Chapter 176: Both civil and military
Round head - in fact, this person's face is not round, but the fat on the face is full of meat, and a large extra piece horizontally will naturally be round.
The round body and overly bloated figure made his height that was not short completely ignored, if it weren't for this person who came to him, he would have been a short man from afar.
"Li Xiaoyao?"
Asked again uncertainly, Ye Wen felt that his forehead was sweating: "I'm going to go, I thought my own behavior was enough to spoof, but I didn't expect this world to be much more ferocious than me! This guy has to run for at least three hundred pounds, right?
That Li Xiaoyao smiled, and patted Ye Wen's shoulder with a fan-like fat hand: "It's all your own brothers, just call me Xiaoyao!
After speaking, he didn't care about Ye Wen's eyeballs that were about to fall out, and explained to himself: "Originally, my mother gave me such a name in the hope that I could live happily in this life, but I didn't think that I would fall into the middle of the family not long after I was born, and even my father died of depression, leaving such a little asset, relying on my cousin's family to help open such a restaurant!"
"I'm good at eating when I'm young, so I like to go to the kitchen from time to time to find something to eat, and my mother changed my nickname to a big mouth in a fit of anger!" Haha laughed for a while: "But now no one cares about me, our dishes in this full building are all made by me, and no one eats as early as me!"
Restaurant chefs have such a habit, when a dish comes out, the chef in charge must take a bite first, one is to see how the dish is done, and the other is to satisfy hunger - it is said that there is no gluttony when a chef is not greedy.
It's just that Ye Wen secretly said in his heart: "Estimate the title of this buddy, it's also because this mouth talks endlessly!"
Ye Wen didn't know where to find a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and laughed dryly: "Hello, hello, fortunately!"
"You're polite! Since you're here, you're a friend, and we still have the habit of eating the food here? Do you need to have a few more dishes? Let me tell you, my craft is also famous in the capital, how many princes and nobles have come to our full building, isn't it just to eat my cooking!"
walked all the way to Ye Wen's table, chattering endlessly, the relationship was still a self-acquaintance, and it was only after sitting down that he remembered: "Oh, look at my head, haven't you asked your brother's surname?"
"In Xia Ye Wen!"
Ye Wen...... At first glance, he is a scholar, but he is also here to participate in the palace examination!"
This time, it was not Ye Wen who answered him, but Lin Pingzhi, the cousin who was in charge of the chef, opened his mouth: "Cousin, what kind of head are you?
Li Xiaoyao wiped his sweat: "Where can I look? I was busy in the kitchen just now, and I wondered where these bastards had gone? I didn't even have a helper, and I ran to see Zhuang Yuanlang with feelings! I didn't know how to call me!" After speaking, he poured himself a sip of wine: "Deduct their money and let them sneak away!"
Ye Wen's consciousness of this person can be regarded as admiring the five-body cast, and Lin Pingzhi's vote buddy is accustomed to it, and when he sees his indignation, he makes fun of it: "Whether the money is deducted or not seems to be in your hands, right?"
Li Xiaoyao was topped like this, and his face was a little unbearable. He didn't care if it was still these people, but there was still Ye Wen, a new 'friend' sitting next to him, who felt a little embarrassed, and said forcefully: "Why can't you be the master?
Another humane: "I heard that Aunt Li wants to invite a shopkeeper to come, but she still lets you be a cook!"
"Who said that? Which guy said it? Why should I let an outsider be the shopkeeper of my Li family......'s restaurant?
A few sons and this Li Xiaoyao said happily on the left and on the right, only that Lin Pingzhi came over and said to Ye Wen: "I don't know if Brother Ye and the new champion are ......."
When he saw Zhuang Yuanlang talking to this and calling him senior brother, he was extremely surprised, and even Brother Fang was surprised inexplicably, and said, "Could it be that this young man is a civil and military all-rounder?"
But these people all thought that Ye Wen and Xu Xian were brothers who had studied in the same academy, and they didn't think about kung fu anyway. After all, Xu Xian also coughed from time to time while riding on the horse, although it was not very obvious, but this practitioner still saw that it was a hidden disease, and he was so sick that he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all.
