Yutai Bi

Chapter 81 Is Roast Venison Delicious?
Du Jingshu smiled and said, "Look, it's really faster for two people to find it."

At this time, a deer ran out from the woods, chased by horses behind it, with a carved plume and feather arrow stuck in its body, it rushed out in a panic.Another feathered arrow flew out from the forest, and the deer fell down, its body twitching.Du Jingshu's horse was startled all of a sudden.

The horse barked loudly, with its hooves raised, Du Jingshu screamed, and lost the rein in her hand, leaning back and forth on the horse's back, and was in danger of falling off the horse in an instant.

"Jingshu! Hold on to the saddle!" Cen Sanniang called out to her, jumped up vigorously and reached out to grab Du Jingmei's reins.

At this time, another horse rushed out from the forest, and grabbed the frightened horse with one hand before Cen Sanniang.

Cen Sanniang took a chance, lost her balance, and fell face down on the ground.She wanted to support the ground with her hands reflexively, and the skin was worn out immediately.The growing little bun had a close contact with the earth, and the pain made her eyes glisten.

"Brother Ninth!" Du Jingshu shouted in shock, and when she turned her head she saw Cen Sanniang fell to the ground: "Sister Cen, how are you?" She got off her horse to help Cen Sanniang.

Cen Sanniang was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she could only hold her breath and forced a smile at her, and looked up to see a young man jumping off the horse neatly with a longbow in his hand.

He was wearing a white arrow-sleeve gown with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the collar, and he was slender.With his back to the sun, his face was full of determination.

Cen Sanniang became dazed, and murmured two words: "Kongqing."

The sun was so strong that it made her eyes swell.Du Jingshu's crying voice came from beside her ear.She wanted to tell her that she was fine, just take a rest.But the heartbeat was so fast, it was like beating a drum.

He took a water bag and fed it to her mouth.The cool and sweet water poured into her mouth, Cen Sanniang swallowed a few mouthfuls, and finally found her own voice: "I scratched my skin, it's nothing serious, just take a rest."

Du Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief immediately: "I was scared to death." She quickly took out her handkerchief and came out to wrap up the wound on her hand.

Cen Sanniang smiled at her, her eyes quietly passed over his face, without seeing the slightest disturbance.

Du Jingshu regained her liveliness: "Ninth brother, you are really serious, you can't shoot a deer to death."

He coaxed her apologetically: "You hunted this deer, okay?"

Du Jingshu smiled and frowned, suddenly remembered something, and knocked herself: "Sister Cen, I forgot to introduce you. This is the ninth brother Du Yansui from the third room of my family. Sister Yanwan's direct brother. Ninth brother , this is Ms. Sun from the Li family, the third mother of the Cen family."

Du Yansui greeted Cen Sanniang with a slight smile: "Sanniang hurts her hand and can't hold the reins, Eleventh Sister, ride with her, I'll send you back."

He reached out and hugged Cen Sanniang, and put her on the horse's back.Turning around, he tied the deer to his horse, rode on Du Jingshu's horse and said, "Let's go."

Du Yansui?How could it be possible for the children of the Jingzhaodu family to be the bodyguards of King Teng.Is she mistaken?
The lady and the girls hadn't come back yet, and the camp was extremely quiet.

Du Yansui picked up Du Jingshu and Cen Sanniang from their horses, and asked two young men to take care of the deer.

Cen Sanniang couldn't help turning her head to look at him.The bloody back of Kongqing in the alley of Yongpingfang flashed in his mind.He is like a sword pierced deep into the ground.Anyone who dared to cross him was doomed to pay the price with blood.She remembered the night when Hongzhou fell into the river.She huddled in the reeds, Kong Qing smiled at her and said he had gone back.He turned and walked out of the reed bank, leaping into the water like a fish.And on the sandbar, he pushed the boat out... Yes, why is she so stupid.On Kong Qing's shoulder blades there is the imprint branded by that hairpin.Just look at Du Yansui's back, isn't it clear?

"Sister Cen... San Niang..."

Who is calling her, with such a sneaky voice?Cen Sanniang turned around and saw Du Jingshu pursing her lips and giggling, looking like a cat who stole the fish without being noticed by the owner.

Cen Sanniang was surprised: "Why are you looking at me like this? Why are you smiling like this?"

Du Jingshu stood on tiptoe on purpose, stretched her neck to look behind her, and said in an unhurried voice, "My ninth brother has long since disappeared, San Niang, what are you still looking at?"

Only then did Cen Sanniang realize that she had stared at Du Yansui for too long, and this lady misunderstood.It was inconvenient for her to explain, so she snorted and walked in with her hands raised: "Who did I hurt my hand for? Can't I see the scenery?"

Du Jingshu held back her smile and pulled her hand down, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, right? If you don't say anything, it's fine. If you want to ask in the future, it depends on whether the girl is in a good mood or not!"

Cen Sanniang was furious, and chased Du Jingshu into the curtain.

"Oh, what's the matter with you, San Niang?" Cen Siniang, who didn't go to ride the horse, could tell something was wrong at a glance.

Cen Sanniang hurriedly raised her hand and laughed, "I fell down and scratched my palm. I'm destined not to be able to bake rabbits myself today."

