Chapter 33: Riding and Archery Lessons
Wen Ming would read books in the library for an hour every day after school.
In the women's dormitory, Liu Yuerong and others were already impatient.
It was dark, and Wen Ming returned to the school from the library building.
Liu Yuerong was angry when she saw Wen Ming's face.
blocked her way and asked, "Where are you, and how many official residences do your parents have?" ”
Wen Ming raised her eyes and looked, the girl in front of her, fourteen or fifteen years old, looked just right. The appearance of the invincible is also undisguised.
Wen Ming naturally knows.
After returning to Wen's house, she didn't go out of the door, and at the banquet at home, she finally went out under the persuasion of her family.
The girl in front of her seemed to be even more incredible: "Look, this is not the daughter of the legendary Wen family, she still has the face to go out, if I were her, I would be embarrassed to live!" ”
She was so angry and ashamed that she cried a lot, went back to her yard, and refused to go out again.
The memory in Wen Ming's mind flashed, she looked at Liu Yuerong and asked calmly, "Who are you?" ”
Someone next to him helped: "This is the second lady from the Liu family of Huaiguo Mansion!" The words Huaiguo Mansion also accentuated the tone.
Everyone saw that Wen Ming's expression did not change when she heard Huaiguo Mansion, only to see her eyes look straight at Liu Yuerong and ask, "Then may I ask Miss Liu, whose family am I, and what does it matter to you?" ”
What the...... Everyone gasped.
What did she say?
What's the matter with you?
How could she, how dare she say that!
Liu Yuerong was stunned in place, Wen Ming's eyes were too sharp, and she was stunned for a while.
After Wen Ming asked, he didn't pay attention to them anymore, bypassed, and left directly.
Liu Yuerong came back to her senses and only saw Wen Ming's back.
Suddenly shouted: "You stop me!" ”
Wen Ming acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to walk forward!
Someone stepped forward to dissuade her: "Yuerong, don't be impulsive first, it's not too late to do it after you find out her details." This is still the task assigned by Lu Yaling when he learns, and he persuades Dian Yuerong.
Liu Yuerong was impulsive, but she still maintained a trace of sanity, she looked at Wen Ming's back resentfully, knowing that even if she stopped someone now, she couldn't do anything to her, and not to mention the women's fight, her reputation was completely ruined, and the consequences of fighting in private in the academy were also very serious.
The dean is the concubine of Princess Zhenning, and his status is extraordinary, so it can be said that except for the emperor, no one's face can be sold.
was expelled from school, and the whole family's face was not good-looking.
There's always a chance to clean her up!" Liu Yuerong's expression was fierce, and she thought hatefully.
I already have a plan in mind.
On the one hand, everyone speculated that Wen Ming was very rich, and on the other hand, Wen Ming was too fearless. Therefore, they are all a little jealous.
So in the following days, Wen Ming lived a fairly peaceful life.
Students in the college can choose to study the six arts.
Scholars naturally have some elegant preferences, so shooting is unpopular in the academy. Not many people learn.
And Wen Ming was not interested in anything else, and he didn't want to waste time, so he chose to shoot alone.
The master who taught was a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Zhao, and he was not very attentive. Because there are not many people who study hard.
The other subjects of the Six Arts are taught separately for men and women, and only archery is taught together. Because there are no more than three female students who choose to shoot the royal family, and there are drunkards who don't mean to drink.
So the venue was divided into two sides, and one master taught at the same time.
When Wen Ming came to the teaching field, there were two women, one was wearing a good-looking riding costume, and her posture was not bad, but the arrows that could be shot could not reach the target at all, and the gentleman was too lazy to care.
The other is Lu Yaling, she doesn't have any tricks, her archery is decent, she doesn't miss the target, and she has more than six rings. For a woman, it can be said to be good.
Lu Yaling was a little surprised when she saw Wen Ming, but she still nodded to her in a friendly manner, obviously knowing Wen Ming.
Seeing the newcomer, the gentleman came over as usual and asked, "Have you practiced before?" ”
Wen Ming shook her head: "No! ”
As a modern soldier, she has also played the sport of archery, and she is all comrades-in-arms, wanting to experience the different feelings of playing with guns and archery.
