Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hunting Meeting
Su Muge sat down in the carriage with such a stupid Xiahou Mojing.
After Xiahou Mo sat down, he raised his eyes to look at her.
"So if you like the jade porcelain pot of the hundred birds and the phoenix of the previous dynasty, this king will give it to you."
Su Muge lowered his head and saw that he was holding a teapot, and the posture really seemed to be reluctant to let go.
She grimaced and put the teapot back on the table.
"Didn't the prince leave on horseback just now?" How to come back again!
Xiahou Mo took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. "The weather is getting colder, and this king suddenly wants to take the carriage."
Su Muge sighed, in the small space of the carriage, he always felt that his whole body was invaded by Xiahou Mo's breath.
Xia Houmo saw her sitting in the corner like a young beast, and he thought of teasing her.
"Got a post from the hunting party?"
Su Muge felt that what he had heard the most in the past two days was the hunting meeting.
"The prince will also go to the hunting party, right?"
Xiahou Mo was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "Do you want this king to go?" ”
"Uh......" It's really hard to talk about this day, Su Muge feels that he has to fight with Xiahou Mo himself.
"The prince is heroic, I don't know how many boudoir ladies want to see the prince at the hunting party."
Xiahou Mo hooked the corners of his lips and looked at her with a smile.
Su Muge was a little twisted by him, but fortunately, the carriage stopped at this time.
"Miss Su, it's here."
Su Muge lifted the curtain as if he was fleeing, and jumped down directly without even stepping on the pedals.
"Thank you, lord, the courtiers are retiring."
Xiahou Mo lifted the curtain slightly, watching her petite figure gradually disappear at the gate of Sufu, a smile flashed in her dark black eyes.
"Lord Wang, the people of the second prince have not given up, and they have been wandering around the gold mine, I am afraid that they will make some moves." Zuoqiu rode to the carriage and whispered.
The gold mine discovered in Zhou County before, they took a lot of effort to hide it, and now that the gold mine has been mined halfway, it is impossible to stop at this time.
In the carriage, Xiahou Mo's eyes were dim. "How long will the gold mine take?"
"At least a month or so."
It's not a big gold mine, and they'll be able to finish it by the end of next month if it's very fast.
"The second emperor brother has been tired and running around for a long time, so it's time for him to rest for a while."
When Zuoqiu heard this, he had an accurate number in his heart. "Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
On the other side, Su Muge went all the way back to the Peach Blossom Courtyard, and it wasn't until she poured two cups of hot water into it that she felt her heartbeat stabilize a little.
Hell, every time she meets Xiahou Mo, she looks embarrassed.
"Miss, Li Ping of the concierge said that an hour ago, a young man named Cheng Ran came to find you, Miss, Li Ping said that seeing that what the young man said was not true, he would let him wait outside."
Cheng Ran was the teenager Su Muge saved on the street before, and when she left, she told him that when his brother's health improved, she would let him come to Su Mansion to find her, but she didn't expect him to come so soon.
"Take people into the little garden."
"Yes."
Su Muge changed into a homely moon-white peony wide-sleeved long skirt, without a belt, and her long hair was only decorated with a hosta that was not particularly good.
She asked Yueru to cut her bangs and cover the birthmarks on the corners of her eyes, which looked no different from ordinary people.
When Su Muge arrived at the small garden, Xinche had already led Cheng Ran and waited outside the pavilion in the garden.
"Miss."
"Miss Su is fine."
Seeing Su Muge walk in, the two bowed down.
Cheng Ran wore a clean blue-gray robe today, the robe had been washed and white, but it was clean and refreshing, Su Muge knew that this might be the best robe for this child.
Su Muge walked into the pavilion and sat down, and asked Yueru and the others to retreat outside the pavilion to guard.
This gazebo is transparent on all sides, and you can see the situation in the pavilion at a glance, and she and Cheng Ran are not afraid of being gossiped about.
"Is your brother's illness better?"
"Thank you for treating my brother, my brother has looked a lot better these days."
"Your brother's illness is caused by long-term malnutrition, and it will be no problem to recuperate slowly in the future, don't worry."
"Miss Su can cure her brother's illness, and she is my benefactor Cheng Ran, saying that Ran is willing to serve Miss Su before and after the saddle."
"I really need your help here, but you have to think clearly, in the future, the freedom of life and death is in the hands of others, now I will give you another chance to regret it, if you leave now, I will treat it as a good deed before."
Cheng Ran knelt down with a firm expression. "Cheng Ran won't regret it."
"Okay, then let's sign this." Su Muge took out a deed of sale from his body.
Cheng Ran didn't hesitate too much, and pressed his handprint directly.
Su Muge asked Yueru to collect the deed of sale, and asked her to take fifty taels of silver and put it on the table.
"You take these fifty taels of silver, help me find five to ten innocent, but homeless, smart and clever children of about ten years old, male or female, after you find them, you settle them down and then come and tell me, and I will tell you what to do next."
