Chapter 228: On the Road
In the blink of an eye, when it was time for the autumn season, Mu Bowen wanted to take the exam, and Mu Jinrou, who was a younger sister, naturally had to make a contribution. She made a new pair of shoes from the leather that Li Yi gave her, and a pair of cotton gloves. Then he made a lot of food with the fat girl, so that he could eat better in the Gongyuan.
However, Bai Forsythia came every few days, learning to eat with Mu Jinrou under the pretext of sending pills, and asked some precautions for Qiu Yu from time to time, and also pulled Luo Erniang as a cover.
Then Mu Jinrou noticed the difference, and looked her up and down, this Nizi looked like a big grin, but this would be like a peach blossom, with a smile in the corners of her eyes, and a bright spring look.
Mu Jinrou had the intention of teasing, and said with a smile: "Sister Forsythia, little sister, I have read a hexagram book, and today I saw my sister's face and suddenly remembered a hexagram, and then I pinched my fingers and counted it!" ”
Bai Forsythia was puzzled: "What hexagram?" Bluff it. ”
Mu Jinrou smiled, "Hongluan Xingxing, Sister Forsythia, this is a happy event." Say, Who is that man? ”
Bai Forsythia was empty-hearted, and looked at Mu Jinrou with flickering eyes, no one knew about what she liked about Han Zihao, and what she did was secret, how could this girl figure it out?
If it weren't for Mu Jinrou and Li Yi being married by the emperor, Han Zihao would still be dreaming of marrying Mu Jinrou in the future. It was also because of this marriage that he said something in front of Han Zihao, who had drunk too much, and he treated himself differently, but they didn't tell outsiders about it. Is she really a goddess stick?
"Tell me quickly, do you want my sister to help?" Mu Jinrou asked again. She found that the white forsythia was very different from usual, and she really had the rhythm of her sweetheart.
Bai Forsythia pursed his lips, pulled him to him and whispered, "Don't tell outsiders about this." ”
"I promise not to." Mu Jinrou immediately promised.
"Yes. It's Han Zihao. ”
Mu Jinrou blinked her eyes and looked at Bai Forsythia, she was really shocked. Han Zihao looks like a perfect person, but he is too angry, and he really doesn't know what the white forsythia who dares to act likes him, but this is a good thing.
Seeing her like this, Bai Forsythia was not a little uneasy and said, "No." Isn't it appropriate? ”
Mu Jinrou shook her head, "Great." I've got your back! ”
Anyone who is free to love, she supports it. The little sisters around me have found their sweethearts one by one. It doesn't get any better than that.
The white forsythia was red, and said embarrassedly: "This, these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet." ”
Mu Jinrou said: "After the autumn season, there will be a handful, and tomorrow I will win the champion." Then the eight characters are not drawn. ”
Luo Erniang also laughed on the side. She knew that.
In this way, Mu Jinrou, Bai Forsythia and Luo Erniang did what they could prepare for Qiuyi.
Sending Mu Bowen to the Tribute Courtyard, after watching the gate of the Tribute Courtyard close, Mu Jinrou felt that everyone had a home, and the days in the future should be smooth, and they could be rice worms with peace of mind.
But as soon as the thought flashed, it was immediately cut off, and there was still a family of the best waiting in Andingbo's Mansion.
When the list was unveiled, the names of Mu Bowen and Han Zihao were on it, and Han Zihao was the first name. Mu Bowen is second, and they really attract a lot of eyeballs. It is estimated that those who are ready to catch their sons-in-law under the list have also figured out how to catch their son-in-law next time.
Mu Bowen became a lifter, which made the people in Andingbo's mansion very troubled. Except for Mu Shouzheng, everyone felt that they were happy that the brother and sister were not doing well, but now it was the opposite.
There were a series of accidents in the house, and the two people who were struggling to make a living in the hands of the Hu family, one was promoted and the other became the county lord. It's useless for them to envy, jealousy, and hate, but they can't trouble the two of them at this time, because Mu Boyuan will get married in a few days.
For this big wedding, Andingbo's Mansion can be described as a swollen face and a fat man, and all aspects are decent, but only the family knows how to do it inside. Rao is so, but also scraped a layer of skin in the treasury of the house, and now the treasury is afraid that rats are not willing to stay, just waiting for the autumn grain to enter the warehouse after the exchange of silver.
But each room still has a lot of private property in his hands, and no one takes it out, only Mu Shouzheng, a stupid family member, takes it out, and wholeheartedly believes that Mu Boyuan has learned well, and if he marries his relatives, he can slowly bring the Bofu to the better.
