Chapter 14 The Direct Recruitment of the Martial Arts Academy
Cangyue Town is also a town directly in charge of Tiejiazhuang. At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Cheng Tianci was entertaining a big man who had arrived from the capital Lanting County!
"Instructor Hong! This time I came to our Cangyue Town, I must stay for a few more days, so that my little brother and I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" said Cheng Tianci, the city lord of Cangyue Town, and personally poured tea for Instructor Hong, who looked about thirty years old, with a very friendly attitude!
This so-called Instructor Hong is actually not a member of the Tiandu Imperial Court! He is a member of the most special 'Martial Academy' in the human realm of the Kyushu Continent! His full name is Hong Canquan, and he is a deacon of the Martial Arts Academy who goes out to recruit disciples every four years. People habitually call them 'instructors', because, in order to enter the martial arts academy, they have to pass the assessment in his hands.
Hong Canquan said with a smile on his face: "Every time I come to Cangyue Town to recruit students, Brother Cheng is so enthusiastic. I'm really, so honored! I'll tell you the truth! This time, there is only one place left that I can recommend!"
Hong Canquan naturally knew that the reason why Cheng Tianci was so enthusiastic about himself was completely because of his privilege. They have also dealt with each other many times, and the two have long been familiar with each other. Therefore, Hong Canquan did not beat around the bush and directly said the number of places he could recommend.
When Cheng Tianci heard this, the expression on his face was instantly a little lost, but he quickly smiled: "Instructor Hong, however, there are two people in me. You'll have to help me! As for the money, I'm sure I'll make you happy!"
Hong Canquan looked embarrassed, it seemed that this matter made him very embarrassed, but he quickly said as if he had made up his mind: "Since Brother Cheng has said so, even if it is difficult, I will help Brother Cheng solve it, right?
When Cheng Tianci heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Just say that Instructor Hong is refreshing and willing to help! I'll thank you here first! Wait a minute, Yihongyuan, I'll please!"
The two soon made a shady deal in private.
At this time, Instructor Hong seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Cheng Tianci: "Brother Cheng, I heard that there is a great genius here in you, what is Ye Yanxue, who has the strength of a first-class martial artist at the age of fifteen. Is that really the case?"
"I didn't expect Instructor Hong to come to our Cangyue Town, and he found out the news of our only genius in Cangyue Town!
Hong Canquan said: "No, you are talented today, and you can fight the wolves of the Black Flame Mountain Range alone. This kind of heroic deed! The people on the street have already spread the word outside! How could I not know? It seems that the biggest gain from coming to your Cangyue Town this time is him!"
Cheng Tianci also had a smile on his face, when this kind of genius appeared in the place under his jurisdiction, he would naturally feel honored, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, he is not the only one in their family who is a genius, his sister, I heard that the talent is also good, and she became a third-rate martial artist at the age of thirteen." ”
When Hong Canquan heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "At the age of thirteen, becoming a third-rate martial artist, well, talent can be regarded as okay." Haha, this time, I'm afraid that I can get a reward from the school when I go back!"
On August 20, 1009, the Liu Sanjia of Tiejiazhuang came to a team of officials. As soon as the official entered the door, he shouted 'congratulations'. It turned out that the list of direct recruitment announcements of the Martial Arts Academy was released! The first person selected was Ye Yanxue, the righteous son of Liu Sanjia, and the second was Liu Xuemei, the daughter of Liu Sanjia. As soon as this list was released in Cangyue Town, the town sent a team of officials to Tiejiazhuang in person to congratulate him.
After all, the students who can enter the Martial Arts Academy, especially the students who are recruited directly, are all talented, and once they graduate from the Martial Arts Academy, they will all be characters, at least, more than a hundred times stronger than Cheng Tianci, the mayor of Cangyue Town. Therefore, this Cheng Tianci does not dare not to give face to these future bigwigs, on the contrary, Cheng Tianci must treat this kind of geniuses well and leave a good impression, maybe he will get great benefits in the future.
The news soon spread throughout Tiejiazhuang, and everyone personally brought gifts to congratulate them. In the face of the congratulations of the villagers, Liu San naturally would not refuse and entertained them one by one.
However, soon, even people from neighboring villages came to congratulate him, but Liu San had to politely decline. Later, even that Cheng Tianci, as the mayor of Cangyue Town, personally brought a heavy gift to Liu San's house to congratulate him.
For a time, Liu Sanjia can be said to have come out of the country, and 10,000 people have come to the court! Some people, Liu San can refuse, but there are also many people Liu San can't refuse.
September 1 is the time for Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei to enter school. These days, in addition to having to accompany guests, Ye Yanxue will go outside to practice alone. Obviously, Ye Canxue is also a person who is not sociable, and she doesn't like the falsehood of socializing.
