Chapter 75: Learning Martial Arts and Literature

"If you want to develop a skill, you can't practice it. You don't know anything, you haven't seen anything, and you can't live outside for long. If someone else plays tricks, you'll finish it. I won't talk about it in the past few days. After it's convenient, you'll go out for a walk after practicing martial arts. Otherwise, you can see the world with the scholar and walk more and watch more!" Yuan Biao muttered behind him.

Upon hearing Yuan Biao’s statement, Zhou Qingyun curled his lips, and Zhu Da quickly agreed. He recognized the old man’s approach and had much greater confidence in his ability to learn real talents.

It is said to be "free activity", but in fact it is not free. Qin Xiucai is the father of the two of them. After practicing martial arts, he has to go to him to ask what to do next. This etiquette must be obtained. Of course, Zhu Da understood this. He only took Zhou Qingyun into the Qin family's yard. Before he could walk towards the inner courtyard, he was stopped by a servant. He smiled and said that the master was seeing guests in the front yard. Except for the living room and study, you can go around the rest of the place first.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were not interested in strolling, and they both returned to their residence to rest. They entered the house and Qin Qin followed them in. The girl used to run around outside and was bored and bored by being entangled at home these days. After two companions, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, came, and could not disturb their martial arts practice. Now she was just in time and rushed over.

If you want to play hide-and-seek together, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were not interested, but they couldn't pass it if they didn't play anything. Zhu Da had to scratch his head and tell the story. He recalled what he had seen and heard, and began to talk about Journey to the West. In fact, Zhu Da could also tell the story of honey in the wellhead, but for safety reasons, he should not say that it was so novel. Zhu Da knew that there were already many doubts on his body, so there was no need to cause endless trouble for a moment of showing off.

But Zhu Da still underestimated the lack of culture in this era. The story of Journey to the West that he had long felt boring made Zhou Qingyun and Qin Qin concentrate and their eyes shine.

Although novels flourished in this era, after all, when writing books and reading books, one must know literacy and words. In this era, it is already a few people who can read books and recognize words. However, history is written by people who read books and recognize words. Later generations seem to mistakenly believe that the culture of this era is prosperous, and most illiterate people will not appear in history books, and will be ignored and forgotten.

Zhu Da had just started speaking, but heard a conversation coming out of the window. It was Qin Xiucai and another person walking out. After the man said a few words, Zhu Da heard it, but it was Xu San, the leader of the Salt Stage Guard.

"Sir, I am really a clever plan. In the past, everyone has all their skills but I don't know how to use them. With Mr. Qin's plan, we are so open-minded. This time I fight happily!"

"Brother Xu is so polite. No matter how much I plan for the students, I have to rely on Brother Xu and his brothers to fight with real swords and guns. You are the real meritorious ones. The injured brothers are sent to Zhengjiaji to raise them. Everything is more convenient. Rewards will be given here."

"Sir, you are polite. Come on, Lao Xu, I won't argue with you. The commander of the Left Guard has already made an appointment with my elder brother for a date. After the negotiation is settled, my elder brother will come over and have a detailed discussion with my husband. My elder brother also said that the negotiation will be done according to what my husband has decided to do..."

"It was not decided by the students, it was decided by Brother Yang. The students just followed the staff."

Zhu Da stopped the story, ignored Zhou Qingyun and Qin Qin's urging, sat in the room and listened carefully to the conversation outside. During the chatting and politeness of Qin Chuan and Xu San Ge, he could hear a lot of useful information.

"Mr. Qin, the guards on horseback cannot come back yet. The elder brother has to guard against the left guard. Lao Liu and his friends have broken the rules once or twice. However, starting today, Mr. Qin will not have to worry about within ten miles of Zhengjiaji. He should do whatever he should do, and he should not always hold it at home."

"Has Lao Zheng made a statement?"

"That's right, this old ghost was willing to make a guarantee after he told him the news of the victory. He was so loyal that he said at that time, as if he didn't cheat five days ago."

"He should have known yesterday. Wait for us to come to ask for help so that we can still give up a favor."

"Old Liu" should be the commander of the left guard of Datong, and "Brother Yang" should be the leader of the private salt organization. Who is this "Lao Zheng"? The battle between the garrison and the salt bank to compete for huge profits in private salt has involved so many aspects.

Zhu Da was thinking, when the third brother Xu outside was silent for a moment, but his voice was a little anger. The exact description was that he was angry and embarrassed: "This old ghost is really cunning..."

"If he didn't have so much thought, he wouldn't have been here for 30 years. Brother Xu doesn't have to be angry. Since Lao Zheng is willing to make a guarantee, he is making a choice and there will be no more trouble." Qin Xiucai's answer was calm.

The voice gradually headed towards the gate of the courtyard, and you could still hear Brother Xu's instructions, "Look at the door and protect the sir."

