Don't go back to hometown

Xie Cheng had seen Jiang Xianyu spar with Xu Jing, just as Li Mingya said, Xu Jing is a bit of a martial idiot, he is proficient in martial arts, and his skills are comparable to Jiang Xianyu.

Now against Shang Duan Yu, winning is effortless.

To Xie Cheng's surprise, half a year had passed since the Wuju provincial examination, and Duan Yu's kung fu hadn't improved at all.I don't know if it was because he was really slack in practicing martial arts, or because the occasion like today made him perform abnormally.

In short, under Xu Jing's hands, Duan Yu could not move more than a hundred moves before he was picked out of the sword in his hand and thrust into the throat by a long spear.

The audience was indifferent, Emperor Wen Qing's face was livid, he didn't know whether he was furious at Wu Huiyuan's flamboyant fists and embroidered legs, or he blamed Xu Jing for not being flexible and not properly covering up such an embarrassing scene.

Duan Yu panted heavily, looked at the point of the gun reaching his neck, clenched his fists sullenly, his whole body was swallowed up by shame and shame, he didn't even dare to look at Emperor Wenqing and King Zhong who were sitting on top of the high rank .

King Zhong's face darkened, and he squeezed the armrest of the chair tightly.

Xu Jing retracted his gun, bowed his hands in a salute neither humble nor overbearing: "Concession."

clap clap clap-

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause above the high steps.It can be heard that the applauding people are working hard, but the sound echoing in the entire square is too weak.

Everyone looked up to the high level one after another, wanting to see who was so bold.

The person who applauded was the "little maid" standing behind Prince Rui, Xu Jing met the eyes of the "little maid" and immediately laughed.

It was Li Mingya dressed as a court lady.

Xie Cheng couldn't help laughing, in such a scene, only she dared to applaud Xu Jing.

The sight that Emperor Wenqing glanced over with a cold face turned into helplessness when he saw clearly that it was his beloved granddaughter——Is Xu Jing her fiancé, or Emperor Wenqing chose him for the little girl, and he couldn't find it for a while There is no reason to blame her.

Li Mingya did not evade, she winked playfully at Emperor Wenqing, clapped her hands vigorously, and even elbowed Prince Rui.

Prince Rui looked as if he couldn't help her, and applauded accordingly.Xu Jing's grandfather and father followed closely behind.

With these people taking the lead, the Forbidden Army and the Gyeonggi Guards below, who dared not move because of Emperor Wenqing's face, immediately cheered loudly, their momentum soaring, and they were unstoppable.

The Wugong soldiers all looked ugly, and lost a lot in terms of momentum.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Li Mingya, who was above the high rank with a bright smile, and tightly clenched the sword in his hand.

In her previous life, she also cheered for him like this, with all her heart and eyes full of him...

Ren Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Jing, unwillingness and jealousy welled up in his heart, subconsciously took half a step forward - he wanted to compete with Xu Jing!

"What are you doing?" The second-ranked Wugong warrior was Jie Yuan from Southeast Province. He turned to glance at him and warned in a low voice, "You want everyone to know that you are stronger than Duan Yu?"

Ren Xiaoyao paused, gritted his teeth and clenched the sword in his hand, and retreated unwillingly.

One wrong step, one wrong step, he and Li Mingya are destined to have no results.

Afterwards, the Imperial Army and Gyeonggi Guards sent people to challenge the top ten Wugong soldiers respectively, winning and losing half and half, and the scene was not as ugly as before.

But Emperor Wenqing had completely lost interest, and his face became more and more ugly.

When he was young, he was also a horseback hero with great martial arts. He could tell at a glance that many of the top ten Wugong warriors were better than Duan Yu. Sit in the seat of Wu Huiyuan.

There is obviously something wrong with this martial arts.

But if this matter is revealed at this time in front of civil and military officials and civil and military tributes, all this will surely become the biggest failure of his eighteen years as the throne.

"Call the name." Emperor Wen Qing suppressed his anger and ordered the Minister of Rites.

"Wait a minute!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites just signaled the officials in charge of the roll call to come forward, but was interrupted by Xu Yushi.

"The minister has a book to play." Xu Yushi stood in front of Emperor Wen Qing, ignored his livid face, and said calmly: "The family of the loyal king's side concubine——Jinling Duan's family ran across the south of the Yangtze River and occupied 230 households of land. A total of more than [-] acres—”

Emperor Wenqing stood up suddenly, breathing heavily, his chest heaving uncontrollably, and looked at King Zhong angrily.

King Zhong was startled, and immediately knelt down in front of him: "My son is wronged! Please enlighten my father!"

