Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 212 Assessment
"What, you're sorry to say? Okay. Then Brother Shao, just tell me."

Seeing that Jia Cong had no reaction at all, Jia Hui didn't care either. These two boys were superficial brothers, and their favorite thing in life was to see each other's misfortune.

If Jia Cong can't break through here, then there's Li Shao.
That's great!

Li Shao breathed a sigh of relief. After getting along with him for nearly a month, Li Shao already had a rough idea of ​​what his brother-in-law was like.
When it's serious, it's more reliable than anyone else, but once you get interested, it's also the first to be unreliable!
If he and Jia Cong had not said anything for the sake of the illusory brotherhood, this man would really go to the Imperial College to find their husband to understand the situation!
Sigh, I'm sorry, brother Cong, I didn't want to, but if I didn't tell him, my brother-in-law would have gone to school and found out about my embarrassing things.

A tall figure holding a feather duster and exuding evil aura appeared in Li Shao's mind, especially the feather duster. Li Shao could even accurately describe which section of the feather duster hurt the most and which section made the loudest sound.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and Li Shao couldn't help but shudder.

"I said, I said, brother-in-law, brother Cong today"

"Brother Shao, don't say anything!"

"Cong, brother Cong, yes, I'm sorry!" Li Shao lowered his head in shame.

Although they are superficial brothers and fair-weather friends, this feeling of betraying others is really uncomfortable and unsettling.
but
The scene of his sister waving a feather duster at him was so terrifying that Li Shao could only say "I'm sorry" to Jia Cong in his heart.
"Brother-in-law, Brother Cong didn't memorize the homework that Mr. Gan Quan left yesterday, and Gan Quan was still talking nonsense next to him! But Brother Cong thought that this guy was helping him, and he learned to say everything Gan Quan said!

The teacher clearly wanted everyone to memorize the "Thousand-Character Essay", but he was willing to do something wrong and read a poem by Monkey Sun from "Journey to the West"!

It was during that period that the heaven and earth created the spirit hybrid immortal, an old ape in the Huaguo Mountain.The water curtain cave is a family business, and I worship my friends and seek my teachers to learn about Taixuan. 'That one!

This made the husband angry and slapped Brother Cong's hand twenty times! "

"What? Hahahaha!" Jia Hui understood instantly and burst out laughing.
He personally dropped off these two boys on their first day of school, and of course their teacher Jia Hui had met them.

A very humorous old gentleman has been living in Chang'an Imperial College for nearly 40 years. He has a great temper and is very good at enlightening children.

As soon as the young masters and young ladies from wealthy families in Chang'an City reach the age of enlightenment, the first candidate they think of as their enlightenment teacher is this old gentleman.

Although the old gentleman usually has a good-natured attitude, he doesn't seem to be embarrassed by others.

but!The old gentleman has an inverse scale that can kill him if touched - his appearance.

No matter who you are worried about, it's the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, and the old gentleman will take it!
It was because the old gentleman looked so distinctive that he only passed the examination as a scholar.Just as he was about to take the exam, the academic administrator saw him and said, "It's an eyesore." The old gentleman didn't even enter the examination room, so he was kicked out.
Although he was devastated because of his dream of failing to take the imperial examination, the old gentleman in his youth did not have the courage to commit suicide like Zhong Kui, who was in a similar situation to him in the previous dynasty and was now revered as a big shot in the underworld. He could only live in humiliation. .

This has also become an eternal pain in the old man's heart.

Because when I was young, I followed my parents to escape from famine and entered Guanzhong, which damaged my foundation. As a result, when my family became rich, I couldn't grow any extra meat no matter how much I ate or took supplements, so I was as thin as a hemp stick.

He is also short, and the most terrible thing is that his lips are so thin that they are almost non-existent.
It was fine when he was young, but as he grows older, the old man's appearance becomes more and more like a dying old ape.
And, this guy named Gan Quan is really bad.
"Brother Shao!" Jia Cong immediately looked at the little brother who didn't even struggle with an unbelievable look. What about the loyalty of the good brothers that he promised?
Although if it were him, he would most likely have confessed directly to his eldest brother, but
But if you just say that I didn’t memorize the book well, wouldn’t it be enough if my husband slapped me on the hand?Why say so much more?
Okay, okay, you were the one who was unjust to me first, so don’t blame me for bringing out your embarrassing things!
"Brother, do you know? Brother Shao did it the day before yesterday."

