Chapter 020: A Family of Three
When Chen Ying woke up again, the sky was still dark, the candle in the corner of the room was extinguished, and a light snort came from the room.
It was the maid on duty who was still asleep.
Chen Ying lay on the bed for a while, then pushed the quilt and sat up.
There was a slight creak on the bed, and Zhishi, who was sleeping by the window, was awakened by the sound, rubbed his eyes and asked vaguely, "Girl, do you want water?" ”
"No, I want to get up." Chen Ying had already put on her single shirt and lifted the gauze tent with her hand.
Zhishi suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly turned over and got up, hurriedly put on his shoes and lit the candles, and then walked over to pull the veil for Chen Ying, and said, "The girl got up so early today." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to spare myself today, so I have to finish my homework earlier." Chen Ying covered her mouth and yawned.
When the weather is warmer, it is not so difficult to wake up in the morning, which is also a blessing.
After sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, she picked up the arrow sleeve that was attached to the head of the bed, put it on her body, and whispered: "Don't be in a hurry to wash up first, you go and help me prepare the bow and arrows, and I will go over immediately." ”
"So early?" Zhishi's hand stopped moving, and a worried look appeared on his face: "It's still cold outside, do you want to wait?" Wait until the sun comes out? ”
Chen Ying had already put on the men's arrow sleeves, was bending over to kick his boots, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's always warmer now than the previous two months." ”
Knowing the truth and knowing the temperament of his own girl, but no one can persuade him to come back to what has been decided, so he has to respond, stepped forward to open the curtain, called two little girls to come over to serve, and she went outside to arrange everything herself.
Chen Ying's homework every morning has three things: writing big characters, boxing, and archery.
She writes big characters differently from others, with iron pieces tied to her legs and wrists, and she is required to not bend her legs, shake her hands, and write obliquely when practicing. Whether it is written well or not is secondary, and it is important to practice wrist strength and leg strength with breathing.
As for boxing, it is a little free fighting technique inherited from Mr. Detective, and she only has a few moves, which is enough for self-defense at critical moments.
After doing these two things, it is time to practice archery.
Since mastering all the basic skills of archery three years ago, Chen Ying has developed a more detailed training plan, taking ten days as a unit, to practice complex archery skills in cycles, such as rapid fire that emphasizes continuous arrows, moving targets that combine wind speed and weather conditions, and obstacle targets invented by Chen Ying himself.
In order to improve her archery skills, she also asked someone to make a force bow that specializes in tensile strength to practice arm strength.
Now she can wield a longbow with a modern tense force of about 50 catties, and can guarantee a 70% hit rate.
After finishing the morning's homework, the sun also climbed the wall, Chen Ying finished washing, changed his clothes, and took Xunzhen and Zhishi to ask for peace to the Li family.
Li Shi just got up, perhaps because she had slept well the night before, her complexion was more ruddy than before, and Duanxiu's face also added a little luster, she was wearing a half-worn stone blue carved silk tuanhua jacket, and her head was tied with a cocoon-colored silk horse-faced skirt, and her hair was only homely and tidy, and she sat on the chaise longue by the window to recuperate.
The big girl Jiangyun was kneeling on the pedal, and was holding a beauty fist to beat Li's legs, when she saw Chen Ying coming in, she was busy saluting, Chen Ying waved her hand at her, and said with a smile: "Busy with your go." ”
Jiang Yun smiled and continued to beat Li's legs, and Chen Ying walked over and bowed: "Mother is fine." ”
"You're too early today, much better than your brother." Li Shi had already heard Chen Ying's voice, opened his eyes to look at her, and there was a tenderness between his eyebrows: "Look at you, your little face is red this morning." ”
"Is Mother feeling better?" Chen Ying sat down on the begonia stool under her and asked with concern.
Li smiled softly, his eyes full of love: "Good boy, thanks to you for calling a different doctor, I only took two pairs of that medicine and felt much better, I slept all night last night, and I felt that I had strength in my body when I got up this morning." ”
"That's good." A real smile swelled up on Chen Ying's face, and her clear eyes bent into crescent moons: "Mother's illness is urgent, if you use that warm swallowing medicine, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get better." Mrs. Zhang walked around in front of her grandmother for a long time, and she was always careful with her medication. ”
Prescriptions suitable for the elderly may not be useful for Lee's family.
"I don't think this Doctor Ma is bad, but he came out of the Rejuvenation Hall." Lee laughed.
Huichun Hall is a famous medical hall in Shengjing City, and Dr. Ma is a serious doctor, and he has nothing to say about his medical skills.
The mother and daughter talked a little gossip, and a little girl called outside: "Please say hello to the second master." ”
Li Shi laughed: "Your brother is finally here, let's have dinner earlier." He looked at Chen Ying again, and said softly: "I know everything about yesterday, you did a very good job, just as bad, our courtyard has to make a lot of noise today." ”
The mother and daughter smiled heartily, and put it aside, and Chen Jun also walked in and gave the Li family a salute.
Chen Jun's appearance is more like his father Chen Shao, he was born very handsome, wearing a bamboo green robe, the more he looks slender and straight, with a jasper hairpin running through his black bun, and he looks like a noble son, and Chen Ying is not like a brother and sister at all.
"The mother hurried to put the meal on the table, and the son was so hungry that his heart was close to his back." Not long after sitting down, Chen Jun began to shout hunger, and in an instant, he broke the all-round style.
The room was full of laughter, and Li couldn't help laughing, took a beauty fist in Jiang Yun's hand, and slapped him lightly: "If I make you a monkey, you will know that you are tossing blindly in front of me." ”
Chen Jun rubbed his shoulders and shouted that it hurt, and wanted to call his grandmother to rub it, which caused Li to laugh again, and then asked someone to put the meal on the table, and the family of three ate quietly, and then talked for a while, seeing that Li's face was tired, the brother and sister resigned.
"My brother did a very good job today, and my mother laughed three times, smiled seventeen times, and used half a bowl of porridge and half a pine oil roll." As soon as the brother and sister stepped on the verandah, Chen Ying praised Chen Jun.
Chen Jun was not happy with this praise, but looked indignant: "Why do you want me to do this every time? Can't you make your mother laugh, sister? I'm your brother, so you told me to do this? ”
Chen Ying looked at her with her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twisted to a strange angle: "Does my brother think I am suitable?" ”
Chen Jun stared at her face for a while, and shook his head dejectedly: "You are really inappropriate." ”
Then he held his chin with his hand, looked Chen Ying up and down, and his eyes showed a look of research: "I said third sister, although you are not beautiful, you are not ugly, but why can you smile so ugly?" ”
"How do I know?" Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth again, "I was born with this, just like brother, you are naturally handsome and chic." ”
Chen Jun liked to listen to these words the most, and immediately put his hands down, turned his back to Chen Ying in a posture of looking into the distance, and said with emotion: "Your brother and I are the first of the four beautiful men in the country, and I am naturally better looking than others." ”
