When the officials of the Political Affairs Hall came to the Han Mansion, Han Gang was living alone in the courtyard arranged by his home for his boss Han Zhong.

In the morning, Han Gang agreed to teach two archery. As a result, except for the youngest two, the other sons of the Han family took bows and arrows to practice on the small school ground at home.

Some time ago, they lived with Wang Anshi for a month. The old couple Wang Anshi and Wu were happy, but the Han sons became much more unfamiliar with martial arts.

Wang Yun's only son, Wang Yun, has always been in poor health. Wang Feng is about the same age as Han Zhong. Now, under the guidance of Wang Anshi, he has even started to learn the Book of Songs, but he just can't learn martial arts, and even Wang's two sons cannot practice martial arts.

So when it comes to body, the Wang family's cousins ​​cannot compete with the Han family's children. The Han family's children practiced every day since childhood, and jumped to the lotus pond in the backyard to swim in the summer. Han Gang only encouraged and never stopped him. How could Wang Anshi and Wu let his grandson take off all their clothes and go swimming? With Wang Bai's body, he would have to cough for a long time even if he was exposed to a little wind in summer.

But there is also an advantage in the Wang family. Some people urge them to do literature, which makes more progress than when they were at home. The eldest is a middle-aged man, much inferior to Wang Jue. He is not as good as others in his studies, and he is also worse than his poems and pairs. Although Han Jin, the second son in the family, was a little earlier, because Han Gang did not value poetry, songs, and essays, he could not surpass Wang Jue.

Han Gang didn't care, he cared more about the health of the children at home. Only with a healthy body can one have a sound spirit, which is the criterion that Han Gang has always believed in. As for poetry, songs, it was too wasteful of time and energy, so there was no need to learn it.

After watching his sons practiced with arrows, Han Gang took advantage of the fact that he had a while before noon, at Wang Yi's suggestion, came to the newly renovated courtyard.

In an ordinary family, as long as they are still wealthy, they will have room when their son is older. In a family of officials, it is a separate courtyard.

When boys are old, they are not suitable for living with their parents in the backyard. And every child wants his own space. When Han Zhong heard that he could have a small courtyard where he lived alone, he was excited for a long time. When the yard began to be renovated and decorated, he even had to check out the progress every day.

Seeing that his brother who had been playing with him could live alone, Han Jin also asked for his own courtyard, but his protest was immediately suppressed by Wang Yi, and he could only look at his brother with envious eyes.

Han Zhong's courtyard is located in a corner of the mansion.

After entering the courtyard, the front of the screen wall is a plain wall, and the back is a landscape painting inlaid with square ceramic tiles. The stone foundations on both sides are carved with pictures of ancient scholars such as chiseling walls to steal light, capturing fireflies to reflect snow, hanging beams and thorns.

The house has just been painted, with plain walls and plain walls, which look particularly neat. The beams and pillars are all newly painted, the glass windows are polished to the point of being new, and the tiles on the roof have been replaced. The floor in the room is polished to be visible. In the yard, except for the flower beds on both sides and two crabapples, they are all paved with small square bricks. The overall flat and slightly raised, so you can't slip when walking on it.

Han Zhong’s living bedroom, study and living room, tables, chairs, beds and other furniture are made of sandalwood, and even the four treasures of the study are best gifts from the imperial court. The bookshelf is full of classics, history and literature collections, with thousands of volumes, all of which are from the printing workshop of the Imperial College. Although there are not many decorations on the Duobao grid, they are all fine products. The three-color bottles and lacquerware from the Tang Dynasty, the bronze ware from the Han Dynasty, and the swords and spears from the Qin Dynasty are not full of gold and jade eyes, but are simple and elegant and energetic.

Next to the study is a separate laboratory, including a telescope, a microscope, Si Nan, a complete set of glass experimental instruments, and a small celestial globe. This is the privilege that the son of the master of Qi science can enjoy.

Put down a Taohe inkstone in his hand and look at a huge landscape hanging on the wall. Han Gang shook his head and turned around and smiled at Wang Yi, "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Han Gang knew that Wang Yi was afraid of being gossiped, so he piled up antiques and treasures in the house. If her biological Han Jin had also gone out to live together, she would definitely not be so luxurious. She was too attentive, but she could actually see the concern in her heart.

"What do officials think?"

Wang Yi, who is usually very open-minded, was rarely a little nervous when asked about Han Gang's feelings.

"Su Xin, what do you think?" Han Gang asked Su Xin, who was walking with her.

“Isn’t it too luxurious?”

Yan Suxin asked in a low voice, "The things are good, but she felt that Hangang's study was not as good as pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Whether expensive or cheap, they are all used as ordinary utensils." Wang Yi smiled, "In fact, there is another set of daily utensils in the small warehouse next door. If you are worried about being damaged accidentally, just replace them. The ones here will be received in the warehouse... Officials, what do you think?"

"Let the elder brother take care of it. This is his residence. But..." Han Gang handed over one person to come over, "bring the words in my study."

