"This matter must not be done, don't mention it again. 『≤, even if you don't study, don't want to practice martial arts!" After Master Ji Er said that, he stood up, hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Ji, and left.

"The master is angry for a moment. Don't bother with him. I'll go and persuade the master now." Mrs. Ji Er stood up.

"You go." Old Mrs. Ji waved her hand and let Mrs. Ji Er leave.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang again.

"You two are talking to each other these days, just discussing this matter."

If it were before, when Master Ji Er said something that he would not study, Master Ji San would be so happy that he would jump up. However, today, Master Ji San lowered his head in depression.

Master Ji San is no longer a boy who has nothing to do in his past. He is so anxious to do something for the Ji family.

"Mom." Master Ji San begged Old Mrs. Ji.

"Don't ask me for this." Old Mrs. Ji shook her head, and she had no choice. "This thing doesn't work."

Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything, but only gave Master Ji San a look that covered me with all, so that Master Ji San would not be impatient.

"It's time for uncle to take medicine. Only by taking good care of his body as soon as possible can he talk about future events." Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji San.

"Yes, Xiaotang is right." Master Ji San immediately cheered up.

Seeing that Mr. Ji San, who usually hates medicine the most, drank all the medicine in a few sips, Old Mrs. Ji was relieved and a little puzzled.

Master Ji San is having a good time with Ji Xiaotang, but when did you listen to Ji Xiaotang like this?

Ji Xiaotang accompanied Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji San again. He thought that Mrs. Ji'er's anger should be calm, so he left Mrs. Ji'er's house and came to see Mrs. Ji'er.

"It was your uncle who begged you to help him say whatever he wanted to do not study or practice martial arts!" Before Ji Xiaotang could speak, Master Ji Er spoke first.

"Dad, aren't you calm yet?" Ji Xiaotang avoided Master Ji's question. ()

"Hmph." Master Ji Er snorted coldly. After being persuaded by Mrs. Ji Er, his anger had calmed down a lot. "Don't mention this matter again. Xiaotang, don't follow your uncle to make trouble."

It’s really not a nonsense. Practicing martial arts is certainly the wish of Master Ji San, and now he has received Ji Xiaotang’s resentment and support.

"Dad, I don't understand. Although literature is superior to martial arts and martial arts, our family's books are passed down, it is not a big deal to produce a military officer. It is better than my uncle who does nothing. Why is Dad so angry?"

Ji Xiaotang was calm and Master Ji was willing to answer Ji Xiaotang's words well.

"This is a family motto passed down from our ancestors. The descendants of the Ji family are only allowed to follow the literature and not be able to practice martial arts. Your uncle has loved to play guns and sticks since he was a child. How many times did your grandfather beat and scold him when he was there? It's not just because he hated him for not being able to learn literature, but also because he was unwilling to practice martial arts."

To put it bluntly, it is the ancestral teachings of the Ji family. The Ji family is not allowed to practice martial arts, and they cannot enter the court to be military officers.

"However, times have changed. If the predecessors leave behind, they may not necessarily accept them in full." Ji Xiaotang said.

"What is this? The rules passed down by ancestors cannot be changed." Master Ji Er said unhappy.

"It really can't be changed?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

“Can’t change.”

"Dad, I'll show you something." Ji Xiaotang carefully took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Master Ji Er.

"What is it?" Mr. Ji Er reached out to take it and asked in confusion. "This is..., your grandfather's hand-written Analects of Confucius. Where did you find it?"

"I was accidentally found in the library these two days when I was looking for books to read." Ji Xiaotang replied.

Master Ji Er held the book in his hand and felt like he had found a treasure, while slowly looking through it.

Mr. Ji not only handwritten all the Analects of Confucius, but also made detailed annotations.

"Why haven't I seen you? Your grandfather never said it."

Ji Xiaotang shouldn't have appeared this book.『≤,

No one from the Ji family revealed this book until... the day the family was destroyed, the library was burned down. Ji Xiaotang found the book that was already broken at that time in the ashes.

She found not many fragments, and it was useless to watch them at that time, but they happened to be used now.

"Maybe my grandfather has forgotten the secret of this book after copying it, or maybe... my grandfather doesn't want people to show it easily." Or maybe he doesn't want people to show it at all.

But then why should I stay? I will just destroy it.

Ji Xiaotang could only temporarily suppress this doubt. What she had to do now was to convince Master Ji Er.

"Dad, look here." Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji Er to turn the book to the end.

At the end of the whole book, Mr. Ji not only wrote annotations, but also other things.

Master Ji Er's brows couldn't help but frown, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"The ancestors of the Ji family actually have a family precept that they are not allowed to take office?"

"The grandfather's writing should not be wrong." Ji Xiaotang replied.

