Chapter 74 Part 4: Riding and Archery

Hello~~ I cannot believe it’s December already! I woke up on December 1st and got the shock of my life. I wondered, what have I done this year? Why is it December already? How about you? Do you also feel time flew so fast and in a blink of an eye it’s already the end of the year?

This is supposed to be yesterday’s release, I apologize for the delay.

“Why are you laughing?” Jiang Jing Rui said, feeling weird. “Was what I said very laughable? Did you actually listen to what I said just now? Jiang Li, I kindly came and reminded you because we are related. You are being obstinate like this, when the time comes, don’t come crying to me.”

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t look for you,” said Jiang Li.

“You!” Jiang Jing Rui swung his sleeve in anger, “I can’t get through to you, just up to you!” He stood up furiously and walked out. He stopped halfway and said: “My equestrian master is in the residence. Wait for a moment, if you want to look for him, just go directly. I’ve already informed him before. At least you could mount the horse and won’t be thrown off, okay?” After he finished explaining all these, Jiang Jing Rui truly left.

“Miss,” Tong’er anxiously asked: “Is equestrian archery really that dangerous? Or else, just no need to go.” Jiang Li and she were at the nunnery for eight years, she naturally knew Jiang Li had never learned riding and archery before. Although Jiang Li also had never learned to play guqin, calligraphy, calculation and etiquette, those were not dangerous. If competing, then compete, but in any case, Tong’er didn’t feel relieved if there’s anything dangerous.

“It’s fine.” Jiang Li said: “I have my own thoughts.” She faintly guessed why Ji Shuran was so out of character towards her in the afternoon. Since knives and arrows had no eyes in the examination field, danger could happen at any time. At the time when danger occured, it would only be treated as an accident.

“Accident” could happen anytime.

But she wasn’t afraid of accidents, because she could handle them well.

This was precisely “confidence”.

……

In the west part of Yanjing, it was quiet inside Duke Su’s residence at the moment.

Duke Su liked gorgeous and intricate things, thus, his official residence was winding and complicated. The decoration was extremely elaborate and extravagant. The An Ding River was right in front of the door. There were countless magnificent buildings at the bank of the river, but none of these small buildings with flying eaves1 were as good as that conspicuous, large, vermillion mansion.
