Chapter 567: Bending the bow to shoot the geese, everyone tastes the game

Although Peng Shisan is a general of the British government, he usually lives in the mansion, but the three companions who were born and died with Zhang Fu like him have all been officially awarded the military attaché, so Zhang Fu can't resist his insistence, so he has to compensate in other aspects.

Now to have a happy event, he has to clean up his small courtyard house in the west of the British Mansion, and at the same time turn all the boxes in the house upside down. As a result, he was so busy that he was stunned to find that due to the lack of people to take care of it, although the valuable silk that was resting in the camphor wood box had not been moth-eaten and moldy, it had lost its original brightness, and this happy event was useless. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang knew that he had no hostess in his house for many years, so she selected several elderly mothers from the family to help and sent a lot of things. Therefore, he, the master, only needs to measure people like a puppet, and he doesn't need to use any other force.

"Brother Peng, even young people don't have such a strong body as you, but you yourself are too careless about dressing up. This line is either dark brown or dark brown and dark cyan, doesn't it look old? Now that you want to be a groom, you naturally have to choose some bright colors, and whoever sees it will say a good word! ”

"That's it, Mrs. Lady sent me to give a gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival before, I took a special look at the Lingxi girl, she looks like one in a thousand, Brother Peng, you are really a blessing! If you want to marry such a beauty, you naturally have to dress up well! ”

"Madame specially asked people to go to the divination date, this marriage is scheduled for September 18, and the lord should also come back at that time, knowing that such a happy event must be happy...... Ahem, I forgot, you were in the Northern Expeditionary Army with the master before, and the master must know! By the way, Mrs. also specially asked us to tell you, this new clothes plus other preparations, most of the month is always more than that, you hurry up to prepare the geese for the Lay Goose Ceremony, this is bought by others, you warrior should always shoot in person, right? ”

Rao is a man beaten by Peng Shisan's iron, and he was also dizzy by these broken thoughts, so it was easy to take the last sentence and sneak out with two family members with a bow and arrow. Although geese are becoming more and more rare nowadays, it is now the season for geese to fly south, and he is a marksman who pierces through the poplars in a hundred steps, and soon got two.

It's just that he really didn't dare to go home to face those long-winded aunts and six wives, so he simply wandered outside the city for two days, and in addition to a pair of geese, hares and pheasants and other prey also harvested countless things. Because there were too many, after returning to the city, he sent two wild geese and half of the game to the British Mansion, and the other half to the Zhang Mansion in person, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he found himself the center of attention.

Although he has seen more of this kind of treatment in the British government in the past few days, he is still very unaccustomed to it, so he hurriedly pulled the housekeeper Gao Quan, and immediately fled in the desert when he found out where Niu Dang and the others lived. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw a big shirtless man practicing the stone lock there, so he simply stood at the door with his arms crossed and watched, and only blurted out a praise until the end.

The sweaty Niu dared to put down the stone lock when he heard this sound, and quickly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Peng Shisan, he quickly picked up the cloth towel next to him and wiped his sweaty body, and then walked forward quickly, with a smile on his face: "Master, aren't you going to get married, why do you have time to come over today?" The three of them followed the young master out to run errands, and I stayed at home today. ”

Yes, even such a stubborn cow knows that he is going to get married!

Peng Shisan sighed in his heart, and remembered the piercing eyes of those people outside, so he patted the thick shoulder angrily, because he said, "If you want to get married, can't you come to see a few of you?" Did the three of them follow them to the Yamen? ”

Seeing that Niu dared to nod, he took a look at the strong muscles on the other party's body, as well as the countless horizontal and vertical scars, and then reminded: "Although you look good now, you have suffered too much and lost too much, so don't blindly save money now, and spend more effort to recuperate." What matters to a martial artist is qi and blood, and if there is a loss of qi and blood, he will age quickly! ”

"Master, I haven't had such a good life since I was a child, and I used to herd cattle and sheep and sell coolies all day long in the north, but I ate like a dog all year round. At present, there is meat for three meals a day, and even the dim sum is meat buns. Niu dared to say this, and he felt a little embarrassed, "I quietly inquired, no one else in this family has such good food as us, and the young master specially ordered us to make more food." Being able to live the current life, I really feel that I haven't lived this life in vain, as long as the young master doesn't dislike us for just eating and not working. ”

"Silly boy!" Although Niu Dang was nearly thirty years old, Peng Shisan still slapped him on the back of the head casually, and then said angrily, "Don't underestimate yourself, didn't you help him block the knife last time?" Although martial arts have to be practiced since childhood, and practicing again when you are old may not be able to achieve success, but according to the method I taught you, practice well, and eat carefully, and it is absolutely easy for you to deal with ordinary people by yourself. What is not in vain, when the time comes, it is said that a daughter-in-law is not in vain! ”

"Okay, you old Peng, you kidnapped a spirit rhino from me, and now you instigated someone else?"

