Chapter 2 How about...father donate an official position for me?
Ye Zheng looked helpless.
'Zhuangzhuang' is his nickname.
Today, only his father, mother and second sister are still called that by the Ye family.
"Second sister." He stopped and slowly walked over.
In a flash, he noticed that Ye Ling'er's aura changed as she was slowly walking towards him.
He was quite speechless, but his second sister had already stepped forward and chopped him down swiftly with her right palm.
Among the four great masters, Ye Liuyun should be considered the most talented, at least in terms of comprehension.
He originally learned boxing and sword, but after several battles with a robot, he gave up boxing and sword and realized the unique skill of "Liuyun Sanshou".
Da Pi Guan is a castrated version of Liu Yun San Shou, but it is actually a prerequisite for practicing Liu Yun San Shou.
Different from Liuyun Sanshou which is both hard and soft, Dapiguan is more like the northern martial arts that Ye Zheng knows, which is open and closed, and stretches freely.
However, the northern style martial arts movements that he knew were mostly performed with the legs, while the Da Pi Guan punching techniques were mostly performed with the hands, which was very similar to the Pi Gua Quan that he often saw in major martial arts competitions.
In the original world, when he was young, he laughed at this kind of martial arts routine as "seemingly tough but flashy but not practical". As a result, his grandfather took him to an old friend's house and taught him a lesson by a young man of the same generation.
Afterwards, he pestered the other party for advice, but each time the other party refused on the grounds that "it's too easy to make a mistake and cause serious injury". In the end, he only learned a set of grappling techniques whose name he didn't know but were very practical.
Later, the two of them interacted more frequently, and the man explained that the difficulty in controlling the strength and the degree of damage was one reason, and another reason was that he had not learned it since he was a child and had no talent.
In that person's words, is there any meaning in practicing hard to master the moves and muscles? Yes! But in martial arts, talent is still the key. Those with strong bodies and strong muscles can hit without any moves or routines. Li Shuwen even slapped his opponent back and forth. What is a slap? It's a slap on the face! Why are others so good at slapping? Because they are strong.
Now, Ye Zheng could probably understand that person's admiration and envy for those with extraordinary talents.
Three years ago, Ye Ling'er could barely fight him to a draw thanks to the advantage of her true Qi.
Two years ago, she sought out Ye Zheng for a sparring match, but she often ended up with pain in her palms and arms. It wasn't that Ye Zheng was deliberately sparring with her, but it was really because her palms and arms landed on Ye Zheng's shoulders, arms and hands, which was painful.
This year, Ye Zheng picked up the original set of grappling techniques and practiced them from time to time. He became more proficient in dealing with the second sister.
He reached out his hand, entered from the side, and grasped the knuckles of his second sister Ye Ling'er from above. Following the force of her chopping, he pressed down while folding her palm upwards.
There's no special name for the move, it's obviously an attack on the wrist.
Ye Zheng didn't dare to use too much strength, so it wasn't difficult for Ye Ling'er to break free.
There was back and forth, and the two seemed to be sparring with each other, but in fact, Ye Zheng was practicing with them.
The Qi and true Qi collide and wrap up the petals.
After dozens of moves, Ye Ling'er felt severe pain on the outside of her palm, and when she stopped, she was actually trembling slightly.
"No more fighting." She snorted, very angry.
"I'll treat my second sister to Sushan (smoothie with fruit), Liangjiang (iced rice juice), and Keshui (ancient version of fruit tea)." Ye Zheng leaned over with a smile.
Looking at her brother's outstanding face and hearing his slightly flattering tone, Ye Ling'er's anger immediately disappeared. She reached out and pinched her brother's smooth cheek, and her mood improved.
"I can't eat it today. Let's do it another day."
"Which family is having a banquet?"
"Old Lady Qin is celebrating her birthday."
"Qin family?" Ye Zheng frowned slightly.
The three most prestigious and powerful families in Qing Kingdom are the Ye family, the Fan family, and the Qin family, with the Qin family being the most powerful.
Because of a case that happened sixteen years ago, Uncle Ye Liuyun could only say some polite words to Qin Ye when they met. As a result, the Ye family and the Qin family rarely interacted with each other.
