  Chapter 335 Spring Hunting

"Father, what do you think..." Ji Wanyou's cheeks became even more red, and she whispered: "This is just my daughter's own thoughts and plans, and it's just my wishful thinking... Mr. Zhan doesn't even know... my thoughts. ."

Ji Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

   "Do you really know or pretend you don't? You have to write this on your face, I am afraid that a blind man can see it..."

   "Father... don't make fun of me."

   "This is not to stay in the Women's University."

"Why don't you stay here? If you can do what your daughter said, your daughter can stay by your side for the rest of your life, and you can save a lot of heart when you are helped by your father. There will also be someone at home to help you. Now... Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

  Ji Wanyou stretched out her hand, tugged at her father’s sleeve, begging: "Daughter never asked you anything, only this thing..."

   Ji Xiu sighed.

   "Never ask? That's because Dad always indulges you in everything. You don't need to ask for it, Dad has already agreed to everything."

   "Yes, my daughter knows, you love me the most..."

   "Alright..." Ji Xiu said slowly: "This matter will be considered for my father... It is too early to say this now."

   Originally, he didn't plan to consider Zhan Yunzhu.

  But if the daughter really made up her mind and couldn't change it easily, then he could only wait and watch for a while.

  I heard her father let go, Ji Wanyou was full of joy.

   "Thank you father!"

   "I didn't say so, so I agreed." Ji Xiu snorted, "I have to do a good job screening for my father to see if this person is worthy of my daughter."

  Ji Wan pouted and smiled.

  She knows her father better.

  To be precise, I can't understand the depth of my father's affection for me.

  Since she was young, she has never missed what she wanted as long as she said something to her father.

  Furthermore, the talents of Lord Zhan are placed here. Father has some worries when using it, and he will inevitably worry that it will be used by others in the future. If he can really join their Ji family, he can also eliminate many of his father’s worries.

  I just don’t know...Is he willing?

   Thinking of those brows and eyes that are as gentle as a breeze and bright moon, Ji Wanyou feels a little confused.

  Does he feel that this is pitying or even insulting him?

  Thinking about it this way, it is definitely not to be rushed.

  Fortunately, they still have a lot of time to get along, which should be enough for him to slowly see her true mind.

  ……

  The next morning, a light rain fell in Beijing.

In the drizzle, a carriage stopped outside the gate of the town government office. A middle-aged man in a chu-colored round-necked gown got out of the car. Behind him was two young men with brocade boxes in their hands.

  The middle-aged man stepped forward to inform himself about his family and his intentions. After receiving the word "wait" from the servant who guarded the door, he saw that servant turned and went to the house.

  "..." The two young men looked at each other.

  Even if they have to wait, shouldn't they be invited to the hall to wait? What kind of hospitality is to leave them directly outside the door? It's still raining, is it afraid of wiping the floor or something?

  It is said that the government of the town government does not pay attention to etiquette. This time it can be regarded as an experience.

   "Uncle Yun, the Xia family is here, so what kind of steward of the Xia Mansion is it? On the order of the first assistant of Xia, I made a special trip to pay for it!"

   Hearing the gatekeeper's words, Yun Bo gave an "Oh" and waved his hand: "Let them go--cough, let people go back."

  The gatekeeper pressed down in a daze, and asked uncertainly: "Should I just let people... go back?"

  Uncle Yun asked, "Could it be that I have to fight and then throw it out?"

  Although it is obviously more appropriate to do this, but who made their generals now have a much better temper, doing so is no longer in line with the reasonable and human-friendly temperament of their town government.

  No, the general ordered it early in the morning. If the Xia family is here, you only need to let someone go.

  As the saying goes, if there is no comparison, there is no highlight. After hearing this, the gatekeeper inevitably feels that it is straightforward to let people go back. It is really a very amiable solution.

  So, the doorkeeper kindly conveyed this kind meaning to the Xia family.

  After listening to a few people, their expressions were very wonderful and they left.

   Within two days, Xia Shoufu failed to appear in the early morning due to illness.

  Someone secretly said that 80% of them were **** off by Zhen Guo.

   Zhen Guo-gong heard this and only sneered—annoyed by him?

  It is the first time I heard people say that retribution was so refreshing and refined.

  But whatever they mutter, he is in good health anyway, and it is not him who is ill—anything like this is not ashamed of annoying people, and only those who are ill will be ashamed.

  This is the experience he and Wu Jun had gained from each other for many years.

