I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 279 Chen Xiang
The fight between Chen Zhi and Xiang Qi was originally an inconspicuous dispute. It could be big or small, it mainly depends on the follow-up handling.

If there is a conflict between two children, they will basically forget it overnight and will not take it to heart for a long time. Negotiation between the adults on both sides is the top priority.

Compared with naughty children, parents who are unreasonable behind their backs and blindly shield them are the most annoying.

Originally, through friendly negotiation, some problems could be reduced to minor issues. However, through the unreasonable actions of the parents, the matter became bigger and bigger, and in the end it could not be settled.

Therefore, on the surface, Chen Zhi and Xiang Qi were fighting, but in reality, they were testing Chen Luo and Xiang Yu.

Fortunately, the two understood each other and were willing to reason.

They didn't see their son being beaten, so they directly blamed the other's child, and they didn't see the child beating anyone, but just because she was their daughter, they used words to shift the blame.

If ordinary people have disputes over such things, it is just a matter of one household.

There was a conflict between the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Yangxia and the King of Chu, which affected at least tens of thousands of people.

But now that the matter has been properly resolved, Chen Luo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He turned his head and said: "Zhi'er, go and change your clothes first, take a shower, and don't run around later. There will be a banquet for Uncle Xiang later, so don't let the attendants call you and you won't be able to find it." To people.”

Afraid of not telling him this, according to Chen Zhi's temperament, he would run outside again later and go crazy. It was almost dark before he remembered to come back.

"Okay, Father." Chen Zhi nodded politely.

As soon as he took a few steps, he turned around and said, "Father, um, I still have something to ask Sister Xiang."

"You don't want to be her disciple anymore, do you?" Chen Luo's face turned a little darker, feeling that he had a lot of ups and downs today.

If his son really worships Xiang Qi as his teacher, according to the saying "Once a teacher, always a father", then what is his relationship with Xiang Qi, and what is his relationship with Xiang Yu.

Is it true that everyone can do his own thing?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

If Chen Zhi really dares to mention this matter again, he will definitely have to break a few bamboo sticks after Xiang Yu and others leave.

Feeling the sudden cold air from behind, Chen Zhi changed his words and said, "Father, Sister Xiang just won. It wasn't all about her strength. Her martial arts were not bad either. At least they were better than those I beat in Chang'an." I don’t know how much.

Therefore, I wanted to ask from whom she learned martial arts. "

"My father taught me this," Xiang Qi replied crisply.

Chen Zhi said nothing and looked at Chen Luo eagerly, as if saying, "Father, look at my father."

After a moment of silence, Chen Luo couldn't help but said: "Brother Yu, look... why don't you teach my Zhi'er a move?"

Xiang Yu scratched his head and said, "This feels quite strange. It seems like I am siding with the enemy."

There is nothing wrong with teaching others martial arts. When he often sees brave soldiers in the army, he will also come forward to give pointers, correct the flaws in the opponent's moves, or make suggestions on steps, breath, etc., to improve the overall level of those soldiers.

Those suggestions are made to subordinates or companions. The main reason is to see them happy. In addition, they can improve the strength of the army and build morale.

The kid in front of me made an appointment to challenge A Qi three years later.

If he teaches himself, if he really wins three years later, will Aqi blame himself?
But this is Jiang Ning's request after all.

Xiang Yu nodded first, but did not respond. He looked at his daughter aside hesitantly.

"What my father taught him was to learn the same moves. I have learned them two or three years ago. How can I still be inferior to him?" Xiang Qi didn't care. Could it be that the opponent she had just easily defeated was because she was afraid that he would surpass him in three years? I tried to dissuade my father from teaching him the moves.

Xiang Qi felt that she was not so timid.

"That's not certain." Chen Zhi also said arrogantly, "My father said, 'You should look at each other with admiration after seeing each other for three days,' let alone three years."

Xiang Qi snorted: "How about we compete again in three days?"

Chen Zhi's face suddenly became stiff. He shook his head and said, "Martial arts, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, are not temporary achievements. You can't be impatient. You can't be impatient."

"Tch, I think you are..."

"Since A Qi has no objection, I will teach you some moves then." Xiang Yu said with a smile, interrupting Xiang Qi's sarcasm.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Zhi hurriedly bowed, his eyes full of curiosity, as if he were meeting Shitu's group of friends.

