Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 208
The first New Year in Saga Mountain Biye was lively and warm.

However, after the Lantern Festival on the 20th day of the first lunar month, there were more than 30 young and lively young men in Bieye, and the other ten selected young men were full of more than [-] people. Brings a hustle and bustle.

A few stewards in their thirties and 40s who were stable and healthy suppressed these restless young people, and divided them into three teams, each team had the same number of young people and young people.They require these people to learn etiquette and rules, and to accept their cultural and arithmetic courses, but most of the time every day, they have to follow the Ding team of the pro-guards to wait for others, learning riding, shooting, boxing and kicking kung fu, if they learn well , You can learn weapons.The three teams compete against each other, rewarding the best performers and punishing the worst performers.If someone's performance is really bad, they will be eliminated after three months.

Although the teenagers have heard this matter from their parents and seniors, but now they really heard what the stewards said, how can they admit defeat in their hearts?Everyone feels that they will never be the ones eliminated, and when you look at each other, you will stare at me, and I will say a few harsh words to you, and you will be excited from scalp to heel.

But the excitement didn't last long.Captain Ding and his two personal guards were very strict, even if they were just leading the young people to run and stand, they were exhausted like dogs.In the evening, they couldn't help but began to complain.The original excitement was almost gone.

Those who can be selected are all children from families who do not have to worry about food and clothing.The young man has good facial features, a strong body, and is born smart. He has been loved by his family since he was a child, and he has never suffered much.Even if it is the one who is least liked by the family members, it is only slightly worse than the brothers in terms of food, clothing and treatment, and they just listen to a few sarcastic remarks.They had never experienced such intense physical exercise.

As soon as the young people returned to the room, they all spread out on the heated kang, and those who did not compete for the heated kang could still lie on the floor.The women in charge of heating the hot water urged them back and forth three times before driving everyone into the bathhouse for a hot bath.When the teenagers washed up and came to eat in the specially opened canteen, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was meat in the dinner!
At lunch, everyone just ate a few extra pancakes and added a bowl of broth.There will be a large piece of meat for dinner, and everyone can guarantee two large pieces!

The teenagers immediately forgot how tired their bodies were, and rushed forward, sweeping away their portion of dinner.After eating, they still felt that there was not enough, so they looked at other people who hadn't finished eating, trying to grab two more bites of meat back, so the scramble among the teenagers started again.It's just because those who ate there at the same time, as well as the stewards and the masters of the personal guards, they didn't dare to go too far, so they didn't really make a fuss.

On the contrary, the stewards liked to see their lively appearance.One of them even chatted with Team Ding: "At first I thought these boys would not be able to stand the drill, but I didn't expect to be so energetic when eating, so I was relieved. Team Ding is really experienced and knows how to adjust| Teach these boys. With your teachings, they will be transformed in no time."

Team Ding just smiled: "This is just the beginning, there will be hard times for them in the future, let's see if they can make it through."

The steward hurriedly smiled along with Ying, looking back at the group of young people who didn't know what they were going to face in the future, they couldn't help feeling a little pity in their hearts.He secretly rejoiced that his son was too old and his grandson was not old enough. Although it was a pity that he missed this opportunity, at least the children would not have to suffer...

The members of the pro-guard team and Team Ding were talking in private, but they had different opinions: "There are a few boys in there, all of whom are good materials. After a few years of serious training, I am afraid that they will not be worse than our brothers. It is a pity that most of them are not. A slave is a merchant."

Team Ding was saying indifferently: "Although their backgrounds are not good, they have a good master, and their future prospects may not be bad. We have obtained the benefits promised by the two nuns in charge. We just need to teach them carefully."

The guards all laughed when they heard this, and nodded their heads in agreement.

The benefits they get are not small at all.In addition to the two bolts of silk money that she had to get every month, the fourth wife, Li Lijun, also ordered someone to buy three small courtyards in the farm outside Bieye, cleaned them up, and allowed people from their personal guards to pick up the family members in turn every month. come and live.There are 20 people in the personal guards. Except that Team Ding is single with the other person and has no family members, the remaining 18 people come here in rotation. Almost every six months, they can take their family members over for a month to enjoy the family happiness.At that time, they will be on duty in the villa during the day, and they can go back to the small courtyard at night to live, and the board and lodging will be covered by the fourth wife.In addition, the rest and family leave on weekdays remain unchanged.If someone made up his mind to move his family to Sanyuan County, Si Niangzi would also contribute money to help.

This is a rare benefit!

Although Sanyuan County is not as prosperous and lively as Chang'an City, people like them who have to travel for a long time want to enjoy the joy of family reunion. If they want to be lively, they can go to Xianyang City to find them!They are all people with no connections, otherwise they would have found a way to change their errands, and they would not have gone to the countryside to drink the northwest wind.But the life in Saga Mountain was far more comfortable than they expected. There was no need to worry about food and drink, the neighbors were friendly, and they could live with their families. The life was peaceful and clean, and there were no disputes. So what else could be said?
If they were asked to go back to Chang'an Sui Palace now, they might have to hesitate for a while.After all, this foreign business brought them generous rewards and extra benefits from the fourth lady Li Lijun, which the Sui Palace would not provide.

People in the SS are now happy to take new apprentices.Anyway, these teenagers are just learning skills from them, and will not threaten their official positions and errands.Maybe they have learned well, and they can help the guards and share the worries of the masters.Boring in winter, it is also a very interesting pastime to tune|teach the lively teenagers, just for fun.

One of the guards was still somewhat regretful: "I heard that among the boys who came, two of them were picked up by the two nurses in charge as soon as they arrived. Those two children are good seedlings, but it's a pity that they didn't fall into our hands."

He was referring to Nanny Lu's nephew Lu Siyun and Nanny Cui's eldest grandson Cui Xiaoji.As soon as the former arrived, she was taken by Nanny Lu to join Mrs. Zhao from the forest farm, and together they went into the inner house to meet the little lady.The latter was brought by Nanny Cui, first let him go to the accountant to study, and in the future he will be taught how to treat people, preparing to learn to be a steward of the outer courtyard in the future.

No one wondered why the arrangements for the two teenagers were different.They were all taken away by their own blood elders, how could the elders still lose them?
Cui Xiaoji didn't think much about it at all.The young boy who is not yet ten years old is full of joy.Although coming to Sanyuan means that he will be separated from his father, he can be reunited with his grandmother and mother!A child with a mother is the happiest. Does he need to worry about other things?

It's just that Lu Siyun doubted his life on the first day he arrived at Saga Mountain Biye.

He never knew that there really are immortals in this world, and mortals can still cultivate immortals.His grandfather once told him that he met a liar who claimed to be able to conjure ghosts on the business road, what kind of flaws would the liar reveal, and how should they deal with it.

But Lu Siyun really doesn't know now, how he should deal with the little lady Li Lijun lifting him three feet high as a magic demonstration to prove that he can really cultivate immortals.
