Chapter 2521: Liyuan Competition!
Chapter 2521: Liyuan Competition! (Seeking monthly votes!)
Wang Yue was only slightly surprised that Zhao Jian, a woman of the royal family, actually came to Luoyang. He was more curious about why Li Shouhua asked him to come here?
So, he asked very politely, "Miss Li, what is the matter that you asked me to come here?"
Li Shouhua had actually been observing Wang Yue. She found that after Wang Yue heard that Zhao Jian was a royal family member, he was not shocked at all. He was very shocked in his heart, and he did not have the cowardice of ordinary people.
From this we can see that Wang Yue either came from a very good family, otherwise it would not be like this.
Li Shouhua was about to observe for a while, but ended up meeting Wang Yue's inquiring eyes. She knew it would be awkward if she continued to stare at him, so she went straight to the point and asked, "Master Wang, who is the young man we were chatting so well with in the guest house?"
Wang Yue saw that Li Shouhua was indeed interested in this, so she smiled and said, "He, if there are people with books among your relatives and friends, you must have heard of him.
His surname is Ouyang, his given name is Xiu, and his family is very good. His father was a judge, and his uncle is still an official. It's just that he was unlucky in the first two exams, so I think he will pass the exam soon."
When Li Shouhua heard this, he looked behind the screen helplessly, feeling that with such an identity, it would be difficult for his sister to get in touch with him.
After all, the children of officials pay the most attention to marriage. Girls from small merchants like them can only become concubines at most.
So, Li Shouhua stopped asking about Ouyang Xiu and asked with a smile, "So that's how it is. I saw that you and Master Ouyang were talking happily. I wonder why you didn't go with Master Ouyang?"
Wang Yue was a little surprised why Li Shouhua suddenly stopped the discussion and started asking about his whereabouts. He glanced at Li Shouhua and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he pretended to be very helpless and tried to test, "Brother Ouyang is a free and easy person. He may want to play around here. If I want to leave, I'm afraid I have to wait until my clothes are dry. So, I may have to bother him for a day or two."
Li Shouhua didn't know that Wang Yue was testing her. After hearing what Wang Yue said, she directly explained her thoughts and said very awkwardly, "Master Wang, you are being polite. Actually, I have a difficult matter. Please explain it to me."
Wang Yue didn't know what Li Shouhua was planning, so he asked curiously, "Miss, please tell me."
Li Shouhua said frankly, "To be honest with you, Master Wang, we sisters are here, and it may be inconvenient for you to stay here permanently.
Secondly, my four sisters and I have come to the manor to play this time and we will be leaving tomorrow, so it is really inconvenient to entertain guests."
Wang Yue was speechless after hearing this. He didn't expect to be disliked. But after thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on.
Since Wang Yue was so familiar with Ouyang Xiu, Li Shouhua must have felt that his identity must be extraordinary and their Li family probably couldn't afford to offend him.
If Wang Yue stayed in the homes of the girls like this, it would definitely lead to gossip. Then the girls in the Li family would not have to get married and would only be able to become Wang Yue's concubines.
After Wang Yue figured it out, he smiled and said, "In that case, after I buy the clothes, I will stay at the White Horse Temple temporarily. If Brother Ouyang comes to look for it, I will need Erbao to help lead the way."
He was not joking, because nowadays many temples allow sponsorship, but you just need to give some incense money.
It just so happened that Wang Yue had no shortage of money. He donated a few taels of silver and stayed in the temple for three or two days, waiting for Ouyang Xiu to help him with his household registration.
When Madam Li heard that Wang Yue was willing to leave, she felt relieved. She didn't say anything more and just picked up the teacup.
Wang Yue understood that this was a gift of tea to see the guest off, so he just stood up and said goodbye.
However, just as Wang Yue walked out of the house, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Zhao Jian.
When Zhao Jian saw Wang Yue looking back at her in confusion, she asked solemnly, "Master Wang, I see that your martial arts skills are very strong. I wonder if you can spar with me?"
Wang Yue didn't expect that this little girl was so fond of martial arts, so he smiled and said, "Of course, no problem, but it's probably not very convenient for us to practice martial arts alone in someone else's house."
