I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 257 Reappearance
In the afternoon, the sun is just right, there is no wind, and it doesn't look cold when walking outside.

Yang Xu, who was holding a wooden basin, glanced at Zhan Feiyu, who was walking slowly holding a hand stove, and asked with a look of disgust, "Why are you so afraid of the cold when you practice martial arts?"

In the morning, he still admired Zhan Feiyu's hard work in studying, but now he looked at him with a fox fur cloak, a hood, and a hand stove, and he still looked so dainty.

"It's not that I don't have money, why should I freeze the charcoal if I can afford it?" Zhan Feiyu replied lightly, if it wasn't for the conditions, she would rather be a salted fish, eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

It's great to have money!Yang Xu was blocked and had nothing to say, so he could only stride forward with a sullen face.

But after three or two steps, he slowed down to accommodate the slow-moving Zhan Feiyu, still full of disgust, even though he was one year older than him, the little girl was still a little girl.

"Yang Xu!" As soon as the two reached the end of the village, they saw a group of children rushing out with a whoosh.

The leading child looked to be about the same height as Yang Xu, also dark and thin, wearing a patched jacket.

After Daniel stood still, four or five followers stood on both sides, and three little girls stood not far away.

"Get out of the way!" Yang Xu said bluntly, and this attitude clearly caused conflicts with the children in the village.

Daniu was enraged all of a sudden, his eyes were as wide as a bull's, and he was furious.

There are many children in Shitou Village who are about the same age as Yang Xu, but they are not Yang Xu's opponents. If they bully the few with more, even if they win, they will inevitably be scolded when they go home.

The men in Shitou Village are all upright, whoever bullies the few, or the big bullies the small, is nothing like a man.

Da Niu and his group of children fought and fought repeatedly, and then they fought and failed again and again, and none of them conceded. It's just that they stared blankly at Zhan Feiyu behind Yang Xu.

Yesterday I heard that a carriage came to the village, and the nobleman went to the foot of the mountain, where the three grandparents of the Yang family lived, so they must have gone to their house.

The villagers who were collecting firewood also saw a little girl. When they came back, they said that she was a beautiful water spirit. Xiangwu County couldn't raise such a noble girl, at least she came from Fucheng.

It was freezing cold, but Daniel and the others had nothing to do, so they slipped out to block people.

Yang Xu stuffed the tofu bowl into Zhan Feiyu's hand, and when he stood in front of him, he put on a posture, "Want to fight?"

"Yang Xu, do you think we're afraid of you?" The bull yelled angrily, with new and old grudges coming up all at once.

"Hit it! I'm afraid of farts!"

"Whoever is afraid today is not a man!"

"Yes, Yang Xu, don't think that you look down on people because you have practiced martial arts!"

Several boys followed suit, with loud voices and shaking their fists from time to time.

Putting the wooden basin on the ground, Zhan Feiyu was still holding his hand stove, looking at the tough and belligerent children. The boys in Jinlin Village were also naughty, and they fought even when they went up and down the mountain, but they really didn't have such a posture. It looks like a fight to the death.

"Stay away." Yang Xu turned around and confessed that although Zhan Feiyu fell over his shoulder yesterday, the real man Yang Xu thought that he underestimated the enemy, and he could never get serious with the little girl.

But today, Yang Xu no longer has any worries when facing the big bulls who are provoking trouble.

Daniu and the others originally came to see the beautiful little girl from Fucheng, but they will be on the verge of death. This fight is inevitable. They glanced at Zhan Feiyu, who had red lips and white teeth, and echoed, "Yes, the little girl, stand aside. .”

The grandparents of the Yang family have lived in Shitou Village for six or seven years, and the villagers know a little about the situation. They heard that they used to lead soldiers to fight, and they were sent here for committing crimes.

At that time, there were local ruffians who overturned the wall of Yang's house in the middle of the night, trying to steal something for money, but the six scoundrels were beaten and cried for their parents.

Afterwards, one of the rascals was not convinced, and sought out his brother-in-law who was a policeman in the Yamen, trying to win the game.

But in the end, a group of arresters came, so arrogant that everyone in the village thought that the grandparents of the Yang family were going to be in trouble. Unfortunately, with a fire stick, Yang Shoucheng beat up a dozen arresters with big knives. The scurry away.

In the end, this matter just passed away without a sound.

The eldest son of the village Zheng's family worked as a clerk in a shop in the county town. Only when he came back to the village did he find out that the rascal's brother-in-law was beaten by the county master and lost his job.

