Chapter Fifty-Nine: Spewing Fire

  PS: Thank you ps小醉, menie and 落燕闲居 for their rewards.

  He and Second Brother were playing with Shu Yu, who was in high spirits. He took out a one-stone bow and arrow, "Little sister, I'll teach you how to shoot an arrow."

  Shu Yao's head shook like a rattle drum, and she took several steps back. Shu Yi stepped forward, but Shu Yao retreated another step, pouting: "Don't, don't, I don't want to."

  Shu Yao's bright eyes were filled with discontent, Shu Yi had a headache, was it necessary to let her learn archery again, wasn't it difficult enough? "Little sister, what will you do when you go to the Mulan arena in the future? You can't ride horses, and you can't shoot arrows either, people will laugh at you."

  "You can't ride a horse, don't you have a carriage? You can't shoot an arrow, well, big brother and second brother didn't say it, who knows I won't be able to shoot an arrow?" Shu Yao looked up with a mysterious smile: "Second brother hasn't heard of 'a superior man does not show off his skills, a skilled person does not show off'? A superior man will not compete or compare with others."

  Xiu Yao pointed to the arrow target with many arrow feathers, "Second brother is a divine archer, our family's ancestral heritage, anyone would guess that my riding and shooting skills are not bad. I'm also very honest and don't want to show off, no one can use me to rise to fame. If someone bullies me, there are only two reasons."

  "What is it?" Shu Yu was very curious, wondering what little sister Shu Yao could make out.

  "If you insist on competing with me, it means that you and your brother are not strong enough, someone is bullying you to the point of coming after me. Or, your archery skills are not good, making people look down on you?" Shu Yao's ear was pinched by Shu Yi, "Second Brother, let go of me, let go!"

  Shu Yao struggled free, rubbing her ears as both of them loved to pinch her ears. Shu Yao glared at Book Yat, "Second Brother, if you don't practice your skills properly, I'll tell Mother about it. Mother will take action... Hmm, I forgot, Mother's horseback archery is the best. As long as Mother rides a horse around the Mulan arena once, no one dares to bully me. Mother is still the most formidable."

  Shu Yao finally understood an important issue and raised her hand in triumph: "Mother is mighty, mother is mighty."

  Shu Yi stared blankly at his little sister, Shu Yao. He had seen lazy people before, but rarely anyone as lazy as her, especially with such a straight face and no shame. Shu Yi felt a bit suffocated. No wonder his brother could argue with anyone, but couldn't handle Shu Yao. According to their mother's words, Shu Yao's intelligence was never used in the right place, all of it was spent on being lazy. Shu Yi wondered if his future brother-in-law would be driven mad by Shu Yao, the prospect was worrying.

  "Second brother, let's go see Ma Fa."

  Shu Yi didn't force her to practice archery, Shu Yao smiled and asked Shu Yi: "Second brother, are you going or not?"

  "Go." Shu Ye also wanted to see Ma Fa's tearless face, so he took Shu Yao to visit the old master under the pretext of asking for his well-being. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they heard the old master's loud and clear roar: "Shu Mu Lu Shu Xuan, I'll say it again - I don't know, just don't know."

  "What's wrong?"

  "What did you say? You said that? Take your book and get out of here, hurry up, hurry up, you're more annoying than Shu Yao."

  "Mahfa, actually I'm better than little sister."

  The old man directly pushed Shu Xuan out of the house, and Shu Xuan still had a thick ancient book in his arms. The door slammed shut with a loud bang, causing the windows to shake. It was clear that the old man was about to be driven mad by Shu Xuan. Shu Xuan said, "Mafa, Mafa."

  The old man shouted angrily from behind the door: "You can read any book in the study room, but don't ask me questions again."

  The old man was wronged, what did he say just now? He casually said a sentence, thinking that in front of Zhangsun Shuxuan, he could also show off his knowledge of literature and words. As a result, he didn't show off well and was pestered by the good-seeking Zhangsun. At first, the old man could still say a few words, but as time went on, the old man's head became dizzy and his ears buzzed, and he drove Zhangsun away. At his age, he needed peace and quiet to cultivate himself and couldn't keep up with Zhangsun.

