Chapter 147 The Martial Arts Examination (2)
Wenju is for getting ahead, so why not martial arts?Most of the important positions in the imperial court are inherited by the children of the family. They are honored by the prominent reputation of their ancestors or fathers, and they can live a stable life without much effort. Yang Feng, the commander of the embargo army, no matter he is a dude or a hero, at least he has a prominent family background, and he is born with enough talent, and it depends on the individual the day after tomorrow.

But if those scholars and civilians want to take a share of the position of courtiers, they must study hard for ten years or study martial arts and military art for ten years. They have gone through countless hardships. Everyone from common people to courtiers understands this truth , Complaining is useless.

On this day, Xie Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Han Ye, the son-in-law, stood on the sentry tower of the school grounds early, watching these martial arts masters enter cautiously and apprehensively.

Although Emperor Jing Yuan was not present, several prominent figures came. Leaving aside the son-in-law who was in charge of coordinating the martial arts and supervising the progress of the martial arts, Situ He, the only son of the Situ family, the Grand Marshal of the World, also came.

In the eyes of these candidates, Situ He is considered a different kind. He was not born in martial arts, nor did he sit firmly as a general because he inherited the family business. He is a rare young general who was born in the army among the children of the family. Time has grown from a small cavalryman to a general who conquers the North.He climbed very fast, his military merits were summed up, and every promotion was based on evidence. Many people in the court who wanted to bring down the Situ family could not find any reason for Situ He's military merits and official titles.

Therefore, for these martial arts practitioners, Situ He is a person they respect. Regardless of his family background and so on, he can still be their role model. status.

Before Situ He was injured, he only took a part-time job in the Beijing camp. He went to report every day and had nothing to do. This time he got the order of Emperor Jing Yuan to judge the martial arts. Emperor Jing Yuan may also have taken a fancy to it. That's because he was born in the army.

Uncle Li Guo's eldest son, Li Shu, also came, but this time he came not for Situ He, but for their family's little fox who participated in the martial arts.The master of ceremonies in charge of Li Shu had very little work, and only those actors and musicians were required to appear on the stage during sacrifices or major festivals. Most of the time, he had nothing to do and was happy to be at leisure.

Li Shu and Situ He walked together all the way, but he didn't keep his eyes fixed like Situ He's. His small eyes kept looking at those things, not at Li Fu. The little fox is small, and he would look for it when he was squeezed in the crowd. no.

Li Shu was looking at all kinds of men.

Daxing Kingdom has always been dominated by men. The precedent for women to be officials began with Empress Situ. It is also because of Empress Situ's outstanding military exploits and noble status that the status of women in Daxing Kingdom has been promoted a lot compared to previous dynasties. But after all, men are superior to women. It is still unacceptable for most families to show their daughter's family, so except for a few women, the candidates who came to take the martial arts exam were almost all men.

These men were different from the men Li Shu had seen before. He was well-known in the market, and most of his acquaintances were young ladies and actors. Anyway, they were not from very good backgrounds.Not far away, those tall and strong figures of various colors standing tall and straight were all martial arts elites selected from the local area, which inexplicably made Li Shu's blood boil.

Li Shu walked bewilderedly while touching his chin, and accidentally bumped into the back of Situ He, who was in front of him. He touched his sore nose and said angrily, "Damn, you walked well, why did you stop!"

Situ He ignored him, and turned to meet him at the corner door on the other side. Li Shu looked forward, unable to touch his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "You good-for-nothing guy, once Jing Xiaobai comes, he won't be able to find Bei!"

Baili Jing came with Mo Wen, and Mu Lian and Yuan Shan followed closely behind.When getting out of the carriage just now, Mo Wen held Bailijing's hand and did not let go. Bailijing's eyes searched among the applicants who were taking the exam, but she didn't see the person she was looking for. When she turned her head, she found the person on the other side of the school yard. Situ He was walking towards her, and her originally calm expression immediately lifted.

"He!" She easily walked away from Mo Wen and walked towards Situ He. She hadn't seen He for ten days. When the two of them never left Shengjing, how could they stay away from each other for ten days?This kind of intimacy is not understood by the two of them who have been close since childhood.

Situ He took big steps, and quickly walked to her side, stood still, and said in the first sentence: "Show me your hands."

The gauze on Bailijing's palm had already been removed, and she knew it would be wrong not to show him, so she spread her hands and said with a smile, "It's ready."

Situ He's expression did not relax because of this, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, his lips were pursed, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked down at her hands, and suddenly sighed, holding her hand, talking while walking: "It hurts." It’s been a few days, right? The bruise hasn’t cleared up yet, and the color isn’t as good as before, it doesn’t look like a girl’s hand at all.”

Situ He stared at the front when he was talking, Bai Lijing was half a step behind her, looked up at his sharp side face, looked at him carefully for a moment, and said: "Hey, what have you been doing these days, you seem to be thin gone."

She was indeed thinner, and the contours of her face became more and more distinct. When she frowned, the blue veins on her forehead could be seen.After listening to Bai Lijing's question, Situ He turned his head to look at her, raised a good-looking smile, but did not show his white teeth, and asked, "Are the mulberry fruits delicious? There is not much rain this year, and the mulberry fruits are fruitful." Well done, let’s go to the farm on the outskirts of the city some other day.”

"Okay." Bailijing nodded, "I haven't eaten mulberry fruit for many years, but I don't know if I can climb to the top of the mulberry tree as I grow taller and fatter."

Situ He folded his body and pinched her face with one hand: "Why are you fat? Another hundred catties would be fine."

Ever since she was a child, He has always said this about her. Bai Lijing has never taken it seriously. How can she meet people even if she is a hundred catties fatter?She shrugged her nose and snorted, "Hey, you should grow into a big fat man! Look at your waist, it's much thinner than Li Shu's."

Situ He just smiled and let her wrap her arms around his waist to make gestures.After arguing for a while, Bailijing suddenly remembered the business and asked, "He, why are you here at the school?"

"Come to judge." Situ He replied concisely, then looked back at Mo Wen, who was not far or near behind them, and said, "Why do you bring sick people to this kind of place?"

Mo Wen is a person, a living person, lying between him and Jing Xiaobai, Situ He wants to ignore but can't, and besides ignoring, he can't think of how to deal with him, he just tries to make his tone listen It doesn't sound so blunt, so that his silly girl won't be offended by it.

Bai Lijing also looked back, Mo Wen seemed to be watching this side all the time, as soon as she looked at him, he smiled at her, his black eyes were calm and his face was gentle.So she also smiled at Mo Wen, a comfortable and shallow smile.
