Alas! Do you really have no talent? Su Yizhao put down the long bow and took a look at his own tiger's mouth.
When I entered school, I had never learned riding and shooting. Therefore, in the riding and shooting class, my classmates made fun of her several times, saying that she was limp, as if she hadn't eaten.
Later, she worked very hard, but she could only stabilize at seven or eight rings, and only hit the bull's eye once.
For this reason, she had wounds on her hands every day, especially the tiger's mouth. After being scratched, she felt burning pain and eventually developed calluses.
Even her shoulders were so sore that she couldn't sleep at night, but she still persevered.
A chuckle came from the side, "It shows that the old man is still fair, but you are already very good, and your archery results are not bad. But you are always competing with those who are talented. Isn't this self-abuse?"
Su Yizhao turned around to look, wasn't it Su Yijue who was coming?
"In your archery posture, your legs still need to be spread forward and backward, otherwise how can you use your strength?"
As Su Yijue spoke, he took the bow and arrow from Su Yizhao's hand, and then attached the arrow. Without aiming, the arrow shot out quickly and hit the target with smooth movements.
Su Yizhao curled his lips, "The teacher said that archery talent is not as important as hard work. You have to practice diligently. Practice makes perfect!"
As she spoke, she thought of Li Xuezhi, who looked like a dissolute scholar, but was very good at riding and shooting.
"Master Li said that?" Su Yijue glanced at Su Yizhao with a smile. He paused, forget it! It's better not to hit her.
"When I was nine years old, I could hit the bull's-eye with an arrow. Not only could I pass through a poplar in a hundred steps, but I could also pass through a copper coin in fifty steps."
Su Yizhao's calm face finally cracked, she squinted her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Yes! You are really amazing!"
"Hahaha!" Su Yijue burst out laughing.
"Okay, let's change our clothes first! The person bringing the good news is coming soon. My second uncle and the others are already waiting in the hall."
After Su Yijue laughed, he returned the long bow to Su Yizhao and urged.
"Fifth brother is so confident? It seems that you did well in the exam this time!" Su Yizhao said with a smile.
"Whether I have confidence in myself is another matter, but I have confidence in you!" Su Yijue turned around and smiled, "Let's go!"
Su Yizhao changed into a begonia red round-neck robe, revealing the Xiangfei-colored stand-up collar underneath, which made him look very noble and eye-catching.
Su Yizhao glanced at it and then hesitated: "Is this? Is it too conspicuous?"
Platycodon immediately smiled and said: "Today is a festive day, can't you wear something bright?"
She was about to step forward to fasten the button on Su Yizhao's chest, but Su Yizhao waved his hand away and then fastened it himself.
Kikyo looked a little gloomy, but then she felt relieved when she thought that her young master had always done what he could.
When Su Yizhao arrived at the front hall, the second old man and the others were already waiting in the front hall.
Seeing Su Yizhao coming over, the two old masters and the others treated her with rare kindness.
"Come and sit down! It's almost time, we'll be waiting here."
Judging from past results, Su Yizhao will definitely be among the best this time. Therefore, the good news will come quickly.
When the provincial examination results were released, the candidates were very nervous. Even Meng Lingxi was not exempt from this.
But one moment he was full of expectations and nervousness, and the next moment he looked unhappy.
There was an opened letter on his desk, and one sentence made him most at a loss and made him feel sad.
"Only by being the best can you live up to your reputation."
Taking a deep breath, he smiled bitterly. It had to be said that whenever he faced Su Yizhao, he lost his normalcy.
What his mentor said was right, this seemed to have become his inner demon. He remembered his mentor's words. Only by completely trampling the opponent under his feet would he regain his confidence.
But is this possible? He took a deep breath.
"Master! Master! I'm so happy!" Papaya, the bodyguard, rushed in excitedly. Meng Lingxi couldn't care less about the servant's rudeness, her heart was beating wildly.
"Master! If you pass it, you still have to take the provincial examination to get your qualifications."
Seeing Papaya's ecstatic expression, Meng Lingxi immediately stepped forward and held her shoulders. Then she asked in disbelief: "Seriously?"
Papaya nodded repeatedly and answered with certainty, "Really, absolutely true!"
Meng Lingxi was stunned on the spot at first, and then became ecstatic.
However, he still couldn't believe it and repeatedly confirmed: "Did you see clearly? Don't get it wrong, who is the second place?"
"Secretary Meng went to see it in person and copied down the list of those on the list. Wait a moment, the list is still in his hand. The villain also got the news and came to report the good news in advance."
"Xi'er, I'm so happy! You are the winner of this provincial examination."
The voice of his father's congratulations came from outside the door, which made Meng Lingxi, who was still in a daze, come back to his senses and murmured: "So this is true!"
"It's true, Xi'er, you became Jieyuan in the provincial examination, and Su Yizhao came in second."
Meng Changlin was also very happy. Xi'er's efforts finally paid off, which also showed that the chief assistant was attentive.
Thinking of Su Yizhao, Meng Changlin even thought that the elder's words were a bit alarmist. He was second to none even in the provincial examination, and would only be stepped on by Xi'er in the future.
He finally realized that good and bad fortunes depend on each other, and it would be good to keep Su Yizhao, as this would greatly stimulate Xi'er's potential. After all, it is impossible to make continuous progress without a strong opponent.
The two of them looked at each other, quite feeling as if they could make peace and turn things around.
On the other side, the Su family was also very happy. The second old man and the others were full of praise for Su Yizhao.
"Xiao Shiqi, you got second place in this provincial examination, which is very good! Even Xiao Shisan passed the Jinshi examination. The rank of twenty-three is very good. I am very happy."
Su Yizhao was a little dazed. When she noticed someone nudging her, she quickly stood up and respectfully replied: "My grandnephew will definitely continue to work hard in the future!"
"Okay! Okay!" Looking at the performance of the two new teenagers, the second old man and the others nodded repeatedly.
The wedding money had already been scattered, and the villagers were told that a running feast would be held in three days, so Su Yizhao and the others planned to go outside the Gongyuan.
Because the top three essays in the provincial examination will be posted on the list, Su Yizhao and others planned to join in the fun and see what others were capable of.
"What's wrong? Are you a little discouraged because you can't solve the problem?"
Su Yijue looked at Su Yizhao who was swaying with the carriage, and then asked with a smile.
Su Yizhao shook his head, "Although I continue to work hard to move forward, others are not standing still. Although I am not Jieyuan, the second place is not bad!"
Su Yijue smiled. In fact, he could see Su Yizhao's disappointment. The county examination was the first case, so he would inevitably have high hopes for himself.
Now it is a blow to the head and it brings a little setback to Su Yizhao, but it is still good for Su Yizhao.
