When the group arrived at the royal courtyard near the hunting ground, it was already about two o'clock (about half past three in the afternoon), and the men were still in high spirits, so they went to hunt some game and come back for dinner in the evening, while the sun had not yet set.

Cen Xiqin looked excited, she wanted to go with her, she wanted to go, of course Jin Fang agreed to go, but this time, Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen resolutely disagreed.

There are two reasons: one is that Cai Ruyu's carriage has not kept up, and it is not good that everyone has gone hunting, and no one is waiting for her here, so of course a few girls have to stay and wait for Cai Ruyu to arrive.

Second, it's a little late, and it's dark early in winter, so if you can't come back before dark, I'm afraid it's not safe to take a few girls in the hunting ground.

Although Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang were much more lively and bold than other noble girls, they were not unreasonable people, although they felt a little disappointed, but in the end they compromised.

Cen Xiyan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was not interested in hunting at night, if they insisted on going, she would have to go with her, and although these two girls knew some fists and kicks, they were only stronger than ordinary people, the hunting ground was full of wild beasts, and many fierce beasts foraged at night, in case something really happened, she, the person closest to them, of course, couldn't not make a move in order not to expose her martial arts, but once she did, she would have to face a lot of trouble, and it would be a headache.

After the men left the courtyard to go to the hunting ground, after about half an hour, Cai Ruyu and the people she brought with her finally arrived at their destination.

Cai Yuru knew that after Mo Junxuan and Jin Muchen went to the hunting ground, the expression on her face was a little disappointed, if she could restrain the fear in her heart and follow the horse, then she could rush to the royal palace before they left, anyway, she could say a few more words, she didn't talk to them much today, and wasted a day's time in vain.

Cen Xiyan, Cen Xiqin, Jin Fang, and Cai Ruyu were arranged to live in the inner courtyard of the royal courtyard, and the maids were busy, boiling water, making beds, and taking care of the items they carried.

Jin Fang's mind was more delicate than Cen Xiqin's, and she found the steward of the other courtyard, went to find a set of clean and unworn clothes, and changed them for Cen Xiyan after bathing, Cen Xiyan was very grateful to Jin Fang for taking care of her.

The men had not been out for a long time, and as soon as it was dark, they returned, and the harvest was not too rich, but they did not return empty-handed, and they came back with a few pheasants, hares, and a roe deer, and they could have a fresh game for dinner, and everyone was happy.

The guards and entourage were busy packing up their master's prey, skinning and cutting it into pieces, tidying it up and sending it to the kitchen for cooking.

Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang heard that they were back, so they took Cen Xiyan to see the excitement together, and Cai Ruyu arrived at the royal palace at the latest, and was dressing up in the room at the moment, and he hadn't come out yet, so he didn't know that those princes and sons had returned.

Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang deliberately did not let Cai Ruyu get the news from the front yard in a short time, and also ordered the people not to talk much, so Cai Ruyu missed the opportunity again.

Those hunted prey are actually nothing to look at, they are all dead, skinned and cut, and the flesh is cut, but fortunately, the three girls are not the kind of Virgin who eats meat and condemns others for cruelty, human beings, have always been people who stand at the top of the food chain.

After watching the somewhat bloody scene, although Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang felt a little disgusting, they did not particularly boast of such performances as fainting and screaming, and the men were impressed.

Cen Xiyan is more calm, usually go south and north, it is common to stay in the wild for several days in a row, when there is no food, hunting wild meat to fill the stomach is also a common thing, of course, there will be no psychological burden, or feel disgusting. However, in order not to make others suspicious, she still turned her face after just one glance, and stopped looking at those bloody prey.

"Cousin Jin Fang, Miss Cen Liu, Miss Cen Qi, what do you want to eat? How to eat? You can pick these first, and tell the kitchen to do it. Mo Junxuan said with a gentlemanly smile.

"Lord Wang, then we're welcome!" Cen Xiqin said with a smile.

"When have you ever been polite?" Cen Hongmian joked with his sister.

Cen Xiqin grinned, didn't care, and together with Jin Fang, picked a roe deer leg, two fat rabbits, and two pheasants, and asked a few girls to send to the backyard.

