Chapter Ninety-Nine: Master

Looking at the carriage that the honest big man came down again, Xia Shijie frowned, he knew the carriage, it was very inconspicuous, it was all made of logs, unpainted, it was the one that Xia Hongchen was used to riding in and out.

She's causing trouble again?

Xia Shijie was a little gloating in his heart, but when he thought about it, he was not happy about his careful thoughts. What is she, she obviously knows that she is the daughter of the Xia family, and she doesn't hurry up to please him, the eldest brother, desperately begging to come back, but she disdains it, and when she is a few years older, she should understand that if there is a good family background in this world, she will become the ultimate winner, and without a good family background, there will be nothing.

Zhang Qun, who was dressed in black downstairs, glanced at Tie Niu with a vague gaze, ignored it directly, and grabbed the woman as soon as he stretched out his hand.

As soon as the little woman lifted the bamboo basket in her arm, she blocked it, and the two of them started to move between square inches.

Obviously, the little woman will also have a little kung fu, not an ordinary powerless servant woman, but she can't be compared with Zhang Qun at all, she was simply pressed and beaten, and after a while, she was out of breath, and saw Zhang Qun slap out a palm and hit the little woman's chest hard.

There were a few people with good eyes in the onlookers, but they didn't consciously turn their heads and close their eyes, not wanting to see that tragic scene.

For a long time, no sound came out.

When everyone looked up, the honest big man didn't know when, but he actually stood up, carrying the little woman in one hand, just like carrying a little chicken, and there were words in his mouth: "Handle it gently, handle it gently." "Lying on the ground, he pushed backwards," my sister dodged. The young lady said that it is not the man who allows a woman to be hurt. ”

Men watching: "......"

Standing with his waist crossed and watching the excitement, the brocade-clothed man frowned and said softly, "Where did you get two hundred and five?" Brother Zhang, hurry up and get this in the way away, I finally have time to come out to play, but I don't have time to delay here, I have to gamble later. ”

This one obviously didn't take the big guy seriously.

Neither did Zhang Qun.

There were no people around.

Qiao Lingjun couldn't help the anger in his chest, and shouted loudly: "A dignified martial arts disciple, bullying a countryman who has just come to the capital. It really has a face. ”

The little woman who was guarded behind her. also brushed his hair and said in a low voice: "Little brother, you better go, they don't dare to do anything." I've been used to it for a long time. It's not a big deal. If you don't pay attention to it, these people won't be interesting to play for a while, and they won't do anything to me. ”

They say half a day. Tie Niu looked ignorant, as if he didn't understand anything, and said one sentence over and over again: "Our young lady said that you can't bully people, and they are not allowed to bully people!" ”

Zhang Qun was also impatient and sneered: "It's okay, although it's boring to step on dead ants, it won't dirty your feet." ”

Seeing what that meant, he felt that it was easy for him to blow up a countryman, not to bully his juniors, but to beat away a fly, so as not to damage the prestige of his master, he spread his hands very casually: "I'll deal with you first." ”

As soon as he spread his hands, Tie Niu blinked: "Can you do it?" ”

Zhang Qun raised his eyebrows disdainfully and sneered: "Whatever you want!" ”

The onlookers couldn't help but bow their heads.

The kitten was nervous: "Miss, Miss, do you want to go to Mr. Lin to come over, Tie Niu will not be killed." ”

Xia Shijie knocked on the teacup and sighed impatiently, let her be taught a lesson at this time, knowing that it doesn't matter if the sky is high and thick, Zhang Qun wants to stir up trouble for a while, he still has to give Xia Hongchen a head, no matter how good that woman is, she has the blood of their Xia family on her body, and she can be bullied by any person, as if she is inferior to herself and Ah Chan, it is not good.

Hongchen leaned his chin against the window and looked out, pointing forward gently, and the kitten was stunned when he turned around.

I saw Zhang Qun with a high-spirited demeanor, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand and beckoned, as if he was greeting a kitten and a puppy, and in the next second, Tie Niu flashed to his side, grabbed him casually, grabbed his arm and picked him up, swished, and threw it out!

