Chapter 761: Jumping into her basket
In just five days, Xinbao had finished learning the Jinghong Fist, and then urged Shen Zhuocheng to teach him the Jinghong Sword.
Shen Zhuocheng really didn't expect that she could learn so quickly, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he agreed to find a pair of suitable wooden swords tomorrow and start teaching her the Jinghong sword technique.
After leaving the palace, his expression gradually became gloomy, and he tried hard not to sigh.
Back then, his mother, known as the Fairy Jinghong, was a famous beauty in the world and had many admirers.
In the end she married his father.
When she got married, Shen's father did not have as much wealth as he does now, and he only had a very inconspicuous small shop.
But the two fell in love with each other and soon got married.
After the marriage, Shen's father was afraid of letting his wife down, so he worked hard in business to save money and expand his wealth bit by bit... The couple lived in harmony and never had a quarrel.
Shen's mother was injured during childbirth due to a difficult labor, and Shen's father never thought of taking a concubine or forcing his wife, so Shen Zhuocheng is an only son.
Although Shen Zhuocheng had poor health when he was a child, the Shen family was harmonious and he was raised with a simple personality.
He also went to school, but was not very smart, so his mother taught him martial arts, and he made rapid progress. Later, his father helped him find some body-building methods, and later he joined the Thousand Hands Sect, and learned the strengths of several martial arts.
He always wanted to try his luck in the martial arts world, but his mother was not very happy about it. Finally, he couldn't help it and ran away while his master was with him.
It was actually fine at first, but later, someone tried to trip him up. Fortunately, he was good at kung fu and no one was hurt.
But as time went on, he discovered that many people in the world seemed to be vaguely repulsive or even hostile to him.
Later he gradually understood.
Some people may have coveted their mothers, while others may have been jealous of their mothers.
But there weren't actually many people like this. The main reason was that at that time, there were more than one sect's favorite disciples pursuing my mother. It would have been fine if my mother had chosen one of them, but she chose a businessman, and they felt very ashamed. Although they wouldn't deliberately seek revenge, they would not give them a good face if they met them.
My mother said that people in the underworld are like this and they hate this kind of thing the most. If she had married a man from an official family, they would have looked down on her even more, but their attitude would not necessarily be worse than it is now... Because they have a hidden fear in their hearts, they would speak up for her instead.
Is there anyone who doesn’t care about this? Of course there is!
But the more mediocre the sects are, the more they care about this, but when you wander around in the martial arts world, these are the people you encounter the most.
And that’s not all.
Later, he met a woman from the Jianghu, and they got along very well. They had originally agreed to go home to meet their parents, but who knew that things suddenly changed halfway through. She accepted someone else's betrothal gift and became the concubine of the governor's son.
This official son had once raced a horse in the street while drunk. In order to save someone, he shot the horse to death, fell off and was injured... He has been hating him ever since.
But when he went to ask, the girl's family didn't feel guilty at all, and her mother even said, "People always want to move up, didn't your mother do that for money?" He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Later, two years later, the matchmaker introduced him to a girl from a merchant family, but the same thing happened... the engagement letters between the two families were exchanged, and the official's son intervened again, and the girl became his concubine.
Shen Zhuocheng was extremely angry.
But he didn't want to do it. If he really did, he could run away, but he couldn't run away with the family property, and his father's years of hard work would be gone.
But he really couldn't accept it.
So now, the people in the martial arts world don't regard them as their own people, and the people in the government also think they are soft persimmons. Merchants should die, right? ? He declined his master's suggestion that he inherit the Qianshou Sect. He wanted to take the martial arts examination and become an official.
But with the governor around, he couldn't even pass the registration stage. He changed places to register, but the same thing happened.
Until Shen Shouyan emerged as a rising star.
Shen Zhuocheng wrote to Zhong Limin for help.
Zhong Limin also replied to him, saying that there were too many people asking for help and there were many things they couldn't do, but he gave him a letter written by Shen Shouyan and asked him to make good use of it.
The letter only said that a special examination for the martial arts exam had been opened, and Brother Zhuocheng could come and try it... and so on. There was no promise, just a familiar tone.
Then he set up a trap, leaked the matter, and let the servants bribed by the government see the letter with their own eyes.
The governor wanted to show goodwill, and Shen's father accepted it. The official's son gave him a few beauties, and he also accepted them.
Then, the two families "put aside their past grudges" and he was able to sign up, take the military examination, and then progress all the way to become a military jinshi.
In the military examination, military scholars become sixth-rank officers as soon as they enter the military camp.
But in a place like the Beijing military camp, there is no war, so no matter how good a new recruit's martial arts skills are, it is difficult for him to be promoted.
Unless someone like Shen Shouyan and Guo Dong caught the attention of the superiors and became a teacher, although the rank was not high, the status was superior...but he shamelessly asked Zhong Limin for recommendation, and the opportunity was presented to him, but he did not seize it.
Shen Zhuocheng was very upset and felt that he was useless. He couldn't take the ready-made shortcut.
He didn't know that his information had already arrived on Emperor Mingpei's desk two days ago.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After Yuan Shenjue and Hao Huashi interacted with him, they felt that he was too nervous, too fearful, and a little strange, so Hao Huashi asked the people from Daotinglou to check it out.
As soon as the information was delivered, even Emperor Mingpei was happy.
So it can be said that Xinbao is a lucky person, and talented people always jump into her basket on their own initiative.
Just like Shen Zhuocheng, it was the underworld people who wronged them first. He has no good feelings towards them at all. Even if they turned against him, they would have no right to blame him. He also has a hatred for the people in the government because of his wife being taken away from him, so he has a stronger desire and ambition to climb up.
It's really tailor-made for me.
Emperor Mingpei said: "Xinbao, let him make the elixir, and make it as powerful as possible."
Xinbao nodded crisply and responded: "Oh!"
She doesn't even cry when refining pills now. She refines them herself in the space, so the quality is better and the speed is faster.
After the practice, I asked Hao Huashi to send it over directly.
The Shen family has moved to the capital, but there are many rich people in the capital, so the house they bought is not in a very good location. But the couple is already very content. Seeing Shen Zhuocheng coming back, Shen's mother also advised him: "Don't force it, it's already very good now."
Yes, he knew that this was already very good, but he still couldn't help wanting more, wanting to climb up faster and higher.
Now that he was in charge of teaching Xinbao, he didn't have to go to the military camp. After lunch, he wanted to go out for a walk with his parents and run a shop.
As a result, just as I was about to go out, I saw Hao Huashi coming towards me.
Shen Zhuocheng hurriedly bowed: "Hua Shi? Are you... coming to see me?"
"Yes," Hao Huashi smiled and bowed to Shen's parents before throwing a bottle to him: "Take it on an empty stomach every morning, breathe in and out for a quarter of an hour, and then get up to practice martial arts."
Shen Zhuocheng was surprised: "This is..."
Hao Huashi smiled and said, "My master gave it to me. It's a good thing. Just eat it and you'll know after you eat it."
He was mischievous and acted mysterious on purpose. I patted him on the shoulder and left, leaving the Shen family members surprised and happy.
Although Shen Zhuocheng had not spent a long time with them, he had a high level of trust in them and took the pill without hesitation the next morning.
Xinbao had previously used decoctions to improve the shadow guards' strength, and it had been very effective. Now that he had switched to elixirs, it went without saying that Shen Zhuocheng's surprise almost turned into shock, and he was still in a daze when he entered the palace.
