Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 141 Wen Dou wins and prepares for the wedding!
Three hours, whether it is long or not, is not short.

But it is not an easy task for some sons who are pampered all day long to successfully hunt and bring back their prey within three hours.

Sure enough, something happened in the first hour. One of the sons was in danger, and was brought back by the Li people, so he lost the qualification for the competition.

There is another one who secretly took the servants into the jungle and wanted the servants to help.

Of course, it was also discovered and lost the qualification for the competition.

One after another, at the second hour, only the participating sons came back with their prey.

However, those who came back one after another brought some small animals with them.

For example, rabbits and the like, and some people even caught a mouse and came back.

The rule is only that the prey can be hit, and there are no other rigid requirements, but it is a bit too much for one person to come back with bugs.

Of course it was also eliminated.

So except for Zhu Qi, the remaining nine participating sons either completed the task ahead of schedule, were eliminated early, or gave up automatically.

There are still those who are eligible to participate, and there are only three people left.

But just when everyone thought Zhu Qi was about to be eliminated, they saw a commotion coming from the entrance of the village.

"Look at that man! What is he carrying?"

"Ah...how is this possible?"

"He hunted it alone?"

"What a god!"

The people of the Li ethnic group, seeing Zhu Qi approaching not far away, couldn't help chattering.

There was no other reason, Zhu Qi came back alone dragging a wild boar, although the wild boar was not too big.

But as long as you go out to hunt often, you know that wild boars are very difficult to hunt.

Even experienced hunters sometimes overturn under the hands of wild boars.

Not to mention that the young man in front of him who brought back a wild boar doesn't look like an experienced hunter at all!
Everyone was amazed, and Bai Dongfang also saw that the person who came over was none other than Mr. Tang Qi whom he had met last night.

Tang Xiaozu, who was sitting on the side, also looked shocked. He and Bai Dongfang exchanged glances, and then Bai Dongfang summoned a person, gave orders in a low voice, and that person quickly retreated.

Not long after, the man came back again, and said to Bai Dongfang:
"Patriarch, I asked you just now, and this son did go hunting alone.

It seems that the wild boar was injured himself, and happened to see it behind his back, and picked up a leak. "

When Bai Dongfang heard this, he didn't expect to have such luck.

Tang Xiaozu also laughed, and said:

"This young man is really lucky, so he can meet injured wild boars.

But luck is also a part of strength. Since there is no provision in our rules that does not allow this, it is also cleared. "

Bai Dongfang also nodded, obviously agreeing with Tang Xiaozu's words.

And the other sons and brothers all stared at Zhu Qi with wide eyes.

They didn't know that Zhu Qi came here by "picking up leaks", and seeing that the Li people didn't say it was a violation, they regarded it as a wild boar hunted by Zhu Qi relying on his own strength.

How powerful is this?

Looking at the thin skin and tender meat, I didn't expect to have this ability.

Sure enough, is this the legend that people should not be judged by their appearance?
Zhu Qi also didn't say anything, and threw the wild boar over there. Although he was out of breath, he still had his hands behind his back, hiding his achievements and fame.

Then he sneaked a glance at Bai Tang Yu'er who was sitting on the chair, laughing uncontrollably.

Bai Tang Yu'er didn't know Zhu Qi's ability, needless to say, this wild boar must have been obtained by the imperial guards behind him.

The Wudou level was successfully passed. Not only was it smooth, but Zhu Qi also gained a lot of limelight.

However, Zhu Qi didn't care about things like being in the limelight. Winning the game and marrying Bai Tang Yu'er in a fair manner were the most important things.

The ten contestants were either eliminated or completed the fighting content. Bai Dongfang stood up again and continued to announce the content of the following text fighting.

Since martial fighting is not a simple and crude competition of martial arts, it is naturally impossible for literary fighting to be something like reciting poems and composing poems.

