Section 9: Beating Mandarin Ducks with Sticks

Section 9 Beating the Mandarin Ducks

Section 9

The scene calmed down immediately. Ruyan and Ruyu were not very old. Although Wang Ping doted on them, he was the head of the family after all. Seeing his father getting so angry, he was so scared that he lowered his head and dared not speak.

After a while, Marquis Wang Ping felt a little distressed when he saw the appearance of his two precious daughters. He lowered his tone and said: "Hey, I am doing this for your own good. As a noble of Da'an, I am a dignified lord.

, it’s fine if he’s not well-matched. He’s just a humble man, so I agree to ask him to marry one.”

"Humph, it's not just that people are talented, they will definitely be outstanding in the future." Ruyu muttered in a low voice.

"What? What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Besides, if he is in my camp and I am protecting him, he might be able to work as a commander in the future. He has to rely on himself, hum.

, I’m not looking down on him, he’s just a small county magistrate at most.” Wang Ping knew the darkness in the officialdom, and he wouldn’t even think about it without the backstage.

"That's not necessarily true. Although Mr. Li is not well-known, since he came to Pingdu, he has done nothing unexpected and major. Even his father, who claims to be the most powerful general in Da'an, has lost to him."

As soon as Ruyan heard that her father was belittling her lover, she immediately defended herself.

"You~~ you are facing outsiders before you have even passed through the door. I really hurt you in vain. Besides, who said that I claim to be the best general? I did it with real swords and guns. Back then in the capital, I was fighting in the military formation.

, won eighteen games in a row, won the championship in one fell swoop, and even made a bet with His Majesty the Emperor to win this fiefdom. You think your father's sword training was in vain and his military skills were read in vain."

"Maybe Mr. Li will have a larger territory than you in the future." Ruyu pouted and said.

"Okay, I think you two are determined, so I will give that boy two years. If he wants to have his own territory, I will agree. Otherwise, I will never see you two in my territory in the future. Just

That’s settled.” After saying that, Wang Ping didn’t eat and walked out angrily.

Marquis Wang Ping's words are a bit harsh. In Da'an, you may have a high title or be a high official, but it is very difficult to have a fief. Among the nine existing lords,

Except for Wang Ping, who won by luck, the other lords were all relatives of the emperor. By saying this, he was determined to break up the engagement.

The two sisters shed tears silently. After all, marriage is a major matter and no one can forcefully marry unless the head of the family nods. This is written in Da'an law. Besides, Li Tian doesn't have the ability to come to the lord's house to steal the bride.

When Li Tian heard this, he was a little stupid. Wasn't this old guy still fine half a day ago?

Are you embarrassing me?"

Wang Ping chuckled sinisterly, "Aren't you a very capable boy? You didn't even stay in my Marquis Mansion for three and a half days, but you stuck your butt out and lied to my daughter about making a private life-long contract with you, and you lied to me right away.

Two, okay." Wang Ping became angrier as he spoke, and continued with gritted teeth: "Two years, did you hear me? Boy, I haven't fulfilled my promise after that. If you dare to meet Ruyan Ruyu again, don't blame me for being rude. Still.

Yes, from now on, you can move out of my house and you are not allowed to see my daughter again. I don’t want to see you for a moment, so get out~~~."

Li Tian knew that it was useless to say more, so he nodded and said: "Okay, two years is just two years. I will definitely come to pick them up at that time. The words of my noble common people will be fulfilled, so please help me take care of them."

Give them two years." After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Li Tian didn't know how difficult it was to have a fiefdom. He thought that as long as he worked hard, he might actually have his own fiefdom. He had only been in this world for a short time, and he didn't know many things yet.

Wang Ping looked at Li Tian's walking back and seemed to suddenly think of something. Hey! This guy left before he even saluted me. He was so bold. When did even ordinary people become dignified? Help him take care of me? I'll take care of him.

For more than ten years, it was clear that he wanted to steal my treasure, but why did it suddenly become his? I was so angry that I said, "Come here, the lady is not allowed to go out for a month."

After half a month of giving instructions, Bachelor Liu Dong finally finished the examination papers. He shook his head when he saw it. Except for Li Tian's, you couldn't read the examination papers at all this time. There was nothing you could do. It was better to choose the taller one among the short ones.

Ten people were gathered to report to the court, and the results were also published in Pingdu. It's no wonder that the students were already nervous about the exam, but they were frightened by Li Tian's scream on the spot, and their brains were turned into paste. How could they still think like this?

Spring.

After leaving the Marquis Mansion, Li Tian waited in the inn for two days, but did not see the shadows of Ruyan and Ruyu. He also understood that he must be under the supervision of Wang Ping. The students on the list will be released within a month.

I have to rush to the capital to report.