The grandparents and grandchildren of the Yang family lived in peace in the village. Later, when they saw Yang Shoucheng go hunting in the mountains, the men in the village also cheekily joined them. Although Yang Shoucheng was taciturn, he did not hide his secrets and gave them advice.

When Yang Shoucheng was teaching Yang Xu how to practice martial arts, some children in the village came over and wanted to learn from them, but Yang Shoucheng didn't drive them away.

It’s just that Daniu and the others are used to being wild, and they usually come for more than ten days to join in the fun. In the end, they can’t bear the hardship and have boring squats, and none of them are willing to learn.

Even if his grandfather and father beat people with a stick, it would be useless. In the first few years of practicing martial arts, they only beat their neck bones and didn't know how to learn any moves. It's normal for children in the village not to have this patience.

But this caused Daniu and the others to be hostile to Yang Xu. Whoever let him be talked about by the elders all day long, they can't bear hardships, but Yang Xu can do it, so the two sides started fighting as soon as they met.

People in the village don't care about the children's fights, especially General Yang and Yang Shoucheng. They peck at each other, and their noses and faces are swollen for a few days at most.

"Brother." Da Hua came over, gave Zhan Feiyu a vicious look, and then tugged on Daniu's sleeve, "I want the flower on her head if you win."

Children in the village sometimes get prizes when they fight, such as small swords cut from wood, or a handful of wild vegetables dug from the mountains. As Daniel's sister, Dahua usually looks down on what Daniel wins, but this is different.

Just walking all the way from the foot of the mountain to the end of the village, Zhan Feiyu, who was a little hot, took off the hood, revealing the silk flowers in his hair.

If this is in spring and summer, the big flowers will not be jealous, and you can wear it by picking any flower.

But at the end of October, the outside was frozen early in the morning, and the surrounding area was barren, and there were not a few green leaves to be seen. Dahua and the others only had a new headband to wear during the Chinese New Year.

So it's not just the big flower who is jealous, the other three little girls are also jealous. Such a beautiful head flower is just like a real flower, with petals layered on top of each other.

Zhan Feiyu didn't even have time to object, Daniel and Yang Xu had already fought together, and the rest of them stood aside and cheered up.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yang Xu obviously had the upper hand, but he also knew that it was because he practiced martial arts, so he shouted provocatively, "Go together!"

The other boys looked at each other, probably because they didn't want to lose face in front of the beautiful little girl in Fucheng, so they all rushed over with a whoosh, and instantly a group of people fought into a ball.

Zhan Feiyu glanced at the carriage parked not far away. It seemed that the lady did not intend to give up. No, to be precise, it should be that the Marquis of Zhenbian did not intend to give up.

"Ma'am, Master Xu is fighting with some children." Lian'er, who got off the carriage first, replied in a low voice, looking at the children who rolled on the ground with distaste, although she called him Master, her eyes were full of contempt.

In the carriage, Zhang Yiyi didn't want to get out of the carriage, because Shitou Village was too poor, so she returned to Xiangwu County after leaving yesterday, and this morning, she took the carriage and bumped all the way for more than half an hour before arriving at Shitou Village.

Before meeting Yang Xu, Zhang Yiyi still had feelings for him, after all, she was the child born in October.

She had been pregnant since she entered the Zhenbianhou's Mansion, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage in less than three months. So far, Yang Xu can be said to be her only child, and she will rely on her in the future.

But thinking of Yang Xu, who was dirty like a beggar yesterday, was trampled on the ground like a dead dog by the guards, and now he is messing with the children in the village like a wild child, Zhang Yiyi is also extremely disgusted, and even more resentful General Qi Yang and Yang Shoucheng, how did they teach their children.

"Stop beating, someone is coming!" Dahua was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhang Yiyi and his party getting off the carriage, and then shouted.

It's a pity that they couldn't hear the big cow who was angry at all. They were not Yang Xu's opponents alone. Since they fought together this time, they definitely couldn't lose, otherwise they would really be ashamed if it spread.

"Why are you still standing there, pull them away!" Zhang Yiyi scolded softly, even though she hated Yang Xu's embarrassment, she was her son after all, and she couldn't tolerate being bullied by some wild children.

Guard B and Guard C ran over without saying a word. After returning to Xiangwu County yesterday, although Madam didn't say anything, they all knew that Guard A offended Madam. After all, he was the one who injured Master Xu.

Guard A also knew that he had done something wrong, so he knelt outside the yard to plead guilty, but Lian'er deliberately didn't go in to report, it was freezing cold, even if he was a martial artist, he couldn't stand it from kneeling at noon until the next morning.