What's more, as the patriarch of the Li nationality, Bai Dongfang's concept is quite different from that of the Han people who respect the Four Books and Five Classics.

Therefore, the content of Wendou is not simply writing and drawing.

Bai Dongfang took out a water basin, and put a fish in the water basin, and Bai Dongfang said:
"I gave this fish a small iron ball. There is a big lake behind our village. Later, I put this fish into the big lake.

Of you four, whoever can find this fish first in the lake will win the final victory and marry my granddaughter, Bai Tang Yuer. "

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, he pointed to the place where Bai Tang Yuer was sitting in the stands.

Bai Tang Yu'er waved her hands generously to everyone, as a greeting.

When everyone saw Bai Tang Yuer's beauty, everyone felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Zhu Qi frowned, realizing that things were not that simple.

Zhu Qilai also saw that lake, not to mention the same size as lakes like Chaohu Qinghai, but the scale is not small.

There is no problem in supplying the Li people to develop fishery.

To find a fish in a lake like this?That's really even more outrageous than asking for a sword in a boat.

The saber fell, at least it was still under the water, even if it moved, it would not be too exaggerated.

If this little fish is put into the lake, it can't move like it's dead?
Not to mention, if the fish is eaten, can the little iron ball still be found?

This is simply an unsolvable problem. Could it be that Bai Dongfang deliberately made things difficult for others?This competition is not going to be carried out.

Just as Zhu Qi was thinking this way, the young masters and buddies around him seemed to have realized it too, and all of them looked unhappy.

But Bai Dongfang quickly said:
"I know this topic is a bit difficult, even if you take a year or so, you may not be able to complete it.

So, I have arranged helpers for each of you. "

Bai Dongfang clapped his hands, and four elderly couples came out behind him, and Bai Dongfang continued:

"These people are all experienced fishermen in our village.

From now on, you will eat and live in their homes, and the rest of the servants will not be allowed to follow.

They will assist you to find this iron ball. "

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, the complexions of those young masters looked better.

Soon, Bai Dongfang helped the four of them choose assistants.

The rest of the people were divided into helpers, and they couldn't wait to go to the lake to fish.

Bai Dongfang also followed them and went to the lake to release the fish.

It is estimated that these sons and brothers think that when the fish has just been released, going down to catch the fish is probably the fastest way.

But what was surprising was that Zhu Qi had no intention of following him at all.

Gao Jin walked to Zhu Qi's side and whispered:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange for experts to lurk in the lake.

When the patriarch releases the fish, make sure to catch it as soon as possible. "

After Gao Jin finished speaking, Zhu Qi was a little surprised and asked:

"Those masters can even do this? How can they not be discovered?"

Gao Jin was taken aback for a moment, then explained:

"Naturally, we have to wait for a while before making a move.

During the period, arrange more people to take turns to ventilate, as long as you take care of the fish.

Just wait until no one is around and take it out. "

Zhu Qi asked again:
"Then if the Li people are also in the water, can they not be found?"

Gao Jin was taken aback for a moment, he hesitated a bit, and said:
"This... I'm afraid..."

Zhu Qi smiled and said:

"Of course it can't be done, right?"

"It's really difficult."

Hearing Gao Jin's words, Zhu Qi nodded and said:

"Then just don't do anything. The real issue of this Wendou is not about that fish at all."

Gao Jin was a bit puzzled for a moment, Zhu Qi smiled, looked at the two elderly men and women who came over, and said:

"They are the problem."

The old couple quickly walked to Zhu Qi's side, and then said:

"Mr. Tang, let's hurry up. Those young masters have already gone fishing by the lake. If you go late, they will catch you first, and you will have no chance."

Get there first?Pull it down, there are more than a dozen martial arts masters on my side, and it is possible to catch that fish by relay.

What's more, these young masters, with the help of their servants, can't just rely on themselves and two elderly Li people to catch and release fish in the lake?

That was a dream come true.

