When is it time for mandarin ducks to say goodbye?

Chapter 43 Why did you lose

Wei Yang said while grinding the wood: "I'm concerned, but compared to your brother's test results, is the life of our family more important?"

Thinking of the person he caught last night, Wei Xianyu also had lingering fears: "Of course life is more important, but what is this thing you made? It's so small?"

Picking up the small wooden box in his hand, Wei Young said with a smile: "This is the General's Mansion anyway, if you want to hang up traps like my room, what if you hurt someone by mistake? I made this as a warning, here, here is a The thin wire is wrapped around the doors and windows at night, as long as the doors and windows are moved, the fireworks in the box will explode."

"So powerful?" Wei Xianyu took it over curiously and looked at it: "If there are fireworks in it, why do you still ask me to make darts?"

"One more thing to prepare." Wei Young showed her the manufacturing drawing: "What if the thief knows about this thing and plans to open a crack in the door and window, cut the thread before entering? At this time, the darts inside will be useful. As soon as the thread is loose, the darts will shoot out of the doors and windows, and the sparks rubbed against the flint can also cause the fireworks to explode. No matter whether it is loose or tight, as long as it is moved, the sleeping people in the room will be able to detect it. Even in the room The people in the yard can't detect it, and the people patrolling in the yard can also detect it."

Wei Xianyu didn't quite understand it, but she thought it was great, so she quickly polished the wood for her, and sneaked a peek at the ingenuity inside.

The two of them worked in the yard all morning. At noon, Yan Zhi came back from the outside, frowned and said, "Young master lost."

"What?" Wei Xianyu was startled: "How could you lose?"

Wei Young also turned her head and blinked.

"The servant girl doesn't know the situation, that's what someone from the outside just said."

Wei Xianyu became nervous, pulled Wei Young and walked out: "Go and ask what's going on."

"Isn't it normal for him to lose?" Wei Young said: "I asked him yesterday, and he himself said that he lacks actual combat experience and has only read some military books."

"Just reading is enough." Wei Xianyu frowned: "The questions about the soldiers will not be all about actual combat. With my brother's ability, I can handle it."

Wei Young shrugged, she was not very surprised by this result because she had found the bottom line before.

However, the others were obviously very surprised. Mrs. Wei stood at the gate of the General's Mansion, frowning, and when she saw them coming out, she caught Wei Young and asked, "Did he not sleep well yesterday?"

"Go back to mother-in-law, no." Wei Yang said: "Husband slept very well."

"How can he sleep well? Having trouble with an assassin must have affected his rest, otherwise how could he lose?" Mrs. Wei shook her head.

Wei Young was stunned, looked at her and then at Wei Xianyu, suddenly lowered her head and asked Xianyu in a low voice: "In your hearts, does Wei Xianyuan have to be number one?"

"Otherwise?" Wei Xianyu raised his eyebrows: "Brother has this ability, everyone knows it, so the expectations of him are naturally high."

Then Wei Xianyuan is too pitiful, no wonder he didn't like running for elections before, under the pressure of only winning but not losing, his mentality is not balanced, how can he choose?Shaking her head, Wei Young let go of Xian Yu's hand and sneaked back to the yard.

When Wei Xianyuan returned to the General's Mansion, he blocked his ears as soon as he got out of the car.Shen Ting had already prepared for today's match, he knew that he was going to lose, so he was not very angry.But when he thought of facing all the questions, he felt a headache.

"Xianyuan? Are you tired? Tell mother, what happened today? Did something happen?"

"Brother, which question did you lose? Think about it and say it, let's think about it together."

"Brother, are you okay? Don't be too sad, there is another game tomorrow."

Buzzing, it's so annoying!Wei Xianyuan glared at them angrily, and jumped onto the roof with one step.

"Wei Xianyuan!" Wei Qingfeng yelled, "How many times have I told you not to step on the roof!"

Where he could still hear him talking, Wei Xianyuan covered his ears and fled back to the east courtyard. As soon as he landed in the courtyard, he bumped into a little guy.

"How did you fall from the sky?" Confusedly looking up at the sky, Wei Young pulled him with a smile again: "Come on, come back just in time, Rouge brought back candied haws, I'll give you a bunch."

"Who wants to eat that!" Closing the door angrily, Wei Xianyuan sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, glaring at her from the corner of his eye while drinking.

This girl is the most curious, and she will definitely ask him why he lost. She is so annoying, and when she opens her mouth, he will definitely pinch her mouth!

Du Weiyang came out with candied haws and dangled in front of his eyes: "After passing this village, there is no such shop. I have eaten a bunch of candied haws with thick sugar coating, and they are delicious."

"This is something that children only eat." Wei Xianyuan took it with disgust, took a bite, his mouth was full of sugar scum and sour hawthorn, the effect of extinguishing the fire was good.

Leaning at her sideways, Wei Xianyuan said while eating, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"Yes." Wei Young nodded.

Putting his hands on the table to prepare, Wei Xianyuan smiled and said: "Then ask."

"Do you usually go in and out of the yard or through the window?"

