Chapter 55 Admiration
The broad and gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate of Yuanlu Academy, and Xie Zhan did not get off the carriage for a long time.

Even he didn't know why he got the painting on the front foot, so he set off immediately on the back foot, and came here to explain to her.

He was sitting in the carriage, and the folding fan had been opened and closed several times.

Shi Qing sat on the shaft of the chariot and waited for a while, seeing that his young master hadn't planned to come out, he shook his head repeatedly.

Really!
Before coming here, the four horses almost broke their hooves, but now they are all right, and he is not in a hurry anymore.

Just when he was bored and finally plucked up the courage to ask a question, a jade bone fan lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and Xie Zhan appeared in white.

"Son."

"Let's go."

Like every ordinary academy, Yuanlu Academy has buildings such as lecture halls, studios, study buildings, and ancestral halls.The overall pattern of these buildings follows the strict order of Gangchang Confucianism.

Different from what Xie Zhan thought was simple, the internal environment of Yuanlu Academy is not inferior to those private schools of the aristocratic family.

Although it occupies a much smaller area than Xie's private school, plants such as bamboo, osmanthus, pine, plum, orchid are planted inside, and pavilions, platforms, small bridges and flowing water are arranged in various places. , like the artistic conception of opening from the sky".

The landscape is leisurely and harmonious, and the environment is quiet and beautiful. Being in it makes people's mood unconsciously become natural and peaceful.

Xie Zhan nodded slightly, and was about to boast in his heart that this academy is good enough to support his family, when he heard a sudden burst of enthusiastic noise——

"Hahahaha... Fudaolang, why are you shooting crookedly again?"

A fat boy with a round face who looked about ten years old asked loudly, causing the seven or eight boys behind him to burst into laughter.

At this moment, Fu Xuan held a bow in her hand, and frowned sadly at the few arrows that missed the target.

If students had to be taught the six arts of rites, music, archery, censorship, calligraphy, and counting, and Fu Qian, who teaches "archery," has other things to do temporarily today, why would she volunteer to take this class?

It was clearly based on the postures and main points mentioned in the book, so how could it fail again and again?
Also, this bow looks unreal, why is it so difficult to lift it?
It is clear that her uncle, father, and brothers are very relaxed, and they are holding the bow specially made for her by her uncle, so why can't they shoot?
"I don't even know how many are there!"

"Will she know it?"

Hearing everyone's ridicule, Fuxuan snorted, "I just deliberately demonstrated the wrong way, and I told you not to do it like this. I call it a 'lesson from the past'. Now I am going to demonstrate the correct way. You all pay attention, Keep your eyes open for me!"

Listening to her voice, Xie Zhan walked around the screen wall, and what he saw was Fu Xuan in military uniform holding a bow.

A set of scarlet narrow-sleeved trousers set off the small face and neck skin even more beautifully. The waist is slender, the legs are slender, and the front and back are bumpy and plump.

Xie Zhan's eyes darkened.

He turned to look at the arm that was struggling to draw the bow.

Ah.

With such a little effort, the bow was not fully drawn, and the bow was not aimed at a single point. How could it be possible to shoot on the target.

After a while, as Xie Zhan expected, there was only a very light "pop" sound, and the crowd burst into laughter again.

Missed again.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Didn't you say this is the right way?"

"How many lessons learned from the past!"

"Fudaolang, are you okay?"

Fu Xuan's ears were red, and she anxiously said, "Who said I can't do it! Just now... just... I made a mistake!"

Amidst the heated noise, suddenly, there was a small chuckle, just like a chime chime suddenly ringing, stopping all the noise.

Fu Xuan looked at the person coming, and was momentarily stunned.

The majestic gentleman dressed in white, with a face like a crown of jade, with clear eyebrows and elegant demeanor, Shi Shiran came towards her.

She swallowed unconsciously.

Why is he here?

Xie Zhan strode forward and walked to her side with a smile in his eyes.

"Fu girl, have you ever made no mistakes?" He asked.

After being teased by Xie Zhan, Fu Xuan came back to her senses, and immediately showed a bit of embarrassment, and then she glared at the man in displeasure.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and handed out the bow in his hand to Xie Zhan, "You can do it, you come."

Xie Zhan chuckled, and took it calmly, feeling warm in his chest.

He stood still, took an arrow from a boy, raised his arm, drew the bow, took aim, and released the string in one go.

With a "snap", the arrow pierced the bull's-eye.

Everyone was amazed, even Fu Xuan opened her mouth silently, and when she looked at Xie Zhan again, her eyes were filled with admiration.

It's not that she has never seen her elder brothers practice arrows with her father, but at such a speed, only two people in the entire Fu family can barely match it.

Moreover, the good-looking man, even the posture of holding the bow and shooting arrows looks better than others.

Xie Zhan did not show any complacency because of the praise, but explained to several students with a serious expression: "This is called a 'white arrow'. The arrow turns white when the arrow pierces the target, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful."

He bent down again to fetch four arrows, let out one arrow first, and then shot three arrows in succession, saying: "This is called 'Shenlian'."

Once again, four consecutive arrows were shot, all hitting the target, Xie Zhan explained: "This is called 'jing instrument'"

After he meticulously explained the five archery techniques "Bai Shi, Shen Lian, Yan Zhu, Xiang Chi, Jing Yi" one by one, there was no more noisy play in the crowd, but strong admiration and admiration. Passionate about archery.

Xie Zhan threw the bow to Shi Qing, "You teach them the posture."

Shi Qing's face was much thicker, and he was obviously more popular with the students than Xie Zhan, who had a serious and calm expression.

The noisy voice of the classroom came out again, and every student rushed forward to Shi Qing, shouting "I first" and "I first".

Fu Xuan and Xie Zhan walked a long way before hearing Shi Qing's order from behind: "Stand up for me!"

**
The summer wind blows the flowers, and the shadows of the trees are mottled.

Walking to the streamside under the shade of green trees, Fuxuan broke the silence: "Young Master Xie came to see me, but is there something wrong?"

Xie Zhan turned his face and looked down at her.

Under her sparkling eyes, on the tip of her small and tall nose, thin beads of sweat ooze; due to the heat and the forceful drawing of the bow just now, her face is already flushed, and there are thin sweat hanging on the sides of her cheeks and soft hair with.

His fingers holding the scroll moved, and he felt a strange urge to sweat for her.

He thought so, and his body naturally did the same.

Seeing that he didn't reply to her, but without saying a word, he pinned the folding fan to his waist, took out the white handkerchief from his wide sleeve, held the handkerchief in his hand, and put it straight on her face, Fuxuan stepped back in fright. Take a sharp step back.

She asked him in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Drain your sweat for you." Xie Zhan said honestly, looking calm.

Fu Xuan looked at him suspiciously, took out her handkerchief from her body, and said, "I have it myself."

Xie Zhan's hands froze, and he said dissatisfiedly, "What are you afraid of? It's just a veil."

Fu Xuan wiped her face with her handkerchief, and said softly: "Thank you, but Mr. Xie, you are no longer my fiancé, and I have no reason to use the other man's things."

After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically at Xie Zhan, as if she felt guilty for ignoring his intentions.
