Chapter 165
The day finally ushered in the Autumn Hunting Sacrifice.
Luo Chaoyan learned from Madam Huo that it would take a long time to offer sacrifices to the emperor, so she was not in a hurry to leave for the royal hunting ground. Anyway, Lianzhuang is not far from the hunting ground.
Huo Rui and Huo An really wanted to go and watch the fun, but seeing that she didn't go, they had to hold back and wait.
Luo Chaoyan said to them earnestly, "We must keep calm when encountering problems and not be anxious!"
Huo Rui rolled his eyes at her. Although he spoke in such a high-sounding manner, he actually just didn't want to go too early and kneel down to perform the sacrificial ceremony. But unexpectedly, my great-grandmother was actually convinced by her.
Huo An tilted his head and said, "Mother, when are we going?"
Luo Chaoyan looked out the window and said, "Let's go at Yi time." At Yi time, the sacrifice would definitely be over, and they would not have to follow those tedious sacrificial rituals.
…
Royal Hunting Ground
Yin Miaoshan, Luo Chaoning and Su Qian looked around among the crowd of female relatives, but they couldn't find Luo Chaoyan.
Su Qian frowned and said, "Why hasn't Sister Luo come yet?"
"Yes, the sacrificial ceremony is over, why hasn't my cousin come yet?" Luo Chaoning said.
Su Qian said: "Sister Luo won't come, will she?"
Yin Miaoshan shook her head and said, "Probably not. My cousin hasn't seen your autumn hunt in Kyoto yet. She will definitely come over to join in the fun."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Luo Chaoyan following behind Old Madam Huo and Madam Huo.
After Luo Chaoyan followed the old lady and mother-in-law to entertain those ladies from aristocratic families, she brought Huo An towards them.
"Cousin!" Yin Miaoshan waved at her.
When Luo Chaoyan and Huo An came up to them, Su Qian asked, "Sister Luo, why did you come so late?"
Luo Chaoyan chuckled and said, "I was delayed for a while because of something."
Huo An's lips twitched when he heard this, and he didn't know who was reading the storybook leisurely in the room just now.
He bowed obediently to Yin Miaoshan and others.
Yin Miaoshan smiled and rubbed his little head, saying, "An An, have you grown taller?"
Huo An's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Aunt Shan, are you serious?"
As he said this, he turned to look at Luo Chaoyan and said, "Mother, look, indeed, I started to grow taller after I ate one more chicken leg." The implication was that if he wanted him to grow taller, he had to eat more.
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why don't you say that you started to grow taller after I told you to eat more vegetarian food." Only a balanced diet can help you grow taller, right? Don't try to fool her.
So the mother and son started another verbal battle, and of course Luo Chaoyan won in the end.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "An'an, when you return to your normal weight, you can eat whatever you want. Mother will never stop you."
Huo An's face immediately fell. It was difficult for him to lose weight because he was greedy.
"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. Mother believes you can do it." Luo Chaoyan encouraged.
Huo An gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, I will eat less meat starting tomorrow." Not today! Today's is an all-meat feast, he can't miss it.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Okay, no problem!"
Su Qian smiled and said, "Sister Luo, I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing kids!" Step-sons and step-mothers have always been incompatible since ancient times, but Sister Luo gets along very well with the two young masters of the Huo family.
"You don't know, my cousin is very good at fooling people. My two naughty nephews were completely fooled by her." Yin Miaoshan said with a smile.
Luo Chaoning nodded and said, "My cousin is indeed good at fooling people."
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at them and said, "What do you mean by fooling people? I mean being smart."
…
After Huo Rui arrived at the hunting ground, he did not go with Luo Chaoyan and others to the women's side. He waited for Huo Yu and others under a big tree in the hunting ground.
Soon Huo Yu and the others came over.
"Boss!"
Huo Ze and Huo Shun walked towards Huo Rui happily.
Huo Rui said: "Why are you so slow?"
Huo Shun glared at Huo Yu unhappily and said, "It's Huo Yu all the same. He insists on solving a math problem before he's willing to leave." As a result, they accompanied him and missed the sacrifice.
Huo Yu said without any shame, "You should thank me for saving you from suffering."
"What do you mean?" Huo Shun said.
Huo Yu said: "There are many rules for sacrifice, and you have to keep kowtowing and kneeling. You can avoid it if you come later. It won't delay the autumn hunt anyway."
Huo Rui's face twitched when he heard this. Is this what all lazy people think? The mother is, and so is Huo Yu.
Seeing that he was staring at him, Huo Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong, Huo Rui? You don't recognize me after just a few days? Or do you miss me?"
"I miss you!" Huo Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Huo Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Probably not?!"
Huo Rui said: "Liang Chumo told me everything."
Huo Yu then understood and said, "Oh, I remember now. Liang Chumo gave me a Luban lock. If you want to play with it, I'll lend it to you later."
Huo Rui said: "Is it for you?" This guy is indeed thicker-skinned than the city wall.
"You're not the one who cheated them?"
Huo Yu waved his hand and said, "I am an honest and kind-hearted child. How could I do such a thing?"
Honest and kind? It was obviously caused by selling his embarrassing stories.
Huo Rui looked at him in disbelief and said, "Huo Yu, do you know what your mother thinks of you?"
Huo Yu said without hesitation: "Smart!"
"Wrong!" Huo Rui said: "It's cunning - black fox!"
Huo Yu smiled and didn't refute it. He just thought he was praising him.
Huo Rui asked: "Do you want to go see the Liang family army?"
Huo Ze smiled and said, "Okay!"
Huo Shun also expressed his desire to go.
Only Huo Yu looked uninterested. He raised his hand, yawned, and said, "Then you guys go. I won't go." He had no interest in the army.
"By the way, where is your mother?" He wanted to ask her some arithmetic problems.
Huo Rui pointed in the direction of the female relatives and said, "Over there with the female relatives, they should be with Aunt Shan and the others now."
Huo Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll go over."
…
After Luo Chaoyan chatted with Yin Miaoshan and others for a while, Yin Miaoshan and others went riding and hunting with other enthusiastic female relatives.
Luo Chaoyan's horse riding skills were just good enough. She just wanted to wait until there were fewer people around and then ride a horse to have a good look around the royal hunting ground. As for hunting, she was not very interested in it.
"lady!"
Huo Yu bowed to him.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Why did you come here? Didn't you see Huo Rui and the others?"
Huo Yu waved his hand and said, "They want to go see the army. I'm not interested."
Luo Chaoyan shook her head and sighed, saying: "Huo Yu, you are so mature at such a young age, I'm afraid you won't be able to please the girl in the future."
Huo Yu thought for a moment and said, "No, a rare black fox like me is popular everywhere."
Luo Chaoyan smacked her lips, then said seriously, "Huo Yu, didn't anyone tell you that you can't be blindly confident?"
Huo An covered his mouth and said, "Mother, is Brother Yu the narcissist you mentioned?"
Huo Yu was stunned. "Narcissist?"
"Yes, it means being proud, conceited and cocky." Huo An explained kindly.