As soon as the yard was quiet, Qin Qin urged Zhu Da to tell a story. A monkey jumped out of the stone and found a cave with tables, chairs and furniture behind the waterfall. The girl was so intoxicated that she wanted to know the following. Unfortunately, Qin Xiucai sent the guest away and called Zhu Da over in the yard. After shouting twice, he brought Zhou Qingyun's name.

Zhu Da could feel that in Qin Xiucai's mind, Zhou Qingyun was not important, but in a sense, he was just a "grown". Of course, Zhou Qingyun himself did not realize that Qin Chuan had enough etiquette, but he didn't care about the details at the beginning. After waiting for a long time, Zhu Da believed that no one could see anything wrong.

The one who rushed out first was Qin Qin. The girl ran to her father and told her that the story that Zhu Da was told was good, and begged her father to let Zhu Da continue to tell.

Qin Xiucai smiled and comforted him, and took Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to the study. Seeing Qin Qin's reluctance expression, she should have asked for it.

After entering the study, Qin Xiucai sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. No one could see his relaxation. The tension hidden under his smile disappeared in the past few days.

"Don't think that Master Yuan is weird. He has all his skills. He can invite this person over to rely on the origin of the Yang family. You must study hard."

Zhu Da didn't think that Yuan Biao's words and deeds were strange, but he recognized it very much. However, in this era, the old man should be an alien, so Qin Xiucai would remind him in advance.

In such an occasion where elders warn and educate their younger generations, Zhu Da would not tell the difference, saying that he and Zhou Qingyun did not find it strange, and had been learning something carefully, but just agreed.

Qin Chuan was very satisfied with Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's attitude, and continued with a smile: "In our Datong area, there are many people who know martial arts and many people who have experienced the battlefield. There may be few who can fight in battles and fight privately in the market, and teach people to strengthen themselves and practice martial arts. Master Yuan is rare to be proficient in everything. It is beneficial for you to study hard."

Even without relevant common sense, Zhu Da knew that fighting on the battlefield was different from fighting on the world, and he knew that he was good at teaching others was different. Of course, he was lucky to be able to learn from such people, but Zhu Da could also think that it was not easy to hire such people. Qin Xiucai also used the power of the salt stack.

"You... Since you have decided to learn martial arts, you must not slack off. You must study hard. I have heard many people say that if you are lazy and lazy in practicing martial arts, you will have a risk of death and injury when you face the enemy in the future. Think about it, is it painful to sweat or death and injury..."

When he said this, Qin Xiucai laughed and shook his head and said, "I have developed the habit of teaching people in the museum. You should know this principle. I don't need to say more. However, if you want to achieve success, you can't always stay in the house to practice hard. You have to experience more experience. From today on, it will be convenient. After practicing martial arts every day, I will lead you everywhere or help me do something."

The word "sitting in the hall" made Zhu Da not tense for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. Qin Xiucai noticed this expression and frowned and asked, "Is there anything funny?"

"Today, Master Yuan also said the same thing as his adoptive father. When I think of this, I couldn't help laughing." Zhu Da quickly replied. Of course, he would not say that this "sitting for the restaurant" meant that he was the leader of the gang at that time. In this era, "sitting for the restaurant" means going to a private school to be a teacher.

After hearing this answer, Qin Xiucai had no doubts, but said with emotion: "The ways of civil and military affairs are in line with each other. It is unexpected that Master Yuan can have this insight. You must study hard and not let down such good teachers and friends."

After saying this, Qin Xiucai got up and walked out. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun hurriedly followed. Qin Qin looked at the story and had no hope for the time being, so she ran to other rooms in anger.

Qin Xiucai came to the yard without going out. Instead, he followed the side door to the yard of the Salt Stack next door. After arriving there, he found that Yuan Biao had left.

"It's still a little cramped here. I'll go to a special school to practice martial arts tomorrow and the next day." Qin Xiucai said as he walked. Unlike when he came here in the morning, after Qin Xiucai came here, a middle-aged man in a long gown quickly came out from the back door of the front room.

This middle-aged man is in his early forties and is very rich, but what is inconsistent is that he cannot see too much pampering appearance. Instead, he seems to have experienced hardships. The middle-aged man walked up to him and bowed and said to him, "The second master came at noon. The young man didn't come out to greet him because he ordered him to show off. Don't blame him for being neglected."

"Lao Ding, you just think too much. I told you, how could I blame you?" Qin Xiucai joked, then raised his hand and introduced: "Zhu Da, this is Ding Baotong, our shopkeeper of the semi-colon. He is a good at managing business accounts. Lao Ding, this is my adopted son Zhu Da, and this is his brother Zhou Qingyun."

Hearing Qin Chuan's introduction and recommendation, Shopkeeper Ding was stunned, because his attitude towards Zhu Da was not about his adopted son, but about his friends and brothers, or very close.
