I raised a husband in ancient times

Chapter 36

Early morning, heavy frost.

The weather has been cold these days, but the sky is clear.

Pei Xing tied the last strap of Lu Yiming's cloak, straightened out the folds, and sent him out: "Have a safe trip, husband."

He suppressed the desire to keep his husband and waved goodbye to him, feeling lonely in his heart. It's clear on his face.

Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, took the other person's two cold hands, and put them in his palms to warm them up. He had to go to several places this time and couldn't take anyone with him.

Besides, it was freezing cold, and he couldn't bear to let others suffer with him.

After leaving the courtyard, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he put his arms around the other person's shoulders, leaned down, and gently kissed his forehead: "Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Pei Xing was attracted by this sudden kiss. Feeling dizzy from the impact, he nodded unconsciously. After walking far away, he belatedly touched his forehead. It was like a feather brushing against his heart. It was itchy and very comfortable.

He returned to the house, secretly took out a box, moved the clothes on it, carefully pulled out the small package at the bottom, and unfolded it.

This is a half-sewn purse that he wants to give to his husband.

My father learned his craftsmanship from the embroidery shop in the town. Before he got married, he learned from the people in the embroidery shop and earned some money for daily expenses through this craft.

Later, when he grew up, his father taught him step by step.

The purse he wanted to give to his husband was embroidered with the same sweet beans that his father taught him before he got married.

The blue hair turns into snow at dusk, sending you my lovesickness.

He loves his husband, but he doesn't express his feelings hastily like that night. Instead, he wants to give his black hair and lovesickness purse to her husband in a dignified way, expressing his love for her.

Stitch by stitch, he sewed very slowly, as if he wanted to hide all his heart into this small purse.

My father once said that if the person he marries in the future treats him sincerely, then he should tell him his feelings. If he treats him like air, then he should spend his life guarding his future children and not ask for things that he cannot get. It will only increase the sadness.

Her husband treats him very well and he is the one he likes. He wants to stay with her husband for the rest of his life.

Lu Yiming naturally didn't know what his husband was thinking. He was at the end of a shabby alley and almost fainted from the rotten smell in the alley.

After confirming that the address given by Gu Huan was correct, he knocked on the precarious wooden door: "Excuse me, is Mr. Jiang here?"

According to the information revealed by Gu Huan, this Jiang Runshan, Mr. Jiang was originally a former imperial guard of Wu Tan Huaren and lived in the capital. , the concubine from the later family was implicated in the crime and was dismissed from her post.

This man had studied in a martial arts school in the capital, had excellent grades, and had his own experience in martial arts examinations.

Originally, Xie Cheng wanted to invite this man to serve as a staff officer in the army, but Jiang Runshan refused due to poor health. In fact, he was disheartened by the court and did not want to go out again.

Gu Huan asked Lu Yiming to come and become his disciple as a test. The other party did not want to see their former friends because he did not want them to be implicated and did not want to receive aid out of pity. However, he did not want to see people becoming increasingly depressed, so he recommended a middleman, so that there would be less conflict. Some.

A rustling sound sounded from inside, as well as a few coughs that were suppressing the throat.

After a long time, a hoarse and vicissitudes of voice sounded from behind the door, coughing as he said: "Who are you looking for?"

"Young man Lu Yiming, I came to visit you sir after being introduced by Gu Huan.

" There was a sound behind the door, a "crunch", and mottled The wooden door opened a crack, and the figure behind it was revealed.

This man was five centimeters shorter than him, thin and slightly sickly. He was about thirty years old. At such an age, he should be high-spirited, but this man's temples were half white and he had no energy.

He doesn't look like a martial arts student, but more like a scholar.

When Lu Yiming looked at the other person, the other person also looked at him. He was strong but not rough, his eyes were sharp and his smile was restrained. He had an extraordinary demeanor and did not look like an ordinary farmer.

His first impression of Lu Yiming was good: "Are you the peasant boy who wants to take the martial arts examination?"

"Exactly."

"Let me see the token."

Lu Yiming took out a small palm-sized sword given by Gu Huan and handed it to him. He gave it to the other party. After carefully identifying it, the other party turned sideways and said, "Come in."

The small sword was not returned to him. After locking the door, the man said nothing and walked towards the back room, regardless of whether he had it or not. Keep up.

