Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Hearing the word Wei Ruolan, Daiyu was startled suddenly.

Although she only saw two sides, she didn't see his description clearly when she was panicked the first time, but after seeing the second time, she knew very well that Wei Ruolan was at most fourteen or fifteen years old, and her figure was very thin. He has the ability to shoot tigers with flying arrows.

Among birds and beasts, the tiger is king.

Baoyu learned to ride and shoot since he was a child, but it was just that he was not laughed at when traveling on horseback.

The queen said enthusiastically: "Wei Ruolan? That's the kid who's been rumored all over the capital these days? Didn't he say he knelt in the temple? How did he participate in Qiuwei? It's amazing to have such ability at such a young age. In Outlaws of the Marsh, Wu Song had to spend a lot of punches and kicks to fight the tiger, and with the addition of drinking to strengthen his courage, Wei Ruolan shot a tiger to death with one arrow, which seemed to be better than Wu Song."

Daiyu stared blankly at the queen, she felt that the empress she saw was far from the virtuous and dignified that others praised.

The eunuch seemed to understand his master's temperament very well, and said with an unchanged expression: "Mrs. Hui, it is the Mr. Wei who is in the rumors and gossips. He used to kneel in the Iron Net Mountain Temple. Because of the special order of the Holy One, Fang Entrance field."

Gossip?What gossip?Daiyu was puzzled, and decided to return to Beijing after the ceremony, and asked Mother Liu to inquire about it.

The Queen thought for a while, then turned to Daiyu and said, "Tiewangshan is just such a small and handsome temple, and there are a few very noble monks living in it. .You do things in this temple. I heard from Miss Liu. Could it be that Wei Ruolan is also kneeling in this temple?"

Daiyu said: "When I went down the mountain, I did meet Master Yun, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the young master of Weibo's mansion. There are two religious ceremonies in the temple every day. One is to save Jing Xiao's parents, and the other is to pray for the parents of Wei Gongzi. Because of the staggered every day, I don't know it very well."

The queen smiled suddenly, Biqing's eyes were full of smiles, and said: "He has a plan in mind."

I don't know if this sentence is about Daiyu or Wei Ruolan, after finishing speaking, she said to the eunuch: "It's only the first day today that I shot the tiger to death, even if I didn't get any other prey, it can be regarded as the top one. , there are still eight days left, I don’t know what good things I can get. You go and pass on my words to Wei Ruolan. After autumn is over, winter will come. It’s bound to be icy and snowy. Put some thought into it, and let me see what this tiger-fighting hero is capable of."

The eunuch responded with a low eyebrow, and was about to retreat when the queen asked, "What kind of prey did your Majesty kill?"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "The Holy Majesty only shot one deer, and the rest will be handed over to His Royal Highnesses, court officials and their children."

The queen said: "In the old year, only seven or eight arrows shot a deer to death, and that deer really suffered. The stripped deer skin has seven or eight holes, so pitiful. How many feather arrows were used this year?"

The eunuch's face remained motionless, and he replied: "Going back to your mother, six arrows were used."

The queen sneered and waved him to back off.

Daiyu gradually understood that she must not be good at archery nowadays, otherwise she would not need seven or eight arrows to kill a deer, and she would not do it anymore.It's no wonder that when the world mentions the current sage, they sing countless praises, praise his wisdom, praise his benevolence and filial piety, and once said that the sage wrote good calligraphy and painted well, but did not mention the sage's force.

The queen said to Daiyu with a smile: "I thought that this year's autumn encirclement would be boring. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's really a surprise. Every autumn encirclement, there must be imperial forest soldiers patrolling the mountains half a month in advance to enforce the law. It's a deceitful pretense, I don't know how much prey is put into the mountain, whether it is captive or captured alive from other places, otherwise how can there be so many birds and beasts in the small iron net mountain for those dignitaries to hunt? The tiger is not an ordinary prey. If people let the tiger go back to the mountain, Wei Ruolan must have real skills if he can shoot the tiger to death. Come, let us go out and have a look at their heroic appearance on horseback and hunt, and come back to enjoy the painting."

