Sister Lin, who lost her strength after shooting a few arrows, came to the pavilion with a red face, picked up the chilled watermelon and ate it in small bites.

Wang Xiao followed and walked over, looking at Lin Daiyu, who had a sharp chin, biting the watermelon in small bites, and immediately smiled, "Sister, you look like a little mouse eating melons." ”

Zijuan and Qingwen, who were waiting on the side, couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

That's a fitting description.

Lin Daiyu's face is sharp and her mouth is small. It's too god-like.

Sister Lin was angry, put down the watermelon, stomped her feet, got up, and went to chase Wang Xiao.

The two of them chased one after the other, circling the garden. Wang Xiao also teased Lin Daiyu with words from time to time, and Zijuan couldn't help but laugh back and forth.

Qingwen was a little stunned, this kind of joy would never be in Jiafu.

Sister Lin, who was out of breath, suddenly stopped, turned around and came to the pavilion. Reaching out, she drew her short sword and chased after her.

Qingwen was stunned, how could she move the sword?!

Zijuan on the side saw her helpless appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Don't worry, they're having fun." ”

Qingwen looked at the glittering short sword, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like she was joking.

Especially when she saw Wang Xiao also come to the pavilion to draw his sword and fight with Sister Lin, she was careful that her liver was in her throat.

She learned from Lin Daiyu and Zijuan that Wang Xiao used this sword to kill Lai Da and others that night, and cut off one of Lai Mama's ears.

This is a murderous sword!

If it hurts somewhere, what should I do?

Fortunately, after watching nervously for a while, Qingwen found that the two were indeed fighting. To be precise, Wang Xiao is playing with Lin Daiyu.

It's just that these two people's swords are so beautiful.

Although she doesn't know swordsmanship, Qingwen can still see that when Wang Xiao and Lin Daiyu are playing, the swordsmanship is elegant and smart, and her posture is beautiful, which is very beautiful.

This set of Chong Ling swordsmanship was originally used by the senior brother to tease his sister, and the pursuit was not to kill but to be beautiful and cooperative.

Qingwen silently looked at the two people in front of her, and a thought suddenly surged in her heart: "These two people are quite compatible." ”

Immediately, her heart was suddenly shocked, what should Baoyu and Feng Lazi do?

After practicing a set of swordsmanship, Sister Lin's anger also disappeared, and she hummed and returned to the pavilion to return the sword to the sheath.

Looking at Lin Daiyu's chic sword return action, Qingwen's eyes widened.

Is this still the weak Miss Lin? The heroine in the novel is nothing more than that.

Feeling Qingwen's eyes, a smug look appeared on Sister Lin's little face.

She has been 'training' hard for so long in order to see the envy and shock in the eyes of others.

Wang Xiao walked over and picked up a tooth of watermelon on the table, performed a mouthful, threw away the melon skin, took a towel from Qingwen's hand, and wiped his face.

"Are you still used to living here?"

Qingwen's identity is still a slave of the Jia family, but she lives in the Lin Mansion and becomes Lin Daiyu's maid.

Wang Xiao made such a big move before, and she couldn't go back to Jiafu again. And the masters in Jiafu are also selectively blind, so they don't think there is her.

Qingwenfu, who lowered her eyelids, saluted, "Miss Menglin takes care of it, and the slave lives very well." ”

After a pause, Qingwen saluted again, "Thank you for your help." ”

If Wang Xiao hadn't been there that night, she might have died of illness due to the wind and rain. No matter what you think in your heart, this kindness must always be remembered.

Wang Xiao sat down on the stone bench, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Jia family, although the people of the Lai family have pressed their hatred on your head, but they are just stinky salted fish that can't be on the table, or I will clean them up before long." ”

The most unlucky thing about the rainy night is undoubtedly the Lai family.

Lai Da died, and Lai Mama's face was also beaten, and she lost one ear and became one.

They had no way to take revenge on the brave and invincible Wang Xiao, so they could only put their hatred on Qingwen.

Qingwen's aunt and brother Wu Gui were kicked out with a broken leg, and many daughters-in-law and girls were also occupied by Lai Shangrong. also released words that one day he would catch Qingwen and toss it hard and then sell it to the yard.

The sensual Qingwen shed tears when she heard this, knelt aside and saluted, "Slave and maid, thank you for your great kindness." ”

Wang Xiao's help and life-saving grace, and then compare the indifference and ruthlessness of Dabao's face before. Qingwen's psychology was greatly shaken.

Dabao's face knew that Qingwen was in the Lin Mansion, but he had never been here during this time. didn't even ask Lin Daiyu to help with a sentence. It's as if he's forgotten about her as a person.

"No need to do this, it's me who has caused you to be burdened." Wang Xiao helped Qingwen up, and took the opportunity to squeeze someone's little hand.

Lin Daiyu on the side looked at the scene in front of her with a smile.

Sister Lin never regarded Qingwen as a threat, because Qingwen's identity was destined to be an aunt. Her real opponent is Sister Feng, a lady like Xue Baochai.

Since Lin Ruhai agreed with her to accept Qingwen, Wang Xiao was allowed to live in the Lin Mansion temporarily. The smart Lin Daiyu vaguely knew what her father meant.

What is missing now is only the issue of Wang Xiao's identity and status.

For this, Lin Daiyu has never doubted.

