Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 103 Baizhang Chuan Yang

   Uncle Qiu, who had escaped the catastrophe, calmed his mind and introduced Erye Jiang, "Second Master, this is the master of cavalry and archery recommended by General Zhong Lei, Lu Dingyun."

  When Jiang Qiu sent Yayin and Jiang Bao to Youxiaowei, he wrote that he trusted Dingyuan General Lu Zhifang to find a horse-shooting master to teach the young master how to do it, and entrusted him to send it in in the name of Jiang Erye's cousin Zhong Lei. Jiang Erye also knew about this, and when they met, he immediately believed that Lu Dingyun was a serious cavalry and archer, and saluted, "Little brother Jiang Feng has lost his way, please forgive me, Brother Lu."

   At the age of about forty, Lu Dingyun, who had sword-brows, tiger eyes and beards, did not expect that Jiang Erye was not only beautiful in life, but also treated him so politely.

   "If Brother Lu doesn't dislike it, let's treat each other as brothers." Jiang Erye kindly took the arrow in Lu Dingyun's hand, handed it over to Jiang Hou'er, and asked with a smile, "Brother Lu will look back at the moon?"

   Seeing that Lu Dingyun was puzzled, Jiang Qiu explained in a low voice, "Just turn your back and shoot arrows."

   It turned out to be a test to teach him his skills, Lu Dingyun nodded and raised his hand, "Lu is bold enough to borrow the second master's bow and arrow."

  Jiang Erye immediately handed over the bow and arrow, watching Lu Dingyun's feet didn't move, he was playing with the bow, and he was an arrow on the side.

   Jiang Erye called out his magical skills, "Big Brother Lu can possibly penetrate Yang with a hundred steps?"

  Lu Dingyun answered very seriously, "Yes, yes, but if you want to pierce Yang with a hundred steps, such a goose feather arrow is not hard enough, and the shaft will float if the range exceeds fifty steps..."

   "Master said why he always misses the target, it turned out to be the problem with the arrow!" Jiang Erye finally found the reason why his archery always missed the target.

   "That's it!" Jiang Hou'er immediately followed.

   "No..." Lu Dingyun wanted to say that the goose feather arrows were enough for shooting arrows in this yard, but Jiang Qiu pulled him and motioned him not to speak.

   Jiang Erye asked Lu Dingyun curiously, "What kind of arrow feathers does Brother Lu use in the army?"

  Lu Dingyun replied, "A certain arrow with carved feathers and phoenix feathers, if there is no strong wind, the range can reach a hundred meters..."

   "Baizhang?!" Jiang Erye widened his peach blossom eyes. What is a hundred steps through Yang, his brother Lu's range is a hundred feet! "Big Brother Lu, the younger brother will also use the Eagle Feather Arrow!"

   "No, Second Master!" Jiang Hou'er screamed. Second Master's use of goose feathers was enough to kill him. If he changed it to carved feathers, he feared that there would be no more chickens and dogs in the house.

  Jiang Qiu's scalp was also numb, and he said quickly, "Second Master has to practice goose feather arrows before you can practice feather arrow carving, isn't it, Brother Lu?"

   Hearing that Jiang Qiu, who was older than him, called himself Big Brother, his tone was obviously pleading, so Lu Dingyun had to follow, "The reasoning should be like this..."

  The people in the courtyard smiled when they heard this, but Jiang Erye was disappointed, "Well, my brother will practice goose feather arrows with Big Brother Lu first, please give me more advice from the master."

   After saying that, Second Master Jiang bowed and bowed.

  Lu Dingyun was so frightened that he stepped aside, completely confused, "Don't dare. However, a certain person was entrusted by General Zhong to teach Young Master Jiang Ling of your house..."

  Jiang Qiu corrected, "Master Lu wants to teach Second Master and Young Master Ling to practice arrows. Don't worry, Shu Xiu will never treat you badly."

   Before Lu Dingyun could speak, Huyantu suddenly jumped in from outside the courtyard door, "Could it be that this is the newly invited master to teach Erye's riding and archery?"

   "Lu Mou is not..."

   Before Lu Dingyun finished speaking, Jiang Erye jumped up in front of Huyantu and said arrogantly, "Not bad! Master Lu can pierce Yang at a hundred feet, and he will teach him to ride and shoot in the future!"

