Chapter 40: Humility and Honesty
Wei Penglan didn't expect her brother and Wang Xiaoming to have such a play.
chattered along the way: "Xiao Ming, let's talk about it carefully, the process of your acquaintance with my brother, I really didn't expect that my brother would have such a thing as curiosity." ”
Wen Ming listened to her take a bite of my brother and my brother, and felt that the heart she had just was simply a waste of slag. said that the bitterness and hatred are deep, and I just wanted to kill my relatives with righteousness, and I will love each other.
Wen Ming briefly talked about the situation at the time, and then emphasized again: "To make it clear again, it's not an acquaintance, it's not even a meeting, at most, your brother has seen me, we just met in the school, he is a master, and I am a student." ”
Wei Penglan glanced at her: "I know, I know, I'll just say it casually, why do you care so much?" ”
Wen Ming was stunned, yes, she didn't know Wei Penglan's temperament, why was she in such a hurry to clear up the relationship!
It seems that she is still in love.
That's someone else's mind, and I care so much about what to do.
Since Xia Youmian knew that the relationship between Wen Ming and the dean was not ordinary, he felt that Wen Ming was very powerful.
Although Qu Yan and him are still clan relatives, he never dares to talk to Qu Yan.
So Xia Youmian is very obedient, and climbs the mountain with Wen Ming every day, although he is very tired, he has no complaints. After all, Wen Ming, a woman is also climbing.
The riding and archery class is not arranged in the academy intensively, and it has been four days since the last riding and archery class.
When Wen Ming and Wei Penglan came, the people should have almost arrived.
There are a lot more men, although Wei Shizi is currently beautiful, there are still not many women who are not afraid of hardships and dangers. The woman is missing Qian Simin, Lu Yaling is still there, and there are more Liu Yuerong and a person Wen Ming didn't expect, the second daughter of the second uncle Wen Yan, Wen Ying, is one year younger than Wen Ming.
Wen Ming glanced at her thoughtfully, she was really young, calm and moderate!
Wei Penglan looked at Wen Ming and asked, "Know?" ”
Wen Ming shook her head: "I don't know, I look very calm, and I'm a little curious." ”
"The concubine of the second room of the Wen family, nothing special, I don't understand your curiosity." Wei Penglan still introduced to Wen Ming, although she didn't have much contact with the ladies in Beijing, as long as she was on the stage a little, she still knew most of them.
"What did you say she was rushing for?" Wen Ming asked.
"Although, I think that the people who come to this riding and archery class now are basically aimed at my brother, but as you said, you should be low-key, the situation of the Wen family is a little complicated, you ask this, I also think it is a bit interesting for her to choose riding and archery." Wei Penglan thought about it for a while and found a problem.
"yes, I think it's funny, too!"
Everyone knows that the old marquis of the Wen family attaches great importance to the name of the literati, and has always wanted to be among the ranks of the literati family, Wen Sanye took the martial arts path and almost broke off the relationship with the Wen family, not to mention the girl's family. So why did Wen Ying come to this riding and archery class?
Wei Penglan saw Wen Ming pondering, and suddenly looked at Wen Ming with a deep smile and said, "You are also a little interesting!" ”
After hearing the tea, I realized it later, and I didn't explain, but said casually: "I've always been very interesting!" ”
is used to getting along with Wei Penglan without scruples, and Wen Ming forgets Wei Penglan's keenness.
Wei Penglan can feel that Wen Ming has a secret, but she can be measured not to explore, and she doesn't ask, which is rare for Wen Ming.
She also understands Wen Ming to a certain extent, and she has always been a person who has nothing to do with herself, you don't care what others rush, whether others are interesting or not, and you also say that others are interesting.
Then it is obvious that you know Wen Ying. So just now you lied.
Wei Penglan listened to Wen Ming's boast, looked at her, and smiled meaningfully.
Wen Ming still explained: "There are some things that can't be explained, so I can't say, I do know her, but I can't tell you how I know her." ”
"It's rare for you to explain so much, so I won't pursue it!" Wei Penglan didn't pay much attention to it.
Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately you didn't shout at me: You are lying, you are deceiving. Otherwise, she felt that she might not have Wei Jiyan's good temper.
Today's riding range looks much more solemn than before, with many bows and arrows, moving targets, and a row of horses in the racecourse.
Wei Jiyan first made arrangements on the man's side, and then came to the woman's side.
said: "Everyone chooses a bow in hand, chooses a target platform to stand on, five arrows per person, Wei Penglan, you teach everyone if their posture is incorrect, and then record everyone's results, and then hand it over to me." ”
Liu Yuerong listened to Wei Jiyan's arrangement, and retorted unconvinced: "Why is Wei Penglan recorded? ”
"Wait until you're better than her to ask me that question." Wei Jiyan is not merciful.
"Master, are you sure that no one can surpass Wei Penglan?" Liu Yuerong was influenced by his brother Liu Yunxiao and had no good impression of the Wei family.
"Whoever has an opinion, mention it yourself!" Wei Jiyan glanced at Liu Yuerong lightly.
Wei Jiyan's meaning is very clear, others can't, that's someone else's business, you can't care, I just need to make sure you can't compare.
Wei Penglan laughed sarcastically, her brother is quite funny when he scolds others.
In fact, Liu Yuerong's riding and archery is also okay, and the arrows can reach more than seven rings, no wonder she has the confidence to choose riding and shooting, and Lu Yaling is obviously very perfunctory in her previous classes, and she retains her strength, and this practice is all nine rings or the bull's-eye.
didn't expect Wen Ying to be able to shoot seven rings, it should be said that she is similar to Liu Yuerong. I don't know if it's the real level.
Wen Ming casually ejaculated and paddled the bottom, but her ring numbers were: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Because they all stand on their own target platforms, they only occasionally look at the approximate results of others, so they only know that Wen Ming's grades are not good.
