Chapter 019 Goose Hunting on the Outskirts of the City

Time flies, summer is gradually coming to an end, and autumn is coming.

The autumn harvest also arrived.

Immediately the official family, the imperial pole for nearly 40 years, the year name changed and changed, but during the reign, more benevolent government, light and meager endowment, in the court and the opposition, the prestige is quite high, and now although it is old, not as good as the young name, but benevolent and generous but as in the past.

It's just that several princes died one after another, which hit Emperor Jiayou quite hard, and the ministers of the court and the central government always mentioned that the prince was vacant, and persuaded him to pass the virtuous people from the clan to calm people's hearts and stabilize the dynasty, which was tantamount to sprinkling salt on Emperor Jiayou's wounds, so that Emperor Jiayou remembered the newly mourned prince, as well as those princes who died early.

In addition to being the emperor, Emperor Jiayou is also a father, and the emperor is also a human!

Although he was sad in his heart, Emperor Jiayou had not yet reached the point where he was deaf and caused the court to be eroded, and he became a faint monarch from a bright monarch and a virtuous monarch.

Although today, the plagues of green forest bandits and water fish thieves are still emerging in an endless stream, and they are inexhaustible, but there are no such bandits and giants who have captured the state capital, coerced the people, and ravaged the localities, and the world has generally survived.

Although the exploitation of the people by the officials at the bottom has never been less, it has been much better than the previous dynasties.

Under the rule of the feudal dynasty, no matter which dynasty or generation, the common people of China have always been the easiest to satisfy, and their requirements are just enough to eat and clothe themselves and their families to live.

Therefore, every time the harvest season is the happiest time of the year for the people, even happier than the New Year.

The satisfaction of retrieving the grain from the ground by hand, going through many processes, and then hiding it in the barn to eat the first meal of the newly harvested grain is incomparable.

The arrival of autumn also indicates that the yamen similar to the household department and the three divisions in the DPRK and China are about to enter the busiest time.

The collection and transportation of autumn grain, the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops outside Tokyo......

Wang Chong's secret pavilion revision was idle, because Emperor Jiayou's eyes were all on major events involving the country, such as the autumn harvest, so naturally there was no time to call Wang Chong for a small revision.

Wang Chong was also happy to be idle, and from time to time he went to Zhuangzi to teach Minglan to ride and shoot fists and feet and the way of Qihuang.

I don't know if it was affected by the fact that her biological mother was almost killed by Lin Yushuang, Minglan somehow took the initiative to ask Wang Chong if she had the talent to study medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed a talent, in addition to a good memory, but also have a strong ability to understand, the prescription in the monarch and the left envoy, is not immutable, but according to the patient's physical condition, the environment and the cause of the disease, etc.

Don't say that it is a few different medicines, that is, the same prescription, a certain medicinal material is missing two catties, and the efficacy may be far from the same.

However, Minglan 's talent is acceptable, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to become a famous doctor, but if you are willing to work hard, it is not impossible.

Autumn is coming, and the northern geese are returning to the south, which is the hunting season.

On this day, Wang Chong came straight to the Sheng family, and now Wang Chong is half of the Sheng family's aunt, so naturally he doesn't have to send a worship post in advance as before.

However, Wang Zhong still went to wait for Sheng Hong, and followed Sheng Hong back to Sheng's house.

As soon as he arrived at Sheng's house, Sheng Hong led Wang Zhong to Shou'an Hall to meet Mrs. Sheng, just in time for the school to get out of class, Minglan came back from the school with a bookcase of Xiao Tao, and the two sides met at the gate of Shou'an Hall.

"The daughter has seen her father!" Minglan hurriedly saluted Sheng Hongfu, and greeted Wang Chong with a smile: "Brother Wang Chong is good!"

"Sixth sister, this is just out of class?" Wang Chong asked with a smile.

