Chapter 2 The Postmodern World of Martial Arts
After the little girl's description, Ye Kai finally barely figured out what was going on in this world.
The world was different from the one he had depicted in the novels he had read before.
To put it simply, this is a world where martial arts are respected, but practicing martial arts is not everything, there are still imperial examinations, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and talented and beautiful women. If you talk about it carefully, this world is somewhat similar to the rivers and lakes depicted by Jin seniors, but in this world, the rivers and lakes have changed from implicit to explicit.
The people in the martial arts have become the dominant ones in this world, and the leaders of the martial arts alliance have become the de facto leaders of the entire Central Plains, dominating the finances, military and diplomacy of the entire Wu Dynasty.
"The leader of the martial arts alliance is elected by the martial arts assembly, and every adult in the martial arts dynasty has the right to vote. The leader of the martial arts alliance is held every four years and has the right to appoint officials of the imperial court. The emperor was only the nominal head of the Wu dynasty, and could be hereditary, with only the right to set an era name, warnings, advice, and consultations. ”
"Isn't there also three political parties? Ye Kai was already speechless about this strange martial arts world, and he couldn't help but complain when he heard Su Su finish speaking.
Su Su's eyes rolled, and then he said: "Xianggong, are you talking about the three major sects of martial arts? Shaolin, Wudang and Dingjian Pavilion, each martial arts alliance leader will basically be produced from the three major factions. But sometimes there are other small sects that succeed in the election, such as the Donkey Kong Temple more than 100 years ago, and the Innocent Villa 60 years ago. I heard that more than 500 years ago, the Demon Sect was still a big sect in the martial arts, although there was no alliance leader, but it could occupy a lot of votes every time. It's just that after the Demon Rebellion in the Central Plains, the Martial Arts Conference officially removed the Demon Sect. ”
"Well, even the martial arts world has evolved into a constitutional monarchy. Ye Kai muttered.
"Xianggong, what are you talking about?" Su Su looked at Ye Kai with wide eyes.
"Oh, I still have an impression of Shaolin and Wu, but what kind of sect is this Ding Sword Pavilion, is it very powerful with a sword?" Ye Kai asked uncertainly.
Su Su nodded hurriedly.
"Of course, Dingjian Pavilion is the main sect on the rivers and lakes that is enough to stand with the two major factions of Shaolin Wudang, and the leader of this year's martial arts alliance is the head of Dingjian Pavilion. However, Ding Sword Pavilion is the name that has only been changed in recent years, it used to be called the Wuyue Sword School, which was formed by the merger of the five sword factions of Hengshan, Songshan, Huashan, Hengshan, and Taishan, and it was powerful enough to compete with the Demon Sect. ”
Hearing that Ye Kai of the Wuyue Sword Sect was suddenly stunned, he suddenly had a feeling that he had met the old man, and he asked with tears in his eyes: "Is it the head of the Ding Sword Pavilion whose surname is Linghu, and their strongest swordsmanship is called Dugu Nine Swords." Once, their ancestor had a story with the Demon Sect Holy Aunt that must be told?"
"Xianggong, you remember! That ancestor is called Ling Hu Chong, a very famous figure in the rivers and lakes, and his portrait will be hung on the top of the Yanyu Building every once in a while for the people to admire!"
"Damn!" Ye Kai leaned on the table, he felt that his mood was like the Qiantang River on August 18, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" the little girl patted Ye Kai's back and asked with concern.
Ye Kai raised his head and wiped the tears in his eyes.
"It's okay, but I suddenly remembered something, and I was a little excited. ”
"Xianggong, aren't you stupid?" the little girl said excitedly.
"What, have I ever been stupid? I just forgot, although I remember a little now, but it's not thoughtful, you still have to help me. Ye Kai knocked on Su Su's head and reprimanded.
Su Su was in pain, rubbed his snow-white forehead with his chubby little hands, and said aggrievedly: "Oh, Xianggong, what else do you haven't remembered?"
The little girl is so cute, Ye Kai felt a little unbearable, he stabilized his mind and asked seriously, "What's my name?"
"Your name is Ye Kai, Xianggong, you forgot about this!"
"How can this be forgotten, I'm just going to see if you still remember Xianggong's name!" Ye Kai said with a straight eyebrow.
"Oh......"
"Then where are we now, is it my home?" Ye Kai asked again. He was anxious to figure out where he was now, so most of the questions he asked were unpolished. But fortunately, Su Su, a girl, doesn't have so many eyes, and Ye Kai is not worried that her problem will arouse her suspicions.
"No, it's in my house now, Martial Arts Bureau. ”
"Got into it?"
"Sort of, Xianggong, you forgot, your family is gone. Su Su looked at Ye Kai and said with big eyes flickering.
"What does it mean to not have?" Ye Kai looked at Su Su blankly.
Su Su seemed to be extremely taboo about this question, and she hesitated for a long time before she said, "No...... It's just gone......"
Ye Kaimeng remembered the terrible voice when he had just crossed over, and said uncertainly: "So, my parents are dead?"
Su Su looked at Ye Kai and nodded slowly, looking at Ye Kai with big eyes with great concern, for fear that his father-in-law would not be able to think about it.
However, Su Su obviously thought too much, Ye Kai was stunned for a moment and then turned over the topic, compared to the pair of parents who had never met and had no impression, Ye Kai was obviously more concerned about his real situation.
"You just said your house is a dart game?"
"Hmm. Su Su nodded, not understanding why Xianggong suddenly changed the subject.
"The dart game is not big, how much silver can be converted into it. Do you have any other siblings, are they married?" Ye Kai asked a series of questions.
