Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 127 An Arrow Through the Heart (Subscribe)
Not long after the host and guest sat down in the main hall, Yu Tongfu's laughter was heard from a distance.

This guy didn't leave once he moved into his grandfather's house, and he didn't go back to Daxing even after the general examination and palace examination.

And not only brought Shi Huaiji, who was 10 years old after the Chinese New Year, but also Yu Taiji, who was only 2 years old, in his arms.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui had stood up, Yu Tongfu didn't greet him first, put Yu Taiji on the ground, and ordered Taiji and Huaiji to kneel down.

Shi Huaiji thumped, then knelt down and shouted, "Teacher."

Yu Taiji, on the other hand, grabbed the hem of Yu Tongfu's robe and looked at Shi Zhongkui timidly.

"Taiji, quickly kneel down and worship the teacher."

Taiji was even more frightened when Yu Tongfu asked him this question.

Shi Zhongkui hurriedly advised, "Brother, don't scare the child, since the younger brother has promised to hand over to Huaiji and Taiji, there is no reason to go back on his word."

Shi Huaiyong, Shi Guangzhu and Yu Tongfu were overjoyed immediately, and even the housekeepers and servants beside them all smiled.

Walking to the side of Shi Huaiji who was kneeling on the ground, but looking straight at Shi Huaiji, "Does Huaiji know what a teacher is?"

The little guy thought for a while, and replied with some anxiety, "I heard from my father, the teacher is the one who teaches me skills and can beat me."

Shi Zhongkui glanced at Shi Guangzhu in surprise, while Shi Huaiyong cursed directly, "You bastard who doesn't know how to learn, taught my precious grandson to death."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands to Shi Zhongkui with a smile, "Bo Qian, please rest assured, Huaiji is disobedient, he will scold and beat when he should, and I will definitely not intervene and object."

Shi Zhongkui laughed secretly, the phrase 'baby grandson' has already stated that he should listen to it the other way around.

He helped Shi Huaiji up, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he reached out and pinched Huaiji's shoulders, arms, even knees and leg bones.

Shi Huaiyong knew at a glance that he was touching the bones, and his smile became even brighter.

But within a few seconds, his face collapsed again.

Of course, my original intention was to let my descendants learn martial arts, but the Great Zhou Dynasty had been established for a hundred years, and there were no martial arts, but it was not my turn to lead the troops of a government like my own.

Therefore, most of the noble families are facing the same choice as the Jia family.

Is it to continue to practice martial arts and study military books?
Or take the road of imperial examination.

It's a pity that they were pampered and raised since childhood, and there are really few who can become successful.

Shi Zhongkui doesn't care so much, it is not impossible to let a child who likes to practice martial arts to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he must pay attention to the method.

He looked at Huaiji's palms again, and found that the 10-year-old's hands already had a frosty feeling.

This must be the result of dancing with knives and guns.

No, judging from the experience of my several door visits, Huaiji must not be able to touch real swords and guns, but things like sticks are not difficult.

"Have you practiced crossbows and spears?"

Shi Huaiji really looked at Shi Huaiyong and Shi Guangzhu with a guilty conscience.

"Look at what I'm doing," Shi Guangzhu yelled, "Whatever your teacher asks you, you bastard just answer."

Shi Huaiji immediately looked at Shi Huaiyong with pleading eyes.

It's a pity that my grandpa didn't point to Shi Guangzhu's nose and curse as usual this time.

Now the little guy immediately understood that the new teacher in front of him seemed to be even more powerful than his own father and his own grandfather.

I can only nod honestly.

Shi Zhongkui laughed, said a few words to Shi Huaiyong, and everyone went to the martial arts arena in the backyard.

While walking, Shi Zhongkui teased Yu Taiji who was in Tongfu's arms with a smile.

The little guy is not so serious this time.

After all, I heard from my own father that the preserved fruits and fresh peaches that I and my sister like to eat are all given by the uncle in front of me.

This time it was natural to call "Master Uncle", but it was probably because he was worried that if he called Teacher Shi Zhongkui, he would be beaten if he didn't obey in the future. Taiji just refused to call Teacher Shi Zhongkui.

Anxious Yu Tongfu almost cursed again.

But Shi Zhongkui waved his hand patiently.

After arriving at the Martial Arts Field, Shi Zhongkui looked around, but felt a little regretful.

Just looking at the field and the surrounding weapons, you can tell that there is a high probability that this place is just for show.

If you think about the Jia family again, it must be worse than the Shi family.

Even the martial arts arena disappeared.

No wonder the emperor looked down on the Jia family.

If the ancestors don't learn the skills, they must compete with scholars all over the world for fame and fame.

To put it bluntly, the children are unwilling to endure hardships, and gradually become a group of moths who only know about wealth and honor, but do not know how to serve the country.

However, Shi Zhongkui then thought that the ancients were not as confused as imagined.

Perhaps because he was afraid of the emperor's suspicion, he had to switch from Wu to Wen.

