"Then I wonder why my cousin came to me on purpose?"

"Actually, I came here today because of my aunt's request to tell you about the Qiao family's flower viewing meeting tomorrow."

"Huh? What happened to the cherry blossom viewing festival? Shen Zhuru couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she was very surprised that Mu Liu Xinyue would let Mu Jinyang tell her about it.

Shouldn't she personally mention this kind of thing, or find a woman to talk about it?

Why didn't anyone look for it, but found a big man like Mu Jinyang to tell her about it.

"I'm afraid my brother and sister are very puzzled why my aunt didn't find a woman or come to talk to you herself, but let me briefly explain this matter to you."

Shen Zhuru nodded, not denying that she really thought so in her heart.

"Actually, it's no wonder that Auntie, because if it were in previous years, Auntie would have told her personally, but this year is a little different."

"Huh? What's the difference? Shen Zhuru couldn't help but be curious.

The aunt said that this year is the birthday of the Queen Mother, although it has not yet been determined who is qualified to attend the birthday banquet, but as long as the officials in the court and the central government are above the fifth grade, they are all qualified to go, but the official position is low and cannot bring too many family members to go. It is also a coincidence that the son of Concubine Mei, the nineteenth prince when he was young, did not love power but loved to travel around the world and appreciate exotic customs. This walk has been going for more than 20 years. ”

And this nineteenth prince is also an interesting person, he actually married a native grassland girl in the grassland of the extreme north of the Twilight Cloud Country and gave birth to a daughter. And Concubine Mei and the Queen Mother are good sisters, after the death of Concubine Mei, these nineteen princes can be regarded as the children of the Queen Mother, and their feelings are naturally self-evident. This time, the queen mother's seventieth birthday, the daughter of the seventeenth prince, can be regarded as the little princess of our Yurui country, but she wants to celebrate her father's birthday. ”

"Huh? What do you think this has to do with our cherry blossom viewing event? "The more Shen Zhuru listens, the more wrong it becomes, is this topic far away?

Are you talking about the hanami festival?

How it sounds like it's gossiping about the smell of old things decades ago.

"Of course it is. Because this little princess of the grassland happened to pass through our Qiyang County, she just arrived this morning, and she lives in the post station at the moment, in order to please this little princess of the grassland, the county princess told her that there will be a flower viewing meeting held by Qiao's family tomorrow, and there will be many young ladies of the same age gathered together to learn from each other. As soon as the little princess heard about the exchange, she was very happy and threatened to participate, and directly understood the exchange of martial arts. ”

Mu Jinyang said that at this point, Shen Zhuru understood why he had to say so much.

The children who grew up on the grassland still have some understanding for Shen Zhuru.

Those are all children on horseback, but they are not like those young ladies raised in the boudoir, who are weak and can't help the wind.

The county magistrate originally had good intentions and asked her to join in the fun, but the other party misunderstood, so there would be Mu Jinyang's previous foreshadowing rhetoric.

"Since this little princess has misunderstood, why didn't the county master make it clear, could he just let the misunderstanding continue?"

"Actually, it's no wonder that the county master, but this little boy is also an impatient person, so he sent the county master away after hearing it. No, the county master had to tell everyone one by one that they would go to Qiao's courtyard tomorrow to participate in the flower viewing conference, and informed them about the existence of this little princess. If not, how could an ordinary family like me know that a princess came to Qiyang County and lived in the county seat? ”

"Listen to you, it's our luck."

"That's true. However, it is difficult to say whether it will be good luck or bad luck. If it's the others, it's easy to say, it's just tomorrow's competition, it's all the content of the little princess, who is not afraid of the text, but who is afraid of the martial arts. After all, Qiyang County is not the capital, and the families here are not as good as those real ladies in the capital, not only must they be able to write poetry and songs, but even if they are riding and archery martial arts, they will know more or less one or two, not to be proficient, but to understand a little. Auntie asked me to come to you, in addition to telling you this, and wanted me to give you a little training in riding and archery. It is not necessary to communicate, it is enough to pretend. ”

Shen Zhuru glared at Mu Jinyang.

"Cousin, you're not kidding. My mother-in-law actually asked you to teach me these things? There is a difference between you and me, I am your brother-in-law, it is not good to let you enter this Ronghua Garden, and I actually let you teach me this, this, if this is passed on, will I have to be criticized for not abiding by women's morals? Don't let people drown in spit. ”

Mu Liu Xinyue hated her so much, and directly wanted to use Mu Jinyang to ruin her superficial reputation, even if she didn't care at all, she couldn't resist the influence of the simplicity of the people.

