Chapter 15: Preparing for the Exam

readx; Autumn is crisp, and the harvest season is just around the corner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoYang Chen is also looking forward to the harvest scene, and he is now looking forward to the day when he can be at the top of the list and achieve the ultimate in this industry. He buried his dream in his heart and worked hard silently, and in the past few days, he has been studying the content of the make-up exam without sleep or food. Although I walked through the back door, at least I had to be worthy of the face of the old man's pole, didn't I?

In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, wrote a letter asking for advice, suggesting that the martial arts should be changed to a three-year trial, and also proposed changes to the specifications of the martial arts, and the reform of the martial arts system was more in line with the development needs of this dynasty. To be honest, the scientific examination is equivalent to an audition, and those who are proficient in martial arts and good at strategy are selected to participate in the examination, and Yang Chen is just seeking a direct ticket for direct promotion, and he has to work hard. This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

The practice of arching the horse really made Yang Chen brainless, there was no bow, but the horse was an old horse panting and shaking three times, that is, the old horse used in the carriage that Yang Chen sat in a few days ago. When Wang Dahai brought the horse from the township to Yang Chen, Yang Chen instantly felt that his hopes were dashed, the horse was as thin as a donkey, and he looked panting after walking a few steps. The horse was scarred, mottled in color, and it looked like a mule that had lost its hair, and it looked disgusting when he saw it, Yang Chen felt that if he rode on it, he would definitely fall on a big horse before he could open his bow and draw arrows.

Yang Chen thought that every time Li Luoxiu came on a tall horse, but Li Luoxiu may have been overly sad and hadn't come to work for a long time, so naturally she couldn't count on her transportation. Yang Chen thought about going to the Li family to borrow it, but after thinking about it, he couldn't rely too much on the Li family, otherwise he would be labeled as a little white face and eat soft rice, although his face was indeed a little white. So Yang Chen still compromised, he resisted the surge in his chest and abdomen and reached out to touch the ugly body of the old horse, but was quickly frightened back by its unfriendly neighing.

"Uncle, the horse is there, although it is so unsatisfactory, but it is better than nothing. But where do the bows and arrows come from? Yang Chen skimmed his eyes and couldn't help but look at the ugly but narcissistic old horse.

After a while, holding a simple dusty but stringless bow in his hand, he walked out of the door with a simple and dusty but stringless bow in his hand, showing off in his hand, and coquettishly did a classic condor shooting action in the legend of the Condor Heroes. Yang Chen's hopeful heart was extremely decadent, and his body collapsed in an instant. I don't want to eat or not, I have to go to the exam, do you let yourself ride this broken horse like a donkey and then take this broken bow without strings to take the test, and then I will definitely be victorious, because the examiners are frightened by their handsome appearance.

Yang Chen silently stretched out his middle finger at the old man who was posing, and slowly approached and gave this unobtrusive old rammer a kick, he was a little angry and was about to go out, and when he walked behind the "donkey" who was pouting his ass to find something to eat, he also gave it a kick angrily, but the way of thinking of the beast is different from that of people, it responded to Yang Chen with great interest, and picked up his hind legs and gave Yang Chen a kick, like a victorious high-five between partners, Directly threw Yang Chen out very simply, far away, and threw himself heavily on the ground, splashing clouds of dust.

Wang Dahai hurriedly threw down the broken bow in his hand to check, but when he came to Yang Chen's side, he was stunned, only to see that Yang Chen's face was covered with tears, and he looked like he was dying.

"Uncle, I think I can't escape this catastrophe, you have to take care of my mother, and by the way, tell Xiu'er that I will marry her in the next life. I also paid the party dues for me and told the motherland and the people the news of my sacrifice. After speaking, Yang Chen contrivedly tilted his head and closed his eyes, and leaned back in the dust.

Wang Dahai looked at Yang Chen puzzled, he didn't have time to pull him up but digested Yang Chen's words, he read it over and over again like a repeater, and from a distance it seemed like he was overdoing it for Yang Chen. Yang Chen saw that he ignored his grievances and got up to beat the dust on his body, and his eyes were full of contempt for Wang Dahai.

"Ne Yan, you're playing tricks on me, I know the conditions are a little unsatisfactory but it's going to be fine, and I can't find it for you." Wang Dahai had a look of loss on his face, and Yang Chen was a little moved by the deep sense of self-blame.

"Uncle doesn't have to blame himself, I still know the depths, come and let's practice." Yang Chen made up his mind and changed to a look of impatience with great interest, which made the old uncle also happy, and hurriedly took the bow to find the bowstring, but his figure was still a little lonely, and there was a slight face-wiping action that made people not check during the journey.

