Chapter 5 How to know that I am not equal 1

　　When Xiaoxiao settled down in the first courtyard, Lanling called her to come to the study and asked her what she practiced on weekdays and what books she read. 　　Xiaoxiao answered one by one. 　　Lan Ling Ling said, "Your father is a martial arts practitioner, so I think you are also practicing kung fu, so go to the backyard and show your skills to your mother." 　　This Lanling King's residence from the front and view, but feel the vermilion door and high walls, very lofty, into the door, the corridor room, all Xuanjun magnificent. At this moment, after the east and west through the hall, and then through a courtyard, Bi Chi will be in front of us. Here is considered to be the center of the royal residence, is the most inner courtyard Xiaoxiao has been to, after the small pond is the male relatives live in the backyard of the lock Jin Yuan. 　　But Lanling brought her straight up a tunnel road, around the Locked Jin Yuan, and the riding and shooting range at the end of the royal residence was in front of her eyes. 　　Xiaoxiao stood outside the field, looking at this riding and shooting practice field that was four or five times larger than an ordinary soccer field. 　　Lanling said blandly: "Lanling is a martial arts family, and all the good hands are practiced in the palace since childhood, so this riding and shooting range is very necessary. Thinking about the time when Tai Zu was first granted the fiefdom, he circled around the place with his horse, and all the buildings on the foundation of the circled land were demolished, and only then did he get this practicing ground that could be used for stretching." 　　Xiaoxiao tongue, the heart of the "people hurt money" four big words, heart really want to practice, where can practice, even if it is a billionaire, there is no need to build a golf course in their own backyard well. 　　Think is to see smiley's unimpressed, Lanling 娬 said: "Yue'er, you with your father learned something, today do not have to hide, let your mother king to see." 　　Xiaoxiao answered a promise, walked to the attendants have prepared a few horses, picked a date red horse, reached out to touch its mane, whispered in its ear two sentences, and from the pocket to touch out a pine nut candy fed the horse coaxed into obedience, before turning on the horse. 　　Lanling 娬 had been waiting to see the daughter taming horse scene, did not want her glance and picked the most docile horse, and coaxed and patted, and even feed sugar this trick also out, could not help but frown. 　　Smile, but do not care what others see, the easiest way to achieve the purpose is her purpose, as long as the horse can recognize her, no matter whether it is coaxed or tamed, only pick the convenient to. 　　Get on the horse, patting the horse's buttocks, first steering the horse trotted around the field, and then gradually increase the speed, from slow to speed, and from speed to slow, controlling the horse around the field for three weeks, and finally upside down in front of the Lanling Jie, a leash, stopping the horse, but it is just right. 　　Lan Ling Li saw his daughter's unhurried, not arrogant, not impatient look, this horse control technology is skillful, heart satisfied, but his face does not move. From the side, he picked up an iron back bow and threw it to her, "Shoot two targets and see." 　　Smile answered, received a quiver of white feather arrows hung in the stirrups next to the horse, drew out a ride on the bow, legs control horse, trotting for a period of time, suddenly turned back, the bow opened like a full moon, white feather arrows "snatched" sound shot at thirty paces away from the target, hit the center of the red heart. 　　She is always lazy, on the fame and fortune and what not thought to bother to fight, thought to come to this king's house everything has a big sister of the world daughter on top, he is a concubine, not valued, just over when the rice worm, only then happy to cast to. 　　One of the most proficient things in her life is to be happy in time, get by, don't make a strong start, used to study is also to strive for the middle of the road, don't want to be in the top of the list of the kind. Compare to always maintain the peak state, she prefers to take it easy, contain but not reveal. 　　At this moment, she steered her horse at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow, and shot two arrows, both of which hit the center of the red at 30 paces and 40 paces, and thought that it was about time, and that she didn't need to be overly aggressive, or else the Queen of Teachers would think that she had a promising future to focus on cultivating, and then that would be a bad thing. So the third arrow specially aimed a little off target, that fifty paces away from the target narrowly off target, only a wobbly inserted into the edge of the target, the wind blew, trembling want to fall down. 　　Xiaoxiao arrived in front of Lanling Li, rolled over and dismounted, with a face of Hao Ran: "Yue'er's arm strength is insufficient, can't shoot from a distance, let the mother king see you laugh." 　　LanLing娬 squinted at her, her face coldly unable to see anything. After a while said, "Your father is not known as what Liu Yun Sect's patriarch, some what stunts you also act two to see." 　　Smile busy said: "Liu Yun Sect lineage of martial arts is only suitable for men to practice, Yue'er follow dad for many years, also only learned a half style defense only." 　　Lanling Jie coldly said, "If you are allowed to practise, you practise, are you not hiding it from your own mother." 　　Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say anything more and hung her head, "Then Yue'er will play with a set of swords and ask Mother King to give her some pointers." 　　Lanling Jie signaled with her eyes, and the attendant next to her handed over the sword. 　　Xiaoxiao unsheathed her sword and danced on the field. Her sword moves were beautiful, but surprisingly slow, as if the usual sword moves had slowed down tenfold, the tip of the sword was like picking a thousand-pound weight, and it was stagnant between swinging, lifting, slashing, and stabbing. 　　