Mu Jinyang was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled.

"My brother and sister misunderstood, although I was asked to guide, but I was not the one to teach. Instead, a friend I know taught my younger siblings about this. She's a woman, but she's a little wild since she was a child, like a tomboy, she's good at these things, I'm asking her to teach you, I'm just watching from the side. ”

"Well, that friend you were talking about, what can she teach me?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking.

"Horseback riding isn't a problem for you, but you certainly can't when it comes to archery. My friend is a woman, but she has some talent in archery. It is enough not to ask for advice to you to hit every shot, just to not miss the target. At least it is enough for you to stand out from so many young ladies. ”

Archery?

Shen Zhuru raised her eyebrows slightly.

That's a coincidence.

In her previous life, she studied archery.

It's just that compared to the modern compound bow and recurve bow, the ancient bow is just a simple bow and does not have so many auxiliary functions.

But this does not mean that she can't use it, but in terms of accuracy, it will not be as convenient as modern bows, although it can't do ten rings, five or six rings are absolutely fine.

Unexpectedly, this Mu Jinyang actually proposed to let her learn this.

But......

"Cousin, you see it's not too early, I'm going to go to Qiao's courtyard early tomorrow morning, is it too late?" Shen Zhuru raised her eyes and looked at the sky, carefully watching Mu Jinyang's reaction.

"It's in time, and that friend will rush to Mufu around this time." As soon as Mu Jinyang's words fell, he heard a woman's shout.

"Mu Jinyang, where are you? I'm coming. ”

When Mu Jinyang heard this voice, he couldn't help but show an embarrassed look on his face.

"This girl who shouted is the friend you mentioned?"

"Yes. This person should have been taken to the martial arts training ground of the nursing home. I've already asked people to prepare targets and bows and arrows over there, and the idlers have been driven away, so how about my brother and sister go with me? ”

"Okay." Shen Zhuru got up as she spoke, and Mu Fenghua had already gone downstairs, running over in a hurry, holding Shen Zhuru's hand.

"Lady, where are you going, I will go too."

Shen Zhuru couldn't help but look at Mu Jinyang.

"It's okay to go together, you can avoid some gossip if you have a cousin here."

Since Mu Jinyang said this, Shen Zhuru naturally didn't say much, so he went to the martial arts training ground together.

Stepping into the gate of the martial arts training ground, he saw an arrow feather flying towards this side with a loud sound, which came suddenly, which really frightened Shen Zhuru.

Mu Jinyang staggered, his hands flew like flowers, and he easily took the arrow feather that was shot, and his face sank suddenly.

"Bai Xiaoyue, who told you to shoot people with arrows? What if someone is hurt? For the first time, I saw Mu Jinyang tearing off his usual gentle expression, and angrily scolded the beautiful woman standing on the high platform opposite her, holding a bow in her hand.

Goose egg face, willow eyebrows, Qiong nose phoenix eyes, the complexion is bronzed because of the long time in the sun, the simple bun tied up high, and the turquoise short fight looks neat.

It stands to reason that with this Bai Xiaoyue's appearance, she should be a graceful-looking woman, but now this outfit, as well as the wild aura exuded from her body, completely destroyed her grace as a woman, just as Mu Jinyang said that she was a tomboy.

"Mu Jinyang, you asked me to come over to help you teach people, but let me wait for you, shouldn't I lose my temper a little? Besides, the arrow feathers I use are not arrows, at most it hurts a little on the body, and it won't hurt anyone, why are you shouting at me so loudly. Bai Xiaoyue replied very unhappily, and she clearly felt a wave of hostility in her gaze that swept over Shen Zhuru's body.

Showing hostility towards her?

Shen Zhuru couldn't help but look at the relationship between Bai Xiaoyue and Mu Jinyang, and obviously felt that the way the two got along was a little abnormal.

It feels like a falling flower, a love and flowing water, an unintentional taste.

This falling flower is undoubtedly this Bai Xiaoyue girl, and the flowing water is naturally Mu Jinyang.

It's just that Bai Xiaoyue is like a girl who is not very good at expressing herself, she obviously cares about liking it, but for some reason, she has never opened her mouth to Mu Jinyang at all.

