The filial son of the Red Mansion

He had originally thought that Jia Rong was looking for an archery master just as an excuse to play the game of shooting pots on the archery course, but he didn't expect that he was really shooting at targets with a bow. He had been doing this for several days without stopping.

How could Feng Ziying know what Jia Rong was thinking?

Although Jia Rong felt sorry that as a time traveler, he was not a genius who could learn everything at a glance. But he thought that since he had learned it, he might as well learn it well, no matter whether it was useful or not.

Archery is also quite interesting.

He had never touched a bow before, but as a modern soul deeply influenced by martial arts novels, how could he not be curious about bows, swords, and guns?

He was very worried these days. Although his arms were very sore, he was happy. Especially when the archery master said that his movements were standard and beautiful, he couldn't help but feel happy.

All we want is beauty.

The movements are standard and beautiful, and the results can scare people no matter what.

Look, Feng Ziying beside him was so surprised that his jaw dropped. Jia Rong was secretly delighted, and looked at the third-level treasure chest above Feng Ziying's head, wondering what level of treasure chest Feng Ziying's father, General Feng Tang, would have?

What level of treasure chest does the old lady of the Feng family have?

In the future, I will have to interact more with the Feng family and prepare for a rainy day. I am not cursing people for no reason, but everyone has their own destiny, and no one can escape death. I am just preparing in advance.

Jia Rong shot at the target, and with a bang, he hit it!

The arrow hit the target.

"Uncle Feng, how about this arrow of mine?"

Feng Ziying rolled his eyes. "There's still a big gap between twenty steps and fifty steps."

Jia Rong also knew that his cheats were not that powerful, so how could he master the archery skills and strength in just a few days? In a few days, he was already familiar with the distance of 20 steps. If he spent a few more months, he might be able to practice 50 steps.

The archery master also laughed and said, "Uncle Xiaorong has made rapid progress. You can try to shoot a heavier bow in the future."

Feng Ziying was sitting down to rest when he suddenly looked up and stood up, jumping up and down, saying, "I was wondering why I saw something was wrong with you. You shot so many times but you didn't seem to be exhausted. Quick, change to the same bow as mine."

Jia Rong chuckled and said, "Just proceed step by step, don't be in a hurry. Just practice more with the wives at night in the next few months, and when we are strong, there will be no bow that we can't shoot."

He discovered these days that the "San Tong Qi" actually has some effect. After sweating a lot, it can not only relieve the soreness from practicing shooting during the day, but also enhance physical strength.

The two played for a while and then took a break.

Feng Ziying sighed, "I can still accompany you these few days. At the end of the month, I was selected to participate in the annual hunting."

When Jia Rong heard about hunting, he immediately became interested. The so-called hunting is to surround the mountains and hunt.

The hunting that Feng Ziying mentioned was that the emperor led the people to the royal hunting grounds to hunt.

Jia Rong asked, "When will my uncle leave the capital?"

Feng Ziying was obviously not very interested in hunting, and said helplessly: "It is usually at the end of March every year, and this year is no exception. Since Rong'er wants to seek a future, you will go there next year."

When Jia Rong heard that it was related to him, he asked for further advice.

It turns out that the spring hunting in March is mainly an activity for the royal family and the children of meritorious families. A few days before the hunting, the young masters of the noble families and the waiting guards will be reviewed and tested, which is nothing more than a horse riding and archery competition in front of the emperor. After the competition, the winners or the outstanding ones will naturally be rewarded by the emperor, either gifts or appointments.

The review of hunting is of course more than just a review. Those who perform well during the hunting will also be rewarded.

That was indeed a good opportunity to gain merit.

Wang Ziteng thought it was a good idea, but he was only capable of this. Jia Rong scratched his brow, not because he was worried about poor grades, but because he was worried about the arrows missing when hunting.

He has lived two lives and cherishes his life more than anyone else. He has not seen many of the beautiful women in the Red Mansion, and people like Daiyu and Tanchun are still young.

If you hang up at this time, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

I still have to find a way to complete Youshi's mission. Having an extra piece of gold silk soft armor on my body always gives me an extra layer of protection.

