Chapter five hundred and fourteen: expansion
Chapter 514: Expanded
Wenjing Pavilion had a conversation and had to go to the harem to meet him. An Ning's order to marry was issued, and most of the two men were still there and he had to greet him.
But it was getting late, and I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with the palace gate. Chen Ao hesitated for a moment and was about to say goodbye to Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji seemed to see through him: "You should also ask for peace with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. You haven't seen each other for so long, so you can't lose your courtesy. It's getting late. If the sky is dim, I will ask someone to send you out of the palace."
Chen Aohe nodded. He went to the empress dowager first, but he knew that it was very lively in Jingtai Palace. More than a dozen palace maids gathered together to watch the empress dowager playing the Ye Zi Card. The empress dowager was also here, playing against the empress dowager, and there were two other concubines accompanied by Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.
Chen Ao asked An, and Concubine Xian stood up and smiled and said, "I can't do it anymore. If I lose, I will probably have to pay for all the monthly routines this month. Chen Ao, everyone said that you are back for triumphant today and you will fight for me."
The queen mother glanced at Chen Ao and said, "It's just right here, you come for Concubine Xian."
Chen Ao sat down in disappointment, looking quite embarrassed in the fragrant powder. He grabbed a handful of cards and played slowly, deliberately maintaining a situation of not losing or winning. The Empress Dowager asked about Chen Ao’s affairs on the North Road of Jingji. Chen Ao answered. The women were not interested in these golden swords and iron horses. But after hearing this, no one asked any questions. The Empress Dowager gave a one million yuan and said with a smile: "This is the real skill, men should do this." So he stopped talking.
The empress dowager was not lucky and grabbed a handful of bad cards in a row, with a bad look on her face. She said, "We are women, and we don't understand these things, and we don't say anything else. You just want to share the worries of the officials."
I originally wanted to speak well, but when I encountered this situation, Chen Ao deliberately refused to mention An Ning. He absent-mindedly played a few cards, and said, "It turns out that it's so dark, damn it, damn it."
It is a very taboo thing for a man to stay in the harem at night. Fortunately, this is Jingtai Palace, and both empress dowagers are there, so it is not enough to teach people to catch any tricks. Chen Ao did not dare to stay for too long, and immediately ran away in a panic. Yang Jian answered him there, led him to the city tower, and asked someone to prepare a bamboo basket to hang him off the palace wall.
Seeing this black bamboo basket in the deep winter, it was similar to the frame for later generations of chickens. Chen Ao's face looked a little bad, and no one could see it in the darkness. He sighed in his heart: "I rode a horse into the palace in a bright and magnificent way, but when I went out, I felt so embarrassed."
He crawled into the basket with grievance and told the imperial guards who were putting the basket: "Brother, I am flammable and fragile. Remember to be careful and let go. I will not pull the rope under my head and don't let go. If there is any mistake, be careful I will cheat you."
The imperial guard laughed and said, "Mr. Shen is joking. How dare we neglect such a noble person? Don't worry."
Yang Jian rushed back to check the palace bans everywhere and said, "You haven't developed the courage after going to the battlefield yet? Don't worry, the miscellaneous family is here to take care of it."
Chen Ao closed his eyes and said righteously: "A gentleman is open and honest, villains are always worried. I am a gentleman, I am a gentleman, what are you afraid of? Come on."
He lowered the bamboo basket, which was quite like he used to be a thief. However, he used to take the initiative, but now he is curled up in the basket and has given it to the imperial guards to practice.
When he bypassed the moat, it was already deep in the night. Chen Ao found that his horse was not there and no one was able to take him. From here to the mansion, he had to walk a lot of roads. His mood fell to the bottom and he didn't get home in a mess until midnight.
Everything at home was well organized. The doorman held the lantern and welcomed Chen Ao in. Liu Sheng had not slept all night and was waiting for him to come back. He shouted excitedly with his shoes. Chen Ao said lightly: "It's so late at night, the madam must have slept. I'll go to the study room to make do with it all night. You go and move some quilts."
Liu Sheng said: "Nine of the mistresses did not sleep. They said that you would definitely come back tonight when you enter the city. Now they are all waiting in the back garden."
Chen Ao felt warm in his heart. When he arrived in the back garden, he saw everyone there. Although the wife was very happy when she saw him coming back, she pulled him down to sit around him, said she had lost weight, and said she had become a little tanned. Chen Ao was at their mercy and felt that the world was vast, but the only thing that could really make him feel at ease was in this small cave, and she said whistling: "I'm hungry!"
Zhou Ruo went to pour a bowl of longan porridge in person and said with a smile: "If I had known you were like this, the porridge has been kept on fire since the early morning and I will wait for you to come back."
Chen Ao drank the porridge rustling, touched his belly, and smiled bitterly: "My belly is still a bit flat, but it doesn't matter. It's beautiful and delicious. My husband is full."
Tang Moer said calmly: "Yes, you are full, but Sister Zhenzhen has not yet fallen into it."
Chen Ao held Zhenzhen's tenderness with a stern face: "Why don't you eat? You should spank if you don't eat. This is the new military rule established by this official. Today I will use you to warn the monkey."
Zhenzhen smiled and her beautiful eyes turned, and she said, "Mr. Shen is so powerful. She has to take care of her if she doesn't eat. In fact... I ate some porridge, but I have a bad appetite and can't eat anything."
After a while, Chen Ao was extremely tired and was helped by Zhen Zhen to sleep in the room. When he woke up early in the morning, he remembered that he was no longer cold in the tent, and he was still holding a delicate beauty in his arms. He tilted his head and looked at Zhen Zhen. Seeing her temples sprinkled, Su's chest was leaning half-closed in his arms. His small red lips were slightly raised, his bright eyes were closed, and he looked very charming. He couldn't help but move, and gently rubbed her Su's chest a few times. Seeing her eyelashes tremble, he immediately shouted: "So you have woken up long ago."
