The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

As the others come up one by one, the one defending the ring will be defeated in just two rounds, after all, everyone has limited strength.

"The gym will record the number of times each person defends the ring, and give a reward every month to the one with the most. We're all brothers now, and we don't have much monthly salary. How about giving out silver?"

As Shao Wanqi spoke, the people around him nodded in agreement.

Everyone's family background is not bad, some are among the richest men in the capital, but their families are generally strict, and most of them only have a few taels of monthly allowance.

There are almost no people like Kang Ge'er who can make 100 taels of silver every month, but he is a spendthrift and spends all his money every month. After he has spent all the money, he can no longer buy anything else.

Unlike Sister Wei and Brother Xuan, their small treasury is already full, and they will spend this money when they go out in the future, and the public treasury will not spend any more money.

Luo Zhen made great efforts to help the brothers who came today, and most of them were from military families.

These guys are also the most active in playing. Some of them know each other and even make appointments to compete with each other.

Of course, there are also those who are not interested in these things and just like to watch from the sidelines without taking part.

One of them was Shao Wanqi’s cousin, a delicate and pretty boy who looked only five or six years old.

Shao Wanqi took him by the hand and sat at the same table with Kang Ge'er.

"Is this your brother?"

Kang Ge'er looked at the child in surprise. The child shrank back and hid behind Shao Wanqi. He had just seen how fierce this big brother was.

"Yes, my cousin."

Shao Wanqi asked him to sit in the middle, and he and Kang Ge'er sat on both sides, looking at the arena below.

Kang Ge'er placed a plate of five-blessing egg pastries in front of him.

"Eat this."

Wang Jingran sat upright, did not reach out to take it, but looked at his cousin.

It was the first time that Shao Wanqi saw this little bastard behave like this, so he patted his head.

"Eat it. Your brother Kang is not a bad person. Is he really going to eat you?"

Now Kang Ge'er has changed his clothes. Besides being a little bigger, his eyes are rounder and the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned.

My mother said that when you look at a person, you should first look at his eyes, because his eyes can best reflect his character.

Wang Jingran took a quick look and met Kang Ge'er's smiling eyes.

Those eyes were clear. He had seen many brothers and sisters, but very few had such clear and pure eyes.

Kang Ge'er was just a little curious about this child. He looked to be about the same age as Xuan Ge'er, but definitely not as cute as his cousin.

He thought that he would bring Xuan Ge'er out to play next time, as he had never seen this place before.

When everyone was tired of playing, Kang Ge'er even treated everyone to a table and booked the entire Hong Man Xuan.

Each of them was also given a tiger-patterned token made of black jade, which represented their membership in the Boying Hall.

This time, Kang Ge'er sent invitations to all the young men of status in the capital. Some declined and did not come, while some had already made enemies with him earlier and naturally did not come back, such as the Ma family and the Gou family.

The Ma family has a brother named Ma Hao, who was the one that Kang Ge had grabbed and plundered before. After taking the post and stomping on it a few times, he picked it up and looked at it. He was even planning to go and smash the place up.

When I opened it, what was that?

Arena?!

It's not what he thinks, is it?

Ma Hao shuddered, thought about it and decided to give up. Isn't this obviously asking for a beating?

Feeling clever for once, he hummed a little tune and threw the post aside.

When they woke up the next day, Ma Hao and Gou Wenbo were labeled as cowards, which made them unable to hold their heads up in front of their peers.

When they learned the specific rules, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

Even if they had gone yesterday, nothing would have happened to them, but now they have ended up being laughed at by everyone.

When Kang Ge'er found out, he smiled unkindly. He knew that the two would not come, so he came yesterday just to see how brave they were.

But it doesn’t matter, they will come sooner or later, and if they have the ability, they will never come in their entire life.

If he comes, he will definitely be there.

Kang Ge'er is about to turn eleven now and knows a little about what's going on at home.

Although her mother sometimes always told her that children should not worry about adults' affairs and just need to grow up well.

But he still felt that his grandmother was right. He was the eldest child of this generation and should shoulder the responsibilities of an older brother.

After him are cousin Wei and Xuan Ge'er, and fourth uncle will have more children in the future.

Not to mention anything else, if cousin Wei gets married in the future, only if he or Xuan Ge'er is successful, cousin Wei will live a more comfortable life.

He saw from his second aunt how important it is to have a capable family.

In the past, my second aunt rarely came home. When she came back, she would cry secretly in the grandmother's house. She would come back in a hurry and would leave after a short while.

If you stay too long, you will be called back.

Now, my second aunt comes home more often, and even my two cousins ​​smile more happily than before.

They don’t cry all the time, they are in high spirits and everyone is happy.

Kang Ge secretly thought that he not only had to be responsible for his younger brothers and sisters, but also had to take responsibility for the entire Earl's Mansion.

Today, all of these brothers came here for the sake of the uncle's family, or you could say they came here for the sake of your younger brother.

Their family was the founding duke. The emperor at that time bestowed grace upon the Duan family. The family originally inherited the title for three generations, and later it was inherited at a lower level.

He was the sixth generation, and after that his son inherited the title, and the glory of the Duan family was completely gone.

It was only a matter of time, his grandmother had told him privately.

But he also thought about reading, but the words just wouldn't enter his mind.

Grandma said that everyone has different strengths, just like Xuan Ge'er has a talent for studying and is suitable for the imperial examinations.

Cousin Wei is also very smart, but she is better at painting.

As for him, he is very strong, which is one of his strengths.

It was his grandmother who first discussed the decision to teach him martial arts. Without his mother and father knowing, she quietly told him a lot.

Thinking of the old lady in the mansion, Kang Ge'er's eyes were full of smiles.

My grandmother looks serious on the surface, but she is actually a naughty old woman in private. She comes up with many bad ideas secretly, and in the end she always has to take the blame.

But he couldn't say anything. He had to bear such a huge blame at such a young age.

Forget it, forget it. Since she’s been so nice to me, I’ll turn around and bring her some roast duck later.

Song Shengfu didn't know that this was the image of her in Kang Ge'er's mind. She was talking to Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi came here this time to resign. It will be the end of the year soon and he will not be able to continue teaching.

After the New Year, he will concentrate on preparing for next year's imperial examination, and this time he must seize the opportunity.

Song Shengfu was already prepared and asked him carefully about his preparations.