Li Shouhua just happened to come out at this time. She felt that it was not a good idea to chase people away. After all, it was too offensive.
After hearing what Wang Yue said, Li Shouhua immediately said, "Since you two are so interested, I know a place that is very suitable for you two to compete."
Zhao Jian was still struggling with where to find Wang Yue to spar with him. After hearing what Li Shouhua said, he asked happily, "In that case, I'll trouble you, sister."
Seeing that Zhao Jian had said so, Wang Yue no longer refused. After all, the White Horse Temple was not far away and he could go there anytime.
She followed Li Shouhua and Zhao Jian, accompanied by two servants, and soon arrived at the west side of the yard.
……
The Li family's house was originally at the entrance of the village, and to the west of the village was a large pear orchard.
The Pear Garden is quite large. With the special arrangements made by several girls from the Li family, there is not only a row of simple pavilions in the depths, but also a huge open space which is separated by a fence.
Wang Yue saw no signs of weeds in the open space, so he realized that people often came here to play.
When the four younger sisters of the Li family heard that their elder sister was taking people to the Pear Garden to practice swordplay, they hurried out, wanting to take the opportunity to watch the fun.
Zhao Jian also liked this courtyard very much when she saw it, so she excitedly took out two bamboo poles, cut one of them with her sword, and then threw one to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue took it casually and made a gesture of invitation. Zhao Jian was not polite either and attacked him waving the bamboo pole.
The two of them started to spar with each other in front of Li Shouhua.
It's called a discussion, but it's more like guidance.
At the beginning, Zhao Jian thought that his martial arts skills were very good, and the reason why he suffered a disadvantage by the river was entirely because the river was slippery.
But after the fight this time, Zhao Jian discovered that Wang Yue seemed extremely powerful, more powerful than all the masters she had ever seen.
After fighting with Zhao Jian for dozens of rounds, Wang Yue had become familiar with Zhao Jian's swordsmanship and began to use Zhao Jian's swordsmanship, constantly correcting Zhao Jian's sword moves.
Zhao Jian's swordsmanship was originally taught by a famous teacher, and she herself was very satisfied with her learning process. However, after Wang Yue's improvements, she suddenly found that her swordsmanship seemed to have become more smooth and smooth.
Although it is still the same set of sword techniques, after this modification, it at least becomes both powerful and versatile, unlike before, which was more about attack and less about defense.
Zhao Jian's dream was to achieve great things like a man. So she thought that if she could become Wang Yue's apprentice, she might have a chance to be crowned king or prime minister.
After all, Wang Yue's martial arts and talent were too terrifying. So, Zhao Jian waited until Wang Yue stopped changing her moves, and took advantage of the opportunity to distance herself, stopped swinging the sword in her hand, saluted Wang Yue solemnly, and said,
"Master Wang, I want to be your disciple. Please agree to this!"
After listening to this, Wang Yue weighed the pros and cons and felt that it might be possible to agree to it.
The girl's surname is Zhao and she is a royal relative. It would be beneficial for Wang Yue to accept her as his disciple.
Of course, precisely because they are royal relatives, there are some influences!
However, those impacts are nothing to Wang Yue. As long as he can solve the current troubles, everything else will be easy.
Therefore, Wang Yue said very seriously, "You must understand that once you become a teacher, you are a father for life. Are you sure you want to become my disciple?"
After hearing this, Zhao Jian cared even less. His own father couldn't control him, let alone his master.
So, she simply knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Disciple Yuanzhen greets the master, please accept me as your disciple!"
Seeing Zhao Jian's persistence, Wang Yue smiled and helped him up, then said with a smile, "In that case, today I will formally accept you as my apprentice. I will first teach you a set of sword techniques, and you must practice diligently.
After you learn it, I will teach you more advanced sword techniques."
As he said this, he took the branch and performed the Si Gu Jian sword technique.
The reason why Wang Yue chose this set of swordsmanship was entirely because this swordsmanship was more or less similar to the swordsmanship Zhao Jian had used before, and Zhao Jian would be able to learn it faster.
Zhao Jian fell in love with this sword technique after just watching it once.
