Chapter 116: Play
Cui Wanqing smiled and comforted Meng Yuele and said: "Let's just not go today, let them have a good time today, play freely for a day, and they will accompany us to hunt near the mountain pass tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will let my cousin and them catch hares for you to play, okay?" â
Cao Tang pouted, hugged Cui Wanqing's arm and shook it, "Not only a little rabbit, but also a little squirrel, to be a companion at home." â
"Okay, okay, no problem, whatever you want, just let my cousin catch what they want, and satisfy you, right?" Cui Wanqing replied without a mouth.
She is now as long as Cao Tang no longer has a temperament, everything else is a small problem, there are so many hunting masters, are you afraid that she will not be satisfied?
In fact, Cui Wanqing has always felt in her heart that it doesn't matter if she enters the mountain or not, anyway, she has not much interest in leading horses and archery, and it is okay to see others playing in style, but if she is allowed to go into battle in person, she is really a little lazy, and she is very reluctant to go.
Besides, the scenery of this mountain pass is really good, it is said to be a mountain pass, except for the mountain road they came over, it is surrounded by old woods, Cui Wanqing has seen it carefully, and some trees can't be surrounded by a few people, it must be hundreds of years old trees.
Needless to say, the miles of land they are going to camp on today are all cleared out bit by bit by hunters who have gone forward and followed each other, and some of the more than 100 servants are busy today.
However, Cui Wanqing quietly observed the meeting, and saw a little famous, among these servants, there was a strong man wearing a blue short-shirted shirt with a calm expression, who was the leader of these people.
This person is quite capable, and soon figured out how to lay out the camp, and made a rough idea, the safe place against the mountain root is the tent of the young ladies, and the row of tall tents in the distance must be the resting place of the nobles and sons.
And on the very edge, by the forest, needless to say, the guards and guards lived, and as for the servants, it was on the boundary where the edge of the forest and the stream meet.
This layout is very reasonable, the masters are in the inner circle, the guards, and the servants are protected in the outer circle, Cui Wanqing secretly said that the Meng family has a lot of talents, and there seems to be no such talent in his own family, if the third brother really wants to make achievements in the court, release is a way to go, should he be reminded as soon as possible, and also find such a good manager who is good at arranging the overall situation?
Because of the essential difference between today's old forest and the forest I went to yesterday, there is danger here, and from time to time there will be fierce beasts sneaking out.
Meng Zetian had a clear understanding of the situation here, so there were at least twenty or thirty guards left to protect the young ladies, and they all looked shrewd and capable, and it was estimated that it was also the essence of the Meng family.
These people have been entrusted by their masters, where do they dare to be perfunctory? Soon the team was divided, and the team paid attention to those places, and they were all clearly distinguished.
Now they are all guarding all places, holding their spirits, standing far away, not daring to slack off and be vigilant everywhere, their eyes are always close to the ladies, just to watch out for a case.
Cui Wanqing and her sisters, in order not to hinder people from setting up tents and arranging the venue, asked the maid's mother to find a shady place by the stream, spread a large piece of brocade cloth, and spread a layer of cotton cushion on the brocade cloth, on which two short-legged small square tables were placed, seven thick cushions, and then put snacks and fruits on the table, and a ground kang was arranged.
Cui Wanqing sat on the soft cushion, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at a few pretty maids who were boiling water with a small clay stove not far away.
This is the hottest time, Cui Wanqing and the others have taken off their cloaks, holding all kinds of beauty fans in their hands to play, Zheng Xiu'er also fanned twice with the current, and couldn't help laughing, "Alas, the wind of the fan is not as refreshing as the wind blowing by the stream, but it is really too much." â
Cui Wanqing smiled sweetly and made fun, "Sister Xiu'er, have you brought all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" Look at a few little maids boiling water and cooking tea, fluttering clothes, dancing hairpins, and with this green mountains and green water, blue sky and white clouds, it is as beautiful as a painting, you will paint a picture for us to leave a souvenir? â
Zheng Xiuer already loves painting, and she takes her beloved things with her wherever she goes, when she hears what Cui Wanqing said, she looks at it intently, isn't it a ready-made painting?
She was hooked by Cui Wanqing, and her hands were a little itchy, and she immediately called the maid to get something, and after a while, there was another yellow pear lotus cloud pattern folding long book case on the brocade mat, Zheng Xiuer cleaned her hands under the maid's service, and the rice paper that had been paved, the pen was dipped in thick ink, and she began to sketch the picture.
Cui Wanqing came to Zheng Xiu'er's side to watch her paint, Cui Wanyun followed and sat on the other side to watch, but Cao Tang couldn't bear to sit still, so he pulled Cui Wanying to the stream to see the small fish.