Su Su's big eyes blinked a few times, and then replied truthfully: "The dart game is very big, my father said that on the ground in Zhejiang Mansion, there are less than three dart boards that exceed my family's dart board! As for how many silver taels can be folded, I don't know......
"A provincial-level enterprise, this old man is very arrogant. Well, I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future!" Ye Kai muttered happily.
"Xianggong, what did you say?"
"Nothing, you continue!"
"Su Su has no other brothers, only one Sister Chu Chu, who is not married yet?
"Without brothers, this dart game will be mine in the future. Even if the one named Chu Chu gets married, I can still get half of the dart game!" Ye Xinghua thought excitedly, but his face made a look of concern, he pinched Su Su's pink and tender face, and said: "Silly girl, I will go to meet these relatives with you tomorrow, Xianggong can't let you be embarrassed." ”
Hearing Ye Kai's nonsense, Su Su narrowed his eyes happily and said sincerely: "Xianggong, you are so good." ”
"Of course, we will be grasshoppers on a rope in the future, can we be kind to you?" Ye Kai said to himself.
"That's right, Xianggong, we don't have a cave room yet!" Su Su suddenly remembered an important matter, hurriedly put the red cloth on his face, and then stumbled back to the bed, put his hands on his knees, and sat at the head of the bed in a proper manner.
Looking at the little girl's movements, Ye Kai's mouth opened wide.
"What are you doing?"
"Xianggong, you have to lift the hijab, if you lift the hijab, we will be husband and wife!" Su Su's expectant voice came from under the red cloth.
"Lift the hijab, husband and wife ......" Looking at the bride sitting at the head of the bed, Ye Kai suddenly realized where he was.
This is a cave room, and I'm now in a cave room with a little girl!
"Hurry up, Xianggong, what do you want?" Su Su urged, a pair of little red feet dangling impatiently under the skirt.
"Oh. Ye Kai was stunned for a moment, and walked to the head of the bed step by step. He didn't have a girlfriend before he crossed over, but now he is about to go to the cave after crossing over, which is a strange feeling.
Could it be that this little girl is the compensation that God has given me for so many years of being single!
He walked up to Susu and lifted his hijab.
At that moment, Su Su's snow-white little face was reflected in his mind, his eyebrows were crooked, his mouth was small, his smile was like a flower, his big eyes were extremely clear and staring at Ye Kai tightly, and his long eyelashes couldn't help but tremble. Against the backdrop of candlelight, it looks extremely beautiful and evokes reverie.
"Xianggong......" the little girl called softly.
"Hmm. Ye Kai was stunned and responded, touched the girl's hair, and then said slowly: "In the future, no matter whether we are rich or poor, we are really grasshoppers on a rope." ”
"Su Su and Xianggong will never be separated!" Su Su didn't know where he learned such a sentence, and suddenly popped up.
"Uh. Ye Kai's face was full of black lines.
"Huh, it's finally over, I'm too tired to wear these hairpin phoenix crowns on my head, Xianggong help me take them off. Su Su let out a sigh, feeling that he had finished his work, and hurriedly beckoned Ye Kai to help him remove his makeup.
The two of them were busy for a while, and then sat down at the head of the bed again.
What's next?
Although he knew what to do next, Ye Kai didn't know what to do. On the other hand, Su Su had already begun to undress.
"You, what are you going to do?" Ye Kai was startled and asked in horror.
"Sleep, it's so late, I have to get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts. Su Su took off the red wedding dress, revealing the plain white dress inside, she turned her head to look at Ye Kai, and asked with a pure face: "What else does Xianggong want to do?"
"It's nothing,......" Ye Kai replied embarrassedly, and then suddenly asked, "Susu, do you know what the cave room is?"
"You know, it's just two people sleeping together. ”
"Except for sleeping?"
"Except for sleeping...... Su Su touched his lips and looked up and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. Susu didn't know. ”
"Okay......" Ye Kai replied weakly, thinking that his father-in-law was really too irresponsible, how could he not do pre-war training before marrying his daughter, which made him so embarrassed now.
On the other side, Su Su pulled out a red quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water at the head of the bed, took off the plain white long skirt, and only left a red belly pocket, and slipped under the quilt like a small loach.
Damn, what are you doing so fast, I haven't seen anything clearly!Ye Kai wailed in his heart.
Su Su covered her whole body under the quilt, only one head was exposed, and her face turned into a red cloth with shame.
"Xianggong, you can sleep too. Susu left you a place for you to sleep outside. ”
"Oh. Ye Kaimumu took off his clothes, blew out the candles, and then climbed onto the bed. Along the way, I was entangled in how to instill knowledge about the cave room with the little girl, and I didn't pay attention and hit the bed frame with a bang.
"Xianggong, are you okay? In the dark corner, Su Surourou's voice rang out.
"It's fine. Ye Kai grinned and rubbed his forehead, lifted the quilt and got in. In the dark, everything was quiet, and after a while, the sound of the little girl's even breathing came from her side.
Ye Kai turned his head sideways and looked at Su Su's quiet little face by the moonlight, and suddenly felt a trance in his heart.
"This crosses the ......"
Outside the house at this time, the large courtyard of Sanjin was full of cups and plates, lanterns were hung high, the servants were busy cleaning up the yard, the housekeeper was shouting with his stomach up, and the guests were playing cards or listening to songs. The horses in the stables were busy eating the night grass, and the sky was sparsely populated.
On the ridge of the house, the tiles are gently closed. Two voices rang out in the darkness, one hoarse and the other crisp.
"I haven't died after eating Broken Gut San, but it's also a big life. ”
"For the sake of him not doing anything deviant, let him live a few more days for the time being. ”