Although he said so, Master Ji Er also confirmed that he would not admit his father's handwriting wrongly, but he still stood up, took out a scroll of paintings from the side, and carefully compared the handwriting on the book with the inscriptions of Master Ji on the painting.

Of course, it was undoubtedly written by Mr. Ji.

Master Ji Er put down the painting and held the book in his hand, obviously confused.

After copying and annotating the entire Analects of Confucius, Mr. Ji left a passage for some reason. In this passage, Mr. Ji revealed something that Mr. Ji never knew.

The ancestors of the Ji family only allowed their descendants to study for their careers, and did not allow their descendants to become officials. Old Master Ji missed his father and said that he was very talented, but he always abides by this ancestral teaching. After only taking the exam for a juren, he refused to take the exam again. He lived in seclusion in the city and focused on teaching Old Master Ji to study.

Although Mr. Ji's father has always abide by the ancestral teachings, according to Mr. Ji's observation, the old man is not without regrets.

Learn civil and martial arts and sell goods to the imperial family. Who in the world can be free from the common people?

After his father passed away, Mr. Ji participated in the imperial examination after he was filial piety. At the beginning, Mr. Ji just wanted to go out to verify how far he studied literature, and as he went all the way to high school, he finally gave up and took the imperial examination and became an official.

"No wonder my father was very talented and was very late to participate in the imperial examination." And when he was an official, although he was loyal to his duties, he was very indifferent to promotions and other matters.

"If my grandfather had not become an official, how could the Ji family be in the present situation? My father and uncle had nowhere to display their talents." Ji Xiaotang said without missing the opportunity, "So, this ancestral teaching is not something that cannot be changed."

"You are still talking about your uncle." Master Ji Er looked up at Ji Xiaotang.

"Dad, isn't it good to give my uncle a chance? My uncle can't study, but he also has his strengths. Shouldn't the world see his uncle's glory?"

This sentence is more like what makes Master Ji San shine the lintel of the Ji family, and it is even more touching Master Ji Er's heart.

Ji Xiaotang knew Master Ji Er, so he naturally knew how to speak.

Master Ji Er pondered for a while, then waved his hand to Ji Xiaotang.

"This incident happened so suddenly, I have to think about it."

Ji Xiaotang no longer urged him. She believed that Master Ji Er would figure it out.

The next day, Master Ji Er ignored Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang.

"Your father is old-fashioned." Master Ji San complained to Ji Xiaotang.

On the third day, Master Ji Er was finally willing to see Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji San was eager to see him.

Ji Xiaotang is confident.

Master Ji Er held his forehead.

"Practicing martial arts is not easy. If you are injured, the old lady will not be able to get through. You can ask the old lady first." Master Ji Er's tone became loose.

Master Ji San immediately went to find Mrs. Ji, but in just a few words, Mrs. Ji nodded.

"If your second brother agrees, that's good. If you have no eyes, learn some fists and feet and train your body to strengthen." Old Mrs. Ji thought that Master Ji San just wanted to play, so he instructed him.

Old Mrs. Ji nodded, and Master Ji Er was helpless.

"Practicing martial arts can help strengthen your body. As for martial arts, it's not a matter of day and night." Mr. Ji Er had not made a decision on this matter yet, "I'll write another letter to discuss with my elder brother."

As long as he is willing to let him practice martial arts, Master Ji San will fulfill his wish. As for martial arts, it is still a trivial matter for him.

Master Ji San just wants to protect the whole family.

It is naturally not difficult for the Ji family to hire a martial artist. For a moment, there will be a constant stream of people who recommend themselves or come to recommend others.

After some school entrance exams, the candidate for the martial arts master was quickly decided.

Master Zeng is a direct descendant of Nan Shaolin, and is responsible for teaching Master Ji San’s fist and foot skills. Master Li was once a cavalry captain in the border army, and was responsible for teaching Master Ji San’s bow and horse. There was also a master who was responsible for teaching guns and sticks.

Master Ji San not only practiced martial arts by himself, but also selected a group of good-looking ones from his confidant family servants and followed him to practice martial arts together.

Copper coins, cicadas, Ping'an and Fugui were also taken back, and they followed Master Ji San to stance in the yard.

Ji Xiaotang did not want Master Ji San to become an official from the Martial Arts Department, she just wanted Master Ji San to train his own team of guards. She was loyal to the Ji family and could protect the safety of the Ji family in the troubled times.

Yes, in troubled times.

This is the result of the secret discussion between Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San these days. Ji Xiaotang is preparing for the future.

The role of this team of guards is not just that.

Ji Xiaotang was destined not to regret this decision. On the contrary, in many moments in the future, she was extremely grateful to have made this decision in a timely manner.

And Master Ji San...

The prodigal son will not exchange gold for the return.

Ji Xiaotang is no longer alone and helpless.
