Chapter Nineteen Spring Dream Geometry
At the school grounds outside the county, Zhang Shiyan was competing in martial arts with Bei Gongchun. Zhang Shiyan was eight feet tall and had a tall and burly figure, but Bei Gongchun was even bigger, nine feet tall, with a dark face, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a burly figure.
Compared to the broad-shouldered general Beigong Chun, Zhang Shiyan appears to be slightly inferior in strength. If it were a brute force fight, there would be no second Beigong Chun among the military generals in the dynasty. However, Zhang Shiyan's moves are more flexible, and his long spear and short sword are as fast as lightning.
, after thirty rounds, there was no clear winner between the two of them, both were sweating profusely.
"Chun'er, your swordsmanship is not good..." Zhang Shiyan laughed and said, but Bei Gongchun said proudly, "But Mr. Ming still can't kill me!" The two fought heartily.
At dusk, Zhang Shiyan left Bei Gongchun back home for a drink, "Hexi Langkou still needs to be guarded by you, so you have to be careful." Although Bei Gongchun was brave, his strategy was poor, and he looked down on the scholar Song Pei.
In the past, Zhang Shiyan asked counselors Song Pei and Bei Gongchun to work together, but they always had more force than strategy. When they went to the battlefield to charge, Bei Gongchun always put Song Pei aside and couldn't listen to his strategies. Later, Zhang Shiyan had to control it himself.
Hold him.
"Don't worry, Ming Gong. Now that I am good at strategy, I will always control my temper."
Zhang Shiyan knocked him on the head and said, "Suppress your temper? You went to kill 10,000 Xianbei soldiers?" It's hard to say that the Xianbei thieves who caused chaos in Liangzhou didn't come here to seek revenge...
"Your reckless behavior made them focus on Liangzhou. You are my Zhang family's cavalry. I asked you to go to the Hexi Corridor to keep an eye on Xianbei's invasion of the north. You led troops to suppress the bandits without asking anyone to retaliate against me.
, Liangzhou is even more chaotic now!" Zhang Shiyan scolded sternly, "If you have the idea of fighting again and do things without thinking, I will cut off your head and hang it on the city wall!"
Bei Gongchun didn't know that the Xianbei people pretended to be merchants and sneaked into Liangzhou to burn, kill and loot. He blamed himself endlessly. If the merits and demerits were equal, he would only be punished but not rewarded. The mistake he made because of his recklessness would be enough to cut off three heads.
"Ming Gong, please calm down..." Beigong Chun realized his mistake and blamed himself. He pulled out the short dagger from his waist, unsheathed the knife and thrust it straight into his chest. Just when the sword was about to pierce his chest, the dagger was kicked by Zhang Shiyan.
After that, Zhang Shiyan just said solemnly: "If you don't have a long memory, you, a reckless man, will die not only by the enemy's sword, but also by my hands!"
The sturdy man knelt in the hall in front of the table and lowered his head: "I understand!"
"I'll let Song Pei cut off your head." Zhang Shiyan said this lightly, sat back at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and the big man turned away his head and said in a rough voice, "I don't want to cut off your head, so I will."
Don't cut off that scholar's head." The best way to humiliate a general is to let a weak scholar end his dignity.
"how?"
"You don't like Song Pei?"
Bei Gongchun stopped talking and just turned his head away.
Seeing his angry and regretful look, Zhang Shiyan said, "Get up, let's go to the table and eat." Bei Gongchun couldn't bear to listen and just turned his drooped head to the other side angrily.
There was a table full of delicious food, but Zhang Shiyan had no appetite at all. He put down his bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that the young master was not eating, Shuizhi stepped forward and asked, "Master, is there no delicious food?" Zhang Shiyan shook his head, "No."
Beigong Chun thought that Zhang Shiyan's anger had not subsided, so he got up and tied his arms, kneeling in the courtyard to get up.
Shui Zhi poured tea and water for the young master: "Maybe you are tired from training today?"
Zhang Shiyan shook his head, "Please take away the food, I don't want to eat it," he sighed unconsciously, "The young master sighs every day, and always turns over and sleeps at night. Why can't the prescription prescribed by the miracle doctor aunt be effective?"
"Auntie the miracle doctor..." Zhang Shiyan read softly... He got up and went back to the study. He slept little at night, tossing and turning. When he opened his eyes and closed them, the woman with her face covered by a scarf would always appear. I had never seen her smile before...
What does she look like?
She hides her face like an orchid in a deep valley. The orchid is so quiet and noble, and her eyes are firm and fearless. What kind of woman is she?
Her voice is not like Lady Miaoyin's, but it is extremely pleasant. Her fingers are extremely flexible and slender. How does it feel to hold it so softly in your hand?
Why did she sometimes sound disgusted with him, but sometimes be polite to him?
