Chapter 122: Martial Palace Examination Outside Field, Emperor Tianzhi Visits in Person
There was a strange scene at this banquet at Jia Yun's house.
During the feast, the female relatives picked up their teeth with dental floss and toothpicks.
Youshi, Li Wan, Sanchun and other female relatives were ashamed of this, but they couldn't help covering their faces with their sleeves while secretly flossing and picking their teeth with toothpicks. Even Lin Daiyu did this once!
This picture is simply too beautiful!
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu did not have a banquet with these female relatives today. He was in the hall of the outer house. Otherwise, if he saw this scene, especially when he saw his sister Lin picking her teeth with a piece of dental floss, her worldview might collapse.
Feeling...
After the banquet, another strange scene happened in Rongguo Mansion.
After returning to Rongguo Mansion in Sanchun, Mrs.
Brushed...
Some people are not satisfied with it after swiping it once, and they swipe it a second or even third time!
Jia Baoyu swiped it three times and found these things novel and interesting.
What made him depressed was that this time Jia Yun only gave it to the female family members, not to any of the men, so he didn't have any.
Since she had already had the experience of asking Sanchun for colored pencils but not getting them, Jia Baoyu didn't ask Sanchun for them this time, and went directly to Jia Mu for a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Lin Daiyu had already moved out of Rongqing Hall and lived alone in a private room in Jia Mu's courtyard.
At this time, Jia Baoyu walked outside Lin Daiyu's wing and was stopped by Qian Xue: "Second Master Bao, you can't go in right now."
Jia Baoyu wondered: "Why?"
Qian Xue said: "Our lady is brushing her teeth."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Jia Baoyu said: "I will brush my teeth with her."
After saying that, he ran into the side room. Qianxue hurriedly followed in before she could stop him.
After entering the side room, Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu brushing her teeth. Well, this was the second time Lin Daiyu brushed her teeth.
Jia Baoyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Let me brush my teeth with you."
Lin Daiyu ignored her because her mouth was full of toothpaste and it was difficult to speak.
Jia Baoyu was not polite and directly reached out and picked up a toothbrush in the wooden box.
Lin Daiyu suddenly didn't care about the toothpaste in her mouth, and said with a mouthful of toothpaste: "Put it down, that's mine!"
Jia Baoyu said: "Good sister, give me one. You still have a few here."
Lin Daiyu said: "If I don't give it to you, each one will have a different color. If I give you one, I will be missing one color."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
He thought about the time when he asked Miharu for colored pencils, and the current situation was similar.
Alas, the big-faced baby feels so wronged again!
Even his favorite sister Lin is reluctant to give him a toothbrush!
Suddenly, Jia Baoyu had the urge to use a big move to throw the jade, and his hands grabbed the red rope around his neck...
Qianxue reacted quickly and hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao, please don't drop jade here, otherwise the girl will be harmed."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Lin Daiyu also reacted and glared at Jia Baoyu: "I just didn't give you a toothbrush, but you are going to throw your jade, and your belly is too small."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
In my mind: Am I doing this for a toothbrush? I am doing this for you. I love you so much, but you are reluctant to give me a toothbrush.
Jia Baoyu's eyes suddenly became wet with grievance. Fortunately, he did not throw the jade and walked out sadly.
Lin Daiyu didn't chase her, but she didn't have the intention to continue brushing her teeth, so she immediately rinsed her mouth.
Qianxue couldn't help but said: "It's not that I'm too talkative. Second Master Bao is really ignorant. Second Master Yun is a few years older than him. He made great achievements and was awarded a title the year before last. He also has great figures in martial arts and merchants."
can do.”
"But Second Master Bao only knows how to hang around in our house all the time. He doesn't read books well. He's still so small. He gets into trouble with the girl just to hold a toothbrush."
Lin Daiyu remained silent.
In her opinion, Jia Yun is still a layman who pursues official career and economy, but she has also admitted that this layman is indeed a very capable person, not to mention his achievements in titles and military examinations, and his achievements in merchants.
Lin Daiyu was surprised by her achievements.
Previously, Lin Daiyu liked pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pencil erasers.
And this time, Lin Daiyu also likes the toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and toothpick.
…
…
The next day, Jia Yun held another banquet at his house, this time inviting friends.
Shui Rong, Jing Zhanyao, Song Jiaotou, Ni Hu and Ni Er all came.
Even Cao Wu and Tang Daqian came.
Tang Daqian and Cao Wu both won the martial arts examination this time, and their results were very good. They were busy celebrating, but they still came to Jia Yun's house to attend the banquet this time.
In addition, Shuizhen, Cao Wei, Chu Mingkai, and Tang Anping also sent congratulatory gifts and gifts.
Jia Yun actually didn't want to hold such a feast.
Because, at the end of last year, he held a big banquet for the opening of his mansion.
Because inviting others to a banquet to celebrate is a form of reciprocity. When others send congratulatory gifts and money, Jia Yun will most likely need to repay others' congratulations and money.
But there is no way, this kind of banquet is also the etiquette of this era.
Jia Yun has achieved martial arts in high school. A banquet should be held for this kind of thing. Friends will definitely send congratulatory gifts and gifts. It would be unreasonable for Jia Yun not to hold a banquet.
Jia Yun's friends who came to the banquet this time each presented a wooden box of toothbrushes and other products, which was also a kind of publicity.
The last time Jia Yun opened her mansion, she hosted a banquet for the Jia family and a banquet for friends. After the two banquets, Jia Yun earned 800 taels of silver in gifts and gifts.
This time Jia Yun made a fortune again. Although it was less than last time, there were still five hundred taels of silver in gifts and money.
