Text Chapter Seventy-Nine: Recruiting Relatives in Competition
Xiao He and Duan Heng watched from the side, and the group of people who lined up before shook their heads one by one, and few people could guess the riddle. If one or two guesses are met, the riddle paper will be torn up immediately, and someone will hand you a new riddle after a while.
Duan Heng couldn't help but show a little curiosity when he saw Xiao He, so he said, "Let's also go and line up to guess and see what kind of problems her young lady has." ”
Xiao He laughed at him, he was interested in other young ladies, and he also used the excuse of going to see riddles. The two joked with each other while getting to the back of the line and began to line up. The people in line in front of them were basically like boiling dumplings and falling into the water, one by one they had to be brushed down and rushed to the side. Occasionally, someone can guess and put the name and address on the paper.
The old man who put the question shook his head mostly, and few nodded.
After a while, it was Xiao He and Duan Heng's turn, and the two of them stood side by side. The old man glanced at them and said slowly: "This recruit relatives is coming one by one, and you will stand behind alone." Duan Heng grabbed Bai and said: "Uncle, I came with my brother, he wants to sign up!" As he spoke, he patted Xiao He on the shoulder.
Xiao He turned his head and glared at Duan Heng, but it was useless.
The old man clicked on the box in front of him and motioned for Xiao He to draw a riddle, and the people behind him also urged impatiently, "Hurry up!" If you don't guess, give way! Xiao He smiled faintly, in terms of guessing riddles, she has never been afraid of anyone, this young lady is really looking for the right person.
So she reached in and took a note, which was an anagram, and the riddle was "The fragrance is gone, and there is no way to smell the fragrance". Xiao He stared at the handwriting on the note, slightly distracted, this Juanxiu font was a little familiar, like a friend of her childhood. At that time, she was sent by her parents to a private school taught by a female gentleman, and the people who studied there were all daughters of high-ranking officials and scholars in the imperial capital......
"Hurry up! Don't grind! No, just admit it! The people in the back were a little louder.
Duan Heng also came over, "Stumped you?" ”
Xiao He chuckled, "How is it possible." She took a pen and wrote a word on the back of the note and handed it to the old man. When the old man saw that the answer was the answer to the riddle, he twisted his beard and smiled, "Son, please leave your name and address of the house, even if the registration is successful." ”
Xiao He leaned over and wrote two lines of words, and when he got up, he folded the paper in half and handed it to the old man.
Duan Heng asked on the side, "Brother Xiao is really moved?" That young lady's talent convinced you? Xiao He smiled and said nothing, just waiting for the next martial arts.
With Xiao He, more than ten people have passed the first level, so the green-shirted maid came out again to announce that they could challenge the four King Kongs first. The rule is that you have to beat four people to win. If there are more than two winners, they compete with each other until one of them wins.
Before Xiao He, someone asked the maid when she would be able to see the true face of the young lady, and the maid glanced at her and said, "When you win all the competitions, you will naturally be able to see my young lady." ”
According to the order, they went to the stage one by one to compete.
Although the four big men on the stage are burly, their actions are extremely agile, and they are all years of practice. The rules prohibit the use of weapons, and the point is up to the point. As soon as an overconfident person came on stage, he asked four people to go on it together, but within ten moves, he was caught by four people, thrown off the stage, and fell firmly.
Those who came later did not dare to be careless, and responded to the battle one by one, but almost all of them were defeated before the first person passed. Those four also take turns to start, do not play fatigue battles, and are almost flawless.
In front of Xiao He, the only person with the best result was three people in a row and lost to the fourth person.
When it was Xiao He's turn to take the stage, she took the initiative to ask the four of them to go up together, so that Duan Heng, who was watching the excitement in the audience, couldn't help but sweat for him. Xiao He stood in the middle of the four people, both in size and momentum, but she stood up straight and set up before the gong.
Duan Heng looked left and right, after the martial arts on the stage began, the four thugs scared off a lot of people who joined in the fun, and the number of people queuing up in front of the old man's table to guess the riddle suddenly decreased by more than half. Many people simply came to the stage to watch the excitement like Duan Heng again.
When the gong sounded, everyone was still guessing that Xiao He would be thrown out of the ring within a few moves, but they saw her figure flashing, swimming beside the four people like a small fish. Although the four of them surrounded Xiao He's four corners, trying to trap him and then work together to suppress him, they only saw his people hearing his voice, and they couldn't even catch a corner of his clothes.
Xiao He used a light footwork at this time, which was better than her small size, and she slipped from the person's armpit to the back and attacked his back with a blade, and then turned around and went around the opposite person's ribs to attack his ribs an inch. She didn't practice much in this footwork, but she remembered that she was proficient, so she could bluff people in the first 100 moves, and it was still a little difficult to win by relying on it.
