Chapter 009: Awesome
・
Zhen Baolu didn't think too much about it, after all, she still understood the principle of step-by-step, so she quietly followed her sister and stood beside the two old ladies.
That old lady Xue came from the end, and seeing that the little girl was well-behaved, she naturally praised her face a few words, which made Zhen Baolu feel a lot more comfortable.
After that, Zhen Baolu saw a lively and cheerful little girl coming in outside. The little girl was born with a round face, wore a pink gown, and was about the same age as her. Listening to her sister's title, she knew that this was Xue Yifang, the only girl in the Changfang of the Anguo Mansion.
Xue Yifang was one year older than her, and Zhen Baolu called her cousin.
Xue Yifang is a lively and lovely person, there are few girls in Anguo Mansion, and Xue Yifang is the most pleasing to Mrs. Xue on weekdays. At this moment, Xue Yifang looked at the round and petite little cousin beside Zhen Baoqiong, thinking that it seemed to be a little different from the rumors, and immediately smiled: "Cousin Lu is really good-looking, just like the little fairy under the seat of the Queen Mother." ”
Old Madam Xue laughed, reached out and pinched Xue Yifang's cheek, and said, "You are the best at talking." Although it was chattering, the tone was full of doting.
Xue Yifang coquettishly muttered.
Zhen Baolu secretly said No wonder this Xue Yifang can please the elders, she is cute, loves to laugh, and has a sweet mouth, not to mention the elders, she likes it too. Although she didn't have much friendship with Xue Yifang in her previous life, she remembered that she was married well.
The young girl can quickly get acquainted, but now that there are elders present, Xue Yifang, who has always been lively, didn't dare to say too much, so she only made do with her face, and whispered to Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu: "Cousin Qiong, Cousin Lu, when I came over, I saw the second brother competing in the yard and throwing pots, surrounded by a lot of people, but it's exciting, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”
Old Mrs. Xue has a good ear, and before Zhen Baoqiong could speak, she said: "It's okay if you like to play and make trouble, but don't spoil your cousin and cousin." ”
Xue Yifang pouted in dissatisfaction, saying that she didn't have it.
Mrs. Xue took her granddaughter and compromised: "Okay, it's boring for you little girls to accompany the old man, let's go out and play." "Treating my granddaughter outside is so indulgent, which shows that I am pampered on weekdays.
And Mrs. Zhen also smiled and agreed.
Xue Yifang smiled and nodded, and then went to the courtyard with Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu to watch the excitement.
As soon as he got out of the front hall, Xue Yifang had no worries, chattering like a little sparrow, and said, "I see that the second brother likes to throw pots the most, and I think I will definitely be able to come out on top." ”
The second brother in Xue Yifang's mouth is Xue Tan, the second son of the Changfang of the Anguo Mansion.
Zhen Baolu knew that there was a reason why Xue Yifang was so confident, after all, this Xue Tan was indeed excellent.
When the three little girls walked to the yard where the pot was throwing, they saw a group of well-dressed young men throwing pots.
Da Zhou doesn't have too many constraints on women, and now the three little girls come to watch the pitcher accompanied by the maid, which is naturally not a matter of going out of the cabinet, even if they want to compete together, there is no problem. But it's nothing for the girl in the boudoir to play in private, and if she wants to compare with the man, it is to bring humiliation on herself - this kind of competition, where is the girl's opponent of the man?
Zhen Baolu saw that Xu Jinxin and Xu Xiuxin, two sisters, were also there, and immediately thought of something, looked at the crowd, and really saw that Xu Chenglang was also there.
Yes, Xu Chenglang is not only a noble son who is as gentle as jade, but also very good at pitching pots.
He had even instructed her privately.
Zhen Baolu didn't want to look at Xu Chenglang, so she staggered her eyes slightly, and saw the brocade-robed young man beside Xu Chenglang.
Is that......
The one who picked the begonia flowers for her!
At this time, Zhen Baolu was a little stunned.
Seeing the three little girls on the side, Xue Tan, who happened to finish the vote, came over. When Xue Yifang saw her brother, she raised her little face very happily and asked, "Second brother, how is it?" ”
Xue Tan was born tall and handsome, quite similar to Xu Chenglang's temperament, but his temperament seemed to be more cheerful than Xu Chenglang, and he looked at his sister dotingly and said, "Guess." ”
Xue Yifang pouted to express dissatisfaction, and Xue Tan told his sister about it.
After the first few rounds of competition, there are only five people left, Xue Tan is one of them, and Xu Chenglang from the Changning Marquis Mansion......
