Chapter 101 Capture the Bow (two more)
Gu Yuan watched Gu Yanfei's every move with bright eyes, almost applauding her.
My sister's kicks are wonderful, her kicks are light, her kicks are as fast as the wind, and her legs are powerful. It can be described as fast, steady, accurate, and ruthless.
The hall was also very dark, Gu Yanfei instructed Juan Bi to light the lamp.
After a row of candles were lit in sequence, the hall suddenly lit up, and the candlelight illuminated the surrounding displays and furnishings.
The hall extends in all directions, and in front of it hangs a large plaque inlaid with red gold and nine dragons on the red ground. On the plaque, there are three big gold lacquer characters written with dragons and phoenixes: "Righteous Hall".
The three characters were inscribed by Emperor Taizu himself and given to the Dingyuan Houfu.
Below the plaque, there is a long case with a red sandalwood carved tiger pattern, and the familiar rhino horn bow was hung on the wall in front of the plaque and the long case, and it was "enshrined" here.
Gu Jian could not use a heavy bow like the Wushibow, so this rhinoceros horn bow, which has been passed down for four generations of Dingyuan Hou, has been enshrined here for the past eight years.
In the candlelight, the simple rhino horn bow shone faintly, and the broken bowstring hadn't been replaced yet, hanging down in mid-air.
"Eldest young master, second girl..." There was a stammering voice from the night watchman outside the gate at the rear.
He was awakened by the sound of Gu Yanfei kicking the door, so he hurried over. At this moment, his face was a little shocked, a little frightened, and a little puzzled. He didn't know what the two masters were trying to do with this stance as if they were raiding the house. .
Gu Yuan of course understood what Gu Yanfei meant, raised his hand and took off the rhinoceros horn bow hanging on the wall, his thin lips pursed into a small smile.
Seeing this, the little servant didn't understand why the two masters came for the rhino horn bow.
How the little servant didn't know the importance of this rhino horn bow, Hou Ye would come here to clean the bow in person every three days. If this bow is taken away, then he will not be able to explain it to Hou Ye!
"Brother, this bow belongs to you." Gu Yanfei smiled, stared at him without blinking, and added silently in his heart: Father's title should also belong to him.
The little servant hesitated for a while at the door, seeing Gu Yuan taking down the bow, he boldly stepped over the threshold, tried to stop them, and said, "Young master, you can't take this bow..."
"Whoosh!"
's voice was interrupted by a feather arrow, and Gu Yanfei took a crossbow hanging next to him, and skillfully placed the arrow and pulled the bow... This series of movements was completed in one go.
In the blink of an eye, the feathered arrow pierced the boy's sleeve, and nailed him ruthlessly and accurately to another door that was still hanging on the door frame.
"Squeak." The door was hit hard by the arrow, making a rough sound.
Gu Yanfei didn't speak, just looked at the little servant with a smile on his face.
The little servant only felt that he had walked between life and death just now. If the second girl's arrow was a few inches off, wouldn't it have hit him in the waist and abdomen? !
He was so frightened that his feet were trembling, and his three souls and seven souls flew halfway. How dare he stop the brothers and sisters.
Gu Yanfei took two steps towards the little servant with his hands behind his back, and the little servant was shocked, as if he had seen some kind of demon king, he subconsciously retreated, but there was a door behind him, and there was no way to retreat.
Gu Yanfei smiled, not as demure as a boudoir girl should be, and smiled so freely: "Later, you can go to Mingyi Court to file a complaint, remember to bring a message to Mrs. Tai and Lord Hou for me."
"As for this bow, it broke the string and injured the Hou Ye. It's really unknown. I'll use it to do it, so as not to hurt the Hou House."
She said something serious, but her expression was joking. The little servant dared to question her, her face turned pale and she nodded repeatedly, unable to say a word.
The little servant felt that the second girl was really scary, but in Gu Yuan's eyes, how cute the little sister looked.
Anyway——
Sister is right.
Sister did everything right!
sighed happily in his heart, the smile in Gu Yuan's eyes deepened, and the depression he had just caused because of the new order was also swept away.
The usually cold and silent boy finally had the clarity he should have at his age.
"Brother, let's go." Gu Yanfei pulled Gu Yuan away and took the rhino horn bow.
The night snow outside was a bit heavier, and the snowflakes were like goose feathers, and in the blink of an eye, the brothers and sisters were dyed with frost on the top of their hair and shoulders.
On the way, Gu Yuan played with the rhinoceros horn bow in love, his eyes never took off, his fingers caressed the broken string a few times, and he remembered the scene when he was quietly pulling the string in his father's study when he was a child...
Gu Yanfei "Big Brother, Jiao Niang... I mean, Miss Wei Jiu took me to a shop during the day, where I bought my ox horn bow. I saw that the shop's master is very good at repairing this bowstring. "Gu Yanfei suggested with a smile.
As for his sister's proposal, Gu Yuan didn't have any bad ideas, and immediately said: "Okay, we'll be together tomorrow..."
His last "go" was unable to exit, and he suddenly remembered that he had a ten-day leave before going to the Shenji Camp to take office, but the new transfer has just arrived, and he will go to the Ministry of War tomorrow. Eight or nine are gone.
