Chapter 215: Practicing Arrows
On this day, it was Xiao Qi's turn to rest Mu, and she called Mu Ziqi and Feng Xiaogongzi to teach martial arts at home.
"I'll teach you archery today."
Xiao Qi took out a basket, which was full of sharpened wooden arrows.
"Come, let me see how good you are first."
Ah Mo stood aside and watched, he didn't despise these wooden arrows at all, on the way to Jinling to transport grain, he saw with his own eyes that these wooden arrows had made great contributions.
Mu Zixi and Feng Xiaogongzi stood in front of the grass target and drew a bow and shot arrows,
Xiao Qi stood beside Feng Xiaogongzi with a thin stick, "The left arm sinks - the legs are more apart - okay, that's it." β
Feng Xiaogongzi was hit with a small stick twice, and his eyes were a little moist.
Xiao Qi stood on tiptoe and gently patted Feng Xiaogongzi's shoulder, comforting him: "Martial arts training is originally a very hard thing, you have to endure hardships in order to be better than others." β
Xiao Qi walked up to Mu Ziqi again and nodded approvingly, "Well, yes, your posture is in place." β
Mu Ziqi winked at Feng Xiaogongzi, and an arrow shot out, hitting the bull's-eye.
Ah Mo stood in front of Ngawang with his chest straight, and he was a proud big rooster.
Ngawang was very unconvinced, "My son-in-law is very smart, and he will soon be more powerful than your son-in-law, let's see-Childe, come on-"
Because of the comparison, Feng Xiaogongzi learned more carefully, and his first arrow missed the target.
Then there were three arrows in a row, only one of them hit the target, and it was still some distance from the bull's-eye, and Feng Xiaogongzi was disappointed in his heart.
Picked up the fourth arrow and threw it on the ground, "It's all because this arrow is not good." β
Xiao Qi hurriedly picked up the wooden arrows: "You have to cherish these wooden arrows, they are all carefully made by my father." β
Feng Xiaogongzi: "Master, can you give me some better arrows?" β
Xiao Qi said to Mu Ziqi Nunu: "Feng Yulang, let me tell you, this has nothing to do with arrows, the main thing is that you can't do it yourself, you see that Mu Ziqi also uses this kind of wooden arrow." β
Feng Xiaogongzi: "Master, you can also shoot an arrow." β
Xiao Qi did not use the same grass target as them in archery, but a wooden target specially made by Liu Dahe.
The target of several pieces of wood is a foot thick.
When Xiao Qi carried the wood to the field, Feng Xiaogongzi was dumbfounded, "Master, this wood is too bulky." β
Xiao Qi: "It's safer this way." β
As he spoke, Xiao Qi gently pulled his bow and shot an arrow, and the wooden arrow fell into the wooden block for more than half a foot.
A few people next to him applauded warmly, attracting a few maids to watch.
Feng Xiaogongzi "No wonder the master wants to shoot this stupid wood, if the master shoots the grass target, the wooden arrow may shoot through the grass target and come out through the wall." β
Mu Zishan: "You may also get out of the wall and hurt people walking outside the wall." β
The maidens were chattering and discussing.
"Mu Gongzi is so handsome!"
"Feng Xiaogongzi is also very good-looking."
β¦β¦
Xiao Qi ate a lot, and he was hungry fast, and when he was hungry in the middle, he asked the maid to help bring a few steamed buns.
Feng Xiaogongzi took a steamed bun and bit it into his mouth: "Master, I'll eat at your house at noon." β
Ah Mo licked his lips and said, "Little Seventh Girl, our young master hasn't eaten at your house for a long time. β
In fact, the Niu family is very thoughtful, in the past, when Mu Ziqi and Feng Xiaogongzi were eating at Liu's house, the Niu family would set aside some dishes for Ah Mo and Ah Wang to use together, which tasted very good, which made Ah Mo miss it very much.