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this.

A large number of Imperial Forest Army drove the birds and beasts from the mountains so that the dignitaries could hunt without entering the mountains. She already thought it was ironic, but she didn't expect such an outrageous truth.

The queen put on a cloak embroidered with dragons and phoenixes in bright yellow, and ordered someone to give Daiyu a piece of stone and blue silk tapestry. Together, they walked out of the big tent. , pheasant feather Kuitou, etc., surrounded by colorful concubines, there are many eunuchs, and there are many guards in the distance. The armor is bright, and the high tent is quite far away from the place where the emperor presents gifts. Even the eunuchs can't see the face of the queen. , let alone those civil and military officials and children of aristocratic families.

The queen ordered someone to set up another one at the bottom, and made Daiyu sit down, and then ordered the maid to present two binoculars, one for herself and one for Daiyu, and said: "This is a tribute from the West. It can see the distant view, it seems to be As if in front of your eyes."

Daiyu also had one when she was a child, but she was no stranger to it, but she just took a binoculars to see where the saint was, which was really disrespectful.

The queen had already looked at it once with the binoculars, and seeing that she was holding the binoculars without moving, she couldn't help being very puzzled. After thinking about it, she realized it again, and said with a smile: "You are so young, your thoughts are too meticulous. Just look at it." , Today in Qiuwei, there is no distinction between winners and losers, so you don’t have to care about these red tapes. If you really care, wouldn’t those aristocratic children who hunted ahead of the prince’s important officials be rude? Besides, the Holy Majesty couldn’t pull the heavy bow himself, and he would sooner Gossiping with some veterans in the tent, how can I blow the wind outside."

Daiyu listened to the empress unconsciously revealing the shortcomings of the Holy Majesty, she pursed her lips and smiled quietly, but finally couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, she boldly put the binoculars in front of her eyes, and looked towards the place where the noise was the loudest.Naturally, what she looked at was not the palace, but the entrance of the paddock, but she saw countless figures, both heroic and majestic, with flags fluttering and dust and smoke everywhere.

When the eunuch sent Wei Ruolan a message according to the queen's decree, Wei Ruolan was receiving the holy gift in front of the emperor.

Today's Sheng Shangnian, Chang Tai, looked at the fierce tiger presented, and heard that Wei Ruolan also shot three wild boars, pheasants, hares, wild foxes and other prey with ferocious tusks in just one hour, because they could not be transported back, He only dragged the tiger out, and the rest of the prey was packed and delivered by the Imperial Forest Army. Emperor Changtai cherished his bravery and said: "Okay, you have the courage of a parachutist. Come, bring over the sun-shooting bow. Wei Ruolan, If you can draw this bow, I will reward you."

Although the sun-shooting bow is not as powerful as Hou Yi's shooting the sun, nor is it as heavy as a thousand catties, but no one has been able to pull this bow for decades, so it has been left in the treasure house.Emperor Changtai heard from Chen Qi that Wei Ruolan was extremely powerful, so he took the bow with him, intending to try him out.

Several eunuchs obeyed the order and carried a bow and nine arrows. The bow is simple and the arrow is sharp.

Seeing that Lie Xin was happy, Wei Ruolan picked up the sun-shooting bow lightly and skillfully.The precious bow he used before was passed down from his grandfather. Although it is ten times stronger than ordinary bows and arrows, it is always necessary to control the strength of the bow, lest the bowstring be broken if the force is too strong. This pair of sun-shooting bows came just in time. With this bow in hand, who can be against in the paddock?He recognized the arrowhead of the divine arrow at a glance, it was made of black iron, comparable to a magic weapon, shooting stones is like shooting tofu, not to mention the fur of ferocious beasts.

