Chapter 116



Until Jiang Shang walked away, Jiang Yilin couldn't believe her ears.

I was extremely shocked.

Her expression was tearful, her beautiful eyes were broken, and there was an indescribable viciousness.

However, the place was filled with guests and it was very lively, so no one paid any attention to her.

On the stage, Jiang Xiaolang opened the lion's head to reveal his own face, smiling charmingly, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my sister's ancestral reunion banquet. Now, the four of us will present wonderful lion dance acrobatics to the guests, to congratulate my sister on her return to her ancestral home, and to reunite with her family, which is as happy as the morning light."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gongs and drums sounded like raindrops, lively and festive.

The four lions were boxing, doing somersaults, and climbing walls, each showing off their abilities.

Soon they returned to the stage together, head to tail, tail to head, and together they formed a huge lion-dragon, stacked like Arhats, with the ball rising into the sky, and phoenixes dancing in the sky...

The whole audience was immediately ignited by this series of wonderful performances!

The cries of children and screams of girls were heard everywhere. Even the elderly ladies in the families were watching with great interest. They all praised the troupe for being a good choice along with the Lian family.

Of course they all recognized Jiang Xiaolang, but he was alone and there were four people on the stage.

He must have collaborated with people from three other troupes.

Madam Qi looked at Madam Jiang with a stern look in her eyes and said angrily, "You, what you said is not true. I won't believe anything you say from now on!"

Madam Jiang was puzzled. "Where did this come from?"

"You thought your third brother was naughty and unlearned, but what I saw today is a good boy who is agile, affectionate and willing to dress up to entertain his parents."

The old lady looked at the four lions on the stage, who were no longer able to tell who was who, and shook her head.

She also didn't expect that the celebration program prepared by her three grandchildren for Sister Ying would be so true.

However, there are only three of them: Yi, Chen, and Lang. So who is the other one?

Before the old lady could figure out what was going on, the ladies in the audience were already discussing it enthusiastically.

"Did you see that just now? That's really Jiang Xiaolang!"

"Wow, Jiang Ying is so lucky. It's embarrassing to do such a thing. Many noble brothers spend a lot of money to watch it. Let them do it by themselves. Don't even think about it."

"But Jiang Xiaolang is willing to do this for his sister. He doesn't care about losing face, just to make his sister smile. I want a brother like this too!"

"Tsk! What's there to be jealous of? Jiang Xiaolang is famous for his beauty. He may not be good at other things, but he is good at this kind of little trick that is not presentable."

"You are so funny. Don't look at other people's tricks. I don't know who shouted the loudest just now."

Several ladies even quarreled over this.

Jiang Ying was sitting next to the old lady, at the front. He glanced to the side when he heard the argument, and several people were so frightened that they quickly fell silent.

At this time, the performance on the stage had a new twist.

There were four targets five meters in front of the stage. On the stage, four lions stood side by side with their hind legs looking majestic. They each held a bow and crossbow in their hands. Needless to say, they were ready to perform archery for everyone.

The most admired of today are the six arts.

Among the four arts of rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics, archery is particularly important and is the most important part of the martial arts examination.

Every year, the palace would hold spring hunting and autumn hunting, and order the princes of noble families to participate. The winner would receive generous rewards or a marriage.

Therefore, men admire those of the same sex who are good at archery, and women also admire those of the opposite sex who are good at archery.

In an instant, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented high.

Someone shouted, "Start! Start quickly! Let's see who can hit the target."

"Wow, a target this far away, can Jiang Gong shoot it?"

"It would be so embarrassing if I didn't shoot it."

"Who are the other three? Jiang Xiaolang has two older brothers. Will he be with them?"

Finally, someone subconsciously doubted the identities of the other three.

But he was soon refuted, "You said that among the four people, there are two Jiang Dagong and Jiang Ergong? How is that possible? One of them has an eye injury and the other has a brain problem. They must have been in the orphanage and have not left yet."

"Oh, this lion dance performance is so wonderful, it's the best and most difficult I've ever seen in my life. How can an injured person perform it?"

Everyone was suspicious at first, then they rejected it. Then everyone was scratching their heads like a cat, hoping that the four people on the stage would take down the lion head so that they could find out what was going on.

But the four apparently didn't want to reveal the mystery so quickly.

Everyone is ready to shoot at the target.

Jiang 꽮yi: Show off your skills to Sister Ying, let her see how powerful big brother is.

Jiang 꽮陈: Archery is a test of the combination of hand, eye and body. There is no better way to show my sister how to recover. I have to shoot well, or she will not let me go.

Jiang Xiaolang: Haha, you are ignorant, right? Today I will teach you to be more careful, otherwise I will be laughed at because of his incompetence!

Yan Zhuo: One year is one day less, what should I do to make her agree to get married?

The four of them had different thoughts, their eyes fixed on the red target in front of them, and they all revealed their determination to win that no one else could see.

In the audience, Mrs. Mu squeezed her daughter's hand.

"Hey, I say, have you really given up on Jiang Yuchen? I see that the power of the Jiang family is on the rise now. If we suddenly break off the engagement, they won't hate us, right?"

Mu Wanbai put down the half-eaten snack and said, "Mom, aren't you too timid? Did you look up and see if anyone from the Sun family is here? She and Jiang Yiyi are engaged, and they're not afraid. Why should I be afraid? We haven't even exchanged engagement cards."

"But..."

"Mom, please don't be so sad. The Jiang family has power, so what? I would rather die than marry a fool. Besides, can the Duke's Mansion compare to the Prince's Mansion?"

Madam Mu sighed, "The palace is good, but Yan Shan's reputation is flawed."

"What's the big deal? No matter how bad it is, it's better than being a fool."

Mu Wanbai couldn't control her contempt, and was completely unaware that every word she said had fallen into Jiang Yuchen's ears.

She said complacently, "Let it go. My daughter is sure to discipline Yanshan after she gets married. The princess has said that she will treat me as her own daughter and stand by me to urge Yanshan to change her bad habits. In this case, what else do I have to worry about?"

As for her and Jiang Yuchen's affair, it seemed that it was well hidden, but in fact many ladies knew about it.

This made it difficult for her to choose her husband's family.

Mu Wanbai regretted it more than once. If she had known this would happen, she should not have had private dealings with Jiang Yuchen. At that time, she thought he was a done deal, so she gave him the handkerchief on purpose. Who would have thought it would turn out like this later?

What bad luck!

Silver and iron arrows, sparks bursting, and momentum is like a rainbow.

Four people on the stage fired four arrows at the same time. The arrows flew into the air at a speed that broke through the air. After a while, the four iron arrows were firmly nailed on the red target.

"Good! Great cum!"

Snap, snap, snap——

There was exciting and shocking applause all around.

Amidst the uproar, Mu Wanbai stopped talking to Madam Mu. She stared at the stage and murmured, "This troupe's martial arts are pretty good. I'll ask which troupe it is later. When I get married, I'll invite them to show my respect."

Little did she know that Jiang Xiaochen's cold eyes, without a trace of warmth, had just passed by her position.
