stern wife

Chapter 291 Where did the money come from?

Pei Xiaoran stared at him blankly, without speaking for a long while.

Yang Hao patted her little shoulder, stood up, and said to her:
"continue."

Then he stepped aside and continued to watch with his hands behind his back.

Pei Xiaoran's fingers holding the bow tightened, and finally he pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow.

This time, she didn't deliberately miss, but hit the bull's-eye.

Yang Hao smiled slightly, watching her continue to move towards the next target, with a hint of pampering in his eyes.

In fact, when he heard that Pei Xiaoran shot the tiger to death, he already had doubts.

At any rate, it is the little apprentice he watched grow up, no one knows more about how capable he is in archery than him.

Although he was on official business at that time, Yang Hao still took a little time to take a look at the tiger before it was skinned.

The tiger has only one wound all over its body, at its throat.

This is the same as what Yang Hao guessed, because, with Pei Xiaoran's little strength, if he shot elsewhere, the tiger would definitely not die so simply.

Therefore, only by shooting at the deadliest place can this beast be taken down in one fell swoop.

And such accuracy is almost impossible for his little apprentice.

It's not that he looks down on his little apprentice, but that Pei Xiaoran is still young, and archery is not just as simple as putting an arrow on a bow and shooting it out.

In addition to excellent archery skills, one must have an absolutely good mentality, so that one can still stabilize one's mind and concentrate in such a chaotic and dangerous situation, and give the tiger a fatal blow at the most appropriate time.

This is the most impossible thing for his young apprentice to do.

Pei Xiaoran is still so young, seeing a beast bigger than her attacking head-on, it's not bad if he doesn't call his mother and run away crying, how could he take the initiative to meet it, and even succeed in one blow?

Therefore, there must be something strange about this arrow.

However, Yang Hao did not mention this matter to anyone.

Because he knew that once he made this guess, it would definitely cause trouble for his little apprentice.

Moreover, no matter whether Pei Xiaoran's archery suddenly gets better or worse, she is still his apprentice.

Since he is his own apprentice, he must take good care of him.

Seeing Pei Xiaoran walking farther and farther, and finally standing still in front of a target because of his limited arm strength, Yang Hao said:

"There is no need to go any further, let's stop here today."

Pei Xiaoran responded, wiped the sweat from his forehead casually with his sleeve, put down the bow and arrow, stretched his sore shoulders and arms, and turned around to pick up the arrows that fell and were stuck in the target.

Although hitting the bullseye is no longer difficult for her now.

But because the strength of the bow is too weak, her arm strength is also limited, so when a certain limit is reached, even if she can aim, the long arrow cannot reach the target.

However, Pei Xiaoran didn't care, because for her now, being able to do this was considered pretty good.

Even...somewhat extraordinary.

But now that her fifth master has helped her find an excuse, she no longer hides her strength.

Anyway, it will be leaked in the future. Since her fifth master is willing to help her cover up the truth, what else does she have to worry about?

The setting sun is on the mountain, and the twilight is approaching.

After a day of martial arts and study, Pei Xiaoran took Han Chan and others back home in a carriage.

When she was about to reach a dim sum shop, Xiao Rou suddenly said:

"Miss, I want to go to the dim sum shop in front with my brother to have some dim sum. Is it okay?"

Pei Xiaoran looked up at her, nodded, and said:
"Of course, do I need to wait for you here?"

"No need," Xiaorou quickly waved her hands and said with a smile:
"It's not far from the mansion. My brother and I can just walk back after eating."

Pei Xiaoran immediately ordered the driver to stop in front of the dim sum shop in front.

This shop is exactly the dim sum shop that Pei Xiaoran brought Zhang Zeqing and Xiaorou to eat at that time - Su Yunzhai.

Now Xiao Rou and Zhang Zeqing get monthly money. Although it is not much, it is okay to come to eat once in a while.

However, Pei Xiaoran still asked before they got out of the car:
"Is there enough silver? If not, I still have some broken silver here."

Before Xiaorou could speak, Zhang Zeqing said:
"That's enough. Thanks miss, we can't eat much."

Only then did Pei Xiaoran feel relieved, and after watching them enter the shop, he let the driver continue on.

In fact, Zhang Zeqing didn't make an appointment with Xiao Rou in advance to come to this dim sum shop for dim sum.

However, since Xiaorou wants to eat, it's okay for him to accompany her to have a meal.

Different from the timid and shy and afraid to look at people when she came here for the first time, when she walked into this shop again this time, Xiao Rou held her head high and held her chest high, as if she was a master.

The clerk greeted them attentively, and led the two of them to sit down at an empty table, and asked with a smile:

"I don't know what you two want to eat? We have released a lot of new snacks recently, and they are delicious. I wonder if the two guests want to try them?"

Xiao Rou glanced at him, with a look of disdain and arrogance, and said:

"Then have a piece of everything and try it. By the way, what are the most expensive dim sums you have here? Come and have a piece of everything."

When the guy heard this, he laughed until his eyes disappeared, and hurriedly said:
"Wait a minute, I'll let someone do it for you."

Zhang Zeqing frowned and said:

"Why do you order so many dim sum? You only pick the expensive ones, do you have money to pay?"

Xiao Rou nodded and said:
"Of course! Without money, how dare I order so many and such expensive dim sum?"

Zhang Zeqing thought about it, Xiaorou's monthly money was as much as his, from the day he entered Pei's mansion to now, all the monthly money added up, probably wouldn't be enough for this meal, right?
He frowned more and more tightly, and asked:
"Where did you get so much money?"

Xiao Rou curled her lips and said:
"You don't have to worry about it, anyway, I have money!"

Zhang Zeqing's eyes darkened, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Could it be stolen?"

Xiaorou's eyes widened, her face full of grievances, and she said:
"Am I that kind of person? Brother Zeqing just doesn't believe me?"

Zhang Zeqing asked persistently:
"Then where did the money come from?"

Of course Xiaorou can't say that she betrayed Pei Xiaoran and got it from Cheng Shi. Hearing this, she thought about it and said:

"I picked it up."

"Where did you get it?"

"exist……"

Xiao Rou rolled her eyes, pointed outward, and said:
"on the street!"

Zhang Zeqing stood up, turned around and left.

Xiaorou was startled, she quickly stood up to pull him, and said anxiously:

"Brother Zeqing, where are you going? You haven't had any snacks yet!"

Zhang Zeqing shook off her hand and said coldly:
"Eat here by yourself, I'll go home first."

Xiao Rou ran up to him again, opened her arms to stop him, and begged:

"What's the point of eating it alone? And I ordered so much, I can't finish it all by myself? Brother Zeqing, please, please eat with me, okay?"

Zhang Zeqing was completely unmoved, and said coldly word by word:
"I don't eat cakes bought with unknown money."
