I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 82
Sisters Wang Erlang and Wang Ge sent Huan Zhen out of the courtyard. Uncle Yuan Yan, with his white jacket and white clothes, stood by the side of the road, like a rock that does not fear the cold.I don't know when he came, but he has always been here.

The three members of the Wang family also saluted Uncle Yuan Yan.

Huan Zhen looked at Wang Ge and said dissatisfiedly: "During this time, when I teach Ah Yung etiquette, you listen in."

"Xie Huan Langjun." Wang Gehuan's face brushed, his eyes were more crooked than usual.

coming!Huan Zhen counted one, two...

"Mr. Huan Lang, I have something to ask."

Huan Zhen raised his hand: "Speak."

"You said just now that the scholars of exegesis are all young children, so their age..."

"The older ones are no more than six years old, and the younger ones..." He raised two fingers.

Wang Ge's smile froze, and he could already imagine the embarrassment of being stuck in the "kindergarten".

Huan Zhen comforted: "Don't worry. You must be the best craftsman among them."

This is true, in the future I will be the one who can read the most characters among craftsmen of the same age!Wang Ge saluted and thanked the other party for telling each other.

Uncle Yuan Yan raised his eyebrows, Huan Lang used to talk to the little girl, at most he would ask and answer, but this time he said one more sentence than Carpenter Wang.

Time flies by and enters the season of winter.

Erlang in Jiashe Village only has time to rest in this month every year, unless the sun is fine and there is no wind, he will go into the wild mountains together once.Those lazy people will suffer. If they don't accumulate wages, they can only suffer from the cold.

The weather was so cold that Wang Yun couldn't practice calligraphy anymore. The inkstone and brush would freeze when exposed to water, so he recited the "Popular Wen" written by Fuqian left by Huan Zhen every day.

Huan Zhen's departure this time was to participate in the "Village Soldiers Competition" in the countryside.For him, this martial arts competition is also the first pre-selection for the Youth Guard Barracks.In Xunqi Township, so is Wang Tian.

There are three kinds of martial arts competitions in each township: three rounds of shooting, chasing birds to the left, and cornering.

As long as he wins two items, Huan Zhen will be eligible to participate in the "Great Wu Competition" in the three townships in May next year, which will be held in the county.After passing the Dawu Competition in Tuyi County, he was called "Guardian Boy".After that, I went to Shanyin County, the county seat, to participate in the county martial arts competition. After being admitted, I was called a "quasi-guard army".It is equivalent to the "prospective craftsman" that Wang Ge is preparing for the next exam.

Three rounds of shooting: As the name suggests, only three rounds of archery are held.The first round is a test shooting, and the archers in the village will do the demonstration. Everyone will follow, regardless of whether they hit the target or not. There are musicians, drums, and singers next to them. The music is all from the "Book of Songs". All villagers need to shoot arrows according to the rhythm of the songs, music, and drums. Those who do not match the rhythm will not count as achievements even if they hit the target.

Chasing poultry to the left: It was originally one of the six arts of imperial chariots. Due to the poor conditions in the village and no chariots, it was simplified as chasing poultry on horseback and shooting from the left.One round of horseback riding in the venue is one round, and there are only three rounds.The one who shoots the birds in each round and captures them on horseback will be the best.Those who fail in two rounds do not have to try again in the third round.

Corner arrival: All town soldiers are grouped according to pavilions, villages, and ri areas, and then draw lots to face off in pairs.Before playing, wear a pair of horns and remove the jacket.During the duel, both hands and feet are used to fight with strength. It is allowed to attack people with the horns on the head, but other weapons are not allowed, let alone concealed weapons.Each person only conducts one round of competition, and losing once is the final result of this item.

Before Huan Zhen left, Jia Yu baked him twenty flax wheat cakes with pork fat.The meat sauce brought by Liu Bo was not willing to be eaten by the family at all, and it was put in a small urn for Huan Zhen to take with him.

Who would have expected that Huan Zhen's belly had been low for too long, and he ate happily all the way. When he arrived in the village, he would suffer from diarrhea intermittently until the time of the competition.Especially when the corner arrives!

