Zhen Baolu didn't think too much. After all, she still understood the principle of gradual progress. Now she quietly stood beside the two old ladies with her sister.

The old lady Xue was a veteran. Seeing the little girl being well-behaved, she naturally praised her for her face, which made Zhen Baolu feel much more relieved.

Later, Zhen Baolu saw a lively and cheerful little girl coming in outside. The little girl had a round face, wearing a pink robe, and was about the same age as her. Listening to her sister's name, she knew that this was Xue Yifang, the only girl in the eldest son of Duke Anguo's mansion.

Xue Yifang was one year older than her, and Zhen Baolu called out to her cousin.

Xue Yifang is a lively and charming girl, and she is young. On weekdays, Xue Yifang is the most pleased by Mrs. Xue. At this moment, Xue Yifang looked at the round and petite little cousin beside Zhen Baoqiong. Thinking that it seemed a little different from the rumors, she immediately smiled and said, "Cousin Lu is so beautiful, like a little fairy under the Queen Mother's seat."

Old Mrs. Xue laughed, reached out and pinched Xue Yifang's cheek, and said, "You are the best at speaking." Although she was muttering, her tone was full of pampering.

Xue Yifang muttered.

Zhen Baolu thought to herself that Xue Yifang was so happy to be with her elders. She was cute and laughed, and had a sweet mouth. Not to mention her elders, she also liked her. Although she had no friendship with Xue Yifang in her previous life, she remembered that she married well.

The young girl quickly became familiar with each other, but now there was an elder present. Xue Yifang, who had always been lively, didn't dare to talk too much, so she just put her face on her face and said in a low voice to Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu: "Cousin Qiong, cousin Lu, when we just came here, we saw my second brother playing in the yard and surrounding many people. It was so exciting. Should we go over and take a look?"

Old Mrs. Xue is a good-sounding person. Before Zhen Baoqiong could speak, she spoke, "It's okay if you love to play and make fun of yourself, don't mess with your cousin."

Xue Yifang pouted dissatisfied and said that she hadn't.

Old Mrs. Xue had no choice but to use her granddaughter and compromised, "Okay, it's boring for you little girls to accompany the old man, go out to play." She was so indulgent to be with her granddaughter outside, which shows how she was pampered on weekdays.

And Mrs. Zhen also smiled and agreed.

Xue Yifang nodded with a smile, and then went to the yard with Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu to watch the fun.

As soon as he left the front hall, Xue Yifang immediately lost her worries and chattered like a little sparrow, saying, "I see that my second brother likes to throw pots the most, I think he will definitely get the first place."

The second brother Xue Yifang mentioned is Xue Tan, the second son of the eldest son of Duke Anguo Mansion.

Zhen Baolu knew that there was a reason why Xue Yifang was so confident, after all, Xue Tan was indeed excellent.

The three little girls walked to the yard where the competition was throwing pots, and saw a group of young young men in luxurious clothes throwing pots.

The Zhou Dynasty did not have much constraints on women. At present, the three little girls came to see the pot with their maids, so it was not a big deal. Even if they had to go over and compete together, there was no problem. But it was nothing for the girls in the boudoir to play privately. If they wanted to compete with men, they would be humiliating themselves. In this kind of competition, where is the girl's family the man's opponent?

When Zhen Baolu saw that Xu Jinxin and Xu Xiuxin were also there, she immediately thought of something and looked into the crowd and saw that Xu Chenglang was also there.

Yes, Xu Chenglang is not only a gentle nobleman, but also very good at throwing pots.

He had given her private advice.

Zhen Baolu didn't want to look at Xu Chenglang, so she slid her eyes slightly and saw the young man in brocade robe beside Xu Chenglang.

That's...

The one who picked crabapple flowers for her!

Zhen Baolu was a little stunned now.

Seeing the three little girls next to him, Xue Tan came over, who happened to be throwing in. When Xue Yifang saw her brother, she raised her little face happily and asked, "Second brother, how are you?"

Xue Tan was tall and handsome, and was quite similar to Xu Chenglang's temperament, but his temperament seemed to be happier than Xu Chenglang. He looked at his sister dotingly and said, "Guess."

Xue Yifang pouted and expressed dissatisfaction. Then Xue Tan talked to her sister.

After the first few rounds of competition, there are only five people left, Xue Tan is one of them, and Xu Chenglang from Changning Marquis' Mansion...

When Xue Yifang heard her elder brother, her eyes wide open and she exclaimed, "Brother is actually having fun too."

Xue Tan nodded and looked at his half-brother who stood not far away. Seeing that he was taciturn and was the most incompatible on weekdays, he was just a polite invitation and knew that he would not join. Unexpectedly, he nodded, and what was even more unexpected was...

"Brother is not only good at playing, but also very awesome." Xue Tan said with a smile.

Even Zhen Baoqiong, who was originally quiet, was a little surprised and said, "My cousin is hidden."

