The nobles who go to the hunting ground every year are not all together, after all, the time of the whole autumn hunt is not short, so there are always people early and some late, it depends on the convenience of each person. Chen Yanhong, Chen Yijie, Qiao Shizi and others are the first to set off. Tang Lu'er didn't know the reason why Chen Yanhong was in such a hurry, but she knew from the mouths of others that the reason why Qiao Shizi and the others came over first was to get the name of the first prey hunt this year.

No matter what kind of activity, even if it's just a fun, as long as it goes on for a long time, there will always be people vying for the first place in all kinds of things, just like no matter what post, someone is grabbing the sofa.

Tang Lu'er sighed, she wanted to write a few sketches of people silently, but she didn't want to be stunned for an afternoon.

She sat down on the chair with her ass wide, and when she noticed that the light in the room was fading, and heard the chattering of the maids outside, she put down the sketchpad and charcoal in her hand, got up and walked out to the other side of the street.

It turned out that it was almost dusk, and the autumn rain that had been falling for almost the whole day had stopped, and the air was full of cold and refreshing moisture. Tang Lu'er took a deep breath, but suddenly shivered, she quickly exhaled, shrunk her shoulders and whispered It's cold, it's almost late autumn, less than a month and a half, the sky is about to enter winter, and now the animals are coming out of the hole in groups to find food for the winter, which is a good time for hunting.

The so-called hunting ground, in fact, is the island called Wuqi Mountain foothills, that large stretch of nearly thousands of miles, gentle slope of hilly land, from the seaside town to here, is to take a carriage also take more than half a day, the residents here as early as a few decades ago, was enclosed by the nobles one by one driven away, now Tang Luer where they settled, is the village of the year.

Of course, the place where they live now has become as beautiful as the Qionglou Palace in the renovation and renovation year by year, and there is no trace of the poverty of the village.

And the place of men and women is bounded by the street between the houses on both sides, and the north and south are separated, and the maids and servants naturally live only in the outer streets.

After Tang Lu'er withdrew her gaze from the setting sun, she looked at the place on the opposite street for King Anyuan and Concubine Anyuan to rest. I saw that under the twilight, the house over there was still as quiet as when she first came, compared with the lively chatter of the maids on her side, it was even more desolate that the head was a little quiet, the high-flying eaves, the hideous beast heads, and the vermilion pillars, although they were far from being as grand as the Chen Mansion, they still exuded a solemnity that people did not dare to approach.

Concubine An Yuan should have already entered the island, and I don't know if Seventh Brother Ming'er will come. And who is the person Meng San said mixed in, the more I think about it, the more I feel that everyone is suspicious, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become.

Just when Tang Lu'er was standing in a daze under the eaves, the boys and brothers opposite had already begun to move stupidly. Today's rain has deprived them of a good opportunity to show their talents, and now that the rain has stopped, and the sky has not yet darkened, how can these people still sit still, so after a few coaxes, they all turned over and got on their horses, and ran directly from the trail in front of them to the hunting ground.

As soon as Chen Yijie got on the horse, he looked at a little girl standing under the eaves of the small house on the opposite side, with a green skirt and white jacket, as tender as a shallot, his eyes lit up, and he immediately hit the horse and walked there, and suddenly saw Chen Ergongzi riding a horse to this side, and the maids next to him were far away from this, Tang Luer was stunned, and wanted to go back to the house to avoid, who knew Yi Jie and shouted: "What are you running, you can still eat you, last time you almost broke the face, the master hasn't settled this matter with you!" ”

Tang Lu'er had no choice but to stand up and smile bitterly: "Isn't that the second master who drank too much and walked unsteadily and fell, how can you blame me?" ”

"There's always your reason." Chen Yijie turned over and dismounted as he spoke, pulled the reins in one hand, and walked to Tang Lu'er with a horsewhip in the other hand and said: "Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if the master doesn't care about you, it's good that you really don't even have a word!" ”

"Second Master...... What do you want? Tang Lu'er looked at the man in front of him with a wary face, and then looked at the horsewhip he grabbed in his hand, afraid that he would be interested and tie himself up and pull him away.

"It's strange, why didn't I see that this girl of yours would be so clever two years ago." Chen Yijie looked Tang Lu'er up and down several times, muttered to himself, and then looked at Tang Lu'er and said with a smile, "Forget it, I'm just coming to ask you, can you ride a horse?" Do you want to teach you? ”

"Thank you for your kindness, no need, I don't like horseback riding." Tang Lu'er hurriedly shook her head.

Chen Yijie seemed to know that she would refuse, and he was not annoyed, but suddenly threw the reins and walked to Tang Lu'er with a horsewhip. Just as he was about to stretch the horsewhip to Tang Luer's chin, Tang Luer had already stepped back, and at the same time, Zhaocai also came out of the house, leaning over and facing Chen Yijie, "Meow!" The ground screamed.

