Chapter 60: posturing
Chapter 60 Posture
When the siblings returned to the house, they were warmly welcomed. Because Jiang Sanlang, the little fat man who ran home first, had brought home the news that Jiang Ling had beaten Meng Tingwan, and spread it.
In the past three years, the Jiang family has suffered from the Meng family's anger. The Jiang family has no means of revenge. It is good to beat the Meng family to vent their anger.
Jiang Erye took the little girl off the carriage and patted his son on the shoulder, "Okay, okay!"
Jiang Shilang clapped his hands, "Brother Ling is amazing! Brother Ling is the best! Brother Ling taught me!"
Jiang Saburo pulled the fourth brother aside, rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try, "Jiang Ling, let's compete and see who is the best!"
Jiang Erlang raised his sleeves and covered his face. The third brother has been defeated and defeated again and again. I don't know whether to call him stupid or resilient.
After several boys finished making troubles, Jiang Erye struttingly brought his children back to the West Courtyard. After each person had a cup of hot milk, Jiang Erye asked, "Sanlang only said that you beat Meng Tingwan late, what happened?"
Erlang, Saburo and Jiang Ling are all studying in Qingjin Academy, but they are not in the same place, so although Jiang Sanlang knew that Jiang Ling beat Meng Tingwan, he did not know the reason.
Jiang Muyan put down the warm bowl and looked at Jiang Ling nervously, Jiang Liu was still drinking the milk one by one.
"Today, I was learning riding and archery in the academy. Meng Tingfang said in public that your father's riding and archery are extremely poor." Jiang Ling said truthfully, "He is a son to insult his father, how can a son tolerate him, so he will compete with him on the spot."
"Crack!" Jiang Erye slapped the table angrily, causing the three bowls on the table to shiver, only the one held by Jiang Liu was safe and sound, "I dare to say that I am bad, he can't even draw the bow, and he Not as good as my father!"
Jiang Erye was frail and sickly since he was a child. Mrs. Jiang Tai not only used medicine to condition his body, but also invited a martial artist into the mansion to teach him boxing and kung fu to keep him fit.
After more than 20 years of perseverance, the results are remarkable: First, Jiang Erye has learned a few sets of flower boxing and embroidery legs that are not very useful, and he feels a little more chivalrous than others, and he is quite complacent; second, the weakest Jiang Er When Grandpa grew up, he became the physically strongest of the three brothers. He was the only one of the three brothers who could draw the bow, which made Jiang Erye very proud.
Able to draw a bow but miss a hundred shots. When Jiang Erye was practicing arrows, no one dared to enter the target radius of two meters, because it was completely unpredictable where his arrow would hit after it left the string.
Jiang Liu can memorize the dark history of Daddy's archery accidentally hurting people and animals for an hour. After drinking the milk, she said slowly, "Daddy-daddy-now-is-great-great."
"That's it!" Jiang Erye, who had learned a few tricks from Jiang Bao, turned from anger to triumph, "Father's sweat is not in vain!"
"Father-next-time, frighten-death-they-they!" Jiang Liu clenched his small fists, and the Meng family's children ranted wildly outside, indicating that the Meng family's adults often spoke ill of Daddy behind their backs. This is unbearable!
"Okay! Daddy wants to let them know what it means to be 'three days apart, look at it with admiration'!" Jiang Erye was full of pride.
"That's right!" Jiang left Dad to encourage him. The rapid progress came from a low starting point. Dad can now hit the target, and the progress is great!
Jiang Muyan asked Jiang Ling in a low voice, "Since it was Meng Tingfang who caused the trouble, why did it hurt... Meng Tingwan?"
yes! Jiang Erye and Jiang Liu both turned to look at Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling explained, "Meng Tingfang did not dare to compare with Er in archery, but with fists and feet..."
"This is his own fight!" Jiang Erye gloated at the misfortune, how good his son's fists and feet are, which has been vividly reflected in Saburo.
"That's right!" Jiang Liu also followed, Meng Tingfang really dug a hole and buried himself.
Jiang Muyan urged again, "Then what?"
"Of course he is not my opponent. Meng Tingwan came to persuade him after hearing the news. He didn't bother Meng Tingfang but grabbed my arm, so I pushed him away. He wasn't hurt, just pretended."
