The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 45 [045] Feng Ziying was shocked
The next morning, Jia Qiang woke up to the chirping of a group of sparrows.

Qingwen was sitting by the fire, cutting window grilles with red paper.

She is ingenious and handy. Not only is she good at needlework, but she also cuts beautiful window grilles.

Today is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is almost the Chinese New Year. Qingwen wants to cut some festive window grilles and decorate the Luxue Temple.

After Jia Qiang finished washing, she walked out of Luxue Temple, but she saw Jia Baoyu leading a handsome son-in-law across the bamboo bridge towards Luxue Temple.

As the distance got closer, Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, and she recognized that this son was Feng Ziying who had met once.

When Jia Qiang went to the blacksmith's shop to pick up spears and halberds, she once chatted with him.

Today's weather is fine, no more snow, and almost no wind.

The bright morning light made the faces of Jia Baoyu and Feng Ziying even fairer.

When the two of them crossed the bamboo bridge, Jia Baoyu waved to Jia Qiang and said hello:
"Brother Qiang, I brought a close friend to visit you."

Jia Qiang smiled and bowed her hands, saying:
"It turned out that it was Brother Feng who came to visit, and it really made the humble house full of splendor!"

Feng Ziying clasped her fists in return and said:

"Brother Qiang, stay safe! Ever since I met you by chance that day, I have been thinking about you every day, and I have been waiting for you to send someone to notify me to come to your house to see your spear and eucalyptus."

Jia Qiang greeted with a smile:
"My spear and halberd were just made a few days ago, and I was thinking of sending someone to your mansion to invite you to my humble house, but I didn't expect that you came in person."

Feng Ziying smiled heartily and said:

"I have been fond of dancing spears and sticks since I was a child, and I can't wait to see the majesty of the magic weapon. Today, I'm here to deliver a New Year's gift to your house, and I just happened to stop by to bother Brother Qiang."

Jia Qiang smiled and said:

"I am very honored to have Brother Feng come to the humble house. Please come in and have a cup of tea. I will show you the spear and eucalyptus right away."

Feng Ziying waved her hands and said:
"I won't go in for now. The room is too cramped, but the courtyard is spacious. When you bring the gun and halberd, I'll be able to play a few tricks in the courtyard."

"Row!"

Jia Qiang went back to the house and took out the spear and halberd, walked up to Feng Ziying, and asked with a smile:
"Brother Feng, which weapon do you want to see first?"

Feng Ziying saw that Jia Qiang was holding a spear in her left hand and a halberd in her right hand, seeming relaxed, so she smiled and said:

"Give it to me, I'll take a look at the two weapons together."

"Okay, then be careful, this spear and halberd are a bit heavy."

Jia Qiang kindly reminded him, and then handed the spear and halberd to the other party.

Feng Ziying reached out to pick it up, and the moment Jia Qiang let go, Feng Ziying exclaimed, "Ouch!", but was pushed down by the weight of the spear and eucalyptus, and almost fell into the mud.

Fortunately, Jia Qiang stretched out her hand to support him, otherwise, even if he didn't get down, he would have to kneel immediately.

If so, Feng Ziying's two wrists were almost dislocated, and she couldn't lift such a heavy weapon at all. Both the spear and the halberd were thrown out of his hands, and fell to the ground with a "clang clang" and covered the ground with a layer of snow. Cracks were smashed into the bluestone floor.

Jia Baoyu hurried over to support Feng Ziying, and asked with concern: "Brother Feng Shi, are you alright?"

Feng Ziying was ashamed and embarrassed, her face flushed, she waved her hands repeatedly and said:

"It's all right, it's just that I didn't pay attention just now and accidentally dropped Brother Qiang's spear and halberd on the ground. Please also ask Brother Qiang Haihan."

Although she said it calmly, Feng Ziying's heart has already set off a turbulent sea:

Are the spear and halberd too heavy?
Why did Jia Qiang look so relaxed when he was carrying it?
It can only show that Jia Qiang's strength is very strong!
Suddenly, Feng Ziying remembered that when she met Jia Qiang at the blacksmith shop, Jia Qiang once said that the spear weighed 81 catties, and the halberd weighed 120 catties.

