Chapter 415: Afternoon Sunshine
Zhang Ning remembers that a teacher once taught them the basics of psychology. There was a paragraph where he said that he did an experiment and asked many students to write down the animals they thought of on paper. As a result, a very weak girl wrote a powerful poem.
Leopard. Zhang Ning had completely forgotten what theory the teacher wanted to prove through this experiment, but it made sense when he thought about it accidentally.
Because Yao Ji has recently become fond of watching horse racing. For a reclusive woman like her, who usually behaves elegantly, softly and quietly, it is a bit surprising that she likes to watch such strenuous exercise.
On the Cuju court in the Palace of Chu, sand was sprinkled on the outside and watered to make a running track. A group of knights were racing to be the first. "Bang bang bang..." The horses' hooves made a thick sound on the sand. This sound
It was so shocking that it was like beating someone's chest. The galloping war horse passed under the stands, and the powerful muscles on the horse's shoulders bulged out the oily fur, which shone in the sun. It was really full of emotions like art.
Kind of beauty.
"Ning'er, which horse do you think will reach the finish line first?" Yao Ji asked Zhang Ning, who had just arrived. Her eyes were bright, the kind of eyes that only appear when she is in high spirits and excitement.
Zhang Ning originally came to see her in broad daylight because he had something to do, but now he felt that it was not the right time to talk, so he followed Yao Ji's words and asked, "I just arrived and I didn't take a closer look. Which horse do you like?"
Yao Ji smiled and said: "I think the brown horse running third can come from behind. Look how beautiful it is."
Zhang Ning was speechless for the reason she said. It seemed that Yao Ji was just a fake fan of horse racing and didn't know much about horses. If Feng Youxian, the commander of the cavalry regiment, was present, he might be able to say a few words in front of the imperial concubine.
Of course, Zhang Ning has no research on horses, but he knows that Huguang does not produce war horses. The tall horses in the Chu Palace and the war horses in the army all come from the north. They are mainly left by the officers and soldiers of the guards and horses bought and sold from the north.
.The number is limited, so there will be fewer good horses, and there should be no top-quality horses in Cuju.
After the knights ran a few laps to finish the horse race, they all came to the stand in front of the yellow umbrella, took off their helmets and raised their swords in salute. Zhang Ning then noticed that the knights were all women. Yao Ji happily said to Zhang Ning: "Look, women
He can also ride a horse."
Zhang Ning said: "Since ancient times, women have always respected men's eyebrows, and when they look at them, their sons and ministers only feel that they are heroic."
"You're right." Yao Ji smiled and said, "Didn't you let Zhou Zhong train an 'honor guard'? They showed up in style several times. I think these female riders are not bad, and I also want to build a cavalry team. I'll wait for a while.
I'm going on a trip during the Dragon Boat Festival, so I just happened to take them with me." She turned around and glanced, "Let the Peach Blossom Fairy be the team leader."
Zhang Ning said: "As long as you are happy, it is up to you to make the decision."
While he was talking, he couldn't help but take another look. Most of the people present were women, but Yao Ji's bright light suppressed everyone's presence, making people almost only pay attention to her. And she was dressed up today.
It is very casual and simple, with just a hosta in the hair and no other decorations, and only wears a light-colored stand-up collared skirt. This kind of collar completely covers the skin on the neck, which is very similar to the noble ladies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties|
The style of half-breasted is completely different.
However, Yao Ji's figure cannot be concealed by a pair of conservative clothes. It is a sunny day in summer and the sun is glaring and very hot outside. Even if she covers her body tightly, she cannot wear too thick clothes. The material of her clothes is cotton and silk.
It is very soft and breathable, and at the same time it also vaguely exposes the curves of her body. This brocade uses the hand-woven technology of Shu brocade and Yun brocade, which can interweave silk and cotton silk into one material, and can weave threads of different colors directly
It has a natural pattern and is integrated. It is soft, breathable and sweat-absorbent. It looks soft and very textured. It is gorgeous in a low-key manner. However, there are no bras in this era. Wearing this kind of clothes will inevitably expose you. Yao Ji's lining should be thicker.
Her breasts were covered by a tube top, but her breasts were really tall and tall, holding up her clothes. If you looked carefully, you could see the shallow outline of her breasts raised by her breasts. Zhang Ning couldn't help but feel a little dry.
Of course, what is attractive is not only the slight leakage on the chest, but also her plump and smooth body curves, plump breasts and hips, but with a flexible and slender waist, and delicate and weak arms. This kind of figure is really rare.
Generally, if a woman is plump, she will inevitably be a little fat, and it is inevitable that she will have a thick waist and arms, but Yao Ji is just different.
"You come to the palace to see me now, must something be wrong?" Yao Ji's pure and pleasant voice made Zhang Ning wake up from his brief trance.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Ning suddenly felt his face getting a little hot, and felt tangled in his heart. He had no sense of identification with Yao Ji as mother and son. He had only been in the world of the Ming Dynasty for a short time, and he couldn't cope with it psychologically.
What kind of family recognition can a person from the Ming Dynasty have? But she is the mother-in-law by title. Logically, Zhang Ning believes that he should not pay attention to her body, so there are some conflicts in his heart.
