(With the triptych version as the background, I haven't seen the latest revised version.) ）

Huang Shang turned out to be Huang Shang, the author of "Nine Yin True Scripture", a character who exists in the narration.

In Yanping, Fujian, Huangjia Village, amid the sound of reading in the book club, sixteen-year-old Huang Shang is wandering the world.

He really doesn't like to sit here and study, so he doesn't talk about anything to learn, even if he is only eight years old, he doesn't want to enter officialdom in this life.

I have martial arts and skills, and in this era, just taking out one item is enough to eat and drink spicy food.

However, my father was sad.

"Half of Longmen is in Minchuan", with the southward shift of the economic center of gravity, Fujian is no longer a barren place. An abundant labor force, a well-developed economy, and the result is a flourishing education.

In this era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and the Song Dynasty, which is still known for its "preferential treatment of scholars and doctors", the academies that rise and fall one after another, reading has penetrated into every corner.

Huang is a big surname in Fujian, and the branch where Huang Sheng is located is just a side branch. The patriarch is Huang Shang's father, and he wants to make this a big official, so he attaches great importance to education, and all the men surnamed Huang in the whole village must study.

It was not bad, everything was according to the assumption of the Huang patriarch, no matter whether he was talented or not, he could study with peace of mind until Huang Sheng was born.

Huang Sheng was keenly aware of the atmosphere of studying here when he was very young, and the only way for him to avoid a career was to hide his clumsiness.

He doesn't want to show his eccentricity everywhere, and if he wants his father to let him go, he can only show his mediocrity.

At any time and in everything, it is a medium level, not high, nor backward, and among the many children of the Huang family, it is always the most inconspicuous.

Fortunately, Patriarch Huang not only has this son, but also other sons who are smart and willing to learn, and it doesn't matter if one is mediocre, it's normal.

The bad thing is that Huang Sheng doesn't need to study hard, but he can't help but practice martial arts. As the author of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", Huang Sheng has practiced the "Nine Yin True Scripture" since he was a child.

Reading mediocrity is not conspicuous here, and the side branch is also a scholarly family, but he can't hide it when he practices martial arts, and he doesn't want to hide it.

In the eyes of a group of scribes, children's martial arts training is the role of strengthening the body, which is not a bad thing, and if you don't have a good body, how can you read good books. They can't understand that Huang Sheng is practicing peerless martial arts, and in their eyes, there is no peerless martial arts, only peerless officials.

But there are many children who play with Huang Shang, and they also follow suit, they are all of the same clan and surname, Huang Shang did not hesitate, there are those who want to learn, and Huang Shang also teaches very carefully.

If you just punch and kick every day, it won't take much effort, but Huang Sheng is a great master, even if he casually mentions a few words, it is enough for many people to spend their lives studying. Some children are immersed in martial arts training and abandon their studies.

If it's okay to have just one or two, the problem is that there are a lot of people like that. After all, reading is actually still very boring, and for some people, that kind of hard work is even worse than martial arts. When I didn't have a choice, I could only study, and now that I have a choice, I naturally want to find another way. There are even many older than Huang Sheng who also learn from him.

This set off a wave of martial arts practice in Huangjia Village, and in the eyes of the Huang patriarch, this is not doing business.

After class, Huang Shang returned to his home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting in the hall.

Huang Shang said hello and wanted to slip away, but was stopped by his father: "Stop!" ”

Huang Sheng immediately stopped and asked in a very respectful tone, "What's the matter?" Daddy. ”

Patriarch Huang said: "This time the test has registered you again, go back and prepare for it." ”

Huang Sheng frowned when he heard this, and said, "Daddy, I'm not ready yet, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Hearing this, the Huang clan was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

Patriarch Huang said angrily: "Such an adult, he can't even pass the test, and he doesn't do his job all day long." ”

In fact, it's normal to fail the test, but in a scholarly family like the Huang family, it's a little bad.

Huang Sheng immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, Daddy, I'll go and prepare." ”

After saying that, he ran away.

Seeing him like this, Patriarch Huang was even more angry. Signing up is not a simple matter, and someone needs to guarantee it. Although with the Huang family's family situation, this is not difficult, but it always needs to use some favors.

Huang Sheng returned to his room, and a woman inside greeted the guest and said, "Little master, you are back." ”

Huang Sheng nodded and said, "Sister Li, go and call the third brother, I have something to look for him." ”

Sister Li nodded and walked out of the yard.

This Sister Li came to Huangjia Village two years ago, in her thirties, and said that she was a widow, her husband died, and she was exiled here.

In fact, Sister Li's appearance is above average, she is very slender and handsome, and there are still people in Huangjia Village who don't care about her widow status and want to marry her.

But she didn't agree to any of them, but calmly made Huang Sheng a subordinate and served his diet and daily life.

There is no need to do heavy work, specific things are done by specific people, Sister Li is like a housekeeper and secretary who only serves Huang Shang.

Huang Shang took out a huge stack of drawings from the bookcase, spread them out on his desk and began to write and draw again.

Sister Li led a man into the door, and Huang Shang didn't look up.

As soon as the man entered the door, he asked, "Ninth brother, what are you looking for me?" ”

It was Huang Shang's cousin Huang Jinyuan who came in, although he was the same generation, he was more than 20 years older than Huang Shang.

Huang Shang said: "Third brother, come and see." ”

Huang Jinyuan took a closer look, Huang Shang's drawings depicted a huge sailing ship, the hull carved into the shape of a giant whale, the bow and hull are surrounded by giant bows and ballistas, the hull is curved, and the stern is like a whale's tail, which is a kind of super ship that has never been seen before.

Huang Jinyuan asked, "This is ......?"

Huang Shang said: "This is a kind of sailboat designed by me to support the ocean. If you want to do business, of course, you should do big business, even if you buy and sell, you should go to a farther place. ”

Although the Huang family is a scholarly family, it is impossible for everyone to embark on a career in office, relying on the prosperous economy here, they will still do some business.

Huang Jinyuan was the one who controlled the Huang family's business, and he was really stunned when he looked at Huang Shang's drawings.

He is much older than Huang Shang, but he has a good relationship with Huang Shang, and he also learns martial arts from Huang Shang. Although his age is no longer suitable for martial arts, he was lucky to meet Huang Shang, but unfortunately he himself didn't know how lucky he was.

Because of the lot of contact, Huang Jinyuan knows more about Huang Shang than the patriarch, Huang Shang is very mediocre in reading, but in other aspects, in addition to martial arts, he will also have some strange and obscene skills, but he doesn't show it very much.

But the drawings of the big ship in front of me are still amazing.

Huang Shang said: "Third brother, my father reported to me again for the test, before leaving, I will hand over these drawings to you, build this kind of ship, and the money will naturally come in a steady stream." ”
