Chapter Ninety-One: Branches

"Big nephew? …… You, you are ......" Yu Zhong's words were too unexpected for Hai Liu, although he had already realized something in his subconscious, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"What do you say?" Yu Zhong saw Mo Jing in the crowd, and was so frightened that he hurriedly took the finger that was picking his nose and eyes behind his back as quickly as possible, and then said to Hai Liu.

"You, are you my Uncle Ma? ...... "Hailiu" asked timidly.

"What, Uncle Ma? …… Lao Tzu is your uncle! Yu Zhong said angrily.

"Uncle Fish?" Hai Liu's face was dazed.

"Boy, do you know that Ma De and Feiyanggu are iron buddies, and Sabu Su is a brother for stickers, don't you know Lao Tzu?" Yu Zhongyu asked.

"You...... You ......" A few people had already walked over at this time, and seeing a group of big men surrounding themselves in the middle, Hailiu felt like a little mouse who had walked into a cat's nest, and his tongue trembled.

"Okay, these guys are making trouble in the capital, intending to rob the people's daughters, so let's send them to Shuntian Mansion." Mo Jing saw that the people around him were gathering more and more, and he didn't like it, so he stepped forward and ordered. And since she had already given the order, Risong and the others who were in charge of the action knew what to do, and soon, the five splashes were taken away.

……

"Hehe, these boys are really unlucky, it's not good to pretend to be anyone, and they actually rushed to the edge of the knife by themselves, hahaha......" Yu Heng came with Yu Zhong, but he kept following behind. Most of the people in Shuntianfu are now transferred to maintain external order for the imperial examination, and he is now only followed by a deputy catcher of Shuntianfu, and he is also an old fritter who is over fifty years old, so he will not come out until everything is taken care of.

Tamama laughed. However, since that kid claims to be Ma De's cousin, please hand over that kid to the next question after Shuntianfu has punished these guys, and by the way, let Ma De recognize it and see if this guy is his eldest nephew...... Lord Jade, you must be accommodating! Yu Zhong arched his hand to Yu Heng and said with a smile.

"Alas, what are you talking about, Lord Yu? Are we still polite to each other? ......" Yu Heng feigned displeasure.

"Then it's tiring."

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say......"

……

Yu Zhong and Yu Heng were talking there, and Mo Jing and Luo Xin walked towards the pair of grandchildren who were singing. The old man's body was not bad, and he had shed so much blood, but he still stood up with the help of the little girl.

"Are you okay, old man?" Luo Xin looked at the old man and asked with concern. At the same time, she also took out a handkerchief and handed it to the little girl to help the old man cover the wound on his head.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you for your concern!" The old man leaned over and thanked him. Luo Xin and Mo Jing did not deliberately dress up, they could see at a glance that they were women, but whether it was the shopkeeper of the teahouse or the grandchildren of the singers, they all lived outside all the year round, and when they saw them wearing men's clothes, they naturally called them "sons". However, now that Luo Xin's people have saved the old man and the little girl, if they call "Childe" again at this time, it will inevitably be a little too much, so the old man directly calls Luo Xin "Miss".

"It's okay, I see that the wound on your head is not small, let's go find a medical hall to take a look......" Luo Xin didn't ask Hai Liu why he was bothering them, from the conversation she heard just now, she could already conclude that it was purely Hai Liu's gang intending to rob them. However, although it was none of her business, she took out another ingot of silver and handed it over.

"Don't dare, don't dare," Seeing Luo Xin take out a large ingot of silver and hand it to himself, the old man waved his hand again and again in panic, and said, "The reward given by Miss is already very rich, and the little old man doesn't dare to ask for it anymore......"

"Don't you dare? Old fellow, you really don't dare to ask for it? ”

Just as the old man was pushing Luo Xin's money, a knife came out from behind and hit his neck.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Xin shouted, and Mo Yan, who had been with him, opened his eyes wide, and he also stared at the guy who was stabbing in the back. And the sudden incident here also attracted the attention of Yu Zhong and Yu Heng, who were close to him, and after seeing what happened, Yu Heng shouted loudly: "Hu Hai, what are you doing?" Don't put the knife down yet? ”

"My lord! I haven't asked clearly, this old man can't put it yet! Hu Hai, that is, the deputy head of the Shuntian Mansion that Yu Heng brought with him, did not obey Yu Heng's order, but instead brought the knife closer to the old man's neck. The little girl wanted to rush over and push him away, but Luo Xin, who felt that it was dangerous, hurriedly picked him up.

"What do you ask? Hu Zhutou, what's wrong with this old man? Mo Jing also walked around the overpass with Yu Heng for a long time, of course he knew what the name of this deputy catcher who suddenly became biao was called, and when he saw that the other party didn't even listen to the orders of his boss, he immediately asked.

"Hey, dude, Gege asked...... Did you say it yourself, or did I say it somebody? ......" Hu Hai didn't answer Mo Jing, but sneered at the old man who was holding the knife around his neck.