Zhen Zhen opened her eyes and looked at Chen Ao charmingly, and it had already hooked Chen Ao's neck. The two of them no longer had to speak, but only used their limbs to respond to each other, gradually removing the underwear and the clouds and rain of Wushan.

Chen Ao got up in a state of energy. Zhenzhen came over to put on his clothes and asked him: "My husband has been tired outside for so long. Should he take a break at home and take a half-month leave?"
Chen Ao sighed, forced a smile and squeezed Zhenzhen's face. The little girl, Yun Yu, even her face turned even more delicate afterwards, and said, "I don't want to do it, but the second phase of the Martial Arts School will be recruited in a few days. This matter cannot be delayed. Let's finish this matter first."
Zhenzhen tied the jade belt around his waist and said, "It's really strange for men to be idle at home. They must be busy outside and not touch the ground before they can rest."
Chen Ao raised his waist with confidence: "What is this? If you don't have a person like your husband's feet on the ground, how can you live the world's peace? Only by protecting everyone will you have a small family, right?"
This principle is a bit unreasonable, as if the whole world is busy alone, and it seems that the sky is about to fall and he wants to hold on. Zhenzhen just smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I know you are powerful, you are both civil and military, so those who are capable work hard, right? Okay, my grandfather, go for breakfast before going to the martial arts school."
Chen Ao went out after breakfast. In fact, it was logical that the martial arts school should have recruited lieutenants a few days ago, but it was delayed by the Tianyi Sect. As early as a few months ago, candidates from all over the country had already set off. Now the entire Bianjing is full of scholars with teaching quotations.
If the first period of the school captain was abducted, it was all due to the strong implementation of the imperial edict and the verbal verbal of the county's teachers, no matter what, they still got the person. But now, there is no need for persuasion to be hard-working, and the martial arts school has long become a hot commodity in the eyes of scholars. Most people would like to commit themselves to school immediately without others' persuasion.
After all, it is still too many scholars in the world. It is a dream that so many scholars want to be officials. There are only so many officials in the Song Dynasty, and only so many people are shortlisted for the imperial examination. If you want to become an official, you have to squeeze on the single-plank bridge first. Those who can really squeeze through are all elites among the elites, talents among the talents, and one hand that ten thousand scholars in the world can count.
Since there is no ladder to advance, I don’t want to do business, and I don’t want to be a teacher for the rest of my life, I always have to find something to do. Those who have a good family background can certainly live a lifelong life, but for those who have a bad family background, martial arts school has become a choice.
Being a lieutenant means the emperor's disciple. The four words "The emperor's disciple" are not just talk. It sounds a bit ugly. If you wear a yamen and appear in any yamen, no matter whether you are a prefect or a county magistrate, you will never dare to be arrogant to you when you see you. Even if you are a peer-to-people, you don't have to be guilty. The reason is still the four words "The Emperor's disciple".
Such a person can still call himself a disciple and a student when he sees an official? Even if you dare to call him like this, he will not dare to respond. Your teacher is the emperor and the emperor. If you recognize your disciple and student, you want to be on an equal footing with the official family, are you tired of doing this official?
In addition to these facial skills, the future of the lieutenant is somewhat guaranteed. After learning, it is still a small team official. Although the lieutenant is not a rare thing, he cannot resist the promotion. Although there are no real lieutenant now, and the team official in the Ma Junsi is only considered an intern, someone has already made a prediction that in the future, these lieutenants will be promoted in the army. Not to mention anything else, if others dare to suppress their military achievements, who dares to suppress them? If you really get angry, if you really want to make trouble, you will be afraid that it will be a big deal.
Therefore, unlike last year, the teachings were full of sensations, but this year, scholars asked everywhere to ask for advice and citations, took the text, and went straight to Bianjing with a passionate burden.
This time, the number of places recruited by the Martial Arts School was 3,000, but the number of people who really came to the Mao was ten times that of this. At this point, the Martial Arts School entrance examination was put on the agenda. Chen Ao and the doctor and the teacher discussed for a while, but just smiled bitterly. In the dispute between the doctor and the teacher, the doctor naturally hoped to focus on the literary exam and select some people who study harder. As for the coach, of course, they hoped to select strong people. The two sides argued for an hour, but they didn't understand the idea, which made them a little more trouble.
Chen Ao pondered for a moment and finally spoke: "Physical strength is a matter of course, and literary examinations are also a matter of course. It is better to do this. The instructors will organize a *** exam first. Only those with strong bodies can take the literary examination. As for the rules and regulations of the examination, I will not care about it. You will work together to write some notes. In addition, the recruitment of the navy lieutenant should be cautious. In addition, the physical examinations should be tested. At that time, the recruited people will vomit to death when they get on the boat. Everyone is not good-looking in terms of face, right? As for the nursing lieutenant, there are only two people who are enrolled now. Everyone..." Chen Ao knocked on the table with pain: "No matter what, you have to train a team first, and at least twenty people must be recruited. As for where this person comes from, I don't care. Let Han Shizhong do it, Han Shizhong..."
Han Shizhong felt cold on his back and felt guilty and bowed: "Sir..."
"I don't care whether you are cheating or what, you must find a way to make up for this shortage. Don't there any women who have studied? They all think that saving lives and helping the wounded is a humble thing? It's really not possible..." Chen Ao's eyes flashed: "Let's go to the Jiafangsi side. There are many children who commit officials there, and there are many people who know the words and literacy. But there is no way to do this. You can think about it first."
