Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 313
"Don't let a lifeless slave affect your mood, let's go happily!" Shen Quan's tone softened again, and he smiled while holding Yao Cunhui's hand.

"Of course not, how can I be so stupid!" Yao Cunhui smiled sweetly and leaned on Shen Quan's body.Shen Quan embraced her and stroked her gently.

Yesterday, the two parties agreed to meet at the gate of the city. After leaving the Zhenxi Palace, Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan's carriage drove towards the gate of the city.

They stayed in the mansion for a while, Yao Cunjia and Xie Fuyun obviously had been waiting for a long time.

"Sister! Huier!" Yao Cunjia smiled and beckoned her to join him.

"I'm going to ride a horse, you go and stay with your sister!" Shen Quan said upon seeing this.

Yao Cunhui naturally agreed, and got into Yao Cunjia's carriage, while Shen Quan and Xie Fuyun rode beside them.

Xinghualing is in Baoding, not far from the capital city, and the weather is still early, and it is late autumn in September. The weather is just right, and the group of people are not in a hurry, chatting and walking leisurely.Seeing that there were fewer pedestrians, Yao Cunhui ordered his men to lift up the curtains on both sides of the carriage, leaving only a thin layer of gauze, and the carriage suddenly brightened up. Looking at the wild scenery outside, he felt much more relaxed and happy.

Yao Cunjia took Yan Ge'er with him, and Yan Ge'er was just babbling and learning to speak, and the child's words were not taboo, I don't know how funny it is, Yao Cunhui hugged his little nephew and teased him laughing happily.

Half a day later, I arrived at the village in Xinghua Ridge, which is called Xingling Village.To save trouble, Shen Quan originally wanted to call it Xinghuazhuang, but this name was already taken by a nearby Zhuangzi, so he had to change it.

Zhuangzi is located in an open valley, surrounded by mountains, the scenery is quiet, the white walls and gray tiles are half covered by the shade of green trees, it is very quiet and pleasant.

A group of people entered the village and settled down, and the maid in charge of the village served meals. The dishes were all kinds of game such as pheasant, musk deer meat, venison, and hare bought near the mountains, and dried mountain bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and fungus. Waiting or stewing or frying, the fragrance is full and appetizing.

Yao Cunhui saw that there were all kinds of wild game, so he smiled happily and asked the maid in charge if there was any extra?If so, prepare some and go to the wild to find a good place to barbecue tomorrow.

The maid in charge was also happy to see that the master liked it, so she quickly nodded and smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, there are many hunters around here. I dare not say venison and gazelle, but there must be pheasants, hares, pheasants, etc. This is just a matter of slaves." People go ask!"

Shen Quan raised his head and smiled after hearing this: "Why do you need to ask people about this? There are so many mountains and forests. When the sun goes down in the afternoon, I will take people to the mountains to hunt some ready-made! See if there is fresh venison and yellow mutton and buy some!"

The maid hurriedly agreed to go.

Yao Cunhui's eyes brightened, and he took Shen Quan's arm and said joyfully, "Really? I want to go too, I want to go too! Take me there!"

Shen Quan saw that her eyes were shining with excitement, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She nodded softly and said, "Okay, let's take a rest after dinner, let's go as soon as we are ready."

"En!" Yao Cunhui nodded excitedly, she had never seen such a fun thing as hunting.Shen Quan used to be the general who conquered the west, and his archery and martial arts must be very good.

"Sister, brother-in-law—"

"Both of you, go!" Seeing Yao Cunhui looking over, Xie Fuyun quickly shook his hands and said with a smile, "We'll just hang out in the Zhuangzi. Brother Yan is still young, so we can't leave Mother!"

The mountain roads in the mountains are rugged, and there are vines and weeds everywhere. His wife is a real lady in a boudoir. How can he get used to this?Moreover, Jiaer would definitely not dare to watch such a bloody hunting event.

"You, don't just play around, be careful on the road, go early and come back early!" Sure enough, Yao Cunjia didn't want to go, and seeing Yao Cunhui's excited face, he already told him to go with a smile.

Yao Cunhui felt a little regretful that her sister didn't want to go to such a fun thing, but she couldn't force her to go, so she agreed with a smile.

Shen Quan also said: "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of Huier."

"That's right, my lord's martial arts riding and archery is top-notch, and this mountain forest is not enough for my lord! Jiaer, don't worry!" Xie Fuyun also laughed.

After eating for a while, Yao Cunjia and Xie Fuyun went back to their yard to rest, Yao Cunhui was full of excitement, where could he rest?Then he watched Shen Quan order people to feed the horses, check the reins, saddles, horseshoes, etc., and prepare bows and arrows, sabers, ropes, bamboo baskets, water bags, etc.

Seeing her like this, Shen Quan was very helpless, so he simply said: "If you are not tired, let's start early, and have some fun by the way!"

Yao Cunhui naturally agreed, and went back to the house to change clothes. She changed into a royal blue riding outfit with a slender waist, leggings, knee-high leather boots, and her hair tied in a simple low temple. Finally, only ordinary silver hairpins and jade hairpins are used to fix it.He checked his body again and replaced it with a mosquito-proof sachet sewn with wormwood, took off all the jade pendants and ornaments, and replaced the usual handkerchief with an ordinary handkerchief without any logo.In this way, even if these things are dropped and picked up by others, it doesn't matter.