But Zhu Qi didn't point it out, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Okay, but I'm afraid it's a bit far to walk there, why don't we go by carriage."

The two elderly Li people hesitated for a moment and said:
"That's good, it happens that we have old bones, but it takes a lot of effort to walk."

Zhu Qi didn't say much, and soon someone brought the carriage.

Of course, this is not a violation of the rules. I only said that the servants should not be allowed to help catch the fish, and I didn't say that it is not allowed to hurry.

Zhu Qi brought two old Li people to the lake, and saw many Li people getting ready by the lake.

Even in the water, there are quite a few Li nationality teenagers playing around there.

Sure enough, under such circumstances, it would be as difficult as heaven to get the masters of the Forbidden Army behind them to go into the water and prepare to catch fish.

Not long after, Bai Dongfang and others followed, and then a rather grand ceremony of releasing animals was carried out.

After the release, the three young masters immediately rushed up like crazy, urging the two old Li people who were helping them to row faster.

And on the shore, the two old men beside Zhu Qi had already stood on the boat and said to Zhu Qi:

"Young master, come up quickly. Our second elder took you to fish in the center of the lake. We can't let the three of them get ahead of you."

Zhu Qi was not in a hurry, and asked the two old men:

"Rowling a boat is a matter of strength, and what the kid needs to rely on more is the experience of the two elders.

What's more, as the saying goes, an old man in a family is like a treasure.

Judging by their age, the two of you should be quite young, the boy is a junior, how can the two elders row the boat for the boy?Please also sit down for the elders, and the boy will row the boat for the elders. "

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, he couldn't help but the old man in front of him refused, so he firmly held the two oars in his hands.

When the two old Li people saw it, they backed off a few words, but seeing Zhu Qi insisted, and holding the oar tightly in his hand, he didn't let go, and didn't say anything.

Ever since, on this bustling lake, Zhu Qi was the only one rowing a paddle over there, leading the two old people to wander slowly on the lake.

The three sons over there were much more lively. They were all soaking in the water to catch fish. One even dragged the two old men assigned to him into the water and asked them to help catch fish together.

After two sticks of incense passed in a row, Zhu Qi's arms were sore from rowing, so he stopped rowing and directly pulled the boat to the shore.

Over there, Gao Jin had already prepared tables, chairs, desserts, tea and other things.

This has been going on from morning to night, and I haven't even eaten lunch yet.

Zhu Qi was so hungry that he asked the two old people next to him if they had eaten, and the two old people naturally shook their heads and said with a smile:
"From morning to now, we have been watching the excitement, and we haven't eaten."

Zhu Qi slapped his head and hurriedly apologized, and then asked Gao Jin to go down to make arrangements.

Zhu Qi was the king of Liao, and he took a cook with him wherever he went, which was also a matter of common sense.

Not long after, a table of simple meals was served, all home-cooked.

Zhu Qi is not picky about food, so the two old people are naturally not picky about food. At this time, they were hungry, so they hurriedly started to eat.

Looking at the lake, the other six old Li people were not so lucky.

One of the sons saw that Zhu Qi was still eating on the shore.

My stomach also growled immediately.

A servant nearby yelled and asked him if he wanted to come back for something to eat, and the young master immediately yelled back:
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long. If I find a fish, I will eat it!"

After speaking, he continued to go into the water to fish up.

And the other two, the old Li people who took the money from the young master and went into the water to catch fish, calculated that the time was up, and hurried up.

They are already old, and they go into the water to fish, which can be regarded as hard work for them.

The young master still planned to use the money to continue hiring them to fish, but this time the two old men were not happy about anything.

But there was no way, the other party gave too much money, so he went down to fish again.

After two hours in a row, there was naturally no progress in the work of catching fish.

Zhu Qi had enough food and drink here, looked at the sparkling lake, and the beautiful scenery around him, feeling that the leisure time at this time is very beautiful.

The two elderly people around him were also full of food and drink, and the chatterbox opened up.