Next to the valet is specialized in this side of the shooting range, the king has seen the king with the diners and other martial arts skills, seen the moves are not clean and sharp to see the long, now see this kind of slow, dragging the mud moves, can not help but secretly say that this sword style is nice to look at, but can really hurt people. 　　LanLingQiao mouth slightly hook, letter hand pick up the tray of tea, to the field of sword dance smile is a splash on the body. However, the tea, which came very quickly, could not pass through the blockade of the sword style, and fell on the side of the sword dancer. 　　Thirty-two style sword road play finished, smile and bow down, only to see just splashed tea in her body sprinkled a round circle, uniform and complete, even intentionally take the water painted on the not so neat. 　　Lanling Li was staring at the water stains on the right hem of her coat. 　　Smiled and said: "This set of round turn Ruyi sword I make to always have a gap, is the right center of this piece, father said I still need to practice on three or five years to this break to hide well." 　　Although the gap is small, it is in the vital area of the side of the abdomen. 　　Lanling also did not say much, this martial arts section will be considered barely pass. 　　When it came to the test of the essay, Xiaoxiao turned in a blank answer sheet. She had always been extremely resistant to public writing, and Chang Yue was a free-spirited and uninhibited person, so she would not be forced to limit herself to these rules and regulations. 　　Seeing that her mother's face did not look good, Xiaoxiao said stiffly: ''Actually, Yue'er's memory is not good, and she is extremely bad at memorizing things. But for chanting poems and pairs these are still a bit of a rush talent, how about ......" 　　LanLing 娬 also do not wait for her to finish, coldly interrupted: "Chanting poems and making pairs of vulgarity and elegance is not my LanLing family daughter for, since tomorrow, you daily two minutes to SongHe Zhai reading, until your crown ceremony before, must first learn to do up to the essay on this strategy." 　　Smile a count, this is the second hour but only eight thirty, still have to go to class every day without rest, the heart can not help but complain bitterly. 　　But I don't know Lanling 娬 hate Chang Yue snatched his daughter to raise more than ten years do not teach themselves to get their hands on, this time to try, to catch a deficiency is refused to let go. Originally, this strategy is not necessary for military generals, the focus is on her to show off the prestige of parental upbringing, only bitter smile has always been idle, this time had to put away its rice bugs plan, day to day to learn this official article. 　　The husband that the king invited for his daughter is a great scholar of the Moxiang Academy in the city, who has gained knowledge of the classics, history and literature, and has done a first-class study, but her appearance is that of a fat, chubby, and very fortunate woman. She treats Xiaoxiao very kind, never had a stern reproach, but also stared at the watertight, if there are distracted, will be fine in her ear reasoning. 　　Xiaoxiao eat soft but not hard, was so tightly staring at the class for two days, has been about to have a mental breakdown. Only to go to beg the king, said the master of profound learning, noble character, want to let their own room in the four people to accompany the reading, learn some of the principles of human behavior. He only asked for a few more companions to distract the teacher's attention. 　　Upon hearing this, Lan Ling Jian couldn't help but glare at her and said drily, "Nonsense!" 　　"The four subordinates in your room work to serve the master, as a family member, how can they show their faces and come out to study. And if you really want to learn, you should also learn some sewing and needlework, why would you want to come and learn the articles that a daughter needs to learn! If you are so ambitious, how can you stay in your proper place?" 　　These words were clearly a rebuke to Xiaoxiao's four namesake, but in reality, they were scolding her for her wild imaginations, which was very powerful. 　　Xiaoxiao's face was green and white, her stomach gave her a reply, but her mouth didn't dare to answer half a sentence. 　　LanLing 娬 training finished, through the breath, said: "you need to find someone to accompany the reading, the mother king has its own arrangements, it is not your turn to make unauthorized decisions." 　　The next day, but sent someone to lead a young girl to, head comb double maids, age than Xiaoxiao to Xiaoxiao on some, body shape than Xiaoxiao slightly more voluptuous, clear eyebrows and eyes, demeanor, look very polite, eyes but very smart. 　　Xiaoxiao eyes light up at first sight, know that this person is lively, not boring egg, busy pull over to sit down, carefully asked the name and age, affectionate to no end. 　　This young girl called Zhenxiu, thirteen years old, younger than Xiaoxiao a year, is the Lanling King's family daughter. Her temperament is very bold and lively, and she has been taught by her mother to read and write, but she hates not having the opportunity to study in a school. Being called by the King to accompany the third lady to study, she originally thought of the House of the third lady of the rumors, what outside the wild big, do not know the rules, capricious and so on, the heart of some apprehension, but also some yearning. Do not want to meet today, but a no frame, that others said in the mouth of the unaware of the rules, capricious nonsense, to her is the spleen and stomach, is very compatible. 　　Two young girls study in the same room, this Zhenxiu is lively nature, but very able to pretend, she is also the identity of the limitations, always demure and dignified look posed very skillful, not that the passers-by simply do not see that she is bold, the appearance is the most simple and stable people a, plus indeed good learning, and the husband is right on the spleen, and suddenly the husband's seven points of the spirit of the spirit of the man are attracted to go. 　　