Chapter 176
: Both civil and military
Round head - In fact, this person's face is not round, but the fat on his face is all flesh, and a large piece of it will naturally become round.
His round body and overly bloated figure made his height, which was not short, completely ignored. If this person had not come to him, he would have thought he was a short man from afar.
"Li Xiaoyao?"
After asking again uncertainly, Ye Wen felt sweating on his forehead: "I'll go, I thought my own behavior was enough to spoof, but I didn't expect that this world was much more cruel than me! This guy has to go at least 300 kilograms, right? Is it still free to get up like this?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and slapped Ye Wen's shoulder with a fat hand like a palm fan: "It's all my brothers, just call me Xiaoyao! Otherwise, you can call me big mouth like this neighborhood!"
After saying that, he ignored Ye Wen's eyes that were about to fall out, and explained to himself: "Originally, my mother gave me such a name in hopes that I could be happy in this life. But I didn't expect that the family would fall into trouble shortly after I was born, and even my father died of depression. With such little assets left, I relied on my cousin's help to open such a restaurant!"
"I was a child and I had delicious food since I was a child, so I like to go to the kitchen to find food from time to time. My mother changed my nickname to Big Mouth in anger!" Haha laughed for a while: "But no one cares about me now. The dishes in our house are all done by ourselves, and no one can eat them early!"
Restaurant chefs have this habit. When they come out with the same dish, the chef who holds the spoon must first take a bite. One is to see how the dishes are cooked, and the other is to satisfy their cravings - it is said that no chef is not greedy.
But Ye Wen said in his heart: "I guess the title of this guy is because of this mouth that never ends!"
Ye Wen took out a handkerchief from somewhere, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and laughed dryly: "Hello, hello, lucky, lucky!"
"You are kind! Since you are here, you are a friend. Are we still a habit of eating here? Do you need to have a few more dishes? I tell you that my skills are also famous in the capital. How many princes and nobles came to our house, just to eat me to cook that dish!"
He walked towards Ye Wen's table, chatting endlessly. The person who is in love is still familiar. He only remembered after sitting down: "Oh, look at my head, haven't you asked my brother for your surname?"
"In the lower Yewen!"
"Ye Wen...he was a scholar at first glance. Could it be that he was here to participate in the palace examination?"
This time it was not Ye Wen's answer, but Lin Pingzhi, the cousin of the chef, spoke: "Cousin, what's your head? The palace examination is today. If Brother Ye is here to participate in the palace examination, will he come to your restaurant for dinner?" After saying that, he said: "You haven't seen the top scholar riding a horse and parading on the street just now?"
Li Xiaoyao wiped his sweat: "Where did I go to see? I was busy in the kitchen just now, and I wonder where these bastards had gone? I didn't even have a helper, and I went to see the top scholar! I didn't know how to call me!" After that, he poured himself a sip of wine: "Deduct their money and let them run away!"
Ye Wen was so impressed by this person's consciousness that he was so impressed. Lin Pingzhi, a young man, was used to it. When he saw him being angry, he made fun of him: "It seems that it is not up to the big mouth to deduct money, right?"
Li Xiaoyao was so embarrassed that he couldn't hold on to his face. If it were still these people, he wouldn't care, but there was Ye Wen, the new friend, sitting next to him. He felt a little embarrassed and forced himself to say, "Why can't you make a decision? In a few years, I will be the shopkeeper of this restaurant. Do you think I'll do it?"
Someone said, "I heard that Aunt Li wanted to invite a shopkeeper, but she still let you be a chef!"
"Who said it? Which guy said it? Why should outsiders be the shopkeeper of my Li family restaurant? I want me to run into it, and I won't give him a harsh mouth..."
A few young masters and Li Xiaoyao said one left and one right, and only Lin Pingzhi came over to Ye Wen and said, "I don't know if Brother Ye is the new top scholar..."
He saw the top scholar talking to this person and called him senior brother. He was extremely surprised. Even Brother Fang was surprised and said, "Can this young man be a civil and military genius?"