Mu Jinrou also knows a little about this, and she is even a little tired of the scumbag father, their brother has no feelings for this biological father, and naturally he doesn't care about whether he is doing well or badly. I just feel that my mother Ye is too worthless, how can such a scumbag let her take a lifetime?
In the blink of an eye, it is August 15, the royal autumn hunt is ahead, and the various celebrations are also much inferior.
But at this time, a few more places were added to the autumn hunting quota, including Mu Bowen and Han Zihao, which are said to be based on the results of the autumn hunt. But well-informed people knew that the two of them were recommended by the crown prince, and of course the king of Qin also recommended two.
It's just that one of them is Mu Boyuan, but he is scheduled to get married on August 18, and the departure date of the autumn hunt is August 17, so it is a pity to miss the autumn hunt. And Mu Jinrou's brothers and sisters can also not participate openly, and they also save gifts, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.
On the 17th of August, the guards of the palace waited at the gates of the palaces early, and led the way after the carriages came out.
Anyone who goes, whether it is a rich young master or a lady, is only allowed to bring two subordinates, a maximum of two carriages, one for people, and one for things.
Mu Jinrou and Mu Bowen each took a carriage, and the daily necessities they needed were placed in another carriage, and the two cars of the brother and sister were considered to be few, they didn't want to be the first bird, and they were low-key in everything.
It's just that Mu Jinrou only learned yesterday that every autumn hunt is a training ground for the imperial court to select talents, even if it is a scholar, you must have the courage not to be afraid of blood. On the contrary, even if they are talented, there is no need for timid ministers in the court.
Generally speaking, the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty were very good, the people were basically well fed, and the methods of dealing with foreign enemies were also very tough. Otherwise, the two Turkic princes would not have lived in such a low-key inn.
It's just that even the best trees can find a scar, and every time there is a change of government, there is always some bloodshed. Now that Emperor Jing is already old, it seems that this is the last time he will organize an autumn hunt. I want to find a successor from it. But who will be the successor? It has not yet been fully decided, which is dangerous for a dynasty.
But what does this have to do with her Mu Jinrou?
She shook her head again and again when she closed her eyes in the car, but there was still something related to their ladies. It can also be said that it has something to do with her.
The reason why the royal family chose so many ladies is also based on their quality and emergency response ability in case of emergencies. In order to find good virtuous helpers among the talents in the court.
It's just a pity that after the hard work of the founding emperor, the royal autumn hunt has now become a gold-plated card, even if these girls don't catch good talents in it, they can find a good in-law when they come back.
And it has also become a good place for revenge and revenge, and many vicious women have harmed their opponents here. Anyway, when people die, there are still traces of beasts destroying corpses, and it is really a natural place to settle grievances.
It stands to reason. These things should be hidden in the eyes of the royal people, but every time there will be some ladies who can't come back. Comparatively speaking, the talents are more sensible. Maybe it's the relationship with the emperor.
But this autumn hunt, Mu Jinrou felt that the danger had become greater, not only to guard against wild beasts but also against teammates. After all, there are two evil women walking together, and this time it is Concubine De and Concubine Shu who follow the emperor Qiu Hunt. Maybe it can really lose more than half of the girlfriends.
Feel the mini crossbow in your sleeve. Mu Jinrou's heart was a little calmer. I checked the dagger in my little boots again, and I was sure of it, and finally I touched the two bracelets, and I was suddenly full of confidence.
looked at the lotus flower and said to the fat girl: "This time we will stay outside for at least half a month." Are you two ready? ”
The lotus flower doesn't matter, she is always floating in the north and south of the river, and said with a smile: "No problem, don't worry, the county lord." ”
It's the first time for a fat girl to go out so far, and I'm still a little excited. "Don't worry, no matter where the fat girl is, she can make delicious buns."
"Huh." It's buns again. Mu Jinrou was convinced of this girl, and was bought by a few buns of her own, and followed with all her heart, and her skills became making buns.
However, Mu Jinrou was very happy, she was fully prepared, as long as there was no big battle, she should not die.
She was worried, and Mu Bowen, who was walking in front of her, was also worried.
The little guys who followed him were Sanxian and Siping, and their kung fu was good, but Mu Bowen still told him carefully, "You two should talk less and watch things more, safety first." I usually look at my little sister more, she is not a big man than us in a girl's family. ”
"Yes, Childe."
"In a while, the two of you will go down to change eleven or twelve to rest, and let Sanqiu and Lao Tang come together, it will take four or five days on this road, so you can just change and catch the car."
When they were halfway through the break, Eleventh and Twelfth sat down in front of Mu Bowen.