The rest of the people on this end have all voted, and there are only three people left, Xue Rang and Xue Tan from Duke Anguo Mansion, and Xu Chenglang from the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

Xue Tan raised his hand and pinched Xue Yifang's cheek, and then said politely to the two cousins: "I'm over."

The game became more and more exciting, and the onlookers stood together and discussed, guessing who would win among the three. Most of them supported Xue Tan and Xu Chenglang, and Xu Chenglang's voice was slightly higher than Xue Tan.

When Zhen Baolu saw the tall boy standing beside Xue Tan and Xu Chenglang, she naturally knew that this was Xue Rang, the eldest son of Duke Anguo’s mansion.

It turns out that he is Xue Rang.

Xue Yifang said excitedly: "Cousin Qiong, Cousin Lu, who do you think will win the three of them?"

Zhen Baoqiong shook his head and smiled and said, "I don't understand very much."

Xue Yifang asked Zhen Baolu.

Zhen Baolu was stunned and glanced at the three teenagers who were playing, and barely met Xu Chenglang's look in his eyes. If it were before, she would definitely think that Xu Chenglang would win without hesitation, but now...

Xu Xiuxin, who was next to him, turned her head and smiled, "My cousin Lu likes to follow my brother the most in her daily life. This time, she naturally thinks that my brother will win, right?" Xu Xiuxin still remembers the unhappiness just now, but today she is a guest, so she listens to her mother's words obediently, which is different from Zhen Baolu's experience.

Zhen Baolu glanced at Xu Xiuxin indifferently, ignored her at all, and said to Xue Yifang with a smile: "I think the two cousins ​​Xue are quite amazing."

Xue Yifang stood up straight and said proudly: "Yes." As a sister, of course she also hopes that others will be optimistic about her brother. As a result, Xue Yifang likes this very beautiful little cousin more and more.

Seeing that Zhen Baolu ignored her, Xu Xiuxin snorted softly. When she heard that she was optimistic about the two people in the Xue family, she muttered in a low voice: "Just right and wrong." Xu Xiuxin felt that Zhen Baolu must have said this to the contrary to her.

When Xu Chenglang meets the last team and throws the winner into Hukou, the outcome is obviously decided.

Even Xue Rang threw the last arrow into it. According to the rules, Xu Chenglang won. This is the benefit of first shooting.

Zhen Baolu looked at the boy in blue robe and saw that his eyebrows were faint, as if she didn't care much.

Somehow, Zhen Baolu felt a pity for him.

After all, his strength is not inferior to Xu Chenglang, but he is just a little bit short of time.

Although the outcome has been decided, Xue Rang still has to throw the last arrow.

But the blindfolded boy raised his hand and threw the feather arrow into the mouth of the pot. Hearing a "bang", another feather arrow bounced out of the pot.

The top of the feather arrow that was popped up is green.

Xue Yifang reacted first among the group of little girls and exclaimed: "Brother is so awesome!"

Xue Tan, who lost, couldn't help but look at his elder brother with admiration. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Okay!"

Yes, Xue Rang won the game.

The tops of the feather arrows that were thrown by the two were distinguished by color. Xue Rang was blue and Xu Chenglang was green. Although Xu Chenglang had all invested all five branches, when Xue Rang's fifth branch was invested, one of Xu Chenglang's arrows popped out. Now there are nine arrows in the mouth of the pot, five blue and four green. Who wins and loses, which is clear at a glance.

Xu Chenglang is a humble gentleman and does not value the outcome. Most of the time, he retains his strength and does not show his strength. However, his little cousin was angry with him before, and when he saw her coming, he naturally wanted to win and make her happy, so he tried his best.

And this Xue Rang did not fight, but during the throwing process, he could clearly feel the retention of his strength... Why didn't he find such a strong opponent before?

Xu Chenglang smiled at Xue Rang and said, "Young Master Xue is really amazing, I admire you again."

Xue Rang looked at him, as if he had thought of something, and a little distant appeared between his eyebrows and said, "Cheng Rang."

Xu Chenglang was as meticulous as dust, and naturally knew how to observe his words and expressions. The other party's inexplicable hostility made him a little confused. He just smiled slightly, and then he closed his eyebrows thoughtfully.

After talking to Xu Chenglang, Xue Rang saw Xue Tan and Xue Yifang coming over. He was also following Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu.

Xue Yifang dared not get close to this elder brother on weekdays, but now she really admired him and said happily: "Brother is so powerful, even better than the second brother." She was so happy, as if she was the one who won.

Xue Yifang showed admiration on her face, and even the gentle Zhen Baoqiong was full of admiration.

But what about her?

Xue Rang slowly raised his eyes and looked at the little girl with a childish face with a bud. He saw her standing quietly beside her sister, without any excitement or smile on her round and fair face.

Xue Rang held the lottery winning from Xu Chenglang in his hand, and he knew it very well.
