Chapter 114: Thoughts Drift Away and Remember the Past
Zhao Qi was stunned when he was on the sidelines, and he even forgot to eat the pine nuts in his hand. He saw that his brother was walking out of the field, and he hurried over. He squeezed and squeezed in the crowd, and he didn't know who he stepped on.
"Ahh It was a scream from the girl's house.
With this scream, the maids beside the girl also let out one after another screams.
On the opposite side was a girl dressed in apricot yellow, with a round and sweet face, apricot kernel eyes and cherry mouth, and a delicate and lovely person, but this girl was now with willow eyebrows upside down, and a pair of eyes seemed to breathe fire.
Zhao Qi raised his foot and looked, yo, he had already stepped on someone's embroidered shoes, and a conspicuous black footprint was lying ugly.
Zhao Qi hurriedly said: "Ah, it's rude, it's rude, your shoes are dirty." β
This shoe is newly made, and it was trampled on as soon as I put it on, which made my aunt very angry and angry, and said angrily: "Who are you, dare to step on me, a faux pas is over?" β
If it doesn't go well, she always loses her temper when she wants to, and she never needs to think about the occasion and the consequences. As Fan's daughter, who was she afraid of? Even in front of the princesses and grandchildren, she dared to say two sentences.
Everyone in the royal capital knows Miao, and if this matter is replaced by them, most of them will give in three points. Coincidentally, Zhao Qi is not from the royal capital, he neither knows Slender nor knows how to make concessions, and he is also born with a young man's temper.
Zhao Qi choked and said, "I said it was rude, what else do you want?" β
"You!" My aunt's eyes widened, obviously she didn't expect someone to choke her in person, and she didn't react for a while.
Seeing this, the maid beside me immediately turned her head and snorted heavily at Zhao Qi, saying, "Just a faux pas?" Which gentleman are you to dare to be so rude to my master! β
Zhao Qi also snorted, and said back: "I think you are rude, who am I, master, how can you be a lowly servant girl?" β
The fire of the slender anger is big, and the more I look at my shoes, the more I feel angry. She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Qi fiercely, stepped forward, and ran on Zhao Qi's feet violently.
Zhao Qi had been guarding against this move for a long time, how could she succeed. He quickly lifted his foot, and shook it on tiptoe, clearly provocative.
The more and more trouble became on both sides, Zhao Ji saw it from a distance, frowned, and walked over there.
I saw it at a glance. Originally, the reason why she watched from the sidelines for a long time was for him. Tsing Yi, long sword, handsome appearance and cold temperament. As Zhao Ji walked step by step, Miao Miao felt that he and the figure in her memory were more and more overlapping.
It's him, that's right.
"Heavenly moat menziji." My aunt muttered in a low voice.
These five words fell into Zhao Qi's ears, and he immediately shouted in surprise: "What, how do you know?" Could it be that you and my brother are old acquaintances? β
"Brother?" My brow furrowed.
happened to Zhao Ji to walk up to a few people.
"Ah Qi, I told you not to cause trouble."
Zhao Qi retorted: "Big brother, I didn't cause trouble, it's all her-"
Before Zhao Qi finished speaking, my aunt forcibly interjected to interrupt Zhao Qi. With a smile on her face, she only stared at Zhao Ji: "It's just a misunderstanding." Gentleman Ziji, do you remember me? β
Zhao Qi exaggerated and shouted, "Ha! With a sigh, he pinched his throat and said in a smiling voice: "Do you remember me?" He said disdainfully: "Don't have a relationship with my brother, I've seen more women like you." β
Zhao Ji immediately glanced over, frowned and warned in a deep voice: "Ah Qi." β
Zhao Qi snorted reluctantly and muttered, "Originally, Master Ben has never seen such an unreasonable woman in his life." β
Miao glanced back fiercely, then turned her eyes back to Zhao Ji, and said with a smile: "Gentleman, you haven't answered my question yet, but I still remember you, do you still remember me?" β
Zhao Qi let out another disdainful voice in the rear.
How could Zhao Ji not remember this one, he was really impressed back then. So he smiled lightly and detachedly: "I remember, but now that I have gone down the mountain, I am not Ziji, and the noble girl should call me Zhao Ji." β
My aunt's face showed joy, and she said in a sweet tone: "But, isn't it more cordial to call Ziji?" If Zhao Ji is called, the distance will be far away. β
"When I go down the mountain, I'm not Ziji. Don't mention it again, I am Zhao Ji at this time. The younger brother is young and ignorant, and he collided with Miss, and I will compensate you for him. With that, Zhao Ji saluted and said goodbye.
"Ah Qi, let's go."
Zhao Qi hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and make a grimace at Miao.
Miao didn't care about Zhao Qi, she only looked at Ziji's back with affection, and bit her lip unsatisfactorily.
When the person was far away, she looked back at her dirty upper, snorted, and said to the servant in a light tone: "Let's go, let's find a place to rest." β
The maidservants behind my fair lady shuddered, and the concubine Qinglu, who was not even as good as a maidservant, turned pale directly.
Obviously, it's time to take them out.
Just thinking about it, my legs are weak, and when I experience it, it's like hell.
The ceremony before the start of the hunt was presided over by Zhai Ling, the chief Si Nong.
Dasi Nong has a good face and loves pomp, and this time he invited the young gentlemen of the noble family, so the ceremony scene was not small. The hunt lasted for two days, covering the entire mountain, and the overnight tent was set up at the foot of Qinghe Mountain.
