Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 531 Turtle
It is said that the martial arts assessment project is held in the Jinwu Youwei camp on the north side of the imperial city.

As the organizer of the martial arts examination, Zhu Xiuyuan personally visited the examination room and inspected it.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiuyuan discovered an interesting thing. Niu Gang, who was five big and three thick, could actually write a pen with style.

When Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look, he was so obedient, Niu Gang was holding a brush in his hand, and he was not writing, but drawing a turtle.

There are all kinds of little turtles in various poses, the brushwork is immature, and the imagination is amazing. No matter how you look at it, there is a strong sense of joy and it makes people laugh.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan "forgot about it". In the examination room, in front of everyone, he held the table and laughed so much that he even bent over.

This laughter spread to the nearby Chinese army tent and was heard by Emperor Chen and his ministers.

Later, Chen Huang received a report and found out that it was Uncle Jiang Cheng who was acting recklessly.

Chen Huang immediately announced that he was here to see him.

At the same time, a certain group of ministers became more active and prepared to use "discourteous" as an excuse to read Jiang Chengbo's book.

After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan was brought in.

Emperor Chen and his ministers looked over quickly and saw Uncle Jiang Cheng, with trembling shoulders and panting, still suppressing a smile in a low voice, with a smile on his face and a little red.

"I... pay my respects to Your Majesty..."

Zhu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched from time to time. He was trying hard to suppress a smile.

It was extremely difficult for him to say the words of paying homage to Chen Huang.

"Zhu Aiqing, what are you doing?"

Chen Huang stood up, walked down, stood in front of Zhu Xiu, and looked at him up and down.

"Why are you laughing, my dear? If there is anything that makes you happy, you might as well tell me and let me and all your dear friends have fun."

Xu was infected by Zhu Xiuyuan, Chen Huang's face was originally solemn, but now he couldn't help but put on a smile.

On both sides of the big tent, there were hundreds of civil and military officials. Those ministers who were preparing to participate in Zhu Xiuyuan's book were silently preparing, preparing to choose a good time...

As for the rest of the ministers, they looked at each other, and at the same time they were curious, why are they laughing?Is it that funny?They all stared at Zhu Xiuyuan and listened to what he said.

"Your Majesty, there is an examinee..." Zhu Xiuyuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "He is on the paper... Your Majesty, I am rude, I am guilty, I can't help it, please punish me... Hahahahahaha...hahahahaha …”

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he didn't care about anything else. He leaned forward and backward, laughing so hard that his voice became hoarse.

Uh……

"My dear, why on earth? I grant you innocence. Tell me, if you can make me and all my dear friends laugh, not only will I not punish you, but I will also give you credit."

Chen Huang looked at Zhu Xiuyuan's laughing appearance. It seemed that the incident was very funny, and it strongly affected him, so the smile on Chen Huang's face became bigger and bigger.

And Chen Huang's words "I give you innocence" also made those active ministers feel cold and completely dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, I can't tell you. All you have to do is get the examinee's paper. Your Majesty will take a look at it and you will know what's going on." Zhu Xiuyuan tried his best to hold back his laughter.

"Okay, let's get it."

Following Emperor Chen's instructions, the two Jinwu guards left the tent.

After a while, Jin Wuwei returned, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Zhu Xiuyuan took the roll of paper. It was now folded in half and the contents on the paper could not be seen.

However, Huang Chen and the other ministers were all staring at it, Concubine You was curious, so she got up and stood side by side with Huang Chen, facing Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Your Majesty, this is the examinee's roll paper. Everyone else is filling in the words they heard on the roll paper, and this examinee..."

Zhu Xiuyuan unfolded the roll of paper, facing Chen Huang and You Guifei, and said: "He is holding a brush in his hand, but he didn't write on the paper, but... drew a bunch of little turtles."

The little turtles painted by Niu Gang have different postures and immature brushwork. Those brush and ink lines, when combined, are inexplicably able to make people laugh.

In addition, when Chen Huang saw Zhu Xiuyuan laughing all the time, he subconsciously thought that this was a very funny and interesting thing.

Therefore, when the roll of paper was unfolded and Chen Huang saw the little turtle painted on it, the "laughing tendon" in Chen Huang's body was severely poked, and a strong smile rushed through his body, urgently needed Find a vent.

"Hahahahaha..."

Then, Chen Huang started to laugh.

The laughter was hearty and unbridled, even more exaggerated than Zhu Xiuyuan's.

Because Chen Huang was always the emperor and was rich all over the world, the whole world could be said to be his home.

In your own home, you are naturally comfortable, and your laughter is more confident, more wanton, and more comfortable.

Beside Chen Huang, Concubine You was also amused.

However, Concubine You is a woman and a concubine after all, with a distinguished status, unlike Emperor Chen who laughs and leans forward and back.

This kind of laughter is tantamount to ruining one's appearance.

The great smile in her body actually only showed two parts, that is, she lowered her head slightly, bent her fingers and covered her mouth with her index finger, and smiled softly.