Yang Chen couldn't say anything, he could understand his uncle's mood. He glanced at the old horse, and then shook his body, and approached it with a splashy look, and he carefully grabbed the old horse's tail, and then quickly dodged away, but the old horse was not slow, and lifted his hind legs, but he didn't succeed, and he neighed angrily.

"Call you Yin me, you will be the mount of this young master in the future, although the level is still a little low, but when I reach the level of the great god, you will definitely be indispensable, and I will definitely give you good protective equipment." Yang Chen proudly waved his ponytail and spoke to the old horse in a low voice. The old horse seemed to understand what he meant, and reluctantly continued to pout his ass and find grass to eat.

"Look!" The old man entered the house for only a moment and then ran out again, still holding the bow in his hand, but with the bowstring already twisted. Yang Chen hurriedly greeted the uncle's masterpiece but still had a little unwillingness in his heart, but the uncle gently stroked and bowed like a baby, as if he remembered some past, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

Looking at the uncle's appearance, Yang Chen didn't want to arouse his sadness anymore, and asked tentatively: "Uncle, let's start practicing, let's get ready early." ”

Wang Dahai breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn't raise his eyes to see that Yang Chen still looked at the bow and arrow regretfully and said, "Okay, then I'll show you the kung fu on the horse." After speaking, Wang Dahai walked to the old horse with a bow and arrow, reached out and touched the horse's mane, patted the horse's back, turned around and looked at Yang Chen, and then turned over on the horse, he took the reins in his hand, but the old horse leaned into the air, and his neck was bald and screaming.

Wang Dahai was in high spirits, but his expression seemed to be leisurely, and he slowly slipped away in the courtyard with the horse's belly. "Nicely, look at it." Wang Dahai shouted at Yang Chen while slamming the horse's belly, and the old horse neighed and ran in the courtyard. Although the courtyard of the Yang family is large, it is small as a racecourse, but Wang Dahai is on the horse, holding a bow in one hand and holding the reins in the other, holding the galloping horse back and forth in the courtyard, as if it is thrilling, but it can avoid all kinds of obstacles in the courtyard. Suddenly, Wang Dahai threw the horse rope, opened the bow and pulled the arrow, and aimed sideways to open the bowstring, although there was a bow and no arrows, but the momentum was majestic, and the aura burst in an instant. Yang Chen's eyes were straight, he didn't understand how the unscrupulous uncle who was silent and honest on weekdays was a little unscrupulous, but he seemed to be a different person, could this be the precipitation of his long-term military temperament when he was in the army.

Wang Dahai ran in the courtyard for a long time, and the neighing of the horse and Wang Dahai's shouting were intertwined, which stimulated Yang Chen's blood to surge, and his brain was confused. Mother Yang also heard the sound in the courtyard and went out to watch, looked at the high-spirited Wang Dahai with a calm smile on her face, and then looked at Yang Chen, who was salivating intently, and shook her arm to sweep away the scattered dust and went back to the house.

Wang Dahai got out of breath and came to Yang Chen with the old horse that was also out of breath. Yang Chen had already become a statue, and his dull eyes were still staring ahead, until Wang Dahai shook in front of his eyes a few times before he woke him up. As soon as Yang Chen came back to his senses, he jumped up and hugged Wang Dahai excitedly, and shouted that the uncle was mighty, the uncle was mighty.

Without Wang Dahai to express his shame, Yang Chen snatched the reins of the horse with one hand, and pulled the big bow from Wang Dahai's hand with the other hand to go to the courtyard in a hurry, he did not wait for the stunned Wang Dahai to come back to his senses and clumsily climbed on the horse's back, but the old horse did not say a trace of affection, and suddenly got up and threw Yang Chen, who was about to be coquettish, on the spot. Yang Chen spat out the dust in his mouth and was not discouraged and wanted to climb on the horse's back, but the old horse dodged smartly and dodged, directly dodging Yang Chen's. Yang Chen got up very simply, angrily slammed the bow on the ground, grabbed the horse's back, and still wanted to climb up. The old horse may have been tossed and a little speechless, but this time he cooperated very well to let Yang Chen succeed.

"Hey, uncle brought me the bow, I can't reach it." Yang Chen was gray-headed, but his face was excited, showing his white teeth, and he shouted Wang Dahai with a black line from afar.

