The eighth elder brother just wanted to have a good relationship with the ninth elder brother in Zhenglan Qilun, so he no longer wanted to be humble and humble.
Ring-hooking is purely for fun, for young and old to kill time; shooting money requires real skills.
But with the eldest brother Zhuyu in front, no matter how good others are, they are still far behind.
The eighth brother was wondering, so he took his brother-in-law to several cousins in Prince Gong's palace, let them continue to set the trap, and then went to the other side to look at the money.
The third elder brother was also watching carefully. There were so many finger pulls for making lottery tickets, which were all used daily. How could he miss them?
Seeing the eighth elder brother coming over, the third elder brother smiled and said: "Eighth brother, how about we also imitate Uncle Wang and compete with Uncle Wang?"
The eighth elder brother looked at the third elder brother, knowing that the third elder brother had not touched these things since he was a child.
It's because he is stingy and doesn't like to participate in such activities with a lot of money because he feels sorry for his money.
Now he takes the initiative to mention this, is this because he is sure that his archery skills are worse than his?
The eighth prince's eyes were a little dark.
He had only been "recuperating" for a few months, and before others said anything, his brothers began to look down on him.
The third elder brother coughed and said: "Isn't this brother the king of the county? The bodyguards and army guards will also be added, and it will be convenient to prepare a few more horses..."
This is also about betting on horse racing.
There is always a shortage of horses in the capital, and Mongolian horses from outside the country come over. A mature horse costs between three and forty taels of silver.
The third elder brother said, stretched out his hand and said: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang and the others are betting on geldings, one or two. We can just use ordinary geldings, five!"
The eighth elder brother chuckled and said: "Since the third brother is interested, then the younger brother should obey..."
The third elder brother mentioned this because he came here early in the morning and the first test shot failed, so he practiced for a while. Secondly, he felt that the eighth elder brother was too lazy to memorize words. At this time, his luck would fluctuate, so he would definitely win.
.
But seeing the calm look of the eighth elder brother, the third elder brother was worried that he might miss. Seeing the ninth elder brother nearby, he said: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, follow the first bet and bet on the third brother. Don't watch in vain!"
The third elder brother performed well today. He was very enthusiastic, helping with things inside and outside, and acted like an elder brother. The ninth elder brother appreciated it and said: "Then I will follow your instructions. I will bet on you, the third elder brother."
Win with five horses!"
The third elder brother said "haha" twice, feeling confident.
If the Eighth Prince wants to make a comeback, he has to decide who to fight against. If he faces Lao Jiu, he will definitely not be able to make a comeback.
The tenth elder brother said from the side: "Then I will also bet on the third elder brother to win..."
The third elder brother smiled even more heartily and said: "Then let me borrow the good words from my tenth brother!"
The new guest next to him looked at Ba Age, a little confused.
Didn’t you say that Brother Ba is popular?
Why do I feel that none of these princes are too close to the eighth prince today?
They were familiar with the Eighth Prince, and they naturally favored their clan members. However, there was a bet between two princes in front of them. There was no room for them to get involved, so they could only encourage the Eighth Prince.
Although the fifth elder brother didn't like the eighth elder brother, he knew that the situation before him was not quite right.
It's really like three brothers to one. People who don't know better think that the eighth prince is being bullied.
The eighth prince has always been good at pretending, and when he looks back pitifully, it seems that something is wrong with others.
They are all a group of brothers who have grown up. They have used this trick in their early years in the study room. Now they want to do it again?
Also, in front of the imperial court, the emperor is pitiful towards the weak and does not want to see sibling fighting. From what he heard, he should have thought that the host, the ninth elder brother, was in trouble.
The fifth elder brother said: "Then I'll bet on my eighth brother to win..."
Also speaking out at about the same time as him was the fourth elder brother, who also took the eighth elder brother into custody.
The situation immediately became three to three.
Seeing this, the eighth elder brother smiled at his two brothers, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.
The fifth elder brother is just paying it forward. Is the fourth elder brother helping himself or the ninth elder brother?
The eighth prince was not sure for a moment.
Seeing that the game started here, people from the other side of the ring also came over.
The third elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother's luck and wished they could roll up their sleeves and have fun with them.
Foolish people are blessed by foolishness, and the third elder brother is afraid that his good luck will be abducted by the fifth elder brother.
