Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 17 Gathering Momentum
  Xie Jing, whose abbreviation is Mingzhu, comes from "Guan Tao Fu" written by Cao Pi, a writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "The carcass became the ruins of the island, and the eyes became the pearl of the bright moon."

As the allusion says, Xie Jing's eyes are very bright and piercing. He has good archery skills and can hit all five arrows on foot and two out of three arrows on horseback.

"It's a pity that she looks too delicate."

Xie Jing's appearance is really a model of male and female appearance. Too feminine. If you dress up in women's clothing, you will probably be more beautiful than a noble lady. Let Jia Rong secretly shake his head.

"Dole!"

Xie Jing fired five arrows in a row, all of which hit the bullseye, making Qiu Liang and Han Qi cheer loudly.

One of them is a commander in the Wucheng Army and Horse Department, and the other is a camp officer in the infantry commander's office. They are all "sophisticated ghosts" in the top small circles. They are good at doing business and make a fortune by building gardens for the palace and the mansions of wealthy families. He is the largest "contractor" among the second-generation children in Shenjing City.

They fell in love with Jia Rong and wanted to invest in advance and cooperate with Jia Rong.

During the 100th anniversary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the entire capital camp had long since died. Most of the camp soldiers were reduced to professional craftsmen and were exploited by the imperial court and powerful nobles for a long time. When it comes to repairing city walls, palaces, inner palaces, houses, and building tombs, sergeants are dispatched to the capital camp to serve. Especially in the late Yongxing period, the emperor indulged in desolate politics, was extravagant and glitzy, and the style of comparison among civil servants and military generals flourished. Every household is competing to build garden buildings, and even more so, the Jingying sergeants and Jingcao squad soldiers are regarded as cheap labor. They are everywhere in the sacred city.

Although Jia Rong has no intention of doing "business", the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Infantry Commanding Office still have a foothold in Shenjing City. I don't know when the relationship between the two will be used, so Jia Rong has a friendly attitude and takes the initiative to make friends.

After Xie Jing finished ejaculating, Qiu Liang and Han Qi also tried to be naughty for a while. Unfortunately, even though his arms were weak, he could only pull three arrows and hit one.

"Brother Rong, you'd better be stubborn." Qiu Liang shook his head and gave up the target position to Jia Rong.

"it is good."

Jia Rong smiled and nodded. After resting for a while, her physical strength had already recovered and she was a little eager to try. Standing in the swan shooting area, he picked up the soap-carved lacquer bow, narrowed his right eye, aimed at the red-circled bullseye in the distance, and fired a barrage of arrows.

"Dole! Dole! Dole!"

One after another, carved feather arrows were pulled out from the quiver by Jia Rong rhythmically, and shot out with the bow, hitting the red-circled bullseye with a "thud, thud, thud".

"one two Three……"

Xie Jing, Qiu Liang, Han Qi and others stared at the bullseye and silently counted the number of hits.

"All seven arrows hit the target, and the remaining arrows hit the target."

Looking at the final score on the archery target, Jia Rong pursed her lips and sighed secretly. The pulling force was still insufficient, and the last few arrows lost their accuracy. Otherwise, relying on his precise and powerful perception, those arrows would definitely hit the bullseye.

Jia Rong summed up the "failure experience" here, but the disciples of Shixun who were paying attention to Jia Rong's archery in the arrow path all looked shocked.

All seven arrows hit the target, and the remaining arrows hit the target?
  "Is this equaling Niu Shida's score?" Someone murmured in a low voice and took a breath of cold air.

"Brother Rong, you are amazing. After just a short rest, you tied Niu Shida's score." Xie Jing, Qiu Liang, Han Qi and others, with excited joy in their eyes, loudly praised Jia Rong's shooting skills. score.

If we say that Jia Rong just stepped on Niu Junjie and Feng Ziying, it was a clever move. So now all seven arrows hit the target, and the remaining arrow hit the target, tying Niu Junjie's score, successfully proving his hard power.

Even Niu Junjie couldn't help but be moved, standing there with a livid face and clenching his fists.

He didn't come.

First, it was because Mu Yun gave him a "complete lie", saying that he was not doing well today. In addition, he was also afraid of Jia Rong's terrifying resilience. He was worried that if he held him tight or competed with him again, he would injure his muscles and bones.