In terms of Wang Xiao's ability, it is inevitable to come out in this martial arts.

The list of martial arts strategies has finally come down.

First, the examiners conducted a preliminary examination, and then handed over the answer sheets that had passed the preliminary examination to the emperor for reading. In the end, the emperor himself set the ranking of the policy.

In the eyes of the emperor, strategy is more important than the archery and horse riding and shooting behind.

What he wants to choose is a handsome talent, not a fierce general who has a brute force to charge into battle.

Among the hundreds of policy theories, there is no doubt that Wang Xiao is the most outstanding.

There is an unwritten rule in ancient officialdom, that is, a person who is an official must look great, at least he must be a middle-aged person.

To sum it simply, you have to be good-looking.

It's not that absolute, but the unwritten rule does exist.

There is no doubt about Wang Xiao's demeanor and bearing, especially his momentum is unforgettable. The examiners who have seen him will praise him, and he has the style of a general.

Wang Xiao has read all kinds of military books, and he has also participated in many large-scale wars, and even fought in his own army.

The knowledge reserve and actual combat experience are by no means comparable to those rookies who have never been on the battlefield.

The last point is that Wang Xiao's own status is very high.

The second duke of Rongning is still in the army. And he was personally recommended by Lin Ruhai, the new envoy of the Jingying Festival. The background is profound, and it is definitely unique among the many people who participate in the martial arts.

With so many factors added together, it is not surprising that Wang Xiao won the first place in the policy theory.

However, even if it is the top name in the strategy, it may not be able to win the title of Wu Zhuangyuan, because the next battle is a real test of real ability.

Many candidates who are not convinced by Wang Xiao's identity are eager to try, ready to teach this family a good lesson in the ring.

"Miss, there are too many people here, if there are disciples, we will be miserable."

There was a thunderous cheer outside the stadium of Jingying University, and thousands of people who were idle and had nothing to do gathered here to watch the martial arts competition. Lin Daiyu, who is becoming more and more lively and active, is dressed in men's clothes, with Zijuan and Qingwen mixed here, wanting to watch Wang Xiao's performance.

Holding the short sword in her hand tightly, Lin Daiyu said confidently, "It's okay, who would dare to make trouble with this son's horizontal sword in his hand." ”

Lin Daiyu is very confident in herself, and she is always eager to have a chance to show her skills.

After leaving Jia's house, her temperament became more and more lively.

In the crowd not far away, a few ruffians whispered something, pointing at Lin Daiyu and the three women, who were wearing men's clothes but could not hide their amazing beauty.

A moment later, a few ruffians squeezed over with a smile.

According to their plan, even if they can't really do something in public, it is inevitable to take advantage of some hands and feet.

Just as the ruffians were gradually approaching behind Lin Daiyu and them, several men in strong suits suddenly appeared beside them. The thick arm directly wrapped around the neck and clamped it hard, and dragged the person away in a blink of an eye.

These people are Lin Ruhai's personal soldiers.

Lin Daiyu is Lin Ruhai's only closest relative in the world, and her safety is what Lin Ruhai values the most.

Although she acquiesced to her daughter's action of leaving the house without permission, Lin Daiyu was surrounded by at least dozens of soldiers dressed in civilian clothes guarding in secret.

Lin Nuxia's plan to go to the end of the world with a sword was extinguished from the moment she changed her clothes and left the mansion.

The content of the martial arts examination is different from one dynasty to another, but it is generally inseparable from mounted archery, foot shooting, weightlifting, and ring competitions.

At this time, the school yard is conducting a weightlifting test.

In the Tang Dynasty, stone locks were used for weight lifting, but now they are changed to bow pulls.

Before Wang Xiao, more than 20 people had come to the stage to draw the bow, and the strongest one from Beizhili pulled the bow with two stones and five buckets, and everyone around was already shocked.

When Wang Xiao came to power, he chose a three-stone bow.

Depending on the weights and measures, the amount of stone varies from dynasty to dynasty. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, one stone is roughly 120 catties, and three stones are 360 catties of tensile force.

Seeing that Wang Xiao chose the three-stone bow, many people showed puzzled expressions.

"Looking at his little white face, can he shoot a three-stone bow?"

"I know him. Jia Fulian II, who is the first in strategy. Who knows if the bow he used was cheating. ”

"Maybe I knew I couldn't do it, so I chose the three-stone bow. Even if he can't pull away, others don't know how strong he is. ”

"Grandstanding."

The candidates who talked a lot didn't have a good impression of Wang Xiao, who was the first in the strategy and was still a child of the family. After all, this is their strongest competitor.

Wang Xiao's expression was calm and unaffected.

After raising the bow, he adjusted his body, and after a while, his arm directly pulled the three-stone bow out of a full moon.

'Hiss~~~'

There was a sudden sound of inhalation all around.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had firearms, but they were not very valued. Therefore, the proficiency of the bow and horse is still the standard for measuring the warriors.

After ten breaths, Wang Xiao retracted his bow and dropped it, the examiner nodded to him, Wang Xiao put down the bow and turned to leave.

Although some of the candidates in the four places suspected that the bow had been tampered with, none of the fools would take the initiative to ask for it.

There is no doubt that after the competition, Wang Xiao, who opened the three-stone bow, was the first again.

Wang Xiao smiled casually, this kind of small scene is not worth mentioning.
