On the fifteenth day of May in the fifth year of Tiansheng, a sunny day.

The city by the river is hot.

In addition, it is currently in the warm period of the climate, and the heat is earlier.

It was humid and stuffy, which made Jia Hui, who was already afraid of heat, stay in the house all day long.

There is no way in the northwest, plus dryness, the general sweat is evaporated as soon as it flows out, and it can be endured.

It's different here in Gangnam.

The humid air perfectly trapped the sweat on the body, and the clothes were glued together, and the sticky stood outside for a while and sweated, and the clothes were soaked!

It was too hot during the day, so the birthday feast was held in the evening.

Jia Hui, who couldn't stand the heat, had to live in Lin Mansion and didn't go to the barracks.

For this bit of ice hidden in the Lin Mansion!

As for saltpeter ice making, Jia Hui also tried, but it was gone except for a large basin of cold water.

I used well water to make ice, but the cost went up, and it wasted manpower and saltpeter, and the ice made was less!

The most important thing is that since gunpowder was used as a war, it has directly affected the price of saltpeter and the stock of the people.

Just these saltpeters, he still got them from the gunpowder workshop in the army.

However, it is still good to have a cold drink.

Suck!

Jia Hui took a sip of the herbal tea that exuded cold air in the cup, held it in his mouth and did not move, and only swallowed it into his stomach after a few breaths, the cold one is called a transparent!

"Brother Hui, let's go play pitcher!" Daiyu, who had just finished today's schoolwork, walked into the small courtyard where Jia Hui was temporarily staying, and the maids behind her stopped at the door with the things used to throw pots.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Daiyu quickly turned around, covering her eyes, her little face flushed.

Jia Hui was wearing only a pair of bloomers, and was reclining on the Luohan bed covered with a mat, casually tied a ponytail and drooped on the side bib, and most importantly, she didn't wear a top!

Jia Hui casually pulled off the cotton and linen round-necked robe on the front bib, straightened up, and put on his clothes lazily.

"On this hot day, what kind of pitcher are you playing, come, Daiyu, take a sip of herbal tea first..."

After hearing the faint sound of dressing and the crunch of clogs, Daiyu slowly turned around and looked at Jia Hui through her fingers.

After confirming that the eldest cousin was really dressed, he breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand down.

thanked him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and instantly shivered coldly, and the whole person suddenly became a lot more transparent.

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she learned Jia Hui's drinking method without a teacher, and drank a cup of tea like this.

Jia Hui looked lovingly at Daiyu, who was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

The age difference is too big, and coupled with the relationship between Jia Min and Jia Min's aunt and nephew, which is actually a sister and brother, Jia Hui treats Lin Daiyu more as a niece.

Looking at his niece, ah no, the happy appearance of the little cousin when she drank the cold drink, the irritability caused by the hot day has been reduced a lot.

"Why don't you play pitcher with your sister? Isn't it that my sister doesn't play well, and my brother dislikes my sister? ”

Daiyu sat on the stool and looked at Jia Hui with an aggrieved expression.

To be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that her father was on a business trip at the yamen in the front yard, her mother and grandmother were busy with the evening banquet, and even Brother Zhu was lecturing to several other cousins, and no one took care of herself, otherwise, she wouldn't have come to look for this, and her cousin who was speechless when she met for the first time!

"Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that my brother's method is a little..."

"What should I have done because of this! It's okay, it's okay, how could my sister laugh at my brother! ”

If you hadn't covered your mouth and smiled, I'd have believed you, brother.

"That's... Come on, don't say that I bullied you for your young age, I'll just sit at the door, ten steps away! ”

"It's a deal!"

Daiyu saw for the first time that this big man with hair was so pleasing to the eye, turned around and hurriedly arranged the field with the maids and women, and there were not many things, so calculate the distance and put the copper kettle away.

Daiyu hurriedly walked out, and Jia Hui also got off the couch and walked out of the door on clogs.

"Ahh

As soon as Jia Hui lifted the curtain, he was hit back by a heat wave, and he felt like he was about to be baked.

Opened the curtain again, endured the sun and kept Daiyu, who was also hot and sweating, into the house, and beckoned the maids and women to bring everything into the house.

"I can't be outside, in case I get you hot again, your mother will have to beat me to death when the time comes! It's still in the house! ”

Daiyu nodded, she had just been hit by the heatwave.

Fortunately, this room is quite spacious, and several mothers-in-law moved the tables and chairs, cleaned up an open space, and placed it on the right side of the room, and Jia Hui and Daiyu stood on the left side of the room.

Let Daiyu stand six or seven steps away from the pitcher, and Jia Hui took ten steps back again.

"Don't say that my brother bullied you, come, you vote first!" Jia Hui held a special arrow for pitching pots and pointed at Daiyu with a carved feather.

"I'll go first, I'll go first!" Daiyu tilted her chin, pulled out an arrow from her quiver, shook it, looked at it with a serious face, took a closer look, and threw it with a jump...

