Chapter 32: The Gathering of Storms
When the bright moon climbed into the middle of the sky, the city of Guiyang was already dark and silent, but the Yangfu mansion was brightly lit, and countless servants were in and out, busy, because their master had arrived from Banzhou and had just moved into the mansion.
In the back house, Yang Yinglong, who had finished bathing, was wearing a light robe, lazily poured into the official hat chair, took a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, took a small sip, closed his eyes and tasted the taste, and asked slowly: "The person I asked you to inquire about, has you already heard his whereabouts?" ”
The steward of the Yang Mansion replied respectfully: "After the old slave got the master's summons, he immediately sent someone to Tongren, but he didn't want that person to come to Guiyang. The old slave checked all the inns in Guiyang and found no news of him, presumably he rented a private house, which is not easy to find. However, since he came to Guiyang to participate in the tribute test, he will definitely go to the government to sign up when the time comes, and the old slave will find him. ”
"Hmmm! Just find him, don't alarm him, this person is of great use to me! ”
Yang Yinglong knocked lightly on the handrail, and said leisurely: "Here in Shuixi, what is the special news recently?" ”
The steward of the Yang Mansion thought for a while and said tentatively: "The Evil Lady seems to be very interested in this tribute test. ”
Yang Yinglong smiled faintly and said, "What is the person who cares about the tribute test, is there not just a Tian family, is there anything else?" ”
The steward of the Yang Mansion thought for a while, and suddenly chuckled: "There is another thing, it has been very lively in Guiyang recently, but you may not be interested in this kind of thing, master." ”
Yang Yinglong didn't respond, just took a sip of fresh soup and listened quietly.
The steward of the Yang Mansion said: "The eldest lady of the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake has always been respected by Shui Xihao, but who knows that somehow recently, there are two suitors at once. One is Young Master Ge Long of the Liangyue Valley Guoji family, and the other is still unknown who it is, and the two have agreed to fight a duel in Huaxi to decide who is qualified to pursue Miss Xia. ”
Yang Yinglong was really not interested when he heard this, and said lightly: "I don't know the so-called children's games." Is someone from the Yang family in Jingzhou? ”
The steward of the Yang Mansion smiled and said, "Master, you ordered to come down." Does the Jingzhou Yang family dare to admit it? Mrs. Yang came in person, but the road was far away, and now she was still on the way, and the Yang family in Jingzhou had already sent someone to deliver the letter, saying that Mrs. Yang would definitely arrive in Guiyang during the tribute test. ”
Yang Yinglong let out a "hmm", yawned lightly, and the steward hurriedly said: "The master is tired all the way, let's rest first, do you want someone to sleep?" ”
Yang Yinglong stood up and gently stretched his waist. Said: "Excuse me, I am lacking." ”
"Yes!"
The steward agreed, hurriedly took a step, and bowed down to send Yang Yinglong into the back hall.
At this time, although the Tian Mansion was silent, the residence of the evil Ji Tian Miaowen was still holding the lamp.
On the bookcase, there are a few pieces of paper haphazardly, and some names and numbers are written messily on them.
Tian Miaowen put down her pen, and her charming eyebrows rose slightly. He muttered in a low voice: "In this year's tribute examination, one hundred and thirty-five people will be admitted to each of the South and North Zhili, ninety-five people will be admitted to Jiangxi, and ninety people will be admitted to Zhejiang and Fujian. There are 85 people in Huguang and Guangdong, 80 in Henan, 75 in Shandong, and 70 in Sichuan. There are 65 people in Shaanxi and Shanxi, 55 people in Guangxi, and 45 people in Yunnan. It's still the least in Guizhou, the same as last year, with only 30 places. ”
Tian Miaowen leaned lightly on the back of the chair, closed her eyes and gently patted her forehead, and muttered to herself: "Thirty places, according to the convention, the An family will take four, the Song family will take three, my Tian family and the Yang family will each have two, and the other Tusi families will take turns to share fourteen, and the remaining five places will be given to ordinary people."
None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, and wanting to fight for one more is tantamount to grabbing food, it seems that only by putting Xu Boyi in the ordinary Xiucai can it be possible to fight for one more place, but I don't know if he has such strength......"
Tian Miaowen thought hard for a long time, picked up the pen again, pulled over the papers full of names and numbers, and calculated again that the light in her boudoir was on until very late......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the slope of Qingqing Mountain, Ye Xiaotian flicked his fingers, and a small insect fell silently on Xia Yingying's sleeve, and before it could climb into the sleeve, Ye Xiaotian was "surprised" and said: "Oh, there is a worm!" As he spoke, Ye Xiaotian stretched out his hand, dusted the insect to the ground, and kicked it hard.
"Hah! What a genius I'm in! It's only been a day's work, and you'll be able to master the technique of releasing Gu. ”
Ye Xiaotian thought complacently. Seeing that her sweetheart was so considerate, Xia Yingying smiled sweetly at him, her big eyes rippling with a charming spring. Light, unspeakable temptation.
Xiao Lu and Xiao Wei stood more than ten zhang away behind the two of them with their arms crossed, helplessly watching them tired of being together. However, they estimated that the good days of these two people were coming to an end, and Guoji Gelong had already spread the news of the Huaxi Meeting to the entire Guiyang Mansion.
As the news spreads, Hongfeng Lake, which is not far from Guiyang City, will definitely receive the news, and wait for Xia Yingying's more than 20 uncles, **ten cousins and cousins, and even more than 100 eldest nephews to rush to Huaxi in a vigorous manner......
