Joss smiled and said nothing. Clapping his hands slightly, someone opened the small side door in the courtyard, and the little guy who opened the door retreated sideways. The bamboo grove planted outside the side gate had indeed changed its appearance, and the bamboo poles stood tall and low: taller than a grown man, and very low only half a foot above the ground. And the thickness of these bamboo poles themselves. There are also differences. "It's thicker than a human arm. It's very thin, but it's the size of a thumb. their shape. It is even more strange to hold to the extreme: some are straight. Some are meandering. Some are top-sharpened. Some of them have a cause. their distance. Start from a place about ten feet away. Continuous until the root of the wall. There are people from near and far. Qiao Si looked at it from afar, and was indeed more and more surprised. I don't know why my sister wants people to cut down a good bamboo forest like this.

"This is the way of the arrow! Those bamboo poles standing upright. They are all targets used by those who practice archery. Qiao Siwan said with a smile. Start today. You can identify a different bamboo pole every day as an indicator for archery. Among these bamboo poles. Far away. Exorbitant. Too short, or meandering. It's not easy to shoot, so you have to get closer first. Straight, neither high nor low practice. From easy to hard. Gradual ascension. One day, you will be able to hit three arrows in a row with any bamboo pole. Advanced archery skills are considered to have been practiced. It really came that day. Don't say your big cousin. Even in the whole of Kyoto, there may be no one who can surpass you! ”

Qiao Siyuan was stunned. stared blankly at Qiao Siwan. It's a bit unbelievable. When did my sister plan these things. Why didn't he receive any information at all? Where did my sister learn so many things?

Qiao Siwan didn't know the surprise in Er's heart, and pointed to the two iron rings and said, "Siyuan, you are a beginner. In order to give the arrows shot an accurate orientation. It is impossible not to pay attention to the posture of archery. Pay attention to the location of both arms. Neither too high nor too low. That is, it is necessary to make the bow stop in moderation. The words are easy though. It's not easy to learn. You have to do the hard work yourself. These two suspended hoops are a great shop aid! You touch fate,"

Qiao Siyuan heard this. Slip his hands through the hoop, just enough to lift his shoulders from the hoop. The little guy on the side hurriedly came over to carefully check his height, and deliberately put down the two ropes tied with rings. Adjust the height and then hand him the bow and arrows. Qiao Siyuan was stunned. Suddenly, it became clear that my sister was letting him be under the control of these two iron rings. Learn one at a time. He shot an arrow with great force. The arrow passed through the side door and fell before it could meet a bamboo pole.

"There's no rush, just make sure you have the right posture at first. In a few more years, you will be bound by the iron ring and will become natural from habit. Then he walked away from the iron ring and devoted himself to learning archery! ”“。 Sister, why are you suddenly planning these proximities?"

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly. "You broke into the hunting grounds. Do you want to feel it firsthand?

Sister knows what you want. When you practice archery well, you will definitely get your wish! ”

It's just that if Qiao Siyuan wants it, Qiao Siwan will go to great lengths to get it for him, which is what she owed this child in her previous life. Now she is desperate to protect him.

"Sister." Qiao Siyuan's dark eyes were full of emotion. I don't know what to say.

"Master, that's not all! Look over there! The little guy on the side interjected, his eyes full of happiness.

Qiao Siyuan followed his hand and looked over, and saw a very vividly shaped wooden horse standing in a corner of the courtyard in the courtyard. It is rugged in size and is no different from a living horse. The four legs were planted deep under the bricks like pillars, on its back. It also comes with a full saddle.

"I know we have real horses in our house. It's just that you have a lot of merit. It's true that you can't go out to walk a horse in the countryside every day, and this wooden horse is specially designed for you to practice riding! You've also seen King Mingjun's team. Can you see the swiftness and speed with which the warriors mounted? Archery and riding are indispensable, and I hope you remember that. Don't forget about horseback riding skills just for archery. ”

If Siyuan will leave himself one day in the future. Rush to the resort in my heart. Whether it's meritorious service or not. Whether it's marching or fighting, these will finally be used one day, Qiao Siwan thought so in her heart, but said in her mouth: "You have to practice hard, and you are not allowed to put your homework on hold." Did you hear that? ”

Qiao Siyuan's happy black eyes sparkled. Nodding forcefully, like a puppy. When he said it, there was a solemn meaning in his tone: "Sister." The benefits of your heart are far clear. ”

No. You don't know. I support you only because of your porridge. I can't trap your wings for the rest of my life just because I want you to be safe for the rest of your life. Always let yourself learn to fly, that's all. Qiao Siwan's heart was gloomy, but the smile on her face became more and more kind and bright.