Cheng Ran didn't ask much, and solemnly took the fifty taels of silver.
In his opinion, Su Muge handed over so much silver to him the first time he asked him to do something, this was trusting him, and he must do his best to do things well.
"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely get things done."
"Then you have to work hard, you can use these few taels of silver to buy some delicious food for your brother, and buy yourself two sets of clothes, it's cold, don't freeze."
Cheng Ran felt that he had still received a lot of favors from Su Muge, and he really couldn't ask for this silver anymore, but when he thought of his thin brother, he took the silver with red eyes.
"Thank you, miss."
After Cheng Ran left, Yueru took a walk with Su Muge in the small garden.
"Miss, what are you doing here?"
What to do? Of course, it's a big view!
But now it's just a start, and she's not going to tell them yet.
Su Muge smiled playfully. "Want to know?"
Yueru nodded.
"I won't tell you!" After speaking, Su Muge ran into the Peach Blossom Courtyard in two steps.
Yueru stomped her feet in place. "Miss, you're so bad!"
Su Muge has been treating Xiahou Rui for half a month in a row, and now he has forced all the toxins in his body to his legs.
Xia Hourui's spirit is also obviously much better than before.
Gonggong Yi walked into the Yangyi Hall with the medicine bowl, glanced at Xiahou Rui, who was sitting on the soft floor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
Xia Hourui put down the fold in his hand and didn't look at it, so he directly reached out and broke the medicine bowl and drank it all.
Father-in-law Yi hurriedly served the candied fruit, but Xiahou Rui waved his hand.
"I haven't felt this spirited in a long time."
Gonggong Yi said with a smile: "The slave also looks at the emperor's face getting better and better day by day, it won't take long for the emperor to fully recover, the slave congratulates the emperor first." ”
Xiahou Rui laughed. "You old thing, you actually picked up some good things to say."
"Your Majesty, it looks like you're about to go to the hunting party, you didn't participate last year because you were unwell, but you want to join in the fun this year?" Grandpa Yi asked tentatively while handing over the warm water.
"Hunting meeting...... Xiahou Rui frowned and thought for a moment.
"Yes, I heard that this year, the second prince went to the west to get a lot of fierce leopards and big insects back, saying that he wanted to take them down in one fell swoop."
Xia Hourui also became a little interested when he listened. "Well, I haven't moved well for so long, so I'm going to join in the fun this time."
"Eh, the minions will let them prepare, and it will be less than three days before the hunt begins."
"Go ahead."
……
Three days later, the hunt opened.
The officials and children of the entire capital got up early, changed into neat riding clothes and prepared to set off.
The posts of the hunting party are issued by the imperial court, and there will be five posts on the mansion of the big officials above the third grade, one is for the officials themselves, and the other is for the ladies and ladies.
Officials below the third grade only have three posts, and the nobles of the family have their own special posts.
Su Lun knew that Su Muge and Zhao had posts in their hands, so he gave the other two posts in his hands to An and Su Jingwen.
This hunting meeting is said to be a hunting competition, but everyone knows the deeper meaning.
So as early as a month ago, the young ladies of the sons began to prepare, and everyone hoped to have a good time at the hunting party.
Su Muge didn't want to join in the excitement, but Zhao looked interested, and she could only accompany her.
Before dawn, Su Muge was dug up from the bed by Yueru.
"Miss, this is a riding costume made by our lady herself, Miss change it quickly, it must look good."
Su Muge looked at the fiery red riding suit and was a little helpless.
Her mother has always felt that her usual clothes are too plain and have no youthful atmosphere, so this time she specially made a very eye-catching riding outfit.
Although I think it's better to keep a low profile, but there is only one set of riding clothes, and if you don't wear it, you can only wear regular clothes, she doesn't care, but if she really wears it out, Su Lun hasn't stared at her yet, and her mother will look at her with a disappointed and pitiful face.
After putting it on, Su Muge stood in front of the bronze mirror.
After this period of recuperation, her physical condition is much better than before, even her face is gradually ruddy, and her whole person looks much more vivid.
"The eldest lady is so beautiful." Xin Che exclaimed.
Su Muge looked at himself in the bronze mirror, if he didn't look at the birthmark on the corner of his eye, this leather bag was indeed beautiful, and it was very suitable for wearing bright colors.
"Yueru, go to that fat powder."
"Does Miss want to put on makeup? The slave and the maid will go. Yueru was delighted, the eldest lady was willing to dress herself, that was a good thing!
After bringing the fat powder, Su Muge dipped his hand on his face and drew it.
Yueru was a little anxious to see that she only depicted the birthmark in the place, how could anyone not put on makeup on the whole face.
"Miss, why don't you let the slave help you?"
Su Muge didn't blink his eyes. "No, you don't."
A quarter of an hour later, Su Muge finished drawing, wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief, and turned to look at Yueru and them with a smile. "How's that, is it pretty?"
"Little, Miss, you, your face ......"
"Miss, you, what's on your face?"
