Wang Ling was only twelve years old, and he was proficient in all kinds of swords and sticks, and even violated the laws of physics. He walked dozens of steps on the upright wall, which showed that he was a martial arts genius.

When Wang Lingzhi performed, he walked to Chen Xi without blushing and was proud and said, "Senior Brother, how do you think I'm practicing? Is there anything to give me some advice?"

Chen Xi took a deep breath. He had never thought about the things he used to fool Wang Lingzhi. This friend really learned it in a straightforward way. How much patience and perseverance does this require?

"You have learned martial arts well."

Chen Xi first expressed his affirmation, and then changed the subject, "But is there any waste in your study?"

Wang Lingzhi's face suddenly became ugly: "Senior brother, don't mention it. Those things are the ones. I'm the most annoying on weekdays, but my father always asks me to study, so I'm lazy. Anyway, he's busy now and has no time to care about me. Those gentlemen who come to teach, I'll beat me until they don't dare to care about me."

Chen Xi raised his face and said, "What, you dare to hit sir?"

"No, I just taught them a lesson. Yes, I just taught them a little. Using bricks is not bricks, how do you say it in the words of senior brother? Yes, it is a brick. I used the bricks to smash them a few times."

Chen Xi felt a chill.

What kind of student is this? If you don’t study hard, you just like to take "physical education classes". How dare you punish the teacher with a brick? If it spreads, the reputation of the Wang family will be damaged, but it is the child’s bad. I think those gentlemen turn a blind eye to the point of making money and just live by the way, allowing Wang Lingzhi to skip classes and practice martial arts.

Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it seems that you will not have the fate of becoming an official in the imperial examination in the future."

Wang Lingzhi pulled Chen Xi's sleeve and said, "Senior Brother, teach me some new martial arts. What you taught before, I'm learning it thoroughly now. Recently, I'm still studying what you mentioned."

Chen Xi smiled bitterly: "You are more capable than me now, so where can I teach you?"

"Senior brother, take me to see the master. Let the master teach me personally. Senior brother, you are so capable, the master must be a more capable person. If Senior brother thinks I am not qualified, you can test me. If you can't learn new martial arts now, I will be so anxious."

Facing a young man who was so enthusiastic about martial arts, Chen Xi was speechless. He could not tell Wang Lingzhi that he made up his master and martial arts. This would shatter the dream of a young man and would have a huge blow to Wang Lingzhi.

"Can you ride a horse?" Chen Xi asked suddenly.

"horse riding?"

Wang Lingzhi was obviously stunned, "My father also said before that I can learn riding a horse when I am older. But I always feel that it is inconvenient to practice martial arts on the back? I can't use my skills in fist."

Chen Xi finally found a breakthrough and smiled relievedly, "Junior brother, you are wrong. You can't practice martial arts in vain. No matter how you go on a martial arts world in the future, you will be brave and righteous. If you are fighting for the country, how can you not ride a horse? Those heroes in the book and famous generals in history are not skilled in bows and horses? You can't just know martial arts. The most important thing is to use martial arts on the back of a horse, it is best to practice more even archery skills."

"Oh, senior brother, you are indeed not a mortal."

Wang Lingzhiyi slapped his thighs and was surprised. "Why didn't I expect that? Those heroes, generals, etc., aren't they riding horses and traveling 800 miles a day? Then I'll ask my father to buy me a horse when I go back, but I don't know much about the archery. Can I buy bows and arrows in the outside shop?"

Chen Xi thought that bows and arrows were really hard to deal with. There were also weapons controls in the Ming Dynasty. If you want to use swords, swords, bows and arrows, you have to report to the government in advance. Only militia or military families can get these things.

"It should be OK to find someone to do it."

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Just practice at your own home, but don't take it out. You are not a hunter, and there are bows and arrows hidden in your home. If the government knows about it, not only will it be confiscated, but it may also be beaten to the board."

Wang Lingzhi nodded as if he had some understanding, and then he laughed: "Senior brother is right, I understand."

As his martial arts progressed, Wang Lingzhi became more and more impressed by Chen Xi. He felt that Chen Xi was extremely correct in everything he said.

The two of them rarely met. Wang Lingzhi personally took Chenxi to walk around Ninghua County. Ninghua City has not changed much for more than a year, but there are more famous buildings in the city, namely the Ninghua Branch of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The Ninghua Branch was built before the end of the year. It was built by the land of local merchants and gentry in Ninghua, and then Hui Niang donated money to build a four-story building. It is a public building in the city and is temporarily "lent" to the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of the guild hall.

A four-story building stands on the river bank, facing the water of the Xixi River rolling south.

"Senior brother, everyone says that if you can go upstairs, you should see the scenery of the entire county town, that is, those people are not allowed to enter at will."

Wang Lingzhi looked at the tall building and sighed a little.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "You want to go in? That's not easy?"

With Wang Lingzhi's puzzled eyes, Chen Xi went to the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce Branch. When he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the instructor of the guild.

"Little brat, this is not a place for you to play, go play while you are!"

The Zhike spoke very rudely because the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce was supported by the government. Even the magistrate Ye Mingsu wrote a plaque "Ninghua Guild Hall" for the guild, which gave the guild a background in the government, so that the guild guests in the Chamber of Commerce in Ninghua seemed to be above the top.

