The New Year is approaching, An Xin wants to send something to them for the year's gift, thanking the two elders for taking care of them after coming to the capital.

After thinking about it, the two elders were very fond of game, so An Xin decided to go out of the city to go around the mountains.

An Xin proposed that he wanted to go hunting, which made An Rui and Liu Boxing, who had been at home for a long time, very happy.

The next day, it was just dawning.

A group of them didn't care that there were still snowflakes in the sky, so Liu Boxing took his own mountain chief and a few senior brothers to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of his house.

I'm going to stay there for a few days and go hunting in the mountains.

Out of the city, Liu Boxing and An Rui, Jiang Zhou and Zhu Shijing began to spread joy and rode out on horseback.

An Xin looked at Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai left and right, "Let's go, we will be left behind by them in a while, and we won't be able to find where the Liu family's Zhuangzi is when the time comes." ”

Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai, one cold, the other indifferent, the two glanced at each other.

At the same time, he raised his whip and whipped it behind the horse's buttocks, and the horse under him shot out like an arrow off the string, and a snowflake splashed under the horse's hooves.

"Stinky boy, the snow has splashed on me."

An Xin also chased after him, and the royal blue cloak on his body, like butterfly wings, was blown up by the wind and fluttered behind him.

In the open field, there was only a pile of snow, and the sound of horses' hooves running, startling the crows in the dead trees and the sparrows foraging in the snow.

Before noon, An Xin and his group, led by Liu Boxing, came to his family's grange in the suburbs.

Zhuangzi is not big, only more than 100 acres of land.

Zhuang Tou heard someone report and hurried out.

Seeing An Xin riding on the horse, they were stunned, and stepped forward with a somewhat unnatural face, and asked, "Where did you come from, I don't know what happened here?" ”

An Xin saw Zhuang Tou's face with long eyes and small eyes, and his expression was cunning, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Except for the big-hearted An Rui and Liu Boxing, the others all saw a trace of panic in Zhuangtou's expression.

The reason why Zhuang Tou was a little flustered was that he had also heard the news that the grandson of the Liu family had returned to Beijing.

It's just that Liu Boxing and General Liu have not been there, and when they are the people who manage the Grange in the past, the head of the village thinks that General Liu's grandson is just coming back to have something to do, and he will leave after finishing his work.

He, a slave whose master is far away, can still be the emperor of the soil in the Zhuangzi, greedy for the harvest in the Zhuangzi, and live a free and happy life.

"The housekeeper, the wine and food are all served to the table, and it will be cold if you don't come back to eat, and you are still there with a few people passing by. Ink what. ”

Just when Liu Boxing wanted to say that he, the master, was going to come to this Zhuangzi and stay for a few days.

A woman who walked out of Zhuangzi with her hands in her rabbit fur sleeves, as if she was the wife of the house, stood on the stairs at the door, shouting to Zhuangtou to go back for lunch.

An Xin smiled indifferently, and in front of Liu Boxing, he said: "This uncle in charge, we are the ones who will participate in the scientific examination next year.

I thought of worshipping a master in the capital, and I didn't know what New Year's gift to give, so I wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some mountain delicacies and give them to the adults I wanted to visit. ”

Liu Boxing glanced at his own mountain chief in surprise, but he was not stupid in the end, he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the grange left to him by his mother.

The others were even more Mingrui, and after An Xin said this, they all chose to remain silent, cooperating with their own mountain chief, and making a polite and polite reader.

An Xin smiled kindly and continued to exclaim: "When I first came here, I wanted to spend money here to find a place to stay for a few days, and when we got enough wild meat for gifts, we would leave." ”

Zhuang Tou looked at it with his eyes and saw that they did have calluses left by scholars practicing calligraphy.

With a hunting knife and a bow and arrows, and the clothes he wears are also very good, he should be a scholar from a wealthy family in other places.

Come to Beijing in advance to participate in the entrance examination at the beginning of next spring.

It's nothing to do, want to hunt and give away.

It's cold and snowy, and it's a shame that they can think of it.

Zhuang Tou thought that the sons of these rich families were generous, and the silver they rewarded was more than the harvest he was greedy for ink on this barren Zhuangzi, I don't know how many times more.

When An Xin saw Zhuang Tou's face, he knew that he was already moved, so he was not stingy and threw him a silver ingot.

"This is the cost of our accommodation for these days, and if we eat here, the silver will be calculated separately."

An Xinhao said inhumanely.

The woman who was standing at the door and was already waiting, and the woman with heavy makeup immediately ran over when she saw the silver that An Xin threw at the head of the village.

Zhuangtou: "I'm going to find someone to clean the room and put it on the stove to warm it, so that a few sons will live comfortably." ”

The head of the village grinned and greeted him with a flattering smile, completely forgetting that without the permission of the owner, he could not leave a stranger to spend the night on his own village.

No matter how arrogant Liu Boxing is, he knows this truth by everyone who has been taught the rules since he was a child. His face immediately darkened.

Zhu Shijing secretly patted him on the shoulder and silently persuaded him to be patient.

An Xin and a few people were invited into the Zhuangzi by the head of the village, and none of them noticed it, and the woman with a bewitching expression followed behind looked at Li Ziyu and the others with a burning look in their eyes.

This woman's name is Caozhi, she was originally a little widow who did a secret business, and Zhuangtou Hu Yongshou used to be her benefactor.

Hu Yongshou's original wife was a second-class girl next to Liu Boxing's mother.

When Liu Boxing's mother was alive, Hu Yongshou didn't dare to be too presumptuous in the face of his wife's original master.

But after Liu Boxing's mother died in childbirth because her husband died in battle, Liu Boxing's grandchildren also left the capital because of sadness.

Emperor Tiangao was far from being controlled, and Hu Yongshou gradually let go of himself, and took this charming secret door back to Zhuangzi.

He also threw out his wife, who gave birth to a daughter, and became an ordinary servant woman in Zhuangzi.

Hu Zhuangtou is in his forties and ugly.

The little widow is only in her twenties, and she usually covets the good life given by Hu Zhuangtou, so she is willing to serve him.

This woman has done too much, and her nature has become lewd, and when she saw Li Ziyu and a few people, she was staring at them without concealment of the desire in her young and handsome eyes.

An Xin felt something, and turned around just in time to see the lewd eyes that the woman had not had time to retract.

"What's wrong?" Li Ziyu found An Xin looking back, his expression darkened, and asked,

An Xin looked at the head of the village who led them inside, and didn't want to say more, "It's nothing." ”

The houses in the Zhuangzi here have become mottled and old because the master has not been in the capital for many years, and the village slaves have not been maintained and repaired.

An Xin looked like a proud big money, only saying that he had money and wanted to live in a separate room.

Li Ziyu and the others can only have one room for two people because of the limited room and carbon fire.