The person who said it didn't feel anything, but the person who listened was furious, "Meng Tingwan is not trying to persuade him to fight, he rushed up to take a side fight because Meng Tingfang couldn't beat you! The Meng family has been a hypocrite from old to young, pretending to be! "
"Bad-people!" Jiang Liu was also angry, "Brother-brother-injured-are you?"
Jiang Ling shook his head, just relying on those two weak chickens, how could he hurt him.
"Then..." As soon as Jiang Muyan opened her mouth, Zhao Xiuqiao entered, "Second Master, the old lady asked you to take Young Master Ling to the North Courtyard."
After Jiang Erye took Jiang Ling away, Jiang Muyan whispered, "Father and Jiang Ling must have misunderstood. Brother Tingwan will not be sidelined, let alone put on airs."
Jiang Liu saw her little sister's worried appearance, and said, "Sister, let's go."
"Where to go?"
"garden."
Jiang Liu took his sister around to the westernmost side of the garden and stood under the high courtyard wall. The Meng Jiang family lived next to each other, separated only by this fence. To the west of the wall was the Meng family's study in the east courtyard. Jiang Liu heard Taozhi said that Meng Tingwan often read in this study.
Jiang Liu sent a book to Qiufangfeng, then folded a small tree stick and stared at the wall for a while. He used the small stick to pierce the cracks in the wall, made two small holes, and turned around and waved.
Jiang Muyan of course also knows where the other side of the wall is, but for the sake of seeing no evil and listening to no evil, it is wrong for my sister to do this. What should I do if someone finds out?
Jiang Muyan hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help the worry, and leaned over with her sister on the wall and looked over there.
In the courtyard of the study, Meng Tingwan's little book boy Zhujiu was sitting on the railing of the corridor of the study, his legs swaying to pass the boring time.
Zhujiu is here, Meng Tingwan must be in the study. Sure enough, the little sisters Jiang Liu didn't wait long when they saw Meng Tingwan come out of the study room, and saw that he was standing upright with a pen, completely different from when he was helped into the car in front of the academy.
After Meng Tingwan took Zhujiu away, Jiang Liu straightened up, looked at his sister, and whispered, "Pretend."
Jiang Muyan didn't say anything, but Jiang Liu could see that she didn't believe it.
So early the next morning, when Jiang Liu and his sisters went out to Wang's house to learn the piano, they deliberately dawdled at the door for a while, so that her sister could see what Meng Ting looked like when she went out late.
Jiang Muyan saw with her own eyes that Meng Tingwan, who was walking freely in the study room in the East Court yesterday, was supported by Zhu Jiu and walked out, her left arm dangling weakly when she got into the car.
When Meng Ting left the car at night, Jiang Liu said to his sister who was holding Qin dumbly, "Pretend."
The carriage wandered for a long time before Jiang Muyan asked in a low voice, "Why did he do this?"
"Liu-er-no-know-dao." Some things, she had to see clearly and understand herself before she could turn this corner, Jiang Liu didn't say it clearly.
Fifth sister Jiang Mujin came over, "Third sister, sixth sister, who are you talking about?"
Jiang Muyan said quickly, "I didn't say anyone, Fifth Sister's piano cover is so beautiful."
Jiang Mujin leaned over to Sanjie and shook her arm, "Sanjie, if, I mean, if my piano is not good today, can I use the piano that Fourth Uncle Chai gave you to practice?"
Fourth Uncle Chai brought two pianos. The second uncle asked the sixth sister to use the newly acquired piano. The second sister gave the piano originally prepared for the sixth sister. The third sister still used the piano left by the second aunt. Jiang Mujin wanted to ask for it. .
Jiang Muyan is not stingy, "Of course you can."
"Third sister is so nice." Jiang Mujin smiled so that two small pear eddies appeared at the corners of her mouth, which was very cute.
The carriage of the Jiang family arrived at the same time as the Meng family, so after the five sisters of the Jiang family got off the carriage, they faced the three sisters of the Meng family face to face.
Meng Yamei was the first to attack, "Smelly Jiangliu! Your brother dares to discount my brother's arm, I must avenge my brother!"