Wei Penglan looked at her results and smiled.
Wei Jiyan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, "Wang Xiaoming come over here." After reading it, I called Wen Ming over.
Wen Ming walked to Wei Jiyan's side, kept a certain distance, and asked very politely, "Master, what are your orders?" ”
"Try it at the moving target at the men's range."
Wei Penglan also looked at Wen Ming expectantly, pulled her and said, "Let's go, go and try!" "Finally something fun.
"I don't want it!"
Wei Penglan looked at her with a smile: "There are so many stinky men watching, you shouldn't be shy, right?" ”
"Ahem...... Low-key and low-key, be humble, so many people watch, I don't want to be too famous! Wen Ming said, looking at Wei Jiyan frowning, he still couldn't help but sweat for Wei Penglan, is it really appropriate for you to take your brother's face seriously and classify him as a stinky man.
After listening to Wen Ming's words, Wei Jiyan remembered Wei Qi's words, and she told the young man that I would be very famous in the future.
Don't want to be famous now?
Wen Ming still said to Wei Jiyan: "Master, if this is not a necessary requirement, I think it is better not to, I am afraid that those hard-working students will be hurt in their hearts!" ”
Wei Jiyan heard this unashamed words, and laughed for a while: "Oh, are you sure? ”
Wen Ming nodded: "After all, people's talent is too surprising, I have mastered the correct posture of holding the bow, I feel that I may be a genius in archery, whether it is moving or stationary, it should not be a problem to hit the bull's-eye every time." ”
"Why isn't it necessarily a problem?" Wei Jiyan asked rhetorically.
"Why don't I shoot an arrow?"
"Let's go!" He asked Wen Ming to stand on the target platform just now, Wei Jiyan did not express any opinion on Wen Ming's words, and only when anything was proved could he know whether it was a joke, an exaggeration or a truth.
"How many rings?" Wen Ming didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"The line between the sixth and seventh rings."
With a command, Wen Ming's arrow was shot. Sure enough, it was the designated location, and it landed on the ring line!
Wei Jiyan glanced at Wen Ming appreciatively, and then asked, "Know your own problem?" ”
Wen Ming continued to nodded: "I know, so I said that it shouldn't be a problem, the strength is not enough, so the speed of the arrow is not good, the power is not enough, for a long time, it will be lost because of the loss of strength, I am not a qualified archer at present, of course I don't plan to be an archer." ”
Wei Jiyan asked again, "Can you ride a horse?" ”
Wen Ming continued: "No, but it shouldn't be difficult, I'll give it a try!" ”
Wei Penglan was really dumbfounded, didn't she say that she wanted to be low-key and modest?
So she asked: "This is your humble way, 'genius', 'just learn it', and now you are so humble?" ”
"No, be humble to others, be honest to your Master!"
"Honest indeed!" Wei Jiyan nodded, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He found that the corners of his mouth seemed to smile more, although the woman in front of him looked like a good student, seeking truth from facts, and speaking calmly, but you could completely feel the flying and even arrogant heart.
It makes people laugh.
"Why did you choose to shoot on horseback?" Wei Jiyan seems to have a lot of questions about Wen Ming.
"In order to get the first place in the school exam at the end of the year."
"To enter the Sifang Palace?"
"Yes!"
The imperial court will choose Xiangshan Academy every year, and the first place of the six arts of Qianqiu Academy will enter the Sifang Palace, and there are also places in other academies in the capital, which is for the four years of the Four Kingdoms Competition, and the top three of each item of the Sifang Hall will participate in the competition, and if you win the first place in the competition, you can get the Quartet Order.
Those who have received the Order of the Four Directions can walk freely in the four countries, do anything without paying taxes, and can be masters in the academies of the four countries as long as they wish.
This is a great honor for anyone.
And the next big competition will be in March next year.
"You know, if I don't come to teach riding and archery, the women's first name is meaningless." Wei Jiyan still didn't understand.
"This year, there will be a co-ed exam, I have bribed the dean, and he has already agreed." Wen Ming betrayed Qu Yan without hesitation.
"It's amazing, and I still have a friendship with the dean." Wei Penglan is constantly refreshing her understanding of Wen Ming.
Wei Jiyan frowned, thinking that maybe he came here to be a master, maybe there was also this factor.
But he didn't care about that.
"So what are your thoughts on riding and archery lessons?" Wei Jiyan asked, since she had already confessed, it meant that she had her own ideas about riding and archery lessons.
"My idea is that I can not go on, I will exercise my strength in my own way, Peng Lan can teach me to ride a horse, I hope the master can agree." Wen Ming looked up at Wei Jiyan, her eyes were very persistent.
Wei Jiyan somehow, although the girl in front of him was obedient, a master, he sounded a little awkward, but when he saw her, he felt inexplicably comfortable and even happy.
He didn't want to refuse her request, but this request was never to come to his class again, and he didn't know why it was a little uncomfortable.
"Let Peng Lan teach you how to ride a horse, you won't need to ride and shoot in the future, you can take the school exam at the end of the year." Wei Jiyan said lightly, not seeing any emotion.
"Why are you so honest with me?" Wei Jiyan asked suddenly, it is obvious that when the master taught before, even if it was perfunctory, he would still come to class, although you had this idea, but you did not put it forward.
"Because you are a wise master, honesty can reduce the time spent on communication and achieve better results."
Wei Jiyan smiled bitterly, so honest, it makes people a little unpleasant!
Wen Ming knew that Wei Jiyan had a good relationship with her father and eldest brother, but she still didn't want to have too much contact for the time being.
If there is too much contact, it is more likely to be sent to the pile at that time.
But in the end, she doesn't know whether she rejects or accepts the sending pile.
