22, archery
At present, on the easternmost table, a young man stood up and said, "I'm Changtang, the son of General Changyuan. Today, I'm just here to make fun. It's an accident to listen to the song of the dream girl, and I don't dare to talk to the girl alone, but I still want to fight for this peach blossom porridge. I'm afraid all the martial arts practitioners present have noticed that this porridge is no less than a panacea for us. If we are lucky enough to get another bowl, I'm afraid the benefits will be more obvious.
As soon as his words fell, the martial arts practitioners present, including Zhong Zicheng, nodded one after another. The literati have not practiced internal strength, and even if there is something good, they can't detect it immediately. However, martial arts practitioners can feel a little bit of true qi. The higher the martial arts, the clearer it is, so they first found the wonder of this porridge.
Liu Shaoyun didn't have any special feeling except that the porridge was particularly delicious. He couldn't help frowning and asked Zhong Zicheng in a low voice, "Is what he said true? Is this porridge so good?
Zhong Zicheng nodded hurriedly and said, "It's really amazing. My true energy has been improved by at least a tenth. It can only be achieved by me who has practiced hard for more than a year, and it will be done by this bowl of porridge."
Liu Shaoyun pondered and said, "It seems that the owner behind this red-sleeved Tianxiangxuan is not small. If you can make this rare elixir into porridge, I'm afraid there won't even be such a secret recipe in the palace. And this dream girl is by no means a general person. This woman must have something to do with the mysterious owner, but we don't know what kind of relationship they have.
"What do you care? I don't like this woman, but I have to fight for a bowl of porridge. If I miss this village, there will be no shop." Only the magical bowl of peach blossom porridge was left in Zhong Zicheng's mind, and the rest was insignificant.
It seems that his cousin, although Liu Shaoyun had to admit that peach blossom porridge was also very attractive to him, this mysterious dream girl stimulated his curiosity. This dream girl's air is really not very big, but from her piano sound, you can feel this woman's amazing talent, otherwise she will never play a song "Fengru Song" that almost every pianist can play. The so-called plainness sees the true chapter. The more ordinary it is, the more it shows its extraordinary ability. It is like a chef who can cook vegetables and radishes out of the taste of mountains and seas. The pianist who can play the simplest song out extraordinary artistic conception is the top pianist. No matter what other aspects of talent, this dream girl's piano skills alone are definitely worth fighting for him to meet her alone.
Aunt Hong on the small stage was also a little surprised when she heard Chang Tang's words. Although she knew that this porridge was indeed extraordinary, she didn't expect that it would be of great benefit to those who practice martial arts. Her proposal just now is just because there are indeed more than a dozen princes from the generals at the scene. If they are literary, they will definitely be unhappy and think that it is difficult for them. That's why she made up her own decision to make two bowls of porridge to appease the hearts of these generals. This move was originally unintentional, but it warmed the hearts of all the generals present. In order to get another bowl of porridge, he rubbed his hands.
The Mr. Changtang finally demonstrated a set of swordsmanship. Most of the people present were literati who couldn't understand the mystery. Several people who practiced martial arts recognized that this seemingly fancy swordsmanship was a two-talent swordsmanship. Just as Miss Meng plays an extraordinary artistic conception with the simplest piano music, he also wants to use the most ordinary swordsmanship to demonstrate his true kung fu.
Zhong Zicheng shook his head, knowing that this Changtang was basically out of play. Looking at the Taoist sword style from the sword, this Mr. Chang is not a very diligent person who practices martial arts. It is estimated that he will never spend a lot of money in the place of Fengyue. He is exhausted before his strength is in place. On the surface, he seems to be a cluster of flowers. In fact, he can be said to be an embroidered pillow and deceives laymen.
Several teenagers from the general's family came forward, dancing knives or playing with swords, and practiced very seriously. Although there are indeed a lot of people coming today, they are still a minority, most of whom are young people in their 20s. Zhong Zicheng also rubbed his fists on the side and wanted to compete, but he was not good at swordsmanship or boxing. He was best at riding and shooting. In this environment, it seemed that there was not enough space for him to use. He was so anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, but there was nothing he could do.
