Chapter 40: Father teaches horseback riding and archery.
After the Wei family walked around the street, Wei Mingting led everyone to the school grounds.
The school ground is where soldiers train. In the past, outsiders were not allowed to come in here, not even the family members of the school captain's mansion.
But recently, the soldiers have been sticking to the front line, and the usual training place has been changed to a place closer to the east city gate. Therefore, the school ground is now idle, with only a few guards guarding the gate.
Wei Mingting brought several children here and wanted to use this rare vacation time to teach his children to ride horses.
Among the several children, except for the eldest son who can ride, he has not had time to teach them the rest.
Wei Mingting planned to let his two daughters try horse riding, and it happened that he and his eldest son were each teaching one. Wei Mingting chose to teach Wei Ruo, leaving the job of teaching Wei Qingwan to his eldest son.
As for the youngest son Wei Yilin, Yunshi watched him practice riding a pony.
Wei Yilin usually acted like a monkey at home, but today with Wei Mingting's presence, he was much more well-behaved and did not dare to have any small tempers or tempers.
Wei Mingting led his mount "Sickle" to Wei Ruo and asked Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, do you dare to give it a try?"
Wei Ruo nodded. It had been so long since she traveled through time, but she had never ridden a horse!
"Then I will teach you, father, this is the stirrup, you need to put your feet here, this is the saddle, this is the reins..." Wei Mingting explained to Wei Ruo the precautions for riding a horse in detail.
Wei Ruo listened carefully. When Wei Mingting finished speaking and asked her to try, Wei Ruo did not hesitate, stepped on the stirrup, turned over and sat on it.
The movements were neat and unrestrained, done in one go, without any hesitation or fear.
Wei Mingting was still thinking about finding a stool for his daughter to rest her feet on, but Wei Ruo had already sat on it.
After coming to his senses, Wei Mingting smiled and said, "Ruo'er, you are more decisive than your brother. I remember that when my eldest brother learned to ride a horse for the first time, he hesitated for a long time."
Wei Yichen, who was in charge of teaching Wei Qingwan next to him, heard his father's words and protested with a smile: "Father, why did you even tell your sister about this? Where do you want me to put my dignity as an elder brother?" Wei
Mingting He replied: "You earn your face by yourself, not because your father helps you cover it up."
Wei Yichen said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, my son is useless. He is not as sassy as sister Ruo'er! Our Ruo'er is a hero among women. , Women will not let men down!"
Listening to Wei Yichen's complimentary words, Wei Ruo felt nothing about being praised. On the contrary, Wei Qingwan, who was beside Wei Yichen, lowered her head in despair.
Wei Yichen turned his head and saw Wei Qingwan with her head lowered and a sad look on her face.
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wei Yichen asked hurriedly.
"It's okay...it's just that I'm a little too stupid. I can't master the essentials of horseback riding as quickly as my sister..." "
Wanwan, don't think so. Wanwan has things that Wanwan is good at, Wanwan has advantages, and there are many things you can do." Ruo'er is good at things that Ruo'er is not good at. For example, Wanwan, the cakes you make are very delicious, and your embroidery, calligraphy, and poetry are all very good. These are things Ruo'er can't compare to. Wanwan doesn't have to do everything. The best, that would be too tiring." Wei Yichen comforted.
"Yes." Wei Qingwan agreed in a low voice.
"Okay, big brother, let me continue teaching you." Wei Yichen continued to patiently explain to Wei Qingwan the essentials of horseback riding.
Wei Yichen had just said a few words to Wei Qingwan when he saw Wei Ruo riding his horse and running around the grass of the school field.
Wei Ruo, who was on horseback, smiled openly and freely, without any fear of riding a horse for the first time.
Seeing her daughter's free and easy appearance, Wei Mingting sighed with some relief: "I didn't expect Ruo'er to be the person most like me. If he were a man, he might be able to fight with my father and son on the battlefield." Yun also noticed that her husband was looking at her daughter
. The expression of relief showed when I saw him, and he couldn't help but feel happy. After all, Ruo'er is the couple's biological daughter, and she has some shadow of her husband.
Thinking of this, Yun's expression when looking at Wei Ruo softened a lot. Since the last incident, Yun's attitude towards Wei Ruo has become much colder, but today's incident has made Yun's mentality a little bit more... Variety.
After riding for a while, Wei Mingting brought a bow and arrow for Wei Ruo to try.
"Archery is different from riding a horse. It will be more difficult. Just try it. If you can't do it, don't force it." Wei Mingting said it first.
Wei Mingting originally planned to teach his two daughters to ride horses today, and did not intend to let them try archery. After all, archery was still too difficult for the girl's family.
But Wei Ruo's riding performance just now made Wei Mingting change his mind.
Wei Mingting demonstrated to Wei Ruo how to nock an arrow, draw a bow, and shoot an arrow.
Wei Mingting seemed to be a born warrior and a born soldier. As soon as he got the bow and arrow in his hand, his whole aura changed. There was an indescribable majesty and courage, and his tight muscles seemed to burst out with infinite power.
And the arrow he shot also confirmed this. The arrow hit the bullseye.
Wei Mingting handed the bow into Wei Ruo's hand and said, "Ruo'er, let's try it too." "
Okay." Wei Ruo took the bow, imitated Wei Mingting's action just now, took an arrow from the quiver, and nocked it. On the bowstring.
Wei Ruo got started quickly and quickly mastered the essentials of archery, and was able to successfully shoot the arrow.
But the strength and accuracy are very limited:
in terms of strength, Wei Mingting can pull the bow into a "full moon", but Wei Ruo can only pull the bow into a "gibbous moon";
as for accuracy, let alone the bullseye, it is good if it can not miss the target. Ten arrows were shot, but only two landed on the target.
When I watched Wei Mingting shoot archery, I thought it wasn't very difficult. It wasn't until I got started that I realized that hitting a target with a hundred steps is not something that just anyone can do.
Wei Ruo glared at the bow and arrow in his hand with some annoyance, why was this broken arrow so unruly?
Wei Mingting looked at his daughter's little expression and smiled: "Ruo'er, don't be anxious, take your time, it's just your first day trying it, it's already very good to be able to do this."
Wei Mingting was not trying to comfort Wei Ruo, but he was really doing well. Not to mention girls, even men might not be able to improve as fast as Wei Ruo in their first attempt at archery.
Not far away, Wei Qingwan, who was still learning horse riding with Wei Yichen, saw Wei Mingting's kind expression towards Wei Ruo.
After thinking for a while, Wei Qingwan said to Wei Yichen: "Brother, I also want to try archery." "
Okay, I'll take you there." Wei Yichen didn't know what Wei Qingwan was thinking. She said she wanted to go archery, so he took her there. .
Today, Japan brings its younger brothers and sisters to the school grounds to play. It doesn’t matter whether they learn or not, as long as they have fun.
Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan came to Wei Mingting. After explaining the situation to Wei Mingting, Wei Mingting asked his subordinates to bring over another bow.
After Wei Qingwan took the bow, she imitated Wei Mingting's demonstration and prepared to draw the bow.
In the original work, his father died in the battle not long after, so the subsequent death of the original owner (Wei Ruo) has nothing to do with his father.
The heroine (Wei Qingwan) in the original work is the kind of person who is miserable, pale, and pitiful and needs the protection of the male protagonist.