However, these people thought that Ye Wen and Xu Xian were brothers who had studied in the same academy, and they didn't think about it anyway. After all, Xu Xian also coughed from time to time when riding on the horse. Although it was not very obvious, the trainer still realized that he had hidden illness and was so sick that he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all.
Ye Wen also guessed what the two of them thought, and said, "That top scholar is also from this sect. Because he started later than me, he is the junior brother!"
"Then the top scholar can also be good at martial arts?" Lin Pingzhi widened his eyes. The person who is both civil and military in this way is the one in front of him. It turns out that the real talent of civil and military in his mind is the top scholar who has just ridden a horse.
According to his elder brother Fang, the man in front of him has very strong martial arts skills, so even if his junior brother is weaker, he should be limited. His literary talent is enough to pass the top scorer, and his handsome appearance is definitely one of the few heroes in the world.
Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Ye's junior brother, I'm afraid he's been busy these days!"
"Why?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "All the top scholars are talented and beautiful. In addition, they won the top scholar, entering the court is inevitable. I don't know how many people are staring at this position, hoping to get in touch with some relationships! And those who are waiting to be named in the boudoir want to recruit a good son-in-law at this time, and the top scholar is naturally the first choice for everyone!"
Ye Wen was not very good, but Huang Rongrong next to her changed her face. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.
Lin Pingzhi said: "I remembered this, it seems that my father also sent someone to the street today to see if the top scholar is in line. If it is good..."
"How about that?"
Lin Pingzhi scratched his head: "I guess I want to help my sister's marriage resolve it!"
"Oh? Do you have a sister?"
Lin Pingzhi was not so good, but Li Xiaoyao, who had been talking beside him, suddenly shivered and turned to Ye Wen and said, "Brother Ye, brother, please advise me, don't ask me more about my cousin!"
Ye Wen became more interested in this statement and wondered: "What?"
Seeing that Ye Wen had to ask, Li Xiaoyao said, "That's a famous person in the capital... uh... that..." After thinking about it, he looked at everyone around him. They all looked at him with a wicked smile, as if they wanted to know how he evaluated his cousin.
Even Lin Pingzhi is just the same. It is probably because Li Xiaoyao's word is useless. He can sue him and ask him to suffer a lot.
After looking around, Li Xiaoyao made a cruel decision and said directly: "Anyway, it's very fierce. Ordinary men can't stand it! Now I see that my cousin is taking a detour and will never meet her!"
"Who told you to always talk bad about her!" Lin Pingzhi knew the most, so he smiled and interrupted: "Or cousin, you have always missed my sister, so you always talk bad about her behind her back, telling her not to get married?"
Li Xiaoyao looked bitter and said, "Why did I say bad things about her and tell her not to marry? Just because of her temper, she would just pick up a whip and whip it. Who dares to marry me?" When she said this, she was shocked all over, and then looked around and looked around. She couldn't see the person she thought of just now, and said to Ye Wen: "Anyway, Brother Ye should stay away from my cousin, so as not to hurt you!"
Ye Wen just touched his nose and found it interesting, while the Shushan people just found it funny, and thought that with the skills of his leader, it is not certain who hurts whom! But you can't say this directly. If others say it, they will say that the Shushan Sect is showing off their strength here!
The group of people started chatting, so they just started eating and drinking together. Chef Li Xiaoyao went downstairs to cook a few dishes, and then brought them back in person - because most of the dishes on the table were lost in his time just now.
Ye Wen was eating here, and Xu Xian was eating there too.
But his meal was really not pleasant. Although the imperial banquet in the imperial city was exquisite, the wine was fragrant, and all the young and beautiful palace maids walking around were like young and beautiful palace maids, making people think they had reached a fairyland. But it was definitely a chore to eat.
First of all, this seat is painful. It is not that the seat is uncomfortable, but that the person sitting on it cannot sit like a thorny person at home. Even the brother who is farthest from the emperor just put his butt on the chair, let alone Xu Xian, who is just under the emperor's nose.
