Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 74 Part 6: Riding and Archery

Jiang Li turned it over in her mind but had no thoughts. Since she came back to Yanjing, there were countless people in the dark who regarded Jiang second miss as the thorn in their eyes. If she wanted to achieve her purpose, its inevitable for her to obstruct the road of many people. Its no surprise to want to remove her, this rock blocking their paths.

Bai Xue came over with brand new riding clothes in her hand and said: Miss, the outfit is ready.

Jiang Li swept her eyes over the clothes in Bai Xues hands and said: Okay, just place it on the table.

The equestrian archery required riding a horse, so its necessary to wear a riding outfit. Jiang Li didnt have one, this was old madam Jiang who asked someone to make a new one for her. To show fairness, all four daughters in the family would also get one. All the materials were chosen by themselves. Naturally, Jiang You Yao would get the best one.

Tonger thought Jiang Li would need to exert a lot of effort as she put on the riding outfit for the first time. She didnt think that Jiang Li was very proficient and didnt even need anyones help. She could wear them in two, three steps. Tonger bound her hair into a bundle, looking both vigorous and agile, exhibiting a bit of heroic spirit that she didnt normally carry. This attracted the several servant girls in the courtyard to praise her.

The equestrian riding would begin in the early morning so Jiang Li also got up early. Then she went towards Wan Feng Hall to join the others. Her timing was right as the others had just arrived. Jiang Yue and Jiang You Yao immediately sized her up upon her arrival.

Jiang You Yao wore a pink riding outfit. She was originally dainty and bright, depicting the characteristics of Yanjings lively young ladies. Jiang Yue was in a light blue riding outfit, looking lovely with her pretty smile. Jiang Yu Yan was wearing a goose yellow riding outfit. Her skin color wasnt white and the color of the cloth set her skin to appear slightly darker. She wouldnt be noticed among a crowd of people.

Jiang Lis riding outfit was cyan. She really liked the color cyan and picked this color for her riding outfit. The originally pretty and clear facial features appeared elegant and watery, seemingly unsuitable with this kind of ardent attire. But it was unknown why, when she stood there with her orderly sleeves and her light smile, she was like a perfectly straight green bamboo. The branches and leaves carried the morning dew, the heroic spirit flourished, full of vitality.

Even old madam Jiang couldnt help showing her appreciation.

Jiang You Yao felt uneasy again. But after recalling the words Ji Shuran spoke to her yesterday, she looked towards Jiang Li and said with a smile: Today second sister looks different from the before, truly good looking. Dont know whether everyone present would again be surprised by the equestrian riding skill later.

Jiang Li smiled indifferently: Third sister overpraised.

Jiang You Yao despised Jiang Lis smile. Jiang Lis smile looked too sincere, making Jiang You Yao, who knew Jiang Lis insidiousness, disgusted with her. She turned her head and stopped looking at Jiang Li. Instead, she said to Ji Shuran: Mother. Lets go.

Contrary to expectation, Jiang Yuan Bai fell behind and paused to say to Jiang Li: You dont have to force yourself if you are unable to. Then he walked away.

Jiang Li was slightly startled and shook her head. Without thinking more, she immediately boarded the carriage and headed towards the examination field.

Today, Yanjing was almost empty as the people crowded outside the examination field. Probably yesterdays music exam attracted a lot of people and the audience doubled for todays equestrian riding.

Jiang Li got off the carriage and walked over to the exam platform.

Liu Xu saw her coming and greeted her cheerfully. She said: Looking at how good your spirits are today, there should be no problem? Theres probing in her words.

Jiang Li said: Not bad.

Liu Xu was satisfied and taking a quick look around, she saw Meng Hong Jin in the crowd. Today Meng Hong Jin looked exceptionally conspicuous, her whole body was wrapped in a fiery red riding outfit, making the whole person look enthusiastic and passionate. Seeing that Jiang Li had arrived, Meng Hong Jin glanced before quickly moving her sight away.

Jiang Li was a bit puzzled.

The people ridiculing Jiang Li were not as many as yesterday. Perhaps the display Jiang Li presented yesterday intimidated the whole audience. Even the female students from Ming Yi Hall merely gathered together on one side and sized Jiang Li stealthily. They also didnt dare to discuss in front of Jiang Li.

Liu Xu softly snorted: Only know to feel afraid now.

Its the first time Jiang Li saw Liu Xu looking like this and felt novel. She said: What to be afraid of?

You wont be the person at the bottom of Ming Yi Hall anymore. You wont lose the gamble between you and Meng Hong Jin. You know, many people went to the wine shop in Yanjing yesterday to buy liquor and drank till drunk. It was no other than because theyve bet a lot on Meng Hong Jin and now grieving after losing everything that theyve invested. Saying up to here, Liu Xu took joy in the calamity and said: I also heard that the Meng family bet a lot of silver, this time they lost miserably. If not my father didnt let me gamble, I would have also placed a bet, dont know how many times my profit would have been right now.