…
…
A few months later.
The time came to February of the fourth year of Tianzhi, which was also February of the ninth year of Honglou.
In February of this year, the Qing Dynasty held the liberal arts examination. Because it was held in spring, it was also called Chunwei. The candidates were the national candidates. Those who passed the examination were called Gongshi, and the first one was named Huiyuan.
The admission quota for the general examination is not fixed. This year, more than 300 people were admitted, which is considered to be a large number of people.
One month later, in March, the Qing Dynasty held another imperial examination for the liberal arts examination.
The imperial examination is the highest level of the imperial examination. It is also called "imperial examination", "ting examination" and "ting dui". Its purpose is to distinguish tribute scholars and select officials.
After the imperial examination, the candidates are divided into the top three: the top three are awarded the title of Jinshi, and are commonly known as the number one scholar, the second best, and the third best; the number of people in the second grade are awarded the Jinshi background, and the first place is generally called Chuanlu; the top three are the most numerous, and are given the same background as the Jinshi.
Another month passed, in April of the fourth year of Tianzhi, which was also April of the ninth year of Honglou, the Qing Dynasty held the martial arts examination!
The admission quota for the martial arts examination is not fixed, and is generally much less than that for the liberal arts examination. This year, more than 100 people were admitted.
Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian participated in the martial arts test together again.
Jia Yun High School Wu Huiyuan!
Cao Wu and Tang Daqian also became Wugongshi!
Another month passed, in May of the fourth year of Tianzhi, in May of the ninth year of Honglou, the Qing Dynasty was about to hold the martial arts trial!
Different from the previous martial arts examination process, the Wudian examination first tests the strategy and martial arts in the inner field, and then the archery and horse skills and bravery in the outer field.
On May 14th, the Wudian Examination held an examination on martial arts in the inner field.
On May 15th, the Wudian Trial will conduct an outfield archery and horsemanship test, and the rankings will be announced directly on that day!
During the Qing Dynasty's martial arts examinations, the emperor would usually come in person!
So, on the morning of May 15th, Emperor Tianzhi personally visited the outer examination room of the martial arts examination.
Many dignitaries came to the scene, among whom Jia Yun had interacted with the fourth prince Xia Yi, Beijing County Wang Shuizhen, Cao Wei, Tang Anping...
At this time, more than a hundred warriors entered the examination room.
There are three people at the head, namely Jia Yun, Zhong Baosheng, and Zhang Dingshan. These three people are the top three in the martial arts examination and are also the biggest contenders for the top spot in martial arts this time.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Dingshan came from Niu’s martial arts!
Today, Niu Jizong, the first uncle of the Niu family in Zhenguofu, is also here.
In the past few years, Niu Jizong has complained more than once in front of Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, because Niu Jizong knew that Jia Yun originally wanted to go to Niu's martial arts school, but was suppressed by Jia She and Jia Zhen.
Following an order from Xu Shi, the Minister of Rites, the field examination for the Martial Arts Examination began!
In the first round, the horse archery skills were tested. The horse galloped three times and fired nine arrows.
Cao Wu, Tang Daqian and others completed the horse archery test one after another. Cao Wu hit the target with eight arrows, and Tang Daqian hit the target with seven arrows. Their results were very good. Both of them were strong in this aspect.
Zhang Dingshan, who came third in the competition, hit the target with seven arrows.
Zhong Baosheng, who came second in the competition, hit the target eight times.
At this time, Jia Yun came on the stage, galloped three times, and fired nine arrows. There was a burst of exclamation on the scene, and all nine arrows hit!
The second test is about step shooting, skill and bravery.
In step shooting, nine arrows are fired.
This time Cao Wu and Tang Daqian both hit the target with eight arrows, and Zhong Baosheng and Zhang Dingshan also hit the target with eight arrows.
But Jia Yun still hit all nine arrows!
There was another burst of exclamations at the scene.
Then he took the test of skill and bravery, that is, using a hard bow and dancing with a broadsword.
Hard bows are divided into twelve-power, ten-power, and eight-power three types. There are also bows with more than twelve power. The candidates can choose the bow number by themselves. They are limited to three draws, and each time the bow is fully drawn.
Cao Wu chose the fourteen-strength Chuhao bow and drew it to full capacity three times.
Tang Daqian chose the ten-power one, and it was filled three times.
Zhong Baosheng and Zhang Dingshan both chose the Twelve Strengths, and they were full three times.
When it was Jia Yun's turn to come on stage, she asked for a sixteen-strength bow and drew it fully three times!
There was another burst of exclamations at the scene.
Then he took the sword dance test.
There are three types of broadswords: eighty catties, one hundred catties, and one hundred and twenty catties. The martial arts students are required to "carry the sword left and right over the top" and "must dance with their breasts front and back" to prevent the sword from falling to the ground.
Cao Wu used one hundred and twenty kilograms and passed.
Tang Daqian used one hundred catties and passed.
Zhong Baosheng and Zhang Dingshan both used 120 kilograms and both passed.
When it was Jia Yun's turn to come on stage, everyone looked at him before he even took the sword, including Emperor Tianzhi, the fourth prince Xia Yi, and Prince Shuizhen of Beijing County.
Jia Yun decisively picked up the 120-pound sword and danced it, passing!
There was still a burst of exclamations at the scene.
Emperor Tianzhi sighed in his heart: "This Jia Yun is indeed very brave. He is full of supernatural power, and has reached a very high level in riding, shooting and shooting. He misses every arrow. He can be said to be the person with the best performance in the martial arts examination in the past!"
Such a brave young man would not have been able to appear without great luck!"
