Three-three-six: Shoot three arrows
In the early morning, before dawn, the early birds stood side by side on the courtyard wall, curiously looking at the various colors in the Nuoda Mansion.
The servants and guards of the Wu family ran back and forth, the back kitchen was steaming, and the chef began to get busy, and everywhere was full of joy.
In the bridal room.
"Whoa."
A splash sounded, and then two snow-white wrists were placed on the edge of the bathtub, and a special personal maid stepped forward, bringing three small wooden steps and placing them on the side of the bathtub.
At this moment, in the wedding room, except for Wu Mi's personal maidservant, all the maids turned their backs together, and in the next second, a perfect jade body that seemed to be a masterpiece of heaven stood up straight in the bathtub, and the red fruit was exposed in the wedding room.
Wu Mi raised his hand, and the personal maid suddenly stepped forward to support Wu Mi's wrist, and then the perfect ketone body stepped out of the bathtub and stood on the wooden steps.
Wu Mi's figure is curvy, concave and convex, crisp chest and hips, hair is scattered like a waterfall, the slender willow waist seems to be less than a hand, but between the slightly thin and thin, there is a feeling of flexibility, flat and delicate lower abdomen, there is no trace of excess fat, the jade legs are lightly divided, the clear water droplets cross the mountains and rivers, and the wooden steps under the feet are soaked along the jade legs.
The personal maid brought a clean towel and wiped the water droplets on Wu Mi's body from head to toe.
After wiping, the personal maid spread the towel on the ground, and Wu Mi walked down the steps and stepped on the towel.
The personal slave maid once again brought the scented red undershirt and waited for Wu Mi to put it on.
When the white jade-like delicate body was completely wrapped in clothes, the personal slave coughed lightly, and the other maids in the room turned around.
A maid brought a big red carpet and spread it from where Wu Mi was standing to the position of the dresser.
Wu Mi stepped on the red carpet and sat down in front of the dresser, and in the bronze mirror, a face with exquisite facial features, a face like a peach blossom, and a round and jade face was suddenly reflected.
A group of maids came forward, some maids knelt in front of Wu Mi, put on Luo socks for her, some maids helped Wu Mi dry her hair, and some maids put on makeup for her.
Wu Mi was like a doll, at the mercy of the maids.
After the whole dress was finished, and the phoenix crown was put on, the sky that had not yet dawned before was already glowing with white light at this moment.
The maids all withdrew from the marriage room, leaving only the personal maidservants.
The personal maid took out a booklet from her arms, handed it to Wu Mi with a red face, and said softly: "Miss, this is what the old lady told the slave to give you." ”
Wu Mi was slightly stunned, took a look at it, and found that it was a spring palace book.
If it were other women who had not yet come out of the pavilion, they would definitely bow their heads shyly when they saw this kind of thing, or they would throw this spring palace book aside.
But Wu Mi's face was indifferent, but he looked at it with interest, and finally gave it to his personal maid, saying, "I understand, there is no need for this." ”
When she was studying medicine, she studied the acupuncture point structure of the human body.
I also know how to do things in Dunlun.
The personal slave's face turned a little redder, put away the booklet, and then said respectfully: "Miss, it's still early before the auspicious time, the slave maid will go and get you some food, right?" ”
"Yes."
……
The wedding robe worn by Chen Mo was sent by the Wu family, and when the time came, Chen Mo changed into a wedding robe, rode a big white horse, wore a big red flower on his chest, and led a welcoming team composed of pro-military camps, carrying a sedan chair, and walking towards the Wu family.
The marriage was held in the ancestral house of the Wu family, so Chen Mo wanted to use a sedan chair to take Wu Mi to the ancestral house of the Wu family.
Half an hour before the auspicious time, Chen Mo led the welcoming team and arrived outside the Wu family.
At this time, the Wu family was already full of lights, and Wu Yanqing, his wife, son, daughter, son-in-law, and other Wu family members who were related to the deceased also came one after another.
The wedding steps of the family are very cumbersome, such as carrying a sedan chair and crossing the brazier.
Before that, it is necessary to look at the dowry, the man goes to the woman to move the "dowry", and the woman puts the dowry in the hall for people to watch.
The utensils are draped with red colored threads, the clothes are smoked with sandalwood, and several copper coins are placed at the bottom of the box, commonly known as "pressing box money".
Originally, the dowry was to be carried out the day before the marriage, but Chen Mo got married at the woman's house, so he watched it on the day of the wedding.
However, before looking at the dowry, there is another test, that is, archery, to show that the groom's bravery can protect the bride, also known as "shooting three arrows".
In fact, this step is mainly to go through the motions, but when Chen Mo saw that Wu Changlin had changed into a military uniform and looked at himself with a little provocation, Chen Mo knew that it was not just a matter of going through the motions.
The Wu family next to him also watched a good show.
If an outsider wants to marry the daughter of the Wu family, he must give him some color.
"That's pretty much it, such a big event, don't make everyone unable to get off the stage." Wu Yanqing said softly to Wu Changlin.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'm measured." Wu Changlin walked towards Chen Mo.
Wu Yanqing frowned, but didn't say anything, there is indeed such a link before this marriage, and the etiquette cannot be bad.
