Chapter 30: I Won't Run Away
Due to the overall layout, the garden of the Feng family is long and narrow as a whole, and is divided into an outer garden and an inner garden.
The inner garden can only be entered by the Feng family, but if there are in-laws and daughters, they will also make tea and chat together in the inner garden.
As for the outer garden, in addition to the Feng family's family members can come and go on weekdays, they will also receive guests from outside.
The rules of the Feng family are not as strict as those of the entrenched family, so even the female dependents will run outside the garden.
If the inner garden is a good place to enjoy the scenery leisurely, the outer garden is Fung Zhirong's favorite place.
In addition to the angular landscaping, there is also an archery range specially set aside for her. In addition, there is a large area at the outermost point where she can ride a pony.
Although it is not big and cannot gallop a horse, it is just right for Feng Zhirong's current age.
The inner and outer gardens are separated by a corridor, and if you walk up to the corridor and turn right, you can walk to Feng Xu's study.
The cloister near the outer garden is a wall that separates the view of the inner and outer gardens, and a wooden wall is erected parallel to the wall, and five wooden signs with several circles drawn in ink are erected as targets for archery.
There were five targets, and there were indeed a lot of marks on the ground when I looked back. King Jing looked at the marks on the ground, about ten, fifteen, twenty steps...... Yunyun.
Feng Zhirong naturally noticed that King Jing stopped, and was still puzzled, but looking at the place he was looking at, he knew that King Jing seemed to be interested in this small shooting range, so he said: "Grandfather loves me, so he made a vacant land clear for a shooting range. ”
King Jing didn't answer, but looked at a small pavilion in front of the shooting range, in which several bows were hung, as well as quivers and quivers, and said, "Can you pull the bow?" ”
Feng Zhirong's expression was a little helpless: "The courtier's strength is still small, and she can't pull the bow, so it's good to be able to pull it at most." ”
King Jing looked at Feng Zhirong's arm, but the clothes in these years were loose, so naturally the lines of the arm were covered and the outline could not be seen, so he said, "How is your archery skills?" ”
Feng Zhirong only felt that King Jing was curious, so she replied casually: "No one in the family is as idle as a courtier, and no one can compare, so I don't know." ”
King Jing was only then interested, and walked towards the small pavilion where bows and arrows were placed.
Feng Zhirong followed and walked over, thinking that she only shot arrows in the morning until her hands were sore, and now if King Jing really wanted her to shoot arrows, it was still a question of whether she could hit the target accurately.
However, I want to think about it, after all, she is the heir of the heavenly family, if she is ordered to shoot a few arrows to see, can she not obey?
Although she was a little helpless in her heart and expected this step, if King Jing really wanted her to shoot arrows, she didn't want to give in.
Fung has always insisted on performing "just right" at all times and in all places – neither particularly outstanding nor particularly backward. But I don't know why, in the face of this King Jing, who was brilliant in battle at a young age, she didn't want to be casually perfunctory and embarrassed.
I saw King Jing walk into the small pavilion, and after drawing a bow for adults, he said: "The archers and archers of this king's silver armor army all use one stone bow, but there are also two stone bows. ”
Feng Zhirong heard a smile on the corner of her mouth: "My mother said, I'm too wild, and my father doesn't know where to start." ”
King Jing hooked the corners of his mouth as he listened to her words, but did not speak. Then he randomly drew an arrow and hit the bull's-eye almost without aiming. Just look at the cluster of arrows completely buried in the wooden target, until it is about to penetrate the thick wooden stake, and the arrow body is straight and exposed, which is very intimidating!
"So fast!"
That arrow made Feng Zhirong's eyes light up, and she immediately clapped her hands and applauded, and said: "The prince is skilled in archery, and he must have put in a lot of effort!" ”
King Jing hooked the corners of his mouth and did not speak. He tilted his head again and instructed, "It's your turn." ”
Feng Zhirong's original mind was dissipated by this arrow, so she took her usual bow with great interest and said: "Today I shot an arrow all morning, and now my strength has not been able to recover, so I am here to make a fool of myself." As she said this, she didn't bother to be humble for a while, but King Jing didn't say anything.
I saw King Jing looking at Feng Zhirong, who was in high spirits, and he didn't feel that he had a smile that no one could notice: "It's okay, it's just playing." ”
Feng Zhirong didn't look at King Jing, but straightened up his sleeves, and then drew an arrow, stretched his bow, aimed, and released the arrow
Make move!
That is Feng Zhirong's usual trick, but to seek the result of refinement and refinement
Feng Zhirong's arrow almost without exception penetrated the tail of the arrow sent by King Jing, cracked the body of the arrow, firmly embedded in the crack of the target, and bit the tail end of the previous arrow!
