By the time Mingyi finished shooting the hundred arrows, her hands were so sore that she couldn't lift them up at all. Her two arms were hanging by her sides like cotton. She could no longer hold the bow, and her whole arms were numb. Trembling uncontrollably.
Xue Lin had official duties, so he left and sent Xu You, who was not doing his job properly, to supervise the work here. Seeing that she had finished shooting, Xu You went over and counted the arrows himself, then ran back very excitedly and said, "Forty-one, there are forty-one shots on target." !Sister-in-law, there’s no need to shoot another hundred arrows!”
This is really good news! Mingyi's whole body went limp, and her last bit of strength was gone. She couldn't care less about the upbringing of a noble girl, and collapsed directly to the ground.
For a long time, I didn't even want to say anything.
"Sister-in-law, you must be exhausted. Come on, let me fan you!" Xu You diligently stepped forward to fan Mingyi.
It's cool in the slightest, taking away some dryness and fatigue, which is quite useful. Mingyi opened her eyes lazily and looked at Xu You, who was smiling attentively, "Young Master, you made a special trip to see the show today?"
"It's not like there's nothing else to do." Xu You laughed. He just came to watch the show, but it wasn't just for the show.
"Young Master is so magnanimous!" Mingyi snorted.
"Thanks for the compliment from my sister-in-law!" Xu You smiled and cupped his fists.
Did she praise him? Mingyi frowned, okay, if he really took the word "magnanimous" as a compliment. "So, what else is going on with Mr. Marquis?"
"Speaking of which, it's not anyone else's business, it's your business, sister-in-law. Didn't we agree before that we should find an opportunity to make Hua Xiangrong's name famous? Now, isn't the opportunity coming? "
Hua Xiangrong opened in a low-key manner at the beginning of the month, and there is still some business. However, most of the low-end products are popular, but the profits are huge. The high-end cosmetics, which are expensive, have not yet opened up sales. These days, Fanshuang is very worried about this. .
"You're talking about...the Pei family's lotus appreciation feast?" Mingyi sat up from the ground.
"Yes." Xu You nodded. He, the second shopkeeper who sells his body for makeup and beauty, likes to take advantage of every opportunity. When he heard about the Pei family's lotus appreciation feast, he immediately took it into consideration and couldn't wait to come to Mingyi to discuss it. "I know you are busy, sister-in-law, but this is your business after all. Don't you still think you can make money? You have to be careful, right? The Pei family's lotus appreciation banquet must have invited many well-known people in Anxi. By then Ah, we will dress you up and make sure the girls attending the banquet are stunned. As long as they ask you, why can’t Hua Xiangrong’s powder be sold?”
Xu You shook her folding fan while thinking about the day when Hua Xiangrong's makeup became popular. She was in a happy mood and couldn't stop smiling on her face.
"As long as it's good for business, I can certainly cooperate, but I don't have the time to worry about dressing up right now, so I'll bother Young Marquis and Wei Yu to discuss the details." Mingyi also pointed at Hua Xiangrong to make money. The matter has nothing to do with Xue Lin. Although she doesn't like to rely on her appearance to show off, but for the sake of the shop, it's okay to do it occasionally.
Xu You was waiting for her words, and immediately smiled and patted her chest, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about it. I'll discuss it with Wei Yu later and I'll give you a good make-up." , let Pei Qingqing, whose eyes are higher than the top of her head, take a good look at her, and tell her to be arrogant again."
"Is the Pei Qingqing mentioned by the young marquis the fifth wife of the Pei family?" Mingyi asked, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Isn't it her?" Xu You snorted.
Mingyi's eyes flashed, "The governor suddenly tested my archery skills and asked me to practice like this. Is this related to the Pei family's lotus appreciation feast?"