If it weren't for the hostility in her previous glance that was captured by Shen Zhuru, I'm afraid she would really think that Mu Jinyang had invited a young lady with a big temper to make her angry, not to teach her sincerely.

"Forget it. It's not right for me to do this. Let me first introduce you to the person you will teach today. This is Shen Zhuru, the young lady of the Mu family, and this is my cousin Mu Fenghua. ”

Bai Xiaoyue only noticed the existence of Mu Fenghua standing behind Shen Zhuru at this moment.

I couldn't help but praise in my heart 'such a handsome man'.

However, looking at the silly expression on Mu Fenghua's face, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, but he didn't show his obsession because of Mu Fenghua's appearance, this is still one of the very few women Shen Zhuru has seen in the past few days who can be so calm when she sees Mu Fenghua.

"I don't care who she is. If it weren't for the fact that we had been friends for many years, I wouldn't have come when I was called, let alone taught others. Is Shen Zhuru right? Since you want to learn archery, why don't you hurry over and waste some time there? My time is also precious. Bai Xiaoyue opened her mouth unceremoniously, her tone arrogant.

"Brother and sister, please don't be surprised, Xiaoyue is such a character, and she didn't mean to target her."

"It doesn't matter. And she was right, since I was here to learn, I can't make the person who teaches wait for a long time. However, is my outfit suitable for practice? Shen Zhuru straightened her arms and looked at the skirt on this body, even if it was not heavy, it was somewhat cumbersome and easy to hook things.

"No problem, it's just that archery is not horseback riding, so it's not a big problem." Mu Jinyang replied with a light smile.

"That's good."

"Why are you waiting, don't you hurry up, do you still want to learn?" Bai Xiaoyue shouted impatiently, the more she looked at Mu Jinyang's gentle smile at Shen Zhuru, the more angry she became.

This guy smiled so gently except when he begged her for something, he had never treated her like this on weekdays, what did this Shen Zhuru have to treat her like this?

She had to take a good look at the reason.

Shen Zhuru went up to the high platform, and Mu Fenghua was pulled by Mu Jinyang to the other end to sit and watch the two practice.

After getting on the high platform, Bai Xiaoyue circled around Shen Zhuru, and directly took a slender rope to tie Shen Zhuru's wide sleeves directly behind her back, so as not to get in the way, so as not to get in the way, before she looked at her carefully.

The appearance is generally not worth mentioning at all, and the figure is not bad, but Mu Jinyang is not such a superficial person.

Shen Zhuru was a little laughable when she was looked at by Bai Xiaoyue's scrutinizing gaze.

"Miss Xiaoyue, can you start?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking.

"You try the bow above the platform over there, from left to right, each bow has a different weight, and the bow strength is also different, you see that your strength is suitable for pulling that bow, and you can take which." Bai Xiaoyue stretched out her hand and lined up the bows that had been prepared a long time ago, and let her try them one by one.

Shen Zhuru picked it up and tried to pull the bowstring before putting it down, and finally chose a bow with less bow force and easy to pull up for his own practice.

There are five strong bows in this row of eight bows that are more than one stone.

With Shen Zhuru's body, he naturally can't pull away a stone bow, even if he barely pulls it out, he doesn't need to learn.

This novice bow in her hand is best for her.

After seeing Shen Zhuru choose a bow, Bai Xiaoyue's face showed a hint of surprise, unexpectedly Shen Zhuru would not force a stronger bow, and chose a bow that was the most suitable for a novice like her to learn among so many bows.

"Once you've chosen your bow, let's learn how to shoot an arrow. First of all, before drawing the bow, put on the wrench (in ancient times, it was called '韘'shè) so as not to hurt your hand. Bai Xiaoyue handed Shen Zhuru a wrench, put her on the thumb of her right hand, and began to instruct her on how to shoot arrows.

Although this Bai Xiaoyue was a little hostile to Shen Zhuru because of Mu Jinyang, when teaching, she was not sloppy at all, but taught her very seriously how to use the bow and arrow in her hand to shoot at distant targets.

Shen Zhuru, who already had this archery foundation, after listening to Bai Xiaoyue's explanation, adjusted the angle again and again as he slowly became familiar with the bow and arrow in his hand, from the initial miss, to the position at the edge of the target at this moment, slowly approaching the center point little by little, and even Bai Xiaoyue couldn't help but be surprised by the speed of learning.