Good brothers share weal and woe.In order to accumulate physical strength for the martial arts competition, Wang Tian from Xunqi Township called brothers and sisters around two days in advance, saved up wheat cakes, and adopted some adopted sons for Wang Taishou who was far away in Shanyin County.As a result, his physical strength was regained, and he continued to shove his pants intermittently until the game.Especially when the corner arrives!

Of course, this is all embarrassing after a few days.

Wang Ge is currently facing an embarrassing situation. When she complained to her eldest parents and grandfather, the elders were proud of not helping her for the first time.

During the winter season, the imperial court and the people rested from farming and labor.Once a person has nothing to do, it is easy to find something to do.Those sons who have reached a good age will choose this month to bravely go to the house of a famous girl and express their admiration by singing and composing poems.

As long as these boys don't yell rude words, the girl's family won't throw them out to beat people.I heard that some sages are so famous that even sons from other counties would trek here.

So who would have thought that Jin Chao was more open than her previous life!
Zhang Cai lingered most frequently in front of the Wang's courtyard.In the past two days, he learned a few lines of poetry from Xiao Lang, a widower who rented a house. After coming over, he took a few deep breaths and shouted: "Guanguan Jujiu...a gentleman is so good. Scattered Nymphium... Nymphium..."

His mother, Sun, has been watching at the gate of her own courtyard. Seeing Erlang scratching his head, she hurried over: "Your father left you alone, so you should shout!"

Zhang Cai said angrily, "I won't shout anymore! I just figured it out, that Xiaolang lied to me. What I asked was Ah Ge, and every sentence was her brother's name!"

Inside the house, Wang Ge didn't know that Zhang Cai had left, and kept covering his ears with cloth balls.One hundred feet and one hundred squares have been made.The inspection task was handed over to Wang Shu. During this process, Wang Shu happened to remember the rules and measures.

Let's go back to Huan Zhen.

When he first left Jiashe Village, he was still surprised.He didn't rush on the road for a while, and rode slowly with Tie Feng one in front and one behind.Tie Feng pointed to the lonely grave and the dilapidated hut in the distance of the weeds and said contemptuously: "Then Jia Xiaolang himself is not upright at all, he only guarded his father for a few days, and he couldn't bear the crime and returned to the village."

"There are all kinds of people in the world, as long as you don't commit evil or do evil, let him go. Drive!" Huan Zhen waved the hemp whip, the wheat cake behind his back was still warm.

They passed an inconspicuous fork in the road. Because of the decrease of pedestrians, the rough road that forked off had been gradually covered by grass, vines and mud, and it was almost impossible to see the road.

A woman in ragged cold clothes led Wang Zhu along the way.The two lowered their heads a lot, and when they looked up again, Wang Zhu couldn't believe that they were almost at Jiashe Village.

He pointed to the village that could be seen in the distance, and said to the woman, "Aunt Yang, I'm almost there. You go to my house, rest for two days and then go back to Shatun?"

Mrs. Yang made a soft "um" sound, as if she didn't want to say more when she was tired.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yao are sisters from their mothers, not Wang Zhu's aunts.Wang Zhu called her Aunt Yang.

Mrs. Yao has remarried and left Shatun.How could the Yao family wish to raise Wang Zhu for nothing, and in addition to the lack of farm work in winter, it seems that Wang Zhu eats all day and does not work hard.

Yang is a widow, and she has never had children before she became a widow. After her husband died of illness, no one dared to marry her.There was no one in her natal family, and there was no landlord in Shatun, so she couldn't do it even if she wanted to be a tenant. On weekdays, Mrs. Yang lived by selling thorns and firewood, suffering from a hard life. At first glance, she looked like an old woman.

She sent Wang Zhu back to Jiashe Village because the Yao family promised to give her two liters of food.Give one liter first, and give the rest when you go back.

At this moment, Wang Erlang was talking to the calf under the cowshed, and sometimes he was very happy. Those who didn't know really thought that the calf understood human language. "Oh, the sun is going down, let's go, and take you back to the house. Go back to the house, and tomorrow I will cut some more grass for your stomach."

moo...

Wang Erlang is happy again.He still doesn't know that the fate of the previous life has come back again.

　From the mother sister: refers to the cousin sister.
