Gu Yuan agreed happily and said, "This thing is powerful and loud. You can't try it in the house. Let's go to the garden."
The brother and sister went out from Yuhengyuan and headed west to the nearest small garden.
While following the steps Gu Yuan said, Gu Yanfei prepared to fire the flintlock rifle step by step, he said to himself: "What should I do?"
"How about that?" Gu Yuan pointed forward and pointed to a strong weeping willow opposite the lake, and reminded him, "Be careful of the recoil when the flintlock rifle is fired."
"Okay." Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, and calmly pointed the muzzle of the flintlock rifle at the weeping willow opposite the lake. He held the gun in his left hand and the buttstock in his right hand, and then steadily pulled the trigger with his right hand.
The flint clamp was pulled by the spring and hit hard on the fire door, and sparks appeared.
"Bang!"
A deafening sound was heard, and a fire dragon spurted out rapidly from the mouth of the flintlock muzzle, and the projectile passed through the lake like lightning and shot on a weeping willow opposite the lake.
The shot shot straight through the tree trunk, leaving a hole the size of a longan.
"Soul..."
The trunk of the willow tree shook violently, like a shiver in the wind and rain. The willow leaves fell like rain, floating on the rippling lake surface, floating with the ripples of the lake...
There were still wisps of smoke gushing out at the muzzle, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
The loud noise here almost rang through the small garden.
The servants in the garden came to hear the sound in groups of three or three, and watched the scene in amazement.
"Sister, you shot so accurately!" Gu Yuan applauded Gu Yanfei's shot warmly.
Gu Yanfei felt that his left arm was hurt by the recoil of the flint rifle, and he shook his left arm.
This thing is far from the low-level spiritual weapon.
but……
Gu Yanfei looked back and forth on the flintlock rifle thoughtfully several times, if he added a sharp array to it...
She gently drew a simple index finger on her left hand, and quickly drew a simple one-time formation with her spiritual power.
Well, it's really well drawn.
She smiled with satisfaction, and then repeated the previous steps again, her movements nearly twice as fast as before, pointing her muzzle at another weeping willow opposite the lake.
"Bang!"
The second gunshot suddenly rang out, louder than the first one, and even the clouds in the sky above seemed to be shaken open.
Another smoke gushed out of the muzzle, and the projectile shot faster than before. It shot a second weeping willow with a red flame with lightning speed.
With a "creak", the tree trunk actually broke in the middle.
There was another loud noise, and the willow tree canopy fell from its bottom, landing on the lake, splashing a large splash of water.
The servants watching next to him were all stunned, either covering their ears, exclaiming, or whispering. No one even thought of reporting to the Grandma and the Marquis.
More people came to hear the sound, and the second gunshot not only spread throughout the small garden, but even half of the marquis' mansion heard the sound.
Mrs. Gu, who is located in Cihetang, also heard it.
She was frightened by the inexplicable loud noise and her heart beat a lot. An unknown premonition arose in her heart. She frowned and ordered: "Bai Lu, go and see what's going on..."
Bai Lu took the order and left in a hurry.
As soon as she left, a woman in the gatehouse ran over panting and told the little maid in green clothes who was guarding the eaves: "The Prince of Yan'an is here to congratulate you."
The news brought by the woman allowed her to enter the Dongji room smoothly and meet Mrs. Gu.
"Why did Prince Yan'an suddenly come to congratulate?" Mrs. Gu asked in confusion.
My family has been in trouble recently and is in trouble. I really can't figure out what kind of happy events I can't afford to congratulate.
The old lady replied happily: "Madam, I said she was here to congratulate the eldest son and was transferred to Luanyiwei and appointed as the fourth-rank tutor."
"..." Mrs. Gu opened her eyes slightly in surprise, then her five fingers on her left hand were closed and she clenched into a fist.
She didn't say anything, and the woman didn't know what to do, so she could only bow down and stand.
The house fell into a dead silence.
After a moment of silence, the curtain was beaten up again. The little maid in green hurriedly came in again and said, "The Grandmaster, the Marquis of Pingjin, the Bo Mansion of Changxing, and the General Longhu Mansion have all come to express their promotion to the eldest son."
Mrs. Gu felt that her heart was whipped hard with a whip, which hurt, numb and stuffy.
Mrs. Gu lowered her eyes, covered her left chest with a hunch, grabbed it slightly, and felt the heart under her palm throbbing even more severely.
"Madam, are you okay?" Madam Li asked with concern, raising her hand to stroke her back, but Madam Gu suddenly realized that she had not heard of it.
She thought of Gu Yuan for a while, and then thought of Gu Ce who died young, and then overlapped these two figures with another elegant figure.
First it was Gu Ce, then Gu Yuan.
She thought that even if Gu Yuan had to abandon his civilians and join the military camp, he would probably have to stop at a small soldier. How could the king tolerate a son of a humiliating general?
Unexpectedly, first there was Shenji Camp, but now Gu Yuan was going to be transferred to Luanyi Guard again. In just a few days, he was promoted from the sixth-grade thousand general to three levels.
