First Emperor, almost everything followed the process of marrying a wife. After all, although Li Xin had been silent for a few years, he was once a good general of the Qin Dynasty who was famous all over the world. Now, he is sitting on the grassland. , and the Li family behind him is also full of stars and talented people.
No one dares to look down on the Li family just because Li Shu is not the official wife.
The eldest son's residence was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and General Li Xin's residence was also filled with joy. Not long after, Zhao Ying returned home with a beauty in his arms again, which became a good story among the people of Xianyang.
Of course, it also made countless second-generation dudes in Xianyang secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Shu, the devil, finally got married!
Fortunately!
I wish I could hold my head and cry.
In recent years, Li Shu has been tortured a lot, and it can almost be regarded as the shadow of the childhood of many dandies.
Regarding Li Shu, they were a little helpless.
Although Li Xin is lonely and lonely, as long as the First Emperor does not punish him, he will still be the great general of the Qin Dynasty, and the Li family will still be the top noble of the Qin Dynasty.
Everyone is still in the same circle.
Even if the family is not afraid of the Li family and can even manipulate the Li family, so what? You, a great man, were beaten by a girl when you went out. Do you have the nerve to seek revenge from your family?
It's embarrassing to tell anyone.
Of course, you can't afford to lose that person in your family. Unless Li Shu was cruel and had her legs broken and her arms broken, or she was lying in bed unable to get out of bed for several months.
But the problem is, Li Shu is arrogant, not stupid. She whips her every time, and the whipping is painful and embarrassing. It is true that everyone is embarrassed, but she is not cruel.
Therefore, everyone has a headache.
Now that the trouble is finally over, the gifts given to Zhao Ying are much more sincere.
Outside the bridal chamber, Zhao Ying paused slightly, thinking of the various legends about Li Shu in the second generation of Xianyang, as well as the fear and almost morbid admiration of Li Shu in this body's predecessor, a smile could not help but appear on his lips.
"I am worthy of you and helped you marry the Iceberg Queen..."
"Madam, I'm here -"
Zhao Ying creaked, pushed open the door, waved his hand, dismissed the maids and servants waiting nearby, then turned around and closed the door.
Seeing the former aloof Iceberg Queen, with a shy face and gleaming eyes, sitting on the bed waiting for him asking for anything, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and a different kind of desire to conquer arose.
…
The wind is very noisy tonight.
The chirping of insects and the chirping of cicadas continued all night long, and the belated crescent moon shyly hid behind the treetops, trying to catch a glimpse of the joy of this world.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ying woke up on time.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel refreshed when he saw Li Shu, with her hair disheveled and curled up in his arms like soft jade. Although he went crazy overnight, his body is now so strong that it is shocking that a little exercise will not affect his condition the next day at all.
He rubbed the beauty in his arms with some aftertaste and turned over to get up.
Li Shu, who was awakened by Zhao Ying, still hadn't woken up from her shyness last night. She stretched out her jade arms, grabbed the scattered clothes on the bedside and hid under the quilt, making Zhao Ying laugh.
Hearing the noise coming from the room, the maid servant who had been waiting outside the door for a long time apologized, pushed the door in, and helped the two of them get up. After washing up, Zhao Ying took Li Shu and went to pay his respects to Mi Ji.
Looking at Li Shu, who had some difficulty moving, Wang Nan secretly rolled his eyes at Zhao Ying, stepped forward to hold Li Shu's arm, and took the opportunity to whisper in Li Shu's ear.
"My sister has worked hard all night..."
Li Shu's pretty face suddenly turned blood red, and she secretly pinched Wang Nan's waist shyly.
Zhao Ying:......
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.
Alas, my hearing is very good, but it’s also quite troublesome. Sometimes, even if you don’t want to hear it, words will be put into your ears. What should I do? After paying homage to Mi Ji, Zhao Ying took Li Shu to the palace.
When a bride gets married, she naturally has to go to the palace to pay her respects to the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng.
It seemed that they had expected the arrival of the two people early this morning. The First Emperor and Concubine Zheng wore regular clothes early in the morning and sat in front of several tables to wait.
