017, competition to recruit relatives
The Mid-Autumn Festival visit was quickly forgotten. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe strange thing about the Hai brothers and sisters is that everyone drinks tea, why hasn't their skills improved as quickly as they did after drinking tea? The only explanation is that the tea they drank during the Mid-Autumn Festival was just ordinary tea. But in such a serious place as the House of Elders, can you just ask everyone to go up on a big festival and just drink an ordinary cup of tea? It seems a little illogical.
Soon winter is coming, the Spring Festival is coming, and it is customary to have three days off. But a few days before the holiday, everyone knew that this holiday, it is likely that they will never return to the House of Elders.
Because according to the request of the clan, in order to prepare for the union of the five clans, this group of students graduated early and went home to participate in the war.
That is, no one will be able to pass the next step in the selection of the House of Elders.
Is there a doubt in the minds of the students that they did not complete their studies because of worldly needs and did not pass the selection of the House of Elders?
The House of Elders did not explain this point positively, but just said: there will be a chance to get together.
This sentence goes deeper, and the understanding is that without fate, you will never see each other again.
Fortunately, the sadness of young people will not last long, especially when the atmosphere of the New Year is quickly diluted.
Shui Junhan's house is very lively and full of joy. There are three things that the water family is very happy about.
The first is to welcome Shui Junhan back from graduation and officially enter the society.
The second is to promote the alliance with the other four clans and jointly wage war against the Dragon Clan, Patriarch Shui Wen decided to immediately promote Shui Junhan as an assistant to further cultivate his leadership ability and prestige, so as to take over the position of patriarch as soon as possible.
The third thing is what Shui Junhan is really happy about, Shui Wen decided to propose relatives for Shui Junhan, and the object is Shui Linbo.
The Shui people are divided into five major surnames, and the Shui clan is the largest. The water clan is divided into three major families. Shuiwen and Shuijunhan are the strongest. Shui Wen's wife, Shui Mu's family, is second. The family of water showers is the third.
But there was a split in the Shuiwen branch that year, that is, Shuiwen and Shuize, a pair of cousins, had to compete for the patriarch.
The patriarch at that time was their grandfather, so it was possible for either of them to take over the patriarch. But Shui Wen married Shui Mu, Shui Junhan's mother, united the second largest family, took the advantage, and became the patriarch.
Now as long as Shui Junhan marries Shui Linbo, he will combine the three major water clans more closely, and the other four clans will have no problem.
As parents, Shui Wen and his wife first consulted Shui Junhan's candidate.
Of course, Shui Junhan's candidate is very satisfactory to his parents.
Without further ado, on the first day of the new year, the Shuiwen couple personally brought a heavy gift to the Shui Lin Bo family to propose marriage.
The patriarch and his wife came in person, the gifts were heavy, the etiquette was deep, and the young man was excellent, no matter from which point of view, Shui Wen thought that things would go well.
But the result did not fit the mood of the New Year.
The first is that there are no water showers.
The second is that Shui Linbo's parents said that the girl had already made up her own mind on how to choose a son-in-law, and her parents were not good at interfering.
Mr. and Mrs. Shuiwen simply had nothing to say. Before I came, I thought that as long as the man put it forward in the general direction, it would be determined, and the woman would just be harsh on the details, in other words, the woman just needed a step and a face, just to show that she was not easy to agree. But it turns out that the place where you need to do your homework is not in the details, but in principle.
After talking back and forth all morning, the Shuiwen couple identified two items:
The first is that the parents of the water shower wave are by no means simply polite.
The second is that Shui Linbo's parents have no intention of leaving them for lunch.
These two are related: if Shui Linbo's parents leave them for lunch, then there is hope and possibility, even if they say no. If you don't keep food, you don't want to go any further.
Shui Wen and his wife went home very depressed, not knowing how to explain to Shui Junhan. Shui Junhan was embarrassed to ask deeply, but the first day of the new year was not good.
Fortunately, there were many guests from my family who came in the evening to help Shui Junhan ask about the process in detail.
Shui Junhan not only understood the above two items, but he also understood one more: Shui Linbo's parents didn't know how Shui Linbo chose a son-in-law, so it was impossible for her parents to explain it to their parents. According to her previous understanding of the water shower, she did it.
There is no other good way but to keep an eye on it.
According to the arrangement of the joint meeting of the five clans, this summer's joint action will be studied and decided by the five patriarchs together. Therefore, the five patriarchs may have to focus frequently, so they can't be with their own people often, so they need a person who conveys orders, gives feedback, and even commands the clansmen on behalf of the patriarch, and this person is undoubtedly not just one person who can do it. He must have both personal qualities and the trust of the patriarch.
The person chosen by Shui Wen is, of course, his son Shui Junhan. Therefore, if the marriage fails, they still have a lot to do, and the Shui Wen couple are not as anxious as Shui Junhan.
As usual, the water shower did not see Hesheng.
Hesheng's mother felt guilty and persuaded Shui Linbo: "You don't have to wait for him, he is not worth your wait." ”
Shui Linbo said very sadly: "Why can't I grasp his heart?"
Hesheng's mother said: "It's he who is not motivated, you are a good boy, you did your best." ”
"I always felt that he would make great achievements one day, but we didn't understand him. ”
Hesheng's mother was moved and helpless: "Your fate is so big, you are destined not to go any further, and it is good to be friends." ”
Shui Linbo said: "He doesn't even want to see me, and he can't even be a friend." ”
Ha Sheng's mother comforted her: "Then how can it? Hesheng still remembers you, and he said that he wants to give you a gift. ”
Shui Linbo asked, "Is it a New Year's gift? I haven't received it yet?"
