Chapter 51: Bow

Chapter 51—Bending bow
When the Yingying team walked to the door of Liujia, the sky was already bright. There are already many people waiting at the gate, and Zhang Xiaohua took the horse to the crowd, and it stopped. When Zhang Xiaolong turned over, Zhang Xiaohua handed the horse's reins to the Liu family.
Everyone gave Zhang Xiaolong a hand: "Gongle officer, congratulations." Zhang Xiaolong is also happy to give back to everyone, then everyone has given up a road, Zhang Xiaohua looked up and saw a wooden shelf next to the door. Put a bow on top of the shelf. This is the rule of the country. The first thing the groom marries is to shoot three arrows at the bride's gate, which means that all the evil spirits are driven away. In the past, when they were married to other people, they also saw it. However, at this time, Zhang Xiaolong’s arm injury is good, and the work in the field is still a problem. How can I pull the bow and shoot?
It seems that this matter can only be done by the best man Zhang Xiaohua. However, Zhang Xiaohua’s 12-year-old child, let him pull this bow and arrow, is too far-fetched, and everyone has some face to face. When Zhang Xiaolong thought about it, he went forward and prepared to get the bow. Zhang Xiaohua was in a hurry. He quickly grabbed the big brother and said, "Big brother, your arm is just right. How can you pull this thing? If there is any damage, is it not to give up, or let me come."
Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it is to open the archery. I still have this strength. You are still young. How can you open the bow and archery?"
Zhang Xiaohua also smiled and said: "Big brother, you can just smack me. I can open the fields and cultivate the land myself. How can I have no strength? Let me try it. If I don't, you will come again, we will not It’s a loss of face, are you saying?

Zhang Xiaolong thought too. Anyway, the best man was doing things for the groom when he was married. The small flowers could not be opened. Then he had to go on himself. It is estimated that Mr. Liu knows that his arm is not good enough. The shelf should be a soft bow. , you don't have to use too much force to pull it apart.
Just watching Zhang Xiaohua walked to the shelf and took the big bow from the shelf as tall as himself. It felt very heavy. He didn’t pull the bow and arrow, thinking that all the bows were heavy and there was no Carefully, then, from the shelf, pick up an arrow without an arrow, put it on the bow, and ask Zhang Xiaolong: "Big brother, where to shoot?"
Zhang Xiaolong pointed to the sky outside the village and said, "That side."
Zhang Xiaohua promised to learn how to look at people before, and took a horse step. Then, against the sky, he pulled up the bowstring. However, the bowstring was very tight, and Zhang Xiaohua pulled about three points. When he was full, he couldn’t move. He couldn’t help but blush. He said that he let go of his hand and shot the arrow out, but he shot the bow for the first time, and he used to look at other people’s eyes. I thought that I had to open it completely, so he took a deep breath and both arms were strong. If he felt that he had a strong force and gave birth from his arm, he shouted and the bow was immediately pulled. Full moon, he looked at the morning glow outside the village with confidence. He loosened the tight bowstring. The arrow flew out like a meteor. He looked at the arrow that was far away, Zhang Xiaohua’s heart. There is a sense of pleasure.
The remaining two arrows, Zhang Xiaohua, were processed in the same way. They shot them far away from Baligou. When the three arrows were shot, Zhang Xiaohua felt his arms sour, and some could not lift them. They could not put the bow on the shelf. At this time, everyone Applause and praise Zhang Xiaohua's strength, only Zhang Xiaolong saw the anomaly, he quickly went to Zhang Xiaohua's face, took the bow, ready to put it on the shelf, but unexpectedly sinking in the hand, and quickly made a little effort, just caught Zhang Xiaolong’s heart is very surprised. How is this soft bow so heavy? However, at this time, everyone has been surrounded, and he is not allowed to put the bow on the shelf after careful thought. He is surrounded by the crowd and walks into the Liu family compound, leaving only the bow alone on the shelf.
Just as Zhang Xiaolong was surrounded by the Liu Family Courtyard, the Zhang Orion at the north end of Baligou was packing up and preparing for hunting. He walked into the hut where he put the bow and arrow. After a while, he rushed out and asked his wife: "Where is the baby, where is the bow on the shelf?"
His wife said strangely: "Which bow? How do I know that I never entered the hut."
Zhang’s hunter was anxious and said:
It’s the five-stone bow that my ancestors passed down. It’s placed on the top shelf on the right. I saw it the day before yesterday. I’m gone today, it’s hard to be a thief at home yesterday. Already?"
His mother-in-law had originally rehabilitated breakfast on the stove. When she suddenly remembered something, she hurried out and said, "I remembered it. The child was awkward. Mr. Liu, who taught yesterday, came to borrow a soft bow, presumably. I used it for my son-in-law today, I was afraid that I couldn’t open it. I was deliberately asking for it. At the time, I was packing clothes for my children, so I asked the people to pick them up. I remember you said that there is a mouth on the shelf and you are doing it yourself. I told him."
Zhang Orion asked: "When the family took it out, did you see it?"
His mother-in-law said shyly: "It was told to me, but it wasn't what you were doing, I didn't bother to look at it, let him take it away."
Zhang Orion immediately yelled: "You are a bad girl, borrowing things is not good to see, people take away their ancestral things, you are still lazy to look at it, and Mr. Liu has always been very good to us. Well, the children in our village are all called by him. There are definitely reasons for people to borrow soft bows. You are good, and you have given a bow that has not been opened for more than a decade. This is not a special purpose to cut people's face. Waiting for me to come back and see how to pack you up."
After that, Zhang Orion rushed out in a hurry. When he ran to the Liujia Gate, Zhang Xiaolong and others had already entered the yard. On the shelf at the door, there was a strong bow of his ancestral ancestors. In his opinion, it was definitely not pulled out and lost. Face, this was thrown there. At this time, I just saw someone at the door of Liu’s house sneak a head. He felt like: "Liu Saner, I’m talking to Mr. Liu, I took the bow and arrow."
The person inside said, "Okay, I know."
Zhang Orion quickly took the bow and hugged it in his arms. He walked away in a hurry, and he was afraid that people would stop him and scold him for taking a bow that no one could open. He didn’t have anything in his heart. Notice that the three arrows that should be placed on the shelf without arrows have disappeared.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong has been accompanied by Zhang Xiaohua and went to the front of Liu Qian’s mortuary. According to the rules of the village, the bridegroom wants to let the bride open the door. He must answer the questions raised by the bride. Only when the answer is satisfactory, can the door be opened. In fact, most of the questions raised are bridesmaids and other people, the bride can not make it difficult for their future pillows. Zhang Xiaolong is also facing this problem now. Mr. Liu has always been a poetry book, and most of the courtyards are literati. There is no one who knows martial arts. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohua’s shocking three arrows will not be seen by anyone. Although Mr. Liu also told his friends and students in advance that his son-in-law is a mud-legged person, don’t be too embarrassed about him. However, to be honest, Mr. Liu’s smart and virtuous daughter is not one or two. Today Actually being taken away by someone who is not in his own circle, there are really a few hearts in this guest. However, in the face of Mr. Liu, of course, it is obvious that there are a few good people who wonder how The bride’s problem is difficult for Zhang Xiaolong. Liu Yueyue is of course Liu Qian’s bridesmaid. This girl has always been a master who is not afraid of things, and her work is never too big. This is not the first question: let Zhang Xiaolong write a few words. Show calligraphy.
When this problem came out, Liu Qian in the boudoir sneered at Liu Yueyue and asked: "Who is this idea? Why don't you tell me?"
Liu Yueyue said with a sigh of relief: "Sister, it’s just a group of people outside. I’m going to sweep my brother-in-law’s face. It’s okay, so I’ll urge him to learn calligraphy well later. What do you say?

