The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 647 Father and Daughter

When Mu Qingchen came over, Zhong Ding shut up immediately, and went to find Zhou Tong and the others with his horse and cue.

Mu Qingchen looked at Zhong Ding's back and asked, "What were you talking about just now? Why did he leave as soon as he saw me?"

"Nothing." Gu Jiao said.

She doesn't like to gossip, let alone spread gossip.

She paused, Xu felt that she still had to answer Mu Qingchen's words, and added, "I didn't mention you."

Mu Qingchen didn't ask any more questions.

He could almost guess that the arrival of King Mingjun caused a bit of a commotion. Although King Mingjun did not identify himself, most of the students here were from Shengdu. uncertain.

"Are you picking the cue?" Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao's non-stop changing of the cue and asked.

"En." Gu Jiao responded lightly.

Not a single club in hand.

Mu Qingchen left without saying a word, Gu Jiao didn't care, and continued to choose clubs.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Mu Qingchen came back again, holding a horse and an extra cue in his hand: "Here."

Gu Jiao glanced at him, took the club he handed over, weighed it, and made a gesture. It was heavier than those clubs, but the weight was just right for her who was used to using the red-tasseled gun.

"Thank you." Gu Jiao thanked him, then looked at him and said, "What do you use?"

"This." Mu Qingchen randomly grabbed a cue in the basket, and got on the horse: "I'll take you to get acquainted."

Gu Jiao also got on her horse: "Okay."

Mu Qingchen first introduced to Gu Jiao the requirements and rules of Jujube. Jujube was first passed down from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. As soon as it entered Yanguo, it was loved by the royal relatives and relatives, and it gradually became popular in the circle of dignitaries. Today, many aristocratic academies have incorporated Jujube into their courses.

Tianqiong Academy does not have kowtowing classes, but Wu Fuzi often leads students to do kowtowing.

Judging puts high demands on horses, and all judging horses must undergo very strict training, which is far more difficult than war horses.

Kowtowing has high requirements on the bowman. Riding skills, skill, physical strength, willpower, and on-the-spot resilience are all indispensable.

"Shooting the ball into the opponent's hole wins."

Mu Qingchen went on to explain, "But remember, don't collide head-on to intercept, don't hit your opponent with a club or interfere with your opponent's horse, and don't touch the ball with your body. These are the main taboos. There will inevitably be some accidental conflicts during the game. So protect yourself too."

he said,

Pointing to the protective gear carried over by the young servant of the academy, he said, "The protective gear has arrived, put it on, and start a formal round."

Gu Jiao put on elbow pads and knee pads, put on palm pads, and went on stage with Mu Qingchen.

She tried all four positions in turn, and it was not bad, but the most amazing shot was the one she shot when she was in the bow.

The ball was passed to her by Mu Qingchen, and under Wu Fuzi's interference, the pass actually missed a bit. Unexpectedly, she hooked the ball over her head accurately, and then hit it out with a kick. At a clear distance, she froze and hit the ball into the hole.

Everyone was amazed by this shot.

This momentum, this accuracy, is simply a natural striker!

Mu Qingchen rode to Gu Jiao's side, and took a deep look at her: "Is this really your first time to kill?"

Gu Jiao nodded.

Mu Qingchen hesitated to speak, but in the end he only said: "That shot just now was very skillful."

Gu Jiao thought about it seriously, and said, "Well, this is probably the legendary talent?"

Mu Qingchen: "..."

The training in the afternoon ended quickly. Gu Jiao played for the first time. Compared with Mu Qingchen, who had been kicked since childhood, her game skills were naturally a little green, but it basically met Wu Fuzi's expectations. Foul if you don't pay attention.

It's easy to get sent off that way.

Wu Fuzi said: "The competition is seven days away. In the past few days, everyone should hurry up and train."

Wu Fuzi selected a total of 20 people, only four of them actually played, and there were several substitutes.

In the next few days, Gu Jiao would stay in the academy to train with Mu Qingchen and others after school, and Gu Xiaoshun was sitting by the grass field waiting for her.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the game.

Wu Fuzi called everyone to the grass field, and announced the players selected based on the training performance of the past few days. Not surprisingly, the first one was Mu Qingchen.

The other three are Gu Jiao, Yuan Xiao from Mingfengtang, and Zhao Wei from Mingyuetang.

Mu Chuan was the substitute.

Since Gu Xiaoshun often waited for Gu Jiao on the pasture, he became a logistics team leader and went to the competition with them.

