Chapter 113 Competition
Gu Lei entered the door and thought for a while and pushed Gu Ping with his hands, "Go and tell your father about your joining the cavalry."
"Brother, I'm afraid my father will scold me."
"It's okay, I'm here."
Gu Lei patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Ping bit his lip and nodded. When he entered the room, he saw Grandpa Gu and his father talking.
"I'm back, is everything going well?"
"It's not bad, it's smooth, and it's also responsible for managing things. The second uncle didn't take much trouble."
"Should be."
"Second Uncle, your brother-in-law hasn't cleaned up once, so it's inappropriate to always clean up the mess like this, isn't there any blood in his house? You have to beat him anyway."
Gu Lei naturally turned towards his own family. Even if the second uncle had thoughts, it would not be a big mistake. Today, I went to see the shop of my father and third uncle. It is very well-behaved and not greedy. It is well-organized and profitable. It can be done in just one year. I really put my heart into this matter, and the dissatisfaction disappeared.
"Go, the 8,000 taels were scraped together, and I gave me a few antiques. I showed my dad and sent them to the warehouse. Leizi, I'm sorry. I really didn't know that your second aunt was so brave. It's a small amount of money, one or two thousand I thought she was doing it for her daughter, so I'll just fill it in with my eyes closed, who knows she..."
Second Uncle Gu also regretted it. He shouldn't have allowed his wife to act recklessly in the first place.
"Forget it, don't mention it, your brother-in-law pays close attention, dogs can't change eating shit."
"Next time, just let him go, he deserves his life, and I'm not just filling in the hole."
Second Uncle Gu's expression was so disgusted that he even felt disgusted with his wife and regretted marrying her.
"Father, brother begs for me today, let me go to Sister Yu'er to see me tomorrow, if I can pass the test, let me go to the cavalry to learn my skills."
Gu Pingping and the others stood up and took a step forward to report after they finished speaking.
"It's just you, go to the cavalry, what a joke, you don't think that you can go to the battlefield to fight for military exploits after learning a little boxing kung fu, right? It's just a daydream. It's not bad for you to give away the head."
Second Uncle Gu's words were a bit harsh, but it was also true.
Gu Ping was so trained that his face turned red, he couldn't speak, and stood there with his head bowed, not daring to answer, with his head down, a little disheartened.
"Second uncle, don't say that, Gu Ping is very hardworking."
Gu Lei had to come out to smooth things over.
"Don't worry about it, just take him to learn common affairs, and you want to go to the battlefield to gain military merits. Military merits are so easy to earn, so I went early. His roots are not as good as yours. Dad has seen it before. It's not that he won't give Chance, no chance."
It’s not that Uncle Gu doesn’t care about children. Military generals are different from civilian officials. Military generals pay attention to real skills.
"It's not a hindrance to go to learn skills, not to mention anything else, there is a chance to be a guard or something."
Gu Lei pushed the second uncle and winked at him.
"If you want to learn, you must be able to endure hardships. Keep your eyes open. Your elder sister Yu'er is extremely talented. She has played well in the capital. It is for the face of the Gu family that she can teach you. Don't be ashamed. Listen to your elder brother when you have something to do. Don't cause trouble."
Second Uncle Gu pursed his lips, rolled his eyes at his son, and finally agreed.
"Yes, I made a note."
Gu Ping raised his head excitedly, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Come to the study tomorrow. I have a Zhuangzi and a shop here. You can use it to follow your brother and learn how to raise your eyebrows and lower your eyes."
I thought to myself that this child is not easy, let the daughter-in-law suppress it to death, and never had a chance, and the opportunity in the clan was also blocked by the daughter-in-law, now it is time to teach the child, and it seems to be grown up.
"yes."
"Go ahead."
Second Uncle Gu waved his hand.
"Second Uncle, Brother Ping is quite sensible, can you teach me more?"
Second Uncle Gu has his own ideas, and his daughter-in-law's suppression might not be a sharpening stone for his son.
Gu Lei blinked, speechless.
"A knife cannot be sharpened quickly, and a jade cannot be cut into a tool."
Grandpa Gu made a point, it’s not a bad thing for a boy to be suppressed. It’s good to learn to be cautious and low-key to restrain your edge. Going out is good.
"I understand, I will take good care of Brother Ping."
"Okay, uncle trusts you. I took a few antiques from his house back to pay off the debt. I think it's okay. I haven't sold it. I'll keep it for you. I'll pay you back the rest of the money."
"Thank you second uncle, keep it for Brother Xin. My third aunt has lost the most in dowry."
"Don't worry, Brother Xin is still young, I will buy it for him slowly later, it's because our children can't wrong him."
Uncle Gu said with a smile.
After the uncle and nephew said a few words, Gu Lei left and went back to wash and rest.
Tomorrow, going to the Ye Wang to report and do a pen post style also means to learn about court affairs up close. This is the face that the Ye Wang gave to Grandpa Gu. Only Gu Lei can go up to it, and no one else can.
Gu Lei's father has a little friendship with the Night King. This face is also for the face of Grandpa Gu and his son. Naturally, it is for the eldest son and grandson. It is good that others can't get along with it.
Also asked the Night King to take Gu Lei with him, and asked him to learn how to raise his eyebrows and lower his eyes, saying that he would still use the Gu family in the future.
The next afternoon, Gu Lei took Gu Ping to Li's house.
"Yu'er, I bought something for you, come and take a look."
"What did you buy for me, Brother Ping, let's go to the racecourse in a while."
"Okay, thank you, sister Yu'er."
Gu Ping respectfully greeted the elders of the Li family one by one.
"I asked someone to make a wristband and a weight for you. This one is more convenient. It has a buckle, so it's easy to take off and put on."
Gu Lei built it in advance, according to Li Yu's weight and stature, and then he brought it back.
"Let me see."
Li Yu opened the box and saw that it was a pair of iron wrist guards, which were very heavy, and it was very convenient to buckle them. There were also two pairs of arm rings stuck on the arms, which were used to increase the load. Archery requires arm strength.
There are also sandbags buckled on the thighs and calves for extra bounce.
There is also a pair of sandbags, which are filled with iron sand. A vest is worn on the body to increase the load. After practicing all the year round, taking off the load is as light as a swallow, and the speed can be more than doubled.
"My vest is no longer good, and I don't feel it when I put it on. It's because you are thoughtful."
Li Yu happily put it on, tried it on, and found that she had the strength to press the scales, so the practice will be effective.
"I just thought yours were old, so I added some weight to you."
"Go, go to the school grounds, let me see your skills."
Li Yu patted Gu Ping on the shoulder.
"Um."
Several people went to the school grounds.
Gu Ping's archery, horseback riding, archery, swordsmanship, fists and feet are all basic skills from elementary school, and there is not much difference.
"Come on, you are young, and you are not as strong as your brothers. I will let you do two tricks, and then I will take three tricks. I will let you join the cavalry to learn your skills."
Gu Ping took a deep breath, sat on the horse and gripped the rein tightly, and rushed up as soon as he clamped the horse's belly.
Li Yu carries weights all over her body, and she also carries weights when training riding and shooting on weekdays. She has been practicing for almost ten years. Otherwise, how can she be better than her brothers? Not only by talent, but also by perseverance and hard work.
The two competed with sticks. Gu Ping was young, and when fighting hand-to-hand, he only felt a huge force coming, and almost lost the stick in his hand.
