Many people think that Mrs. Yan San is stupid, even if you really want to make a bad deal for the second room, why do you have to say everything in front of the two children in the second room, doesn't this let the family know your thoughts?

But Mrs. Yan San smiled: Secretly making it bad, that's because the capital in your hand is not enough, and you have enough capital in your hand, even if you make it bad openly, what can you do to me?

Mrs. Yan San, Xiao Song, is the niece of Mrs. Yan's mother's family, Mrs. Yan took her with her when she was not out of the cabinet, and the relationship between the aunt and nephew is not much worse than that of the mother and daughter, in this family, who dares to look down on her by half a point?

Besides, the old Song family's maiden family, a well-known wealthy businessman in Kyoto, Mrs. Yan was ten miles of red makeup when she came to the door, but Mrs. Yansan's dowry was much more than Mrs. Yan's.

With an old lady behind her, her personal wealth and wealth, and her son under her knees, Mrs. Yan San has more capital in her hands than anyone else, so what reason does she have not to be arrogant? She is still secretly doing her hands and feet, is she going to do it? What kind of inner house is deep and uncertain, she has a boat! What kind of intrigue and stabbing in the back, she has armor!

Of course, no matter how strong and arrogant people are, there are things that are not satisfactory, I am not satisfied, everyone wants to be satisfied, people with capital are so capricious, everyone is not happy, I am happy, what can you do to me?

So Mrs. Yan San doesn't mind what the two children in the second room think at all, she can do whatever she wants, and she must achieve whatever goal she wants, and besides, she still has a reason, taking concubines and giving birth to children, and spreading branches and leaves, it is all for the sake of the Yan family's incense, and the old lady Yan will not object, and the old lady Yan has no second words. So after chatting with Mrs. Yan for half a night, the next day I heard that the old lady had sent someone to find someone to buy young and beautiful girls to enter the house.

Yan Qi's sisters and brothers went to school as usual in good spirits, and Wu Yue chatted with Yan Qilu Lotus about the upcoming Qingming Festival during recess. This year's Qingming Festival is more than ten days earlier than the Shangsi Festival, it is a good time to visit the spring, ride a horse, explore the ancient and seek victory, visit the garden to enjoy the flowers, drink wine and play art, the ancients are also very good at playing.

"When the time comes, let's ride out of the city and go outside the south gate to see rape flowers and fly kites!" Wu Yue said with great interest.

"You don't get tired of watching it every year?" Lu Rong smiled, "You forgot that last year's Qingming Festival, there were all people next to the vegetable field, all of whom went to see cauliflowers, but they trampled on a lot of fields, and they went to see people, where can you see flowers?"

Yan Qi nodded beside him: "My old lady said that she won't go to the fields to see people this year." ”

"That'...... Let's ride our horses and go to a place where there are few people. Wu Yue said.

Yan Qilu shook his head together: "The family will not let it." ”

Yes, how old are they, it's good to let them ride horses, they have to be ponies, big horses can't rest assured, let alone ride horses to the distance, they are all golden and precious daughters, what should I do if I let the crutches go?

"It's so boring, when will I grow up?" Wu Yue sighed.

"You're going to be out of the cabinet when you grow up, are you looking forward to growing up?" Lu Rong laughed at her.

"Of course not!" Wu Yue hurriedly confessed, "When I grow up, I just want to get married? When I grow up, I just want to go out, gallop the rivers and lakes, and do chivalrous deeds!"

"There are ideals. "Yan Qidao.

"What about you, Xiao Qi, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Wu Yue asked Yan Qi.

"I want to go back to when I was a kid. "Yan Qidao.

The ...... chat is aborted.

The third elective class in the afternoon was handicraft, and Yan Qi struggled to break into the Baiyi Pavilion where science men gathered alone as a fat woman. As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a man wearing a butterfly-winged blue shirt and a lapis lazuli hairpin on his head walking out of the inside, looking at Yan Qiyi, and couldn't help but smile: "You just came." I'm waiting for you at the door. ”

"Are you feeling better? Yan Qi was dazzled by Cui Xi's smile and raised his hand to cover his forehead.

"I came to school two days ago, but it's inconvenient to go to the embroidery institute to find you," Cui Xi also raised his hand, and saw a white mountain tea between his hand, "I'll give it to you." ”

"You're not going to class?" Yan Qi took the camellia and pinned it to the purse hanging around his waist.

"I changed to an elective this year, and I learned crafts. Cui Xi looked at Yan Qi with a smile.

Elective courses can only be changed at the beginning of each year, once selected, it is not allowed to change other subjects in the middle of the school year, Cui Xi has been recuperating at home since the beginning of the school year, and only came to class two days ago, so he can also change the subjects of the elective courses.