Ruby was stunned. In order to purchase these things, the eldest lady took great pains to do so, and she took care of them in Shou'an Hall during the day. In his spare time, he delved into the methods of ancient books. Painted a pattern for the craftsman to make day and night. All of this was completed in just three days, even Mama Fang said. The eldest lady is so distressed about the eldest young master, and there is no second sister who looks at Kyoto.

Furui Temple

Mother Wang brought a cup of hot tea and said steadily, "Madam." Let's go to Shouantang. The servant heard that the old lady could not get up for three days. ”

"Look at what! The old woman locked up my daughter and told me to hurry to see her. I'm so messy. I was in a hurry, so I went and smashed the temple! Yu Meiniang was still angry, her face was full of displeasure, and she slammed the teacup on the small table. The expression was gloomy and about to drip water.

"Ma'am. Don't say such angry words, this is hurting people by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred! Isn't it a joke for the big and small sisters! Mother Wang hurriedly waved her hand and hurriedly persuaded. You are like this, and the old man and his wife are still not done. How will the future be lived? ”

Yu Meiniang gritted her teeth and said, "Then what do you say?" Who would have thought that the soft-boned Qiao Siwan would become so powerful. successively sent Aunt Li and Jiao Xing, two little goblins, to the master, and it happened that the two masters loved them very much. Now I can't even enter my room once a month. He didn't listen to anything I said, and Ke'er was still locked up in the family temple and had no way to ask for help, which really suffocated me. ”

"Madame, have a cup of tea to cool off." Mother Wang said softly, "I think when my wife first got married, people inside and outside this mansion were staring. Madame, you go up and down to dot. Filial piety to the old lady. Treat the eldest lady and the eldest young master as if they were their own children. Gentle and compassionate to the lord. Over the years, the more comfortable it has been, not to mention that the old lady treats Mrs. politely, the old man and Mrs. are also affectionate and loving. The old slave said something improper. If the lady is still as stable as she was at the beginning, it will not be so easy to fall into the way of the eldest lady. You are her mother. The identity is there. How would she dare to slash at you? That's not daring, a filial piety word will crush her to death, the second miss is too impulsive. Madame, if you don't persuade you, you really went to the old lady's side to make trouble. That's a bad thing. Besides, you looked at the old man so gently and compassionately. Now for the sake of the second lady and the young master in your belly, I show the old man his face once or twice, and from time to time he is decent. How does the master be intimate with you, and how can he not be careless? ”

Yu Meiniang leaned back in the chair, thinking of the complacent scenery over the years, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she was too sloppy. I can't help but kill an Aunt Li in the diagonal area. Then she took a wrong step. Let Aunt Li grow up day by day. I don't know when. Qiao Li became more and more indifferent to her, and he didn't talk to her about intimate words. In this house. It's very nervous to cage the man's heart. If only he would help himself. It won't be difficult to move an inch in this house now.

Wang's mother is at ease. picked up the tea on the side and handed it over: "Madame is a person with a delicate heart, so she doesn't need the old slave to talk too much." But how do you know the ghost town skills of those fox spirits, so you will talk about Jiao Xing. Even if Mrs. wants to marry Jiao Xing to Miao Shi's son, there is no need to be so anxious, Hengzhi is just a girl. Whatever you want. It's just a sneak peek. Madame happened to make a sensation first. Later, it came to the master's side, and the master had a thought. Mrs. is a big deal and it is just a matter of taking her into the house, but it just so happens that you refuse to live or die, and finally you insist on making an aunt, isn't it all the plan of the eldest lady? ”

Yu Meiniang listened. He was silent, and the look on his face was almost repentant.

Mother Wang continued: "Madam, now the master and you are separated. And thou shalt be more and more secure, as a wife. Naturally, you should be polite in front of your mother-in-law. Morning and dusk should also be determined. You haven't been there once this month. Let people say that you are not polite and polite. Isn't that a double loss? Again. This time the old lady was sick. You don't go to visit continuously. To say this is a great unfilial piety. Madame, you must think clearly! ”

"I went to see her cold face? You don't know how much she doesn't want to see this child in my belly, why bother," Yu Meiniang couldn't help but say.

"No matter how excessive the old lady is. You always have to do your best to be filial and filial. No one else can say anything about you! ”

Poppy was speechless. This sentence is right in the middle of the story. Mother Wang's eyes flickered when she looked at Yu Meiniang. Knowing what she was thinking, he continued to persuade: "You know, the eldest lady is guarding over there every day, and now who in the house doesn't say that she is filial piety and has a woman, madam, you have given a good reputation to the eldest lady for nothing!" Even Aunt Li took all kinds of opportunities to greet the old lady, shh If you just care about making a noise with the old lady. It was cheap for the eldest lady and Aunt Li to profit from it. Would you rather do it? ”

Yu Meiniang nodded. The brow gradually relaxed. Shen groaned: "What you said is that I was negligent and sloppy. ”