Zhu Qi chatted with the two old people. Zhu Qi's insight and knowledge reserve, he chatted from the sky to the earth, from the south to the north, which made the two old people admire.

While the three of them were chatting, the sky had gradually dimmed.

Seeing that the three young masters were still fishing in the lake, Bai Dongfang announced that today was over and everyone was invited to go back to the village together.

Then everyone returned to the village together.

This November day, although it is not very cold in November where the Li nationality gathers, but it has been soaked in the water, and now it is coming up again, so don't mention the feeling.

Those princes and buddies have servants around them, and they have already prepared new clothes and warm stoves.

But the two old people who got into the water earlier were not so lucky.

Zhu Qi didn't talk too much, and immediately asked Gao Jin to take care of the two old people together.

The clothes were cleaned and the stove was arranged immediately, and they were also asked to sit in the carriage together by the way.

The elders of the other two groups saw that the other two groups of elders had horse-drawn carriages, and they wanted to ride too. After all, they were exhausted after rowing all afternoon.

Zhu Qi didn't say a word, he even gave up his carriage and gave them a ride, while he went back on his horse.

Along the way, those Li people praised Zhu Qi one by one.

It is said that this young man is good, has no airs, and knows how to care for the elderly.

The other three young masters, upon hearing that this posture is a bit off, aren't we here for Wendou?

But forget it, wait until tomorrow to continue searching, even if the lake is drained, you must win!
All three of them thought so.

Unfortunately, there is no competition tomorrow.

Because as soon as he returned, Bai Dongfang announced in front of all Li people:

"This literary competition, the winner, Tang Qigong!"

When everyone heard that Zhu Qi had won, the Li people danced and looked very happy.

Even those old people sitting in Zhu Qi's carriage clapped their hands and congratulated each other with smiles on their faces.

Zhu Qi also had a smile all over his face, and kept clapping his hands in thanks to his surroundings.

The other three sons couldn't believe it one by one, and some of them shouted incomprehensibly:

"Wait a minute, how did he win? He didn't find the iron ball!
We didn't find it, but at least we worked hard, but this Tang Qi, from the beginning to the end, except for a few symbolic rowing at the beginning.

The rest of the time is either eating or sitting and chatting, touching the fish from the beginning to the end.

In terms of perseverance, Tang Qi is no better than us, he should be the first to be eliminated! "

After the son finished speaking, Bai Dongfang was not in a hurry, he stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Young master, don't you understand? This Wendou, from the beginning to the end, is not an exam for you to fish for fish."

The young master was taken aback, and Bai Dongfang explained:

"Since ancient times, filial piety has been the first priority. Two families marry and become one. Every family has an elder.

If I can't even do the most basic filial piety, how can I marry my granddaughter with peace of mind?
Tang Qigong, although he did not find the iron ball, but his behavior from the beginning to the end was filial piety.

This kind of character is what makes me feel at ease. "

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, the three sons were stunned, and one of them couldn't help shouting:

"I, I'm actually very filial, it's just that I was in a hurry in the afternoon."

Before the man finished speaking, Bai Dong conveniently raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile:

"The victory and defeat have been decided, so there is no need to say more. If the three young masters don't dislike it, two more people can stay in my village, enjoy delicious food and wine, and take a look at the beautiful scenery."

Then why don't you just watch other people get married?
The three sons were all downcast, but they were only the sons of wealthy businessmen, not arrogant and domineering second-generation officials.

Besides, Bai Dongfang was the head of the chieftain, and they couldn't afford to offend them, so they didn't say much, and left one by one.

As for Zhu Qi, Tang Xiaozu came over, grabbed his wrist kindly, and said with a smile:

"Xianxu, Xianxu!"

Bai Dongfang also waved his hand to announce that tonight's bonfire party will be celebrated with great fanfare!
Get ready for the wedding tomorrow!

Zhu Qi was taken aback, what the hell?So fast?
