Chapter 97 Wen or Wu?
After Jiang Ling asked this, everyone at the table was stunned.
"The second uncle won the top scorer? That's impossible. The top scorer in literature and martial arts is impossible!" Jiang Sanlang was the first to dissatisfied. His mother said that his second uncle was worse than him when he was a child. Jiang Sanlang felt that he could not win the top scorer, and of course, it was impossible for him to win the second uncle.
"I didn't want to take the top scorer!" Mr. Jiang stood up and almost overturned the table, "Brother, why do I have to study and not practice martial arts?"
Because Mr. Jiang Er's voice was too loud, the female family members who were eating in the inner room heard it, stopped chopsticks and listened to it. Jiang Liu suddenly felt like his father had fallen into the pit and had not crawled out, but he found a deeper trap in the pit.
It feels very bad.
Yes, why? Jiang Song was a little confused. But as many people watched, the eldest son had to hold on to his aura. Jiang Song slapped his son and glared at his second brother, "What are you doing when you stand up and have dinner first!"
"Oh." Mr. Jiang Ershou sat down, turned his head and bit the small meat bag handed over by his son, and his eyes rolled around.
After the meal, the younger generation was driven away, and only Jiang’s mother was left in the house, Jiang Pinglan and the three brothers of the Jiang family, Jiang Erye began to shout again, “Mom, I want to practice martial arts and take the exam for martial arts scholars!”
Mr. Jiang is very self-knowledgeable. He doesn’t expect the top scholar in martial arts. Anyway, the eldest brother wants him to pass the imperial examination, regardless of whether he is a literary scholar or a military scholar!
Jiang Huai advised, "Second brother, I'm very tired when practicing martial arts."
“Reading is even more tiring.”
Jiang Pinglan said, "After being beaten by the Wu Juren, my second brother will go to the military camp to lead troops. He will work with the barbarians all day long. Can you bear it?"
“…can bear it.”
Thinking of her son going to the battlefield, Mrs. Jiang felt that someone was going to pierce her heart. "Although the world is now peaceful, if a barbarian attacks, the soldiers will have to go out to fight and kill the enemy and sleep in the open. If you eat and drink for two or three days, your body will not be able to stand it. You can't go, and your mother won't be allowed."
"I..." Mr. Jiang Er was also a little relieved when he thought about the various hardships of the battle. But then he thought, it was wrong!
"The martial juren doesn't have to go to the battlefield! The Yulin Guards on the edge of the city, the gatekeepers in the city, and the military commanders in the five cities do not have to go to the battlefield!"
Yes! Everyone turned to look at Jiang Song.
Jiang Song stroked his beard and said, "Do you know what subjects are there in martial arts? Horse shooting, step shooting, and flat shooting, can you do these three items?"
No, everyone shook their heads together, unless the target was enlarged to two meters square.
Mr. Jiang was dissatisfied, "I can practice!"
"You have been practicing for more than 20 years, but you are still ten feet away from the target." Jiang Song spared no effort to attack his second brother.
"Brother looked down on people. I am very close to the target now. I will be able to hit the target in a few days." Mr. Jiang weakly pushed back.
"Even if the flat shooting energy hits the target, horse shooting and step shooting? Even if you practice archery well, you still have to read!" Jiang Song said endlessly, "In addition to martial arts, our martial arts scholars, we also have to understand the classics and strategies of the "Seven Books of Martial Arts". "Sunzi", "Wuzi", "Sima Fa", "Yi Liaozi", "Three Layouts of Huangshi Gong", "Jiang Taigong Six Strategies" and "Tang Li Wentong". Not to mention being proficient in these seven classics, which have you read?"
When Mr. Jiang heard this, he felt like he had lost his parents. "The martial arts exam requires the principles and principles to be examined? Why!"
"Just because Taizu said when he was in power, 'How can he lead a army without strategy'!"