Just now I saw Jia Qiang holding the spear and halberd effortlessly, but I forgot what Jia Qiang had said about the weight of these two weapons.

No wonder I can't lift it.

These two weapons together weighed 210 jin!

Even if two strong men carry it together, it will be very difficult.

Jia Qiang clasped her fists and said:
"It was because I didn't think carefully and almost hurt Feng Shixiong. Please also ask Feng Shixiong to be Haihan."

In fact, Jia Qiang did not mean to embarrass Feng Ziying.

Because Jia Qiang knew that Feng Ziying was the son of the martial arts general Feng Tang, who was known as both civil and military. Jia Qiang originally thought that Feng Ziying could hold a spear and a halberd, but he didn't expect that he was not so strong.

Feng Ziying smiled and said:

"Brother Qiang is serious, I don't blame you for this matter, you have reminded me beforehand, it was my own negligence.

My own strength is not good, far inferior to Brother Qiang'er's strength, and in the end I still overestimated my strength. I made such a big joke that Brother Qiang and Brother Bao laughed. "

Jia Qiang said politely:
"They're all brothers from my own family. How can there be any jokes? It's outrageous to say that. I know that Brother Feng is both civil and military. He's a general, so there's no need to be so self-effacing."

Feng Ziying smiled and said:
"Brother Qiang's reputation is too high. I didn't expect Brother Qiang to be so strong. I'm afraid only peerless fighters like Lu Bu or Xiang Yu can match Brother Qiang."

Jia Baoyu, who was on the side, heard this, and looked at Jia Qiang with sharper eyes, shining with envy and admiration, and at the same time, there was also a sense of pride.

Because Jia Qiang is from the Jia family, but she showed her face in front of Feng Ziying, an outsider, and Jia Baoyu, as a descendant of the Jia family, also felt that she had a bright face.

Jia Qiang picked up the spear, handed it to Feng Ziying, and comforted her:
"This gun weighs 81 kilograms. Brother Feng Shi is a general, so he will definitely be able to handle it."

Feng Ziying knew that it was Jia Qiang who wanted to save face for him, her heart suddenly warmed up, and she took the spear with both hands.

Although it feels heavy, but he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he can still lift the spear.

However, it is very difficult to dance.

Feng Ziying only danced a gun flower, and her mouth felt numb, her arms were soft, and she almost exhausted her strength.

"What a good gun!" Feng Ziying laughed dryly and returned the spear to Jia Qiang.

He is weak and numb now, and he can no longer hold the spear. If he doesn't return it quickly, he will make a fool of himself again.

As for the big halberd, he didn't even want to touch it, because in his current state, he might not be able to lift the big halberd even with both hands.

In order to save face, Feng Ziying cupped her fists at Jia Qiang and said with a smile:
"Today is really an eye-opener. In fact, there is a precious bow in my mansion, which weighs 120 seven catties. If Brother Qiang is interested, I would like to invite you to my mansion to play with it."

Jia Qiang suddenly became interested, and said with a smile:
"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, so let's go and see now, how about?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Okay, I will lead the way ahead!"

Under Feng Ziying's guidance, Jia Qiang and Jia Baoyu rode horses and followed his carriage to the General Shenwu's mansion together.

Feng Ziying took Jia Qiang and Jia Baoyu into the back hall, and then ordered two strong servants to carry out a precious bow from the back room.

Feng Ziying introduced with a smile on her face:
"This is the Overlord's Bow. It is said that it is the precious bow left by Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. The body of the bow is made of black iron, and the bow strength is as high as twelve stones."

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, twelve stones weighed about 360 Jin, this Overlord's Bow is really extraordinary, it can be called a peerless bow!
"Brother Feng, can you let me shoot a few arrows with this Overlord Bow?" Jia Qiang clasped her fists and asked with a smile.

Before Feng Ziying could respond, he heard an old but loud male voice:
"Who is so shameless? How dare you boast that Haikou is going to draw the overlord's bow?"