"Hey, it's just that all seven arrows hit. What a skill. Brothers, you can do it if you practice more." Jia Rong smiled modestly and inadvertently cast a faint contemptuous look in Niu Junjie's direction.

In an instant, Niu Junjie's face turned red, he clenched his fists and strode away with a cold snort.

"Hey, what a thing!" Jia Rong cursed in front of everyone, but the smile on his face became brighter, with a smile on his lips and clear eyes.

When the brothers in the arrow path saw this scene, they felt mixed emotions and filled with emotion. Niu Junjie relies on his father's power and is capable. He is so arrogant in front of others and looks at people with raised nose. Except for a few people, there are not many people he can take seriously.

But now, it is really unbelievable to be stepped on by Jia Rong.

Jia clan...

Maybe it’s really going to rise again!
  All the disciples of Shixun sighed in their hearts, their eyes sparkled, and they looked at Jia Rong with eagerness and flattery. While Jia Rong hasn't risen yet, if you don't invest in feelings now, when will you wait?

As a result, the atmosphere in the arrow path became more and more heated, and most of the disciples of Shixun surrounded Jia Rong, like stars over the moon, complimenting and saying good things.

Jia Rong smiled and accepted everyone who came. He divided everyone into three, six or nine grades according to their personal ability and family background. He made sure that everyone felt like a spring breeze and felt the attention from him.

Seeing this scene, the evaluation of him by all the disciples of Shixun has been improved to another level.

"With his ability to be all-round and versatile, this Jia Rong can't beat him."

Not far away, Mu Yun and other children from the county prince's palace looked at Jia Rong from a distance and discussed with each other in low voices, their voices showing their respect and appreciation for Jia Rong.

  The refreshing morning flew by quickly, and the sun rose to the middle of the sky. Even though there were many fake rocks and lakes and mountains in Qiongying Garden, the shade of the trees was too much for the weak Shixun disciples, and the number of people was reduced in twos and threes. Either they went to the pavilion or attic, or they hid in the rockery and woods, hugging each other, no one knew what they were doing.

In this era, being a manly man is an elegant thing, and the world won't criticize it too much.

In order to invite favors, some women will take the initiative to dress up as men to suit the unique hobbies of their male hosts.

Therefore, if you walk into a noble family's home, if there is a concubine or even the hostess wearing men's clothing. Don't be surprised, there is a high probability that they are not beauties in pink. Just to get more attention from the male master. From then on, you can identify the unique quirks of the male protagonist.

Jia Rong stayed in the archery lane all morning, practicing archery to show off her abilities, while communicating with the disciples of Shixun around her to deepen their relationship with each other.

The effect is very good.

After practicing all morning, Jia Rong fired a series of arrows again and again due to her super resilience, and her archery accuracy was visibly improving. It has reached the level of nine out of twelve and the remaining arrows hit the target, completely tying Feng Ziying's score.

Even if Feng Ziying ended up later, she was only evenly matched with Jia Rong.

Seeing this, the atmosphere in the arrow path finally reached its peak. Jia Rong once again successfully proved himself with "hard power", leaving people speechless.

"Today's martial arts champion, I, Jia Rong, have decided on me!"

In the arrow path, Jia Rong was smiling and calm, but his clear eyes told everyone this fact profoundly. And as he practiced again and again, the aura on his body became more and more settled, and he gradually gathered an invisible momentum. Let him stand out among the crowd, like a king, and his behavior reveals an invincible aura that dominates the world.

At first glance, it looks like a sword hidden in a scabbard, finally showing its sharp edge with a cold light.

Calm, cold, and unparalleled.

After shooting arrows all morning, even though Jia Rong had extraordinary physical strength, he felt hungry. I was about to eat something when I suddenly saw a sneaky figure in the rockery woods. I couldn't help but frown and shook my head secretly.

"This garden party at the Dongping County Prince's Mansion is really hard to describe."

It's not uncommon for Sehun's children to be good men, but it's really hard to stand up to each other in public! At least you should avoid people.

"Brother Lianhua, it's getting late. I'm having a banquet at Biyun Pavilion. Why don't you go with us?"

At this moment, Mu Yun, the eldest son of the Dongping County Prince's Palace, wearing a silver-white python-riding robe, came over with a smile and led several princes and grandsons to invite him to the table.
