Chapter 44: Autumn Hunting

The autumn wind, neither early nor late, just flickered into the holy city, blowing the old locust tree in the backyard of the teahouse, the withered leaves on the book fell all over the ground, rhubarb lay on the ground and nibbled on the ribs thrown out by Doudou, whirring, Yu Yu squatted under the locust tree with a bowl of braised pork ribs, and drank the noodle soup with a hula.

Doudou wore a brand-new autumn skirt and high-end ready-to-wear bought from Ruifeng Tang. There is a saying in the Holy City that he wears the ready-to-wear clothes of Ruifengtang, the boots of Baoluchuan, and the hat of Xiangheji. These are the three major pieces, as well as the rouge of Yunjinfang, the jewelry of Laojinfang, and the 'jade' ware of Longbaozhai. These are all worn by those dignitaries and nobles with status and status in the Holy City. Originally, after getting rich, Yu Yu wanted to buy everything for Doudou, but Doudou said that it was better to wait for the house to arrive, and it would not be too late. Without a house, she panicked very much, Yu Yu had no choice but to give up, but she still 'spended' a lot of money to buy Doudou two of the best and most expensive ready-to-wear clothes from Ruifeng Tang.

At this time, Doudou was sitting on a small stool at the entrance of the kitchen door, eating noodles quietly.

It's been two days since I came back from school.

In the few days in the school, Li Xinrui pestered him every day to study calligraphy, Yu Yu was a little unbearable for this eldest lady, she was too serious and could only come back. After meeting that "sister" that night, when he went to the river again at night, Yu Yu found that the beautiful sister who was like a fairy was not waiting for him there. Extremely disappointed, Yu Yu had no choice but to face the reality and finally confirmed that his charm was not as strong as he imagined. The afternoon sun was already very soft, quietly 'shooting' down from the roof, casting a straight 'shooting' line, and the light column was dusty.

"Young master, my brother asked, what about those people who hide around our yard all day?" Doudou asked in a low voice as he ate his noodles.

Xiao Baiyu often comes over, when Yu Yu is not there, Xiao Baiyu usually accompanies Doudou in the teahouse during the day, originally the teahouse can't be opened during this time, because the place is occupied by the Queen Mother's favor, but Doudou thinks that it is not practical to sit and eat in the hollow of the mountain every day, so Doudou cleaned up a room next to the kitchen, and moved the gifts into it with Xiao Baiyu, vacating the teahouse. Business as usual. It's just that business is not good as always.

Yu Yu didn't speak, drank the noodle soup in a big gulp, wiped his mouth, stood up, walked to the kitchen, and said as he walked, "This matter, it's better to be still than to be still, I want to see what they want to do?"

"Oh" Doudou turned sideways, let Yu Yu go, and then said, "Brother said, if you don't make up your mind, he will kill those people, I think my brother is a little impatient!"

"But you must not kill!" Yu Yu put down the bowl, walked out of the kitchen, stood in the courtyard, and stretched his waist for a long time, "Among those people, I am afraid that there are people from the government, if they don't 'figure it out', they will kill them rashly, and it may not be easy to 'hand' them over." I killed Situ Nan in Wangjiang Tower that day, and now I still regret it! Besides, I am now the loyal and righteous marquis of Emperor Lao Tzu, and I can't act so casually anymore!"

Doudou stopped talking, picked up the bowl, and stepped into the kitchen, ready to wash!

Yu Yu had just pulled the chair and wanted to lie down, when suddenly there was a sound of carriages and horses outside, followed by a person wearing a purple 'color' eunuch palace uniform holding a yellow 'color' imperial decree and walking in.

Yu Yu hated this kind of thing, because seeing it was equivalent to seeing the emperor, that was to kneel, the students of the academy usually had to kneel when they saw the emperor outside, not to mention this kind of formal occasion, coming with a holy decree, not bowing, it was tantamount to rebelling against the Great Yan Kingdom.

Doudou saw the eunuch walk into the courtyard, quickly closed the 'door' of the kitchen, and hid in the kitchen alone to wash!

