Chapter 476: The Martial Artists Who Failed
"I hope Mr. Xie won't delay too long on the road."
Chen Xi muttered, the one who could help him was not someone else, but was Xie Duo, who had been ordered to sacrificially as the Imperial College in the capital, but was constantly shirking responsibility. Xie Duo was also a famous book collector in the Ming Dynasty. There were countless precious materials that were not passed down to the world in his family.
If you want to fill in the historical materials from the Jianwen period and ask for help from "The Ming Dynasty" to find someone to help.
Unfortunately, this great educator is a bit unreliable. He would rather be a residence in his hometown of Taoxi, Taiping, Zhejiang and his residence in Nanjing than serve the court.
Chen Xi originally wanted to be a tyrant student in the Imperial College for several years, so he could even wait for the president of this national university, but now he has won the top scorer and joined the Hanlin Academy as a historian and editor, and never had the chance to join Xie Duo again.
Thinking about his thoughts, Chen Xi returned to his door, but saw a lonely figure sitting on the whetstone on the right side of the door, holding Hongying, wiping tears there, saying that he was crying so sadly, and his shoulders kept twitching. Chen Xi wanted to step forward to comfort him, but he felt that it had disturbed him.
"Senior brother, are you back? I...I failed the exam."
Wang Lingzhi was too lazy to get up and sat there just sobbing.
It was fine if he didn't see Chen Xi, but after seeing him, he just snotted and cried. His grievances seemed to burst out at this moment, and he was about to burst into tears.
Chen Xi put his foot on him and shouted angrily: "Get up, what's the way you look like? A man doesn't cry easily. You are a coward... still crying!? If you cry again, I will drive you out of the master!"
Wang Lingzhi was originally lying on the stone. When he heard Chen Xi's words, he was so scared that he stood up and wiped away the tears from his face with his dirty hands, and immediately became a big face.
Wang Lingzhi quickly said, "Senior brother, you can discuss something. You can't expel me from the master... I thought about it. I didn't get into the martial arts and Jinshi because I didn't learn martial arts with my master himself. If I could stay with my master for two years, I would definitely get into the exam."
Chen Xi sighed lightly, how deep is the poison of the "master" in this kid?
It was just a joke from childhood that there was a master. Usually, when children grew up, they would definitely know that they were fooled. Where could there be a master who had never met before? But Wang Lingzhi believed it deeply and even attributed the responsibility of not being admitted to the martial arts and Jinshi to this fictitious "master". But he didn't know if this kid hadn't pretended to be on the martial arts stage in the school, how could he end up falling off the stage and failing the exam?
Chen Xi learned some of the situation from the conversations between colleagues from the Hanlin Academy these days, and coupled with the information he had found out from the Ministry of War, Wang Lingzhi was one of the outstanding martial arts scholars who participated in the martial arts examination. He was the only one who could dance the sword for more than 100 kilograms of swords. He was not only able to play, but also made the tiger and tigers come to life. The people present were stunned. Even the examiner Xiong Xiu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was surprised.
But this kid was so proud that he wanted to play with some flower heads. He was playing with a knife and was fantastic. He was preparing to take some skills to fly over the eaves and walls. He kicked the flagpole and leaped in the air. As a result, the flagpole did not support the weight of his body. It broke with a "click" sound, and the person lost his balance and fell directly from the platform.
According to the rules of the Wu Jinshi exam, if you fall from the martial arts stage, you will fail even if your grades are good.
"What's the point of being a big man crying outside?"
Chen Xi said angrily, and went over to knock on the door, but saw a big black eye through the crack of the door. It turned out that Zhu Shan had been hiding behind the door and secretly looked at it. When she opened the door, she glared at Wang Lingzhi after she came in, but her face was a little complacent. She knew that she could not beat Wang Lingzhi, but this time she saw a big guy named Wang Lingzhi crying and calling for her parents with her own heart. She felt so happy.
"So it's the young master of the Wang family who is here."
Someone in the yard greeted him, and it was Ning'er who had always wanted to ** Wang Lingzhi.
Ning'er smiled and greeted Wang Lingzhi, but Wang Lingzhi was in a state of disgrace because of the failure of the exam. How could he have the heart to pay attention to this "sister" who is much better than him?
In addition, Wang Ling's emotional intelligence is very low and he is aware of men and women's affairs late. Even if Ning'er is charming, he still cannot attract his attention.
Xie Yuner and Lin Dai came out of the main house. When they saw Wang Lingzhi, Lin Dai stuck out his tongue and turned to the kitchen. Xie Yuner came over to salute Chen Xi, and then asked, "Mr. Wang, what's wrong with Young Master Wang?"
"I failed the exam." Chen Xi replied very simply, "The martial arts exam was released today. He failed. If he wanted to take another exam, he could only wait six years later."
Xie Yuner thought that the martial arts exam was the same as the literary exam, and it was held every three years. I heard that the exam would be held in six years, so I almost understood why Wang Lingzhi was so sad. In another six years, Wang Lingzhi was in his twenties. It is still unknown whether he had the blood and energy he had now to participate in the martial arts exam.
Soon Ning'er and Xiu'er moved the chair to the yard, Chen Xi sat down, and asked Wang Lingzhi to sit, but Wang Lingzhi sat directly on the edge of the well in anger: "Senior brother is the top scholar, I am a juren. My father said that when you see an official, you cannot be on an equal footing."
Chen Xi didn't expect that Wang Lingzhi, a silly man, knew etiquette, so he didn't force himself and asked, "Then what are you going to do? Should you go back to your hometown or go to the Ministry of War to serve?"
Wang Lingzhi raised his head, clenched his nose with his fingers, and asked, "I want to listen to the master's opinion. I will do whatever he wants me."