Jia Rong made up his mind. Seeing that it was getting dark, he wanted to keep Feng Ziying for dinner before leaving.

Feng Ziying waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, saying: "Don't talk to me about this this year. You can't drink alcohol during mourning, and even if you drink, you can't ask some beautiful people to accompany you. It's meaningless. When you are out of mourning, I will invite the top performer in Wanhua Tower to my house, and we will have a good drink again."

In the next few days, Jia Rong really no longer mentioned the matter of inviting Feng Ziying to dinner.

On this day, Feng Ziying had gone to Tiewang Mountain to hunt, and his archery master had also left for two days due to some matters.

In the afternoon, Jia Rong was practicing archery when suddenly someone came in to report: Madam You, Grandmother Zhu, Grandmother Xiaolan, Second Madam Lian, and Grandmother Xiaorong are here.

When Jia Rong heard the names of Zhu Da Niang and Lang Ge'er, he didn't react at first.

Grandmother Zhu Li Wan is the legal wife of Jia Zheng's eldest son Jia Zhu. Because Jia Zhu died young, Li Wan has been a widow for many years and rarely interacts with others. Li Wan's son Jia Lan is even more withdrawn and ambitious. He looks down on his brothers from the two mansions and is only close to Jia Jun from Ningrong Street.

How did they get here? Jia Rong was puzzled, but he put down his bowstring and went to meet them.

Wang Xifeng looked around the archery range and asked, "Why are you here alone today?"

Jia Rong only told her about Feng Ziying and the archery master. He asked, "Madam and aunts, how come you have time to come here today?"

"Come and see how you are doing." Wang Xifeng said softly, glancing at Lang'er, and then said, "The day before yesterday, on Aunt Wang's birthday, your uncle Wang also asked about your progress. He specifically asked me to come and monitor it. It happened that Lang'er was also interested in practicing archery, so he came along."

It turned out to be the case.

Jia Rong thought to himself that he should give it a good show.

He immediately held the bow and arrow, with a straight and proper posture. He bent the bow and released the string. Two sounds were heard, one after the other, and the arrow hit the center of the bull's eye twenty steps away.

No one present understood any of this. They could only see that the movements were decent and he hit the target.

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

At that moment, Lang Ge'er was the most excited. He clapped and cheered for the first time, and said anxiously, "Brother Rong is so good. Can I come to practice with you after school?"

Ok?

What do you mean? You want me to take care of a kid?

Jia Rong looked at Wang Xifeng, Youshi and the others. Wang Xifeng's eyebrows were charming and happy, and the little girl had a satisfied smile on her lips, as if she had not heard what Lang'er had just said.

Yu Shi heard it, but did not say anything to interrupt.

Li Wan, however, had a complicated expression, as if she was hesitating about something.

Jia Rong saw Lan Ge'er's fiery eyes again, so he had to nod his head in agreement. "I won't be bored anymore with Lan Ge'er as my companion."

Therefore, she practiced archery with the little brat Jia Lan for a while before the game was over. In the evening, Li Wan and Jia Lan had returned. Wang Xifeng, however, made an excuse that she had something to say and took Ping Er to Cong Lu Tang.

Qin Keqing looked at the backs of Fengjie and Ping'er with mixed feelings. Her eyes changed several times before she followed Youshi back to the front yard.

Youshi had noticed Keqing's expression. She didn't want to get involved in such matters, but after sitting in the room for a while, she couldn't help but want to go to Conglu Hall to see if there was any ghost.

At this time, Jia Rong was talking to Wang Xifeng, one was complacent, the other was fierce.

The rouge on Wang Xifeng's lips faded a lot.

Chapter 49: Yu Shi listens to Jiao in Cong Lu Tang

Yu's mood had never been as complicated as it was today, and she was still hesitating even on the way to Cong Lu Tang.

When she reached the pavilion on the hillside, she paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, and sent away all the maids around her, leaving only Yindie, whom she trusted the most, before continuing to Conglutang.

After crossing the bridge over the water, they walked through the corridor along the water, passed by several banana trees by the stream, and arrived at a Xiangfei bamboo forest. The winding and rugged stone path was paved in the bamboo forest. Youshi and Yindie walked slowly and saw the gate of Conglutang.