Wu Changlin came to Chen Mo and pointed his finger to the southwest.
There was a willow tree in the direction he pointed, and three fist-sized peaches hung from the willow tree with rope tied to it.
In front of the three peaches in a parallel position, there are also three copper coins.
After ordering, Wu Changlin gave Chen Mo three specially made arrows and said, "Have you seen those three copper coins and those three peaches?"
The rules are very simple, with this thin arrow, after shooting through the copper eye of the copper coin, and then shooting the peach, it is considered a success. Three arrows for one person, if you don't shoot, the next person will shoot, and if you shoot, you will continue to shoot, and after shooting three arrows, see who succeeds more times and who wins, no problem, right? ”
Wu Changlin asked Lu Tong to bring a strong bow of twelve stones to Chen Mo.
One stone bow is equivalent to 60 catties of tensile force, and twelve stone bows are 720 catties of tensile force.
Chen Mo took the strong bow, looked at the position of the willow tree, about two hundred steps, and he simply tried the bow.
"You are the bridegroom's officer, and you will be made of it."
"Ga"
Before Wu Changlin's words were finished, he saw that the bow in Chen Mo's hand was gently pulled, and it broke with a "quack".
"Sorry, it's too light, can you change the bow?" Chen Mo said.
Wu Changlin frowned, beckoned, and asked Lu Tong to bring another twenty-stone strong bow.
As a result, Chen Mo's luck was broken again.
"I'm sorry, it's still too light." Chen Mo showed a harmless smile from humans and animals.
Wu Changlin was ruthless and asked Lu Tong to directly bring a strong bow of thirty stones.
This time, Chen Mo didn't pull it off, but just said: "It's still lighter, is there a stronger one?" ”
"Come, go and bring my bow." At this time, Wu Yanqing spoke.
"No."
After a while, two servants came up with a longbow that was nearly half a foot long.
Wu Yanqing took it with one hand, stroked it gently, showed love in his eyes, and immediately said: "My bow is made of earth keel, and the bowstring is tiger tendon, with forty-two stones. ”
After speaking, he handed the bow to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took it with one hand, simply pulled, some did not pull, so he began to move his strength, and the people around him projected their eyes, only to see that when Chen Mo's arm was at its capacity, the strong muscles under the robe bulged up, and the arm circumference was much more than that of ordinary adult men.
"Quack."
The bow was fragile and broken, as if it was letting out a trembling wail.
Seeing this scene, the people around were secretly frightened.
The bow of the head of the family, few people in the clan can pull it, and if it is pulled like Chen Mo, I am afraid that only the head of the family is the only one.
When Wu Yanqing saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Good bow." Chen Mo said sincerely, then looked at Wu Changlin, and said with a smile: "What was the eldest brother going to say just now?" ”
Wu Changlin: "......"
He was going to say just now that Chen Mo was the groom's official, and Chen Mo shot first.
But now it seems that the other party cannot be taken lightly.
Wu Changlin pointed to both sides of the copper coin, and said: "This side is the pattern, this side is the word, do you guess the pattern or the word?" The guessed one shoots first. ”
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you are Mi'er's eldest brother, the elders come first, so you can shoot first." ”
Wu Changlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and somehow, he actually heard some contempt from Chen Mo's words.
This made Wu Changlin a little annoyed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Then don't blame me for not giving you a chance." ”
But he said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
"Please." Chen Mo said.
Wu Changlin used a twenty-stone bow, he bent his bow and set up arrows, and began to aim.
Whispers rang out from the surrounding clansmen.
"The young patriarch is the number one archer in our Jiangdong, and letting the young patriarch shoot first doesn't mean that the young patriarch has already won?"
"Bronze eyes pierce arrows, that's the young patriarch's specialty, the young patriarch is putting on this posture, obviously to embarrass the uncle, but I didn't expect the uncle to drill into it."
The movement that happened here was naturally told to Wu Mi's ears by his subordinates.
"Miss, the bronze eye pierces the arrow, that is the young patriarch's specialty, this is to embarrass my uncle." The personal maid said.
Wu Mi's eyebrows moved, and he hesitated: "Let's go and see. At a glance. ”
Wu Mi quietly came to a tall building with his personal maidservant, and from here, he could just see the place where the arrows were shot.
And at this moment, Wu Changlin let go.
The first arrow shot at the leftmost coin eye.
But at this moment, Chen Mo also bent his bow and arrows, and didn't aim at all, so he let go and shot out.
The people next to him were all shocked.
I saw that the speed of the arrow shot by Chen Mo was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with Wu Changlin's arrow, and from the tail of the arrow, Wu Changlin's arrow was shot in half from the middle, and the remaining strength was not lost, and easily passed through the copper coin eye, and shot the peach tied to the back out of a hole.
"Yes."
"Hiss"
I don't know who said a word, and then in an instant, a gasping sound sounded around Chen Mo.
Wu Changlin's face darkened, and he looked at Chen Mo, only to see the latter raise his hand and quickly shoot the last two arrows, and the last two arrows passed through the eyes of the other two copper coins almost at the same time, shooting through the peaches in the rear.
"Concession." Chen Mo didn't even look at the results, so he smiled at Wu Changlin.