Master Wu smiled and said, "There will be no training today. Everyone, go back and rest early, recharge your batteries, and head to Lingbo Academy tomorrow morning."

...

After returning to the house, Gu Jiao told her family about going to the inner city for the game tomorrow morning.

Gu Yan suddenly said: "I also want to watch your game."

Gu Jiao looked at Gu Yan and nodded, "Okay."

Before going to bed, Gu Jiao checked Gu Yan's body again, and it has become Gu Jiao's habit to check Gu Yan's body twice sooner or later.

Gu Yan lay on the bed, obediently lifted up her shirt, and asked Gu Jiao to put the stethoscope on it.

His condition has not deteriorated too much for the time being, and it is not a big problem just to go to a game.

After Gu Jiao returned to the room, she put the stethoscope back into the small medicine box, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

What Gu Jiao didn't expect was that she had a dream again at night.

The reason for saying again is because this is not the first time she has had a dream since she came to Shengdu, but every time she wakes up, she doesn't remember what she dreamed.

The sky in the dream is gray, and I can't tell the time.

She was outside a secluded courtyard, and in front of her was a vermilion courtyard door. Some naughty kid scratched a few nicks on the door with the tip of a knife.

It's very strange, why did she subconsciously think that it was caused by a little guy being naughty? What if the servant bumped into it while moving things?

She pushed open the courtyard door and stepped into the courtyard.

A cluster of green bamboos is planted in the corner on the left hand side, and rows of bell flowers are planted on both sides against the courtyard wall. The bell flowers rustle when the breeze blows by.

This is a strange yet familiar courtyard.

Strangeness is because Gu Jiao has never been here before, and familiarity is because although she has been here before, she still vaguely knows which room is used for.

Starting from the east end of the corridor, the first room is the wing room, the second room is the upper room, the third room is the study room, and the storeroom is turned around.

Gu Jiao looked at the whole row of houses in front of her strangely.

There was a voice coming from behind the half-covered study door.

"Yinyin, it's time to practice calligraphy, come here quickly."

"Don't be lazy. Oh, you're hiding again, aren't you?"

"How many times have I told you that I have to practice a hundred words every day."

The owner of this voice is——

Just when Gu Jiao couldn't figure it out, the door of the study opened, and a man in a blue gown stepped out.

Gu Jiao recognized him immediately.

It's the Duke of the country.

At this time, the Duke of the State was still very young, handsome and handsome, and he was completely different from the haggard middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed.

So why she recognized him at a glance, she herself didn't know.

In short, as soon as this man came out, his identity was in her mind.

"Voice."

Men started looking in every house.

"Yinyin, don't hide, it's time to practice calligraphy."

"Okay, I won't force you to practice calligraphy, let's go out to play, you come out."

"Voice."

"Voice!"

"Where did you go, Yinyin!"

The young Duke's voice became tense.

"Yinyin, don't scare me, come out!"

"Where have you been, Yinyin?"

"Father misses you very much, Yinyin, come out quickly!"

His eyes were red, tears rolled in his eyes, and his voice trembled and choked unconsciously: "Yinyin...Yinyin...Daddy misses you, Yinyin..."

He staggered and fell down the steps.

Gu Jiao subconsciously stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to help him.

Gu Jiao was at the door, and he was on the steps. There was an entire courtyard between them.

She put her hand down again.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door: "Yinyin!"

Gu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, she opened her eyes abruptly, and woke up from her sleep.

The dream in her mind faded like the tide, and she soon couldn't remember what happened in the dream, only a panicked handsome face.

"It's a bit like a prince."

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows.

Did she see the Duke too many times, so she dreamed of him?

After dawn, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun, and Gu Yan were all ready to go.

Gu Yan's body was weak and it was difficult for him to walk. Fortunately, Master Lu made a wheelchair for him.

Master Lu drove the three of them to Tianqiong Academy.

Wu Fuzi set off from the academy with everyone, Mu Qingchen and Mu Chuan returned to the inner city last night, and they went to Lingbo Academy by themselves.

Gu Jiao wanted to take Gu Yan with her, but Dean Cen and Master Wu had no objections.

A group of people entered the inner city in a carriage.

On the other side, Second Master Jing also pushed his eldest brother out of the yard in a wheelchair.

"Hey! What are you going to do?" The second lady stopped him and asked.

Second Master Jing looked at the elder brother in the wheelchair, and said to the second wife: "Today there is a kick-jumping match, I will take elder brother to see it."

The second lady hurriedly said: "Brother is like this, you still want to take him out?"

