"Whoosh..." Before Yuzhu could see clearly, Niu Tai had already completed the whole process of setting up a bow and releasing an arrow, shooting an arrow with four stars.
Yuzhu also often practiced riding and shooting. He could see clearly that the four white-feathered eagle-feather arrows hit the target, and the tails of the arrows still trembled slightly in the wind.
"Okay, good boy, I really underestimated you." Baixing has a crazy personality. He immediately became excited, grabbed a handful of arrows with his backhand, put it on the string, and without seeing the aim, he saw five stars in a row.
All of them hit the bullseye.
"Haha, boy, do you accept it?" Bai raised his chin triumphantly and glanced sideways at Niu Tai.
Yuzhu originally thought that Niu Tai was in trouble. Because the five-star continuum was already the limit in the continuous shooting.
Who would have thought that Niu Tai did not say anything, just like Bai Xing, he grabbed a handful of arrows with his backhand, put the string on the string and shot.
"Dodo doo..." The arrows in the back actually pushed the arrows in front of them off the target. There were exactly nine arrows on the target, but five were missing.
Yuzhu's eyesight is pretty good, and he has already seen that these are a pair of extremely talented marksmen. If they continue to let the competition continue, they will not eat lunch.
"Okay, that's it, no winner or loser. I'll give you two hundred sheep, and you'll each get half." Yuzhu made the final decision, making a qualitative judgment on the entire competition.
"Hey." Niu Tai didn't dare to go against Yuzhu's wishes and immediately recognized Zha Qian.
Baixing originally wanted to continue to pester Niu Tai, but he still had some sense after all. When there were foreign guests at the scene, it would be too risky to refute Yuzhu's face.
Yuzhu was the first to apologize to Hu Fenghui: "Brother Hu, I'm so sorry. The fighting spirit of the two reckless people in my family has made you laugh."
Hu Fenghui quickly returned the gift and said politely: "Brother, you have so many talented people under your command. It's really gratifying. To be honest, many of the Eight Banners soldiers in the Beijing camp are no longer able to withstand the battle. Now the only ones we can really count on are
Count my Sauron cavalry from the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty."
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. Hu Fenghui really had good eyesight and saw through Niu Tai's origins at once.
According to Martai, his only son Niutai, who grew up in Solon outside the customs, is a famous eagle shooter and eagle tamer in the tribe.
"To be honest with Brother Hu, Niu Tai's Guo Luomafa (grandfather) is the great elder of the Sauron tribe outside the Pass. In addition to being good at shooting eagles, he is also good at domesticating Haidongqing. Niu Tai followed his Guo Luomafa
, I have stayed in the Sauron tribe for a relatively long time, and I have more or less learned a little bit from it." Yuzhu has never been one to brag, and he humbly belittled his family's magical skills. p>
Hu Fenghui smiled and did not refute Yuzhu's self-effacing face to his face. There are some things that you just understand in your heart, so why bother to tell the truth?
Just now on the road, through mutual introduction and understanding, Hu Fenghui also knew the details of Yuzhu.
He was secretly grateful that he could actually get to know the biological son of Longkodo, the admiral of the Nine Sects, in this Jiuhua Academy. It was simply wonderful.
Unlike Nian Gengyao's half-heartedness, Hu Fenghui has always been the loyal disciple of Fourth Elder Brother Yinzhen.
The situations of the Hu family and the Nian family are very different, and the choices they make are naturally very different.
The head of the Nian family, Nian Yaoling, is the current governor of Huguang and a proper official in the border areas.
Nian Gengyao himself was awarded Jinshi at the age of 21. In just a few years, Nian Gengyao has been promoted to a fourth-rank cabinet scholar, and his future is boundless.
As for the Hu family, they want money but not money, they want official title but not official title, they want power but not power, so they can only dedicate their loyalty to the fourth elder brother.
It would be much more convenient if Yuzhu is drawn into the Fourth Brother's camp and then Longkodo is drawn in.