The dilapidation of this house is similar to that of their old house, or even more dilapidated. However, the things inside and outside the courtyard are kept very clean and fresh, and the plum trees are even better.

Since the other party didn't urge him, Lu Yiming slowly followed him and looked around to get a general understanding of the person.

It is said that you can understand a person's character by looking at some details. This martial artist does not seem to be a careless person, but he is probably a delicate person.

Jiang Runshan sat down in the upper position and motioned to Lu Yiming to feel free. He coughed a few times, and after calming down, he did not go around the bush and went straight to the topic: "How about riding and shooting?" "I've never dabbled in it

."

The other party frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Martial Arts Seven Have you ever memorized the book?"

"I have never dabbled in it."

Jiang Runshan raised his head and looked at Lu Yiming carefully, with many more Sichuan characters between his eyebrows: "Where is Jiyong?"

Jiyong is divided into two parts, one is the competition of force, that is, The other one is to wield swords and guns and lift weights. Lu Yiming's strength is fair and his sword skills are good. As for the long and short lance, he has never done it before. In modern times, he only has hand lances.

Lu Yiming took a look at the man's physical condition. He probably wouldn't be so angry that he turned his back. He told the truth: "My strength and swords are acceptable, but I have never been involved in guns."

After hearing this, the veins on Jiang Runshan's forehead stood out and suddenly appeared. Suppress the phrase "You don't know anything, so why don't you learn nothing"?

Do you really think that you are a god of martial arts descending to earth, self-taught without a teacher?

Who on earth gave people so much confidence that they planned to take part in the exam next spring?

What did Gu Xiaozi say outside the door yesterday? He said that he had found a talent for him, and he was sure to have the pleasure of becoming a teacher. Before he could become a teacher, he would have to be pissed off first.

"It's 15 feet away. How about foot shooting?"

"Three out of nine."

The number of people in the martial arts examination is smaller than that in the liberal arts examination. In addition, most of the candidates come from the army, the children of officials and gentry, and martial arts. There are fewer ordinary people who register and meet the requirements. , the superiors directly canceled the children's examination, and only set up the interpretation examination, provincial examination and palace examination.

How to determine the test interpreter?

Those who are interested in taking the exam need to register in the county between the Lantern Festival after the New Year and early February.

There will also be an external test on the day, which will test the step shooting and stiff bow shooting. Only those who can reach 2 out of 9 in the 50-meter step shooting and eight points in the stiff bow draw will be allowed to participate in the test.

Since Lu Yiming can hit three out of nine, one of the conditions is met.

Jiang Runshan thought for a while, then took a 12-power bow from the wall and handed it to him: "Try to see if you can draw it to full strength."

Xiaomiao was in his body. As the opponent's strength recovered, his body was actually Subtle changes, less prone to illness, strong strength, and quick reactions are the obvious effects.

It is no longer a problem for one person to carry a three hundred kilogram wild boar. As for pulling a bow, it is even easier.

However, there was no need for him to reveal so much. He pretended to be struggling to draw the bow, held on for a few seconds, and then returned it to Jiang Runshan.

"Not bad."

There was finally something to see. There was no problem with the most basic registration. If the registration couldn't be solved, even the Great Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to save him.

Jiang Runshan thought for a moment, handed him a hunting knife, and took a short gun himself.

I heard that many people in the village were born as hunters, so they would be more proficient with knives. If they don't know how to use long and short swords, it won't be a big problem. This is about fighting against others, so long as you can win.

"Come, fight with me."

Lu Yiming was initially hesitant because he coughed every step of the way, but when he saw someone standing straight and waiting for him in the courtyard, he put aside the thought of contempt.

A thin male lion is also a lion.

The sparring session didn't last long and ended after Lu Yiming knocked the weapon out of his hand.

The ancient guns were surprisingly difficult to deal with, both offensive and defensive. In addition, Lu Yiming was not familiar with this kind of weapon, and it was easy for him to capsize in the gutter.

Several times, he relied on his intuition to narrowly avoid the opponent's attacks and was not injured. However, the opponent also took the opportunity to make a cut in his cotton-padded clothes, and a lot of cotton wool fell down.

He was defeated by force, and in the end he only caught the flaw because the opponent paused for a moment.

If this man recovers, the fight may be indistinguishable.

