Chapter 44: Autumn hunt


The autumn wind, not early or late, just drifted into the holy city like this, blowing the old locust tree in the backyard of the tea house, the withered leaves on the books were all over the ground, and the rhubarb was lying on the ground gnawing beans The ribs thrown out by the bean screamed, Yu Yu squatted under the locust tree with a bowl of braised ribs noodles, sipping the noodle soup.
   Doudou is wearing a brand new autumn dress, high-end ready-made clothes bought from Ruifengtang. There is a saying in the holy city that he wears Ruifengtang's ready-made clothes, boots on Baoluchuan, and a hat of Harmony on his head. These are three big pieces, including the rouge from Yunjinfang, the jewelry from Laojinfang, and the jade from Longbaozhai. These are only those who have status and status in the holy city can wear them. Originally, after getting rich, Yu Yu wanted to buy Doudou for everything, but Doudou said that he would wait for the house to get it, not too late. Without a house, she was so flustered that Yu Yu had no choice but to give up, but she still bought Doudou two of the best and most expensive garments from Ruifengtang.
   At this time Doudou was sitting on a stool at the door of the kitchen, eating noodles quietly.
   It's been two days since I came back from school.
   During the few days in the university, Li Xinrui pestered him to study calligraphy every day. Yu Yu was a little bit too much to bear this eldest lady. She was too serious and had to come back. After meeting that "elder sister" that night, when I went to the riverside in the evening, Yu Yu found that the beautiful elder sister was not waiting for him there. Extremely disappointed, Yu Yu had to face reality and finally confirmed that his charm was not as strong as he thought. The afternoon sun was already very soft, and it quietly shot down from the roof, casting a straight ray, and the dust in the beam of light was misty.
   "Master, my brother asked, what should I do with those who hide around our yard all day?" Doudou asked in a low voice while eating the noodles.
Xiaobaiyu often comes here. When Yu Yu is away, Xiaobaiyu usually stays with Doudou in the teahouse during the day. Originally, the teahouse could not be opened during this time because the place was occupied by the favor of the queen mother, but Doudou Thinking that it is not practical to sit and eat in the mountains every day, Doudou cleaned up a room next to the kitchen, moved in with Xiaobaiyu, and freed up the teahouse. Business as usual. It's just that business is not good as always.
   Yu Yu did not speak, took a big mouthful of the noodle soup, wiped his mouth, stood up, walked to the kitchen, and said as he walked, "This matter, it's better to stay still, I want to see what they want to do?"
   "Oh" Doudou leaned over and passed Yu Yu, and then said, "Brother said, if you don't make any decisions, he will kill those people. I think my brother is a little impatient!"
"You must not kill!" Yu Yu put down the bowl, walked out of the kitchen, stood in the yard, stretched a long waist. "Among those people, I am afraid that there are people from the government. If they don't figure it out, they will kill them. They may not be able to explain. I killed Situ Nan in the Wangjiang Tower that day, and I am still regretting it! Besides, I am now a loyal prince named by the emperor Lao Zi, so I can't act so casually, no!"
   Doudou stopped talking, picked up the bowl, stepped into the kitchen, ready to wash!
   Yu Yu just pulled the chair and wanted to lie down. Suddenly there was a sound of carriages and horses outside, followed by a man in a purple eunuch's palace holding a yellow imperial decree and walked in.
Yu Yu hates this kind of thing, because seeing it is equivalent to seeing the emperor. That is to kneel down and worship. The students of the academy usually kneel down when they see the emperor outside, not to mention such formal occasions, and come with imperial decree. , Not bowing down, is tantamount to rebelling against the Great Yan Kingdom.
   Doudou saw that the walked into the yard, and quickly closed the kitchen door, hiding in the kitchen by himself!
   Yu Yu had no choice but to think of a way to get rid of this thing, it was too uncomfortable. For a modern person with a very advanced consciousness, he is still very resistant to this thing.
