Chapter 239 Dark Tide
Shui Yan listened to Shui Lian's words, glanced at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "The hollow spike is facing the sky, and the real poetry is exquisite, you may not know it if you are with her every day." Li Xiaoqi followed the words of Shui Tong and Shui Lian and glanced at the Guo family stands opposite, and said 'um' absent-mindedly, just looking at the examiner stand in front of him, on the stand, the examiners were humbly walking towards each other on the stage, and it was Ningyi Hou Guo Minda who was let go in the front, followed by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the two knighted generals who protected the country, Li Xiaoqi frowned slightly, how did Guo Minda do this main exam? He is a literati and doesn't know kung fu, on the other side of the platform, Su Ziyi and Lu Hua came up together with a smile, Su Zicheng led Su Zixin to follow behind, Guo Minda hurriedly led everyone to come forward to salute, bowed down and watched the Su brothers and Lu Hua and others sit on the left hand side of the platform, and then took the public examination to sit on a few chairs in the middle in turn.
Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, with these two brothers pressing, in fact, it doesn't matter who is the chief examiner, for a while, she has come to avoid suspicion of martial arts, and secondly, it is not good to ask Su Zicheng more about other matters, even Shui Yan is here, it is not good to ask more, who is the martial arts examiner, I really don't know until now.
There were a few loud net whips in the audience, after a trumpet, the martial arts test officially began, the first game of riding and foot shooting are decent, are tested twice, this riding and shooting on the head is naturally passed, to the second sword and horse fight, the field is very lively, the people of Beiping are still martial, the top and bottom of the various sheds and for civilians to watch the martial arts test outside the fence is crowded with good deeds, all excited, for each of them to see the eyes of the martial arts applauds, or cheers, applause and boos, cheers and scolding one after another, It was lively for a while.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the battle in the field with great interest, those martial artists teamed up, set up formations, and then fought alone, it was indeed very lively, Wei Shuisheng was the best in a group of people, Li Xiaoqi quietly looked at the bright shining eyes, his face was red, and he had forgotten about the water lotus, shook off the folding fan, and looked at the lively fight leisurely and steadily, this martial arts test, both inside and outside the field was very satisfying.
After several previous exams, the number of people in this martial arts test is not too much, more than two hours later, the dust of the martial arts test has settled, Wei Shuisheng riding and shooting, foot shooting, and sword and horse formations are excellent, seeing that they must be in the front, Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, discussed with Shui Yan and picked someone, turned around, drank tea and ate snacks with Shui Tong and Shui Lian, and talked about the martial arts test just now.
On the Li Mansion in the distance, everyone watched the excitement from a distance, and it was really not clear which one and which, Mrs. Jia lifted her skirt and ran upstairs with joy on her face to report: "Grandma, girls, our second master can almost get the first few places, it's really majestic!" Everyone was happy, Yueting crowded around Mrs. Fan, held her and looked at her regretfully: "Alas, it would be nice if I could take a closer look!" ”
"Not really! At this time, if the eldest lady can say hello to the second master, the second master will be more happy and moved! Our five girls are on the front of the Liang Wangye to watch the shed, I saw it from a distance, I heard that the seventh lady of the Shui family, and a grandmother is also there, the eldest lady is not familiar with the seven ladies of the Shui family, it is better to go over and say hello, this is also our knowledge of etiquette. With a strong desire in her eyes, Mrs. Jia tried her best to instigate Mrs. Fan, and Sister Zhang's brows furrowed suddenly: "Isn't this adding to the chaos!" The Shui family is familiar with Xiao Wu, what is familiar with us? That's embarrassing?! Mrs. Fan's face turned red, Yueting's face turned red, holding Mrs. Fan to death, looking at Sister Zhang and muttering hatefully: "She is not familiar with you, how do you know that she is not familiar with your sister?!" Hum! You should be you! The fifth girl is just one brother, who doesn't know this? Those who stick their faces the dead skin that can't be stained, of course people are not familiar with you! ”
"You!" Sister Zhang's face was flushed, and she almost slapped Yueting when she pointed at it, but Mrs. Fan hurriedly stepped forward to block and persuade: "Yueting's mouth is straighter, go back and say her, you are older than her, take care of it." Mrs. Sun hurriedly stepped forward to grab Sister Zhang, and while dragging her back, she whispered: "Eldest Sister is calm, you are also nosy, there is a fifth master, which one is arrogant?" Usually you don't even let the door of the house enter, so you can take care of it, what do you have to do with her? We have been with the fifth master for so many years, born and died, who doesn't understand anything in your heart? Besides, the fifth master has a few brothers, then the fifth master has the final say! ”
"Sun Da/Grandma said this clearly, eldest sister don't lower your identity, now the martial arts test is over, we have to go back quickly, tonight must be lively again, the fifth master has a lot of things, this matter has to be the eldest sister to Zhang Luo, Ming'er put the list, that there are so many things that I can't say clearly, the eldest sister is busy and can't finish it, but I don't have time to worry about the villain, let's go, let's go back quickly, the day before yesterday the fifth master complained that he hadn't eaten the duck that the eldest sister burned for a long time, didn't the eldest sister say that if the second master of Wei took the exam today, Will you burn it for the fifth and second masters? I waited for the eldest sister to burn this duck and stole a craft from the eldest sister. Ming Wan stepped forward and took Sister Zhang's other hand, while persuading her with a gun and a stick, while pulling her down to the shed, Ming Jing took two steps forward, as if leading the way, the corners of Mrs. Sun's mouth went down, and she glanced at Mrs. Fan and Yueting with the corner of her eyes, and then Mingwan's words, even said with a smile What dishes to cook tonight, what things to prepare tomorrow, and several people went all the way down to see the shed.