Yu Yu was helpless, when did he have to think of a way to get rid of this thing of kneeling, it was too uncomfortable. For a modern person with a very advanced consciousness, he is still very resistant to bowing to this thing.

The situation is stronger than people, Yu Yu still pretended to be respectful and 'touched' and listened to the eunuch read out the holy decree aloud. That's what happened.

It turns out that Yan Guo has always retained the habit of autumn hunting, and at this time it is almost late autumn, it is a good time for autumn hunting, Qin Tianjian made another explanation, in the last half month, there is no autumn rain in the holy city, and it will not work after a while, as soon as the autumn rain arrives, it will be followed by winter.

Therefore, the emperor decided to start the autumn hunt three days later, that is, on October 3, the 25th year of Yanguo Xuanwei, a total of half a month, and the deadline was on the 18th! Donghuang Mountain is about 200 miles away from the Holy City! It's not too far, but it's not very close either.

After getting the holy decree, Yu Yu reached out and took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch who delivered the decree. There is not much money, and what is expressed is a meaning, which is respect for the eunuch. After reading so many history books, Yu Yu knew that if the people who 'deal' with the emperor couldn't get along with the eunuchs, most of them would not end well!

The eunuch's name was Yang Hong, about forty years old. Seeing the silver ticket, Yang Hong pretended to excuse himself, happily put it in his pocket and thanked Yu Yu vigorously.

Yu Yu doesn't know too well that the Great Yan Kingdom has been suppressing the eunuchs so badly, and this year's emperor has deprived the eunuchs of all their rights, and they have all become real slaves, both inside the palace and outside, the highest eunuch head, and the annual salary of the eunuch is only a pitiful six hundred taels of silver. What the emperor means is that the eunuchs eat and live in the palace, what do they want so much money for?

However, eunuchs are also human beings, and they also have to eat and dress, and they also have relatives in their hometowns, and they also need money. However, due to the emperor's dislike, it caused the ministers to not treat eunuchs very well. Today, Yu Yu greeted Yang Hong with a smile as a loyal and righteous marquis, and gave him two hundred taels of silver, which Yang Hong was really happy about, and most importantly, Yu Yu helped him find a sense of existence!

"Young master, did you give that person two hundred taels of silver!" Doudou asked Yu Yu, who was standing in the courtyard, while washing the dishes.

"How do you know?!" Yu Yu said in surprise.

"I just gave you a silver ticket of two hundred taels a few days ago, and you didn't take more, so what he gave him today must be the silver ticket of two hundred taels!" Doudou said angrily.

"Ahem, this is called engaging in relationships, do you understand engaging in relationships? In the future, I will 'mix' with the emperor, and those people around him can't be offended!" Yu Yu explained.

"Then you give a two-tael...... Oh no, twenty taels of silver tickets won't do!" Doudou was very dissatisfied.

"You girl, I'm now the Marquis of Zhongyi, the Marquis of Zhongyi, the Marquis of Zhongyi, the Marquis, you know? When will you learn to be as atmospheric as the young master and me?!" Yu Yu said the old-fashioned lines while looking at the holy decree, his heart was already in October, and he came to the holy city unknowingly, and it had been more than half a year.

"Doudou, I'll go to Wangjiang Tower later, will you go?" Yu Yu put his head in from the kitchen window and said to Doudou with a salivating face.

Doudou didn't look at him, and simply said, "Don't go!"

"Oh, okay, okay, then you give me some money!"

"Young Master, are you going to find Miss Rou Weaving?" asked Doudou, wiping his hands on his apron and raising his blushing little face.

"No, no, young master, I have something to do today, something serious!"

"It's not Rou Weaving Girl, that's Rong Niang!" Doudou whispered, lifted his apron and took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels from it and handed them to Yu Yu, "Young Master, how many money do you have in the future, you should ask, otherwise such a 'flower', what will we do in the future?"

"Well, yes, it's time to ask!" Yu Yu took the silver ticket, put it in his pocket, put the holy decree, lifted the spear under the old locust tree, and said to Doudou, "Doudou, young master, I'm leaving!"

Seeing that Doudou didn't speak, Yu Yu coughed twice and strode towards Wangjiang Tower!