Xiao Qi shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work today, my mother is not happy, and she won't cook for you." β
Ah Mo also said: "In the past, when our son-in-law came over, he would be warmly welcomed, but today seems to be a bit cold. β
"Mainly because my mother owes 10,000 taels of silver."
Xiao Qi looked at Mu Zishan: "Guess where you owe?" β
Amo: "Gambling house? β
Feng Xiaogongzi: "Our Pengzhou City, even if it is gambling, it is rare to hear that it owes so much, my uncle Jin Daya lost thousands of taels in gambling a few days ago, and he is already a super big customer in the gambling house." β
Ah Mo: "10,000 taels of silver, in this Pengzhou City, you really can't owe so much if you don't gamble, but what else can harm people like this besides gambling?" β
Xiao Qi: "My mother's 10,000 taels are owed to you Mufu." β
Ah Mo sighed when he heard this.
Mu Zichen frowned and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" β
"A few days ago, my mother was invited to your wooden mansion as a guest, and broke the jade bonsai that is very valuable in your house, saying that it was worth 10,000 taels of silver."
Mu Ziqi knew in his heart that when their family came to take office from the capital, they didn't bring any valuable things, only some defective products that filled the faΓ§ade, and it was impossible to say that Xiao Qi's mother broke 10,000 taels of jade bonsai in Mufu.
Mu Ziqi: "I'll go back and ask about this matter." β
Xiao Qi: "After you go back, you will meet a few small sandbags, tie them to your legs, and insist on running every day, and you will be as light as a swallow." β
"Got it, master."
After Mu Ziqi returned to the house, he went to the main house.
"Mother, what kind of deep hatred do you have with the little-known Liu family, and you actually made Ji cheat her for 10,000 taels of silver."
Mrs. Mu was breathless, and said directly: "I just see that Liu Deputy Catcher is not pleasing to the eye, always pestering my son, what kind of character is my son, is it what a pariax like her can think?" β
Mu Zichen "Mother, where do you want to go, she is only eleven or twelve years old, and she is still a child." β
Mrs. Mu pinched her handkerchief and said, "Is eleven or twelve years old still young?" In a few years, you can get married at the age of fifteen. β
"Mother, she has never pestered me, and I don't like her, I just want to learn martial arts from her."
Madame Mu snorted and turned her head away from her son.
"Mother, don't do this kind of villain in the future."
Mama Zhang blushed on the side, isn't the villain she said that the little boy said.
Mrs. Mu was angry, "Did you talk to your mother like this?" After working hard to conceive a baby in October to raise you so big, you have such an attitude when you talk to me? β
"Mother, I will try to do things according to your heart in the future, you bring me the IOU first."
"Don't even think about it, I won't give it to you."
Mrs. Mu was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner.
Mu Zhifu is busy with affairs today, and he has added a meeting in the yamen.
When he returned to Mufu, he heard the maid say that the lady had not eaten at night.
walked into the inner room and persuaded: "Madam, the jade bonsai thing is what you did wrong, what kind of strength do you have to compete with the woman from the countryside, and you will lose more value." β
Although he was in the yamen all day, he was clear about the affairs of the house.
Mrs. Mu sat on the edge of the bed and bowed her head and twisted the handkerchief, "I just can't swallow this breath." β
Mu Zhifu patiently persuaded: "Madam, that little seventh girl is a capable person, and in the future, your husband and I, the prefect, will still need that little seventh girl, so this matter doesn't have to be done so absolutely." β
Mrs. Mu raised her head, "Didn't you say that you will be transferred every three years?" It's been more than three years, why are you still in Pengzhou City? β
"Today, the saint only cares about cultivating and becoming an immortal, and all the political affairs are wasted, but this Pengzhou City is actually not bad, and if you change to other places, it may not be better than here."
Mu Zhifu grabbed his wife's shoulders and looked at Mrs. Mu with warm eyes.
"You can send someone to return the IOU to the woman of the Liu family tomorrow."