But Wen Ming at this time is naturally impossible to learn.
Coupled with a cursory look, there was a difference between the bow here and the modern one.
Zhao Fuzi pointed at Lu Yaling and said to Wen Ming: "Take a male at will, and practice by yourself according to her posture first!" ”
Then I went to instruct the male students on the other side.
Wen Ming took the bow and tried it, the bow body is smaller than the modern bow, but the elasticity is greater.
She tried it, and the index, middle and ring fingers were hooked together, and when the bow was full, the angle between the fingers and the bowstring was very small, and some squeezed the fingers, and she lost her head.
She took the bow and studied it carefully, it seems that there is still a difference, and it still doesn't work after trying again!
The woman who was in a very good-looking posture over there was relieved when she saw that Wen Ming was not very good, and she thought that she had the same thoughts as herself.
When Wei Penglan came over, she happened to see Wen Ming's missed arrow.
I thought it was another nymphomaniac.
When you walk in, you can smell tea.
Surprised: "Why are you?" ”
Wen Ming also smiled when she saw Wei Penglan: "I didn't expect to see Miss Wei here." ”
"Why are you here?" Wei Penglan was still a little unconvinced.
"Why, can't I come? I'm here to study. Wen Ming laughed, and she was also surprised to see Wei Penglan.
"Of course you can, you are doing business and going to school, you are really amazing!" Wei Penglan was sincerely admired.
"Speaking of business, I haven't thanked Miss Wei yet, without Miss Wei's publicity, my business is not as good as it is now."
"Thank me for what to do, you gave me such beautiful clothes, I just told the truth." Wei Penglan didn't care.
"I didn't expect such a good embroidery woman to come to learn to ride and shoot, you shouldn't have the same plan as the one over there, right?" Wei Penglan's eyes suddenly widened, and her mouth turned to the side, with a very disdainful expression.
If Wen Ming dared to say that she really had the same plans as the woman next to her, it was estimated that Wei Penglan would immediately turn her face.
Wen Ming pretended to be puzzled: "What is the plan of that person over there?" ”
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Dressed like a flower butterfly, archery can pose as a weak willow to help the wind, in addition to being able to hook up with a blind man, what else can he do? Wei Penglan's face was full of mockery.
Wen Ming snorted and laughed.
This girl is so funny!
Then he asked seriously: "What do you think of my body compared to a flower butterfly?" ”
"You are just wearing a rag, and your face is better than a flower butterfly!" Wei Penglan found that Wen Ming had a very good appetite for her.
"Thank you Miss Wei for the compliment, I'm here to practice riding and archery. I tried it and found that it didn't work. Wen Ming said with a rather weak expression.
"You try again, I'll see!"
There is a ready-made teacher, it seems that he is still a reliable teacher, Wen Ming decisively tried again, it is still the problem just now, the hook bow will squeeze the fingers, and it is not smooth.
Wei Penglan was a little surprised when she saw it, Wen Ming's standing posture was very standard, and the strength was not bad for a woman. But there's something wrong with the way the strings are clearly hooked.
"Are you really shooting an arrow for the first time?" Wei Penglan asked.
"Naturally, I don't look like the first time?" Wen Ming asked rhetorically.
Her experience determines that she must be the first time, so everything that is not like the first time is due to talent! After all, the future will prove that she has good genes.
"It's not like it, your posture is very standard, very neat, not at all like you haven't used a bow and arrow, but it's obviously the wrong way to hook the string, and it's really a mistake that you make when you use it for the first time. You try hooking the string with your thumb and pressing your thumb with your middle and index fingers. Wei Penglan clearly pointed out her problem.
Wen Ming hooked the string in the way Wei Penglan said, and the force of pulling the bow directly acted on the thumb, and the bow was really handy.
Then choose a position, stand still, set up an arrow, raise a bow, aim, open a bow, let go, and slow down...... In one go, hit the bull's-eye.
Wei Penglan couldn't help but applaud: "Okay! That's great! ”
Wen Ming's appearance was like a seasoned archer, and she had seen a lot of them in the Wei family.
