"Start!" Seeing that both of them were standing still, the instructor shouted. Mei Siyuan hurriedly recalled the fighting moves he had seen before, hoping to learn a thing or two temporarily, but he didn't expect Feigdong to hit him hard in the chest with an elbow. Mei Yuanchen took a few steps back with a bang, and almost fell to the ground. His vision went dark, and his chest felt stagnant, feeling painful and stuffy. Next to him, Xia Chengxuan saw that Mei Yuanchen was so unbeatable. He became very anxious and shouted, "Hit him on the waist!" Instructor Song was sitting aside to supervise, and he was not allowed to interfere. He yelled, "Xia Chengxuan, don't say anything more." !”
Fei Gedong already had resentment towards Mei Yuanchen and Xia Chengxuan, and he would not dare to find an excuse at ordinary times. This was the best time to use martial arts. If he was willing to let it go, he would walk quickly and come back to get it. Mei Yuanchen heard Xia Chengxuan's suggestion in a panic. He didn't think much about it at this time. He didn't know what the move was, so he lowered his head and suddenly hit Feigedong's waist. "Pfft!" Feigedong didn't expect that he would hit him without following the taught moves at all. He was unprepared and was hit on the waist and fell heavily. He wanted to get up and take revenge, but he felt unbearable pain in his waist and abdomen and couldn't get up for a while. Xia Chengxuan clapped his hands heavily and shouted the word "good"!
Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but ask in their hearts, "What move is this? Which move in military physical skills is this?" Instructor Song stood up and angrily said, "What move did you use? When will I teach you to head someone with your head?" ?" Mei Yuanchen felt uneasy after bumping into someone. He felt guilty for a moment and replied weakly, "The student was accidentally hit. He was in a daze when he heard Chengxuan say that he was going to hit him on the waist. He didn't think too much about the move, so he naturally resisted. past."
Instructor Song saw that Feigedong had been helped up by Liu Shiru. Although he was still hunched over, he seemed to be fine. After a long while, he let out a heavy breath and said in a deep voice, "Feigedong, Class B. Mei." Yuanchen, C and so on.”
"Is this the end?" Mei Yuanchen felt his whole body light up. Although he only got the lowest grade of C, the result of the small school competition was far better than he expected. I thought that I would be beaten severely and lose in an embarrassing way, but now I actually won. Even though Feigdong hit him with an elbow on his chest, which was still burning, he knocked him down in a daze, which was no loss at all. Although winning is neither glorious nor beautiful, it is a thousand times better than being beaten and losing without the ability to fight back. Immediately receiving the instructor's scolding, he returned to stand next to Xia Chengxuan angrily, and saw him smiling and making faces at him, and he was actually happier than himself.
Mei Yuanchen has been listless since martial arts school. I remembered my mother saying to herself in the carriage on the way to the capital, "Hey, you are just like your uncle when he was young. He usually didn't like to practice martial arts and only read some books and journals. It's natural for your parents to be by your side. It will make you suffer. If you leave us alone, how can you take care of yourself and protect yourself?" He also recalled the letter left by his mother before leaving, "The princes and teachers are all masters, and the martial arts are relaxed, so I should try my best. OK. When you go out, you must not be without weapons, so please remember this." My mother often talks about how she looks very much like my uncle when he was young, and he generally doesn’t like to practice martial arts. However, my uncle has been missing for many years and may have been killed by evil people. Every time my mother thinks about it, I don’t know how many tears she sheds secretly! "My father and mother love me, pity me, and worry about me. They have repeatedly advised me to put more thought into learning martial arts. They must be worried that I will follow in the footsteps of my uncle. But I have always been talkative and careless, and I have not taken it to heart. It is really unfilial and disrespectful! "I immediately secretly made up my mind that I will spend more time and effort when teaching martial arts at the backyard supervisory school in the future. I will learn martial arts in the future to keep myself safe.
"You're a very strange person. You beat someone and you feel depressed. This would be better, but you actually started crying!" At this time, the teaching was finished. Xia Chengxuan and Mei Yuanchen rode to Prince Jia's Mansion together. He actually shed tears and couldn't help but joke. Mei Yuanchen hurriedly wiped away his tears and scolded with a smile, "You're just making random guesses! Thank you for reminding me in the martial arts school today, otherwise I would be no match for Feigedong, and I'd be beaten so shamelessly that I wouldn't be able to go back." Xia Chengxuan smiled and said, "Don't forget, I'm your sworn brother! How can I honestly see you being beaten?" The two looked at each other and laughed. The four boys watched from behind, looking puzzled.
"Chengxuan, you made Yiyi very angry when you left the house. You must try to coax her!" Mei Yuanchen suddenly said as they walked to the busy street.
Xia Chengxuan waved his hands and curled his lips and said, "No! She bullied me a lot."
"Then give me the money you have on you." Mei Yuanchen reined in his horse, jumped down and stood still and said.
Although Xia Chengxuan didn't know what he was going to do, he still took the money bag from his waist and threw it over, then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Mei Yuanchen gave the reins to the boy and explained, "I saw some interesting items in a few shops around the corner, so I went to see if there was anything I liked and bought it for Yiyi and Haitang. Usually I When my parents go out and come back, they always bring some small things for me." After that, he walked quickly. Xia Chengxuan and the other boys had no choice but to follow behind.
Mei Yuanchen visited a few street corners and entered a shop owned by the "King of Clay Figures". The owner was an old lady.
"Sir, do you want to see something?" Seeing Mei Yuanchen come in, he asked politely.
"Zhangtang, is your place the most famous clay figurine shop?" Mei Yuanchen asked. The old lady smiled and replied, "Young master wanted to see the sign before asking. My surname is Wang, so this clay figurine shop is called Clay Figurine King. The old lady dare not say that her clay figurines are the best, and the quality of the items is But it all depends on the buyer." Mei Yuanchen suddenly realized it and said with a smile, "That's it. Then show me all your clay figurines."
The old lady turned around and moved tables one after another under the counter. On them were placed objects of various sizes, including wild beasts, ladies, and exotic flowers. Mei Yuanchen looked at it carefully, picked out a peacock clay doll and a female doll with a double bun, and asked, "Master, bring me the best brocade box and put it in it. How much money do you want?"
Seeing that Mei Yuanchen was so happy to choose the object, the old lady said with a smile on her face, "Sir, a clay doll is worth 350 gold, the brocade box is worth 280 gold, and together they are worth 1,250 gold. Five coins in total." Mei Yuanchen suddenly thought of something and his hands froze. When the lady in charge saw it, she said that the buyer thought the object was too expensive, so she explained, "This clay doll is not easy to make. When you look at the lady's description, she smiles like a real person. The feathers of this peacock are just like real ones." , It will take my old man a long time to make such a one!" Mei Yuanchen listened and smiled, "The master misunderstood. I want to come here to buy two clay dolls and a rare bird around the first day of every month. , a lady, I hope the uncle will make all the exotic birds, hair buns, and costumes look like this. Well, I will pay double the silver." After saying that, he took out four ingots and one tael of silver from his purse, which was exactly Today the superintendent pays the students the salary.
After hearing what she saw, the female leader was extremely happy and replied, "Oh, that's great! There's no problem at all!" Mei Yuanchen was very satisfied with the two clay dolls, put four taels of silver on the counter, and said, " Here are four taels, you take the settlement money first, and hope you can pinch the puppet better, I will come and get it as scheduled." The female leader said yes again and again.
Mei Yuanchen took the brocade box and walked out of the shop. When he saw Xia Chengxuan leaning against the wall and waiting, he smiled and said, "After you have picked out the things, go back!"
