Hearing her say this, Zhang Yousheng thought of a little girl dressed in pink.

At the previous ceremony, she turned her head to look at her for the first time, Xue Mingcan tilted his head slightly, biting his lower lip gently, although there was not much expression on his face, his eyes flashed, and he looked innocent.

Zhang Yousheng felt that her look was familiar at that time.

But I didn't expect Pu Yue to be on it. Because Pu Yue was born radiant, bright and compelling, especially a high nose bridge stretched straight down, the tenacity like a mountain peak, revealing an arrogant atmosphere. And this Xue girl's appearance is a gentle and demure little jasper, so beautiful that she is not aggressive.

But now that I think about it, just looking at that look and temperament, it really looks a little like Pu Yue.

"You said this veil belongs to Miss Xue?" Zhang Yousheng asked.

Miao Hui nodded.

She hadn't yet figured out the little girl, so she pressed her patience and interrogated her carefully. "I smell the fragrance on this silk is special, I don't know where Sister Xue bought the spices?"

Miao Hui smiled: "I didn't buy it from elsewhere, it was made by our girl herself." ”

"Tune it yourself?"

"Yes, the girl is the best at blending fragrances, and this fragrance has a very good name, the girl said that it is called Tang Palace Butterfly Powder."

Like a boulder falling from a height, Zhang Yousheng felt that his heart had been smashed hard.

Tang Palace Butterfly Powder is a special spice specially made by the queen mother for the county lord, and even she can't use half a star or two. Because it belongs to the secret recipe in the palace, even the name will not be spread outside the palace. Where did the little girl come from, how could she know the name and formula, and she turned it out and used it openly!

Could it be that there is a bold and unruly person in the palace who sold the secret recipe of spices to private merchants?

Zhang Yousheng only thought of this layer, and just wanted Miaohui to find Xue Mingcan, a maid hurriedly ran in front of him.

"Let's go back and have a look, county lord...... The county lord vomited blood, and the queen mother urgently summoned you back. ”

As soon as these words fell, like five thunderbolts, Zhang Yousheng was startled, and several young ladies around were also startled.

At this time, the spices were insignificant compared to Pu Yue's vomiting of blood, so Zhang Yousheng had to put this matter aside and left the Zhong Mansion in a hurry.

The ladies sent her out of the corner gate like a moon, or sighed or wanted to see the excitement, blocked the corner door and talked for a while, and there was no interest in listening to the play.

"I heard my brother say that today they are going to test the hoof, and there are still bets, why don't we go and see?" Gu Zhuohua proposed.

"Do you know where it is?" Lin Tangxiao asked. She was naturally willing to watch the men shoot hooves, because she wanted to see Zhong Qisheng.

"Let's find a little guy and ask."

As soon as I inquired, I learned that the hoof-shooting competition had not yet begun, and the hoove-shooting hut had just been built. The Great Xia Dynasty emphasized literature rather than light martial arts, because the founding monarch of the year relied on the rebel army to fight the world, so at the beginning of the founding of the country, the martial style prevailed, and when it came to Emperor Jingren, it was more than that, and the general royal nobles would ask to practice riding and archery.

Aristocratic women also need to be involved.

So at this time, there is no big defense between men and women, and the young ladies can even compete together.

When Gu Zhuohua and his party came to the courtyard, several young ladies had already arrived from the attic where they were listening to the play. They had just finished placing their bets and were waiting for the first person to play.

As soon as Lin Tangxiao came, she looked around, she was looking for Zhong Qisheng. But after looking around several times in a row, there was no trace of him. Hasn't it arrived yet? No way, he likes this kind of game the most.

Zhong Qisheng really likes it, and he is also very itchy, and wants to go to the front yard to show his skills, but because he drank too much wine with Lin Xian yesterday, he was blown by the cool breeze when he came back at night, and he actually caught some cold.

His nose is stuffy and his head is heavy, so he has to stay in bed, and more importantly, he is a strong person, even if he reluctantly participates, he doesn't play well, it really affects his image, you must know that there is no shortage of women in the capital who love him.

was sleeping groggily, like falling into the clouds, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, his body was pushed twice, and Zhong Qisheng woke up slowly.

"Huh?" He squinted, and suddenly saw a little girl standing beside the bed, wearing a cherry-red dress, pink and tender, like a jade ball.

Could it be that you dream of the virgin in front of the bodhisattva's seat? He blinked vigorously to make sure there was a jade ball standing there, and a pair of apricot eyes were still looking at him and laughing. It's a bit familiar.

"Hey! Wake up! Just as he was thinking about where he had seen it, a red and swollen face suddenly floated in front of him, which frightened him to wake up completely.

It turned out to be Lin Hongjin, obedient, Brother Lin Xian was really ruthless, and he almost didn't recognize it.

"What are you doing here?" There were two other men standing next to the bed.

"You said you want to shoot hooves, why are you fooling?" Lin Hongjin swollen half of his face, struggled to speak, and tried to maintain a small anger.

"I said I wasn't feeling well." Zhong Qisheng looked at it again and remembered that this little girl should be the one he saw in the restaurant yesterday, but she was wearing a boy's outfit at that time.

"Why did you bring her in?" He pointed at Xue Mingcan.

"Mingcan wants to follow us to see the hoof, so get up quickly." Lin Hong urged him.