She was dressed like this, clean and neat, with a dashing and heroic look between her brows, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water, piercing and full of heroic spirit, which swept away her usual gentleness and dignity, and made her look bright and flamboyant.

Shen Quan's eyes brightened when he saw it, and he was so happy that he repeatedly praised it. Hong Liao and Hong Ling also pursed their lips and smiled in praise.

Yao Cunhui herself was also very happy, and after appreciating herself, she asked Shen Quan happily, "Would it be more stylish for me to wear a sword and carry a quiver?"

"Don't mess around! Just take care of yourself!" Shen Quan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Yao Cunhui stuck out her tongue, and she just said that, let alone Shen Quan not agreeing, even if Shen Quan agreed, she couldn't bear it.After thinking about it, he turned his head and asked Polygonum and Hongling if they wanted to go?The two girls have never seen such a battle before, they quickly waved their hands together and said no.Yao Cunhui secretly thought it was a pity, if Xiao Xing and Xiao Li were here, they would definitely be happy to go.

After checking that there was nothing missing, Shen Quan ordered Hong Liao to wrap a cloak for Yao Cunhui, fearing that the mountain would be cool after sunset in the afternoon.After collecting it, he led Yao Cunhui and set off with five or six personal soldiers.

Shen Quan was very familiar with this area, and it didn't take long for the group of people to enter the dense forest.

Shen Quan was still worried about Yao Cunhui at first, so he followed her closely, reminding her from time to time, but after a while, he found that Yao Cunhui was extremely proficient in controlling the mount, and he didn't change his face or frown when facing the rugged mountain road.Shen Quan couldn't help laughing and praised a few words, and slowly let go of his heart.

Yao Cunhui smiled back, raised his chin proudly and said, "Don't forget, I walked the long way from the capital to Luntai in the Western Regions completely back and forth!"

Shen Quan couldn't help but think of the time when the two secretly met in the Western Regions, and smiled at each other.

After walking for about half an hour, I stopped in an open and gentle forest, with a relatively wide stream flowing beside it.Hunting in the forest is different from grasslands, you can only rely on walking, and riding a horse will get in the way.They found places for their horses and tied them under the trees, and headed to the forest separately with their quiver on their backs.

Shen Quan pointed to the valley to the west, and ordered three soldiers to go there, where gazelle, wild sheep, muntjac, wild deer and other large prey often appeared; he took Yao Cunhui and the other two The soldiers entered the forest and walked to the depths and high places, waiting for the sun to fall and the birds to return to their nests to find their targets.

The scenery of the mountains and forests in mid-autumn is very beautiful. The color of the leaves is not only green and green, but also gradually dyed in various colors such as crimson, deep purple, apricot yellow, orange yellow, bright yellow, etc. It is colorful and pleasing to the eye.There are all kinds of ripe wild fruits in the forest at this time, Yao Cunhui was surprised, which ones can be eaten, which ones can't be eaten, which ones are sour, which ones are sweet, and which ones are not ripe yet. Quan actually casually said that he was well-informed, and when he saw a delicious one, he picked it up and gave it to Yao Cunhui.

There are also wild grapes hanging on the tall pine trees. The clusters are the size of a fist, but the individual grapes are only as big as fish eyeballs.Shen Quan leaped up to a high place to pick some of them lightly, "It's a different flavor than the ones grown in the garden, try it!"

Yao Cunhui took it with joy, put it carefully into the small bamboo basket that he carried with him, took a bunch of them in his hand, took one off and rubbed it on his clothes casually, so as not to suck it in his mouth, it was really special. Cool and sweet, with an indescribable fragrance of mountain grass and trees.

"It's so sweet! It's delicious!" Yao Cunhui's eyebrows were crooked with a smile, he picked one and rubbed it, then passed it to Shen Quan's mouth, "Try it!"

Shen Quan opened his mouth and ate it, and said with a smile: "Well, sweet!" He really had a good eye, and chose a good wife. How many of the bureaucratic and noble women in the capital can treat his taste as straightforwardly as she does?Who would appreciate the wild grapes he picked?

The two soldiers saw that the princess was walking freely in the mountains and forests, without any coquettishness, and her temper was very easy-going, they couldn't help but feel a little close to their own people.

The trees in the forest were tall and prosperous, and it was getting dark quickly. After a while, the light was obviously dimmed.Shen Quan took Yao Cunhui and ordered the two soldiers to walk away to look for prey, but the distance between the two sides should not be too far, and it is best to be within sight.

Not long after, there was the sound of flapping wings in the forest, and the colorful feathers of fluttering birds could be faintly seen among the dense branches and leaves. Yao Cunhui suddenly became excited, blinked his eyes, and went to the prosperous Observe among the branches and leaves.Shen Quan asked her to stay still, and he and the two soldiers began to find a good position to draw the bow and shoot arrows.

The feather arrow pierced through the air, and something fell to the ground with a "pounce", and the two soldiers hurried forward to pick up the prey without waiting for orders.Yao Cunhui cheered and stood up, smiled and gave Shen Quan a thumbs up. Shen Quan shook his head and smiled slightly, came over and led her with a light smile, "Let's go on!"

"Okay!" Yao Cunhui glanced at the colorful golden pheasant with its long tail picked up by the soldiers, and smiled with crooked eyes.

When the red sun was falling in the west, only the brilliance remained, they walked out of the dense forest, a soldier sent a signal to the sky to summon the other three, and they walked back along the mountain road.
