In the pavilion opposite the one where the ladies were staying, there were indeed several princes and others sitting.

The eldest prince sat on the left side of the middle position, and he talked to the second prince next to him: "Second brother thinks that this girl Lan An will lose?"

The second prince looked at the pavilion opposite. There is some distance between the two pavilions, and the conversation over there is completely inaudible. So the second prince only saw the number of shots from the main shot of Lan'an County.

"After all, it wasn't a particularly good shot, and it took all the last arrows to hit them. The second prince replied very straightforwardly.

The eldest prince laughed when he heard this, he raised his cup to the second prince, and then drank it himself and said: "Second brother, you have such a temperament, no wonder your cousin never pays attention to you." If the third brother was here, he would definitely know what was going on. ”

"General Li, what do you think?" the eldest prince called on the name of another person in the pavilion.

Underneath the seats of the two princes, three more sat on the left and right. In the middle of the left, sitting is Li Xiaoran, the general of Jingbei.

Li Xiaoran turned sideways to look at the pavilion opposite, and his eyes quickly found the beautiful face.

Li Xiaoran was not thinking about who would win between Su Jinyin and the county lord of Lan'an at this time. What he was more curious about was what happened after Su Jinyin returned home after separating from his third sister.

Li Xiaoran has always been very concerned about these women's affairs. But his third sister begged for tears to come out, and he had to pay attention to her for her. Although the temperament of these three sisters is a little domineering, he Li Xiaoran's sister is only this one, and it is harmless to be a little more ambitious.

Besides, people only need to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Li Xiaoran knows very well that this third sister is truly in awe of herself. She won 70,000 taels in Tai'an Yayuan, and most of them made him a warm jade pillow, and today she also braved the rain to go to Zhen Baozhai to get this pillow. And Su Jinyin agreed to treat him last time, which was actually the credit of the third sister.

It's not that men don't understand these things in the house, but most of them don't bother to pay attention to them.

Li Xiaoran retracted his gaze and replied to the eldest prince: "I haven't seen this other person's archery skills yet, so the lower officials don't dare to jump to conclusions." ”

The eldest prince didn't care, so he ordered the rest of the people to ask.

Most of these people didn't know Su Jinyin, so they naturally replied that they were no different from Li Xiaoran.

Only one of them stared at the pavilion for a long time without answering.

The person next to him pushed him and joked, "What, you just happened to see the archery skills of the girl opposite?"

"I don't have archery, but I've seen that girl. It's the daughter of Su Shangshu of the family department, right. The boy who spoke took a tortoiseshell side inlaid tourmaline folding fan in his hand, and after he fanned the fan twice with the fan fully open, he suddenly closed the fan and said, "Your Highness, Cunzhi has really seen her." She is Zhongyang's younger sister. ”

"You have even inquired about people's family backgrounds, do you have any ideas?" The person next to him bumped his elbow against the prince of Yasukuni, who was familiar with this person.

Tao Chenghong tilted the topic in another direction: "Why don't we place a bet?"

"Cunzhi, are you ......" The eldest prince pointed to Tao Chenghong below, but he was not really angry. He beckoned the maid over and gave the other party an order.

After these words were transmitted to the other side, the people in the pavilion had different expressions.

Some people's eyes were on Su Jinyin, because she remembered the last time she played the piano, and some princes had appreciated the lottery. Although the winner of that day was Su Jinyin's sister Su Fuser, this Su Fu Sefu has a thin life and can no longer enjoy it. It seems that Su Jinyin's piano sound that day was finally appreciated by the princes?

There are also people who are secretly observing the look of the county lord of Lan'an. The inexplicable brother-sister relationship between the county lord of Lan'an and the third prince is not widely publicized, but there are always people who know a little bit about it. Therefore, this part of the people who know the inside story is thinking, I don't know how the county lord of Lan'an will rub Su Jinyin, and also, will anyone on the prince's side stand up to defend Su Jinyin?

The look of the county lord of Lan'an this time, if compared with the last time he played the piano, it is much better. Her crush isn't here today, so she doesn't care what other people are betting on.

But......

The county lord of Lan'an let the maid beside him put a silver ingot, and said: "Since the eldest cousin and the second cousin have such an interest, I can't be disappointed as a younger sister." I'll press it first. I'll just press Miss Su. ”

Lord Lan'an deliberately made everyone's eyes focus back on Su Jinyin. The more attention Su Jinyin receives at this moment, the more ridicule he will receive for the fiasco later.

The other people in the pavilion saw that the county lord of Lan'an was pressed, and they all stepped forward one after another to participate in the betting.

Su Jinyin looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. Is this a woman's inheritance of her mother's business? The eldest princess of Zhaohui has an industry called Yayuan, which is actually no different from a gambling house. The county lord of Lan'an took the lead directly in placing a bet.

Su Jinyin is really curious, whether the gambling skills of these two nobles are as good as their ability to attract people to bet.

"The county lord values me, and I also pressure the county lord. Su Jinyin asked Zhuyue to untie her sachet and put it on it.