"I really just got out of class!" Minglan replied with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, several people also entered Shou'an Hall, and after greeting Mrs. Sheng, Wang Chong went straight to find Changbai.

Although they have now made a marriage with Minglan , the two are still only married, and they have not become married, so they still have to have the rules.

"Oh? Little Grandpa Qi is also there

?」 Seeing Qi Heng, Wang Chong was not too surprised.

This proud son of heaven who was born in the Duke of Qi was a student of Zhuang Xuexue, and knew that Zhuang Xuexue came to the Sheng Family School in order to save his mother's kindness, and after teaching several Changbai brothers and sisters, he begged his father Qi Guogong to come to the door in person, so that he could enter the Sheng Family School and continue to study under Zhuang Xuexue.

After getting along for a long time, and the Sheng family brothers slowly got acquainted with each other, this little grandfather naturally knew which one was worth befriending, so he often looked for Changbai to communicate after class, especially after knowing that Changbai and Wang Chong were intersecting, the number of times he came to Changbai was more frequent.

After all, the aura on Wang Chong's body is too dazzling, the eighteen-year-old new champion, the dynasty has not been, Qi Heng has been smart since he was a child, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he boasts that he is not weaker than others, how can he not be curious when he meets such a genius as Wang Chong.

"Brother Zihou can call the younger brother to express the words, there is no need to be so polite!" Qi Heng arched his hand, his eyes were a little warm, although he didn't communicate much with Wang Chong, but Wang Chong's profound knowledge really made Qi Heng feel ashamed.

Wang Chong smiled and arched his hand, "Yuan Ruo!"

Qi Heng immediately showed a smile on his face and replied, "Brother Zihou"

"Why is Zihou here?" Changbai interrupted the politeness of the two.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "And this autumn is refreshing, coinciding with the return of the northern wild goose to the south, I watch the sky at night, the weather should be good in the next few days, just tomorrow to rest, I specially invite Zecheng to go out of the city to hunt geese!"

"Out of the city to hunt geese?" Before Changbai could answer, Qi Heng next to him spoke first, his expression and tone were full of curiosity.

The wild geese fly south, soaring high in the sky, but it is not so easy to hunt, let alone shoot with an ordinary hunting bow, and it is a little difficult to even shoot to the height where the wild goose is.

"But over there?" Changbai hesitated.

Wang Chong stepped forward and patted Zecheng's shoulder, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, Zhuang Xuexue's side, I'll say it!"

Changbai looked at Wang Chong and asked, "Can I say no?"

"Hahaha! No!" Wang Zhong laughed.

Changbai shook his head helplessly.

Qi Heng next to him looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and when Changbai saw this, he couldn't help asking, "If Yuan has anything to say, just say it!"

Qi Heng glanced at Wang Chong and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Wang Chong said: "There are many people to be lively, if Yuan Ruo is willing to go out of the city with me and Zecheng to hunt geese?"

Changbai also chimed in: "What Zihou said is that there are more people and it is indeed more lively!"

"That being the case, then Qi Heng might as well be respectful and obey his orders!" Qi Heng arched his hand and smiled.

Wang Chong immediately beckoned the sweat cow to come over, explained to the sweat cow, and then said, "Let's go to Zhuang Xue together later!" After all these days of studying, it's time to take a break!"

Qi Heng looked at the two of them in disbelief: "Can this work?"

"If you don't worry, this method will be tried!" Wang Zhong said confidently.

After a short time, the sweat cow came back and said that everything was ready, and Wang Chong went straight out of the door.

Qi Heng looked at Changbai with surprise in his eyes.

Zhuang Xuezhi is actually very interesting, very knowledgeable, but not pedantic, no shelf, likes food, good appetite, especially loves to eat crystal elbow, braised pork, and has no resistance to these fatty but not greasy things.

An old pedant in his fifties, over half a hundred years old, actually likes to eat these things, and I have to say that this hobby is indeed different from others.