Boast!

The round wooden arrow pierced through the middle, spun twice in the air, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Laugh at!

Daiyu immediately turned around and looked at Jia Hui with a frown.

Jia Hui looked at the wooden arrow on the ground with a regretful expression, shook his head, and had an expression of "look at what I did", as if he had just discovered that Daiyu was looking at him.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"Brother Hun, you're smiling!"

"You heard me wrong."

"Just laughed!"

"If you don't laugh, if you don't believe me, ask them and let them tell if they saw me laughing!"

"Hmph, just ask!"

Daiyu looked at her big girl Snow Goose with a smug face.

"Slaves, slaves... I don't know..."Snow Goose lowered her head guiltily.

Daiyu looked at the snow goose with a surprised expression, and then turned to look at the others.

They also lowered their heads, not daring to look at Daiyu.

It's no wonder that they don't help Daiyu, it's really that they don't dare to disturb the interest of the Grand Duke!

The net worth and life of the entire Lin Mansion were all in the mind of the Metropolitan Governor, in case it disturbed the interest of the Metropolitan Governor, and in a fit of anger, he took his wife and eldest girl back to his parents' house, leaving the master here alone.

In the past two years, everyone didn't know how many thieves had come to the house, so they could only grieve Miss.

"Hehehehe... Look, am I laughing at it? Jia Hui took out a folding fan from his waist and opened it, writing four characters on it.

Arrogant and domineering

"Hmph, it doesn't count, it doesn't count! Just now, my sister wasn't ready, so I didn't take advantage of the arrows, so I started again! ”

Daiyu twisted her body and said stiffly.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance!" Jia Hui doesn't care, just play with the little girl, just be happy.

Daiyu pulled an arrow out of her quiver again, took a deep breath, held her breath, and aimed at the spout again...

"Hah!"

Daiyu tiptoed the arrow in her hand again, and the light wooden arrow was thrown up and fell...

"Oh, I'm hit!" The little lady clapped her hands happily, and the maids and ladies around her spit out auspicious words like no money.

"Piercing ears, isn't it bad, you must have played a lot of time in normal times, right?"

"That's... Ah no, no, no, my sister just plays with her mother and grandmother on weekdays. ”

Daiyu struggled to explain.

"Well, if my sister doesn't want to say it, don't say it..."

Jia Hui said that he understood, and would not tell your wife about the fact that you often play pitching pots.

Seeing that the eldest cousin agreed so quickly, Daiyu felt that she was going to be worse.

"Don't talk about this, come, Brother Hun, it's your turn!"

Attentively pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and Daiyu handed the arrow to Jia Hui.

"Well, voila!"

After looking at the wooden arrow in his hand, the whole body was made of pine wood, as if it had a pulp, and after carefully looking at the arrow, Jia Hui was pleasantly surprised to find that he recognized this set of arrows!

"Alas... In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed! Jia Hui sighed.

"Oh? What is my brother feeling? My sister is curious! Seeing Jia Hui's nostalgic face, Daiyu couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and leaned over to ask.

"Nothing, sister, do you know the origin of this set of pitchers?" Jia Hui suddenly threw out a question, which quickly aroused Daiyu's curiosity.

"Brother Hun, isn't this my mother's dowry?"

"Of course, it's my aunt's dowry, but what about before?"

"Before? Brother Hun, is this what you did? Daiyu also heard Jia Min tell the glorious deeds of her eldest cousin Jia Hui.

"Well, it's close, but how can I have the craft to do this?

This is what I ran all over Beiping City until I found the best shop for this thing, and it took me dozens of taels of silver to make it. ”

Jia Hui rubbed the word "Min" carved on the round arrow.

"Back then, it was your mother who taught me to throw pots hand in hand. When I got older, she taught me archery hand in hand, but her archery skills were sparse..."

Jia Hui suddenly paused.

"By the way, Daiyu, do you want to learn archery?"

"Archery? What am I doing to learn this? ”

"What? As a son and daughter of the general, how can you not know archery? If you want to learn, I'll send someone tomorrow to buy you a small soft bow that you can use! ”

"Sons and daughters of Jiangmen? But my father is a royal history, besides, isn't the title long gone? ”

Daiyu was a little puzzled.

"Well, the liehou is gone, but if it is normal, the emperor has given your grandfather another generation of liehous, then in the next generation, when your father is demoted to the throne, it should be the earl.

In another way, remove the generation of your grandfather, your family's title will follow three generations, and your father is also a viscount, how can it be considered a proper honorable general! ”

The Lin family is actually not the marquis of this dynasty, he is actually a noble family who was canonized at the end of the previous dynasty.

At the end of the Liang Dynasty, the Lin family relied on the suppression of smuggled salt dealers, the suppression of the Jiangnan rebel army, the killing of the White Lotus Sect and many other achievements, so that they got the title of marquis, Shizhen Gusu.

