Chapter 9

Gu Zhuohua and several young ladies looked at each other and smiled, looking like they were watching a joke.

Lin Hongyu looked at it below, and shook his head almost invisibly. He didn't understand why the eldest brother was so concerned about this cousin, so he hurried back every day after getting out of the Hanlin Academy to ask him about his homework, and gave him a generous gift to ask Master Zhong Cheng to teach, and paid a lot of effort.

For what purpose?

Just because Xue Mingyu is a cousin? Then he's still his own brother! I didn't see him care so much about himself.

"Second cousin, I'm smiling at you." Xue Mingyu got off the stage and smiled at him wryly.

"It doesn't matter. According to the meaning of the eldest brother, in the future, I want you to take the literary examination, and there will be no requirements for martial arts. Lin Hongyu said lightly.

"Brother." Xue Mingcan pounced in front of Xue Mingyu, picked up his right hand, and found that there were several thin cuts on it, and the pink flesh inside could be faintly seen. It was just too hard to be torn apart by the bow.

"Yikes!" Xue Mingcan guessed it when he looked at his reddened hand below, and he was very distressed at this time. When I touched the silk, I remembered that I lost it, and it happened that Miaohui Lenghui came to find it.

"Girl, your silk was taken away by the county lord of Qingwan."

"That sister of the Zhang family? Why did she take my handkerchief? ”

Miao Hui was also puzzled and shook her head.

Xue Mingcan was anxious to bandage his brother's hand, so he borrowed Miaohui's silk handkerchief.

"Mingcan, who is out of the way, will grow well in two days."

She was still distressed. When I was young, my father married the stepmother who beat and scolded them at every turn, and often called them hungry, and my father was doing business abroad as an adult, and it was rare to go home, so naturally he couldn't protect them. My brother loves her, but any meat star must have been given to her, and she has been skinny for many years.

But Lin Xianbian still wants him to practice riding and shooting! Xue Mingcan was indignant in his heart, and decided to wait until he went back to quarrel with Lin Xian first.

The field was lively again, and it turned out that Gu Zhuohua had gone up.

"The little boy." When she picked up her bow and arrow, she yelled at Xue Mingyu, and several people looked up at her.

Gu Zhuohua was tall, wearing a gold gown with a rose-red gourd double happiness pattern, his hair was pulled into a flying bun, and the silver-gilded beaded coral crab hairpin was shining in the spring light, and the beautiful jade was flawless and proud. She screamed and didn't say anything else, but her flirtatious eyes were obvious, she wanted Xue Mingyu to take a good look, and any woman could beat him down.

Xue Mingcan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is she angry about?" Lin Hong clasped his hands in front of his chest, holding grievances for the Xue family brothers and sisters.

Gu Zhuohua also "swished" three arrows, although none of them hit the heart, but the arrows were on target, and they were closer and closer each time, and the courtyard cheered.

"Miss Gu's women don't let her eyebrows!"

She smiled smugly and glanced at the Xue family brothers and sisters.

"What's the big deal about that."

Gu Zhuohua was enjoying the popularity of everyone, and coldly heard a voice, this voice was thin and weak, immature and weak, but faintly revealing a cold and lonely spirit that could not be offended, as if she had seen all the majestic mountains in the world, the water of the soup and the river, and saw her carving insect skills, but I felt that it was the end of the sea, and it was not worth mentioning.

It's an understatement, but it actually pokes out a little bit of her guilt.

Gu Zhuohua was busy looking for the source of the voice, but he didn't expect to see a jade and snowy face, with a small pointed face, a pair of apricot eyes, and a hint of a smile on her cherry-red lips.

"What's the big deal?" She found out that Xue Mingcan said this, and her panic suddenly dissipated, and she only felt ridiculous.

This little girl who has always been regarded by her as underground sludge, why does she say that her white dress is filthy?

"If you don't think it's a big deal, don't you have a lot of skills?" Gu Zhuohua had a plan, deliberately provoking her to come up and shoot an arrow, I was afraid that the smallest bow would not be able to pick it up at that time, and it would make everyone laugh.

She just wanted to see Xue Mingcan being laughed at.

Before he could think about it, Xue Mingcan came up by himself.

Gu Zhuohua was happy to save his tongue and threw the bow to her, but as expected, Xue Mingcan didn't catch it, and he stumbled and was almost hit by the bow.

"Little sister, can you do it?"

"If you can't do it, go down! Today is Miss Zhong's birthday, and it is unlucky to be injured and see red. ”

The voices of contempt were everywhere, and Xue Mingyu in the audience grabbed a heart and told his sister to come down quickly.

"Brother, look at it, I can't let people underestimate us!"

Xue Mingyu looked at his sister's expression, and his eyebrows were unexpectedly heroic and heroic, and he was a little stunned for a while. Is this still a little girl who only spoils on weekdays?

Lin Hongjin also pinched his sweat below, but Lin Tangxiao understood Gu Zhuohua's intentions, and wished that Xue Mingcan would make a fool of himself quickly.

"This little girl doesn't look like she has practiced?" Zhong Qisheng coughed a few times, and wanted to see what was going on.

"The eldest cousin has taught her, but ......" But she refused to study hard at that time, she was sick for a few months, and she neglected to practice, and she was afraid that she couldn't remember all the essentials of the posture of the arrow. Xue Mingyu's face was full of worry.