Riding and shooting belongs to authentic battlefield kung fu, which can play an extremely important role in the battlefield. Usually, it is also in the barracks. There is a large area of open space that can drive horses, bend bows and arrows on the horse and shoot at the bull'seye in the running. Riding and shooting is the most difficult kind of archery, because it is bumpy on the horse, the aiming time is extremely short, and it is even more difficult to shoot arrows in movement. But Zhong Zicheng's riding and shooting was really solid. When he practiced riding and shooting, the target was not fixed somewhere, but tied to the horse and ran all over the field. Even so, he rarely missed the target. Even if he couldn't hit the red heart, he was very close. Therefore, when hunting in Shanglin Beiyuan, no one's achievements could beat him. At that time, the prince had tried his best to cheat, but he still couldn't surpass the results of hunting alone.
Two more princes went up to martial arts after a set of swordsmanship, no one came forward to show his ugly. Zhong Zicheng still walked forward and hugged Aunt Hong and said, "I am Zhong Zicheng, General Hu Xiaowei Zuo. He was originally a rough man who grew up in the army. He has never learned beautiful swordsmanship, and he has the ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield. I'm not ready to come here today. If it's convenient for Aunt Hong, please help prepare a strong bow, several feather arrows and a target.
Aunt Hong nodded and said, "This is not difficult. General Zhong, sit down for a moment." He turned his head and whispered to a maid beside him to prepare.
As soon as the maid left, a veiled woman came from the other side. Zhong Zicheng recognized it as a pendant at a glance.
Xiang'er walked to Aunt Hong, whispered a few words to her, and then left the same way.
Aunt Hong whispered a few words with Aunt Hua next to her, walked on the school stage again and shouted, "Just now, the dream girl asked the maid to send a message. She came up with a question. If you want to meet the dream girl alone, you must meet her question."
This hand made those guys who did their homework in advance suddenly suffer.
Aunt Hong couldn't help but despise these people again in her heart and said, "Remember, Miss Meng has an upper couplet. Whoever has the most neat lower couplet can talk to her. This upper couplet is the Shinong Industrial and Commercial Jiao Zhiyu. Please check the next couplet.
The guests sitting below were all in an uproar. This couplet seemed to have only seven words, but Shi Nong Industry and Commerce and Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu together, and Shengsheng combined the nine words into seven words through homophonic sounds, which can be said to be very tricky. What's more, today's guests are indeed the best in Shinong Industry and Commerce, and the dream girl just played a song, which is exactly the meaning of five tones. With the combination of the two, even Liu Shaoyun couldn't help frowning at the people present.
While thinking hard, the maid who went to get the bow and arrow stepped in from outside the garden. Because the temperature outside the garden is quite different from that in the garden, several rows of hangers are specially placed at the door. People who walk out of the garden must first take off their coats from the hangers and wrap them tightly before they can go out. Otherwise, this cold and hot must be sick. The maid obviously ran in a hurry. She hurried over without taking off her coat, handed over the bow and arrow and target to Aunt Hong, and then returned to the door to hang her coat back to the original place.
When Liu Shaoyun saw this scene, the corners of his mouth moved, and his eyebrows also unfolded.
Aunt Hong handed the bow and arrow to Zhong Zicheng and said, "General Zhong, let's try this bow. Is it suitable?"
Zhong Zicheng pulled a few times and said, "It's a little lighter. I can barely shoot a hundred steps." Then he picked up the target, reached out and called the servant standing on the side, and hung the target under a big tree. After hanging it, he pushed it at any time, making the target swing under the tree.
Zhong Zicheng walked a hundred steps with his back to the target, almost walked to the place where the tables and chairs were placed, looked up and smiled at the people, pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow string.
With a little force, the big bow, which was too light for him, was pulled to the full circle. At this moment, he still turned his back to the target, but turned the arrow at the guests at the banquet, which made some people shout loudly.
