In the midst of the tranquility, An Zichang slowly raised his hands and clapped his hands.

"Awesome, awesome, much better than the two so-called top picks like us. It turns out that she is really a woman who cannot be compared to other women!...Haha!" An Zichang laughed and glanced at Mu Hou.

Mu Hou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He clenched his hands into fists and was breathing heavily. His big copper bell-like eyes stared at Du Hengshuang, as if he couldn't believe the three arrows he just saw.

Even their Anxi men, who are brave and good at fighting, don't have such easy archery skills.

An Zichang became more and more angry, "Mu Hou, now you know what is the meaning of heaven and earth, right? Archery requires talent. Without talent, you can become an archer just by practicing hard, but

I will never become a master archer. And I made an oath in front of the Buddha that I will marry a woman who is skilled in archery and can reach the gods in this life. You see, I can't break the oath. If I break the oath, I will be sent by heaven..."

Xu Shao heard something was wrong, so he leaned into Mu Hou's ear and said: "That is the daughter brought by my step-wife. She has been engaged since she was a child. Xiao Shiji, who came with the second son of Prince Qi today, is her fiancée."

—Right over there.”

Mu Hou's face brightened slightly.

She turns out to be an engaged woman, and her fiancé is right in front of her. I want to see how you can get away with it.

"Haha, that's really unfortunate. This young lady with great archery skills is already married to a famous woman. Well, her fiancé is standing over there. Are you going to ask her if she wants to part with you? Ah,

Hahahaha..." Mu Hou laughed loudly, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.

Mu Yege couldn't hold his breath. He strode over and asked, "Father, what are you talking about? What about archery that can lead to the gods and famous flowers have owners?" As he spoke, he gave Du Hengshuang a fierce look.

Du Hengshuang's heart sank, and he handed the long bow in his hand to the servant of the Muhou family, stood next to Xiao Shiji, and kept stroking the jasper finger on his thumb with one hand.

An Zichang pretended to come over and said to Xiao Shiji: "Master Xiao, just now Marquis Mu asked you if you are willing to give up your love. I also want to ask a question. I made an oath in front of the Buddha that I will marry a god of archery.

The woman. Just now

He also made a bet with Mu Hou that whichever woman can ejaculate the most apples today will be my wife An Zichang in this life. Look..." He kept looking at Xiao Shi and Du Hengshuang beside him, but there was a feeling in his eyes.

The meaning of promoting narrowness.

Du Hengshuang knew what he was doing just now, but now she found out what he was planning, and she felt angry for a moment. This man really didn't know the importance of things! He could make any kind of joke, and he could easily take advantage of a woman's reputation.

Betting on it?

Du Hengshuang didn't think that An Zichang really took a fancy to her. He was the kind of person who had a lot of troubles and had no plans to start a family. The so-called marrying a woman with archery skills was just an excuse to block Mu Hou.

But he should never, never should. He shouldn't involve himself in this.

"How is it? Mr. Xiao, can you give up your love? - You haven't spoken a word. Could it be that you are angry?" An Zichang asked again lazily.

"Brother An has always been polite to women, but today he looks at Sister Du differently. Is it because you live in the same house and have been in love for a long time?" Mu Yelai pulled Du Hengxue over, looking curious.

Look at An Zichang, and then look at Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang's face turned white. He wanted to defend himself, but he was worried that the more he spoke, the more trouble he would make. Instead, he made a trivial matter serious. It was not good to make Xiao Shiji suspicious, so he had to press his lips tightly and stand aside.

Don't speak.

Xiao Shiji slowly raised his arm, and also cupped his hand towards An Zichang, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so kind. Mr. An did this because he looked down upon me. It's too late for me to be happy, so how can I be angry? It's just something else.

, if Young Master An falls in love with her, I will definitely offer it to you with both hands. But Shuang'er is different, she is my unmarried daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. - Young Master An is a step too late, I can only wait for the next life to see if you have such luck.

."

After all, it was because he was young and energetic, so he was not saving face for An Zichang. Xu Shao shook his head secretly, thinking about how to appease the angry An Zichang.

Unexpectedly, An Zichang was not angry at all. He laughed and said to Mu Hou: "It's really too late. There's nothing we can do about it. Mu Hou, it's not that I don't want to marry him, but she is already a married woman. I can't force her anymore."

, to avoid being said that I am bullying others."

When the conversation changed, An Zichang said again: "Marquis Mu, you know that I hate to use my power to force couples to separate. At that time, Emperor Dezhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty tried to grant a marriage to my An Guohou Mansion, and his family was destroyed.

The wanted widow princess is given to

My father forced my mother to die. In a rage, I killed the emperor who liked to grant marriages, and the shameless princess who was greedy for other people's husbands. - Mu Hou, you don't know that all forced

None of mine ended well."

Mu Hou was suffocated and hurriedly laughed and said, "Of course not, of course not. Since she is already engaged, there is no need to think about it. Besides, you, Marshal An, have a high position of power and a romantic personality, so you are afraid of finding someone."

Can’t you marry a second woman whose archery skills can reach the gods? I’m afraid that after today, all the young ladies in Luoyang City will be vying to learn archery. Hahahaha..."

The matter was settled in a few words.

