Chapter 55: The Girl
Just as the coachman had expected, he arrived at the royal hunting ground at noon the next day.
After lunch, the emperor ordered to set up camp, and the autumn hunt lasted for half a month, that is, it was late October when he went back.
Chen Zhiyan changed into a light yellow knight costume worn by the rivers and lakes, picked up the green silk, carried a bow and an arrow and went out, but just happened to run into Xie Enran.
"Where are you going?" Xie Eran asked her.
"Hunting! Didn't you say that you roasted me a rabbit to eat when you got here? I'm going to find more rabbits, maybe there's anything else to eat! Chen Zhiyi looked up at him.
Xie Eran raised his forehead, "My cousin said, Your Majesty will shoot arrows in person for a while, and only after Your Majesty shoots arrows, can the autumn hunt officially begin." It's a good thing I came quickly, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find you later! ”
Chen Zhiyi pursed his lips, "It's really troublesome." ”
"Alright, let's go!"
There is an open space in the hunting ground, and there is a high platform, and the emperor is standing on the high platform, with Empress Shixia and Concubine Yu beside him. As for Concubine Wang Shu, she was pregnant, and the emperor hereby told her to rest in the tent.
Chen Zhiyi felt bored, the emperor muttered for a long, long time, Chen Zhiyi only hoped that he would shoot arrows quickly, and then she could go hunting openly.
Just when Chen Zhiyi was thinking about whether to hunt any other game besides rabbits, the emperor finally finished speaking, and when Chen Zhiyi came back to his senses, he only saw an arrow shot out. The autumn hunt officially began, limited to half a month, and those who hunted the most prey could get a white jade disc.
The white jade disc is not rare, but the emperor gave it is rare, so as soon as the boy who is good at riding a horse and shooting arrows saw the arrow shot, he rode his horse and ran into the forest to hunt.
Chen Zhiyi hunted and roasted the cardboard box, and she was not interested in the emperor's white jade plate, so she said hello to Xie Shi and Xie Fanghua, and called Xie Erran to go to the forest slowly.
"These two children have loved to stick together since they were children," Xie Shi looked at the backs of the two of them, and was a little worried, "It's just that now that I've grown up, Zhiyi is a girl again, if I'm still so crazy all day long and go out with Ran to make trouble, it's difficult to find a husband......"
When Xie Fanghua heard this, she just smiled lightly, "Mother, don't worry about this." They're measured. And Zhiyi is twenty years old, and some girls are how old their children are at this time, but she is still not in a hurry, and she must have a home in her heart. "It's just that now, she's too embarrassed to say it.
The last sentence Xie Fanghua didn't say.
Xie sighed.
She didn't worry about Chen Zhiyi's marriage, but Chen Zhiyu was like a boy, and she couldn't embroider the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention that Chen Zhiyu rarely stayed in the capital all year round, and few young masters in the capital would be willing to marry such a woman.
Besides, Xie vaguely remembered that there were a few young masters who were willing to marry Chen Zhiyi, and they were all so neat that she never dared to step into the door of Chen's Mansion for half a step, and she fainted when she saw the plaque at the door of Chen's mansion.
For example, there is a son surnamed Li, who was once scared to pee his pants by Chen Zhiyi's ghost, and went back to have a serious illness. Later, Master Li also asked Chen Bozhong to settle accounts, and he had to ask Chen Bozhong to give an explanation to the Li family, so he made trouble for a long time, and then there was no son who was willing to see Chen Zhiyi.
Thinking of this, Xie frowned and sighed.
There are many animals in the forest, all of them are clever, Chen Zhiyi boasts that his archery skills are very good, but after a long day, he has not gained anything at all.
"It's so angry!" Chen Zhiyi lost his bow and sat under the shade of the tree, "I didn't catch anything for a long time." It wasn't like this before......"
Xie Ran held the arrow and sat down as well, "Take your time, you will always catch it." ”
Just as Chen Zhiyi gave up and was about to go back, a gray hare suddenly jumped out in front of him. The gray rabbit looked left and right a few times and saw no one nearby, so he calmly began to graze.
Chen Zhiyan's eyes lit up, and he patted Xie Enran's arm and asked him to hand him an arrow. Xie Ran understood and took an arrow for her.
Chen Zhiyi took the arrow, carefully picked it up, slowly stood up, and aimed it at the rabbit with empty eyes.
With a whoosh, the arrow stabbed at the gray rabbit, and by the time the gray rabbit reacted, it had already been shot through the stomach. Chen Zhiyi was very strong and shot the rabbit away.
A burst of screams followed.
A woman in pink appeared in front of them in a panic, she looked at her feet in horror, and found that she was fine, and then slowly calmed down.
Chen Zhiyi only glanced at her, then ran over to get his rabbit, Xie Enran followed with an arrow, and asked the woman in pink: "Is the girl okay?" ”
The arrow passed through the gray rabbit's body, but Chen Zhiyi was afraid that the arrow would be easy to break, so he lifted the rabbit's ears like Xie Enran, and then pulled out the arrow with his other hand.
The woman in pink looked at Xie Eran and was stunned.
She had never seen such a good-looking man.
"No, it's fine. It was Liu Wan's fault for disturbing Miss Gongzi Yaxing. The woman in pink blushed and lowered her head.
