"Martial champion?" Ling Ruo was slightly startled. She remembered that Rong Xiang had said before that he wanted to take the imperial examination. Why did it change to the martial arts examination all of a sudden?
Rong Xiang saw Ling Ruo's doubts, raised his head and said, "Yes, our family already has the eldest brother as a civil servant. Naturally, I want to be a military attache, so that our family will have someone who is both civil and military. Not to mention that he shakes his head and memorizes writing all day long.
Wen, how can there be a battlefield where you can fight with the enemy so happily!"
Yilan curled her lips disdainfully, "It's obvious that you can't read the Four Books and Five Classics and can't take the imperial examination, so you are forced to prepare for the martial arts examination."
Seeing her exposing his background, Rong Xiang's face turned slightly red, and he said unconvincedly: "So what, it's not the same as being the number one scholar. Besides, Wen Wu is not the first, Wu Wu is not the second; it means that Wu is easier to distinguish than Wen.
"
"Does Ama agree to this?" Ling Ruo asked. Martial arts are no better than weapons. On the battlefield, swords have no eyesight. If you don't do it right, you will lose your life. If you choose this path, Rong Xiang will inevitably have trouble in the future.
There is danger.
"A grown man should make contributions by himself." Rong Xiang said righteously, but when he caught a glimpse of Ling Zhu's glare, his neck slightly flinched, and he pulled Ling Ruo's sleeve flatteringly and said: "Sister, Ama has always been
I love you the most, please say a few nice words to Amma for me and let me participate in the martial arts competition the year after next."
"I said no, and I won't." Before Ling Ruo could say anything, Ling Zhu had already vetoed it with a wave of sleeves: "There is no discussion on this matter. You can study at home and take part in the next imperial examination."
Fucha also scolded Rongxiang: "You kid, didn't I tell you a few days ago not to think about this again? Why don't you listen?"
Seeing this, Ling Ruona still doesn't understand that everything is just Rong Xiang's wishful thinking. Amma never agrees. Think about it, which parent is willing to let his son go to the battlefield to fight, if it doesn't go well,
Maybe we'll never see each other again.
Rong Xiang looked at Ling Ruo helplessly. When he was at home, he always begged Amma, but Amma refused to let go, and the same was true for E Niang. Now his sister was his only hope, and he must help him.
Ling Ruo glanced at him angrily, but after all she couldn't bear to see Rong Xiang disappointed, not to mention that this matter was not completely useless to him, so after thinking for a while, she politely said: "Ama, don't leave now."
I'm angry, my daughter knows that you don't let Rong Xiang participate in martial arts, it's all out of love and care, for fear that he will
It is dangerous to go to the battlefield. But it is a fact that Rong Xiang cannot read the Four Books and Five Classics. No matter how much you force him, it will be useless. Instead of failing for the second time, sitting idle at home and wasting his good time. It is better to take this opportunity to let him practice:
Jade cannot be used until it is cut, so maybe Rongxiang can use it to build a great career."
Ling Zhu also knew that compared with the eldest son, the second son did lack the talent for reading, but the military camp on the battlefield was no joke. If something happened to him, wouldn't they want the white-haired man to give the black-haired man away? He really couldn't even think about this scene.
Don't dare to think about it.
Seeing that Ling Zhu was silent, Ling Ruo said again: "Actually, our Qing Dynasty has not had any major wars for many years since it put down the Junggar rebellion, and the situation is very stable. Even if Rong Xiang actually passed the martial arts examination, he would just go to the border to practice.
In a few years, if you become familiar with military affairs, there won't be any danger."
As a court official, Ling Zhu naturally knew that what Ling Ruo said was true. It was just that the situation was hard to predict. It might be stable today but might change tomorrow. What if a war broke out in the past few years when Rong Xiang went to the border?
This increases the risk. But if you continue to oppose him, and Rong Xiang really fails the imperial examination and achieves nothing in his life, as Ling Ruo said, wouldn't it mean that he, the Ama, has harmed his son?
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Ling Ruo knew that he had been moved by what she had said, and added: "Amma always thought that only the military officers fighting on the battlefield were in danger, but in fact, how could the civil servants sitting in the temple really have peace of mind?
Amma, who is in the court, should know this best."
He thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said to Rong Xiang: "Well, for the sake of your sister, I will give you a chance. If you can pass the martial arts examination next year, I will not care about you, otherwise you must
Please study hard for me to take the imperial examination. Do you hear me?"
Rong Xiang had been waiting for so long for Ling Zhu to finally let go. He almost jumped up with joy. It was his sister who had a solution. With a few words, Amma changed her tune and quickly agreed: "Yes, my son will obey Amma's instructions for two years."
After the martial arts competition, my son will definitely be ranked first in high school and make Amma proud."
"Okay, let's talk about it at that time." Ling Zhu said, turning around and seeing Mrs. Fucha's eyes still filled with worry, he patted her hand that was resting on the small table and said, "Don't worry too much, children and grandchildren.
You will be blessed with children and grandchildren, not to mention that when we calculated Rong Xiang’s birth date, the master said that Rong Xiang would live a long life.”
Although Mrs. Fucha was still a little worried, since her husband had already agreed, she couldn't object any more.
After he calmed down, Ling Ruo found that his eldest brother Ronglu was nowhere to be seen, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. It was said that his eldest brother had been away for six or seven years, so he hadn't returned to Beijing yet?
When she asked this question, Ling Zhu's already softened expression suddenly turned ugly again. Mrs. Fucha even sighed, glanced at Ling Zhu complainingly and said, "Your brother came back years ago.
It's just that your mother didn't allow him to come in, so he had to rent a small house outside."
"What happened?" The more Ling Ruo listened, the more confused she became. Among the four siblings, Amma valued her eldest brother the most and had the highest hope. Why was it that this time it was so rare for her eldest brother to come back, but Amma was so angry that even the door was closed?
Don't let the elder brother in.
Ling Zhu snorted and refused to explain. He was obviously very angry. In the end, it was Fucha who told him the cause and effect of the matter.
It turns out that when Ronglu returned to Beijing after completing his term of office, he also brought back a girl named Jiang. She was very good-looking and spoke softly and politely. She said she was the girl he liked. He met him in Jiangxi and planned to get married after telling his parents. Others
Not mentioned at all.
Ling Zhu felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he summoned the servants who had returned to Beijing with Ronglu to ask questions. Under this question, something went wrong. It was true that this woman was from Jiangxi, but she turned out to be married.
She was divorced by her husband's family, and was rescued by Ronglu when she was about to commit suicide. After that, she stayed with Ronglu, serving him in food, clothing, and daily life. Over time, she fell in love, and Ronglu actually wanted to marry her.
.
If it was just like this, Ling Zhu wouldn't be so angry, but the reason why Jiang was abandoned by her husband's family turned out to be: she didn't abide by women's ways and was indifferent to others.
Although their Niu Hulu family is no longer what they used to be, they are still members of the official family. How could they marry such a woman with such bad morals? If anyone found out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the family?
So Ling Zhu immediately summoned Ronglu and Jiang. After questioning, he found that the result was consistent with what the servant said. However, Ronglu said that Jiang didn't do anything to compromise. It was because of the man's good looks.
How much talent is there?
, when he was working as a teacher, he was attracted by a young lady from a wealthy family. Although this man was talented and intellectual, he was not honest. After learning about the young lady's thoughts, he wanted to divorce his wife and remarry, so as to gain a high position, so he falsely accused the Jiang family of living with someone else.
