The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

After a while, Xiangyue also came back. As soon as she came back, she asked Xu Qu about Xie Shen's injury: "Brother, I just heard about Brother Shen's injury on the way back. I wonder how he is now?"

Xu Qu said, "The doctor has bandaged him and said that he is fine, but he needs to rest for a while. He has already taken a car back to the Xie family, and Xiangyin went back with him."

"I never thought Brother Shen could do such a brave thing." Xiangyue exclaimed.

Xu Qu nodded and agreed, "He seems cynical and carefree on the surface, but he is actually very cautious. It is really unexpected that he was willing to protect Xiang Yin from the arrow."

As he was talking, a servant-like boy dragged a small wild boar to the front of the Xu family's carriage. After he stopped, he asked, "Excuse me, is this the carriage of Master Xu Qu?"

Youcheng quickly stepped forward and answered, "Exactly. What can I do for you, young man?"

The servant said, "I am a servant of the Wu family. Our Master and Young Madam want to thank Madam Xu and Miss Xu for helping our Young Madam today. They specially gave us a small wild boar they hunted today as a token of their appreciation. Please accept it. We will come to thank you in person some other day."

After listening to what the servant of the Wu family said, Youcheng turned to look at Xu Qu, who turned to look at Xiangyue. Xiangyue waved her hand and said, "Don't ask me. I didn't get together with my sister-in-law afterwards. The Miss Xu he mentioned is not me. I don't know what's going on. Let's ask my sister-in-law. Hey, where is my sister-in-law? Why haven't I seen her since I came back?"

"Your sister-in-law is tired and is resting in the carriage. You can go and ask her what she thinks." Xu Qu said to Xiangyue.

Before Xiangyue moved to the front of the carriage, she slowly got out of the carriage. She walked up to the Wu family servant and said, "Please go back and tell your master and mistress that I have accepted the gifts, thank them for their kindness, and welcome them to visit us."

In this way, today's hunting was slowly fruitful.

After the servant of the Wu family left, Xiangyue asked Huanhuan curiously, "Sister-in-law, is this Madam Wu the Miss Jiang you met in Yongshengfang that day? How did sister-in-law have a connection with Miss Jiang?"

Huan Huan, who was feeling depressed, was standing there blankly, watching the Wu family servant leave. After hearing Xiang Yue's words, he turned around and said, "Li Wan's horse threw her off and ran away. She sprained her ankle. Xiang Yin and I happened to pass by. Xiang Yin came back and called a doctor to treat her. She rode my horse back. That's it."

"Li Wan? Sister-in-law and Miss Jiang are so familiar with each other?" Xiangyue was a little surprised. Then she raised her eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Jiang, the great-granddaughter of General Zhang Daolao, a famous general in the founding of the country, would be injured by her own horse."

"She just got that horse recently. Even I, who just learned how to ride a horse, can see that it has a bad temper." He explained slowly to Xiangyue.

Then someone came to Xiangyue to exchange prey, so Huanhuan and Xiangyue stopped talking. Huanhuan didn't want to talk to Xu Qu, so he went back to the carriage.

When most people had returned, the governor of the prefecture held an archery competition as usual, to give those who were not satisfied with the hunting a chance to reminisce. There was often a prize in the competition, and the winner was the one with the most accurate arrows.

Those who usually participate in the competition are young men from various families. Because young ladies from various families will watch on the sidelines, this competition is often seen by unmarried men as a great opportunity to show themselves.

Of course, married men can also participate. Some simply enjoy competing in archery, some are attracted by the prize, and some just want to show off themselves. Who says that only unmarried men need to show off?

Look, Xu Qu was called to participate in an archery competition, and since he was good at riding and shooting, he happily went there.

On the field, after several rounds of competition, there were not many people left.

"Young Master is really an expert at shooting the target through the air from a hundred paces away. The prize is already half in the bag." Yacheng started to flatter Xu Qu.

"You are such a smooth-talking kid." Xu Qu glanced at Youcheng, then looked around and asked, "Why hasn't Madam come over yet?"

"The young lady said before that she was tired and would not come." Youcheng said casually.

Xu Qu thought for a moment and said, "Go back and call the young lady over."

"Well...what if the young lady doesn't come?" Youcheng asked tentatively.

Xu Qu waved to Youcheng, motioning him to come closer, and then he whispered a few words in Youcheng's ear.

After listening to this, Youcheng raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Is this possible?"

Xu Qu said seriously: "If that doesn't work, you have to find another way to get her to come."

"Is it okay if I'm not with you, sir? What if someone talks to you or the governor asks you to go archery?" Youcheng didn't want to go. He didn't want to miss the exciting and interesting competition, but he was also afraid that Huanhuan would refuse to come no matter what.

"I will keep an eye on it, you don't have to worry. Okay, go now." Xu Qu's tone was irrefutable.

Youcheng had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the Xu family's carriage. Along the way, he was thinking about what attitude and words he should use to persuade Huan to come over.

Youcheng returned to the Xu family's carriage and saw Xiangyue sitting alone on a rock to rest. Xiaoyu and Huamei Dujuan had all run off early to watch the archery competition.

Then Cheng asked Xiangyue again: "Miss, where is the young lady?"

Xiangyue turned around and signaled to the carriage with his eyes. Yacheng was secretly delighted, as this situation was exactly what he wanted.

He raised his voice slightly and said to the carriage, "Madam, the young master is competing in archery and is about to win first place. He asked me to take his treasured arrows to participate in the competition. Do you see a blue quiver in the carriage?"

Huanhuan listened and found the quiver and handed it to the outside of the carriage curtain, but Youcheng did not take the quiver. He suppressed his smile and said, "Madam, I have a stomachache and it hurts badly now. Could you take the trouble to deliver the quiver to the young master?"

The hand that held out the quiver stopped in mid-air. After a moment of pause, he said in the car, "Please trouble Sister Xiangyue to take me there."

Xiangyue, who was outside the carriage, was about to come over when she heard that, but then she started waving her hands at Xiangyue. Xiangyue immediately understood and stopped, pretending to be very tired and said, "I'm really tired from hunting today. I'd better trouble you to go there yourself." After that, she pursed her lips and smiled gently.

Huanhuan had no choice but to lift the curtain and jump out of the carriage to personally deliver the arrow to Xu Qu.

Xu Qu looked around for a long time at the archery area, and saw a slow figure walking towards him from afar. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He took the quiver from Huanhuan's hand, pulled out an arrow and said to Huanhuan, "I'll have to trouble you to stay by my side and hold the quiver for me for a while." Huanhuan lowered his head and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Xu Qu seemed to be very good at the competition. After the last arrow was shot, the crowd cheered. Seeing the arrow hit the bull's eye, Xu Qu smiled. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Huan Huan like a child waiting for praise.

Huanhuan, however, looked calm and had no expression of joy. Seeing this, Xu Qu's smile faded, and he looked at Huanhuan with a slightly puzzled look.

After the archery competition, the crowd dispersed. On the way back to the Xu family carriage from the competition venue, Xu Qu said to Huan Huan: "Madam, you were so close to winning the prize, what a pity, don't you think?" Huan Huan said "hmm" in a depressed tone and said nothing more.

Xu Qu kept trying to say a few words to Huanhuan along the way, but he was always met with Huanhuan's cold face when he started talking. This made him shut up unconsciously. At the same time, he was very confused in his heart. What happened to Huanhuan?