Wei Penglan's cheers inevitably attracted the attention of the side.
"What is there to be proud of, but to shoot an arrow, it's just luck!" The woman dressed in fancy clothes was not convinced.
"Then why don't you have a good luck, don't you hit the bull's-eye, you can just shoot the target!" Wei Penglan was sarcastic.
"You ......," the woman couldn't say.
Lu Yaling persuaded him: "Simin, don't talk about it, if you can hit the bull's-eye, Miss Wang is indeed powerful." ”
The woman is none other than Qian Simin, the daughter of the martial arts general Qian Shen.
Wen Ming didn't look at Qian Simin, but looked at Lu Yaling funny, although this girl was persuading, but with the tone of a judge, the posture of the superior was very good.
Wei Penglan has no feelings for Lu Yaling, because Lu Yaling is a walking benchmark, a model of women, smart and dexterous, outstanding in learning, even riding and archery are excellent, always elegant, and always smiling.
She has always felt that Lu Yaling is like a created dummy, which is used as a model, which is not real.
But if others speak well, you can't speak badly, so she didn't speak.
Wen Ming is still a little curious about this legendary child of other people's families in her memory, and the most curious point is that this other person's child should be about to reach the end of his life now, but he has not yet decided on a marriage at the age of eighteen.
She wasn't sure if the cousin in Xia Youmian's mouth was the one she was talking about, after all, the Lu family had many of his cousins.
Although in the memory of his previous life, the second brother would tell him a lot about the affairs of various families in the capital, and told her every day like a storyteller, as if she could understand a lot of things without going out, in fact, she knew that the second brother had always hoped that one day she could open her heart and go out, but she didn't have until she died.
But she is really like a listener and a storyteller, and she never gets distracted. So there are many interpersonal relationships that she doesn't have in her impression.
Is it the girl in front of her who is good friends with Liu Yuerong.
But she didn't have a good impression of the people in the Lu family, so Wen Ming became an impolite person: "Whether I have the strength or not, I don't need this young lady to make a conclusion." ”
"I don't know what to do, Ya Ling is helping you!" Qian Simin couldn't be angry.
"It's her business who she helps, and what does it have to do with me?" Wen Ming continued to be ignorant.
Lu Yaling felt that Wen Ming was hostile to her, and it was very strange that she took the initiative to express her friendliness and show hostility.
Even Wei Penglan was a little strange. To say that Wen Ming is just the owner of a clothing store, simply put, he is a small businessman, in the face of the powerful, not to mention making friends, how can he rush to take the initiative to offend people.
Although Lu Yaling felt strange, she still spoke: "Is there any misunderstanding between me and the girl?" ”
"Did we know each other before?" Wen Ming asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." Lu Yaling still maintained her good demeanor.
"I don't know, where did the misunderstanding come from."
"I've heard of girls." Lu Yaling continued, the meaning is obvious, hearsay can also lead to misunderstandings.
"I didn't expect me to be so famous, but I'm sorry, I haven't heard of you, it's Miss Yaling, this Miss Simin called your name just now." Wen Ming was teasing.
But those who heard it were not very comfortable in their hearts.
There aren't many people who haven't heard of Lu Yaling in the capital, but people just say they haven't heard of you, so you can't refute it and say it's impossible!
How big a face do you have, saying that you are already famous to everyone.
So sometimes when I look at people talking nonsense with their eyes open, there is no way to refute it.
Lu Yaling was also unable to answer for a while. Because the meaning of the people is obvious: there is no misunderstanding, I just don't like you!
Such a straightforward, naked, and merciless way of communicating made her a little uncomfortable for a while.
It is more difficult to deal with than Wei Penglan, who does not agree with each other, and there are injuries when he does it, at least there is something to reason with.
But people just said they didn't like you, and you didn't seem to be hurt. You can't ask everyone to like you, then you're rude.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
But Wei Penglan is never afraid of embarrassment, Wen Ming likes to create such embarrassment, and Qian Simin hasn't realized the embarrassment at all. So Lu Yaling was the only one who was embarrassed.