Mother Wang hurriedly added the last fire: "Madame, if you figure it out today, it's good." We don't care about anything in front of us, and we have to plan and manage it well in the future. It's impossible to be ignorant anymore and ask people to sum it up. The more the old lady has no good expression towards you, the more you have to laugh, so that you also appear to be virtuous and submissive, and as the days go by, people will say that the old lady is mean, and you will find a time to get rid of those vixens. The master's heart also returned. ”

Yu Meiniang nodded. Fascinated by the lights that went out. said: "I understand that I should also go and wait for the old lady." ”

Mother Wang hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay." The old slave went to plan. ”

"Wait!" Yu Meiniang paused. Said suddenly. "Another. You help me go to the next post. He said that he would invite Mrs. Su to come to the door for a gathering. ”

"Ma'am. What are you? Mother Wang said in her heart that you are still plotting to scrape that incident, and sure enough, she heard Yu Meiniang laugh and said, "The master wants me to break my mind, hum." It's not that easy! Wait and see! ”

There are children's shoes who miss their stepmother very much, so let her go out for a walk. I don't want to make persimmons. Well, clench your fists!

Qiao Siyuan practiced archery very seriously in the sun. From time to time, he turned around curiously to look at Qiao Siwan who was sitting embroidering under the porch. Finally, I couldn't help but run over and ask, "Sister." What are you embroidering? ”

Qiao Siwan smiled. Qiao Siyuan went over to see what she was embroidering after all, and the more she looked at it, the more she thought it was fresh, and said, "What kind of pattern is this?" Why haven't I ever seen it? ”

On the yellow satin, the strange patterns are lined up in rows. Qiao Siyuan only thought that these tricks were very eye-catching. And each one is embroidered with silk threads of different colors. Qiao Siyuan pointed to the pattern of a small hexagonal box and asked, "What is the benefit of this?" ”

"This is a hexagonal exquisite box, there is a folk saying that the box is called "the so-called harmony" means that the things in this box are always abundant. Take its homonym. Qiao Siwan replied softly.

So. Qiao Siyuan took a closer look, and happily pointed to the second light black pattern and said, "Ah, I understand this." This is a drum wrench for singing. I've seen people slap it with a rope and make a loud noise. Why did my sister embroider this pattern, and everything I've seen is purple, how can it be this color? ”

"The advantage of the drum board is that it is neat and tidy" takes its uniform meaning. For most of the drumboards you have glimpsed are made of rosewood, and therefore their color is always as deep as ink, purple, and I will embroider them on yellow satin. It looks tacky with purple. It would be more appropriate to switch to light black. ”

Qiao Siyuan nodded, continued to look at it, and soon happily pointed to the third pattern and said, "Ah! This is the archway! ”

Hongyu stood nearby and laughed, and couldn't help but say, "The eldest young master is really." This is not an archway, this is the dragon gate where the carp jumps over the dragon gate! ”

This gantry. Qiao Siwan used almost all the bright colors. Converge like a rainbow. It's really pretty. Qiao Siyuan's face was a little unpleasant, it is true that no one will embroider the deformity of the archway is not very lucky. He pointed to the small fish nearby and said, "Then this is the carp!" ”

Qiao Siwan nodded. "That's right. The meaning of fish is gloomy. Actually, there was something she didn't say. Here she wants to embroider two small fish, a female and a male, swimming together. It symbolizes the harmony between the couple and the prosperity of their children and grandchildren. Qiao Siwan thought about it. The eldest princess was disappointed by her husband and daughter, and when she saw such an embroidery, she was afraid of touching the scene, and only embroidered a fish, so that she had to bury her head more and be more exquisite.

Hongyu replied, "The eldest young master, for the sake of this fish, the eldest lady has put a lot of thought into it!" The rest of the fish is embroidered with gray silk thread. The fish scales are made of a glowing silver color, and it takes a lot of time just to find this silk thread, and it is necessary to find a craftsman to use the silver powder to dye the thread to make such a brilliant and eye-catching result. ”

"Sure enough, it looks lifelike," Qiao Siyuan stared at the glittering scales for a long time, unable to help himself, and then his gaze fell on something else. "The body of this crane nearby is pure white. The top of the head is purplish-red. Such intense shades. It's so pretty that I can't describe it, and my sister is really good at putting a lot of thought into it. No wonder others say you're clever and smart. ”

Joss smiled wistfully. Said: "You should be a pig and have the intention of a crane." But do you recognize the last three? ”

Cranes have a long lifespan. It means immortality, this Qiao Siyuan knows. His gaze followed Qiao Siwan's question and fell on Lingzhi and Matsumura. The meaning of these two items is auspicious and strong, but the last item is the same white jade. He couldn't see what it was anyway. I had to be honest: "Sister, I can't guess the last thing." Why is it like a triangle with a corner missing? ”

Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "This is Pan, a musical instrument in ancient times, and now only musicians of the royal family will use it. The person who plays such an instrument should not use too much force. It is necessary to knock gently, and the ability to produce a clear and supple sound comes. It is used with hundreds of musical instruments. It is also easy to distinguish the sound of this instrument, which is said to sound very good! Nesting, outstanding. The eight things on this yellow satin have the meaning of wishes. It is for the Eight Treasure Chart. Can you be clear? ”

Qiao Siyuan stood silent for a long time, so long that Qiao Siwan thought that he would not speak anymore, and then he suddenly said, "This embroidery." It's for Princess Celestia. Isn't it? ”

Qiao Siwan smiled and nodded, her eyes shining. Qiao Siyuan lowered his head. Said: "Sister." It's all my fault, and if it weren't for me, you wouldn't need to climb these elites. ”

"Man walks in the mortal world. There's no one who can't hang their heads. Princess Celestia treats us favorably. This favor is not handled by sending an embroidery, I am just talking about my heart. Qiao Siwan said so easily, but Hongyu knew that this was not the case. While taking care of the old lady, the eldest lady began to design the wooden horse hoop and entrusted it to the craftsmen. I still have to take time out to embroider such an eight-treasure map, and I haven't closed my eyes for three nights. In order to do a good job of this eight-treasure map. She searched for almost all the symbols of auspiciousness. The embroidery was dismantled and embroidered. Embroidered and dismantled. Even Kyoto's most advanced embroiderers don't put so much thought into an embroidery. Who is it all for. No one knows it better than Ruby. In the eyes of the eldest lady. The person who is very nervous is the eldest young master.

Qiao Siyuan's eyes were hot, and he lowered his head and didn't speak. After a long time, he said: "Not at all! My sister is all for me! If I hadn't accidentally entered the hunting ground, I would have been blamed on Jiang Tianye. My sister doesn't need to bow her head to Princess Celestia! ”

Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and also looked at Qiao Siwan along Qiao Siyuan, but the eldest lady didn't raise her head. Continue to carefully embroider the yellow satin in his hand. I couldn't see her expression clearly. It wasn't until she had finished embroidering the last stitch on the rock that she reached out and patted Qiao Siyuan's head. As if to express appreciation: "If only you knew my hard work." Although the eldest princess has a not very good personality, her personality is elusive. But after all, the heart is not bad. And she really helped us, so that you can escape a life from the hands of the prince of Thailand, which is very good, not to mention an embroidery. It's the eyeballs she wants for her sister. My sister won't say a word either. ”

Qiao Siyuan was shocked, and the big black eyes were full of tears. Qiao Siwan looked at him with a smile and said, "You are a boy, don't shed tears at every turn." These sisters can help you out. My sister will help you block, but one day. My sister can't protect you. It's all on your own. Can you still shed tears? Who will feel sorry for your tears? ”

Qiao Siyuan wiped away the tears that were about to flow out, wiped his eyes red, Qiao Siwan sighed, and looked at the patio. Said thoughtfully: "Continuously." My sister is doing her best to protect you, and this time I know. I can't protect you for the rest of your life. Our aunt looked at her kind eyes. The means are powerful. I don't know how many people have died in my father's house over the years. How many people were sold. Once a woman becomes pregnant. It's going to disappear for nowhere, you know? That's our younger brothers and sisters, who will protect them? "Such an environment. Who doesn't like to be a concubine, and who is happy to be a concubine and concubine who can't even guarantee their lives? can live under compulsion. Even if it is a concubine and a daughter-in-law, how many can always connect the innocent, flawless, bright and carefree life?

Qiao Siyuan listened quietly, and he gradually understood Qiao Siwan's benefits. Very new chapter

"My brother has grown up." Qiao Siwan seemed to be smiling. There were tears in his eyes, "I believe you know everything, no matter how much my sister risks death, she can only protect you from being harmed in the backyard." The wind and rain ahead are still up to you. ”

Qiao Siyuan leaned over to Qiao Siwan's side. I just thought there was a warm and gentle aroma, and my heart was indescribably close. Then he said in a low voice: "Sister." In the future, Siyuan will never be so reckless. I've made you worry about me, and I'm bound to endure everything. I won't give you any more trouble. ”

There was silence for a while. Qiao Siwan spoke again. This time, the tone was unprecedentedly silent: "You misunderstood the benefits of your sister." Sister doesn't tell you to endure everything, you have to distinguish the importance of everything, and you can endure the small things that do not hinder the overall situation. Even if someone slaps you in the face, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. To the detriment of the big picture. "Siyuan. You have to remember that it really got to the field. It is your life and death, and every inch of land will be contested. If you are patient. It's you who dies, if your mother didn't blindly endure it. It won't die so soon! ”

Qiao Siyuan's heart was shocked. The mother is folded in the hands of the familiar and disgusted poppy girl. will lose a life in vain!
