Crown Jewels

Chapter 171

Shen Lanqing said this implicitly, the examiner said that Qi Yuan performed well, so it is unknown whether he might be able to rank in the top three in the entire rural examination.

After all, it is unusual for so many examination papers to be remembered by the chief examiner, and to be able to give good compliments.

Gu Baozhu nodded, and was also very happy for Qi Yuan. Although he had only acted as their head for a few months, everyone had a very good impression of this young man who got along like blissful bliss, so naturally they were all happy for him.

Song Leyi was chewing the pastry in her hands indifferently, her pink lips were slightly pursed, she was very immature, but her eyebrows and eyes were also curved beautifully, showing a full of good mood, silently listening to the admiration of several people towards Qi Yuan .

Just when Fu Sinian toasted to discuss this topic, Song Leyi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, she raised her head but smiled calmly, and asked Shen Lanqing pretending to be curious.

"Sister Lanqing, then the chief Qi Zhai you mentioned is still returning to the ancient academy?"

While Song Leyi was eagerly waiting for the answer, Song Yan suddenly slapped her forehead.

"What do you do with so many questions, eat well!"

Song Yan's attitude made Song Leyi purse her lips, her eyes showed a bit of sadness, and suddenly she looked at his brother and felt that it was an eyesore, and she knew good things about bad guys all day long.

On the other hand, Shen Lanqing smiled indifferently, and shook her head slightly at Song Yan to indicate that there was no problem.

"It's not really a secret. After Qi Zhai Changxiang tried it, he said goodbye to the head of the mountain and went out to study. I'm afraid it will take some time to come back. I'm afraid that when he comes back, he will directly prepare for the next spring."

"Is the schedule so tight?"

"Going out to study?"

Two voices came one after the other, Song Yan's tone seemed very calm, only eyebrows raised slightly.After the general rural examination is over, the ordinary examination has to wait another three to five years to prepare for the next round of spring to ensure the accumulation of knowledge. Is Qi Yuan ready for a trip like this?

The voices of the two brothers and sisters sounded at the same time, and they looked at each other. Song Leyi quickly looked away, picked up the chopsticks again, and honestly gnawed on a piece of lettuce. The appearance of her bulging cheeks was very cute.

"Whether the itinerary is tight or not is entirely up to the person concerned. If there are gaps in his chest and he is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, he may feel that this arrangement is just right."

As Fu Sinian said, he looked at Song Yan with hints.

While talking about Qi Yuan, they are also talking about the martial arts that the two of them will face in the future...

The autumn wind is refreshing, and it will soon be October.

On the campus of Huangu Academy, male and female scholars who are watching a good show are surrounded by a circle at this moment. At this moment, they are all looking at Princess Nanping with the expression of watching a good show.

Holding the booklet, Du Ziteng watched Gu Baozhu's eyes light up in the fine attire, and couldn't help but sighed to himself: "Just looking at the overall momentum, it should be much better than before. , and Guanghua County Lord who will win and who will lose is really hard to say!"

However, when he said these words, he was ridiculed by the people around him.

"You know what, it's nothing more than flamboyant fists and embroidered legs. If you put on a pose, who can't do it? The Lord of Guanghua County hits the target with her arrows, and she can be seen practicing arrows at the racecourse every afternoon, and the Lord of Nanping County? , how many times have you seen her practice?"

"That's right! Even if it's the princess, you still have to work hard for what you promised, otherwise you will really think that we are fools!"

What the two of them said made some sense, the onlookers were already shaken, and they all looked at the woman in front of them with complex expressions, looking rather pessimistic, and there was a feeling that Gu Baozhu didn't take the competition seriously speechless.

Du Ziteng frowned, hugging the book in his hand even tighter, the expression on his face was almost wrinkled, full of disapproval: "Don't talk nonsense, archery is not only about hard work, but also about talent, and not everyone It's rare to show off a little bit of my own efforts to show off to others, maybe the princess is secretly behind her back..."

Before the word "effort" could be uttered, it was covered by the whispers of the people around him. Du Ziteng's whole face flushed instantly. He was not good at arguing with others. His disdain made him feel resentful and helpless.

On the other hand, on the racecourse, the Guanghua county princess squinted at the Nanping princess next to him, and his tone was inexplicably sour.

"Sister Nanping these days, I'm afraid she only knows that she's home, but she's never seen her practice archery. If you want me to say, since you promised others, you can let go of your relationship. Like a big child, clinging to the house all day long."

Guanghua's words made Gu Baozhu stunned, and when he looked at her, an absurd look flashed across his eyes.

What does it mean that she knows how to go home all day long!With the current situation in Prince Gong's mansion, she hadn't been in that mansion for more than half a month, and the results of the autopsy on the coffin hadn't come out yet, how could she adjust her mentality to face the man in the mansion.

On the contrary, the Guanghua county lord, even if she is in the palace, is she so cynical?

What's the matter, is it because the former emperor in Guanghua Mansion couldn't give her father's love and protection, or is it because she simply can't understand herself like this and insists on coming to stab her a few words?

The thought that crossed her mind made Gu Baozhu slightly stunned, suddenly she raised her eyes and looked carefully at the county magistrate Fanguanghua, as if she wanted to discover something, but she saw that there was nothing else on the woman's face except sarcasm and unhappiness.

Gu Baozhu suppressed this strange emotion for the time being, put aside distracting thoughts, and when he set up the longbow in his hand, his eyes subconsciously passed through the crowd, trying to find a familiar figure, and saw Song Yan straightened his waist by the pine tree behind the crowd not far away. Instead of leaning against the tree trunk, he looked at Gu Baozhu and nodded to her encouragingly.

As if with some kind of affirmation, Gu Baozhu took a deep breath and closed his eyes amidst the noisy skepticism around him, his mind flashed across Zhuangzi in an instant, and the young man surrounded her, carefully and patiently helping her to correct her movements over and over again .

Frame by frame, Gu Baozhu's attention was already highly concentrated the moment he opened his eyes. The light in his eyes was full of confidence and determination that could not be ignored.

Everyone saw the Princess Nanping on the racecourse, the hem of her red dress fluttering in the wind, the woman had black hair and red lips, and the corners of her eyes were upturned, and the aura instantly opened up. The woman directly set up her long bow and aimed at the target. Swinging the arms, the fingertips holding the bowstring and the nock of the arrow bring a sense of strength.

The moment the arrow was drawn, Gu Baozhu only felt a white light flash across her mind. The state of that moment was so wonderful that it excited her whole body. She didn't even put down the longbow in her hand, and her mind was still thinking about that moment just now. status.

Gu Baozhu had a premonition, she didn't even have to look up at the target to know that today, compared to usual, she must have played a lot!Just because of the feeling of complete unity of body, mind and mind, she has this kind of confidence.

Before Gu Baozhu had time to look at the target, he heard gasps from the people around him.

Du Ziteng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pushed aside the crowd in front of him, and wiped his eyes in disbelief when he looked at the target, but such a funny look did not detract from his elated expression in the slightest.

Princess Nanping shot a total of three arrows just now, the first two arrows landed steadily on the red heart of the target, and the most wonderful thing was the third arrow, which directly crossed the belly of the second arrow and inserted into the red heart. The second arrow split in two.