Trembling like a shooting star!

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Qun was already like a meteor, and he could only see a black shadow.

Smack.

The brocade-clothed boy opened his mouth wide, and accidentally saliva flowed out and dripped on the ground.

Everyone was almost stupid, Xia Shijie was lying in front of the window of the restaurant and looking down, looking at Tie Niu's expression, it was like looking at a fairy!

That's a disciple of Wudang, in addition to those predecessors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the absolute leader in the younger generation, now he is so easy to let a countryman throw it away, and he didn't get up for a long time, obviously fainted, even if he is a light enemy, this big man can do this, at least he can rank in the top ten young masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, right?

Han didn't think what he did was so great at all, he turned his head and walked to the carriage, smiled and touched his head: "Miss, do you want to send this young lady home?" ”

"Then send it back, together."

Hongchen naturally responded, "You and the kitten learn to drive a car, it's good to learn a craft, and it's easy to make a living." ”

"Hey." Tie Niu responded, "Then I'll drive the car for the young lady, can I eat more pig's trotters when I catch the car?" ”

"One pig's trotter or two sheep's trotters, what is there for you to eat."

"Okay!"

Iron Bull smiled.

Xia Shijie: "......"

The onlookers around were dumbfounded-master, I don't need you to catch the car, you just need to teach me three tricks and two styles, not to mention pig's trotters, we are happy to eat one pig a day.

Do you know how valuable the master who can take Zhang Qun away in the world is?

Do you know how much such a master can do?

Do you know that with such a master by your side, can you exchange a few lives?

You don't even have a little pork!

Hongchen, who was surrounded by all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, was also quite proud, looking at the kitten with a shocked face, and glancing at Tie Niu from time to time, which was even more funny.

I walked around the street and bought a lot of things to go back, and Tie Niu could hold a car by himself, and he could hold as many things as he could.

After turning home, until it was time to eat, the kitten was very attentive, and he added rice to Tie Niu, which suddenly made Tie Niu feel that he was a good person.

"Brother Niu. Where did you learn this skill? ”

"Ability? You say I eat too much? You don't have to learn that, you can eat it from a young age. Iron Bull smiled sheepishly.

Kitten: "......"

Hongchen and the others sat in a room not far away, eating while pricking up their ears to listen to the amusement outside.

The kitten took a deep breath and made persistent efforts: "Brother, which master are you studying from, I think your master must be very powerful." ”

"Master? I don't have a master. Tie Niu gulped the rice into his mouth, and it didn't affect his speech, "I've been stupid since I was a child, and my father asked me to learn farming from him." I spoiled my crops at every turn. Either I watered too much, or my body was bulky and crushed the seedlings, and later my father sent me to strike iron. The master who struck iron disliked me for not understanding. I will only do some physical work for half a day. Later, my father was worried, so he wanted to teach me to know a few words, even if I copied letters to others, I could support myself. I can't learn anymore, and no master wants me. ”

Kitten: It's a crash.

"I mean the master who taught you martial arts!"

"Teach me martial arts, no, I didn't learn martial arts." The Iron Bull is even more confused.

Kitten: "......"

Hongchen finished eating, listened to it with great joy, and simply walked out and said with a smile: "Don't ask, kitten, he really didn't learn from a serious teacher." ”

"Impossible!"

He didn't learn martial arts, he was able to beat that person away, although he didn't know what martial arts Zhang Qun and Li Qun were, but he could see that the man in black was a master.

The kitten himself is not very good at martial arts, but he thinks that his eyesight is very good.

