Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liang Yi’s lips twitched. Hey, dear mother!
But then he thought, ‘Did my parents ever spare the rod in their discipline?1
When Huangfu Lingyao was ntioned, and the worry about his injury crept into Liu Shii’s mind, she grew a bit anxious.
At that mont, she had already been led out the door by Madam Yin. Shortly after, the door slamd shut heartlessly!
Liu Shii,”…”
I haven’t left yet!
Liang Sheng said, “Let’s go, to the guest courtyard.”
Liu Shii had no choice but to follow him, but she was extrely uneasy. She said, “Ninth Brother was also coming to Yong’an Inn because of my invitation. If sothing goes wrong, it’s because I forced him. Grandpa won’t punish him severely, will he? It won’t be too harsh, right?”
“Don’t worry,” Liang Sheng replied. “Our family’s young ones all grew up this way. Grandfather isn’t soone who can’t differentiate between right and wrong. For matters of principle, he won’t tolerate them and will surely give a sound spanking. But for minor mistakes, it’s usually a punishnt that serves as a lesson, encouraging progress. For example…”
His indifferent expression suddenly revealed a hint of a smile. “Stand in a horse stance until dawn!”
Liu Shii,”…”
Indeed, that would promote improvent!
Practicing the horse stance was excellent for building foundational skills!
So, Liang Yi was most likely not going to get any sleep tonight!
Liang Sheng added, “Or for instance, while in the horse stance, each arm is to hold a bucket of water!”
Liu Shii was taken aback.
Liang Sheng’s words weren’t even finished when he added, “And wear another bucket on your head!”
Liu Shii,”…”
She thought that was already pushing it to the limit, but to her surprise, Liang Sheng continued, “If you spill any water, you’ll get a beating!”
Liu Shii widened her eyes. “So, Ninth Brother is still going to get punished?” “This beating isn’t because of his mistake today,” Liang Sheng explained. “Your grandfather has always been a man of his word. If he says he won’t punish Little Nine for this, then he won’t. But when Little Nine is being punished, it’s usually because his fundantals are not solid. How can they not be corrected?”
Liang Sheng sighed with his hands behind his back and said, “The n of the Liang family may have to go to the battlefield soday. If they neglect their training even a bit, it could cost them their lives on the battlefield. That’s why there’s no room for complacency during practice.”
Liu Shii understood. “The hardships they endure during training will save them a drop of blood on the battlefield.”
That’s what it ant to be a warrior.
Even in tis of peace, one couldn’t neglect martial skills because they might be called to the front lines at any mont, ready to sacrifice their lives.
One becos a hero at the cost of many lives. How many return from ancient battles?
Thinking about this, she felt a surge of passion welling up in her heart, almost bringing tears to her eyes.
At this mont, she also understood why Liang Wei looked down on Liu Fuyu, that literary scholar son-in-law.
All talk and no action, full of empty words but driven by personal gain!
And in the Great Shu Dynasty, they even valued literary pursuits more than martial ones, further diminishing the status of warriors!
It was so unfair!
Liang Sheng looked at her approvingly and said, “So, you don’t have to worry. Little Nine will be fine. He’s been a little troublemaker since he was a child. When I start my morning horse stances, he’s already getting beaten. By the ti I finish my exercises and start reading and writing, I look, and this little monkey is jumping around again.”
He was only a few years older than Liang Sheng, but their destinies were entirely different.
Liu Shii had no words.
She sighed and turned to look at Liang Sheng’s profile, suddenly saying, “Seventh Uncle, you’re in your twenties now.. Why haven’t you married yet? What if the Emperor suddenly orders you to guard the border? Wouldn’t that be a delay?”
