Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 129 One Word Changes

   In the examination stage, the selection of generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty is one less than the selection of civil officials in the Wenjue. Wen Ju must pass the four-fold selection of the academy examination, the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination, before the champion of the text can be selected;

   In terms of test content, Wuju has one more than Wenju, which is divided into outfield and infield. The outer field is the martial arts department, and the inner field is Mo Yi and policy questions from the Seven Books of Martial Arts. Only those who are qualified in both internal and external competitions can proceed to the next stage.

   After more than five months of practice, Jiang Erye can pass the test of riding, foot, flat, and weight-bearing. He also listened to Jiang Qiu's lecture on "The Seven Books of Martial Arts", and now he will start practicing Moyi and Cewen. Jiang Song collected infield problems from previous years and gave him several infield papers for him to practice.

It was the summer of June, and Jiang Liu, his fifth sister, Jiang Mujin and Xiaoshilang, were sitting under the shade of the tree in the courtyard of the study, holding a bowl of pear juice to cool off the heat, and looking at the father who was sitting in the window with the answer sheet, he really felt that father Now it's like sprinting to be yourself before the college entrance examination. She was stupid, so she took the entrance exam to a low-ranking university, and hoped that her father could successfully pass the martial arts exam this time.

   Jiang Liu took a sip of the sweet pear juice and sighed comfortably. No matter what Daddy's answer was, he was sitting upright while holding the pen and writing with his eyes down. He was really handsome. If Da Zhou had been awarded the top-ranking class in his physical appearance, her dad would definitely be able to pass it.

   Jiang Mujin took a sip of sweet water and whispered, "Shiro, Sixth Sister, do you know?"

Jiang Liu and Xiao Shilang both turned their heads to look at Fifth Sister, Jiang Mujin took another sip, wiped her mouth and whispered, "I heard from my father that there is also a physical appearance in the previous martial arts. Leaders' can be selected."

   "Huh?" Koishiro was surprised.

   "Eh—" Jiang Liu is sorry, if there is also an aspect of appearance in the Great Zhou election, her father will definitely come out on top in this one. It's a pity that my father was born more than a hundred or two hundred years ago.

   "Second Master finished writing?" In the house, Jiang Qiu, who was fanning the second master while "proctoring" the exam, asked softly.

Jiang Erye put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrists and shoulders, turned his head to Jiang Hou'er outside the window and said, "Bring me a bowl of pear juice too." It's all because of these three little guys that he didn't have the heart to write. .

   "Come on!" Jiang Hou'er ran out, took the pear pulp kept in the well and brought it to the second master, took the fan from Uncle Qiu's hand, and played a fan for the second master.

  The three little guys also entered the room and looked at Uncle Qiu eagerly.

   Jiang Qiu carefully read Jiang Erye's answer sheet and commented, "Second Master Mo Yi hits the point, but the question still lacks some enthusiasm..."

  Jiang Liu listened carefully to Uncle Qiu's explanation of where his father's policy was wrong.

"Moyi" is an elaboration of the content of the "Seven Classics of Martial Arts". Uncle Qiu presented the "Seven Classics of Martial Arts" for more than four months. Reasonable; "strategy question" is to discuss one's own military strategy according to the given topic. This is a level more difficult than Mo Yi, and it is reasonable that Daddy didn't answer well.

After listening to Jiang Qiu, Erye Jiang poured him a bowl of pear juice, and drank two bowls himself before saying, "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Soldiers are deceitful. The master sends beautiful women into the enemy's camp to poison them. , it can save a lot of troops and horses, why not?"

   Jiang Liu smiled, this strategy is very daddy.

   "I know, the second uncle used a beauty trick!" Jiang Shilang helped, and Jiang Mujin nodded.

   Uncle Qiu patiently explained to the second master, "The second master's plan is not impossible, but it is very hard to find a beautiful woman who has the courage to bring poison into the enemy's camp and successfully poison it..."

   "There are many such beauties on both sides of the Qingping River." Jiang Erye refused to accept it.

Uncle Qiu paused and pointed to the key points, "The chief examiner of Jingzhao Road Martial Arts Examination for undergraduates is Weiwei Siqing Gu Jinxiang, Master Gu was born in Wenju, and has been different from military and Confucianism since ancient times. Don't take risks."

   Jiang Erye pursed his lips, a little impatient.

  Jiang Liu licked his tongue, and asked, "Why - let - Lord Gu - be - the examiner?"