"Hey, I'll ask you Manager Wen to come out. Something happened at his house. His son asked me to inform him of the voice." Chen Xi said nonsense.

The head of the Ninghua Chamber of Commerce branch was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy hired by Hui Niang. Chen Xi knew very well that when he asked the guest to call someone, the other party would definitely not help, and he would not know him if he showed his identity.

Fortunately, Shen Xi’s ability to make lies is not like that, and he came up with an idea in a blink of an eye.

The wise man heard that he believed it and hurried in and called out the shopkeeper Wen. The shopkeeper Wen was in his forties and was in Ninghua City. When he heard the letter came out in a hurry, he couldn't help laughing: "Oh, isn't this the shopkeeper? What wind has blown you here? Come in quickly, please come in."

Chen Xi then brought Wang Lingzhi's grand model into the guild hall.

After sitting down, Manager Wen immediately asked the guest to come to serve tea and asked about the situation in detail before Chen Xi explained the whole story.

Manager Wen smiled and said, "I was wondering. When I came out of my house in the morning, I was fine. Why did something happen if I didn't even pass by my head? It was because this guest had no eyesight. The shopkeeper wanted to take his friend up and check it out, so he just went upstairs. After noon, I had to go back to the pharmacy to do something."

"Don't bother Manager Wen, let's go up and take a look." Chen Xi did not ask Manager Wen to entertain him, and took Wang Ling to the fourth floor of the small building.

Because of the adoption of the masonry structure proposed by Chenxi and the deepening of the foundation, the load-bearing capacity of the house has been greatly increased, so these four-story buildings have been established.

From the fourth floor window, you can see most of Ninghua County. Wang Lingzhi had never seen such a spectacular scene before. He couldn't help but shout, as if the whole world was his.

"Senior brother, you are right. I can't stay in this small place in the future." Wang Lingzhi said with great ambition, "I will be a hero who is a hero in the future."

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head: "As a hero, you can only help the poor and the needy. You only save two people. You should take the military exam, then join the army, and kill the enemy on the battlefield. Be a general, and you may save the whole world. The most hero should serve the country and the people!"

These words made Wang Lingzhi stunned.

"Senior brother, why do what you said make so reasonable?" Wang Lingzhi was amazed.

Chen Xi smiled and patted Wang Lingzhi on the shoulder and said, "Because I am a scholar, I am responsible for reasoning, scholars hold pens, and fighting and fighting are not enough. Carrying a knife to the battlefield and defending the country is your responsibility."

Wang Lingzhi nodded firmly, and was encouraged by Chen Xi, his life goals changed greatly. From the original expectation of being a hero to the hope of becoming a general or even a marshal who was in the blood of the country.

Chen Xi returned to Ninghua and was able to walk around the city for the first two days, but as the exam period approached, Chen Xi was locked up in the house to study, and he could only come out to breathe at sunset every day. He exercised his muscles and bones.

Although the Shen family has improved a lot, there is no extra money to hire a husband to come back for a personal tutoring. The method used is to let Shen Yongzhuo and Shen Xi learn by themselves.

Knowledge has almost been instilled into the mind, and even the basic examination process has been mastered, so the rest depends on the on-site performance.

Chen Xiyi read the book for several days and felt that he was almost stupid.

Fortunately, no one cares about him, so he simply uses drawing to adjust the pressure of reading. What he draws the most is the portraits of Hui Niang and two little loli, which are finished with charcoal brushes and then painted with brushes.

On the ninth day of the second month, the examination period will be announced.

The first venue of the county examination will be held on February 27, and the registration work will begin immediately. Ninghua County is a small place. This county examination only admitted 50 people, but the number of people who registered was four or five hundred.

During the Hongzhi period, the world was peaceful, and the people sent their children to study more than usual. Among the four or five hundred candidates, most of them were from Ninghua County, and the main ones were from the age of sixteen to twenty-six. Among them, the older one was the old Tongsheng in his fifties, and the youngest was Chen Xi, who was only ten years old.

After the registration work was over, the government announced the names of fresh candidates, and Chen Xi was at the forefront of all students. When the same class learned that Chen Xi came to take the imperial examination at the age of ten, what he issued was not the praise and encouragement of young and promiscuous praise and mockery.

Although there was a precedent for Yan Song to pass the county examination at the age of ten, Yan Song was known as a "child prodigy" since he was a child, and no one knew Chen Xi's reputation.

Of course, if we talk about "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", almost everyone in Ninghua County knows it.

Ninghua means the origin of books and carved comic strips. Anyone who knows literacy in the city has basically read books and comic strips from bookstores and uses them as entertainment.

Even the poem about Taohua Temple written by Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng has been passed back to Ninghua from the capital city, and many people are proud of it. Because people in Ninghua County think that Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is a native of Ninghua. Although it is unknown who it is, I expect that this person will definitely make a big splash in the future.

Chen Xi did not prepare anything for the excitement. What he thought was that as long as he could pass the county test, he could return to the city early. Not only could he reunite his father and mother, but he could meet Hui Niang and two naughty little loli day and night.

ps: The ninth update! It is also an additional update for the monthly ticket with a total of 660 votes! The emperor asked for the support of the next monthly ticket! To be continued.
