Chapter 293 Chapter 293 The General's Brother-in-Law is a Man of Both Civil and Military Skills...
Qin Qian patiently coaxed, "Then do you want to spar with my soldiers? Let Grandpa see how powerful my grandson-in-law is."
“That’s fine.”
Xu Yunfan was eager to try. "But, Grandpa, your soldiers can't be as weak as Jing Ye Ze. I can kick them away with one kick. If they are too weak, then my strength won't be reflected. It's meaningless."
Qin Qian was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but feel arrogant.
But it suits his taste!
Young people should be crazy.
A young man should be reckless and frivolous.
When the generals following Qin Qian heard Xu Yunfan's arrogant tone, their brows furrowed. Who is this kid looking down on?
Although Jing Ye Ze is no longer in the Qin family army, his strength is obvious to everyone. To be able to become a small deputy general, Jing Ye Ze must have some ability. But even so, in Xu Yunfan's eyes, he is still a weakling. Isn't this a slap in their faces?
"Old General, this is not appropriate. What if... we, a group of military generals, don't know how to control our strength and injure Master Xu? That would be terrible." said a military general.
The call of "Master Xu" was enough to prove that the general sneered at Xu Yunfan's so-called iron-blooded tough guy.
Master, in everyone's impression, has always been the representative of literature.
As for "wen", most of them are weak scholars who cannot carry anything with their hands or shoulders, let alone those who are good at martial arts.
Xu Yunfan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, it's inevitable to get hurt when sparring. It's unavoidable. What's wrong with that? To be honest, I really want to give it a try."
Back then, Xu Yunfan was not a regular soldier, but he was still selected to participate in special training, which was enough to show how strong he was.
Not only the Xu family members couldn't figure it out, but even Xu Yunfan's in-laws couldn't figure out why Xu Yunfan was so awesome.
The Xu family is well-known in the upper circle. The reason for their fame, in addition to being a noble family, is that the Xu family is well-known for producing high IQs. The children of the Xu family generally have an IQ much higher than ordinary people.
For this reason, when Xu Yunzhuo was born, he was tested for IQ when he was only a few years old. When his IQ was found to be higher than that of his father, he was taken away as expected.
Later, the second son of the Xu family also had a high IQ. When it came to the third son, Xu Yunfan's IQ was even higher than that of his father and two older brothers. Some departments began to visit the Xu family again.
The Xu family, whether it is the grandfather's generation, the father's generation, or even Xu Yunzhuo's generation, are all young men, but no one is into martial arts.
This led everyone to believe that no one in the Xu family was suitable for military service.
What no one expected was that the men of the Xu family were not unsuitable for joining the army. They were very suitable for it. Look at their physical strength. They didn't look like normal people at all.
At least they have eight abdominal muscles, but sixteen-year-old Xu Yunfan has no abdominal muscles at all. He follows their training and never lags behind. No matter how heavy the physical training is, he can keep up.
Even so, his grandfather scolded Xu Yunfan to death because he wanted to see where Xu Yunfan's limit was.
It was not until his grandfather discovered that Xu Yunfan was afraid of insects and ghosts that he heartlessly threw him into the rainforest.
After the rainforest training, Xu Yunfan became braver. After learning that Xu Yunfan was afraid of ghosts because he was taken to watch horror movies by his brother and several cousins, Xu's grandfather went home that day and beat the gangsters in the family with his belt, making them scream in pain.
Grandpa Xu asked as he was smoking, "Do you still dare to do it? Do you still dare to do it..."
The cousins who were whipped so hard that they jumped up and down turned into monkeys, feeling extremely aggrieved. "Grandpa, you keep asking us if we dare or not. Then why don't you tell us clearly, what do we dare or not?"
These brothers are model young people. They are positive, optimistic, cheerful, studious, helpful, and have never done anything bad. So, what else do they dare to do?
Grandpa Xu paused, "Didn't I make myself clear?"
"Grandpa, what did you say? You came back and started whipping people with your belt, and then you asked us if we dared to do it again. How could we understand what you meant?"
They are almost twenty years old and still screaming in pain after being beaten by their grandfather. Do they have any shame left?
Xu Yunfan has practiced martial arts before, so he may not be worse than the ancient generals.
Many of today's martial arts have been refined to retain their essence, but ancient martial arts were not to be underestimated. Xu Yunfan boasted, but he did not dare to underestimate his enemy.