Zhang Yiyi immediately scolded Lian Er when she found out, asked the bodyguard A to get up to rest, and then called the doctor over.

But they are not stupid as the guards of the Hou's mansion. Madam's kindness may only be superficial, but they punished people with the hand of a maid, but it will not affect Madam's reputation in the slightest.

As soon as the two guards came over, they were about to strike cruelly. Yang Xu became angry after being stunned, and pulled Daniel over to avoid Guard B's kick.

Seeing this, Zhan Feiyu kicked the wooden basin at his feet towards Guard C, blocking his attack as well.

Daniu and the others stood together and looked at the two guards warily. If Yang Xu hadn't moved so fast just now, Daniu's face would have turned pale just thinking about it.

"Xu'er, do they bully you like this on weekdays? Does your father not care?" Zhang Yiyi staggered a little, looking at Yang Xu who was covered in ashes with great distress, and seeing the wound on his face was even more distressing He was so upset that he took out the Xiupa and wiped it for him.

One backed away, and Yang Xu was like a little wild wolf in the wasteland. His dark eyes looked hostilely at Zhang Yiyi, who was about to cry, and seeing her choke up in sadness, Yang Xu felt a momentary fluctuation in his heart, but a Thinking of all that happened yesterday, he returned to his indifference and rejection.

"Xu'er, I'm your mother." The beauty's tears are the most distressing, Zhang Yiyi's broken voice was full of pain, she hugged Yang Xu, and cried in a low voice, "Xu'er, poor mother Child, you..."

The big cows were all dumbfounded, Yang Xu actually has a mother, and she is so beautiful!Like a fairy in the sky, they always thought that Yang Xu only had a grandfather and a father. Before that, Xiong Shan couldn't beat Yang Xu, so they laughed at him for not having a mother, and ended up being spanked by his grandfather when he returned home.

The young men in Stone Village can fight, but they can't talk like old ladies.

There was a faint fragrance in the soft embrace, and Yang Xu, who was hugged, was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he struggled, but Zhang Yiyi hugged him tightly, and Yang Xu didn't dare to use too much force. Although he was only eight Years old, but he has been practicing martial arts for several years, and his strength is almost catching up with ordinary adult men.

Eyes turned red from crying, Zhang Yiyi calmed down, looked lovingly at Yang Xu in front of him, and wiped off the dust on his face little by little with the handkerchief in her hand, "Xu'er, you have grown up, mother dreaming I'm thinking of you."

Looking at Yang Xu who was still like a wooden pile, Zhang Yiyi's face showed no trace of impatience or disgust, and looked at the big cows and the others beside her, and said softly, "You can't bully Xu'er just because of the number of people. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yiyi took the brocade box from Lian'er and opened it, and there were neatly arranged four-color cakes inside.

Looking at Daniel and the others, their eyes widened all of a sudden, and those who were greedy even swallowed their saliva. Zhang Yiyi felt disgusted again, but there was a gentle smile on her delicate face, and she picked up a piece of pastry with her snow-white fingers and put it In the hands of Daniel, "In the future, we must get along well with Xu'er, and we can't fight anymore."

One piece for each person, Da Niu and the others had cakes in their hands, and besides the cakes for the four little girls of Dahua, Zhang Yiyi even brought some silk flowers, which were just right for the little girls to wear, and each of them also had one flower.

"The little girls have to dress up beautifully, and it's pleasing to the eye." Putting the silk flower on the big flower's head, Zhang Yiyi smiled and praised a few words, which made the four little girls smile. I can't take care of it anymore, I wish I could go home and look in the mirror immediately.

Yang Xu still had a stern face, picked up the wooden basin, looked back at Zhan Feiyu, "Let's go."

Zhang Yiyi's hand gripping Xiupa suddenly tightened a little bit, looking disappointed and sad at the sullen Yang Xu, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, with tears in her eyes.

"Yang Xu, why didn't you call your mother?" Daniel said in a low voice. Originally, Yang Xu was good at martial arts, and Daniel also admired him, but he couldn't bear Yang Xu's appearance the most. The little aunt who said it was like a aunt, and no one owed money, so who would look at it with a straight face!
"Good boy, don't blame Xu'er, it's all my fault, I haven't come to see Xu'er all these years, he should blame me." Zhang Yiyi hurriedly spoke, speaking to Yang Xu in a soft voice, telling Yang Xu what was wrong. Take it all on yourself.

Daniu couldn't help but think of his mother, who yelled at the head of the village, and could be heard at the end of the village. On weekdays, he was a little lazy, and his mother slapped her to greet her. She is not as good as Yang Xu's mother, beautiful and beautiful. gentle.
