Chapter Ninety-One: Defeat Before Fighting

Autumn dusk, the sunset is shining, and the western sky is like blood.

In the courtyard of the house on Chang'an City Road, Bai Liangqi didn't know where to pick a bunch of yellow flowers, and ran into the courtyard where Tang Xiaoqi lived. Zheng Hui held a book in his hand and paced up and down the corridor.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, Pei Wuniang held a medicine bottle in one hand and a snow-white silk scarf in the other, carefully wiping Li Sheng's swollen face.

"You are really, obviously won the bow and arrow competition against Chen Lizhen, but you can't stand the excitement, and you have to try what kind of fists and feet. If you are a rough man in the army, you will do two or three times and three times of cat kung fu, and you will be beaten like this, and you will suffer a big loss. ”

Li Sheng smiled innocently, pulled the injury on his face, and grinned in pain.

"Although we lost our fists and feet, our competition was above board, and if we lost, I was also very happy. Brother Chen Lizhen acted above board, and I was very close to each other, hoping to meet him another day and drink a few big glasses together. ”

Pei Wuniang was angry and slapped Li Sheng lightly on the head: "The few people who follow the senior brother to learn the skills, you are the most stupid." Look at the Apsara machine. At a young age, he knew how to please his teacher. That Zheng Hui is a reading seed, and he is deeply loved and valued by the girl who cherishes flowers. Look at you, you haven't even learned the slightest bit of demeanor from your senior brother. ”

"I've learned the art of war, really. I, Li Sheng, am no longer like before, a reckless man who can only rush and fight. Being looked down upon by Pei Wuniang, Li Sheng's face turned red and he tried his best to defend himself.

"Look at the senior brother, it's clear that the nine-star arrows have not been fully learned, but people have changed their tricks, and they seem to be even more powerful than the nine-star arrows. Obviously, he couldn't control the chariot and horse, so he didn't dare to participate in the royal competition, but the reason he could say made people listen, but he admired him a lot. Do you think you have learned a little bit about his skills? ”

Pei Wuniang said that she was angry, and nodded hatefully on Li Sheng's forehead with her fingers.

"Alas!" Li Sheng sighed: "The men in our army have always liked to go straight, where can there be so many fancy intestines." I, Li Sheng, have always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but you senior brother, I am afraid to the core. ”

"Humph! What is there to be afraid of him. If you marry me, you will be his brother-in-law, will he dare to bully you! ”

Pei Wuniang snorted coldly, not taking the road in her eyes at all.

"Ahem," there was a dry cough behind the two of them.

Pei Wuniang turned around and glared at Lu Lu with an unhappy face: "It's road, you walk lighter than a cat, and your sneaky virtue, shouldn't you change it." ”

"Yes?" The road is very innocent: "The landing is silent, it seems that my qi practice has grown a lot." ”

"You have a lot of thoughts in your heart, and you want to eavesdrop on what others say about you all day long. This is your home, not anywhere else, and you're so annoying. ”

Pei Wuniang held her mouth and said unceremoniously.

"Okay, you Pei Wuniang, it's not big or small, it's lawless, right. You said that you are a yellow flower girl, you are with him all day long, what you married you, became a brother-in-law or something, and you have to show the face of your daughter's family. ”

After passing by, his face was a little unbearable, and he set up a big shelf for the elders.

"Cut!" Pei Wuniang tilted her head and squinted at the road with disdain: "You and Xiaoqi Senior Sister-in-law are pregnant, so you hurriedly made up the wedding, what qualifications do you have to accuse me." ”

"Oops! You are not the opposite, you dare to be sarcastic about even the matter of your senior brother. Lu Lu snorted and glared at Pei Wuniang, but the other party ignored him completely, so he turned his head and stared at Li Sheng who didn't dare to speak.

"When will my junior sister Ming Media marry the door, the manly husband will be happy and give an accurate sentence. Let's talk about it first, although my junior sister is rude and willful, she is also a descendant of General Pei Min, so she won't be a concubine for you. ”

"I wrote to my family to inform me about it. I was the escort who followed General Geshuhan into Beijing, and I had to report this matter to him. Li Sheng's voice was shy, and he didn't dare to come out.

"It's time to write a letter, it's time to report it, anyway, you have to give me a decision on this matter as soon as possible." Facing Li Sheng, who was three years older than him, he walked by the shelf of this elder and put it in a decent manner.

"I've only been living in your house for a long time, and I want to marry my annoying junior sister." Pei Wuniang stared at the road angrily, and said in a sour tone.

"Just this stupid guy, are you going to marry or not!" Lu straightened his chest and looked directly at Pei Wuniang.

"Marry, I have a favorite husband I won, why don't I marry." Pei Wuniang crossed her hands on her waist and looked back at the road without showing weakness.

"That's it, I didn't expect this stupid-looking junior sister to see through her tricks every time and make her image completely gone. Now, I finally got this annoying guy out of the way. ”

After passing away, he muttered to himself with his hands behind his back, and left satisfied.