Sometimes you pay attention to him, sometimes you turn a blind eye?
Turning over and over again, Zhang Shiyan couldn't figure it out. When Shuizhi heard that the young master was always turning over, he asked, "Young master can't sleep?"
"Do you need Shuizhi to help the young master rub it?"
In the past, when Zhang Shiyan was tired from work, he would call Shuizhi to help him loosen his muscles and bones, but "it didn't work," Zhang Shiyan said.
"You go to bed early and don't worry about me."
Shui Zhi had no choice but to lie down quietly and said bravely: "Young Master can't get up at night to go to Liyuan Garden. Mr. Fan got slapped by the old lady, and now his buttocks are still swollen..."
It started to rain at night, and the patter of rain outside the window came. Zhang Shiyan was lying on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all. He heard Shuizhi getting up to close the window, and the sound of the window being closed. "When is it?" Zhang Shiyan asked.
Shuizhi thought the young master had fallen asleep, but she didn't expect that he hadn't fallen asleep yet. "It's just midnight, young master." Shuizhi said again, "The old lady and the young lady have told Shuizhi to watch you. I can't sleep at night."
You are not allowed to go to the garden to listen to music."
"Young Madam?" Zhang Shiyan wondered, "Whose Young Madam?"
Shuizhi said: "Young master, she will be here in a few days anyway, and the servants at home will treat her as a young lady." There was a hint of jealousy in her words.
"You mean Fumei?" Zhang Shiyan forgot that Fumei had not gone back yet and was still living in the backyard. He sighed again, "I will not marry Xinfu..." After hearing this, Shuizhi raised his eyebrows secretly.
He asked, "If the young master doesn't marry Miss Xin, what will happen to this marriage?"
Zhang Shiyan also thought in his heart, yes, what should Xin Fu do? She has been clinging to him since she was a child. Unexpectedly, he wanted to marry her, but he didn't like her at all. If he married her, he would stay alone in the empty house. If he said he liked her, Xin Fu
Fu is not as good as the girl in the garden to please him.
Accompanied by the patter of rain and endless worries, Zhang Shiyan gradually closed his eyelids and fell asleep slowly. In his dream, he was listening to music in the pear garden. A new girl came to the garden, covered with a silk scarf.
Face, with an attractive posture, lying in Zhang Shiyan's arms, smiling happily, turned around, but it was He Gu...
But in the dream, he was very happy and fell asleep hugging this "new girl".
When I woke up in the morning, I felt that this dream was extremely absurd. How could I go to the garden to sing?
Throughout the day, this dream lingered in Zhang Shiyan's mind countless times, thinking about it over and over again, and it lingered on.
"The young master only ate three mouthfuls of porridge today. He didn't eat at night. He drank some tea and then approved." Shui Zhi was worried. Normally, the young master has a good appetite. What's wrong these days, he always frowns and sighs, "
I am also very excited when grading the papers. If the young master is tired, let Mr. Song do the marking."
At this point, Zhang Shiyan remembered that Song Pei had gone to Nuji Mountain and he had not come back.
"You go down first, Shuizhi."
Zhang Shiyan called the secret guard at home, "How is the miracle doctor doing lately?"
"Alright."
Zhang Shiyan asked Song Pei in detail how he went up the mountain.
That night, Song Pei appeared in his dream, and the "new girl" was in Song Pei's arms.
When I woke up the next day, I found it even more ridiculous. Song Pei never went to such sensual places.
At noon, Zhang Shiyan returned home from the school grounds and was about to change his armor and go to the pharmacy to settle accounts. Xin Fu went from the backyard to the east wing to look for him. The dazzling white gauze on her head had been removed, and there was no trace of injury.
"Fu Mei?" Zhang Shiyan was changing clothes, and Xin Fu stepped forward to help, "If I can't help Fu Mei, my armor is covered with sand. Don't dirty my sister's clean clothes."
"When did my sister's gauze scarf be removed? Do you feel any discomfort?" Zhang Shiyan took off his outer armor and asked.
Gauze."
Zhang Shiyan was a little surprised: "Auntie is here?"
"Auntie?" Who is it? Xin Fu stepped forward and wiped the sweat off her brother's face carefully with the towel. Zhang Shiyan couldn't adapt to her appearance, so he took the towel and preached, "I will do it myself. You have just recovered from a serious illness.
It’s still weak, so get more rest and don’t do anything hard.”
"Brother Shiyan, where are you going to change clothes?" Xinfu just didn't like him going to Liyuanzi, so she cried a lot at the old lady's place, and the old lady rewarded Fan Yuan with a few boards before she gave up.
Zhang Shiyan didn't like Xin Fu restraining her, "Don't ask too much about my brother's affairs, and don't interfere too much."
