Chapter 715 Deliberately Making Things Difficult for Mr. Shu

The final results showed that he had exactly the same grades as the third master.

Master Shi is not around, Master Jiu is at the bottom.

Just when Third Master and Eighth Master thought they were tied for first place.

As soon as the fourteenth elder brother came up, all three arrows hit the bull's-eye.

As soon as the result came out, Kangxi's hearty laughter resounded throughout the hall.

"Okay, very good! Little Fourteen, you really didn't disappoint me."

The fourteenth elder brother handed the bow and arrow to the slave, and went into the hall to make a big salute: "The emperor amazed me, no matter how my son is, it is you who taught me well."

Kangxi looked at this son with relief, at such a young age, he was actually stronger than those older brothers.

This made him see the shadow of the big brother from the fourteenth brother.

Back then, the eldest elder brother was superb in martial arts, whether it was riding and archery or bow and arrow, he was undoubtedly the number one among the elder brothers.

After pondering for a moment, he sent an errand to Brother Fourteen.

"Fourteenth, hundreds of thousands of peasants in Guizhou rebelled. I order you to leave in three days and go to Guizhou to pacify the mob."

Brother Fourteen is already good at martial arts, and he always wanted to show off.

Now that I got a good job, I naturally accept it.

"My son thanked Emperor Amalong for his grace."

This is a royal family banquet, no matter how ordinary it is, something important happens.

Otherwise, brothers, why bother to show off.

Seeing this scene, Ruoyin twitched the corners of his mouth.

These buddies are also under a lot of pressure, and the intensity of competition for favor is no worse than that in the backyard.

Even more than that.

Just after the elder brothers finished the competition, a male voice that sounded comfortable came from outside the hall to the hall.

"I heard that Mr. Shu is omniscient and knows everything, but I just don't know how well Mr. Archery is. If it's convenient, you might as well shoot for me."

Ruoyin heard the sound and saw that the person who said this was Baotai who had nothing to do with him.

Even though his tone was calm, Ruoyin could tell that this request was not very kind.

But what is the purpose of Baotai?

Because he has surrendered to the fourth master, so he is trying to figure out what the fourth master is thinking, is he deliberately making things difficult for Mr. Shu?

In the Qing Dynasty, anyone who was a Manchu could practice martial arts.

This is why the third master focused on literature, but never neglected martial arts.

Moreover, from the bottom of their hearts, they look down on that kind of frail scholar.

Thinking that the world was ruled by them, literati know how to chew on words and show off literature.

Anyway, among those officials, there is a chain of contempt.

Those who are capable of civil and military skills despise warriors or civil servants.

Military officers despise civil servants, and civil servants become the lowest level.

Xu Yuanmeng, the prince's teacher back then, suffered from not knowing martial arts at all.

In Xiyuan Yingtai, the princes of the Emperor Kangxi were shooting arrows, and Xu Yuanmeng, as the prince's teacher, went together.

Although Xu Yuanmeng was one of the Eight Banners disciples, he was a pure civil servant, he didn't even wear a finger puller, and he didn't know anything about riding and shooting.

He couldn't even lift a bow and arrow, and was severely insulted and scolded by Kangxi in front of the princes.

After all, Manchu people are all martial arts practitioners, so it is necessary to establish a correct direction.

As a result, Xu Yuanmeng was a proud literati, and was finally punished and ransacked his home.

Since then, although he was still teaching in the palace, no one looked up to him anymore, and he was often insulted by the royal family.

Now, in Ruoyin's opinion, a counselor like Mr. Shu has less physical strength than Xu Yuanmeng.

Because he is completely a sickly body, a person who coughs up blood when he walks, what is he talking about practicing martial arts and archery?

Today, whether he agrees or not, he will be embarrassed.

If you don't agree, everyone will despise him without watching him shoot arrows.

If you agree, it will be even more embarrassing.

If you can't even lift a bow and arrow, it will make people laugh out loud.

In addition, today they are all relatives of the emperor, in order to establish the correct direction for the Manchus to practice martial arts, Kangxi might say a few words about Mr. Shu.

Then, the consequences are even more embarrassing.

Mr. Shu's good reputation before will also fall to the bottom at this moment.

Thinking of this, Ruoyin glanced at Baotai.

Tsk tsk tsk, when men become ruthless, women are not as good at all.

This Baotai, always wearing a silver-white brocade robe, seemed indifferent to the world, as indifferent as an exile.

It turned out that it was all false.

After all, in the royal family, no matter how a man is like an exile, the city is unpredictable.

Just when Ruoyin thought that Mr. Shu would refuse Baotai's proposal because of his illness, Mr. Shu stood up.

He bowed his hands to Kangxi who was at the head and said: "Your Majesty, although I am a Han Chinese, I have always admired the good inheritance of Manchu martial arts. Since I am in the capital, I will do as the Romans do and make a fool of myself here."

Hearing this, Ruoyin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Mr. Shu's voice was so deep that it made one's scalp tingle.

It was that lifeless voice.

She originally thought that he would refuse, after all, she used illness as an excuse, but it turned out that she didn't embarrass herself to embarrass herself.

I can hear Mr. Shu's meaning...do you want to give it a try?

Mr. Shu left his seat and walked out with the support of the guards.

Looking at this sickly body, Ruoyin really couldn't bear it.

How can you shoot arrows when you walk shaky and are so weak?

I saw Mr. Shu took the bow and arrow, using the most basic side-stand, ready to shoot.

This posture is relatively conservative.

Because it will not twist the body too much, it is generally more suitable for beginners and women.

With such a posture, many people at the banquet showed mocking smiles.

After Mr. Shu fired three arrows, the ridicule on everyone's faces disappeared.

"Mr. Shu hit the bull's-eye with one shot, and the second shot was good." Liang Jiugong reported in a high voice.

Then, Mr. Shu entered the hall and bowed to Kangxi, "I'm showing my ugliness."

"Yes, your results have exceeded my expectations. I can't see that you can still hit the bull's-eye while dragging your sick body."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Shu covered his mouth and began to cough.

Seeing this, Kangxi said: "You have never been in good health, you must have stretched your muscles and bones just now, please sit down and rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saluting, Mr. Shu sat down with the support of the guards.

Ruoyin always felt that this scene was too unreal.

Mr. Shu is hiding his secrets, no wonder he is willing to come forward.

This result was actually a little better than the humble fourth master.

Not bad by any means, but not great either.

Moreover, Ruoyin always felt that Mr. Shu, like fourth master, hid his real edge.

Otherwise, the result might have been better.

Before Ruoyin could think about it, she felt an inexplicable chill coming from her side.

Turning his head and looking again, he saw fourth master sitting beside him, silent and stern as ice.

The bridge of the nose is straight, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and the facial expression looks a little tense.

An inexplicable chill radiated from his body, igniting the air around him.

Ruoyin twitched the corners of her mouth. It turned out that it was this "big human-shaped ice cube". She said how could she suddenly shudder on such a hot day.
