Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

  Chapter 164, one hundred and seventeen

   Jiang Erye returned to the mansion, and the brothers immediately surrounded him, "Second brother, open the box, let the brothers open their eyes and take a look at the treasured bow given by the royal family!"

   "Which one of your royal gifts is missing? It's so rare for you." Jiang Erye snorted.

   "Second brother, I don't have anything from the royal family, I haven't seen it!" Cao Yubao, the fourth son of Cao Yanhua, the minister of labor, urged Erye Jiang with a smile.

   Jiang Erye opened the box with a smile, "Isn't this the first time I've met your second brother, we will have some in the future."

   After opening the box, a bow with brown-yellow ends and a colorful middle appeared in front of everyone. Everyone let out a "wow" and turned to look at Chai Yi'an.

   They don't know anything about bows and arrows. They have to listen to Chai Yi'an, who knows how to do it, to talk about the doorway, so that they can boast.

   "Everyone, let's go!"

Chai Yi'an coughed and stepped forward to look at the bow in the box, and commented, "South Tan and Bei Zhe, Zhe wood is dark yellow in color, fine and clear in texture, and soft to the touch. It is the top-grade wood for making bows and arrows, and among them, Taishan Zhe wood is the best. Emperor Xuanyuan chose the bow named Xuanyuan for the name of Nanwu, the horn of Yanniu, the Mi of Jing Mi, and the glue of river fish.

   Baizhen saw that Chai Yi'an was citing scriptures endlessly, and interrupted him, "Don't talk about it, just say the second brother is this bow."

   "Yeah, fourth brother, say second brother this bow." Everyone agreed.

Chai Yi'an glared at these ignorant guys, and then said, "Zhemu bow has good toughness and feels good. Long live this one given to the second brother. It is a composite horn wood bow made of deer tendons and horns. This bow needs to be experienced. It takes more than 200 processes and at least two years of grinding to make it. It is not easy to make, but the horn-wood composite bow is durable. The eldest son of Duke Huguo, You Xiaowei, commander of the general Kang Guangju, uses this kind of bow."

I see! The crowd roared, but they didn't even start complimenting. Jiang Erye picked up the bow with great interest and said, "I'll shoot a few arrows and try to open your eyes!"

   As soon as they heard that Jiang Erye was going to shoot arrows, everyone immediately felt their scalps numb and their necks became cold.

"That's right, second brother, we haven't had our tea yet, and Miss Yuexian is still waiting for us to go back and taste the piano. If the second brother doesn't go, won't the third brother Bai's good intentions be blinded in vain?" Lu Xiuyu persuaded .

  Cao Yubao persuaded Erye Jiang to put down his bow and arrow, "Everyone in the West City is waiting for the second brother to go back. If the second brother doesn't go, won't he fail everyone's wishes?"

   I have seen with my own eyes that the bow is a good bow, and I also heard Chai Yi'an say it. After they go out, they can brag to the crowd, which is enough. Everyone persuaded Jiang Erye to put down the imperial bow and return to the West Market to continue drinking and listening to music.

In the evening, Jiang Song rushed back to the mansion at a speed several times faster than in the past. After he went to the Buddhist hall in his mother's courtyard to burn incense and kneel to worship the imperial decree, he saw the four treasures of the study and the bow that Long Live had given to his second brother, and asked his mother, "Two treasures. What about brother?"

   Mrs. Jiang cheerfully said, "Someone came to invite him, so he followed. It was really hard for him a few days ago, don't be too strict, let him relax."

   When is this time, there is no time to let him relax! Jiang Song said solemnly, "Mother knows, why did Long Live give the second brother the four treasures of the study and the treasure bow?"

   Mrs. Jiang nodded, "Because he killed the people in Hui'an."

"If it is customary to give more gold and silver jewelry to those who kill the people for the people, but long live the second brother is the bow and arrow. Long live, this is to hope that the second brother will work hard in literature and martial arts. Jiang Song was extremely urgent, "Now there are only 117 days left until the Spring Festival. If the second brother doesn't practice hard day and night, how can he be named on the gold list?"

Madam Jiang was stunned for a while before persuading her, "Boss, don't be too embarrassing for Feng'er. You saw how much he had to suffer before he was chosen. You asked him to be named on the Golden List, didn't he kill him? It's not really that stuff."

