Wang Xiao didn't go back to Wang Xifeng's courtyard, he didn't want to stay in the messy Rongguo Mansion at all.

Let the chief entourage take back his horse from the stable, Wang Xiao took Qingwen on the horse and went to the Lin Mansion.

He unbuttoned his shirt to cover Qingwen's body to shield her from the wind and rain.

Qingwen woke up halfway through and realized that she was actually sticking to Wang Xiao's fiery chest, and immediately fainted again.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in bed.

Qingwen's first reaction was that she was given something by Wang Xiao. After all, Jia Lian's reputation was too bad before.

But when she saw the maid she didn't know around her, she was a little relieved.

"Where is this?" I don't know the furniture, the furnishings, the maids. Qingwen was dizzy, and her voice was hoarse.

"This is the Lin Mansion." The maid came over with a medicine bowl and helped Qingwen against the head of the bed, "The doctor said that he would drink medicine when he woke up." ”

"Lin Mansion? Which Limfu? "Qingwen entered Jiafu when she was ten years old, and since then, the world of Jiafu has been her world. Her first reaction was to leave Jiafu by herself?

The maid grinned and served the decoction, "The Jingying Festival makes the Lin Mansion of Lord Lin's family." ”

Qingwen suddenly turned out to be Miss Lin's home.

I had the heart to ask myself again what had happened during the time I was asleep. But after drinking the decoction, sleepiness hit and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, it was already dawn outside. Warm sunlight pours in through the cracks in the windows, creating a sense of vitality.

There was a slender figure sitting there quietly reading a book next to the table not far away. Hearing the movement, he got up and walked over, "Awake?" ”

"Miss Lin?" Qingwen looked at Lin Daiyu in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"This is my room, of course I'm here." Lin Daiyu received a notice from her family early in the morning, saying that Wang Xiao took a girl to Lin Mansion to stay. She lied that Lin Ruhai was unwell and rushed back from Jiafu.

Qingwen struggled to get up, this is Lin Daiyu's boudoir, how can she sleep here as a maid.

Lin Daiyu pressed her back, "Okay, don't toss." Zijuan went to boil the medicine. I'll just drink the medicine and eat something later. ”

Qingwen pursed the corners of her mouth and looked at Lin Daiyu, wanting to speak again.

Sister Lin is a clever person, and she knows what she wants to ask at a glance. Smiling, he sat down on the edge of the bed and told Qingwen everything that happened last night.

After listening to Lin Daiyu's story, Qingwen's expression was dazed.

When the rain is pouring down and the wind is biting. Wang Xiao descended from the sky to behead Lai Da, cut Lai Mama's ears, resisted Jia's mother, put the sword back into the sheath and left with an umbrella in a chic manner.

This is like the turbulent plot in the novel, no matter how you look at it, it should be the protagonist with a big treasure face, why is the protagonist Wang Xiao?

"If you don't believe it, you can ask her when Zijuan comes."

Qingwen shook her head again and again, "The slave believes it, it's just..."

Lin Daiyu answered: "It's just that the person who came out to save you, why isn't it Jia Baoyu?" ”

Qingwen looked up in surprise, Lin Daiyu said more than that.

"He cherishes himself the most, and he likes girls only because they are beautiful. If he really let himself be contaminated with some cause and effect, he will definitely not help him. ”

After coming out of the obstacle, the intelligent Sister Lin watched from the sidelines and observed carefully, and soon saw through the nature of Dabao's face.

It's okay to be together, don't come to me when you're suffering.

recalled that when he was beaten, he begged Baoyu with his eyes, but he was dodging and didn't dare to look at him.

Qingwen's heart was also cold.

There was silence in the boudoir until Zijuan walked in with the medicine bowl and pushed open the door.

Lin Daiyu got up with a smile, "Take the medicine first, and then eat after taking the medicine." When you are rested, I will tell you the story of me and my second brother in Yangzhou City. ”

Wang Xiao was also eating, but he was eating with Lin Ruhai.

Jia's family, he doesn't plan to go back for the time being. The bullshit is endless, and he really doesn't have time to fight with those women and wives.

Lin Ruhai was at home today, and when he was eating with Wang Xiao, he inadvertently tested him with many questions.

There are those in the military, those in civil and political affairs, and even the scriptures.

These things are nothing to Wang Xiao. While eating, he responded casually, and Lin Ruhai, who listened, nodded again and again.

He already knew about the Jia family last night, and even the secret spy who was ambushed in the Jia family passed the news to the emperor.

For this kind of thing, Lin Ruhai didn't care except that he despised the Jia family's yin and yang decline.

That is, the Jia family lacks a truly powerful male protagonist. Look at which family's back house in the military marquis gate in the capital dares to blow up the stab? Which family has not been dragged to a mass grave outside the city to bury their bodies?

The Jia family is really decaying.

