Before Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Amnesty threw another apple at Jia Lian: "Stinky boy, if you dare to stretch your claws on the gambling table, I will immediately go to Uncle Jing and open a ancestral hall to expel you from the clan. From then on, it will be assumed that you have never had a son like you!"

Expulsion from the clan is no joke, but Jia Lian was only joking, and was not intimidated by Jia Amnesty's sudden aura. He handed the apple he had grabbed to Anxi and said, "Tch, I don't have a father like yours." Good luck to win the bet, besides, I don't lack money..."

He will never get involved in the gambling game, betting on himself to lose when he knows that he has a high chance of winning the first prize, and then deliberately throwing water in the decisive battle, just to win a little money.

You know, he just got four loads of gold from His Majesty the Emperor.

"Okay, as long as you know it, kid. Hurry up and read the book before it officially starts, and make two articles for your elder brother to take over and have a look."

Jia Lian hated making fuss the most. When he picked up the brush, he either had a headache or a brain fever, and tried every excuse not to make a fuss.But with Anxi by his side, Jia Lian had no choice but to scrape together two articles and show them to Jia Hu.

It's strange that the articles made by hand can be good-looking, especially at Jia Lian's half-baked level.

Those two articles were an eyesore for Jia Hu, but Jia Hu couldn't speak directly, for fear of dispelling Jia Lian's enthusiasm.

In the end, I can only praise Jia Lian's calligraphy is not bad.

"Brother, my article is still reasonable..." Jia Lian heard his elder brother's euphemistic meaning, as if his two articles were useless except for the words.

Jia Hu pursed her lips, thinking it would be better to tell Jia Lian the truth, lest Jia Lian also write such an essay in the examination room and think he did a good job.

"Brother, the template of your essay is too rigid, you can just add a few more sentences to polish it up, it will affect your grades if you are so dry."

In comparison, Anxi's articles are much better. Although they are not very literary, at least they can be read fluently, which is enough for martial arts.

Feeling that he didn't go into detail enough, Jia Hu added a few more sentences: "You don't need to be fancy about the embellishments, as long as it shows your loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and strong will to serve the country."

Looking at Jia Lian's confused eyes, Jia Hu reluctantly wrote a few examples for Jia Lian to take back and memorize.

When Jia Lian left, Jia Hu told him again earnestly: "Writing essays is not something that can be done overnight, so hurry up and practice while you still have time. It would be bad if you just write such essays in the examination room. Marking papers The grown-ups will definitely think that you are perfunctory."

Once you are marked with a bad attitude, you can basically say goodbye to this martial arts competition.Although the martial arts exam pays more attention to martial arts, but the essay test is too bad.

After Jia Lian left, Jia Hu went to his father to explain Jia Lian's problem, but Jia Amnesty had nothing to do.This kind of thing can't pry Jia Lian's head open and stuff the book in, so he can only improve by practicing as much as possible.

"Even if you can't reach the point where practice makes perfect, at least you can sharpen your guns before the battle, and you will be unhappy..."

There is a specialization in art, and Jia Amnesty has long thought about it.

The eldest son has a brilliant literary talent, and it is easy to write two articles in one breath, but it is impossible for the eldest son to do two backflips.When I got to my second son, let alone two backflips, I didn’t even have to pant for twenty backflips, but if I wanted to write two articles, I had to lie down on the table immediately, exhaling more and breathing less.

For Jia Lian who is about to participate in the martial arts, Situ Chen is also very concerned. After all, his father said that if Jia Lian is not the champion of martial arts, he will come back and beat him.

"I heard that Lian'er still has a headache when writing articles?"

As Situ Chen said, he took out the organized "Martial Arts Simulation" and handed it to Jia She, but Jia She turned it over and returned it to Situ Chen.

"Don't let Lian'er take such a shortcut, or else when I was working on "Imperial Examination Simulation", I also made "Wuju Simulation", and did you include the questions of this martial arts examination? This is not helping Lian'er..."

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, Situ Chen was silent for a while.It is indeed not good for Jia Lian to ask questions directly in the future. It can help for a while but not for a lifetime. Jia Lian will eventually learn to write decent articles by himself.

