On February 20th, he took a vacation. When Guo Shao learned that Mrs. Gao had returned from Hebei, he went to the Dong's Mansion to talk to her about the betrothal gift and thanked her for working **** the marriage.
When it came to Dong's Mansion, Mrs. Gao asked someone to open the door and come out to welcome her. When Guo Shao saw her, he couldn't help but think of the absurdity of the last time. He felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "The weather is getting warmer. Isn't there air in the carriage? My brother's face is red." She said naturally and kindly, and it was like a joke.
Guo Shao saw that Mrs. Gao was so generous, and even wondered: Did she really forget about that day?
The two exchanged a few words of greetings. Mrs. Gao said again: "Dong Zunxun is practicing equestrianism on the Cuju court in Houyuan. I don't know that his uncle is here. My brother is also a military general. Why not go to the court and learn from Zunxun?"
Guo Shao was embarrassed when he heard "his uncle", so he had to say: "Then Sister Yi said, let's go to Cuju Field."
The group then passed through the Sanjin courtyard and then entered the Houyuan. The house is very spacious and there is a Cuju field in the house, which is rare in the inner city of the capital. If Guo Shao remembers correctly, Dong Zunxun is the military capital of Long Jiejun's left side, and his rank is not as high as Li Chuyun; but he can afford to live in such a large yard, and his family is like many servants, and it is true that people from a family are different. Guo Shao Xin said that he is a senior military commander, but Dong Zunxun may not necessarily have money in the army.
Together with Mrs. Gao, walk to a spacious area. I saw that the Cuju field was covered with soft sand, and the edge was planted with a lawn, which was very spacious; there was no ball on the Cuju field, and some grassmen and targets were placed at this time. The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and I saw a young man running on horseback, it was Dong Zunxun.
The sun was shining, and Mrs. Gao spread a delicate silk fan to block her forehead. Seeing Guo Shao look over, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid of getting tanned."
When she raised her fan and walked, she showed a hint of dust, but she still retains the reservedness of a family woman. The two temperaments are integrated, but they are very charming.
There is a stable where the group of people come in, but there is a pavilion not far from the stable. Mrs. Gao said again: "Let’s go and sit in the pavilion. When Dong Zunxun sees us, he will definitely come and visit."
"Good too." Guo Shao nodded.
Sure enough, Dong Zunxun rode over in a short time. Recognizing Guo Shao, he turned over from the horse, stepped forward and knelt on one knee, and simply yelled: "Uncle! Come here, see you guy."
Guo Shao looked embarrassed when he heard his name. He stepped forward to help the young man and said, "You don't need to be polite to follow the training, please hurry up." He recalled Mrs. Gao and said, "Sister Yi returned It’s not long since Tokyo, but I rushed to and fro for my business; I went to the door so many times to harass, disturbing the family happiness of my sister-in-law, and I feel very ashamed."
Unexpectedly, Dong Zunxun said disapprovingly: "Although the kid is committed to filial piety, my mother persuaded me to serve the country with loyalty and work hard in the military camp. Normally, my mother is alone and lonely. She often mentions Uncle Guo and cares about you. Uncle is also the mother’s lifesaver. If the two families often move around, the mother will be happy, and the boy will feel less guilty. There is no suspicion of harassment."
Mrs. Gao also said: "We just have to move around more, otherwise we will all be strange."
Guo Shao said: "It's time to come and go. It's just that I've been in trouble recently and can't walk away for a while."
Mrs. Gao has sat down in the pavilion, folded the fan gently, and said disapprovingly: "Is it about the Zhao family? I heard, brother, don’t be too caring, Zhao Hongyin is too old. , Obviously he was angered by his unfilial son; Zhao Saburo was sought by others to avenge his father. What does it have to do with my brother? His Zhao family is not so domineering yet, and his own people have committed crimes and let their anger go To your head."
Guo Shao nodded and said: "Thank you Sister Yi for speaking for me, but I won't ask them for the time being. It only increases trouble... Dong Zunxun was riding an arrow just now?"
Dong Zunxun laughed and said: "Uncle knows that if you don't practice martial arts for a long time, you will be unfamiliar. I practice hand skills casually. Hey, uncle is the famous general who killed the Northern Han Dynasty with one stone. ?"
Guo Shao said: "I know how to shoot arrows. Shooting arrows immediately will be sparse."
Guo Shao is a general of the Forbidden Army, and he is also known for his personal battles with the Northern Han Dynasty. Dong Zunxun naturally thinks that he has high martial arts skills. Guo Shao can't explain it right now: Do you think that everyone is from a family of military commanders, and hasn't everything been lacking since childhood? Even if the family background is a bit rich, it’s not easy to practice horsemanship. Both horse breeding and venue cost a lot.
Dong Zunxun invited Guo Shao to the stable and said: "Uncle picks a horse at will, let's go on the field to learn from each other."
Guo Shao is inconvenient to postpone too much, and he wants to practice more riding and shooting, and he is also free today. He took a look at the stables and saw that there were seven or eight good horses in it... With one exception, compared to other good horses, it grew low and had brown hairs and was rough, and was chewing slowly there. Grass.
"Mongolian horse?" Guo Shao blurted out.