Wang Chong entered the kitchen, put on his apron, and the cook next to him put the prepared and cleaned fine pork belly on the eucalyptus, and watched Wang Chong handle it.

Crystal elbows are time-consuming and laborious to make, and they can't be done in a moment, so Wang Zhong can only make braised pork.

Although the pork belly method is simple, the ingredients and heat are extremely particular, and some subtle differences may lead to changes in taste, but for Wang Chong, these are not problems.

After everything was ready, he instructed the cook to simmer carefully, and Wang Chong went to the side to prepare other dishes.

Zhuang pedantic though

Saying that he likes meat the most, but he also likes simple vegetarian dishes, Wang Chong then made a stir-fried bean sprouts, stewed tofu with ham, shallot-preserved eggs mixed with tender tofu, and prepared a crucian carp tofu soup.

When Shen Zheng arrived, Wang Zhong took a few female envoys with a variety of dishes to Zhuang Xue's residence.

Before you even enter the door, the aroma of the food has already entered the house.

Lao Yu's nose is generally more sensitive, Zhuang Xuexue is naturally no exception, Wang Chong with a few female envoys are still outside the house, Zhuang Xuexue smelled the fragrance of the dish, immediately his eyes lit up, he didn't care about anything else, walked quickly to the door, and when he saw Wang Chong, who was smiling and walking towards him, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"I said how the magpies outside the window are always chirping today, but it turns out that a distinguished guest has come to the door!" Zhuang Xuezhi does not have any Confucian baggage, that is, in the classroom, although he is not too strict, he is not too harsh on the students.

Although Wang Chong's age is a lot worse than Zhuang Xuexue, his talent and temperament are recognized by Zhuang Xuexue, especially his hobby of food, Wang Chong is not only delicious, but also easy to do, cook by himself, and do not stick to the words of the so-called sage, which is what Zhuang Xuexue likes most about Wang Chong.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Yesterday, I got a few pots of old flowers sent by Jiaxing, which are very mellow, and I came to drink them with the pedants!"

"Aged flowers?" Zhuang Xuexue's eyes brightened, and he couldn't wait to pull Wang Chong into the house, and the female envoys arranged the dishes, put the two jars of aged flowers brought by Wang Chong on the eucalyptus next to them, and sold two pots first.

Zhuang Xuexue had just picked up a piece of fat and thin braised pork and put it into his mouth, and was chewing slowly with his eyes closed, enjoying the delicious taste of the braised pork, Wang Zhong had already carried the wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of Zhuang Xuexue.

Seeing Zhuang Xue open his eyes, Wang Chongli raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "If the food is missing the wine, then it will be like a BMW without a saddle, and the calligrapher without pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wouldn't it be a pity!"

"That's right!" Zhuang pedant.

Wang Zhong then said, "Scholar, come, the junior will toast you first!"

Zhuang Xuezhi didn't raise his glass for the first time, but looked at Wang Chong: "What kind of fancy intestines are you holding in your belly?"

Wang Chong immediately frowned, and looked at Zhuang Xuexue in disbelief: "I illuminate the moon with my Dan heart, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" In the eyes of pedants, am I such a person?"

Zhuang Xuezhu raised his wine glass, touched a glass with Wang Chongxu, and said, "Last time, you invited me to drink, because you fell in love with my handwriting of Mr. Chenghang, what did you like me this time?"

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Among the four, he is the only one who has gained except Wang Chong.

Seeing Qi Heng pass the wild goose through his chest with an arrow, Changfeng's heart was full of envy!

Qi Heng's scholar didn't want to carry the wild goose shot by Qi Heng, and ran back to Qi Heng with a smile on his face, Qi Heng looked at the three geese that Yu Chu was carrying in the second hand, all of which were arrows in the wings, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yuan Ruo is good at archery!" Wang Zhong praised.

"It's still not as thick as Zihou!" Qi Heng arched his hand.