Then work hard while there are still a few months left.

For Jia Lian, suffering is like eating, and he has long been used to it. The months of torment are finally not in vain, and the articles he writes are already worth reading.

The article is only a part, and what can affect the final judging result has to be fist work.

Due to various reasons, compared with the number of people who participated in the imperial examination, the number of people who came to participate in the martial arts examination was pitifully small.

Because compared with the imperial examination, the cost of training a martial arts candidate is much higher.If the family is poor and cannot read books, you can borrow a book and copy a copy and take it back to read, but the herbs used for martial arts injuries will disappear if you eat them in your stomach and urinate...

Moreover, practicing martial arts keeps the body injured and improves the body's ability to withstand it little by little. It is not bad if it can be cured. Sometimes it takes a long time to recuperate, and expensive medicinal materials are needed to have a curative effect.

Not to mention the cost of damage to clothes caused by injuries, people who practice martial arts also eat a lot more than ordinary people, and the cumulative cost is not small.So Jia Amnesty joked with Jia Lian when the three grandsons were born, saying that Jia Lian, this old man, would be poor in the future.

But these are secondary reasons, the most important point is that martial arts are not taken seriously.

After all, Daqi has been stable for many years, not to mention wars, there is almost no bandit suppression.What's the use of participating in martial arts exams even if one gains fame?If you get promoted by grinding time and gaining qualifications, how much room for promotion will there be?

Ordinary people can't afford to train them, and noble families feel that they are not as good as the official positions that come directly from Mengyin...

In this way, among all the candidates participating in the martial arts examination, Jia Lian was like a "stand out from the crowd".

In terms of status, Jia Lian is the second son of the Duke of the State, and he has been granted the title of first-class general by the Supreme Emperor many years ago.In terms of level, that is Prince Nan'an's closed disciple, a boy who practiced minor skills.

The candidates all had their calculations in their minds, the comparison is definitely not comparable, if the draw is against Jia Lian, it is better to admit defeat immediately.In order not to be seriously injured at the beginning, it will directly affect the subsequent competition.

Meeting opponents who all chose to abstain, this made Jia Lian feel worse than hitting cotton with his fist.

"Anxi, if you're a brother, don't let me go!"

In the final round of the champion contest, Anxi and Jia Lian faced each other as expected.Although An Xi only started to practice martial arts when he was in his teens, he has practiced hard with Jia Lian for many years, and his skills are not far behind Jia Lian.

"Then please do your best!"

As Anxi said, she kicked her feet, and her clenched fists went straight to Jia Lian's front.Jia Lian crossed his hands to block Anxi's punch, and then swept his feet, looking a little more serious.

The duel between masters is always more exciting. The judge who had already breathed out and was a little sleepy, his eyes lit up when he saw Jia Lian and Anxi fighting seriously, and he sat upright and began to watch the battle seriously.

Sharp-eyed people have already seen that the martial arts of the two belong to the same school, and thought this would be interesting.

"Do you guys know where this Zhao Anxi came from? Why have I never heard of this person, it seems that such a person was born out of thin air."

"We only know that General Jia is the closed disciple of Prince Nan'an, but we don't know how many apprentices Prince Nan'an has taken. Maybe Zhao Anxi is a senior brother of General Jia's."

This is the first martial arts champion in this dynasty, even brothers from the same sect will inevitably compete with each other.

There was no discussion on this issue, and the eyes of several examiners returned to the ring.

Jia Lian felt that Anxi's physical strength seemed to be starting to be a little insufficient. While the speed was slightly reduced, the strength of his hands was also reduced by two points.Anxi has been trying her best, but found that Jia Lian started to release the water. After thinking for a while, she pretended not to notice anything, and decided to make good use of this arena, so that Jia Lian's kung fu can be fully displayed.

The people who watched were happy, but Jia Lian felt that he was going to die of exhaustion, and even began to doubt whether An Xi was really lacking energy, or pretending to be lack of energy and playing a war of attrition.

An Xi was really about to exhaust her strength, so she whispered, "Second Master, take a break."