Ye Wen also guessed what these two people thought, so he said: "That champion is also a member of this sect, because he started later than me, so he is a junior brother!"
"That champion can also do martial arts?" Lin Pingzhi's eyes widened, this is the one in front of him, and it turns out that the real civil and military talent is the champion Lang who has just ridden over.
According to what his eldest brother said, the martial arts of the person in front of him are very strong, so even if his junior brother is weaker, he should be limited. And the literary talent is enough to be the top student in the examination, coupled with such a handsome appearance, he is definitely a rare handsome man in the world.
Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Ye's junior brother, I'm afraid that some of these people are busy!"
"Why?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "This champion Lang is all talented and good-looking, plus winning the champion, it is inevitable to enter the court, I don't know how many people are staring at this position, just looking forward to being able to contact some relationships!
Ye Wen was not much, but Huang Rongrong next to her had a change in face, and she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back again.
I only listened to Lin Ping's way: "I just remembered this, it seems that my father also sent someone to the street today, to see if the champion is not in line with his wishes, if it is good, then ......"
"So what?"
Lin Pingzhi scratched his head: "I guess I want to help my sister's family affairs be solved!"
"Oh, you have a sister?"
Lin Pingzhi was not much, but Li Xiaoyao, who had been talking next to him, suddenly shuddered, turned his head and said to Ye Wen: "Brother Ye, brother advise, don't ask more about my cousin!"
Ye Wen was even more interested in this, and wondered, "What?"
Li Xiaoyao saw that Ye Wen had to ask, so he spoke: "That's a famous ...... in the capital Forehead...... The ...... thought about it, and looked at the people around him, all of whom looked at him with a wicked smile, as if to know what he thought of his cousin.
Even Lin Pingzhi is the same, it is estimated that this Li Xiaoyao is useless in a word, and he can sue him when he turns around, making him suffer a lot.
Looking left and right, Li Xiaoyao was ruthless, and directly shook off: "In short, it's very fierce, ordinary men can't stand it! I see my cousin now taking a detour and never meeting her!"
"Who told you to always speak ill of her!" Lin Pingzhi knew the most, so he interjected with a smile: "Or cousin, you have been thinking about my sister, so you always speak ill of her behind your back, so that she can't get married?"
Li Xiaoyao looked bitter: "Why did I say bad things about her so that she couldn't get married? Just rely on her temper, if anyone doesn't like the eye, she will whip it directly, and who dares to marry?" Speaking of this, he was full of excitement, and then looked left and right, and didn't see the person he just thought of in his heart, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ye Wen: "In short, Brother Ye had better stay away from my cousin, so as not to hurt you!"
Ye Wen just touched his nose and thought it was funny, while the people in Shushan just thought it was funny, and secretly said that with his own master's kung fu, it is not certain who will hurt whom!
A group of people chatted and simply joined a table to eat and drink, and the chef Li Xiaoyao went downstairs to cook a few dishes, and then brought them back himself-because most of the dishes on the table just now had been lost by his efforts for a while.
Ye Wen is eating here, and Xu Xian is also eating over there.
It's just that his meal is really not comfortable, although the imperial banquet in this imperial city is exquisite, the wine is fragrant, and the people around are all young and beautiful palace maids, making people think that they have arrived in a fairyland. But when it comes to actually eating, it's definitely a chore.
First of all, this seat is painful, not that this seat is uncomfortable, but the person sitting on it can't sit like he usually sits at home, and even the brother who is farthest away from the emperor just puts his ass on the chair, not to mention Xu Xian, who is under the emperor's nose.
"What a sin!" Then he glanced at the group of fellow jinshi around him angrily, and secretly scolded: "Lao Tzu released water, you can't get the top prize, so you can't be a little angry?"