The six arts of the gentleman, the number of Lile Archery is indispensable, and hunting is a good place to show everyone the art of archery. The nobles of the royal capital have always had the habit of spring hunting and autumn hunting, who has good archery skills, who catches more and more precious prey, these can make everyone look at it.
Especially this time, the target is Bailu.
Deer are known for their lightness and vigor, and white deer are even more so. It is rumored that the white deer is very fast, running like a phantom in the forest, and it is extremely difficult to catch, especially if it has to be caught alive. Therefore, no matter who it is, as long as it can be caught, it is a great blessing and dignity. However, there is only one white deer, and not everyone is lucky enough to meet it. Therefore, in addition to the white deer being caught alive, if you encounter other prey, you can naturally hunt it at will. According to the rules, during the hunt, those who catch the white deer can take the lead. In addition, whoever hunts the most prey and rarest can also get an absolutely valuable reward.
A field was enclosed near the ceremonial platform, surrounded by a fence, and the guards dragged a rebellious wild deer into it with its horns. The wild deer was frightened, and ran wildly on all four hooves in the field.
Everyone knows that Dasi Nong Zhai Ling has excellent archery skills, and he is an absolute master in the hunting ground, and when he was young, he won the first place countless times in the hunting grounds of the royal capital.
Aiming with the arrow, the muscles burst out on the upper arm, and the silver shining iron arrow slowly moved in the direction of the wild deer's escape.
"Whewββ!" Feathered arrows flew out.
With a cry of despair, the iron feather arrow sank deep into the neck of the wild deer.
In an instant, the cheers were endless.
Dasi Nong also enjoyed this pride, and walked off the field with a smile, pulling the arrow from the neck of the wild deer. As soon as the arrow was pulled, the blood in the deer's neck gushed out like a fountain, staining Zhai Ling's sleeves, but he was proud of it. He raised it above his head and said, "I, hunt with this arrow, and all of you here are brave sons and daughters who are good at riding and shooting, and if you can look forward to it, it will depend on the results of the next two days." β
After the ceremony, the young people of all families poured into the mountains and forests with enthusiasm.
"Where do you want to go?"
Zhai Lu called Mingyun from behind.
"Don't tell me you want to go up the mountain."
Zhai Lu trotted over and hugged Mingyun's arm, frowned and said solemnly: "You are not allowed to go, the mountain is too dangerous, even if your archery skills are good, I will not let go of your heart." There are so many people here today, it's lively, I'll take you to play pitching, okay? If you really want to shoot arrows, let's go to the shooting range, I know that the archery skills of a few little sisters are still good, how about it? β
"Sister Lu." Mingyun shouted helplessly.
"No way!" Zhai Lu said resolutely.
Mingyun said: "I haven't spoken yet, why can't I." β
Zhai Lu poked Mingyun's shoulder and said, "Because I can guess what you want to say, I am your sister, you have to listen to me." I'm not doing anything today, I'm just staring at you. β
Mingyun let out an "oops" and looked up to the sky and sighed.
Zhai Lu pushed Mingyun's back shoulder, pushed her forward, and said, "Oh what, don't go with me, let's get to know a few little sisters with me." Thou hast come to the king so many times, and thou hast not yet known any of them. β
Mingyun shook his head: "Don't go, don't go, I'm too lazy to look at that group of chatter, I get tired of looking at it, and I have a headache when I listen to it." β
Zhai Lu said: "Then what do you want, anyway, I won't let you go to the mountain, and you can say anything else." β
Mingyun said: "Then sister, you might as well sit with me and look at the scenery." β
Now this season is the best time for the climate, in the golden autumn, the sky is neither cold nor hot, the sky is blue, and the sky is cloudless.
In the blink of an eye, the hunt has been going on for half a day.
Mingyun sat on the grass, bored playing with a small white wildflower. Zhai Lu was very conscientious and sat next to her. Not far from the two of them, Dasi Nong Zhai Ling was teaching his youngest son archery hand in hand, and Mingyun twisted the little flower in his hand and watched it for a moment.
Mingyun asked: "That's Qingyue, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems to be long." β
Zhai Lu nodded and smiled: "Yes, children grow up very quickly, one year at a time." β
Mingyun asked, "How old is Qingyue?" β
Zhai Lu smiled: "It's almost seven years old!" β
"I'm almost seven years old." Mingyun repeated, thinking of Shuo'er, and felt a little sad in his heart. Shuo'er is much younger than Qingyue, a child at this age obviously needs the care of her parents, but her younger brother is alone in a foreign land, although someone has been assigned to take care of her, Cousin Siling may also be able to care about one or two in Diqiu, but without a family, how good can life be under the fence after all.
Zhai Qingyue, who was not far away, was dressed in a clear blue brocade robe, holding a special children's bow in his hand, and his red cheeks were full of excitement.
Dasi Nong Zhai Ling put his little hand, Wen Sheng taught: "When shooting arrows, keep your eyes on the target, don't float around. β
Zhai Lu and Mingyun said softly: "Father likes Qingyue the most." He is very strict with his eldest brother, and he can only be so gentle in front of his younger brother. β
Mingyun responded shallowly, she looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, her mind gradually drifted away, and she remembered many years ago.
Her father also taught her archery.
It's also a hand-in-hand teaching.