Hongchen chuckled: "Tie Niu's brain is a little wooden, slower than ordinary people, a tendon, he can't learn anything well, his father has been worried about him, and then Mr. Guigu traveled to them, just wanted to pick a few medicines, so he temporarily settled in their village, renting Tie Niu's father's house, Mr. Guigu saw that Tie Niu had nothing to do all day, so he hired him to help him do a little chores, the first thing was to be responsible for holding the calf that Mr. bought, at that time, Mr. explained that in addition to bathing, even the little calf that slept could not let go. ”

Saying that, she couldn't help laughing, "If it were those smart people, they would definitely not listen to such nonsense, maybe they thought that this old man deliberately corrected himself, but Tie Niu is a stubborn, promised things, desperately will do it, he really holds the cow every day, even sleeps to hold the cow, he is very hard to hold at the beginning, always panting, sweating, sometimes can't even speak, Mr. taught him a breathing method, has been breathing according to that method, naturally not tired, Tie Niu tried, really good, Gradually, the action went as usual, and as the days passed, the calf grew bigger and bigger, and became a big cow, and he still held it every day. ”

The kitten's eyes were about to pop out when he heard this.

Tie Niu looked confused, not knowing what he meant by this.

"When the cow grows up, Mr. will support him to carry the ox on his back, help himself work, go to the mountain to catch a pheasant or something, take a stone to beat a roe deer, at first he can't do it, but since he promised Mr., he will do it seriously, Mr. let him do what he wants, he will do it, not two years, the mountain flying, running, he said how to catch, how to catch, feel free to knead, usually idle, the favorite game is to throw, throw their own big cow out, and then catch, catch and throw out."

Hongchen smiled, "If it goes on like this, let alone several years, it is a year, and his kung fu has also reached a level, besides, Tie Niu is already infinitely powerful, and he is born with good qualifications, and it is not difficult to become a master." ”

These are all things that Hongchen heard from Mr. Guigu in her last life, during the time she was by Mr. 's side, Tie Niu has always taken care of her, and all the chores have been done for her, and the relationship between the two is very good, and later she returned to the capital, and Tie Niu also came to visit every year.

"I don't know anything, I just have the strength, and I will do all the rough work at home, you can rest assured, you can do it by carrying water and chopping wood, don't let me do the fine work."

Tie Niu still has a naΓ―ve face.

The kitten looked at him for a long time, turned his head and was about to go out: "I'll go look for it, see whose cow has given birth to calves, buy one back." ”

Luo Niang was directing a group of boys to clear the snow outside, and frowned when she heard this: "Our family doesn't farm, what kind of cattle do you buy?" If you really want to buy it, buy a horse and go home, you boys don't all like horses, and a while ago I complained that there were too few new horses in the stable. ”

She is thrifty, but she is indulgent to the children, and the boys will always feel that their horses are not enough to ride.

Hongchen smiled and beckoned, and asked Luo Niang to arrange a place for Tie Niu to live.

"I want to protect Miss Hongchen. I don't need a house, just give me a quilt to live outside. The Iron Bull had already cleared out a piece of the corridor outside Hongchen's bedroom and threw down the big baggage he was carrying.

Hongchen couldn't cry or laugh, and several people took turns to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him.

Luo Niang can only vacate the room next to the young lady for him to use, fortunately, there is a mother-in-law who picked it up from outside and is responsible for some chores to live in the ear room, otherwise a big man will be left here, and no one will be at ease.

"Our family is really the most unruly."

Luo Niang sighed.

Hongchen: They live an ordinary daily life lively. Soon. After the New Year's Festival, it is time to take the exam.

Jin Qing went to the exam alone, and he didn't even bring a small guy with him.

No, I brought a peace.

Ping An has grown up now. It's not like it used to be just a small one. Now his head is at knee level with Jin Qing.

I don't know what breed of dog it is. But he ate roundly, ran very quickly on his short legs, and hung a small bamboo basket around his neck. There were some notes and copper coins in it, and Hongchen told him to buy some food by himself.

Jin Qing was very moved at first, how good his sister and master was to him, and he was still worried about whether he would be hungry, but when he looked at the note, he suddenly found that it said a piece of oil cake, less salt, dog consumption, boiled meat, please add a big bone, don't add too much salt, dog consumption......

I made trouble for a long time because I was afraid of starvation.