Mrs. Jia watched a few people get off the shed, thinking about what Mr. Zhijing said, she was a little stunned with emotion, and she was stunned before she reacted, and hurriedly accompanied the smile on her face to persuade Mrs. Fan: "Don't worry about them, a group of countrymen, countrymen are not good at this, their eyelids are shallow and short-sighted, or the Yueting girl understands, in the end, the kinship of this blood can't be broken, as the saying goes, broken bones are connected to tendons, the eldest lady is still in filial piety, it is only advisable to keep quietly, how to get the lively place to eat and drink?" The five girls are really for the good of the eldest lady, the eldest lady thinks about it, in the future, this is all connected to the family voice, speaking of which, these five girls are really admirable, everything is thoughtful, think about it carefully, the five girls are really good to the eldest lady! Yueting glared at Mrs. Jia fiercely, and snorted heavily, Mrs. Jia ignored her, and gently dusted Mrs. Fan with a handkerchief that didn't exist at all, lowered her voice and then persuaded: "What Miss Yueting said is very true, speaking of which, the eldest lady is the sister-in-law of the fifth girl, and the fifth girl is different from the eldest lady, and the eldest lady naturally can't compare with them." Mrs. Jia carefully looked at Mrs. Fan's face, and saw that her complexion eased a lot, so she continued to say: "Say something that shouldn't be said, those people, take it seriously, but they are just the people under the Li family, what kind of dog, not even the people under the door, Dingtian is the same as the old woman, it is just the people who are waiting for the master's family, what they have to do, and what the eldest lady wants to do, the difference between heaven and earth, according to the words of the eldest lady, what is the difference between heaven and earth." ”
"That's it! Mama is right in saying this! Yueting hurriedly answered, Mrs. Fan's face softened a lot, and she sighed slowly, Mrs. Jia diligently poured a cup of tea and served it, and then persuaded: "For example, at this time, they should go back to prepare for the celebration banquet, and take care of the auspicious things that will be scattered and rewarded tomorrow, this matter is what the people under the door and the servants have to do, the eldest lady is the master's family, and at this time it should be perfunctory with those ladies and grandmothers, and welcome the send-off. The eldest lady is coming and going, and she has to pay attention to which family has a suitable girl's family, which is what the eldest lady should do. ”
Yueting was happy for a while, anxious for a while, and angry for a while, listening to Mrs. Jia's words, stunned, and too late to answer, Mrs. Jia saw that Mrs. Fan's complexion had calmed down, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and got to the point: "Big lady, look at the second master of Wei today, the second master of Wei is so good in the exam, the eldest lady should go over to take a look, first, the second master of Wei sees his own family, how warm his heart is, and second, the second master of Wei looks like the uncle, he is going to be an official, he has no daughter-in-law now, this inner house is at the end, the eldest lady has to do more for him, The eldest lady should not underestimate the comings and goings between this lady, it is very important, and then say something that should not be said, this official pays attention to the sound and tone of communication, take care of each other, the uncle, in the future, there are two masters echoing and taking care of each other, this is the road to the official is wide, the eldest lady wants to be a virtuous helper, the uncle can't think of it, the eldest lady has to think of it, just rush to this, the eldest lady should also go over to the second master to say congratulations. After saying this, Mrs. Fan suddenly opened her mouth, with a smile on her face, looked at Mrs. Jia and thanked her: "Or Mama understands everything, Mama looks, is it over now, or wait a little longer?" ”
"What are you waiting for? It's time to go! Mrs. Jia smiled and replied easily, Mrs. Fan nodded, stood up and straightened her dress, Yueting followed closely, hugged her and said, "I'll go with my sister!" A trace of pity and helplessness flashed in Mrs. Jia's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Miss Yueting is a Yunying unmarried girl's family, let's go back first." Yueting's annoyed face turned blue, and she smacked at Mrs. Jia, and stomped her feet with Mrs. Fan and shouted, "I'll go with my sister!" It's all a family, what Yunying is not Yunying! I can't congratulate my second brother?! What to pay attention to not to pay attention to! Bah! The second brother's family affairs want you to take care of the old pious woman! ”
