Caihong nodded and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao indifferently, the corner of her mouth curled slightly, "Since you are a newbie, you go first."

She definitely didn't mean well. She was just afraid that she would shock her so much that she would feel inferior and dare not come forward.

Shi Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "You should go first, and let me learn how you shoot. After all, I am a newbie and need to learn."

Rainbow scoffed and slowly walked over to the crossbow.

She picked up the crossbow with the same confidence as her mistress and glanced at Shi Xiaoxiao with disdain.

If it were someone else, she might not be able to win, but Shi Xiaoxiao was just a novice girl, and she didn't take her seriously at all.

Raise your bow!

aim!

Shi Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and saw that this person was also professional, but not as professional as her lady.

It’s almost done!

Rainbow aimed at the target ahead.

call out!

The arrow in his hand had already flown out, drawing a straight line in the air and firmly hitting the center of the bull's eye.

There was an uproar all around.

"I didn't expect this girl's maid is also a good shooter."

"It seems that this little girl is going to lose. It's a pity that this brother won't be able to get the hairpin."

"Speaking of which, this guy's archery skills are really amazing, but he just lost because he didn't find a suitable helper."

"I also think that this maid has clearly practiced martial arts before. It's really unfair for her to be compared with a little girl."

Amidst the noisy chatter of the crowd, the maid had already finished ejaculating.

The stall owner also came out to count, "This girl hit the bull's eye eight times in total, and missed the target twice."

Although two shots missed the target, it was still better than the average person.

The people around praised Rainbow's shooting skills, and Rainbow returned to her lady proudly.

The woman looked at Caihong with praise and glanced in the man's direction with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the man was still looking at Shi Xiaoxiao quietly, there was no regret or remorse in his eyes.

The woman couldn't help but frown slightly.

Then she thought, not only did she beat him, but the hairpin was also hers, and she had not lost any face, so why should she care about his opinion?

Anyway, he was just the loser. No matter how good his shooting skills were, it was still because of his poor eyesight. He chose a little girl who knew nothing to play, which embarrassed himself.

Thinking about her, my mood improved.

She looked at Shi Xiaoxiao and said with disdain:

"Little girl, it's not too late for you to admit defeat now. You saw that my maid was hit by eight bullets. You can't beat her. It's better to admit defeat now than to embarrass yourself later. No one will laugh at you. After all, you are just a novice. Losing face for someone you don't even know is not a good choice."

Shi Xiaoxiao did not answer, but slowly walked to the crossbow and reached out to take it.

At this time, the woman's discordant voice sounded again, "Hey, can you lift that crossbow? Do you want me to help you?"

The people around watched quietly. The woman's repeated inappropriate expressions had already made people around her feel disgusted.

Although everyone felt that the woman's words were unpleasant, no one said anything.

Shi Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her mouth slightly and placed her hand on the crossbow.

next second!

"Oh, it's so heavy, I really can't lift it!"

She looked like she was unable to lift the crossbow even after trying her best, which made the other woman sneer at her.

"Hahaha, I was saying, you can't even lift a crossbow and you're still competing. You're telling me to admit defeat but you refuse to listen. You're really overestimating yourself."

As she spoke, she looked in the man's direction and laughed heartily: "Are you blind? This girl is obviously not good enough. You still chose her. Is it because she is pretty? Haha."

Although the people around her didn't laugh at her as recklessly as the woman did, they also twitched their lips and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao with strange expressions.

Is that crossbow really that heavy?

The man also looked at her strangely. He never expected that she couldn't even lift the crossbow.

I thought the worst that could happen was that she would miss the target, but I didn't expect the biggest problem was that she couldn't lift the crossbow.

His originally nonchalant face couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

But he did not blame Shi Xiaoxiao for this. Since she couldn't lift the crossbow, there was nothing wrong with admitting defeat.

It's not a very important thing in itself.

"Girl, otherwise..."

The man was about to tell Shi Xiaoxiao that it was okay to admit defeat.

Shi Xiaoxiao picked up the crossbow with one hand, and with the other hand grabbed all the arrows and installed them on it.

Aim and shoot!

All the movements were done in one go without any drag.

The man couldn't help but stand there in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

He simply couldn't understand why the person who had just shouted that he couldn't lift the crossbow could fire ten shots at once?

He turned to look in the direction of the target and was shocked.

I saw ten arrows hitting the bull's eye steadily, without any one missing the target.

Although he fired ten shots at once and hit the bull's eye, he was not as shocked as Xiaoxiao.

He can hit the bull's eye because he has been practicing since he was a child.

Did Xiaoxiao also practice this since she was young?

Looking at such a weak little girl, she actually did something so disproportionate to her own character.

