Chapter 56: Hunting and Hiding Calculations
At this time, the team began to set off, and the people in the carriage were not affected, those who played chess played chess, those who watched onlookers, and those who read books read books.
"Daughter, wait, my hands are shaking, this doesn't count...... Wait, daughter, I was just scared by you, and that doesn't count. Daughter, this is my position, you pick up your chess pieces. ”
Wang Xuannian watched the corners of his eyes twitch on the side, his father-in-law had just begun to restrain a little, and now he regretted his chess openly, his family Lan'er's face became darker and darker, and he felt that the next moment, his father-in-law was very likely to be driven out of the carriage.
"Shut up. Xuan Nian, you come to play chess with him. With that, the chess pieces in his hand were thrown into the chess box, and the man got out of the carriage, stood on the board of the carriage, got up, and sat on the back of a horse walking beside him.
Wang Xuannian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhong Xuanlan sitting on horseback, with a heroic appearance.
"Hehe, son-in-law, my daughter is good-looking, she can be literate and martial, not inferior to men, you have picked up a treasure, but you have to cherish it."
"Brother-in-law, although my sister is cold-faced and cold-hearted, she doesn't know how to do laundry, cook and be a female celebrity, but she treats her family very well, and she will do anything else, don't dislike her."
Wang Xuannian came back to his senses when he heard this, and under the gaze of the father and son, his face became slightly red, and he nodded slowly.
Zhong Xuanli stopped looking at him and continued to read, Zhong Tinghao looked at Wang Xuannian and defended himself: "Son-in-law, I'm not a stinky chess basket, it's just that my daughter is too smart, and she doesn't know how to respect the elderly, hehe, I can only play tricks." ”
Wang Xuannian nodded and said, "Dad, let's play chess." ”
"Okay, it's still a son-in-law, not like these disobedient sons and daughters."
"Dad, be careful of being heard by my sister."
Zhong Tinghao glanced out and found that Zhong Xuanlan didn't look at them, so he relieved himself and gave Zhong Xuanli a slap, "Ouch" Zhong Xuanli rubbed his shoulders and said, "Dad, I want to separate from you." ”
"Yes, as long as you leave the house."
Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips, said nothing more, and continued to read, in fact, the book was sleeping with the book on his face.
Zhong Tinghao glanced at Zhong Xuanli with a smile, stinky boy, your father and I don't have enough IQ in front of my daughter, but it's enough for you. He looked at Wang Xuannian again and said, "Son-in-law, let's play chess?" ”
Wang Xuannian nodded.
Along the way, the family chatted and played, but the leisure time was really fleeting, and before I knew it, it was evening, and the sun was setting, and everyone took advantage of the afterglow of the sun to hurry to their respective camps to rest.
Zhong Xuanlan's family came to the big tent of Uncle Guo's mansion, Zhong Tinghao and Zhong Xuanli came in the big tent on the left, Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian into the big tent on the right, and the furnishings in it were all brought by people yesterday on the spring solstice.
When Chun Zhi saw someone coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "I have seen the head of the house, Gongzi." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
"Master, these items have been placed, do you think there is anything missing?"
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the four cushions around the low table outside, and then went to the inner room to take a look, a bed, a small table near the bed, a dresser, a screen across the clean room, nodded, and said, "That's it." ”
Chun Zhi nodded, she knew that the head of the family was disgusted with simplicity, and she couldn't help it.
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Go and prepare food." ”
"Yes." Spring Solstice hurriedly retreated and prepared to eat.
Soon, Chun Zhi brought in the food and told Zhong Xuanlan that Zhong Tinghao and his son would not eat with them. Zhong Xuanlan and Wang Xuannian had a meal, and after eating, they went out for a walk, and only came back to rest after dark, and they didn't say anything all night.
On the second day, everyone went to gather on the high platform of the paddock, and after meeting the emperor and others, the ministers and ladies who did not participate in the meeting returned to their seats.
Emperor Jingxi said: "This year's winter hunting, I hope you will show your housekeeping skills, I have a lottery head, see who can win the championship this year, and who will fall on the lottery head?" ”
The man who participated in the hunt stood in front of the horses and saluted, "Yes." ”
Zhong Xuanlan sat there looking at the excited young sons, and noticed a cold gaze, looked at it, squinted his eyes, and ordered: "Zhong You follows Xuanli today, pay attention to the king of Pingjun." ”
Zhong You, who was standing behind him, commanded: "Yes." ”
Here, Emperor Jingxi said a few words of encouragement, and ordered the eunuchs around him to say the rules of this year: "The one who hunts a bear or tiger is the first, and if there is no bear or tiger, the most prey wins." If a bear or a tiger is hunted at the same time, the winner will be based on the number of other prey, for three days. ”
Zhong Xuanlan shook his head when he heard this, how could there be tigers and bears in the enclosure after it was cleared, and last year's first place was a fine bow and was awarded the title of Wupin Lieutenant. I wonder what it will be this year?
Emperor Jingxi took the lead in riding a horse and galloped away, the prince of Zhenguo was on the side, and hundreds of royal forest troops followed on horseback. Then there were those who participated in the hunt, and Zhong Xuanlan asked Zhong You to follow Zhong Xuan away.
The third princess said sarcastically: "County Lord, are you afraid that people will be lost?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Third princess, Xuanli has always been playful, I'm afraid that he will forget to come back." ”
The third princess was just about to speak, but the county lord of Hui Yu interjected: "When I was in Suzhou, I heard that my cousin Xinlan's riding skills and archery skills were exquisite, and the county lord wanted to have a competition with my cousin, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
The third princess provoked: "Cousin, do you know that your cousin's archery skills are all shots, is your archery skills the same?" ”
The county lord of Huiqing said unconvincedly: "The princess's cousin is wrong, and her archery skills are good, which does not mean that she will definitely be able to shoot the prey." ”
Li Guifei said: "I heard that the master of Xinlan County is not inferior to men in riding and archery, but unfortunately I haven't seen it in this palace, I don't know if I can feast my eyes on this palace today?" ”
The cold light in Zhong Xuanlan's eyes flashed, drinking tea and not speaking, Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan with concern in his eyes, he had seen Zhong Xuanlan's martial arts, archery had never seen it, and he didn't want her to show it at the moment, just like the piano skills on the Mid-Autumn Festival night I don't know how many people's eyes have attracted, he doesn't like her to be so dazzling, which makes him feel uneasy, and there is a feeling that he can't catch up and can't catch up.
Seeing that Zhong Xuanlan was silent, the county lord of Hui Yu was dissatisfied, and continued: "Cousin, are you afraid? ”
Zhong Xuanlan's sharp eyes glanced at the county lord of Hui Yu, and said, "The county lord wants me to compete with you so much, is it possible that there is no such thing?" Zhong Xuanlan aggravated the word "color head", and also warned the county lord of Hui Yu not to do anything.
Lord Hui Yu pretended not to understand, took out a dagger inlaid with red gems from his waist, and said with a smile: "This is an overseas dagger, extremely sharp, I don't know how this color head is?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan just wanted to speak, Li Guifei took off the hairpin on her head and said: "The hairpin in the hand of the palace is the plum blossom ruyi hairpin carved by Mr. Qu Wen, just use it as a color head, what does the county lord of Xinlan think?" ”
The third princess took off the jade bracelet and said, "This princess will use the pair of blue water-patterned jade bracelets in her hand as a color head." ”
Seeing this, all the women took out their colorful heads, saying that they wanted to see the competition between the two.
