It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 620 The Hunt Begins

Su Rui thought to herself, I don't know what the neighbors I will be with for more than ten days in the future will be like?Do you get along well?

Yes, the families of Liu, Feng, and Peng who came together did not live together. Liu Feng went to the camp where civil officials gathered, and Vice Admiral Peng had a lower official position than Meng Mingzhou's, and his position was worse than that assigned by Meng Mingzhou, so they were not together. , Su Rui thought to herself, so the neighbors with them now must also be military officers of the fifth rank, right?I don't know if they are also the generals and female relatives who guard the cities of various states?
It's a pity that Su Rui only saw the girls of various colors coming in and out, and didn't see the female relatives of other families. Thinking about it, the women of this dynasty were all out of the gate, and like her family, they gave women freedom Yes, not many really.

In the morning of the next day, Meng Mingzhou put on his armor, Su Rui also put on formal clothes, and Meng Zong'an also dressed neatly. They stood in the crowd, ready to welcome the arrival of the emperor, queen, and other royal descendants.

After a long time, I heard the sound of horseshoes. After a while, I saw the imperial guards clearing the way. After the imperial driver, the black chess pieces with red background and black characters embroidered with cloud characters fluttered in the wind behind them, making a swish sound.

Twenty or thirty carriages carried the royal children, and followed unhurriedly, and each carriage was escorted by guards with swords on both sides.

Su Rui didn't know when the emperor and the others got out of the carriage, she just followed the people in front, knelt on the ground, doing the same movements.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a faint voice from a distance, saying that everyone should have a good rest today and the hunt will officially start tomorrow.

Then she saw the people in front kowtowing one after another, Su Rui complained about the evil society in her heart, but kowtowed along with them.

Because the emperor and the empress arrived, Meng Mingzhou and other men had to pay their respects to the emperor alone, and Su Rui and other female relatives were also going to pay their respects to the queen.

Su Rui looked at Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu standing not far away, and she just nodded slightly, without saying hello, until the fourth-rank officials and family members in front had finished paying their respects, and it was the turn of the fifth-rank officials and family members to come forward .

When the queen paid a visit to the officials of the fifth rank, she just nodded casually, asked the aunt in charge to give a gift, and let them go without staying. Su Rui looked at the ordinary-looking white jade hairpin in her hand, and then thought of The rewards of the fourth-rank officials and the remaining first- and second-rank officials couldn't help laughing. This is because the fifth-rank officials are too low. For the queen, they don't bother to win over...
The queen's reward, no matter good or bad, is the face given by the Tian family. Even if Su Rui didn't like it, she still received it in the jewelry box.

The next morning was the day when the hunting really started. The first thing to start was the hunting and sacrificial ceremony, after the grand sacrificial ceremony was over.

The emperor stood on the sacrificial altar in person, and said loudly to all the officials and family members standing below the stage, "This hunting ceremony will be held for twelve days. Everyone, regardless of whether they are civil servants or military officials, can participate, but remember, you can only hunt within the specified range."

"Return at unitary hour every day, accumulating the number of individual hunts, on the last day of the hunting day, talk about statistics and synthesis, and the best number will be rewarded."

After the emperor finished speaking, the officials of the Ministry of Rites on one side stepped forward and read a large piece of legislation, "The hunting regulations, do not catch young animals, do not kill pregnant animals, do not hurt young animals, do not collect birds' eggs, do not destroy bird's nests... "..."

"Surrounding and hunting must be surrounded without harmony, leaving room for it, not killing them all, not..."

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals recited the rules and regulations one after another, while the royal family and nobles who had participated countless times in the audience were drowsy after listening to it. They cannot be blamed. The main reason is that they read these words every time they participated in the hunt. , they all know how to recite it.

Finally, when they were about to fall asleep, the officials of the Ministry of Rites finally finished reading. At this time, the emperor stepped forward and said, "Now, you can go hunting together, or you can go hunting alone."

After speaking, he stepped down from the altar neatly, leaving behind a group of officials and family members who hadn't reacted to the hunting for the first time.

As for those who have participated countless times, the men hunted and left together, and the women also wandered around in twos and threes with familiar people.

Su Rui stood where she was, not knowing if she would go to the tent to rest or to rest, when she was hesitating, a charming female voice came from behind.

"Madam, are you alone?"

"Yes, madam, are you alone?"

Su Rui turned her head and saw that it was a woman with a bright and attractive appearance, full of charm, um, what should I say about her looks?A bit like a mixed-race woman, with attractive eyebrows, fair skin, and full lips, a thick-faced beauty must be more popular in modern times, but in this era, it is not so popular.

After all, people in this era like women with gentle looks...
The woman stepped forward with a smile, "Well, I'm alone. In fact, I noticed you when I came here yesterday."

Su Rui is surprised that he came here yesterday?Shouldn't all the officials and family members have arrived the day before yesterday?But still answered with a smile.

"How did Madam think of me?"

The woman thought about it and said embarrassedly, "The main reason is that you are so beautiful, I can't help it if I don't pay attention..."

"..."

Su Rui was a little dumbfounded, is this being exaggerated?Or was he praised by a pretty girl?Although her current face is pretty good, she still has to admit that the lady in front of her is also very beautiful... Anyway, it's the one she likes, she likes this kind of thick-faced beauties , and don't like that kind of little white flower...
"Actually, I think you look more beautiful."

When Madam heard this, the bright smile on her face disappeared, leaving only a wry smile. She touched her face, "Don't you think my appearance, no, is not dignified?"

Su Rui was surprised, "Why do you think so? A person's birth and appearance are not determined by himself. If he is not born well, he can struggle, and if he looks bad, he can improve himself in other places, such as talent, such as personality. "

"Besides, I think that the body, hair and skin are what our parents give us, and what our parents give must be the best. It is predestined by God. Anyone can judge our appearance, except ourselves."

"Besides, why don't you look dignified? Could it be that brighter facial features mean that you are not correct? Then in this world, bah, no, there are a lot of improper people in this world, can they tell? "

The bright-looking lady was taken aback by Su Rui's words. Seeing that the ladies around her were all looking at them, she took Su Rui's hand and walked to a distance until she reached a pavilion before stopping.
