Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 124
Chen Sibao's body was traumatized, and he recovered within a few days of recuperation.But in the past, he lost the fight outside, and his father's way of punishing him was also terrible.

Usually, they stripped off their good clothes, changed into a set of rags and threw them to a certain section of the capital camp outside the city. The old friend of Xiangcheng Bo was sitting there, and he was treated as an ordinary soldier. Put it back after ten days.

He ate poorly, slept poorly, and suffered minor injuries. Chen Sibao, who was used to a wealthy life, could bear this. Every time he came back, he stomped his feet and swore that he would not go back even if he was beaten to death.

This is also Chen Sibao's fighting with the children of various families in the capital, he has always moved forward bravely, and is willing to learn from his family's soldiers and generals.

But this time it was indeed a big defeat. He didn't tell his family about the slap at the beginning, and now it's so embarrassing to lead the military general to find a place, and he doesn't know how to be punished by his own father.

Thinking about the beggar-like days in the Beijing camp outside the city, Chen Sibao shuddered and wanted to think of a reason not to go back, but there was no way.

The housekeeper who came to invite him back even Chen Jinsheng, Boss Xiangcheng, treated him politely. It is said that those who followed his grandfather from his life to death in Datong back then would definitely not be polite to him.

After dawdling for a long time, he still had to go back, so he could only follow the old housekeeper on his return journey with a bitter face.

Chen Sibao didn't expect to know anything from the housekeeper, he was listless and dejected all the way, and when he entered the mansion, his father's entourage was waiting at the main entrance.

"Second young master, hurry up and go with the young one, the master is in a hurry to let you pass?"

"...The gate of this city is about to be closed, don't rush to send me out of the city tonight!"

Chen Sibao muttered resentfully, the entourage turned around in astonishment, and said with a smile:

"What are you going to do out of the city? Master is very happy today!"

Of course, Chen Sibao understands the rules of his family. If his father wants to concoct him, the easy-going and housekeeper will be silent and will not say anything to him, but if they are happy, they are willing to tell him news, to earn favors and so on.

Could it be that my family is lucky, what happy things happened to my father, Chen Sibao wondered, and he arrived at the small dining room after a while.

Uncle Xiangcheng's mansion is vast, and there are many people in the mansion. It is possible that those who eat here are Uncle Xiangcheng and his wife, and other concubines are not allowed to enter. After arriving here, Chen Sibao's mind is more stable, and his father eats here. That must be a good time.

Chen Sibao walked in lightly, and when he arrived at the dining room, he saw his parents talking and laughing in a low voice. It seemed that he was fine today. His face immediately sank, and he whispered:

"Useless things, it's nothing more than misbehaving outside. You can't even beat a group of half-grown children. My reputation in the fighting field is all lost by you kid!"

Uncle Xiangcheng was known for his bravery back then. Originally, after his grandfather's generation, the Chen family had already belonged to a third-rate noble family in the capital. Hearing his father's words, Chen Sibao immediately turned bitter. He thought that his father was in a good mood and would not care about this matter, so why did he bring it up again.

"It's because of your father's supervision. You have also practiced some skills, and you haven't lost the face of our Chen family."

Unexpectedly, the words turned again, Chen Sibao's eyes widened, not knowing why, Chen Jinsheng snorted again when he saw his stupid appearance, and said:
"What are you doing standing there, come and eat!!"

Mrs. Xiangcheng Bo looked at Chen Sibao lovingly, and said with a smile:

"The empress dowager summoned my mother today, and the empress dowager even praised you for coming, saying that you already know how to march and fight at a young age, which is rare and capable among the nobles of the capital."

"It's all over, what can I say to be capable? When I was the same age as this unfilial son, I had already fought to the death with Japanese pirates in the south."

Uncle Xiangcheng took a sip from his wine glass, and interjected disdainfully, at this point, even Chen Sibao himself knew that this was not a reprimand but pleasure.

The honorable family, except for the families of the heroes in the founding of the country and the Jingnan period, the rest are all conferred because of their in-laws with the emperor and their great achievements. Such titles as Duke, Marquis, and Bo are all courtiers and emperors. Well, if the emperor who rewarded them is in power, he is rich and honorable. If they change to another emperor, then they have to be careful. They don’t know when they will be deprived of their titles and wealth, even if there is no disaster.It is also marginalized, alienated and defeated within a few generations.

Chen Jinsheng relied on his military exploits to suppress the Japanese to restore the prosperity of Uncle Xiangcheng's family, but seeing the world is peaceful, Chen Sibao's eldest brother is honest, and Chen Sibao is stubborn. The decline of wealth seems to be predictable. The reason for the good looks.