  Guogong Zhen didn’t bother to pay attention to these unpleasant claims, and went to the barracks to practice after eating early.

  ……

  "Girl, the second master asked you to come over and have a cup of tea."

In   Xiyuan, when Xu Mingyi was sorting out the books in the study, Akui walked in to report.

  Second uncle took the initiative to ask her for tea?

  ——Sure enough, the weather is getting hotter, so you can’t stay in bed anymore?

  Xu Mingyi put the booklets on the relations between North Korea and China, which were compiled by himself, into a locked box and put them in the secret compartment of the bookshelf, and then took Akui to the Xu Yun courtyard.

  This trip is quite lively.

  The tea table is in the garden, and there are a few cattail mats. Xu Yun is wearing a navy blue gown. Cai Jin is sitting on the left and a young boy is sitting on the right. It is Xu Mingshi.

   "Zhao Zhao, come sit down and taste the new tea from your second uncle."

   Seeing the niece coming over, Xu Yun said with a smile.

  Xu Mingyi sat down in the only empty seat.

   screamed dissatisfiedly with the big bird who was walking behind her.

  Xu Yun looked over and stared, "What?"

  The literati loves beauty, and it doesn’t matter whether he is beautiful or not, but he is very picky about what he sees, so he really does not have any appreciation for this bald fat bird.

Especially when I heard that when he did not go to the dining room, his position was always occupied by this vulture, but one day when he suddenly went, this big bird refused to return to its original owner, so he could only sit. On the very edge.

   "Jiu'er, take a cushion for the third eye." Xu Mingshi saw the key at a glance and told Xiao Si.

  Xu Yun sighed.

   My nephew and niece play things and lose their minds. This is.

  Where does a bird go and sit? Is that fair?

  And the tea table also has to join in the fun, is it possible that it has to learn to taste tea?

  Or is this bird just enjoying this status symbol?

  Puppet was sent quickly, Tianmu squatted up with satisfaction, and fell asleep shortly after, which confirmed Xu Yun’s suspicion that “this bird wants status”.

While a few people were drinking tea and chatting, Cai Jin looked at the color of the deep spring in the garden, and said: "Now this season, it is time to go out to enjoy the scenery. After a month or two, the sun will be strong. If you want to go out again, there will be no such thing. After a long time, the scenery is different."

  Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement.

  "The scenery outside the city is indeed excellent now, so I should go out more."

  The day before yesterday, she secretly took Wu Chao to ride a horse.

   "Yes, by the way, it will be Chunshou in five days." Cai Jin smiled, looked at Xu Yun, and asked, "Is Mr. Xu going to join in the fun?"

  Since the founding of the country, Daqing has set the rules for holding spring hunting every year.

  At that time, the emperor will take the imperial family and the clan’s children to the Quanhe Palace. Any official of the third rank and above who has no essays and martial arts, will also be on his side.

Officials can bring their families with them. Over the years, those who have wanted to let their children show their faces in front of the holy will generally not miss this good opportunity. According to previous years, if those who perform well in hunting have a chance to get the holy Testimonials.

  In this case, there are only a small number of people who simply go to join in the fun.

   "Chunkari, I remember, go to Quanhe Palace..."

  Xu Yun held the tea bowl and looked far away inexplicably: “I haven’t been to that place for over ten years. Speaking of the scenery, it’s really good...”

   Hearing that he seemed to want to go, Cai Jin, who was looking down to add tea, paused for a while.

  "Second Uncle is going?" Xu Mingshi asked casually.

  As the only son of the Xu family, he has been with his grandfather and father every year since he became complacent at the age of seven.

  But I haven’t seen my second uncle.

  Xu Yun was about to answer, but he heard Cai Jin grabbing the lead and saying: "Yes, there was a letter from the palace yesterday, to the effect that I persuaded Mr. Xu to go with him."

  She originally thought that this must not be persuaded. After all, every time Xu Yun was asked to go out, this gentleman would put on a posture of "Let me go out, and take my corpse out."

  But just now I saw that this one was actually in such an unprecedented sense of interest...

  And she... just now had a moment of hesitation, hesitating whether to tell the letter about it.

  Fortunately, I still said it.

  Finally, it also preserved the integrity of her Cai family.

  "...The emperor wants me to go?" Xu Yun frowned, and immediately shook his head: "Then I can't go, I don't have to think about it, I don't have to think about it, there is no good thing waiting for me."

  Cai Jin nodded earnestly: "Yeah, it's not a good thing."

