Just as Weitu expected. After learning that he had borrowed the Huang family's carriage when he returned to Li's house, a subtle change occurred in Li Yaozu's heart. The words he spoke to Wei Tu also tended to be equal, instead of always saying that Wei Tu was "loyal" and that he did things "dutifully" when he was in Li's house... "Huang family?" "If our Li family hadn't bought him back then, how would he be alive now? Where is his second aunt? Where was he then?" In Li's study room, Li Xingye and Li Yaozu were chatting with each other, and they were quite dissatisfied. A domestic slave sat at the same table with him during this period, and Li Yaozu and his wife often lectured him, asking him to establish a good relationship with Wei Tu, which would be of great use in the future. Although he listened to his parents, openly talked to Wei Tu on an equal footing, and treated him politely, he became increasingly dissatisfied. It was obviously the Li family that gave Wei Tu everything, but Wei Tu still acted like an equal. It was really not his "duty". In addition, he was ranked among the top ten in the county examination, and he is expected to gain fame in this subject... Do you need to consider the thoughts of a domestic slave before doing anything?
He could bear it a few days ago. But today, Li Yaozu was obviously more "polite" when facing Wei Tu. "Being groveling" to former domestic slaves. this point. Li Xingye couldn't bear it. He believed that Wei Tu had insulted his parents. "Good, my ancestor. Keep your voice down, don't let the servants hear you." Li Yaozu was shocked when he heard Li Xingye's words. He quickly walked to the door and looked around. When he saw no servants, he immediately The doors and windows were closed tightly. "What's this?" Li Xingye didn't take it seriously and sat on the straight-backed chair near the desk. However, when he spoke, he still obeyed Li Yaozu's words and his voice was softer. "If you bear with him for a few more days, dad will send him away soon." Li Yaozu coaxed Li Xingye. "also." Li Xingye raised his eyebrows and did not argue too much with Li Yaozu. "By the way, Dad, ask the maid to bring me some more cakes. I'm hungry." At this time, Li Xingye spoke again. "hungry?" "Isn't this just after dinner?" When Li Yaozu heard this, he immediately scolded Li Xingye for being a prodigal and felt sorry for his money. How much does it cost to add one extra meal per night?
"How can I touch the dishes he touched twice?" Li Xingye said contemptuously, holding a book on Confucian sages. … The next day. In the square in front of the main temple of the City God's Temple, the second martial arts assessment began. This time, the three subjects of the test were horse shooting, foot shooting and competition test. After the completion of the three subject examinations, which also means the end of the outer field, the last test of the martial arts examination is left, the inner field military strategy. "On top of the armor..." "In the first class..." Soon, the results of Wei Tu Ma She and Bu She came out accordingly. In these two exams, Wei Tu achieved first-level grades, ranking among the top martial arts masters. "He actually has a good horse that he's used to riding?" Outside the field, a group of gentry were surprised. They did not expect that Wei Tu, who was born in a poor family, would ride a green horse in the horse shooting test instead of the inferior horse provided by the county. "What is the origin of this Wei Tu? Was he deliberately disguised in the previous exam?" Everyone's expressions darkened. But they soon gave up the idea. Deliberately pretending that you come from a poor family during the martial arts examination is of no use. On the contrary, you may be looked down upon by the examiner and receive a poor score. "At the end of the show last night, I saw Brother Huang and his side room going to see Wei Tu. Could it be that Wei Tu and Brother Huang have an old relationship?" a gentleman asked curiously. The Huang family is one of the richest in Qingmu County, and every move they make is noticed by those who travel with them. Although the scene where Mr. Huang and Wei Tu recognized their relatives the day before yesterday was not seen, the fact that Wei Tu went to the Huang family was noticed by some gentry. knew. "Well..." Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "He is my nephew and also my nephew..." "So, this Wei Tu comes from the Huang family?" the gentleman next to him asked immediately. If Wei Tu was born in the Huang family, then their guess about their performance in the first game the day before yesterday might be wrong. In this county martial arts competition, Wei Tu is very likely to become the county leader. Even if he failed to become the county leader, his performance in the outfield and the top spot in the rankings were more than enough. At this moment, in Wei Tu's three outfield exams, except for Ji Yong's "Knife Dance" subject, which was slightly worse and only achieved "B", the rest of the grades were all A. In this county martial arts competition, only the final "competition test" and the infield examination are left - military strategy! A "competition" is a competition between martial arts masters. With the bravery shown by Wei Tu at this moment, it is not difficult to win a first-class. Then only the final military strategy is left to distinguish the county martial arts rankings.
However, Zheng Guo’s martial arts competition was based on “martial arts first and strategy second.” In other words, military strategy scores have little or very limited impact on the rankings of martial arts candidates. As long as Wei Tu doesn't write nonsense during the military strategy exam, his results will be enough to rank among the top five, top three, or even the leader in the county martial arts test. And the military strategy exam... They, the wealthy gentry, could buy questions from the county magistrate. If Wei Tu was born in the Huang family... So in this military strategy test, Wei Tu will definitely pass, and there is an 80% chance that he will be the leader. Upon hearing the gentleman's questioning, Mr. Huang shook his head. He really wanted Wei Tu to become a member of the Huang family, but unfortunately, Wei Tu had a good master, and his promises to Wei Tu were beneficial - in Wei Tu's eyes, he was as light as a feather, which was not enough to impress him. "That's good." When the gentry heard this, they were relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Just like the county chiefs in the civil examination, the county chiefs in the martial arts examination can also be directly recommended to the Taoist examination above the government examination. Entering the Dao Examination will increase your chances of gaining fame. "Although Wei Tu is not from the Huang family, his identity... is a disciple of Sanyuan Township Shanwuju..." At this time, Mr. Huang added this sentence again. Even if these gentry didn't ask, he would make Wei Tu's identity known to the public today and tell them. This is not because he wants to use Wei Tu's status to enhance his own status. What he fears is Wei Tu's future. Nowadays, a martial arts disciple is not enough to have much influence on him. What Mr. Huang is worried about is that these gentry will bribe the county magistrate with money in order to achieve good results on the list, causing Wei Tu's performance in the county martial arts examination to "fall". He was supposed to be the leader, But because of this, he became second, third, and fourth. This can happen. As a member of these gentry, Mr. Huang is very aware of the dirty nature of these martial arts exercises. "What?" "A disciple of Wu Juren?" When the gentlemen heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they were moved by Master Huang's advance notification. Generally speaking, when evaluating candidates' scores, the county magistrate will also rank them based on their background. If they didn't know about Wei Tu's relationship and tried to bribe the county magistrate and examiner, they would most likely have failed and offended this dark horse in the martial arts examination.
"In that case..." "This time, more than 80% of the county leaders will belong to Wei Tu, so you and I don't have to spend money in vain..." The gentry secretly communicated. … at the same time. On the high platform. Magistrate Chen, who was dozing off, received a letter from his servant at home. When Chen Zhixian heard that it was his wife's letter, he frowned slightly and opened it. The content of the letter was very simple. It just said that Mr. Huang brought a clump of coral to his home today, and Huang Wei gave her a gold bead hairpin. At the end of the letter, Mrs. Chen mentioned that Wei Tu was Huang Wei's nephew and a disciple of Shanwuju in Sanyuan Township.
