Chapter 449: Cao's Mansion Family Banquet (5)

At this time, Pan Chengyu had finished his martial arts performance and won a round of applause, Li Yanqing's attention was suddenly focused on the riding and shooting field, and he knew that the next one was Gao Pet's appearance.

With the ringing of a bell, a white horse general galloped from the entrance, the warrior was a high favorite, I saw that he was wearing a white samurai robe, wearing a silver helmet, the red tassels on the top of the silver helmet were flying, holding a pole and a foot two feet long dragon golden gun, thin waist and broad shoulders, tall figure, like a full moon, eyes like bright stars, looking extraordinarily heroic.

Cao Pingshu smiled at the people around him: "I have always said that Gao Zhong is not only good at marksmanship, but also outstanding in talent, such as the reincarnation of Changshan Zhao Zilong, and today I feel this way." ”

Li Yanqing nodded secretly, although the Song Dynasty was ****, there were many famous generals, especially these meritorious families with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were many talents, but unfortunately there was no place for them.

I saw the tip of the high pet gun, suddenly flashed a golden light, there were countless guns around him, dazzling, Gao Pet not only practiced the family heirloom Gao's pear flower gun, five years ago, he also studied under the first marksmanship master of the forbidden army Xu Ning, the essence of his marksmanship, he changed his bright silver gun into a dragon golden gun, and finally even the master Xu Ning was not his opponent.

Gao Pet's marksmanship lies in the fast, the golden gun stabbed out like a storm, the sky is full of gun heads, it is impossible to distinguish the virtual and the real, not only that, the spear used by Gao Pet is a gun made of fine iron, and the whole gun weighs at least sixty pounds, so that he is not only changeable in marksmanship, but full of strength, and is indeed a rare fierce general in the world.

At this time, Pan Xu found a topic and asked Li Yanqing with a smile: "We all know that Li Tanhua is unparalleled in riding and shooting, but I don't know what weapons Li Tanhua is good at using in addition to riding and shooting?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head and smiled: "I'm ashamed, I really don't have much time to study martial arts, and riding and archery is also because I met the Master, in addition to riding and shooting, I have practiced marksmanship for a few days, but it's very bad, and other martial arts are gone." ”

Cao Ping nodded, "Li Tanhua is right, martial arts training and reading all rely on accumulation, and it takes a lot of time to practice to be proficient in one of them, so there are the Pan family's knives, the Gao family's guns and the Cao family's riding and archery, but as long as you are proficient in one of them, I think it is enough." ”

Gao Shen also smiled: "I heard the commander say that Li Tanhua's strength is not that he is strong in martial arts, but that he can command an army of 20,000 people on his own, not a general, but a handsome talent." ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, "The seniors have won the award, and the juniors really can't afford it!" ”

"Li Tanhua doesn't have to be polite, we will meet again when we have a chance in the future."

At this time, the high-pet marksmanship drill was over, and it immediately won a fierce applause.......

After watching the martial arts performances of several young children, Li Yanqing was a little interested, and at this time, he saw that Gao Zhong had changed his clothes and was about to leave, so he said goodbye to the three of them and left the stage first.

"Brother Gao Xian stays!"

Li Yanqing stopped Gao Chong, quickly chased after him from behind, walked closer and said with a smile: "Brother Xian's marksmanship is indeed extremely clever, which is an eye-opener for me." ”

"It's nothing compared to my brother's riding and shooting, why didn't my brother give it a try today?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "First, I am not a child of the family, so I am suspected of being confused by the end of the game, and secondly, I didn't prepare today, I just planned to come to a banquet." ”

Gao Zhong suddenly laughed, and he saluted again: "When will I have the opportunity to ask my brother for advice on riding and archery, I hope that my brother will give me advice." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "There will definitely be a chance." ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked over with a smile, "Is Shiro's martial arts performance over?" ”

Gao Chong hurriedly saluted, "Back to the mother, the child is over." ”

It turned out that this woman was Gao Chong's mother, Li Yanqing also hurriedly saluted, and Gao Chong introduced Li Yanqing to his mother, "Mother, this is Yanqing, a good friend of the child." ”

"They are all good boys!"

Gao's mother nodded to Li Yanqing with a smile, and said to her son: "Xiu'er's mother is waiting for you, she has something to ask you, come with me!" ”

Gao Zhong's father died early, he has been dependent on his mother, although he didn't want to go on a blind date, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother's words, so he had to apologize to Li Yanqing and followed his mother.

Li Yanqing was really a little bored, he was just about to turn around and enter the shooting range, when the cunning smiles of those old treachers immediately appeared in his mind, he shook his head, turned around and walked towards the atrium.

.......

Cao Xing followed the housekeeper all the way to his grandfather's study, he was quite nervous in his heart, in his memory, his grandfather had never met him alone, what happened?

"Uncle Wen, grandfather is looking for me......" He couldn't help but ask the housekeeper again.

The housekeeper smiled wryly, this kid didn't know how many times he had asked himself.

"I really don't know, the little official should not open his mouth when he sees his grandfather."

Without any information to be revealed, Cao Xing had to follow the housekeeper to his grandfather's study.

"Master, Xiao Saburo is here."

"Come in!"

Cao Xing walked into his grandfather's study, and when he entered the room, he unexpectedly found that the third uncle was also in his grandfather's study.