   Jiang Song said sternly, "Mother always said that Yanfang spoiled Saburo, but you spoiled the second brother better than Yanfang."

   When her son said that, Mrs. Jiang was unhappy, "Your second brother has been weak since he was a child, how can you compare with Saburo."

   "Mother, how is the second brother's body and bones now?" Jiang Song asked softly.

  The eldest son has been in bad shape after taking the poison, and now he has no flesh on his cheeks and looks a few years older, so Mrs. Jiang didn't feel distressed, "You must remember to take the medicine Feng'er brought back, so that your body is not exhausted."

Jiang Song responded, and then persuaded the old lady, "Mother, Saburo ran around the pond. When he first started, he used to crawl for the last two laps. Why don't you feel distressed? But you see how he is now after running for ten months? Saburo? She cried and cried while following Linger Lajin, but Yanfang hid in the corner and secretly wiped away her tears, but she couldn't hold back and went up to dissuade her. Why is this?"

   Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips and said nothing.

  Jiang Song continued, "Apart from Ling'er in our family, the second brother is the fastest runner. He has survived for eight months. As long as he grit his teeth and survive for more than 100 days, he will really survive."

   Mrs. Jiang whispered, "No matter how hard he suffers, he won't be able to win the champion..."

"Er didn't ask the second brother to be the champion, or even the middle rank scholar. But he must show some real skills in the spring field, and people will give thumbs up when they mention the second brother, and no one can say the second brother's martial arts. It's a mix up, that's enough." Jiang Song can still see clearly how much he cares about his younger brother.

   Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth, "It's up to you! But if he really can't take it anymore, you can't force him."

   Jiang Song responded with a smile and asked the third brother to find the second brother and return to the house.

After Jiang Erye was brought back from the Dongshi Casino by his third brother, he pouted so much that he could tie victory, "Brother, what is the urgent matter, can't we talk about it tomorrow? I was going to make a hundred taels of silver to buy medicine tonight, and Cheng Kong opened the prescription. Those medicinal herbs are expensive."

   Hearing the second brother's words, Jiang Song's face couldn't hold back, "Brother Yu's body is no longer in serious trouble, now the most important thing is next year's spring. Since you have received the reward of Long Live, it is serious to study hard and practice hard."

   Jiang Erye said "Oh" and said casually, "Don't worry, big brother, little brother understands the painstaking efforts of Long Live, but isn't it too early, don't be in a hurry." Besides, no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't become a Wu Jinshi, so why should he suffer this crime?

Jiang Song glared angrily, "There are only one hundred and seventeen days left, where is it still early?! Do you know what Zhongjuzi is doing? If you don't say anything, just say Guo Jingping, people practice martial arts in the daytime and study at night, even with meals. It's all his son!"

   People have good sons, but I don’t have them. Second Master Jiang muttered, "Today is November 20th, and there are still four months until the full spring season on March 20th. How come there are only three days less to get to the eldest brother?"

Hearing that the second brother still dared to be stubborn, Jiang Huai just covered his ears when he heard the elder brother growl, "This year's twelfth lunar month and next year's February are both small, and you will be entering the venue on March 20, how much do you have? day?!"

  The length of each month in the lunar calendar is different. The 30th day is called Dajin, and the 29th day is called Xiaojin.

   Jiang Er Ye was really frightened by the elder brother, and quickly advised, "Big brother don't get angry, anger hurts your body, younger brother practice, can't you practice?"

   Jiang Song gasped for a while before saying, "Many people in the court say that your juren is a hoax. You must work hard, and then let them open their eyes and see your true abilities!"

   "Okay!" Jiang Erye also heard these gossips, and he will definitely shut up these people.

"People come and go every day in the mansion, and you can't read with peace of mind. Brother Yu has ordered someone to pack your luggage for you, and you will leave for Liujiazhuang early tomorrow morning to stay for a while, and come back at the end of the twelfth. The village is spacious and can run horses, and you can practice riding. It's easy to shoot..."

   Jiang Er Ye jumped up immediately, "If it's freezing cold today, how could eldest brother throw me on Zhuangzi! Mother won't let you do this!"

   knew you would say that. Jiang Song calmly raised the teacup and sipped the good tea his second brother brought back from Quanzhou, "Mother has agreed."

   Congratulations to the book friend 1795 for becoming the first church owner of this book, and it is sent to you by Jiageng.