And Shi Zhongkui also knew that the decline of the family was inevitable.

After being rich for a long time, it is good to just focus on having fun and not doing evil.

He picked up a bow that looked like it should be a stone, but as soon as he started to use it, Shi Zhongkui knew it should be a bow.

With a sudden pull, everyone heard a 'click', and actually broke the bow directly.

Shi Huaiyong's pupils shrank. A person who can break a stone bow must have the strength of a thousand catties.

This is a direct pull, not a break with both hands, and the difficulty must be higher.

Turning around, he shouted to the butler, "Go get the three stone bow."

Soon a straight bow with a black body, obviously waxed and cared for many years, was sent over.

Shi Zhongkui was not too polite, took the bow and arrow, and was thinking whether to shoot a continuous arrow at the target 20 meters away, or to shoot the arrow through the straw target.

Suddenly, I saw a group of wild geese flying across the sky from the south to the north.

Without even thinking about it, he grabbed a long arrow, opened his bow and shot the arrow in one go.

Everyone saw that the wings of the geese headed by the geese were just about to incite and avoid, but the long arrows had already shot into the geese.

"Good archery."

Shi Huaiyong laughed loudly, and then hurriedly ordered someone to pick it up.

After hearing this, several servants hurried towards the direction where the wild goose fell.

Fortunately, Shan Guogong's mansion is big enough, so there is no need to go to other houses to pick it up.

At this moment, Shi Huaiji looked at Shi Zhongkui with deep admiration.

Shi Zhongkui took the opportunity to say, "Of course Huaiji wants to learn, but you have to memorize 50 words of Analects every day, and I will teach you as a teacher."

Shi Huaiji's face collapsed, Shi Zhongkui didn't say much, and grabbed three bows and arrows with four fingers.

He drew his bow and nocked his arrows again, only to hear two buzzing sounds, three arrows had already been inserted into the bullseye 20 meters away.

"Good skill," Shi Huaiyong exclaimed again, "Two sounds, but three arrows shot out. This is a real stunt on the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shi Zhongkui with bright eyes and asked, "Did Bo Qian worship a famous teacher?"

Shi Zhongkui said, "It's just a matter of studying and practicing at will."

Shi Huaiyong, who was immediately angry at these words, almost cursed.

There is no way to deceive a fool like you.

Shi Zhongkui didn't explain much, and asked Shi Huaiji with a smile, "This is called Lianzhu Arrow, does Huaiji want to learn it?"

Shi Huaiji froze for a few moments, then nodded hurriedly.

"Endorse the book."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Shi Huaiji who had a tangled face, and looked at Taiji who was in Yu Tongfu's arms.

But this little guy obviously has no interest in bows and arrows, Shi Zhongkui smiled, "There are still a lot of delicious food in the teacher's house, do you want Taiji?"

Yu Taiji was really attracted, Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "If you want to eat, after eating, you have to know what those foods are called.

If you learn how to write, then the teacher will reward you with a new kind of food, okay? "

Sure enough, Yu Taiji, who had no idea about reading and writing, was fooled by Shi Zhongkui just like that.

A few servants in the distance grabbed the geese and shouted with excitement on their faces, "Master, the arrow hit the geese in the heart."

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui shot an arrow through the heart of the wild goose, Shi Huaiyong burst out laughing.

In addition, everyone can see at this time that Shi Huaiji, a young master who is notoriously dislikes reading, has a tangled expression on his face.

In other words, Shi Huaiji was really hesitant to recite the Analects of Confucius at the moment.

The many servants of Duke Shanguo's mansion thought about Shi Zhongkui's methods and his identity as Duke Liuyuan, and suddenly felt that his young master couldn't beat him.

And whether it's practicing martial arts or writing, who can compare to Liu Yuangong who shoots down wild geese with one arrow, and who hits the bull's-eye with a string of arrows?

Thinking about it this way, the Shi family will surely be prosperous for several generations.

Waiting for a few generations to serve the people who serve the government of the state, isn't it just a few generations of people who can be stable?
If the servants of the Shi family saw Shi Zhongkui in fear and admiration before, then now they wish him well from the bottom of their hearts.

"What's so great about archery", Shi Huaiji muttered in a low voice, but Shi Zhongkui heard it without knowing it.

The result was naturally this boy, under Shi Zhongkui's reprimand of "ignorance and skill", he used a wooden stick with the thickness of his fingers to hit his buttocks five times firmly.

Hearing his grandson's wailing in pain, Shi Huaiyong clenched his fists several times, but he also knew that he couldn't succeed without fighting.

And since it is an apprenticeship, it is only natural for the teacher to beat the apprentice.

In addition, seeing Shi Zhongkui walking a few steps casually, he quickly circled behind Shi Huaiji.

This is a real secret skill. If he can learn this skill, then Huaiji will definitely live longer than others on the battlefield.

On the contrary, Shi Guangzhu didn't feel sorry for his son at all. Of course, this was also because Shi Zhongkui only hit Shi Huaiji's ass.

