Zhu Yanlan took the half-stone bow in surprise, looked at the delicate lines carved on the bow and arrow and the huge gem on it, and tried the hardness of the bowstring, and suddenly felt a little pride in her heart.

Li Luo and others are going out hunting, and the Zhu family knows everything.

However, among the people of the Zhu family, only Zhu Youning, who lived outside, was exposed to Li Tuobei's light and was invited, and the rest, even the most outstanding Zhu Yanfeng, were not invited.

Now he, Zhu Yanlan, has won this place. I also got the bow and arrow given by Li Gongzi!

Zhu Yanlan carefully put the bow and arrow on her back, took the quiver again, glanced at Zhu Youning up and down, and said with a smile: "It seems that your relationship with Li Tuobei is really not ordinary." ”

Zhu Youning heard the ridicule in his words, and only pretended not to understand, and said with a worried face: "I have already fulfilled your conditions, will you not publicize this matter." ”

"No, of course not." That's weird!

Zhu Yanlan looked at Zhu Youning's eyes, as if she was fooling a milk doll, and waved her hand perfunctorily: "Okay, you go home quickly, I'll go back too." ”

Zhu Youning nodded obediently, and watched Zhu Yanlan walk away with a bow and arrow on her back and a cheerful back with a quiver.

Bailing and Thrush didn't quite understand what Zhu Youning was doing, but neither of them said much, just asked, "Girl, where are we going now?" ”

"Let's go home first. I'm sure he'll be back soon. ”

Zhu Yanlan entered the Zhu family's mansion at this time, and proudly put the delicate bow and arrow on his arm, and walked to the courtyard of the third room in high spirits.

At this time, the injuries on his body and face were no longer painful, and when he passed by the second room, he saw that Zhu Yanfeng was about to go out, so he greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Feng."

Zhu Yanfeng saw the bow in his hand, and his eyes darkened: "Fifth brother, where is this going?" ”

"Just now, Li Gongzi invited me to go hunting with me the day after tomorrow, and gave me a bow." As he spoke, he raised the bow and arrow in his hand at Zhu Yanfeng.

Zhu Yanfeng's eyes became more and more complicated, the hands in his sleeves couldn't help but clench, and the smile on his face became gentler.

"Really? This is very good, this bow is also very beautiful, and this gem should be worth a fortune. ”

Zhu Yanlan plucked the bowstring with her fingers, and the bow and arrow made a "buzzing" sound, "We haven't seen any treasures in our family, and the benefit of this bow and arrow is not in the gems, but in the friendship that Li Gongzi gave him sincerely." ”

"Li Gongzi can give it to you, it seems that he values you very much."

When Zhu Yanlan spoke, she kept staring at Zhu Yanfeng's face, wanting to see jealousy, envy and other emotions on his face.

But Zhu Yanfeng kept smiling, without any flaws.

Zhu Yanlan was a little deflated.

But don't worry, there is not only one Zhu Yanfeng in the family.

After Zhu Yanlan said goodbye to Zhu Yanfeng, she went to find Zhu Yanguang again.

Zhu Yanguang is a second-room concubine, he does not study business on weekdays, only focuses on the imperial examination, and follows the same path as Zhu Huating. Zhu Yanguang has always known the news that rich and noble people like Li Luo are temporarily living at home, but he has no chance to get close, and when he heard that Li Luo is going to hunt, he actually wants to go there very much, make friends with some rich and noble people, and pave the way for his future career, but he just thinks about it, and has no chance to achieve it at all.

Now seeing that Zhu Yanlan got Li Luo's invitation and got such a good bow and arrow, Zhu Yanguang couldn't help but say a few sour words with envy.

Zhu Yanlan listened very happily, and promised Zhu Yanguang that he would bring him some game back, so he said goodbye proudly.

Back in the room, Zhu Yanlan hung the bow and arrow and quiver on the wall, looked at it happily for a while, and then ordered the little servant to go to the kitchen to carry the food box.

Who knew that before the little guy with him went out, a kid rushed outside to spread the word.

"The old lady instructed the whole family to go to the big study in the outer courtyard immediately to discuss important matters."

Zhu Yanlan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's it, don't go to carry the food box first, and wait for the master to come back." ”

"Yes." The little maid should be, so he served Zhu Yanlan to change his clothes and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door of the study, I saw the old lady sitting in the first place, the second master, the third master, and all the brothers in the house gathered here.

Zhu Yanlan's face was colorful, and naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. But he didn't mind at all, and smiled at everyone in pain.

Old lady Zhu glanced at Zhu Yanlan's face, then looked away as if he didn't see it, and said in a deep voice: "There is a big incident in the house." A few days ago, a group of distinguished guests lost a treasure. ”

Zhu Huazhang said curiously: "Father, are you talking about Li Luo's son?" ”

"Yes." Old Lady Zhu was unprecedentedly serious, "Young Master Li Luo lost a family heirloom bow. It was left over from his grandfather's generation, and it was extremely important to him. Li Gongzi lost this treasure, and did not immediately publicize it, nor did he report it to the government, but came to tell me.

"I'll tell you what this bow and arrow looks like, and if any of you have seen it and has a clue, I'll talk back at once! Our Zhu family is not so poor that they can't afford a bow and arrow, and if you borrow it for a few days, do you still have to steal people's things to pay for room and board? ”

Old Lady Zhu's gaze swept over everyone more sternly, and said, "It is a half-stone bow, the bow and arrows are carved with intricate patterns, and it is also inlaid with a huge gem, and the quiver is made of cowhide, and there are ten arrows there. ”

Every time Old Lady Zhu said a word, Zhu Yanlan's face turned a little pale, and in the end, her face was like paper, and her body trembled unconsciously.

"Mr. Li is a distinguished guest, I repeat it again. Now you go back at once, and all sides will give me a thorough investigation, and even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will find this bow. Otherwise, we won't need the hundreds of years old face of our Zhu family in the future! ”

Old lady Zhu is always smiling, even if he encounters a big thing, he has not been so stern, this time he was so violent, which really surprised the whole family.

In this way, everyone is aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Zhu Yanlan didn't know how she left the study in the outer courtyard.

His heart beat like a drum, and he rushed back to his yard, his head buzzing all the time, and a voice kept repeating "I'm being pitted, I'm being pitted."

A lot of people should have seen him holding the bow just now.

What if someone says he stole the bow and arrows?

That's right, he bit out Zhu Youning's little miscellaneous hair, and said that she stole it!

But what's wrong with it, Zhu Youning is a little hairy girl, and there are no powerful people around him, Li Luo still has a sturdy guard by his side, such a precious bow and arrow must be properly collected, how did Zhu Youning steal it and frame it for him?

Perhaps, not stolen?

When Zhu Yanlan thought about it, the hairs all over her body were about to explode, so she panicked and found a piece of cloth, wrapped the bow and arrows and quivers, avoided people all the way, sneakily got out of the house from a hidden dog hole in the corner of the small garden of the guest house, and ran to Zhu Youning's house.

Zhu Youning was just about to practice calligraphy at this time, when he heard someone from outside coming to pass the word.

"Fifth Master Lan is here."

"Please come in, cousin." Zhu Youning stood behind the painting case and put down the pen casually.