Everyone started laughing and having fun.

Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shiji quietly and saw that he was also smiling, but the smile did not enter his eyes.

Mu Yelai also saw Xiao Shiji's expression clearly, and he was convinced that this first move was a mistake, and the effect was better than he expected. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately thought of the second strategy.

.

She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and quickly let Xiao Shiji notice her existence. After all, she had a greater advantage than Du Hengshuang in resurrecting her life.

Mu Yelai quietly took two steps back, gave two instructions to the servants beside him, and left the grassland.

Soon, servants came over to clean up the archery targets, rearrange tables and chairs, and eat.

After the archery competition, it's time for singing and dancing.

Generally, aristocratic families have their own kabuki and rehearse various new songs and dances. And in Dazhou, everyone from the nobles in the palace to the young ladies in the boudoir have a special liking for dancing. They can sing and dance for relatives and friends.

Adding to the fun is not a despicable behavior. Rather, it can be regarded as part of De Rong Yan Gong, just like needlework poetry.

I just don’t know why Du Hengshuang in the previous life was so resistant to dancing. He always said that dancing was done by low-ranking people who had no place on the stage. This scolding even included the queen and concubines in the palace, which made Xiao Shiji

I used to be very puzzled.

The second trick that Mu Yelai carefully prepared was to dance, Hu Xuanwu. This was her specialty, and it was also the trump card that finally impressed Xiao Shiji and let her in.

Mu Yelai dressed up for Hu Xuan dance and was in a good mood.

Finally, she can take the lead.

Emotionally, her biggest regret was that she came to Xiao Shiji too late. More than ten years later, she learned that Xiao Shiji loved watching Hu Xuan dance the most and also admired women's archery the most.

That year, she tried hard to pursue Xiao Shi but failed, feeling depressed, and entertained herself by dancing the Hu Xuan dance under the moonlight. She was originally a girl from Anxi, and the Hu Xuan dance was developed from them. To say that at that time,

In Chang'an, she, Mu Ye, came second in the Hu Xuan dance. No one ranked her first. It was the Hu Xuan dance under the moonlight that really made her fall into Xiao Shiji's heart. It didn't take long before he accepted her into his house...

…

Today, let Xiao Shiji realize his own right now, instead of waiting ten years later...

Everyone sat cross-legged on the lawn, chatting with each other, drinking and drinking, waiting to watch the song and dance carefully prepared by Muhou Mansion.

An Zichang had said harsh words just now. Mu Hou did not dare to pester him anymore and arranged for him to sit and eat and drink with Qi Yizhi, the second son of the King of Qi, and Xu Shao, the Grand Sima of Luoyang.

Xiao Shiji was still sitting next to Du Hengshuang, but he spoke much less than before.

Du Hengshuang was uneasy. Knowing this incident, it probably still created a estrangement in his heart. Thinking of An Zichang who had brought her such disaster, Du Hengshuang couldn't help but gouge out An Zichang's eyes.

An Zichang seemed to be sizing her up silently. Seeing the roll of her eyes, An Zichang smiled instead, raised his glass, bowed it to her, and then raised his head to drink.

Du Hengshuang blushed with anger.

Although Xiao Shiji did not look at Du Hengshuang, every move she made fell in his eyes.

No man can be indifferent to what happened just now, unless he doesn't love his woman at all.

Although Xiao Shiji was angry, he was not angry with Du Hengshuang. He was just angry with An Zichang. - Why is it so hard to make a joke, and it has to involve such honorable matters. It seems that what his father said before was wrong.

. If you want a harmonious family, you must pursue power. Only with great power can you protect your family, wife and children.

There were so many young ladies present today, why did An Zichang just make fun of Du Hengshuang? Isn't it just that he picked on the weak and saw that she was an orphan without a father and brother, and bullied her, and all she could do was knock out her teeth and swallow her blood.

Knowing that she is his fiancée, yet he dares to ask himself whether to renounce his love. Isn't he just a white lady? He is not as good as An Zichang, the hereditary Marquis of An Guo, and the pioneer generalissimo personally named by the King of Qi!

Xiao Shiji held the wine glass in his hand tightly, knowing that he could no longer hesitate. He needed power, meritorious service, and long-term wealth for his family in this period of changing dynasties. Without these

, he can't protect his family. A little finger from the powerful can turn his whole life's efforts into water.

His father, Xiao Xiangsheng, was just too stupid. He didn't know how to seek fame and power, he only knew how to live his own small life. If he had agreed to King Qi's invitation at the beginning, no matter how bad he was now, he would still be a deputy general. How could he end up in the final position?

Death row, a tragic situation in which almost all the family members were destroyed?

In Xiao Shiji's heart, he made vows and aspirations that were completely different from those of his father, Xiao Xiangsheng.

Wealth comes from danger, even if someone wants to use it as a stepping stone, he will accept it!

Xiao Shiji calmed down, turned around and saw Du Hengshuang's worried eyes, and smiled gently at her. This time, the smile first appeared from his eyes, and then extended to the corners of his mouth.

Du Hengshuang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled back.

A burst of tight and frequent copper bells came melodiously, and a veiled woman stood on a big drum carried by four shirtless men, spinning gracefully.