He took out an opened letter and said, "This is something reported by my father-in-law, General Zhou. Please read it first."
Yao Ji stretched out her fingers to catch it gently. Her fingers were long and white, as clean as jade, and the oil paint on her nails sparkled in the sun.
Zhou Mengxiong mainly mentioned the recent interactions with the Miao King's envoys, and gave a general description of the situation in Miao territory. The two sides are still in the period of secret collusion and testing. The Miao King hopes that the Huguang regime can actually send troops to help him calm down internal problems, and give
The conditions were to recognize Emperor Jianwen as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, be canonized by him, abide by Emperor Jianwen's edicts, and then maintain order in the Miao territory as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Mengxiong then reported this matter to the police. He had no right to make a decision on it. However, as a cabinet minister and a feudal official, he made some suggestions in his letters. One of them was to let Bai Fengjiao, the daughter of the Miao King, enter the palace as his concubine and form a marriage alliance.
Well... Zhou Mengxiong is Zhang Ning's father-in-law, and for some reason he helped Zhang Ning acquire women. However, Zhang Ning paid extra attention to Zhou Mengxiong's suggestion and was very satisfied with his remarks. He always felt that Zhou Mengxiong was really a good minister.
Sure enough, what Yao Ji quickly noticed was also about Bai Fengjiao. She was slightly surprised and said: "General Zhou proposed that King Miao send his daughter to the palace as a concubine?" After saying that, she turned to look at Zhou Niang, who was sitting aside very politely.
The low-key Mrs. Zhou said nothing.
Zhang Ning said: "After the Northern Army took control of southern Zhili, the military pressure on Jiangxi and Jiangbei increased. We originally had no spare capacity to take care of the southwest border affairs. However, the Miao territory is not small and is very important in Huguang government affairs.
If I can get them to surrender, it will not only solve a border problem, but also be very beneficial to the orthodox status of my father, Emperor Jianwen. With these considerations in mind, the ministers prepared to discuss with the ministers in the court, but General Zhou proposed a marriage.
, I think we should ask the mother, concubine and madam first; after all, children should follow the orders of their parents, and the madam is in charge, so you have to ask."
"Bai Fengjiao..." Yao Ji pondered for a moment, "What do you think, Erniang?"
Tuesday's mother looked embarrassed. Yao Ji had just looked at her, but since she didn't speak directly, she didn't have to express her position. Now that Yao Ji asked, she had to answer out of politeness. She hesitated for a while, and then
Said: "Since my father has brought up the matter, how can my daughter dare to disobey it?"
After hearing this, Yao Ji smiled and said: "Your wife has nothing to say, how can I stop you?"
Zhang Ning suddenly felt refreshed and felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in politics. He did not try to oppose the opinions of the public, did not go against the majority of people internally and created conflicts, but he could make decisions in line with his own wishes. It had to be a technical job.
.
Zhang Ning said without changing his expression: "In this case, I can discuss it with the ministers in the cabinet."
After he finished speaking, he stopped watching the entertainment activities with the ladies in the palace and left directly.
The image of a passionate young girl wearing a short skirt and a jingle bell appeared in Zhang Ning's mind. She imagined something as beautiful as the goddess described in "Chu Ci", surrounded by natural decorations and herbs, with white skin.
With a beautiful face...perhaps all the Han and Miao people on the mainland of China have the same ancestor. The woman who came out from the edge of civilization is the incarnation of the ancient elves.
However, the expectation did not make him anxious. It was already afternoon. According to the daily rules of the cabinet, the ministers would all work in the six yamens in the afternoon. There was no need to summon them in a hurry to discuss matters. They would meet up early tomorrow morning.
With nothing going on, Zhang Ning remembered that the new recruits recruited from all over the country were being sent to Wuchang one after another, so he went out of the city from the north gate and went to a new military camp to have a look.
Out of the north city gate, there is the river to the west. Except for some laborers and merchants living on the water gate and the wharf, there are relatively few ordinary people attached to the city. To the east, there are some low-rise buildings built next to the school grounds, which are where the first part of the new military camp is stationed.
place. From a distance, the houses built in a unified manner are relatively neat, but they are relatively simple. They use burned bricks to build low walls, and then use tree branches, tarpaulin and thatch as roofs. It is estimated that they will not last long, and they are like temporary tents.
Zhang Ning led his guards on horseback and approached. When he came to the camp gate and looked inside, he saw that it was noisy and crowded like a market. The guards guarding the camp recognized Zhang Ning and hurriedly sent people in to call the general.
After a while, a young military general came out and saw Zhang Ning hurriedly kowtow under his horse: "Mr. Qian Wu Bao, kowtow to the prince." Zhang Ning saw that this man was no more than twenty-five years old at most, and he was really young, so he asked
: "Are you the commander of this camp?"
"If I tell you, Your Majesty, this is the last general." Wu Bao suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained, "These people just arrived in Wuchang today. They are either farmers or refugees. They don't know anything... Therefore, that's why they look like this, Your Majesty."
Give the general a few days, and he will definitely tell them to behave themselves!"
Zhang Ning waved his hand: "Get up." After saying that, he got off the horse, and Wu Bao hurriedly stepped forward to take the reins and lead the horse.
Chapter completed!