Having not heard this sentence for a long time, Jia Lian subconsciously withdrew his fist.Anxi raised his hand to signal the judge that he would admit defeat directly at the end of his strength.

Although Anxi chose to admit defeat, she still received warm applause from the crowd.This kind of admitting defeat is decent, and it's not too good-looking compared to those cowards who dare not even play twice.

Daqi's martial arts examinations are different from the imperial examinations, and they have to wait for the results to be released. The results will be announced after the competition is over.Jia Lian undisputedly became Qinhe's first martial arts champion, while An Xi was second.

"My brother-in-law is the best, and the two sons have become champions in both civil and military affairs."

Lin Ruhai rushed to Rongguo Mansion to congratulate Jia Amnesty immediately after learning that Jia Lian had won the champion of martial arts.Jia She had already heard countless voices of congratulations all afternoon. Although he said that Jia Lian was lucky and didn't meet anyone better than him, the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed Jia She's joy in his heart.

A son who is an excellent father is naturally happy. Although it is not bad for Lin Ziyu to be the No.

"It's not that only champions are promising, that child Ziyu can't be wrong in the future."

Jia Amnesty could tell at a glance that his brother-in-law was obsessed again, and after nodding, he wondered in his mind when Jia Lian would come back, and when Situ Chen would come.

Situ Chen didn't wait, and Jia Lian didn't come back, but Liu Yu came to congratulate Jia She, and told Jia She at the same time: "Jia Zhuangyuan and Zhao Bangyan have both been taken to the palace to recuperate, the Duke can rest assured, they are all skin traumas. That's all..."

Because Lin Ruhai was there, Liu Yu didn't finish all the words that followed, but Jia Amnesty still guessed what Situ Chen meant.

If you just let him know, there is no need to send Liu Yu over.

If he wanted to see the two children, he would pass the sign and enter the palace openly.

so……

Lin Ruhai still didn't know the relationship between Jia She and Situ Chen, but he knew that An Xi was an attendant who had been practicing with Jia Lian.The master and the servant, one champion and one second, made Lin Ruhai ponder whether to let his son's attendant take the imperial examination, but Lin Ruhai quickly rejected this idea.

The son's servant is not that capable.

Thinking of the possibility that Jia She would go to the palace to visit Jia Lian, Lin Ruhai stopped chatting with Jia She, got up, cupped his hands and went back to the mansion.

Entering the palace to visit his son was a serious matter, and after Jia She handed over the signboard, he entered the palace openly.As soon as Jia Amnesty entered the room, he could smell the strong smell of ointment, and saw Jia Lian sitting cross-legged on the bed with bandages on his upper body, eating cantaloupe.

"You can still eat melons. It doesn't look like a big deal. Is Anxi asleep? How is he doing?"

After all, they are partners who have practiced together for many years, Jia Lian still knows the severity of his actions.Because Anxi suffered a lot when he was a child, and his physical fitness was not as good as Jia Lian's, it seemed that he was much more serious than Jia Lian.

Jia Lian put down the cantaloupe in his hand, grabbed the handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth and hands, and said, "It's nothing serious, the imperial doctor said that it will be healed after a night of sleep."

As long as there is nothing to do, Jia Amnesty left a sentence to rest and went to the main hall to find Situ Chen.Situ Chen was wearing a booklet, and when he saw Jia She came, he asked Jia She to come over and sit down, and asked about his future plans for Jia Lian: "What kind of official position does Enhou think is more suitable for the two children?"

Anyway, Jia Lian did a few errands even when he had no official position. Jia She felt that there was no need to worry about official position, and delaying it later could grind Jia Lian's temper.

As for An Xi's solid-eyed child, he will definitely say that he will always follow Jia Lian.But there is no harm in being Jia Lian's deputy, maybe he can stabilize Jia Lian at critical moments.

Speaking of finding some errands for Jia Lian first, Situ Chen had an idea.

They had just been to the Summer Resort a few months ago, and only part of it had been repaired. Even if it was completely repaired, they still felt disgusted.It's better to overhaul it on the original basis, but this is bound to take time.

