Chapter 260: Blind Date and Martial Arts
Shen Mingjun's family of five came back to save their relatives, after all, they couldn't stay for too long, even if there was a little contradiction, when the couple left with their son and daughter-in-law, there was nothing to do.
But now the problem involves the issue of the shares of Yang's Pharmacy, and after the quarrel between Yang Ling and his wife, the two sides are tantamount to completely tearing their faces, and it is impossible to solve it through negotiation.
Shen Xi guessed that the next step might be to make trouble with the official government, and the Yang family would fight not to deal in the medicine, and they would also take back their ancestral property.
In the next few days, Shen Xi was very relaxed.
Returning to the familiar place of Ninghua, there is also a little Yang Wenzhao like a fart by his side, no matter how this cheap cousin is bullied, he is smiling, or in Yang Wenzhao's mind, it is a happy thing to be bullied by his little cousin and little cousin-in-law, Shen Xi ignores him in the school on weekdays, and now he finally has the opportunity to play with Shen Xi.
Since Yang Wenzhao doesn't mind being bullied, Lin Dai is "welcome", Lin Dai knew that her family was bullied by Yang Wenzhao's father, she decided to be angry for the family, and simply painted Yang Wenzhao with ink to make a big face, so that Yang Wenzhao had a black face in and out, and called it "pretending to be a boss".
There are some third-generation members of the Shen family who are about the same age in the yard, and it is easy to play together.
And Shen Xi can't patronize and play, and when he returns to Ninghua, in addition to reading books every day, he has another important thing waiting for him to do, that is, a blind date.
In the first year, Shen Xi won the first case in the Tingzhou Mansion Examination, which really caused a sensation in Ninghua, and the matchmaker world began to act more than half a year ago, and there were not a few people who came to the Shen family to talk about marriage for Shen Xi.
And the people recommended by the matchmaker are all daughters of well-known families in Ninghua, ranging in age from seven or eight to thirteen or fourteen years old, with a very rich family background, and can come up with a lot of dowry, and they are only engaged, and they want to determine the marriage first, and then get married when Shen Xi grows up in the future.
The Shen family has the lesson of the postponement of the marriage between Shen Yongzhuo and Miss Lu Jia, and the Li family is very cautious in Shen Xi's marriage.
Li's previous reason, the child is young and ignorant, and now he has just passed the government examination and has not yet made a reputation, and he will discuss it when the child comes back in the future...... But those matchmakers can't afford to wait, if Shen Xi really wins the show in the future and becomes a lifter, or is admitted to the Jinshi, will he still look down on the women in this small place of Ninghua?
Now taking advantage of Shen Xi's return to save his relatives, even Shen Xi's parents have also come back, and it is the most idle time for families during the Spring Festival, and the matchmaker has once again broken through the threshold.
is different from adults who are matchmakers, older ones, to the age of fifteen or sixteen, each family hides their daughters well, even if it is a matchmaker, they just find someone to make a portrait, and then let the matchmaker take it to talk about marriage. But Shen Xi is engaged here after all, and some of the children are only seven or eight years old, so they are asked by the family to marry Shen Xi in the future, and they don't have to hide it privately, and even if the Shen family wants to see it, they can use a small sedan chair to meet them at any time.
The matchmaker's words are also very embarrassing, a little older is better, and the female junior holds gold bricks and knows how to hurt people; There are benefits of being young at a young age, the little girl is tender, well-behaved and lovely, she will not bother Xianggong to study and go to school, and Xianggong can hold it. Big feet are good for big feet, big feet walk steadily, and they can help the family do more work in the future; Small feet are good with small feet, and the husband likes to play, and he will not come out to hook up with three or four, and ******** give birth to children for his husband in the boudoir.
Besides, the seventh son of the Shen family will be a big official in the future, and even the lady may be the lady of the command, how can he come out to do the work?
The female baby is beautiful and beautiful, and the husband looks comfortable, and there will be beautiful women in the family without concubines in the future; It's good for a female baby to be a little ugly, marry a wife and a lady, the lady's posture is worse, it will not make the husband indulge in pleasure and delay his studies, the female college has changed eighteen, and she can grow beautiful in the future, and the princess will have the ability to take a few beautiful concubines in the future......
Whatever words come to the matchmaker's mouth, they are all good words.
Li's reception of the matchmaker was also enthusiastic, and he looked at a few portraits, and even talked to Zhou.
Zhou has a pimple in her heart because of Yang Shen's criticism, and she is very perfunctory to Li, she always talks about "Hanwaer already has a daughter-in-law", whenever she says this, she will be complained by the old lady: "A child daughter-in-law is just a child, and there is no good background, if Qilang likes it, let her be a concubine in the future." ”
Lin Dai never expected that her "eldest woman" would be demoted to a "concubine" by the old lady in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Nizi felt very aggrieved, especially at an age when she was already sensible. But even the Zhou family didn't dare to stand up to the old lady, let alone a little girl like her who had no status in the Shen family.
Lin Dai can also be regarded as having a sense of crisis, and in the past few days since she came back, she would follow Shen Xi wherever she went.
In the past, even if Lin Dai slept with Shen Xi, she would turn her back, but this time in the Shen family, she would look at Shen Xi before falling asleep, and she would not close her eyes until her eyelids could not hold it, and she would naturally lean into Shen Xi's arms when she fell asleep at night.
Lin Dai is a very insecure little girl, she should be innocent, with her parents and brother to cherish, she can live a carefree life, and even have a more brilliant childhood than Lu Xi'er, but unfortunately because of the drastic changes in the family, she understands the hard work of the world, and she has some scheming that children should not have.