The seventh elder brother is no longer here, and the eldest elder brother has also gone back to the living room. Now there are also the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
The third elder brother looked at the two younger brothers and said: "You two, don't be idle, also choose one side and make a bet..."
Brother Jiu protected his younger brother and said: "They live in the palace, and the horses under their names are all good horses that are respected by outsiders. Each person can stake one, and the winner will be rewarded with three geldings!"
The third elder brother nodded and said: "Any number is fine, it's rare for brothers to be so complete, just to join in the fun..."
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and asked him to choose first.
The twelfth elder brother said without hesitation: "I'll take care of the third brother."
He didn't like the third brother, but he didn't like the eighth brother even more.
Not only because of being close to Jiu Age, Aiwu Jiwu, but also because of himself.
He just doesn't like to talk, but a prince is a prince, and because the nobles live in the back hall of Changchun Palace, the Eighth Prince bothered him by talking in front of him.
The Thirteenth Brother smiled and said: "Then I will take care of Brother Ba..."
Although the eighth elder brother was vain, the character of the third elder brother displeased him even more.
Besides, there are eight people at the moment. Four to four is just right, but five to three will make it easier for people to talk.
In front of outsiders, it can't really turn into a brawl between princes.
The eighth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother and did not feel pleased.
Although among the brothers, he had quarrels with the Third Elder Brother and the Ninth Elder Brother, but really speaking, the person who has really affected his dignity in the imperial court in the past few years is the Thirteenth Elder Brother.
The Thirteenth Prince has completely replaced his previous identity and become one of the most trusted princes in the imperial court.
In the blink of an eye, a lot of horses were staked.
The third elder brother had practiced before and was a little nervous now. He said to the eighth elder brother: "The eighth elder brother comes first..."
There are several bows prepared beside them, including five-power bows, seven-power bows, nine-power bows, and ten-power bows.
The eighth prince had originally wanted to show off his archery skills to Zheng Lanqi's clan members, but now that the prince was involved in making a bet, it became even more difficult to lose.
He looked at the third elder brother and said: "In order to keep the elders and younger ones in order, the third elder brother should come first."
The third elder brother blinked, picked up the Qili bow, took the arrows, and shot two arrows in succession.
Both arrows hit, one for one coin and one for the fifth coin.
The distance between five coins is about one foot.
When the two sides swayed, even if it did not affect the second position, it was still dazzling.
The third elder brother had already taken out the third arrow and shot the money in the middle, and he also hit it.
This is where I learn from my eldest brother. This was the order of selection for my eldest brother just now.
In this way, three of the five coins are shaking, which makes people's eyes dazzled.
For the fourth arrow, the waiting time was a little longer than before, but the force was too strong, causing the copper coin to tilt at an angle, and the arrow also slipped to the ground.
Everyone looked at it and felt it was a pity.
The third elder brother was not affected and continued to shoot the fifth arrow.
bingo.
Four out of five shots.
Still a hanging target, this is already the second best result today.
Corresponding to the prepared lottery number, it is the old ivory thumb ring.
The third elder brother put down his bow, plucked through several old ivory wrenches in the tray next to him, picked one that was tighter on his hand, put it on directly, then looked at the eighth elder brother with a smile, and said: "Hey, busy.
I'm busy with errands and I'm slack at work, so I'm determined to be no better than my eighth brother..."
Brother Ba tightened his grip on the bow and already regretted it.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not that the third elder brother is slacking off. He has been recovering from illness for three months but has not touched the bow.
Or even earlier, I had no intention of practicing archery.
He had accepted the "fight" from the third elder brother before, in order to show off his attitude and let people know that his brothers were not friendly and disrespectful towards him, but in the end, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother broke up.
Behind him was the Thirteenth Prince, and the battle between the princes ended in a four-to-four tie.
In this way, in front of everyone, everyone can see his true ability.
The target in the distance has been cleared.
The money is still shaking slightly.
The eighth prince is in trouble.
The people watching the fun nearby were chatting away.
Prince Baotai's voice was loud and he said: "Ba Ye's archery skills have been praised by the emperor since he was a child..."
The second elder brother of Anjun Prince also followed suit and said: "My Ama often praises me at home, saying that when the emperor went on tour a few years ago, the prince must have the eighth master in his shooting performance..."
Many clans of Zhenglan Banner also agreed.
If the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were to face off, everyone would shut up, but when it comes to facing off against the third elder brother, there is a distinction between inside and outside.
