Chapter 239 Dark Tide
Shuiyan listened to Shuilian's words, glanced at Li Xiaoyao and smiled, "The hollow ear is facing the sky. You may not know that the real poetry is exquisite with her every day." Li Xiaoyao glanced at the Guo family stand opposite to follow Shui Tong and Shuilian's words, and gave an absent-minded 'um'. He only looked at the examiner stand in front of him. In the stand, the examiners were humbly giving way to each other and were walking to the stage. Guo Minda, the Marquis of Ningyi, followed closely behind him were the Ministry of Ceremonies, the Secretary of the Ministry of War and the two. Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly as the general who was awarded the title of protectorate. How did he let Guo Minda do this main exam? He was a literati and did not know kung fu. On the other side of the table, Su Ziyi and Lv Hua came up together laughing. Su Zicheng took Su Zixin behind him. Guo Minda hurriedly took the crowd to salute, bowed and looked down at the Su brothers and Lv Hua and others sitting on the left side of the table, and then sat down in the middle of the chairs with the examination. Up.
Li Xiaoyao breathed a gentle sigh of relief. With the pressure of these two brothers, in fact, it doesn't matter who is the chief examiner. For a while, she has come to avoid suspicion of martial arts, and on the other hand, she hasn't asked Su Zicheng much about anything else. Even here in Shuiyan, she doesn't ask much about this matter who will be the martial arts examiner until now.
A few loud net whips sounded under the stage. After a horn, the martial arts test officially began. The first riding and shooting and walking shooting are normal, and they have passed two games. Naturally, the riding and shooting are all passed. In the second game, the field is extremely lively. The people of Beiping are still martial arts, and they are watching each other in the shed. The outside of the fence for civilians to watch the martial arts test was full of good people. They were all excited and applauded for the martial arts that they saw, or applause and booed, cheers and scolded one after another, which was very lively for a moment.
Li Xiaoyao watched the fight in the field with great interest. Those martial artists formed a team, set up, and then went to fight alone. Wei Shuisheng was the best among a group of people. Li Xiaoyao quietly glanced at the bright shining eyes, his face turned red, and the forgotten water lotus, shook the folding fan, and leisurely. , watching the lively fight, this martial arts test is very satisfying both inside and outside the court.
After several exams, the number of people in this martial arts test was not too many. More than two hours later, the dust of the martial arts test was settled. Wei Shuisheng's riding, step shooting, knife and horse array were excellent. Seeing that he must be at the top, Li Xiaoyao was secretly relieved and discussed with Shuiyan to pick people. He turned around and Shuitong and Shuilian. Drinking tea, eating snacks, talking and laughing about the martial arts test just now.
Looking at the shed in the distance, everyone looked at the bustle from afar. They really couldn't see which one or which. Mrs. Jia took up her skirt and rushed upstairs with a happy face to report: "Grandma and girls, our second master can almost win the first few. It's really majestic!" Everyone was full of joy. Yueting squeezed beside Mrs. Fan and looked forward with regret, "Oh, it would be great if I could take a closer look!"
"No! At this time, if the old lady could say a favor to the second master, the second master would be more happy and moved! Our five girls looked at the shed in front of Prince Liang. I saw it from afar. I heard that the seventh wife of the Shui family and a grandmother are also there. The aunt is not familiar with the seventh wife of the Shui family. It's better to say hello. This is also our etiquette. With a strong desire in Mrs. Jia's eyes, she tried her best to instigate Mrs. Fan. Sister Zhang suddenly frowned: "Isn't this causing trouble! Shuijia and Xiao Wushu, what do you know about us? How dare you say that?!" Mrs. Fan's face turned red, and Yueting's face turned blue and uncertain. She held Mrs. Fan and looked at Aunt Zhang's hateful muttered, "She is not familiar with you. How do you know that she is not familiar with her sister?! Humph! Think of it as you! The five girls are only one brother, who doesn't know? Those who stick up with their shameless faces, of course, they don't know you well!"
"You!" Sister Zhang's face turned red angrily and almost slapped Yueting. Mrs. Fan quickly blocked her and persuaded her, "Yueting's mouth is a little straight. Go back and tell me that you are bigger than her. Take more responsibility." Mrs. Sun hurried forward to pull Sister Zhang. While dragging her back, she whispered: "The eldest sister is calm. You are also nosy. With the fifth master here, which one can be crazy? Usually, you are not even allowed to enter the house door. Just take care of it. What do you care about her? We have been with the fifth master for so many years, and we have been born and died. Who doesn't understand anything? Besides, the fifth master's brothers have the final say!"