After Wang Lingzhi finished speaking, Xie Yuner was very surprised when she heard this. She used to wonder why Wang Lingzhi always called Chen Xi "Senior Brother", but just thought it was a young man playing and talking about seniority. Now she finally knew that Wang Lingzhi and Shen Xi actually had a common "master".
The Shen family, the Lu family and the Xie family have a common secret, that is, Chen Xi has a knowledgeable and talented master.
Xie Yuner had been unable to understand before, how could an ordinary old scholar like Feng Huaqi teach a thirteen-year-old top scholar who is proficient in business, miscellaneous studies, poetry and articles?
Chen Xi always used "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" to cover up the incident. When writing "Peach Blossom Temple Poem", Xie Yuner asked Zhou, and only then did she know that there was an "old man" behind Chen Xi who had never appeared. She just thought that this "old man" was an old scholar who was an unparalleled scholar or a free and easy Confucian scholar.
As brothers, Chen Xi and Wang Lingzhi took two different paths of following the literary and martial arts practice. They are all the people. Needless to say, Chen Lingzhi became the top scholar. Wang Lingzhi was young and became a martial artist. This time, Chen Xi said that if he hadn't done it intentionally, he would have been a martial artist.
If there was no martial arts palace examination during the Hongzhi period, it would be possible that the top martial arts scholar in the Wangling was the best.
How amazing should this person have to be able to cultivate a top scholar in literature and martial arts at the same time, and be able to make amazing works such as "** Plum" and "Taohua'an Poem"?
"I can't find the master in the world. But have you ever heard of the saying "Senior Brother is a Father"?" Chen Xi said with a stern face.
Wang Lingzhi widened his eyes. It seemed familiar to me, but he felt it was sensible. In fact, this sentence was originally saying "the elder brother is his father", and Chen Xi bullied Wang Lingzhi without knowledge, so he said this on purpose. Wang Lingzhi thought for a long time and finally nodded: "It seems that's the case."
Chen Xidao: "Since that's the case, I'll arrange it for you. You go back to Ninghua and come to the exam again after six years. I'll write some secrets for you for your master. You go back and practice hard. After six years, no matter whether you have passed the Wu Jinshi or not, you will go to the Ministry of War to serve. That's it."
Wang Lingzhi grinned and felt aggrieved: "Senior brother, I said I don't want to go back... Six years are so long. If I still fail the exam in six years, it would be better to stay here. The capital is so lively, go back to Ninghua... Is it boring to practice martial arts at home every day?"
Chen Xi shouted in the tone of an elder: "Do you think staying in the capital is for you to wander around? You have to go to the Ministry of War to join the army. How old are you? When you arrive at the military camp, you know where the gate will be headed? You are so naughty and kill the enemy, and you rush forward, and you can come back alive?"
Wang Lingzhi was shocked by Chen Xi's momentum. After thinking about it, he shook his head honestly, and then lowered his head sadly.
Chen Xi said sternly: "You have been in the capital for a long time. First go back to the inn and pack up your bags. I will send you the secrets tomorrow evening. You will go back to Ninghua with Butler Liu and my third uncle the day after tomorrow. Remember to go back to learn and practice hard, otherwise even if you are a martial arts scholar now, you will have no future in your life!"
Chen Xi didn't want Wang Lingzhi to join the army so early because Wang Lingzhi only had a brute force, was not old and had no experience in dealing with people.
If a martial artist enters the military camp, he or she should start with the general, or even the general flag or a small flag. With his ignorant appearance, it is difficult to be promoted to the army. If he or she is not good at fighting, he or she may really have to sprinkle blood on the battlefield. This is not the purpose of Chen Xi teaching him martial arts at the beginning.
Let Wang Lingzhi go home and study behind closed doors for six years. At that time, Wang Lingzhi will start a family and establish a house, and have a sense of responsibility and responsibility as a man, and his mind will be open, and his personality may become calm and not ostentatious.
Moreover, Wang Lingzhi was only twenty-one years old in another six years, and he was a very good young man. Chen Xi felt that he should have climbed to a higher position at that time, and perhaps he could take Wang Lingzhi with him to do things, just like Liu Daxia and Jiang Liwei.
"Senior brother, can you discuss it?"
Wang Lingzhi looked at Chen Xi with a bitter face.
Chen Xi said angrily: "Go back! If you don't listen to me, I will definitely take you out of the sect on behalf of the master. You can do it yourself!"
Wang Lingzhi swallowed, and finally stood up reluctantly and walked out of the door with Hongying. However, when he walked to the door, he turned his head and glared at Chen Xi with grievance, as if he was blaming General Chen Xi for his senior brother, and even threatened to expel him from the sect.
After the man walked away, Chen Xi stroked his forehead and returned to his room. In fact, he also hoped that Wang Lingzhi would make a difference by becoming a martial artist. Then the two brothers, one of the literary and one of the martial artists, would have some advice in the capital.
Xie Yuner followed Shen Xi into the room, and finally couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Mr. Wang, who is Mr. Wang's master?"
Chen Xi said angrily: "It's just a joke from childhood. There is no master, but he believed it since he was a child. I can't take the initiative to expose it now, let him give up on himself!"
Xie Yun'er was stunned. After a while, she came to her senses and asked, "Where did Mr. Wang come from?"
"He has talent in this area!" Chen Xi sighed, "I taught him some fists, feet, sword tricks, and also told him some mixed methods of practicing internal skills. Fortunately, he was dedicated to learning martial arts, and he was able to integrate those complex martial arts."
"Oh! It's just that people are immature. If this kid joins the army at such age and serves as a grassroots officer, I'm really worried that he can't stand the cowardly and refuses to do it!"