Hangang has two study rooms inside and outside, but the male servant cannot enter the inner courtyard, let alone the study room inside. However, there are more than one calligraphy and paintings collected and hung in the outer study room. He hesitated and asked Hangang, "Which is it in politics?"

"Hanged from the wall facing the door."

"Mr. Wencheng's 'Gentleman is not a weapon'?!"

Before his personal follower could reply, Wang Yi screamed in shock.

"That's the one." Han Gang nodded and ordered again, "By the way, bring the two words on the left side of the table."

"Officials, Mr. Wencheng's calligraphy is too expensive." Yan Suxin said hurriedly.

This is indeed expensive.

Zhang Zai left not many souvenirs for Han Gang. Apart from letters and manuscripts, there were even fewer ones. Zhang Zai's pen holder was always placed on Han Gang's desk, and the letter he left for Han Gang before his death was even hung by Han Gang Zhang in his study.

Wang Yi and Yan Suxin never expected Han Gang to give this letter to Han Zhong.

"It doesn't matter. The eldest brother is the eldest son in the family and acts as an example for his younger brothers. It is better than anything he can follow Mr. Zihou's teachings. The word is not important, the important thing is to follow the teachings."

"I understand." Han Zhong nodded vigorously. He was in his early 10 years old and could already understand what Han Gang meant. "I must follow the teachings of my father and Mr. Wencheng and never violate them."

"That's good." Han Gang nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Zhang Zai's personal letter to "a gentleman is not a weapon" was hung in Han Zhong's study.

The other two characters are the two chapters of "Bian Yu" and "Zhen Wan" written by Zhang Zai, namely the so-called "Dong Ming" and "Xi Ming", which were recorded by Han Gang, and were framed and hung up.

This is a gift Han Gang prepared for his son.

"I really have to worry about the yard. When you get older, go to Hengqu Academy and communicate with scholars. Let's start with Kansai first." Han Gang lowered his head and said to Han Zhong: "You are the eldest brother of the second uncle's family in the academy. In the future, you will get closer to each other."

Han Zhong knew who Han Gang was talking about: "Is it Jin Niang's husband?"

Although he was just an engagement, he was also his own son-in-law. However, the prospective son-in-law of the Han family arranged for Wang Hou to go to Hengqu Academy and receive the guidance of famous teachers in Guanzhong. This time, Wang Hou went to Jing and left his son in the academy and did not bring him out. Han Gang was unable to see him either.

"Although the eldest brother of the Wang family is not as good as his thirteenth uncle, he heard that he is a smart and steady child and he will have great prospects in the future. Maybe he will be a Jinshi in a few years." Han Gang told his wives and concubines that he sent someone to inquire about the news.

"If this is true, it would be really gratifying." Wang Yi smiled happily.

"Official, my brother's talent is indeed a bit short. In fact, it would be better to be transferred to a military position in the future." Yan Suxin said in a low voice, only letting Wang Yi and Han Gang listen.

If you want to protect your family for a long time and transfer to the military minister system, it is the safest thing to do. Especially with Han Gang, a father with a wide connection in the army, others have to spend twelve points of effort. As long as you have the ability of a middle-aged man and the level of a mediocre general, you can also complete the achievements that famous generals can only achieve with hard work.

Han Zhong is not as good as Han Jin. He is the eldest son but not the legitimate son. Even if Han Gang can be crowned as the king in the future, he can even be inherited by his descendants. At that time, Han Jin will accept it, and it is definitely not Han Zhong.

"It's too early to say this now." Han Gang shook his head and smiled.

He had never discussed his sons' future with his wives and concubines in the past, but time passed quickly, and every year was a blink of an eye. Now he could delay it, and in another two years, it would not be long.

Wang Yi wanted to say something else, but at this time, it was reported that someone from the Political Affairs Hall had arrived. Han Gang went out to meet him and heard the message from Han Jiang from the Political Affairs Hall.

Han Gang was inconvenient and said something to Wang Yi and others, but he did not forget to ask Wang Yi to comfort his daughter who had made an appointment to play chess, and immediately rode out on a horse.

When he came to the Political Affairs Hall and saw the urgent report coming from the border, Han Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yelu Yixin really knows how to seize the opportunity."

The Liao Kingdom is so big that although there are incompetent people who serve as national envoys, there are still many who can fight wars.

Yelu Yixin and his son can also be regarded as a model for a tiger father without a dog son. In Goryeo, Japan said it would be defeated if it was defeated. If it was an official army to fight, how could it be so fast?

With the harvest from Goryeo and Japan, Yelu Yixin has laid a solid foundation in material and reputation, and the rest is the time.

Yelu Yixin is indeed able to seize the opportunity.

"It's true?!" Han Jiang frowned with her thick and gray eyebrows.

"I'm sure it's five or six points." Han Gang said. Apart from that, he could not imagine any other possibility, so that Nanjing could create 30,000 more cavalrymen and stationed near the border.

"Since Yukun said that, there is nothing wrong with that." Han Jiang sighed. He and Zhang Qi had actually made a judgment long ago, just wanting Han Gang to confirm.

"After enduring so many years, I finally couldn't help it." Zhang Qi sneered.
Chapter completed!