"That's all, you don't have much to hunt, and we're embarrassed to take too much." Jin Fang stood up with satisfaction and said with a smile: "As for how to eat, let's take it back and bake it ourselves, so we won't bother the kitchen!" ”

"Hey! You girl, your skin is really getting thicker, is this embarrassing to take more? In such a short time, how many things have we hunted! After taking so much, can you finish eating? Mo Junfei looked at Jin Fang with contempt.

"Be a man, don't be too stingy! A few of us can't finish eating, but we still bring maids and guards, so we can't eat it ourselves and let everyone watch, right? Jin Fang said it rightly.

"Then we also brought a lot of retinues and guards!" Mo Junfei raised his chin and said.

"But you have to stay here for a few days, your entourage can't eat today, and they will definitely be able to eat in the next few days, a few of us can stay here for a day, and we will go back soon, the time to play is limited, and the food is limited, so you have to fight with us?" Cen Xiqin took over the words, and stared at Mo Junfei with wide eyes, as if he had done something shameful wrong.

Mo Jun couldn't stand Jin Fang's eyes, and he had nothing to refute, and finally retreated in defeat.

Several men next to him looked at Mo Junfei's back with sympathy, although they didn't know that Lord Jin Fang and Miss Cen Qi were the most informal, they were sharp-tongued! Especially when these two girls get together, the attack power is doubled, why provoke them if you have nothing to do, ask for your own hardship!

Cen Xiyan was on the side, trying to reduce her sense of existence, and she didn't speak, but she enjoyed watching the play, especially watching Mo Junfei's hairy boy, although she was a little unkind, she still felt in a good mood.

After picking the booty, the girls went back to the inner courtyard.

Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang were not interested in men, and Cen Xiyan didn't want to join in the fun with those men, so the other dishes for dinner were sent to the inner courtyard.

There are also a few wild meats have been processed, so that the kitchen has sent charcoal shelves, all kinds of spices, etc., a few girls with their own girls, set up a grill in the yard, began to do it themselves, rich food and clothing.

Cai Ruyu dressed up very carefully for a long time, finally cleaned up, came out, and saw the game in the yard, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Lord Shuo, the Nine Emperors, and the cousin of the prince are all back?" ”

"Well, I'm back." Jin Fang responded lazily while flipping the rabbit on the shelf.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Cai Ruyu's tone was a little anxious.

Hearing this, Jin Fang raised his head, looked at Cai Ruyu with strange eyes, and asked, "When they come back, do they need to report to you in particular?" ”

"I ...... I don't mean anything else......" Cai Ruyu reacted, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.

"You'd better not mean anything else!" Cen Xiqin muttered.

Cen Xiqin's voice was not loud, but it was enough for several people around to hear it clearly, Cai Ruyu hated Cen Xiqin so much that her teeth itched, but she couldn't answer, she could only pretend not to hear, but the atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassing.

In the end, it was Jin Fang who broke the awkward atmosphere and said, "Cousin Ruyu, sit down, it's time for dinner." She was a little helpless, why was she the one who adjusted the atmosphere every time she played a round?

Jin Fang handed over the ladder, Cai Ruyu went down, sat down, and only glared at one of her personal maids when others were not paying attention, and asked with her eyes, she obviously asked her to pay attention to the news in the front yard, why didn't the person in front of her come back and not notify her?

The girl replied to Cai Ruyu with a helpless and aggrieved look, it was not that she didn't want to be informed, but she couldn't go out of the inner courtyard at all, and no one was willing to tell her the news in front of her, so she couldn't get the news!

At this time, Cai Ruyu was not easy to teach her own girl, so she had to tell her personal maid and mother-in-law to start working to give her vegetables and barbecue.

As for grilling it yourself? She's a daughter, how could that happen! It's good to have maids and mothers-in-law to serve, so she shouldn't follow Cen Qi and Jin Fang's example and surrender her identity!

Jin Fang and Cen Xiqin have long been accustomed to her virtue, and no matter how she is, they take care of Cen Xiyan and eat while playing, although the things they bake don't taste very good, but this is the feeling of eating, and it's good to be happy.

At the end of this day, Cen Xiyan basically didn't say anything to Cai Ruyu, Cai Ruyu disdained to take care of her, a concubine who was not favored in the Cen family, and Cen Xiyan, looking at the excitement, looked at the excitement, in fact, there was no Cai Ruyu in his eyes at all.