And it is also the Luanyi Guard who is close to the emperor!
Go to the sky in one step.
"Brother Yuan is promising, this is a happy event." Mrs. Gu said softly, "I will be happy if my elder sister has a spirit in the sky."
As he said that, Mrs. Gu clamped her left fist tighter, and her neatly trimmed nails fell deeply into the soft palm. Her heart seemed to be stabbed by an invisible thorn, and then again.
"That person" is like a thorn embedded in her heart...
A thick haze surged in the eyes of Mrs. Gu, and was quickly suppressed.
She took two deep breaths and said to herself in her heart that Gu Yuan can be good, which is also the expectation of the old marquis. If Gu Yuan can rise to the top from now on, it will be beneficial to the marquis's mansion. After all, the word "Gu" cannot be written in one stroke.
After a while, Mrs. Gu calmed down a lot, raised her eyelids and ordered lightly: "Go and call the eldest young master... and the second young master to the lobby of the outer courtyard."
"Yes, the grandma." The little maid in green bowed her knees and bowed her head and quickly walked out.
At the same time, the doorman who came to report the words also retreated.
The room was silent again, and only a faint sigh echoed in it.
Soon, Mrs. Gu also took Madam Li to leave Cihetang.
Today, the distinguished guest came to the door, and the second son Gu Jian was injured again. Mrs. Gu had no choice but to decide to go to the guests in person to show her solemnity.
The doors of the hall are all open, appearing wide, bright, and transparent.
Gu Yuan came very quickly. Mrs. Gu had just sat down on the chair of the top leader. The next moment, she saw Gu Yuan wearing a crimson official robe outside the hall walking towards him.
A strange light flashed through Mrs. Gu's eyes and disappeared in a flash.
"Grandmother." Gu Yuan bowed to Mrs. Gu, and the etiquette was not wrong.
"Brother Yuan," Mrs. Gu frowned and sighed, and said helplessly, "It's a huge joyful event for you to transfer to Luan Yiwei. Why don't you tell your family about such a big thing?"
"Did you have sex with your family?"
While speaking, Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Yuan to her and patted the back of his hand kindly, as if yesterday's quarrel had never existed.
Gu Yuan neither nodded nor shook his head, nor said anything.
Mrs. Gu had been used to Gu Yuan's dull character that could not be held up for a long time, and sighed again: "Forget it, it's better to see people's hearts over time, and you will know that your grandmother is for your own good in the future."
"In the future, when you arrive at Luanyiwei, you must do your best and continue to work hard. Don't let down the expectations of your grandmother and your father for you."
"There are many distinguished guests today. Your second cousin will come soon. You brothers will treat the guests well."
Mrs. Gu's lips curled, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth were dyed with a pleasant curve.
Gu Yuan's eyes turned, his fists clenched, and he still said nothing.
In Mrs. Gu's eyes, Gu Yuan's silence was a kind of silent agreement.
Mrs. Gu was in a better mood and smiled and ordered the maid to serve several plates of desserts and fruits that Gu Yuan liked to eat.
At first glance, grandparents and grandchildren are harmonious and happy.
When Prince of Yan'an, Marquis of Pingjin, Changxing Bo and others came to the hall, they saw this scene, so they all congratulated Mrs. Gu for her good fortune, that her children and grandchildren were better than her, and praised Gu Yuan for his young talents.
Gu Yuan generously welcomed these Gu family friends, greetings and reminiscing about the past.
Mrs. Gu also praised Gu Yuan from time to time, and said that these uncles would take good care of Gu Yuan in the future. She glanced out of the hall from time to time.
The hall is very lively.
Gu Yuan was smiling, but his smile was not as good as his eyes, and his eyes were also distant when he looked at the people around him.
He was like a lonely traveler, incompatible with the joy of the whole house.
For a moment, he felt that he had returned eight years ago, before he was nine years old, his grandmother and these uncles were as kind, enthusiastic, friendly, and tolerant as he is now.
But after my father had an accident, all the uncles alienated the eldest son's house...
After swallowing the sweet tea in the mouth, only a strong bitterness remained in the mouth.
"Brother Xiao, you are here." Mrs. Gu's slightly excited voice awakened Gu Yuan from her sudden thoughts.
Gu Yuan looked up and saw a young man about thirteen years old, wearing a royal blue straight man entering the hall. It was Gu Jian and Wang's legitimate son Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao first saluted Mrs. Gu who was in charge, and then called Gu Yuan unwillingly: "Brother."
Gu Xiao also heard about yesterday and suspected that Gu Yuan had hurt his father Gu Jian, so he looked at Gu Yuan with hostility in his eyes.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is at an age full of thorns.
Mrs. Gu's smile deeper on her face, and she was about to let Gu Xiao greet the guests.
Although Gu Xiao is not the prince, the marquis's mansion will be his sooner or later, and he will accumulate some connections for him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and turned around and left without saying a word.
