Chapter Twenty-Eight: Two Arrows and Seven Coins
Although Rong Chuan was humble, he couldn't suppress the smugness in his eyes: "My family Rong Errong and the third division learned from General Liang Cuo Liang, and he learned some little kung fu, which is not enough to be with outsiders. ”
"General Liang's archery skills are unique in the world, when my nephew Bai Xiuyuan, the third room of my family, defeated the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, he saw it with his own eyes, and he was also convinced. He can't be wrong...... he taught" As she spoke, Mrs. Ying Guo stretched out her hand and motioned for Bai Chuxi to help herself up: "Grandson, let's go and have a look." ”
Bai Chuyi raised his head: "Just listen to grandmother, take a look." ”
Several elders next to him also pouted: "Let's go too." ”
The people in the front hall were led to the back like this, and Rong Xin felt a little uneasy when he saw it, what if the second sister lost her hand? Isn't the Rong family's face going to be lost?
When the poets saw that everyone at the table had gathered at the shooting range, they didn't know what was happening. Looking towards the shooting range, standing in the middle was the 'bowstring' that they had just said that shocked the phoenix.
Someone whispered, "What is she doing here?" With such a heavy bow, can it be drawn? ”
In the middle of the shooting range, Rong Changning's plain skirt was like a cicada's wings, and it looked more like Jiangcui's white waves from a distance.
I saw Rong Ruo boldly standing in front of the target, throwing the copper coin in his hand high, the silver moon bent the bow and immediately did not pull it full, the soft and warm wind blew in front of Changning, and the broken hair of the sideburns crossed the face.
She stared intently in the direction of the copper coin and the bull's-eye, and the arrows passed through the strings.
The arrow is solid and powerful in the bull's-eye, and the copper coin is worn in the body of the arrow, and before Rongxin can react, the people around him shouted: "Good!" ”
Rong Ruo looked at the body of the arrow, turned his head and ran towards Rong Changning, took the second sister in his arms, and was so happy that he seemed to have shot the bull's-eye, raised his chin and tilted his head and asked those people: "What?!" I said that my second sister wore Yang in a hundred steps, is this a letter?! ”
The prince of Mu Wangfu waved his hand: "The heroine of the Rong family's sister and daughter is deeply hidden, this experience is really shining, I'm afraid that no one wants to see our brother anymore." ”
Rong Changning smiled like a spring breeze and handed the bow in his hand to Rong Ruo: "Everyone has their own strengths, if your length is shorter than mine, of course I will bow to the wind." ”
If it weren't for the moment she laughed just now, Bai Chuxi would have almost forgotten that Rong Changning would still laugh.
Mrs. Ying Guo held Bai Chuxi's hand, watched Rong Changning walk back to the seat, and couldn't help nodding: "Okay...... This is like the daughter-in-law of my Bai family. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Bai Chuxi meaningfully, looking like he was pointing.
"We have been in the imperial city for so many years, but we didn't know that the daughter of the Rong family was so good, it can be said that if you don't make a sound, you have already made a splash. Bai Ning is hiding his good daughter, and he doesn't plan to release it for others to see, right? ”
"Where, where?" Rong Chuan looked back at Rong Changning, and Mrs. Ying Guo next to him called someone over: "Go, call Miss Rong Er over, I want to talk to her a few words." ”
Xiao Dong hurriedly ran to the field, stood next to Xiao Dong and said something, Xiao Dong turned around and went to Rong Changning's side: "Miss! Miss...... The old lady is there waiting to talk to you. ”
Rong Changning raised his eyes and saw that Mrs. Ying Guo and all the guests were standing there not far away.
Xiao Dong put down his sleeves for Rong Changning: "Miss, let's go over?" ”
"Hmm." Rong Changning put down his sleeves and walked over there.
Xiao Dong muttered: "Miss, the people who came from the table over there are all guests of the Bai family, His Royal Highness the Prince, Duke Suiguo, Prime Minister, Prince Mu and our Hou Ye are also there." As an accompaniment, Bai Xiuyuan, the third uncle of General Bai, is in charge of the military department. The slave maid also thought that this Mrs. Yingguo would sit at the same table with all the family members, so it can be seen that this old woman is not easy to get along with. ”
"To be able to raise a grandson like General Dingbei, do you think she is an ordinary woman?" Rong Changning was not at all surprised by this: "I heard that General Bai's grandfather went to the battlefield earlier, so this old lady followed. In the barracks, she burned a fire and cooked, and when her husband went to war, she put on her armor and went up to the castle tower. After three dynasties, whether it is the sword and blood shadow outside, or the wind and rain in the court, what world has she never seen? With such a vision, the treacherous little woman who is in the same nest in the backyard naturally has nothing to say. ”
"In this case, the young lady should be more careful."
recalled that when she first arrived in Baifu, the old lady looked at her and looked wrong, and Rong Changning should deal with it well.
The sole of his shoe stepped on the tip of the tender grass, and Rong Changning approached Mrs. Yingguo step by step: "Old lady." ”
"Come on." Mrs. Ying Guo saw Rong Changning, and then pushed Bai Chuxi to signal him to go far away and give up the place, and Bai Chuxi had to give way.
Rong Changning stood over, Mrs. Ying Guo took Rong Changning's hand without seeing it at all, looked at the white ten-fingered slender back of her hand, opened her palm to look, and saw the cocoon that was often grinding out of holding a bow and shooting arrows: "I can't practice such kung fu for more than ten years." ”
"The old lady lifted, it was my class who got the axe."