"Why did you change it suddenly, wasn't it good to learn ikebana before?" Yan Qi walked with him to the classroom.

"Isn't this your subject, I'm here to be your companion. Cui Xi said, "Besides, I don't like ikebana in the first place, but it's just to pass the time for credits." ”

"Also, you are so skillful, it is just right to learn the handicraft. "Yan Qidao.

"It doesn't matter, you can learn anything, it's all about passing the time. Cui Xi said lazily.

"But you and I are not first-class, so we can't be companions. Yan Qi reminded him.

"Although I am two levels higher than you, the handicraft class is the first year of learning, of course, I have to be in the same class as you. Cui Xi raised his arms behind his head, lowered his eyes and smiled at Yan Qi walking beside him, he was two years older than Yan Qi, more than a head taller than her, looking at her like this, he could only look at the top of a brain with a single screw bun, there were no ornaments, only a green hosta carved into the style of plum branches.

There was a new student in the class, and everyone didn't care, and earnestly followed the sloppy gentleman to learn how to use the saw, and then each was given a piece of wood, and asked to use the saw to see the shape specified by the gentleman.

He also said that it was not a carpenter's job.

Yan Qi grabbed the small saw with one hand and pressed the wood on the ground with the other, Cui Xi squatted next to him and watched, Mr. patrolled over to see, and also squatted to the side, and then tilted his head and asked him, "You don't do it?"

"I can use all these tools, so there's no need to practice again. Cui Xi didn't even look at this gentleman, just stared at Yan Qi's little fat hand where he was dangerously fighting with wood.

"Hey, it's quite a big tone! Come on, come on, you make me a finished product, no matter what tools, if you're done, I'll allow you to stop doing these basic exercises!" Mr. Sloppy casually pulled out a brick from the messy wood scattered on the ground and threw it to Cui Xi, then patted his ass and got up to continue to inspect the other students' practice.

"What should you do?" Cui Xi rubbed the wood in his hand, "It's too hard, it's hard, let's change it to a soft one." ”

"Do whatever you want, can you still stump you?" Yan Qi got up and went to get him tools.

Cui Xi has a pair of extremely skillful hands, such as the translucent mirror that he gave to Yan Qi before, which he made himself, he has an extraordinary talent in making cunning things, and he also likes to ponder these things, not that he is obsessed with this aspect, he is purely to pass the time, and it happens that making these things is the most time-consuming and mind-consuming, and he can barely keep him from getting bored too much, so he is willing to invest more in this area.

From childhood to adulthood, Cui Xi made all kinds of objects by himself, which was enough to hold two large warehouses, and the tools used to make these things had long been used so well that they could not be more familiar.

It was Yan Qi's turn to squat next to him and watch, it was a very enjoyable thing to watch Cui Xi do things, just because this person had a pair of particularly good-looking hands, slender, dexterous, flexible but not losing strength, the knife and the small file saw planer in his hand were like being spelled and full of aura and rhythm, others will inevitably have bluntness, difficulty and hesitation when they use these tools, and he uses it completely like a knife cutting tofu, smooth, smooth, and in one go.

Among the sawdust, a square piece of dead wood was radiating magical vitality in Cui Xi's hands, and the students who were originally practicing sawing wood blocks next to him were attracted by his skillful and flexible knife handling techniques, and couldn't help but put down the work in their hands, and twisted their heads to look this way. The sound of "rustling" is very comfortable, accompanied by the white and slender ten fingers flying, and the wood turns over between the fingers, gradually taking on a form, from thick to thin, from raw hardening to soft and smooth, from death to life, from the body to the soul.

A wooden camellia that seems to be in full bloom appeared in Cui Xi's hand, if it weren't for its own wooden texture reminding everyone that this is just a piece of wood, I'm afraid that everyone will really be blinded by this flower, each of its petals is as thin and slippery as a real flower, as soon as the hand moves, its petals will tremble, the petals are layered, and the slight trembling seems to bloom a little, more than just now.

The crowd was amazed, some people shouted "miraculous skills", some people boasted that "Lu Ban is alive", some people said "too tired", and some people were stunned on the spot.

"Not bad. Mr. Sloppy saw it next to him, praised it, and stared at Cui Xi's face, "You don't have to stay in the junior class, just go to the senior class next door." ”

"I just want to stay in the beginner class. Cui Xi said, "Anyway, it's all taught by you, where are you staying?"

"Oh, yes, then you're still in this class. "Mr. Sloppy is not particular about it, and he is watching the lively students return to each other to continue to do their own exercises, "But you can't mess around here," he turned back and said to Cui Xi, "At the end of the year, you must hand over a new finished product that can be applied to life or the battlefield, otherwise you won't want to earn any credits for the handicraft class." ”

"Oh. Cui Xi responded disapprovingly, anyway, he was bored when he was idle.