Then the remaining eight percent of her smile was tightly suppressed in her body.

This [-]% smile ran wildly in her body, causing her whole delicate body to tremble slightly.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood opposite her, and with a casual glance, the waves were so majestic, like the waves crashing on the shore, that it seemed to be able to suffocate people to death. It was so terrifying that Zhu Xiuyuan quickly looked away.

Concubine You seemed to feel something was wrong and turned her back. All she could see was that her shoulders were shaking wildly, and she was obviously still laughing.

Zhu Xiuyuan held both sides of the scroll with both hands, showed it to Emperor Chen and Concubine You, and then turned his body on the spot to show it to the civil and military ministers on both sides.

The strange brushwork and the weird little turtle posture strongly made the ministers laugh.

In addition, Chen Huang had already taken the lead and was laughing there.

As courtiers, they no longer need to cover up, they can just laugh.

Even the minister who was indifferent to the little turtle on the roll had to follow the crowd at this moment and fake smile, but when he smiled and thought of other interesting things in his mind, the fake smile turned into a real smile.

For a time, in the entire Chinese army tent, the emperor and his ministers laughed together, leaning forward and back, as if they were poisoned.

Even the usually steady veterans, such as Prime Minister Li Zhong, King Zhongshan, and Yang Tingyu, looked up to the sky and laughed, causing the white beards under their chins to tremble.

……

Temporary examination room.

"King, king's king!"

The eunuch held the booklet in both hands, moved slowly, raised his head and raised his voice, loudly read the word "王" and made up the word "王lord" to make it easier to understand.

As soon as the words fell, more than a hundred martial arts candidates began to write, looking down at the roll of paper, writing very seriously.

Apart from those rough guys, Niu Gang was the only one who had any abnormalities because his rolls of paper were taken away.

Niu Gang is tall and thick, and his desk and chair look too small. Anyway, he is uncomfortable sitting on this chair.

While everyone was writing, Niu Gang gently moved his buttocks, preparing to change into a more comfortable sitting position.

However, in the eyes of Niu Gang, it is "gently", but in the eyes of others, it is "clang".

The movement of his buttocks caused the chair to drag on the ground, making a harsh friction sound.

This huge sound instantly shocked everyone present.

The candidates, the eunuchs who were reading, and the Jinwu guards patrolling the examination room all turned to stare at Niu Gang with unkind eyes.

Niu Gang turned a blind eye to other people's eyes, but he also knew that he was in trouble, so he immediately turned his head and looked at his eldest brother Han Qingshan.

Sure enough, Han Qingshan was also looking at him, his eyes were very dissatisfied, with a sharp and stern look, which was very scary.

Niu Gang's big face, which looked like a washbasin, was covered with "weeds" and was very rough. But facing Han Qingshan's eyes, Niu Gang grinned, with a sense of admitting his mistake and trying to please him.

Han Qingshan snorted secretly, withdrew his gaze, picked up his pen and continued writing the word.

Niu Gang was very depressed, as if he was being restrained. Sitting on this chair, he felt unhappy. He had no choice but to turn his big head left and right, looking around to relieve his boredom.Suddenly, bursts of laughter came from the direction of the Chinese army's tent.

This kind of laughter, like rolling waves, is continuous, coming one after another, exaggerated and unscrupulous.

Ok?
The candidates in the temporary examination room immediately understood what was going on.

Just now, after Jiang Chengbo saw the big black roll, he helped the table and laughed endlessly.

Later, two Jinwu guards came and took away the roll of paper from the big black guy, and then bursts of laughter came from the Chinese army tent...

Han Qingshan naturally knew what was going on, his face was dull.

He, the third younger brother, could obviously write hundreds of common words, but in the end he had to draw a little turtle on a roll of paper.

Not only Uncle Jiang Cheng knew about it, but now even Emperor Chen and other civil and military officials also saw this big joke...

Han Qingshan felt embarrassed in front of the world.

This feeling is not very good. He is known as a versatile man in both civil and military affairs... Thinking of this, Han Qingshan couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at his third brother again.

At this moment, Niu Gang also turned his head and looked over. The two brothers looked at each other, and Han Qingshan's eyes almost burst into flames.

Niu Gang was startled and quickly looked away, not daring to look at his elder brother again.

……

After a long time.

Chinese army tent.

Emperor Chen and his ministers slowly stopped laughing.

Chen Huang had already sat back in his seat, leaning on the back of the chair, smiling with a rosy face and panting.

Concubine You Gui and all the ministers are in the same situation, and some ministers even lay down on the ground...

"My dear, who is this candidate, and why is he so interesting?" Chen Huang's face was rosy with excitement, but he was finally able to speak.

"Your Majesty, this person's name is Niu Gang. Your Majesty saw him in the stands of the martial arts school the day before yesterday." Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said.

"Hmm... Niu Gang, I still have some impressions, haha, interesting, interesting. I liked his temperament at that time, haha, but I didn't expect that this boy has the temperament of a child, which is rare."