   The situation is better than the others, Yu Yu still pretended to be respectful and listened to the eunuch's voice and read the imperial edict. Only then did I know what was going on.
It turns out that the country of Yan has always retained the habit of autumn hunting. At this time, it is almost late autumn, which is a good time for autumn hunting. Qin Tianjian made another explanation. In the past half month, there has been no autumn rain in the holy city, and it will not work for a while, Qiu Yu Once, winter is immediately followed.
   So the emperor decided three days later, that is, the 25th year of Yan Guoxuanwei, the beginning of autumn hunting on October 3, a total of half a month, the end of the 18th! Location, Donghuangshan. Donghuang Mountain is about two hundred miles away from the holy city! Not too far, but not very close either.
   After receiving the imperial decree, Yu Yu stretched out his hand and took out a two hundred taels of silver slip from his pocket and handed it to the who preached the decree. The money is not much, it expresses a meaning, which is respect for the eunuch. After reading so many history books, Yu Yu knows well that people who deal with the emperor will not end well if they can’t get through with the eunuch!
   The eunuch's name is Yang Hong, about forty years old. Seeing the bank note, Yang Hong pretended to resign, happily put it in his pocket and thanked Yu Yu.
Yu Yu is not too clear. The Great Yan Kingdom has been suppressing eunuchs. This emperor has deprived the eunuchs of all rights. They are all reduced to real slaves. They are inside the palace and outside, the highest eunuch. First, the salary for a year is only a poor six hundred taels of silver. What the emperor meant was that the eunuchs were living in the palace, so why did they ask for so much money?
   But the eunuchs are also humans, and they have to eat and dress. They also have relatives in their hometown, and they also need money. However, due to the emperor’s dislike, the ministers did not treat the eunuchs much. Today, as Zhongyihou, Yu Yu greeted Yang Hong with a smile and gave him two hundred taels of silver. Yang Hong was really happy. Most importantly, Yu Yu helped him find his presence!
   "Master, did you give that person two hundred taels of silver!" Doudou asked Yu Yu who was standing in the yard while washing the dishes.
   "How do you know?!" Yu Yu was surprised.
   "I only gave you a two-hundred-tael banknote a few days ago, and you didn't take any more, so the banknote that was given to him today must be the two-hundred-tael banknote!" Doudou said angrily.
   "Ahem, this is a relationship, don't you understand it? If you mess with the emperor in the future, those people around him can't be offended!" Yu Yu explained.
   "Then you give a two taels...oh no, twenty taels of silver tickets will do!" Doudou was very dissatisfied.
"You girl, I am a Marquis of Zhongyi now, Marquis of Zhongyi, I am a Marquis, don't you know? I want to be magnificent, magnificent, really.! When will you learn to be magnificent like the young master and me?!" Yu Yu said with an old-fashioned voice The lines, while looking at the imperial edict, Xindao has been in October, and it has been more than half a year since I came to the Holy City without realizing it.
   "Doudou, I'll go to Wangjiang Tower later, are you going?" Yu Yu poked his head through the kitchen window and said to Doudou with his face.
   Doudou didn't look at him, and simply said "No!"
   "Oh, okay, okay, then you give me some money!"
   "Master, are you going to find girl Rouzhi?" Doudou wiped two hands on her apron and asked with a flushed face.
   "No, no, master, I have business to do today, there is business!"
"It's not Rouzhi girl, that's Rongniang!" Doudou said in a low voice, lifted her apron and took out two hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Yu Yu. "Master, how much do you have to ask about your salary in the future?" , Otherwise it's so expensive, what shall we do in the days to come?"
"Well, yes, it's time to ask!" Yu Yu took the silver ticket, put it in his pocket, put the imperial decree, lifted the spear under the old locust tree, and said to Doudou, "Doudou, master, I'm leaving. what!"
   Seeing Doudou did not speak, Yu Yu coughed dryly and strode towards Wangjiang Tower!
   Qifeng Street and Wangjiang Tower are actually very far apart, but Yu Yu's footsteps are very fast, even without effort, he can walk dozens of miles in a short time.
