dream of red mansion

He wanted to know how far the world's martial arts can make people reach, so he asked: "I don't know how big brother Liu's kung fu ranks in the Jianghu?"

When asked about this, Liu Xianglian's face became obviously very confident. He slightly raised his head and said: "Although brother Yu is not talented, he has never met anyone in the younger generation who can beat me steadily, but on Wudang Mountain There must be a brother who can beat me, but I have never seen it."

"Then how many people can Big Brother Liu deal with by himself?"

Liu Xianglian thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts use weapons, they should be able to block about twenty of them. It could be the difference between life and death.”

Jia Qing was so disappointed, how could the Jianghu duel be full of ordinary people, wouldn't it be possible to deal with only a few people?Judging from his tone, he is still considered a top expert of the younger generation. Isn't this force value too low?

But Jia Qing was still a little puzzled: "Then I also heard that the generals on the battlefield can kill dozens or even hundreds of people by themselves, so aren't they all peerless masters?"

Liu Xianglian retorted: "How is that possible? Almost all those brave generals have practiced killing moves, which are of course more conducive to killing people. Moreover, there are too many factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield, such as morale, physical strength, and will. Let me alone On the battlefield, maybe many brave generals can kill me, but in other places, there are not many generals who can kill me.

Moreover, most of the soldiers on the battlefield are not in the best condition due to running and marching or being injured.In addition, if a certain general on the battlefield is as imposing as a rainbow and makes the soldiers fear, it is indeed not an exaggeration to be beheaded by a hundred people. "

Jia Qing finally understood that this practice of martial arts didn't seem to have much effect, not to mention taking the head of a general in the three armies, even a general with dozens of troops to surround a martial arts master would most likely be able to be killed by the horse!

What is the use of learning this kind of martial arts?

Xu saw Jia Qing's disdain for practicing martial arts, Liu Xianglian said: "Although practicing martial arts will not have much effect on the war, it is of great benefit to the individual, the most obvious is that it can prolong life! Do you know that Wudang today How old is the head teacher sent?"

"How many?"

"More than 120 years old! And he is said to be very healthy, but he is not in Wudang Mountain now, it is said that he has traveled around the world."

Over 120 years old?Still traveling around the world?Jia Qing suddenly felt that this martial art was worth learning, good guy, isn't that equivalent to an extra life?

"Brother Liu, quickly teach me that so-called agility!"

Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Qing and thought in her heart: With the mentality of this virtuous brother Jia, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve success in martial arts.But he didn't intend to hit him, let him retreat in the future!

So Jia Qing learned a set of movements called "Youlong" from Liu Xianglian in his yard.

When Jia Qing returned to Ningguo Mansion, it was already afternoon. Since Jia Qing had just learned about martial arts, he was very interested, so he asked Wang Shun to make lunch at Liu Xianglian's. I feel a little hungry.

On the way, he sent Li Yan back to the mansion to report, saying that he just made friends with a nobleman, and they met for a drink together.So don't worry about being anxious at home.After briefly talking about the exam with Jia Jing, Jia Qing went back to Yipintang.

At this time, in the outer room of Qingju, the maids are surrounding a table of dominoes, talking and laughing.When Jia Qing came in, he just said hello and didn't get up.

"My uncle is hungry, any of you will get me something to eat?"

Peifeng dissatisfied: "Isn't there fruit snacks on the plane over there? Er Ye put some on first, dinner will be in a while, where can I get you something to eat at this time!"

Jia Qing walked to the table and saw that the copper coins in front of Xieluan had piled up like a hill, so he pulled Xieluan up and said, "Sister Xiaoluan, I will fight for you, and I promise to win you a large sum of money. Go to the kitchen and get me something to eat." He sat down after speaking.

Although Xie Luan was also dissatisfied with Jia Qing's forced occupation of her position, she didn't argue, she said something coquettishly, and called Jin'er and Ping'er, who were watching the battle, to leave together.

Pei Feng taunted at the side: "You can still win money at the level of the second master, it would be strange if you don't lose all of Xie Luan."

"You actually look down on my uncle, and you are so arrogant that you will win all your money!"

Speaking of the dominoes, they are actually Pai Gow, which is the most popular pastime for family members of wealthy families, and the rules are simple (I won’t introduce them here, if you are interested, you can search the Internet for the rules of Pai Gow). Of course, Jia Qing will also , I just feel a little monotonous and don't like to play.

Who knows, maybe God didn't let him prove himself, the cards in several rounds were very low, and when Xie Luan came back, half of her money had already been output.

Jia Qing refused to accept it and said: "No, I want to increase the weight in this game, and the winner will be determined in one game!"

In the end, it was unsuccessful, and the girls on the table knocked Jia Qing, a non-gambler, off the table and rushed to the other table to eat.

Chapter 44 Tanchunyuan Second and Third Children's Interests

Shenjing Xicheng, Guozijian, in the entrance examination marking room.

