Three days later, the eunuch from the palace read out the seal and rewarded her with gold, silver and silk. Huang Ying officially became the imperial wife.
Huang Ying was very happy because she could get money on a monthly basis without doing anything. She got sixty-one taels of silver every month, and together with Da Kui it was one hundred and twenty-two taels of silver. How dare you think of this before? Here comes the eunuch.
Not only did he read out the seal, but he also brought a piece of news. The King of Wu had refined his martial arts and strengthened his army, and wanted to select a hundred good generals from the civil and military elites of the Manchu Dynasty. A martial arts competition was held in the middle of the first month of the following year, and the winner was directly awarded the title of Wailang, a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of War.
The news has not spread yet, and Da Kui was inexplicably excited when he heard the words. Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu were outstanding heroic young men, and if they worked hard and taught them, they could win the fame. Da Kui had made great contributions when he was in Jiangbei, and that was how the two became what they are today.
The title is empty (the crown prince and Taibao are the virtual title) and the third level is the real power (the envoy of Jiangnan Tongzheng is the real power).
Although the guards under Dakui are all fifth-grade, they are just guards with no real power after all. If Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu can win the championship, once they join the army and serve, they will at least be a general commanding more than 10,000 troops. Dakui said
Yang Xiaohu is famous all over the world, and this is the best time.
Dakui summoned his men to gather in the hall to discuss the specific matters of the competition.
Dakui was sitting at the main seat in the main hall, looking at the people sitting on both sides and said: "The imperial court is scheduled to hold a martial arts competition in the middle of the first month of next year. When the elites gather, it will be a fierce battle. The winner can enter the court as an official and be granted a title.
I am a member of the fifth rank. I want to invite my two adopted sons to participate in the competition. You may wish to express your opinions and come up with an idea together."
Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu were very excited when they heard this. Meng Ge said from the side: "Sir, it's not the subordinates who have the ambition of others. I don't know about others, but I know that General Chang Yuchun has many masters. General Tang He also has many masters.
Quite a few, and in addition, all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty can participate in the competition. I think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon among them should not be underestimated!"
When Meng Ge said this, he looked at Yang Xiaohu and then continued: "Forgive me for the offence. The martial arts of the two young masters are ordinary, but how can they develop strong skills in two months?" Meng Ge was straightforward, but he said
In the sentence, when Yang Xiaohu heard this, he patted the armrest of the chair and stood up and said: "My martial arts skills are not inferior to yours. If I have the ability, let's compete again if I hold an iron gun?"
Seeing this, Dakui shouted with a straight face: "You are so outrageous, please sit down!" Yang Xiaohu saw Dakui getting angry, so he sat down again. Dakui said angrily: "Martial arts practitioners should be open-minded and eager to learn, as you are so competitive and competitive.
How to make it happen?" Yang Xiaohu pouted but looked unconvinced.
Dakui then said warmly: "Xiaohu and Panbu's martial arts are indeed a bit normal, but it is not impossible that they have improved in two months." Master Feng said: "My lord, according to my subordinates, this matter is extraordinary.
When the imperial court holds a martial arts competition, it will definitely select people with both civil and military skills. The two young masters may have studied the military books and strategies carefully. Moreover, the competition in this competition is nothing more than riding and shooting, confrontation, and hand-to-hand combat. The subordinates feel that it is necessary to start from these aspects.
"
Dakui nodded in agreement, and the others also expressed their opinions, until it was past Chen time. Dakui said with finality: "Xiaohu and Panbu need to study the art of war diligently with Master Feng these days, especially the formation of battle formations. They need to study carefully. I am here
I still have things to do for a few days, and after these few days are over, I will personally urge you two to practice your martial arts diligently."
Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu stood up and clasped their fists respectfully. Seeing that the matter was almost done, Dakui announced that the meeting was over.
The marriage between Dakui and Huang Ying was arranged by the King of Wu, so naturally it cannot be done according to folk customs. But now that the three days of the wedding have passed, Huang Ying has to "return home" according to the custom. Huang Shijie and his wife are in Yingtian, and Dakui has already arranged it.
The other house accommodates his parents-in-law. In addition, Da Kui's parents died young, but Da Kui may return to his master to report the good news. After Da Kui and Huang Ying returned home, they planned to return to Tiantai Mountain together, so that they could make their master happy.
The next day, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Zhang Mansion. Huang Ying insisted on Dakui wearing a helmet and a military uniform, saying that he wanted to see what the mighty general looked like. Dakui had no choice but to find the armor and weapons from that year, put it on, and rode his horse and carriage in a soft sedan.
Next to them, Xu Yuan and Dong Hu led 300 cavalry to open the way first, while Tian Feng and Zhou Kai led 300 cavalry to press behind.
However, these soldiers and horses were all borrowed by Dakui from Tang He, and he agreed to treat Tang He to the largest restaurant in Yingtian before he came back.
The team left Yingtian and headed south, but it was brisk even if they didn't walk. Huang Ying opened the curtains on the side of the sedan and looked at Dakui's heroic appearance, and her heart felt like honey. Her husband was the mighty general in the past, and now the great Ming Dynasty is in Jiangnan.
As an envoy to the general administration, anyone else would feel proud.
After traveling for less than three days, they arrived at Tiantai Mountain. Da Kui ordered his soldiers and horses to wait at the foot of the mountain, and changed into regular clothes in the car. Then he took Huang Ying up the mountain on foot. As soon as Huang Ying left the sight of everyone, she acted coquettishly and said that her feet hurt.
Da Kui had to carry Huang Ying up the mountain. Da Kui had no choice but to squat down and carry Huang Ying up the mountain. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise what would happen? (In ancient times, etiquette was very strict, and a husband and wife could not walk too close in broad daylight.
Otherwise, Dakui wouldn’t be very curious when he first met Huang Ying)
There was still a short way to the mountain gate, so Dakui put Huang Ying down early and said, "You must be very solemn when entering the gate, and you cannot speak loudly. This is the important place of the Taoist gate!" Huang Ying obediently agreed, and Dakui took Huang Ying to the mountain gate.
When he came to the mountain gate, Dakui raised his hand and patted the door gently. After a while, the door opened and Huiqing came out. When he saw Dakui, he said happily: "Uncle Fool, are you back?" Dakui responded with a smile. When Huiqing saw Dakui,
Huang Ying beside her couldn't help but be stunned. Huang Ying was born with a beautiful face, and she was currently wearing a crimson dress and a pink embroidered butterfly cloak. She was noble but even more charming. Even though Hui Qing was a monk, she looked straight at her.
Dakui coughed dryly, and Huiqing suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. This can't be blamed on Huiqing's lack of concentration. How can ordinary people resist Huang Ying's beauty? No wonder she used to wear a bamboo hat when going out, fearing that someone would see her.
Suddenly, Huang Ying is completely naked now that Dakui is by her side.
Dakui brought Huang Ying in and asked as he walked: "How is my master now?" Huiqing didn't answer for a while, so Dakui couldn't help but stop and turn around to look. Huiqing stood there with a look of sorrow on his face, and Dakui felt in his heart
Startled and just about to ask more questions, the voice of senior brother Ling Xuzi came from behind: "Junior brother, you are back!"
Dakui turned around again, only to see four senior brothers arriving. Dakui asked anxiously: "Four senior brothers, how is the master doing?"
Lingxuzi sighed: "Master passed away a month ago..."