The county lord of Lan'an glanced at Su Jinyin contemptuously, and urged unappreciatively: "Okay, let's start now, don't delay everyone." ”

Su Jinyin picked up an arrow, and then slowly pulled the bow.

The bow was only half full, and the arrow was fired. Therefore, not to mention the apple that this arrow hit the head of the county lord of Lan'an, even the body of the county lord of Lan'an did not come close.

Some of the ladies who followed the county lord of Lan'an to suppress Su Jinyin's face were not very good-looking. They began to regret that they shouldn't have followed the county lord of Lan'an to suppress Su Jinyin.

I thought that this Su Jinyin dared to compete with the lord of Lan'an, and he must have some extraordinary skills in archery. Now it seems that this is just a gamble? What a pity for their money.

Su Jinyin picked up the second arrow.

This one, almost as soon as he pulled the bow, flew out, and without enough momentum, the arrow fell in front of Su Jinyin himself.

"No wonder she doesn't dare to compare with Yuan Yuan. A sneering voice came.

Su Jinyin didn't speak, and continued to pick up the third arrow.

"Wait. But the county lord of Lan'an suddenly spoke.

Could it be that the county lord dislikes this Su Jinyin's archery technique, and is ready to compare? Everyone looked over with a puzzled look.

The county lord of Lan'an said: "Yuan Yuan, please also use this dropped arrow to teach Miss Su to shoot once." Maybe she hasn't practiced for a long time, and she's rusty. ”

"This is not at all, right?" Zhang Yuanyuan spoke straightforwardly, and when he saw that Su Jinyin's two arrows were really bad, he replied, "I think it's better to forget it." You might as well just admit defeat to the county lord just like I did to me. ”

"Yes, why do you have to take over the porcelain work without this diamond?" echoed the voice.

Su Jinyin handed over the bow and arrows and said, "Please also ask Miss Zhang to teach me how to use skill." ”

"Why are you so self-aware?" Zhang Yuanyuan took the bow and arrow with some disgust, then pulled the bow and arrow to the full, and shot an arrow directly in the air.

The arrow was not aimed at the Lan'an County Lord, but at the back of the Lan'an County Lord.

I saw that the maid was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she was so frightened that she took two steps back. It turned out that the arrow was firmly stuck in the apple she was holding. And, an arrow pierced through two apples.

In the pavilion opposite, the second prince praised from the bottom of his heart: "Good archery!"

The eldest prince also nodded and said, "It's really good." If this girl ends up in the competition, there will be nothing to do with Lan An and that Su girl. ”

The maid said on the side: "The county lord let this girl go before, but Miss Su refused. ”

"There is still self-knowledge. The second prince commented.

The eldest prince also said: "It seems that this Miss Su will take the initiative to retreat again." She can only admit defeat. ”

"General Li, Cunzhi, you are all going to lose. I'm going to laugh at these two fine jade pendants. The eldest prince said deliberately, "Cunzhi, if you want to make any further bets, use the fan in your hand." ”

"You bet on this Su girl to be able to hit three arrows in the back, and I can't shoot one arrow if I press her. How?" The eldest prince was obviously making fun of Tao Chenghong, who regarded the fan as a treasure.

Tao Chenghong held the fan in his hand, and sure enough, he shouldn't: "I am a self-aware person." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

The laughter faintly spread to the pavilion where Su Jinyin was, and everyone naturally misunderstood that this was making fun of Su Jinyin.

The county lord of Lan'an looked at Su Jinyin with pity, and proposed: "Otherwise, I will also learn from Yuan Yuan, let you have arrows, and add three arrows to Miss Su." ”

The county lord of Lan'an did not immediately increase the number of Zhang Yuanyuan's orders, so he naturally prepared to stay after Su Jinyin finished shooting thirteen before speaking. She just wants Su Jinyin to know how ridiculous it will be for people who don't think about themselves.

Su Jinyin thanked the county lord of Lan'an and continued to get the arrows.

At this point, no one believed that she would shoot.

The bow was only drawn in half, and sure enough, it stopped again, but this time the arrow did not shoot immediately.

"Miss Zhang, can you ask for advice, if you don't have enough strength, is there any way to pull the bow apart?" Su Jinyin asked Zhang Yuanyuan next to him while maintaining his posture.

Zhang Yuanyuan was a little impatient, but he still walked over and pointed: "Hold here, the position you hold now requires the most strength." Since you don't have enough strength, you have to take a trick. ”

"There is also a standing posture, don't be like this, collect it here, collect it!" Zhang Yuanyuan pointed at Su Jinyin a few times.

The princes laughed again.

"You're asking for help, right?"

"It's useless. Archery is something that can be done overnight. ”

"What do you say?"

Li Xiaoran's gaze has been locked on Su Jinyin. He noticed that Su Jinyin's adjusted posture was indeed much better than before. So, will the tide turn?

Su Jinyin's third arrow shot out.

The arrow shot far away, almost hitting the apple in the hand of the lord of Lan'an. But it fell off one step away.

Oh, but that's it, hopelessly. Everybody thinks so.
