Chapter Eighty-Eight
Wonderful, although the first target caused a mistake because the wheel crushed the stone, but in the end, Yun Yao hit the twelve targets with absolute strength, and the bullseye again and again, without the advantage of the car man, obtained more excellent results than the three sons of the Mu family, this time everyone was convinced, and no one could make any excuses.
The car man who cooperated with Yun Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't have to carry the black pot.
"Okay, wonderful, let them come and get the reward." The Acting Monarch was satisfied, because today's salute was really too pleasant.
When Yun Yao saw that her reward turned out to be a stone, her smile instantly became perfunctory, although she knew that it was jade, but she didn't even have a pickle jar at home, what was the use of having such a big head of jade? It is better to give a little more grain.
This is Yun Yao has no pursuit, how can he only think about eating and drinking as a nobleman, how can he have a little elegant artistic pursuit. Jade is a good thing, it can be carved into various ornaments, can be used on various occasions, can be buried when you die, can be used as a dowry when you get married, in short, there are many uses.
This piece of jade was still transported from the Zhou Kingdom, and it was not something that the baron could get, so this reward was not shabby at all.
"I have already divined, although this jade is inconspicuous, the jade in it must be the best, and now it is given to Yun Yao, the daughter of the Zhu family, who won the first place."
"Xie Gongzi's reward."
"Haha, it's very good, you have superb archery skills and a good legacy of women, and you don't lose to the female general Deng Chanyu. Next year's hunt, you can also come and participate. The acting monarch said with a smile, obviously very optimistic about Yun Yao.
The third son of the Mu family also got a stone, he is very depressed now, but it is impossible to make excuses, he just lost, so he doesn't dare to make noise in front of Yun Yao anymore, and he is embarrassed to say cruel words again. The more you talk, the more your face hurts.
The salute has been completed, and the next step is the king's reward to the nobles, and after the reward is completed, the king is sent off and left in turn.
still left the scene in the order of the highest and lower titles of the nobles, and the whole shooting salute ended successfully, and each nobleman received some rewards. It was all a few knick-knacks, and the barons were given a piece of cloth each. Yun Yao's gift was much more than the value of a piece of cloth, but the other barons thought it was a good deal, because none of the gifts they gave were of much value.
"I'm going back overnight." Fang Gu said: "There are still many things at home. ”
The barons were ready to go home overnight, for it would cost food to spend the night outside, and the salute was over, and the monarch would not stay for dinner.
Yunyao has a place to live, and after leaving the scene, Zhang Nu has already sent someone to invite her to stay overnight. Seeing that the day was about to pass and it was not safe to walk at night, Yun Yao accepted Zhang Nu's invitation and lived in her tent.
The retainers also made their own accommodation arrangements, and the packaged meat and salt were distributed to them, and Yun Yao was not stingy at all.
"I'm going to make more flags for you, but I'm afraid of violating the Zhou etiquette, so I won't come to you until the end of the salute, I hope you won't be surprised." Zhang Nu is much more simple now, because she wants to save money to do things, so she is no longer extravagant and wasteful.
"It's okay." In fact, Yun Yao is very strange that Zhang Nu is always alone and has never seen her husband.
"Zhu Nu is shining today, and tomorrow the Lu Kingdom will know your prestige." Zhang Nu was very happy: "It's a pity that I can't record today's shooting salute on the bronze." ”
Yun Yao thought to himself that he hadn't done anything earth-shattering, so he didn't need to go on the bronze at every turn, and the golden inscription of the bronze should record some more national events.
However, archery is a national event, and today's salute is really qualified to be bronze.
Zhang Nu said that some parents are short, and she is very free at her husband's house, so she often goes alone. also said some things about 'Hefu', and there are many people who contact her, and she will definitely succeed.
Yun Yao said: "It is still necessary to carefully investigate and make sure that the borrower is hardworking enough. ”
"Don't worry, we'll look into it." The investigation of the borrower is a must, there is no need to be reminded by Yun Yao, and the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty are not stupid and will not lend money to lazy people who spend extravagantly.
"Zhu Nu participated in the shooting salute today, and saw many young and handsome men in Lu Country, can you see any of them? If so, I can help you get a matchmaker. Zhang Nu felt that Yun Yao was almost old, and she must find a good match to participate in this kind of large-scale event, and she was afraid that Yun Yao would be shy, so she offered to help.
Yun Yao pretended to be full of disdain: "I don't have the ability, no matter how high the title is, no matter how much food and silk there is." If he wants to marry me, he must at least be stronger than me, for fear that he is not born yet. "I don't hide my contempt for the men of the Lu country, because as a traverser, I don't really want to get married. It is best to let the men of the whole Lu country know their requirements through Zhang Nu's channels, so that the men will not dare to harass them, including Gongsun.
Of course, Yun Yao could see that Gongsun Chief was a young Huaichun, but she only felt disgusted.
Zhang Nu thought that Yun Yao's arrogance was understandable, but she still had to advise: "Persuade the gentleman to find it early, there are not many good matches, if you are thoughtful, the woman should ask." "Courtship should be bold, don't be shy, and when you meet the person you like, you will definitely not care about his ability."
Definitely not to meet it, Yun Yao thought to herself, but said: "Men still have to look at their skills, in short, I don't look down on men who are not as strong as me." ”
Seeing Yun Yao's insistence, Zhang Nu didn't say much, and changed the subject: "Do you want me to introduce a jade figure to you and process your prize?" ”
"No, I won't need jade for the time being, it's not too late to process it when I use it."
"That's fine." Zhang Nu knows that Yun Yao is an assertive person, she knows what she needs and what she doesn't need, and she always feels very down-to-earth by Yun Yao's side, because no matter what changes Yun Yao encounters, she can give an explanation and propose means, which is a sense of security that divination will not bring.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Nu beckoned everyone to have breakfast and sent Yunyao away. When I go home, I have an extra cart of rice, which is still very cost-effective, and I earn a cart of rice a day, and there is no such harvest anywhere else.
"Goodbye Zhu Nu."
"Goodbye, Miss Zhang."
Two Qianqian women bid farewell in the dust and morning dew.
Go home.
Yun Yao and the retainers happily embarked on the way home, and on the way, they had been discussing yesterday's shooting salute, discussing the development of other families, and the retainers were also sharing information with each other, and they also learned a lot of new things.
"This year's harvest is still passable, and we can spend a winter in peace." Shu Zai is full of confidence in this winter, winter is a huge enemy, and a good harvest is a good start.
"Yes, we have to prepare for the winter when we go back, the crops have to be dried and stored, and the furs we have to hunt in the summer to make winter clothes. Winter is coming. "The master also knows that there are still many things to do after going back, and the savages can be idle, but the retainers still have a lot of things to do, and they have to prepare for the winter and the year-end inspection.
When Caiyi appeared in the distance, everyone stopped discussing and concentrated on hurrying, all of them were eager to go home. 111