"This ...... This headcatcher, you let ...... What did the little old man say? The old man asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't pretend to be garlic with Lao Tzu. I Hu someone entered the industry at the age of eighteen, and has been a catcher for more than 30 years. Dude, you can't hide it from others, your hands are not simple......" Hu Hai shook his gray stubble and said hehe.

"Hands?" With Hu Hai's words, everyone turned their attention to the old man's hands that were covered with green tendons and were almost only skeletons.

"Brother, you are so old, you have been beaten, you kowtow so hard, and you have shed a lot of blood, and you still get up so fast, which shows that you have a solid foundation, but this is not like a simple old man who sings; In addition, your hands have thick and short fingers, black palms, and no nails have grown, which is similar to people who have practiced iron sand palms......" Hu Hai continued.

"Iron Sand Palm?" Luo Xin, Mo Jing and Yu Zhong all looked at each other, and they actually encountered such a stubble? Did you run into someone in the martial arts?

……

Standing in the middle, looking at the rows of numbered rooms on both sides, Ma De only felt that the summer sun was not so poisonous. …… He had chills.

Thinking that when he first entered the Tribute Academy, looking at the old cornices and arches above his head at the gate, imagining that he would become the "room teacher" of those students who had studied in the cold window for ten years, he was still a little proud in his heart for a while, and even figured out what the mood of these candidates would be at the moment. Is it the fear of an uncertain future, or the excitement of jumping over the dragon gate?

However, since he entered the examination supervision in charge of him, he felt "terrifying"!

Rows of birdcage-like rooms, separated by no more than a meter, each with airtight walls on three sides and completely open to the south, contain a wooden table that can be lifted and a plank that can be sat on. He asked the soldiers in the examination prison, and learned that when he went to bed at night, the candidates could put together two boards to make a bed. Moreover, in the few days of the exam, the candidates eat, drink, pull, spread, and sleep in this cell-like room, even if they want to give up and not take the exam, they have to stay for a long time!

"Who the hell is this trick? What good questions can be made in this environment? …… It seems that these candidates are really amazing, in the past, Lao Tzu was already annoyed when he only stayed in the examination room for an hour and a half during the college entrance examination, but they could last so long...... Capable man. Ma De thought that according to the regulations, he must also accompany these candidates to stay in this gloomy examination prison for several days, and his stomach was even more depressed, and he almost vomited.

"Damn, which guy, how do you detox as soon as you come up? Does this still make people live? Mader wailed silently. The place is not big, and any smell will immediately spread throughout the examination supervisor. Ma De, who had always been very popular with Luo Xin because of his more hygienic aspects, has now fallen into such a place...... He had already foreseen being kicked out of bed and kicked out of the room by Luo Xin because of the smell on him.

……

"Mr. Bai Jin, I'm glad to meet you!" Old man Fei arched his hand towards an old foreigner dressed in missionary clothes and smiled.

"Lord Fei, if you can, I hope you can call me a priest!" Bai Jin, also known as Bai Jin, the word Mingyuan, was a French missionary, born in Mangshi, France, and later joined the French Society of Jesus. After his mission to Europa, he was warmly welcomed by King Louis XIV of France in France, after which Bai Jin was selected by Louis XIV to send an envoy to China, and at the same time was ordered by the Jesuits to preach in China. Before his departure, he was awarded the title of "King's Mathematician" by Louis XIV and was elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences. He was accompanied by Hong Ruohan, Liu Ying, Tachar, Li Ming and Zhang Cheng from France to China. The group set sail from Brest and passed through Siam when Tashar was retained by the King of Siam. The other five arrived in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province last year and were incorporated into Beijing, where Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng were appreciated by Kangxi for their excellent language skills and profound scientific literacy, and were able to serve in the palace.

"Hahaha, you are indeed a devout believer, since you insist, okay...... Father, I am glad to be. Old man Fei bent down slightly, and stretched out a hand towards Bai Jin.

"God bless you, honorable Lord Ferdinand!" As if he was very happy that Old Man Fei greeted him with Western etiquette, Bai Jin drew a cross on his chest and stretched out his hand to shake Old Man Fei tightly.

"Did you know? Lord Ferdinand! …… If it weren't for the fact that your surname is the Manchu Hesheri clan, with the cultivation you have shown, I would have thought that you were a member of the Austrian royal family Ferdinand! The two sides sat down, and Bai Jin smiled at Old Man Fei again. (God knows if the ancestor of that unlucky Archduke Ferdinand became Emperor of Austria at this time, that's it.) )

"Ferdinand? Ferdinand? …… This is really a coincidence, just because he was born in the south of Dihua City, he actually got involved with the Austrian royal family! ......" Old man Fei was secretly proud, but after remembering the fuse of a certain World War I, his pride immediately disappeared cleanly, "Bah, how could Lao Tzu have the same name as that unlucky guy?" According to the transliteration, Ferdinand can also be translated into Ferdinand's. As a result, Old Man Fei's "impression" of Bai Jin was very bad.