  Wanfu Building was about to be completed, the emperor asked her to persuade Xu Yun to take her to Chunshou. He wanted to come, but it was nothing more than to mention the relationship between the two of them in front of the clan and hundreds of officials. Fortunately, in public, Xu Yun and Zhen Guogong were called to ride a tiger, so there was no room for rejection...

  So, it's really not a good thing.

  ——At least for Mr. Xu.

  Cai Jin lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, and then sniffed the tea carefully.

  Tea is good tea.

  It was a bit bitter at the first entrance, but those who really drank it knew that the aftertaste was mellow and sweet, not a mortal thing.

  But tea is the same as wine, neither can be greedy.

  "The second uncle should stay at home." Xu Mingshi turned to look at Xu Mingyi, and asked, "Are you going?"

The female family members can also go with them. There are ladies and girls in each house who want to make friends with each other, some who want to go to the palace to play, and some who want to take the opportunity to see which son or girl, and there are even those who want to climb higher. Therefore, it is very lively every year.

   "Go, I'm already the same—"

   Xu Mingyi said at this point, after a pause, he continued preaching: "I have already talked to Jiaojiao."

  As a result, I saw several suspicious eyes swept towards me.

  She didn't care about these gazes, and she ate tea leisurely by herself.

  She really talked to Jiaojiao.

  But Jiaojiao is not the only one who says good things to her.

  This spring hunt, she was going to go.

  This is different from the poem clubs of flower viewing parties organized by the ladies and girls. She never joins in the excitement, but she will never miss Chunkuri events involving high-ranking officials in the imperial clan.

  Even if it’s just to take a look, it’s good to learn more about it.

  As Wu Chao said, just listening is not enough.

   "You can't just drink tea." Cai Jin put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "It's almost noon. Why don't I cook a few simple dishes myself."

  Xu Yun's eyelids twitched.

  Or because of this poisoning, he only felt that the words "cooking personally" had passed through his ears, and when it came to his mind, it seemed to be "poisoned personally".

  He deliberately wanted to persuade people, but the figure had already sat up very quickly and left briskly.

The kitchen in Cai Jin’s mouth refers to the small kitchen in Xu Yun’s courtyard.

  As far as Cai Jin’s cooking skills are concerned, let’s not talk about it. Now, at any rate, he has practiced his speed up. After a few dishes and a large bowl of soup, he was brought over.

  Xiao Si arranges the bowls and chopsticks.

  Xu Mingyi several people were holding chopsticks, but for a moment they did not know how to start.

  Unprecedented humility appeared on the dinner table.

   "What's in this soup...?" Xu Yun couldn't help but asked.

  After all, he has never seen soup of this color since he was a child.

  How do you say this color...

  As if it shouldn’t have appeared in this world—as if you could immediately cross the Naihe Bridge with just one sip.

  So, not so much soup, it is more like a mysterious existence that can connect the yang and the underworld.

   "Well, there are sliced ​​meat, amaranth, and radish..." Cai Jin said as he served a bowl.

  Xu Yun nodded.

  Sounds clearly that they are all ordinary ingredients.

  But Miss Cai seems to have the ability to turn ordinary into magic.

  And the disturbing point right now is -

  Who will she pass this bowl of soup to?

  In silence, the bowl of soup was held in front of Xu Mingyi by a pair of plain hands.

  Xu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  For the first time, he didn't envy his niece's superior position in this family.

   "Although it lacks a little bit above the color and fragrance, the taste should be acceptable, Miss Xu?" Cai Jin said with a smile.

  Under the enthusiasm, Xu Mingyi took it and took a bite.

   Then nodded, and said: "Miss Cai's cooking skills are really much better."

  As everyone knows, she never lied unless necessary.

  And this situation is naturally unnecessary at the moment.

  Xu Yun and Xu Mingshi dubiously tried it, and they all found it unexpectedly delicious.

  Several dishes of side dishes are not very delicious, but the taste is quite satisfactory.

   However, the Tianmu on the side always kept a vigilant look, a look that was never fooled.

   Soon the day of spring hunting came.

  On the eve of leaving, in Xiyuan, Xu Mingyi was sitting on the couch in the house and reading, Tianmu nestled beside her, sleeping soundly, covered with a red veil. The veil of normal size was inexplicably small when placed on the big bird.

  　Good evening, everyone, today is still two more in one.

  　　 (It snowed in many places today, and the county next to me was also down, but it was raining here...)
