Chapter 98: Candidates

"In addition to the candles, take a bow and ten arrows. [No pop-ups. 】”

It is rare that Sizhen is willing to agree to show his hand, although everyone else plays the piano and sings, and the requirement of candles, bows and arrows is a bit strange, Yuechan still sent a little maid to get red candles and bows and arrows, and also sent a maid downstairs to tell her father Dai Liangchen about it.

In this way, everyone who came to Dai's house as a guest knew that Sizhen was going to show his talents, and they were extremely curious at home, wanting to know what was going on, but the ladies were upstairs, even if they stretched their necks, they couldn't see it, and they only hoped that Sizhen would think that the upstairs venue was small, and they would come downstairs to demonstrate in public in the spacious flower hall.

This is Heshuo Gege's talent, even if she just blows out those candles, it is very exciting.

I heard that there are bows and arrows, is it possible to shoot the candle flame with arrows? The candle flame is not an ordinary arrow target, and the arrow is extinguished by fire, which is not a little difficult, even if the king of Dingnan was back then, he may not be able to do it.

For a while, everyone was full of emotion.

There are those who are old, and they sigh that this Zhen Gege is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and among the guests who arrived today, many of them are military generals, who does not have two brushes in their hands, if she does a good job, in case something goes wrong, it will fall into the prestige of the Kong family in vain.

Only Sun Yanling and Qi Dongping didn't say anything, and they looked confident.

The red candle was taken, and Sizhen took a few and asked, "I wonder which sister is interested in cooperating with me?" ”

The girls looked at each other, not knowing what Sizhen wanted to do, and those who wanted to stammer, had already taken a few steps forward.

At this time, Yuechan came back to her senses, she couldn't help but change her face, and asked cautiously: "Gege, you don't plan to use someone to hold this candle, right?" ”

As soon as they heard Yuechan's words, the girls who stood up immediately retreated.

Sizhen nodded and smiled: "That's right, I don't know which sister is interested in cooperating with me?" I need three people. She asked the maid to bring out nine red candles.

She looked around, and no one dared to agree.

"Otherwise, go downstairs and ask those sons to see if they dare?" Yue'e suggested softly.

"Then how can I do it, no matter how I say it, Gege is also a woman, how can I ask a man to cooperate with her?" Yuechan scolded in a low voice, she turned to Tian and said, "Mother, arrange for three maids to bring fire candles to Gege." ”

Tian looked at the maids in the hall, and the twenty-year-old maids suddenly turned pale, some of them were timid, and their feet were weak.

The sons and ladies of these aristocratic families will make fun of people, and if they play archery like this, most of them will shoot people to death, and if they shoot them, it is just a cheap life, at most they will send some money to the family...... Who cares if they live or die!

The maids also retreated, and none of them took the initiative to step forward.

Tian was naming the arrow, Sizhen turned the feather arrow around his fingers, looked at her and said: "This matter must be voluntary, otherwise when I shoot the arrow, the person holding the fire candle will lose his head if his feet are soft and his hands are soft, and this arrow will not know where it will go, and it will not work." ”

She looked at Yuechan and said with a smile: "Why, after a few years, Yuechan, don't you believe in my kung fu?" ”

Tian Shi saw her name of her daughter, hesitated for a moment, and pushed Yuechan: "Since Gege can afford you, you can try it, you have played since you were a child, you should know that Gege is excellent in martial arts, it's okay." ”

Yuechan looked at her mother in surprise, she had seen Sizhen shoot arrows before, and eight out of ten times could shoot at the arrow target, but there were still two times that were not accurate, and this time it was a fire candle, a fire candle! It's a game of life and death.

Thinking of the repeated confessions of her parents before that they would welcome Sizhen at any cost, Yuechan felt a chill.

For the benefit of the Dai family, the father's fame, can the mother even give up her as a daughter?

For a while, Yuechan felt disheartened, she walked up to Sizhen, and said with a white face: "Thanks to Gege, count me in." ”

Sizhen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my archery skills are better now than before." ”

She looked at the girls: "Is there anyone else you are willing to be with Sister Yuechan?" I'm good at archery, don't worry. I've seen your father and brother practice archery at home, and I guess that their level is not much higher than mine, and there are any sisters who practice martial arts, just so that they can practice their guts. ”

None of the fathers and brothers in the family can hit the heart of the arrow and hit every shot. Even if Gege is a sharpshooter with a hundred shots, it is impossible to extinguish all nine candles! Thinking of this, as soon as the girls came into contact with Sizhen's gaze, they immediately avoided it, even if there were a few martial arts inside, after thinking about it, they didn't dare to step forward.

"Really? Then I'll shoot three arrows today. Sizhen took three of the nine red candles.

Yuejuan, who didn't speak much, suddenly stepped forward, gritted her teeth and said, "Count me in!" ”

Sizhen didn't expect Yuejuan to look a little weak, but she could have such courage, smiled approvingly at her, and took out three red candles and handed them to the thrush.

