Send a deer

Dongfu got up early in the morning and wanted to go to the village to see the roe deer. It was caught yesterday when it was dark, and it was not clear in the dark night. At that moment, he said a word to the master, and ran down the mountain in high spirits.

The countrymen got up early, Dongfu went to Debaoding's house, and the blacksmith Zhang had already skinned and plucked the rabbits and pheasants he had hunted, made them clean, and hung them all in the yard.

Sister-in-law Zhang washed the colorful and beautiful long feathers removed from the pheasant's tail with water on the side, combed them and placed them in a dustpan. These long feathers can be inserted into children's hats during the New Year's holidays, which is very beautiful.

The two saw Dongfu coming. Hurriedly greeted.

At a glance, Dongfu saw two roe deer tied to the northwest corner of the courtyard. In front of the roe deer was a pile of tender grass that had just been pulled back. The big roe deer was lying on the ground, nearly a meter long, about 30 catties, his eyes were blank and listless. The little roe deer is still lively, with two pointed ears and a pair of large, bright eyes. A body of brown and white fine hair, extremely bright and smooth. Seeing Dongfu slowly approaching, he stepped back, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

Sister-in-law Zhang brought out a big bowl of steaming pheasant soup, thinking that she had boiled the chicken head and chicken feet and the unformed eggs in the pheasant belly, which tasted very delicious and different from the roasted. Dongfu was also polite and drank it in a big gulp.

Sister-in-law Zhang said again: "Baoding went to call Cuicui early in the morning, and wanted to show off the roe deer he caught." As he was talking, Bao Ding and Cuicui came over laughing.

Cuicui entered the courtyard and greeted the blacksmith couple, and when she saw the two roe deer, she immediately cried out happily: "Oh, it's so beautiful." When the two roe deer saw her coming, they were so startled that even the big roe deer lying on the ground jumped up.

Dongfu smiled: "Cuicui, it's less daring than you, don't frighten it!" ”

Cuicui didn't dare to approach again, for fear of scaring the roe deer again, stood for a while, and said: "This little one is so cute, if there is a big garden, it must be raised well." ”

Dongfu suddenly thought about it, and remembered that Xing'er asked him to catch the rabbit. Wouldn't it be better if he gave this little roe deer to the ginseng flower? The thought of going to see the ginseng flower immediately became excited.

When he was hunting and chatting, he told Bao Ding about the chance encounter in the back mountain, and immediately told Bao Ding his thoughts, and Bao Ding of course agreed. Dongfu sent something to the girl he met for the first time, and when he saw the dress, words and deeds of the scattered ginseng flowers, he knew that he must be a rich person who is not expensive. I thought of going to the door alone, but I was too timid to ask Baoding to accompany me. As soon as Cuicui heard that she was going to town, she yelled that she wanted to go with her. How can the two of them not follow.

At that moment, the three of them packed up. Bao Ding bent down and carried the little roe deer on his back. Cuicui only knew that she was going to send the roe deer to a young lady whom Dongfu knew, but it was a girl's heart, and she took many beautiful pheasant tail feathers from the dustpan and brought them, and the three of them went to the town.

The blacksmith and his wife only said that the three of them were going to sell the little roe deer. Leave them alone, toss them around.

The town of Ninghai is only a few miles away from the village, and it will not be long before you arrive. The town is not too lively. On both sides of the bluestone road, there are some rice shops, embroidery and spinning tea houses, restaurants and the like, and there are not many people, but Baoding carries the little deer on his back, which attracts many people to be curious and stop to watch.

But all large families, as long as there are female dependents, always make some colorful clothes and embroidered shoes. Although Dongfu didn't know where Sanfu was in the town, he just asked Cuicui to ask about Xiufang, and he knew that Sanfu was located in the southeast of the town. When I got to the southeast, I passed through the alley, and sure enough, I saw a big mansion with a vermilion lacquer gate. On the door hung a flat forehead "scattered house".

When he arrived at the door, Dongfu didn't dare to knock on the door. He had never dealt with such a large family, and he was only worried that if he knocked on the door, the servant would ask what he wanted, but he didn't know how to answer. It is reckless to say that it is reckless to give a roe deer to a young lady, and it is always not good. Bao Ding and Cuicuibian Ginseng Flower have never seen each other, and they don't know what to say. For a moment, the three of them stood in front of the door and hesitated, not daring to enter.

At this moment, I only heard the side door "squeak" open, and out of two little girls in red dresses, Dongfu's eyes lit up, but when he looked closely, there were no apricots in the middle, and he couldn't help but be disappointed. I didn't want to hear someone in the door shouting outside the door: "Mei'er, you remember to bring me a pair of crested shoes." Dongfu recognized this voice, was overjoyed, and shouted: "Apricot! His sudden loud cry startled the two little girls, and they both raised their heads and looked at the three of them in astonishment.

The door squeaked open again. poked out a white face, and sure enough, it was an apricot. also wore a red dress. Seeing that it was Dongfu, he immediately jumped out and grinned: "It turned out to be you!" The young lady talked to her husband yesterday, and she said that she wanted to go to the temple to offer incense. Then he saw the roe deer that Bao Ding was carrying, and laughed and said, "Can't you catch a beautiful rabbit, so you caught a roe deer to compensate us?" Come on in. ”

Dongfu and the three followed Cuicui and entered the door. This small door opens from the main courtyard to a small cloister. When I entered the courtyard, I heard the sound of ding dong dong water, and saw that there was a rockery in the yard, and the mountains and rocks were craggy, and there was water gurgling down, dripping on the stones, jingling. On both sides of the rockery, some osmanthus pomegranates and ginkgo biloba are planted. Facing the courtyard, there is a large hall with several wings on both sides. Cuicui led them down the verandah to a vaulted carved garden door, which was covered with morning glories. The three of them passed through this small door, but it was a world again. The shadows of the trees in the park are quiet. In the middle, there is a clean courtyard that connects on both sides, and there are stone benches and stone tables in the courtyard for rest. There are cloisters on both sides of the courtyard. There are several quiet and elegant houses behind the cloister, with pink and white walls, vermilion painted window lattices, against the backdrop of green trees in the courtyard, it does not show the atmosphere of wealth and nobility, but is inexhaustible comfort and leisure.

Xing'er led the three of them to the courtyard and said, "You guys sit down for a while, and I'll tell Miss." The three of them sat down together on the stone table in the courtyard. Bao Ding put the little roe deer down and pulled it with his hand, for fear that it would run away in fright.

After a while, Xing'er and Sanshenhua walked in quickly from another door in the courtyard, Sansanhua wore a purple skirt and held the sword in her hand, thinking that she was practicing swords in the garden. A pink face is slightly red, which adds a bit of pretty.

When Dongfu and the three of them saw her coming, they all stood up. Scattered ginseng flower arrived in front of him and said, "What a beautiful little roe deer! Reaching out to gently stroke its hair, the little roe deer thought that he had been frightened all the way, but he didn't dodge until the hand of the ginseng flower touched it, and then he jumped and bounced away.

Seeing this, the four of them laughed together.
