Chapter 160: Spring Outing
Jiang Zifeng was not beaten.
Her mother is still reasonable about some things.
"Do you know how many experts are hiding in that house? If you go there like this, have you thought about the consequences? What if you get caught and no one knows where you are going? How can your aunt and I save you?"
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Lu Qingyao called her two sons.
The second one seems to be devoted to reading books of sages and philosophers, and has no idea what is happening outside, but his mind is as clear as a mirror and he knows everything.
The eldest brother is a straightforward person. The tricks he and Cui Xingzhou used couldn't even fool the younger one, let alone her mother.
Jiang Zifeng lowered his head and said, "Mom, I understand. I will tell you in advance before I go out next time."
What my mother said makes a lot of sense. The water in that village is very deep. If they go there rashly, they may never come back.
Next time you go out, you should leave a letter for your mother.
Lu Qingyao: ...
Is that what I mean?
I just want this guy not to go.
"Feng'er, I mean for you not to act rashly." Lu Qingyao rubbed his forehead.
"I understand, Mom. I won't act rashly. I will definitely ask you or Aunt Xiuxiu to come with me next time." Jiang Zifeng thought his mother's idea was great. Anyway, they couldn't go alone.
Jiang Ziyan scoffed and brought a cup of tea to comfort her mother, "Don't worry, mother. I'll take care of my eldest brother."
After hearing what the second brother said, Lu Qingyao’s headache didn’t hurt as much anymore.
Jiang Miaomiao was sitting on a small cushion playing tangram. When she looked up, she saw her mother rubbing her temples.
He let out a long sigh.
Hey! Big brother has pissed off mom again.
An uneasy baby...
The next morning.
The spring breeze blows, birds sing and flowers bloom.
Orioles and swallows are singing, and the flowing water under the small bridge is red. [1]
Jiang Miaomiao was pulled out of bed by her mother while she was still sleeping.
My brothers have a day off today and are going out for a spring outing.
It can also be considered as taking Sister Qiaoer out to relax.
Mother, Aunt Xiuxiu, elder and second brothers, sister Qiaoer, sister Yuan, Sun Yanshu, a large group of people.
The girls all crowded into a carriage, chattering excitedly, while the rest of the people all rode horses.
Aunt Xiuxiu asked Princess Rong'an: Why didn't Princess Liang, Prince Liang and Master Cui come?
Apart from anything else, the young master of the Cui family is a well-known playboy in Jiangzhou. How can he be absent from horse riding, flower appreciating and Cuju?
It’s strange that you didn’t come today for the first time.
Princess Rong'an said that her mother and brother were busy with the accounts. They had to check all the accounts of the farms and shops in Jiangzhou over the years and were very busy.
Her father was unable to manage affairs, so all matters, big and small, in Liang Province and the Prince of Liang's Palace had to be handled by her mother and brother, who were so busy that they were nowhere to be seen all day.
Cui Xingzhou's theft of the Ferghana horse was discovered by his father. Prefect Cui disliked him for being idle and energetic, so he forced him to work as a laborer in the government office.
Worked as a temporary worker.
Now he has become a temporary captain of the government office, patrolling the streets and alleys.
But this was exactly what he wanted.
As for little Cao Jiayue, she didn't dare to see Miaomiao.
I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to catch butterflies in my own garden.
King Jing took on the responsibility of teaching her and taking care of King Liang, and read poems to them in his free time to entertain them.
They are just one big and one small, and they are pronounced differently.
Children recite "Three Character Classic" and adults recite "Book of Songs".
Then the children and adults fell asleep.
Princess Rong'an felt that her nephew was doing it on purpose. Every time he recited the scriptures, he could make people fall asleep, but he still had to recite them every time.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. It turned out that King Jing had this side to him.
Looking at Sister Yuan who was laughing so hard that her arms and legs were spread out, Jiang Miaomiao felt that her illness had been cured.
Maybe she wasn't sick at all.
But now Sister Fu Yuan seems to have grown up in her house and comes to see her every day.
She doesn't have any airs of a princess at all.
Laughter and joy all the way.
Those who were sick have recovered greatly.
She was crying yesterday, but now she is laughing heartily.
The carriage drove into a farm, which had not only fields but also large grasslands.
Horses are running riot, and cattle and sheep are in herds.
The horses are all good ones and they have been there forever.
My mother brought the cattle and sheep in later.
My mother took my brothers to play polo, and because there were not enough people, she called the tenants of the farm.
Princess Rong'an cheered for them.
Her mother would let her play from time to time and teach her some polo skills.
Jiang Miaomiao discovered that this sport is a combination of equestrianism, batting and brain strategy.
Of course, to learn how to play polo, you first have to learn how to ride a horse.
Princess Rong'an already knew some of it, and most women from large families also knew some of it.
My mother said that there would be a Cuju competition in the palace every year, and princesses and young ladies from wealthy families would also participate.
The polo field became one of the very few ways for young men and women to meet each other.
Of course, mother didn’t ask them to come and see me today.
But if they want to see each other, there is no way to stop them.
Aunt Xiuxiu set out the tea, snacks and fruit plates, gave Sister Qiaoer a few words of instruction, and then disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Miaomiao fell into Sister Qiaoer's arms.
"Sister Qiao, where's my aunt? Where did she go?"
"She went to the forest over there to pick wild fruits and hunt rabbits. We will be able to eat roasted rabbit soon." Jiang Qiaoer swallowed.
He took out the kite and flew it with the little girl. After all, they were the only two people at the scene who couldn't ride a horse or play ball.
Children love the large lawns and herds of cattle and sheep.
You can roll around on it as much as you want.
You can let yourself go.
"Miaomiao, be careful not to roll in cow dung." Sister Qiaoer said suddenly.
The little girl suddenly felt that the grassland was no longer fragrant.
I want to go see the cattle and sheep.
Climbed onto Jiang Xiaobai's back.
Princess Rong'an saw two figures, one big and one small, chasing cattle and sheep. The little white wolf was carrying the little girl, and after running for a while, it turned back to wait for Qiao'er.
It looks quite interesting.
She rode her horse after them and pulled Qiao'er onto her horse.
Several people chased after him.
Entered a forest next to the grassland.
As they ran, the girls disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Mom, my sister and the others are missing." Jiang Ziyan was the first to notice.
My sister was chasing sheep just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?
"Go find them quickly, they are over there." Lu Qingyao saw a red dot in the woods from afar.
Jiang Miaomiao discovered that there were bamboo shoots and bamboo fungi in the forest, but no one picked them, which was a bit of a waste.
Sister Qiao'er also saw the bamboo shoots and said, "Let's pick some bamboo shoots and take them back. We can build a bonfire and make bamboo shoot and bamboo shoot soup later."
Fresh bamboo fungus soup tastes delicious too.
Paired with Aunt Xiuxiu’s roasted rabbit and roasted pheasant, it becomes another delicious dish.
Today's lunch is settled.
Princess Rong'an was very excited. It was her first time experiencing this kind of life, and it was like discovering a new world.
The three of them began to search in the woods.
The child was not interested in looking for bamboo shoots or anything like that, she was looking for small insects.
Her eldest brother made her a small bamboo tube specifically for crickets and insects.
In fact, she wanted to find bamboo worms, a kind of small insects that can be fried and eaten, hidden in bamboo joints.
Fragrant and crispy.
It’s a pity that it’s not the season yet, so we have to wait until autumn to catch insects.
However, when she was near a cave, she found some shiny things in the grass.