"Little grandpa don't be depressed!" Chang Feng next to him comforted: "Zihou has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is skilled in bows and horses, even the second brother Gu is not his opponent, let alone us!"

Qi Heng smiled and didn't say anything!

Wang Chong said loudly: "The geese are rare, let's go and hunt a few pheasants and hares, how about a tooth sacrifice!"

Changbai bowed slightly: "Very good!"

Changfeng also smiled and said, "Okay! It's just right to try Brother Zihou's craftsmanship!"

Qi Heng naturally had no opinion.

Although it is not easy to shoot rabbits, it is much simpler than geese, without him, after the arrow is lost in the air, affected by many factors such as air resistance, its own gravity and wind power, the changes are too great, and it is much easier to hit the rabbit on the ground.

Wang Chong's eyesight is superb, and his archery skills are superb, and after a while, a fat gray rabbit was nailed to the ground with an arrow.

Not to be outdone, Qi Heng searched around seriously, and his luck was also very good, and it didn't take long for him to beat a rabbit, and his face looked a little better.

The four of them gathered on the edge of the woods, and the little guy of Sweat Niu and Changfeng had already dug a small cave under the command of Yu Chuer.

By the river, Qi Heng watched Wang Zhong pull out the short knife, his movements were skillful, and in a moment, he skinned the two rabbits, disemboweled, and then pickled them and hung them in the freshly dug earthen kiln to roast them.

When the fragrant roast rabbit meat was taken out of the kiln by Yu Chuer, it was divided by Wang Chong's fast knife and divided equally among everyone, and the wine and fruits brought here were regarded as lunch.

However, a hunt completely refreshed Qi Heng's perception of Wang Chong.

In the eyes of Qi Heng in the past, Wang Chong, an eighteen-year-old new champion, a well-known talent, must be a scholar who does not eat fireworks in the world, does not listen to things outside the window, and only reads the books of sages.

But today's line of work has completely subverted Qi Heng's perception of Wang Chong.

But because of this, it aroused Qi Heng's interest in Wang Chong.

Qi Heng this person from childhood to adulthood, no matter what he does, he has to strive to do his best, he learned calligraphy, after the initial results, and went to learn painting, piano, learn to play chess, but whenever he is interested, he is willing to work hard to learn, and they have learned to be famous, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and horseback archery is also very neat.

Those noble sons and daughters in Tokyo who are from the same background as Qi Heng are either through grace or donation, but Qi Heng has such a top family background as the Qi State Mansion, his father is a member of the three grades in the court, in charge of salt affairs, although the official rank is not the highest, but he has real power in his hands, and his mother is the lord of Pingning, which is regarded as a daughter by today's officials and queens, and is often called into the palace to speak.

is such a top family background, if Qi Heng wants to enter the office, he doesn't even need his mother and Emperor Jiayou to speak, his father only needs to hand it over, and most of his positions are waiting for Qi Heng to choose.

But this little grandfather Qi didn't take a good shortcut, he had to take the road of the imperial examination, at a young age, he had already won the show, and his literary talent was very outstanding.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his high background that he developed such a strong temperament as Qi Heng.

Knowing that Wang Chong and Changbai were on good terms, Qi Heng would follow Changbai to the study to discuss the things taught by Zhuang Xue in the half-day day, but unfortunately Wang Chong still had to take care of the students in the village, and only occasionally went to Changbai.

Even so, as time went by, they saw each other more often, and Wang Chong and Qi Heng gradually became familiar with each other.

Although Wang Zhong is cautious in his words and deeds in the officialdom, when he is with his friends on weekdays, he is still quite casual, and he is a little free and uninhibited

Relax and feel the slightest pressure.

Moreover, Wang Chong is knowledgeable and has unique insights, and many times, some problems that plague Qi Heng and Changbai can be easily solved when Wang Chong comes here.

Young and talented, both civil and military, famous all over the world, but free and easy-going, even Qi Heng couldn't help but admire, and naturally became more and more attentive.

