088. Prepare for the crown
When the mother first came to make up for the crown ceremony, Nangong Jin's heart refused. Coming of age with a group of 16-year-olds? actually told him that those children were his children and nephews, but he was too embarrassed to say "no" directly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Nangong Pu came back, he took him to the study and closed the door, and told him all over the book about his father's and mother's reconciliation. In the final analysis, the reason for the separation also lies in him, and it is precisely because he decided not to leave that the relationship between his father and mother has eased a lot. Now, his father and mother are under pressure from the clan and are dedicated to doing this for him, which is just a little embarrassing for him, after all, after this age, it is a new start for his father and mother. Home and everything is prosperous, whether you agree or not, watch it yourself.
Nangong Jin wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything, but the eldest brother said it so bluntly, can he agree? The next thing is that I really experienced the big brother's routine.
First of all, the schedule on the day of the crown ceremony, densely packed with ten pages, is said to be simplified. Nangong Jin could barely accept it, and took a cursory look at it and put it aside, anyway, there was still more than a month before the salute.
After that, it's time to make a big dress. A set of big dresses, more than ten layers, measured for a whole day, Nangong Jin's face was stinky, and she almost wanted to scold, but fortunately, she held back and didn't say a word from beginning to end. The mother actually laughed and joked, a few children in the family, who didn't lose their temper when they made a big dress, were relieved.
Next, there are even more speechless. The family invited a gentleman who taught etiquette, and this gentleman made Nangong Jin begin to doubt his life, and even made him struggle for a while between the two options of pretending to be sick or running away from home. But Nangong Pu seemed to see through him and told him to rest if he was uncomfortable, but this etiquette must be learned, and those sixteen-year-old children that day will not be good if they are ugly; If you want to escape, it's not so easy now, and it will be even more troublesome to be caught. However, Nangong Jin just thought about it, and didn't do anything.
finally survived until Mr. was resting, but he was pulled to the school by Nangong Pu, saying that he wanted to teach a set of swordsmanship.
There are a lot of people in the school, in addition to Li Songran, who just returned to Pingyang to see the excitement, there are also two children who went home from the middle of the holiday, and Du Ling, as well as Tang Shubin and Li Mo. The problem is that Du Ling brought melon seeds, peanuts, candied fruit, and a pot of tea to set up a table, and several people gathered around it as if they were watching the big show.
After Nangong Pu finished the dance, Du Ling took the lead in applauding, and Xiao Chengrui did not show weakness, as if he was slapping louder than anyone. In order to show that he was very devoted, Nangong Jin also applauded vigorously. Who knew that Nangong Pu didn't pay attention to this at all, and directly handed over the long sword to him: "You come." ”
Nangong Jin was stunned, and took the sword a little stupidly.
"The swordsmanship is not complicated, don't say you don't see it clearly." Without waiting for Nangong Jin to speak, Nangong Pu gagged him first.
"Huh? But what kind of swordsmanship is this? It's just dancing. Want to learn this? It's a shame. Nangong Jin said helplessly.
"It's a sword of inquiry. It is for sacrificial purposes, and you are the chief priest in that link. Come on. Nangong Pu explained.
Nangong Jin shook her head, and there were only two words left in her heart - refusal: "Aren't there still three cousins?" Or, a replacement? This is too ....... ”
"Too what?"
"Writhing around. It doesn't matter if the eldest brother is peerless, I'll be ashamed like this. Nangong Jin frowned.
"First of all, it's only been a little over a month, and you're afraid it's hard for the three cousins and nephews to learn. Secondly, if you are wearing a dress that day, where is the shame? Nangong Pu didn't let him have a chance to shirk at all.
"What? Do you still want to wear those more than ten clothes?! "Nangong Jin's face is 'I want to regret'.
Nangong Pu whispered: "Cheng Jun and Cheng Rui are here, it's really a shame for you to be like this." ”
Nangong Jin turned his head to look at the group of people watching the excitement on the side, and cleared his throat: "Okay." I haven't moved for a long time, and some hands are raw. ”
Du Ling laughed and coaxed: "No, when you hit Luo last time, your fists were very hard!" ”
Nangong Jin ignored him, walked to the middle of the school field, and pulled two sword flowers. After thinking about it, he suddenly got up, and a long sword flowed smoothly, flickering from time to time, very chic and elegant. After a set of dances, except for Du Ling and Cheng Rui, all of them were stunned.
