The Blessed Princess
Chapter 40 My Father Teaches Horse Riding and Archery
After the Wei family roamed the streets, Wei Mingting took them to the school grounds.
The school grounds were where the soldiers were training, once outsiders were not allowed to enter here, not even family members from the school captain's house.
Recently, however, the soldiers had held out on the front lines, and the usual training ground had been converted into a place closer to the east gate, so the school grounds were now unused, with only a few guards guarding the gate.
Wei Mingting brought some children here, and wanted to use this rare vacation time to teach them how to ride horses.
Among the few children, except for the oldest boy who could ride a horse, he had not had time to teach them the rest.
Wei Mingting plans to let his two daughters try horseback riding, and it just so happens that he and his eldest son teach each other.Wei Mingting chooses to teach Wei Ruo, and hands Wei Qingwan's teaching job to the eldest son.
As for Wei Yilin's youngest son, Yun Shi noticed and practiced riding a pony.
Wei Yilin usually behaved like a monkey at home, but today when Wei Mingting was present, she was much more well-behaved, and she did not dare to be petty.
Wei Mingting led his "Sickle" mount to Wei Ruo, and asked Wei Ruo, "Ruoer, do you dare to try it?"
Wei Ruo nodded, he had never ridden a horse in such a long journey!
"Dad, let me teach you, this stirrup, you have to put your feet here, this saddle, and this is control ..." Wei Mingting carefully explained the precaution of horse riding to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo listened carefully, and when Wei Mingting finished speaking and asked him to try, Wei Ruo stepped on the stirrup without hesitation, turned around and sat on it.
The movements are neat and uncontrollable, done all at once, without hesitation or fear.
Wei Mingting was still thinking about whether to find a bench for his daughter to rest on, but Wei Ruo had already boarded it.
After reacting, Wei Mingting smiled and said, "Ruo'er, you are more resolute than your elder brother. I think your older brother hesitated for a long time when he first learned to ride a horse."
Wei Yichen, who was in charge of teaching Wei Qingwan next to him, heard his father bury him, and protested with a smile: "My master, father, why did you even tell my sister about this? Where are you going to put my sister?" brother's face?" Wei
Mingting He replied: "I got my face, not that my father would cover it for you."
Wei Yichen hurriedly said: "Well, my son is useless, not as good as my sister Ruo'er! Our Ruo'er is a hero among women, Women do not give way to men!"
Hearing Wei Yichen's praise, the praised Wei Ruo felt nothing, but Wei Qingwan, who was beside Wei Yichen, lowered his head in frustration.
As soon as Wei Yichen turned his head, he saw Wei Qingwan's sad expression with his head bowed.
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Wei Yichen asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little too stupid. I'm not as good as my brother, who can quickly master the basics of horseback riding..." "Wanwan, I don't think so.
Ruo 'er is good at things that Ruo'er does not master. For example, Wanwan, the cakes you make are delicious, and your embroidery, calligraphy, and poetry are all amazing. This was incomparable to Ruo'er. Wanwan no. I don't have to do everything at my best, it's too tiring." Wei Yichen comforted.
"Yes." Yeah." Wei Qingwan agreed in a low voice.
"Okay, brother will continue to teach you." Wei Yichen continued to patiently explain the essence of horseback riding to Wei Qingwan.
As soon as Wei Yichen spoke to Wei Qingwan, he saw Wei Ruo riding a horse and running around the grass field of the school grounds.
Wei Ruo on the horseback smiled flamboyantly, fearlessly riding a horse for the first time.
Seeing the appearance of his mischievous and unrestrained daughter, Wei Mingting heaved a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect Ruo'er to be the person who looked the most like me. If he's a boy, he might be able to fight with my father and son." Yun also noticed that her husband was looking at his daughter
After all, Ruo'er was the biological daughter of their husband and wife, and she had the shadow of a husband on her body.
Thinking of this, Yun's view on Wei Ruo had softened Ever since the last incident, Yun's attitude towards Wei Ruo was much colder, but today's meeting had made Yun's psychology a little different.
After driving for a while, Wei Mingting brought a bow and arrow to try again by Wei Ruo.
"Working is different from riding a horse. That's gonna be harder. Just try. If it doesn't work, don't push yourself," Wei Mingting said first.
Wei Mingting originally planned to teach his two daughters how to ride horses today, and did not intend to let them try archery, after all, archery was still too difficult for the girls.
But Wei Ruo's driving performance just now made Wei Mingting change his mind.
Wei Mingting gave Wei Ruo a demonstration, nodding, drawing, and shooting.
Wei Mingting seemed to be born a warrior, born a warrior. As soon as he got the bow and arrow in his hand, his aura changed. There was an indescribable majesty and bravery, and his tense muscles seemed to be able to burst forth without limits of strength.
And the arrow he shot confirmed this as well. The arrow was on target.
Wei Mingting put the bow into Wei Ruo's hands, and said, "Ruo'er, come and try." "
Okay." Okay." Wei Ruo took a bow, imitated Wei Mingting's actions just now, took an arrow from where the arrow was, and set it on the bow, on the bowstring.
Wei Ruo started very quickly, and soon mastered the basics of archery, and managed to shoot an arrow.
But its power and accuracy are very limited:
in terms of strength, Wei Mingting could draw the bow into a "full moon", but Wei Ruo could only reach the "gibbing moon"
; Of the ten arrows fired, only two fell on the target.
While watching Wei Mingting shoot an arrow, he didn't think it was very difficult, but after he started, he realized that it wasn't something anyone could do.
Wei Ruo glanced at the bow and arrow in his hand with a hint of annoyance, why is a broken arrow so difficult to set?
Wei Mingting looked at his daughter's little expression and smiled: "Ruoer, don't worry, take your time, you've only tried it for the first time today, so it's already very tasty." Wei Mingting did not comfort Wei
Ruo , that's really not bad, Not to mention a girl, even a man might not be able to increase Wei Ruo's archery speed for the first time.
Not far from there, Wei Qingwan, who was still learning to ride horses with Wei Yichen, saw Wei Mingting's friendly expression towards Wei Ruo.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Qingwan said to Wei Yichen: "Brother, I also want to try archery." "
Okay, I'll take you there." Wei Yichen did not know what Wei Qingwan was thinking, he said he wanted to go archery, so he took her there.
Today, I take my younger siblings to the schoolyard to play, it doesn't matter whether I study or not, which is important I have fun.
Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan came to Wei Mingting, and after explaining the situation to Wei Mingting, Wei Mingting asked his subordinates to bow again.
After Wei Qingwan took the bow, mimicking Wei Mingting's demonstration, she prepared to draw the bow.
In the original novel, the father dies in battle not long after, so the subsequent death of his original owner (Wei Ruo) has nothing to do with his father.