   "Congratulations to the second master for finding a good teacher! In the future, I won't have to teach you how to mount and shoot, right?" Huyantu was so excited that his beard was shaking.

   Jiang Erye nodded arrogantly, "Master first learns to wear Yang Baizhang, and then learn to look back at the moon."

  Huyantu gratefully held Lu Dingyun's hand and said, "Okay! In the future, I will specialize in teaching Young Master Ling. The second master has worked hard for Brother Lu here."

   "No, in addition to the second master, a certain person also has to teach Young Master Ling." Lu Dingyun's keen intuition of fighting on the battlefield all the year round made Lu Dingyun feel that something was wrong, and wanted to hold the barbarian with a straight nose to explain it clearly.

  Huyantu shrank back to avoid him, pretended not to hear what he said, and ran away in a gust of wind.

   "Uncle Qiu has settled Master Lu well, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation must be in place." Jiang Erye finished his instructions, threw down the bow and arrow and ran to the study to find his own elder brother.

   "Brother, I want to buy a eagle, a phoenix, a feather and an arrow." Jiang Erye shouted as he entered the room.

   Jiang Song frowned, "Where can I buy it?"

   Yes, such an important question was not asked clearly. Jiang Erye patted his forehead, turned around and ran.

   "Stop!" Jiang Song shouted, pointing to the chair next to him, "Sit."

   Jiang Erye sat down honestly and looked at his eldest brother happily.

  Jiang Song pursed his lips and said softly, "Early morning, Mr. Qiao Ge presented the old book to Wansui for the third time, and recommended Du Hai'an to enter the Qingwen Hall to share his worries for Wansui."

  The doctor is on his seventieth birthday, and Qiao Ge is sixty-nine this year, so he can retire and return to his hometown. He handed in the old book twice a year ago, and he kept it. There are only three things to do. This time Long Live should let him go. This is nothing to be surprised. Jiang Erye asked, "Why are you worried about this?"

  Jiang Song frowned, "There is no news from the DPRK about who will take over the post of Minister of Punishment. Theoretically, Mr. Du should propose a candidate to succeed him."

   Jiang Erye also frowned, "Big brother, is it possible that Meng Huizhou might be promoted to the Minister of Punishment?"

  If this is the case, isn't the eldest brother's poison in vain!

   I’m afraid that’s the case. Jiang Song raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "You have given up writing to martial arts. Brother Yu intends to go back to the yamen to work on the 20th of the first month. He always stays in the house, and the news is really blocked."

   Jiang Erye hurriedly stopped, "The Queen Mother's funeral, the Ministry of Rites, Zongzheng Temple and Honglu Temple will be too busy to touch the ground, the eldest brother's body has not recovered, how can I bear it when I go back now."

Jiang Song had already made up his mind, "Now is the time to hire people in the yamen, so it's natural for me to go back. If the queen mother returns after the funeral, my colleagues will be dissatisfied. Second brother, you have to practice martial arts well. "

   Once Meng Huizhou was promoted to the Minister of Punishment, the situation would be turned upside down, and the Jiang family would be completely passive. Jiang Erye also felt the pressure on his shoulders and said seriously, "Big brother, don't worry, younger brother will work hard to learn arrows with Master Lu."

  Jiang Song nodded in relief, "Apart from practicing arrows, the Seven Classics of Martial Arts cannot be left behind. Brother Yu is not good at this, and will invite a good teacher to teach you the Seven Classics as soon as possible."

   By the way, there are also the meanings and strategies of the Seven Books of Wujing. Jiang Erye suddenly felt that a spoonful of cold water was poured on his head, and his whole body was uncomfortable. He secretly looked at it, and the seven classics were piled up in a thick pile, how could they be stuffed into his head.

   After the second brother left, Jiang Song discussed with the old housekeeper, "Uncle Hou also sent people to inquire around to see if there is a suitable person in the city."

The old butler said bluntly, "People who understand the Seven Books of Wujing are harder to find than those who understand the Four Books and the Five Classics, but you can find them. Whether people are willing to teach the second master is one aspect, and Shuxiu is afraid that it will not be inferior. With the second master's temperament , I am afraid that you have paid a lot of money to invite a good teacher, and he may not be able to listen."

   Jiang Song also had a headache, "According to your old opinion, what should I do?"

   The old butler said cheerfully, "You might as well ask Jiang Qiu, he should have some ideas."
