Chapter 6 Hibiscus Like Jade

Dongdong--

The drum sounded like thunder, resounding throughout Chang'an, the setting sun sank into the mountains, evoking the lights of thousands of homes in Chang'an City.

After playing the last evening drum, Xu Buling sat on the ground next to the bell and drum tower desk, holding the hem of the sleeves with his left hand and slowly grinding it.

The rice paper in the small case is laid flat, and the Qingtian jade paperweight reflects the Chang'an sea of ​​lanterns, and a green lamp is placed on the desk.

Stepping on—

The slight footsteps sounded from the bell and drum tower.

Xu didn't make the ears move slightly, put down the ink strips, and tilted his head slightly:

"who?"

"…Your Highness, it's me..."

The lantern at the corner of the eaves shook lightly in the wind. Inside the bell tower, Song Yufu, wearing a jacket and skirt, walked out carefully with the hem of the skirt, holding a ruler in her hand, and she was deliberately doing very serious expressions on her face, but the little panic in her eyes still betrayed her nervousness.

Xu Buling started to grind ink again:

“Not available.”

Song Yufu's eyes were a little annoyed when she heard this. She pursed her lips, walked to the desk, and took the ruler and said seriously:

"...Why do you say this...I...I am your teacher..."

Xu Buling Shuangyue narrowed her head and looked at Song Yufu.

Song Yufu shook her fearfulness, put the ruler on her chest, and spoke a little nervously: "My father is the chief priest of the Imperial College. If you dare to hit me... you can't get out..."

Xu Buling narrowed his eyes slightly: "Threatening me?"

Song Yufu shook her head, and trembled with Bu Yao: "No, I'm just coming here to tell you the rules..." As she said that, she walked to the desk in a small way, like a master looking at a student.

Xu Buling shook his head gently and continued to grind, his voice was dull:

"The person who can tell me the rules has not been born yet."

"Rules are not what people say, they have... Dayue was established for two hundred years, and before Jiazi, Baiyue, Daqi, and established the Imperial College in Chang'an, so the rules were set..."

Xu Buling frowned slightly: "Do you know how the Great Qi became Northern Qi? How did Baiyue become Nanyue?"

Song Yufu has been well-read in poetry and books since she was a child, so she naturally knows this: "Wenzong attaches importance to the army and uses poor generals, and promotes military exercises, which leads to a great increase in national strength. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, General Xu Lie made many extraordinary achievements since his scout. At the age of 40, he served as the general of Zhenguo. He led an army of 1.2 million to the south to conquer Baiyue and defeated the Great Qi in the north. From then on, the Central Plains was unified..."

"Who is Xu Lie?"

"It's your grandfather."

"Then what rules do you tell me?"

Xu Buling raised his eyes and looked at Song Yufu.

Song Yufu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It is precisely because King Su's ancestors have made great achievements and have built a territory for Dayue that you have been the prince, so you must abide by the rules set by your ancestors and not be domineering by power...

...This 'Don't Forget the Bell' was cast by General Xu when he broke Chang'an. The purpose was to make the people of Dayue and the civil and military officials of the court not forget their ancestors for enduring humiliation and burdens for a hundred years, and to punish you to ring the bell. This is the same."

Xu Buling took a breath and was too lazy to pay attention.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Song Yufu became more and more arrogant, and took the ruler and said seriously:

"It is a rule that Chenshi reads half an hour early. Both princes and princes and poor students are treated equally. It's better if you come a little late, why should you hurt someone?

In the important place of the school, General Xu would first remove his sword and dismount to respect him. You... You are ignorant of etiquette, unruly, unruly..."

Chattering endlessly, a series of derogatory words.

Xu Buling was quite satisfied with this evaluation, and I think Aunt Lu would be relieved when she heard it.

Xu Buling looked at the female master who was teaching seriously:

"I need a reason to hit someone?"

"It must be...not right, you can't hit someone."

Song Yufu clapped her palms with a ruler and walked back and forth in front of the desk:

"As the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not act.' If you have any objections to Mr. Xiao, you can try to convince him according to reason. It is a matter of a reckless man in the world who has made a fist. Besides, Mr. Xiao is not unable to beat you. He has not fought back. He respects your identity and abides by the rules, and you are not right..."

Xu Buling liked quietness and was so quarrel that he couldn't copy books, so he put down his wolf's hair and raised his head:

"Miss Song, are you too idle?"

Song Yufu pursed her lips and stood upright in front of the desk: "As the saying goes, 'One day, one day, a father will be a father for life', I will help my father take you to read early, and I will be considered half a teacher. In the "Study Records" you copied, there is a sentence like "A strict teacher is difficult, and then the teacher is strict, then the Tao is respected, and then the people know how to respect the Tao." This means respecting the teacher and the Tao..."

Xu Buling nodded and stood up: "I recited it very well, just right." He walked towards Song Yufu.

Song Yufu looked a little inexplicable, put the ruler on her chest, and stepped back in small steps until she retreated to the wall of the bell tower and said nervously:

"You can't hit me, otherwise... or you will have to stay for seven days. Add these seven days to half a month..."

"What should I do to beat you?"

Xu Buling walked up to him and turned his head slightly: "Copy "The Book of Learning" ten times, otherwise he would throw you away."

Song Yufu looked back and saw that the bell tower was more than three meters tall. She was so scared that she shook her head seriously. "No, I asked you to copy "Study Records" to know your mistakes and can correct them. How can I help you copy them?"