"Brother Cong, don't say that!" When Li Shao heard Jia Cong mention the word "the day before yesterday", when he just laughed at Jia Cong, the gloating on his face instantly transferred to Jia Cong's face, and he became the one with the sad face.
"Brother, do you know? The day before yesterday, Brother Shao's clothes were not soaked because he accidentally fell into the small pool in the school. He was a bitch who annoyed Zhang Mo and the others. Li Mo and the others made him Lift it up and throw it into the sewers on both sides of the street!

Ha ha ha ha! "

Jia Cong put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky laughing. Li Shao next to him had a face full of grief and anger, as if he had been knocked down after experiencing all the suffering in the world. He slumped on the ground and secretly felt sad.
"Huh?" Jia Hui looked at Jia Cong who was laughing wildly with confusion.

Isn't this just an embarrassment caused by the mismatch between skills and mouth? What's so funny about this?

"Why do you think it's so unspeakable that you haven't beaten someone before? If you lose an argument with someone, try to win it back the next time. The same goes for your fights. If you can't beat someone, go home and practice more. You can make up for it next time, right? Already?" Jia Hui turned around and looked at his brother-in-law who was secretly feeling sad.

"But. But"

"But what? Are you embarrassed to tell your brother-in-law? Your parents haven't come with you. Your sister and your brother-in-law are your parents. Just say it. Don't be embarrassed and don't think about the things that are there or not. I will still fight. Do you want a meal?" Jia Hui knelt down and tried to look level with Li Shao who was lying on the ground.

"Brother-in-law." After hearing Jia Hui's words, Li Shao was moved for a moment.
But no, it’s really not easy to tell adults about this matter. Just when he was thinking about how to fool him, Li Shao forgot that Jia Cong was still standing next to him.
"Hehe, brother, you know, we all go to our classmates' homes to play one by one. But when it was Zhang Mo's turn a few days ago, brother Shao got lost in the yard. While wandering around, he met Zhang Mo and his sister Zhang Rui, just after saying a few words to ask for directions, Zhang Mo discovered him, and then Zhang Mo acted like crazy and started to trouble Brother Shao."

Jia Cong, who was excited, didn't see Li Shao's hint of despair at all. It was like a flood from the Three Gorges, spilling out all the bad things between Li Shao and Zhang Mo.

"Ah, this... Brother Shao, how old are you guys? Why do you understand so much?"

Jia Hui was a little confused. Such an older child actually knew about things between men and women. Was he unable to keep up with the times?But I am only in my early 20s!
A few faint footsteps in the distance made Jia Hui subconsciously alert. He looked in the direction of the sound with the corner of his eye, and saw a tall figure holding a child walking towards him as cold as frost.
Well, yes, yesterday some soldiers came to report that the Queen had ended her trip to Huaqing Pool ahead of schedule and was returning to Chang'an with a group of ladies.

However, Jia Hui thought that Li Wan and the others would arrive home in the evening or even at night. Unexpectedly, before it was evening, the child's mother came back with Xiao Yanei.
"Oh, okay, you two can do it. I feel like I can't control you anymore, but..."

"But what?" Jia Cong, who looked excited, was completely unaware of the approaching danger, and still looked at Jia Hui with a grin on his face, waiting for him to speak.

"But the person who can take care of you is back, isn't that right?" The smile once again transferred from Jia Cong's face to Jia Hui's face.

Jia Hui opened his hands and pressed on the heads of the two superficial brothers, and gently turned their faces to the left.
"Ah, sister-in-law." "Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, ahhhh!!!"

. . . . . .

The fate of the two brothers was left to Li Wan. After two days of cozying up with Li Wan, whom he had not seen for several days, Jia Hui became busy again.

He was not so busy originally. This was actually due to Jia Hui's negligence. He forgot that he was also responsible for the recruitment examination for the Shangzhiqin Army.
But nothing went wrong. After all, the assessment items and the venue were decided early, and they could only start three days after the Jiangnan Preparatory Japanese Army stationed farthest away arrived in Chang'an for repairs.

Under a cloudless sky, thousands of officers from the elite troops of Daqi and Jiuzhou were neatly arranged in a square formation on the school field.

The flags are fluttering, the armor is flashing, and the smell of iron and blood is strong.

Each officer exudes a cold temperament, which seems to make people feel an invisible sense of oppression.

No one whispered to each other, no one made a sound, and there were many people standing in the archery towers around the school grounds who couldn't stop watching.Officers know that the assessment begins from the moment they enter the school grounds.

Boom!
A loud drumbeat sounded, and the gate of the school grounds opened wide. Suddenly, two knights in golden armor led a group of knights in gorgeous armors into the school grounds.