"Grandpa/Grandma understands this. Don't lower your status. Now the martial arts test is over, and we have to go back quickly. Tonight, it must be lively again. The fifth master has a lot of things to do, and the eldest sister has to go to Zhangluo. If the list is released tomorrow, it's too much to say. The eldest sister is still busy, but There is no time to argue with the villain. Let's go. Let's go back quickly. The day before yesterday, the fifth master complained that he hadn't eaten the duck cooked by the eldest sister for a long time. Didn't the eldest sister say that if the second master Wei did well in the exam today, she would cook it for the fifth master and the second master? I waited for my elder sister to burn this duck and steal a craft with my elder sister. Mingwan stepped forward and took Sister Zhang's other hand, holding a gun and a stick to persuade her, while pulling her to look down the shed. Mingjing cleverly took two steps forward and went down the shed as if leading the way. Aunt Sun curled the corners of her mouth and glanced at Mrs. Fan and Yueting with the corners of her eyes. Then Mingwan's words said with a smile that she wanted tonight. What to cook and what to prepare tomorrow? Several people went all the way down to the shed.
Mrs. Jia looked at several people who went down to see the shed. Thinking about Mr. Zhijing's fate, she was a little stunned and was stunned before she reacting. She hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to persuade Mrs. Fan, who was pale: "Madam, don't care about them. A group of rural people, rural people are not good at this. Their eyes are shallow and short-sighted, or Miss Yueting understands that in the final analysis, this blood relatives can't be broken. As the saying goes, the bones are connected to the tendons. The old lady is still in filial piety and should only stay quietly. How can she go to the lively place of eating and drinking? The fifth girl is really for the good of the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter thinks that this will be a matter of the family in the future. Speaking of which, these five girls are really admirable. They think carefully about everything. After careful thought about it, the fifth girl is really good at the old lady!" Yueting stared at Mrs. Jia fiercely and made a heavy 'hum'. Mrs. Jia ignored her and gently dusted Aunt Fan with a veil. She lowered her voice and then persuaded her, "What Miss Yueting said is very true. Speaking of speaking, the eldest lady is the sister-in-law of the fifth girl, and the fifth girl is different from the eldest lady. Generally, the old lady can't behave compared with them. Mrs. Jia looked carefully at Mrs. Fan's face and saw that her face softened a lot. Then she followed her words and continued to say, "Say something that should not be said. Those people are just people under the Li family. They are not even the people under the door. Like the old lady, they are serving the master's family. It's just the servant. What they are going to do is different from what the old lady wants to do. According to the old lady's words, what is the difference between heaven and the abyss?
"That's it! M Mother's words are reasonable!" Yueting hurriedly answered. Mrs. Fan's face softened a lot and sighed slowly. Mrs. Jia poured a cup of tea and then advised: "For example, at this time, they should go back to prepare a celebration banquet and make some auspicious things to be rewarded tomorrow. This matter is originally the people under the door, and the servants have to do. The old lady is the master's family. At this time, it is time to socialize with those ladies and grandmothers and welcome the sending them away. Speaking of which, the second master Wei's marriage has to be handled by the old lady. In this socializing, the old lady has to pay attention to which is a suitable girl's home. This is what the old lady should do.
Yueting listened to Mrs. Jia's words with joy, anxiety and angrily. She was stunned and didn't have time to answer. Seeing that Mrs. Fan's mood was calm, Mrs. Jia was secretly relieved and connected to the topic: "Look, Madam, today's second master Wei's exam is so good. The old lady should go and have a look. First, Second Master Wei will have a look. When it comes to his family, how warm his heart is. Second, Second Master Wei is going to become an official like his uncle. He doesn't have a daughter-in-law now. At the end of this inner house, the old lady has to do more for him. Don't underestimate the relationship between this lady. It's very important to say something that shouldn't be said. This official Pay attention to communication and take care of each other. In the future, the second master will respond to each other and take care of each other. This is a wide way to become an official. If the old lady wants to be a virtuous internal assistant, the old lady has to think of it. For this, the old lady should also go and congratulate the second master. Mrs. Fan suddenly opened her words, with a smile on her face. She looked at Mrs. Jia and thanked her and said, "Mother still understands everything. Mama, shall we go there now or wait a little longer?"
"What are you waiting for? It's the best time to go now!" Mrs. Jia replied with a smile on her face and relaxedly. Mrs. Fan nodded, stood up and straightened her dress. Yueting followed closely and said, "I'll go with my sister!" A trace of pity and helplessness flashed in Mrs. Jia's eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Yueting is an unmarried girl's house. Let's go back first." Yueting's angry face turned blue. She spat at Mrs. Jia fiercely and stamped her feet and shouted, "I'll go with my sister!" They are all a family, and they are not heroic! Can't I congratulate my second brother?! What don't you pay attention to! Pooh! The second brother's marriage requires you, an old and pious woman!"