But no one thought that the pie fell from the sky, that Chen Sibao was known by the empress dowager because of his personal grievances and group fights with others, and that the empress dowager did not blame Chen Sibao for his recklessness, but summoned Mrs. Xiangcheng and praised him A few words.

Even though it was just a few words, Mrs. Xiangcheng cried all the way in the carriage when she came out of the palace, it was tears of joy.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng summoned her to praise her, what kind of grace and honor this is, the Empress Dowager Li has always been strict with the nobles, even her younger brother who was enshrined as a marquis is honest, the Emperor Longqing and the Emperor Wanli these years, just I haven't heard that Queen Mother Li has seen any honorable wife.

As soon as the news spread quickly, as soon as Madam Xiangcheng returned to the mansion, the high-ranking officials in the capital, the wives of the cabinet scholars, the edicts of a certain family, the wives of the Dukes, etc., let their subordinates People come to invite people, go to watch a play and chat, and walk around more.

More people say that they have a daughter or niece who is waiting to be married, and your Sibao young Yingjie, how about making a couple?
This is really emotional. Uncle Xiangcheng's eldest son wanted to find a wife among the noble officials of the capital, but everyone was not optimistic about the future of Uncle Xiangcheng's family. No one agreed. In the end, he just found a commoner. I didn't expect this stubborn and disobedient Chen Sibao to be so popular.

Mrs. Xiangcheng quickly sent someone to ride a fast horse to the outside of the city to invite her master back. She explained what Chen Sibao had done outside the summons today. With such good luck, he won the favor of the empress dowager.

Even though they didn't know why, the couple were still happy and happy, and they called their son back just to ask what happened, but they didn't expect to ask for a long time, but they still didn't find out what happened, which made people even more confused.

"The empress dowager arranged for you and your three little brothers to go to that martial arts hall to learn skills. In fact, the martial arts school run by the Imperial Horse Supervisor in private over there recruits the children of generals to learn skills."

At the end, Mrs. Xiangcheng got to the point. When he went to the martial arts gym, Chen Sibao felt bitter when he heard it. Uncle Xiangcheng reprimanded:

"The empress dowager's favor, is it possible to refuse it? Tomorrow, I will ask you and I will pass it. It is a blessing that fell from the sky that you still have such a face."

While speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, but Chen Jinsheng's voice became low and low:
"At first, I thought that when your father and I were old, we would be defeated. It would be enough for you and your brother to live a peaceful life. I didn't expect a blessing from the sky, and there was hope to revitalize the family. Xiaobao, study hard in the martial arts gym." , don't embarrass our family."

Chen Sibao had never seen his always rough father talking like this, for a moment he felt that something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't speak, so he could only lower his head and eat food.

*****
On the third day of May, two martial arts instructors came to take Chen Sibao away. From now on, he can go home once a month, and he will live with everyone in the martial arts hall for the rest of the time.

There are four more students in the martial arts hall, Chen Sibao, Tang Sihai, who is called "Little Tang", and two others. They are all 78 years old, and their stature is also taller than other teenagers in the martial arts hall. Standing in the team It seemed rather abrupt.

Although these people's family conditions are good, they have been exposed to alcohol and sex too early, their physical strength is not so sufficient, and they don't know much about exercises like queues.

Li Wenyuan came to train the four of them alone, starting from the simplest way of standing in line and turning left and right, which was very simple and boring.

The four of them stood upright and couldn't stand it without a stick of incense, while the rest of the teenagers chanted chant and ran around the playground in unison.

"Brother Bao, what are we doing standing here? It's so stupid. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to let people see it!"

Seeing Li Wenyuan go away, Tang Sihai complained in a low voice, but Chen Sibao's body was in a standard standing posture, and he cursed in a low voice:

"You still care about this, you didn't see the eyes of those boys staring at us, think about what to do later!!"

It was only then that Tang Sihai noticed that the teenagers who were running on the track were staring at the four people in the playground with uneasy expressions.

*****
"Captains, captains, wasn't it a misunderstanding that day, we will practice together here from now on, why hurt our peace?"

Chen Sibao's face was full of forced smiles, and he clasped his fists again and again.

During the recess, when the teachers entered the room, the teenagers surrounded them and stared at the four of them viciously. Chen Sibao broke into a cold sweat. Everyone was unarmed, but how could four of them beat a hundred of them? When you have to bow your head, you must bow your head, and quickly speak softly, hoping to hide.

Standing at the front was Emperor Wanli, who had already rolled up his sleeves, and with a ferocious expression on Xiaopang's face, he pointed at Chen Sibao and shouted loudly:
"It's him who led people to our martial arts hall to make trouble, bully Huwei, and beat him together!!"

The teenagers responded in unison and rushed forward.