Just as she was about to turn around, Wu Niang stood up: "Although I don't practice martial arts, I also want to practice my guts." ”

Sizhen was a little surprised.

Among Guoan's children, this Wu Niang and Yu Xuan are the same mother's compatriots, their appearance is first-class and good, they love to be clean since they were children, and they even have to cry for a long time when their shoes are stained with soil, so she never loves Wu Niang to play, saying that let Wu Niang grow up, and give her a sister-in-law, it is purely a joke, because at that time their brother and sister were the demon kings of the mixed world in Guilin City, although her brother was quieter than her, he was also like a mud monkey all day long, when she pinched Wu Niang's chin and said that, and Wu Niang cried angrily.

Thinking of Ma Xiulan's old story mentioned again, the look on Wu Niang's face ...... Sizhen felt that Wu Niang was willing to stand up, but I was afraid that it was because of her brother Kong Tingxun.

Sighing slightly again in her heart, she smiled gently at Wu Niang: "Okay, but let's say it first, put the candle on your head for a while, Wu Niang can't be weak, otherwise I'm afraid that the arrow will shoot to the people behind." ”

Hearing her say this, the other girls who didn't come forward were even more glad that they were reckless.

Seeing Sizhen ask Tian to arrange for someone to cut the nine candles into one-third of the length, the women gasped.

This candle is short, but it is about to get close to the scalp, and if you want to shoot a little lower, won't it cost people? Again, if the candle is deflected on the head, even if it is not hit by an arrow, it will burn the hair.

It's terrible, where is this Zhen Gege's performance talent, it is clearly pampered and capricious, and he doesn't take people's lives seriously.

Thinking that Sizhen used to catch a small insect from time to time and throw it among them, seeing them crying in fright, laughing at those things, everyone suddenly remembered that Zhen Gege used to be in the past, but he had the name of the female demon king in Guilin City, and now this Zhenjing and square appearance is all deceitful.

In the past, she relied on the Dingnan Mansion to bully them, but now she has the support of the Queen Mother and the emperor, but I am afraid that it will be even worse.

How could they think that this Gege is a good person! At this time, even the Tian family secretly regretted that he shouldn't have called Yuechan up, thinking that it was just a little dangerous, how could he have thought that it would be so dangerous!

Even the men downstairs listened to it, and they all said that Sizhen was messing around and joking with human life, and some even asked Dai Liangchen to stop Sizhen's behavior.

Yu Xuan said: "I think that there is no gold diamond and no porcelain work, Gege dares to do this, it must be because she is a master and bold, and the sisters are willing to cooperate with her, so don't worry about it!" ”

But he was thinking in his heart that if he waited for Wu Niang to make a little difference, he would just use this as an excuse to press that Kong Sizhen.

Yuxuan likes gentle and charming girls, in his opinion, although Sizhen was born beautiful, but too hard, not suitable for wife, and another, according to Sizhen's identity, if he wants to marry home, he has to surrender to Sizhen, which is equivalent to inviting a great god home to offer, for Yuxuan, this is unbearable.

But in today's situation, Sizhen is obviously not as easy to handle as ordinary girls, as she grows up day by day, the power of the family to control the feudal domain will have to be returned sooner or later, only marriage can turn the power of the Kong family into something for a long time, so he urgently needs to hold a handle of Sizhen in his hand, because of this urgency, he can't even take care of his sister's life.

It was Yuejuan and the three of them, although their faces were pale, they still did not change their words and flinched.

Because the upstairs venue is small, Sizhen and Yuechan put on their hats and went downstairs.

Fortunately, after the Manchurians entered the customs, they did not pay as much attention to male and female visits as the Han people, and with the identity of Sizhen, it was impossible to completely avoid men.

The other girls didn't care about any etiquette rules at this time, they ran up the stairs in twos and threes to look down, and there was the young one, so they simply ran to the wide hall downstairs with Sizhen, and later, except for a few older ladies who stayed upstairs reservedly, leaning on the railing and looking down, most people chose to be as close as possible to the wide hall to see the excitement.

"I know that under my father's command, there is no shortage of sharpshooters who are all shots, even the uncles and uncles and brothers who are here today, and there are also many good archery skills, who can hit every shot within thirty feet, please raise your hand."

More than a dozen people raised their hands.

"I don't know if anyone here today thinks that he can shoot that apple?"

After going down, Sizhen did not immediately let Yuechan and the three of them be the target of the arrow, but at the other end of the wide hall, someone tied an apple with a string and hung it down from the upper floor. It was more than thirty feet away from the place where Sizhen was standing, and it was more than thirty feet away from the apple.

Seeing that the apple was swaying, it was more than half smaller than the arrow target that he practiced on weekdays, and the raised hand was suddenly less than half, and among the people who still raised his hand, there was Yuxuan.

"Is there anyone who can shoot the string?"

Only Yu Yuxuan raised his hand alone.

"How about another arrow to hit the apple before it hits the ground?"

Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment, put down his hand, looked at Sizhen, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Gege can do it?" ”

Sizhen smiled, opened his hand and said, "Thrush, bring a bow." ”