After all, he was invincible in all of Chang'an. Although the scope was limited to children less than four and a half feet in length, this also earned him a good reputation among the neighbors.

When I go out, the young master of any family sees me and dares to come up and say "Hello, Mr. Straight"?
Otherwise, you will end up like the people in Fan City. After being beaten by yourself, you will have to continue to be beaten by your father when you go home. How embarrassing.

It's just that Chen Zhi deeply understood that his martial arts skills were really shallow. He had learned the rules but not furthered them.

To those little kids, he is the big devil in Chang'an City, but he has seen a veteran-turned-deputy policeman arrest thieves, and he is known to be sure and ruthless in his actions.

The thief's feet, waist, and wrists were struck several times with wooden sticks in an instant, which did not harm his life, but "crippled" the opponent to the greatest extent, and basically lost his ability to resist.

That shocked Chen Zhi at the time.

It turns out that someone can use an ordinary stick so well!
However, he tiptoed to follow the old policeman, and he was discovered by the other party before he had gone thirty or forty feet.

Chen Zhi explained the reason and expressed that he wanted to become a disciple of the old policeman and learn the extremely fierce stick technique.

The old detective laughed loudly at that time and said that he didn't know any stick skills at all. It was an instinct formed by his body after experiencing countless battles and surviving the battlefield.After becoming a detective, he often aimed at the opponent's neck, back of the head and chest, hitting too hard. Now he is slowly changing to less lethal areas.

However, he found this child who suddenly appeared quite interesting, so he asked his colleagues to escort the thief back, while he cooked a plate of beans, talked about the past for half an afternoon, and patiently answered some of Chen Zhi's questions. .

Finally, he was about to send Chen Zhi back home. Knowing his identity, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Compared to Marquis Yang Xia and King Xiang, I am nothing more than the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. If you let me teach you, let me If my former comrades find out, I'm afraid they will get ridicule instead of envy."

It was with this kind of knowledge that Chen Zhi felt that he really wanted to make progress.But when he looked at his father who was immersed in papers and books all day long, he suspected that the old policeman was wrong. The big man should have another Yang Xia Hou. This Yang Xia Hou didn't look like he was good at martial arts.

Seeing Chen Zhi's excited look, Chen Luo sighed helplessly.

It is said that women cannot stay in college. My son has not grown up yet, and I have just said a few words to Xiang Yu, and my heart is about to be abducted.

He stretched out his hand to flick a piece of mud off Chen Zhi's shoulder, and urged: "Go and take a bath quickly. If your mother sees you like this, then don't even think about hearing anything else from her mouth during dinner this month." Something happened."

After Liu Le got married, he became more talkative.

It was as if all the unspoken and unsaid words from her childhood had been left until now.

Chen Luo would not be upset, no matter how much she talked, as long as she was not reviewing and approving documents, he could pick up the conversation at any time.

However, my two sons were not that patient, especially Chen Zhi, who would complain to Chen Luo in private, saying that his mother was too nagging.

Hearing Chen Luo's words, Chen Zhi's expression changed as expected, and he looked around frequently, fearing that his mother would appear from somewhere and see him like this.

Then he bowed nervously and said, "Father, I won't interrupt you and uncle to reminisce about old times. I'm going to take a shower first."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhi trotted away without looking back.

After Chen Zhi left, Chen Luo asked his servants to clean up the courtyard. The fight between the two was not intense, but they kicked down several flower pots and crushed two lawns, which looked a bit messy.

Next, Xiang Qi was taken away by Yu Ji, leaving Chen Luo and Xiang Yu room to discuss business matters.

The two of them walked leisurely in the courtyard without getting straight to the point.

After all, we can talk about business at any time, but the opportunity to talk about old times face to face only comes once every three to five years.

Xiang Yu looked at the courtyard and said with a smile: "The last time I came to Chang'an, the courtyard was not arranged like this, right?"

"At that time, there was no pavilion, no rockery, and two or three corridors were missing. It really didn't look like a place." Chen Luo raised his head and recalled a few major changes.

Xiang Yu rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and said, "But your courtyard feels familiar to me, as if I've seen it before somewhere."

Chen Luo smiled and said: "There are thousands of courtyards in the world, including pavilions, potted plants, and ponds. These elements are really common."

"More, more." Xiang Yu stopped rubbing his chin with his right hand, "The familiar feeling it gives me comes from its style."