And Cao Ying and Lu Shuang'er, the two people who love to get out of trouble the most, may also be affected by this beautiful and quiet environment, and they have become very easy-going, and there is no sign of provoking trouble at all.
The two of them can probably talk about it together, and their temperaments are quite similar, they are friends with common hobbies, the two of them hold hands, take the maid to the edge of the forest to pick flowers and enjoy the scenery, the forest here is old, some wild roses, wild roses grow very well, not much worse than the domestic, it is also a bit of a sight.
Lu Shuang'er is a person who loves to raise flowers and grass, and when he saw a rare clump of pink and white spot peonies, he couldn't help but call the mother-in-law next to him to get a hoe, to dig it out and bring it back to the capital to feed.
Because of today's young ladies, all dressed neatly, even if they walk into the forest, there will be no worse situation, watching the excitement of the two of them laughing, and the two sturdy mothers, holding long branches in front of the road.
Later, they followed a lot of lively maids, and even Cao Tang and the two of them by the stream followed curiously, everyone wanted to see how this bush of peonies was dug up and how it was preserved.
Cui Wanqing looked at the large number of people gathered in an instant, and smiled lightly, I didn't expect this Lu Shuang'er to be a flower raiser, it seems that she is quite attentive to these flowers, and if she wants to love flowers and plants, she is not too stupid, is her delicate appearance on weekdays deliberately made to show others?
Thinking about Lu Shuang'er's every move on weekdays, and then thinking about the Lu family's family history, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly it became a little clear, it seems that this person is also a last resort.
Zheng Xiu'er, who was holding a pen and dipping it in ink, was affected by her, so she followed her eyes and looked over, her eyes rolled, and the corners of her mouth were also raised high, obviously seeing what she was thinking.
Cui Wanyun took a bite of the honey milk cake with a smile, and also looked at the lively crowd in the distance, but said to Cui Wanqing: "Didn't the ninth sister just say it?" Those people today want to be happy there, and tomorrow they will accompany us to open meat with peace of mind. â
"But have you paid attention to the mountain pass they entered, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, at a glance inside, it is full of old trees, dark and dark, you can't see far, I heard people say, this kind of hundreds of years of forests, the most favorite things to become essence, among these wild things, foxes and snakes are the easiest to become essence, nine sister, you are the most fond of reading, you say, will we meet tomorrow?"
Cui Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, didn't she like to read those words to relieve boredom in her previous life?
In this life, the taste is a little higher, but they all read the travelogue codex, here more or less, will talk about some mysterious things, thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the intersection of the mountain, I don't know if I was scared, obviously so far away, Cui Wanqing really felt that there was a cold outside.
"Don't listen to the fifth sister's nonsense, she is teasing you, you are the most fond of copying scriptures, with the blessing of the Buddha, afraid of those?" For Cui Wanqing, who was chilled, this statement was no less than the morning bell and dusk drum, and a word woke up the person in the dream, and when she heard the sound to see, it was actually her fourth sister Cui Wanying who spoke!
This thought that she was not interested in digging flowers, so she helped the maid to walk back to rest, she spoke with a straight face, and sat next to the desk, directing the maid to change the hot tea to use, looking inexplicably zĂ i.
Cui Wanqing really felt that she couldn't understand it anymore, really, Cui Wanyun, who had always been good friends with her, didn't know what evil she had fallen into, and she was angry with herself yin and yang, and the fourth sister, who had always looked down on her, was taught by her grandmothers in just a few months, and instantly turned into a lady for everyone, and she even protected herself and helped herself!
Cui Wanyun saw that she was careful about her idea, and she was not annoyed by Cui Wanying's words, she laughed more and more happily, and her face did not change, but it made people feel that what she said just now was probably just joking with her sister.
Zheng Xiu'er tilted her head with a smile, her eyes crossed the faces of the three Cui family sisters one by one, shook her head gently, and then raised her hand to paint by herself.
Cui Wanqing couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, her own jokes were better not to be seen by outsiders, she stood up and walked to the case, and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, is the osmanthus bean paste cold cake delicious?" â
"It's not bad, it's not very tired." Cui Wanying held a small silver spoon in her hand, digging up the cold cake and eating it little by little, "If you add some honey, it should be a little more delicious." â
Ying Qiao thought about it when she heard this, clapped her hands, and said, "This morning, the maid seems to have seen someone with a honey jar, so the maid will look for it, and the two young ladies will wait a while." â
Cui Wanying's maid and Zheng Xiuer's maid Yingcai saw this, so they followed her, and they had a companion, as soon as they left, there were only Cui Wanqing sisters next to the case.
Seeing Cui Wanying let out a sigh of relief, she smiled bitterly and whispered to Cui Wanqing: "Ninth sister, holding it like this, sister, I'm so tired." âR1152