At first, Jin Fang and Cen Xiqin honestly ate what they baked, and then they saw that the meat roasted by Yingxue looked oily and golden, and it looked more appetizing than the black charcoal they roasted themselves, and the fragrance was different from their burnt taste, which was very tempting, and they couldn't help but beg Yingxue to eat the things that Yingxue roasted for Cen Xiyan, and after taking the things that Yingxue roasted, they refused to eat the meat roasted by themselves and the meat roasted by their own girls, and they all looked at Yingxue and the barbecue in her hand!

Yingxue couldn't stand such a gaze, and finally took the initiative to surrender, took over a few barbecue duties, and started her busy work in full swing.

"Sixth sister, no wonder you have to fire alone, and you even go out with this Yingxue girl! This craftsmanship is fantastic! You're so blessed! Cen Xiqin praised Yingxue while eating.

"yes, yes, the craftsmanship is so good! Xiyan, where did you find such a precious girl? Jin Fang also said.

"She's been with me since she was a child, don't look at her talent in cooking, but don't do anything well, her temper is still stinky and strong, if she didn't have this strength, I wouldn't have let her follow me." Cen Xiyan deliberately belittled Yingxue.

Yingxue, who had just been praised by Cen Xiqin and smiled, instantly collapsed her face and pouted depressedly.

"See, I can't say it, the little temper is up." Cen Xiyan said again.

"Sixth sister, if you are not satisfied with Yingxue, I will change it with you? I'll give you the little one! Ah, it's okay to give it to you from the second to the eighth! What do you think? Cen Xiqin asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

The little one on the side of "Miss ......" wanted to cry, she had served Miss for so many years, and Miss wanted to replace her! Eight for one! If those sisters knew, they would have wanted to cry on purpose, right?

"Don't interrupt!" Cen Xiqin waved his hand at Xiaoyi without conscience, and then asked Cen Xiyan, "Sixth sister, how is it?" ”

"Okay." Cen Xiyan said casually: "I will leave this decision to Yingxue herself, if she wants, I will not object." ”

Cen Xiqin immediately set his eyes on Yingxue and said temptingly: "What? You follow me! Come to me, she will be the number one girl in my hospital immediately, and I will give you twice as much money as the sixth sister! No, twice as much! ”

Yingxue rolled her eyes at Cen Xiyan, then turned to Cen Xiqin, and said: "Miss Seven, don't listen to our young lady's nonsense, she won't want me, and I won't leave our young lady, I and Jingshuang have been with Miss for more than ten years, when I went from the capital Cen Mansion to Qingyuan Town with Miss Miss, I left Beijing for ten years, and now ten years later, Miss took us back to the capital together, so many years, we have long been used to staying by Miss's side, Miss is also used to having Jingshuang with me around us, and we will be Xu people in the future, and we will not leave Miss." , I will continue to be Miss's housekeeper, in this life, I will not leave Miss, and in the future, I will continue to help Miss take care of Miss Xiao and Master ......"

Yingxue's words are very simple, very simple, but very moving, that is, when it comes to marrying and descendants, there is no shame of other girls' families, and because of this simple touching, it does not make people feel bold and inappropriate.

Cen Xiyan felt warm and comfortable in his heart.

Cen Xiqin, Jin Fang, as well as Xiao Yi and Xiao Miao, all had watery eyes and were moved to tears.

"Okay, I won't change you with the sixth sister, it's the same to go to the sixth sister to eat every day, isn't it just a few more steps!" Anyway, it was an idea she had made up before!

Cai Ruyu glanced at a few people opposite, and secretly pouted, thinking that their topic was very boring, but the girl named Yingxue seemed to be really delicious, but she couldn't pull down her face and say to taste it, so she could only endure it, just eat what her maid baked again, and feel that it didn't taste right.

In fact, Cai Ruyu was very depressed and unwilling at this moment, and had the heart to go to the front yard to talk to those noble sons, but the other three girls refused to move, she didn't have the ability to persuade them, and she didn't have the cheekiness to run to the front yard full of men alone, and finally she could only stay depressed in the inner courtyard, like a background board, sitting on the side, listening to the Cen sisters and Jin Fang chatting about those topics that she couldn't interject, this feeling was really a bit tormenting!
