Chapter 453: Grab a job with Yue Lao
In order to reduce the influence of the previous prince's liking for drama, and also to show the sincerity of the royal family, after the routine decree, the emperor sent a super luxurious lineup of relatives.
The crown prince and the prince, the scholar of the Zhongji Palace, the first assistant of the cabinet Zhou Jiong, the prince and the young master, the scholar of the Jianji Palace, the cabinet assistant minister Xia Lingxing, the prince Taibao, the Rongguo Gong Jia pardon, the prince Shaobao, the marquis of Jianzhang, the commander of the Governor Long Guard, Cao Jiugong, the prince and the young master of the prince, and He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the five top civil and military bigwigs in the court, went to the Zhang family with the edict.
The princess and concubine landed in the British Mansion, and the people who had guessed it a long time ago immediately arrived at the gate of the British Mansion one after another with the congratulatory gifts prepared in advance.
But Mr. Zhang estimated that he had expected it a long time ago, and the British Mansion was still closed, and low-key behavior seemed to have been engraved into the bones of the Zhang family.
Except for a few of the more than a dozen calves of the Zhang family who have reached adulthood and started to handle the big wedding, the rest should go to school, practice martial arts, and the arrogance of the future uncle will not exist at all.
The old man's military stick was beaten, but it hurt much more than the board in Shuntianfu.
Compared with the hard life of the herd of calves, the life of the six girls is much more interesting.
Perhaps Jia Cong and Daiyu were in the middle, Zhang Taijun and Shen attached great importance to the invitation sent by Daiyu, and after the canonized holy decree arrived at Zhang's house, the next day Zhang Kelu accompanied Zhang Liu's girl to visit Rongguo Mansion.
The arrival of the crown princess made the old lady happy in her heart.
Zhang Bao'er is not only good-looking, but also has a sweet mouth, and after staying in Rongxi Hall for less than a quarter of an hour, she coaxed the old lady into laughter and established a preliminary friendship with several girls in the family.
Jia Cong in the front hall had a headache, because this captive was too noisy.
How can I say that he is an old man of twenty-four or five, how can he still be like a child who has not grown up, and he has to pull the host's house to compete as a guest.
Jia Cong looked at the muscles all over this guy's body, and only when he had a hole in his brain would he respond to the competition.
On the contrary, Liu Xianglian, the second aunt of the Jia family, who returned to live temporarily after the wedding, came to be interested, and a few people who were supposed to drink tea in the front hall talked and laughed out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion and came to the martial arts arena built next to the clan school.
At this time, it was the time of the class of ethnology, and the sound of the fight between Zhang Kelu and Liu Xianglian in table tennis suddenly attracted the students in the class of ethnology.
Master Jing was also surprised that there were people on the martial arts field at this time, and the little guy returned to the palace that a few young masters in the house competed with the eldest son of the Zhang family, so he stopped his schoolwork and took a group of children from the clan to the martial arts arena to observe.
This is a rare opportunity, Liu Xianglian, Zhang Keyu and their own Jia Lian are the most promising of the younger generation, let this group of rich and noble boys who are used to suffering take a good look, what is the real martial arts children!
Boom~
Liu Xianglian not only has superb swordsmanship, but he was born in the Liguo Mansion, and his horse fighting skills are naturally not weak.
The two of them were holding long sticks, and when they slapped their horses and rushed to kill, the tip of the stick hit the armor on each other's chest almost at the same time.
After a deafening impact, the two of them took a deep breath and tried their best to maintain their figures, and after Lerma stopped, they looked at each other, but Gu did not strike again.
Without him, he did his best in that collision, and at this time he was exhausted, and it was already very good to be able to sit firmly on the horse.
"No, no, take a break~"
Zhang Kelu threw away the long stick in his hand, got off the horse and sat directly on the ground, rubbing his wrist and saying with a wry smile: "After so many years, Erlang is still so fierce in fighting." Second Brother Lian, in the horse war, I'm afraid only you can beat Erlang. After all, Second Brother Lian's horse warfare technique is the ...... in our generation."
Seeing Zhang Kelu raise his thumb, Jia Lian shook his head.
"It used to be, but not anymore."
Yes?
"Is there anyone else who can beat Second Brother Lian in horse battles?"
Zhang Keyu's surprise is normal, Jia Lian's military exploits over the years are mostly won by fighting with fewer victories and more horse battles, and there is still someone in the capital who can defeat this killing god?
Jia Lian spread his hands and said: "That man should have heard of Xue Pan, the general of the East Palace, Zuo Fu Rate, Huaiyuan." β
Hiss!
"It's the monster ......"
After Zhang Kelu exclaimed, he remembered that Xue Pan was still a relative of the Jia family, got up and hugged his fists with a few people and said: "It's the little brother who is rude, and I ask the second brother Lian to bear with me." It's ......."
Wow, that's a shame to say.