Next summer, since he didn't want to spend a miserable time in the capital, Situ Chen thought about going to the grassland for a visit.

"Lian'er is the No. [-] Scholar of the New Science and Military Forces. Let him go to the grassland as a vanguard to make some arrangements. Then we will go there with the officials. Let's deter those who may be restless."

Now the second son did not build a house and changed to "weeding". Jia She thought it would not take long to open the road, and it would be better than being the overseer of the Supreme Emperor's construction of the palace.

"It's not urgent. It won't be too late when Jia Lian recovers."

After finishing the business, Jia She wrote a note saying we'll meet at night and threw it to Situ Chen. After reading it, Situ Chen raised his eyebrows. He would leave the door for Jia She at night...

A double champion, or a complete civil and military champion, Rongguo Mansion became a hot topic in the capital for a while.King Bei Jing finally couldn't sit still, and immediately came over to discuss with Jia She about the marriage between Shui Li and Jia Yingchun.

No matter how long Jia Amnesty wants to keep her daughter before she is willing to get married, the two of them should make an agreement on the marriage first, and then it will be stable if they stop the pit first.

As soon as she talked about her marriage with Shui Li, Jia Yingchun blushed and ran away.Now that his daughter had already had some thoughts about that water li, Jia Amnesty stopped worrying about Beijing Jing Wang's family.

"I heard that your son's marriage is scheduled for two years later, so Yingchun's wedding will be scheduled for three years later." If the time is staggered by one year, the Beijing Palace will not be ashamed of Yingchun's marriage because of the collision of the two marriages. Something was overlooked.

Isn't it just three years, their family can afford to wait!King Beijing left Rongguo Mansion in a hurry with the marriage contract that he had just made in ink.

After sending King Jing away, Jia Amnesty thought about it and became concerned about what Jia Cong was doing.The housekeeper told Jia She that Jia Congzheng and Anxi were learning basic skills, and they also wanted to become the champion of martial arts like the second master Lian.

"It's good to have ambition, it depends on whether this kid can persevere."

As for why Jia Lian refused to teach Jia Cong, Jia Amnesty didn't ask in detail, probably because Jia Lian couldn't be cruel to his younger brother.

Jia Amnesty went over to glance at Jia Lian, and saw that Jia Lian was hugging his daughter and teasing his sons to clear their throats.Although Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, Jia Lian knew that it was his father who was looking for him.So he put his daughter on the bed, touched the top of Qiaojie's head, and followed Jia She to the next door.

Straight to the point, Jia Amnesty directly explained Situ Chen's plan to Jia Lian, and then asked Jia Lian: "The Supreme Emperor didn't ask you for anything."

The Supreme Emperor just told Jia Lian to take a good rest, and didn't say anything that Jia Lian should do.

It's easy to say that there is no conflict on errands, and Jia Amnesty went back to write a note to Situ Chen to explain the situation.

Here Jia Amnesty is writing a note to Situ Chen, and on the other hand Jia Lian is also writing a letter to the Supreme Emperor.

"Go to the grassland next summer?"

After receiving Jia Lian's letter, the Supreme Emperor always felt that it was a bit strange.

To say that most of the people who go to Beijing in summer are to avoid the heat, but there is not even a shady place on the prairie. Even if the tent is set up, the inside looks like a steamer. Isn't this just making yourself guilty?

King Li also thought it was a bit weird at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it made sense at all.

"The fourth brother is not a random person. It is impossible to go to the grassland to bask in the sun on a hot day. Erchen thinks that this matter may be because of our intentions. Lian'er just went to the grassland to make arrangements for the fourth brother. After the fall, the fourth brother will go to the grassland. past."

Chengde is not far from the grasslands, so after the summer vacation, it is reasonable to go there to "shock" the restless people.

However, the Supreme Emperor also had his own ideas, and always felt that it was unreasonable for Situ Chen to do so.

In the summer, he was enjoying the coolness in the summer resort, but let Jia Lian go to the grassland to arrange things under the sun. Isn't this bullying?The Supreme Emperor patted the back of the chair and got up to write a letter to Situ Chen.

