Hu Yanjin has been gone for a long time, and Hua Qiao is still secretly laughing thinking about his words.

"Oh, girl, have you met the God of Wealth? Laughing so happily. Sister-in-law Liu smiled and brought the food box in, so that the buckwheat could see it. These small snacks were all prepared by Hua Qiaorang, and they were to be sent to the east courtyard in person.

Hua Qiao Zhengse said: "The God of Wealth doesn't know if I can meet it, Zhong Kui is afraid that he will be able to see it soon." ”

Zhong Kui? Before Sister-in-law Liu could react, Hua Qiao had already gone out with a food box.

In the study room of the east courtyard, there are not many books, it seems empty, the four treasures of the study on the table are complete, and several brushes from small to large are also inserted in the ebony pen holder. Wu Chenliang knew at a glance that it was specially prepared for him by his son.

Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who was born from the grassroots, took a special fancy to scholars, and listed archery subjects in the imperial examination to encourage literati to practice martial arts.

Wu Chenliang's big characters are very good, Hu Yanjin often saw his father practicing calligraphy when he was a child, I don't know when he started, Wu Chenliang never practiced calligraphy again. My son wants him to cultivate his mind and temperament.

He didn't move the pen and ink on the table, but took out a pair of weapons that he had hidden in the hollow wheel and brought into the city with great difficulty, a three-edged whip made of fine iron, and wiped them carefully.

This pair of three-edged whips is the real heirloom treasure of the Huyan family: Huyan whip.

I saw that it was black and bright, and every two edges were dotted with dark lines that were beaten out during tempering, and circles were like water ripples on the whip. The whip is like an unopened blade, and it is more like a stick with saber teeth. Therefore, the whip is a school of its own, like a stick but not a stick, like a sword but not a sword, and it is impossible to prevent it.

"Uncle, I'm Hua Qiao, can I come in?" The buckwheat knocked twice on the door.

"Come in."

Hua Buckwheat wears a half-new and old water-red jacket, and the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with a circle of white rabbit fur strips, which looks pink and cute. She put the food box on the coffee table next to her and smiled:

"Uncle, here are some hot snacks, bring them to you to taste. I live next door, and my senior brother is often not at home, so if you have anything to do, let Haiying and them come over and talk about it. ”

"Hmm."

"Uncle, what kind of weapon are you holding? I haven't seen it. "Buckwheat's curiosity came up again.

"Girl's family, it's okay to use a good kitchen knife, why do you need so much knowledge?"

Wu Chenliang glanced at Hua Qiao, this girl was different from what he imagined. He hoped that Hu Yanjin was looking for a gentle and humble mother-in-law who had children, not a woman who was curious and loved to get to the bottom of things.

"My father said that women also need to be knowledgeable, and children spend their early years with their mothers, who are the first source of their knowledge, if women have no knowledge, then how can they teach the next generation well?"

"Isn't your mother very knowledgeable? What did she teach you? Wu Chenliang asked disdainfully.

Hua Qiao lowered her head and said, "I'm resenting myself, I didn't learn what my mother taught me, and now that my mother is gone, I remember that my mother knows a lot of things...... It's too late to regret ......."

Wu Chenliang saw that she lowered her head and looked like she was about to cry, and she was without her mother, and her heart softened by two points. Said:

"It's called a three-edged whip."

"Three-edged whip? This is the three-edged whip used by the double whip? Hua Qiao said in surprise. Daddy told her and Hua Rong about the Water Margin, and when she met Huyanjin, Daddy told them about several representatives of the Huyan clan in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Oh? Do you know Hu Yanzhuo? That was the last generation of our family's ancestors with the surname Huyan. It seems that you really have some insight. I used to use double whips, but then my left hand was injured, and I couldn't dance the three-edged whip anymore, so I could only use a single whip. ”

Wu Chenliang didn't know why he was telling this to a little girl he had just met, he just felt that this girl was very simple, she was like a mirror, and you couldn't help but want to show your beautiful side.

He saw Hua Qiao's yearning look, smiled slightly, and handed her the handle of the three-edged whip.

Hua Qiao's hand sank when she took it, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so heavy!" ”

Wu Chenliang couldn't help laughing when he saw the trick in the buckwheat, and said proudly: "Now you know that female dolls can only hold kitchen knives, right?" ”

"That'...... Uncle, do you dare to compare with me? Hua Qiao had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she had a good idea for something she saw when she went out just now.