  When he came to Wangjiang Tower, Yu Yu did not look for Rouzhi or Rongniang, but went directly to Lord Ning Yue. Just like he said to Doudou, he came to Wangjiang Tower, there is indeed something serious!
"What's the matter with me?" Ning Yue was wearing a light yellow long dress, with her eyebrows curled up, her lips were lighter, her temples and a strand of black silk hanging down to her temples, her white face was as calm as ever , As if the ancient well does not wave.
  Although it looks like a person of nearly forty years old, Ning Yue’s charm is unique. It is the beauty of mature women and has the lethal power to appeal to men of any age.
   Although I have met several times, every time I saw Ning Yue, Yu Yu couldn't help his heartbeat speed up and his blood rose. Suppressing his stubborn thoughts, Yu Yu hurriedly said carefully, "I'm here today, I want to ask Master Ning Yue for advice!"
   "I don't dare to be a loyal man, you are a loyal prince, what do you say for advice!" Ning Yue glanced at Yu Yu, apparently knowing about his being named a loyal prince. But the attitude is obviously not so impressed.
   Yu Yu said with a dry smile, "Lord Ning Yue laughed, I am here today, I really want to ask you for advice!"
   Ningyue nodded and said sternly, "What's the matter with you, let's talk!"
   "I just got the imperial decree, the emperor asked me to hunt together, not to accompany, but to hunt together!" Yu Yu explained the contents of the imperial decree in detail. After listening to it, Ning Yue frowned, her expression a little confused.
   "Are you going hunting?" Ning Yue looked at Yu Yu, speechless for a long time.
   Autumn hunting in the Great Yan Kingdom, few people in Yan Kingdom don't know about it. In autumn, the emperor will take the prince, prince, and little prince to hunt together, accompanied by ministers. However, both civil officials and military generals were only accompanied and did not participate in hunting. The one who really participated in hunting was the royal nest! Donghuangshan is an imperial garden, where there are not only some raptors and exotic animals, but also many grazing beasts. There is half a month for hunting every year.
   Of course, this is not necessarily true. There are also some emperors who do not like this event, and if the weather is bad, or if something major happens in the middle of Korea in autumn, this event will be cancelled. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com last year, the year before last, that is, the twenty-fourth and twenty-three years of Yan Guoxuanwei, hunting was not held for some other reasons.
   But, anyway, this event is a royal event. In other words, it's a field outing where the whole family cultivates feelings, and you come in with an outsider. What's the matter?
   There are very few precedents! Occasionally, those who have made significant contributions to the court and have been officials in the court for many years can enjoy this treatment.
   This is a grace, although it is just for fun, but being able to participate in it shows that this person has been appreciated by the emperor!
   Yu Yu knows these things. At that time, the first thought that came to his mind was the queen mother. Maybe it was because the queen mother's condition was cured by blood ginseng, so the emperor let himself go to the hunt, but after thinking about it carefully, it was wrong. The emperor has already rewarded himself about blood ginseng?
   "You tell me why you were named a loyal marquise by the emperor!" Ning Yue looked at Yu Yu and asked for a long time.
   Yu Yu didn't think much. Originally, this matter was not really a big secret. The emperor had already said it before. It is estimated that many people in the holy city knew that they had exchanged blood ginseng for a marquis. Moreover, without any reason, he felt that Ning Yue was a trustworthy person, just like seeing Xiaobaiyu that day and thinking that he was a trustworthy person.
After speaking briefly, Ning Yue’s face became a little ugly, and she said to herself with a wry smile, "Monk, I didn’t expect that the monk would have a chance to encounter such an adventure. A single ginseng can live for 10,000 years, and it can still People come back to life and increase their life span! It's ridiculous, ridiculous, thinking about me back then, it’s ridiculous!"
   Yu Yu was taken aback, his chin almost hit the foot!
   Nima, this Lord Ning Yue is definitely a person with a story!
