Chapter 57: The Chow Chow
"Brother-in-law, aren't they together anymore?"
After talking to Hua Shaoying, Situ Xi returned to Zhong Limo's side, and Hua Shaoying then took Chaoyun and Chaoyue to say goodbye and walked to the west of Nanshan.
"They have some other business, let's go to the manor first, there seems to be someone waiting ahead."
The entrance to the manor in front of them was a flat road paved with stones, and there were already a number of stewards and subordinates waiting for them in front of the door.
After Steward Chen handed over to the steward, Situ Xi and the others were also surrounded and welcomed into the manor.
This manor on the edge of the ranch is not like the gardens in Xuan'an City, with many pavilions and pavilions, but it is open and flat, with only a few bungalow courtyards.
In the center of the manor is a platform on which a large drum with a vermilion border is placed, and arrows can be seen scattered throughout the garden.
"Young Master Mo, in the morning, the old slave specially ordered the cooks to slaughter cattle and cook sheep, and now that the banquet here has been prepared, do you think it is appropriate to start the banquet?" The old servant of the manor's steward came to Zhong Limo and asked him for the time of lunch.
"It's good, let's eat at the moment, there is something to do in a while, hurry up!"
Hearing that there was fresh beef and mutton to eat, Zhong Limo's eyes lit up, he didn't have the opportunity to eat and drink at home, the Li family himself only ate vegetarian food, and Zhong Limo also ate with his mother on weekdays.
"獢獢 (xiāo)! Wait, this king! Otter! A hurried shout came from behind everyone, and Situ Xi immediately looked back, and a yellow-brown figure suddenly flew towards them, and he was about to fall in front of him.
didn't have time to think about it, Situ Xi subconsciously grabbed Zhong Lixuan and whispered beside him, and gently pulled them away from a position, so as to avoid the burly "beast".
"Young Master!" One of the attendants beside Zhong Limo reacted extremely quickly, and came to Zhong Limo's side in an instant, but he was immediately thrown to the ground by the yellow-brown "beast", and the people around him were a little flustered for a while.
"Ahh Help! Zhong Limo was also a little frightened, but he quickly came to his senses and beckoned the people around him to help the attendant who fell to the ground.
It turned out to be a Chow Chow, Situ Xi also saw the true appearance of this "beast" at this time, its hair is dense and long, and its body is tall and majestic among dogs, and it looks extremely domineering.
"The furry is eager to descend the beasts, and the hook claw forest also lists five needles. Luan Fengteng has fairy bones, and he has a Zen heart with cunning scissors. ”
The description in this poem is very apt.
The Chow Chow had no ill intentions, it threw the squire down and rubbed its head against his cheek.
Situ Xi no longer looked at the chow chow on the ground, he turned his head to look at the person who had just shouted.
People who walk dogs without leashes, he has always been extremely disgusted.
"Badger! This king's lost bow is not there, why do you always ignore this king! ”
The person who came was a handsome young man in a red regular robe, who should be a few years older than Zhong Limo, he wore a jade belt around his waist, and the side of the red robe was embroidered with a golden dragon pattern.
"Eh, Brother Mo, you're here, Brother Shen Yan just told me about you."
"See His Royal Highness King Geng!" When Zhong Limo saw the comer, he immediately bowed to him, and everyone present also followed suit.
"Brother Mo, it's not in the palace, why are you so polite when you go out to play?" Geng Wang Zuo Ming stepped forward and helped Zhong Limo up.
"Your Highness, your dog is very scary, it's better to find someone to take care of it next time." Zhongli's ink eyes were resentful.
"It's docile and doesn't hurt people, but it's a little stupid." Zuo Mingli was also a little embarrassed, his Chow Chow had been disgusted with him recently, so he didn't play with him, and now he ran away when he saw him.
"Your Highness, let me introduce you, this is my brother-in-law, you should have heard of it." Zhongli Mo pulled Situ Xi and introduced to Zuo Mingli.
"Oh? Are you Brother Situ? When Zuo Mingli heard Zhong Limo's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face was happy, and he began to look at Situ Xi up and down.
"Situ Xi has seen His Highness." Situ Xi bowed his hand to him again.
And Zuo Mingli directly reached out and pressed Situ Xi's hands on his chest, and then he grabbed Situ Xi's shoulders again.
"Brother Situ, this king can be regarded as waiting for you to come, I heard that you don't know how to shoot? It doesn't matter, I'll teach you by the king himself when you're done at lunch, but when you learn it, you'll have to have a good discussion with the king. ”
Seeing his reaction like this, Situ Xi was a little puzzled, how could this King Geng see that he behaved so kindly.
"Thank you for your kindness."
"That's not going to work! Brother-in-law, you said that you want me to teach you. When Zhong Limo heard Zuo Mingli's words, he immediately walked between the two and separated the two, and then objected: "Your Highness, don't blame me for being abrupt, you are at the bottom of the spring hunt every year, remember that you lost to the five-year-old child of the Right Xiang family in archery." ”
"Ahem, Brother Mo, it was an accident last year, and today is not the same as before!" Zuo Mingli heard Zhong Limo expose his shortcomings, he was not annoyed, and a trace of mystery suddenly appeared on his face, "In this way, let's compete together in the afternoon, and you will know when the time comes." ”
"Yo, Brother Situ and Brother Mo, they've all arrived!" Under the gate of the manor, Zuo Shenyan walked in with a colorful bow ball in his hand at this time, "Your Highness, if you want to tease the dog, why don't you change the way for a while, your roe deer doesn't seem to like Keju very much, after you and I kicked the ball out this morning, almost all of them were picked up by my servant." ”
"Brother Shen Yan, what other way is there, the ree is reluctant to participate in dog fighting, and it doesn't run much when I take it to hunt, so it can run for a while when I chase it."
Zuo Mingli is also very distressed, his dog had a few days ago, the imperial doctor said that he should take it to move more recently, but it doesn't seem to be very interested in the previous playthings recently, Zuo Mingli even tried to take it to bow, it still looks lazy.
"Have you ever played frisbee with it?" Situ Xi squatted and stroked the hair of the chow chow, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he suddenly interjected.
In his previous life, he had often seen people training such large dogs with dog training frisbees, and he felt that the effect should be good.
"Frisbee? What is Frisbee? The people around them were stunned, they had never heard of such a thing.
Situ Xi's movements in his hands also flickered, ah, it seems that he said the wrong thing.
"It's a thin disc that can be thrown far away, Your Highness can let the deer try it, maybe it will like it."
"Oh? That's a good idea! It sounds interesting, but the plate probably can't be thrown far, and the king still hopes that the roe will run a little more. ”
"Is there a skilled carpenter in this Nanshan?"