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that although Pei Qingqing is the fifth in the Pei family, her grandfather is the head of the Pei family, and her father is an official in the court. She is the most noble wife in the Pei family. But she grew up in Anxi, She doesn't understand the rules at all, so she rides horses and shoots arrows, comparing herself to men. She also boasts that her archery skills are very good, and she will compete with anyone she catches. This is also the case at every banquet. In this huge Anxi, no matter whether men or women, she can compete with each other. Well, sister-in-law, you have never compared with her. She doesn’t like Wangjing’s noble daughter, and because of Lao Xue, she will definitely keep an eye on her sister-in-law when they attend the banquet. Lao Xue is It's also a precautionary measure. But... Don't worry, sister-in-law, I see that you are making rapid progress today and you are still a few days away from being eighteen, so there is no need to be afraid of that half-baked Pei Qingqing."
"The reason why the young marquis said that the governor was added? Does it mean that the Pei family had once thought of marrying Mrs. Pei Wu to the governor? Or... still has this idea?" When Mingyi asked, there was no emotion or anger on his face. , very quiet, but his eyes were fixed on Xu You's face.
At this moment, Xu You just wanted to slap himself in the face, grinned and said, "Isn't this the news that was specially released in order to exchange for my sister-in-law to leave Wangjing smoothly? It's all fake, it can't be taken as true, it can't be taken as true Really!" With this mouth, how can such a dazed person dare to say anything? If Lao Xue found out, he was afraid that he would be in trouble again.
"Are you serious?" Mingyi snorted, "The sun has been shining brightly in Beiguan recently. I saw that the little Marquis's face has become darker and his skin has dried out a lot. This is not good, it will cause spots. .”
Mingyi's two soft words made Xu You's face change instantly, "Dark? Dry? Are there still spots? No?" As he asked repeatedly, he hurriedly took out a square from his clothes. The target mirror reflected his face.
This guy actually carries a mirror with him? The corners of Mingyi's mouth twitched. This level of stinky beauty really... made her a woman feel ashamed!
Xu You looked in the mirror for a long time and thought it was fine, but when she turned around and looked at Mingyi, she had been accompanying Xue Lin to various camps every day for the past month and practiced in the scout camp, but her little face was still white, shiny and smooth. Just like the fine mutton-fat white jade, no flaws could be seen at all. He immediately felt unbalanced, "What new recipe did my sister-in-law use?"
"There is one. I just made it in early summer when I saw the weather in Beiguan. It's pretty good to use." Mingyi's hand gently caressed her face. Although Fu Mingyi's face is not as beautiful as Li Fengjiao, this face is not as beautiful as Li Fengjiao's. The leather he wears is no less generous.
Xu You's eyes were warm and he licked a smiling face and knelt down to Mingyi with a "plop" sound, "Sister-in-law, please do me a favor and reward me with a bottle."
"It's just a bottle of ointment. I'm not reluctant to give it to the young Marquis..." Mingyi's eyes were light, but before she said the next words, Xu You had already heard Xian Zhiya and said immediately, "The Pei family has indeed been here early in the morning. He has fallen in love with Lao Xue and wants to marry his daughter to him, so the rumor is not completely groundless."
These two are still rushing to marry their daughters. Mingyi snorted softly, changed her position, raised her chin with her hand, and lazily raised her eyes, "Continue!"
As soon as Xu You heard that there was something going on, he silently thought to himself, "A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Lao Xue, please pray for yourself." Then he cleared his throat and continued, "But Lao Xue refused. Although I don't know why he refused, it's just that Well, it didn’t work out, and later His Majesty granted me the marriage, and the Pei family’s daughter would not be Lao Xue’s concubine, so naturally the matter was completely dropped.”
"However, Pei Qingqing must have also fallen in love with Lao Xue back then. Although the marriage failed, she still said that her future husband would never be worse than Lao Xue. In short, she still didn't let go. So Ah, sister-in-law, the Pei family must be careful when attending a banquet. Pei Qingqing has a very arrogant temper, so don't let her be bullied."
Mingyi thought of the fifth lady of the Pei family who ran outside the governor's house to peek at her on the day she first arrived in Beiguan, and snorted, "I didn't expect that our governor is really a hottie."
"That's not the case. I see that he doesn't look good with my sister-in-law, not at all." Xu You said with a smile. In order to please Mingyi, what's the point of burying the Tai brothers?
Mingyi glanced at him and said nothing. He stepped forward and smiled brighter, "Sister-in-law, can you reward me with a bottle of ointment?"
