Chapter 201 Archery Posture
It's winter, and the clock rings in the afternoon. As soon as the sky began to darken, the Student Affairs Department would take advantage of the vacancy of the college to change the seats in the teaching buildings of each college to the winter system.
Sitting in front of the desk to write, the Yu stopped the pen and swept around the room, Mr. was sitting behind the podium and reading the book by himself, several students sitting in the front row didn't know what they were writing, there was a pair of teenagers in the back corner of the teaching room who were whispering and laughing across the table, and Zhao Yao behind him turned his head when he saw her and showed a friendly smile to her.
Yi Yu smiled back, and about the hour was approaching, so she put all the paper and pen away, and began to pack up her things slowly, seeing her movements, two students on the side stopped their pens and sorted out their book bags.
As soon as the bell rang, the gentleman closed the book and stood up, waved his hand at the students below, and left the teaching house with the textbook in his hand.
In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Yu Yu followed closely behind Mr. and left the teaching house. Didn't notice a few strange stares behind her, after she left, several students got together to discuss, Zhao Yao moved to the edge of Changsun Xian's seat, showed her an almost flattering smile, and said:
"Miss Changsun, this time the five academies are in the art competition, with you in our academy, we will definitely be able to get an extra piece of woodcarving, and maybe we can press the four academies behind."
Since Chu Xiaosi was estranged by Changsun Xian, Zhao Yao saw the opportunity of her close relative, Changsun Xian, and she was close to her, and when she went to and from school, she would come to her and say a few words, but it had little effect.
Eldest Sun Xian glanced at her with a faint smile, and then moved her gaze to the book, "This candidate has not yet been decided, it is better for you to say this to Miss Lu, at the moment, in our courtyard, no one can overshadow her." ”
Zhao Yao sneered, knowing that the two were not compatible, so naturally she couldn't say that she had said this to Yiyu in the morning, "Miss Changsun said that she was laughing, where is she in the limelight, how many people are waiting to see the jokes, if you go to the reference, maybe most of them will be at the bottom." ”
"Oh?" Changsun Xian had already packed her bookbag and got up to look down at her. "I made an appointment with a friend at Yunjing Tea House, would Miss Zhao be willing to go with me?"
Hearing her invitation, Zhao Yao suddenly looked happy, nodded a few times, couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth grin too much, got up and took the leather bag from her place, followed a young man in the back row of Changsun Xian, and walked out of the teaching house.
Chu Xiaosi sat next to Changsun Xian, and after they left, she raised her head that had been hanging low, looked at the backs of the three of them, and a faint resentment flashed in her eyes.
***
Because Lu Zhi had something to do, he sent the remnant jade to the street at the back door, watched her get into a carriage and leave, and then crossed two streets and got into another carriage in a secluded alley, heading towards the north of Chang'an City.
Yi Yu returned to the secret house alone, walked through the front yard, and when he walked out of the flower hall, he was stunned, Ah Sheng was standing in the east of the courtyard, holding a longbow in his hand. There were no arrows, and he aimed at the target stack under the west tree in the outer courtyard for dozens of steps.
Seeing her standing at the door of the flower hall, she slowly put away the bowstring and greeted her.
"Miss Lu is out of school, hey, where is Mr. Lu?"
"He has something to do, saying he won't be back tonight."
"Oh," Ah Sheng didn't ask Lu Zhi what he was doing, and the conversation changed, "You came back just in time, come and try which bow to take advantage of." ”
Yi Yu followed his fingers and looked at the three-arm wide and narrow bow stand on the side, on which there were five bows hanging in size, plus the one in Ah Sheng's hand, a total of six, a cloth bag hung between the racks, and several leather quivers leaning against the foot of the frame, which were full of white and brown feather arrows.
"What is this?" She didn't take a light bow that Ah Sheng took from the shelf and handed it to her, and asked out loud.
Ah Sheng smiled, "Yesterday, Mr. Lu asked me to get it." ”
Yi Yu immediately remembered that when he went out in the morning, Lu Zhi had a strange conversation with Ah Sheng, it turned out that he wanted to ask Ah Sheng to help him with this, it was much more difficult for her archery skills to improve than her chess skills, her strength and endurance could not keep up, and it was impossible to make substantial progress in just a few days, Lu Zhi did this, in her opinion, it was inevitable that it would be a bit of a big effort.
"It's really bothering you, it cost a lot of money, right?"
Although the jade is not literate, it can be seen that the bow on this bow frame is not an ordinary thing. Although the common bows and arrows in the school are also good, they are far less fine than these, and the feather arrows in the quiver are even more goose feathers, which seem to be expensive, and I don't know if Lu Zhi asked Ah Sheng to get these and gave the money.
Ah Sheng waved his hand, "It didn't cost anything, these things were all original in the Jingzhong Courtyard, so I asked people to pull them over, just a gesture." ”
It is naturally good not to spend money, Yi Yu looked at the east room and the study room where the door was lightly covered, and asked, "Does the prince know?" ”
"Well, I've asked for advice in the morning, so why don't you try it now?"