Seeing that no one applauded, Nangong Jin asked, "What?" Isn't it pretty? ”
Cheng Rui said loudly: "It's good-looking! He clapped vigorously.
Nangong Jin smiled and gave Cheng Rui a thumbs up: "There is vision." ”
On the side, Chengjun pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.
Nangong Pu also smiled and clapped his hands: "Very good, not bad." But can you not create your own? From beginning to end, none of the movements are the Sword of Inquiry. ”
"I can do it again, I promise it's different." Nangong Jin seemed to be having a good time.
Nangong Pu patted Nangong Jin's shoulder and said very seriously: "Ah Jin, do me a favor, the Asking Heart Sword has a total of six moves." You are like this, so I have the urge to beat you up again when I was a child. ”
"Dad, are you going to fight your uncle?" Xiao Chengrui didn't know when he walked up to them, and applauded excitedly: "Okay, good!" "It's completely afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
"If you want me to say, it's actually because some people can't learn, so they want to mess around." Cheng Jun walked to Cheng Rui's side, took Cheng Rui's little hand and said coolly.
"Huh." Nangong Jin looked at Nangong Pu: "Your son is amazing!" After speaking, he took a few steps back and calmly danced the six-trick Questioning Heart Sword.
"Not bad! Some places are not in place. But you just watched it once. Nangong Pu laughed: "I told my father that you can learn this set of swordsmanship for a maximum of two days." ”
Cheng Rui pulled Nangong Pu's sleeve and asked with some loss: "Then, aren't my father and uncle fighting?" ”
"Who said not to fight, of course to fight." Nangong Jin put down his sword with a smile and said to Nangong Pu: "Anyway, there are two days, let's talk about it tomorrow." Let's play? ”
"Okay, what do you want to compare?" Nangong Pu asked with a smile.
"Everything."
"So powerful?"
The two of them said and stood in the center of the room.
Cheng Rui clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay, okay, my father is going to beat my uncle!" ”
Nangong Jin almost vomited blood, and scolded with a smile: "Hey, can you speak!" ”
Li Songran also coaxed: "If you want to beat someone, the mace is very good, why don't you try it?" ”
"Good idea." Nangong Jin gave Li Songran a thumbs up. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly they snatched the only mace on the weapon rack.
Nangong Pu took a step faster and took the mace. Nangong Jin caught a glimpse of a cast-iron spear with a thick bowl on the shelf, and pulled it out, but he didn't pull it out. Nangong Pu made a fierce attack and persuaded: "Ah Jin, change one, this gun can't be used by ordinary people." ”
Nangong Jin ignored it and vigorously pulled out the spear, but he didn't expect the gun to be so heavy, and he didn't stand firm and stumbled.
Nangong Pu relaxed his offensive and shook his head helplessly: "It's still disobedient." ”
Nangong Jin worked hard to dance a few spears, but Nangong Pu didn't dare to take it hard: "This gun weighs four hundred and fifty pounds." It is the ancestral weapon of a certain great-grandfather, and it has been there for almost a hundred years. ”
Nangong Jin attacked a few more moves: "Almost a hundred years? How come I haven't seen it? “
"Back then, you and Songran ran around like crazy, and your father and mother were afraid of hurting you and put them away."
Li Songran smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me, it's mainly Ah Jin." ”
Xiao Chengrui raised his head and asked Li Songran: "Was my uncle very unbehaved when he was a child?" ”
Li Songran thought for a while and said embarrassedly: "This question is not easy to answer. ”
Cheng Jun nodded, and educated Cheng Rui said: "It's hard to say whether you are obedient or not, but it's true that you are disobedient." So, you have to be obedient. ”
After a while, Cheng Rui also found that the competition in the field was not intense, yawned, and said to Cheng Jun: "Brother, Dad doesn't want to beat his uncle, it's not good-looking at all." ”
"It's not, you can see it, stupid."
Cheng Rui held his cheeks, thought for a while and asked, "Brother, who do you say is more powerful, father or uncle?" ”
Cheng Jun let out a long sigh: "Daddy keeps his hands everywhere, and my uncle doesn't take advantage of it, what do you say?" ”
"Is that uncle particularly bad?" Thinking about it, he said in a pitying tone: "Uncle is so pitiful." Brother, let's not bully him, okay? ”
"Too bad, disdainful." Chengjun shook his head disdainfully.
Li Songran listened to the conversation between the little brothers and couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Alas, if you don't fight, you won't fight." Nangong Jin heard the words of the two children and stopped. looked at Cheng Jun and asked, "How many years have you been studying martial arts?" ”
"What for?" Chengjun asked.