Qifeng Street and Wangjiang Tower are actually very far apart, but Yu Yu's footsteps are very fast, even if he doesn't need to work lightly, he can walk dozens of miles in a short time.

When he came to Wangjiang Tower, Yu Yu did not go to find Rou Weaving, nor did he look for Rong Niang, but went directly to Lord Ning Yue. Just like he said to Doudou, he came to Wangjianglou, and he did have a serious matter!

"What are you looking for me?" Ning Yue was wearing a pale yellow 'colored' long skirt, her eyebrows were curved, her smoke was full of autumn 'waves', her Zhu 'lips' were lightly tapped, her temples and a strand of black silk hung down to her sideburns, and her fair face was as calm as ever, as if the ancient well was not 'wave'.

Although she looks nearly forty years old, Ning Yue's charm is unique, it is the beauty of mature 'female' and 'sexual', and it has the lethality to provoke male 'sex' of any age.

Although they had met several times, every time they saw Ning Yue, Yu Yu couldn't help but have his heart beat faster and his qi and blood rising. Suppressing his dirty thoughts, Yu Yu hurriedly said carefully, "I came today to ask Lord Ning Yue for advice!"

"I don't dare to be, you are all loyal and righteous marquis, what do you say, please ask!" Ning Yue glanced at Yu Yu, obviously knowing about his being named Zhongyi Marquis. But the attitude is obviously not very impressed.

Yu Yu laughed dryly and said, "Let Lord Ning Yue laugh, I came today, I really have something to ask you for!"

Ning Yue nodded, and said, "What's the matter with you, say it!"

"Just now I got the holy decree, and the emperor asked me to hunt together, not to accompany me, but to hunt together!" Yu Yu said the content of the holy decree in detail, Ning Yue frowned after hearing this, and there was also a little 'confused' and 'confused' in her expression.

"You're going hunting?" Ning Yue looked at Yu Yu and was speechless for a long time.

The autumn hunting of the Great Yan Kingdom, few people of the Yan Kingdom do not know, every autumn, the emperor will take the prince, the prince, and the little prince to hunt together, accompanied by the minister. However, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, they only accompany and do not participate in the hunt. Donghuang Mountain is a royal garden, in which there are not only some birds of prey, but also many grazing beasts. There is half a month of hunting every year.

Of course, this is not a certainty, and there are some emperors who do not like this event, and if the weather is bad, or if there is something big in the court in the autumn, this event will be canceled. Last year, the year before last, that is, the twenty-fourth and twenty-third years of Yanguo Xuanwei, the hunt was not held for some other reason.

But, anyway, this event is a royal event. In other words, it's a wild outing where a family cultivates feelings, and you come in with a foreign ginseng, what's going on?

There are very few precedents! Occasionally, only those who have made significant contributions to the imperial court and have been officials in the court for many years can enjoy this treatment.

This is a favor, although it is just playing, but being able to participate in it shows that this person has been appreciated by the emperor of the current dynasty!

Yu Yu understands these things. At that time, the first thought that came to his mind was the Queen Mother, probably because the Queen Mother's illness was cured by blood ginseng, so the emperor let him go hunting together, but if you think about it, it's not right. The emperor has already rewarded himself for the matter of blood ginseng?

"You tell me, why were you made a loyal marquis by His Majesty the Emperor!" Ning Yue looked at Yu Yu and asked for a long time.

Yu Yu didn't think much about it. Originally, this matter was not a big secret, the emperor had actually said it in the court, and it was estimated that many people in the Holy City knew about exchanging blood ginseng for a marquis at this time. Moreover, for no reason, he felt that Ning Yue was a person who could be trusted, just like when he saw Xiao Baiyu that day, he felt that he was a person who could be trusted.

After saying it briefly, Ning Yue's face became a little ugly, and she smiled bitterly and said to herself, "Monk, I didn't expect that the monk would have the opportunity to encounter such an adventure, a ginseng can live for 10,000 years, and it can also bring people back to life and increase their lifespan!"

Yu Yu was stunned, and his chin almost hit the surface of his feet!

Nima, this Lord Ning Yue is definitely a person with a story!
