Chapter 167 If the Fate Lasts Long (3)
"I was bored, so I came to take a look." Mingzhao's eyes swept over Shi Jianli's eyebrows, lingered on the pearl tassels in her hair for a moment, and then moved away, "Miss Shi."
Shi Jianli slightly bent her eyes and bowed, "Hello, Prince Ming."
Mingzhao smiled and nodded.
Ming Zhou and Xiang Shijianli introduced the middle-aged man who was still talking to Ming Zhao: "This is Master Chen who taught us horse riding and archery."
When Shi Jianli heard this, he said, "I'm here to study today. I hope Master Chen doesn't mind being a bother."
"Miss Shi, you are too polite. You have the Third Young Master with you, so it really isn't a bother. I can't teach the Third Young Master anything now."
As they were talking, Ming Zhouqing and Ming Yuelin also came over. Seeing Shi Jianli's unfamiliar face, they looked at her curiously.
When Ming Yuelin saw Li's appearance clearly, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Third brother, is she your cousin?"
"Yes, her last name is Shi. I told you a few days ago, I don't know if you still remember it." Ming Zhouhe nodded and introduced them to Shi Jianli: "This is my second brother and second sister."
Shi Jianli asked the two of them, "Second Master Ming, Second Miss Ming."
"Of course I remember." Ming Yuelin moved closer to her. "Excuse me, how old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"Well, I'm younger than you. You're Third Brother's sister, and so am I. Should I call you Sister? My name is Ming Yuelin, the same as Ming Yuelin, who is like the moon over the rivers and seas and the idle clouds longing for the mountains."
"Okay." Shi Jianli nodded with a smile, "My name is Shi Jianli."
"Sister Shi, you look so good."
Seeing the sincerity on her face, Shi Jianli's smile widened a little, "You look beautiful too."
He speaks nicely too.
Glancing at Ming Zhouhe's expression, Ming Zhouqing interrupted, "In that case, don't call me Second Young Master Ming anymore. Just follow Third Brother and call me Second Cousin."
"Okay, second cousin." Shi Jianli agreed calmly.
After everyone else arrived, they all went to the martial arts arena. Ming Zhouhe took Shi Jianli to choose a bow and asked her, "How heavy can you lift?"
"Let me pick one." Shi Jianli went to choose a bow and arrow of her usual weight and tried to pull the string. "This one will do."
"Then let's have a competition." Ming Zhouhe took his bow and led her to the edge so as not to affect each other. He said jokingly, "See how our sharpshooter can hit the target every time."
When he arrived in front of the target, he saw three targets next to each other in front. Shi Jianli took out three arrows from the quiver and held them on his fingertips. He aimed and pulled the string to its full extent. After letting go, the arrows flew into the wind.
The three arrows hit the three bull's eyes, and the feathers trembled.
She turned to look at Ming Zhouhe and raised her chin. "Well? Am I bragging?"
"No." Ming Zhouhe raised his eyebrows and praised generously, "It's really amazing."
She just made a quick visual estimate and shot the arrow without even aiming.
Mingzhao, who was standing not far away with Master Chen, also glanced at the target and caught a glimpse of the arrogance between her bright eyebrows, and his gaze paused for a moment.
A girl with a lively look and lively eyes.
"Prince?" Master Chen called him.
Mingzhao lowered his eyes and replied, "Well, I will send Tianjing to find a new martial arts master. Master Chen will have to take charge of the mathematics department for a few days."
On the other side, Mingyuelin was already asking Shi Jianli all sorts of questions with sparkling eyes, and they had even made an appointment on when to go hunting and when to play polo.
Ming Zhou and Huan Hu watched and felt that the scene before them was particularly familiar.
My cousin has always been very likable. When she was a child, she was always surrounded by a group of children who looked at her with admiration. Now is no exception. She easily attracted the attention of my second sister.
"Sister Shi, are you going back tomorrow?"
"Yes, I told my mother that I will be back tonight."
"Then I'll come to play with you the day after tomorrow?" Finally, there was a girl of the same age who also liked riding and archery and had a personality that was compatible with hers. Ming Yuelin now wished she could follow Shi Jianli and play with her every day.
Shi Jianli blinked and said, "Wait a few days. I have to help my mother. I can't just enjoy myself and make her anxious, right?"
Ming Yuelin couldn't help laughing when she heard her somewhat rhyming words. "Then if you have time, can you let someone tell me? Then I'll find you. Where is your home?"
"Over on Suzaku Street."
Ming Zhouqing couldn't bear to look at his own sister. It had only been a short time, and it seemed like she wanted to go home with someone.
Ming Yuelin glanced at Master Chen, then said to Shi Jianli, "Sister Shi, after I finish my archery practice, shall we go play football?"
Shi Jianli nodded, "Okay."
"Second brother, third brother, you can go too. You have nothing to do now anyway, so just supervise us practicing every day." It's hard to have fun without enough people.
Ming Zhouqing nodded, "Okay."
Ming Zhouhe: "Have lunch before going, otherwise you'll be hungry again before you even start playing for long, and then you won't have enough fun and will look pathetic with a droopy face."
Hearing the familiarity and harmony in their tone, Shi Jianli felt a little envious.
Her relationship with her cousins was not good at all. They were a bunch of greedy parasites who only hindered her father. Before he passed the imperial examination, her father had spent a lot of effort to get rid of them.
After her father passed the imperial examination, they shamelessly clung to her again, and were finally completely dealt with by her father.
"I know." Mingyuelin responded, and after saying something to Shijianli, he went to continue practicing archery.
Ming Zhouhe looked at Tokimitsu who was standing beside him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
The envy in his eyes was about to overflow.
Shi Jianli smiled and whispered, "I just suddenly felt that it's nice to have brothers and sisters so we can play together."
Ming Zhou and Wei Wei were silent for a moment, then replied, "Come over more often in the future. Mother will definitely be smiling when you come."
"Okay." She curved her eyes slightly, then deliberately asked with some dissatisfaction, "But is only aunt happy? When I left Beijing, I don't know who asked me to write to him every month. Now that I'm back in Beijing, you're not happy to see me?"
Ming Zhouhe laughed, "I'm happy too."
"That's more like it." She snorted.
After a competition between Shi Jianli and Ming Zhouhe, they were evenly matched. Every arrow they shot hit the bull's eye, and she even had a tendency to be better.
While chatting and laughing with Ming Zhouhe, he put away his bow and arrow. He noticed someone was looking at him. Shi Sianli turned his head and unexpectedly met Ming Zhao's eyes from a distance.
Their eyes met, and Mingzhao even slightly raised the corners of his lips and nodded towards her.
Shi Jianli tilted her head slightly, a little confused.
Tian Feng came in front of Ming Zhaohuan, bowed, and said, "Sir, there are military affairs waiting for your attention."
Mingzhao responded and left the martial arts field.
Ming Zhou looked in Ming Zhaohuan's direction and asked Shi Jianli, "Are you thirsty? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"good."
At noon, Mingyuelin warmly invited Shi Jianli to have lunch together and briefly introduced her to the other brothers and sisters in the mansion.
"Do you two want to play cuckoo?" Mingyuelin asked Mingyueshu and Mingyuesi.
