Not long after we arrived at the main hall and sat down separately, we heard Yu Tongfu's laughter from a distance.

As soon as this guy moved into his grandfather's house, he never left. Even after the examinations and palace examinations, he did not return to Daxing.

Not only did he bring Shi Huaiji, who was 10 years old after the Chinese New Year, he also held Yu Taiji, who was only 2 years old, in his arms.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui had already stood up, Yu Tongfu did not say hello to him first, but put Yu Taiji on the ground and ordered Taiji and Huaiji beside him to kneel down.

Shi Huaiji plopped down, knelt down, and shouted, "Teacher."

Yu Taiji, on the other hand, grabbed the hem of Yu Tongfu's robe and looked at Shi Zhongkui timidly.

"Taiji, kneel down quickly and worship me."

Being asked by Yu Tongfu, Taiji became even more frightened.

Shi Zhongkui hurriedly advised, "Senior brother, don't scare the child. Since I have promised to hand over Huaiji and Taiji, there is no reason to go back on my word."

Shi Huaiyong, Shi Guangzhu and Yu Tongfu were immediately overjoyed, and even the housekeepers and servants on the side had smiles on their faces.

He walked to Shi Huaiji, who was kneeling on the ground but looking straight at him, "Does Huaiji know what a teacher is?"

The little guy thought for a while and replied uneasily, "I heard from my father that the teacher is the one who teaches me my skills and can also beat me."

Shi Zhongkui glanced at Shi Guangzhu in surprise, while Shi Huaiyong directly yelled and cursed, "You bastard with no knowledge or skills has ruined my precious grandson's education."

After saying that, he smiled and cupped his hands to Shi Zhongkui and said, "Boqian, please don't worry. If Huaiji is disobedient, he will be scolded when he needs to be scolded and beaten when he needs to be beaten. I will definitely not interfere or object."

Shi Zhongkui smiled secretly in his heart, "My precious grandson" already meant that he should listen to the opposite.

He helped Shi Huaiji up, and under everyone's surprised gazes, he reached out and pinched Huaiji's shoulders, arms, and even his knees and leg bones.

Shi Huaiyong knew at a glance that he was touching his bones, and his smile became even brighter.

But within a few seconds his face fell again.

Of course, his original intention was to let his descendants learn martial arts, but the Zhou Dynasty had been a country for a hundred years, and even though it had no martial arts skills, it was not the turn of the princes like himself to lead troops on expeditions.

Therefore, most of the Xungui family faces the same choice as the Jia family.

Should I continue to practice martial arts and study military books?

Or take the imperial examination route.

It's a pity that due to being pampered since childhood, there are really not many people who can achieve success.

Shi Zhongkui doesn't care about so many things. It's not impossible to let a child who likes martial arts read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he must pay attention to the method.

He looked at Huaiji's palms again and found that the 10-year-old child's hands already had a frosted feeling.

This must be the result of wielding swords and guns.

No, based on my own experience of visiting the house several times, I would definitely not be able to touch real swords and guns, but it is still not difficult to use sticks and the like.

"Have you ever practiced crossbows and spear clubs?"

Shi Huaiji looked at Shi Huaiyong and Shi Guangzhu with a guilty conscience.

"Watch what I do," Shi Guangzhu scolded, "Whatever your teacher asks you, you bastard will answer whatever you want."

Shi Huaiji immediately looked at Shi Huaiyong for help.

It's a pity that my grandfather didn't point at Shi Guangzhu's nose and scold him like before.

Now the little guy immediately understood that the new teacher in front of him seemed to be more powerful than his own father and grandfather.

I can only nod my head honestly.

Shi Zhongkui laughed, said a few words to Shi Huaiyong, and everyone went to the martial arts field in the backyard.

While walking, Shi Zhongkui was still laughing and teasing Yu Taiji, who was in Tongfu's arms.

The little guy didn't take things seriously this time.

After all, I heard from my biological father that the preserved fruits, fresh peaches and other foods that both myself and my sister liked were all given by the uncle in front of me.

Now it was natural to call him "Uncle Master", but he was probably worried that if he called him Teacher Shi Zhongkui, he would be beaten if he disobeyed in the future, so Taiji refused to call him Teacher.

Yu Tongfu was so anxious that he almost cursed again.

But Shi Zhongkui waved his hand patiently.