"That's right." Chen Huang suddenly said: "This Niu Gang, drawing little turtles on roll paper is certainly interesting and gives me a rare pleasure. But he should not be able to participate in the second show, right?"

"Your Majesty, it is true. The condition for passing the first dictation is to write thirty words correctly."

"Well... let's do it this way. I have given him a gift from Niu Sang, allowing him to pass the first game and join the second game of Gestalt... fill in the blanks and let's see what happens to him."

"Your Majesty is the most respected person in the world. Since your Majesty has opened his mouth, I should obey it." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

To be honest, he also wanted to see what kind of tricks this bull could play in the second round of cloze.

……

As soon as the news came out that Niu Gang had passed the first dictation session, many people were dumbfounded.

And this kind of operation?

However, it is said that this was the Golden Mouth opened by Emperor Chen, and Niu Gang passed through it.

Those who did not write or did not write the correct thirty characters were dismissed, but now, after hearing the news, they did not dare to feel jealous or resentful.

At the end of the first dictation session, more than a hundred people participated, but only fifty people passed in the end.

Soon, the second "cloze" game began.

More than fifty candidates were seated, and the paper rolls were being distributed.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Xiuyuan explained as usual: "Your Majesty, the so-called cloze is to subtract three or five words from a common saying or a classic sentence from a book, leaving a blank space. The examinee connects the upper and lower parts of the sentence and fills in the correct words. words to make it a smooth sentence.”

"Well, Aiqing, this method is also very good." Emperor Chen nodded and praised, "In the first round of dictation, we screened out people who can read a few big characters and are proficient in writing. Now in this cloze, we can screen out the ones among them. Well-educated man! Wonderful, the method of loving your beloved is truly wonderful!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. There are fifty questions in total for this cloze test. Those who answer forty questions correctly will be considered successful and can participate in the next round of 'battle case analysis'."

"Okay..." Chen Huang pondered for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, "I don't know how Niu Gang will fill it out. I'm really looking forward to it, hahaha..."

Hearing what Emperor Chen said, the civil and military officials in the court, including Concubine You, all smiled.

The laugh just now was really enjoyable.

If they could do it again, they would naturally look forward to it.

Zhu Xiuyuan was the organizer of the martial arts examination, so he left the Chinese army tent and came to the temporary examination room on the pretext of "taking a tour" to prepare for a "sneak peek."

Half of the tables and chairs in the temporary examination room were removed, making it look much emptyer.

In the examination room, there were only more than 50 candidates writing furiously.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked over calmly and glanced at the Jinwu guards patrolling the examination room. He turned his head and locked eyes with Niu Gang.

I saw Niu Gang, with his huge body, lying on the desk and chair that seemed a bit small. It looked uncoordinated, but Niu Gang was holding a brush in his hand, and he seemed to be writing vigorously?

Zhu Xiuyuan just stepped up, ready to walk over to take a peek.

However, his heart suddenly moved, and his footsteps stopped again.

It's just the beginning now. I guess Niu has just started. If you laugh at him now, I'm afraid it will discourage him.

Let him continue writing...

Zhu Xiuyuan, who was already worried, turned his eyes again, preparing to see how other people answered the questions.

Zhu Xiuyuan moved slowly and came to Han Qingshan's table first.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a quick look and saw that the handwriting was neat and majestic. It was simply a work of calligraphy.

Moreover, the characters written by Han Qingshan were completely correct, without any mistakes or omissions.

Han Qingshan seemed to feel something, and raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan.

A smile appeared on Zhu Xiuyuan's face and he encouraged him.

Later, Zhu Xiuyuan came to Lin Bochang's table.

Yu Wenyi, Lin Bochang sent Han Qingshan at 01:30.

Lin Bochang's brush calligraphy can only be said to be acceptable, and the writing is not ugly. Compared with Han Qingshan's calligraphy works, it is still very different.

Zhu Xiuyuan also carefully looked at his answers to the questions. Well, it seemed that he had made one or two mistakes...

After encouraging Lin Bochang with his eyes, Zhu Xiuyuan came to Huang Zhigao's table again.

Huang Zhigao's calligraphy skills and answering questions were far behind Lin Bochang's.

Then there is Wu Shaoguang. Well, contrary to expectations, Wu Shaoguang's calligraphy and answering skills seem to be better than Lin Bochang's.

Then Zhu Li, Zhu Li's situation was worse than Huang Zhigao's.

Then...hey, isn't there another Liu Anping?

Why didn't you see him?

After feeling strange for a while, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly figured out that this Liu Anping was no better dressed than a beggar, and he was also older. He should have been rejected in the first round of dictation.

After looking at everyone, Zhu Xiuyuan walked around a few more times and saw that many people had finished answering the fifty questions. Zhu Xiuyuan guessed that Niu Gang had also finished writing.

So, Zhu Xiuyuan was excited and walked towards Niu Gang.

Han Qingshan had been paying attention to Zhu Xiuyuan's movements. When he saw Zhu Xiuyuan walking towards Niu Gang, his heart trembled.
