Chapter 117, beating and jealousy
When Xiaochu got on the horse, Chu Huaixian and Jin Xier also got on the horse. This time, there was another family behind him. It can be said that the fresh clothes and angry horse group went out. After looking at Chu Huaixian several times, his face was calm and gradually calmed down. In the streets with few people, Xiaochu walked slowly with the reeds of the horse; on the streets with many people, the reeds were in Chu Huaixian's hands. He rides a horse leisurely and can take Xiaochu's horse with him. Xiaochu looked at the bow and arrow behind Jin Xier and her family. Except for not holding Huang Zhicang, he looked like he was going out hunting. Then he looked at the prince, and the bow and arrow hung on the saddle bridge. Xiaochu asked curiously, and Chu Huaixian smiled: "Yes." He seemed to be calm, as if he was not the person who was angry with Xiaochu a few days ago.
When he walked to the gate, the officer guarding the city was a person who knew Chu Huaixian. From afar, he saw him come down from the gate and say hello: "Where are you going, prince? If you want to hunt, you can fight in the woods 40 miles away. You don't have to go too far. You can greet me if you are close. Xiaochu looked at him as considerate, and the seven-foot man looked like a woman. Chu Huaixian smiled at him and said, "I have to go farther to have fun. Don't worry, it's not far from General Xu's barracks." The officer seemed to be completely relieved and said a few words to slow down before watching them go out of the city.
An officer who came to invite Ann behind him laughed in a low voice: "The princes will play this year. A few days ago, the little marquis also went out with his maid, and today Mr. Chu is also like this. The person who immediately put on a cloak and can't see his face clearly should be a girl. The guard also smiled: "Maybe it's a girl who can't figure it out. If the princes don't play, they are not waiting for anything. They are born with a cute father, which is much better than us from a miserable background. If it were me, I would play too.
There were fewer and fewer people on the city's official road. Chu Huaixian said, "If it's boring, just take off the hood." Xiaochu took off the hood. This was a silk cloak given by the prince when he went out. The hood was deeply worn, and others could not see Xiaochu's face clearly. Wearing such a cloak in summer can protect you from the sun; and the clothes are light, and it doesn't feel too hot to add such a thing.
Walking along the official road in the morning, it seems that you don't know where to go. There are more and less officials, and they pay attention to their people from time to time.
"Rabbit!" A family member pointed to it, and Xiaochu also saw it. In the green grass under the tree, a gray rabbit stopped there, squirming the beard elephant eating. The woods are some distance away from the official road, and the gray rabbit in the silence was seen by Xiaochu, like a static painting. There was a sound of bow strings around him, and a long arrow broke through the air and nailed the gray rabbit to the ground. The gray rabbit was bleeding under the arrow and was still struggling.
Xiaochu exclaimed and turned pale to the bloody wild rabbit. Just now, it was still free and cute and looking for food. Now in this scene, Xiaochu can't bear to see it, but his eyes can't move straight. A free hare was originally staying in the mountains and forests. At this time... tears filled Xiaochu's eyes, and she cried at the hare like a demon.
Chu Huaixian has been paying attention to her beside her. Seeing this, he stretched out his hand and gently pulled her white chin and pulled her face over. Xiaochu raised his head and two tears slipped from his cheeks. Then he saw Chu Huaixian holding a carved bow in his hand in front of him. The arrow just now was shot by the prince!
Xiaochu didn't see how Chu Huaixian took the bow and how to shoot arrows. Now she decided to look at the bow and arrow in Chu Huaixian's hand. The patterns carved on the bow and arrow could be seen clearly. Xiaochu suddenly understood, and suddenly burst into tears. She lowered her head and suppressed her voice and cried fiercely.
A family member jumped off the horse, ran over happily, pulled out the arrow and wiped it clean, and then brought the rabbit's ears to Chu Huaixian: "It's more than five catties." Chu Huaixian smiled and listened to his pleasant voice: " put it away." Xiaochu cried so sadly that the prince couldn't see it. Jin Xier and her family didn't understand and didn't say anything.
At present, the family around me is still talking about Chu Huaixian's archery: "If I get an arrow so far away, I can't." Xiaochu heard it and cried even more fiercely. Jin Xier glanced at the prince beside Xiaochu and was leisurely under the sun, as if she were walking in the leisure court.
No one cares whether Xiaochu cried or not. She cried bitterly by herself. By the time she stopped her tears, it was almost noon. Looking at the river in the distance, she came to the river. Chu Huaixian still looked calm and said nothing to Xiaochu. There are small shops and wooden tables by the river, and they are clean. The group disembowed their horses for lunch in the store. The family had a table, and Chu Huaixian and Xiaochu were at the window.
The store sent wine. Xiaochu was sad and just looked out of the window at the river. Chu Huaixian pushed a bowl of rice wine to Xiaochu and said warmly, "You drink this, and you will feel comfortable after drinking it." Xiaochu couldn't take him for a while. He silently took the wine and took a sip and took a sip. The entrance was really not spicy. Xiaochu took another sip. Looking at the shop delivering a few plates of dishes, he actually felt hungry. It should be hard to cry, Xiaochu thought so.
It's windy in the river, and it's not hot to sit in the small shop. Xiaochu went down with a bowl of rice wine, and his body seemed to float up lazily. His slightly red and swollen eyes, which had just cried, were bright because of the wine. Chu Huaixian only smiled in his eyes and poured wine for Xiaochu from time to time. Halfway through the meal, another carriage and a group of people stopped outside. Jin Xier recognized it and went to Chu Huaixian and replied, "It's the Du family."
