The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 56 Su Lun's Plan
Under Qingfeng's detailed explanation, Su Lun also had a deeper understanding and cognition of the specific division of several major forces in the capital. On the surface, the position of the prince seems to be quite stable and unshakable. After all, whether it is the top leaders of the civil and military groups, they are all the most steadfast and loyal supporters of His Royal Highness the Prince. However, the more critical factor lies in the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor. Although it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has shown a certain degree of recognition of His Royal Highness the Prince, as the saying goes, "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger", the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and no one can accurately guess the true thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, we must not take it lightly or have the slightest intention of slacking off because of the current situation.
Recalling the thrilling and treacherous struggles for the throne that he had witnessed in TV dramas, Su Lun couldn't help but feel alert and secretly warned himself: Although he was unwilling to get involved in the treacherous disputes among these powerful people, now that he has been trapped in the situation against his will, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very kind to him, he must be more cautious and careful in his words and actions in the future.
Unconsciously, more than an hour had passed. At this time, housekeeper Su came to report that the tailor had arrived at the mansion. So, Su Lun and the servants in the mansion measured the size. This time, Su Lun customized four sets of clothes for himself, and also customized four sets for Su Zheng. As for the other servants in the mansion, each of them ordered two sets. In addition, considering the special circumstances that may arise, four more sets of spare clothes were specially made. Since custom-made clothes require a certain amount of time and energy, it takes at least three to four days to complete all the clothes. Su Lun asked the cloth shop to send a few sets of ready-made clothes according to the size.
After a simple lunch, Su Lun couldn't wait to pull Qing Feng out the door. Seeing Su Lun so anxious, Qing Feng couldn't help but feel curious: "Captain Su, why are you in such a hurry to go out? Is there something important?"
"Hehe, I just want to buy some tools to practice archery! And it just so happens that we have two empty yards in our house. I plan to convert one of them into a place specifically for practicing martial arts!" Su Lun said excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.
"So that's how it is. Captain Su, you are really obsessed with martial arts!" Qingfeng exclaimed.
Hearing this, Su Lun scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained, "It's not that exaggerated! I just feel that although I have some skills in fighting, when it comes to archery, I really can't show it off. And as the saying goes, there are always people better than you. There are many hidden talents and masters in the capital. If I don't work hard to improve myself, I will soon be left behind by others! If that happens, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Highness..."
After hearing Su Lun's words, Qing Feng couldn't help but admire him and looked at him with new eyes. It turned out that the reason why His Royal Highness praised Su Lun was not without reason. This young man was able to maintain a humble attitude after suddenly gaining such a huge fortune, and he did things with measure and scale, and never forgot to improve himself. It was really precious.
"Captain Su, you are too modest. His Highness has always spoken highly of you. Moreover, your skills are among the best in the capital."
"No, no, I'm just lucky. I haven't met a truly strong opponent yet. I had the honor of witnessing the Crown Prince's archery skills before. It was truly amazing. He never missed a shot! Seeing such superb skills, I naturally yearned for it and wanted to learn it..." Su Lun scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's archery skills are indeed outstanding. After all, he has inherited the true teachings from General Xiao." Qingfeng said with emotion.
When Qingfeng mentioned General Xiao, Su Lun's thoughts drifted back to that day. At that time, Xiao Anning had smiled and said that she would teach him archery. This scene lingered in his mind. Su Lun smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking: Miss Xiao Er is of a prominent status, and I am just a poor boy from the countryside. How can I be qualified?
Then, they walked into a blacksmith shop together. Su Lun asked Qing Feng to help him choose a bow and arrow and a target, and also carefully selected a dagger that was handy. After they were satisfied with these items, they walked out of the shop. Since it was still early, Su Lun decided to leave the things he had just bought here and come back to pick them up later.
Then, Su Lun asked Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, do you know where there is a bookstore nearby? I want to buy some military books and writing brushes, inkstones, paper and inkstones."
"There is a bookstore not far ahead, which sells various stationery items, including pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but I'm not sure whether they sell military books. However, if Captain Su is interested in military books, he can go to the East Palace, the General's Mansion or the Ministry of War to borrow them after taking office. These places have a large collection of military books for your reference and study." Qingfeng answered in detail.
Su Lun nodded slightly and stepped into the bookstore. He looked around, his eyes swept over the dazzling array of books on the bookshelf. After searching for a while, he finally found a book called "Military Code". Su Lun bought it without hesitation, thinking that he would read it carefully when he had free time. After all, he was now a military general. If he knew nothing about military knowledge, wouldn't it be a joke?
Although Su Lun was eager to stroll around the capital, this was obviously not the right time. After buying what he wanted, he did not stay outside for too long, but hurried back to his mansion.
Not long after, as soon as the two of them stepped into the mansion, Steward Su led Yin Cheng and Su Zhe to Su Lun. Yin Cheng had worked as an accountant for many years, so his character and ability were beyond doubt; as for Su Zhe, he looked only about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he exuded a sense of agility. Su Lun was very satisfied with the two of them. In this way, the problem of staff shortage in the mansion could finally be solved, and he didn't have to worry about it.
After Su Lun told Su Hao about his idea of converting it into a martial arts training ground, Su Hao did not seem particularly surprised. He nodded thoughtfully, expressing his understanding, "Song Garden is still empty and no one lives there, and there is a large open space. It should be very convenient if it is converted into a martial arts training ground. However, do you need to prepare some weapons and equipment, sir?"
Su Hao asked respectfully, his eyes revealing his respect for Su Lun.
Su Lun thought for a moment, then replied: "I don't really know much about this. Later, I will try to draw a blueprint and see if I can find a professional to make it..."
"Okay, then I will go and take care of other things first. If you need any help, please feel free to let me know." Su Hao responded softly.
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Su." Su Lun thanked with a smile.
However, when Su Hao heard Su Lun addressing him, he was stunned for a moment. Su Lun noticed his reaction and explained, "Uncle Su, from now on, we are a family. Addressing you this way feels more intimate, what do you think?"
Su Hao's lips trembled slightly, but in the end he just bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust and attention." After that, he retreated silently.
Su Lun picked up his pen and, like Ma Liang, drew some relatively easy-to-make exercise equipment that he had seen in TV dramas in his previous life, such as plum blossom piles, climbing nets, parallel bars, etc. The production methods of these equipment were actually as difficult to understand as the Book of Heaven. Fortunately, he had a good memory to draw the patterns simply. He didn't know if the craftsmen in this world could make them...
