Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Chapter 24: Marriage Recruitment in Yuelao Town

After entering a city, I found it in chaos and people were calling their friends everywhere and running to one place.

After asking around, I found out that this is Yue Lao Town and today is the day when the eldest daughter of the Hu family is shooting arrows to find a husband.

Miss Hu is the most beautiful lady in the city, so naturally there is a lot of excitement. Everyone goes to join in the fun, and some even hope to win her heart.

When Little Swallow heard there was some excitement, she immediately became excited and shouted that she must go and take a look.

He Xi: If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen. It’s hard to comment.

Xiaoyanzi is not a bad person by nature, but Hexi doesn't like her. The reason is that Xiaoyanzi has a personality that likes to stir up trouble, but she doesn't have the ability to solve problems. Don't ask, because asking is just a sign of misogyny.

Xiaoyanzi got so excited that she wanted to drag Ziwei to watch the fun.

Yongqi: "Xiaoyanzi, don't be anxious. You have to ask the master first if he wants to go."

Xiaoyanzi clasped her hands together and looked at Qianlong earnestly.

"Well, I've never seen a shooting matchmaking before, so it wouldn't hurt to go and see for myself."

The little swallow cheered and ran happily towards the crowded place.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late..."

There were already crowds of people in front of the Yue Lao Temple, and it was very lively.

Fuheng and Fukang'an observed the surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people and cleared the way for Qianlong.

Xiaoyanzi pulled Ziwei and wanted to rush forward.

"Ziwei, let's move forward so we can see more clearly."

Benjamin: "I've only heard of martial arts competitions in China before, but this is the first time I've heard of shooting competitions."

Fu Heng explained: "I have found out all this."

Otherwise, how could Fuheng win the emperor's favor? He was a man of good sense and could get things done even without Qianlong giving any orders.

"There is a disc in front of the Yue Lao Temple with a colorful ball on it. The person behind it spins the disc and shoots an arrow to hit the concentric rings inside the colorful ball. Then he can marry Miss Hu."

"That's too difficult. Archery is not easy, let alone rotating it."

"Yes, that's why people pray for their destined partner in front of the Yue Lao Temple. In addition, there is a Yue Lao tree in front of the Yue Lao Temple with a red ribbon hanging on it."

"If you have a loved one, you can hang a red ribbon on the tree and wish for that person's heart."

Fu Heng glanced at Fu Kang'an and said, "Stupid boy, I have explained it in detail."

But Fukang'an didn't even glance at his worried old father.

Xiaoyanzi got an idea after hearing this: "That's great, all of you except Erkang should go and try it out. If Miss Hu is really pretty, I will make the decision for you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned green. Just imagine how it feels to have your loved one stabbed in the back.

Don’t ask, it’s just sour.

Ertai: "It seems we have to stay away from that trouble."

Qianlong caught the loophole in Xiaoyanzi's words and said, "Xiaoyanzi, why is Erkang excluded? Can you explain it to me?"

Qianlong had a heart of a matchmaker, and he was happy to be a matchmaker in all marriages except Hexi's.

It seems that his Princess Huanzhu has fallen in love with Erkang, Qianlong thought to himself.

Well, let's just help them achieve their goal.

When Qianlong asked this question, they all looked at each other in guilt.

Qing'er saw it all from the side, and with her keen sense, she noticed something was wrong.

"Because... because..." Xiaoyanzi was speechless. She was in trouble again.

Just when she was at a loss, Erkang stepped forward and stepped on her foot.

"Ow—"

Everyone's attention was diverted, and Xiaoyanzi covered her feet and dared not say anything.

Soon Miss Hu's bridal sedan arrived. Miss Hu was indeed beautiful and graceful.

"My name is Hu Ruolan. I know a little about poetry and music. I am 22 years old. Today, I am here at the order of my father to shoot and find a husband. I hope you can give me some advice."

