Chapter 2699 The Capital (55)

Old Feng smiled and said: "Little bastard, you have guts! You will be a character in the future!"

The little Bazi got on the donkey again when he was full, and walked slowly with Liao Sanniang in the bridle, and the two got closer to each other in words.

Xiao Bazi said: "Although the son is not a good man, he still hopes to improve a little, so as not to embarrass the godmother, and the godmother will bother to teach him in the future."

Liao Sanniang said with a smile: "I usually see that you are a good-natured and sensible person in the middle of the game. If you want to lead you, you don't say anything, but you have to teach you to become a talent. We martial arts practitioners don't have so many false tricks." , Just look at the strength of courage. Since ancient times, martial arts have included equestrianism, long stacks, swords and guns, and heavy lifting. The so-called horses, steps, bows, knives, and stones are based on fighting strength. If you are weak in martial arts, everything will stop. The opponent One shot, if you can't block it, you will be shot to death. I will test you, do you know the martial arts a few years ago?"

Xiao Bazi was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Is it about the champion of martial arts in the imperial examination?"

Liao Sanniang said approvingly: "You actually know."

Xiao Bazi said: "At that time, I was a few years younger, and I only vaguely remember that when the martial arts competition was announced, the only two candidates who could use a heavy knife of a hundred catties were deposed, and only one was selected. Everyone is unfair, and this matter has caused a lot of noise in the capital."

Liao Sanniang nodded, and said: "It was the fourth year of Chongzhen, the one who was deposed was Xu Yanqi, and the other was Wang Laipin. Later, Wang Laipin won the first prize in the palace examination. Xu Yanqi was out of luck, but he didn't win the three prizes. , but if he couldn't wield a heavy knife and show his strength that day, who would be willing to defend him?"

"It's good if you don't have any money, so you don't get PG'd!" Old Feng laughed.

"Pick? Pick... PG?" Little Bazi was dumbfounded.

There is an inexplicable bad habit in the martial arts examinations of the Ming Dynasty: after the Yuan Dynasty, the champion of martial arts came out to wear red and paraded in the street. Some officials would rush up and shout "pick the champion PG", and the champion fled to the gate of the government office of the Ministry of Rites. let go.

After hearing Lao Feng's explanation, everyone laughed.Little Bazi said angrily: "What kind of custom is this? Not to mention vulgarity, it's too much to insult a warrior."

Liao Sanniang laughed and said, "You know all these irrelevant gossip are messing around! I'm serious!"

Liao Sanniang sighed softly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "My Liao family has its own methods of throwing, catching, and lifting stone locks, supplemented by massage, kneading, and external use of ointment, which is the so-called systematic training of the Song Dynasty. The method of recovery, I have practiced since I was a child, it is the most able to increase strength without getting injured, after the matter here is over, I will pass it on to you."

Little Bazi hurriedly said, "Thank you, godmother."

After walking for a while, Xiao Bazi asked again: "Mother, what kind of martial arts are we?"

Liao Sanniang said: "My skill is handed down from my family. Martial arts are rare in this world, and each family keeps them private. Therefore, apart from martial arts in the army, they are mostly taught by father and son and brothers in the family. This is the Shaolin Temple. Since Master Fuyu in the Yuan Dynasty, It is also in accordance with the patriarchal system of the secular world to establish a genealogy of generations, and the succession of master and apprentice from generation to generation is similar to that of blood relatives.

Liao Sanniang paused, and then said: "Although my family uses knives, they are single-handed. My saber skills are not passed down from my own family, but from Mrs. Wa's lineage."

Little Bazi asked, "Who is this Mrs. Wa?"

Liao Sanniang replied: "This Mrs. Wa is Shi Jie Xuan Fusi. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates invaded the sea, and Jiajing Lord selected Mrs. Wa from Tianzhou, Guangxi, to command the native officials and wolf soldiers of various states to fight against the Japanese. The wife was handsome in her sixtieth year. The army, with their children, grandsons and nephews, came thousands of miles to Jingnan, and there was a word before the battle, "This trip is also, I swear not to be born with a thief." In February, he went to Suzhou, and was appointed by Governor Zhang Jingwei to serve under the account of General Yu Dayou, and then he was in Jinshan. , Songjiang Shu and the Japanese slaves fought together, the wolf soldiers were brave and fierce, beheading hundreds of people, the Japanese slaves were discouraged, and retreated to Zhelin. In April, Zhao Wenhua, Yan Song's righteous son, supervised Zhang Jing and sent Mrs. Wa to attack Zhelin. Mrs. When I went to Caojing, I was ambushed by Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates besieged several times. Mrs. Wa's hair was wielding a knife, and she rode her horse back and forth to clash. After winning the pass, they joined the army and defeated the Japanese slaves Haiyi in Wangjiangjing. There are still folk songs in the local area that "Huajiawa can kill Japanese". Mrs. Wa's body is old and her heart is still strong, and she has been fighting for a long time. Hard. Thinking about it now still makes people's blood boil, and I wish I could be born at the same time, and kill the Japanese." Speaking of this, Liao Sanniang couldn't help clenching her right hand into a fist, and punched the palm of her left hand hard.

Liao Sanniang paused at this point, and continued: "Ten years ago I went to Guangli with my father, and one day I saw an old man selling furs in the street market. After chatting, I found out that the grandparents in his family turned out to be the leader of Mrs. Wa's subordinates, who had learned the Wa's double swords. I admired Mrs. Wa's loyalty and courage, and she wanted to do good, so I begged my father to give up a fortune. I worshiped under his disciples and learned the method of Wa's double swords. It is said that Xiang Yuanchi, the hero of Tiandu, got the true biography of Wa's. If he is destined to be taught, it is really a good thing, but according to the year, he should have died long ago. Even if I am alive, I am afraid that I will be extremely old, and it will be difficult." Having said this, Liao Sanniang shook her head regretfully.