After the eldest brother moved out of Zhou Taizu, Jiang Erye was desperate, "Brother, I also want to study hard and become an official, and Guangzong Yaozu avenge his father. I also studied hard with my elder brother, but I really can't remember these poems, lyrics, songs and essays. I was dizzy, couldn't sleep well, and couldn't eat. I made more nightmares at night than Ling'er. Look, after these three days, I've been so weak that I'm going to be able to cut my spring outfits."
When Mrs. Jiang heard that her son couldn't eat and couldn't sleep well, she looked carefully and felt that her son was really thin. She immediately became anxious, "How can he not eat and sleep well? Go and invite Doctor Li immediately!"
Jiang Pinglan also said, "Reading is exhausting. You will be like this in two or three days. How can you bear it if you continue to do so?"
When Mr. Jiang Er’s eyes were filled with water when he heard the four words “Forever I will last.”
Jiang Huai couldn't stand the second brother's hard work, and whispered, "Brother, my second brother and I are really not a good student. We couldn't read well when we were young, let alone now. If my brother asked me to study, I would be crazy."
Mr. Jiang nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Song looked at the relatives in front of him and was silent.
In the west courtyard, the mistress also sat around the table to discuss the possibility of his father taking the martial arts exam. Jiang Liu felt it was impossible, Jiang Muyan didn't like his father playing guns and sticks, but Jiang Ling felt that this was a good way. "My father has always had nightmares these days, saying 'What are you filling in here', 'Brother, don't hit me,' and you can have a good sleep after practicing martial arts."
Jiang Liu...
Brother, you are not for the good of your father, but for the good sleep of yourself, right? Yes!
Jiang Muyan suddenly asked, "Jiang Ling, your kung fu is very good. Can you win the top martial arts scholar?"
Jiang Ling nodded, "Yes."
"Then why do you still have to study?" Jiang Muyan asked again.
It’s not that he wants to study. Uncle Qiu said that the court values martial arts and over literature, and civil officials can easily overtake military generals. If he wants to avenge his father and save the people of Suzhou from the fire of water and fire, he must study and become an official and be appointed as the prime minister. This can be said to his sister, but he cannot tell Jiang Muyan, and she knows nothing.
Thinking that there were more secrets between him and his sister than between them, Jiang Ling suddenly felt better and smiles appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Muyan didn't give up, "Can you win the top scorer after ten years of hard work?"
"I can!" Jiang Ling's eyes were burning.
"The top scholars in civil and military affairs were different in the same year. Why didn't you win the top scholar in the martial arts and become the first two top scholar in civil and military affairs in the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Jiang Muyan said again.
Jiang Liu was puzzled, "Brother, one, a case of a senator."
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "Sister knows why my aunt has not returned home for three years? It is because no one in our house can support her, and my uncle hates her. If Jiang Ling can win two top scorers, no one dares to bully us after we get married."
Jiang Liu was speechless again. My sister was only ten years old, so why was her head full of dowry and getting married? What did her mother teach her when she was alive?
"Okay!" Jiang Ling decided, "I am the top scholar in civil and military exams. Who dares to bully my sister? I can't spare him!"
Jiang Liu...
Jiang Muyan thought for a while and said, "If you win the double top scorer, you will definitely make a sensation in Kang'an City when you parade on horseback. Then many matchmakers will propose marriage to you. If your father can't afford the bride price and betrothal gift, my sister and I can help you."
"No need." Jiang Ling pushed back coldly.
Jiang Liu was speechless again, "No, is it said, daddy?" Why did he get the bride gift money after his brother's marriage?
"Ling'er, Liu'er!" Mr. Jiang rushed in like a gust of wind, "Dad doesn't need to study anymore, Dad is going to take the Wu Juren, hahaha--"
My brother has become the top scorer of both civil and military talents. If you can’t pass the imperial examination, it’s a big deal for the military scholar. Jiang Liuxin said.
Dad is like this, do you still expect him to earn a fortune for you? Jiang Muyan pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Ling.
"Congratulations to my father." Jiang Ling was very satisfied with finally being able to have a good night's sleep.
