So for three consecutive days, Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi searched for martens and foxes in the hunting forest.
On the second day of the autumn hunt, they didn't find any minks or foxes, so each of them killed a nest of rabbits and left the hunting forest.
Some people wanted to laugh at them when they saw them, but when they thought of what the two had done yesterday, they forced themselves to hold back their laughter.
Only Gao Rui walked up to them and laughed boldly, "Why did you two only catch one nest of rabbits? Is it because everyone else has hunted all the prey in the forest?"
Yu Tanqi said seriously, "Because bunnies are cute."
"What?"
Gao Rui looked at the white rabbit held in Yu Tanqi's arms and suddenly thought of something. "You girls seem to like these white, furry little animals very much. How about this, Miss Yu, I'll trade my prey for a little white rabbit with you?"
He pointed to a cage behind him that was half a man's height and filled with prey.
"Pick any one you like."
Yu Tanqi asked curiously, "Why do you want to exchange a little white rabbit with me?"
Gao Rui raised the corners of his lips, his expression surprisingly gentle, "I want to give it to Yingluo."
"Oh, no need to change it. It's just a little white rabbit. Here you go." Yu Tanqi said generously.
Gao Rui insisted, "No, we must exchange prey, so that this little white rabbit can be considered as a gift from me to Yingluo."
"All right."
Yu Tanqi expressed his understanding, saying that it was like this during the honeymoon period.
Jiang Shi is the same. He wants to make everything by hand and then give it to her.
Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi brought out seven rabbits, all of them were cubs, two white, two gray and two yellow, very evenly distributed.
She thought heartlessly that the rabbit couple who went out hunting must have felt like the sky had fallen and their home had been robbed when they came back.
However, female rabbits have two uteruses and strong reproductive capacity, and can almost always be pregnant. This litter of six is probably the smallest number ever.
The female rabbit will be able to give birth to another litter in one or two months.
So you shouldn't be too angry if you lose your first baby.
Yu Tanqi comforted himself with a clear conscience.
She has never eaten rabbit meat, but she has heard that it is not tasty and has little nutritional value.
After much thought, she decided to raise the rabbit and fatten it up first.
Gao Rui later wanted to change to a yellow rabbit of a different gender from the white rabbit.
So Yu Tanqi only had four rabbits left, two of which belonged to Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Da Fu and Xiaomi now have four more playmates."
Yu Tanqi was a little worried: "I'm afraid they will eat the rabbit as food."
Jiang Shi soothed him, "Tell the servants to watch carefully and make sure the rabbits are not eaten by them."
Yu Tanqi nodded, relieved, "That's right."
This is the benefit of having money.
With so many servants, you can have as many pets as you want, since you don't have to raise them yourself.
Moreover, cats and dogs are a bit smart and know who their owner is. They will not lose sight of their real owner just because servants take care of them all day long.
…
On the third day of the autumn hunt, Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi brought out two nests of quail eggs.
Yu Tanqi likes to eat quail eggs, so he cooked them that night and put them in the hot pot.
It tastes really good.
I'll go to the forest to dig out bird nests tomorrow.
whee.
On the fourth day of the autumn hunt, Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi walked deeper into the hunting forest and finally found a fox.
It is a beautiful white fox.
Hiding in the bushes to rest.
Jiang Shi pulled the bow and arrow and shot the white fox quickly, fiercely and accurately.
Finally, they hunted a decent prey. After making sure that the white fox was dead, Jiang Shi held it in his hand.
On the way back, Jiang Shi did not forget to help Yu Tanqi clean out the bird's nest on the tree.
It was not yet late autumn, and it was not too cold, so the quails had not yet flown south for the winter.
In winter, there are no quail in the forest.
There are no quail eggs either.
Therefore, Yu Tanqi had to eat enough before winter came.
On the fifth day of the autumn hunt, they finally found a sable and successfully shot one.
During the last two days of the autumn hunt, the two men concentrated on finding bird nests in the hunting forest, and even did not miss the eggs of other birds.
Of course, they are not the only ones who are robbing bird nests. There are many other people who are also robbing bird nests, and they will occasionally run into each other.
When these people saw the gentle Jiang Shi climbing up the tree to rob a bird's nest, their eyes widened and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"Is that Jiang Shi? Am I seeing things right?"
"You're not mistaken, I saw him too."
"What is he doing? Robbing a bird's nest? Is this something he would do? Why can't I believe it?"
"Jiang Shi's fiancée is here too. It's Jiang Shi. It turns out that Jiang Shi really did pick all the bird eggs from the tree by himself these past few days."
Everyone was shocked, amazed, and couldn't believe it.
Jiang Shi remained calm and composed, ignoring their gazes and comments.
There are many bird nests in the hunting forest, but not every nest contains bird eggs.
By the seventh day of the autumn hunt, they had difficulty finding bird nests with eggs.
Yu Tanqi didn't feel sorry. She and Jiang Shi had collected a lot of bird eggs in the past few days. Eating twenty or thirty birds every day would be enough for three to five days.
After returning to Wu'an Marquis Mansion after the autumn hunt, Gao Rui quickly sent Bai Yingluo to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Only then did Yu Tanqi see with his own eyes Bai Yingluo, Gao Rui's official partner in the original novel. Just as described in the book, although Bai Yingluo was not a beauty that could topple a country, she had a pair of round, deer-like eyes, fair skin, and a gentle beauty of a beautiful girl from a small family.
Among the many proud and beautiful noble ladies in the capital, Bai Yingluo's image and temperament are also very outstanding, which makes people shine.
Although it was not her first time to come to such a magnificent mansion, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was also a completely unfamiliar place to Bai Yingluo. She stood behind Gao Rui nervously, looking at Yu Tanqi curiously.
Gao Rui solemnly told Yu Tanqi, "Please help take care of Yingluo. I will visit her often."
Yu Tanqi nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take good care of Yingluo."
Bai Yingluo smiled with her curved brows and lips, and she quickly smiled back, thinking that this Miss Yu was really as the prince said, a girl who was very easy to get along with.
Because Bai Yingluo had no brothers or sisters and only had a father at home, Gao Rui could not visit her home often. He was afraid that her neighbors would gossip about her and make her unhappy, so he thought of sending her to live in Wu'an Marquis Mansion temporarily so that he could visit her openly.
Soon it was November and winter was coming. Frost gathered on the leaves in the early morning and the breath began to turn white in the air.
Bai Yingluo has been taken away by Gao Rui, because the emperor finally agreed to their marriage and issued an edict to grant the marriage, and the wedding was completed on December 12th.
Yu Tanqi still lived a leisurely life every day. During the day, he lay in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, eating, drinking and having fun. In the afternoon, he waited for Jiang Shi to come back, and the two of them practiced spear or hawk training together.
The falcon training of more than half a year has been very effective, and the blue eagle has already recognized Yu Tanqi as its master.
In late November, Gao Rui delivered the invitation to Jiang Shi in person, with a bright and comfortable smile on his handsome face.
"I'm sorry, dear brother, but I got married before you. You and your future sister-in-law must come to my wedding with your sister-in-law."