Mu Bowen said: "You two can usually pay attention to the little sister, He Sanqiu will return to you, let Lao Tang follow me, and come to my side during dinner." ”
"Yes!" Eleven and Twelfth also knew Mu Bowen's kung fu, not to mention that Li Yi had already instructed them to protect the four girls even if they were desperate.
In front of it, there were the guards of the road, then the chariots of the royal family, and then the chariots of the ministers and young talents who were advancing according to their ranks, and Mu Jinrou's carriage was also mixed in. There are also cavalry escorts from the imperial court on both sides, which can be described as safe, but it is too inconvenient to go to the toilet.
Fortunately, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has this need, and every hour has a quarter of an hour to rest. The subordinates brought by the royal family would set up temporary latrines, of course, surrounded by black cloth, which could be regarded as solving the problem.
When night fell, the tents were set up one by one, but fortunately, there were not many delicate girls who followed, only ten, except for a niece of Queen Song's maiden family and a maiden niece of Concubine De, Mu Jinrou knew everything.
After the tent was set up, the royal attendants retreated, and as for the meal, they had to take care of it themselves. Therefore, each lady has a simple small stove.
Mu Jinrou didn't understand very much, what kind of wind did the emperor smoke, and he must pull so many irrelevant people to suffer. If you want to hunt yourself, you can just bring a team of people to fight, how can these helpless women help? It's pretty much the same.
But when you think about it, this is absolutely unspeakable, and that is disrespectful.
Whether it is respectful or disrespectful, it is a person who has to eat. Mu Jinrou is very glad that she has a fat girl, everyone else just eats some snacks and boils some hot water to drink, but the fat girl is already boiling porridge on the small stove.
Sitting on a special small stool, Mu Jinrou drank delicious gruel and asked, "Lotus, who sent this water?" It's not easy to get some water in the back of the village. ”
Who knew that the lotus laughed twice, "The county lord's words are wrong, there is a royal post station not far ahead, and the royal family can rest there." ”
Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw the exquisite building in front of him, and the corners of Mu Jinrou's mouth twitched, this is to pull them to find abuse. Or the emperor will enjoy it, he can't even take a hot bath when he sleeps outside, and he doesn't know what will be dirty when he gets to the hunting ground.
"Oh, I'm really not used to calling the county lord, don't call it." Since Mu Jinrou got this title, Mrs. Dong instructed her subordinates in the family to call her the county lord.
Lotus and the fat girl looked at each other and smiled, "It should be." "Mu Jinrou's status is high, and their worth has risen accordingly.
When I went to the toilet, I ran into the Mu Jinshang sisters, several people stood opposite each other, no one spoke, as if no one wanted to go first.
Just when they couldn't hold each other, Xinyue appeared, she walked through the middle with a sneer, and made a throat-cutting motion when she turned her head to look at Mu Jinrou, "Let's see." ”
Then I went straight to the makeshift latrine.
Mu Jinrou's face changed suddenly, is this threatening herself? It's scary to cut your throat.
Mu Jinsheng on the side was sparkling, as if he had discovered something interesting, and turned around and left with his two younger sisters, and this is not the only temporary toilet here.
Lotus whispered: "Don't be afraid, the county lord, I think this new moon is not cleaned up, and I am not afraid that my throat will be cut halfway." ”
"Don't mess around." Mu Jinrou shook her head again and again, "She can't die in our Great Xia Dynasty, let alone in our camp, otherwise you, me, and our families will have to bury her." Go elsewhere! ”
In any case, the new moon is also the lord of the Turkic people, representing a small country. But people can't be suffocated by urine, and reputation or something will be talked about later.
This time, Mu Jinrou pulled Bai Forsythia and Luo Erniang, with Bai Forsythia as a miracle doctor, she was not afraid of being plotted.
Who knew that Luo Erniang's girl was more direct, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's all Gong buckets, let's build one ourselves, anyway, we don't need much cloth." It's just that I didn't eat along the way, so I followed the county lord to eat. ”
Mu Jinrou smiled and nodded, this girl is good, what kind of master is there and what kind of girl, she is as refreshing as Luo Erniang.
They stopped and stopped, and finally arrived near the hunting ground in the evening of the fourth day.
It is a large place, with a royal annex in front of which is a large school yard, and black and white tents are set up on both sides of the gate of the royal annex.
The white tents on the east side are for women, and the white tents on the west side are for men, separated by cloth on both sides of the road. There is a maid standing guard in three or two steps, and if there is something, the royal people will know in a blink of an eye.
Before he unloaded his luggage, a waiter came to convey the message, "Girls, please bring bathing utensils and go to the hot spring with the slaves and maids." (To be continued.) )