Hearing the eldest brother, Xue Yifang's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "The eldest brother actually plays." ”
Xue Tan nodded, glanced at his half-brother who was standing not far away, and saw that he was silent, and he was the most unsociable on weekdays, but now he was just a polite invitation, knowing that he should not join, but he didn't expect him to nod, and what was even more unexpected was that he ......
"Big brother not only can play, but he is also very powerful." Xue Tan said with a smile.
Even Zhen Baoqiong, who was originally quiet, was a little surprised, and said, "The eldest cousin is deeply hidden. ”
The rest of the people have all voted, and there are only three people left, Xue Rang and Xue Tan of the Anguo Mansion, and Xu Chenglang, the son of the Changning Marquis Mansion.
Xue Tan raised his hand and pinched Xue Yifang's cheek, and then said to the two cousins very politely, "I'm over." ”
The game became more and more exciting, and the onlookers also stood together and discussed, guessing who would win among the three. Most of them support Xue Tan and Xu Chenglang, and Xu Chenglang's voice is slightly higher than Xue Tan's.
And Zhen Baolu saw the tall young man standing beside Xue Tan and Xu Chenglang, and naturally knew that this was Xue Rang, the eldest prince of the Anguo Mansion.
It turned out that he was Xue Rang.
Xue Yifang said excitedly: "Cousin Qiong, Cousin Lu, who do you think will win?" ”
Zhen Baoqiong shook her head and smiled slightly: "I don't understand." ”
Xue Yifang asked Zhen Baolu.
Zhen Baolu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the three teenagers who were competing, which was comparable to Xu Chenglang's eyes looking at him. If it was before, she would definitely think that Xu Chenglang would win without hesitation, but now......
Xu Xiuxin, who was on the side, heard it, turned her head and smiled: "Cousin Lu likes to follow my brother the most on weekdays, and this time I naturally think that my brother will win, don't you?" Xu Xiuxin still remembered the unhappiness of Fang Cai, but now she is a guest after all, so she obediently listens to her mother's words, and she is not the same as Zhen Baolu.
Zhen Baolu glanced at Xu Xiuxin lightly, ignored her at all, and only smiled at Xue Yifang and said, "I think the two Cousins Xue are very powerful." ”
Xue Yifang straightened her back and said proudly: "Hmm." "As a sister, of course, I also hope that others will be optimistic about my brother. In this way, Xue Yifang likes this extraordinarily beautiful little cousin more and more.
Xu Xiuxin saw that Zhen Baolu ignored herself, so she snorted lightly in anger, and heard her say that she was optimistic about the two of the Xue family, so she muttered in a low voice: "Duplicity." Xu Xiuxin felt that Zhen Baolu must have said this in order to contradict herself.
After that, I will continue to watch the competition of the remaining three teenagers.
The more you get to the end, the more difficult this game is, the pot has been placed far away, and the spout is thin and narrow, so far away, it is not easy to throw one, but this time it is necessary to enter all five. Although Xue Tan is a variety of masters, he is still quite under pressure in the face of this competition, seeing that his first three are invested steadily, but the more he goes to the back, the more feather arrows in this pot, and if he wants to throw it again, the difficulty is naturally higher.
The first three teams all took turns, and by the time of the fourth team, Xue Tan missed, and only Xue Rang and Xu Chenglang were left in the game.
Xue Yifang didn't feel sad because of her second brother's mistake, she just looked at the usually introverted eldest brother, and said worriedly to Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu: "I don't know if the eldest brother can win against Xu Gongzi." ”
When Zhen Baolu heard this, she looked at Xue Rang beside Xu Chenglang.
Seeing that his handsome face is as usual, there is a maturity and stability that does not match his age, and he is really powerful, every time he is a steady investment, I still have reservations about this strength. Although she will stay away from Xu Chenglang in this life, out of selfishness, she really wants Xu Chenglang to win, but fortunately, Xu Chenglang is on a par with him.
For a while, Zhen Baolu also became nervous.
It's just that in this round, Xue Rang and Xu Chenglang both threw five feather arrows into the pot, regardless of victory or defeat.
But in the men's competition, how can there be an equal score?
Next, naturally, we had to try again.
This time, not only did he move the distance of the pot farther away, but he also blindfolded the two of them with a strip of cloth.
“…… If you can't see it, how can you vote in? Zhen Baolu listened to Xue Yifang beside her.
Listening to Xue Yifang's words, Zhen Baolu smiled.
She knew it could. At least, she knew that her cousin Xu was okay, as for the eldest cousin of the Xue family......
In this game, Xu Chenglang must have won.
