Chapter 18: Mulan Autumn (II)
Chapter 18: Mulan Autumn (II)
The two of them leaned lazily on the bed and didn't want to move, so Zhiyun picked up an agate earring-shaped communicator from the bedside and greeted October.
After a while, October entered the house with a cloisonné enamel gilt bar in his hand and rested on the small table, "Lord Wang, Fujin, the fire has been extinguished in the kitchen, and the slave maid has packed up a few snacks, you two can make do with it." ”
When Zhiyun saw it, he saw that it was a bowl of red rice porridge, a plate of osmanthus powder sugar cake, a plate of chicken fat rolls, a plate of egg and half wings, a plate of salt and pepper rolls, and a basket of golden dumplings, and said with a smile: "It's hearty enough." ”
Ouyang was also very satisfied, he didn't eat much at night, he was very hungry at this time, not to mention that the dim sum was quite exquisite, even if it was a little worse, he couldn't take care of it so much, waved his hand to let October go down, put on his clothes and sat up, twisted the hot kerchief and wiped his hands, and began to eat.
Zhiyun was not hungry, she ate a lot at night, but she still pulled up her hair casually and drank two mouthfuls of porridge with her.
The next day, Ouyang wanted to go to court early, and before dawn, he had to get up, but Zhiyun dragged the quilt and continued to sleep comfortably, and when he woke up and had breakfast, he took a leisurely stroll around the garden of Rehe Palace.
This is worthy of being a summer resort built by the Lord of Long Live with great efforts, there are charming scenery everywhere, never get tired of seeing, people almost forget to return, occasionally you can meet other side Fu Jin Gege or something, to the Huang Fu Jin, it seems that only Zhiyun came alone, this is not strange, the men of the Forbidden City are driving, which one is not left in charge of the backyard, Du Zhiyun is an exception.
Ouyang can't be as comfortable as his daughter-in-law, except for eating in the courtyard every morning and evening, he is in Nanmu Hall the rest of the time, accompanying Kangxi to deal with political affairs, and he can only be said to be busier than in the capital before.
Zhiyun visits the garden every day, talks about gossip with other side Fujin, chats, and gets a food or two from time to time to taste.
August is coming, and it's time to go to the Mulan paddock.
When Zhiyun followed the team to leave the palace by car, the waning moon was still hanging in the air, and now it was already autumn, the wind was a little cold, in the carriage, the tea was cooked by hand in October, and a pot of fragrant tea had just been brewed, and Zhiyun had not had time to drink it, so Ouyang slipped up.
"Why didn't you follow the emperor?"
"There are too many people who are courteous, so I won't join in the fun." Ouyang stuffed his feet under the leather mattress, rubbed his hands, picked up two plum blossom cakes from Zhiyun's food box, took two bites, and frowned: "It's too soft." ”
Zhiyun rolled her eyes, "As long as you are many, some of them are good to eat." "Departure in the morning, the kitchen is in a hurry, our food is not authentic, the two of them are picky, no one has eaten well, and they can still fill their stomachs on the road, or because of the intimacy of October.
Having said that, Zhiyun still handed over a puff pastry.
Ouyang ate a few bites, then leaned comfortably on the pillow, squinted his eyes and said: "This time it will take more than twenty days to make the autumn ceremony, and the Mulan enclosure is not allowed to enter the female family as usual, you can be careful in the camp, the sword in this place is not long-sighted, and it is the easiest to make a break, and I am not in front of me, if you let the family calculate, your reputation as an archmage will be ruined." ”
Zhiyun nodded helplessly, originally thought that she could hunt on horseback and have a good time, but she never thought that women were not allowed to enter the hunting place at all, of course, there was a precedent for a queen to hunt with her, but unfortunately, that was before, and Zhiyun's identity was far from the queen.
"If I knew this was the case, I might as well not come, and I couldn't go hunting with me, so what else was there to play?"
Ouyang smiled, lifted the curtain, and said with a smile: "Take a look, you come here, you won't lose ......"
Sure enough, there was an endless prairie outside.
The world is vast, and when people arrive here, they will unconsciously feel the insignificance of life and begin to learn to revere life......
Zhiyun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, along the way, there were many shadows and shadows, and others couldn't see clearly, but Zhiyun could see clearly even the height of the cattle and sheep, and whether the coat was bright or not, and his spirit couldn't help but lift his spirits, Zhiyun squinted his eyes and exhaled: "Prairie...... Ouyang, let's have time to go to Australia, that place is really beautiful, let's go catch a few kangaroos and come back......"
"Haven't you been?" Ouyang shuddered, remembering that when they were in Infinity before, their group went to Australia to do tasks and rented a private house to live in, the private house was really good, it was newly built, the decoration was warm and comfortable, and it was spacious, the melons and fruits in the courtyard were fragrant, and the flower garden was also very well maintained.
