Chapter Twenty-Six: Marksmanship
"Yue'er came here, so she just cared about playing, running all over the mountains, where can I be like her? So it's better to come to you and talk to you. β
Cheng Qiuchan sat opposite Gu Jinxiu, with a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows, and said quietly: "Alas! I came here to hide quietly, and who knows how so many people could come? Yue'er is too, I just sued her for one, who knows where she went? Everyone who shouts knows it. β
Gu Jinxiu sneered in her heart, hiding quietly? If Xiao Jiangbei wasn't here, would you be able to come here to hide quietly? It's not that your family doesn't have a Zhuangzi here, and you will sue Wang Yue'er about this? Now come to blame her again.
Thinking like this in her heart, but thinking of what her mother said to herself, she showed a warm smile on her face, nodded and said, "Yue'er's character, what else do we not know?" That's a wild person, and you don't have to worry about her. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw my girl walk in and said softly: "Girl, Miss Cheng, Mrs. is here." β
"Mother? How did she get here? β
Gu Jinxiu and Cheng Qiuchan hurriedly stood up and came to the door, and saw Mrs. Lu coming over, and when she saw Cheng Qiuchan, she smiled and said, "Ninth girl is also here?" You left the capital and came here, aren't your parents worried? β
"There's nothing to worry about, Yue'er and I are good sisters." Cheng Qiuchan is definitely a dignified and polite lady in front of people, because the group came into the house and gossiped for a while, Cheng Qiuchan took off her coat outside, wearing only a jacket, and said with a smile: "This room is really warm like spring, much warmer than Yue'er's uncle's Zhuangzi." β
Gu Jinxiu smiled: "I said that you should take off your coat, but you still refuse, how about it?" Now the heat is so hot that the sweat comes out. You still say, don't look at who this Zhuangzi is? That's the Prince's Mansion, Uncle Yue'er is just a businessman, even if he has money, where is he willing to use more firewood and charcoal? So how can Zhuangzi be very thoughtful? If it weren't for Wang Lao's sacrificial wine, he would not even be able to touch the door here, let alone buy Zhuangzi. β
"Embroidered girl."
Mrs. Lu snorted lightly, but heard Cheng Qiuchan smile and said, "Madam, it's okay, how many years have I been friends with my third sister?" Since childhood, he has not hidden anything from each other. β
Mrs. Lu smiled: "I know that the two of you have a deep relationship. That being the case, Zhuangzi is cold over there, and there are other girls here, why don't you rest here tonight, I will talk to Aunt Xiang, I think she will not object, I haven't spoken to your mother before, what do you think? β
This mention was really mentioned in Cheng Qiuchan's heart, and it was even more unexpected, and she thanked Mrs. Lu with joy at the moment, but she didn't even feel polite.
Gu Jinxiu glanced at her mother suspiciously, but saw that she gave her a look, so she immediately understood in her heart that her mother wanted to let herself use tonight to tell Cheng Qiuchan about that plan, as for the time, if it was really too late, she would say that it was very good here, and if she wanted to stay for two more days, the Xiao family would probably not object.
The three of them talked for a while, and then they heard a noise in the distance, Gu Jinxiu's girl Yunzhi said to go out and have a look, and when she came back after a while, her face was red with excitement, and she said in a loud voice: "Mrs. and girl, go and take a look, Xiao Ergongzi has hunted a lot of prey, and now they are all unloaded in the front yard, and the people of the entire villa are alarmed."
Cheng Qiuchan, who had just said "to hide from the clean", was the first to stand up, pulled Gu Jinxiu up and said excitedly: "Is there such a bustle? Let's take a look. With that, he pulled Gu Jinxiu to the door.
Gu Jinxiu was disdainful in her heart, and originally wanted to make fun of her, but when she thought of her plan, wouldn't it be bad if she only wanted to be happy for a while and provoke the other party to be angry? So I had to endure it.
Not only were they excited, but Xinghua, who had always been introverted, was also curious when they heard this, and accompanied Gu Qiluo to the front yard with Chunyu, and said with a smile: "I have only heard of hunting and hunting, what is the prey like?" The slave and maid don't know yet. It's a good time to take a look. β
"What's so nice about the prey? I was shot with an arrow on my body, I don't know how much blood came out, and when the time comes, it will be bloody, I don't think you are afraid? Now the excitement is up. β
Gu Qiluo muttered, and came to the front yard in a moment, at this time, because several masters were there, so the servants all retreated, leaving only two stout cooks in the kitchen, waiting there to carry the prey back to the kitchen.
"The big girl is here?"
Aunt Xiang's eyes were sharp, and she was the first to see Gu Qiluo, and hurriedly greeted her, and then Mrs. Lu, Aunt Gu Jinxiu, Aunt Zhuang, Gu Lanxuan and others also greeted each other. Gu Qiluo looked at the center of the courtyard at this time, and to her surprise, there were more than a dozen rabbits and pheasants on the ground, as well as a few three-flower foxes, among which there was a white fox, and the other was three roe deer. But this is not surprising, the strange thing is that the prey is obviously dead, but there is not a single wound on their bodies, only a few traces of blood on their facial hair.
"Girl, how can there be blood?" Chunyu is a straightforward person, and after looking for a long time and not finding blood, he couldn't help but become curious, and pulled Gu Qiluo's sleeve and asked.
