Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 346 The Marquis invites you
In November of the seventh year of the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhanshifu Yamen was established to the east of the Hanlin Academy in Nanxunfang, which is the Dongjiaominxiang area in later generations.

When Ou Zanghua arrived at the Zhanshi Mansion, he found that the person in charge was a middle-aged man with a calm temperament and elegant behavior.

"Your humble servant, Junior Secretary Gu Qing from the Chancellery, is honored to meet Lord Ou." Gu Qing walked forward and bowed.

This person's figure is like the bright moon between pines, clear and gentle. His behavior is like flowing clouds and running water, showing his elegance.

"So it's Mr. Dongjiang in person. I should have come earlier." Ou Zanghua said in return with a smile.

Gu Qing smiled and led Ou Zanghua into the Zhanshi Mansion.

Xie Qian's description of Gu Qing is very apt. This man has principles when dealing with things and is a gentleman.

When he was presiding over the provincial examination in Yingtian Prefecture, someone reminded him that he could temporarily rely on Liu Jin in order to seek a high position and realize his personal ambitions, but he sternly refused, thus offending Liu Jin.

So Liu Jin made a slight move and Gu Qing was sent to Yingtian Prefecture to serve as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of War.

He was not reinstated until Liu Jin was executed.

When there was a crown prince, the job of the Chancellery was to lecture the crown prince on books such as "Shangshu", "Spring and Autumn Annals", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Daxue Yanyi", and "Zhenguan Zhengyao".

Of course, before the explanation, the contents of the book must first be compiled into chapters and presented to the emperor for his perusal, and then he can go to the Wenhua Hall to read it for the prince.

Therefore, it is still somewhat difficult to bring in private ideas when lecturing the prince.

Unless you meet Wanli and Taichang.

Because Wanli's favorite son was Zhu Changxun, in order to help his son become the crown prince, he deliberately did not allow Zhu Changluo to go out of the palace to give lectures and receive education.

Taichang.
I don’t even have any educational resources, let alone expect to provide high-quality services to Apocalypse.

"After the explanation, the Chancellor will need to lead his subordinates to report to the Crown Prince the court's decisions on military and national affairs, as well as the appeasement and gratitude toward foreign vassals." Gu Qing calmly recounted the various tasks of the Chancellery, much like a handover ceremony.

Ou Zanghua didn’t care much about it at first. Others didn’t know whether this yard had an owner, so how could he not know?
However, Gu Qing's words seemed to have some kind of magic, which could make what he wanted to express flow through other people's memories like water, and then leave some traces.

This person is really born to be a teacher, what a pity.

After saying goodbye to Gu Qing, Ou Zanghua looked at the time and was too lazy to go to the Honglu Temple again, so he chose to go home and accompany his wife.

Liu Qing has been pregnant for three months. Her belly is gradually bulging, and she is still as sleepy as before. After waking up, in addition to wanting to eat, she also makes some very tricky requests.

Thanks to watching a lot of short videos in his previous life, Ou Zanghua learned all kinds of little-known facts, so he knew that this was caused by endocrine disorders and increased estrogen and progesterone after pregnancy, which made the emotions very unstable.

For example, during the Chinese New Year, Liu Qing wanted to ride a horse in the snow because she wanted to hear the sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow.

This is fortunately satisfactory, as there are plenty of docile ponies in the capital, and there is no shortage of snow in the north.

As soon as Ou Zanghua returned home today, Hua An ran over and said with a sad face, "Master, you are finally back. For some reason, Madam wanted to jump from a high place today. If the old lady hadn't been here, she would have climbed up the rockery by herself."

Ou Zanghua's heart suddenly tightened and he hurried across the corridor to the backyard. What caught his eyes was a ridiculous scene in the hall.

Liu Qing sat there obediently, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, it was heartbreaking to watch.

Madam Ouyang stood beside her and pointed at her daughter's head angrily: "What on earth are you thinking about? Can you jump?!"