In contrast to the man's shock, everyone else opened their eyes wide and watched the scene quietly.

They also couldn't understand why the person who had just said he couldn't lift the crossbow could suddenly lift it with one hand.

Even ten shots were fired at once!

Even hit the bull's eye!

If they hadn't seen Shi Xiaoxiao shoot the arrow herself, they would have suspected that someone else shot it for her.

But it turned out that it was Shi Xiaoxiao herself who launched it.

The woman also had a look of disbelief on her face, her thoughts raced, and anger rose in her heart.

She looked at Shi Xiaoxiao angrily, "You damn girl, how dare you lie to me!"

What is still unclear now is undoubtedly that this damn girl pretended that she couldn't lift the crossbow, and then fired ten shots at the same time, hitting her in the face!

She couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between Shi Xiaoxiao and this man was, and why she would bully her for this man.

He can obviously lift a crossbow and can obviously shoot well, but he pretends to be weak.

When she's laughed at enough, slap her in the face.

The more happily I smiled just now, the more painful my face is now.

Shi Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at her innocently. "No, I can't lift both hands, but I can lift it with one hand. Don't you know that the strength of one hand cannot be matched by two hands? Besides, if I lift both hands, how can I use my hands to release the arrow? I don't understand this."

The woman's face turned red and black with anger, and she rolled her eyes at what Shi Xiaoxiao said.

What nonsense is it that one hand is more powerful than two hands?

One hand of a good person is more powerful than two hands.

It's nonsense.

Damn girl!

Even his quibbling is so careless!

Shi Xiaoxiao didn't look at her, but smiled at the stall owner, "Can I give him this hairpin now?"

The stall owner nodded. "Yes, yes, that's absolutely amazing. I didn't expect the girl's shooting skills to be so superb."

Shi Xiaoxiao waved her hands modestly: "No, no, I'm just lucky."

The woman watched the stall owner hand the hairpin to the man with fire in her eyes, but she knew there was no reason to stop him and could only look at Shi Xiaoxiao with hatred.

If I lose, I lose. It’s no big deal.

But that damn girl suddenly appeared and pretended to be weak, making her think that she was really going to win.

That's why she laughed at the man so unscrupulously, causing her to be extremely embarrassed now.

And Rainbow was trembling behind the woman.

If she hadn't missed the target twice, the lady wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

The lady hasn't reacted yet, but when she does, I will definitely not let her go.

She didn't dare to say a word now.

It was not until the stall owner put the hairpin into the man's hand that the onlookers around him reacted.

A round of applause resounded through the sky.

Everyone was talking about it.

"What a close call! I thought I was going to lose the hairpin. How could his wife let him go?"

"Oh, I think you're just worrying too much. I felt from the beginning that this girl would definitely win."

"Hey, hey, hey, who was it that just said this guy didn't find good helpers? Now he's changing his story again."

"Who, who just said that? It definitely wasn't me."

Another person laughed and said:

"Haha, thank goodness that maid is an expert. She can't even beat a little girl. The same goes for that young lady. She was so happy at first, but now she's not happy anymore. Hahaha."

The woman's face became darker and darker, and she looked at Shi Xiaoxiao deeply, with a hint of danger and disgust.

Finally, she left unwillingly with her maid.

Before leaving, she looked at Shi Xiaoxiao seriously, as if she wanted to remember Shi Xiaoxiao's appearance so that she could cause trouble for her.

Shi Xiaoxiao shrugged, not afraid at all!

The woman left, and the man didn't plan to stay any longer. He looked at Shi Xiaoxiao.

"My name is Qi Yun, may I know your name..."

Shi Xiaoxiao grinned, "My name is Shi Xiaoxiao."

She looked at Qi Yun. She had a good feeling about Qi Yun. He was not as arrogant as that Pu Xin girl just now.

He exudes a gentle, refined demeanor, and looks like a modest gentleman.

Qi Yun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao meaningfully.

He had heard of Shi Xiaoxiao's name. Anyone with a little status would know that the prime minister of the current dynasty was famous for favoring his concubine and killing his wife.

The Prime Minister's silly daughter, who loves his concubine as well as his wife, is called Shi Xiaoxiao. Because of her reputation of favoring her concubine over her wife, Shi Xiaoxiao is also a person who is cursed by many people.

A while ago, it was reported that the Prime Minister promoted his concubine to a co-wife, putting her on an equal footing with his wife.

This further confirmed his reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife, so some people even insulted the concubine and her daughter behind her back.

Qi Yun couldn't help laughing and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao.

No matter how he thought about it or how he looked at it, he felt that the person in front of him was not Miss Shi Er from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

According to rumors, the second young lady should not be here alone at that time, and she is also a good archer.