The two girls could already foresee Ye Xiaotian's miserable end.
Ye Xiaotian looked at Xia Yingying's sweet smile with fascination, and said, "Are you still laughing, I will have a duel with that gorilla in eight days, so you don't worry about me being killed by him?" ”
Xia Yingying said sweetly: "How can it be, with me watching, he wants to kill you, and I am not willing to do it." ”
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes and said, "Actually...... We're already in love, what's the matter with him. You don't like him, so you might as well sue him for not having to compare. ”
Xia Yingying shook her head with a smile and said, "You have already promised him, how embarrassing it is to cancel the duel now." I heard Xiaolu say that now the people in the entire Guiyang Mansion know about it, and if we propose to cancel the duel, you will be made fun of. ”
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said, "I don't mind being made fun of." ”
Xia Yingying's eyes widened and said, "But I don't mind!" You're being made fun of, I'm so shameless, I'm going to be angry. ”
Ye Xiaotian sighed helplessly, and said whimsically: "In other words, no matter what, you have to compare." ”
Xia Yingying gently tugged at his sleeve and said in a sweet voice, "What are you doing, are you angry?" ”
Ye Xiaotian took advantage of the situation and pretended to be angry. said with a straight face: "After all, don't you just like to watch two men fight for you?" ”
"Not really."
Xia Yingying smiled even sweeter, her voice became sweeter, she gently held Ye Xiaotian's sleeve, and said softly: "People just like to see you fight for me." Yes! You see, you look there......"
Xia Yingying jumped happily and stretched out her hand to point to the front of the slope. Ye Xiaotian was used to her startling, and when he looked at her fingers, he saw three cows in front of the slope, two males and one female. Two bulls with huge horns were "topping the door" and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Xia Yingying said: "Look, those two bulls have to fight for the heifer bounty, you are a man, is it better than a bull?" ”
If Ye Xiaotian hadn't seen the big guys of the two bulls, he might not have been able to identify the gender of the three cows, but thinking that they were local village girls, it was not unusual to know bulls and cows, so Ye Xiaotian was relieved. He didn't know that Xia Yingying's standard for identifying bulls and cows was to look at their body shape. And the two bulls were both adults, more than twice as strong as the newly grown heifer, and she was coincidentally blinded by her.
The duel between the two bulls ended in the defeat of one side. The defeated bull fled. He ran for about a mile before he came to a stop on the hillside. The triumphant bull mooed triumphantly and rushed towards the heifer who was grazing, his two front hooves struggling to raise. Suddenly, the man stood up and put his two front hooves on the heifer's back.
This adult bull is very strong, and this one is also very powerful. The heifer was pressed down by him, and fell to his knees on the grass, and the bull slipped and fell aside, and the heifer mooed and struggled, as if trying to run away, but the bull leaped violently, and raised its two front hooves, and put it on its back again.
This time, the prepared heifer stood firm, and the adult bull stood firmly on his hind legs, and raised his head and "mooed" again, and the big one, which was as long and straight as a rolling pin, but a little thicker than the door bar, stabbed forward with all his might.
Xia Yingying's two eyes were round and wide, her two little hands were clenched in front of her chest, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe: "Look, look at it!" That big guy doesn't want to fight for heifers, it's bullying whoever he catches, it's really bad, oops, look, it pokes that heifer with a big **, how painful it is! ”
Xia Yingying frowned delicately, her little face wrinkled, and she panicked for the heifer. Ye Xiaotian's eyes widened, looking at the two cattle that were mating, and then at Xia Yingying, who had unblinking eyes and a face full of righteous indignation, her cheeks twitched sharply a few times.
Xiaowei and Xiaolu ran over quickly, pulled Xia Yingying up with a red face and left: "Yingying, come quickly, I have a lot of mushrooms in the woods over there." ”
"I'm not leaving, that big bull is so hateful, I want to see uneven roads......"
"Forget it, you don't care about the affairs between people and livestock......"
"Hahahaha......"
Ye Xiaotian couldn't hold back any longer, hugged his stomach and laughed wildly, he felt that the little daughter-in-law he was looking for was quite cute, it seemed that he would not be lonely in the next twenty years.
At this time, in the summer mansion of Red Maple Lake, there was also a burst of bold and rough laughter.
Old Man Xia crossed his hands on his hips and smiled majestically: "How is it, how is it?" I said, with the pretty appearance of my precious granddaughter, how can no man like it, unless the man is blind. Before, you took her too closely, you see, I just let her go out alone twice, and someone will duel for her, if she goes out two more times, no one will have to light a beacon for her, hahaha......"
Xia Lao Liu, that is, the hero who successfully gave birth to a baby daughter for the old Xia family and ended the Xia family's masculine history, Xia Yan complained: "Dad, in the past, it was obvious that as soon as Yingying went out, you didn't worry, you had to let ten or eight people follow, why did we watch it too tightly at this time?" Also, the princes of the Beacon Theatre, that's not a good analogy. ”
"!"
Old Man Xia widened his eyes and gave his son a kick very neatly: "You have read!" Don't show off with Lao Tzu! I'm going to Guiyang, I'm going to see, besides Gelong, who else has such a vision and likes our family Yingying. ”
When Xia Laoliu heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, don't go, you are so old......
"!"
Old Man Xia flew up again and kicked his son's ass: "My mother can still weave nets and fish, what's wrong with me going out, I have to go, you all go with me, if it's a qiē shun lì, this time I can get back a grandson-in-law, hahahaha......"
