In the VIP box of Fengze Tower, the Qin family of three were brought to the door. Qin Wushuang pushed the door open and saw the gray-bearded examiner already sitting inside.
"It's very fast!" The old man stood up, came out to greet him, patted Qin Lianshan's shoulder, and said with a slightly exaggerated smile, "Chief Qin, congratulations on your good son!"
Qin Lianshan knew that these examiners were all figures from the Zhenwu Holy Land. He was a little frightened and restrained, so he humbly said: "This is the result of his own hard work."
"Well, there are thousands of martial arts boys in Luojiang County, and your Qin Wushuang is indeed the most diligent and persistent one. He insists on climbing Dacang Mountain every day, twelve hours a day, except for three hours spent eating and sleeping, and he spends the rest of his time practicing.
If a child is talented and hard-working, God will not tolerate it if he fails to succeed!"
The old man's opening remarks made both the Qin family and his son stunned. They secretly sighed that this Zhenwu Holy Land was really amazing, and they could actually investigate so much information in a short period of time!
Seeing the stunned expressions of the Qin family, the old man laughed and said: "Don't be surprised, there are not many things in Baiyue Kingdom that cannot be investigated by Zhenwu Holy Land."
"Zhenwu Holy Land..." Qin Wushuang whispered this sacred name that symbolizes the pinnacle of martial arts. In Baiyue Kingdom, and even all countries in the world, they have their own Zhenwu Holy Land, and without exception, they all represent the uniqueness of their respective countries.
authority.
"No wonder, the gentlemen of those wealthy families didn't even dare to show off when they saw that elegant messenger!"
"Hey, in any country, the Zhenwu Holy Land is the highest existence of secular forces and enjoys supreme authority. Not to mention the wealthy and famous families, even the powerful families dare not challenge the Zhenwu Holy Land." The old man said lightly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Qin Wushuang, I tell you that in this martial arts test, you are the only martial arts boy among the tens of thousands of martial arts boys who received a banquet from the examiner!"
Qin Lianshan was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. The meaning of these words could not be more obvious. The examiner of the Zhenwu Holy Land basically told Qin Wushuang that he was the uncrowned king of this martial arts test!
What does it mean to receive a banquet from the Zhenwu Holy Land? This is already obvious. At this moment, Qin Lianshan couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud, and his heart was filled with excitement.
If Qin Wushuang can really be favored by the Zhenwu Holy Land, then the status of the Qin family will definitely skyrocket!
"Examiner, this is my honor, Qin Wushuang." Qin Wushuang was very polite and showed his humility in a timely manner.
"No, this is the treatment you deserve. It is doubly difficult for a disciple like you to appear in a poor family. We have also investigated and found that your Qin family ancestors were from a wealthy family, right?"
Qin Lianshan nodded hurriedly. In front of this elder, Qin Lianshan found it difficult to control his emotions.
"Qin Wushuang will definitely feel that his test is so good, why is it only seventh-level?" The old man said with a smile, "Actually, with your score, ninth-level is guaranteed. However, the examiner thought more deeply.
He asked me to tell you so that you can fully appreciate his good intentions."
Qin Wushuang thought for a while, nodded and said: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. I am a member of the ninth dan from a poor family. It is too eye-catching and is not good for my growth. The examiner is protecting me and at the same time spurring me.
I cannot be satisfied with the current situation and must continue to forge ahead. I am truly grateful for this kind of love."
Although Qin Wushuang understood, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The starting point of the Zhenwu Holy Land to protect the children of poor families was good. But in this way, his plan to make a big splash went bankrupt. However, there is only a long way to go, so this is not bad, so that those of the Xu family and the Zhang family can
It's not a bad thing for a guy to be suspicious and unclear.
The old man slapped the table and sighed: "What a boy, what a boy! You are so precise and thorough at such a young age. Lianshan, your son has a limitless future!"
For a sixteen-year-old martial arts boy who can analyze things so comprehensively in the blink of an eye, it is no wonder that the other party will have such a reaction.
Qin Lianshan was also greatly relieved after hearing his son's words. Hearing the old man's praise, he was happy but did not forget to be modest: "This child has a good temperament and a good foundation, but he still needs to continue to hone himself."
"Haha, come on, drink!"
The old man said nothing more and asked for a bottle of wine. Qin Xiu was smart and quickly got up and grabbed the wine bottle: "Old man, let Xiu'er pour wine for you."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Lianshan, Lianshan, I really admire you. You have a son with a bright future; even your daughter is so generous. In Luojiang County, the old man has never seen anyone whose daughter can be so handsome."
Qin Xiu smiled and said: "Old man, you are not allowed to make fun of Xiuer. I will give you a full cup."
The old man and Qin Lianshan and his son each had a drink, put down their glasses, and changed the subject: "Lianshan, your daughter hasn't left the court yet, has she?"
"I'm ashamed. This girl is a good girl. She manages some of the family's properties for me, but she hasn't been able to talk about a marriage so far. As a father, I feel confused when I think about it." Qin Lianshan spoke of his daughter Qin Xiu, his tone full of guilt.