Thinking that he was about to go to Beijing, Li Tian went back home and left eight hundred taels of silver for the old couple who had worked hard all his life. He treated him as his own son and had taken good care of him for more than half a year. It was really amazing.

Li Tian felt like he was at home. He just said that the money was awarded to the students by the court, and the old couple excitedly went to the ruined temple to praise the Sun God again.

When Academician Liu Dong returned to Beijing, he paid a special visit to Marquis Wang Ping and wanted to see Li Tian. As a result, Wang Ping said that Li Tian had gone home. He also said that after several days of careful observation, he found that this student was disrespectful and disrespectful.

And there is also a problem with moral character. When University Scholar Liu heard this, he was so happy. He was afraid that people like Li Tian would be attracted by these generals and stand on their side. Now seeing Wang Ping's expression, and

The news that he was defeated by Li Tian had long spread throughout Pingdu. Academician Liu secretly made up his mind to return to the capital to win over Li Tian and cultivate him into his confidant.

The name of the person and the shadow of the tree were reflected when Li Tian accompanied the old couple to show their filial piety. His deeds were spread by some rappers in Pingdu, and spread unknowingly in the country of Da'an. What's playing

The Divine Comedy's skills surpass those of the oiran, its compassion touches the heavens', it helps the poor, its literary stars come down to earth, it stuns the examiners, and it's the art of war that is like a god's victory over the Marquis of Wu.

For a time, Li Tian became popular in Da'an Kingdom as fast as a rocket. Many unscrupulous booksellers immediately published "The Secret of Li Tian's Success", "The Story Li Tian Has to Tell", "Li Tian and Li Tian"

Best-selling books such as "Xi Shi" were sold out as soon as they were released.

Li Tian finally set foot on the road to Beijing. It was about six or seven days' journey from his home to the capital. This time he did not ride a donkey, but hired a carriage with a lot of books and dry food on it. Li Tian

Tian was going to study hard for the imperial examination and not get a slap in the face like last time. He didn't know he had become a famous person yet.

Nothing happened along the way. Because Da'an country advocates culture, it is rare for bandits to fight and rob houses. Even if there is a quarrel, it is always what this sage said and that sage said. It seems who said it first, this one

The sage stood on his side.

Da'an's Kyoto is very prosperous, and envoys from various countries often come to Da'an. All kinds of merchants try their best to show off their skills in this gold-filled city. However, the corruption and darkness accompanying the prosperity of the city are also caused by

Come here.

After six or seven days, Li Tian's carriage also arrived outside Kyoto. The carriage and horses were tired along the way, and he really wanted to go to Beijing to find a luxurious hotel, wash himself off, and have a good sleep.

"What are you doing in front, and who is sitting inside?" A shout woke up Li Tian, ​​who was dozing off. He raised the curtain and saw that it was the officers and soldiers at the city gate who were asking questions. The driver pulled the reins and stopped the car.

, "Two officers, the people in my car are students who have entered the imperial palace." The coachman said with pride.

"Stop talking nonsense. If there is something in the car, get off the car and get checked." The two city guards didn't buy it at all. They had already formed a problem for the city gate soldiers like them by extorting some benefits from the carriages and horses coming to Beijing from other places.

Convention. And you have a pair of sharp eyes. You can tell at a glance what kind of carriage and horse you can't offend and what kind of carriage and horse are easy to bully. This is a technical job, and the luxurious carriage and horse may slap you both in the mouth when they get off.

, you can't afford to offend him. If you meet a poor guy, you will be thirsty and your eyes will pop out, but he won't even give you a penny. The best thing is a car like the one Li Tian rides in, which is very easy.

It's an ordinary carriage and horse, and to be able to ride in the carriage, it must be someone with a lot of money. Hey, is it easy to extort some money? You might even run into a thorny person.

Even if you meet two genuine ordinary people and complain about their behavior to the leader, if there is no backing, it will be nothing in the end. They will pay a tribute of money to the leader every month, which is not in vain.

.

Li Tian got out of the car and was very polite to the two city defenders. The king of hell likes to see little devils being difficult to deal with. This is an unchanging law and he doesn't want to cause any trouble.

"What's in the car?"

"Book"

"What's your name? Why does it look a bit like the bandit on the wanted picture?" The city guard nodded calmly to Li Tian, ​​which meant it was time to pay him.

This little trick was a piece of cake for Li Tian. He didn’t want to cause trouble, so he stretched out his hand and took out a few pieces of silver.

How can the recommendation official document be related to the bandits? You two have worked so hard, and with this small amount of silver, even if I, Li Tian, ​​buy some food and wine for the two officials, it will be a joke."

The two of them saw that Li Tian was very knowledgeable and generous with his actions. They smiled and nodded and said, "Well, why are you so embarrassed? What's your name???"

"Li Tian"

"Li Tian?? Ah! Li Tian from Pingdu? Are you Li Tian?"
