23, couplet
Zhong Zicheng's eyes became very deep and sharp after winding the bow and arrow, and the angry scolding around him turned a deaf ear. He quickly twisted his waist and shot an arrow out as soon as the arrow turned to the direction of the target.
Except for Liu Shaoyun, almost no one thought that he would hit the target, not to mention that the target was still shaking. But Liu Shaoyun is very clear about the extent to which Zhong Zicheng's archery has really reached. The clock, who is best at shooting moving targets, has grasped the timing of archery to an incredible extent. It is completely out of instinctive shooting, but it can achieve amazing accuracy.
The "snatch" arrow from the string is nailed to the target with a speed that can't be seen by the naked eye. The huge impact force pushes the target that was originally swinging left and right to float back high and spins quickly. Although it is not clear whether the arrow has hit the red heart for the time being, it is definitely the target.
Zhong Zicheng frowned slightly and was not very satisfied with his arrow. He quickly put on another arrow, reincarnated and jumped on the rockery beside him, and shot an arrow again when he jumped up.
Everyone saw a dark light flashing by, and the target, which had turned quickly, turned madly and couldn't help taking a cold breath. This amazing archery has exceeded their cognitive range. For them, it is already very good to stand still and shoot those fixed targets. However, Zhong Zicheng is a moving target. The gap between them is not a little bit. If he is allowed to shoot a fixed target, it is estimated that he will disdain to do it because the difficulty is too low.
Zhong Zicheng handed the bow to the servant on the side and slowly walked to the tree. He grabbed the target that was still dripping. He saw two feather arrows deeply stuck on the target, one close to the edge of the red heart, and the other hit the red heart.
Such an arrow deterred the whole audience. After a silence, there was applause and applause, and even Aunt Hong and Aunt Hua couldn't help cheering loudly. I have seen too many performances such as swordsmanship, swordsmanship and boxing. It can really be seen as a monkey, but this kind of archery is real and can't be empty at all. The men present generally regard swordsmanship as a strong body. Don't expect to be so accomplished at all. Not to mention killing the enemy, even if they fight with others, whether they can work or not.
After only a few generals, their kung fu is much more practical. Unfortunately, the practical things may not be good-looking, so the powerful performances just now did not get much sensation.
Seeing that his archery got a full prize, Zhong Zicheng couldn't help but be a little proud. There is no doubt about his talent in archery, but the most important thing is that with the acquired efforts, the strong bow pulled by him can probably be equipped with a guard from childhood to age. It is also because of his efforts that his unique talent has not been buried and shines brilliantly.
Aunt Hong went to the tree, looked at the feather arrow nailed to the target, and said, "General Zhong is really powerful. This bowl of peach blossom porridge can't run away. Such archery can be unparalleled in the world."
"That's it." Zhong Zicheng was not modest at all and said, "Compared with archery, I really haven't lost."
"I don't know what talent General Zhong has besides archery. The upper couplet just now can be the lower couplet?" Aunt Hua stepped forward from behind and was surprised at the position of the two arrows on the target.
"That's not my strength, but I can't figure it out. Someone can definitely match it." Zhong Zicheng walked back to his table and said to Liu Shaoyun, "Cousin, don't say that you are not right."
Liu Shaoyun pretended to sigh and said, "If you say this, I have to come out right, otherwise today's limelight will be all for you. Then I'm too faceless. How can I date my literary friends in the future?
In terms of arrogance, Liu Shaoyun is not inferior to Cheng Yuanjia at all.
There are ready-made four treasures of the study on the table. Liu Shaoyun pulled out a piece of white paper, grinded the ink, and wrote a sentence on the white paper. After slightly drying the ink, he folded it into a Fang Sheng. He called Aunt Hong and said, "This is my next couplet. Please transfer it to Miss Meng to see if it is neat."