Except for the special explanations of the nobles of the Liang Dynasty, the nature of the rest of the people is actually hereditary.

In the passage of time, it was the last years of the Liang Dynasty after the Great Tax Increase of the Mourning Sect. At this time, the first generation of Marquis Lin had passed away, and the second generation of marquis fell on the young Lin Ruhai's grandfather.

As the only marquis in Jiangnan, Mrs. Lin was promoted to the garrison of Jinling by Aizong.

Then Taizu sent the troops of the South Road, that is, the army led by Jia Yan, the later Duke of Ningguo, all the way to the city of Jinling.

At that time, the old lady Lin who was the garrison of Jinling, after blocking the two waves of the offensive of the Qi army, the old lady Lin knew that Jinling's soldiers and horses alone would definitely not be able to hold it, not to mention that the Qi army on the southern road had successfully surrounded Jinling, and the breakthrough could not break through, so she simply tied up the governor of Jiangning and surrendered in Kaecheng.

With the great merit of dedicating Jinling City, he continued the title of the Lin family.

After the founding of the country, the Lin family also went ashore smoothly, and as the first high-ranking lord to descend to Qi, the Lin family kept its wealth.

Soon, seven years passed!

Lin Ruhai's grandfather made meritorious contributions to the war, and renewed the title of the Lin family for another generation, which is the third generation of liehous.

Time has passed for decades, and Lin Ruhai's father has become a knight, due to the emperor's behavior in the early years of going to Jiangnan, the local nobles and wealthy families in Jiangnan are familiar in front of the emperor, Lin Ruhai's father is one of them, and later, on the one hand, it is comfortable to be served, and on the other hand, it is also to collect the loyalty of the nobles in Jiangnan. With a stroke of his pen, the emperor gave the southern nobles a generation of titles.

Lin Ruhai's father got another generation of marquis because of this.

Later, Prince Li rebelled, and the Lin family, who was far away in the south, was implicated in taking care of Jiangnan affairs for the Prince's Mansion, seized the title, and died depressed.

However, the emperor did not expand this matter, but only took the knighthood, and did not confiscate the family property, plus Lin Ruhai himself has also been admitted to the first-class Tanhua and was born as a Jinshi, so the Lin family completed the family transformation from martial arts to literature in an instant by chance.

"In this way, I'm really a general..."Daiyu always felt that something was wrong.

"It's a real gatekeeper, then this matter is decided, I'll let someone go and buy you a good soft bow, and when the time comes, teach you archery!"

Jia Hui smiled and touched the head of the bag on top of Daiyu's head, causing Daiyu to quickly dodge.

"After all that, are you still going to vote? Don't be unskilled, you want to make me faint and fish in troubled waters, right? Daiyu looked at Jia Hui with a look of "I've seen through you" and said triumphantly.

"Hey, little girl, goblin, come on, get out of the way!"

Jia Hui leaned over, reached out and grabbed the head of the bag again, grabbing her master aside.

Jia Hui took the wooden arrow and wanted to throw it out directly, but in order to coax the child, he still made an exaggerated appearance, took a look, and then threw it.

"There is a beginning! Cast in! Seeing Jia Hui's arrow hitting the mouth of the pot in the center, Daiyu couldn't help cheering, but when she thought that the person next to her was her opponent, she quickly tightened her face and became serious.

"How, how? Am I not good at it? How could Jia Hui let go of the little lady in front of him so easily, causing Daiyu to roll her eyes at him.

"Don't be complacent, I'll win!"

Daiyu puffed out her little face, took out another arrow from her quiver, and aimed at it for a long time before throwing it hesitantly.

While!

The arrow slammed into the spout of the pot and landed on the ground in a whirl.

"Hahahaha!"

Jia Hui couldn't hold back any longer and laughed.

"Humph!" Daiyu didn't want to speak, so she slashed Jia Hui with an eye knife, don't turn her head and refuse to speak.

"Here, hand me the arrows!"

Jia Hui poked Daiyu's bag head, and Daiyu reluctantly pulled out an arrow and handed it to Jia Hui.

"Come, look, my brother will show you a hand!" Jia Hui didn't aim at it this time, as if he had thrown it out casually, only to hear a bang, which was the sound of the arrow hitting the bottom of the pot.

"Lianzhong, haha!"

Jia Hui laughed and rubbed Daiyu's head, but Daiyu got rid of it without saying a word and walked towards the door.

"Oops, hey, it's a hot day, where do you want to go? Stopped playing? ”

"I don't want to play anymore!" Daiyu turned around, gave a perfunctory salute, turned her head and walked away.

"Tsk, compared to me, the little girl is too tender!"

He pulled out another arrow from his quiver, and threw it again!

"Wow, three in a row! Scattered arrows! ”

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I came back too late yesterday, and I fell asleep on the keyboard after two thousand words, and I woke up at three o'clock in the morning...