Yu Tongfu had known for a long time that Shi Zhongkui knew martial arts, so it was not surprising.

As for Yu Taiji, the little one is more afraid of Shi Zhongkui than his own mother at the moment.

Hit the big one, and the small one is naturally obedient, which is very reasonable.

So, being the eldest child is quite miserable.

By the time Shi Huaiji honestly agreed to endorse, the sky was already dark.

Shi Huaiyong took Shi Zhongkui's hand, "Let's go, let's go, Boqian is also tired all day, let's have a good drink tonight to relieve fatigue."

After the group of people walked back, Shi Huaiyong quietly asked the housekeeper to get medicinal wine for Shi Huaiji's eldest maid.

After drinking this time, Shi Huaiyong, Shi Guangzhu and his son no longer dared to mutter about getting Shi Zhongkui drunk.

Instead, after drinking two pots, he excused that he couldn't delay the matter, so he didn't serve the wine directly.

It was full of wine and food, and the sky was completely dark.

The father and son of the Shi family agreed to borrowing the soldiers, and even said that as long as he was willing, he would wait for a few days and pick any young man with martial arts at will.

It is no problem to go to hundreds of them at one time.

Of course, Shi Zhongkui wouldn't want so many young men to come all at once, it would be fine if he had a farm in his hand.

After all, apart from some of the guards guarding the master's mansion, the rest of the guards were originally looking forward to working as farm laborers.

Moreover, such farm laborers generally only pay 2% of the rent, and their lives are better than ordinary farm laborers.

Only when it is time for war will he put on his armor and go into battle with his master.

After solving the problems of the first batch of subordinates, of course they went home.

In the early morning of the second day, a eunuch really came to the door. After a tedious ceremony, they first went to the Dragon Head Palace, and then went to Jia's house to announce the decree.

The Supreme Emperor will be very interesting when he arrives. If he doesn't beg him, he won't see him either.

Shi Zhongkui was also happy to trouble the young master.

And no matter what, he never imagined that it would be like this when he came to Rongguo Mansion for the first time.

On the other hand, yesterday he was able to wear the scarlet number one scholar robe specially rewarded by the emperor, but today he can only wear the green robe official uniform of the sixth rank.

Fortunately, the official waist badge made of silver can always be hung on the waist.

As long as someone who understands the official rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty will know that this guy must be the number one scholar.

Otherwise, the silver medal can only be used by senior members of the third rank.

Others, all hung bronze medals.

As for the gold medal, according to the etiquette system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not everyone in the clan could wear it.

On the contrary, it is jade, as long as it does not violate the regulations in size, style and engraving, it can be worn casually.

"Sheng Yu."

Jia Mu, who was wearing a first-grade official uniform, and Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, who were wearing scarlet official robes, and Mrs. Wang, who also had an imperial order, hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

The servants of the Jia family had already knelt on the ground when Shi Zhongkui entered the main entrance.

As for Jia Baoyu, he didn't even have the qualifications to step forward.

Shi Zhongkui also don't want to see Yingchun and other girls who have not left the cabinet at this time.

When Jia Mu and others bowed down, he deliberately avoided, but he knew that he was representing the Supreme Emperor at this time.

But not avoiding it at all, it seems impolite.

After thinking for a while, he turned his body slightly to avoid Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng, and turned his body completely to Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, and then he spoke to announce the decree.

This move was immediately seen by the members of the Jia family from the corner of their eyes.

I can't help feeling very satisfied.

And the eunuch on the side also nodded slightly.

It seems that the champion is still polite.

The meaning of this imperial decree is only one, which is to make Yuanchun the Minister of Fengzao Palace, but the imperial decree was written in almost a hundred words.

After the decree was read out, the faces of Jiamu and other people who could understand classical Chinese were full of ecstasy.

At first he wanted to pull Shi Zhongkui and refuse to let him go, but when Shi Zhongkui looked at the expressions of this family, he knew that no one saw the crisis inside.

Sigh in my heart.

He bowed to Jia's mother, and then walked aside while holding Jia Zheng's hand amidst the astonished eyes of everyone in Jia's house.

Shi Zhongkui also wanted to deceive Jia Zheng's integrity.

"Does the government know the reason why people need foresight?"

Jia Zheng, who was always smiling, frowned when he heard this.

Shi Zhongkui pretended to be worried and sighed, "Looking at the government officials, they wear red robes, but there is not a single scholar with a reputation, and no one who serves in the army.

Wealth is more important now, and the tree attracts the wind, so we need to be cautious. "

Jia Zheng's expression changed drastically.

Then, in front of the members of the Jia family, he took a step back, cupped his hands at Shi Zhongkui, and bowed deeply, "Don't worry, Bo Qian, I will definitely restrain the members of the family."

"That's good." Shi Zhongkui hurriedly supported Jia Zheng, then took a step back, saluted and said with a smile, "I also want to congratulate Mr. Zheng, big sister's good deeds are coming, it can be said that the emperor's grace is mighty and incomparable."