Second Master Jing said seriously: "Brother is much better, I saw him open his eyes last night!"

The second lady glared at him: "Is that eye opening?"

After opening it, I was stunned, didn't know how to close it, and didn't respond to talking to him, so it was simply eyelid twitching, right?

The second lady said hehe: "I think you want to go to the Juju for yourself! What kind of pretense are you using big brother!"

Second Master Jing cleared his throat: "Ahem! Aren't I worried about leaving Eldest Brother alone at the house? Assassins always come to assassinate Elder Brother, so I have to see Elder Brother in person to be at ease. Besides, the imperial doctor also let us Push Big Brother out to bask in the sun more!"

The second lady said coldly: "Are you going to see the Juju, or those little beauties in Canglan Academy!"

Second Master Jing said domineeringly: "Of course I'm going to see Juju!"

By the way, look at the little beauties... people.

The second lady frowned and muttered: "But there is something wrong with the house today, so I can't leave."

You're right if you can't leave.

How can I see the little beauty after you go?

Second Master Jing said with a smile: "You are busy with your work, come over when you are done, I will reserve a seat for you!"

The second lady gave Second Master Jing a cold look.

Second Master Jing swaggered and pushed his elder brother away.

The second wife called a servant: "You go and serve the second master, remember to keep an eye on the second master, don't tell him to go outside... nonsense!"

The boy responded, "Yes, ma'am!"

...

As the venue for the competition, Lingbo Academy gave the students a holiday today. Although Canglan Women's Academy did not declare a holiday, it basically arranged self-study. Most of the students went to Lingbo Academy to watch the competition.

Lingbo Academy has the largest shooting arena in the inner city, and stands are set up on the seats with the widest view on both sides.

"I'm going to watch Juju!"

In the dormitory of Linglong Pavilion, Xiao Jingkong protested to the bad brother-in-law who forced him to study.

"No." Xiao Heng said.

Xiao Jingkong frowned on the spot: "You are such a bad brother-in-law! You don't even show me the martial arts!"

Xiao Heng said indifferently: "There are so many people, you are so young, you don't even know if you are trampled on."

"I've grown taller! I'm not small anymore! I, I, I... I'm so tall!" Xiao Qingkong stood on tiptoe, trying to gesture upwards from the top of his head.

Xiao Heng glanced at him, and continued to flip through the books in his hand.

Little Clearance is really mad.

He's going to run away from home for the second time!

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Xiao Jingkong asked.

The bad brother-in-law pretends to be dumb because he can't speak a female voice.

The girl outside the house smiled and said, "It's clear, is your sister there? We're here to invite her to watch the kick-jumping match next door."

Xiao Jingkong looked at Xiao Heng as if he had seen a ghost: "Someone actually invited you to watch the game?"

The bad brother-in-law is so bad that he has no friends!

Xiao Heng didn't move.

The small headroom is crazy!

It's good for someone to be your friend, but you still hate it!

Xiao Jingkong snorted: "If you don't go, I will!"

Xiao Heng didn't even raise his eyelids: "Oh."

Xiao Jingkong resolutely abandoned the bad brother-in-law, came to the door, looked at the three daughters outside the house with a cute face, and said: "My sister won't go with you, I will go with you!"

The three of them were taken aback.

The girl who spoke just now said: "Ah, this is still not enough... How dare we take you out without your sister's consent?"

They didn't really invite this foreigner as a friend, but only by inviting her could they get a good seat.

Those sons of aristocratic families have already reserved the best venues, and they are eager to leave it to the number one beauty in their academy!

The three of them didn't give up, and thought of something, one of them looked at the scholarly beauty in the room and said: "I heard that Tianqiong Academy is also participating, and Mr. Qingchen will be on stage, don't you really want to go and see?"

Xiao Heng paused while reading the book.

...

A quarter of an hour later, the first beauty of Canglan Women's Academy appeared in the killing field of Lingbo Academy wearing a veil and leading a little black baby.

A large wave of famous guards swarmed up!

"Miss Gu! My son has already set up the stands, please move, Miss Gu!"

"Miss Gu! My son has also set up stands! Miss Gu, please come with me!"

"Miss Gu!"

"Miss Gu!"

Xiao Heng showed a piece of paper: "Where is the stand of Tianqiong Academy?"

A well-dressed guard raised his hand: "Here! Here! The grandstand my son ordered is next to Tianqiong Academy!"

Grandpa: Who is this guy next to me? I looked a little uncomfortable.