"Wow!"

Lin Hongyu didn't speak, his expression was cold and cold, and at this time, his slightly frowning eyebrows suddenly loosened, his pupils dilated, obviously not believing the situation in front of him.

Xue Mingcan actually hit the red heart with one arrow! It seemed that in the blink of an eye, he hadn't reacted yet. How fast her arrows are!

There was an uproar in the audience.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes didn't seem to have time to capture this amazing moment. Some were busy joking, some were still laughing, and some were not at all disdainful, and the sound of the arrow pulling them back, and re-examining the twelve-year-old and tiny girl on the field.

"You, this ......" Gu Zhuohua said incoherently, "This is impossible." She heard Lin Tangxiao say that this girl has only been in Yanjing for a short time, and she was used as a stepmother as a maid in the past, how could she practice such a good skill in such a short time?

"Fluke!" Yes, it's a fluke! Gu Zhuohua's turtle and turtle generally bit Xue Mingcan.

Lin Tangxiao also echoed below, "Good luck!" What a point! ”

Mingcan was silent, smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, walked to the target watcher, and said a few words.

The target watcher went down, and what was ordered by the few little guys below, everyone was inexplicably wonderful, whispering, not knowing what to do.

"Sister, come down quickly." Xue Mingyu was worried about her below. Although he was pleasantly surprised by her, he knew his sister's strength, and this arrow could really only be luck.

They are not high-class citizens in the first place, Sansheng is fortunate to be able to go to Yanjing, he just wants to quietly fulfill the expectations of his eldest cousin for him, and he really doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Brother, you wait!"

Mingcan smiled sweetly at him, peach-like, gentle and well-behaved, and his expression was completely different from the decisive and resolute just now.

However, when the little girl hung the silk piece, the small and delicate face became calm and cold again, and the apricot eyes were slightly empty, and the concentration became brighter and brighter.

"This is going to shoot silk!"

The crowd was amazed. You must know that using this inch square of silk as a target, not only is the target very small, but also the colored silk is dancing around in the wind, which is equivalent to shooting a live target. Except for those generals and martial champions, but among the noble children of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who can do it!

They just shoot hooves for fun.

This little girl looked weak and couldn't help but feel so bold. The people who had praised it just now had already begun to doubt their disdain.

"If I shoot that piece of silk, what will I get?" Xue Mingcan's thin index finger pointed at the small pieces of silk flying in the wind, and asked Gu Zhuohua sharply.

The colored silk hung dozens of steps away, and it was blown away by the wind, Gu Zhuohua stared at Du Juefei's eyes, of course he didn't believe that Xue Mingcan could shoot. She chuckled, "Got it?" Let's see if you can shoot it first. ”

"Okay, if I get shot, you're going to have to apologize to my brother." Xue Mingcan glanced around, and added, "If there is no one who can shoot the silk piece again today, the one hundred taels and the bets placed by each person will also belong to me." ”

Zhong Qisheng, as the host, has been paying attention, but he thinks this little girl is very interesting, and said with a smile at this time: "That's natural, a hundred taels will be yours." ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xue Mingcan skillfully drew his bow and arrows, and couldn't hold his breath and stare at the fluttering silk.

"Yue'er, your shoulders should be flat, and that's how the arrow is mounted...... See? ”

Just as he was about to release the arrow, a voice suddenly echoed in his head. Who's this? Who's talking. She couldn't remember, she felt a faint pain in her heart, and the dormant emptiness woke up, tearing her at any time and place.

"Ahh She let out a low wail of pain, and the hand holding the bow had to be withdrawn to cover her chest, and the arrow flew out unexpectedly, and fell to the ground at will.

"Whew!" The onlookers are expected to be proud, if you really let a little girl shoot the colored silk, it will be called a strange thing!

"Cancan!" "Mingcan!"

Xue Mingyu and Lin Hongjin rushed forward at the same time, supporting Xue Mingcan, who was sitting on the ground.

When I raised my eyes, a thin and gentle teardrop rolled down.

Strange, what am I sad about? Xue Mingcan hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hands, she refused to show weakness by nature.

"If you can't shoot, you don't have to cry." Gu Zhuohua covered his lips and smiled on the side.

"Don't you make a noise, okay!" Lin Hongxiang glared at her.

Gu Zhuohua's scalp was numb with staring, and then he was humiliated, wronged, sad, and embarrassed. How can the person she likes glare at her? Lin Hongjin, how can you stare at me for a girl!

While embarrassed, his face was also red, and he bit his mouth and stood awkwardly on the side, not knowing what to say.

But no one cares about her, and now the focus is on the little girl who fell inexplicably in the center of the field.

Xue Mingyu thought that his sister was injured somewhere, but after a closer look, she was not injured. "Sister, let's stop playing, go back, go back and brother will buy you something delicious."

Xue Mingcan listened to his brother's soft voice coaxing himself, and said that he wanted to buy something delicious, and endured the pain in his heart and laughed. Waving her hand at him, she helped her brother to his feet. "I'm fine, you wait, soon she will apologize to you."

"Mingcan." Lin Hongjin's brows were twisted, and he seemed to realize at this time that this cousin, who had been with him for many days, was a very stubborn person in his heart.
