Chapter 21: The Xue Family's Unrivaled Archery The supple flowers and leaves are falling one after another. The girl wore white stockings and her ankles were covered. However, Li Guanyi still felt the touch as cold as jade. He let go of his hand as soon as he reacted. Xue Shuangtao backed away like lightning and touched the ground with his right foot. But as if he was electrocuted, as if he was unsteady on his feet, he took several steps back. Then his body swayed to the side, and he had to support himself with the war bow in his hand to barely stand still. A pair of almond eyes were full of panic, and there was a faint blush on his face. Xue Shuangtao saw his younger brother and the handsome and embarrassed young man. He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "...Mr. Li?" "You're already here." The kick just now came too fast. Li Guanyi, who was watching the show and had never learned any body skills, could only block it and suppress it. Now he felt embarrassed and said: "I was just playing around with the young master." At this moment, Xue Changqing, who had just been shocked by her sister, was stunned and immediately reacted. Know that you are throwing yourself into a trap.
His buttocks bounced up as if there were springs on them, shouting: "You, you, you, you are that sir?!" "You're obviously not much older than me!" The young man behind him had his hands on his shoulders. Just as he thought, the corners of his mouth turned up little by little, and with the frightened expression on the child's face, he said gently: "Yes, I am the one you are trying to hide from, the new Mr. Shushu." "Come on, class is on." Xue Shuangtao watched Li Guan holding Xue Changqing and walking towards the pavilion. He took a few quick, deep breaths, allowing himself to regain his gentleness and generosity as he did to others. He ignored his brother's frightened expression, which was like "Who are you? You are not my sister", and invited Li Guan to sit down in the pavilion. "This is Tingfeng Pavilion." "The children of the Xue family come here occasionally to enjoy the scenery. My elder brother and I, as well as my younger brother, will bring sweet-scented osmanthus cakes here to watch the moon during the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no one to disturb us now. Please teach Chang Qing some basic skills first." Changqing, come and see Mr. "I do not want!" Xue Shuangtao, who had just returned to his gentle look, lowered his eyes. Xue Changqing bowed obediently: "Changqing has met Mr. Growing up together, the eldest sister has extremely high authority over her younger brothers. Xue Shuangtao's voice was gentle and calm, and he said: "Sir, please wait a moment. I'm going to change my clothes. I'm wearing a military uniform. I don't look like I can calm down and study the scriptures." Xue Shuangtao nodded, turned and left, his footsteps calm and quiet. After turning around a bush, his footsteps suddenly accelerated, and finally ran into his own courtyard. He ran into the house, threw his bow on the bed, untied his boots, pulled off his right sock, revealing the white jade-like sole of his foot, then shook his hand and threw the grabbed sock on the ground. Like throwing a ball of snow. Face full of shame and annoyance. Could it be that you have found a deceiver? He has some skills, but he is also a disciple! But that kick happened to be the one that swept past him.
Looking at the footsteps of the gentleman, he had not learned any body skills. He was sitting cross-legged and had no way to hide. Xue Shuangtao felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. She shouted: "Ruyun, Xuemei." Two maids in their twenties responded. The girl said: "I want to bathe!" The daughter's ankle was touched, and she was very embarrassed, but she could neither beat the gentleman nor hurt herself, so she paused and said angrily: "Here, burn this stocking! " The two beautiful maids looked at each other, and although they didn't know why, they responded with smiles. The bathing utensils were quickly prepared. The eldest daughter of the Xue family was the most favored. The bathtub she used was a "jian" that was seven feet long, three feet wide and one foot three inches high. There were tigers and beasts on the outside and a set of In the big ring, two maids poured hot water at the most suitable temperature. There were medicinal ingredients in the water to soothe the muscles and bones. Xue Shuangtao sat in the mirror, thinking about other things besides this today. What’s more, the way he behaved with his younger brother internally was seen by the newly recruited Mr. Sutra Sutra, which broke his gentle and generous appearance externally. He felt a little embarrassed for no reason, but thinking about this matter After much deliberation, there is no good solution. Unable to think, Xue Shuangtao gave up, folded his arms around his knees, and sank down. Goo-goo-goo-goo. The maid Xuemei laughed: "Miss is depressed again." "The last time was when the sparrow I raised flew away without clipping its tail feathers." Another maid, Ruyun, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, take a bath to soothe your mind and you will feel much better." ……………… Li Guanyi and Xue Changqing stared at each other. Just now, a maid served some snacks, including six kinds of dried fruits, six kinds of fresh fruits, six kinds of snacks, and a pot of freshly brewed tea. Li Guanyi took a sip of tea and asked, "Why don't you like Shushu?" Xue Changqing said: "Because it's useless!" He glanced and saw that his sister had not come. He said in a childish and impolite tone: "Anyway, I'm telling you, I don't need divination, and you don't have to teach me. Can't I just take the normal reward?! We can talk here, have some snacks, and it will only take an hour!" Get paid for fishing? If there is no bronze tripod, it is not unacceptable. But Li Guanyi needed to teach the child in front of him the magic, and then he could see the old man and complete the accumulation of bronze cauldron and jade liquid. Naturally, he wanted to veto it and said leisurely: "No." The child, who was about seven or eight years old, looked at Li Guanyi and said: "Do you dislike the lack of money?" "I'll add money!" Behind the flowers, Xue Shuangtao, who had changed her clothes, raised her eyes slightly. Her eyesight and ears were very strong, she used her footwork, slowed down her pace, and frowned slightly. In the past, many gentlemen were dismissed by Xue Changqing like this. Children of rich families, what they have seen Too many, even though they are young, they are also unexpectedly mature in some aspects. Those former economical teachers who were greedy for petty gains were all expelled from the Xue family after being discovered. Xue Changqing, who was still very young, waved her hand and said confidently, "How much will my sister give you?" "I'll give you double!"
Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Then I'm afraid you can't afford it." Xue Changqing said proudly: "How much?" Li Guanyi said leisurely: "Priceless." Xue Changqing's face was filled with anger, and Li Guan said: "Miss Xue helped me redeem my elder's belongings. I appreciate it. Little guy, don't waste your efforts. You must learn this math." Xue Shuangtao in the distance heard it clearly and felt a little embarrassed. So true to your word. Just now I secretly said that he was a traitor, wouldn't it be an injustice to him? The inner strength was flowing, and the footsteps were approaching slowly as usual. Only then did Li Guanyi hear the footsteps. He turned his head slightly and saw that Xue Shuangtao had changed into a goose-yellow gown. She wears a blue waistband and a jade pendant hanging down from her waist. Because she doesn't go out, she has a little less ornaments on her temples, and her appearance is pretty. After meeting his sister, Xue Changqing, who had just shown little respect for the new Sutra Calculator, suddenly became more honest. When Li Guan saw this, he asked again: "Then you don't like magic, what do you like?" Xue Changqing said confidently: "Of course it's archery and horse riding, and martial arts skills!" Xue Shuangtao felt a headache. At this time, I felt helpless. If I really got angry and started making a scene, it would not help. I had to comfort him afterwards and explained to Li Guanyi: "Please excuse my laughter, sir. My Xue family has inherited the martial arts of archery, and Changqing has wanted to learn archery since he was young, as he has seen his father's skills. However, he is only eight years old, so it is difficult for him to achieve success in archery, so we hope that he can learn the other six arts of a gentleman first." Xue Changqing sat there with his arms folded, looking angry. Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, and said in a gentle voice: "But what if the magic can help you improve your martial arts?" Xue Changqing said: "I don't believe it!" Li Guanyi smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, let's go to the martial arts arena and take a look?" Xue Changqing was puzzled, and then he looked forward to going to the martial arts arena to practice: "Really go?" "of course." Li Guanyi looked at Xue Shuangtao: "Miss Xue, is it okay?" Although Xue Shuangtao had some doubts in his heart, he just nodded and said, "I will follow your instructions." The place where Xue family disciples practiced archery was not in an ordinary martial arts field, but indoors. Firstly, they were worried that the disciples were not skilled enough and might hurt others by mistake. Secondly, it was easier for beginners to master the art in a windless environment. After gradually improving, they would have other places to practice archery. Many Xue family members come here to hone their archery skills. Seeing Xue Changqing and Xue Shuangtao coming, they were all quite curious, especially when they saw Xue Changqing changed into archery clothes and holding a bow, they became even more curious and gathered around him. Li Guan smiled and said, "You can try firing it and let me see what you can do." Xue Changqing was very proud. He took an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and shot it horizontally. He was indeed the son of a famous family and had quite a bearing. However, due to his young age and weak strength, he did not shoot properly and failed to hit the target. The Xue family must have all kinds of archery skills, but they would not teach them to a child of this age.
The Xue family members around looked at this place with some smiles. Li Guan silently counted the time it took for the arrow to land on the ground. Someone over there shouted about the distance at which the arrow had landed. After asking a series of questions about the strength of the bow, the weight of the arrow, and Xue Changqing's height, Li Guanyi asked Xue Changqing to shoot a few more times. He silently deduced the approximate data he needed, verified it twice, and gradually became confident. It's just an estimation of a parabola curve, just a high school physics problem. Just adding air resistance will not allow for calculations to be as precise as in physics problems. However, it is possible to calculate a rough range and hit the target. By teaching the student in accordance with his aptitude and making him interested in numerology, he can be taught naturally. He will also have the opportunity to meet the old man when his academic performance is checked next month and the bronze tripod and jade liquid can be completed. Xue Changqing was upset for not hitting the target several times, while Xue Shuangtao looked at Li Guanyi in confusion, wondering how he was going to do it, using numerology as martial arts. The people around also heard about the agreement between Li Guanyi and Xue Changqing, and they were all very curious, and soon a large group of people gathered around to watch the fun. Li Guanyi sat on the ground and said calmly: "Please give me paper and pen." "Then I can tell you what to do." ……………… In the most central location of the Xue family residence, there is a pavilion with a pond in front. A white tiger statue lies quietly beside the pond, watching the spring breeze swaying the lotus pond. A tall, white-haired old man sits in front of the pond, holding a handful of fish food in his hand, and koi carp are rolling in the pond. A steward came quickly. The old man looked at the koi in the pond and asked with a smile, "The arithmetic master that Shuang Tao found today has also arrived. How is it? Can he teach this kid Changqing?" The steward said: "I just heard the news." "The young master has gone to the martial arts arena." The old man frowned slightly: "Why go to the martial arts arena if you are a scholar?" The steward replied, "I heard that the gentleman said that he could use numerology to help the young master become an archer." The old man paused and asked curiously, "Numerology assists martial arts?" "interesting." After a moment's hesitation, he threw all the bait in his hand into the pond and said calmly: "I've never heard of such a thing before. Let's go." "I'll go take a look too." The old man stood up, and the white tiger statue beside him yawned lazily, stood up, and followed the old man to the martial arts field. (End of this chapter)