Gu Yanfei also thought of this, patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder soothingly, and said, "Leave me the matter of repairing the bowstring."
While talking, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and snowflakes were fluttering all over the sky. When Gu Yuan sent Gu Yanfei to Yuheng Garden, the surrounding roofs, walls, and treetops were already covered with thin layers. snow.
Gu Yuan sat for a while in Yuheng Garden before leaving.
It snowed heavily all night, and it didn't stop until the early morning of the next day. When Gu Yanfei got up early in the morning, the outside of the house was already a world wrapped in silver.
Gu Yanfei, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, let Juan Bi dress her up while listening to her remarks.
Juanbi's family is a family with children and has in-laws in the Hou Mansion. She is sweet and active. She went to the kitchen early this morning to pick up breakfast, and she inquired about a lot of things.
"Miss, I heard that last night, when Lord Hou learned that you and the eldest young master went to the Zhengqi Hall to take away the rhino horn bow, he was so angry that he almost fell off the bed and ordered someone to ask the eldest young master for the rhino horn bow, but he was comforted by Mrs. already."
"The Marquis has been scolding the eldest young master for coveting the title, and the eldest young master is clearly dissatisfied with the decision of the late emperor and disrespectful to the late emperor... He also said that when the injury is healed, he will enter the palace to face the saint in person."
“…”
Juanbi spoke eloquently, including that many doctors came to Mingyi Hospital last night to see Gu Jian's injuries; including that Gu Jian planned to stay in Mingyi Hospital recently in order to recover from his injuries.
When it was said that Gu Jian wanted to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit, Juan Bi was somewhat worried, but seeing Gu Yanfei was calm, she was relieved.
"Meow!"
Sanhua cat howled happily outside the window, as if saying, come out and play.
The winter sunshine illuminates the white and flawless snow, and the long-haired cat that is smooth and watery seems to be glowing. The cat leaps, spins, runs, climbs, and jumps in the courtyard...
It was the first time he played in the snow, stepping on the soft and fluffy snow, and seeing his paws leave a plum blossom-shaped cat paw print in the snow, he was so happy that his tail was lifted to the sky.
Kuanbi couldn't help but glanced at the cat outside the window, and looked at it for a while before she came back to her senses.
She cleared her throat and continued, "Miss, when this servant just came back from breakfast, she met Miss Bailu."
"Miss Bailu was ordered to send a message to her. Mrs. Tai said that the rhinoceros horn bow can be enjoyed by the girl for a few days, but after a few days, the girl must return it."
Gu Yanfei smiled, looked at the rhino horn bow on the desk, and raised his eyebrows.
Oh, doesn't Mrs. Tai feel that she has given their siblings a step down?
"Girl, you've combed it." After half a cup of tea, Kuan Bi skillfully combed Gu Yanfei's hair.
She knew that Gu Yanfei didn't like heavy hair accessories, so she only used two bright red ribbons as embellishments.
"Meow!" Qingguang jumped, jumped from the courtyard outside the window to the window sill, and kept calling "meow meow", urging them to play with it too.
The long hair on the milk cat was covered with snowflakes, as if rolling in icing sugar.
This cat is crazy! Gu Yanfei stretched out her finger and flicked it on the cat's forehead, and muttered with some disgust, "You, now you can only play!"
Gu Yanfei touched his chin with his fingers, thinking in his heart: If this goes on like this, this cat will be useless. Well, next time she can try to draw a telephony and make the cat do something.
However, this sound transmission symbol, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the current ordinary cinnabar.
In his thoughts, Gu Yanfei's **** slowly moved down along the cat's neck, and finally pinched on the pink cat meat pad with malicious intent.
Hey, this place is not like Yaoling World.
Why don't you ask Chu Yi next time?
"..." Qingguang is a beast after all, with a wild intuition unique to beasts.
It immediately felt the sinister intentions from someone, the hair on its back stood up in an instant, and the fluffy cat's tail was also fried.
Gu Yanfei squeezed the soft cat meat pad again, and said casually, "Let's set the meal."
Kuanbi responded, and immediately set up a sumptuous breakfast with his hands and feet neatly.
Gu Yanfei's breakfast had not been finished when Gu Yuan came in stride, wearing an embroidered leopard crimson robe that symbolized a fourth-grade military attache, which made him tall and straight, with a radiant face, and a bright and heroic look all over his body.
This morning, he went out the door just after dawn, went to the military department, and just returned to the Hou residence.
"Brother, you're back, let's eat together."
Gu Yanfei greeted his eldest brother with a smile to sit down.
Brother and sister eat completely different things.
Gu Yanfei eats gracefully and slowly, as if he is savoring the taste of each food and chewing it carefully;
On the other hand, Gu Yuan ate very fast and devoured it, but he didn't look vulgar at all. It was obviously a habit developed in the army.
After eating seven or eight in one breath, he drank half a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, so that he was free to talk about business:
"Sister, I got a new job at the Ministry of War today."
Gu Yuan swept away the loss of yesterday, and when he said this, a pair of phoenix eyes that flew diagonally into his temples shone with a scorching heat, like the rising sun slowly rising outside the window.