Children of large families understand these things early. Ye Linger knew why her brother frowned and explained, "This is a note sent to father by General Qin himself."
"Si Nanbo is going too."
She added.
"Oh~" Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows, his tone slightly excited, "Then we have to go and see the excitement."
Compared with the Ye family and the Qin family, the relationship between Sinanbo's Fan family and the Qin family is even worse.
"Eh~, you look so shameless but have such a dark heart." "Second sister, how can you say that to me? I'm going to tell father."
"If you dare tell father, I will come to bother you every day."
"I will also inform my father of this threat."
"Ye Zhuangzhuang you..."
……
When the brother and sister went back to their respective courtyards to bathe and change clothes, they came to the front yard and saw their father Ye Chong and mother Ye Cui were already in the flower hall.
Ye Zhong had a resolute expression on his face, and his luxurious robes set off his tall and straight figure, making his aura even more solemn.
Ye Cui is already a mother of three children. Her face and figure are still beautiful, and her eyes are full of love as she looks at Ye Zheng and Ye Ling'er.
"Father, mother."
The two men hurried forward and saluted respectfully.
Seeing Ye Ling'er's expression, Ye Chong concluded that his daughter must have been humiliated by his son again, and immediately glared at Ye Zheng.
For a father, who has two sons and only one daughter, the answer to which one he should love and which one he should not love is obvious.
"Hey." Ye Cui, the mother, stood in front of Ye Zheng with a smile, and blocked her husband's sight by fixing her son's collar. At an angle where her husband couldn't see, she gently tapped Ye Zheng's forehead, "You are very naughty."
In return, Ye Zheng pretended to smile foolishly, which made Ye Ling'er roll her eyes at the sight.
That’s what family ecology is like.
After chatting for a while and looking at the sun, it was not a good time to delay any longer, so Ye Zhong took his wife and son into the carriage.
"Zheng'er, I never asked you before, but now that you have tied your hair, what are your ambitions?"
Ye Zheng really didn't expect this "sneak attack" from his father.
This...isn't what he expressed clear enough?
What do you want to do?
In one word, rich and idle!
He first looked at his second sister Ye Ling'er, who seemed to be waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and raised her eyebrows at him provocatively.
He looked at his mother again, and he sensed something wrong in her eyes.
Ye Zheng had some guesses, glanced at his father, and said half tentatively and half deliberately, "Father, my second sister turned 15 last year. Isn't it time for her to date someone?"
The carriage was quiet for a few moments, and then the first to burst out was the 'victim' Ye Ling'er, "Ye Zhuangzhuang you..."
Her cheeks turned slightly red, she felt angry and embarrassed, and glared at her brother fiercely.
How could she not know that her brother was plotting to divert the trouble to others? But how could she...
Ye Zhong and Ye Cui looked at each other, and each saw the amazement in the other's eyes.
"How can you tease your second sister about this?" Ye Cui said with a stern face.
Ye Chong shook his head, feeling helpless towards his wife and also impressed by his youngest son's thoughtfulness.
"Does your second sister's marriage need your concern?" Compared with Ye Cuishi, his tone was much more serious. "Don't talk about other things. Let me ask you, why are you talking about your second sister?"
"snort."
Seeing her parents venting their anger for her, Ye Ling'er held her chin high. If she were in the online novel "The Crooked-Mouth Dragon King", she would be a rich and powerful villain lady with a low IQ, the kind who specializes in making sarcastic remarks and being slapped in the face by the protagonist.
Ye Zheng sighed, life was not easy for the young masters of wealthy families in ancient times.
How old is he...well, he means age.
Seeing what his father meant, he had to give him an answer today. He smiled slyly and said, "How about...father donate an official position for me?"
"Tsk." Ye Ling'er couldn't help it.
Ye Cui also rolled her eyes at her youngest son.
Are you trying to piss off your father on purpose?
Ye Zhong's face darkened. He looked at the boy calmly and said, "I heard that you have made great progress in martial arts recently. Wait for me in the martial arts hall tomorrow."