However, Hu Fenghui never expected that Longkodo had already become the backbone of the Fourth Master Party.
The fourth elder brother's scheming was too deep and his plan was too long-term. Except for the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, he almost hid it from everyone involved in the fight for the heir.
It wasn't until November of the 61st year of Kangxi's reign that Hu Fenghui, who had been kept in the dark, finally realized that Long Keduo had been lurking around Kangxi for a long time after his fourth elder brother Yinzhen succeeded in seizing the throne in Changchun Garden.
The Fourth Master is a party member.
The small house where Yuzhu lived had just three guest rooms. One room was given to Wu Sidao, the other was given to Hu Fenghui, and the remaining one was given to Niu Tai. There would be no room for one more person.
After tidying up the place, food and drinks were placed on the large round table. Yuzhu smiled and invited Hu Fenghui and Wu Sidao to sit down.
After drinking and eating, Hu Fenghui and Wu Sidao said goodbye together. Yuzhu did not deliberately try to persuade them to stay, so he sent them out of the main room.
After that day, under Yuzhu's example, every day on the fourth watch, the four of them had breakfast separately and walked to the academy together.
Wu Sidao realized his shame and became brave. He refused to sleep in anymore and advanced and retreated together with Yuzhu.
Soon, it was time for the monthly exams. The gentleman in charge of invigilating the exams was none other than Qin Benchu, the chief master of the academy.
The monthly exam is based on the pattern of the Jiangnan Provincial Examination and requires three consecutive exams.
In the first session, there are three questions on the [Four Books] and four questions on each of the [Five Classics]. Among the Five Classics, candidates can choose one to answer.
In the second session, test one article of "The Classic of Filial Piety", one imperial edict, one imperial edict and one imperial edict, and five sentences.
The third session is to try the Five Ways of [Confucian Classics, History and Current Affairs Policies], which is to express opinions or opinions on current affairs and government affairs based on Confucian classics theory.
Originally, the Jiangnan Provincial Examination was held in three sessions over nine days, and each session had to be submitted to Gongyuan one day in advance, for a total of 12 days.
However, it was impossible for the academy to do this, and it was deliberately compressed into three days.
According to Qin Benchu, students who cannot finish the exam questions in one day should not go to Jiangnan Gongyuan, as it will tarnish the reputation of the academy
The monthly exam is so short and the amount of questions is so large that it is simply outrageous.
However, Yuzhu, a question-answer in a small town, answers questions every day. Entering this stressful examination environment, he is like a fish in water.
After the first day's questions were handed out, Yuzhu was not in a hurry. He waited until all the questions were reviewed and drafted before he started writing.
No way, even if the test questions are not completely similar, they are 80% similar, which greatly speeds up the speed of solving the questions.
Because we have been notified in advance, during the monthly exam, everyone is only allowed to bring dry food and the Four Treasures of the Study.
At noon, Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and gnaw on the specially prepared salty dry food in the kitchen. Wu Jiang was very smart. He prepared a large porcelain teapot and a large teacup for Yuzhu to ensure that Yuzhu would not be short of tea during the exam.<
/p>
However, forget about hot tea, you can only drink cold tea.
About four hours later, Yuzhu checked the test paper again and was the first to get up and hand in the paper.
Qin Benchu, who stood in front of the school with his hands behind his hands, frowned and stared at the jade pillar.
Yuzhu finished the submitted papers with his true ability, and naturally did not panic at all. He calmly walked to Qin Benchu and held a stack of test papers in both hands.
"Stand still, I will judge on the spot." Qin Benchu still didn't say much, but his cold tone was quite lethal.
Yuzhu was naturally obedient and just stood there without moving.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Benchu said coldly: "You can leave."
Yuzhu bowed his head and saluted, bid farewell to Qin Benchu, and walked away gracefully without looking back.
Manager Zhang, who had been guarding the door, could see clearly that even though Yuzhu had gone far, Qin Benchu's eyes were always fixed on him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
