Dominate the ancient academy

After Shu Xiaoxiao made sure that there was no problem with the fields, she planned to attend class seriously. After all, for Shu Xiaoxiao who had helpers, the busiest times in the fields were planting and harvesting. She only had to give orders for watering, pest control, and so on.

I didn't expect that as soon as the teacher came here today, he issued a rule prohibiting gambling in the academy from now on.

Shu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Students who participated yesterday: "......"

It was quite sudden.

No one dared to gamble openly in the academy before. Although there were no clear regulations, no one thought that there would be students who would dare to gamble openly in the academy. It was also his fault that he did not stop his sister yesterday.

The main reason was that I didn't expect the academy to be so efficient. They also saw the teacher yesterday. I don't know if it was a student who reported it or if the academy's intelligence was just powerful. It seems like we have to be careful in the future.

But it’s a good thing that no one mentioned yesterday’s bet. It seems that yesterday’s matter will not be pursued.

Shu Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized that she was now a student studying martial arts. She didn't know there was a martial arts department before. Now she could ride horses and shoot arrows. Who would still want to memorize those boring eight-part essays?

And their course today is: shooting-archery.

They didn't start right away. The teacher first understood everyone's progress and then drew up a tutorial based on each person's general situation.

Thirty students were divided into two groups. The students in the first group could pull a bow of half a stone. One stone is 90 catties, and half a stone is 45 catties. These students had a basic foundation and a good foundation, and what they practiced was accuracy.

The second group has no basic skills or a poor basic skills. They will first play with an open string for half an hour to adapt their arm strength and correct their posture. They will be allowed to go up to the target only when their posture and arm strength are no longer a problem.

Shu Xiaoxiao found that the division of the two groups was very rigorous. The first group were all tall and strong. Although these two words were a bit exaggerated for children in their teens, they were very appropriate compared with the second group.

After dividing the students into groups, the teacher first explained the key points and then slowly adjusted their postures.

The task for their second group today is to shoot the arrow 50 times with an open string, while the task for the first group is to shoot the arrow 100 times. Since they are still young, the requirements will not be too strict now.

About half an hour, they can rest for a quarter of an hour, which is also to prevent them from getting injured.

As soon as the teacher left, Shu Tingfeng hurried to Shu Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, how about we cancel yesterday's bet?"

My sister is a girl, so it’s better for her to stay away from these things.

Hearing Shu Tingfei's voice, everyone looked at her. Shu Xiaoxiao adjusted her posture according to the teacher's requirements and said casually: "The teacher said that gambling is prohibited in the future, but he didn't say what happened in the past. We just don't gamble in the future. We can just do it quietly before."

The teacher didn't even mention their names, so the big things will surely be reduced to small things, and the small things will be eliminated. Do they really have to rush forward to accept the punishment?

She now finds that the military science is quite good. In the past, she only watched TV or the national Olympic competitions for archery. It was really that experts see the details while laymen see the excitement. She only saw the excitement before.

As an ordinary person, she really had never understood this. Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally had to study hard. She didn't need to be the top scorer in liberal arts, but if she was good at martial arts, it would be a skill. It's always good to have more skills! This could be much more interesting than writing an article.

Now that she has the opportunity to come into contact with them, she must study hard to make the most of her chance to return to the academy. In modern times, she is a standard science student. She really doesn't have much interest in liberal arts such as the Four Books and Five Classics, examination policies, and essay writing. But now she is quite interested in archery and horseback riding. In her previous life, she was an ordinary person and had no chance to come into contact with them. Now she naturally has to study hard. In the future, she will be a person with both civil and military skills.

Lu Leran sighed: "Ye Xiao, the new rules of the academy must be related to you."

His classmate looked weak, but it had only been a short time since the start of the school, and he had already asked the academy to add new rules. Who in the academy could do that? He always felt that he could do more in the future. He would communicate more with Ye Xiao in the future. He liked the hustle and bustle the most.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "I don't want to take the blame for this. I'm not the only one betting. I remember you also participated, right?"

Lu Leran: "...I...I just join in the fun." He was originally just curious. Everyone was talking about the agricultural product yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu. Later, seeing so many people participating, he only bet 100 taels. Who would have thought that the academy would clearly state today that gambling was prohibited. The academy did not have clear regulations before, and no ordinary person would dare to gamble in a place like a saintly place like the academy!

Shu Xiaoxiao: "The teacher just mentioned the new rules and didn't mention our names. If we don't gamble in the future, then everything will be fine."

Jin Shaolan also came over to join in the fun: "Then does our bet from yesterday still count?"

After asking, Shu Tingfei returned to his seat. Lu Leran and Jin Shaolan were next to Shu Xiaoxiao. They were both part of the second wave of people who were playing with empty strings.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Of course it counts! If the teachers didn't look for us, then it's fine. We can wait to divide the money later, but don't think about it in the future."

Jin Shaolan: "That's fine. I can gamble once in the academy, and I can tell others about it with dignity."

Well, does this have anything to do with face?

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Why are you in the second group if you want to save face?"

Jin Shaolan: "I didn't practice at home, otherwise I would definitely be in the first group. I want to go archery."

Lu Leran: "It's like we want to accompany you. We also want to shoot arrows. It's so boring to play with an empty string."

......

The two of them started chatting on their own next to Shu Xiaoxiao, which was not good for her as she was not familiar with them at all.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Stop talking nonsense, the quarter of an hour is almost up, the teacher should be here soon, we can get on the target soon, if you don't get ready, try not to miss the target."

Lu Leran: "Of course not. The target is so big, even if you can't hit the center of it, you won't miss it!" Lu Leran disagreed. Instead, Jin Shaolan quickly picked up the open string and practiced twice. It would be embarrassing to miss the target for the first time.

As a result, Shu Xiaoxiao scored eight rings, Jin Shaolan scored nine rings, and Lu Leran... missed the target.

This tells us: People really can’t just make promises casually, as it’s easy to get slapped in the face.

Seeing Lu Leran's incredulous expression, Shu Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, "You see, just because your eyes have learned it doesn't mean your hands will be able to do it, too."

This situation is too common in modern times, okay? When she was cooking before, her eyes and brain clearly told her: You are fine, it is very simple, come on!

As a result, her hands will teach her to face the reality: Your eyes and brain understand it, but what does it have to do with your hands?

Fortunately, Lu Leran was not the only one who missed the target, so it was no big deal, as they could not compare with the first group anyway.

The first group could basically shoot in the third and fourth rings. For their group, it was the best if they didn't miss the target. However, after a whole morning of practice, they were able to shoot without missing the target. I'm not going to say how good the result is, but improvement is the best.

Shu Xiaoxiao's best result was to shoot the six rings, but it required a certain amount of luck. However, she was very happy because luck was also a kind of strength. She believed that she could turn this luck into strength in the future.