The people of the Du family also recognized Chu Huaixian, and a more experienced family trotted in to greet him: "Is the prince here? My cousin went out to see her son and daughter-in-law. Our girl and cousins were the closest to each other. They came back to the master's wife to see them off. It's hot at noon. You have to rest here for a while. If you don't want to meet the prince.
Chu Huaixian looked at the store, and the best window position was occupied by himself and Xiaochu. Even if there was no Xiaochu, Chu Huaixian would not give up his seat. He only told Jin Xier, "Go and help Zhang Luo." Then when Du Yingzhu entered the small shop with his veil, he got up to show his respect. Xiaochu got up with him and left his seat to salute Du Yingzhu. When Chu Huaixian sat down, he sat down with him.
When Du Yingzhu got out of the carriage outside, she heard that Chu Huaixian was here. Originally, I liked it in my heart and thought it was rare to meet alone. This is a wild shop with few people, so I can say a few more words. I don't want to come in and see that Xiaochu is here again. She can only be taken out by Chu Huaixian to play here. Du Yingzhu was inexplicably sad, and this girl always made her uncomfortable. And today, it is even more eye-catching and cruel.
"Girl, let's sit here," Jin Xier helped the housekeeper arrange a seat for Du Yingzhu. Du Yingzhu smiled at Jin Xier and felt somewhat better. Seeing Xiaochu and Chu Huaixian drinking, Du Yingzhu could only feel sad.
The shopkeeper burned the rabbit and sent it to Chu Huaixian's table, and Xiaochu suddenly turned pale. Chu Huaixian laughed for a moment, raised chopsticks and put a piece of it into the bowl in front of her. He said lightly, "It's delicious. Try it." Lin Xiaochu came up awkwardly and had a little drunkenness. He took a small bowl and folded the rabbit meat back into the bowl in front of Chu Huaixian, stared at Chu Huaixian, turned his face out of the window and then looked at the river.
Chu Huaixian smiled and didn't care about her and drank by himself. Then when I saw Xiaochu's wine going down, I poured it on her.
Xiaochu drank three bowls of rice wine for this meal, most of which were not much, but she felt drunk with an empty stomach. Chu Huaixian drank slowly and didn't count. Noting that Du Yingzhu looked at herself from time to time, Chu Huaixian asked her to see it clearly. I haven't decided which one to marry. The second aunt has a bright tongue. She doesn't care whether the Du family is a distant relative of the Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's family. This marriage may also be successful.
Chu Huaixian leisurely, who I marry, who I like to be with, that's my business. This Miss Du often comes and goes at home, not to mention how indulgent she is, and she has never heard of great virtuousness. Let her have a good look and go home to pass it on. Mr. Chu is Princess Shang and is not going to look at his wife's face. Today, it happens that I want to be one of my own wives and see it clearly.
Du Yingzhu looked more and could only be more sad. The two actually sat and drank against each other. Xiaochu didn't give the prince any vegetables or pour him wine, so he lay down on the window to look at the wild scenery. Chu Huaixian made a dish for her from time to time, and other dishes were fine. As long as he took the rabbit meat, Xiaochu would either pout or stare when he saw it. It was too sad to stare, and Xiaochu also pouted her mouth. It was not until Chu Huaixian took it back with a smile that she took back her pouted mouth. These are full of affection in Du Yingzhu's eyes.
Du Jiayuan was a sharper, and Du Yingzhu slowly picked up a bowl of noodles in front of him. The housekeeper and the waiter knew that she would not eat the food in this small shop, and they didn't care about her. After everyone ate, they came to ask Du Yingzhu to get on the bus and go back home. Du Yingzhu was even more angry and sad. The more angry she was, the more she wanted to see it, and she didn't want to leave. Obviously, he was so angry that he stirred up the vinegar mountain and the sea of vinegar in his heart, with a virtuous smile on his face. Du Yingzhu didn't look at Chu Huaixian and Xiaochu, and said to the housekeeper with a smile, "It's rare to come out. I love the scenery here. It's okay to sit down for a while." As he said, he continued to pick up the bowl of noodles in front of him and glanced at Chu Huaixian again, thinking about when they would leave and could go all the way.
Chu Huaixian didn't plan to go back today. If he sat comfortably in the shop, he would sit for a while. Xiaochu was drunk and could see the river. From time to time, he turned around and drank a sip of rice wine. He looked at the dishes that Chu Huaixian held for himself horizontally and vertically. If he was satisfied, he would eat it. If he was not satisfied, he would take it again. He couldn't think of going back, but also If you don't get up, ask.
The sun moved little by little, and the housekeeper invited him twice. Du Yingzhu couldn't drag any longer. She got up and helped the girl and walked over. She smiled at Chu Huaixian as if she was reproached and concerned: "Drink less. It's getting late. It's time to go back to the city." Chu Huaixian saw her coming and got up to wait for etiquette. Before replying, Xiaochu woke up. Turning around, he found that Du Yingzhu had arrived at the table. Xiaochu still had the word etiquette in his mind, so he stood up quickly.
Du Yingzhu suppressed her anger and scolded Xiaochu with a smile: "You have to persuade me to come out with the prince. What, are you at ease?" Xiaochu smiled in panic and hadn't said anything. Chu Huaixian frowned unabashedly and said to the housekeeper of the Du family, "It's getting late. Send your girl back." I have something to do today. I'm resting outside the city.
This frown made Du Yingzhu's heart panic. Hearing Chu Huaixian's words, it was even more difficult to hide his thoughts and glance at Xiaochu's face. Chu Huaixian ignored her and said softly to Xiaochu, "Let's not go back. Sit down and continue to drink yours."
Miss Du was embarrassed here and suddenly turned red...