King Jing did not applaud, but a strong sense of approval appeared in his eyes.
Feng Zhirong was not optimistic about this arrow, after all, the moment she picked up the bow, she knew that her strength had not fully recovered, if she was not completely sure, she would not have given King Jing a preventive injection first, saying that her current physical strength and state had not yet reached the best.
Feng Zhirong put the bow on the small table in the pavilion, patted her sleeve, and made a simple salute to King Jing: "This arrow is really a fluke, the courtiers are ugly." ”
King Jing looked at the little girl in front of him for a long time before he said: "Xun Jian Zheng is right, the girl of the Feng family will definitely be a woman who can enter and exit in the future." ”
Feng Zhirong was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head and said, "This is just a small skill of carving insects, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”
King Jing shook his head, put the bow back in his hand, and said: "If you don't work hard every day, you can't do this kind of skill, and this king has been fighting for many years, and this little thing can also be seen." ”
Feng Zhirong saw that King Jing had said this, and she was no longer humble, so she said: "It would be good if I could do this every day in the future, but I'm afraid that I won't have this opportunity in the future." ”
"Why?"
Feng Zhirong smiled and said: "A while ago, Master Liu of Qin Tianjian brought the news, thanks to Your Majesty's grace, you have to enter the palace to study after the courtiers set up a concubine, and now there is no more than a month left, how far can you practice this archery art?" ”
King Jing looked at Feng Zhirong's slightly regretful expression, and his heart moved slightly, and said, "If you have the heart to study, you can not be in the palace, and this king can also arrange it." ”
Feng Zhirong didn't understand why King Jing would say this, only that the two met for the first time, and they were not related to each other - oh no, maybe not because they were not related to each other, after all, King Jing was the son of the current queen, and the current queen was her cousin, so King Jing was also her sixth cousin.
Speaking of this relative, this relative is already a bit far away, and because of Feng Xu, the Feng family is not allowed to arbitrarily tell the story of their relationship with the royal family - on the one hand, this can not only make the emperor and queen in the palace feel at ease, but also avoid provoking unnecessary jealousy or interests.
"I thought I wouldn't go, I hate trouble after all." Feng Zhirong paused for a while, and then said: "But I hate to run away from trouble, not to mention that this is still an eye-opening opportunity." ”
Moreover, there is another reason hidden in Feng Zhirong's heart, but it is abrupt to say it at this time.
After a pause, Feng Zhirong's eyes regained their brightness: "There is a saying that 'soldiers will block, and water will cover the earth', and my grandfather also said that a girl like me will always marry in the future, and there are not many opportunities to live happily in the future, so it is better to hone your heart as soon as possible and see if you can tame the wild horse of the courtier!" ”
King Jing hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "The little girl didn't think about running away? ”
Feng Zhirong shook her head seriously: "No, I didn't think about it, and I couldn't." ”
"But what if this king gives you a chance to escape, so that you can choose again?" King Jing said slowly, with a hint of pampering in his words: "You can choose to grow up happily at home until you get married, is this good?" ”
Feng Zhirong said: "The courtiers used to avoid some things, but it was very bad to feel like that...... So the courtiers made up their minds, and this life ...... There is no escaping from anything in this life. ”
In the previous life, she was only injured because she fell from the high platform, and she could no longer overcome the fear of going on stage, which led to the fact that she had to give up her favorite stage and return to her hometown and change the runway, and because of this, she suffered the catastrophe of the previous life.
Maybe she never thought about going back to living a good life in this life, but the feeling of "not wanting to regret it anymore" has long been ingrained, and because of this, she made up her mind when she was very young and very young in this life, and she didn't want to run away from anything in the future.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
"It's rare that you are so resolute at such a young age." King Jing praised in a flat tone and said, "There is still a long way to go in life in the future, are you sure that you should be able to implement your beliefs?" ”
Feng Zhirong hesitated for a moment and said, "This is the path that the courtiers have chosen with great difficulty, and since they have already chosen, they should follow throughout...... As for what will happen in the future, who knows? ”
"Yes! Who knows? King Jing glanced at the sky outside the pavilion and said, "Girl, this king only said this once, you can remember it." ”
Feng Zhirong's bright and penetrating eyes looked at the young man who impressed her. The young man's original appearance of being high above and like the pride of the sky was momentarily in his eyes, and the pride, the rich blood and anger were all gone, replaced by a trace of melancholy and indifference: "If you feel tired in the palace and want to leave...... Then this king should flee from you once and for all. ”
I'm not going to run away.
