Chapter Eighty-Nine: There Are Foxes
Tian Jian nodded to the Qi army behind him, and drove his mount to approach the chariot of Qi Ya Shu.
Mi Ya Mi Shu obviously noticed Tian Jian as well, but only Mi Shu waved her hand at Tian Jian boldly, but Mi Ya still lowered her head and looked at Tian Jian, her mind was still swirling, "What is the fate of the mandarin duck, Hu Jie's cheeks soar together!" This poem, when I think of this, my cheeks will always show a little redness.
If Tian Jian knew, he would definitely be aggrieved, who knew that Qi Ya already knew about men and women at such a young age, didn't they all say that ancient women only knew about this aspect when they got married.
This huge hunting party slowly marched into the deep mountains, and the calm and orderly army tightly surrounded the princes and nobles inside.
Ancient hunting has already paid attention to the principle of sustainable development, as early as Mencius's "Widow to the Country": "If the king knows this, there is no hope that the people will be more than the neighbors." If it does not violate the agricultural time, the grain cannot be eaten; The number of dogs does not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not usable. β
With the sound of the flute, the creatures in the deep mountains began to flee.
When you see a wild goose being startled and chirping, and the hare on the side of the road is anxious to jump around, which young and vigorous boys and buddies in order to show their majesty in front of the woman they like, they hold the bow in surprise, and some of the good archery skills will cause a lot of cheers when they hit the wild animals, and some of the poor archery skills will sound a lament when the arrow is inserted into the grass or the birch tree on the side of the road, but some noble ladies who secretly promise in their hearts will also persuade softly.
As a proficient in the way of hunting, the Qi army ran to the rear of the prey, they deeply used the skill of "encirclement" to skillfully, and the scattered army gradually narrowed their encirclement, when the prey panicked and wanted to escape, the Qi army would show their spears, like tigers showing their sharp teeth. It's like a colony of lions hunting zebras in the African savannah.
Of course, these hunts are all purposeful. For example, according to the calendar, when hunting, you can't violate the agricultural time, trample on grain, and you can't kill pregnant female beasts, you can't kill young beasts that haven't grown up, you can't destroy bird nests, and sometimes you can't even hunt some worshipping birds and beasts.
For example, the Xuanniao revered by Yin Shang, that is, the swallow, after all, the ancestor of the family was born by swallowing the swallow's eggs by his mother. The Book of Poetry says: The Divine Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business, the house is full of earth. The ancient emperor ordered martial arts, and the four sides of the domain were in the right domain.
But apparently these are all clichΓ©s, and the old guys who are worried about the society are worried, but those young juniors don't care much about these rules.
One by one, they bent their bows and shot longitudinally, trying to shoot all the prey they could see in front of them, so as to prove that they were more heroic than others.
Of course, Tian Jian will not let go of this opportunity to show himself, but after a while, the horses of the Qi army guarding behind him are full of prey he hunts, including a few gray hares, and two fat jackals.

However, these tricks of hunting and bending bows belong to Tian Jian, the aristocratic sons, but they are not very close to those noble ladies and princesses. Of course, they participated in this autumn hunt in order to find a Ruyi Langjun who satisfied their family, which young man was handsome, and heroism was the focus of their discussion, and Tian Jian was obviously also in the scope of discussion.
After all, as the first heir of the Qi State, the dignitaries of his identity are obviously incomparable to these noble sons of the Chu State, and the Qi State is not like the small countries of the Lu State and the Wei State, but it is the richest country today.
"I heard that the whole country of Qi is still purple, you see that those soldiers of Qi wear purple clothes." A noble lady of the Chu State discussed.
"Purple silk is the most expensive color, I can't imagine that Qi can wear purple all over the country. And I heard that the night in Linzi is almost as bright as day, and the scholars there are all high-crowned and broad-banded, and the Jixia School Palace is also desirable. A noble lady had a sparkle in her eyes.
This is no different from modern people, people who live in county towns envy people in provincial cities, people who live in provincial cities envy people in Beijing and Shanghai, and people who live in Beijing and Shanghai envy people in New York and London.
It was a yearning for a more comfortable life, a stronger culture.
And Linzi is undoubtedly the most conspicuous city in this era, not to mention that now Chu Guoyingdu has fallen, and Chen Ying was originally only Wanqiu of Chen Guo, and it will become an inconspicuous small city in the prosperous capital for hundreds of years.
The young noble prince next to him was secretly jealous when he heard it, but they obviously couldn't compare to Tian Jian's life experience, so they began to hunt the prey around them one by one, as if to prove that they were stronger than Prince Jian's martial arts.
Since the family background is not comparable, then use the talent to compare.
In the chariot, Mi Ya Mi Shu obviously also admired Tian Jian's skills.
"Sister, I didn't expect that Taizijian's talent was good, and his archery skills were so good." Mi Shu exclaimed happily. After all, she had secretly decided that Tian Jian was her brother-in-law, so the more powerful Tian Jian was, the more happy he was.
But Qi Ya snorted and said, "This talent is every right thing." Then he said: "I heard that the Qi State is more advocating Confucianism, and the Mengfuzi of the year and the current Master Xunzi are both sacrificial wines of the Jixia School Palace. The six arts of Confucianism, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, among which archery skills are more valued by Confucianism. It is not surprising that the prince has such marksmanship. β
Mi Shu secretly frowned, and said to Mi Ya: "Sister, I remember that Qi Guo respected the system of Guan Zhong, and when King Qi Wei was king, he appointed Zou Ji to change the law, and Zou Ji and Guan Zhong both belong to the Legalist school, so why do you say that you advocate Confucianism?" β
Qi Ya chuckled: "Qi is known as the crown of etiquette in the Six Kingdoms, so it attaches great importance to etiquette, and Confucianism among the hundreds of sons advocates benevolence and etiquette, so Qi is an official who implements the rule of law, but the people advocate Confucianism." The State of Qi is strong with Ming Jun and Qing officials, and advocates the rule of man. However, the Legalists are based on the rule of law, and they do not punish their hearts! The two are different. β
Mi Shu nodded, as if she understood, but suddenly her eyes lit up and shouted, "There is a fox, it's a white fox." β
"White fox?" Qi Ya was also pleasantly surprised, and looked in the direction pointed by Qi Shu, and sure enough, there was a white fox in the grass in front of her, looking around, as if she was a little at a loss about everything around her.
"Prince Jian, there is a white fox. If you hunt a white fox, my sister will grant you a wish. Mi Shu shouted at Tian Jian.
