Chapter 50: Venison
"It turned out to be General Fang." Qingluan squinted his eyes and looked over, "I don't know what General Fang's intention is to shoot arrows at the county lord?" ”
On the opposite side was Fang Qingru's own brother Fang Xiao, and the nephew of Mu Silenfu's aunt and cousin who was sentenced to exile.
This relationship is a bit tongue-twisting, but Qingluan guessed the joints at once.
The feather arrow just now was sharp, with a killing intent, as Qingluan, who had fought to the death against the enemy, this murderous aura really wanted to shoot himself.
As for why Fang Xiao didn't really put it into action, there are many reasons and it is also very intriguing.
"It's all the general's mistake, why should the county lord of Jianing be aggressive?" Fang Xiao looked at the Chaoyang County Lord and Li Lan beside Jia Ning with slanted eyes.
"Who knows if you mean it or not!" The county lord of Chaoyang said angrily: "Dare to raise arrows against us!" Are you trying to assassinate the Imperial Lord? ”
When Fang Portrait heard some joke, he couldn't help but laugh coldly, "Assassination? The county lord of Chaoyang must not want to fasten the hat on the head of the general, I am not Mu Silian, and I can be framed at will. ”
Qingluan didn't want to have a stiff fight with Fang Xiao in the cluster, he saw that there were thirty or forty neatly armed soldiers around him, if he really fought with him, a dozen or so people on his side were not opponents at all. Suppose that as soon as this person's ferocity comes up, he really kills people and kills them, and none of his people can escape.
"Since General Fang is unintentional, then it is, it must really be General Fang's hand slipping." Qingluan smiled slightly, and stopped the morning sun with his eyes.
"Jianing, this person ......" The county lord of Chaoyang just wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Jianing:
"Chaoyang, go and see if the guards have hunted that fox to the end, Yue Wuxian and Xiao Luo will come back after a while, let's also compete with them to see who hunts the most." Qingluan said unhurriedly.
Aunt Zhu next to her stared at Fang Xiao's every move with cold eyes, without words.
When Fang Xiao heard this, he glanced at Qingluan with a cold snake-like gaze, and then looked at Li Lan, who was frightened and her face was slightly pale, Sen Sen smiled, "I just scared this sister, it's Fang's fault, Yao, there are two pheasants here to compensate my sister for shock." ”
, picked off the two pheasants hanging on the horse's back, threw them far away, and smashed them into Li Lan's arms, which scared her to the ground.
"Who wants your stuff!" The county lord of Chaoyang shouted loudly.
Fang Xiao ignored her, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth, and rode away with a group of soldiers.
Li Lan watched them go away, and hurriedly threw the two pheasants away.
Qingluan felt a slight cold in her back at this time, and the arrow just now really scared her.
……
In the evening, Qingluan and his party returned to the farmhouse, and the guards also hung many hares, pheasants, turtledoves, etc. around each of them, which was considered to be a full load.
Aunt Zhu followed Qingluan into the warm inner room, helped her take off her cloak and boots, and Yuzhu had already brought hot water to soak the county lord's feet.
Zhu Niang: "County Lord, Fang Xiao means something today, we can't take it lightly in the future." ”
Qingluan nodded, snorting slightly, "He doesn't dare to kill me blatantly." ”
"Nevertheless, the stingy maid must return to the princess." I wish my aunt a worried face.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Mu Silian last time has already made those people rumor, if you tell Fang Xiao again, I'm afraid it will make people with a bad heart come out of it."
"County Lord, what happened?" Yuzhu asked.
"Nothing, just a misunderstanding." Qingluan warmed her feet, let Yuzhu dry her with a snow-white handkerchief, and then shrank back on the kang and gently exhaled the cold air in her heart and lungs.
At this time, the county lord of Chaoyang rushed in, "Jianing, someone is here." ”
"Who?" Qingluan was taken aback, could it be that Fang Xiao came over again?
"It's Xiao Luo, them!" The county lord of Chaoyang said with a twinkling eye: "They brought two deer, now we have a good mouth." ”
Qingluan was surprised, and quickly asked Yuzhu to change into dry socks for her, and then put on a pair of warm brocade embroidered cotton shoes for indoor wear.
As soon as I got off the kang, the curtain rang, and I saw Xiao Luo walk in.
He was wearing a light cyan brocade suit, with a leather belt around his waist, his hair tied on the top of his head, and only a hosta pinned to him, his handsome cheeks seemed to be slightly red from the cold outside, and he looked at it mildly.
"Jianing, I looked around the neighborhood and found that you were resting in this farmhouse, so I specially sent you two deer."
Aunt Zhu stood silently behind the county lord of Jianing, although she was unhappy, she didn't say anything.
This is a farmhouse, the door is narrow, unlike the high-door big house, although there is no need to pay much attention to it, but, this Xiao Ergongzi came in without notification, is it too casual......
"You've hunted a deer, I'll go see it!" Qingluan happily ran out of the house.
Xiao Luo also followed with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
There were many kinds of game piled on the ground in the yard, not only deer, but also various birds and hares.
The guards were killing and skinning the skins, placing the skinned prey into two large wooden basins.
"Jianing, let's raise a fire and roast venison." The county lord of Chaoyang squatted on the ground and poked the dead deer corpse, and touched the small furry horn.
These two deer are not yet adults, and the meat should be very tender.
"Okay, let's smoke the venison."
Venison is delicate and tender, and no matter how it is prepared, it is not as delicious as smoked and grilled. If it can be grilled until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with pepper, pepper and spicy powder, it is even more delicious.
As soon as Qingluan looked up, he saw Yue Wuxian also standing in the courtyard, staring at Wei Bao who was carrying firewood and grass into the kitchen.
What is this plague god doing staring at Wei Bao? With a sigh in his heart, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Wuxin, your roasting skills are the best, why don't you come and teach me." ”
Yue Wuxian turned around and walked over with a smile.
"Aman, I still remember my craftsmanship." He smiled meaningfully, "Let's bake it again today." ”
The guards quickly lit a fire, the venison was also sliced, brushed with grease and salt, and Yue Wuxian really sat by the fire in his robe and roasted the meat seriously.
Xiao Luo also helped on the side, skewering the meat slices on iron skewers and placing them by the fire to smoke and roast.
Li Lan and Chaoyang all gathered around, and set up some peeled turtledove pheasants on the fire.
Qingluan quietly glanced at Wei Bao and asked him to leave.
Wei Bao understood, so he pretended to go outside with the mute woman to take care of the horses, and went out of the courtyard.
Just now the man looked at himself with very strange eyes, and scared his white hair and sweat out, but fortunately, the man was called away by the county lord, and I don't know if he realized that he was disguised.
The mute woman made several dishes in the kitchen alone, stir-fried brown and fragrant hare meat, pheasant, and a pot of turtledove meat braised with mushrooms, a basket of golden dough cakes pasted with millet flour, and a pot of rice porridge.
The mother-in-law plucked a lot of cabbage from Tibet, washed it, and put it on the table of the hall together.
At this time, Yue Wuxian had already roasted some venison and put it on a wooden plate and handed it to Qingluan.
Xiao Luo wrapped a piece of venison in a washed cabbage leaf and handed it to Jianing, "Eat it this way so that it won't get angry." ”
Qingluan took it and took a bite and chewed it slowly.
Yue Wuxian raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept over the faces of Xiao Luo and Qingluan, and he saw that the two of them had calm faces, and they got along like ordinary brothers and sisters.
However, the two siblings seem to have a different kind of trust and intimacy.
