"Hey, this Liang Shao is really blind. For the sake of a powerless village girl, he actually ignored the emperor's marriage!"
"Who says it's not, Princess Anping has talent and looks, and she has a father and emperor who loves her. When she married her, the sky rose instantly, and the business was a steady profit without loss. But there are people who don't know the blessings in the blessings."
"I can't say that. It's not that Princess Anping is too fragile to be pregnant and have children—"
"A man with three wives and four concubines is afraid of not having children?"
The chatter of the crowd, accompanied by ridicule, spread to Liang Shao's ears little by little. He smiled stiffly, but blue veins burst out on his forehead. With a "slap", Liang Shao held the His chopsticks were folded in two, and no one heard this slight sound except Chen Bing'er beside him.
When Chen Bing'er heard the sound, her face turned pale instantly. She clearly knew that Liang Shao regretted a little - no, no, she would not allow such a thing to happen!
Her heart was filled with grief and anger, but Chen Bing'er's face did not show the slightest trace. No one noticed the clenched fist in her sleeve, and her fingernails had already scratched blood from her palm.
Liang Shao didn't notice anything unusual about Chen Bing'er either. He was deeply immersed in regret and unwillingness. He became famous at a young age, held a high official position, and was given a marriage by the emperor. , how has everything changed
Princess Anping was originally Liang Shao's fiancée, and those surprises and congratulations should also belong to Liang Shao!
In the lively noise, Liang Shao suddenly stood up, bowed his hands to Xie Fei, and said loudly: "I have heard that Xie Shizi is both civil and military, and no one can match it. I wonder if there is a chance for Liang to see it today?"
As soon as this remark came out, the whole garden was quiet, and everyone's expressions changed. Although Xie Shizi was talented and learned five cars, but looking at his gentle and weak appearance, how can he say that he can't say that he can't be both literate and martial arts
Xie Fei turned to look at Liang Shao, and said lightly: "You can see if you want, but it depends on what price you can pay."
Liang Shao frowned and remembered that he was born in a merchant, and his background is actually nothing. In the past few years, he has been marching and fighting, and he has nothing to do. However, after winning the battle last time, he really found a few famous paintings. He opened his mouth and said, "I heard that Xie Shizi is obsessed with landscapes, and someone in Liang has a piece of "Landscape and Qiu Ming Ink Painting" in his hand. I wonder if he can invite the prince to have a contest with him?"
Xie Fei lowered his head and took a sip of fine wine, nodded after pondering for a moment and asked, "How do you want to compare?"
Liang Shao had a happy expression on his face. This Xie Fei was really arrogant and dared to let himself choose the way of the game. Well, he must take this opportunity to frustrate his spirit and let Princess Anping and those who mocked him see, he Liang Shao is by no means a useless person like Xie Fei who has no power to restrain chickens!
Thinking of this, he looked around and saw the bows and arrows and targets in the distance, and smiled slightly: "It happens that there are bows and arrows at the banquet, we might as well come and see, who can shoot more arrows with bows and arrows. Far, more accurate, what does the prince think?"
When the words fell, everyone was quiet, and everyone looked at Liang Shao with contempt. They really didn't expect that Liang Shao, who looked bright and upright, had such a sinister intention - Xie Shizi was good at writing, how could he be better than Arrow The superb Liang Shao, he used his own strengths to attack his son's shortcomings, which is really shameless!
"Shang Ke." Xie Fei raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled lightly, "This son will play with Liang Shilang and chat as a pastime." After speaking, Xie Fei raised his brocade robes with both hands and was about to get up. The fair-skinned hands grabbed his sleeves, and he turned his head to look at Shang Xiwen's worried eyes.
"Sir..." Xiwen half-bites her lower lip and hesitates.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Xie Fei comforted softly.
Xi Wen pursed her lips, hesitated for a while under Xie Fei's firm and gentle gaze, then nodded, and slowly loosened the hands that held Xie Fei's sleeves.
The people quickly prepared the arrow targets in the courtyard. The first arrow target was 20 meters away from the starting point. After that, each arrow target was increased by 20 meters in turn, and the last arrow target was lined up 200 meters away. .
When Xie Fei and Liang Shao arrived at the scene, everyone also got up and consciously gathered around the two to join in the fun, leaving only Tang You and a few people around the table mysteriously fiddling with a simple gambling table.
Chen Yuyan first took out three 100 taels of silver bills from her arms, slapped it to the left of the table, and said, "I bet Brother Fei to win!" After speaking, she looked at Tang You.
Tang You fumbled in his purse for a long time, finally took out a few pieces of fine silver, and threw it to the left very boldly: "I also bet on Brother Fei to win, I believe that with his insidiousness and cunning, he will definitely win the opponent's company. No pants left!"
Chen Yuyan looked at the pieces of silver with disgust: "Just this piece of silver, what are you betting on?"
Tang You squinted at Chen Yuyan and said unconvinced, "Broken silver is also silver, so why can't you bet?" After speaking, he looked at the rest of the group and urged, "Hurry up, we still have money before the game starts. Going to piss people off."