As soon as Zhang Yue returned home, he heard that Peng Shisan was coming, so he found it here. Seeing that this thick-skinned guy in the past smiled unnaturally, he walked into the courtyard gate quickly, waved his hand and told Niu Dare not to be polite, and then looked up and down Peng Shisan's dress. Seeing that he was dressed in a tight purple coat, with leggings underneath his head and a pair of thin-soled fast boots, he couldn't help but be angry and funny.

"No wonder I heard people talking about you all the way in, and you are about to become a bridegroom, and you don't know how to dress up. People want to be dressed in Buddha and gold, not everyone is as eye-catching as Lingxi. Seeing that Peng Shishi didn't care, he didn't bother to dwell on this, and said solemnly, "Among the 20,000 strikers in front of the British Duke, it will be there in about four or five days." According to the itinerary of the imperial driver, it will be possible to arrive in Beijing in early September. This time, the military attache is led by Yongkang Hou Xu An, and the civil official is Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and these two groups have been waiting in Wuping Town. I guess I will have to take a trip in the past two days, you are busy with marriage, so stay here and have a good time! ”

"This is a flick and a dial, I have to be busy, since the young master said so, I will simply be lazy!"

Peng Shisan nodded briskly, and then said with a smile: "The emperor was angry when he sent us back, this time young master, I am afraid that you will have to do everything you can to deal with it, if there is really any case, don't forget to bring a message back, and I will find the British public to move the rescue soldiers when the time comes." By the way, I was hunting on the outskirts of the city in the past two days, and I found that Ti Cavalry was out in all directions, could it have already begun? ”

Seeing that Niu Dang had quietly retreated, Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Feng Shui takes turns, after all, no one will be restrained, and no one will be willing to be calculated." Not to mention outside the city, I heard that the soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who came back with us are also very active in the imperial city. After all, it is only a few people who want to repeat the scene of the 12th year of Yongle, and most people definitely don't want to be frightened like that again. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Peng Shisan lowered his voice and asked: "After all, this Jingshi is a powerful man everywhere, the goal is too big, the young master has done what needs to be done and then he doesn't move, you are really cunning." But also, except for the East Palace, they are all the eunuchs, they want the dog to eat the dog and go with them, and these guys also know not to hurt the roots. ”

Zhang Yue knew that Peng Shisan was talking about Liu Yongcheng and Lu Feng's discord, so he nodded approvingly. Personal feuds aside, it was the battle between the celebrant and the royal horseman. The status of the imperial horse supervisor has become higher and higher over the years, and he is almost in charge of the guards and pro-army, so he has the same capital as the Chinese martial arts court, and has the capital to call the boss with the ceremonial supervisor. In addition, after the fall of the celebrant from Huang Yan, the vacancy of the eunuch has been empty, so it is no wonder that Lu Feng has fallen behind Liu Yongcheng.

It's the same this time, Liu Yongcheng made a big mistake for a while, and Lu Feng was calculated and infamous, and it was impossible for anyone who wanted to completely pull him off the horse.

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhang Yue left, but Peng Shisan did not enter the house immediately, but stood in place holding his hands in a daze. Hu Qi's four have never been in the same line as him, even when they were in Xuanfu, Xianglong and Liu Bao often mysteriously didn't know what they were messing with. The four who came back this time simply disappeared completely, and if he changed his master, he was afraid that all the suspicions would be extinguished. Thinking about it now, Zhang Yue's secrets are probably not a few. It took a long time for him to shrug his shoulders.

But what does this have to do with him, it's easier to follow someone who has an idea than to follow someone who doesn't!

Because Du Juan was pregnant with Liujia, Gu ordered Sister-in-law Li, who went to Xuanfu, to set up a small kitchen in the West Courtyard to take care of all the food, and added two daughters-in-law who worked hard, plus Cui's mother to take care of it, it was naturally foolproof. On this day, since Peng 13 sent more than a dozen all kinds of game, he divided two pheasants and two wild ducks over, and the girls up and down were naturally very happy when they heard this. After all, the food on the top is limited, and according to Zhang Yue Du Juan's temper, the excess must be divided.

