I just went ahead and got a small samurai training uniform, and also asked someone to get a small wooden sword.

On the third day, Xining was wearing a training suit with wide trousers that could be lowered at the waist, holding a wooden sword, and waiting for the dejected and unwilling Zaemon in the large training room specially opened for him.

Aling, who was kneeling next to her, rolled her eyes, as if he was the only one who was unhappy, but in fact she was unhappy. As a personal maid, she had to come with her and watch the fifth lady go crazy. Eat meat and take a bath.

Forget it, now I have to practice sword practice again.

"Miss Takashi, do you really want to learn swordsmanship?" Zaemon said bitterly. He was just a sword-carrying servant who looked after the house, ran errands and delivered letters, and taught the lady how to learn swordsmanship. Probably no sword-carrying servant had ever done this.

"Of course!" Xining held the wooden sword used by children with both hands and pointed at Zaemon, looking quite impressive. "Where should I learn first?"

He couldn't teach him this. If the Taoist master found out about it, he wouldn't have anyone beat him to death.

Of course Shining knew what Zaemon was thinking. It was only the Heian period, and there was no concept of samurai and seppuku. A servant with a sword was just a servant who knew how to use a sword.

Don't use Fujiwara Michichiro to pressure him. Instead, remind him to go back and give his master's opinion.

So he directly raised his wooden sword and struck at Zuemon.

Zaemon subconsciously raised his wooden sword to block, but he only dared to block and did not dare to fight back. If his martial arts skills were not good, he would definitely be beaten on the head, but even so, he was in a very embarrassing situation.

Xining was a little out of breath after the beating. It seemed that Zaemon was unwilling to teach. He would rather be beaten than teach.

She turned to look at the kneeling men next to her, who were trying hard to keep their lips from smiling.

He casually pointed at the first one with his wooden sword, "You, come here and practice with me."

The servant was stunned for a moment, but when Zuemon heard this, he was happy. He quickly put on a straight face and stared at his eyes, "Why are you still staying there? Didn't you hear the lady's order?"

The servant had no choice but to stand up, and slowly walked over with a sad face as if he was about to be executed.

"Oh, by the way." Xining bowed to Zaemon, "Thanks for the advice."

Zaemon was so frightened that his feet went weak, he knelt down, and quickly said, "I don't dare!"

Xining looked confused, "Don't we need to bow and thank you during competitions?"

Zaemon smiled bitterly, where did this fifth lady hear all these messy things, and bow and thank her even after a fight?

Since there is no need to bow, then don't be pretentious. I have long been tired of all kinds of extremely hypocritical red tape in this era.

Xining picked up the wooden sword and pointed at the servant holding the wooden sword, "Take the move, ah~~~"

For a long time, Xining "sparred" with three servants in a row. He was so tired that he stopped. He sat on the ground and waved his hands panting, "Okay, okay. That's it for today."

Aling immediately ran over with Natsuki and Natsuki, handed over a wet cloth, and fanned herself, saying "Miss Zunzi is really amazing, yes, she is amazing..."

The servants found it funny. This kind of scene can be seen in wealthy houses, but the one surrounded by the noble master is a young lady, and now she is a young lady. Why does it look so weird!

Xi Ning stood up and said, "This will be used as a training room. You must practice diligently and not neglect your martial arts. When you return to my father's place one day, you must not be inferior to those in the mansion."

Seeing the fifth lady leaving with a group of maids, the eleven people looked at each other with big eyes. It seemed that they had all gained a little weight recently. It is difficult not to get fat if they eat well and have nothing to do.

Zaemon nodded, "What Ms. Takako said makes sense. From today on, everyone must practice for an hour every day. When not on duty, come here to compete with each other."

"Yes~" All the servants could only nod.

"Now those who are on duty will go out, and those who are not on duty will stay!"

Soon the sound of wooden swords clashing with each other during various sword competitions was heard in the room, and from time to time there were shouts and cheers.

Xining had dinner, went to the hot spring again, and lay in bed. Although his arms were a little sore, they were not as sleepy as before. He felt a little tired and should be able to fall asleep soon. It seemed that there was no harm in exercising.

, keep working hard tomorrow.

The next day, Xining stood in the practice room again holding a wooden sword on time.

A group of servants were just messing around with the fifth lady. Those who didn't dare to hurt the fifth lady used their wooden swords to resist. However, they felt that the swords they were attacking were getting heavier and heavier, and the angles were getting more and more tricky. Sometimes, even if they were distracted, they could be hit by it.

Stung once or twice.

Summer is coming soon. A dragonfly skips over the lotus pond and stops on a lotus bud that is about to bloom. The entire lotus pond is already covered with lotus leaves, and many pink lotus flowers are blooming.

The cicadas on the trees were making a long noise, and several slaves in summer clothes were rowing a boat. They were all thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were still childish, picking lotus leaves on the lotus pond.

Akui, who was wearing summer clothes, and three other old maids were enjoying the cool in the pavilion by the river. When they saw her, one of them shouted, "What are you doing?"

A slave smiled and replied, "Miss Zunzi needs some lotus leaves and said she would eat lotus leaf chicken tonight."

Lotus leaf chicken? Stir-fried chicken with lotus leaves?

"The chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves and cooked... Look, that lotus leaf is nice, big and tender..." There was a lot of laughter on the lake.

"Eating meat again..." One of the old maids waved her fan gently, her tone a bit dissatisfied.

"It's not meat, it's chicken." Akui corrected.

"Chicken and pork are both meat, so what's the difference?" one person said, immediately attracting comments from others.

"The fifth lady spends her days thinking of ways to cook meat, and even practices sword practice with sword-carrying servants. If she doesn't shave her eyebrows or stain her teeth, no one will care about her?"

It is said to be a summer suit, but it also has two layers. Wearing it in the middle of summer, it is very hot. Aoi kept shaking her fan, "Mrs. Akiko doesn't care, we slaves should stay out of trouble. Mind your mouth, this is

Do your duty as a slave."

This is a bit of a warning, but some people don't believe it. Akui really said no to Mrs. Mingzi. Mrs. Mingzi was born into a noble family, and she really allowed Miss Fifth to do such nonsense. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Now in the palace

Everyone outside the palace knew that Miss Fifth was an ugly girl who didn't pay much attention to appearance and her eyebrows were not shaved, like two caterpillars hanging from her eyes.

When these words reached the fifth young lady, the fifth lady not only did not feel embarrassed, but actually laughed and said that being an ugly girl is not bad, and it is also good to be an ugly girl.

I really don’t know what Miss Fifth and Akui are thinking.

"I envy them so much..." Akui let out a long sigh, "They are so young, and being young is good."

Then he thought of something else, "It's a hot day today. It seems like I'm going to see Miss Zunzi, but she wants me to wear the same clothes. That Tang suit is loose and comfortable, but this dress is simply suffocating."

Everyone thought that Akui was just talking casually, but they didn't expect that she actually went to ask for an encore, asked for a dress, went back and made one according to her own size and put it on.

Seeing that Aoi was shaking her fan much less than usual, the maid also tried to make one and put it on, and it turned out to be more comfortable. So there was an interesting scene in the village where half wore Hanfu and half wore kimono.