   Before Jiang Qiu opened his mouth, Jiang Erye said, "Because all the important errands in Weiwei Temple have been robbed by the Ministry of Industry, Gu Jinxiang has nothing to do and wants to get some oil and water."

   Jiang Qiu nodded, "Second Master has a unique eye, and his words are to the point."

   So I thought about Gu Jinxiang's level, in addition to better performance in the two internal and external games, I have to spend a lot of money? Jiang Liu understood.

   At this moment, Jiang Bao stepped forward quickly, "Second Master, Third Master Bai of Xiangyi Houfu is here."

   Jiang Erye stood up immediately, "Please!"

  Daddy wanted to see the guest, so Jiang Liu took the fifth sister and Xiaoshilang to retreat. Before they could leave the courtyard, Bai Xuan had already arrived, and the three little guys stood and saluted.

The tender-skinned Bai Zhou lightly pinched Jiang Liu's little face, "I haven't seen Liuer for a few months, and Liu'er is getting more and more fluent. Your father is not free. In a few days, the third uncle will go outside the city to escape the summer heat and let someone come. Take you to play together."

   Jiang Erye greeted him, "Where are you going to escape the heat?"

   "Go to the ten-acre lotus pond in the east of the city, and the younger brother will bring fresh lotus seeds to the second brother to go back to the fire." Bai Zhen smiled.

   That stuff is so delicious, Jiang Erye turned around and went back to the house. Bai Zhou followed up and laughed softly, "If the second brother doesn't like lotus seeds, how about the younger brother bring you a few budding lotus flowers to explain the language?"

   "What are you going to bring back, be a grass target?" Jiang Erye didn't want to enjoy flowers now, he raised his hand with his sleeves up, poured a bowl of pear pulp for Bai Zhen,

   "Second Brother Xie." Bai Xuan finished his drink and talked about the business of the trip, "My eldest brother asked my younger brother to spread the word. This year's martial arts competition has added a new class, and the list will be announced soon."

   Jiang Erye was startled, "What?"

Baixu explained, "Carbine. It is an earthen wall built on the school ground. There are four puppets standing on the wall holding wooden boards. Scholars ride horses through the wall. It is the next best, and a miss is the second.”

   Jiang Erye became discouraged when he heard this. It was so hard, he didn't even touch a gun.

  Jiang Qiu asked, "Old slave trembling. Dare to ask the third master, why is this subject added so suddenly?"

  Baizheng sighed, "I heard that the sage wants to select the best from this subject to fill the Qianniuwei."

   Jiang Qiu understood immediately. Qianniuwei was the emperor's personal guard, and was originally not popular in the martial arts examination. Because of the words of the sage, he immediately became a popular pastry for everyone to compete for. The reason for adding carbine is to raise the threshold of martial arts and reduce competitors. Because the only people who can practice carbine are soldiers or nobles!

  Bai Xuan saw that the second brother was discouraged, and quickly said with relief, "There are still more than a month before the colonel's field. My elder brother said that if the second brother is short of carbine experts, he can send someone here."

   Jiang Erye turned to look at Jiang Qiu, Jiang Qiu shook his head. Ren Jiagun is alone in the border town, so why bother others to teach the second master.

   Jiang Erye said, "Thank you for your kindness, Big Brother. The martial artist I hired in my house is also good at this. I will try it first. If it doesn't work, I will trouble Big Brother Bai."

  Bai Zhou felt that Jiang Er Ge was really different after listening to it. Encountering such a big difficulty, if it were left in the past, Jiang Er Ge would definitely retire, but he is still planning to take the test now. The accident of the Jiang family and the prosperity of the Meng family made life difficult for the second brother. Bai Xuan couldn't bear it, "Second brother, let's try it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my father to help us find an errand in Yulinwei. Let's go in for a few years. Even if we can't make it into a general, the captain will always be able to do it."

   If you want to enter the official position, in addition to the imperial examination, there is also a way of grace. Bai Xuan's father had a title of honor, so Bai Xuan did not need to study and practice martial arts, but he could also enter the office. If you say you're not envious, that's a lie. Jiang Erye asked, "Don't you want to get an outside job?"

  Bai Zhou grinned, "My little brother is just trying to be at ease. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to follow the second brother into Yu Lin Wei or Xiao Wei to ride a horse to eat meat?"

   It is justifiable for Bai Xuan to leave Enyin, but if he follows, he will cause trouble for people. Jiang Erye patted him on the shoulder and wanted him to lead, but he wouldn't add trouble to his good brother, "I'll try martial arts first, if it doesn't work, let's make plans."
