At this time, Pan Chengyu had finished his martial arts performance and won applause. Li Yanqing's attention was suddenly focused on the shooting field. He knew that the next one would be Gao Chong to appear.

With the bell ringing, a young white horse general rushed from the entrance. The warrior was Gao Chong. He saw him wearing a white samurai robe, a silver helmet, with red tassels flying on the top of the silver helmet, and a 12-meter-long golden spear with a thin waist and wide shoulders. He was tall and tall, with a face like a full moon, and his eyes were as bright as stars, looking particularly heroic.

Cao Ping stroked his beard and smiled at the people around him: "I have always said that Gao Chong is not only good at shooting skills, but also outstanding in talent. Just like Zhao Zilong, Changshan, has a more feeling today."

Li Yanqing nodded secretly. Although the Song Dynasty had a great reputation, there were many famous generals, especially among these meritorious families, and many talents emerged, but unfortunately there was no place to use their skills.

I saw Gao Chong picking the tip of his spear, and golden light flashed out of the sky. Countless spear heads appeared around him, which made people dazzled. Gao Chong not only mastered the Gao family's pear blossom gun, but five years ago, he also learned from Xu Ning, the first master of the imperial guards, and learned the essence of his spear technique. He changed his bright silver spear to the Panlong Golden Spear. In the end, even his master Xu Ning was not his opponent.

Gao Chong's gun technique is fast. The golden spear stabbed out like a storm, and the sky was full of spear heads. It was impossible to distinguish the virtuality and reality. Not only that, Gao Chong's long spear was made of fine iron. The entire gun weighed at least 60 kilograms, which made him not only change his marksmanship, but also had great power. He was indeed a rare general in the world.

At this time, Pan Xu found a topic and asked Li Yanqing with a smile: "We all know that Li Tanhua is unparalleled in riding and shooting. I wonder what weapons Li Tanhua is good at using besides riding and shooting?"

Li Yanqing shook his head and smiled, "I'm ashamed. I don't have much time to study martial arts. I also met a wise master. In addition to riding and shooting, I practiced gun skills for a few days, but it was very bad, and I lost other martial arts."

Cao Ping nodded, "Li Tanhua is right. Practicing martial arts and studying depends on accumulation. It takes a lot of time to practice them, so there are the Pan family's swords, Gao family's guns, and Cao family's riding and shooting. But as long as you are proficient in one of them, I think it is enough."

Gao Shen also smiled and said, "I heard from Zhuan Shuai that Li Tanhua's strengths are not his excellent martial arts skills, but his ability to command 20,000 troops as the only one, not a general, but a general."

Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, "Dear seniors, you have too much award, I really can't afford it!"

"Li Tanhua doesn't have to be polite. We will get together again if we have the chance in the future."

At this time, Gao Chong's shooting drill ended and immediately won fierce applause.

After watching the martial arts performances of several young children, Li Yanqing was a little interested. At this time, he saw that Gao Chong had changed his clothes and was about to leave, so he said goodbye to the three of them and left the stage first.

"Brother Gao stay!"

Li Yanqing called Gao Chong, quickly chased him from behind, walked closer and smiled, "My brother's shooting skills are indeed extremely clever, which opened my eyes."

"It's not really a big deal compared to my brother's riding and shooting. Why didn't my brother come out and give it a try today?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "One of the things I am not a child of aristocratic family, and I am suspected of being a clever person. Secondly, I am not prepared today, and I just plan to have a banquet."

Gao Chong suddenly laughed, and he saluted again: "When will you have the opportunity to ask your brother for advice and riding and shooting? I hope your brother will give you advice."

Li Yanqing nodded with a smile, "There will definitely be a chance."

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked over with a smile, "Is Siro's martial arts performance over?"

Gao Chong quickly saluted, "Report to my mother, the child is over."

It turned out that the woman was Gao Chong's mother, and Li Yanqing also quickly saluted. Gao Chong introduced Li Yanqing to his mother, "Mother, this is Yanqing, a good friend that the child knows."

"All of them are good kids with promising prospects!"

Gao's mother nodded to Li Yanqing with a smile, and then said to her son: "Xiu'er's mother is waiting for you. She has something to ask you, come with me!"

Gao Chong's father died early, and he had been dependent on his mother for life. Although he didn't want to go on a blind date, he did not dare to disobey his mother's words, so he had to apologize to Li Yanqing and followed his mother.

Li Yanqing was really bored. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the archery field, the cunning smiles immediately appeared in his mind. He shook his head and turned around and walked towards the atrium.

Cao Xing followed the housekeeper all the way to his grandfather's study. He was quite nervous. In his memory, his grandfather had never met him alone. What happened?

"Uncle Wen, grandfather is looking for me..." He couldn't help asking the butler again.

The housekeeper smiled bitterly. This kid had asked himself many times.

"I really don't know. Just don't speak without permission when the young official sees his grandfather."

Without any news, Cao Xing had to bite the bullet and follow the butler to his grandfather's study.

"Master, Xiaosanlang is here."

"Come in!"

Cao Xing walked into his grandfather's study room and then he unexpectedly found that his third uncle was also in his grandfather's study room.

