The invigilator held a large iron loudspeaker in his hand, stood in front of the stage, raised his voice and loudly announced the discipline and rules of the examination room:
The first is the archery competition. If you hit one arrow, you will get ten points. If you hit three arrows, you will get thirty points.
Second, in horse racing, the top twenty results are accumulated. The first place gets twenty points, the second place gets nineteen points, and the twentieth place gets one point.
Third, for martial arts competitions, you are not allowed to bring your own swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc., and they are all confiscated. Each person is given a wooden stick with a brush tied to it and stained with various colors of paint. Those wearing dark clothes will be stained with white paint, and vice versa.
Fourth, the three results are combined to determine the top ten.
Although there were hundreds of prospective grooms who took the exam, it took less than half a day to complete the inspection. The little eunuch came in ninth place just before Sun Shan. It was not that his archery skills were not good, nor was it because his horse was not fast and his martial arts were not good.
It's because he has unspeakable difficulties and doesn't dare to show his face too publicly.
Then, the ten grooms-to-be went to the big cafeteria to have a free lunch. The food was four dishes and one soup, and the staple food was steamed buns, flower rolls, rice, and a tube of rice. The condition was that they were not allowed to drink alcohol, as they were afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble, so as not to affect the afternoon game. The four dishes were one
A bowl of stuffed skin, a plate of braised pork, a pot of radish vermicelli and mushrooms, and a plate of hand-caught mutton. There are several kinds of soup, you can choose whatever you want.
The little eunuch slaughtered the whole family and chewed big pieces. He actually finished his portion and drank two more bowls of soup. A well-known eunuch in charge of the palace was so successful today.
It looked like God had played another joke on him. However, he had been working too hard these past few days, and he couldn't catch up on any meal, and he was really hungry. In the palace, he was a eunuch and the prince's fate was.
After leaving the palace, he became a beggar and beat dogs, beating them and walking away.
Not to mention that the little eunuch is not good at eating, let’s go back and take a look at the Shuanglong Village. It is said that Shuanglong Village got its name because of the repeated occurrence of Shuanglong Stones, and the stones are not found in the mountains and rivers. Strangely enough, the livestock here are slaughtered every year
A stone is almost always produced. The stone from the cow is called bezoar, the stone from the horse's belly is called mabao, and the stone from the donkey is also called donkey treasure. What's even stranger is that when the stones of all animals are taken out from their stomachs, they have the same name.
Both have the pattern of two dragons, so the Shuanglong Stone became famous far and wide, and the town was renamed Shuanglong Town.
There is a mountain above Shuanglong Town called Monster Mountain, and there is a depression halfway up the mountain. It is in an excellent position and the ground is wide. It is said that General Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty stationed his troops here when he conquered the Xiongnu in the west. When the army returned in triumph, General Huo
Worried that the Huns would come again to harass them, five hundred troops were left to garrison here. Outside they could monitor the movements of the Huns, and inside they could protect the safety of the residents in this area. If necessary, they could rush to the court for help in a timely manner. As time went by, the Huns moved from the west to the west.
Turning to the northern desert, this battleground for military strategists has become a stagnant pool. Due to the changeable climate of Shuanglong Town, which is not suitable for the growth of crops, the main source of livelihood of the locals is mainly panning for gold in the river, mining in the mountains, and in the forest.
Hunting. The troops Huo Qubing left behind have long since changed beyond recognition. They were digested on the spot and turned into civilians. They spoke the local language and wore local clothes. The only thing that remained was their surname.
Many years ago, when Xue Dingshan of the Tang Dynasty was marching to the west, he followed the ancient road and came here again. He also saw that the mountains here are dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, so he also appointed an official before leaving...
To put it briefly, the person who is currently in charge of Shuanglong Mountain is not called the mayor, but the village leader. He is a Han named Shangguan Bao. He does not receive a salary from the court, nor does he ask for money or food from the state government department, and he also regularly asks for money and food from the government.
The state government departments pay a certain amount of taxes. The condition is that the state government does not care about their daily affairs, regardless of their personnel dismissal, and everything is decided by them independently.
Shangguan Bao is entrenched in Danwan Town. Yelang is arrogant and lives in a corner, living a life like a local emperor. Everything goes well for the old village leader, but there is only one thing that is unsatisfactory, that is, none of his wives live up to expectations and none of them can give birth to him.
A baby with a handle, all dressed in women's skirts and hairpins. What's wrong with his family? He often laments to himself and blames others. Seeing himself getting old day by day, even if his wives are reborn, they are already dead.
With nothing to be done, Shangguan Bao immediately made a decision and decided to work hard on his daughter, that is, to steal the groom! The groom who was snatched had agreed in advance that he would give birth to a son with the surname Shangguan, and a daughter with the father's surname. Then he would choose a capable son-in-law.
, if the title is given to him, can the son-in-law take away the country? In the end, it is not his Shangguan family’s world!
The so-called robbing is not really robbing, the main thing is to choose, and then robbing after making a choice. The eldest daughter and the second daughter have already snatched their husbands, and the third daughter has just grown up, and it is time to "robbing". Youdao
It was a foreign monk who was fond of chanting sutras. He had published the information early, and nearby states and counties had already informed him. As long as he had good martial arts skills, a decent person, and whether he was educated or not, there was no need to worry about his family background.
Just when he was fully prepared in all aspects and was about to start the election, his superior's office sent an official document stating that there was a fugitive imperial prisoner. He was a eunuch, knew martial arts, and had neat facial features. His name was Pan You'an. As the name suggests, he was indeed Pan An's name.
It looks like this (see image for details). If the criminal breaks into his territory and he is asked to help capture him, the reward will be a three-year exemption from taxes.
The old Shangguan didn't care much about money, so it was hard to tell whether he would come or not. While he was hesitating, soldiers suddenly came to report that a young man riding a white horse went up the mountain and entered the village. He looked exactly like the man on the official document handed over by the superior...
…
Shangguan Bao couldn't make up his mind for a moment, whether to take action immediately or wait until the matter of choosing a son-in-law was completed before taking action. At this moment, his third daughter Shangguan Xueer hurried over and leaned into his arms as soon as he entered the door, hugging his
neck, says:
"Dad, I think tomorrow's meeting will be forgotten! When my daughter first entered the village, she saw a young man riding a white horse. Didn't you see that man? He was majestic and handsome. He must have come to participate in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride. My daughter saw it at a glance.
If this young man is hit, dad just wants to recruit him, what else are you doing to show off?"
"Is this the person you're talking about?" Shangguan Bao asked someone to take out the image sent by his superior.
"That's right. Daddy has such a good eye. Have you also noticed that this young man has painted all his images?" Shangguan Xueer said cheerfully.
"No, no, no!" Shangguan Bao shook his head like a salesman.