Hundreds of officials were in an uproar, civil and military officials were stunned, and Xu Yushi continued to play without delay: "The Duan family collected [-]% of the rent and hoarded tens of thousands of dans of grain, leaving tens of thousands of victims of the snow disaster in the south of the Yangtze River without food. check!"

"Xu Yushi!" Zhong Wanghong scolded angrily, "I think I have no grievances with you, so why did you spit me out?!"

Fang Zhizhou made an expression of disbelief: "This... After the snow disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, the Duan family was persuaded by His Highness King Yi to donate 10 taels of silver for post-disaster reconstruction, how could they do such a shocking thing? !"

It was fine if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, everyone began to suspect, if it wasn't for exploiting the people, how could they donate 10 taels of silver so happily?

Xu Yushi took out the memorial from his sleeve, with a thick stack of paper sandwiched between it: "I have account books as proof, please check thoroughly, Your Majesty!"

Fang Zhizhou hurriedly knelt down and confessed: "Your Majesty, please punish the crime. I have neglected to observe, and served as the governor of Jiangnan for more than a year, but I failed to notice the crimes of the Duan family! I am guilty, please punish the crime."

Xu Yushi hadn't finished attending yet, so he continued: "In addition, Duan Yu, a martial artist from the Duan family in Jinling, is suspected of cheating by bribery of his fellow candidates.

Duan Yu's face was already pale, and he looked at the loyal king who was above the high rank in panic.It's a pity that King Zhong couldn't protect himself, so he didn't even give him a look.

The martial arts examiners looked at each other and knelt in front of Emperor Wenqing together: "Your Majesty, please appease your anger."

Emperor Wenqing was so angry that his breath became short of breath, his eyes turned black, and he staggered and fell backward.

"Your Majesty!" The chief eunuch immediately rushed up to support him.

All the officials knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body!"

The civil and military tributes, imperial guards, and Jingji guards in the field also knelt down, while Duan Yu was still standing in a daze, and was dragged by Ren Xiaoyao before he staggered and knelt down.

Xie Cheng lowered his head and suppressed a yawn, thinking that today's drama should almost come to an end.

Above the high ranks, Emperor Wenqing panted and summoned the Minister of Rites, directly crossed Duan Yu's name off the list of Wu Jinshi, and said sharply: "Sing the list!"

The Minister of Rites immediately understood, moved up the ranks of all the other Wugong scholars, and quickly finished singing the martial arts list.

"Xie Yancheng" was "a blessing in disguise" and became Wu Tanhua.

It's just that these newly promoted Wu Jinshi didn't show any joy on their faces, and they all knelt down and thanked each other tremblingly.

Followed by Wen Jubang.The Minister of Rites first sang the second and third places, and Duan Shuwen and Xie Cheng's classmates were all in the second place.

Xie Cheng hadn't heard his own name all this time, so Xie Cheng probably had a bottom line in his mind.

In the end, it was the turn of the first-ranked Jinshi. He only listened to the Minister of Rites singing Tan Hua and No. [-], and finally said: "Yangzhou Xie Cheng, bestow the champion and rank."

Xie Cheng was not surprised, and calmly went out to salute: "Thank you for your majesty's grace."

Emperor Wenqing's face was as cold as water, and he simply forgot to encourage all Jinshi, got up and left with his sleeves thrown.

……

Xie Jialang Yuzhai has a shop on the main street of the capital. Jiang Xianyu and Xie Sangrou took their three children in the private room on the second floor, waiting for the champion to parade the street.

It wasn't until near noon that Shimo ran upstairs in a hurry.

"It's coming! It's out of Xuanwumen!"

Jiang Xianyu immediately hugged the little glutinous rice balls and squeezed to the window, looking out eagerly.

Xie Sangrou couldn't help reminding with a smile: "It's still a while away."

Jiang Xianyu smiled embarrassedly, but still did not leave the window.

After waiting for another stick of incense, I finally heard the sound of the guard of honor blowing and beating.

Xie Cheng's figure appeared at the head of the team.He was dressed in the red robe of the number one scholar, with handsome features and high spirits.

There was a lot of voices on both sides of the street, everyone looked at Xie Cheng and sighed.

"This year's No. [-] scholar is so handsome!"

"Yeah, she looks quite young. I don't know if she's married yet."

Jiang Xianyu watched Xie Cheng's team approach, put his thumb and index finger in his mouth, and whistled loudly.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Jiang Xianyu waved to Xie Cheng with a bright smile, then bowed his head and said something to the little glutinous rice balls in his arms.