"Master Xu is very confident."
"I have confidence in my own abilities. It's hard not to be confident."
Xu Yunfan was still speaking the truth, so Qin Qian slapped him and coughed, signaling him to be more modest. Otherwise, if he boasted too much, he would be punished, which would not only hurt but also be embarrassing. "You've been talking for so long, your mouth must be dry."
"No." Xu Yunfan was so excited at the moment that he didn't hear the hidden meaning in Qin Qian's words. He pointed to the trial platform in front of him and said, "Grandpa, I want to go up."
"Really? If you get beaten later, don't cry, and don't tell Run'er when you go back." Qin Qian was also convinced. He didn't know who his son and grandson took after, but they loved their husband so much, as if he were the apple of their eye.
Xu Yunfan chuckled, "Grandpa, don't underestimate me. I'm your grandson-in-law, I'm very capable. How could I be injured?"
When the generals heard this, they were all very upset. "Since Master Xu is so interested, then please come in and let us broaden our horizons."
Let’s see how a scholar can defeat these military generals.
Young people nowadays are not afraid of biting their tongues when they brag.
The few of them spoke without avoiding the crowd and without lowering their voices, so those passing by and the soldiers training nearby could hear them.
Oh no.
The old general's grandson-in-law is so arrogant that he actually wants to compete with their orthodox military generals.
The military camp is not in the capital, and not everyone can enter the camp, and soldiers are not allowed to travel at will. Everyone knows very little about Xu Yunfan.
To be honest, when everyone learned that the general actually had a brother, they were very excited. Some even secretly believed that Qin Run would be the husband of their sons. However, they didn't expect that someone else would take advantage of them first.
Xu Yunfan went on stage, and soon, a group of generals who were dissatisfied with Xu Yunfan's solemn words signed up enthusiastically, all wanting to go on stage to "compete" with Xu Yunfan.
"Master Xu, I'm sorry."
The generals who came on stage clasped their fists and saluted. Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on, let me see how powerful you are."
Qin Qian and a group of generals were watching from below. The other generals intended to teach Xu Yunfan a lesson, to teach him how to behave. They told him not to speak so arrogantly next time, otherwise he would be punished.
But what surprised everyone was, what did Xu Yunfan do?
Isn't he a delicate and tender-skinned teacher? Why does he want to steal the limelight from these military generals?
“Hmm…”
"ah……"
The generals who went up one by one were either beaten back or kicked away by Xu Yunfan with a spinning kick, sliding for several meters before finally stopping.
Qin Qian felt it was incredible as he looked at his son-in-law, who had already fought with several generals on the stage without losing his breath or blushing.
The other generals were surprised when they saw this.
"Old General, where did you find this grandson-in-law? You really can't judge a person by his appearance."
At this time, even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit that this kid is really capable.
Qin Qian looked at Xu Yunfan, who was punching and kicking swiftly and fiercely on the stage, and his heart was filled with emotion. "It's not that I, the old man, found him, it's mainly because my grandson has good taste."
"Old General," Rong Si, Qin Qian's former deputy general, was very excited. "Has Master Xu practiced this technique before?"
The question was asked like this. Anyone present who knew martial arts knew that Xu Yunfan's every move was not random, and it was obvious that he had practiced real martial arts.
"He must have practiced before. Just look at the speed of his punches. This kid is really good."
"What's with that punch? Lin Zhihua seems to be fainting." Rong Si saw it clearly. Lin Zhihua was fine just now, but Xu Yunfan only threw one punch, and Lin Zhihua's body went limp. Now he was being supported by two soldiers, and he still looked weak all over.
Rong Si couldn't wait any longer, so he went up and pulled down Xu Yunfan, who was fighting passionately.
Several veterans surrounded Xu Yunfan. At this time, a soldier ran in from outside. He said something to Qin Qian. It was visibly that the latter seemed shocked, and then he couldn't hide his surprise.
The delighted Qin Qian wanted to squeeze in and call out Xu Yunfan, but several veterans who were stunned by Xu Yunfan's explanation and demonstration did not care about anything else and pushed Qin Qian away.
Qin Qian tried several times, but these martial arts fanatics even dared to push him. Qin Qian had no choice but to yell and finally succeeded in bringing Xu Yunfan out.
"Yunfan, let's go back quickly."
"Old General, what are you doing? We are discussing a critical moment, and we can't have you doing this."
