Rong Jin saw Xie Yuan at a glance, she was wearing a beautiful and expensive sable fur coat, a sable hat on her head, jet-black hair, bright lips and snow-white skin, sitting there as delicate and lovely as a little fairy.

She was talking to Xie Jing in a soft voice.

It was the first time he had seen such a gentle and docile Xie Yuan, but he didn't look like the weird-tempered and retributive legendary mage in his previous life, but like a dignified and generous sister and a smart and clever child.

She was changed by circumstances.

Rong Jin tugged at the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or bitterness.

"Mrs. Qianyuanhou. Over there, Zhijin Wu Hu Bo took the lead in speaking before Shen spoke, he looked at Shen with a smile, looking very gentle and sincere, "I don't know if you can borrow a place for us to rest......?"

Qian Yuanhou, in Bai Yujing, he is just an ordinary noble family, and some people say that the Xie family has long since declined. Everyone said that Xie Jiasanlang Xie Hui was so powerful, and how outstanding that Ji Jiawulang was.

Back then, these two people, together with Xie Yi, came to the door one after another to ask to marry Shen Jiexi, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and people said that she would choose Xie Sanlang or Ji Liulang, but she chose the most unlikely Qianyuan.

can get the eldest daughter of a family with a more noble status than the princess as a wife, Hu Bo does not dare to despise Yu Qianyuan.

Not to mention that in recent years, the status of Qianyuan Houfu has become higher and higher in Bai Yujing, even if no one has entered the office, there are many great Confucian celebrities and high-ranking officials who have come to visit, and the huge connections behind it, even if the emperor wants to move him Xie Yi, he has to weigh a few points.

Hu Bo was poor in the early years, but he was also helped by Xie Yi, and when the power in his hands became bigger and bigger, he became more and more frightened of Xie Yi.

This person, where are Ji Liulang and Xie Saburo three points with him?

Shen Shi looked at his face, his heart was relieved, he smiled reservedly, and said, "Naturally, it's okay." After that, she instructed the big girls around her, A-Ning and Xiaobai, "Is there any brown sugar ginger water left?"

He also instructed Xie Chun, the chief of the guard, who was with him: "You send someone to clean up that place, it will be okay for our people to squeeze it, the important thing is not to snub Lord Hu." ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing that the three of them were busy with their own work, Shen said to Hu Bo: "Master Hu is speeding in the rain, he must be hungry and tired, so it is better to sit down with the concubine and have a good roast." ”

Hu Bo also smiled, he didn't have many opportunities to deal with the Shen family, but he met more women, like the Shen family, who was very good at doing things, and was very measured, scheming and discerning, and the lady who was not limited to the small back house made him impressed.

When you marry a wife, you should marry a woman like Shen.

The two of them exchanged a few polite greetings and sat down by the campfire.

said that they sat down together, but it was better to make a place for Hu Bo and his gang to warm up.

Shen also ordered someone to bring wine and meat, and sent the old servant Uncle Sun to entertain him, and after making arrangements everywhere, he relaxed and sat down in front of another bonfire.

This time it is busy, and the sky will be dark.

The pouring rain was really as the middle-aged guard said, it couldn't be stopped, the humidity became deeper and heavier, the temperature dropped lower, and the cool breeze poured in through the broken opening, making the people of the temple cold enough. The chief guard looked around, but found some planks, which, with a little processing, were still able to block the broken windows.

He summoned several of his guards to come and sharpen the planks and pestles, but these guards were able to serve as guards, and the carpenter's work was really not enough. is still a boy whose lips have not begun to grow hair, and the old man at home is a carpenter, and he is busy with a lot of work before he can barely nail the broken window with a wooden plank.

It's not dark yet, but it's almost time.

The servants began to gather for today's dinner, and after a while, a mother-in-law came to look for Xiaobai, but there was not enough food.

I had expected to enter the city before the gate of Baiyujing City closed, but I was delayed by the majestic rain.

It's not uncommon to have not enough food.

But where does the food come from in weather like this?

There are no farmers in the vicinity.

Thinking of the few rural mountain people who were still sheltering from the rain, the Shen family sent someone to call them over and ask them how far away the nearest grange was here.

Two of them were hunters, both with bows and arrows, two were farmers with their firewood and woodcutters outside, and one was a scholar with a little scholar of twelve or thirteen years old.

Hu Bo looked at it, and heard it from time to time, but he was a little embarrassed, he looked at his men, and asked in a low voice: "Can anyone hunt well? I can catch a few mountain goods in this ghost weather, and I will buy them for ten times the price." ”

But no one answered.

They were all in a hurry, and they were forced to travel in the rain, and they did not carry any food with them, and even if they did, it was only a little. They are all in the Northern Army, the youngest in rank is also a small leader, and most of them are from poor backgrounds, where do they know what hunting skills?

Rong Jin's eyes rolled, he could get prey in such weather, but ...... After thinking for a moment, he said, "My martial arts are not bad, why don't I go." ”

Hu Bo looked at him, but he had a good impression of this kid who the emperor had forced on him, but he didn't like a noble son like Rong Jin, and said: "Hunting on a rainy day, it's inconvenient." ”

The implication is that a person like Rong Jin, who is excellent at writing, can't take this job.