"I can't lead her into my house if I look at the hoof."

"She's a little older." Lin Hong didn't care, in his opinion, there was not much difference between a twelve-year-old and a two-year-old, and he had never talked about the defense of men and women.

Xue Mingcan didn't pay attention to it. First, she didn't have this awareness, and second, except for Lin Hongyu, other men were like that in her eyes.

Zhong Qisheng was so worn by Lin Hongshen that he couldn't help it, so he blasted a few of them out, and the maid came in to serve him to change his clothes and freshen up, and slowly came to the front yard.

There have already been a few sons who have tried it, but the level is not enough, and it has not made any waves, and the ladies are bored and start chatting.

Until Lin Hongzhi came on the field.

Lin Xian left because he had something to do, the banquet was useless, and when he left, he told his second brother to take care of Xue Mingyu, and said that he would take Xue Mingyu to try shooting hooves.

In addition to studying, Lin Xian has also been personally teaching Xue Mingyu to ride and shoot, but he suffered in his childhood, and he can't make up for it later, and his body is weak, so he can't mention martial arts in practice, which is a weakness.

Therefore, before Xue Mingyu came on the court, Lin Hongyu demonstrated for him and had to participate in a game.

The perched skin hangs high, and the hooves are wrapped in circles, and the red heart in the center is considered capable. Lin Hongyu bent his bow and arrows, and easily hit the red heart three times in a row. The surroundings gradually became lively.

"Which one of the red hearts this shot hits, it's clearly the hearts of those young ladies." Just now, a few people who only shot the outer circle looked at the ladies who were laughing and cheering, and said sourly.

Xue Mingcan came just in time, and just in time to see Lin Hongjin's last arrow, he couldn't help but cheer: "Brother Hong is the best!" ”

Lin Hongjin saw her from a distance, frowned, and did not respond, and put down his bow lightly.

Lin Hongjin walked beside her, listening to her cry like thunder on the ground, "You whisper, my ears hurt me." You wait, I'm also very good, and after a while I shoot, you shout 'Brother Jin is the best', okay? ”

Xue Mingcan snorted in his nose and didn't answer his words. Zhong Qisheng was a little itchy when he heard it, now that the border defense is stable, these noble children do not practice riding and archery for the battlefield, and the only sense of accomplishment comes from the amazement and admiration of others.

Lin Hongjin heard Xue Mingcan's voice among the noisy people, and when he heard the voice, Xue Mingcan saw him seeing him, and waved his hand at him excitedly, and called "Brother Hong, Brother Hong." ”

Lin Tangxiao also heard it, frowned and complained: "Eldest sister, you see that she is so unruly, it is really a shame for our Lin Mansion!" Our brother, when did she make her so affectionate! ”

Lin Tangmei didn't care and continued to watch the game.

Lin Tangxiao saw that she couldn't get a response from her eldest sister, and she was depressed, but when she caught a glimpse of Zhong Qisheng coming, she put aside the unhappiness just now and stepped forward with a happy brow.

"Third brother, why are you here?" She spoke to Lin Hong first, and then blessed the other sons one by one, carefully hiding her excitement. looked at Zhong Qisheng from time to time, and found that the other party had been staring at the arrow path and had not paid attention to himself.

I can't help but feel a big disappointment.

"Brother Qisheng, I heard that you are sick...... she thought of a reason to talk, and asked cautiously, but before the words were finished, Xue Mingcan on the side danced, "My brother is on the field!" Brother! ”

Several people's eyes were attracted, and Lin Tangxiao was caught off guard and was hung aside, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xue Mingcan didn't notice it, and Xue Mingyu beckoned to Xue Mingyu on the field. Xue Mingyu smiled at his sister, turned his head and took a deep breath, and raised the small bow with great difficulty.

"What a sick man, it's so hard to lift a bow." Gu Zhuohua laughed with the young lady on the side.

"But it's good-looking." A young lady said.

Gu Zhuohua shook his head, "His appearance is too feminine, I don't know which family he raised......

There is no shortage of good men in the Great Xia Dynasty, and everyone knows it, so she didn't say everything. It led people to discuss Xue Mingyu's background.

When he knew that he was the descendant of a merchant family, his disdain was undisguised.

Xue Mingyu felt that he had really used all his strength, the green tendons on his white hands were all over, and the next second it was like a blood vessel bursting, and his face was red and purple because of the exertion, and he finally sent an arrow out, but his arm was so shocked that he stumbled and staggered, and he was almost taken out by the force of the arrow.

"Hahaha......" There was laughter all around. When the arrow ran towards the hoof, it dropped its burden and planted it crookedly in the path of the arrow.

He let out a sigh of relief, glad that Cousin Lin Xian was not there, otherwise he would have been very disappointed.

"Brother! Come on! Hearing a sweet "brother" in the laughter, he looked back at Xue Mingcan, and felt that his cold back gradually warmed. Smiling at his sister, he tried to pick up another arrow feather.

Same result, more recent than the previous one.

"Don't, kid, go back and practice for two years." "Hahaha......"

The laughter around them became even louder, and many young ladies covered their mouths with silk and smiled.

"I heard that Lord Lin cultivated him very much, and he also invited Lord Zhong Chengzhong to enlighten. In the end, he was born in an inferior family, his roots are clumsy, and no matter how famous a teacher is, it is in vain. ”