"Excuse me, Master Xu, come on, tell me how many styles are there in Muay Thai?"
Seeing that several veterans were about to surround Xu Yun again, Qin Qian hurriedly said, "No, we have to go back today. My brother-in-law has passed the imperial examination. If I don't go back, the officials won't be able to find him. There's no other way. This imperial examination is different from ordinary candidates. It's not good not to go back."
Qin Qian took Xu Yunfan back, leaving the group alone standing in the scorching sun, unable to recover for a long time.
After all, they have a narrow vision. There really are people in the world who are both civil and military.
A well-mannered teacher would not be in the eyes of these people. They thought that Qin Run would be better off marrying their own son than Xu Yunfan. But when Xu Yunfan came today, these people no longer thought so.
Anyone with normal vision would know what to choose.
People like Xu Yunfan are not comparable to their own son who has strong limbs but a simple mind.
When he learned that he had passed the imperial examination, compared to Qin Qian's excitement, Xu Yunfan was calm, as if he had already thought about it.
I'm already afraid of what's already in my pocket, so what's so surprising about that?
Xiao Qin's house was bustling again. Several yamen runners came to Xiao Qin's house with gongs and drums. Qin Run had prepared silver in advance, and after the yamen runners announced the good news, he stuffed several money bags into their hands.
The yamen runner who came to report the good news felt the weight of the money bag in his palm, and couldn't help but feel happy and said a few good words.
This Xu Xiucai, no, now he is Xu Jieyuan, is really generous to the other man, worthy of being the owner of the Food City.
Today is the day when the results are announced. Xu Yunfan didn't pay much attention to these things. He was taken to the military camp by Qin Qian early in the morning. When he came back, he looked a little disheveled.
Fang Zixi pushed him aside and said, "Go clean up first. Someone will come to congratulate you later."
After tidying up, Xu Yunfan was dragged to the courtyard gate by Qin Qian with a look of despair. Sure enough, not long after, some officials who were only heard of but never seen came to the gate one after another.
"Ah, General Qin, it's been a long time since we last met. General Qin is still as graceful as ever!"
Qin Qian was originally a military commander and had only been back in Beijing for a few years, so he was not good at speaking in those elegant words. "Master Zhou is here. Come on, please come in. We should have a good drink later."
"General Qin, your grandson-in-law is truly a rare talent. He is so extraordinary at such a young age."
"That's right. An eighteen-year-old champion is truly remarkable."
In fact, an eighteen-year-old Jieyuan is nothing. In the Dayan Dynasty, there were sixteen-year-old scholars, but they were few and far between. An eighteen-year-old Jieyuan was even rarer.
Even if it's very few, it's not nonexistent.
But the eighteen-year-old Jieyuan was also the Jieyuan who took the imperial examination and became the top scorer. Not to mention that he is a rare existence, just this, he is unique.
"Master Xu, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Xu Yunfan glanced at the person in front of him and said, "You are Lord Ye. I remember you. You came to visit me when I got married."
Lord Ye smiled kindly, "By the way, Master Xu has a good memory."
"No, no, I've been well-read since I was young and extremely intelligent. How could I not remember someone like you?"
A photographic memory and unparalleled intelligence?
Is this true or false?
I heard that General Qin's grandson-in-law is a shameless man. When I saw him today, I found that the rumors were true.
Lord Ye's smile froze, and he chuckled twice, "Haha, Master Xu is really humorous."
Xu Yunfan glanced at the others. No matter whether they were friendly or not, whether he knew them or not, or whoever they were, he just smiled.
It's really strange that a top scorer in the provincial examination could actually have ministers come to congratulate him?
Among those who came to congratulate today, is there anyone who really came just to celebrate Xu Yunfan’s passing the imperial examination?
The reason I came here is because of the Qin and Xiao families.
But it is undeniable that it was precisely because Xu Yunfan achieved an unprecedented high score in the Master's Competition, and now Xu Yunfan has passed the Liyuan level, coupled with the relationship between the Qin and Xiao families, that even second- and third-rank ministers came to congratulate him.
With so many people coming, they had to entertain them at the restaurant. Qin Run and Fang Zixi quickly made arrangements. Lord Qin said, "Yun Fan, the restaurant has been arranged. Tell your grandfather to invite the guests to the restaurant."
