Chapter 78 Brother-in-law(1/2)
Du Yong took action and made the old lady laugh after a few tricks. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, everyone went to the open-air garden.
It's quite comfortable to stay in the garden in the lukewarm season.
There are many people, and they are divided into several groups.
The old lady took the big stone pavilion in the middle with her family. While eating tea and chatting, she could also enjoy flowers and fish.
Du Zongcheng, Du Zongye, and Du Zonglong brought juniors over fifteen years old to the school grounds on the right to take the martial arts exam.
The rest were still young and hadn't had fun, so they chased and played around the yard, with maids and male servants following them in case they ran too crazy and tripped.
There are three forms of martial arts exams.
First of all, the elders personally give instructions. This is usually Du Zonglong or Du Zongye appears, making the moves very authentic, and they stop when they click.
Secondly, the guards take action, and the moves will be a little more messy.
Finally, it is a competition between the younger generations. The fight is more fierce and it is normal to see blood.
Du Yong remembered that two years ago, he and Du Qiong had a fight, and in the end both of them were stabbed several times. Not only did the elders not blame him, they were also very satisfied and said that they had a bloody attack.
It's warm-up time now.
The younger generations either press their legs and expand their chests, wipe their weapons, or relax by inhaling and exhaling. The atmosphere is quite solemn.
Because Du Yong had "internal injuries", he didn't have to do anything. He held a cup of wolfberry tea as a wall to watch, and felt happy.
"Brother Yong, if you don't do it this time, I will be able to compete with Brother Qiong later. I will definitely be beaten and embarrassing!"
Du Mou came to Du Yong and looked at Du Qiong who was moving in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
Du Yong comforted him: "You engrave the three-fold seal, but he engrave the five-fold seal, but it's not much different. Even if you can't beat it, it should be fine if you can hold up to two hundred, right? It's not embarrassing."
Du Mou said dejectedly: "Two hundred tricks? Too many, right?"
Du Yong sneered: "You are so unconfident before you even started fighting. Uncle will definitely give you a bad cake."
There are six types of evaluations: upper A, lower A, upper B, lower B, upper C, lower C.
"Roasted cake" means "Xiaobing", which is the lowest evaluation. It is not a good thing to get this evaluation.
Du Mou cried and said, "No, then what should I do?"
Du Yong glanced at him: "Can you take some courage? When Brother Qiong and I were practicing, weren't he a few small realms? He still had to go back and forth. He came with a knife, dodge or hold it, and then fight back. What a simple thing? At worst, you can be cut a few times, bleed a little, and at most you will suffer some internal injuries and will not die."
Du Mou's eyes lit up and then quickly dimmed, obviously still lacking confidence.
Du Yong took a sip of tea and did not continue.
If you can do something like this, you can only rely on yourself, and others can only make some suggestions.
"What are you two talking about?"
A gentle man in his thirties came over.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law!"
Du Yong and Du Qiong quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.
This person is the husband of the cousin, Lianghe.
Although the Liang family is not as good as the Du family, they are also a big family.
Mr. Liang used to be responsible for bookkeeping in the imperial library, which was a very expensive job. He is retired and has two sons, Liang Yu and Liang He, both famous handsome men in the capital.
Liang Yu worked in the Ministry of Industry and received good reputations and had designed palaces and bridges.
Liang He was originally planning to join the army in Dongzhou, but his mother suddenly became ill, so he didn't go there. While taking care of his mother at home, he also took up the family's business, but he has not been to work as a businessman so far.
He is a talent with both civil and military skills, and it would be a pity not to be a good person.
Many people took the initiative to recommend him, and even the prince came forward, but he refused them all, saying that he would stay at home to take care of his mother, and that he did his best for the court, and that doing his best for the court does not necessarily mean that he should be a job. Doing business well and paying more taxes is also supporting the court.
Since then, his reputation has increased instead of decline, and his business has grown bigger and bigger.
Du Yong's cousin was a tough woman. She had only seen Liang He from afar once before, and told Du Zongcheng that she would marry Liang He.
Du Zongcheng loved his daughter. After taking a comprehensive consideration, he invited several old friends to come forward and matched the marriage.
Six or seven years have passed, and the cousin and Liang He gave birth to a son and a daughter. The relationship is very stable. The most important thing is that Liang He does not have the idea of taking a concubine. Just this, I don’t know how many women envy the cousin.
Du Zongcheng was also very satisfied with Liang He, the son-in-law, and he also loved his young grandson and granddaughter.