The New Year is approaching, and on this day, Wang Chong prepared enough New Year's gifts in advance and went to Sheng's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Since he went to the Sheng family, he naturally inevitably visited Mrs. Sheng.

I didn't think of Shou'antang, I didn't see Minglan after asking, it turned out that after a heavy snowfall the night before, Xiao Changdong suddenly fell ill, Minglan was worried about her brother's body, and stayed by the bedside to take care of it day and night, and then she also fell ill.

"I've invited the imperial doctor to come to the house to take a look, I've used medicine, and I'm getting better, and the sixth girl and the seventh brother are sleeping in the back room right now!" Mama Fang, who was beside Mrs. Sheng, explained to Wang Chong.

"I'll take a look!" Wang Zhong said with some worry.

Old Lady Sheng knew that Wang Chong's medical skills were exquisite, so she instructed Mama Fang, "Go and take the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Zhang to Zihou and take a look!"

Mama Fang immediately received the order and ordered someone to get the prescription, while she helped Mrs. Sheng and followed Wang Zhong into the inner room.

Minglan and Changdong didn't sleep together originally, but after Changdong fell ill, Minglan had to insist on staying by Changdong's side to take care of her, so Mrs. Sheng ordered someone to add a bed in the house to accommodate Minglan.

Wang Chong first looked at the younger Changdong, the little guy's little face was a little less flush than in the past, and his lips were faintly white, thinking that he had been asleep for a long time and did not take the initiative to eat.

Cuiliu, the first-class female envoy beside Changdong, got the order of Mrs. Sheng, and gently took Changdong's little hand out of the tucked quilt and put it on the pulse pillow.

After Wang Chonghao crossed the pulse, he checked Xiao Changdong's mouth, tongue and palate again, touched his forehead and other places, and nodded after reading the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Zhang.

After confirming that it was not the flu, Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief, if it was the flu, the first person in Shou'an Hall to be recruited was probably Mrs. Sheng, after all, the old man was pampered all the year round, and his body was comparable to those female envoys who worked all year round.

"Brother Dong'er's condition is not serious, this Imperial Doctor Zhang has very high medical skills, and he is very careful with his medication, just take the medicine according to the prescription!"

Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh after reading the prescription, these ancient imperial doctors were still very level, they were very cautious in using medicine, and they were very thoughtful, Changdong was too young, and he had to be more cautious in his medication.

I looked at Minglan again, and there was really no big problem.

Back in the main hall, Wang Chong arched his hand to Mrs. Sheng and said, "Old lady, why don't you wait for the sixth sister to get better another day, and let her learn some kung fu to strengthen her body with me!" I don't want her to fight against others, I just want to be able to strengthen my body and have fewer diseases!"

"This ·······" Old Mrs. Sheng hesitated for a moment, although she had some scruples about the difference between men and women, but when she remembered Minglan and Changdong's sick appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "That's fine, you have also set up a marriage, but you still have to pay attention to the places that should be paid attention to!"

Wang Chong arched his hand and smiled: "This is natural, after the sixth sister is well, I will come over a few times every few days to teach her some fist and foot sword dance in the courtyard, if you are interested, the younger generation can also point you to Tai Chi and Baduan Jin."

"Minglan and Changdong are still young, and they will have to rely on your blessing in the future, so you have to take care of your body!" Without waiting for the old lady to say anything, Wang Chong immediately gave the reason.

Mrs. Sheng is not an unreasonable person, just let a junior guide herself, a little unable to let go of her face, Wang Chong asked Changbai to teach the old lady Taijiquan and Baduanjin, but the grandparents and grandchildren couldn't pull their faces to ask their grandchildren, and the other was in their grandmother, which was somewhat restrained, so it was delayed.

But Mrs. Sheng also understood what Wang Zhong said, she was Minglan and Changdong's backer in this family, if she fell, Minglan and Changdong's good life would come to an end.

"Okay!"