"Neyan, be careful, I'll calm down and teach you, don't fall down." Wang Dahai hurried to the horse and picked up the bow on the ground, but did not give it to Yang Chen.

"It's okay, give it to me quickly, I'm going to show off."

Wang Dahai was still stubborn, but Yang Chen was a little worried and handed the bow to Yang Chen, after Yang Chen took the bow, he clamped the horse's belly and learned the appearance of the old uncle to start his coquettish appearance, the horse seemed to be annoyed by the toss and simply ran up, Yang Chen, who was sitting on the horse, shouted and screamed, not at all Wang Dahai's majestic appearance just now, and it was like a monkey riding a horse in a circus.

"Uncle, watch me shoot the eagle with a bow." Yang Chen shouted and let go of the reins, but suddenly he was sad, just when he reached an obstacle, and Yang Chen abruptly spread the reins, the old horse was quite humane and stopped running at once, and the result was as coquettish as Yang Chen thought, but Yang Chen flew out coquettishly, and still maintained the posture of drawing a bow and shooting arrows during the flight.

Yang Chen, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, looked at the uncle who came in a hurry with some complaint, and also looked at the old horse with a harmless face and chewing white foam in his mouth, and threw the bow out again.

Wang Dahai helped Yang Chen, who had been lying on the ground and convulsed for a long time, to help him to the room, but Yang Chen struggled to get out and ran to the horse to pick up the reins again, Wang Dahai also ran behind him and lifted him in front of him and brought him directly to the room, "Ne Yan, this matter is not urgent, let's take our time, you have a good rest." “

"Uncle, I don't have that much time, and if I don't practice well, I may not even be qualified to take the test. You'd better let me practice for a little longer. Yang Chen was put on the couch by Wang Dahai, but he still didn't give up, but he was fixed on it by Wang Dahai.

"Okay, you can rest for a while and let's continue to practice, but you have to listen to me, don't act recklessly, otherwise something will really happen."

Yang Chen saw that the uncle was relieved but didn't struggle, he lay on the couch and gently moved his waist, and the amazing fall twisted his small waist.

After a while, Yang Chen felt that it was okay, so he got up and beckoned the uncle who returned to the room to practice arching, and the uncle couldn't stop shaking his head with a wry smile when he saw his resolute appearance. Wang Dahai told Yang Chen the essentials of horseback riding very efficiently, but he gave up his bow and arrows to let him concentrate on riding horses. Yang Chen was full of interest in learning horseback riding in his middle school, and he didn't stop until the sun set.

"Neyan, I think you should go to Li's house to borrow another horse, and borrow another bow and a pot of arrows, I think there must be one more to come to their house." Wang Dahai dusted Yang Chen's clothes and said to Yang Chen.

"Uncle, you know what kind of character I am, this way was begged by Li Luoxiu's father, how can I ask for something again, how can I talk so much."

"It's not a big deal, it's a family in a few days, so what's so embarrassing."

"I'd better think about it, not necessarily beg him." Yang Chen said to himself and went into the house.

Looking at the rice swaying in the wind on both sides of the road, listening to the chirping of unknown insects, Yang Chen rushed to Shaoxing Mansion early in the dawn night, this time there were two purposes, one was to find Li Luoxiu to relieve his lovesickness for many days, and the other and most important was to borrow something from his future father-in-law. His steps stopped and went, and it seemed that he was also thinking in his heart and making a fierce struggle.

People's self-esteem is big and small, Yang Chen is definitely the biggest one, he feels that it is a very shameful thing to ask for people, which is against his own heart. Besides, if Miss Li uses this as a threat in the future, then she will really go to the grave, although Li Luoxiu is not that kind of person.

Yang Chen finally made up his mind to go happily after repeated stop-and-go, the future father-in-law was right, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, who can guarantee that he will not ask for someone for a lifetime, he hurriedly caught up with a mule and horse cart on the road to Shaoxing Mansion, and went to Shaoxing Mansion in a swaying mood.

It was already late in front of the Li Mansion, and the most important thing was that Yang Chen was still a little hesitant, probably because the little self-esteem left in his heart was still faintly strange. He thoughtfully nibbled on the big meat bun in his hand, this time he ate very elegantly, it was rare that he didn't gobble it up. In the morning market, when Yang Chen passed by the steamed bun shop listlessly, the enthusiastic boss instructed the guy to give him three big meat buns to send away this plague god, for fear that he would make trouble in the near future and open his own shop. The boss squeezed the chrysanthemum folds on his face and smirked at him, but Yang Chen ignored him and walked straight away with the bun as if he was depressed. The boss scratched his head strangely and looked at his bun in a daze, but he took out one from the cage drawer and took a bite and didn't feel anything wrong with the taste, but he wondered why this plague god didn't gobble and munch on it today.