Yi Yu said hello, went back to the room to put down the bookbag, and drank another cup of tea, when she arrived in the courtyard, Ah Sheng was squatting on the edge of the bow frame and fiddling with a leather bag, she leaned over to take a look, and saw that there was an extra box less than a foot long in his hand, and when he opened it, there were neatly stacked finger sleeves of different lengths.
"You put it on and try it."
Yi Yu directly selected the smallest one from the box and put it on the three fingers of his right hand. I moved my fingers, and was surprised to find that it was very suitable, it is said that this thing was taken from the palace courtyard, how could there be an object that fits her fingers, look at these finger sleeves, although they are exquisitely made and elastic, but the scratches on them show that this is someone else's use, Li Tai's fingers can't be so small, who has used it?
With that in mind, she looked at the bow hanging from the shelf. Only then did he realize that none of these looked like things used by Li Tai.
"How about it, because it takes some time to customize, and you are in a hurry to use it, I found a ready-made one, although this finger sleeve is some years, but because it is made of deerskin, it should be suitable for the girl's family."
"It's fine." Yi Yu moved his fingers, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, wanting to ask who had used this object, and felt a little hypocritical, didn't he share it with so many people in school, why did he get awkward at this point.
Xu is Lu Zhi told Ah Sheng that she is not good at shooting, he took the bows one by one to her and explained, Yu Yu carefully wrote down, each one was started, and finally chose a five-strength horn bow, and hung half a bag of arrows on the waist, Guozixue's regular clothes are not as long as ordinary women's clothes, and this clothes are not cumbersome to shoot arrows.
The courtyard in front of the small building is quite spacious, there is a distance of seventy steps from the east wall to the west wall, and the target buttress is placed in the open space two zhang away from the door of the west house where the relic jade lives.
If you calculate it carefully, this is the second time that Yi Yu has touched the bow, although he has only practiced for an hour yesterday, but at this moment he is holding the bow in his left hand and drawing an arrow in his right hand, and he feels a little overwhelmed.
She turned her head to Ah Shengtou's gaze for help, and in exchange for him lowered his head and laughed, then walked up to her, whispered something offended, and then reached out to correct her posture.
The two of them were not standing close, and Ah Sheng was slightly lower than Lu Zhi, and Yi Yu could see the position of his neck at eye level, and he had set up Yu Yu's arm, just standing behind her. Stretching out his hands, he wanted to leap over her shoulders and teach her to aim, when he heard a deep voice from the side:
"What are you doing?"
Ah Sheng and Yi Yu turned their heads to look at the study together, and saw Li Tai, who was wearing a water-colored robe, standing upright at the door of the study, leaning on the door frame with one hand, looking at them with half-squinted eyes.
Ah Sheng was keenly aware that his eyes swept over his hands, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and the hands that had not yet touched the shoulders of Yi Yu were retracted with a "whoosh", and he strode back to widen the distance between him and her.
For some reason, Yu Yu compared the hand holding the arrow to Li Tai and said, "I'm practicing archery." ”
Li Tai ignored her, glanced at Ah Sheng, and said, "Go upstairs to see if Yinxiao is awake and feed it." ”
"Yes." Ah Sheng nodded, and walked into the building with some hurried steps.
The master ran away, and the remnant Yu was frozen in place, and after reciting a self-taught sentence silently, he was about to pull the bow, and when he saw Li Tai standing at the door of the study and did not go back to the house, he turned his head sideways and asked:
"Your Highness still has something to do?"
Li Tai took a step out, crossed the threshold, and stood on the edge of the corridor looking at her, raising his chin slightly, and Yu Yu received the meaning of "you continue" from his subtle movements.
She turned her head a little stiffly, raised her hand holding the bow, and put the arrow crookedly, recalling the method that Cheng Xiaofeng taught her yesterday, hooking the string - the bow was only half pulled apart.
The five-bucket bow was nearly half more than the three-bucket she used yesterday, and the first pull was normal. But the gaze cast on her at this time made her feel an indescribable embarrassment, and the left hand of the hook string subconsciously let go, and the straight feather arrow shot out crookedly, as if she hadn't eaten enough, and fell down in less than twenty steps.
It was not good to open the bow, and Yu Yu only glanced at the feather arrow that fell to the ground miserably not far away, then turned his head sideways and closed his eyes, with a deflated expression on his face, and began to heat faintly from his ears.
"The posture is wrong." A voice sounded behind her, and as Yu reopened her eyes, a large smooth hand rested on her left arm, which was still holding a bow, and she could still feel the closeness of the five white fingers through the slightly thicker winter clothes, and the heat in her ears began to spread to her cheeks.
"Your Highness?" Yu Yu shouted dryly.
"Hmm." With a light syllable coming from his nose, Li Tai walked behind her at some point, and after raising her left arm, his right hand passed through the quiver on her waist, and held the arrow with three fingers, wrapped around her drooping right shoulder, and rested on the bowstring in front of her.
Yu Yu's size was only as big as Li Tai's shoulders, although her back was still an inch away from his chest, but this was like the posture of embracing that night in her memory, and the warm breath slowly approaching from behind made her spirit instantly become trance-like.