Dong Zunxun said: "The Mongolian horse? This pony is the Tata horse, and it is also a breed of the Khitan horse. It is a horse breed native to Shiweina. Compared with various horses in the Western Regions, Tata is a bit short. They don’t run so fast. But horses can’t look good, and they can’t be underestimated. They have special benefits. They have thick skins, poor eating, cold and heat resistance, and good endurance. It’s said that this horse is on the Tata grassland. Eat some grass seeds to nourish fat in the autumn, and you can ride and fight without food."
Guo Shao said casually after hearing this: "Be good at fighting, you have to fight..." Suddenly, seeing Madam Gao shy and avoiding her face, he suddenly felt that some women were swearing it is good. He changed his words: "The cavalry is too expensive, and a good horse can reduce the burden of logistics."
"Exactly." Dong Zunxun said.
Guo Shao pays much attention to the Nada horse, and feels that it is not the same as the Mongolian horses he has seen in later generations... It is said that the later Mongolian horse breeds have degraded and are not as strong as the original horse breeds. In short, it was this kind of Mongolian horse, which carried the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty from Asia to Europe, and ransacked the world for tens of thousands of miles. No matter how strong the Mongolians were, if they hadn’t had such horses to support their long-distance operations, they would have done it in the days without transportation and delivery. Not the kind of great cause that shocked the world.
He doesn't pick those tall and beautiful famous horses at the moment, he has to ride this broken, gray and stubborn horse that chews grass.
The two immediately rushed to the Cuju field. Guo Shao took a bow and arrow, spotted an arrow target, ran sideways, opened his bow and shot the arrow, "slapped" the string, and the arrow missed the target without accident. Up.
Dong Zunxun was immediately stunned and said: "Uncle Guo is really not humble, your riding and shooting posture is wrong."
Guo Shao didn’t try his best, so he said: “I used to be in the small bottom army infantry camp. I was very familiar with archery alone. I couldn’t touch the way to archery on horseback. Why don’t you teach me?”
Dong Zunxun listened and groaned: "Since Uncle is proficient in archery, it is not difficult to ride and shoot. As long as you find the right posture more proficiently, it makes no difference to archery peacefully...but the posture has to be accurate first, it's up to the kid. "
"Drive!" Dong Zunxun kicked his horse and ran, dashing across in front of an archery target. After twenty or thirty steps, he immediately stretched his upper body and sat upright, his arms drew his bow calmly and rhythmically. Seeing that the arrow flew diagonally with a "swish", as if it was floating, but it immediately hit the bullseye as if it had a long eye.
Guo Shao praised when he saw it: "Good! Good shot!"
He has a desire for him right now, not only is he eager to learn that martial arts, now Guo Shao rarely rushes to the battle personally, the martial arts level is just like that, it is a big deal that he will not be called a general...but As a military commander, a person who takes leading troops into battle is his career, and he instinctively wants to learn more advanced technology. The most important thing is that Dong Zunxun's graceful and powerful posture on horseback and archery attracted Guo Shao.
In the sprint of the horse, the stretched body lines and the leisurely movements... are full of a sense of power and beauty different from the feminine and feminine, which is better than dancing.
Guo Shao was swaying to try, and Dong Zunxun returned from riding his horse and let him learn the coherent posture. Guo Shao turned from an "elder" to a good and humble student for a while, studying attentively. When Dong Zunxun makes an action, he follows it, and then connects these actions together.
The two played on the sand for a long time. Guo Shao forgot about it and forgot what he was doing at Dong's house today.
In addition, Guo Shao felt that he had a good foundation for archery, and firmly believed that it was not too late to learn to ride and shoot, and that his enthusiasm would be greater.
Dong Zunxun taught him how to move and some skills, and said: "The side shot is too difficult to catch the opportunity at first. Try it from the front." After saying that he rode the horse first, rushed towards an archery target. The arrow was released at thirty or forty steps, and one hit hit the target. Guo Shao followed behind, and let an arrow float away, shooting nothing.
"Mother!" Guo Shao cursed.
The ugly fur mount under the seat yelled twice as if sneezing, as if laughing. Guo Shao couldn't help but pat on the horse's face: "Even you laugh at me?"
Dong Zunxun listened to "haha laughed." When Guo Shao turned to look at him, Mrs. Gao in the pavilion not far away also covered her mouth and smiled brightly.
Dong Zunxun stopped his laughter and suddenly asked: "Will uncle use a spear to stabbing?"
Guo Shao shook his head and said: "I am not as proficient in the eighteen weapons that are ready to fight. I have tried it with a saber, but I haven't tried it with a spear."
"So that's the case." Dong Zunxun said, "You first try to sprint the grass man with a cherry gun, and then treat the arrow as a cherry gun, from near to far, farther and farther... so you hit the shot. ."
Guo Shao said: "I will try."
Dong Zunxun personally demonstrated in the front in the same way, and Guo Shao was behind, and the two riders rushed to the row of scarecrows on the other side. Dong Zunxun rushed closer, raised his spear, shouted "Drink!" and stabbed the grass man with one shot. Guo Shao also followed the same pattern. He spotted it in close combat, but he didn't stab him, and shot another scarecrow down.
The two were practicing on the sand while talking about skills. Before he knew it, the sky gradually dimmed, and Guo Shao realized that he had spent a long time in Dong's Mansion.