It's Liu Xuemei, she was originally a clever child, and during this time, most of the time, it was her who greeted her relatives. In terms of entertainment, Liu Xuemei is self-taught, and she has done a good job in many aspects. Many people are full of praise, saying that Liu Xuemei is a smart child.
"Yulan, do you have the burden of preparing for the children to go to school? These two children, this time they go to the martial arts academy to cultivate, and they can only go home once a year during the holidays, you have to prepare enough things!" Liu San explained to his wife, who was packing up the burden for Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei in the room.
Li Yulan's impatient voice came from inside, and said: "I know, just your verbosity, I've said it almost ten times! Don't you even know who you are?"
Liu San smiled smugly when he heard this, and shouted in his mouth: "What's the matter? Why am I scared? It's not that the children are out of the picture, is it wrong for me to be happy as a father? You women, you just don't understand!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I don't understand, I don't understand. Li Yulan said, but she was also happy. Their family was an ordinary hunter, and even if they were relatives, they rarely moved. However, as soon as she heard that her son and daughter were directly recruited by the Martial Arts Academy to become students of the Martial Arts Academy, everyone enthusiastically began to rush to her house. This son and daughter fought for their husband and wife.
"I said that the child is his father, tomorrow the two children will go to the martial arts academy, and it will be a year before they can come back, when I think of this, I panic very much!" Suddenly, Li Yulan stopped what she was doing and walked to Liu San and sat down. A look of loss.
"Look at you, your expression, if you let the children see it, how can you tell them to rest assured to cultivate! This child can enter the martial arts academy, no matter how good it is, how many people's children can't look forward to it. It's good that you don't want the children to go, or what?" Liu Sanshu fell on Li Yulan, but his heart was just as uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it.
At this moment, Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei walked back at the same time, shouting: "Dad, mother, we are back!
"Quick, put away your expression, the children are back!" Liu San hurriedly said to Li Yulan, and at the same time responded in his mouth: "Xue'er, Xiaomei is back! Dinner hasn't been cooked yet, and your mother is busy preparing your luggage for tomorrow's martial arts academy." ”
Li Yulan put away her expression, stood up and said, "Child, my mother will cook for you." With that, he walked towards the kitchen.
Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei went back to their rooms, but they prepared some personal things for themselves.
After dinner, Li Yulan was busy packing the luggage for the two children. And Liu San called the two children to him. Each was given a money bag. He said, "Child, here is the pocket money of three silver coins for each of you, buy whatever you want to buy when you get to school, don't save it!" ”
Three silver coins per child is definitely the maximum limit that can be taken out by Liu Sanjia! You must know that even if it is Liu Sanjia, the money that can be saved in a year is only 5,000 copper coins. Only half a silver coin. The two children each had three silver coins, which cost Liu San and his wife twelve years of savings. Fortunately, these days, there are many people who give gifts to Liu San, especially the mayor of the town, who gave a heavy gift of three silver coins. Therefore, Liu San's family background is quite sufficient now.
Ye Yanxue was the first to say it, and said, "Dad, why do you give us so much money? We are going to the martial arts academy to cultivate, not to enjoy, just give me a few thousand copper coins!" Ye Canxue clearly knew what the concept of these three silver coins was at home. Ye Yanxue preliminarily estimated that his family's family background was only a dozen silver coins.
Liu Xuemei didn't speak, but secretly said in her heart that Ye Canxue was stupid! At the same time, she kept giving Ye Canxue a look.
Liu San said: "Dad does this, naturally there is a reason for him." The place you are going to is the capital of our Tiandu Kingdom, Lanting County. It's a big city, and the consumption is also high! Keep some money for backup, and you won't suffer a loss. After that, he just stuffed the money into Ye Yanxue's hand.
Liu San pulled Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei and talked for a long time, and Li Yulan also sat aside after being busy, and the family talked about it until late at night. Ye Canxue naturally saw her father's reluctance to herself and her sister.
Seeing that her father and mother had returned to the house, at this time, Liu Xuemei whispered to Ye Yanxue: "Brother, let's just leave the money quietly." Brother, you're right, we're going to cultivate, not to enjoy happiness, so why do you want so much money! I only need one silver coin is enough!" As she spoke, Liu Xuemei opened the money bag and took out two silver coins from it.
Ye Yanxue finally understood what Liu Xuemei meant by looking at her before, a smile appeared on her face, and she only took a silver coin. The rest of the money was quietly put in the kitchen cupboard.
The next day, early in the morning, people came to the town. They were specially here to pick up Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei to go to the Martial Arts Academy. Ye Yanxue and Liu Xuemei said goodbye to their parents, and the villagers who came to see them off, and finally set foot on the road to the Lanting County Martial Arts Academy. From this moment on, they are destined to have a different life path!