This is completely different from what Rong Changning imagined, there were no polite words on the scene, no fake greetings, the grandmother looked at her like this and told Rong Changning seriously: "You, you look very much like one of my old friends, and even your appearance and demeanor are similar to it." ”
"The deceased? Being somewhat similar to the old lady's old friend is also a blessing for Changning. ”
"Very good, good ......" Mrs. Ying Guo stretched out her old but not rough hand, tore off the Ruyi jade pendant on her waist and handed it to Rong Changning: "Grandmother has nothing to give you, this jade pendant has followed grandmother for many years, and it will be handed over to you today, you have to keep it." ”
As he spoke, he closed Rong Changning's hand and patted it twice. 56
Rong Changning didn't know what this jade pendant meant, but he only saw a trace of surprise in Bai Chuxi's eyes, which made Rong Changning realize that this thing had some weight for the Bai family.
"People are old, we will be tired after standing for a while, let's all go back to the table, right?" Mrs. Ying Guo said that she was going to take someone back, and Bai Chuxi was just about to help, but was pushed over by Mrs. Ying Guo: "You go and do your job, don't make people dizzy in front of me." After speaking, he put his hand on the aunt who was waiting with him, and said, "Let's go." ”
In a blink of an eye, Rong Changning and Bai Chuxi were left.
Rong Changning didn't look at Bai Chuxi more, turned his head and was about to leave, and he didn't want to say a word to him, because this person didn't say anything else to himself except for the divorce.
Bai Chuxi followed closely behind her: "Miss Rong Er." ”
“……”
"Rong Changning!"
“……”
"Eiji!"
The people around were shouted by Bai Chuxi, and they all looked at this, thinking that something was wrong.
Rong Changning took a deep breath and turned his head to face Bai Chuxi: "Is there something wrong with the general?" ”
"Can you take a step to speak?"
Everyone is watching, how can Rong Changning say that he doesn't want to talk to him? I had to bite the bullet and follow Bai Chuxi to a sparsely populated place in front of a bamboo forest.
Seeing that there was no one around, Rong Changning opened his mouth and asked directly: "General Bai wants to talk about the divorce, right?" ”
"If it hadn't been for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince telling me, I wouldn't have known that this kiss was Miss Ronger, and you went to ask the saint yourself."
Rong Changning raised her head violently and stared at Bai Chuxi, and then lowered her head knowing that she was wrong, and her appearance looked very pitiful, but she just didn't change her previous coldness: "You know? ”
"Yes."
"......" Rong Changning at this moment couldn't open his mouth as if he had eaten a rice cake, and only said after a long time: "In that case, is the general here to be held accountable?" ”
"In the past, I was puzzled, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, I understood a little."
"Understand what?"
Bai Chuxi stepped forward, lowered his voice and said in Rong Changning's ear: "I understand that the fire that started in the backyard of the Hou Mansion is not accidental, and I also understand that it is not by chance that you chose me. ”
He told Rong Changning in a low voice that he had a handle in his hand, which made Rong Changning feel uneasy: "The general has no evidence. ”
"What do I need evidence for?" Bai Chuxi chuckled: "I don't want to report you again." Although my family has a small population, I still know some about the rights and wrongs in the mansion. You ask the Holy God for marriage, but you don't necessarily have me in your heart, and you keep saying that you want an identity. Do you want an identity as a concubine of the Hou Mansion? It is not difficult to imagine that life at home is not going well. ”
"Everyone says that the general has both civil and military skills, is good at perceiving people's hearts, and is meticulous on the battlefield, and can always know himself and his opponent without defeat. That's true. ”
Bai Chuxi waved his hand: "If you have any difficulties, you might as well be open and honest with me." ”
Rong Changning turned his eyes to look away, and the words in his heart were blocked between his lips and teeth, and it was difficult to speak. But Bai Chuxi looked at her so sincerely.
"You just want me to owe you, and I'll pay you back in the future, you're drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle."
"Yes and no." Bai Chuxi didn't shy away from it at all: "I just want to solve this matter completely without hurting you and me." ”
“……”
Seeing that she was still spitting, Bai Chuxi raised his hand directly: "I, Bai Chuxi, swear to the sky that what Miss Rong Er said to me today will never reach the ears of the third person, if not, I will die on the street." ”
Then Bai Chuxi raised his eyebrows at her.
"Well, since the general mentioned the fire, I'm not afraid of the general's jokes. You might as well tell the general that I set the fire. But I also had to do it. On that day, the aunt instigated her son to jump into the ice hole to frame Ah Ruo, and the father was so angry that he asked for family law, and I had a few arguments, and I was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall with Ah Ruo. Ah Ruo was seriously injured and fainted to death, I went to call the door, but I didn't know that my mother had just passed away, and the people in the family couldn't move. I had to set myself on fire to save myself from the trouble, and change my brother's life. ”
Rong Changning said his mistakes, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant: "The general only knows that I am the daughter of the family, but he doesn't know that after my mother passed away, the Hou Mansion changed the sky, and my life was also in dire straits." The father waited for the mother's mourning period to pass and Fuzheng Xiaoniang, and Xiaoniang waited for Fuzheng to get rid of my younger brother and replace his son with a knight. ”
Rong Changning sighed lightly, looked at the green grass and trees, his eyes were shallow and desolate: "I swear to death that I will not ask him to touch a single hair of my brother." So my aunt looked at me as an eyesore, called someone from Hengliang's hometown to propose marriage, and wanted to marry me to Hengliang, and did not hesitate to drug me, so that when I left, she would attack my eldest sister Aruo. It was also at this time that I met you, the general. ”
"So, you thought of asking for a holy marriage?" Hearing this, Bai Chuxi's heart also understood a little: "I knew that you were also in trouble." ”