Cao Xing quickly knelt down and saluted, "The grandson greeted his grandfather and greeted his third uncle."

Cao Ping nodded and said to his third son Cao Xuan: "Just as I said, the meeting with the Wang family will be suspended. You can make any excuses and say that she is not in good health. Let's talk about it next time!"

"Yes! The boy understands."

"Go first!"

As Uncle San's footsteps went away, Cao Xing became even more nervous.

Cao Ping took a sip of hot tea calmly, then glanced at his grandson, "I want to know about Wen City. You took Li Yanqing to Wen City!"

Cao Xing didn't know what happened, and he was sweating a little on his back. He didn't dare to deny it, so he had to nod and admit, "Yes!"

"Why take him there?"

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly remembered the third uncle who was here just now. Could it be that he had thought of something?

"Why? Tell me." Cao Ping's eyes became serious.

"Because Li Yanqing has no wife yet, his grandson just thinks about it."

"You just want to introduce Yunniang to him?" Cao Ping stared at this grandson who made the decision without authorization.

Cao Xing lowered his head guiltily and whispered: "It turns out that my grandfather already knows it."

"I don't know. He told me that you asked him to answer the questions for Yunniang and wrote a couplet. I guessed that you meant this. How could you make decisions about such things without authorization?"

Cao Ping's tone was very stern, staring at the ignorant grandson with great dissatisfaction.

"Do you know that Wang Daoqi's son is going to date Yunniang today. This matter has been negotiated for several months. How can you arrange for outsiders to intervene?"

Cao Xing was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly, "The grandson knew his mistake, but the grandson knew his mistake!"

Grandson's attitude made Cao Ping's expression slightly calmer, and he asked again: "How much does Li Yanqing know?"

"He didn't know anything, he thought Yunniang was only in her early 10 years old."

Cao Ping was stunned, "Did you tell him this?"

"The grandson was afraid that he would not write couplets, so he didn't tell the truth. He told him that Yunniang wanted to write couplets in the study at the age of eight, but he had no gains in two or three years. So he thought Yunniang was at most in her early 10 years old, so he should just want to encourage the little girl who loves to collect books. There is no other meaning?"

Cao Ping paced back and forth in the room, and after a while, he said, "Do you know what I asked your third uncle to do just now?"

"I don't know!"

"I asked him to suspend his blind date with the Wang family and talk about it later."

Cao Xing suddenly understood, "Can my grandfather want it too?"

"Nonsense! Tanhualang, how could I not be moved? Why do you think I personally went to grab my son-in-law when the imperial examination was released last year?"

Cao Xing was completely confused. His grandfather scolded him, but it wasn't the case in the blink of an eye?

Cao Ping glanced at him and saw that he was confused, and said angrily: "Why don't you understand, Li Yanqing doesn't have such an important thing as a wife? Why don't you report me first? A young official who is a Jinshi, a sixth-rank rank, and has no wife. Do you know how many people will rob him after the news spreads?"

Cao Xing was completely stunned. It turned out that he was completely different from what he thought!

"I'll ask you, are you sure Li Yanqing has no wife or has not been engaged?"

"The grandson only knows that there is a concubine in his family and he does not have a wife, but I don't know whether he has an engagement."

Cao Ping nodded. Usually, he would marry first and then take a concubine. It is rare for Li Yanqing to take a concubine first. It is estimated that the woman either had a bad background or was a maid before.

Cao Ping didn't care about this, he was more concerned about whether Li Yanqing had an engagement? It was beyond his expectations that Tanhualang, a Tanhualang like Li Yanqing, was not stolen last year.

He said to his grandson: "You ask me about this matter clearly, you may not ask him himself, but you can ask his family. If you have a good relationship with him, it is best to become a close friend. Do you understand?"

"The grandson understands."

Cao Ping took a sword from the wall and handed it to his grandson, "If you give this Seven Star Sword to him, just say what I promised, and you will never regret it."

Cao Xing didn't understand what his grandfather meant, so he took the sword in a daze and stood up and said goodbye.

"Wait a moment"

Cao Ping took the sword back again. It was too abrupt to give the sword like this. He hung the sword back on the wall. Cao Xing looked at his grandfather helplessly.

Cao Ping then turned around and told his grandson, "You will follow him without leaving any steps today. If someone proposes marriage to him, you will be responsible for blocking him!"

"The grandson understands."

Cao Xing was relieved and said goodbye in a hurry. Cao Ping walked to the window with his hands behind his back and sighed softly. As the head of the family, he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The Cao family's official career has not been smooth in recent years. Although there are several children and son-in-law who are officials, they are all in prefectures and counties. Among the civil officials of the court, there is no Cao family. In the competition with the Gao family and the Pan family, the Cao family is already behind.

Cao Ping thought that he went to catch his son-in-law in person last year, but in the end he got nothing, but Gao Shen caught a Jinshi son-in-law.

But Cao Ping never expected that Li Yanqing, who was recognized as the three rich sons-in-law last year, was not captured. He appeared in his mansion as soon as he was promoted to the Attorney Censor and wrote a couplet for his granddaughter. Could it be that this is God's will?

Thinking of the couplet, Cao Ping suddenly had an idea in his mind.