According to the original order, this time Xu Chenglang also voted first.
Seeing Xu Chenglang blindfold his eyes with a strip of cloth, he then stood at the marking place, pondered for a moment with an arrow, and then threw it out of his hand-
"Boom!"
The feather arrow is steadily lowered into the spout.
"Good!"
There was a burst of cheers around.
It is difficult to throw a pot with his eyes, but although Xu Chenglang is a young man, he is also a little famous in the aristocratic circle, and it is not too surprising to see him so good now. On the contrary, it was Xue Rang, after Xu Chenglang, who also threw the feather arrow blindfolded.
At this time, Zhen Baolu had to look at the eldest cousin of the Xue family again.
According to what her sister mentioned before, this eldest cousin of the Xue family is only fourteen, only one year older than Xu Chenglang, but this son ...... Xu Chenglang is also tall among teenagers of the same age, and now the eldest cousin of the Xue family is standing in front of Xu Chenglang, obviously comparing Xu Chenglang, even this appearance is much better than Xu Chenglang......
But why wouldn't such a man want to go to martial arts?
Zhen Baolu took a look, her cousin of the Xue family had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and her posture was straight, looking tall and thin, but she didn't look like that kind of rough and reckless man.
But......
After all, Zhen Baolu is a person who has come back to life, and understands that although this Xue Rang is born good-looking now, after a few years, he may be disabled...... In this way, Zhen Baolu felt that she had never heard of Xue Rang's name much when she grew up in her previous life, perhaps for this reason.
When Xu Chenglang put the last team into the mouth, the outcome has obviously been decided.
Even if Xue Rang also threw the last arrow into it, according to the rules, Xu Chenglang won. That's the benefit of investing first.
Zhen Baolu looked at the blue-robed young man, and saw that his eyebrows were faint, as if he didn't care much.
Somehow, Zhen Baolu felt sorry for him.
After all, his strength is not inferior to Xu Chenglang, but he is just a little bit short of timing.
Although the outcome has been decided, Xue Rang still has to throw this last arrow.
But I saw this blindfolded young man, raised his hand to throw the feather arrow, the feather arrow was thrown into the mouth of the pot, and the sound of "dong" was heard, and then another feather arrow bounced out of the pot.
The tip of the feathered arrow that is bounced out is green.
Xue Yifang was the first to react in a group of little girls, and exclaimed: "Big brother is amazing! ”
Xue Tan, who lost the game, couldn't help but look at his eldest brother with a smile: "Okay! ”
Yes, this game turned out to be won by Xue Rang.
The top of the feather arrows of the two pitchers is distinguished by color, Xue Rang is blue, Xu Chenglang is green, and although Xu Chenglang is all five inputs, but when Xue Rang put the fifth into the pot, he bounced out one of Xu Chenglang's arrows, and now there are nine arrows inserted in the mouth of the pot, five blue and four green, who wins and who loses, at a glance.
Xu Chenglang is a humble gentleman, he doesn't pay attention to victory or defeat, most of the time he retains his strength and will not be too sharp. It's just that the little cousin was angry with him and ignored him before, and when he saw her coming over at this time, he naturally wanted to win and make her happy, so he did his best.
And this Xue Rang, he didn't fight, but in the process of throwing, he could clearly feel the retention of his strength...... Such a strong opponent, why didn't he find out before?
Xu Chenglang smiled at Xue Rang and said, "Xue Gongzi is really powerful, admire it again." ”
Xue Rang glanced at him, as if he had thought of something, and his eyebrows showed a little alienation, and said, "Accept." ”
Xu Chenglang's heart is as fine as dust, he naturally knows how to observe words and feelings, but the inexplicable hostility of the other party at the moment makes him a little confused, he only smiled slightly, and then frowned thoughtfully.
After talking to Xu Chenglang, Xue Rang saw Xue Tan and Xue Yifang, two brothers and sisters, coming over. followed by Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu, two sisters.
Xue Yifang didn't dare to get close to this eldest brother on weekdays, but now she really admires him, and hurriedly said: "The eldest brother is so powerful, even more powerful than the second brother." She rejoiced as if she were the one who had won.
Xue Yifang's face was full of admiration, and even the docile Zhen Baoqiong was full of admiration.
But what about her?
Xue Rang slowly raised his eyes and glanced at the little girl with a childish face combed with a budding bun, and saw her standing quietly beside her sister, without any excitement or smile on her round and fair little face.
Xue Rang held the lottery won from Xu Chenglang in his hand, and he couldn't be clearer in his heart.
Today he won the cousin Xu she missed, she was afraid that she would be unhappy.