He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Are you the Second Miss Shi from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Shi Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yeah."

She looked at the strange expression on Qi Yun's face, pointed at herself and asked, "What's wrong? Don't I look like him?"

Qi Yun shook his head: "It's not that she doesn't look like him, it's just that I feel that Miss Shi Er is a little different from what was rumored."

Not only are they different, they can be said to have nothing to do with each other.

According to rumors, the second young lady was stupid, weak, unable to take care of herself, and was also called a vixen like her mother.

But Qi Yun looked at the one in front of him.

This girl with clear eyes, pure kindness, doesn't look like the rumored Miss Shi Er at all.

Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Some people like me, some people dislike me. The me that others describe is naturally different from who I am."

Qi Yun nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, it's others who are too pedantic, it has nothing to do with Miss Shi."

Shi Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded. It turned out that this child is teachable!

Qi Yun was dazzled by Shi Xiaoxiao's smile and felt that Shi Xiaoxiao was a simple and innocent girl.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. His mother was one of the people who called her a vixen every day.

She was even used as a negative example to teach the children in the family.

He made up his mind that he would go back and persuade his mother not to be so malicious towards her anymore.

She is actually an innocent woman!

Shi Xiaoxiao didn't know what Qi Yun was thinking. What she always remembered was that Qi Yun said there would be a generous reward for helping him.

I haven't given her the thank-you gift yet. Are you trying to renege on your debt?

Xiaoxiao frowned as she thought about it. She had to find a way to remind him.

Her eyes casually fell on the hairpin in his hand, and she smiled: "This hairpin is quite beautiful."

Qi Yun picked up the hairpin and took a look at it, then nodded in agreement: "It is indeed beautiful. I fell in love with this hairpin at first sight and thought that my lover would like it."

As he spoke, he looked at Shi Xiaoxiao gratefully and said, "I have to thank Miss Shi for helping me just now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this hairpin."

Seeing Qi Yun talking about gratitude, Shi Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with joy. She smiled and waved her hands, "It's a small matter. Master Qi spared no expense to ask me for help in getting this hairpin to please his lover. That girl is so lucky."

When talking about his lover, Qi Yun's face seemed full of tenderness.

Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at him lightly, feeling puzzled.

She didn't come here just to see his overflowing love, she came here just to get a thank you gift.

This silly boy just kept on grinning and didn't even mention a word of thanks.

Shi Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and said, "It's getting late. Master Qi, you should quickly return the hairpin to your lover. If she knew you spent a lot of money seeking help to obtain this hairpin, she would definitely be very happy."

Qi Yun chuckled, "I think so."

He looked at Shi Xiaoxiao and said, "Then I'll go back first. She'll be worried if I'm late."

Shi Xiaoxiao paused and agreed, "Right, right, right. Master Qi, go back quickly and tell her that you spent a lot of money to get this hairpin. Only then will she be happier."

Qi Yun nodded seriously, "Miss Shi is right."

After saying that, he turned and left. Shi Xiaoxiao stared at him with wide eyes.

The next second, Qi Yun turned around again, and was surprised to see Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes wide open, and was shocked.

"Miss Shi, are you okay?"

Shi Xiaoxiao was startled. "Uh...it's okay. Hey, I have an old eye problem. It's an old problem. I always have to spend a lot of money to see a doctor. It's okay. Haha, I didn't scare you, did I?"

"Why are you looking back? Aren't you leaving? Did you remember something and forget it?"

Qi Yun smiled gently, "I haven't forgotten anything."

Shi Xiaoxiao almost bit her teeth.

Haven't you forgotten anything?

I clearly forgot something important!

Qi Yun continued, "When I met Miss Shi today, I felt like we had met too late. It was also fate. This is the jade pendant that symbolizes my status. Take it. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to the Qi Mansion to find me. I will definitely help you in any way I can."

Shi Xiaoxiao took the jade pendant with a smile, "Okay, okay."

She rubbed the jade pendant with her fingers, and the smooth surface seemed to emit waves of warmth.

I thought to myself: Why give her a jade pendant? She wants a lot of money. She is so stupid that she didn't respond no matter how I reminded her. I don't know whether this jade pendant is good or how much it can be sold for.

I should have known not to help him. Not only did he offend a woman, but there was no benefit at all!

Shi Xiaoxiao watched Qi Yun leave with a smile, but the smile on her face completely disappeared the next second.

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand angrily.

Although the jade pendant looked pure and flawless, she didn't know if it was a good thing. What if it was just a piece of junk jade? Wouldn't she be at a huge loss?

Silver notes are still more practical!