"I'm so jealous, a genius or something. Yan Qi sawed her wood beside her, saying as she sawed.

Cui Xi laughed, took the oil paint and pen in the tool box, and colored the wooden camellia, "You are also quite a genius, you can meet a genius like me." ”

"Also, no wonder it is said that people come in groups, and we are geniuses. "Yan Qidao.

"Not really. Cui Xi said.

"Hello genius. "Yan Qi.

"Genius, you've worked hard. "Cui Xi.

Next to the classmate: (=_=||.) ）…… We don't understand the world of snake spirits.

When the bell rang at the end of class, the thin lacquer on Cui Xi's wood camellia was almost dry, and the red and white colors were suitable for light and shade, which looked the same as real flowers. Cui Xi easily put the flower on Yan Qi's bun, and took off the hairpin on her head and handed it to her.

"You can only wear it for a while, and you have to take it off immediately. Yan Qidao, the two of them walked out together.

"Oh, by the way, you've got to go to the Riding and Archery Club, right? Cui Xi has never been able to associate Yan Qi's chubby figure with the activities of horseback archery.

“…… You haven't even changed the club you joined, have you?" Yan Qi asked him.

"Silly, I can't get into the Riding Archery Club even if I change it. Cui Xi said.

Oh yes, only ten of the hundreds of freshmen have been selected to join the club, and the selection of the riding and archery club is so strict, Cui Xi's physique is not to be imagined, this person can faint when he sits upright in the room.

"But I'd like to see how you train. Cui Xi said with a smile.

"Don't do it, do you look good when you're tired like a dog?" Yan Qi glanced at the direction of Baiyaolu, "It's better to join your medicine club, the new doctor is very good, let him help you get a few health prescriptions, and first raise your body strong." ”

"I don't have to have children, what do I do when I'm so strong. Cui Xi tilted his head and looked at Yan Qi, "I said that you also reported to the medical club, why did you go to the riding and shooting club again?"

"Forced by the gentleman. "Yan Qidao.

"Oh, why did you force you?"

"Probably...... Because I'm a genius too?"

……

The training of the Mounted Archery Club has recently begun to tighten, and the first day after the Qingming Festival is the qualifier for the All-Beijing Mounted Archery Competition.

Different from the competition of Keju and polo, Keju Polo has a longer game and is more enjoyable, so the competition system takes the form of a league, that is, the home and away games are played in a round-robin game, and there are four districts in the capital: Jumang, Zhurong, Beishu, Xuanming, and each team in the region has played two home and away games, and the ranking is determined by the total points, but this is only the "regular season" of the whole season, after the regular season, the school teams belonging to the four regions are each ranked in the top four according to the points, a total of 16 teams, and then the "playoffs" In the playoffs, the playoffs will be drawn against each other, home and away will be played against each other, and half of the teams will be eliminated in each round, and the real champion of the year will be finally determined.

But the competition is short, there are not many changes, and there is more depending on the ability of the individual to compete in such a competitive event, because all the participating teams have to compete in the same event, right? The same event is played by each team, you are not annoyed that the audience is annoyed, this is definitely not good, so for example, riding archery, dancing, singing, musical instruments and other repeated competitions do not have much meaning, then another competition system is adopted, that is, the most simple and crude way of eliminating layers until the final winner is determined.

The opponents of the first round of the Splendid Academy were determined by drawing lots, and the lottery ceremony was presided over by the "Mounted Archery Association" in Beijing, whose official name was "Mounted Archery Society", and the imperial court appointed a special person to be responsible for the management and operation, aiming to carry forward the art of mounted archery and popularize it throughout the country.

The Riding Archery Competition is hosted and arranged by the Riding Archery Society, at the beginning of the semester if you want to participate in the Academy, you have to sign up, to the day of the lottery, all the colleges that approve the competition send the person in charge to the Department to participate in the lottery, every round to draw a lot, and an hour before the competition will be handed over to the list of participants sent by the association to be responsible for presiding over the competition, within an hour before the competition, it is not allowed to change the participants, unless there are special circumstances, such as all the players in the list can not participate due to emergencies, in that case, after verification, it is allowed to temporarily add new personnel to participate。

Other associations also have their own competition systems and official associations in charge of the project, and from this point of view, the promotion and development of culture and sports in the current dynasty has reached a modern height.

All in all, with the arrival of the first round of opponents that surfaced with the results of the draw, the Splendid Academy Riding and Archery Club entered a tense and exciting pre-competition preparation period.