At this moment, Yang Chen Siwen was eating steamed buns and made up his mind to rush to the door of the Li Mansion, but was politely stopped by the soldiers in front of the door.

"Where are the nerds here to spread wild, can you break in casually here? Be careful that the master's knife doesn't have long eyes to chop you. ”

Yang Chen's image at this time is indeed not very impressive, although he didn't eat a lot, but his hands were also dripping with juice. In addition, I didn't wash my face in the morning and I was in a hurry, my face was very vicissitudes, my white clothes were full of dust and gray, and my hair was scattered and abnormal, and I looked like I had suffered a great disaster.

"I want to see your young lady, I have been here once, you don't know me?"

"Ahh A short soldier with a full face, beard, small eyes, garlic head and nose said proudly.

IKEA IKEA? Virtuous and virtuous? I may have gone to the wrong door, these descriptions are obviously inconsistent with the eldest lady of the Li family, it must be the wrong door, although this door plaque is clearly written, but Yang Chen thinks it is better to be careful.

"This eldest brother, may I ask if this is the mansion of Master Li, the commander of Shaoxing Wei? May I ask if your young lady's name is Li Luoxiu. ”

The little soldier just now looked at Yang Chen with slanted eyes and looked at him carefully, what about it? If you come to make trouble, your little body can't help but resist, and Lao Tzu will make you call your father and mother comfortably. Get out of here! ”

Yang Chen was very angry at this time, but he couldn't help the ups and downs in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "This little brother, isn't the kid the future husband of your young lady, and he is annoying." When he entered the door of his father-in-law's house, he had to pass through it, and Yang Chen felt speechless.

"Ahh

"This kid is really uncomfortable, don't talk nonsense with him, beat him up first." The other soldier, who was silent just now, couldn't help it, beckoning the little man to beat Yang Chen.

Yang Chen raised the bun in his hand and told him again and again, he didn't want to cause trouble and beat the dog, and it had to be up to the owner. The juice of the bun in Yang Chen's hand flew out and splashed the faces of the two soldiers, which immediately annoyed the two people.

"Young man, your taste is very heavy, and you have pork and leek filling, I won't beat you to death, I'm your brother-in-law." The two did not draw their knives, but moved their fists and feet, and several punches hit Yang Chen's body, but Yang Chen just told him again and again and did not fight back, and really looked like he was begging for help.

Just as Yang Chen was being beaten by a lesson, the door opened a crack in the door, and an old head stretched out from the crack in the door, "I said, what are you two doing?" Little old man, I just wanted to sleep in the concierge room, and you guys were noisy, it's really a tamp that is not cleaned up. ”

Yang Chen, who was blocking left and right, saw the old head as if he had seen a relative, and shouted in his voice, "Old housekeeper, it's me, it's me, don't you recognize it?" The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, they were really afraid that Yang Chen was their own people.

As soon as the old housekeeper heard Yang Chen shouting, he walked out of the door, wiped his faint old eyes and looked at the beaten Yang Chen carefully, "I recognize you as the one, hurry up and blast away don't disturb my sweet dreams." After speaking, the old housekeeper of the Li Mansion turned around and prepared to go to bed, and the two soldiers were about to continue when they saw this situation and grabbed Yang Chen.

Suddenly, the old housekeeper hurriedly turned around and came to them, wiped his old eyes, and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, the old housekeeper's eyes glared and clenched his fists, "It turned out to be the future uncle, the little old man was so dizzy that he didn't recognize it just now, forgive it, forgive it." After speaking, he glared at the two government soldiers and motioned for them to let Yang Chen go.

The two soldiers were stupid, they didn't know what to say, and they looked at their masterpieces vigorously, and their future uncles and uncles were even a little blue and swollen.

"Let's go, my uncle will go in with me, my lord has already told you not to report it, so it will be a family in the future." Yang Chen followed the housekeeper aggrievedly into the door but looked back at the soldiers who were stunned on the spot, and the housekeeper just smiled when he saw this situation, "Uncle, don't be like these reckless men, they are all used to watching me for a while, and I will teach them a good lesson." ”

After hearing this, Yang Chen stopped, returned to the two soldiers and put the buns in his hands one by one, "Brother-in-law, please, hehe......." After speaking, he followed the old butler into the mansion, ignoring the black lines on the faces of the two armies looking at each other.