"No, the fourth child must be replaced!"

King Li took a deep breath, and was almost blown away by his father's "naive" thoughts.Originally, their behavior of inquiring about the emperor's whereabouts was taboo, and they still had to criticize the emperor's decision. Isn't this a crime of death?

Considering that talking about his fourth brother might not be effective at all, King Li felt that it would be more effective for Raja Lian to come out.Since his father thought of Jia Lian, he couldn't delay Jia Lian's future future.

The road to promotion from a martial arts background is even more difficult. If there are no errands to add luster, it will really be hard work.

"As soon as Lian'er won the first prize, he has an errand. This is the importance that the fourth brother attaches to Lian'er. Besides, being able to ride a horse on the grassland is not more comfortable for Lian'er than sitting in the yamen? And Lian'er originally talked about it. It’s not too white, and it won’t be too dark even if it’s exposed to the sun…”

With the efforts of King Li, the Supreme Emperor finally gave up the idea of ​​supporting Jia Lian.However, he was still worried about Jia Lian's affairs, and ordered his subordinates to watch secretly, so as not to make Jia Lian suffer any grievances.

Jia Lian had correspondence with the Supreme Emperor, and Situ Chen knew that the Supreme Emperor's people were secretly protecting Jia Lian. Jia Lian never said anything that should not be said, so Situ Chen did not regard Jia Lian as the Supreme Emperor's eyeliner.

For the behavior of the Supreme Emperor, Situ Chen also regarded it as the care of the elders for the younger generation.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. If we don't spend the summer in the summer palace, what kind of grassland do we go to? Do we want to be dried like salted fish?"

After hearing what Jia She said, Situ Chen also understood that he really didn't think well at the time.

"Then according to Enhou's intention, let's go to the summer resort first, and then go to the grassland when the weather is not hot. I will send people to Lian'er's side to make preparations, so as to ensure that we will not be burned into charcoal."

In terms of meticulousness, Jia Amnesty felt ashamed. Situ Chen had really considered every aspect for Jia Lian, and there were only two imperial doctors who adjusted Jia Lian's complexion.

Jia Lian mixed the ointment in his hands with his fingers, wondering what the Emperor and his father were thinking, did they think he was ugly and would be a hindrance to the court's face?

An Xi knew that Jia Lian was joking, so she covered it with her hand and said in a low voice, "His Majesty the Emperor probably made it for the Supreme Emperor."

After all, the Supreme Emperor was a bit "picky", so His Majesty the Emperor naturally wanted to cover everything, so as not to be beaten by the Supreme Emperor.

The two sides fought each other, and the beneficiary was actually Jia Lian.After applying the ointment evenly according to the bronze mirror, Jia Lian dug some ointment and applied a piece of ointment to Anxi's face.

"You also wipe some, then there will be more people trying to trick you into being a wealthy son-in-law."

Although he is a little older, compared with the limitless future, those ages are nothing.There are really many people who don't know Anxi's situation have this plan, but Anxi decided to reveal his secret after returning to Beijing.

"It will be troublesome then..."

"What's the trouble? Otherwise, my father is also idle when he is idle..."

Jia Lian said nonchalantly, and then urged the driver to drive faster.The earlier he arrived at the grassland, the more time he could spend freely.

An Xi didn't say anything else, and silently started to pack Jia Lian's bedding for sleeping in the carriage.

It was precisely because Situ Chen and Jia She had relaxed their guard in the summer resort that the people in the hands of the Supreme Emperor got some clues when they were protecting Jia Lian.

The Supreme Emperor was so shocked by the contents of the letter that he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time of sluggishness, he finally only said the word "ridiculous".

Although King Li couldn't believe it either, but thinking carefully about the big and small things that happened in the past, people couldn't believe it...

"Come here, go and arrest Jia Amnesty and interrogate him severely!"

"Father, this is absolutely impossible!"

The author has something to say: The Supreme Emperor: Do you still want me to be caught, raped, in bed, so angry that I die suddenly on the spot?

Situ Chen: We will call the imperial physician...