If Hongchen knew about Jin Qing's slander, he would definitely say, "Ping An is a mascot, send you to the exam, bless you with a good score, I won't let you spend money to buy snacks for it, what is there to complain about." ”

Jin Qing entered the examination room.

Ping An dutifully squatted at the gate of the Gongyuan as a mascot.

I don't know if the mascot really played a role, Jin Qing's exam this time was very smooth, and there was even a question that made him speechless, it was really what he said when he joked with Hongchen at home.

The test is five luck and six qi and so on......

At that time, Sister Achen laughed and said, saying that the emperor has been getting older recently, and he is very concerned about his body, and I heard that he has been studying the Yellow Emperor's internal classics recently.

At that time, it was just a joke, but I didn't think that there was really a topic that was not from the Confucian classics, and it was also a very important strategy.

It is estimated that half of the students in the examination room were dumbfounded.

Finally, the long exam is over.

Jin Qing left the examination room, and everyone else had family members to pick him up, and he only had one dog waiting outside. Stretched, stood outside the gate of the Gongyuan and rested for a while, rubbing his shoulders.

"Brother Jin, Brother Jin, how are you, have you answered the five luck and six qi?"

A little fat man chased out later, he also met at the literary meeting, his ancestors were in business, and his generation was sent out to study, probably because he wanted to change the court.

Jin Qing smiled: "Answer, whether it's good depends on the examiner's vision." ”

The little fat man lowered his face bitterly: "I can't finish reading the serious book, who goes to see what five luck and six luck, this is not nonsense!" ”

A scholar next to him was full of tears: "It seems that Brother Tai knows what the five luck and six qi are, and I was stunned in the examination room." ”

At first glance, it seems that there is no one who is unlucky, everyone is anxious, and then calm.

Jin Qing is also a well-known figure, so leisurely and chic, so that everyone is jealous.

"It seems that Brother Jin is confident?"

I didn't see that I didn't even bring my family's servants, obviously I didn't take the imperial examination seriously, and it seemed that the entrance examination was as simple as picking up things.

Xia Shijie and Qiao Ling walked out side by side, and before they got into the carriage, they listened to the people next to them talking about how Jin Qing was, how was it, frowned, and sneered.

"is so public, even if you are afraid of being an official in the court, you can't get involved."

Qiao Lingjun glanced at him, Brother Xia probably didn't know, the expression on his face obviously showed that he was very jealous of Jin Qing, and this jealousy came from paying attention.

Jin Qing didn't care what Xia Shijie thought, he came home and proudly wanted to tell Hongchen about them.

As a result, no one in the family paid attention to him, they were very busy, Luo Niang and they still had to take the women's examination, and Hongchen also had a pass to pass.

If you don't mention it, Jin Qing is afraid that she will forget that all of them entered Beijing this time, except for Hongchen and Lin Xu, who have other plans, the most important thing is to choose a spirit girl, Hongchen is on the list.

Now it is called a spirit maiden sacrifice. Naturally, it is difficult to help Hongchen, don't care if she spends money to buy a name charm, or a stand-in charm, she can afford to pay a price, in this way, it is good to have the identity of a spirit girl, and she can also get a tael of silver from the court a month, which is more than ordinary petty officials and officials.

And the spirit girls are all carefully selected, which in itself represents qualifications and abilities.

Although there is no need to worry, Hongchen still made some preparations. The capital is the home of Xia Cicada. Now she doesn't know if she has already put her hand into Zichen Palace, in case this foolproof simple etiquette of sending a name charm goes wrong, wouldn't it cost Hongchen's life?

Even for a hundred years, there have been rules for the living sacrifice of spirit girls and spirit children. A nominee is a procedure that goes through. Never had an accident. Hongchen is unwilling to hand over his fate to others.

In the past few days, even Lin Xu has put aside other things and stared at the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace. It has been dotted up and down, and even on the day when Hongchen goes to send the name talisman, which spirit master will be in charge of Zichen Hall has been analyzed.

This matter is obviously more important, Jin Qing touched his nose, and honestly drooped his head and went back to the house to read.