In an instant, the entire school grounds boiled with roars like a violent storm.

The cavalry was like the wind, running in a full circle around the phalanx formed by the officers.The officers all looked at the pair of cavalry with enthusiasm, identifying their identities.

The two saints arrived in person with the kings and lieutenants, and behind them were their own capital commanders who led them to Chang'an.

They want to witness this Shangzhi pro-military assessment together.

Each of the officers stood bravely in the wind.When he thought that all his colleagues around him were competitors, his murderous aura instantly gathered, and the entire phalanx suddenly erupted with a strong sense of iron blood and murder.

Everyone on the school field wanted to show off the skills they had honed for half a lifetime, and wanted the two saints to see the burning passion and fierce blood in their chests!
Come on, let a certain family try your skills and see if you step on a certain family's body to enter the Kamizanao Army, or if a certain family uses you as a stepping stone!

Soon, the Second Saint, the kings and generals completed a circle and came to the general ordering platform in front of the school field.

The two saints stood at the front, followed by the kings and princes, and the commanders of each army stood behind the princes.

On July [-]th of the seventh year of Tiansheng, elite troops such as the Nine Borders Frontier Army, Jingying Camp, Cao Gong Children, and Jiangnan Preparatory Japanese Army lined up neatly on the school field, looking at the two figures on the podium with fanaticism. Wearing gold armor and several figures wearing iron armor.

Those who can come here to take part in the assessment, although they may not be the most capable in each unit that is allowed to participate in the assessment, must be those who are the most loyal to the emperor in each unit.

However, in addition to the troops that had been agreed upon with the Second Saint at the beginning, the emperor suddenly added another troop in the middle of the battle - the Linzi Mausoleum Guards.

Also known as Linzi Daying, Linzi Guard, Xiaoling Guard, etc.

As the name suggests, this is a force responsible for garrisoning Linzi, the eastern capital of Longxing, the ancestral tombs of the old Chen family, and the Imperial Mausoleum of Taizu. Almost all of them are composed of Linzi Township Party members. They are unspeakably loyal to the Chen royal family, and even Cao Gong The disciples may not be able to catch up.

Jia Hui had almost no interaction with them.

The only intersection was with Song Huan, his classmate when they were studying in the Imperial City, and they were not very familiar with each other, so their relationship was average.

Song Huan is a descendant of Taizu's mother's family, and the nephew of Emperor Taizong's Xiaoxian Emperor. When Taizu started his business, [-]% of the money, food and materials were provided by the old Song family. He had higher qualifications than the Jia family. The Lao Qi people among the Lao Qi people have a scary background.

When it was time to start the rebellion, the old Song family still had people leading troops to fight, but when heroes joined the Qi army one by one, the Song family's abilities were somewhat insufficient.When the Qi army was about to conquer Luoyang, Grandpa Song, Taizu's grandfather, made a decisive decision and retreated bravely. The whole family retreated to the second line and moved to logistics positions to work hard without complaint.
It can be said that he works hard without complaint, but old lady Shi Taoshi, who is responsible for the overall logistics, can he really control them at the risk of his life?

When Da Qi Hunyuan unified the world and rewarded them based on merit, the old Song family gave up the title of Duke (of course, their military merit was not enough) and asked for some low-ranking uncles who could pass down the family line. After receiving his title, he returned to Linzi and became a rich man helping the old Chen family to look after their ancestral graves.

The main focus is to know the current situation, retreat bravely from the rapids and have a clear understanding of one's own abilities.

Taizu was so moved, my grandpa, uncles and cousins ​​loved me!

With one stroke of a pen, the old Song family was allowed to ascend to five generations of nobility without downgrading, and then began to demote the title for a total of ten generations!

After the knighthood, everyone discovered that the entire Old Song family had a marquis (forcibly given to Mrs. Song, who also represented the title of the head of the family), six earls, 29 viscounts, 47 barons, and lords at all levels below the baron (including Posthumous title) a total of 290 four!

In addition, ordinary tribesmen also have many preferential treatments, such as not paying homage to officials, and ten acres of land being tax-free.

But it doesn't matter. After all, the Song family is just hanging out in Linzi, and Song Huan is already the commander of the Lingwei Army. There is no need to compete with others to earn a place in the direct army, and lose status!
Nodding to Song Huan as a greeting, Jia Hui took three steps forward after getting the permission of the Second Saint, pulled out the Taizu sword representing the Taiwei's identity and shouted towards the front.
"Assessment begins!"