Little Bazi stopped talking, but remembered his master's inheritance in his heart.

Xiao Bazi asked: "Third lady, have you seen the officials of the Song Dynasty? What do the officials of the Song Dynasty look like?"

Liao Sanniang thought for a while, and said: "As the women's representative of the bodyguard company, I have attended the Women's Congress and met Officer Du of the Women's Federation. The Women's Federation is a yamen that is in charge of women's families."

Little Bazi heard this, and said, "Oh, it turns out to be the Secretary of the Great Song Jiaofang."

Liao Sanniang giggled after hearing this, and said: "That's not true. The Secretary of Jiaofang is in charge of actors and comedians. There are various literary and art groups in Song Dynasty, but they are managed by Wenjiao. The Women's Federation is in charge of women in the world. Yes, it doesn't matter whether you are a loyal and chaste woman or a cousin of the court, she will take care of it. Chief Du is a female official, but she... well, it's strange to behave in a human way, whether it's the prime minister, deputy prime minister of the central government, or the six ministries Her ministers and servants ran away when they saw her, and even the Minister of Literature and Duke Ma also had a headache, and everyone called her the 'Queen', and she was an embarrassing person in the political affairs hall."

Little Bazi clicked his tongue and said, "Mother, such a powerful official, such a woman, is so powerful."

Liao Sanniang said: "It's not official authority either, those elders seem to be intimidated by a big worm. After the women's meeting that day, I saw Director Xiao in the general office talking with several elders. When Director Du came, Director Xiao's face The face immediately changed color, and shouted, "Here comes the heroine!", and everyone immediately dispersed. I only saw that Officer Du was frail, not like a martial artist, and I didn't know what kind of punches he could make. She just waited Fortunately, I have been interviewed a few times."

Little Bazi asked strangely: "What is the name of this office?"

Liao Sanniang said: "It's just that the soldiers in the forbidden army are only waiting for shifts. It's just the Xujun of Australia Song Dynasty, and there is no senior official, so this office has become a bureau to serve the elders."

Little Bazi wondered: "What is that?"

Liao Sanniang was impatient with repeated questions, and said casually, "It's the 24 Yamen."

Xiao Bazi suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, it turned out to be the Supervisor of Rituals. This Director Xiao must be a big pen in the palace, but the eunuch Bingbi?"

Liao Sanniang quickly corrected: "No, no, it can be regarded as the patriarchal order of the Australian Song Dynasty. Oh, yes, the personal guards of the elders are also dispatched by the general office. If you have real skills, you can be selected in the future. It can be regarded as smoke from the ancestral grave."

Little Bazi sighed, "If only I knew where my ancestral grave is!"

Old Feng said: "What's the matter with the ancestral grave? Death is like a lamp going out, what do you have to cling to for a steamed bun? You are young now, and you have worshiped under Liao Sanniang's family. The Song Dynasty is now prosperous and has a bright future."

Liao Sanniang tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: "When I first looked up at the Song Dynasty celebrations, I only thought that I could see the clothes of the Song Dynasty again, and the majesty of the royal family. Double-breasted, even those with long hair are also tied in a bun, no purple goldfish clothes, no long-legged headdresses, short shirts that can't cover the stomach, dressed like short-handed servants, but everyone tried their best Putting on a graceful, dignified and serious attitude, the common people laughed secretly when they saw it. According to the new words, it means that they feel good about themselves. The self in their own eyes is always different from the self in the eyes of others, and they are really ugly without knowing it. The Song and Yuan elders are all thin-skinned and white-fleshed, fat and girthy, at first glance, they all look like eunuchs." Speaking of this, Liao Sanniang thought of the faces of the elders, and the more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling laughed.

Little Bazi was puzzled, unable to imagine what it looked like.Because the shopkeeper Leng is no different from the local business masters in terms of appearance and temperament, and he is much more capable than them.

Old Feng took a puff of cigarette and said leisurely: "Third lady! You should cover up your conversations with children! Don't let him learn to slip his tongue, something big will happen in the future!"

Liao Sanniang hurriedly said: "You and I just joked a few words in the distance of this high place, if you go back to Guangli with me in the future, you must not lose your upper and lower, and talk nonsense like this."

Little Bazi nodded, and asked again: "Are the elders called Grand Masters?"

Liao Sanniang said: "No, the Great Song Dynasty is called the head. The head is the top, and the top is the most precious; the elder is the first, and the first is the respect, that is, the honor and the honor, it is the head."

Little Bazi kept it in mind, and said: "My son understands that when we go to Guangli in the future, we will never mess up the law of upper and lower classes."

Liao Sanniang said: "In the future, I will take you brothers to Lingao, look at the sky, look at this place, see the beautiful flowers on both sides of the Wenlan River, see the dim lights in Dongmen City, look at this colorful world, Look at this great river and mountain."

After Liao Sanniang finished speaking, she laughed loudly and galloped lightly to catch up with the group.

Little Bazi hurriedly urged the mule to follow closely.

In the waist-deep dry grass beside the road, a clump of grass leaves was pushed aside, and a pair of eyes silently watched the mule cart leave through the gap. After a while, the grass closed with a rustling sound, leaving a dead silence.
