Chapter 12: Crazy Arrows
Xiao An saw that his master had no other instructions, and respectfully withdrew. He shook his head and hummed a little song, only to feel that the wind was no longer cold, the trees were not shaking, and Chu Yuyuan seemed to be ushering in a different bright spring.
Brother You'er's body is getting better day by day, and everyone is relieved. After this serious illness, Brother You'er, who was reluctant to practice martial arts in the past, was also forced by the old lady Zhou to practice martial arts well. It's a pity that the matter of falling into the water still can't find out why, it was dark that night and there was no clear witness, maybe it was just that Brother You'er accidentally slipped into the water, and the matter was temporarily shelved.
The marriage of Yao Yun and Xiao Shihong was also put on the agenda, and the two exchanged eight-character Geng posts. The old lady Zhou also specially ordered Liu's mother to go to Xiangguo Temple in person, and invited the monks of Xiangguo Temple to plan the auspicious day of the zodiac.
Master Mingkong pinched his fingers and counted it, and when he counted the birthday of his mother Yao, his eyes were slightly awkward and swaying.
The lady's life is obviously the life of the noble, but unfortunately the first half of her life is upside down, the fate is tragic, only when she meets the person of the Dimensity Star who has a very hard life, can she successfully resolve her bad luck, reverse the fortune, and the second half of her life is safe and smooth.
However, now that this Lang Jun's life is weak and weak, he is not her lover, and he may kill her husband again.
He meditated hard, but the heavenly opportunity could not be revealed, and the destiny of heaven could not be violated, so he could only give the two of them an auspicious luck charm.
The wedding date was set for July of the following year.
Aunt Fang personally received the marriage letter sent by Aunt Qin of Yunqi Courtyard, and was so angry that she smashed the two precious vases in the house, and the rude scolding was endless.
"I'm so angry with my mother, why does my baby Brother Hong marry that widow from the countryside and with a humble status? Why? ”
She looked at her good daughter Xiao Xiuying, who was sitting on the side drinking tea and watching coldly, and she was full of anger and didn't fight anywhere: "Drink, drink, what's so delicious?" What if you are like a fish in water among the ladies and ladies of Chang'an? There is a fart, family background determines everything, if your eldest brother marries such a despicable person, you also want to marry high. ”
Xiao Xiuying, the seventh lady, ignored it, staring coldly at the cold tea, her eyes becoming more and more fierce. She has worked hard for many years, and has won a good reputation among the ladies and ladies of Chang'an. She must not be dragged down by her brother and unable to marry into the high gate.
The sixth day of December is a good day for winter hunting in Lishan.
There had been a heavy snowfall the night before, and the ground was covered in snow. Ruixue Mega Year seems to mean a good harvest in the coming year.
Today was supposed to be a happy day to go out and play, but Shen Chaoyun's face was extremely gloomy at this time.
In addition to Jiuniang Xiao Xiuqing, she also had to take the sixth lady Xiao Xiuwan and the seventh lady Xiao Xiuying to go together. I don't know what kind of pillow wind Fang Yirou blew to the uncle, but the uncle agreed without hesitation.
Originally, Yao Yun's name was included in the list reported to the Ministry of Rites, but the people above said that the female dependents of the Zhenguo Mansion exceeded the quota, and directly crossed out the name of the distant relative's cousin. But Xiao Xiuqing begged her to go with her, so she had to pretend to be the personal maid of Jiu Niangzi and go forward together.
She changed into a goose-yellow monochrome dress, combed two stacks of horned hair, smart and handsome, and really looked like a delicate little girl.
Wanqing Garden is located at the foot of the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, which is a chic and beautiful royal palace, warm in winter and cool in summer, with unique scenery. The ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion were placed in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the East Garden, which was very close to the Liyuan where the saint and the queen were located, except for the two unsightly concubines, the eldest lady Shen was quite satisfied with these arrangements.
The hunt in the mountains and forests has begun! The gentlemen had already changed into a tall and mighty hunting suit, and they were enthusiastic and eager to try. If you can come out on top, you will not only be rewarded by a saint, but you may also be able to seek a position as an official.
On the other hand, the ladies in Wanqing Garden were also curious and excited, and everyone received the hairpin box from the queen sent by the housekeeper's aunt.
I heard that today's queen is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, clever in mind, loves to be lively, and will hold all kinds of banquets every year. This year, I came up with a hairpin banquet with the theme of "hairpins", but instead of using bright and vivid flowers as hairpins, hairpins with paper, silk and bamboo are used to design hairpins. On the second day of the hairpin feast, the lady who won the first prize will personally receive the reward of the queen's mother.
If you can get into the sharp eyes of Queen Liu and get the praise of Queen Liu, it will be easy to marry into a high gate in the future. The ladies racked their brains to be ingenious, and they must leave a good impression on Queen Liu.
Xiao Xiuqing didn't care much about this matter, and casually threw the hairpin box to the maid behind her, and seeing that there was no one outside the house, she mysteriously pulled Yao Yun into the house, looking like she wanted to say something.
Xiao Xiuying looked at the two people in front of her who entered the room lightly, and her eyes became more and more gloomy.
"Yun Niang, you, you have been married, and you know a lot about children's affairs, are you willing to help me?" After hesitation, she finally asked.
Yao Yun saw her blushing and shy appearance, and immediately understood, and asked jokingly: "I see, isn't there any intention that Jiu Niang is here?" ”
Her body shook for a moment, and she patted her hot blushing face with trembling hands, and nodded abruptly.
The two of them walked slowly on the mountain forest path of Huiling Peak, surrounded by dense, high and low woods and shrubs, and the brown, black and yellow dry branches were stained with a little snow, brown and white, and there was a sense of detachment. If you look closely, there are already many Lang Jun hunting in the mountains and forests.
Xiao Xiuqing looked around excitedly, her eyes lit up, she pulled her sleeves, glanced at her, and said coquettishly: "It's him, he, he's the seventh lang Li Xuan of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War." ”
Xiao Xiuqing hurriedly trotted to the side of that Lang Jun, and took out a delicate sachet from his arms with a soft smile and gave it to him. It's a pity that she has eaten ashes many times here in Li Xu, and as she expected, that Lang Jun indifferently turned around and took the bow and arrow, and no longer bothered her.
Xiao Xiu walked back with a disgraced face, and tugged at her sleeve pitifully.
Yao Yun shook his head helplessly, and when he turned his face sideways and was about to speak, there was only a loud sound left in his ears!
There was a tingling in her earlobe, and the warm, sticky liquid flowed down her jade-colored neck, staining her collar with a scarlet color, along with a few strands of hair that had been cut off from the edge of her earlobe.
She reacted quickly, and finally saw clearly that what landed in a sassy manner was a blood-stained white-feathered cuckoo-patterned arrow. It's a common bow and arrow for women!
Xiao Xiuqing was so frightened that she pulled her to squat on the mud and snow, and said timidly and panickedly: "Yun Niang, you, your ears are bleeding, you are ......"
"I'm fine...... Yao Yun hurriedly pushed her arm away, wanting to see clearly who was shooting arrows at her in front of her, but unfortunately the generals and Lang Jun who came to watch and comfort came one after another, and her vision was completely blocked.
