Chapter 226 Good seedling!
After Su Zhizhi returned to Heishan Prefecture in the morning, she was still thinking about taking the entrance exam for the martial arts academy.
In the afternoon, Hao Ren came back from work and heard that his daughter had failed the exam in the morning, so he and Wu Yingniang took the child to take the exam again in the afternoon.
If I'm lucky, maybe I can catch it today.
Su Zhizhi has always had good luck. When she arrived, she found the door was open and there was no one queuing at the door.
After she finished speaking, the servants at the door began to drive people away: "There are nobles busy inside, please go somewhere else and take the children to watch the fun."
But Su Zhizhi's next sentence was: "I am here to take the exam too."
The servant laughed: "You little girl? I'm kidding."
The flower bud on Su Zhizhi's head nodded: "Why not? The enrollment notice doesn't say that female students are not accepted."
Hao Ren said, "My daughter is indeed here to take the entrance exam for the Martial Arts Academy."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jijiu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He knew it wasn't written on the notice, but that was because he had never thought that there would be female students applying to the martial arts school.
At this time, Murong Xun spoke:
"Zhou Jijiu, since this child wants to try, why not let her try? It's her wish."
Murong Xun had seen Hao Ren at the palace banquet and recognized him.
But the first person he saw was Su Zhizhi beside Hao Ren.
The little figure was outlined in golden red by the sunset glow behind him, looking lively and energetic.
Murong Xun glanced at her and met her clear eyes.
Very familiar, like a pair of eyes I had seen many years ago.
Then, he felt a pain in his heart, and he didn't even know why.
Hao Ren stepped forward, his knuckles turning white as he saluted:
"My name is Hao Ren, and I'm here to meet Prince Gong."
Murong Xun came back to his senses and looked at Hao Ren:
"This prince remembers you. At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, my brother named you the Imperial Merchant."
Su Zhizhi and Wu Yingniang also came to pay their respects to Murong Xun.
Murong Xun looked at Su Zhizhi again.
He is a very beautiful child, full of energy.
Murong Xun's gaze shifted to the faces of Hao Ren and his wife.
Hao Ren's face can only be described as ordinary, and although the woman next to him has a heroic look, her facial features are not outstanding.
Murong Xun didn't understand how the couple could give birth to such a beautiful child.
But this is indeed their child.
Murong Xun recalled the scene when he saw Hao Ren and his family of three leaving the palace gate on New Year's Eve. It was obvious that the family had a good relationship.
Su Zhizhi looked up at Murong Xun with curiosity in her eyes.
Murong Xun seemed to want to say something to Su Zhizhi, but Hao Ren had already spoken:
"Zhou Jijiu, farewell to the northwest, I hope you are well."
At this time, Zhou Jijiu recognized Hao Ren and Su Zhizhi.
When he was still the Zhou Duwei two years ago, he and Qin Yuan from the Ministry of War once escorted cotton clothes from Lingnan to the northwest.
Two years ago, Hao Ren, who had changed his appearance, took several villagers from Liangmin Village with him to the northwest.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Zhou Jijiu felt that Hao Ren and his daughter looked familiar when he first saw them, but he did not recognize them.
Only then did Zhou Jijiu recognize that they were from Liangmin Village.
Zhou Jijiu clasped his fists and said, "It's Village Chief Hao. It's been a long time."
"Zhizhi has grown taller." Zhou Jijiu looked down at Su Zhizhi. He remembered that the little girl was very energetic and rode the horse like the wind.
Su Zhizhi remembered Captain Zhou and called out, "Uncle Zhou!"
Hao Ren reminded: "Zhizhi, here you have to call Zhou Jijiu."
Since they were acquaintances and Prince Gong had spoken, there was no reason for Zhou Jijiu to refuse.
Zhou Jijiu nodded and asked Coach Lin to lead Su Zhizhi to the ring.
Seeing that Su Zhizhi was a little girl, Coach Lin reminded her:
"This stone is heavy. It doesn't matter if you can't lift it. Just don't hurt your arms—you—"
Before Master Lin finished his last word, his jaw dropped!
Not only Coach Lin, but everyone present, except Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang, was dumbfounded.
Su Zhizhi bent down, hugged the stone, and stood up without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements.
She picked up the stone pillar in one go.
And it wasn't the smallest stone block, but a medium-sized one used to measure the strength of children aged fourteen or fifteen.