The old Zhang family wanted to give the new son-in-law the prince a "dismount", but he didn't expect to be given a big "surprise" by the prince.
Later, I inquired, and there was a powerful "dumb overlord" Xue Pan in the East Palace, who was a little naΓ―ve, but he was really fucking like the reincarnation of the overlord, carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd to practice with the prince every day.
It is said that this guy rushed to kill, and dozens of people couldn't take him down together.
Under the sparring of such fierce people, the prince has already practiced the skills of four or two thousand catties, and he can't complain that he Zhang Keyu will lose to the seemingly weak prince.
"I know, I know, I fought him once before, and a halberd smashed me off the horse."
Jia Lian also had a wry smile on his face, Xue Pan brought more than a dozen people in Wara, and captured a group of princes and nobles in Wara, and his record was close to that of Huo Hussar.
He had itchy hands and had to pull others to compete, but he didn't expect to be smashed off the war horse with just one move. Although there are reasons for his carelessness, Xue Pan's strength is really off the charts!
When several people talked about Xue Panlai, their faces were full of helplessness.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy really couldn't read, his future achievements would definitely not be worse than theirs.
It's a pity......
"Brother Cong, who are you talking about?"
With a snap, Jia Cong only felt that his shoulder hurt, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Xue Pan.
"Brother Xue is really ...... Don't tapped me on the shoulder next time, you'll almost fall apart. β
Seeing that Xue Pan was grinning and his palm was about to fall again, Jia Cong hurriedly hid aside, rubbed his shoulder and said, "Isn't this just talking about you~ By the way, why does Brother Xue have time to come over?" β
Xue Pan bowed his hand to Jia Lian and the others, and replied casually: "My mother said that she wanted to come and talk to the old lady, so I followed......
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and it coincided with Xiu Mu, Mrs. Xue was very quiet today, and wanted to come to Rongguo Mansion to visit the old lady, so Xue Pan escorted her mother over.
Hearing that Brother Fuzhong accompanied Zhang Jialang to the martial arts arena for the competition, he immediately rushed over.
Xue Pan's arrival immediately made Zhang Keyu's eyes ignite with war intent.
The fierce general's eyes have never been afraid, and he pulled him into the martial arts arena without waiting for a greeting or two, and he had to divide the victory and defeat.
Zhang Kelu's fighting spirit was indeed worthy of praise, but he was soon defeated in disgrace.
For Xue Pan, the Jia family didn't even have a weapon to take advantage of in the martial arts arena.
He felt that the stick in his hand was light and fluttering, so he threw it aside and practiced with Zhang Kelu with his bare hands.
Zhang Kelu originally wanted to say that Xue Pan was disrespectful, but before he could say it, he felt like he was flying.
"Wow~"
As soon as Master Jing arrived at the martial arts arena with a bunch of small radish heads, he saw a swarthy man on the stage, who was lifting another strong man horizontally with both hands......
Xue Pan was also taught under the name of the Lord Jing, although he couldn't study, the Lord was still quite fond of his honest character.
Seeing the pile of small radish heads beside him, they clapped their hands and cheered, and it was also an honor to respect the old man.
Boom!
Xue Pan suddenly saw Master Jing, and subconsciously wanted to bow down and stand up.
So, Zhang Dalang fell to the ground, and was about to scold when he saw Xue Pan on the side bowing.
"Good morning, sir, sir."
β¦β¦
Jia Jing of Ning Rongjia's family may not be the most capable of fighting, but he is definitely the wisest group of people.
Armed with Tao strategy, Master Jing is even stronger than Jia Yu, Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong and other veterans of the battlefield.
After Zhang Kelu saw the person who came, he immediately got up from the ground and bowed down to say goodbye.
The opportunity is rare, and you must consult this former Donggong thinker who once crisscrossed the desert.
"Brother Pan's martial arts are getting older, and he can compete with Zhang Dalang. It just so happens that you all go up to perform martial arts, let me see if you have grown, and also open the eyes of this group of dolls. β
Master Jing didn't want to miss this good opportunity, so he quickly divided Jia Lian and the others into two teams and asked them to do their best to compare the last game.
Including riding and shooting, fists and feet, weapons, etc., Jia Cong and Xue Pan fought a draw with Jia Lian, Liu Xianglian, and Zhang Keyu.
Even when comparing fists and feet with weapons, it is faintly higher.
Great strength, it's really amazing~
Jia Cong was already thinking in his heart, if he built a fine armor armor for Xue Pan, and then let him carry his Fang Tian painting halberd, would this guy be a humanoid bulldozer?
After Jia Lian and a few people performed martial arts, Master Jing sent the dolls up, and several people selected people to start the competition of military formation.
One morning, the cheers on the martial arts arena did not stop, and Zhang Kelu could be regarded as seeing the background of the Jia family with his own eyes.
For example, Jia Lian's arrangement, Jia Cong's archery skills and strategies, Liu Xianglian's swordsmanship and spearmanship, and Xue Pan, the reincarnated overlord, opened his eyes.
