Chapter 8 A Friend Comes from Far Away
Is this poetry? Is there such a poem? Chen Le looked at Lu Xiukong's fan and was suspicious, is it really there? It seems that limerick poetry is like this!
There are not many things about the poetry of this world in the memory he inherited, originally he thought that Chen Qingzhi didn't care about these things, but now that he analyzes, it seems that the poems of this world are really not good!
"What do you want to bet on?" When the young man saw Chen Le staring at his senior brother, a wave of anger rose in his heart, the senior brother is too good-looking, even more beautiful than those women who have captivated the country and the city, if a woman looks at him like this, it would be fine, but there are still some men who do not know how to be polite, righteous and shameful, and also look at the senior brother with that kind of strange gaze, is it unbearable!
"Bet on what? What do you have? Chen Le calmed his hideous face and changed it to an interested expression.
"I ......" The hot-blooded boy suddenly felt as if he had nothing to gamble on? Do you gamble on gold and silver? That's too cheesy, isn't it something that a pretentious and high-minded young man like him can say, betting on other elegant and beautiful things? Even if I had it, I didn't bring it out.
"Do you want to bet gold and silver with me?" Chen Le wanted to gamble some silver in his heart, after all, his net worth was too thin, but he couldn't take the initiative to bring it up, and if he proposed it, he would immediately drop a few levels, so he could only lead the way.
"I'm ......" Seeing Chen Le's pale, the young man suddenly felt a little lower, and couldn't help but peek at the senior brother Lu Xiukong on the side.
Lu Xiukong frowned lightly on the side, and just wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, Chen Le said a little carelessly: "Whatever, you will lose anything you bet on anyway!" ”
"Me!" The young man was hot-blooded, and he couldn't be stimulated the most, so he opened his mouth and said: "I'll bet ten taels of silver with you!" ”
Ten taels of silver is actually not a lot, one tael of silver is about equal to a consistent copper coin, a consistent copper coin is a thousand Wen, and ten taels of silver is equivalent to ten pieces of money.
But this is only the official price, and in the real market, there is still a premium for exchanging silver for copper coins.
On the mainland, if it is an ordinary family of five, ten taels of silver is enough for this family of five to eat and wear for a whole year!
Chen Le couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart when he heard that the young man wanted to bet ten taels of silver, but the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned around and made a gesture of wanting to leave.
"Don't you go!" When the young man looked at his expression, he couldn't help but feel a void in his heart: "How much money do you want to bet?" ”
Xu Yang squinted at him: "Could it be that the students of Longma Academy are as shabby as you?" There are only ten taels of silver when you open your mouth, hehe, it seems that Longma Academy is worth this price. ”
His words were a little heart-wrenching, not only did the young man immediately change his face, but even Lu Xiukong behind him frowned slightly, and said in his heart, this person is also too arrogant, it was very unreasonable to stare at his good eyes just now, and now he actually said such unashamed words, even if he is really excellent in archery skills, I am afraid that his character will also fall behind.
At this time, there were fewer and fewer students from the Jixia School Palace who were watching, and most of the students left were Tianzi-level and Dizi-level students, except for Su Xiruo and Jia Nanfeng, almost no one knew Chen Le.
Chen Le looked at the young man whose face was flushed, and stretched out a slap at him: "Just bet on these!" ”
"How many are these?" The young man suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Fifty taels, it's not much, Zi said, there are friends from afar, don't you say, you can't let the students of Longma Academy come and go away!" Chen Le said with a smile.
The young man was so angry that his eyebrows jumped when he heard this, did he mean this? It doesn't seem to be, but I didn't say that there were friends from afar who wanted to gamble!
"In Xia Du Pre, haven't asked for the name of the senior brother yet?" The young man pinched his nose and said, after all, it is etiquette to exchange names and surnames before the competition.
"Chen Le, Chen Qingzhi." Chen Le said with a smile.
As soon as he spoke, the young man was stunned, generally speaking, the twenty-year-old crown ceremony on the mainland, only after the crown ceremony to take the word, but this is not absolute, because the male separation, the Spring and Autumn Turbulent Times, so there are many people who take the word in advance, many scholars take the word after the birth of the child, it is because the world is chaotic, the day is not safe, so there is no inconsistency in the ceremony.
"I agree to the bet of fifty taels of silver proposed by my senior brother, but I don't have so much money with me!" The boy is authentic.
Chen Le's face immediately sank when he heard this, revealing an expression that you have no money, what are you comparing with me, and I don't have time to coax you to play.
The young man's face immediately turned ashamed, and Lu Xiukong said behind him at this time: "Senior Brother Du, although you compete, Senior Brother has silver taels here." ”
Du Yu glanced at Lu Xiukong, nodded vigorously, and then said, "Senior Brother Chen, please!" ”
Chen Le looked at him, and then looked at the three targets in front of him, the distance of the targets was slightly different from those in the main hall, these three targets were one or two feet farther than just now in the main hall, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there is a breeze in the sky at this moment, and the wind can affect the accuracy of the arrow's progress.
He just paid a little attention to Du Pre's archery skills, Du Pre often hit the first and second targets are red hearts, and the third one sometimes hits, sometimes misses, but never misses the target, which shows the high archery skills of this young man.
"It's a guest from afar, Senior Brother Du, please?" Chen Le made a pose asking you to first.
"Senior brother, please first." Du pre politely gave in.
"Then I'll come first!" Chen Le bared his teeth: "What if it is a draw?" ”
Du Yu watched in amazement as Chen Le walked to the bow frame, took a yellow wood hard bow, and thought, why doesn't this person understand etiquette at all, he just let him, why does he have to do it first, no matter what aspect it is, whether he is a challenger or a visitor from afar, he should come first.
"A draw is naturally a victory for senior brothers!" Du Yu hesitated for a moment and said, this is not all about the pride of the teenager, but because he is a challenger and really draws, so even if the challenge is not successful, it is understandable to say that he lost.
Chen Le nodded, and without speaking, he gently picked the bowstring with two fingers, and the bowstring immediately made a "bang" sound, which was extremely pleasant to the ear.
Then I saw that his hand was like lightning, and he quickly drew out a white feather arrow, and then, as if he didn't even aim, shot out with a "whoosh".
One arrow hits the target of the red heart!
Du Yu's eyelids jumped immediately, and a few students before were able to shoot the nearest target heart, but the speed was not so fast, and the skills were not so sharp, this was simply a "blind shot", just a slight glance and shot out!
The corners of Chen Le's mouth turned up, revealing a faint, nonchalant smile, he walked in front of the second target as soon as he lifted his steps, and then he still did the same trick just now, shooting an arrow!
This arrow, re-enter the bull's-eye!
Du Yu's face was a little pale, and Lu Xiukong's slender and good-looking eyebrows on the side were slightly raised.