As soon as he looked at the cat, Chen Yijie remembered that on the day of the banquet in the mansion, King Anyuan spoke about the maintenance. He took back his horsewhip and smiled: "What are you afraid of, you just don't move." ”

"Brother Chen, what are you grinding, it's getting dark!" An impatient voice suddenly came from behind, Chen Yijie looked back, it turned out to be Qiao Shizi and Zhao Pinliang, and saw the two of them each riding a horse standing at the other end of the street looking at him.

"Just come." Chen Yijie answered, then turned his face to Tang Lu'er and said, "Master will teach you to ride a horse tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he turned and got on his horse and went towards Qiao Shizi.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean, looking at your slimy energy just now, could it be that you fell in love with the girl next to your fourth sister?" After the three of them rode their horses for a while, Qiao Shizi smiled at Chen Yijie.

"I think you're too abrasive, a few days ago, you dragged that girl directly into the house, I don't know how much trouble you saved." Zhao Pinliang also said, he was a little disdainful of Chen Yijie's cautious temperament. According to him, that little girl didn't have much entanglement with King An Yuan at all, and Chen Yijie didn't have to look forward to it so much. Regardless of whether King An Yuan has other thoughts, just talking about that girl, she is not even qualified to be an outer room. Now if that girl is accepted into the mansion by Chen Yijie, then King Anyuan can still rob other people's concubines, isn't it a joke!

"I should understand when I am Qiao Shizi." Chen Yijie smiled.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Shizi was a little puzzled.

"The prince is willing to surprise those treasures in your house, I heard that last month, a subordinate fed an extra piece of watermelon to your baby, causing your baby to have a stomach, but you cut off the hands of the next person." Chen Yijie said with a smile while beating his horse, "I am the same as the prince of the world, and I am reluctant to surprise the beauty." ”

After Qiao Shizi was stunned for a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter: "You are wrong, when they are well-behaved, I will naturally treat them well, but if there are disobedient people, they still have to be taught a lesson when it is time to teach, and they must be made to recognize who is the master!" According to me, what Brother Zhao just said is right, if you really like it, just tie it up and take it away. If you really can't bear it, say a word, I'll explain it, and let people send it directly to your house, but then it will be a good thing, and you can give me that cat as a thank you gift. ”

……

In the evening, the nobles returned with a full load, Chen Yijie carried two live rabbits to Mrs. Chen's side with a smile, and after a few words, someone outside called him to drink, Mrs. Chen's side was going to accompany a few noble ladies for dinner, so he got up and said goodbye. As soon as I got out of the room, I saw Chen Yanhong waiting in the corridor.

After the brother and sister walked side by side outside the gate, Chen Yijie pondered for a long time before asking again: "The matter that the fourth sister said is a little dangerous, and it is not appropriate to hurt someone." ”

"How can you get hurt, as long as the second brother keeps an eye on it and makes a timely move, he can get his wish." Chen Yanhong sighed as she spoke, with a sad face, "But I also hesitated for a long time before I told the second brother about this matter, if the second brother really doesn't want to, then forget it, it's just that I have told the second brother about this matter, the second brother is an understanding person, and he must have been worried about it for a long time, so he didn't show that meaning to his wife for a long time, but I know it in my heart, and besides, this matter is good for you and my brother and sister, is the second brother really willing to be so pressed by the eldest brother all the time, and my wife doesn't know how long she has been anxious about this matter." ”

After Chen Yijie left, Chen Yanhong suppressed the excitement in her heart, turned around and walked to her room with a calm face, but met Chen Yanyun halfway. Chen Yanyun was born by a woman raised by her father, and it was not until three years ago that she was admitted to the house with her mother. Therefore, although the two sisters are of the same age, they have never been close, and even if they meet on weekdays, they just nod.

And Chen Yanyun seems to know her status in this family, so in the past few years in the Chen Mansion, she has never fought or grabbed, and her life is simpler than that of her subordinates. Maybe I'm really in a hurry, after all, I'm a year older than her, and if this family matter is not discussed, the more it drags on, the more difficult it will be.

"Fourth sister Ming'er, do you plan to ride a horse with her father and brothers?" When the two were about to pass by, Chen Yanyun suddenly asked with a smile.

Chen Yanhong was stunned, then glanced at Chen Yanyun, and saw that the other party was still the same as when she met for the first time, with that smile on her face, obviously very beautiful, but it always made people shudder.

The people in the house say that she is more beautiful than Chen Yanyun, but in fact, she knows very well in her heart that this sister who is one year older than her is not inferior to her in appearance, but the other party rarely appears in front of everyone, most of them are sick in the house, and after a long time, even the people in the house often ignore the existence of such a girl.

Beauties are jealous of each other, even if Chen Yanhong doesn't want to admit it, she can't ignore the feeling in her heart.

"Hmm." Chen Yanhong only nodded, and walked sideways, only a few steps, but she turned back and said, "Third sister Ming'er is also going out?" Do you have a hunting outfit? ”

"Yes, but I can wear whatever I want, and I don't have to ride a hunting suit." Chen Yanyun had already turned around, and when she heard Chen Yanhong ask, she just turned her face slightly, said lightly, and walked away.

Chen Yanhong looked at the back of the drifting away in a daze, frowned, and didn't come back to her senses until the little cool came over.
