Chapter 337: Arriving at the Hunting Ground

Thanks to Xie Wanru, although this family banquet did not end unhappily in the end, the atmosphere was not as harmonious as at the beginning. So not long after, Jiang Cangyun and Liu said goodbye and took their sons back to their residence.

And Jiang Duanyu first followed Jiang Cangjin and Jiang Junzheng to bow to the ancestral tablet, and then listened to Jiang Junzheng's lecture, and when he came out of Jiang Junzheng, he was pulled by Jiang Cangjin to talk for a long time. By the time Jiang Duanyu finally got out and returned to the Red Dress Courtyard, it was almost the third watch.

Shu Jin was talking and was waiting for him without sleeping, which made Jiang Duanyu very happy.

He told Shu Jin a lot of things that happened on the way to suppress bandits, and what happened after he went to the beach, and finally took out the gift he prepared for Shu Jin: ?

A string of bracelets made of seashell polishing and strung together.

The whole bracelet is made of scallops the size of fingernails, as well as brightly colored silk snails, and shells that Shu Jin can't name with fishing lines, which are very strong, and because of the colorful colors, they look unique and beautiful, even people like Shu Jin who don't have much feeling for jewelry can't help but like it.

Jiang Duanyu's eyes lit up and he said:

"I picked all these shells myself, and then I picked up small holes of comparable size and strung them together. Although it is not worth much, I dare say that there is only this string in the world! ”

Shu Jin fiddled with the things in his hand, carefully examining them under the light, and he didn't know how long he had been picking these things, but they were really fresh and beautiful.

Now that I think about it, Shu Jin has never seen the real sea in his two lives.

In her last life, she grew up in the interior. Later, after the end of the world, the beasts on land will be difficult to deal with enough, and the creatures in the sea will often be in tons, no matter how level of ability you are. When they got to sea, they didn't come back. So, she never even came near the beach.

"Listening to you say that, the seaside seems to be very interesting, and I must visit it when I have time."

Shu Jin put the bracelet on his wrist and said with a smile.

"Okay, when my ship is ready, let's get on the boat and go out to sea." Jiang Duanyu saw Shu Jin and put the bracelet on directly. I was happy in my heart, and I was happy when I heard the words.

This time the bandits gave him a chance to return to the sea. This made him seem to find the feeling of sailing with his master all over the world again. He really wanted to take Shu Jin to the places he had been to one day and take a look.

The two chatted until midnight this time, but fortunately, Shu Jin was resting on the second day. The early dynasty didn't have anything to do with Jiang Duanyu. So it won't delay anything.

The next day, the two went to King Yong's Mansion together, and when Jiang Duanyu came back, he should naturally visit King Yong, and then the two stayed in Yipin Pavilion for an afternoon, and they didn't return to the Mansion until the evening.

At King Yong's place, Shu Jin confirmed the news of the autumn hunt, and Shu Jin was indeed assigned to be in charge of food supply.

However, this is not to say that everyone's food is in her hands. Even the imperial dining room in the palace is not something that can be done by one person, not to mention the countless princes, ministers, and family children who accompanied him during the autumn hunt. If you leave it all to one person to take care of, you want to tire people to death. So Shu Jin is actually only responsible for some dishes and some people's meals.

In other words, the food cooked by Shu Jin is actually provided to people with enough status and status.

Think about it, Shu Jin is also a Xiangtang county lord now, if any cat or dog can eat Shu Jin's food casually, then what is the difference between her and the chef of an ordinary restaurant?

The hunting ground for autumn hunting is in Jiangshuozhou, northwest of Changdu, where a large area of grassland and forest is enclosed, as a royal hunting ground, and the autumn hunting is carried out there every year. In normal times, there are special personnel stationed to patrol, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

The emperor took his sons and courtiers to travel, and the momentum was naturally mighty, and the team of the autumn hunt was first opened by the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, then a part of the three guards in the palace were drawn out, and then the Qianniuwei who was the imperial guard, and then the chariots of the emperor, the prince, and the princes.

Then came the civil and military officials and their entourage, followed by the Praetorian Guard. They were followed by some carts, horses, and mules transporting food utensils, as well as some rough palace men, grooms, palanquins, and so on. When he left Changdu, Shu Jin glanced back at the team in his carriage, and he was really waving the flag, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

On both sides of the team, there was a guard on horseback every few meters, looking solemn, so that Shu Jin, who had never experienced this kind of autumn hunting, couldn't help but look forward to this trip.

The way to the hunting ground is not a day to arrive, on the way several times camped, and because you have to arrive at the hunting ground on time, everything is simple, the food is also brought out from the long capital before, the cooking is also very simple, even the emperor will occasionally take the prince and Qi Zhao to gallop, so it is not a leisurely trip.

The details along the way were not listed, and by the evening of the third day, we finally arrived at the hunting ground.

When they arrived at the camping position designated by the hunting ground, the emperor's ministers and other people could naturally rest, and the train began to stop, and there were special people responsible for setting up camp.

In the end, the camp was formed, the emperor's camp was in the center, and then the eight directions were the prince, Qi Zhao, King Yong, Jiang Junzheng, and other nobles' camps, followed by other lower-level civil and military ministers.

The security patrol of the camp has been studied for a long time, this is the top priority, and it is naturally handed over to the emperor's trusted person, and it is Bao Guodong who is responsible for the entire security of the camp.

When they finally arrived at their destination, everyone couldn't help but move their muscles and bones while constantly breathing the fresh air in the mountains, forests and grasslands.

The first meal outside the hunting ground was much more abundant than the first few days, in addition to the food brought from Changdu, there were also animal meat and mountain goods purchased from the nearby residents.

Although it was autumn, it was difficult to preserve the meat, so there was not much in the team at all. By this time, large pieces of meat were boiled in a pot over the fire, and the smell of meat wafted throughout the camp.

After a few days of eating foods such as coarse biscuits, grains, and vegetable soups, this is simply a delicacy in the world.

By this time, the emperor had not yet made an order to let Shu Jin cook, obviously until tomorrow's prey returned, and Shu Jin's good skills would really come in handy.

After dinner, Shu Jin checked and familiarized herself with the utensils brought out from the palace, and supervised the handymen to build some simple pots and tables for her cooking. As for hunting, she actually wanted to go too, but one thing that made it difficult was that she couldn't ride a horse......

Therefore, on the first night, when everyone else went back to their camp to rest, Jiang Duanyu and Shu Jin led their horses and walked outside the camp. (To be continued......)