It is also in the world of drama. In ancient times, it was a bit late to get married at the age of 22.

Ziwei admired her: "She is really generous and decent. She is so graceful even when talking about finding a husband."

He Xi: Forget it! If she remembered correctly, it seemed that they had messed up Hu Ruolan's blind date.

But He Xi hadn't finished complaining in her heart yet, a new round of critical attacks came.

Erkang glanced at Ziwei affectionately: "I know a little about poetry and music, but not as well as someone else."

He Xi:!!!

Seeing this, Yongqi also said: "Regardless of poetry, books, and music, you are not as good as someone else."

Benjamin didn't understand, so he followed suit: "Not as good as someone else..."

He Xi: ...?????

I got a slight shiver and got goosebumps. I enjoyed watching it when I was a kid, but why is it so immersive and greasy in this moment?

Fu Kang'an thought He Xi was cold, so he stood behind her to block the wind.

The archery matchmaking event started soon. Many people came with high hopes but left disappointed, as they either missed the target or failed to hit the concentric rings.

For a moment, no one dared to shoot arrows.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Hu immediately stood up and asked if anyone else wanted to come and shoot arrows.

Xiaoyanzi became interested and raised her hand to sign up for Yongqiertai and Benjamin.

Several people couldn't stand Xiaoyanzi's pushing and shoving, only Benjamin was rejected by Mr. Hu with a single glance.

Benjamin looked at Xiaoyanzi helplessly, then returned to the team contentedly.

Ertai and Yongqi were forced to take the exam and were determined to fail.

Ruolan noticed these two handsome men and felt delighted.

Ertai went on stage first. He drew his bow and shot his arrow at a low point, so of course he missed the target.

When it was Yongqi's turn, Xiaoyanzi was unwilling to give up and wanted to lend a helping hand to Yongqi, so she stepped forward and pulled the arrow when Yongqi was drawing the bow to shoot.

The arrow went off track and flew into the crowd, and everyone stepped back in shock.

A beggar suddenly appeared in the center.

"Be careful!" Little Swallow screamed, but the beggar seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

Before he could react, the arrow was already in front of him.

The beggar was terrified, but his stiff body could not move.

Seeing the wedding banquet turned into a murder scene, everyone closed their eyes.

Xiaoyanzi was already stunned with fear.

Fukangan immediately used a stone to hit the bull from a distance and successfully changed the direction of the bow and arrow.

As luck would have it, the arrow went straight into the colorful ball.

The colorful balls overflowed, revealing the concentric rings inside.

Xiaoyanzi patted her chest, fortunately nothing happened.

Because the stone was small and moved fast, those who were not careful could not see it. The people on the embroidery building only saw the beggar wave his hand and the bow and arrow changed direction.

This ending was something no one expected.

The beggar was also shocked. Not only did he survive, but he also seemed to be able to make some money.

Yes, even if others didn't see it, how could he not know that the bow and arrow had nothing to do with him.

When Mr. Hu saw that it was a beggar, his face immediately darkened.

"No, that doesn't count!"

Hu Ruolan's face also turned pale.

Xiaoyanzi was not convinced and stepped forward to argue: "We agreed that whoever shoots the target gets it, why are you still not keeping your word?"

"Hmph, to be serious, this arrow was shot by this young man." Mr. Hu pointed at Yongqi.

It was obvious that Yongqi was a young man from a wealthy family, so Mr. Hu decided to default on his debt.

Xiaoyanzi just wanted to play around, but she didn't expect Yongqi to actually hit her. Seeing that Yongqi was really entangled, she immediately became unhappy again.

Xiaoyanzi argued with reason and the beggar couldn't get a word in the whole process, but when he saw someone else standing up, he was happy to be invisible.

"Master Hu, since this... young master has shot the concentric ring, according to the rules, he should become your son-in-law."

Mr. Hu didn't agree at all, and Hu Ruolan was also worried that she would really have to marry this beggar.