Gu Qiluo scratched his hair a little embarrassed, quietly glared at Chunyu, and whispered, "Shut up, don't ask if you don't understand." "She thought to herself, you ask me, I ask who's going? Isn't it that Xiao Jiangbei is also a peerless light skill, and he doesn't use arrows when he encounters prey, and directly uses Ling Bo's light skill to catch the prey, and then strangle him to death? Do you want to exaggerate that?
"I once heard my father say that the best marksman among the Tartars was Jebe, and if he shot the best fox ferret, he would be able to shoot an arrow through both eyes so as not to damage the fur, so that the animal would die instantly, and the fur would not be damaged at all. Could it be that the prey that the second son shot today is all through the eyes, so it will be so clean that it can't be done? β
The beautiful voice of the warbler's cry sounded, Gu Qiluo followed the prestige, only to see Cheng Qiuchan take a step forward slightly, with a look of disbelief and admiration, obviously it was this nine girls who had just said those words, but she didn't expect that she would be so knowledgeable, which was somewhat unexpected by Gu Qiluo.
Xiao Jiangbei obviously didn't expect that someone in the capital knew his methods, he glanced at Cheng Qiuchan with some surprise, only to see that the other party's eyes immediately drooped slightly, and his red lips curled, like a pool of spring water, it was so beautiful and pitiful.
He's just seen it, so he's going to ask my name, right? Thankfully, I was finally able to talk to him and finally let him know who I was.
Miss Cheng Jiu was moved to tears by the sudden fall of happiness, and her heart was like beating a small drum, secretly thinking about how she would reply when Xiao Jiangbei asked later? Do you want to take the opportunity to look at him in the open? What kind of smile is the most beautiful? Do you want to show a little bit of white teeth, just thinking about it, I heard the other party say in a deep voice: "That's right." β
Cheng Qiuchan was still waiting there, but she never heard the following again. She raised her head to look at Xiao Jiangbei in disbelief, but saw that the other party's gaze had already fallen on Gu Qiluo, her tightly pursed lips loosened, and she curled slightly, revealing a smile, as if to say: These are all prey specially hunted for you.
How...... Possible? How many men who have seen themselves can still hold it? Even if he can hold it, he is just pretending to be a decent gentleman, politely inquiring about his name and family history. Over the years, because of her beautiful reputation, many girls are reluctant to make handkerchiefs with themselves at all, but those princes' children come to the door to propose marriage, but because she doesn't look down on those sleeping flowers and willows, relying on the embroidered pillows of the ancestors Yu Yin and drunken gold, determined to find a big hero, so Fang waited until today to be famous and unowned. This...... Isn't this Xiao Jiangbei a man? Is he blind? Otherwise, he had obviously seen himself, why was he indifferent? He only looked at his fiancΓ©e, phew! What a fiancΓ©e, that's just a dog's tail grass in the field.
The more Cheng Qiuchan thought about it, the more she hated, she felt all kinds of grievances in her heart, and felt that it must be Xiao Jiangbei who didn't see her flower and moon appearance clearly just now, and had the heart to interject again, so she heard Aunt Xiang smile and said: "You kid, here are all ordinary prey, what if you keep your skin?" Do you need to work so hard? β
"It's not a stretch." Xiao Jiangbei waved his hand lightly, signaling the two cooks to carry their prey to the kitchen.
"Is this called effortless? I don't know what is going on in the world. Gu Jinxiu said suddenly, but Xiao Jiangbei didn't even look at her this time, so he said to Aunt Xiang: "It's cold outside, let's go inside." β
"Okay, let's all go into the house, I didn't feel it just now, but I really feel a chill at this time." After Aunt Xiang finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked Mrs. Lu to go first, Mrs. Lu naturally refused, so the two walked side by side, and the girls followed behind them, Gu Qiluo deliberately lagged behind a few steps, so Xiao Jiangbei immediately understood, caught up and whispered: "What do you have to say to the girl?" β
Gu Qiluo couldn't help but bow his head and smile, and said softly: "How dare I have any orders?" I just don't understand why you're doing such a difficult hunt? I don't think you're a show-off person. β
"Difficult?" Xiao Jiangbei repeated it with some puzzlement, and then understood, shook his head and smiled: "What is there to show off?" It's just that in the past, I practiced archery at the border pass, so I have been shooting and hunting, and in order to shoot accurately, I forcibly required myself to only shoot the eyes of animals. β
"Familiar?" Gu Qiluo suddenly realized, and when she saw Xiao Jiangbei nodding, she couldn't help but praise from the bottom of her heart: "Don't be modest, you are too familiar with your hands, I have never heard of it." β
"Are you complimenting me?" Xiao Jiangbei raised his eyebrows, and finally showed a little smug and happy on his face, other people's praise is also the wind in his ears, but the praise of his sweetheart, well, it sounds really useful, and it is not in vain that he has practiced hard for so many years.
"It's not." Gu Qiluo put away her smile, glanced at her smug fiancΓ©, then wrinkled her nose at him, walked a few steps to catch up, grabbed Gu Lanxuan who was walking behind, and threw Xiao Jiangbei alone at the back.
Xiao Jiangbei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and walked forward, but did not enter the house, but returned to his room.