There are many buildings in Conglutang. The main building has two floors, and the podium next to it embraces the courtyard like an arm.

Youshi entered the yard and saw two clusters of tall bamboos surrounding it. There were several targets between the bamboos, one of which looked like it had been blown up by something, with a hole of medium size on it.

As soon as she and Yindie arrived at the corridor of the study in the podium building, they heard coquettish voices from inside.

Could it be that Rong'er and Feng Lazi really...

You Shi was a little afraid to imagine what was going on inside. Seeing that there was no one around, she became even more annoyed.

She cursed inwardly: Even if you guys are making trouble in there, at least have someone guarding outside. What if the other maids see us?

She was even more dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng's past shrewdness, but how could she not be prepared for such a thing. At that moment, she had to ask Yindie to guard the door of Conglutang and not allow anyone to come in, even if Qin Keqing or her maid came, she would stop them from entering.

Youshi walked forward with light steps. The sounds became clearer as she got further forward, and she could even hear some sounds of water.

Suddenly she stopped outside the window of the side room in the main building and saw that the window was not closed tightly, which made her even more angry.

These two people are really lawless.

Hearing the sound of the water, I couldn't help but look through the crack in the window. I saw a muscular man standing in the bathtub, and another person squatting in the water.

Youshi suddenly opened her eyes wide. The person standing in the water was Jia Rong, and the person squatting in the water was Wang Xifeng...Feng'er who was sent over.

Youshi's face was terribly red, and a heat was rushing out of her skin. She quickly withdrew her eyes, her mind was trembling. After a moment of shock, she quickly exhaled a hot breath and left lightly.

The scene I just saw kept flashing through my mind. It was such a huge shock.

She came quietly and left quietly, without anyone noticing.

The next day, when Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Jia Lan came again, everyone talked about Jia Rong, but Youshi's tone seemed a little unnatural.

Jia Lan was very proud of himself, as the archery master happened to be present today and he went to ask for advice.

Jia Rong didn't know about Youshi's affairs, nor did he care about Jia Lan playing around. He only practiced his own skills, strength, distance, and accuracy, little by little. This is a process of practice makes perfect, and daily practice will definitely improve.

By May, the weather was already hot. Jia Rong had made some progress in archery and was beginning to get used to the distance of fifty steps. He estimated that it would not be long before he could practice archery on horseback. Only if he had some basic skills would he not be exposed during the review.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng felt that she had not made a mistake and felt sweet in her heart. The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that this guy always rubbed her when she was hugged.

She glared fiercely at the mischief maker.

"What are you moving about?"

Jia Rong smiled in his heart and said shamelessly, "Good Feng'er, do you still mean what you said last time?"

Wang Xifeng felt that her body was completely pressed against Rong Ge'er's arms. She bit her lower lip lightly, pretending not to remember, and deliberately asked, "What did you say?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember." Ever since Jia Rong was deceived by Wang Xifeng last time, he never took Wang Xifeng's empty words seriously again.

He has been practicing archery these days. Wang Xifeng rarely comes to the east. Today he finally found an opportunity and he is not willing to let it go.

Jia Rong had been patient for a long time and had mastered many tricks, ready to use them on Wang Xifeng. He was determined to make Wang Xifeng completely submit to him from head to toe.

Wang Xifeng glanced at him quietly, her eyes, which were always sharp and fierce, now showed a charming look. She had indeed mentioned to Jia Rong before that if Jia Rong could concentrate on learning archery and achieve success, she would really agree to it.

In fact, even if this didn't happen, she would still agree.

She is not one to turn back.

Wang Xifeng had been avoiding meeting Jia Rong alone for some time, and she didn't find any excuses to come over. In fact, she was worried that she would feel pain for two days like she did that night.

Even though she came several times during this period, Jia Rong was never given the opportunity to find a chance. He was only held in her arms and she only took a few sips of rouge.

Today, Wang Xifeng deliberately took Li Wan to Youshi and Qin Keqing, and then returned to find Jia Rong, deliberately giving Jia Rong a chance. Before coming to the east, she bathed herself carefully and asked Ping'er to change her into her favorite clothes and jewelry.