Glancing at Jia Jing, the former Donggong thinker who took a group of mud monkeys back to the school, Zhang Kelu's eyes gurgled and rolled.
Compared with the Jia family, the British government is still a little worse.
Why don't you let your grandfather resign from all the official positions of Na Laoshizi and learn from Jia Jing to go to the clan to teach?
β¦β¦
The Xue and Jia families are good families, and Mrs. Xue came all the way to Rongxi Hall, and after meeting the crown princess Zhang Bao'er, the sorrow in her heart deepened.
The prince has a daughter-in-law, and my brother Pan's family still has no clue, alas~
The girls went to play outside, and Mrs. Xue finally had the opportunity to pour out the bitter water in her heart with the old lady.
I think that the old lady's impression of Xue Pan was not good at all, for fear that the brother in the family would be damaged by him.
But later I found out that this Xue family man who grinned and scratched his brain as soon as he spoke was honest, generous, and righteous.
As for the lust that was rumored before, the old lady scoffed at it.
The Xue family's millions of family fortunes, even if they have more than a dozen concubines, what is there? It's not a robbing of people's daughters in broad daylight......
"Didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to be a matchmaker for Brother Pan? Why not? β
The old lady saw that Mrs. Xue kept wiping her tears, so she comforted her: "Don't be anxious, Brother Pan is a good boy, and now he is valued by the East Palace, and he has a good future, so we have to take a good look at each other and choose a suitable daughter-in-law for him." β
"That's right, but Brother Pan'er's evil obstacles...... Alas, old lady, don't you know, after seeing each other a few times, now as soon as you hear this, you run to the East Palace and don't come back......"
Mrs. Xue had a headache as soon as she talked about seeing her son's daughter-in-law, and after pouring bitter water for the old lady, she sat in the Rongxi Hall and sighed.
The nephew Xue Zhen has agreed with the girl of the Xing family, and he is about to get married.
As an elder brother, Xue Pan's family affairs have not been settled so far, and Mrs. Xue is about to die of her son's family affairs.
The old lady took Mrs. Xue's hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, those so-called scholarly families listen to the wind and rain, and say that Brother Pan is a rude man." But I think Brother Pan'er's straightforward nature will bring him great luck in the future. In this way, I asked people to go to Brother Cong, he had met a lot of generals in Hexi before, and he chose a suitable daughter-in-law for our Brother Pan. β
When Jia Cong was called to Rongxi Hall, he didn't even have time to change his clothes covered with dust and sweat.
"What? Show Brother Xue a daughter-in-law? This ......"
When he heard that he was going to find a daughter-in-law for Xue Pan, the whole person was stunned.
What's going on lately? Why do you always want to draw red lines for people? Yue Lao, Ben Bo is trying to rob you of your job!
The old lady gave Jia Cong an order in Mrs. Xue's expectant eyes.
"Your aunt is about to die of Brother Pan's family, since the daughter of the civil official family is not happy, let's go to the martial artist's house. It doesn't make sense that a good brother will still lack a daughter-in-law? β
Jia Cong remembered what he had heard from Daiyu before, it seemed that Xue Pan's family affairs could not be settled, not only that the civil officials disliked Xue Pan as a vulgar martial artist, but it was more likely that Xue Pan already had a heart.
He hesitated, but still said to the old lady and Mrs. Xue: "In this way, let me ask Brother Xue what he means first, if he is willing, I will communicate with several generals of Lanzhou and Ningxiawei......"
β¦β¦
Today, there are distinguished guests at home, and the banquet is rich in wine and food.
Zhang Keyu's alcohol consumption is excellent, and he keeps toasting with Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian. Originally, Xue Pan also wanted to participate, but was pulled aside by Jia Cong.
"Brother Xue, I have to ask you something......
Jia Cong didn't hide it, but asked bluntly: "Aunt asked the old lady for your family affairs, and the old lady gave me a death order, asking me to show you a suitable daughter-in-law." If Brother Xue already has someone in his heart, please tell my brother and me, and I will help you turn around. β
Yes?
Xue Pan, who was eager to try to drink with others just now, was stunned at the moment. Before Jia Cong's words were finished, the roots of his neck became red, and his whole body twisted.
Jia Cong understood at a glance that this guy really had a crush, otherwise he wouldn't be like a big girl.
He asked again: "It's all this time, Brother Xue is still hiding?" When my aunt saw you like this, she was undecided, and thought you were a rabbit and only liked men......"
was provoked by Jia Cong's words, and Xue Pan was not happy now.
Maybe it's because I drank some wine, and I can't hide my words. He slapped the table and yelled loudly.
"Nonsense, where do I like men, I have long been optimistic, but the situation in that family is not very good, and I am afraid that my mother will not want to. She kept saying that she would find me a noble girl from a noble family, if she knew that I had fallen in love with a tofu seller......"