Cen Siniang gave her a sharp look, took off the veil, saw that the skin was indeed scratched, and was a little red and swollen, she asked the maid to fetch the medicine and white cloth, and re-wrapped the wound.

Cen Sanniang glanced at Du Jingshu, who was following her closely, and said to Si Niang: "Fourth sister, don't throw that veil. The younger sister of the Du family wrapped up my wound."

Cen Siniang married into the Yuchi Mansion, and knew the rich and powerful families in central Beijing better than Cen Sanniang.After hearing this, she smiled and said to Du Jingshu: "Sister Du, thank you for saving my family's third mother today. It just so happened that Henan Road sent four fighting cocks from Caozhou Mansion, so I will send a pair to my sister as a token of my gratitude."

Du Jingshu's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyes were shining brightly.

Although Cen Sanniang didn't understand, seeing her like this, she knew that the fighting cock in Caozhou Mansion must be a treasure.

Although Du Jingshu was excited, the upbringing of the rich family was different after all. She shook her head and refused: "Mrs. Yuchi, this gift is too expensive for Jingshu to accept. In fact, my horse was frightened today, and I threw away the reins. San Niang He fell down when he wanted to catch the startled horse. Speaking of which, I should have thanked Sanniang."

As soon as these words came out, Cen Sanniang's affection for Du Jingshu increased a bit.Being able to hold back in the face of temptation and dare to tell the truth shows Du Jingshu's good character and upbringing.

Si Niang wanted to make friends with Du Jingshu, so she gave San Niang a wink.Although Cen Sanniang didn't know why Siniang did this, she also wanted to satisfy Du Jingshu's desire to like cockfighting: "Jingshu, it's wrong for you to say that. If you weren't enthusiastic about accompanying me to find Nobile, you wouldn't be surprised. When I found the golden hairpin my mother left me, I thought, I must give you the most special gift. Of course, what the fourth sister wants to give is her heart, and mine is a separate one. You don’t It’s wrong to accept me as a friend.”

Cen Sanniang was half coquettish and half threatening.Cen Siniang was at the side to smooth things over again.Du Jingshu is only fourteen or fifteen years old, so she is no match for these two people. She just feels that she is wrong not to accept the fighting cock, but she still blushes and insists: "The fighting cock in Caozhou Mansion must be chosen to honor Lord Yuchi, it is too precious Mrs. Yuchi is so enthusiastic, it would be rude for Jingshu to refuse. But, I only want one."

"You can just call me Si Niang. Sister Jingshu, I will post a post for you when I go back to the house. Come and see the fighting cocks in my house, and choose another one to go back?" Cen Siniang said with a smile, and handed it to Cen Sanniang. winked.

Cen Sanniang smiled and said, "Fourth sister also invites me. I have never seen a cockfight before. Jingshu, tell me, what is a cockfight like?"

The two chatted slowly about the cockfight.

It was three poles high in the sun, and the scene outside the curtain gradually became lively.The people who were riding horses and watching the distance came back gradually, and went back to their small tents to change clothes and rest.

All kinds of prey were washed and stripped by the boys, and a pot was set up in the downwind place, and they began to cook and barbecue.

Cen Sanniang asked Du Jingshu softly: "Is roast venison delicious?"

Du Jingshu froze for a moment, then burst out laughing, shaking all over, pointing at Cen Sanniang speechless.

"My girl said that if you hunt it yourself and eat it by roasting it yourself, the taste will definitely be different." Cen Sanniang cheekily pretended not to know what she was laughing at, and said solemnly.

Cen Sanniang pulled the horse's reins desperately, and Cen Siniang was generous.Du Jingshu had a good impression of the sisters of the Cen family. At this time, she was amused by Cen Sanniang's words, and she pulled Cen Sanniang out: "Today Brother Nine shot a deer which surprised us, and punished him to roast a deer for us to eat! Let's find him now." .”

Cen Sanniang also pretended: "I'm afraid this is not good?"

Du Jingshu was dumbfounded: "It turns out that you are also good at pretending!"

Cen Sanniang blinked her eyes, and said to herself as if Xiao Xiaoxi was gone forever: "Forget it, why are we friends? I'll just stay with you."

After speaking, he cast an angry look at Du Jingshu.This appearance is extremely cute, Du Jingshu laughed heartily, stopped teasing her, and pulled her out of the curtain.

Du Yansui was indeed roasting a deer.It's just that there are three women sitting on the grass beside him.Wei Xiaowan, sister Wei Xiaoqing, and Du Yanwan.

"Ninth brother! We also want to eat roasted deer!" Du Jingshu shouted, and pulled Cen Sanniang over, and told the mother-in-law to set up a table and brought two reed mats.

The five women were waiting to eat Du Yansui's roasted deer, Cen Sanniang thought it was weird.

Du Yanwan glanced at her brother, who was buried in roasting a deer, then cast a sideways glance at Wei Xiaowan, propped her chin and said, "Brother, there are so many people coming to eat you!"

Cen Sanniang lowered her head at the right time, hiding the smile in her eyes.

She secretly looked up at him.As if Du Yansui didn't hear it, he took the plate from the boy and spread the meat on the grill with bamboo clips.The white clothes are like snow, the collar embroidered with silver thread reflects the sunlight, and the movements are elegant and graceful.