The few looked at each other and said in unison, "We also bet Brother Fei!"
If you lose, it's just a little bit of money, you can't lose your brother's loyalty, you must save face for Brother Fei! win? nonexistent.
After the betting, a few people immediately took the gambling table and mixed into the crowd. Under the bombardment, basically all of them participated. As expected by Tang You and the others, most of them bet on Liang Shao to win. The little half bet on Xiefei, except for the few of them who really believe that Feige will win, the others are all for the relationship with Xiefei Lala.
Xie Fei and Liang Shao didn't know what was going on outside. After the two became familiar with bows and arrows, they started the official competition.
Liang Shao smiled confidently, took the bow and arrow and stood first in the center, holding the bow in one hand, holding the arrow in the other, and stretched his arms vigorously.
He frowned in dissatisfaction. Before everyone could applaud, Liang Shao stretched out his arms and pulled the bow again. He used his index finger slightly, only to hear a swooshing sound. Everyone didn't pay attention. The red heart of the tenth target!
All the onlookers were stunned, and Tang You and Chen Yuyan were also surprised. This Liang Shao had a bad character, but he didn't think his archery skills were really good.
The young ladies who were watching became worried, and said in a vain manner: "Oh, I don't know if Xie Shizi's archery is good or not, I don't want to see the proud face of that village girl!"
"No one has seen Xie Shizi shoot arrows on weekdays, nor has he heard rumors that his archery skills are very good. I think he is not as good as Master Liang."
"Yes, Xie Shizi is famous for his talent. I'm afraid he is not good at archery, right?"
"I heard that Mr. Liang's archery skills can penetrate Yang at a hundred paces, and Xie Shizi can't match it..."
When Xiwen heard the talk of the young ladies around her, her heart instantly rose. She nervously squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and silently prayed for Xie Fei in her heart.
Here Liang Shao smiled with satisfaction, he raised his eyebrows, very confident that Xie Fei could not surpass him, because he had practiced archery since he was a child, and Xie Fei might not even hold the bow and arrow stably.
Thinking like this, he looked at Xie Fei proudly and said, "Xie Shizi, it's your turn."
Xie Fei took the bow and arrow handed over by the man next to him, with a light-hearted look, he gently pulled the bowstring and let it go, the arrow flashed an arc, and plunged into Liang Shao's tenth target. The arrow, like a broken bamboo, directly destroyed the arrow and steadily shot into the red heart of the target.
For a time, everyone was stunned, and after a while, someone exclaimed and clapped, and then the whole courtyard broke out with enthusiastic applause, Xiwen involuntarily clapped her hands, her eyes shone brightly.
Tang You was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Brother Fei... When did you get so fierce? I can't be blind, right?"
Chen Yuyan was shocked to say something wrong, and stammered: "No, I don't know, Fei, brother Fei is hidden."
Amidst the exclamations, Liang Shao's face was extremely ugly. He never expected the result to be like this. He originally wanted to make a name for himself, but who knew that it became a stepping stone to Xie Fei's fame! No, he must not just admit defeat, otherwise he will become the latest joke in the whole capital before tomorrow.
At this moment, Liang Shao dazzled and saw a servant carrying a new archery target towards the tenth path, his mind flashed, and he said, "Xie Shizi is indeed superb at archery, but Liang is better at shooting moving targets. …”
Before he finished speaking, Xie Fei took the bow and arrow from the man's hand, pulled the bowstring, swish, swish, swish, and fired five arrows in a row. In the arrow target carried by the next person, the root is in the center of the red heart, and there is no false hair.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the next moment, the exclamation burst out like a flood: "Oh my God, what did I see, even a hundred steps through Yang can't describe the eleven or two of Xie Shizi's archery!"
"It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"I really didn't expect the gentle and polite Xie Shizi to have such amazing archery skills, and he has to be admirable!"
Xie Fei turned a deaf ear to everyone's admiration. He turned around to look at Liang Shao indifferently, and said lightly, "Is that so?"
Liang Shao's face turned gloomy in an instant, and his shaking muscles could no longer hold a smile. He forced himself to smile calmly: "Xie Shizi really has both civil and military skills, and Liang is willing to give in."
Xie Fei nodded, put down the bow and arrow and turned to leave. The airless crowd spontaneously gave way. Siwen, who was standing in the crowd, was already stunned, staring at Xie Fei with a fixed pair of eyes. She still looked like the handsome and graceful young gentleman, but her heart was even more flustered.
Xiwen was still in a daze. Xie Fei had already walked in front of her. Seeing an abnormal flush on her little face, he touched her lightly and said, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Xiwen was startled and said quickly, "No, no, I'm just too excited." She lowered her head and whispered, "The prince's archery skills are so amazing, I'm stunned."
Xie Fei smiled and didn't speak. He took Xiwen back to his seat. The others also talked excitedly and slowly returned to their seats. Only Liang Shao, who was pale, clenched his teeth tightly, sat stiffly. As soon as the fist on his lap could not be slammed on the table.