Rong Jin smiled slightly, and he said confidently: "My lord has never seen my martial arts, so I said this." Although I am young, I may not be inferior to you in martial arts. ”

Hu Bo rolled his eyelids and said, "Okay." He looked at his proud subordinates again, "Liao Pi, your martial arts are good, let's go with you." ”

Over there, the Shen family had learned that the nearest farm was also six or seven miles away from here, and it usually took an hour to walk, not to mention that it was still raining heavily, and it was even more difficult to walk, so they had to give up this idea.

The two hunters were a little hesitant, and when Shen saw that they seemed to have something to say, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

One of the hunters saw that although the Shen family was a nobleman, he had a gentle attitude, so he said: "We call this area Wild Wolf Ridge, there are most gray wolves, rabbits, golden pheasants and other mountain goods. But at night, when the wolves come out to feed, then it will be troublesome.

Like my father and uncle, who used to come here to hunt, they were all killed by the gray wolves here. ”

Shen pondered for a moment and asked, "How many wolves are there here?"

"About thirty or forty. There is only a group of gray wolves, led by the head wolf, who is ferocious by nature, and even if the boar encounters it, he has to take a detour. ”

Shen glanced at Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai took out a few silver bills and handed them to the hunter, and said, "Thank you for telling us the news, I hope you will accept this bit of silver." ”

These silver bills are quite heavy, and there are several taels of them.

The other mountain people were really regretful and jealous when they saw it.

If you are bold enough to tell the nobles, these taels of silver will be your own.

One tael of silver can buy two hundred buckets of rice, enough for a family of five to eat for a year!

This is not just one tael of silver, look at at least five taels of silver!

The chief guard who followed Shen glanced at these countrymen a few times, and the bright sword hanging from his waist scared off the greedy and covetous hearts of these people.

Xie Yuan glanced at it without a trace, and returned his gaze to his younger brother's body.

Sweating out, Xie Jing was more energetic, and was pulling Xie Yuan's sleeve around her to tell her story. Because he had a little heart on his stomach, he didn't feel empty. It was an unprecedented experience in a ruined temple, even if it was damp and cold, as a child, he felt fun and novel.

Xie Yuan thought about it for a while, and picked a story from the history book to tell him.

Seeing Rong Jin wearing a hat and a cloak and going out, followed by a tall and swarthy man, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Xie Jing also noticed: "Second sister, where are they going?"

"Hunting. Xie Yuan said, "We don't have much left to eat, and if we don't hunt, everyone will be hungry." ”

He also took the opportunity to indoctrinate the idea: "As a man, you have to protect women and children, and not hide behind women, do you know?"

"Hmm!" Xie Jing remembered Xie Cheng's neat swordsmanship when he practiced swordsmanship, and remembered his cousin Shen Xiu's agile skills when he was hunting, and said proudly, "Brother Jing will work hard to grow up and shelter his mother and second sister from the wind and rain!"

Xie Yuan smiled, turned his head sideways and kissed him on the cheek.

This is a rare honor, Xie Jing puffed up his chest and became even more proud, eager to immediately transform into a seven-foot man, and go hunting in the rain with Narong Jin and the black man.

While listening to Xie Jing's rhetoric, Xie Yuan released his perception and searched the entire ruined temple carefully, but found a nest of gray-haired rabbits under the broken statue, a snake sleeping under the floor, and several litters of fat mountain rats where the garbage was piled up.

The rabbit is quite delicious......

As soon as he felt in his heart, Xie Yuan pulled Xie Jing up and said, "It's tiring to sit, Brother Jing can go with me." ”

The two children sat uncomfortably and wanted to take a walk, but Shen did not object, there were maids on the left and right, and the children were sensible, even if there was something, it was a trivial matter.

The ruined temple is quite large, and there are eaves on both sides. Everyone is on the side of the temple, because the statue has been removed, and it is okay to rest, eat and drink here. On the other side is the main hall, where cobwebs and rats are rampant, and only half of the black clay remains of the crooked statue of the god, and the table on which the shrine is enshrined is also crooked to the ground, looking at the decay.

Xie Yuan took Xie Jing around in front of the statue, and at this time, two rabbits jumped out of a hidden corner one after another, ran past Xie Yuan's feet, but suddenly fell down and didn't move.

So when Rong Jin came back from hunting, he could already smell the aroma of hare meat in the cauldron boiling in the gulp, which especially aroused people's appetite in such a damp and cold ruined temple.

He didn't hunt much prey, two pheasants and a doe.

However, in such bad weather, it is rare to be able to catch prey. Even Hu Bo looked at him a few more times, secretly wondering if he had lost his eyes, this noble-born boy could have this ability......

Hearing the servants talking about the origin of the rabbit, they fell at the feet of the third girl and the fourth prince of the Hou Mansion, and Rong Jin almost stumbled under his feet.

There is no magic element in feelings, and the legendary mage is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse.

Rong Jin peeked at Xie Yuan, secretly assessing her strength in his heart, and when he saw the little girl's cold eyes, he was suddenly shocked.

Such a keen perception!

Where is this rabbit, it is clearly still a ferocious tigress!

Even if she becomes a little girl, she is still the murderous legendary mage.
