Liu Haonian rubbed his chin and said, "But he's not quick, he's doing bad things!"
Liu Haojia chuckled and said: "The veteran my father mentioned is probably one who has been in the military formation all year round. They face the enemy in the queue and have difficulty moving, so the competition is speed and luck. The person who taught me is Ye Ye in the army. No, I rarely fight against others, and most of the time I fight one-on-one. So it’s normal to have more destructive tricks! And they have also taught me a lot of ways to fight in the military formation. It’s not as good as this time. Let’s deal with you in another way?”
Liu Haonian said loudly: "Come on, come on! Who is afraid of whom?"
The two people returned to the center of the martial arts arena and started their stance again, but this time Liu Haonian was much more careful and did not try to attack again. Liu Haojia took a deep breath, widened his eyes and pondered for a moment before taking the lead! He roared and struck Liu Haonian with the same straight strike!
Originally, Liu Haonian was proficient in martial arts, so he should have seven or eight ways to deal with this move. But when he saw the knife coming towards him, he felt his heart shake, and he couldn't help but take a step back!
But Liu Haojia was unreasonable and took advantage of Liu Haonian's retreat to step forward and sweep across with his sword! Forced Liu Haonian to take a step back again!
So this is what happened on the field. Liu Haojia raised his sword and slashed with wide open and wide strokes. He had no moves at all. He was just doing vertical slashes, diagonal slashes, horizontal slashes, and left and right kicks! But just these few moves forced Liu Haonian to retreat continuously!
Moreover, Liu's father and others were surprised to find that it would be fine if Liu Haonian didn't parry, but when he parried, his body shook and he couldn't control the rhythm! Liu Haojia didn't stop until he was forced to the edge of the martial arts arena!
When Liu Haonian saw his younger brother stop, he also put down the knife and gasped, "I'm so ashamed, I can't even take these swords from you!"
At this time, Liu Guangyuan quickly walked forward and handed towels to the two of them, and said at the same time: "I have a guess about this, because the second young master has really been in battle, but the eldest young master is just practicing. In terms of momentum, It’s different! Maybe the difference lies here!”
Father Liu also followed up and nodded and said, "Yes, that's the only difference! I watched the waiter swinging the knife with fear from the side. I felt a little out of breath!"
After saying that, he took the wooden knife from Liu Haonian's hand and started dancing it like him. However, in the eyes of Liu Haonian and Liu Guangyuan, although his movements were almost exactly the same as Liu Haojia's, they were much different in terms of momentum, so they became increasingly convinced of their original ideas.
Then the four people discussed this issue for a long time. They were talking happily and were already considering whether to let Liu Haonian go to Bian Town for training when Mother Liu arrived! Mother Liu heard that they were still dancing with knives and guns during the Chinese New Year, so she rushed over and scolded them without further discussion.
Wait until late afternoon. The dinner that Liu's mother and others had been preparing for all day was finally about to begin. The whole house is filled with the aroma of food. The smell of strong liquor and the cheerful atmosphere! Because today is New Year's Eve, not only the master's family has to celebrate, but the servants are also exempted from all duties. You can eat, drink and have fun as much as you want.
The banquet has been set up in the main hall, and the Liu family members are taking their seats one after another. Mother Liu sent away the maid who was serving. He personally took the jug and poured wine for several people. Then Father Liu announced that today's banquet had officially begun, and everyone started eating and drinking eagerly.
Just when everyone in the Liu family was talking and laughing, a servant suddenly walked in quickly. Liu Guangyuan stood up in a hurry to greet him. Before he could ask a question, he heard the servant shout loudly: "There is someone coming from the palace! It was Eunuch Zhang who brought people here, and he also brought a decree!"
When Liu's father and others heard this, they immediately stood up in surprise, while Liu Guangyuan immediately ordered the servants to prepare the incense table and other things. Then several people greeted him.
Not far after they left the main hall, they saw a group of people approaching carrying lanterns. In front of the crowd was a servant holding a lantern, leading the way. Liu Haojia could see clearly by the firelight that it was Zhang Jia who was leading the way!
Father Liu didn't know why Zhang Jia appeared here at this time. But looking at the smile on Zhang Jia's face, I knew it wasn't a bad thing. So he hurriedly led everyone to greet him and said with a smile: "It turns out that Zhang Banban is here! On New Year's Eve, instead of staying in the palace to serve the Long Live Lord, what are you doing here in my little prince's mansion?"
"
Zhang Jia flicked the fly whisk and said with a smile: "What's the matter with our family? Of course it's to announce the decree!"
Although they guessed Zhang Jia's intention, Liu's father and others still showed a just right look of surprise! At this time, other servants had already prepared the incense table and other things and placed them in the courtyard. Then Father Liu and several men knelt down behind the incense table.
Just then I heard Zhang Jia say: "Wait a minute! Lord Marquis, I have to trouble you to call all your daughters-in-law up this time!"
Everyone had their suspicions upon hearing this, and Liu's father hurriedly called his wife and several daughters-in-law to come forward and kneel down. After everyone knelt down, Zhang Jia took the imperial edict handed over by the eunuch, unfolded it and slowly read: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and he said:..."
Just as the Liu family guessed, the first imperial edict was a reward to Gu Ninghou Mansion, and a batch of overseas treasures were awarded. In the name of Liu's father, he was able to do things well.
The second imperial edict was the real purpose of Zhang Jia's visit this time. In the second imperial edict, Emperor Wanli consecrated Zhang Pejia and Tan Cuiying, and received the titles of third and fourth grades respectively! This is the so-called imperial decree! From today on, they are people with class and salary!
After Zhang Jia read out the imperial edict, he said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, please get up quickly!"
The edict had been read out, and Father Liu led everyone to thank him. After getting up, he asked the servants to remove the incense table and send the edict to the ancestral hall for worship. Then he stepped forward and took Zhang Jia's hand and said, "Zhang Banban has worked hard this time! Why don't you have a few drinks with us before going back to the palace!"
Zhang Jia smiled and said, "No, no! Long live the Lord is still in the palace waiting for our family to return. If it weren't for the long live Lord's care that the decree must be delivered today, no one would want to move on this New Year's Eve!"
Father Liu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! I have to work with Zhang Banban on New Year's Eve. It's really hard!"
While talking, Liu Guangyuan had already sent red envelopes to other eunuchs. As for Zhang Jia's share, it was naturally collected by the eunuchs. Familiarity comes with it, and the rules cannot be broken!
Afterwards, the two parties were polite and Zhang Jia took the people away! When Zhang Jia left, Gu Ninghou's mansion was filled with joy! Other maids and servants came forward to congratulate Zhang Peijia and the two on their being awarded the title. Mother Liu also held the two people's hands and talked happily!