Because this sword technique is equivalent to an upgraded version of Zhao Jian’s previous sword technique after being modified by Wang Yue, and it has been improved several times.
Therefore, Zhao Jian knew that Wang Yue was really sincere, so she quickly bowed to Wang Yue again. This time she was much more sincere than the last time.
After the ceremony, she said very respectfully, "Thank you, Master. I will practice hard and live up to your expectations."
Wang Yue smiled and nodded, "In that case, you should practice well."
After hearing Wang Yue's instructions, Zhao Jian couldn't wait to practice. She wanted to strengthen her memory while it was still fresh.
Of course Wang Yue did not leave immediately. After helping Sister Zhao correct a few mistakes, he nodded with satisfaction.
Judging from Wang Yue's experience, Zhao Jiantian is quite intelligent and has a great talent for learning swordsmanship. No wonder a girl doesn't want to get married.
I'm afraid that in this girl's eyes, no one is worthy of her.
Wang Yue saw Zhao Jian practicing like this, so he turned around and looked at Madam Li, and suddenly asked, "Miss Li, I wonder if this Lihua Courtyard can be lent to us for a few days? I want to learn swordsmanship here, after all, it may not be convenient at the White Horse Temple."
Li Shouhua had truly witnessed Wang Yue's martial arts at this moment. She felt that Zhao Jian, who was already very powerful, was simply too ordinary in front of Wang Yue.
Li Shouhua already regretted wanting to chase the person away earlier. After all, it would be beneficial for them to make friends with such a person.
The reason why she had driven Wang Yue out before was entirely because the timing of Wang Yue's appearance was too suspicious, and it was certainly not convenient for the female members of the family to keep him.
Now that Wang Yue wanted to stay in this simple polo field, it would have no impact on the Li family, so she had no intention of refusing.
But this place is not very convenient for living, so Li Shouhua said uncertainly, "Master Wang, are you sure you want to stay here? You know, it's not only drafty here, but there are probably a lot of mosquitoes."
Wang Yue shook his head and said nonchalantly, "If I were alone, I could go to the White Horse Temple to stay, but as a disciple, I can't. So please, Madam Li, I can pay the rent."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and threw it to Madam Li.
Madam Li took it in a hurry, and found that it was a silver ingot of at least ten taels. She did not refuse and agreed directly.
But at the same time, she felt a little sad that such a good favor was wasted like this.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood and immediately told Erbao to stay by Wang Yue's side and serve him for the next two days, and that he could get anything he needed from the Li family manor.
After Li Shouhua made the arrangements, she took her sisters with her.
After Le Shan, the youngest of the Li family, had walked away, he asked uncertainly, "Sister, our family doesn't lack money, why did you accept the money from that man? Isn't it good to let him owe me a favor?"
Miss Li San Kang Ning rubbed her little sister's hair and said helplessly, "It's not so easy to owe favors. Just don't bring us trouble. Besides, we took the wrong path before, so this favor is already very insignificant."
Seeing that her sisters were not happy, Lady Li Si smiled and said, "This is also good. We are not deliberately close, but we are not distant either. If we need to beg for help in the future, we still have some face."
After hearing this, Li Leshan said with some regret, "Actually, I originally wanted to learn swordsmanship from Yuan Zhen, but now after seeing Master Wang's swordsmanship, I also want to learn from Master Wang.
It's a pity that my family consists of only women, so it's not convenient to entertain men. Otherwise, I would definitely stay and learn."
Madam Li, the second and third madams looked at each other. They thought that the younger sister's idea was quite good and there seemed to be room for maneuver.
But some things need to be discussed clearly. They have to go back to the town to see their mother and discuss it with her properly.
Wang Yue didn't know that Li Jialeshan also wanted to become his disciple. He felt that since he had accepted a disciple, he would not live in the White Horse Temple anymore.
He planned to stay here for one night, and then travel around with Zhao Jian the next day, while thinking about what to do next.
As a result, after Li Shouhua left with his sisters, he asked Erbao to help move in two beds, and added a few curtains between the corridors of the stands, placing the beds on both sides.
Wang Yue was thinking that the master and disciple could just stay far apart at night, and he wouldn't have to worry about mosquitoes anyway.