Emperor Changtai saw that his movements were light, his face was neither red nor out of breath when he drew the bow, and his expression was as usual, as if the sun-shooting bow was only as light as a goose feather, his eyes suddenly showed a touch of admiration, and he said with a smile: "Okay, I will reward you with the sun-shooting bow I hope you hold this bow, and if you win the beast again for nine days in a row, you will definitely have a place in the first-class Dragon Forbidden Commander by my side."

Wei Ruolan let go of the bowstring and knelt down to thank her.

When she exited the big tent, she saw the little eunuch sent by the queen, Wei Ruolan listened to the order and obeyed with a smile.While thinking about where is the den of fire foxes in the mountains, maybe it would be better to make a few white foxes for a cloak, then looked up at the queen's camp, looked at two figures, one yellow and one green, on the high platform, bowed his head and smiled, full of ambition, turned around and went to Chen Qi's place Living account.

In the evening, Emperor Changtai had a banquet for his ministers. During the day, he sent the shot deer and other prey to the capital on horseback, and presented them to the Supreme Emperor, so there was no venison in the evening.Emperor Changtai felt a little regretful, but he also knew that none of his sons and ministers dared to shoot deer. He glanced at the game dishes presented, and ordered Dai Quan: "This soup of roasted pigs and pheasants is for the queen. Send it."

Dai Quan obeyed the order and personally took the eunuch to send it.

At this time, because of Daiyu's filial piety, the Empress did not eat any meat at noon. In the evening, she ordered someone to prepare light and delicious vegetarian dishes. The two of them were enjoying it. After receiving the roasted baby pig and pheasant soup, they did not touch their chopsticks when they were placed on the table.

The queen said to Daiyu: "When it comes to health preservation, it is better to eat less at night. Even if you eat, you must eat lightly. If you eat too much meat, it will accumulate in the stomach and will not be digested, and you will not be able to sleep well. "

Daiyu said yes with a smile.

After dinner, the queen ordered Xia Shouzhong to take Daiyu back to the temple.She originally wanted to stay with Daiyu for a few days, but Daiyu refused to interrupt her parents' funeral.Therefore, the queen said: "I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning, and come when you finish the ceremony. There is not only hunting in the paddock, but there will also be martial arts competitions in the future."

Daiyu had previously rejected the order to stay overnight, so she naturally obeyed at this time.

When she left, there was only three rounds of wine in the banquet, and the big butter wax as thick as an arm was burning with flames, and the surroundings were as bright as day.

Wei Ruolan sat at the bottom with a group of grandsons and sons of the noble family, because their seats were far away from the holy car, everyone was guessing, and they were doing everything. Others were having a good time, and they didn't notice anything, but he saw a dozen or so people. The eunuch held a horn lamp to illuminate it, and many eunuchs and court ladies walked slowly away from the palace that they saw today.

It must be to send Daiyu back to the temple, Wei Ruolan wondered if she should go back to the temple too?In case someone makes trouble by kneeling on the scriptures.

While thinking about it, someone patted her on the shoulder, and when she turned her head, it was Feng Ziying, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said, "Ruolan, you're showing off today, I respect you for this glass of wine, you can't help it." drink."

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "I have already eaten meat, if I drink again, won't the Buddha blame me even more when I go back to the temple?"

Feng Ziying remembered that he was supposed to kneel in the temple to pray for blessings, so he couldn't help laughing, because in front of many people, his smile could not be ironic, and said: "I forgot that you still have a heavy responsibility. I heard that you got the sun-shooting bow, let's go into the mountains together tomorrow and tell me to see if the sun-shooting bow has the power to shoot the sun."

Wei Ruolan nodded in agreement, but without saying a word, she saw a person sitting on a seat farther away from Shengjia suddenly stood up, looked under the light, it was none other than Wei Yuan, and walking towards her, with a face There seems to be a bit of anger on the face.
