Chapter 331: What the hell is Spring Hunting?
"Then when is the prince's spring hunt arranged?" King Li Jun is not annoyed, anyway, there is no need for an old guy like him to go out for such a thing as hunting, and it is nothing to participate once.
"The day after tomorrow." King Gui listened to King Li's answer, and immediately regained his smile: "If the King of County wants to rest, he can do it himself." It's actually a young man's thing. ”
It is exactly what King Li Jun wants.
King Li looked at Ning Junwu, and Ning Junwu wrinkled his eyebrows. Swords and guns have no eyes, and hunting is always prone to accidents. If you don't move your weapon, you can't kill or injure a beast, but if you move your weapon, you often have an arrow that misses it, a knife that makes a mistake, or a beast that doesn't get killed and pounces, etc., so it's best not to get this on the road.
In the spring, many beasts wake up from hibernation, hungry in their bellies, and their temperaments are very irritable, and some are just in estrus, which is even more elusive, and in Daqi, there are also shortcomings in the terrain that are not familiar, so it is better not to participate or not to participate.
Ning Junwu shook his head at King Lijun.
Of course, it was shaken for King Li Jun, but everyone was at the same table, who couldn't see whom?
King Gui didn't wait for King Li Junjun to speak, he directly stretched out his hand and nodded at Ning Junwu, and said with a smile: "Spring hunting is the tradition of our Guibu City, and everyone who is invited is overjoyed. Look at you, you look like a character, how come you look like a rooster - you can't touch the egg?! ”
The gang burst into laughter.
Ning Junwu raised his eyebrows. Is this man really King Gui? Not fake? Isn't it vulgar to speak?
Seeing that King Gui seemed to be joking, but his expression gradually became hideous, King Li Jun hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Ning is also worried about the emperor's life. When we arrived in the capital, there were still many mundane affairs. ”
It's not just about sending people before the big wedding, there are really other things, just delivering documents between the two countries, etc., it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
Don't overestimate the efficiency of the official ape.
"Okay then," King Gui gave King Li Jun a face: "In the past, spring hunting would be carried out for three days, but this time it will only be held for one day, no matter what the harvest is, let you go." How is it? ”
Three days are compressed into one day.
King Li had no choice but to give up.
……
……
Chu Ji seemed to be playing soy sauce, and after eating a good meal in the past, they got into the carriage again, made a big detour, and came back.
Two days later, the news of the spring hunt was going on, of course, spread quickly.
The guards rubbed their fists and felt that it was a good opportunity to perform.
When hunting, the more honorable the person, the less things to do.
Someone drove the prey out, and then shot a few arrows or chopped a few knives, and skillfully asked the master to add the last straw, well, not a straw, but to add the last knife, or shoot an arrow, so that the prey fell at the feet of the master, and became the master's 'hunt'.
When I came to Daqi, I actually had the opportunity to gallop across the horses, and everyone was full of energy, ready to give Daqi people a good look.
……
……
Along the way, the boats and cars kept changing, and it was really fake to say that I was not tired. Now that they want to stay in Guibu City for a few more days, Chu Ji still secretly welcomes them in their hearts. What's more, the reason for staying is spring hunting. According to the general practice, most of the men hunt for the women, and the Chu Ji think that there will be fun to watch.
Miss Qin Si had already recovered from the dock incident and happily came to talk to Xia Xiaodong.
"Sister Xiaodong, do you know what beasts there are in this area?" Miss Qin Si looked very yearning: "I really don't know what Daqi has." ”
"I'm not as good as you, I know that there. It's just foxes, rabbits, and bears. Xia Xiaodong said and motioned to the maid to pour tea.
lived in this courtyard, and King Gui gave many maids, so Xia Xiaodong let Ah Qi and Doudou rest. The local maids were familiar with the way and did things quickly, but they were dressed in a slightly strange way - each maid was half-covered, but her nose and mouth were covered.
I don't go out, and I don't see a foreign man, what are you doing with your face covered? Xia Xiaodong asked, but the maids said in unison, saying that it was the special rules of the Guiwang Mansion. Fortunately, it was just a little special, and there were no other inconveniences, so Xia Xiaodong didn't pay attention to it.
The maid didn't move, and her eyes were a little surprised.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xiaodong looked at the maid.
"This girl ......" The maid pointed at Miss Qin Si a little rudely: "Were you talking about spring hunting just now?" ”
"That's right." Without waiting for Xia Xiaodong to answer, Miss Qin Si answered by herself. This is obvious, it's not a spring hunt, it's a beast.
"But ......, but ......" the maid's eyes widened, and she said incoherently "but" for a long time, but still could not come up with anything.
"Is there anything special about this spring hunt?" Xia Xiaodong saw the signs.
The maid made two uh-uh noises in her throat, and suddenly asked, "What do the girls think the spring hunt is for?" ”
"Of course, it's because it's spring, when everything is recovering, and I went to the hunting ground to hunt." Miss Qin Si replied first.
"Uh-" The maid swallowed her saliva and waited for a long time before replying, "But in this Guibu City, spring hunting is a tradition. ”
Still traditional? Even if it's traditional, it's still hunting. Miss Qin Si said curiously: "How long has it been a tradition?" ”
It's called a tradition, do you want to be 180 years old?
"It has only begun since King Gui entered the city." The maid bowed her head.
How old is King Gui? That is, not a few years? Can this also be called traditional?
"Because everyone is very impressed, even though it has not been implemented for many years, it is still regarded as a tradition." The maid's smile couldn't have been more forced.
"Then what's so special about your spring hunting in Guibu City?" Xia Xiaodong asked.
The maid looked around with her eyes, and suddenly blushed, and said in a low voice: "It is said that the prince rose up one day and said: 'Spring is boundless, I should hunt it.'" Since then, there has been a custom of spring hunting. ”
What's the color? Spring?!
This spring is different from the other. Spring huntingSpring hunting, it has nothing to do with spring, what you hunt is the boundless 'spring'?
Xia Xiaodong and Miss Qin Si glanced at each other, both a little stunned.
How do you hunt this 'spring'?
……
……
"No way!" Ning Junwu shouted at King Lijun: "I can't imagine that King Gui, as a royal family, is so shameless!" We must not participate! ”
Even the old and dim-witted King of Li Jun, after hearing the absurd and unheard of rules of 'Spring Hunting', could not oppose Ning Junwu's opinion.
"Then find someone who is appropriate, and go over and talk to him. Let's just say that we are tired from the journey, and we really can't afford to participate. King Li Jun sighed, feeling that this Guibu City was really annoying: "If you annoy King Gui, even if you don't let us go, it's also a troublesome thing." ”
"He is so ridiculous, can Zhou Jianhong ignore this?" Ning Junwu was extremely dissatisfied with King Gui, and even called Emperor Qi by name.