Almost choking on the sugar residue, Wei Xianyuan frowned: "What's the problem? Can I leave the door open and not go through the window?"

The corner of her mouth twitched, Wei Young glanced at the trampled bricks on the courtyard wall, and then at the courtyard door that was honestly open.

With a light cough, Wei Xianyuan said: "Generally speaking, I will go through the door honestly. In special cases, I will go through the window."

"That's it." Wei Young got up to install the mechanism: "Then remember not to go through the window in the future."

Looking at the thread she was holding in her hand, and at the small box on the beam, Wei Xianyuan raised his eyebrows: "What the hell is this?"

"Alarm device." Du Weiyang said: "Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and I was afraid of well ropes, I have already applied to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I got permission. From now on, I will install this on the doors and windows of the whole house, and I will sleep again at night." Don’t be afraid of thieves entering the house! One tael of silver a piece, no fools!”

Wei Xianyuan narrowed his eyes: "Are you still collecting money from my family?"

"It's all at the cost price." Wei Young curled her lips, and said helplessly: "Your mother doesn't seem to like her daughter's fiddle with these things, I can't say that I did it myself? I can only say that it is a new product from the Ministry of Punishment. Things, one tael each. She gave me an order and asked me to buy hundreds of them back."

"Hundreds of them?" Wei Xianyuan said, "Then how long do you have to do it?"

"I thought about it." Wei Young touched his chin and said, "When your martial arts test is over, I can almost deliver half of the goods. After all, this thing is easy to make, and with Rouge's help, it's still pretty fast. Just to prevent being caught It's a little troublesome for your mother to find out, but with Xianyu's help to cover it, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Everyone turned their elbows outward." Wei Xianyuan shook his head and sighed.

"Who are you talking about?"

"No one." Wei Xianyuan wiped his hands after eating the candied haws: "But you just want to ask me this?"

"Otherwise what else?"

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Wei Xianyuan said: "Although it is a fake Phoenix, we are all in the same boat after all, can you treat me a little bit? I just lost the competition and came back!"

"Oh." Wei Young nodded, and patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him after putting the device away: "Don't be discouraged, keep working hard tomorrow!"

"It's over?" Young Master Wei was very dissatisfied.

Wei Young is very innocent: "This is not enough, so what else do you want?"

Wei Xianyuan was a little mad: "Can't you ask me why I lost?"

"What else could be the reason?" Wei Young chuckled lightly: "It's just that he couldn't compare with others, so he lost."

"Who said that!" Wei Xianyuan immediately retorted angrily, "It's clear that the examiner leaked the questions ahead of time, and Shen Ting was already prepared!"

What?Wei Young blinked: "How do you know?"

"Anyway, I just know."

Curling her lips, Wei Young obviously didn't believe it, and responded to him as if she was dealing with it: "Okay, okay, I won't win with martial arts, you are the best, okay?"

He wasn't offended by the villain's tricks, but rather offended by his daughter-in-law's attitude. Wei Xianyuan tried his best to comfort himself in his heart. Maybe she was acting aggressively?He can't say everything on the spur of the moment.

But looking at Du Weiyang's expression again, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed at all, Wei Xianyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose? Today's examiner is Shen Ting's mentor, the general of the town Sun Li! His character He's not good at all, he has a lot of criminal records, so I made people pay attention to his movements last night."

Wei Young was stunned: "Do you still dare to monitor the examiner?"

"A person like him is worthy of being an examiner?" Wei Xianyuan snorted, "Gu Qinhuai gave him a stack of banknotes, and the test papers were handed out in advance, and the poor other candidate was eliminated without knowing anything. "

"Wait." This made Du Weiyang a little confused: "Who do you think will give the banknote?"

Taking a look at her, Wei Xianyuan shrugged: "You won't believe me if I tell you, it's better not to say it."

"Come back!" Grabbing the man's sleeve, Wei Young frowned: "You speak clearly, what's going on."

"Okay, then I'll say it again." Wei Xianyuan said, "Gu Qinhuai has been preparing for the selection of civil and military champions since three months ago. Senior scholar Gu no longer asks about government affairs, and the relationship between the DPRK and China is weak, so he has his eye on the princess. , taking advantage of the princess's need to get married, he rushed to marry her, and then opened up the relationship between the upper and lower levels, and stuffed himself and Shen Ting into this year's number one candidate. Money doesn't care about relationships, so Gu Qinhuai bribed Shen Ting with a silver ticket in order to become the No. [-] champion in martial arts, and got the exam papers in advance. Do you understand?"

Du Weiyang was dumbfounded, blinked her almond eyes for a while, covered her head and frowned: "I understand the truth, but why did Brother Gu help Shen Ting cheat?"

"Because Shen Ting is his." Wei Xianyuan looked at her with a foolish expression on his face: "Once Shen Ting takes over, he will definitely hug him to keep warm. If Shen Ting is good, he will be good too."

"Wait a minute..." Wei Yang couldn't turn her head around: "Brother Gu...Brother Gu wants to have a good reputation, but when you say it like this, why does it seem like he is doing whatever he can to get the upper hand?"