This year, the imperial court posted the list very quickly, but on the 10th, the red post was posted.

Some people have the title of the gold list, some people have fallen to Sun Mountain, and they will fight again in the coming year, and in a short period of time, the same imperial examination will be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

This day spring flowers are just right.

It was the day of the temple exam.

It is rare for the emperor to sit in the hall for a long time, although in previous years, His Majesty also asked questions, and the scholars were all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, but Long Live Lord would never stay on the throne for a long time and wait for these scholars to answer the questions.

This year, he seemed to be very interested, tilted his head and asked the old eunuch standing beside him, bowing his head with his chest bowed: "Tell me, which of these scholars has the best talent?" ”

"The old slave is dizzy, so I can't see it, so I asked the old slave to say, since it is Your Majesty's champion, then Your Majesty will look at which one is pleasing to the eye, which one is."

The emperor immediately smiled and shook his head with a smile: "You old thing...... Those who think that if they sit in my place, they can do whatever they want are fools. ”

The one who can do whatever he wants must be a faint king, a faint king, if it is better in the prosperous era, like now, there are three countries around it, if there is really an emperor who does what he wants, then the three countries are not happy to go crazy?

The Great Zhou Dynasty didn't know who swallowed it, just like Li Bi, the lord of Southern Chu back then, how freewheeling and true temperament, everyone really said that he was chic and free, and it wasn't that he destroyed the country in a few years, so that Dayong was treated as a play, and he had nothing to do to tease.

The emperor took a deep breath, and his eyebrows flew: "However, you are right about one thing, the imperial examination is a scholar, and it is natural to take talents who are in line with my heart, and this year our Great Zhou Dynasty will produce the youngest champion in history, and it is also a good story to spread it." ”

His Majesty appointed Jin Qing as the young champion, and also said a lot of beautiful words, anyone can see that Long Live Lord is very satisfied with the champion he ordered.

On the streets of Yong'an, the crowd is surging. The Great Zhou Dynasty is once every three years, and those dozens of people are selected out of thousands of people, and it is naturally the attention of everyone to stand out from thousands of scholars.

On the balcony next to him, I don't know which flower girl and famous prostitute, she showed her singing voice, and her singing voice was lingering and compassionate.

The spring breeze is proud.

Champion Lang crosses the horse and parades the streets.

Most of the boudoir daughters in Yong'an City, today have set up a color tent on the side of the road, the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty are different from other countries, the daughter is not so strict etiquette rules, every year in the present dynasty, you can take a close look at the demeanor of the young Jinshi.

The saffron on the head of the champion Lang can also be given to the beauty, who can get the safflower, that is a very face-saving thing, that is, in the end, do not recruit the champion as a son-in-law, but also double the value, but after the end of the line, the boudoir daughter who began to communicate generally has to set up a color account.

The Xia family's color tent also stands on the side of the road, which is very elegant and simple, not as gorgeous as other people's homes.

In addition to the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, and other Jinshi can also send flowers today, but the safflower on the champion's head is the most eye-catching.

Xia Cicada sat in the color tent, picked up the purple clay pot, brewed a cup of fragrant tea, and tasted it slowly, with soothing and elegant movements, not arrogant or impatient.

A little maid gently slapped her shoulder, but she couldn't help but look out, this maid was obviously very favored, and her mouth chattered lively: "Miss, this is the first time you have come after the ceremony, and I don't know if our tent will let the red flowers of the jinshi be drowned, with your reputation in the Beijing girly, which one can match you?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, fortunately, Lord Ronghua didn't come this year, otherwise people would hear it, and it would be time to laugh at me." Xia Chan shook his head and chuckled.

But listening to this meaning, she also felt that there was no one in the capital who could compare with her except for the lord of Ronghua.

Xia Chan took a sip of tea lightly and lowered her eyebrows - others are just that, this year's red flower of the Sanding Jia, I don't know if she may be able to win it in one fell swoop?

It's a pity that my brother only got the second grade! (To be continued......)