Ming Jing, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and shooting, the road and the prince of Qinhou Mansion Ruochen each won the first four items. The son-in-law of the nine daughters of the God of Wealth must be selected from these two young talents who are both civil and military.

I heard that the God of Wealth Wang Yuanbao personally set three competitions, and the content of the competition was not known to the rest of the people until that day.

In the atrium study of the Wang Family Garden, Lu Jiu had a gloomy and pretty face, glaring angrily at An Ran sitting in front of the bookcase, a fat old man with a white face and a rich state.

"Fat old man, you're going too far. You obviously know that most of the people who came to participate in the recruitment this time are the sons and daughters of the powerful people of the Xun Sect. The rules you set are too unfair, isn't this clearly for Qin Ruochen to win? ”

Wang Yuanbao, who was dressed in a blue robe and had a beautiful jade on his head, put down the account book in his hand at will, and looked at his angry daughter with a smile.

"Liuli, you have been in business since you were a child, and you should have understood how important it is to be popular and connected. This competition is about popularity and relationships. Fair? When has there ever been fairness in this world? This Ruochen son of the Qin family, who was well-known in the capital in his early years, and was himself the son-in-law who was about to inherit the title of the Marquis of Qin, and he had a lot of advantages when he came to participate in the recruitment of relatives.

Look at what the guy you picked is doing? In the Ming Jing examination, he could have tied for first place with Qin Ruochen, but he wanted to insult Yasheng Mencius on the exam paper again. The poems stole the poems of his teacher, Mr. Taibai, and won the first. Kill your sixth brother-in-law, who is famous in Shilin, who has sinned to death.

The piano skills, calligraphy and painting skills are abnormal, and the game can obviously win steadily, but it is young and vigorous, and the prince of the dust competes for the wind, and the dangerous and dangerous ones can win.

Riding and archery kung fu is extraordinary, but you look at his proud and complacent appearance, which makes the whole audience disgusted, and they don't even cheer. After winning the four firsts, the royal competition did not participate at all.

I think this young man, although he has a lot of ability, he can have a lot of problems. Undefeated twice, to dispel his arrogance, how did he know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. ”;

Wang Yuanbao, who is old and refined, was speechless when he said something.

"Can't you just tell me beforehand? I don't care, I don't marry anyone but him. If something goes wrong, then I will become a female Taoist priest and see what you do. ”

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Lu Jiu grabbed his father's clothes and sprinkled himself.

"I'll tell you beforehand, you didn't tell that kid to go secretly. Liuli, in this world, not everything can make you prepare in advance. The head that should be touched must be touched, and the loss that should be eaten should still be eaten. ”

Wang Yuanbao was shaken by his baby daughter, still smiling, but he didn't change his mind.

Two days ago, the shooting range of the riding and archery competition was surrounded by people.

The onlookers looked at the three red lines drawn in the field and a long rope with red silk tied in the middle with a bewildered expression. Is this a test of strength for those two contenders?

After passing by, Jun Ruochen was called to both ends of the long rope by the descendants of the Wang family, and they glanced at each other in a daze, not knowing what to do next.

"All of you who came to participate in the Wang family's son-in-law selection, and now there are two competitors left in the Wang family's son-in-law. One is the descendant of Qin Qiong, the founding father of the Wing Kingdom, and Qin Ruochen and Qin Gongzi of the Qin Marquis Mansion. One is the grandson of the old lady doctor on the road of the Tai Hospital, and the road of the health hall is the son of the road.

Now, stand beside whoever you support in your hearts to victory, and help him pull the long rope, and whoever pulls the red silk over will win. ”

Zhang Xun looked serious, glanced around on the viewing platform, and loudly announced the rules.

Seeing the black pressure on Jun Ruochen's side, he was a lonely one behind him. A gust of autumn wind blew, and the two of them passed by, almost cold to the bones.

Zhang Xun on the viewing platform glanced at the road sarcastically, and smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Lizhen looked at the comparison of the number of people on both sides and gasped. I struggled a little in my heart, but finally stood up and walked to the side of the road.

"I'll help you! Even if there are thousands of troops and horses, what am I afraid of Chen Lizhen. ”

Chen Lizhen shouted proudly, gave way and was greatly moved. looked at the crowd standing there, not helping each other, hoping to come out with some more people to help him.

The gray-haired Lao Luren did not give way to disappointment, and walked over gracefully.

"Mr. Shixian Taibai is the idol of my generation. Now that his disciples need help, I, Lao Luren, naturally do not give in. ”

After waiting for a while, no one came out. I walked by and looked at the four people on my side, except for an old man and a woman, Chen Lizhen and his two young men. Looking at the black group on the other side, he let out a long sigh, which is more than anything.

As the saying goes, there is more help for the righteous and less for the unjust, but now the situation is not like that at all. Wang Yuanbao, that old guy, set up this competition, completely using the other party's family background to bully himself.

Gu Xihua, who was very aggrieved, took out a white silk scarf, smiled and raised the white silk scarf, and raised it in the direction of the viewing platform, expressing her admitting defeat. Anyway, I tried my best, and I didn't want to marry Lu Jiu, that insidious God of Wealth, let it be as much as you like.
