Chapter 15: Archery Genius
After lunch, Fu Xuechen found that there was no lunch break system for students in this year, and there would be no gentleman who would ask you to take a nap at what time you had to take a nap, but only asked you to go to the martial arts arena on time at about half an hour in the afternoon, that is, at two o'clock in the afternoon in the future, to learn riding and archery.
During the period, whether you lie on the table and fall asleep, or continue to study hard, or play noisily with your friends, or even skip class and run around, you can go, but this is in the palace after all, a group of accompanying teenagers dare not be presumptuous, and the cold wind is blowing outside, it is better to light a charcoal basin in the house to warm up, so there are people who sleep, and there are more people who are chatting and chatting.
Yu Zuo was also very interested in Fu Xuechen's personal situation, and asked a lot of questions about Fu Xuechen's experience in Guozixue, but fortunately, Fu Xuechen went to Guozixue a few times in order to find a script for Fu Yuchen, and combined with Fu Yuchen's usual words, he could barely cope with it.
When Yu Zuo talked about the rise, he also mentioned some of his own situation, these princes and princesses, in fact, they had just moved from their hometown in Huaidong to Beijing at the end of last year, and before that, they were all living in the palace of Marquis Wu, the palace before they ruled the world and became emperor.
At that time, Jinshang was still leading troops to fight the world, and he couldn't take care of these children at all, except for the second prince who followed him as a military Chinese official at that time, almost all the other princes were herding wild horses in their hometowns, either inviting their husbands to teach in the mansion for a while, or going to private schools.
But because of the war in the world, they are not princes and princesses, and they have to hide their identity as today's children for their own safety, so the level of teachers who can be invited is not very good, and the time that can teach them is not long, so that they have wasted many days.
It was not until now that the imperial palace in Shangjing was also repaired, and the world was selected on an auspicious day to take over these princes and daughters and their mothers together, that there was an event in which Mingde Hall was opened, and the edict ordered Ji Daxue and Li Hanlin to educate them as the teachers of Mingde Hall, and at the same time select companions.
"My fourth brother and fifth brother are all good, when I was enlightened, my father was already the marquis, and the family was the mother of the fourth brother - and now the queen mother is in charge, and she has a little extra wealth, so we are all taught by the gentlemen who invited the house."
Yu Zuo smiled: "My eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are miserable, I heard that they all lived in the countryside before they were ten years old, and they went to private school, not to mention, and when they got home, they had to go to pigweed and grazing, as well as learn to cultivate farmland!" ”
Fu Xuechen listened to the embarrassment, as far as she knew, her father Jingbeihou was born in a general's family, not to mention that he belonged to a large family in the Central Plains, and his mother was a noble daughter of a scholarly family.
In this comparison, before the emperor is now, the lives of these princes and princesses may not be as good as the extravagant enjoyment of her companion.
When he was a teenager, he was the most energetic, and neither Yu Zuo nor Fu Xuechen needed to take a nap, so when the time was almost up, they got up and set off first.
The house where the prince and his companions are resting has already lit a charcoal basin, baked the air warm, and there is also hot tea, anyone who is thirsty can take it by themselves, Fu Xuechen wanted to stay in the house and wait for the martial arts class to start, but the six princes couldn't sit still, and they passed the house without entering.
A short distance from the next door, there is an arsenal with weapons from the guard camp and wooden knives and swords for beginners to practice.
Yu Zuo dragged Fu Xuechen together, ran straight to the front of the arsenal, and took two bows and two pots of arrows with the eunuch guarding the warehouse, and then went straight to the martial arts arena with great interest: "Go!" Let's go to the shooting range first, and I'll teach you how to practice archery well. ”
Different from the comfort of riding on a horse, archery with a bow is very laborious, Fu Xuechen has already passed the freshness of archery when she first crossed over, she is lazy to practice on weekdays, and she is also lacking in interest at the moment, she really doesn't want to use up her arm strength before she officially takes martial arts classes.
"Yuchen is coming!" Yu Zuo was beckoning to her: "You open your bow and shoot an arrow first, I'll see." ”
Fu Xuechen rolled his eyes, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, my archery skills are passed down by my father Jingbei Marquis, although I am not proficient, but I don't think my father's teaching is wrong, if you want to teach me, you have to prove that your archery skills are more exquisite than mine!" ”
Ooh! This is not expecting my archery skills! Yu Zuo's youthful spirit was aroused.
"No problem! You're good to go! Without saying a word, Yu Zuo immediately chose the target, stood in the shooting position, and pulled out the four-stone bow in his hand first.
"Whew!"
As soon as Yu Zuo shot out, it was a double arrow, the arrows were like shuttles, going straight to the bull's-eye, piercing the grass target fiercely, and the white feathers of the arrow tail were still trembling slightly.
Fu Xuechen was taken aback, the Sixth Prince was so confident that she wanted to be her teacher of Kaixiaozao, she already knew that the archery skills of the Six Princes should not be bad, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"This trick is called chasing the stars and chasing the moon." Yu Zuo couldn't hold it back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he took out three arrows again, sandwiched them between his fingers, and then held his breath and pulled the bowstring again.
Fu Xuechen's eyes widened, thinking that he would shoot three arrows this time, but the bowstring flicked, but it was "collapse" three times, the three arrows were one in front of one in the middle and one back, and they shot out continuously, the first arrow hit the bull's-eye first, followed by the second arrow, and finally the third arrow.
"It's called a meteor alignment." Yu Zuo said the name.
Fu Xuechen touched his chin that was about to dislocate, and he was really convinced!
Before that, her perception had always been that archery was a skill that required years of practice to become perfect, and as long as everyone practiced for about the same amount of time, the hit rate would not be much different.
Who would have thought that there are such magical teenagers in the world, how old are they? already has such archery skills, could it be that some people are talented, just so awesome?!
"Your Highness...... How did His Highness practice? That's amazing! "Fu Xuechen is stupid.
Yu Zuo smiled faintly: "Naturally, talent and diligence account for half of each, and mastering the skills of making power is particularly important." ”
What he didn't reveal was that in fact, he really liked to practice archery since he was a child, and others may not be able to pull the lightest stone bow until he was nine or ten years old before he could start practicing archery, but because he was born with brute strength, he was able to pull a stone bow at the age of six.
Therefore, he actually has to practice archery for three or four years more than his peers, and he specially chose a 50-meter target this time, and the difficulty of hitting the target is also the lowest, so as to achieve the effect of suppressing the opponent in one fell swoop.