Zhou Jijiu, Instructor Lin and Dr. Xiong were all shocked.
Su Zhizhi held the stone pillar and said, "This one is a bit heavy, but we have moved heavier stones in our village before."
Zhou Jijiu: ...A girl from Lingnan is so strong?!
Su Zhizhi put the stone down and went to do horse stance. "I haven't had dinner yet, but I should still have enough strength to do it for half an hour."
Murong Ming saw Su Zhizhi lift a larger stone pillar so easily and didn't believe it at all:
"There must be something fishy about that stone."
Murong Ming also tried to pick up the stone, using all his strength, but not only did he fail to lift it, he also fell on his butt.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, he blushed with embarrassment at this moment. He shouted to Su Zhizhi:
"You're just strong, go up on stage and fight him!"
Su Zhizhi also wanted to join the fight, so she looked at Coach Lin:
"Can I go now?"
Zhou Jijiu saw that Su Zhizhi was holding a steady horse stance and knew that this child had a solid foundation.
"Go and spar with Qi Fang."
Qi Fang, holding a wooden sword, obviously didn't expect that he would have to fight with a girl who was five years younger than him.
Although he was surprised when the little girl lifted the stone pillar just now, he still felt a little embarrassed to fight with a little sister.
He even wanted to put down the wooden sword in his hand.
On the other side, Su Zhizhi pulled out her golden whip and slammed it to the ground:
"Do you want to switch to a sword? I'm using a snakeskin whip, and you're using a wooden sword. You're at a disadvantage."
Su Zhizhi said this because she had sparred with Xue Che before, and she had cracked Xue Che's wooden sword with a whip.
Later, Grandpa Wei made a bigger wooden sword for Xue Che.
Qi Fang shook his head: "I'll just use the wooden sword and let you make the first move."
"Okay." Su Zhizhi was not polite anymore.
Speaking of sparring, Su Zhizhi had never seriously sparred with others.
The villagers wouldn't actually fight her, so she had no idea how her kung fu skills would be perceived by outsiders.
This is in the capital, and there should be many powerful people. Su Zhizhi feels that she must give her all.
She stepped forward and cracked the whip.
Whoosh—the whip struck Qi Fang's door like lightning!
The speed is unexpectedly fast.
Qi Fang quickly took a step back and used his wooden sword to block the whip.
But as soon as the wooden sword touched the whip, it was immediately entangled by the snake-like whip.
Qi Fang frowned, turned around immediately, and pulled the wooden sword out of its restraints.
But just as he pulled out the sword, the whip shining with golden light attacked his chest again.
Qi Fang had to lean back to dodge.
The man dodged it, but the wooden sword in his hand was hit hard by the whip again.
Pop.
The wooden sword broke in two.
The evening breeze blew by, and everyone was stunned.
Su Zhizhi was holding the whip, feeling a little embarrassed: "How about you change to an iron sword?"
"There's no need to compete anymore." Zhou Jijiu's voice was a little out of tune with excitement.
Qi Fang showed a guilty look: "Jijiu, I made a mistake."
Instructor Lin's eyes were filled with emotion. "No, you didn't make any mistakes. You were able to block a few attacks with your wooden sword, which is quite impressive."
Qi Fang was still a teenage student with limited knowledge of martial arts. He thought he failed because he did not perform well.
But Master Lin and others saw clearly that the little girl did not use the whip randomly, but in a very methodical way. Each move was imposing, and the power and accuracy of the whip were excellent.
Su Zhizhi held the whip and walked up to Zhou Jijiu:
"Zhou Jijiu, did I pass?"
She really wanted to come to the martial arts school and spoke sincerely: "I will compensate for the broken wooden sword. My martial arts skills are not good enough yet, but I will practice every day, every day."
Zhou Jijiu: "Who did you learn the whip technique from?"
Su Zhizhi: "I practiced by myself according to the book."
Zhou Jijiu: "Where did you get the book?"
Su Zhizhi: "My mother bought it on the street for ten cents."
Zhou Jijiu was so overwhelmed with emotion that he choked up and couldn't even speak.
Good seedling, absolutely good seedling.
Wizards, wizards.
Better than he imagined.
It doesn’t matter whether they are male or female or how old they are. What matters is that they cannot miss this talent.
Zhou Jijiu personally took out the student registration book and solemnly handed the pen to Su Zhizhi:
"Come, write down your name. From today on, you are a student of our martial arts school!"