"The martial arts will start soon." Lin Ruhai put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, "Your Majesty wants to revitalize the armed forces, so you attach great importance to this martial arts." The champion of the martial arts and the first person were awarded the post of the capital of the four products. You are from a shadow official, if you can win the martial champion, maybe you can go straight to the guerrilla from the third grade. The champion of the imperial examination was only revised from the Hanlin Academy of the Six Grades. ”

Wang Xiao was full of food and drink, put down his chopsticks, took the towel from the maid on the side, wiped his mouth, "For many years, they have been noble and lowly, and the military attache grade is not as valuable as a civil official." His Majesty wants to show the world this time that he attaches great importance to military equipment, which is why he will give it so high. But then again, there will be brave men under the reward. This martial arts move must be fiercely competitive, and Your Majesty is not worried about someone playing favoritism? ”

Lin Ruhai laughed, "This is not a fuss, it is a real fight, how can you cheat for personal gain?" ”

"The art of war, the theory of battle formation and strategy always have to be tested." Wang Xiao drank dry tea in one gulp, "If anyone plays tricks on this, it is not impossible to brush down strong competitors." Besides, you can also discuss fake boxing in private. I feel that cheating in the martial arts examination is easier than the imperial examination. ”

Lin Ruhai fell into deep thought: "What you said is indeed reasonable. But you don't have to worry about the art of war, battle formation, or anything, as long as it's not too bad, you can always get by. When it's time to ride and practice martial arts, you won't be bought. ”

Wang Xiao fiddled with the teacup in his hand, "I really hope that the heroes of the world will be attracted by His Majesty's heavy reward to participate in this martial arts." When you are invincible, you are so lonely. ”

His strength at this time is as high as 31 points, and his constitution is as high as 34 points. are three or four times the level of ordinary people.

Coupled with the perseverance of perennial training and the battlefield, it is not easy to find an opponent in a low-martial arts world like the Dream of Red Mansions.

Just as Wang Xiao thought, the emperor offered a heavy reward for this martial arts. The champion is a military attache of the fourth grade, and in this era when everyone wants to be an official, even a military position is extremely attractive.

This time, unlike in the past, which was mostly monopolized by the noble family, as long as the family is innocent, someone recommends you can participate in the local preliminary examination.

Those who successfully pass the preliminary examination can come to the imperial capital to participate in the final martial arts examination.

And like Wang Xiao, who was born as a shadow official, the meritorious child does not need to be so troublesome, and can directly participate in the final exam.

The Great Zhou Dynasty inherited the Ming system, and the martial arts were first examined. If you can't make a decision, you won't have a chance to participate in the archery or something in the back.

For many macho brothers who have a body of force, but don't even know a few big characters, this is too fatal.

The examination room for martial arts was set up in the camp of the 12th battalion of the Beijing camp. There were many tables on the empty school grounds, and Sima personally supervised the examination room.

There are two questions in the trial strategy, both of which were given by the emperor.

One source is Sun Wu's Art of War, and the other is from Li Weigong.

The emperor still has some level of armament, or he has good staff around him.

The two questions are well proposed, including the formation layout, the art of war drills, the main points of marching, the necessities of camping, and even a little bit of mathematical problems related to counting money, food and materials.

For Wang Xiao, these things are naturally not difficult.

But for others, it's not a little bit more difficult.

In the examination room where Wang Xiao was alone, there were three unlucky people who were caught cheating on the spot.

One was to write a cheat sheet and hide it in the lining of the clothes, and it was searched out before entering the examination room.

The second is to write the handwriting in small letters on the thigh, and was caught sneaking to the toilet.

The last one is even more absolute, stuffing the cheat sheet into a small bamboo tube and forcing it into the place of the reincarnation of grains, and he was also caught in the toilet.

Anyway, Wang Xiao didn't go to the toilet at all.

It's not as troublesome as the imperial examination, and the strategy of the martial arts examination is completed in one day.

The next step is to wait for the results, and only those who have made the decision are eligible to participate in the subsequent competitions.

"Second brother, when did you practice this archery?" Sister Lin, who was holding her small horn bow, looked enviously at Wang Xiao's arrow target, and the twelve arrows lined up in a neat cross.

Wang Xiaoluo bowed in his hand, "Some people are born geniuses, and they can learn everything as soon as they learn." That's the kind of person I am. ”

Sister Lin pouted dissatisfiedly.

If you read a book, some people will never forget it, and it can really be called a learning experience. But archery is such a thing, except for the accumulation of time and practice, there is nothing that can be learned as soon as you learn it.

Wang Xiao put down the bow and arrow, turned the wrench in his hand and walked over, "The girl's progress is very fast, at least the arrow can be targeted." ”

Lin Daiyu looked at the crumbling arrows on the arrow target that was only ten steps away, and compared it to Wang Xiao's, she was really speechless.

"These days, I can eat a bowl of rice for every meal, but my strength is still too small."

Sister Lin often saw Wang Xiao shoot through the arrow target, and the arrow she shot often fell even if it was only ten steps. It's very resentful of how small his strength is.

"Your bowl is so small, a bowl of rice is nothing. If you're too thin, you have to eat more, and it's good to eat fat. ”

Wang Xiao walked over and stretched out his arms to wrap around Sister Lin from behind, holding Sister Lin's little hand by hand, raised the bow, put on the eagle feather arrow, and slowly pulled the bowstring.

"Be coordinated, don't be in a hurry." Wang Xiao's voice in his ears was hot, making Sister Lin's face as rosy as boiled shrimp.

Where else is there any archery in her mind, and the whole person is a little dizzy.

At the gate of the courtyard not far away, Qingwen, who was holding tea, stood there, looking at the scene in front of her at a loss.

Zijuan, who came over, sighed beside her, "Don't say anything, the master doesn't care about this." Just get used to it. ”

Qingwen looked at the two people leaning together in front of her in confusion.

Do Baoyu and Sister Feng know about this?