Cao Xuan hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Grandson greets grandfather and greets the third uncle." ”

Cao Ping nodded, and said to the third son, Cao Xuan: "Just according to what I said, the meeting with the Wang family is suspended, whatever excuse you find, just say that she is unwell, and talk about it next time!" ”

"Yes! The child understood. ”

"Let's go first!"

As the third uncle's footsteps walked away, Cao Xing's heart became even more nervous.

Cao Ping took a sip of hot tea unhurriedly, and then glanced at his grandson, "I want to know about Wenshi, you took Li Yanqing to Wenshi!" ”

Cao Xuan didn't know what was going on, his back was a little sweaty, he didn't dare to deny it, so he had to nod and admit, "Yes!" ”

"Why did you take him?"

At this time, Cao Xuan suddenly remembered the third uncle who was here just now, could it be....... He kind of thought of something.

"Why? You tell me. Cao Ping's gaze became serious.

"Because.... Li Yanqing still has no wife, so his grandson wants to ..... I just want to ......"

"You just want to introduce Yun Niang to him?" Cao Ping's eyes stared sharply at this self-determined grandson.

Cao Xing lowered his head weakly and whispered, "It turns out.... Grandfather already knew. ”

"I don't know, it was he who told me, you asked him to answer the question for Yun Niang and wrote a couplet, I guessed that you meant this, how can you call the shots about this kind of thing?"

Cao Ping's tone was very stern, and he glared at this ignorant grandson with great dissatisfaction.

"Do you know that Wang Daoqi's son is going to go on a blind date with Yun Niang today, and this matter has been negotiated for several months, how can you arrange for outsiders to intervene at will?"

Cao Xuan was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, "Grandson knows wrong, grandson knows wrong!" ”

Sun Er's attitude made Cao Ping's face soften slightly, and he asked again, "How much does Li Yanqing know?" ”

"He didn't know anything, he thought ..... Yun Niang is only in her early tens. ”

Cao Ping was stunned, "You told him that?" ”

"The grandson was afraid that he would not write couplets, so he didn't tell the truth, telling him that Yun Niang wanted to write couplets to the study when he was eight years old, and there was no harvest for two or three years, so he thought that Yun Niang was at most in her early tens, and he should just want to encourage the little lady who loves to collect books, and there is no other meaning?"

Cao Ping paced back and forth in the room for a while before he said, "Do you know what I just called your third uncle for?" ”

"My grandson doesn't know!"

"I asked him to suspend the blind date with the Wang family, and I will talk about it later."

Cao Xuan suddenly understood, "Grandfather also wants to ......"

"Nonsense! Imperial Examination Tanhualang, how could I not be tempted? Why do you think I personally went out to grab my son-in-law when the imperial examination was released last year? ”

Cao Xing was completely confused, and his grandfather scolded him, but in a blink of an eye, it wasn't like that? What the hell is this......

Cao Ping glanced at him, and when he saw that he was confused, he said hatefully: "Why don't you stinky boy understand, Li Yanqing doesn't have such an important thing as a wife's room, why don't you report it to me first?" A young official who is a Jinshi and a first, is a sixth grade, and has no wife, do you know how many people in Bianjing will rob him after the news spreads? ”

Cao Xuan was completely stunned, it turned out to be ..... It turned out to be completely different from what I thought!

"Let me ask you, are you sure that Li Yanqing does not have a wife, or that he is not married?"

"My grandson only knows that he has a concubine in his family, and he does not have a wife, but I don't know if he has a marriage."

Cao Ping nodded, generally marrying a wife first and then taking a concubine, it is rare to take a concubine first like Li Yanqing, it is estimated that the woman is either not from a good background, or she was a maid before.

Cao Ping doesn't care about this, he cares more about whether Li Yanqing is married? Tanhualang with good conditions like Li Yanqing was not snatched away last year, which was really unexpected to him.

He said to his grandson: "You ask me about this matter clearly, not necessarily about him himself, but also about his family, you have a good relationship with him, and it is better to become close friends, understand?" ”

"Grandson understood."

Cao Ping took a sword from the wall and handed it to his grandson, "You give him this seven-star sword, just say.... I will never go back on what I promised. ”

Cao Xuan didn't understand what his grandfather meant when he said this, so he took the sword in a daze and got up to leave.

"Wait a minute....."

Cao Ping took the sword back again, it was too abrupt to give the sword like this, it was inappropriate, he hung the sword back on the wall, and Cao Xuan looked at his grandfather helplessly.

Cao Ping then turned around and told his grandson: "You will follow him every step of the way today, if someone proposes to him, you are responsible for blocking him!" ”

"Grandson understood."

Cao Xing was relieved, hurriedly said goodbye and left, Cao Ping walked to the window and sighed lowly, as the head of the family, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, the Cao family has not had good luck in recent years, although there are several sons and sons-in-law as officials, but they are all in the state and county, there is no one from the Cao family among the civil officials in the imperial court, and the Cao family has fallen behind in the competition with the Gao family and the Pan family.

Cao Ping thought that he personally went out to catch his son-in-law last year, but in the end he found nothing, but Gao Shen caught a son-in-law of a jinshi.

But Cao Ping never thought that Li Yanqing, who was recognized as the three golden beetle sons-in-law last year, was not arrested, and appeared in his mansion just after being promoted to the imperial history, and wrote a couplet to his granddaughter, could it be that this is providence?

Thinking of the couplet, Cao Ping suddenly had an idea in his heart.
