Chapter 047: Blind Date
Since the completion of the badger village, there have been customs of spring hunting and autumn hunting.
Spring hunting usually takes place at the end of the first month or the beginning of February, when the weather is mild, and the beasts gradually wake up from hibernation and begin to move and forage, and the mountains and forests are full of animal tracks.
And after a winter break from hunting, people also have to start a new year's work, hunting for a living.
Therefore, the adult men in the village burned incense and prayed, sounded the gong to open the way, and shot the first arrow of spring, announcing the official start of the hunting career in the new year.
Spring hunts are generally symbolic and rarely take the form of events, and the time is only one day.
After all, spring is the season for wild beasts to recover and reproduce, and if you hunt too much, the next three seasons of wild beasts will be greatly reduced, which may threaten the survival of the people in the village.
Autumn hunts are mostly held at the end of September, and are often carried out in the form of large competitions, which last for more than ten days.
After all, it was a long winter, and the snow covered the mountains, and everything was hidden, and it was not easy to hunt again to find rations.
Therefore, before that, we can only have a lot of hunting reserves and keep them for the winter.
However, the summer hunting competition is still the first time, and it is specially opened for the big gentleman from the capital, I heard that this big gentleman is superb in archery, how can everyone not be curious and excited.
Outside the paddock, Zhang Orion looked at Shu Yu with disgust, and whispered: "Didn't I already make an agreement with you to pull the hook and not participate in this competition?" Why are you here again? And dressed like this! ”
Look at Han Xia, and then look at Bai Ying...... It's a spicy thing like Li's second daughter-in-law, and she is wearing a bright dress at this time!
"It's convenient!" Shu Yuhun waved his hand indifferently and said, "I'm just here to see the excitement, and I'm not going to play, Dad, don't worry!" ”
"What's so nice about this." Zhang Orion muttered, turned his head and explained to his wife on the side, "You must take good care of her today, and don't allow her to go to the paddock to be strong!" You know, so many people are watching, in case ......"
Zhang Li received her husband's hint, nodded again and again, patted her chest and promised: "You can rest assured, I am watching her!" ”
stepped forward again, leaned into her husband's ear and whispered, "I made an appointment with Wang Xiniang to see each other here today......
This kind of occasion where the whole village is dispatched, it is most appropriate to look at each other, and a few words between each other will not attract attention, and both parties will not feel embarrassed if they succeed or not.
Zhang Orion suddenly realized, nodded, and looked at the rough clothes worn by Shu Yu with disgust, and shook his head.
Since it's an appointment with someone, why can't you make a good meal, not to mention asking her to apply grease and powder, at least you come over in a skirt!
is so coarse and short, like a tomboy, who is willing to marry such a daughter-in-law?
Zhang Orion muttered, knowing that everyone should have seen it at this time, and it was impossible for his daughter to go home to change her skirt and come back to see each other, so she had to give up.
"There will be a lot of people in a while, and there may be wild beasts running out of the paddock, so you must watch Xiao Wangzhi and don't let him bump into it." Zhang Orion repeatedly told his wife and daughter.
Xiao Wangzhi is Han Yan's baby bump, and he can't afford to miss at all.
Zhang Li and Shu Yu smiled and nodded.
"Dad, don't worry!" Shu Yu hugged Xiao Wangzhi in his arms, and urged with a smile, "Go quickly, Brother Han is waving to you over there!" ”
Zhang Orion turned his head to see that Han Yan had already turned over and got on his horse, and was standing on the ground with a smile waiting for him.
The young man has a straight posture, a handsome spirit, standing across a horse, sassy and heroic, and a change from the weak and handsome in the past, which caused the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law to look at it with a red face.
The men were amazed and admired, they didn't expect Han Yan to have such a chic and heroic side.
Only a married young man like Han Lusheng and Li Er, when he saw his daughter-in-law looking at Han Yan with a look of amazement and fascination, it was inevitable that he was a little dissatisfied, but he was not good at saying anything in public, which ruined everyone's interest.
Seeing this, Zhang Orion waved his hand at his wife and daughter and Xiao Wangzhi, turned over his horse, and rode over.
After the gong was fired, the men entered the paddock one after another, and the women and children stayed outside the arena to gossip and wait.
Zhang Li saw Wang Xiniang who was looking for him everywhere, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged Shu Yu and Xiao Wangzhi and leaned over without a trace.
was only halfway there, and his eyes collided with Wang Xiniang's.
"Yo, the eldest sister is here too!" Wang Xiniang is a cool person, with a loud voice, she waved her hand and greeted warmly from afar, "But I haven't seen you for some days!" ”
The Zhang family is in the south of Badger Mountain, but the Wang family is in Shandong, although they live in a village, but except for the gentlemen who often meet when they go into the mountains to hunt, women are rare to see on weekdays.
Shu Yu didn't know that his mother and Wang Xiniang had already made an appointment to see each other here today, so when she saw Wang Xiniang coming to greet her, she didn't dodge, and greeted generously: "Aunt Wang!" ”
Wang Xiniang herself has a cool temperament, and she can't see those demons who are cowardly and twisted, and Shu Yu is so down-to-earth and generous, which just matches her intentions.
"Hey!" Wang Xiniang happily responded, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, she took Shu Yu's hand and praised one after another, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the eldest niece is getting more and more lovely!" The more I look at this, the more happy I become! ”
When Zhang Li heard this, he knew that this family affair was genealogous, and he immediately became happy, and said it to Wang Xiniang with a smile, and he said it to Wang Xiniang, one by one, and he did not leave his own pair of children.
What "how is my family's Shuyu", "How is my family's Wang Xi", "Your daughter is really good", "Your son is not bad" and so on.
Shu Yu is just sluggish, and he has noticed something at this time.
But she wasn't shocked or disgusted.
Young people, when they reach the marriageable age, which one has not been urged to marry by the three aunts and six mothers-in-law, and has been secretly arranged a few blind dates for unknown reasons?
Shu Yu is accustomed to this.
But he didn't plan to continue to stand still, listening to the two loving and anxious old mothers carry out waves of business blows to each other.
"Aunt Wang, you talk first, and I'll take Xiao Wangzhi over there." Shu Yu smiled and pointed to Xiao Wangzhi, who was holding her hand and dragging it to the gong platform, and said with a smile, "This kid has long been in a hurry." ”
Wang Xiniang took care of Xiao Wangzhi at this time, and at this look, the words of praise erupted: "Yo, this is Mr. Han's son, look at this little appearance of the tiger's head, it's really cute!" Look at this ......."
Shu Yu patiently kept smiling, and listened to Wang Xiniang praise Xiao Wangzhi from top to bottom, from inside to outside, and finally found an opportunity to get out.