  Although Shu Yao was a bit annoying, she was lazy and quiet. The old man saw through it and gave Shu Yao a place to sleep, which was enough.

  The old man thought about it more and more, and he didn't feel right. How did the three siblings grow up? Although Zhiyuan was not pleasing to him, at least he was better than Shuxuan and Shuyao. Was it that his daughter-in-law hadn't been educated well? The old man shook his head in denial. It wouldn't be, he still had a good eye for women. Guajia was a virtuous wife, suitable for Zhiyuan. This could be seen from the fact that Zhiyuan was promoted to a third-grade official position after returning to Beijing, even if he had the emperor's favor and didn't have real ability.

  The old master handles all the affairs of the family, but he always pays attention to his son Zhiyuan. The old master still remembers the elegant and heroic bearing of Guwalgiya when she was in the boudoir. He let someone inquire about her in detail before taking the initiative to send someone to propose marriage under the pretext of losing a bet. The old master took the initiative because he was afraid that the old lady would casually find an ignorant daughter-in-law for Zhiyuan, which would be unbearable. The old master has always been very pleased with his choice of Guwalgiya. According to the master's calculation, the birthdays of Zhiyuan and his wife are very compatible, a rare auspicious sign that will bring prosperity to the family and good fortune to their descendants.

  Xingjia Wangzu is right, but the three siblings raised by their daughter-in-law Gual Jiasi, the old man's beard trembles, it's not good to say, they will 'harm' others in the future, just bear with it, just bear with it.

  On the other hand, Shu Yao and Shu Yi saw their big brother being chased out, exchanged a glance, and simultaneously turned their faces to cover their mouths and stifle a laugh. Shu Yao complained: "It's all because of second brother delaying things, we didn't get to see the exciting parts."

  "Little sister, as long as Mafa's study has ancient books, big brother will definitely come, and wonderful days will reappear." Shu Yao also felt regretful, no one expected that big brother would get along with the old man so quickly. Shu Yao said: "Next time it must be faster, but won't Mafa ignore big brother?"

  Shu Yao worried that Lao Ye Zi would ignore Da Ge, and there wouldn't be any excitement to watch. Shu Yi said in a low voice, "With Da Ge's skills, who could possibly overlook him?"

  "Uh-huh, uh-huh." Shu Yao smiled and nodded in agreement. "Mother said that after Big Brother enters the imperial court as an official, we won't be the ones to suffer losses anymore. Second Brother, do you think the Emperor can tolerate Big Brother's behavior?"

  “???”

  Shu Yi couldn't give an answer, seeing Xiao Mei's inquiring eyes, Shu Yi murmured: "Master Wan... should be stronger than us." As for how strong, Shu Yi had no idea either.

  "Second brother, little sister, have you come to pay respects to Mother Ma?" Shu Xuan hugged his book as if it was a rare treasure and nodded at his siblings: "That's right, that's right. Knowing to pay respects to Mother Ma is good, very good."

  Shu Xuan turned around and shouted towards the old man in the house: "Mafa, Shu Yishu Yao has come to pay her respects to you, you have to open the door!!!"

  "Nothing, nothing."

  One person is still not enough, and the two old men can't bear it. The old man is afraid that Shu Xuan will talk to him about Confucius and Mencius' filial piety again, so he leans on the bed and says, "I'm sleeping, don't see anyone."

  In an instant, a thunderous snore shook the sky. Shu Xuan said: "Ma Fa fell asleep too quickly, such a loud snore, he must be extremely tired."

  Shu Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing, able to force the old man into such a state, big brother is indeed talented. Shu Yao forgot, she was also talented and had her own share.

  "Old master, Fourth Master, Sixth Miss, something's wrong! Something's wrong!" Zhang Ya rushed over in a flurry, "The old master has fallen into the river and can't be seen."

  "PS: It took two months, Qing Yu Road will be on shelves tomorrow. Xiao Zui sincerely asks everyone to support the genuine version. If the results are good, Xiao Zui will work hard to add more. Xiao Zui is extremely nervous, afraid that no one will subscribe."