The old man was happy: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Twenty-two years old is a young age. Lianshan, don't be anxious. You can't just marry such a good girl. You have to find a good family."
"My daughter has to be happy. As a father, you can't treat her badly." Qin Lianshan said.
"What our Baiyue Kingdom values is a well-matched family. I'm talking about Lianshan, your ancestors of the Qin family were also wealthy. Do you have any bigger ambitions in this 'family review'?"
This is a topic that makes Qin Lianshan even more ashamed.
"To be honest with you, the examiner, I, Qin Lianshan, am incompetent. My goal this time is to keep my status as a poor family. It is a stroke of luck that I can prevent the Qin family, which I have inherited for more than four hundred years, from falling."
The old man was stunned, glanced at Qin Wushuang, and advised: "Lianshan, you have such a good son, one day your Qin family will be honored. The most important thing is not to be discouraged."
"What the examiner is saying is that I, Qin Lianshan, am not very capable, but I am not afraid of the invasion of evil spirits. Family matters must be dealt with to the end."
"Well, there is no end to the road. Come on, drink this glass of wine, I have to go back and resume my life."
Returning from Fengze Tower to the inn where he stayed, Qin Lianshan began to make final preparations for the "Family Review", began to study some information on potential opponents, and prepared for the war with all his strength.
Qin Wushuang wanted to tell his father in advance that he had signed up for a wealthy family, but he resisted in the end. Let's just treat it as a sudden surprise for his father.
With nearly half a month left before the "Family Review", Qin Lianshan stayed at home. Apart from practicing Kung Fu every day, he also studied materials.
Qin Wushuang did not stop his father and went shopping with his sister Qin Xiu from time to time. After a few days, he became very familiar with the entire Luojiang County and bought a lot of things.
On this day, Qin Xiu was suddenly very concerned about the spicy crab from Fengzelou. He took a bite of it and dragged Qin Wushuang to eat it.
The Qin family has many properties and is well off, so there is no need to worry about expenses such as food and clothing.
The two siblings came to Fengze Building in high spirits and immediately ordered eight spicy crabs. The waiter saw that the siblings looked familiar and saw Qin Xiu's beauty, so he joked: "You two are really good at eating, don't hide it.
You said, of these crabs, there are really only the last eight left today."
There is no local crab production in Luojiang County, and the daily supply is delivered from other places. The purchasing channels are very narrow, so this spicy crab can be said to be the signature dish of Fengzelou. A crab costs 2 taels of silver, without any bargaining.
Qin Wushuang smiled and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. Sister, this is your destiny."
The two siblings asked for a private room and went upstairs alone.
After a while, they ordered four dishes and three were served. Only the main dish, spicy crab, was not served.
Qin Wushuang was obsessed with martial arts in his previous life and rarely enjoyed other pleasures. In this life, his character was influenced by his family since childhood and he became more particular. He picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites before putting them down.
"Sister, you still have a bad mouth! Although Fengzelou's food tastes good, the best thing is really the spicy crab. After being seduced by you, I started to take this bite."
The two siblings were chatting and laughing, waiting for the main dish of spicy crab to be served. But after waiting and waiting, it still didn't come.
"The chef is not very quick today. I asked the waiter to hurry up." Just as he was about to get up, the footsteps of the waiter were heard in the corridor.
The waiter walked to the door of the box, but his hands were empty and he looked embarrassed.
"Man, are your chef's hands and feet too slow? It's been half an hour."
The waiter hesitated for a long time and said: "You two, there is a guest in the private room over there who wants you to come over and tell you something."
"What guest?" Qin Wushuang was surprised.
"They are all wearing aristocratic clothes just like you, but they seem to belong to a wealthy family. The young masters from famous families are all prominent figures in Luojiang County." The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile.
"No interest, see you!" Qin Wushuang waved his hands impatiently and frowned, "Hurry up and serve the food!"
The waiter was embarrassed and had to show his cards: "Master, to tell you the truth, your spicy crab dish has been ordered!"
"How do you say this?" Qin Wushuang said in a displeased tone, "The guy at the front desk just now said clearly that there are only eight left. Why were they given? Do you think we can't pay the bill or something?"
The waiter hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, it was indeed there just now, but now it was decided. It's those young masters. They didn't listen to what the villain said. They only wanted to order the spicy crab. And they even said,
Master, if you want to pursue the case, go find them!"
These days, we have all heard of grabbing land, grabbing money, and grabbing wives, but grabbing food is new. This is the first time I heard it. Qin Wushuang glared angrily: "No one came first, then? Don't talk nonsense, I ordered the food first, that's all."
You have to come up to me. If anyone wants to be wordy, let them come to see me!"
Seeing Qin Wushuang getting angry, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly nodded and left.
Both sides are nobles and uncles. He can't afford to offend his little shopkeeper, so why not ask the boss for instructions?