She went around and around, using the moves that looked like sneak attacks, which provoked the four big men to become angry, panting heavily, and their steps were vain, which was a sign of anger. Xiao He smiled slightly, lifted his luck, and turned his palm into a fist. At this time, she used a foreign boxing method, and Duan Heng was a little anxious at the bottom, how could she fight with those people? With the previous way of playing fish play, you may be able to win if you consume it for a long time, but now that you have replaced it with other people's strengths, isn't it looking for death?
Xiao He wanted this effect, and when the four of them saw that Xiao He had changed his moves, they looked at each other and smiled, ready to fight with him with strong pressure and a quick victory.
But she didn't expect that the force that hit Xiao He was easily dissolved by her, but instead she used her strength to fight and returned to herself, and the person who made the move retreated again and again, almost falling to the ground. The square corner surrounded by the four people was suddenly missing a corner, Xiao He didn't give them the slightest time to hesitate to think about it, pressed on the shoulder of the second person, flew and kicked the third person, and kicked him out of the ring.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left on the stage, and Xiao He played one against four into one against two.
The crowd of onlookers in the audience applauded repeatedly.
The rest of the thugs were completely enraged, and reached out from behind to clasp Xiao He's shoulders tightly, his eyes suggesting that his companion came up to grab him, so he repeated the trick and threw him off the ring together.
Xiao He didn't give him this opportunity, like a loach, the whole person slipped out of his outer robe, bent down and lowered his head from the crotch of the big man who ran over to help from the opposite side, and then a carp stiffened, and stepped on the back of the man to the ground and kicked him into the arms of his companion.
At first, Xiao He deliberately showed his moves, making them think that they were going to use their fists to decide the winner, but in fact, it was not, what Xiao He was good at was not any moves, but the best solution was considered at the right time and place, and the self-defense and protection moves that she had learned were mixed into one, and there was no fixed move, and the fight was a little messy, but it was wonderful.
The big man who was crushed to the ground was still holding Xiao He's robe in his hand. She leaned over and grabbed her robe, flipped it over her head with both hands, put it back on, straightened the placket, and made a gesture to the audience, which drew applause from everyone.
After Xiao He got out of the ring, he didn't care about the fact that the master wanted to keep him, so he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away, Duan Heng followed, but he was also puzzled, "Brother Xiao, you obviously won the martial arts, if you continue like this, you will definitely be able to see that young lady, what are you running away from now?" ”
Xiao He turned around and smiled slyly, "It's not that I won, it's you who won." ”
Duan Heng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "The name you wrote just now won't be ......"
"Exactly, congratulations to the son, you will be able to marry a beauty soon." Xiao He was originally here to join in the fun, and was encouraged by Duan Heng to ask her to give it a try, so she had to use his name to give it a try.
In the attic next to the stage, someone came to report, "Miss, the son who won the fight just now is gone, but he left his name and the address of his home." As he spoke, he handed the note over.
Liu Yingluo took the note, opened it and looked at it, only to see the words "Duan Heng" and "An Wangfu" and smiled, but after laughing, she paid attention to the handwriting. The person who writes seems to deliberately imitate his own handwriting, but he is a little more arrogant and strong than his own handwriting.
Liu Yingluo remembered the past when she was a child, and remembered a small figure, but it was a memory that made her heart ache, her nose was sore, and tears almost wanted to roll in her eyes. The maid next to her, Cui'e, saw her young lady like this, and thought that she was angry that the person won the ring but ran away, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, don't worry, I will go to the house tomorrow to ask what that son means." ”
Liu Yingluo was amused by her indignant expression, "No, I'll ask him personally." "She was going to ask Shizi who the real winner of the ring was.
A few days ago, Mrs. Liu went to the palace, and after returning home, she mysteriously told her eldest daughter that she was blessed. Liu Yingluo heard the news, her face changed greatly, she never thought of entering the palace, let alone being the queen.
Mu Churan's cold-hearted and cold-faced appearance, she had seen it several times when she attended the palace banquet with her parents, and she had no good feelings when she first met, and she would not have other thoughts when she met again. The supreme queen that all women in the world longed for, but it was not what she wanted.
The mother was extremely longing for the future prosperity and wealth of the mother and daughter, but Liu Yingluo's heart was cold. She didn't expect that her mother, who had always doted on her, would sell her happiness for that fame.
Just like when she was sent to a women's private school, she was so happy to read and write, but she was rushed home in less than two years. Listening to her father say lightly, "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and it is enough to be able to write a few words and chant a few lines of poetry", and her mother only nodded yes, which had already disappointed her in them.
After that, she secretly made up her mind in her heart to follow the path she wanted, instead of just being the daughter her parents wanted.
She reads and reads for herself, not for her future husband, let alone for her husband and children. She wants to be Liu Yingluo, instead of hanging the title of a certain lady like her mother, spending half her life in an empty heart, pinning all her expectations on others.