Chen Zhiyan looked at her, took the arrow in Xie Enran's arms, and then threw the rabbit to Xie Enran. That Liu Wan is dressed like a big lady, but what are you doing here?
"Your name is Liu Wan?" Xie Eran felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
"Yes."
Chen Zhiyi poked Xie Enran and asked curiously, "Do you know?" ”
Xie Eran nodded, shook his head again, and finally asked Liu Wan: "Do you know Liu Ye?" Xie Enran seems to have heard Liu Ye talk about this person, but he has only mentioned it twice, and Xie Enran has not deliberately remembered it, and he is quite confused about this name.
Liu Wan suddenly raised her head, "That's my cousin." Does Childe know my cousin? ”
She raised her head, and Chen Zhiyi saw her face clearly. She looks pretty good, she looks very gentle and soft, although she is not as good-looking as Fu Siyi, but this person's character is ...... It should be better than Fu Siyi, right?
Chen Zhiyi can't say that her character must be very, very good, but compared with normal people, she can confidently say that her conduct is absolutely fine!
Absolute!
Absolute...... bar.
After listening to Liu Wan's words, Xie Ran almost remembered, "I'm Liu Ye's eldest brother." ”
In fact, Liu Ye is a little older than Xie Enran.
Liu Wan was only stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to her senses, "I, I'm looking for my cousin." But I can't find him, can Childe help me? ”
"No, you can't!" Chen Zhiyi interjected. She still wants Xie Enran to help herself, how can she let him go to help others?
Liu Wan was stunned. She hadn't noticed that there was a woman next to her, and judging by her dress and appearance, it was indeed very inconspicuous. It wasn't until she roared now that Liu Wan's gaze stayed on Chen Zhiyi, "Girl? ”
Chen Zhiyi suddenly felt that he was so rude, after all, he was still praising his ...... in his heart just now Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyi scratched his head, "What are you looking for Liu Ye for?" ”
This question was a little embarrassing, but Liu Wan didn't answer it, but only asked, "Also, I don't know the names of the son and the girl?" ”
"He Xie Ran, I'm Chen Zhiyi."
Liu Wan went to see Xie Eran again, "Young Master Xie from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Xie Eran nodded, "Exactly." ”
Liu Wan lowered her head again.
"Miss Liu, Xie Enran still wants to hunt with me, otherwise you go back by yourself, then the cub is a weak scholar, and he will definitely go back after playing for a while." Chen Zhiyi looked at her with a smile.
Liu Wan snorted, "Then, that bothers Gongzi Xie and Miss Chen." Liu Wan went back first. ”
She was very surprised, surprised that Chen Zhiyan called Liu Ye cub, and guessed in her heart that the relationship between Chen Zhiyi, Xie Enran and Liu Ye must be very good.
After Liu Wan left, Chen Zhiyan looked at the rabbit Xie Enran was holding in his hand and licked his mouth, "Xie Enran, why don't we hunt another rabbit and try chili peppers and sugar?" On the way here, I have thought about everything, except for the bitter and salty, you can try the sweet and sour. Or sour and spicy and ...... together"
Speaking of this sour and spicy, Chen Zhiyi remembered the hot and sour noodles he used to eat in a restaurant in the rivers and lakes, except for Xie Enran's rabbit and Murong Jin's grilled fish, which were the most delicious things Chen Zhiyan had ever eaten.
Especially when you eat it in winter, no matter how cold or tired you are, eating such a bite of hot and sour noodles will make the whole person very warm. It's just a pity that when I went to that small restaurant later, the boss had already changed, and the noodles were not as authentic as before. Although it is still called hot and sour noodles, no matter how Chen Zhiyi adds chili pepper and vinegar, he can't eat the initial feeling.
Maybe it was a problem with the ingredients, she thought.
"My rabbit is different from Brother Jin'......" Xie Ranran really wanted to beat her, "Bury it in the soil, you still want to add chili peppers and sugar?" You're a pig...... right."
Chen Zhiyi glared at him, "You are a pig." ”
Xie Eran felt that this rabbit was a little heavy, so he asked Chen Zhiyan to hunt another rabbit and go back quickly. So Chen Zhiyi hunted another gray rabbit, but this gray rabbit was a little smaller, and the color was not as dark as the first rabbit.
She originally wanted to hunt another one, but seeing that Xie Ene Ran was indeed a little tired, and it was a little dark, she honestly followed Xie Ene Ran back.
Back in the tent, Xie Lenran was ready to roast the rabbit, but as soon as he found all the materials, a maid came in, looking at the costume, it seemed to be from Liu's house, "Young Master Xie, Miss Chen, our Liu Gongzi invites you to go to his place for dinner." ”
"Liu Ye?" Xie Ene muttered, "You tell your Liu Gongzi that I'll go in a while." ”
"Yes."
"My roast rabbit ......," Chen Zhiyu looked at him with blank eyes.
Looking at her appearance, Xie Lenran was stunned, but quickly came back to his senses and nodded her eyebrows, "Don't worry, you can't eat roast rabbit for dinner, and you can eat it for supper." ”
Chen Zhiyi was excited all of a sudden, "Okay, okay!" Then let's go find Liu Ye! ”