After arriving at the martial arts arena, Shi Zhongkui took a look around and felt a little regretful.

Just looking at the venue and the weapons around it, you can tell that this place is most likely just for show.

If you think about the Jia family again, they are definitely worse than the Shi family.

Even the martial arts arena has disappeared.

No wonder the emperor looked down on the Jia family.

If you don't learn the skills of your ancestors and insist on competing with scholars all over the world for fame, this is not to abandon the good and pursue the weak.

To put it bluntly, the children are unwilling to endure hardship and gradually become a group of worms who only care about wealth and honor but do not know how to serve the country.

However, Shi Zhongkui then thought that the ancients were not as confused as they thought.

Perhaps he was afraid of the emperor's suspicion, so he had to switch from military to literary.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui also knew that the decline of the family was inevitable.

After being rich for a long time, it is better to just focus on having fun and not do evil.

He grabbed a bow that looked like it should be a one-stone bow, but as soon as he got hold of it, Shi Zhongkui knew it was something like that.

With a fierce pull, everyone heard a "click" sound, and the bow was broken directly.

Shi Huaiyong's pupils shrank. A person who can break a stone bow must have the strength of a thousand catties in his hands.

This is a direct pull, rather than two-hand break, which is definitely more difficult.

He turned around and shouted to the steward, "Go get the three-stone bow."

Soon a straight-draw bow with a dark bow, obviously waxed and cared for many years, was delivered.

Shi Zhongkui was not polite and took the bow and arrow. He was thinking about whether to shoot a series of arrows at the target twenty meters away or to shoot through the grass target with one arrow.

Suddenly I saw a group of wild geese flying in the sky from south to north.

Without thinking, he grabbed a long arrow, stretched his bow and shot the arrow in one go.

Everyone saw the goose at the head of the flock. Just as they were about to flutter their wings to escape, a long arrow had already been shot into the goose's body.

"Good archery skills."

Shi Huaiyong burst out laughing, and then hurriedly ordered someone to pick it up.

After several servants heard this, they hurriedly ran in the direction where the wild goose fell.

Fortunately, the Imperial Palace is big enough, so there is no need to go to other places to pick it up.

Shi Huaiji looked at Shi Zhongkui with deep admiration in his eyes.

Shi Zhongkui took the opportunity and said, "Of course you can learn from Huaiji, but you have to memorize 50 words of the Analects every day, and I will teach you as a teacher."

Shi Huaiji's face fell, and Shi Zhongkui didn't say much. He grabbed three bows and arrows with four fingers.

He raised his bow and nocked an arrow again, only to hear two humming sounds, and three arrows were inserted into the bullseye twenty meters away among the lightning flints.

"What a skill," Shi Huaiyong exclaimed again. "Three arrows shot out after two shots. This is a real stunt on the battlefield to kill the general and capture the flag."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Zhongkui with bright eyes and asked, "Did Bo Qian become a famous teacher?"

Shi Zhongkui said, "I just came here to practice casually after studying."

Shi Huaiyong was so angry that he almost cursed.

There is no way to fool a fool like you.

Shi Zhongkui didn't explain much and asked Shi Huaiji with a smile, "This is called continuous arrows. Does Huaiji want to learn it?"

Shi Huaiji was stunned for a few times, then nodded quickly.

"Endorse it."

After saying that, he ignored the troubled Shi Huaiji and looked at Taiji in Tongfu's arms.

But this little guy obviously had no interest in bows and arrows. Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "The teacher has a lot of delicious food at home, do you want Taiji?"

Yu Taiji was indeed attracted, and Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "If you want to eat, after eating, you have to know what the food is called.

If you learn how to write, the teacher will reward you with a new kind of food, okay?"

Sure enough, Yu Taiji, who had no idea about reading and writing, was deceived by Shi Zhongkui.

A few servants in the distance were grabbing the wild goose, shouting with excited expressions on their faces, "Sir, your arrow hit the wild goose's heart."

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui shot an arrow through the heart of the wild goose, Shi Huaiyong burst into laughter.

In addition, everyone could see the tangled expression on Shi Huaiji's face at this time, a young master who was known to dislike reading.

In other words, Shi Huaiji was really hesitant about memorizing the Analects at this moment.

The many servants in the Duke of Jiu's Mansion thought about Shi Zhongkui's methods and his status as the Sixth Yuan Gong, and suddenly felt that their young master could not compete with him.
