Chapter 89 Local Areas
"Practice with me. You are too weak. If you don't work hard, you won't live long." Zhang Huaiyu said to Gu Qing seriously in an open space halfway up the mountain.
Gu Qing was filled with frustration. This woman was so strong that she actually carried him all the way to the mountainside. It was very embarrassing.
She is so violent, her words are so unpleasant, and her emotional intelligence is absolutely negative. Who would dare to marry her in the future?
"You are destined to live a lonely life." Gu Qing glared at her.
"If I don't bother you, it's not a bad thing to be alone all your life." Zhang Huaiyu said calmly.
Holding Gu Qing's collar with one hand and bending his knees with the other, Zhang Huaiyu shouted: "First step into a horse stance, squat down, and don't move."
Who was Gu Qing? He was a man with no emotions, how could he be manipulated by a woman? So he stood up straight and stared at her provocatively. He had never been afraid of anyone in his entire life.
Zhang Huaiyu calmly took out a small dagger from the storage space on his chest and trimmed his nails as if no one was watching.
Gu Qing then obediently began to squat on horseback.
You are not harming yourself. There is no harm in exercising your body well. Just treat it as if you hired a personal fitness trainer for free.
The boring practice career began. After squatting for a long time, Gu Qing felt that his legs were sore and numb, and his thigh muscles trembled uncontrollably. Gu Qing still gritted his teeth and persisted.
After half an hour of burning incense, Gu Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but asked: "How soon can I take a break?"
Zhang Huaiyu lowered his head and concentrated on pruning the house. He said without raising his head: "Without rest, I squatted until I died."
Gu Qing fell to the ground in despair, looked up at the blue sky above his head, and sighed: "Kill me, life may not be such a fun thing, really."
Zhang Huaiyu frowned: "It's only been so long now that you can't hold on anymore. When your parents taught me, I was much better than you. I was only four years old that year."
"Take a break, chat, let's talk..."
Zhang Huaiyu sighed helplessly. She actually wanted to teach Gu Qing the martial arts skills of the Gu family and his wife, so that she could have a successor, but it was a pity that Gu Qing did not want to learn.
Gu Qing sat up and said, "Do all of you who travel in the world have nicknames?"
"What is a 'nickname'?"
"They are some very majestic names, necessary names for young heroes, such as 'Tiezhang Town Shenzhou so-and-so', 'Fire Cloud Evil God so-and-so', 'Flying Kitesy So-and-so', most of the names are similar to them
My kung fu or some famous deeds are related, do you have a name?"
Zhang Huaiyu shook his head decisively: "No."
Gu Qing murmured in disappointment: "You don't even have a name, how can you have the nerve to travel around the world? Did I meet another parallel importer?"
"A good person has a name, so why would he give himself a nickname?" Zhang Huaiyu asked in confusion.
"Awesome, as the saying goes, 'The shadow of a tree is the name of a person.' If you encounter injustice when traveling in the world, you only need to report your name, and the villain will be frightened and flee. This is the style of a hero."
Zhang Huaiyu said speechlessly: "If you really become a famous knight, wouldn't it be easier to tell him his name? Why do you have to make up a nickname?"
Gu Qing sighed: "Forget it, you don't understand. It's hard for me to erase the generation gap of more than a thousand years."
"If you traveled around the world, what nickname would you give yourself?"
Gu Qing coughed and clasped his fists with his hands in a heroic gesture: "I'm the 'Megatronic Shiqiao Village and some parts of the southeast and west-southeast of Qingcheng County,' Gu Qing, please come!"
Zhang Huaiyu opened his eyes in confusion, unable to digest it for a long time: "Bureau...local area?"
Gu Qing then patiently explained: "Because I am a young hero who has just come out, many places have not yet had time to be affected by my power, so it is only a local area for the time being. In time, the name should be changed to 'most areas of Qingcheng County'"
'."
Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment and said: "If you gave me a nickname, what would you choose?"
“‘Three bowls of rice for a straight girl who lives alone in steel and violence’ Zhang Huaiyu, I’m asking you if you are afraid.”
Zhang Huaiyu suddenly changed his face: "You squat down like a horse for an hour. If you dare to move, I will kill you. Squat quickly!"
…………
For several days in a row, Zhang Huaiyu would carry Gu Qing up the mountain to practice Kung Fu every morning. He did not teach anything, only squatting on a horse, which made Gu Qing's life worse than death. Every time he asked Zhang Huaiyu what his intention was in forcing him to squat on a horse, Zhang Huaiyu was too lazy to explain.
The weather is getting colder and colder, everything is quiet in winter, and the villagers are reluctant to go out. Everyone in the village is doing well this winter. Many children have bought new clothes for the winter. Some villagers who work hard can actually burn charcoal in luxury.
Heating is a welcome change in Shiqiao Village.
During the twelfth lunar month, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing came to the village and excitedly told Gu Qing two pieces of good news.
The first is the document from the Zhen Guan Office, which officially designated the porcelain kiln as a tribute porcelain. A total of 10,000 pieces of porcelain of various types must be paid tribute to Chang'an every year. In the future, the number of tributes will increase when the scale of the porcelain kiln is expanded.
Being designated as tribute porcelain this time did not go smoothly at first. After the Zhen Guan Office sent the porcelain samples to the palace, they were rejected by the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
It makes sense that many things these days require money to clear the way, and because the porcelain kiln was closed down, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were so busy that they did not have time to go to Chang'an to clear the way.
Later, things took a turn for the worse. For some reason, the Internal Affairs Bureau approved the documents from the Zhen Guan Office and approved the tribute porcelain very efficiently.
Gu Qing roughly understood what Xianyu Zhongtong should have done in it. He had a good relationship with Yang Zhao, the cousin of the most favored imperial concubine today. The emperor Li Longji also trusted Yang Zhao and Yang Guifei. A small place wanted to pay tribute to Yang Zhao.
Under the operation of the Yang brothers and sisters, this trivial matter of bringing porcelain into the palace was basically not difficult at all. It was settled by just passing the word.
The second good news is that Huang Wenjin has left Qingcheng County. The new county magistrate sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is named Wei. He just arrived in Qingcheng County yesterday. After Huang Wenjin completed the handover with Wei County Magistrate, he immediately left for Shuzhou to serve as Sitian and join the army.
It was indeed good news, but Gu Qing couldn't be happy.
His legs were weak and he couldn't stand straight.
After Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing left, Gu Qing continued to squat on horseback.
At the end of the mountain road, a man walked from a distance.
This man was thin, and his white clothes had not been washed for an unknown period of time, and were a little yellowed. His walking posture was a bit strange, and his lower body looked unsteady. When he got closer, Gu Qing smelled a strong smell of alcohol from him.
Gu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at him.
It was a stranger that he had never seen before. He suddenly appeared in this mountain village for some reason. From the smell of alcohol on his body, I guessed that he drank too much and got lost?
This man is about fifty years old, with a somewhat vicissitudes of life. He has a wine gourd hanging on his waist and a sword on the other side. The most interesting thing is his eyes, which are full of wild and undisciplined
He looked like he didn't care about anything. Even if a steel knife was placed on his neck, he would take a sip of wine and then throw his head away with laughter.
After the man approached, he also looked at Gu Qing, looking up and down, and saw that Gu Qing was squatting on a horse. The man laughed, shook his head and said: "It's just a flower display, it's really useless."
After saying that, he passed by Gu Qing and staggered down the mountain. After walking a few steps, the man burped, suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and then chanted in a hissing voice: "Hey, how dangerous! Shu Dao!"
It is more difficult than climbing to the sky!"