Xiaoxiao got the plan this time and was happy to relax. 　　This day the lecture to halfway rest, Xiaoxiao see husband and Zhenxiu is still discussing the details, will lift step out of the courtyard to breathe fresh air. However, she saw a person standing under the fence with a hesitant look on his face, and when he saw her come out, he sighed in relief and called out in a low voice: "Third Miss, something happened to Jing Ying." But it was Shen Bi. 　　Sinking Bik reported, these days Jing Ying has been heavy hearted look, but he has always been sharp, is not a benefit, no one to probe him. This day, the steward divided the monthly amount of each room, but also let each room to send people to receive this season to make clothes fabric. This is to go out of the courtyard door, belongs to the external affairs, originally belongs to the spring and the management, Jingying but automatically volunteered, spring and then let him go. I do not want him to go to go close to two hours, has not returned. 　　Spring and busy to the inner room asked, but said Jing Ying did not go, instead, there is a concierge girl said this morning to see Jing Ying out of the house to go. If it is a servant escape that is not trivial, spring and dare not teach people to know, back to the room to discuss with the two. Sinking Bik then let him and Jing Ming and look for in the house, he rushed to find Xiaoxiao. But she was concerned that she is in class, do not dare to disturb, is anxious, but saw Xiaoxiao paced out. 　　Xiaoxiao listen to, heart immediately collapsed, he just came back how long, half a month is not enough, the room out of this escape thing, really bromine big. 　　She is the most hope for a safe day, thinking of the sea and sky after the crown ceremony, I do not expect to fear what comes what, and now there is also a room in the service of the child escape such a scandal, when I really should not show off the intention to choose a person who does not want to come. 　　She closed her eyes to think, the only plan today, only in the royal family did not find before the first Jing Ying to find back, as long as they do not teach people know, the rest of the things can be solved slowly. 　　She fixed her mind, pulled Shen Bi aside, and inquired in detail about the origins of this Jing Ying. 　　But it turns out that this Jing Ying is different from the rest of the three people who were sold into the house since they were young, he was already twelve years old when he was sold into the house, and was originally too old, but the housekeeper at the time saw that he was not a bad-looking guy, so he bought him as a person in the house to cultivate. I don't want him to grow a good skin, character is extremely stubborn and tricky a person, but anyone who wants to ask him to take advantage of the half can't take up to go. Into the house nearly four years, will be because of this spicy temper, has been stuck in the position of the third-class waiter. All the servants also think that his heart is high and petty, not a favorable person, no one in the house is more and more willing to get close to him. He is usually a penny pincher, I thought he was trying to redeem himself, but I didn't want him to do something like fleeing today, which is really a disgrace to the master's face. 　　Xiaoxiao listened to it and thought it was strange, listening to this person's high-mindedness and pride, saving money for his own ransom intention, how could he escape like this. To know from the king's house to escape, be caught back is a dead end, ask yourself is not bad to the subordinates, but also encourage them to develop freely, how could he move the dead brain to seek his own death? 　　Shen Bi hesitated for a while, whispered to Xiaoxiao: "I heard that Jing Ying had promised his wife outside, that day, that day was for his wife's serious illness before he sold himself into the royal residence. But in that case, it should have severed its relationship with that family." 　　Xiaoxiao was stunned, "He was only twelve years old when he sold himself in, so he promised someone long ago?" 　　Shen Bi blushed: "It should be that his parents were poor and sent him to his wife's home as a child husband since he was young." 　　Hesitation for a while, a small voice added: "But he has not yet round room, the king's house to select the service child are required to be a child's body." The last sentence buried his head and forced it out, only to see the white jade-like ears are red through and through. 　　Smile after listening, the heart has a proposition, and then ordered Shen Bi for their own to the teacher leave, the other two do not have to mess around in the house, the three together back to the room to wait, their own alone out of the house to find, the public only said that the master is sick. 　　Turning to walk, Shen Bi suddenly behind the mosquito humming said: "Jing Ying him, he is also unable to, please master sympathy for his lonely." 　　Smiley was stunned and turned back to laugh, "You have a good conscience. Don't worry, I am going to save him, not to harm him. If my mother knows about him, she will peel his skin off if he goes out like this. If you really want to worry about him, hide it for me and don't let anyone know that I went out of the house privately." 　　Xiaoxiao knew that Jing Ying's sudden departure from the house must be related to his wife's master, and she had to look for the woman to find him. She was afraid that directly inquiring about Jing Ying's origins would cause the steward to be suspicious, so she said that she wanted to find out the background of the four people in the room, and pulled out the dossiers that the four people had left when they entered the house. She slightly flipped through, Jingying filled in the address at that time in her mind, her mouth faintly said: "All of the family is innocent." Then she returned the scrolls. 　　Also afraid of this kind of strutting out will let people see, looking for a secluded place, lifting the Qi over the wall out, straight to the east of the city bitter water alley and go.