Chen Luo suddenly realized and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect you to see this. Brother Yu, do you remember Pei Gong?"

"Of course I remember." Xiang Yu nodded and said slowly, "I happened to be nearby at that invitation banquet, so I rushed over. Jiang Ning, weren't you there at the time... Oh! Yes, yes, yes, I know this feeling of familiarity has never stopped. Why are you here? It's quite similar to Peigong."

Chen Luo responded and said: "The style of the courtyard layout is indeed the same. I invited the craftsmen who built and designed Peigong to Yangxia. Later, some of them designed such a small courtyard. I thought it was good, so I His plan was adopted.”

Those craftsmen are indeed geniuses in this field, with unique aesthetics. After communicating with Mohist disciples, they even acquired the concept of fine design.

During those days, they continuously produced various design plans, from palaces to temples to courtyards, and the drawings piled up in mountains.

Chen Luo selected some of them and sent them to the palace. He also left some of his favorite plans and turned them into real scenes. This courtyard is one of them.

"That's it." Xiang Yu looked around again and praised from the bottom of his heart, "Jiang Ning, the scenery in your small courtyard is very interesting. Compared with the exquisite design here, my Chu Palace seems to be noble, but it is less It was somewhat peaceful, but it finally fell into the cliché."

"No matter what, the house is for living in anyway. Just like it and feel happy." Chen Luo answered with a smile. After all, practicality is the most basic requirement of a house.

He could also sleep soundly on the dry and hard bed in his own company's military tent. When he was on the road in a hurry, he could also take a nap on horseback.If the house is big, just decorate it as much as you like for the sake of beauty. There is no need to treat it as an offering to ancestors or use it to show off and compare.

Xiang Yu said with emotion: "Every time Jiang Ning says something, I feel it makes sense. This is probably why I choose to listen to you every time you make suggestions."

"Brother Yu came to me this time, what else do you want to ask about, and what advice did you hear?" Looking at each other, the corners of Chen Luo's mouth rose slightly, knowing that they were about to talk about business.

Xiang Yu grinned and said, "I would like to ask how the palace of the King of Chu should be arranged so that it can bloom like a brocade?"

When asked about the layout of the Chu Palace, the answer I wanted was not the design drawings.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Luo slowly spoke out: "A mountain is not high, but it is famous if it has immortals. The reason why the Epang Palace, which has not even been built yet, is known to the world is because the person who ordered its construction was Ying Zheng.

Therefore, the resident of Chu Palace is Brother Yu, and its name is also known to the world. The "flowers like brocade" you need are actually like this.

There is a difference between a temporary "blooming bloom" and a long-term brilliance.

A high-rise building was erected, a banquet was held for guests, and the building collapsed, perhaps within three to forty years.

Therefore, if you want to design a palace that is full of flowers but long-lasting, you must put a lot of effort into it. I don't know if Brother Yu has this determination.

After all, even if there is a risk of collapse of the currently flourishing palace, it will still take 50 to [-] years. We can live in it with peace of mind for the rest of our lives. "

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Yu nodded heavily and said, "Please Jiang Ning teach me."

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Luo lowered his voice and said: "Brother Yu, if you want to build a palace that will not collapse for hundreds of years, you must first check whether the foundation is solid; secondly, ensure that the load-bearing beams in the palace will not rot, and have a replacement plan; Once again, the main hall must be equipped with warnings against storms and earthquakes; and..."

The rise and fall of a dynasty lasts only a hundred years, and an individual's legacy often disappears in more than ten years after his death.

Chen Luo has considered all aspects, but in practice, if he wants to build a "palace" that will last for hundreds of years, even if it is perfect, it still requires a little bit of luck.

I just said these things, as a guide and reference, it is completely sufficient.

"That's right." Xiang Yu acknowledged softly, and at the same time raised his head slightly and sighed, "No one knows me better than you."

----

The original meaning of this idiom refers to the deep friendship between Chen Luo and Xiang Yu. It later describes the deep friendship and mutual trust between friends.Relevant allusions come from "Historical Records: The Family of King Wulie of Chu". Xiang Yu said: "No one who knows me has ever passed Jiangning."Its structure is rather formal, and it can serve as an object in a sentence and has a positive connotation. ——"Complete Modern Chinese Dictionary (Ninth Edition)"
