In the morning, Chu Ying arrived at the training ground 15 minutes earlier than usual. She was warming up when she saw Gongsun in a crescent white robe coming.
Gongsun sent Chu Jin back to the palace and then went back to his hometown to visit his parents. He came back last night. He didn't like being disturbed, so Chu Ying didn't go to see him.
Chu Ying stepped forward and said, "Master."
Mr. Gongsun looked at her bright eyes and was not afraid of himself: "Jia Feng told me yesterday that you wanted to learn sword, but really?"
Mr. Gongsun is good at swordsmanship, but the closed door disciple refused to touch the sword, so he had no choice but to teach boxing and whip.
Chu Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I want to learn swordsmanship."
Mr. Gongsun said with a straight face, "Why did you change your mind?"
Chu Ying thought about it for a while, and told the truth: "The sword technique is natural and elegant, and it will look good when fighting with others."
Gongsun's mouth twitched. The feeling is not to change your mind and feel that swordsmanship is more destructive, but that it is beautiful, but at least you are willing to learn it now.
After learning swordsmanship from Gongsun, Chu Ying learned that Jia Feng's swordsmanship has been improved many times.
After Mr. Gongsun taught five moves, Chu Ying soon learned: "Once you have learned, you should practice hard and never be lazy."
Whether you are studying or practicing martial arts, you should persevere. You can't do anything well in two days or three days.
"Don't worry, Shifu. I will."
Mr. Gongsun looked at the long sword in her hand and said, "This sword is not suitable for you. I will tell the prince later to change a heavy sword for you."
"The epee? Isn't it ugly?"
Gongsun wanted to reprimand him, but his words were swallowed back to let Chu Jin know that he had scolded Chu Ying and had no alcohol for the next three days. For his good wine, Mr. Gongsun just said with a straight face, "I let you use the epee. That's not so much."
Chu Ying showed a bright smile.
Mr. Gongsun was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "In the future, we should smile as much as we do now. Don't always frown."
Every time he sees Chu Ying frowning, he is both distressed and resentful. But neither the prince nor the son of the world interfere in the affairs between mother and daughter, and he can hardly say anything. Fortunately, the stupid disciple finally figured out that he was no longer led by the Mu family.
Chu Ying answered with a smile.
After dinner, Chu Ying went to practice calligraphy and showed it to Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was very satisfied after the inspection. Chu Ying's words are not only correct but also vigorous and powerful. He got up and took a copybook from the bookshelf and said, "Don't copy any more books in the future. Copy according to this copybook."
Chu Ying was reluctant to look at the hairpin script and said, "Brother, although the font is beautiful, I don't like it. Brother, do you have any other copybooks?"
Chu Jin is so kind to her, there's no need to hide it.
"Yes."
He took out all the calligraphy he had collected and put them on the table. Chu Jin said with a smile, "You can choose it yourself. But it was agreed that you can't change it after you choose it."
Chu Ying looked at all the books and finally chose the calligraphy of Liu Dajia in the Tang Dynasty. After seeing that she has selected a copybook, Chujin selects another book for her to take back to read.
Chu Ying looked at the title of the book "The Biography of Taizu" and asked, "Brother, why do you want me to read this book?"
Chu Jin tapped her head gently and said, "As the princess of the great Chu State, I don't even know how to make sense of our ancestors? Look carefully, I want to take the exam."
Chu Ying had long wanted to read history books to understand this era, but it was just because of the people's patience. Chu Jin was sleepy and sent a pillow. But she didn't want to stay at home all day reading and practising: "Brother, I've been locked up at home these days. I want to go to the theatre this afternoon."
As long as Chu Ying finishes what he has stipulated, Chu Jin does not limit what he can do at other times: "Go if you want, but take the guards."
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing her smile, Chujin's mood also improved. He thought the injury was a blessing in disguise. Chu Ying was not only clear headed but also cheerful and smiling.
In the afternoon, Mingde Theater was performing Peony Pavilion, and Chu Ying was coming to the theater's list of operas. After reading it, she couldn't help but complain: "Most of them are about love, which is OK, but how can they all be bitter love scenes?"
Life has been very difficult. Watching a drama is to relax yourself. Watching such a bitter drama will only change your mood.
Jia Feng said, "Princess, these are just recreational things. If you don't like them, just don't look at them."
Chu Ying, half slumped in a chair with no image, said: "I don't want to see it either, but there is nothing interesting except watching plays and listening to books."
"If the county chief feels bored, he can go to another hospital to practice riding and shooting."
Chu Ying replied to her in three words: "Not interested."
She now practices three hours of martial arts and half an hour of calligraphy every day. She also wants to coax her to practice riding and shooting. This is no time for her to have fun.
After listening to the play, she went back. Unexpectedly, she saw her uncle Mu Chunhui and Zhang at the gate of the palace.
Although he didn't like them, Chu Ying came up to them and said, "Uncle and aunt, here you are!"
Mu Chunhui said with a cold face, "Do you still know that I am your uncle? Are you going to kill our family for the money?"
Zhang Shi cried and said, "Princess, our family really can't afford so much money? Princess, we are close relatives, and you don't want us to live on the street, do you?"
There were still pedestrians passing in front of the palace, and they stopped when they heard what they said.
Chu Ying said with a sigh, "I just want to return to my shop and the rent for the past three years. How can I force you to live on the street? It's hard to ask me to give you the shop for free. It's a good niece."
Mu Chunhui wanted to say more, but she was held back by Zhang Shi. She said in tears: "Princess, business has not been good in recent years, and we said that we would pay the rent when we were well off. Now we have paid the rent, but can we continue to rent the two shops? Princess, we have a lot of goods in stock, and if you want to take back the goods, you will have to blow your own hands. Our capital is limited, and we can't live after losing so much. "
Who wouldn't do a trick? Chu Ying also said with red eyes: "Aunt, as far as I know, you have two shops in your own house, and also have a business partnership with others. It is conservatively estimated that the annual interest rate is more than 3000 liang, and your family's food and clothing are all subsidized by my wife. Why do I want to go back to my own shop, that is to make you homeless and kill you?"
Alas, it's better to be modern. You can scold as much as you want when you meet such top quality products, even if they are exposed.
Zhang did not expect Chu Ying not only to become sharp tongued, but also to act.
Jia Feng said with a cold face, "Uncle and Madam, this is the meaning of the prince. The princess didn't know about it before. If you don't want to return the shop to the prince, why should you discredit the princess here?"
Hearing the word "Shizi", Mu Chunhui and Zhang Shi trembled with fear and hurried away.