"Cough cough cough." Jiang Runshan wanted to say something, but he coughed violently as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Yiming temporarily gave up feeling sorry for this piece of clothing that Little Xingxing had sewn for him. He took a step forward and helped the person back to his seat, secretly using his powers to calm him down.

[This man had suffered a penetrating lung injury and had sequelae. 】

Xiaomiao gave very timely feedback and found out the root cause of this person's illness.

【Can it be cured? ]

[You didn't help me beg for anything good last time! ]

Xiaomiao did not directly say whether it could be cured, but talked about another thing that bothered it.

It saved Xie Cheng last time and spent all the powers it had finally accumulated without getting any benefits. As a result, when it just recovered this time, there were new people to save, and it was not happy.

[Then have you decided what you want? 】

【......No. 】

Don't say it, this tone is quite reasonable. Xiaomiao herself has not thought about what she wants. Can she ask him anything and ask for some air? It is indeed precious enough.

[Gu Cheng gave you five hundred taels, and we'll give you fifty-fifty. If we have time, we'll take you to the town for a walk. You can choose what you want to buy, how about it? 】

Although Xiaomiao doesn't know the concept of money, but seeing how happy Xiaoxing was when she got one tael of silver from selling the pig, two hundred and fifty should be quite a lot!

[Then keep your word, otherwise I won't treat this person! 】

Jiang Runshan recovered and felt much refreshed after exercising. He secretly wondered if his recent neglect of exercise had worsened his condition.

"Your sword is good, but you still need to be familiar with the gun, otherwise you will easily suffer losses."

Jiang Runshan returned the small sword to Lu Yiming and looked at him squarely: "I can be your martial arts teacher, but you need to pay for the rental of the racecourse and martial arts field yourself. About ten taels per month."

Ten taels per month, a total of forty taels in four months.

Lu Yiming clicked his tongue, no wonder ordinary people took the martial arts examination less often. They started learning martial arts from a young age. How much money does it cost every year?

Ordinary people may not be able to earn ten taels of silver even if they work hard for a year, not to mention that it is a monthly expense. It is strange that they can afford to learn.

It is now approaching the end of October, and the winter months are about to begin. There are only four months left until the beginning of March next year for the exam. Excluding the New Year and travel time, there are only three months for Lu Yiming to drive.

The internal test of the interpretation test is to extract one or two articles from the Seven Martial Arts Books and ask them to write them down silently. It is a test of memory. For Lu Yiming's photographic memory, this is not difficult.

The most important thing is horseback archery. After all, Lu Yiming is still a person who can't even ride a horse, let alone archery on a horse. Now that someone is willing to teach him, he will naturally ask for advice humbly.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Jiang."

Lu Yiming made a disciple salute, but the other party didn't accept it: "You can't be a master, just a guide."

Jiang Runshan believed that apart from these basic things, he could not teach him any deeper content. The teacher who can be regarded as the opponent's enlightenment stage is not as good as those old people in the official school.

Besides, once a teacher is always a father, he doesn't want to be that "father" yet. After all, he is only about ten years older than Lu Yiming and not that old yet.

In the morning, Pei Xing prepared two strips of bacon, a can of sour beans and a pack of persimmon cookies for him. The bacon was a gift for apprenticeship, and the other things were considered as farm family gifts.

Jiang Runshan took these without being polite.

"I have the seven books of the Martial Arts. You can take them. After reviewing, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime."

Helping people put the seven books into the backpack, Jiang Runshan began to drive them away: "You will follow me from tomorrow on." I'll go to the martial arts field in the morning, the racecourse in the afternoon, and you can review your lessons by yourself in the evening."

Lu Yiming nodded and stood up to leave.

Turning out of the alley and walking through the busy city, listening to the cries of vendors in his ears, he suddenly remembered something.

The winter solstice will be in one month, and that day happens to be Little Star's birthday. Although the ancient farmer would not remember these things specially, he still wanted to give Little Star a surprise.

But what kind of birthday gift should you give?

Looking at the dazzling array of accessories, Lu Yiming was always a little dissatisfied.

The eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony should be a little different.

The author has something to say: Stupid author: Which birthday gift do you want to choose? Brother Lu can give it to me! ! !

(Guess what gift it is? The consummation of the marriage does not count~ The first friend to guess correctly will win a prize when the answer is announced~)
