153 [Warm August]
Happy days always fly by, and in the blink of an eye, the fiery July is over, ushering in August with a cool autumn.
Lin Zhiqi and Rong Ziqi finally returned to the fun. In fact, if Lin Zhiqi is allowed to continue playing, she doesn't mind at all. However, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and at the same time, it is also the day of the township test.
Different from the Wenxiang Examination, which is directly imprisoned in the examination room for a few days, although the Wuxiang Examination also has a written examination for the Literary Examination, there is a much more lively martial arts examination.
The martial arts examination was conducted at the end of July, and when Lin Zhiqi and the others returned to the city, the list of those who entered the martial arts examination had already come out, and Han Shi was naturally among them, and he was still in the top ten.
The literary examination is naturally closed, but the martial arts examination can only be open, because the items to be tested need enough space, and at the same time, the martial arts examination can also allow people other than the examiner and the candidate to observe. Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people, but with the status of the government and the background of the military, it is natural that they can get the qualification to enter the house to watch.
On the morning of the first day of August, Lin Zhiqi and Rong Ziqi took their respective carriages to the Jia family's house to find Jia Junyi and Han Shi.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Han Shi persuading Jia Junyi not to go.
Before Jia Junyi could say anything, Lin Zhiqi had already opened the curtain from the car and said: "Anyway, he has already read all the books he should be reading, and now it is completely pointless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, it is better to go and see your exams and relax!" ”
As she spoke, Lin Zhiqi looked Han Shi up and down, and said with a smile: "Brother Han won't be afraid of not doing well in the exam and losing talents!" ”
Han Seok's attitude changed instantly. "Little girl, so that you can see the skills of the eldest brother, go!"
Thereupon. Jia Junyi got into the carriage of Rongzi Period, and Han Shi robbed a horse of a guard of the Guogong Mansion to ride.
The place where the martial arts examination is called the Wuju Hall, located in the north of Xingzhou City, is on the edge of the north gate, here is also the barracks of the Xingzhou City Guards, in addition to the annual evaluation of the military attache is also the venue for the examination of military attachés, it is also used as a resting place for the military attache on duty on weekdays. and the post house of the military attaché.
When he arrived at the door, Han Shi was separated from the others, he was a candidate. It's going to report and verify identity.
The three of them easily entered the gate with the name card of the Guogong Mansion.
After the shadow wall, it is a large martial arts training ground, and after a while, there are also projects held here, at this time. A few military attachés were chilling on the sidelines.
All three are idlers. Naturally, I waited in the shade of the trees on the side.
Jia Junyi also told the two, mainly Lin Zhiqi, about what will be tested in the martial arts examination of martial arts.
Just after the beginning, Lin Zhiqi saw an acquaintance.
"I don't have the idea of seeing Sister Qi and Shizi here." Su Hua was still dressed neatly, and walked over slowly, followed by two guards, Lin Zhiqi remembered that they were two of them she had met on the road before.
"Sister Su, why are you here?" Lin Zhiqi said hello, "We're here to see a friend's exam." What about you? ”
"I'm also here to take the exam." Su Hua said with a smile. "However, the purpose is different from yours."
"Different?"
"Yes." Su Hua did not explain. Rong Ziqi said first, "You guys are here to rob people again, my eldest brother is not here, so it's cheaper for you." ”
"I heard that General Rong is now in the capital, so he must not come back, right?" Suhua Road.
Rong Ziqi snorted unconvinced, just like a child and an adult, Su Hua naturally accepted it when he saw it.
Lin Zhiqi asked Jia Junyi directly, "What are they talking about robbing people!" ”
Jia Junyi explained with a smile: "If you are selected for martial arts, you can already be an official, even if you don't have a middle rank, if you perform well in the martial arts examination, you have a chance to be accepted into the army by the military, but the position is naturally not comparable to that of martial artists." Compared with the imperial examination, there are fewer people participating in the martial arts, so each battalion will sometimes fight for a talent. ”
"Big fight!" Lin Zhiqi stared at Su Hua with wide eyes, "Do you want to fight?" The question is so, but in my heart, I only think that Jia Junyi is an exaggerated description.
Who knows, Su Hua actually smiled, "That's true, so, in addition to having a good vision when you come here to pick people, you can't be weak in your efforts, if you can't grab good seedlings and lose, military law is also indispensable." ”
Lin Zhiqi pulled the corners of her mouth, sure enough, the military ruffian is a family!
After introducing Jia Junyi and Su Hua to each other, there were already many military attachés around the martial arts training ground, and it seemed that the purpose was the same as Su Hua.
And Rong Ziqi has always been stinking towards Su Hua in this process, until he saw Wei Xing.
"Brother Wei, we're here." As soon as Rong Ziqi saw Wei Xing coming over, he pointed to Su Hua and complained.
I don't know if it's the effect of this situation, or if Wei Xing, as Rong Ziyao's subordinate, competes with Su Hua and them all year round.
Lin Zhiqi clearly felt the electric light when the two of them looked at each other.
It doesn't spark love, does it? Lin Zhiqi thought about it with the excitement, but the next moment, she felt that these two people in front of her looked like rivals in love, and their eyes were so red when they met?
No matter what the truth is, the martial arts examination has officially begun.
The martial arts test is mainly to test the martial arts of riding and archery. Horseback archery is the basic skill, and the two together are tested for horse archery, foot shooting, flat shooting, and horse scarecrow, in addition to weightlifting.
The exam is conducted in groups of five at the same time, and there is both competition and mutual assistance in the process.
Lin Zhiqi didn't know what the standard was for these tests, but she just watched the excitement and cheered with the people who came to see the excitement.
Of course, when Han Shi appeared, this color was the loudest and hardest-working.
Although, in terms of excitement, Han Shi is not the most outstanding, but Su Hua and Wei Xing both gave quite high evaluations.
Although the number of participants in the martial arts examination was small, the examination still lasted from early morning to evening.
When Han Shi came out, Su Hua came over to greet Lin Zhiqi and the others.
"Will you come back tomorrow?" Su Hua asked.
"Tomorrow? Isn't it over today? Lin Zhiqi asked rhetorically.
Su Hua smiled, "From tomorrow onwards, it will be a review exam for those who failed in the written test before." ”
Lin Zhiqi suddenly realized, "Pick someone for you, right?" ”
Su Hua nodded.
Lin Zhiqi glanced at Rong Ziqi and Wei Xing, and asked Su Hua in a low voice, "Who did you pick today?" ”
Su Hua raised his eyebrows, "I can't tell you." She glanced at the two of them and continued, "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to learn how to ride a horse?" Now the weather is cool, and I am not afraid of sweating. I can leave the matter to them tomorrow, and let's go horseback riding!" (To be continued......)