Xu Buling nodded and raised his right hand.

Song Yufu pursed her lips, but she was very strong. She closed her eyes and turned her head, looking like "You fight, I'll kill me!" Soon, she noticed that she was lighter, opened her eyes, and found that she was being carried by someone on the back collar and walked towards the small case.

"ah--"

Song Yufu's character is one shorter than Xu Buling. Her embroidered shoes thumped in the air, causing ripples in the hem of the skirt, and her neck was strangled with a little uncomfortable with her collar. She raised the ruler in her hand:

"Your Highness, how can you do this? I...I'll hit you..."

Xu Buling placed her next to the small case, his eyebrows were slightly cold:

"Give you one last chance, will you copy it?"

Seeing that Song Yufu was irrational, she lowered her head and snorted softly: "Isn't the same knowledge as you, a rough person..." She wanted to run away, but her body flew into the air again and was thrown out of the bell and drum tower, and the hem of the skirt was rolled up with snow all over the sky.

"ah--!!"

A scream.

Song Yufu, wearing a jacket and skirt, looked pale in an instant, waved her hands and feet a few times, and watched herself fly out of the wall.

The Bell and Drum Tower is about three stories high, with bluestone floor below. You can imagine what the effect of falling down.

Song Yufu's head was so scared that she turned blank. She waved her hands and feet a few times, and closed her eyes tightly.

After waiting for a long time, the pain came. She opened her eyes a little bit and found that her body was hanging high below. She was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice:

"Let me go..."

Xu Bucheng let go of his right hand.

"Ah-No, you pull me up... Woo woo..."

The crying sounded.

Xu Buling lifted Song Yufu up and placed it again next to the desk:

"Come or not?"

Song Yufu's face was white, and her tears were slight. Her hands holding the ruler were still trembling slightly. After a long time of rest, she took a breath. She pursed her lips and was about to say something when she saw Xu Buling raising her hand. She was so scared that she quickly picked up the wolf hair. She wrote "Study Records" in a grievance and terrified manner, and muttered in slightest:

"You are too much. What a gentleman you are like..."

"I am not a gentleman, I am an ignorant and ignorant child."

"Danny..."

"Haha, just know..."

--------

It was still early, and the palace was covered with palace lanterns. Xiao Ting quickly walked through the corridor and entered a palace. The palace maids and eunuchs were bent outside and waited quietly.

A warm stove was placed in the hall, and a beautiful woman in the palace was lying on her side on the soft collapse. She had a warm yellow palace skirt covering her shoulders and a phoenix crown on her head. She had a round and jade-like figure but not full. Her eyebrows and eyes were like apricots. She had been in the upper position for a long time and was a bit majestic and elegant.

When Xiao Ting walked into the palace, he rushed to the front of the soft collapse and cried loudly, pointing to his cheek that was swollen like a pig's head:

"Auntie, look, Ting'er was beaten!"

The beautiful woman leaned against the soft couch and squinted her eyes halfway, and was awakened by the shock and frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy:

"Xiao Ting, you will reach the age of the crown in two years. What kind of morality does a man cry without tears? "

Xiao Ting snot and tears, lying on the edge of the collapse:

"Xu Buling can hit me, why can't I cry? My aunt doesn't let me hit him..."

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, raised her hand to drive away the palace maid, and sat up a little straight:

"Xu Buling beat you? Why are you provoking him if you have nothing to do?"

"ah?"

Xiao Ting's crying expression froze, and then he felt aggrieved: "Aunt, how can you say Ting'er like this? I honestly recited poetry and essays at the Imperial College. As I was getting better, Xu Buling suddenly appeared and tried to beat me..."

As the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family in Huainan, the Empress Dowager has been in the upper hand for a long time, and she can tell from Xiao Ting's face that something is wrong. However, after all, she is my nephew, so she did not go into it in depth, but said softly:

"Xu Buling was poisoned by a villain in the Wei River last year. He had no ten martial arts skills, so he could only drink alcohol and suppress the pain of ants eating his heart. In the face of this major change, ordinary warriors have long gone crazy, and it is normal to have a bad temper. Isn't it just a few hits, and it's not a life to kill you. By seniority, you are still his uncle, what are you going to do with him?"

Xiao Ting was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Aunt, I heard that if I was poisoned by the 'Dragon Lock Gu', no matter how powerful a master is, he will become a useless person. Xu Buling killed the Imperial Guard a few days ago, his skills are amazing..."

The Empress Dowager snorted faintly: "Dayue's territory should have emerged in many thousands of miles. Xu Buling's martial arts skills have already been determined. He once said boldly, "You can go to the nine heavens to kill the moon, and you can go to the four seas to capture dragons." Fighting with several small soldiers is considered to have lost their status. Do you still expect him to be beaten by a few minions?"

Xiao Ting frowned: "There is so powerful if you don't have ten martial arts skills. If he gets rid of the poison, who else can restrict him in the world?"

The Empress Dowager had a little disappointment in her eyes: "So what if a man is angry and blood splashes a hundred steps? Since ancient times, there is one person who has achieved great things because of the courage of a man? He can't even take troops without strategy. If he blocks a thousand, he is just a more powerful pawn."

Xiao Ting nodded: "That's right, Xu Buling is reckless and impulsive, doesn't even read books all day long, and he knows nothing about poetry and songs. It's really hard to achieve great things with just a brave body."

"It's good to know. I'll say hello to Lu Hongluan and ask her to discipline Xu Buling. You go back."