This Liu Qian smiled in the heart, what can I say? Your question has come out, can I take it back? Oh, I just don’t know if Xiaolong will blame me later.
Mr. Liu in the hall is also a bit ugly on the face. This is obviously ugly to his son-in-law. However, the marriage is a lively excitement. You can’t blame it for any trouble, or how to deal with Zhang Xiaolong, you can’t write it. Nothing, anyway, it was a farmer.
Zhang Xiaolong’s brother’s face is also very weird. I’m afraid of what’s coming. Zhang Xiaolong’s heart sighed and walked forward, preparing to write a few to deal with it. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua once again dragged the big brother’s arm and said: Don't worry, big brother, let me try."
"You, can you do it?" Zhang Xiaolong has some doubts.
Zhang Xiaohua patted his hand and said, "I still can't do that, I will come again."
Zhang Xiaohua stepped forward and said to everyone: "You, the old saying, my brother's arm is not well hurt, this word is still written by me."
After that, he walked over to the paved ink and paper, bowed his head and meditated for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He looked up and said, "You, today, you don't need this ink to smash."
Everyone wondered: "What use?"
Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Is there a ready-made mop? I am using a mop to write a few big characters today."
"Mop? How do you write?" Someone asked strangely. During the conversation, someone had taken the mop over. Zhang Xiaohua found a pot, poured the polished ink into the pot, put the mop into the pot, dipped it, and held the handle of the mop in both hands. Fine brewing, pick up the mop and write two big characters in the dragon and phoenix dance on the bluestone board of Mr. Liu's compound: "缥缈".
These two words are written in antique, elegant and full of charm, Zhang Xiaohua's temperament, so that the onlookers are stunned. Mr. Liu in the hall listened to the outside, suddenly silent, and came out of the hall, waiting for him to see the two words on the bluestone board, did not speak, the fine taste, actually idiot.
Speaking of the words "缥缈", this is the word on the token. After Zhang Xiaohua asked the person to recognize it, he would simulate more than once in his heart, taste, practice how to write, other words, such as: Zhang Xiaohua, He can't write it anyway, and these two words have been deeply imprinted into his heart like a seal. Naturally, it is a slap in the face. Of course, it is certainly ridiculous to write a brush-written word based on his level of not entering school. And using the mop to write this stuff, naturally you don't have to mind things like tactics.