"Let's try?" Nangong Jin beckoned to Chengjun.
Cheng Jun shook his head slowly: "You are an adult, and your strength is greater than mine." He looked at the spear in Nangong Jin's hand.
"I'll let you."
"Let? Let's hear it. Master Chengjun said.
Nangong Pu shook his head, smiled and took the spear in Nangong Jin's hand, and stepped aside.
"Give you a hand."
Cheng Jun shook his head: "I've only been studying martial arts for three years. ”
"You use weapons, and I'm empty-handed?"
Cheng Jun still shook his head: "I usually stay in the school. ”
"I have one hand, one foot, empty hands, your weapon?"
Cheng Jun thought about it, walked out and picked up the long sword, and drew a circle with a radius of two feet around Nangong Jin: "Don't go out of this circle, otherwise you will lose." ”
"Actually, you can draw smaller." Nangong Jin looked at the circle and said something counter with a smile.
Chengjun looked up at him and pretended not to understand: "Really?" I don't want to bully you, though. ”
A group of people who watched the excitement were excited, and they said, "It's difficult." Chengjun is not bad. "Admit defeat directly, that's a shame. "I think Ah Jin can make another three or five moves. ”
Chengjun always looked at Nangong Jin and said coldly: "You proposed to compare." If you admit defeat, forget it. ”
"Who said throw in the towel? Come, I'll give you three tricks. ”
Cheng Rui raised his little face and clapped his hands: "Okay, my brother and uncle have made a move!" ”
Cheng Jun raised his hands with a clear eye, and after three moves, Cheng Jun frowned: "You change your feet?" ”
"I said I gave you one foot, but I didn't say which one."
"Do you want to change hands?" Chengjun raised his head to look at him.
"You decide." Nangong Jin said generously, but she was a little embarrassed in her heart.
"Left hand. Resume. Chengjun is also welcome.
Chengjun's movements are not fast, but his moves are in place and meticulous. His purpose is very clear, he just wants to force Nangong Jin out of that circle. Nangong Jin's body is weird, and he just dodges Chengjun's attack with a very small amplitude, and every time he lands with one foot, he is in the circle.
Nangong Dingkang and his wife stood not far away to watch the battle.
"I thought Chengjun didn't like to practice martial arts, but I didn't expect him to be slack in private." Zhou Tang smiled with some relief.
"Chengjun is very strong." Nangong Dingkang nodded: "On the contrary, it makes people worry." It's okay to be a little arrogant when you're young, but you have to fight for the first place everywhere, I'm afraid that he will push himself too hard, and he won't be able to stand the blow when he encounters something. ”
"I think Chengjun is very smart, but Ah Jin only defends and doesn't attack, I'm afraid it's the idea of dragging Chengjun to the point where his physical strength is exhausted."
"Ah Jin's body is ......." Nangong Dingkang smiled: "It seems that for so many years, there has been no shortage of fights." gave his eldest brother face and saved his hand. Cheng Jun was too tied and insisted on less than ten moves. ”
In the field, Cheng Jun also found a problem, stopped and frowned and asked, "Are you bullying me for my small strength, do you want to drag me until I can't move?" This is not a good victory. ”
"If I win you with one move, will you be beaten by your father?" Nangong Jin sighed, feeling that this little ghost was not very fun.
"Why did my dad hit me?" Cheng Jun asked with a frown.
"That's good. I've had enough, one last resort. Nangong Jin smiled and motioned for Chengjun to make a move.
"One move?" Cheng Jun looked disdainful.
Cheng Jun's shot was his most proud sword move, but the move was not in place, his eyes were in front of him, his right hand was suddenly sore, and he unconsciously let go of the long sword, and when he came back to his senses, the cold air of the long sword between his eyebrows had spread all over his body.
Nangong Jin raised his sword in his left hand, smiled at him to collect his momentum, and casually stuck the sword on the ground: "A real life-and-death duel, there is no victory or martial arts, and the one who loses is already dead." Otherwise, it's just a game. After speaking, he walked out of the circle and walked towards Du Ling's table, "It's over, thank you for your rewards, ten cents per person." ”
Cheng Jun was stunned, pursed his lips and stared at the long sword, stomped his foot violently, and ran out of the school field quickly.
"Uh......." Cheng Rui had been paying attention to Cheng Jun in the field, and when he saw him running away and pulling Li Songran, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Cousin, is my brother crying?" ”