At the same time, after tossing for a day, the belly was already empty, but although the dishes in front of him were full of aroma, they did not dare to move the chopsticks easily, so only when the emperor raised their glasses, the new scholars in the hall dared to raise their wine glasses and pour some water and wine into their stomachs. As for the dish, no one dared to touch it.
After a few glasses of wine, Xu Xian only felt that his stomach was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and he was in a hurry to drink just now, choked, and even took his own cough, and coughed violently for a while.
This attracted the eyes of the whole hall, and even the emperor Wei Hong asked: "Xu Qing's body is not very strong, but the road to the exam is too urgent?"
He saw that Xu Xian was slender, and he was not as thin as some scribes who studied hard, Ben Dao was a person in good health, and he didn't want to cough for a day, but it didn't get better. It's just that he didn't think about it deeply, but he said that these words changed the sky, and he was infected with a cold on the way here.
Xu Xian replied: "The cough of the minister has been taken care of for many years, not a newly infected disease!"
"Oh?" When Wei Hong heard this, he knew that Xu Xian's illness was not an overnight thing, and he liked Xu Xian's answer sheet quite a lot, so he only thought that this was his future minister of the humerus, so he cared: "Have you ever sought medical treatment?"
"I have been diagnosed and treated, but I need to recuperate slowly, and I will be able to recover in about three or five years!"
As soon as he said this, everyone knew that Xu Xian's illness was so bad, and it would take three or five years to recuperate, and he had been recuperating for a while.
"What kind of illness is it?" secretly wondered in his heart, and at the same time, someone secretly said: "Why didn't you die of illness directly?"
When Wei Hong heard that it would take three or five years, he knew that this disease was not very easy to treat, but as the emperor, not only did he eat the best, women were the best, and even the doctor was the best, so he said: "What kind of disease should be recuperated for three or five years?
After speaking, he didn't need to ask Xu Xian's opinion, and said directly to the little eunuch waiting beside him: "Go and call Imperial Doctor Chen!"
The little eunuch responded, and then ran away without a shadow, the emperor explained the matter, this eunuch did not dare not do it tightly, it is estimated that after the eunuch came out of this hall, he ran even faster, because after a while, the little eunuch returned to the palace, followed by an old man about sixty years old, with gray hair and beard.
When Wei Hong saw that the imperial doctor was coming, he didn't want him to salute, so he pointed directly at Xu Xian and said: "This is Xu Xian, the champion of the new department, who is suffering from a cough, Chen Aiqing will show him, but what is the way to diagnose and treat him?"
Doctor Chen answered yes, and then came to Xu Xian, first looked at his face, and when Doctor Chen, who didn't care too much, saw Xu Xian's face, he immediately said, 'Huh?'.
Then he immediately grabbed Xu Xian's wrist and took the pulse, and at the same time, his face was solemn, and he kept looking at Xu Xian's facial features and neck and other places. After waiting for a while, Dr. Chen said 'Huh?' again.
His two voices not only made everyone in the palace inexplicable, but even Emperor Wei Hong was a little confused. He had the impression that this Imperial Physician Chen had superb medical skills, and he was not surprised, and he always looked calm, it was very rare to be able to make him show a shock, and he only saw Xu Xian for a moment today, and he actually let out a sound of surprise one after another.
"Imperial Doctor Chen, what is the illness of Xu Qing's family?"
At this time, Imperial Physician Chen had already put down Xu Xian's wrist, and then looked up and down a few more times, and the emperor asked, and immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, Zhuang Yuanlang's illness is a strange disease, and it can't be cured by medicinal stones!"
"What?"
Imperial Physician Chen didn't see Wei Hong's face change drastically, but continued: "Zhuang Yuanlang's illness is because a strong cold air invaded his lungs and then injured his lungs, which caused Zhuang Yuanlang to cough from time to time. This cold air is so strong, Wei Chen has never seen it in his life, he is really helpless!"
Speaking of this, Wei Hong's face was even worse, and he only said that the virtuous minister who was finally found would go west without saying anything, and he naturally couldn't get up in his heart, and he only said that God wouldn't help him.