"It's really a pain!" Then he looked at the group of Jinshis around him with resentment and cursed secretly: "I don't even win the top scorer if you don't get the exam, can't you be more successful?"
After struggling for a day, my stomach was already empty. However, although the dishes in front of me were full of fragrance, I didn't dare to move my chopsticks easily. Only when the emperor raised his glass did the new Jinshi in the palace dare to raise his glass and pour some water into his stomach. As for the dish, no one dared to touch it.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xu Xian felt that his stomach became more and more uncomfortable. He was so anxious that he choked, and he started to cough for a long time.
This time, the eyes of the palace attracted the eyes of the palace. Even the emperor Wei Hong asked, "The Xu Qing family is not very strong! But is it too urgent to go on the exam?"
He saw that Xu Xian was slender and not as thin as some scholars who studied hard. Ben Dao was a good person. He didn't expect that he had been coughing for a day, but he didn't get better. But he didn't think deeply, just said that these days had changed and the weather was cold on the way he came.
Xu Xian replied: "I have taken care of this coughing disease for years, not a new disease!"
"Oh?" Wei Hong heard this and then realized that Xu Xian's illness was not something that happened overnight. In addition, he liked Xu Xian's answer sheet quite a lot. He thought it was his future minister, so he cared about it: "Have you ever been to seek medical treatment?"
"After diagnosis and treatment, I just need to be recuperated slowly, and I can recover in about three to five years!"
As soon as he said this, everyone realized that Xu Xian's disease was so severe that it took three to five years to recover, and it had been a long time since he was recuperating.
"What disease is it?" I was puzzled in my heart, and someone thought to myself, "Why didn't you die of illness?"
Wei Hong heard that it took three to five years to know that the disease was probably not easy to treat. However, as the emperor, he not only ate the best, but also the best women, but also the best doctor. He said, "What disease does it take for three to five years to recuperate? Why don't I pass on the imperial physician to treat your family? Maybe there may be a better prescription!"
After saying that, he didn't have to ask Xu Xian for his opinion, and said to the little eunuch who was serving beside him: "Go and call Dr. Chen!"
The eunuch responded, and then ran away without a trace. The eunuch dared not do anything about what the emperor told him. It is estimated that the eunuch ran even faster after leaving the hall, because in just a moment the eunuch returned to the hall, followed by an old man about sixty years old and gray-haired and bearded.
When Wei Hong saw the imperial physician coming, he didn't want him to greet him. He pointed at Xu Xian and said, "This is Xu Xian, the new top scholar, who is infected with cough. Chen Aiqing shows him, but what are the treatments?"
Doctor Chen responded, and then came to Xu Xian. He first looked at his face. Doctor Chen, who had not cared about it, immediately said 'Huh?' when he saw Xu Xian's face.
Then he immediately grabbed Xu Xian's wrist and started a vein. At the same time, his face was solemn, and he kept looking at Xu Xian's facial features and neck. After a while of vein, Dr. Chen said "Huh?" again.
His two sounds not only made everyone in the hall confused, but even Emperor Wei Hong was a little confused. He remembered that the Tai Doctor Chen was superb in medical skills and was not surprised by his actions and was always calm. It was rare to make him show a shock and suspicion. It was only a moment when he saw Xu Xian today, and he actually made shock and suspicion.
"Doctor Chen, what's wrong with Xu Qing's family?"
At this time, Doctor Chen had already put down Xu Xian's wrist, then looked up and down a few more times. When the emperor asked, he immediately replied: "Report to the emperor, Zhuang Yuanlang's disease is a strange disease, and it cannot be cured by medicine and stone!"
"What?"
However, Doctor Chen did not see Wei Hong's face changing drastically, and just continued: "The disease of the priest of the priest of the priest of the lungs is a strong cold air that invaded the lungs and then injured his lung meridians, which caused the priest of the priest of the priest of the priest of the cough. The strong cold air that I have never seen in my life is helpless!"
Speaking of this, Wei Hong's face was even worse. He only said that the wise minister who had finally found would be gone soon. Naturally, he couldn't feel happy in his heart. He only said that God would not help him.