Xiao Tangyuan immediately waved her arms towards Xie Cheng and shouted loudly, "Daddy!"

Xie Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, and waved at Jiang Xianyu and the little guy uncommonly.

The shopkeeper of Langyuzhai quickly lit the firecrackers hanging by the door, and led the staff to shout loudly: "Hexi Shaodong's high school!"

"Is this Zhuangyuan Lang the young owner of Langyuzhai? He looks even more handsome when he smiles!"

"Don't worry about it, his son is already this old, your daughter is useless!"

"Damn! Even if you don't get married, you still have to marry a girl from a high family, a girl like a fairy, who will get my girl!"

Jiang Xianyu was upstairs in a trance when he heard this sentence, the corners of his mouth puckered, and he disappeared by the window with the little glutinous rice balls in his arms.

Xie Cheng couldn't help frowning, but had no choice but to move forward with the team.

Suddenly a sachet was thrown from the window, and it flew towards Xie Cheng as if it had eyes.

Xie Cheng stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he saw the two koi carp with their tails on the sachet, he immediately smiled.

I don't know how the boy embroidered it behind his back, even though the stitches were clumsy and rough, Xie Cheng still hung it around his waist.

Someone in the crowd booed and asked loudly, "Is it embroidered by Mrs. Zhuangyuan?"

Xie Cheng smiled towards the other side: "It's him."

When Jiang Xianyu upstairs heard it, he blushed and stared out the window.

When they were young and ignorant in the previous life, they almost got into a fight over a small sachet.

At that time, Jiang Xianyu was just fifteen years old, his stature was between that of a handsome boy and that of a grown man, and his heroic demeanor attracted attention.

Suddenly one day, a little girl secretly stuffed him with a sachet.

The young man proudly showed off the sachet to Xie Cheng: "Look, the embroidery is quite nice."

Xie Cheng glanced with a straight face: "Ugly."

The young man immediately puffed up his face and glared at him: "Don't be so proud of yourself! You are the ugly ones in recycling! Everyone is ugly!"

Xie Cheng frowned: "I didn't say those are pretty."

The young man glanced at his waist, and indeed he did not see him wearing those, and his unhappiness suddenly eased.While twirling the sachet on his finger, he asked him, "You don't wear it if it doesn't look good?"

Xie Cheng stared at the sachet on his finger and felt that it was particularly obtrusive, so he reached out and grabbed it and threw it into the wastebasket beside the desk, "I don't like other girls, why should I wear it?"

The boy hurried over to pick it up: "What are you doing?! Don't throw mine away if you don't like it! This is the first sachet I received!"

"You like it?" Xie Cheng frowned and asked him.

The young man patted the dust on the sachet: "It's really pretty! Look here, besides orchids, there is also a small sword embroidered on it, which shows that she understands me!"

"No fish or fish!" Xie Cheng criticized.

The boy glared at him, and stuffed the sachet into his sleeve: "I just like it! It's because you have no vision!"

Xie Cheng frowned tightly, and unconsciously tightened his index finger with his thumb.He knew that if he continued talking, the boy would definitely get angry and get awkward, and break up with him.But he really felt that the sachet was ugly and not worthy of a boy at all.

After a long silence, Xie Cheng said: "If you like it, why not learn to embroider yourself, you can ask sister to teach you, you can learn any pattern you want."

The young man was slightly surprised, and looked at him strangely: "I'm sick, why should I learn this?"

Xie Cheng picked up the teacup to hide his awkwardness: "You can give it to me when you finish the embroidery, even if the embroidery is not very good, I don't dislike it. Well, it's like you don't dislike the jade I carved before."

"Get lost!" The young man scolded him with a smile, and raised his index finger and middle finger to make a sword move, "Master's hands can only use swords, but not embroidery. I have to learn from you!"

Later, the teenager couldn't do his homework, so he asked Xie Cheng for help. Xie Cheng took advantage of the fire and asked him to embroider a sachet for himself.

The boy pointed at him angrily: "Okay! Just wait! I will embroider it for you tomorrow!"

"You can?"

"Why not? Help me write my homework!"

"I can write it for you, but you won't renege on your debt, will you?"

"Whoever reneges on his debts is a good grandson!"

That night, the boy fiddled with the embroidery needle for a long time, then threw the needle and thread away angrily: "It's so annoying!"

Xie Cheng grabbed his hand and saw that eight out of ten fingers were poked to death, and he was never willing to let him touch the needle and thread again.

In this life, I don't know that the young man poked a few fingers behind his back, and even kept hiding from him.

If you really want to invite relatives, you owe "cleaning up".