After hearing this, Liu Qing's tears not only did not stop, but became more violent. She raised her head stubbornly and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve. Although her voice was choked with sobs, she was firm: "Mom, I have learned Qinggong, I believe I can do it!"

"Am I talking about Qinggong?!" Madam Ouyang raised her voice. Liu Qing was frightened by this shout and sobbed softly, "Mother, you yelled at me!"

Ou Zanghua quickly stepped forward, stood between the mother and daughter, and said with an apologetic smile: "Mother, calm down, leave it to me! I'll do it, I'll do it."

"Just follow her and make trouble! What girl wants to ride a horse when she is pregnant?" Mrs. Ouyang glared at Ou Zanghua, turned around and left angrily.

"Husband." Liu Qing looked up at Ou Zanghua, feeling so aggrieved.

Ou Zanghua patted her head, half squatted down and asked softly: "Why do you want to practice Qinggong today?"

"I didn't want to practice martial arts, but when I saw the fish-catching stork flying by, I wanted to fly too." Liu Qing looked at Ou Zanghua and said softly.

"Okay, I'll take you flying." Ou Zanghua nodded with a smile and asked, "Are you ready, Lady Hengshan?"

"Yeah!" Liu Qing burst into laughter and nodded excitedly.

Ou Zanghua then picked her up like a princess and said, "Hold her tight!"

Then he pushed off with his feet and performed the "Light Body Riding the Wind, Flying Horse Stepping on Swallows" technique.

The two of them seemed to blend into the breeze around them, graceful and unrestrained like fairies.

The tip of her toes lightly touched the rockery, yet it seemed as light as if it did not touch the ground. Every leap was accompanied by fluttering clothes, like flowing clouds chasing the moon, free and unrestrained.

Looking down at Liu Qing who was smiling brightly, Ou Zanghua took a deep breath again, used the roof as leverage, floated to the highest point, spun twice and fell down, then stepped on the water and flew to the other side.

He held his wife in his arms and spun gracefully around the courtyard for several times before leisurely returning to the living room. A group of maids hurriedly gathered around him and saw that Liu Qing's cheeks were flushed, like the morning glow reflecting on the snow, and her eyes were shining with an unusually bright light, watery and full of excitement and joy, and it was obvious that she was having a lot of fun.

"How is it? Do you want to fly again?" Ou Zanghua carefully placed Liu Qing on the chair and asked softly.

"It's okay today! Thank you, husband." Liu Qing said happily.

"Qingqing never needs to say thank you to me." Ou Zanghua smiled and touched Liu Qing's head, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was really good at Qinggong, otherwise it would be difficult to pass this level.

Afterwards, Liu Qing ate some food and drank some soup with the help of Shuyan and Huaiwei, and then he felt a little sleepy.

Ou Zanghua first went to burn a stick of incense to the Jiutian Jiansheng Division, and then walked towards the small Buddhist temple on the side.

Half a month ago, Master Dingxian came to the capital with three disciples. Ou Zanghua asked Hua An to vacate three houses next to the backyard for the masters of the Hengshan School to live in.

Hearing the sound of the door, Master Dingxian slowly walked out of her residence. When she saw Master Ou Zanghua, she clasped her hands together in greeting and said gently, "Amitabha, Master Ou, please be at ease. Madam Ou is in good health and in good condition."

Ou Zanghua finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving recognition from professionals.

After having dinner with Yue Lingshan, Ou Zanghua chatted with her for a while before returning to the study, preparing to write a letter to decline the job. Unexpectedly, just as he picked up the pen, Hua An walked in and said, "Master, the steward of the Xianning Marquis's residence has sent an invitation. The Marquis invites you to a gathering tomorrow at noon."

Ou Zanghua paused, and the brush in his hand hung in the air involuntarily. He didn't expect Qiu Yue to invite him so soon.

He and Qiu Yue were comrades who fought side by side on the battlefield in the past, so there was no need for him to avoid him.

So, Ou Zanghua continued writing the memorial and said, "Take the invitation and tell the steward that I will be there tomorrow."

"Yes!" Hua An responded and retreated.