But Shen Xi can feel Lin Dai's sincere dependence on him, in Lin Dai's heart, Shen Xi is not only her childhood playmate, but also her best teacher, best friend, and her future father-in-law, the closest relative.
……
……
In the past few days, Shen Xi has also met his old friend Wang Lingzhi.
I haven't seen him for a year, and when Shen Xi sees Wang Lingzhi again, he already needs to look up and see.
This kid grew too fast, not only strong, but also very strong, wielding a horsewhip to make a tiger, and carrying a very heavy iron rod on his shoulder, as a sword practice.
"Senior brother, look at me...... Awesome, right? ”
When Wang Lingzhi saw Shen Xi, the first thing he did was to report to Shen Xi the results of his martial arts training in the past year.
What a martial arts wizard!
After playing a set, Wang Lingzhi's expression was indifferent.
Shen Xi had a bitter face, applauded and said, "You are okay on weekdays, so you patronize martial arts?" ”
Wang Lingzhi shook his head and said, "Of course, why else?" Last year, my father kept forcing me to study, and later I told him that my senior brother encouraged me to take the martial arts exam and become a martial arts champion. My dad smiled and didn't care if I read or not. Hey, senior brother, you are really capable, I will take a word from you and let my father leave me alone. ”
Shen Xixin said that this is really a strange thinking. Or Wang Lingzhi's father, Wang Changnie, just thinks that since his son is not the material for cultivating literature, he simply practices martial arts, and martial arts is a way out after all.
"Senior brother, you let me learn to ride a horse, hey, it's very simple, I learned it in less than half a month, I'm now practicing how to swing a saber on a horse, can you teach me a little more?"
Shen Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, I haven't learned to ride a horse yet." ”
Wang Lingzhi was surprised: "Huh? Senior brother can't ride a horse? How is that possible, senior brother, you are so powerful, you should be able to shoot arrows on horseback, swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc., didn't the master and his old man urge the senior brother to practice more? ”
Shen Xi didn't expect Wang Lingzhi to be poisoned so deeply.
Regarding the master and martial arts, it was just made up by Shen Xi when he was a child, in order to let Wang Lingzhi obediently be his little brother, and by the way, he "stole" things such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for him. How many years have passed, and Wang Lingzhi is convinced that there is a master he has not met.
Shen Xi said: "Senior brother, look...... If you want to take the martial arts test, you have to understand what the martial arts are all about. Brute force alone is not enough, archery is one thing, but importantly, you also have to learn strategy. Otherwise, you won't even be qualified to take the archery test. ”
Wang Lingzhi frowned and said, "Senior brother's words are so profound, what is a strategy." ”
"It's strategy and tactics, do you know the thirty-six strategies?" Shen Xi asked.
Wang Lingzhi shook his head honestly.
"What about Liutao?"
Wang Lingzhi continued to shake his head.
Shen Xi sighed: "The martial arts test is to be a general on the battlefield in the future and serve the country." If the war is just about having more people and who has more strength, then just go up and break their wrists one by one, what else do you want the generals to do? ”
"The role of the general is to dispatch before the battle, and the command in the army of 10,000 horses is determined. Therefore, when you are a general, you must be proficient in strategy and understand the various formations on the battlefield. In fact...... It's just for you to study hard. ”
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the martial arts examination has always existed, until the eighth year of Tianshun, Yingzong formally formulated the martial arts law, saying: Where the world takes tribute, and the people who know how to know martial arts, the military department will work with the chief military officer of the Beijing battalion to test their strategies in the marshal's mansion, and try their bows and horses in the teaching field. The rest of the Banner Army House was awarded the test place to pacify, and the people were awarded the experience of guarding, and the monthly branch of rice was three stones. Those who can answer two ways, ride more than two arrows, and step more than one arrow, the official will be added to the post by one level from his own position, and the rest of the flag army will be awarded a crown belt, and the general flag people will be awarded the governor of the trial guard, and the monthly branch will be two stones.
In the sixth year of Chenghua of Ming Xianzong, he would try martial arts, and took 6 martial artists such as Liu Liang and Lu Guang, and Liu Liang was the first martial champion. In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, according to the suggestion of the eunuch Wang Zhi, the liberal arts were taken as an example to set up Wuke Township and the examination.
Hongzhi six years, Dingwu Ke six years to try, first strategy, then bow horse, those who fail to try the bow horse. Later, it was changed to a triennial trial. The content of the exam is mainly horse walking, bowing and archery, and strategy test.
Wang Lingzhi threw the iron rod to the ground and said, "Senior brother, you're too tricky, aren't you?" I used to tell me that it was okay to take the martial arts test, why do you still want to study now? This...... Isn't that embarrassing me? ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't be too annoyed, the strategies tested in the martial arts test are different from those learned by ordinary scholars, and I will ...... the military books I know in the next two days Martial arts cheats are written to you, these are all handed down by the master, after learning, it is no longer one as ten, but one as ten thousand. ”
Wang Lingzhi's eyes were about to pop out: "So powerful? ”
Shen Xi said proudly: "Of course, there is a saying that a thousand troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find." A good general is a god-like existence on the battlefield, everyone will bow and worship, even the emperor who is high above, he must be polite when he sees such a general, do you say it is powerful? ”
Wang Lingzhi smirked, as if he was already in the bright future that Shen Xi had planned for him.
"Amazing, senior brother, then you quickly teach the master to you...... Cheats, teach me. ”
Shen Xixin said, this kid doesn't seem to think about anything other than martial arts, if I talk about military books, he definitely has no intention of learning, but if I say that it is a martial arts cheat, this kid learns faster than anyone else.
Shen Xi nodded and said, "Okay, go get a pen and paper, I'll write you a few articles now, the first one is called "The Art of War" ......"