"Brother-in-law, we are talking about the discussion. Du Mou is a little timid." Du Yong explained with a smile.
"What's there to be timid?" Liang He's expression was a little confused.
"I'm going to compete with Brother Qiong later. I'm not inferior to him in a small state, and my sword skills are not as good as him. How can I not be timid?" Du Mou still cried.
"My brother-in-law is experienced, why would you give me some advice on this kid?" Du Yong chuckled.
"I have any experience, I haven't taken action for a long time." Liang He smiled bitterly.
"Is my eldest brother-in-law still thinking about joining the army?" Du Yongcha said in a low voice and asked.
"I'll think about it occasionally." Liang He did not hide it, and paused and chuckled: "When I was a child, I often heard stories about Qu Taibao. Every time I was excited, so I always wanted to go to Dongzhou to make achievements. Later, I thought about it carefully and not everyone was Qu Taibao. If I really went to Dongzhou to join the army, I might have already died in the battlefield."
In fact, it’s not just Lianghe. Many people choose to go to the battlefield because they listened to the story of Qu Taibao.
Du Yong nodded: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned for ten years."
Liang He's eyes lit up: "These two sentences are interesting. Are you thinking about it yourself, or is it the masterpiece of which master?"
Du Yong laughed and said, "When did my eldest brother-in-law become a stingy?"
Liang He was not angry, but was honored: "Isn't it good to have a sour genius? Every half month, I will attend a sour genius party, looking for chapters, picking sentences, playing the piano, painting, etc., and occasionally being cynical, which is quite interesting. Aren't you suffering internal injuries? I think you can take time to attend such a party to cultivate your body and cultivate your character."
Du Yong did not refuse: "Of course it's good. But I am very vulgar and I'm afraid of ruining the atmosphere."
Liang He shook his head: "You are not vulgar. I have seen vulgar people. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet."
“What’s the problem?”
Du Yong was a little confused and immediately slapped his forehead: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned for ten years. I heard on the streets before that it seemed like a veteran."
Liang He sighed, "Then he must have a deep understanding."
“Hey hey hey hey!”
Seeing that Du Yong and Liang He were having a happy chat, Du Mou was a little dissatisfied: "Don't you want to help me? What are you talking about?"
Du Yong sneered: "What can we do when you are fighting? Are we going to fight for you? Go and ask your uncle whether he agrees or not, and see if he doesn't scold you."
Du Mou's eyes turned: "Brother-in-law can have a fight with Brother Qiong first, so that everyone can open their eyes."
Liang He smiled and said, "What does your Du family matter to me, Mr. Liang?"
Du Mou rolled his eyes: "What Du family, Liang family, you are the son-in-law of the Du family, and you have the responsibility to help us improve."
"Stop and stop!"
Liang He raised his hand to surrender and thought for a while: "But I am climbing the first floor of the tower. Wouldn't I bully him when I fight Du Qiong?"
Du Mou shook his head: "My second uncle and my father are both in the Jin Dynasty. Why don't you still fight us?"
Liang He retorted: "They are elders, and there is nothing wrong with letting water. Du Qiong and I are peers. If we let water, wouldn't we look down on him?"
Du Mou looked jealous: "Anyway, you just don't want to fight, right? Please wait for me!"
As he said that, he ran towards Du Zongcheng.
Liang He looked at Du Yong and said inexplicably: "What exactly do this kid Du Mou want to do?"
Du Yong shrugged: "What else can I do? Please help me, uncle, and I will come out."
Liang He smiled bitterly.
After warming up, Du Zonglong clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Get together, get together quickly!"
All the juniors immediately moved and stood in two rows.
Du Zonglong stood in front and glanced over; "Who will come first?"
Juniors, look at me, look at you, and finally look at Du Qiong.
Du Qiong stepped out of the line, walked to Du Zonglong, and bowed: "I hope the fourth uncle will show mercy."
Du Zonglong laughed: "It is certain to show mercy, but it won't be easy either. Be careful, hold on to fifty moves to give you the top of the league, and eighty moves to give you the top of the league."
Turning his head to look at Du Zongcheng, he asked, "Is that the comment, brother?"
Du Zongcheng said lightly: "Change the method today."
Du Zonglong was stunned.
Du Zongcheng waved to Liang He: "Lianghe, come on, don't hold back."
Du Zonglong immediately stepped aside and nodded slightly: "It's good to take action by the eldest son-in-law, and he can also loosen his muscles and bones."
Liang He had no choice but to leave the list and asked seriously: "My father-in-law, don't you really need to hold back? Isn't that great?"
To be continued...