"This pheasant and wild duck dismantled the skeleton to make soup, which is the rarest, just to nourish the young grandmother. During the day, the big kitchen also sent two fresh crucian carp, and since you cleaned up before, you simply cooked them together. Although the young grandmother doesn't vomit much now, she still likes the stewed noodles, and she eats too much other soups, so she just uses this soup to change the taste. ”

Sister-in-law Li, the cook, said while quickly taking out the pheasant and duck from the pot, and seeing that the two young daughters-in-law began to pluck and refine, she wiped her hands on her apron, turned around and glared at the crystal that was looking at her: "Young master and young grandmother haven't spoken yet, you are worried about it, you only know how to eat!" In addition to cooking, most of the remaining meat can't be used, and the young master and young grandmother must have indulged you. If you want me to see, you might as well use iron skewers to bake and eat, and save me the trouble here!" ”

Hearing this, Crystal suddenly jumped up happily, thanked Sister-in-law Li repeatedly, and then walked out of the small kitchen in three or two steps. After meeting with the little girls waiting outside, she had to tell Sister-in-law Li what she promised her, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers. are all thirteen or fourteen years old, although there is meat in the meal, but I always can't help the idea of trying something new, not to mention that this time it is still skewered? They chatted and discussed with their index fingers, and finally someone suddenly said something.

"If this is roasted and eaten, is it still in the house? What should I do when the time comes, and the rules for using fire at home are very big? Besides, if the two sisters find out, Sister Amber won't say anything, and Sister Autumn Scar will definitely complain that we don't call her. Also, the little five girls came to visit the young grandmother today, she has always liked to play, maybe she won't be happy to ...... when the time comes."

"According to what you say, we still have to pull the young master and the young grandmother together, and everyone make a fuss together? Don't say that the young grandmother is now a double body, just say that if this spreads, the old lady will definitely scold us for having no rules, and the young master will have to end up! ”

"How did I end up with?"

Zhang Yue, who stepped into the courtyard, happened to hear the last sentence, and as soon as he raised his voice to ask, he saw a group of little girls turning around like frightened rabbits. At this time, the crystal leader had no choice but to move forward, and Ai Ai waited for a while before she said their plans.

Hearing the skewers, Zhang Yue was stunned. I have lived in my thirties in my previous life, and gluttony is secondary, but I haven't experienced the excitement of barbecue around the stove for a long time. Thinking that Du Juan is now pregnant with Liujia, although it is not enough to be stuffy in the house all day, but after all, his body is heavy, and since he was pregnant, Cui's mother has been talking about a lot of taboos, I am afraid that at most it is just to see, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. But when he recalled eating skewers with his colleagues in the forest park, he couldn't help laughing.

"That being the case, the yard next door happens to be empty, and the weather is fine this afternoon, so I can move the tables and stools over and play for a while. Remember not to make too loud noises, the iron stove and iron sticks are optimistic, otherwise you will provoke those mothers, and you will have to be beaten up. ”

"Thank you, young master!" At this moment, all the little girls are jubilant. Crystal still remembered the sentence in front of her, so she asked cautiously, "Young Master, the little fifth girl is also here, and Sister Autumn Mark and Sister Amber ......."

"As long as you can call, you can call anyone, it's your ability. If you young grandmothers are in good spirits, you have to go over and see your liveliness. ”

Seeing a few little girls cheering and scattering, Zhang Yue couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and then walked a few steps quickly and opened the curtain and entered the house. It happened that Xiao Wu poked his head out of the back room when he heard the movement, and asked what was going on with the noise outside, so he explained with a smile, and only to see that the little girl's eyes were bright, and she ran out of the door. Zhang Yue, who entered the room, saw that Du Juan was leaning on the wall, and Jingguan was crawling around on the kang, so he stepped forward and picked up his son, and then kissed his wife lightly on the cheek.

"When this child is born and finds a free time, let's take them and go to the picnic together, well, and camping! How about it, I'm okay today, if it's okay, let's go see the excitement later! ”

Du Juan was startled by Zhang Yue's sudden attack, and when she heard the series of fresh terms that had never been said in his mouth, and then thought about what he said to Xiao Wu outside just now, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This is what you said, don't be busy and forget it when the time comes, just talk about our son, how many times have you hugged it? As for the excitement...... It's all your fault, it just so happens that Cui's mother is not here, but I have seduced you with gluttony. I won't go to the windy place, punish you for giving me a barbecue in the yard, I don't care about it today, I must eat two skewers! ”