The permanent lecturers of seven or eight colleges are reading the test papers of the candidates who participated in the entrance test of the Imperial College.Due to the use of brushes to answer the questions, each test paper is at least five or six pages long, and the content of the test is also very simple. Undoubtedly, the work of grading papers is quite boring.However, these teachers are still adhering to professional ethics in grading papers, after all, they are the students of the highest institution in the country.

Suddenly a person sighed and said: "This examinee has a very solid foundation. Although he passed the sub-examination, he has completed all the questions. It's a pity that he is only eight years old, so he can only go to the T-class class for two years, and wait a little longer." If you are older, you will be transferred to Class C to teach, maybe you will be another child prodigy."

At this time, Lin Zhongyi, the head of the marking team, said, "Oh? What test paper, bring it here for me to have a look." The man sorted out the test papers and handed them all to Lin Zhongyi.

Lin Zhongyi took it, first looked at the signature, he had a good idea, and then carefully looked at the answer sheet, he had the answer.After considering his words for a while, he said, "I think it's a good idea to transfer him to Class C and directly participate in the study of classics..."

The previous person was puzzled and said: "Boss Lin, he is only eight years old? You can wait for another two years, lest he suddenly enter Class C without knowing what to do, or be impetuous, which is not good for his own development!"

The others nodded approvingly when they heard what he said. Being too young is really not conducive to entering the competitive Class C early, because of lack of character.

In fact, Lin Zhongyi also had this worry in his heart, but Sun Jijiu told him before that Master Jing of the Ningguo Mansion had greeted him, and if his young master had enough foundation, he would be allowed to enter Class C instead of Class D .Since the father is not worried, what else can I say?

So he said, "Do you know who this Jia Qing is?"

The man hadn't spoken yet, but another lecturer next to him said, "Jia Qing, is he the young master of the Ningguo mansion who respects the master? If so, then I have no objection to him entering Class C. Just because he is in Mr. Liu's mansion For the lotus poem he wrote, I am convinced that his xinxing is fine."

Several other people who had never heard of it hurriedly asked what was going on, so the lecturer told all the poems about Jia Qing he had heard.

Hearing such a thing, the previous lecturer didn't insist anymore, he let go and said: "In this case, follow the advice of Mr. Lin and let him enter Class C. But it happens that I am also the lecturer of Class C, so I have to test him if I have the opportunity. some."

Lin Zhongyi smiled and said: "It should be like this!"

......

After lunch at Rongqingtang, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu went to Tanchun's courtyard together.Once the new year is over, Tanchun's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, has had a few small quarrels in Tanchun's room over the matter of money. Bao Dai and her two also heard about it from the maid, and they are going to comfort Tanchun.

"Sister Lin, I really don't understand why there are people in this world who don't want their daughters to live a good life, but why are they making troubles every day? Isn't it just some gold and silver things? Could it be that living in the mansion can shorten her life?" What? Even the third sister's rouge and silver are also thinking about it! In my opinion, the third sister might as well give her all the rewards she got during the New Year's Day, and then I will fill in the short ones in the house, do you think it's okay?"

Jia Baoyu has been stimulated by Jia Qing, and recently he has been thinking about how to treat Tanchun well, and now that something like this happens, he thinks it is an opportunity.

Daiyu looked into Jia Baoyu's inquiring eyes, and sighed in her heart, brother Bao had a good heart, but his thoughts were too immature.Is the matter of the third sister a simple matter of money?Her biological mother was the aunt in the mansion, who was born unnatural and vulgar, and reminded her all the time that she was a concubine!This is the root of the real difficulty of Tanchun.

But this is a fact that cannot be changed at all!

"What's the use of you giving the money? Auntie won't ask her for it later? You also know that Auntie didn't do this because she was short of money. It's not easy to interfere."

Jia Baoyu thought about it, and then suggested: "Then I will go to my ancestors to talk about this matter, and ask my ancestors to make decisions for the third younger sister. She will definitely subdue this annoying person..."

Daiyu still shook her head and said: "No matter what, my aunt is the birth mother of the third younger sister. Go and tell the ancestors that this matter has become serious, and it is the third younger sister who has the dull face. How can someone as strong as her bear it?" .”

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Does the third sister deserve to be made things difficult by that ignorant woman?"

Jia Baoyu was not very interested in those married "dead fish eyeballs", and now he even cursed.But if Jia Zheng heard this, he would definitely let him know what an ignorant beast is.You can scold Lao Tzu's concubine too?

Daiyu didn't care about these things, and she also disliked these impolite women.

Suddenly Jia Baoyu said again: "It would be great if the second younger brother was here. He always has a lot of tricks. Unfortunately, he will go to prepare for his exam after the next year. He has already reported to the Imperial College today. I don't know how long it will be before seeing him again." gone."

Daiyu had no opinion on this question. At this time, Tanchun's courtyard also arrived, so she stopped talking.

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, a girl said, "Miss Lin and Master Bao are here..."

Tanchun, who was meditating in the inner room, had to cheer up and stood up to greet him.