Ha Sheng's mother said, "It's not a New Year's gift, but he told me to tell you that on the day you decide something big, he's going to give you a very important gift." ”
Shui Lin Bo was surprised: "How does he know that I have something important?"
Ha Sheng's mother said, "Ahem, that's what I asked him. He said that it is nothing more than a man getting married, and a woman getting married. ”
Shui Linbo asked in disappointment, "That's how he sees me, where the hell has he gone?"
Ha Sheng's mother said: "He went to Beihai...... I dreamed for three days in a row that his father was in the North Sea ......"
Shui Linbo asked, "When will he come back?"
Ha Sang's mother said, "After the fall. ”
Shui Lin Bo walked a long, long way in the snow before he calmed down. When she returned home, her parents told her that Shui Junhan's parents had come to propose today.
Shui Linbo still felt a little abrupt at how quickly things were going. When her parents asked her what to do, she thought about it and said four words, almost not scaring her parents: a competition to recruit relatives.
"We had to refuse, but we couldn't offend them too much, or they would send my father to the most disadvantaged place in the summer," Shui explained. The reason for our competition is that the dragon clan is coming, and we must find someone with strong martial arts to protect us. And Shui Junhan's martial arts are not the highest, and many of our classmates are higher than him. ”
Shui Linbo's parents asked, "What if the person you don't like wins?"
Shui Linbo smiled: "Then I'm afraid you have to pass my level." ”
The parents of the water were bottomless all of a sudden.
But as soon as the regulations for the Shui Lin Bo competition came out, Shui Junhan's parents were bottomless.
Because this is a competition to recruit relatives, this is simply recruiting the future patriarch.
It happened that the school was on holiday, and Shui Linbo borrowed the school's big playground to open the examination, and everyone's answers were transcribed in large characters for public display, but no specific score was given. This means that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and it is up to everyone to judge whether the final decision is reasonable.
The first level of the written test is a short-answer question. Because you can't just be rude, no one wants to choose a son-in-law with a simple mind and developed limbs.
Each person has a question, and the contestants don't know if their question is the same as others.
The question drawn by Shui Junhan is: There are clouds in ancient times: I have the Three Treasures, keep them, which Three Treasures are you talking about?
Shui Junhan's answer was blank, because he didn't know, and he didn't dare to scribble for fear of other people's jokes.
The question drawn by Haixi is: There are clouds in ancient times: the tiger is out of charge, and the turtle jade is destroyed in the coffin, what is said later?
Haixi's answer was: Whose fault was asked later.
The others also answered and blanked, and they all showed them one by one.
The second level is the written essay question, which is the same question: What is the most important question in the union of the five major clans?
Shui Junhan discussed in detail the union of the five ethnic groups from three perspectives: historical evolution, current situation and future prospects.
Haixi's answer is very simple: sincerity, the biggest problem with the alliance of the five major clans is whether there is sincerity, and it is impossible for either side to succeed without sincerity.
Others also talked a lot, and all of them were much longer than Haixi Answer.
The written test question in the third level is even more bizarre: please write the names of the people you know about the water, sea, river, river, and river, the more the better.
As a result, the water dredging culvert knows a little more than the sea tide, but it is only ranked second to last, and the sea tide is the first from the bottom. One of the most famous was a young man from the Jiang clan who knew almost everyone in the vicinity of the center.
The written test on the first day is over. Before the end, it will be announced that the next day will be a tournament, so please get ready.
Mr. and Mrs. Shui Wen thought it was very inappropriate and persuaded Shui Junhan to withdraw.
This is Shui Linbo choosing a son-in-law, she is purely showing off herself.
Shui Wen said look at what she wrote on the sign at the entrance door: If any player or the player's family conceals the innocence of history, please quit automatically, otherwise even if you are selected, once you are found in the future, you will immediately sever the relationship and become an enemy forever. What does this mean, it's obviously a gimmick and a show. Moreover, tomorrow's competition will be troublesome if Shui Junhan is injured.
In fact, the Shuiwen couple think that this is more like choosing the future patriarch, and because of this, if Shui Junhan loses the election, it will be the real trouble. Although this is not really the choice of the future patriarch, but the posture is very sufficient, if it is really lost, it will lose a lot in the hearts of the people.
The Shuiwen couple thought that they would have an advantage in competing for the patriarch in the future, and there was no need to take this risk in advance now.
But this is absolutely unconvincing on Shui Junhan's side.
One is that he is confident that he will fight among the young leaders. One is that he can't give up on Shui Dipping Waves easily.
Shui Junhan thinks that if the House of Elders chooses Shui Linbo, he may be helpless, and now that it is free competition in the world, he must work hard.
There was no way, Shui Wen and his wife had to help Shui Junhan prepare for tomorrow. This includes resting well at night and eating well in the morning.
Maybe the parents of any family told their young men to do so. But they were all wrong. Because when I went to the examination room in the morning, the first level was a very thin iron bucket for each person to see who got through first.
Everyone thought that today was a physical exertion, so they were not polite for breakfast, and they all ate themselves very roughly.
Only Haixi, who didn't care, ate the least, and easily got over and sat on the side to nibble on apples and watch everyone feel uncomfortable.
