Chapter 97: Wen or Wu?
Chapter 97 Wen or Wu?
After Jiang Ling asked this, everyone at the table was stunned.
"Second uncle is in the top spot? That's impossible. Wen, the top and the martial arts are impossible!" Jiang Sanlang was the first to disagree. His mother said that the second uncle was worse than him when he was a child. possible.
"Master didn't even want to be the champion!" Jiang Erye stood up abruptly, almost overturning the table, "Brother, why do I have to study and not practice martial arts?"
Because Second Master Jiang's voice was too loud, all the female relatives who were eating in the back room heard it, they stopped their chopsticks and listened attentively. Jiang Liu suddenly had the feeling that his father fell into the pit and didn't climb out, and found a deeper trap in the pit.
It feels very bad.
Yeah, why? Jiang Song is also a little confused. But with so many people watching, the eldest in the family had to hold on to his aura. Jiang Song slapped his son and glared at his second brother, "What do you do when you stand up, eat first!"
"Oh." Jiang Erye sat down, turned his head to bite the small meat bun handed over by his son, and rolled his eyes.
After the meal, all the younger generation were driven away, and when only Jiang Mu, Jiang Pinglan, and the three Jiang brothers were left in the house, Jiang Erye began to shout again, "Mother, I want to practice martial arts and test martial arts!"
Jiang Erye is very self-aware. He doesn't expect Wu Zhuangyuan. Anyway, the big brother wants him to be in the middle. It doesn't matter whether he is a Wenjuren or a Wujuren!
Jiang Huai advised, "Second brother, practicing martial arts is very tiring."
"Reading is more tiring."
Jiang Pinglan said, "After winning the martial arts, the second brother will go to the military camp to lead troops and fight with the barbarians all day long. Can you bear it?"
“…tolerable.”
Thinking that her son was going to the battlefield, Mrs. Jiang felt that someone was going to dig her heart, "Although the world is peaceful now, if there is a barbarian attack, the soldiers will go out to kill the enemy and eat and sleep in the open air. It is not appropriate to eat and drink for two or three days. Your body can't take it anymore, you can't go, your mother won't allow it."
"I..." Jiang Erye was also a little discouraged when he thought of all the hardships of the battle. But on second thought, no!
"Wujuren don't have to go to the battlefield! The Yulin Guards on the edge of the city, the guards in the city, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities don't have to go to the battlefield!"
yes! Everyone turned to look at Jiang Song.
Jiang Song said with a beard, "Do you know what subjects in martial arts? Horse shooting, foot shooting, flat shooting, can you do these three?"
No, everyone shook their heads in unison, unless the target was enlarged to two feet square.
Jiang Erye refused to accept, "I can practice!"
"You've been practicing for more than 20 years, but you're still ten feet away from the target." Jiang Song spared no effort to attack the second brother.
"Big brother looks down on people, I am very close to the target now, and I will hit the target in a few days." Jiang Erye weakly pushed back.
"Even if you can hit the target with a flat shot, what about horse shooting and foot shooting? Even if you have practiced archery, you still have to study!" Jiang Song said incessantly, "In addition to martial arts, I also need to master "Martial Classics Seven" "Book", "Sun Tzu", "Wu Tzu", "Sima Fa", "Wei Liao Tzu", "Three Strategies of Huang Shi Gong", "Jiang Tai Gong Liu Tao" and "Tang Li Wen Pairs", Not to mention mastery of these seven classics, which one have you read?"
Jiang Erye heard the words, like a funeral examination, "Wuju also need to examine the scriptures and the policy questions? Why!"
"Just because the Great Ancestor said when he was on the throne, 'If you don't have a strategy, why should you lead an army'!"
After the eldest brother moved out of Zhou Taizu, Jiang Erye was desperate, "Brother, I also want to study hard and enter an official position, and honor the ancestors to avenge my father. I also studied hard with my eldest brother, but I really can't remember the poems and songs, and I'm dizzy. My brain is swollen, I can't sleep well, I can't eat, and I have more nightmares than Ling'er at night. You see, after three days, I'm already too weak, and I have to re-cut my spring clothes."
