Chapter 42: Daughters Should Be Self-Reliant
"Jin'er, I heard that Xie Fuzi is back. Master, be well. β
"My aunt's health is fine, but she was conspired by the villain to delay her trip back to Beijing. My aunt has already come to the palace to report, and the next class is. β
"That's good."
Mr. Wang had just finished his first class, and the idle ladies were chatting in twos and threes.
"Hanyue, look at the pattern of my newly bought head, is it good-looking, how about the birthday of King Runan?" Zhao Ruoyun asked happily.
"Rich and streamlined, very suitable for you."
Wang Hanyue looked at the pattern handed over by Zhao Ruoyun.
"Are your clothes and jewelry ready for that day, let me help you consult."
Zhao Ruoyun said with great interest that the king of Runan spent his birthday in the capital for the first time, and such a feast is very rare.
Wang Hanyue glanced at Zhao Ruoyun with a smile, she naturally prepared carefully, but she couldn't tell her at this time.
"Secret ......," Wang Hanyue said slyly.
"Okay, you didn't even tell me, did you secretly prepare something good." Zhao Ruoyun said with a smile, let you not tell me.
After speaking, Zhao Ruoyun tickled Wang Hanyue's itch.
"Alright, alright, I've got you covered...... Yes......" Wang Hanyue said with some admitting defeat.
And Xu Ping'er and Zhao Qianqian sat quietly in their places and watched everyone play.
Xu Ping'er was envious in her eyes, and she didn't know when she would be able to mingle with these noble girls;
Zhao Qianqian sat quietly, not knowing what was going on in her heart.
The time to play always flies very quickly, and after a while, the "Dangdang" bell rings.
Classes have started......
As soon as everyone sat down, they saw Xie Fuzi walking in heroically.
Dressed in riding clothes, without powder, heroic and compelling.
Although he had only experienced a long journey, he did not feel haggard at all.
Xie Fuzi clasped his fists with the crowd and saluted.
Today's lesson was outdoor archery, so she asked the girls to change into riding and archery clothes.
When the girls changed into riding clothes and came to the school field, they found that today's riding range was different from the past.
Countless targets stood in the center of the field.
But all of them have a weak foundation, and when a gust of wind blows, they will fall from side to side and float with the wind.
"These are the questions of today's exam. Ten arrows per person, the hit is scored, and the last three are to stay in Zamabu. β
As soon as Xie Fuzi's words fell, there was a wail on the field.
Although this floating target is densely packed in the field, it is not difficult to shoot and is very easy to shoot.
"Master, I have an objection, this target is not firmly rooted, it swings with the wind, and there is no way to shoot an arrow." Wang Hanyue was bold and expressed the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts.
"Yes."
"Yes."
There was a chorus of echoes in the field, and even Zhao Ruoyun, who has always been martial, spoke out against it, this target fluttering in the wind is too difficult!
Shout...... Shout...... Shout......
Xie Fuzi didn't say a word, just silently walked to the quiver, three arrows at once, three hearts.
A group of noble ladies were suppressed.
"What's so difficult about this little floating target, there is no child's play on the battlefield, the enemy will not stand in front of you and wait for you to kill. If you can't do it as simple as that, just leave. β
The venue was silent, and everyone was still immersed in the momentum of Xie Fuzi.
"The battlefield has its own men and blood, and we don't need to go there." Wang Hanyue murmured in a low voice that was not convinced.
"Could it be that the daughter's family was born to hide behind the man." Xie Fuzi asked.
Wang Hanyue: "......"
Xie Fuzi looked at the women and said, "I know that you are all women who are well-versed in poetry and books. Sending a concubine to an An Sheji, I don't know where to use the general, you should have read this poem. Throughout the ages, how many women have been forced to marry distant relatives for the sake of the country, and among these people may be your relatives and sisters, or you in the future. Have you ever wondered if this kind of thing happened to you, and if you could have the slightest ability to protect yourself? β
Xie Fuzi continued: "Have you ever thought that if a woman could carry a gun and ride a horse to defend the mountains and rivers, she might be less able to let others manipulate their fate. I am strict with you, but I hope that you will be able to rely on you in times of trouble. β
After listening to Xie Fuzi's words, the women fell silent.
They boast that they are palace students, one head higher than other women, and they will have a bright future. But he never thought about what he would do if he left the blessing of his father and brother's family.
Xie Jin looked at everyone and knew that Xie Fuzi's words had worked, and the rest only needed to let them know that the exam questions in front of them were not as difficult as they thought.
Xie Jin took the lead, picked up a quiver, and held his breath......
One, two...... Nine, ten......
There were ten arrows, and the arrows were on target, which shocked everyone.
It seems that this question is not as difficult as they imagined.
And Zhao Qianqian was also deeply touched, as if she had been empowered again.
Delicate as her, she acted before Zhao Ruoyun for the first time, chose a good bow, and shot an arrow.
One, two...... Eight, nine......
Zhao Qianqian is still too weak in the end, and she is about to shoot ten arrows.
She shot the last arrow with all her might, and the whole person fell to the ground.
And the tenth arrow finally hit the target.
Xie Jin looked at Zhao Qianqian with relief, and she also smiled brightly at Xie Jin.
Looking at the bright smile on the face of the weak Zhao Qianqian, the hearts of the women were even more touched.
Fu Nanzhi wanted to give it a try, but was robbed by Zhao Ruoyun.
Woohoo......
Ten arrows were fired in a row, and most of them were shot at the target.
Zhao Ruoyun put down her bow and arrow with satisfaction, how could she let Zhao Qianqian steal her limelight.
Fu Nanzhi, Sun Simiao......
The girls of Hanlian Academy are slowly handing over their results.
Although there were not many targets, they were not discouraged, and from the moment they pulled the bowstring, they defeated their once delicate selves.
In the end, even Wang Hanyue, who has always disdained riding and shooting, pulled out the bowstring.
Xie Fuzi looked at the women with satisfaction, she was not naΓ―ve to think that she could change the deep-rooted concepts in the hearts of the women with a single shooting practice.
But as long as she insists on planting a seed in the hearts of everyone, generation after generation.
One day, it will take root.
Women can also stand side by side with men, and do all the fame that a man can achieve, whether it is to learn or to fight on the border.
It's not just blindly hiding in the back house, from the father, from the husband, from the son.
When the competition ended, Xie Fuzi said: "Isn't this little moving target not as difficult as imagined." You've done a better job than I expected. As a reward, I did not force the last three half-hour horses, nor did I send someone to supervise them. But if you want to build a solid foundation, practice on your own. β
After speaking, Xie Fuzi and the girls went to school.
Zhao Qianqian only shot one arrow, naturally in the last three.
She consciously went to a target and took up her horse's steps.
At the same time, Fu Nanzhi also honestly tied up the horse.
As a woman from a scholarly family, her martial arts skills are really not flattering, and her results are the same as Zhao Qianqian's, and she only shot one arrow.
Another woman who should have stayed in Zamabu should be Xu Ping'er, she missed an arrow and was the last one today.
But Xu Ping'er saw that Xie Fuzi had gone away, so she secretly found a big stone that was covered by grass and trees, and sat down.
Xu Ping'er decided to rest on her own for half an hour before returning home.
In this way, Xie Fuzi didn't know, if he was complaining to Mrs. Xie. Maybe the old lady is distressed, and it is good to reward herself with some fresh things.
Tomorrow is the birthday of the king of Runan, and if you have numb legs and feet, and your face is swollen, it will be extremely ugly.
You can't spoil your new clothes carefully cut with Yinyun brocade!