Wu Chenliang laughed out loud: "Than what? Do you also dance with swords? ”

"You come out with me, the topic of the competition is in the courtyard." Hua Qiao said as she looked into the corner.

Hu Yanjin asked Xiao Gao to find a lot of stones and pebbles, and put them under the trees in the yard and the corners of the house to make some decorations, which was actually convenient to pick up easily when using stones.

Sure enough, buckwheat quickly bent down and picked up two pebbles. Wu Chenliang was idle anyway, and he was curious about what problem this little girl was going to have, so he followed her to the courtyard with a three-edged whip.

Xiao Gao was watching at the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly saw the old man following the girl with a weapon, he was startled, and hurriedly ran over: Don't be the girl annoying the master, do it?

Who knew that the girl immediately smiled when she saw her: "Xiao Gao, you came just in time, I will compete with my uncle, and you will be a judge." Whoever loses will eat all the snacks in the food box in the house! ”

"It's not big, it's not small! You haven't said anything to compare, I can't compare with you compared to embroidery. Wu Chenliang pretended to be displeased.

Hua Qiao stuck out her tongue, pointed to the persimmon tree at the root of the wall in the west courtyard and said, "Let's compare who picks more frozen persimmons." ”

The persimmon tree next to the wall of the west courtyard is an old tree, which grows tall and large. Half of the canopy is in the east courtyard and half of the canopy is in the west courtyard. The people of Suncheonfu have a habit that when the persimmons are ripe, they do not pick all of them, but leave some of them on the trees.

This winter is cold early, the ripe persimmons were frozen on the treetops early, and now they are beaten down and eaten with ice slag, and the people of Shuntianfu call this "drinking honey", crisp and sweet, the best to eat.

"Good! I'll see how you get up! ”

Wu Chenliang didn't care what people said about other people's old skin, he flew up, waved a three-edged whip, and hit an ice persimmon, hitting two or three times in a row. When he landed, he just caught the three ice persimmons that fell.

Haiying and Haiming next to him clapped their hands excitedly. The young master told them that he would please the master more, and let the master teach them martial arts in the future. The master's martial arts are so good, they are naturally happy, and they quickly applaud and please.

Hua Qiao glanced at Xiao Gao, shook his arm like a stone, and went straight to the ice persimmon. Then there were two more stones, and three ice persimmons fell one after another, and Xiao Gao caught the three persimmons and put them into the dustpan that Haiming brought.

This time it was Wu Chenliang's turn to be surprised, I didn't expect the little girl to have the kung fu to throw the hidden weapon, but she didn't have internal strength, it all relied on skill.

"Now it's time to officially start, you're Uncle Single-Whip, and I'm a featherless arrow."

Wu Chenliang didn't know what she was talking about, only knew that "it began", and hurriedly repeated the old trick and flew to whip the frozen persimmons. This time he picked up the speed of his hands and knocked down four at a time.

Hua Qiao is not polite, she just throws stones, and Xiao Gao continues below.

The two of them beat each other, and soon all the twenty or so "drinking honey" hanging on the tree were knocked down.

Haiming counted two dustpans, and the buckwheat had two more than Wu Chenliang. Wu Chenliang moved for a while, and his mood was much better, he laughed and said, "I lost, admit punishment!" ”

"Buckwheat can't be considered a win." Hu Yanjin, who had been standing by the door for a long time and peeking, walked in with a smile.

Wu Chenliang immediately straightened his face and said, "Your father can afford to lose this, and I don't need you to help!" ”

"I'm not helping you, Dad, I'm judging fairly: the stones beaten by the buckwheat broke the tiles in the west courtyard in two, should this offset the two persimmons? Then the two of you are a draw at most. What are you betting on? ”

Hua Qiao ignored him, and only smiled and said to Wu Chenliang: "Uncle, let's go back to the house and eat together, there is no share of him!" ”

Hu Yanjin was really surprised and delighted when he stood at the door just now and saw his daughter-in-law, playing a game with the old man of his own family.

Surprised, Hua Qiao dared to put a beard on the tiger's mouth and provoke my general; Happily, General Wu actually accepted the offer, and it also showed his love for life.

Perhaps, it will be much easier to persuade yourself.