Mrs. Jiang heard that her son couldn't eat and sleep well, and after looking closely, she felt that her son was really thin, so she was anxious, "How can you do it if you don't eat and sleep well, go and invite Li Langzhong immediately!"
Jiang Pinglan also said, "Reading is exhausting, you will be like this in two or three days, how can you bear it in the long run."
Jiang Erye heard the words "Long time this way", and his eyes were full of water.
Jiang Huai couldn't stand the second brother's hard work, and whispered, "Big brother, my second brother and I are really not good at reading. We couldn't read well when we were young, let alone now. If my brother asked me to study, I would go crazy too. ."
Jiang Erye nodded again and again.
Jiang Song looked at the relatives in front of him and fell silent.
In the West Courtyard, the little three also sat around the table, discussing the possibility of their father taking martial arts exams. Jiang Liu thought it was impossible, Jiang Muyan didn't like daddy playing with guns and sticks, but Jiang Ling felt that this was a good way, "Father has been having nightmares these past few days, talking about 'what to fill here' and 'big brother don't hit me', After I practice martial arts, I can get a good night’s sleep.”
Ginger stay…
Brother, you're not doing it for your father's sake, but for your own good sleep, right? right!
Jiang Muyan suddenly asked, "Jiang Ling, your kung fu is very good, can you win the champion of martial arts?"
Jiang Ling nodded, "Yes."
"Then why do you still study?" Jiang Muyan asked again.
It's not that he wants to read. Uncle Qiu said that the court valued literature over military affairs, and that civilian officials could easily surpass military generals. If he wanted to avenge his father and save the people of Suzhou from water and fire, he must study and become an official. This can be said to my sister, but not to Jiang Muyan, she doesn't know anything.
Thinking that there are more secrets between himself and his sister than between their sisters, Jiang Ling's mood suddenly improved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Muyan did not give up, "You have been cold for ten years, can you be the champion?"
"I can!" Jiang Ling's eyes were burning.
"When the champion of civil and military affairs is different in the same year, why didn't you win the champion of martial arts together and become the first champion of both civil and military affairs in Da Zhou?" Jiang Muyan said again.
Jiang Liu was puzzled, "Brother-brother-there is-a-zhuang-yuan-just-enough-."
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "My sister knows why my aunt has not returned home for three years? It's because no one in our family can support her, and my uncle hates my aunt. If Jiang Ling can win two champions, after we get married, no one dares to bully us."
Jiang Liu was speechless again. My sister is only ten years old, why is her head full of dowry and marriage? What did my mother teach her when she was alive?
"Okay!" Jiang Ling decided, "I am the champion of Wenwu, who dares to bully my sister, I can't spare him!"
Ginger stay…
Jiang Muyan thought about it for a while, and then said, "If you win the double champion, when you walk across the street, you will definitely be a sensation in Kang'an City, and then many matchmakers will propose you a marriage. If your father can't afford the dowry and betrothal gifts, my sister and I can do it. help you out."
"No need." Jiang Ling pushed back coldly.
Jiang Liu was speechless again, "No-yes-is-said-daddy-daddy-?" Why did he ask who would come out with the betrothal money after his brother's marriage.
"Ling'er, Liu'er!" Jiang Erye rushed in like a gust of wind, "Dad doesn't need to study anymore, Daddy is going to take the martial arts exam, hahaha—"
Brother has become the champion of both civil and martial arts. You can't excel in writing, and you are not good enough in martial arts. Jiang said carefully.
Daddy like this, do you still expect him to give you a betrothal gift for your family business? Jiang Muyan pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Ling.
"Congratulations, father." Jiang Ling was very satisfied that he finally got a good night's sleep.
Thanks to book friend 6731 for the reward, the second one is sent today.