It's just that Imperial Physician Chen lowered his head, but he couldn't see that the emperor's face was getting worse and worse, and he still kept talking: "But the champion Lang Ji people have their own natural appearance, and I don't know where I learned the superb qi training method, which just happens to be able to restrain that cold qi, plus the champion Lang's qi practice kung fu has already made some achievements, and it won't be long before the cold qi will disappear by itself!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Hong only felt that his heart had risen from the bottom of the valley again, and he hurriedly asked: "So, Xu Qing's family will be fine? Do you think the cold qi will suddenly recur?" As an emperor, Wei Hong can also learn some qi cultivation methods, but he is busy with government affairs and is difficult to improve, so his cultivation is limited. In addition, he stayed in the imperial city all day, and he didn't have much knowledge in martial arts, so at most he understood that it was not a good thing for external qi to enter the body.
Imperial Physician Chen said: "With the strength of Zhuang Yuanlang's internal qi, only he can dissolve the cold qi, and that cold qi is absolutely difficult to fight back!"
Speaking of this, he turned his head to Xu Xian and said: "I don't want the new champion to be an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, the old man congratulates the emperor on this great talent!"
It wasn't until this time that Wei Hong reacted, this Xu Xian knows how to practice qi, that is, he knows how to know advanced internal kung fu! Imperial Physician Chen's congratulations, the mood that had already risen back to the original place was raised again.
"I didn't expect Xu Qing's family to know martial arts, he is really a hero!"
Wei Hong saw that Xu Xian was about the same age as himself, and he didn't care too much about his kung fu skills, but he was about the same as himself, or even inferior - after he learned martial arts, those who taught him naturally welcomed him in every way, and he only said that he was a wizard who practiced martial arts. But I don't know how much higher the kung fu in front of me is than him.
"It's just that I learned a little trick, which made the emperor laugh!"
Xu Xian was polite here, but the other Jinshi next to him became more and more planned, and said secretly: "I don't know where I learned some three-legged cat styles, and it is known as both civil and military, I'm sorry!"
This group of people is jealous in their hearts, and a few people who have a better temperament are not visible, but many people can't hide their thoughts, how sharp Xu Xian's eyes are? It's just that he secretly pretends that he is not messing around in the officialdom, so naturally he doesn't care, and when the emperor talks to him, he also calmly responds.
As a result, Wei Hong saw that Xu Xian spoke calmly, and he became more and more extraordinary, and he was even more happy with him in his heart, so he only said that his ancestors and ancestors had sent him an arm to rely on, so he would always call Xu Xian when he spoke. Although he didn't snub others, he made those who didn't like Xu Xian more and more resentful.
After talking for a while, Wei Hong suddenly remembered that when he was learning kung fu, he also heard the guards talk about things in the rivers and lakes today, and it seemed that there were many sects, so he asked curiously: "I don't know what school and sect of qigong practice Xu Qing's family learned?"
Xu Xian said: "It is a sect in the minister's hometown, called the Shushan faction!
Wei Hong only said that he was a small family, but he was worried that it was Xu Xian's teacher, and Xu Xian was the young man he valued the most, so he said: "I think that the one who can teach that kind of advanced qi cultivation method is also a great faction of the rivers and lakes!" This is his own speculation, after all, Imperial Doctor Chen said that the cold qi in Xu Xian's body cannot be cured by medicinal stones, which proves that this cold qi is very strong. And the technique that Xu Xian learned can cure him, and it must be a very precious and profound internal skill.
I thought about it in my heart, but because Xu Xian was infected with such a strange disease, he would worship the Shushan faction to learn internal skills to save himself, but he didn't know that Xu Xian's disease was contracted after entering the Shushan faction.
"I don't know who the Venerable Master is?"
I was wondering if I had heard of any master, but I heard Xu Xian speak: "The head of our faction is Senior Brother Weichen, and Weichen is the sect that Senior Brother accepted apprentices on behalf of the senior brother, so this body of kung fu is taught by Senior Brother!"
"Oh?"
P.S: I'm dizzy with diarrhea...... The release was late.