But Doctor Chen lowered his head, but he couldn't see the emperor's face becoming less and less beautiful, and he kept talking: "But the top scholar Lang Jiren has his own appearance. He didn't know where he learned the superb qi practice method, which just happened to be able to control the cold air. In addition, the top scholar Lang has achieved success in practicing qigong. I think it won't take long to get the cold air to eliminate it!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Hong felt that his mind had risen from the bottom of the valley and asked, "So, there will be nothing wrong with the Xu Qing family? Do you think the cold air will suddenly recur?" As an emperor, Wei Hong can also learn some methods of practicing Qi, but he is busy with government affairs and is difficult to improve, so his cultivation is limited. In addition, he has no knowledge of martial arts in the imperial city all day long. At most, he understands that it is not a good thing for external qi to enter the body.
Chen Taiyi said: "With the strong internal energy of the top scholar Lang, only he can dissolve the cold air, and that cold air is absolutely difficult to counterattack!"
Speaking of this, he turned to Xu Xian and said, "I don't want the new top scorer to be a versatile talent with both civil and military skills. I congratulate the emperor on getting such a talent!"
It was not until this time that Wei Hong realized that Xu Xian knew how to practice Qi, which was to understand profound internal skills! He didn't want to find a top scholar, but also found a hero with both civil and military skills. The congratulations from the Emperor Chen, who had already returned to his original state, was once again raised.
"I didn't expect that the Xu Qing family still knew martial arts. They really were a hero and a boy!"
Seeing that Xu Xian was about the same age as him, Wei Hong didn't care too much about his kung fu. He only said that he was similar to himself, or even worse than that. After he learned martial arts, those who taught him naturally welcomed him in every way. He only said that he was a martial arts genius. But he didn't know how much higher the kung fu was than him.
"It's just that I learned a little trick, which made the emperor laugh!"
Xu Xian was kind to the side, but the other Jinshis beside him became more and more planning, and he said to himself: "I don't know where I learned some three-legged cat's hand gesture, but he actually claimed to be both civil and military. I'm gonna be!"
This group of people was jealous. A few people were well-educated and did not show off their own ideas, but many people could not hide their thoughts. How sharp is Xu Xian's eyes? He could see the thoughts of these people at a glance. But he secretly made him look unhappy in the officialdom, so he naturally didn't care. He also answered calmly when the emperor spoke to him.
As a result, Wei Hong saw that Xu Xian was calm and showed an extraordinary demeanor, and he was even more happy with him. He only said that his ancestors had given him a support, so he would always call Xu Xian when he spoke. Although he did not neglect others, those who disliked Xu Xian became more and more resentful.
After talking for a while, Wei Hong suddenly remembered that when he was learning kung fu, he also heard the guards talk about things in the world today. It seemed that there were many sects. He asked curiously: "I don't know which sect and sect the Qi training *** that Xu Qing's family learned from?"
Xu Xian said: "It is a sect in my hometown, called the Shushan Sect! Because it is located in a remote location, it is not famous!"
Wei Hong only thought that he was a small family, but he was worried that it was Xu Xian's sect, and Xu Xian was the young man he valued the most, so he said, "I think that those who can teach those advanced methods of qi cultivation are also great sects in the martial arts world!" This was his own guess. After all, Doctor Chen said that the cold air in Xu Xian's body could not be cured by medicine stones, which proved that the cold air was very powerful. The *** that Xu Xian learned could cure him must be a very precious and profound internal skill.
I thought to myself that it was because Xu Xian had contracted such a strange disease that he would join the Shushan School to learn internal skills to save himself, but I didn’t know that Xu Xian was infected with this disease after entering the Shushan School.
"I wonder who respected the teacher?"
Just as he was wondering if he had heard of some master, Xu Xian said, "The head of my sect is Weichen's senior brother. Weichen was the sect that the senior brother had recruited disciples at the time, so this kind of skill was taught by the senior brother!"
"oh?"