"Grandpa, thank you for your hard work." Xu Yunfan said inwardly. He was really not good at these things. The Second Lord Qin was registering the gifts. He had registered which ones could be accepted and which ones could not be accepted. He really couldn't bear to do this kind of thing.
Second Lord Qin glanced at Xu Yunfan and said, "As you should. You can go with your two grandfathers. We are still here at home."
"Wow, Xu Xiucai is amazing. He got first place again this time. It's really amazing."
Even if several days have passed since the red list was posted, people would still go to see it from time to time.
When seeing the name number one on the red list, some people were jealous, while others were envious.
"Why are you still calling me a scholar? I'm a juren now."
"You are also wrong. Master Xu is not a Juren. He is the first Juren, the Jieyuan."
"Isn't the Jieyuan also a Juren? Do you understand that?"
"That's right. No matter how well you do in the exam, you're still a juren. What's so great about that? Why would you come here and brag about it every day? Are you being so boastful because people are giving you money?"
"I don't understand? Are you kidding? Do you think Master Xu is just an ordinary Juren? Jieyuan is a Juren, but Juren is not necessarily Jieyuan. Jieyuan, as the first place in the provincial examination, has a particularly outstanding status among all the Juren. He is the best among all the Juren and enjoys higher social reputation and respect. How can an ordinary Juren get this treatment? He got first place in the exam. Can the first place be treated the same as others?"
"That's right. Master Xu is a junior high school student. He is special because he ranks first. Otherwise, how can there be a distinction between top and bottom students?"
The man who was speaking sneered at the man beside him, "Their strength is there, we are just speaking the truth, I think you are just envious."
The man being talked about was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to refute. Damn, they were really envious and jealous.
We are both men, why is there such a big difference between us?
Xu Yunfan is not only good-looking, but also good at martial arts. He is a man of both civil and military talents. This is something that the top scorers in other years cannot compare to.
You might say Xu Yunfan is a useless scholar, but he can make a lot of weird things. Compared with other scholars who can't lift anything with their hands or shoulders, he is an alternative.
If you say that Xu Yunfan is a gigolo, the group of people who protect Xu Yunfan asked back, if you have the ability, you can also learn to be a gigolo. If you have his looks, knowledge and abilities, it doesn't matter whether you want to or not. Even if you don't want to, they will force you to be a gigolo.
As soon as they said a few words to Xu Yunfan, these guys and girls started yelling like they had eaten firecrackers.
A man sighed quietly, "Damn it, it's a pity that my parents are a bit ugly. If they had raised me to be like Master Xu, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife."
Xu Yunfan didn't care how much resentment he had among men. Tonight was Lord Qin's birthday, so Xu Yunfan got up early in the morning and started working.
"Brother, what should we do?" Qin An and Qin Mu knew that Xu Yunfan was busy, so they didn't go out to play and stayed at home to help.
Xu Yunfan planned to bake a cake, and the little ones were very happy.
Cake, they love it very much, but unfortunately my brother-in-law said it is not easy to make. They haven’t eaten it since the eldest brother’s birthday last time.
Although the food city also sells small cakes, the small cakes are different from the big cakes made by Goff.
The little ones happily circled around Xu Yunfan, and Xu Yunfan was happy too. He had been away at work for the past two days and only came home in the afternoons, so he had less time to spend with the children. "Do you want to eat the cake my brother-in-law made? Let's make a big cake together today, and you can have it tonight, okay?"
"Okay, okay~" Xiaobao held on to the edge of the stove with both hands, shaking his head happily. He hadn't put the food in his mouth yet, but just by listening, his little face showed a look of satisfaction.
Xu Yunfan flicked Xiaobao's forehead with his finger, "Little foodie."
Xiaobao is really not picky about food. He eats whatever Qin Run cooks. He can eat half a bowl of rice at every meal. He eats a lot of meat and vegetables. He also has fruit after meals every day. The food is good, and the little guy is so white and plump, which is really rare.
"Dad, this is for you." Xiaobao took out a multi-flavored peanut from somewhere and held it up to give to Xu Yunfan.
The multi-flavored peanuts were fried and had some crumbs on them. Xiaobao probably put them in his pocket, so his little hands were a little dirty and greasy, and they didn't look very good. Xu Yunfan didn't know whether to eat them or not, so he finally gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and ate them.
Xu Yunfan grabbed Xiaobao's hand and brushed off the crumbs. "Don't put food in your pockets, kid. Otherwise, your dad will find out and spank you."