Aunt Hong also knows Liu Shaoyun. This big talent Liu usually loves to call friends, and the red sleeve building is the place he often visits. Liu Shaoyun can ignore fame and fortune. The most important thing is that he has sufficient confidence. The Liu family is a famous rich family. Although it is not as terrible as the Cheng family, in the northwest, the Liu family occupies several minerals. The iron and coal produced are good things that the country must buy from them. As the legitimate son of the Liu family, Liu Shaoyun has a lot of money for him to squander. If he hadn't been clean and love himself, I'm afraid the red maids in Liu Lane, Hua Street, would have become his private.
After taking the note handed over by Liu Shaoyun, Aunt Hong did not open it, but asked the people present, "Who else is right? Please give it to me."
Most of those people are shaking their heads and sighing. Only a few people look indifferent. It seems that these people's self-knowledge is still good. They know that they have no chance, and they don't want to be ashamed.
Aunt Hong looked at Liu Shaoyun and nodded and said, "In this case, please wait a moment. I'll send Mr. Liu's couplet in first. If Miss Meng has any questions, I will bring it back."
"There is also a topic." The person who was still thinking hard was about to squeeze out the bile on his face.
Aunt Hong walked to the backyard and quickly came out again and said, "Miss Meng asked Mr. Liu to move to her warm pavilion and discuss your couplet with him."
Liu Shaoyun stood up, slightly tidied up his clothes, and said loudly, "I'm sorry to bother Aunt Hong to lead the way."
Aunt Hong nodded to him and turned to the backyard. Liu Shaoyun followed behind in everyone's enviable and jealous eyes, and even nodded and greeted a few familiar people, looking proud.
Fortunately, Liu Shaoyun's talent is also very famous in the capital. Although everyone is jealous, they are not unconvinced. There are even many people who are like Zhong Zicheng and think that only he can be right for this couplet. If even he stops eating, they will be even more humiliated.
The back yard of Hongxiu Tianxiangxuan is as warm as spring as the front yard. There are also many begonia flowers planted on both sides of the path. At this moment, the spitting is blooming. When Liu Shaoyun saw these begonia trees, his face changed slightly and he couldn't help but stop.
Aunt Hong walked in front of her. When she turned to the corridor, she found that Liu Shaoyun, who had been following behind, was still stranded in the courtyard. She was in a daze at several begonia trees and couldn't help coming back and said, "Mr. Liu, what's wrong?"
Liu Shaoyun looked a little ugly and said, "Aunt Hong, this is not the first time I've been to this place. In the past, as the backyard of your Hongxiu Building, I have been here at least ten times. Although it is now in harmony with the backyard of Tianxiang Pavilion, the overall structure has not changed much, and the pond corridor still remains the same. If my memory does not deviate, there would have been no begonia trees here, not to mention that the weather in the capital is dry and cold. It is not the kind of begonia that likes warm and wet. I have seen this tree in a friend's house in the south, because this tree is too difficult to plant. A hundred trees are transported from the south, and it is not possible to plant a living here. Moreover, even if this tree is in the south, it is of great value. In the capital, even the palace may not plant such a valuable tree. And as far as I know, this begonia tree has another characteristic that it will not bloom at all within two years of transplantation. But in front of my eyes, this kind of begonia tree that should not appear here at all, not only opened very well, but also bloomed. How do you explain this?
Aunt Hong sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, I also know that you are well-informed. I know some of what you said, and I don't know some of them. As for why there is a begonia tree here, this old man really can't answer. If you look carefully, you will find that there are not only these begonia trees, but also many flowers and plants that suddenly appear in the whole backyard. Whether it is the strange flowers and plants in the north and the world, you can find some here. Anyway, how to grow them, how to grow them, what is precious. Our owner has no concept of spending money at all. He also sent people to grow these flowers and plants, and we can't insert them from beginning to end. If you really have questions, you can ask the dream girl, or the falling girl around her, but we can't answer you at all.
Liu Shaoyun looked around and found a lot. He couldn't help but be more curious about this and said, "Aunt Hong, what kind of person is your new owner? He doesn't show up in such a big show today."
