After the short autumn hunt, the carnival holiday has finally come to an end. Everyone returned to their original tracks and resumed their daily lives.
Shen Zhuo and the others changed their habit of skipping classes and reported to Mingshan Academy on time every day, and the riding and archery classes were never missed. The masters in the academy all felt very relieved.
"Jingyi, you can't hold the bow like this." Lu Waner corrected Zhang Jingyi's posture with her hands.
The other four people were sitting leisurely in the shade not far away, chatting.
Xiao Yushu leaned against the tree trunk and said boredly: "Jingyi is not born to practice martial arts, right? Wan'er has been teaching her for half an hour."
Meng Qinglian peeled off a grape and threw it into her mouth, and said lazily: "In that place in Mobei, the sky is filled with yellow sand and the sun is very poisonous. Once the skin is injured, no amount of makeup can repair it. How can she feel fine?"
Xiao Yushu mocked Meng Qinglian with disdain and said, "What do you know?" Then, she shook her head and said, "This is 'there is a beauty, you will never forget it when you see it, but if you don't see it for a day, you practice arrows like crazy'."
"Pfft", Shen Zhuo laughed out loud.
Several people joked without lowering their voices, so Zhang Jingyi came over with a bow and arrow.
Wen Mingyun also covered her mouth and laughed: "Jingyi, you don't have to be so crazy about me. I heard that General Wei has recovered from his injuries. He will probably be able to see him soon. After all, he is his savior. Why don't you agree with me?"
"See if I don't tear your mouths apart." Zhang Jingyi threw her bow and rushed towards Xiao Yushu.
Xiao Yushu ran away.
For a while, several people were laughing and joking beside the training ground.
Wen Mingyun's words became a prophecy.
One day later, they all received invitations from the Duke of Wei's mansion. The Duke's wife hosted a banquet for them in Guanshan Tower. Mingshan Academy has one day off every ten days, and the banquet will be held on the Academy holiday four days later.
Guanshanlou is the largest restaurant in Mobei, and this one in Kyoto is their branch. In the name of the Duke's wife, Wei Ziyuan wants to treat everyone to the most authentic Mobei cuisine.
On the day of the holiday, several people made an appointment to go to Guanshan Tower early. The Duke of Wei's mansion was also very generous and reserved Guanshan Tower for a whole day specifically for entertaining guests.
When Shen Zhuo and others arrived, Wei Guogong's wife had not arrived yet. The shopkeeper personally led several people to the most luxurious private room, and asked the waiter to bring fresh fruits and various snacks for them to taste.
"Jingyi, when did you get so bold? You dared to pull off General Wei's clothes at once." Lu Waner said while making a "swish" motion to pull off the clothes.
Zhang Jingyi's face turned red for a moment, even her ears were red. She still forced herself to calm down and said, "Well, what's the matter?"
"Don't pull his clothes off, I, I used to watch him take a bath naked when I was a kid."
"He didn't look like this when he was a child. He has a big head and a small body. His body is full of bones, just like a big carrot head."
Wei Ziyuan, who was outside the house, stumbled suddenly and stopped when he was about to push the door open. He felt that maybe it would be better to wait a moment before going in.
Mrs. Wei Guogong looked at her son jokingly. Seeing Wei Ziyuan's embarrassed face, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. It turns out that the little girl who chased Zi Yuan every day has grown so big.
Jiang Yan, who was following him, secretly glanced at his general. The general claimed to be a good-looking man, but he didn't seem to have a big head and a small body? Or do you mean that it only grows neatly when you grow up?
Zhang Jingyi's words make people think endlessly, but in fact, they are just the tragic experience of a seven-year-old boy who was forced to take care of a three-year-old girl.
The so-called watching him take a bath naked is just that after every practice, his master would shower him with cold water in the martial arts arena to strengthen his muscles and bones, and the three-year-old little crybaby would always follow him.
Wei Ziyuan really felt that he had no choice but to argue.
As soon as Mrs. Wei Guogong came in, several girls fell silent on the spot and sat upright, polite and courteous, with the elegance of a noble lady from an aristocratic family, without even half of the hip-hop look just now.
Jiang Yan was speechless. Mrs. Wei Guogong was not surprised and greeted the girls with a smile.
Mrs. Wei Guogong gave everyone a gift box, which contained rare and precious jewelry. Mrs. Wei Guogong is a quiet and gentle woman who is very kind to people.
"Several ladies saved Ziyuan's life, and they should have held a grand banquet at the Duke's Mansion for a few days to express their gratitude. However, the person behind the scenes has not been found yet, and they are so public that they are worried that they will implicate several ladies. When the truth comes out in the future, I will thank you again."
The dishes at today's banquet were personally ordered by Wei Ziyuan. They were all the most authentic delicacies from Mobei. The wine was specially sent back from Mobei by him, which shows his sincerity. He found out that these little girls loved to go to the theater, so he invited the Yuyuan Troupe to sing in the opera.
Mrs. Wei Guogong was afraid that she would detain a few girls if she was present. After the banquet, she found an excuse to rest in a nearby room.
What Yuyuan sang today was their most popular song "Fox Demon Repays a Kindness". Lu Waner and others listened with gusto, but Shen Zhuo was the only one who was not interested.
Shen Zhuo felt uneasy. Wei Qian returned to Dasu, before she reached the age of 18, and it was no different from her previous life. Shen Zhuo felt faintly panicked, as if no matter what happened in this life, he would always turn back to his original position.
But in front of her, the jade trees looming in the wind, and the energetic Wei Ziyuan gave her a glimmer of hope. Han Mei is fine, Wei Ziyuan is fine too, maybe everything will be fine after all.
Shen Zhuo's eyes swept across the crowd aimlessly. When she saw Zhang Jingyi's smile, her heart sank. Zhang Jingyi and Wei Ziyuan in the previous life had nothing to do with each other. In this life, although Zhang Jingyi saved Wei Ziyuan, it is impossible for Wei Ziyuan and the prince to be on good terms... What should we do?
Shen Zhuo had complicated thoughts. She leaned against the window lattice, listening to the babbling opera sounds in the lobby. Suddenly a familiar voice came from the window.
"Hey, this little brother, I think you have a plump heavenly body and wonderful bones. You will become a great person in the future. Come on, come on, you go to the nursing home with me first..."
"Oh, don't run away. The nursing home is in charge of the food~~~~~"
Shen Zhuo's eyelids twitched twice. She opened the window and saw that it was indeed Qing Xuzi.
Qing Xuzi was running behind a few beggars holding a fortune-telling cloth banner.