Zhiyun this girl was a newcomer at that time, still a child, it should be said that at that time, except for Ouyang and Xue Meng, who was a doctor, the whole team was full of children, it is rare that the task this time is simple, the big guy is not in a hurry, seeing the beautiful scenery, Du Le is crazy, Zhiyun ran on the prairie all day, and after coming back, he also shouted that he would retire in Australia in the future, and be accompanied by all kinds of cute little animals every day.
It's a pity, the imagination is beautiful, the reality is cruel, the first night, a large group of people did not sleep well, Zhiyun was scared and cried when he was suddenly flying out of the wasp when he took a bath, Ji Chen rushed to cook, but the dinner was not finished that day, because as soon as he entered the kitchen, before he had time to light the fire, there was a carrion of a possum on his head, Ji Chen, the child is most afraid of disgusting dirty things, every time he shoots, it has always been beautiful and frozen for thousands of miles, absolutely not stained with blood, this is good, disgusting He has been scared for several days, refused to eat, Ouyang persuaded him for a long time with coaxing, and then he could be considered relieved.
The next day, the big guys worked together, cleaned the house inside and out, and sealed the doors and windows and chimneys, which was barely able to live.
On that mission, a team of men and horses wandered in the prairie for two months, and from time to time they were used as toilets by birds and birds, or encountered black bears that made trouble, at that time everyone was young, and the means of fighting the enemy were limited, and it took a lot of effort to encounter some wild beasts.
Being reminded by Ouyang like this, Zhiyun also remembered the old things from a long time ago, although in any aspect, she was no longer what it used to be, but she still had palpitations, and blinked and said, "Well, how can there be a good place for us abroad, I'd better make do with it and walk around my own territory." ”
After walking in the carriage for more than an hour, the carriage stopped, arrived at the place where the camp was set up, got out of the car, Ouyang went to accompany the car, and Gao Fu stayed to help Zhiyun set up camp.
The tents and everything are all prepared by the Internal Affairs Office, and Zhiyun originally wanted to use his own tent, you know, the alchemy products on the floating city are now diversified, and there are portable military tents, the most high-end one, and the layout inside is not worse than the bedroom of Prince Yong's mansion. Zhiyun liked it very much, and she took several of the three models, both large and small, and usually threw them in the half-plane, so that there was no chance to show off, isn't it just a coincidence this time?
However, as soon as Zhiyun walked to the white tent, he saw a total of eight clothed flag soldiers, who stepped forward and saluted together: "Please Fujin Da'an." She was stunned, raised her eyebrows, and grinded her teeth secretly, in the end, she still didn't play tricks, everyone else was an ordinary tent, with the exception of her, it wasn't good-looking.
Seeing that his Fujin face was not very good, October and July didn't know why, they glanced at each other, quickly stuffed the reward money, and then helped Zhiyun into the tent.
As soon as I entered, I sat down on the embroidery pier, took a bowl of milk tea, and watched the two girls arrange neatly with their hands and feet, throwing a few fluffy pillows on the low floor for a while, laying bright tablecloths on the low table for a while, and pots and pans purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, each of which was scalded with hot water, and disinfected with disinfectant.
It took more than half an hour to toss the entire tent into the eyes of the two of them. October nodded with satisfaction, walked over and waited for Zhiyun to change into homemade cotton slippers, lie down on the low floor, and July also came over to rub her shoulders and legs. After a while, Zhiyun fell asleep comfortably.
In the evening, Zhiyun became energetic, took Ouyang's hand and walked around the prairie a little, ate a few pieces of the most authentic Mongolian roast mutton, and then went back to the half-level to soak in a medicinal bath, and then fell asleep.
The next day, Ouyang went to participate in the hunt, Zhiyun didn't plan to wander alone, but just pulled the two girls to read, and occasionally gave them a few words, the two girls are now very qualified magic apprentices, and the general low-level magic makes them relatively proficient, but the ancient people have limited knowledge after all, and they always can't understand magic well, and it is unlikely to expect them to go further.
On the third day, Zhiyun was still nested in the tent, but in July and October, he only told them to be careful, not to enter the hunting area, and to let the two girls play, but before the two girls went out for a while, Li Dequan and Li Gonggong came over to announce the decree - "Eighty strings of large coral beads, one side of the big mirror, ten pairs of Qixiu amber, four collars of woven gold velvet blankets, ten bird feather satins, a gold self-striking bell, and a jade-inlaid gemstone Ruyi ......"
Zhiyun listened to a series of rewards, and was confused for a while, this is only the second day of hunting, what is wrong with Kangxi? Moreover, Li Dequan's face is not good-looking, and even a little sad.
Raising his eyebrows, Zhiyun hurriedly stuffed Li Dequan with a purse, Li Dequan didn't refuse, just sighed and said, "Fujin, the fourth prince was injured in the paddock...... Long live the summons, you hurry up and go over with the miscellaneous family. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhiyun's head was suddenly stunned, injured? Who? Own big *OSS, the archmage who is said to have stepped into the legendary realm for more than ten years? How could he have been injured?
Dizzy by a series of question marks, Zhiyun still suppressed her doubts, changed her clothes, and left the tent after Li Dequan.