The Eighth Prince was used to this kind of attention-grabbing situation in his early years. Now his expression remains unchanged, but he feels a little uneasy in his heart.
This is a floating target, not a standing target. Can I really hit five out of five shots?
Immediately, he thought of the results of his third elder brother, fourth middle school...
I have a chance to lose, in which case it will be a draw and no one will laugh at me.
As for the fifth middle school, it was too ostentatious.
Now the prince is like having a seizure. He is either facing this prince or that prince. He hides behind his eldest brother and has room for advancement and retreat.
Brother Ninth has no patience. He is already a little impatient now and wants to urge him immediately.
I have been standing here for half a cup of tea, can I cum or not?
The third elder brother was also paying attention to the eighth elder brother's expression. Seeing that he was very calm, he took out his pocket watch and said: "Old Eighth, my five arrows just took half a cup of tea. If you are too slow,
Being sure is sure, but it also wastes time."
The eighth prince pointed the target with his chin and said: "I didn't stop just now..."
The third brother nodded and said: "Well, I'm fine now. I don't want to wait for the first shot. I still have to connect."
The eighth prince nodded and said: "Yes."
As he said this, he drew an arrow and aimed it not at the two coins on the sides, but at the one in the middle.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow flew over and hit the square hole in the middle of the money.
However, the same problem as the third brother's fourth arrow occurred. The force was too strong, and the remaining force caused the money to stand up, and the arrow in the square hole also fell to the ground.
There was a "click" sound.
Everyone was silent.
When it comes to missing the target, there are many people ahead of them.
It's just that the Eighth Prince is well-known and a prince with both civil and military skills.
Seeing this, the third elder brother raised his eyebrows and encouraged: "It's okay. I'm just not used to this new target. It'll be fine next..."
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other.
The third child behaves differently. At this moment, he is actually not having fun directly, but rather acting like an older brother.
Third Brother's mind has never been stupid.
When it comes to money, it's easy to be blinded by arrogance, which makes you look stupid sometimes.
At this time, the third elder brother also knew that today was a good time for "brothers, friends and brothers to respect each other".
Those five horses are a great deal, and it's not tiring to say a few nice words.
Moreover, in full view of the public, the news soon spread, and there was no way to hide it from the emperor.
He puffed up his chest. He didn't have the name of the eldest brother, but he was the eldest brother.
Compared with the careless and reckless eldest brother, he, as the elder brother, is the good brother of the royal family.
Brother Eight raised his bow, his wrist feeling a little heavy.
He had a bad feeling.
If you fail once, there will be no chance of failure a second time.
Otherwise, all the remaining arrows will be hit, and the third brother will be defeated.
When the time comes, the prince of the Eight Banners will definitely compare him with the third elder brother.
The eighth prince's mouth was dry, the voice in his ears was a little distant, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became heavy.
The third elder brother was standing by and saw something was wrong, but did not speak to stop him.
It was true that he chose to ask for a fight, but who made Eighth Prince accept the offer?
The fourth elder brother also paid attention to the eighth elder brother, and found that his expression was different and his face turned pale. He couldn't help but worry: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so it's hard to waste your energy..."
At this point, thinking that the eighth prince has always been very strong, he was afraid that he would not give up the competition, so he said: "I'll wait until I feel better again, and then I can continue the competition..."
The eighth elder brother was struggling in his heart, should he give up temporarily according to the fourth elder brother's words, or should he break the bowstring?
He couldn't continue anyway, as he had no confidence that the remaining four arrows would hit.
When the third elder brother heard what the fourth elder brother said, he felt unhappy. Just when he was about to speak, the eighth elder brother had already put down his arms, showing a bit of weakness, and said: "It's because I don't know myself. I thought that if the third elder brother was interested, I would accompany him for a game."
, still reluctantly..."
After hearing this, the third elder brother smiled a little.
Coward!
He's still as fake as ever, obviously he can't compare with himself, but he's still trying to put a premium on his face!
But at this moment, Prince Baotai, who was friends with the eighth elder brother, the second elder brother of Anjun Prince, and others were all surrounding the eighth elder brother, and they were all talking about their concern. The third elder brother couldn't chase after him.
Otherwise, it would appear that he is unfriendly to his younger brother.
He became irritable and complained to the ninth, tenth, and twelfth elder brother: "I let you bet for nothing..."
