Chapter 35 A(1/2)

 The deer are on the run!

The deer looked back from time to time to check whether it had thrown away the enemy.

The moment it turned back, a sudden arrow hit its right eye. The arrow passed through the back of its head and opened the skull of the deer.

The deer suddenly fell to the ground and was thrown seven or eight feet away. The whole deer kept twitching and its limbs were twisted.

When his herd of deer saw their leader dead, they immediately dispersed and fled in all directions. Little did they know that they had entered a network of sieges.

"Okay!" A group of soldiers behind him cheered loudly, but Jia Hui ignored it. He took out another arrow, passed the deer carcass on the ground, and chased another strong stag.

Angry!

Since he poisoned Jia Zhu three days ago, a few beasts called him out to drink flower wine that night. When he was so dizzy, he seemed to have said that he was going to take his girl on an outing the day after tomorrow. Several beasts said that they wanted to go out too.

Take the girl you like with you.

There aren’t many people anyway, so just go and it’ll be more lively.

As expected, something unexpected happened.

When I went out this morning, I was still wondering why Nancheng was so congested. Who would have thought that Nanhaizi, which is usually empty, was overcrowded today.

Those animals turned the outing into a blind date convention!

Yesterday, there were rumors in the capital that the young nobles who had recently been knighted were coming to Nanhaizi for an outing, and they sincerely invited the young girls who were about to be married to join. It was originally nothing, but when the news came that His Highness Prince Yiyong was also coming to support him.

After word spread, the outing suddenly became the top social venue!

Well, now, most of the unmarried young masters and ladies from noble families have arrived, not to mention the children of middle and low-level official families who want to find a golden son-in-law to further their studies. Even if they can't catch a lord, they can still get one from their boss's family.

The young master and the young lady are also good, it can be said that they are all in love!

When the emperor found out about this in the morning, he just said "I'm free" and gave Chen Jingyuan an order to organize young talents to go hunting in the park, and then he didn't take any action.

The so-called smart man who had been waiting and watching immediately relaxed and let his son and daughter go to Nanhaizi. Until almost noon, people continued to arrive.

Jia Hui and his beloved wife’s fantasy of having their children around their knees in advance was completely shattered.

It’s a shame that I even called Shang Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun here today!

After cursing and beating the animals, I felt much better.

However, the emperor issued the decree, so we had no choice but to comply with it.

Seeing that the crowd had reached a certain size, Jia Hui decided not to wait any longer and start spring hunting!

After a winter of consumption, there is not much meat left on the animals, but it has been two months since spring started, and it has recovered somewhat.

Spring hunting is "search".

Everyone is lucky. Nanhaizi has been closed to hunting for three years since the first year of Tiansheng, and we found a herd of deer after walking a few steps.

Jia Hui took the lead and rushed out holding a stone bow.

The three-stone bow used in war can be used to shoot a rabbit in half.

The deer was killed with the first arrow. Jia Hui ignored the prey underground and jumped over the deer on the ground, chasing the next target.

Two of the soldiers behind him stopped, put the deer on their horses and went back.

Naturally, the deer needs to be processed. I walked to the river and processed the deer that I had brought, and then returned with the divided venison.

The girls of the Jia family are already preparing to eat. Of course, the young ladies and Li Shao are at the playful age. Maza ran to play with other children before he sat down in the hot pot. Today, many children came to Nanhaizi.

.

On the Jia family's territory, only Yuan Chun, Li Wan, Li Peilan and Wang Xifeng were busy working there.

Her pretty face was covered with beads of sweat, giving her a unique flavor.

Several young masters wanted to get acquainted with some girls, but as soon as they reached the small slope, they were chased away by fierce soldiers. Just as they were about to argue, the soldiers pointed at the Jia Zi Ya flag behind them, looking dejected.

is gone.

"You damn Chen Si, you ruined my good deeds!"

"Ah!!!"

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Jia Hui, who was chasing deer in the forest, met Chen Jingyuan who was resting in an open space in the forest.

Seeing that Chen Jingyuan was about to run away, Jia Hui jumped off the horse and threw Chen Jingyuan to the ground with a flying jump.

Chen Jingyuan, who was originally unable to get in with three or five big men, was unable to resist under Jia Hui's suppression.

"Stop, stop, stop. I was wrong, you start first!"

After all, he was now a prince. Jia Hui snorted coldly, gave him face, and pulled him up from the ground.

Chen Si patted the dust on his body, took a few deep breaths, and then spoke.

"It's not like the brothers don't have wives yet. I heard that you were going to Nanhaizi for an outing the other day. Together, the brothers should make more friends to go on a blind date."

"Wait a minute, a blind date? I remember that Lao Niu and Lao Shi's families had already set their sights on him, right?"

"Hey, you've been hosting casual banquets and meeting beauties these past few days, so how can you still have the energy to care about the suffering of us bachelors?

Lao Niu's family gave him a daughter-in-law, but they were in the west at that time. It's not like you don't know about the portrait. If you give me a little more money, Empress Wuyan can paint you a Xishi. That woman also came a few days ago.

The Duke of Zhenguo met Niu Zhao, guess what?"

"What's the matter? It's ugly?"

"Isn't it enough just to be ugly? That woman..."

"More than half of that woman's palm-sized face is covered with black birthmarks. That's fine. I wouldn't pick on a nice guy, but he still has a slanted eye!"

Niu Zhao also walked to this open space.

"Forget it if you look sideways, I, Lao Niu, am not the kind of person to look for skin. After all, if you marry a wife and a talented person, you will probably go out to drink wine, but do you know what she said when she saw me?"

"What?" Jia Hui became interested.

"She said that I was greedy for her dowry! She said that my whole town and the government were in ruins, and I relied on her dowry to maintain my dignity. She said it as if I had married lowly!

I have a bad relationship with my aunt. Originally, she wanted this girl to marry me because she wanted to disgust me and make it difficult for people to find fault. After all, her dowry was really thick, three million taels of silver. I can’t be reasonable.

I almost agreed..."

Niu Zhao's old face turned red.

"But who would have thought that my aunt was so disgusted that she acted like she didn't know how to take care of the house? Her expression was so dark that it almost caught up with you...you are such a dark horse. It made me laugh to death. I

Her aunt kicked her out on the spot. Fortunately, it was a verbal agreement, otherwise she would have been in trouble.

When I first got engaged, I was just a junior captain. Marrying her was really like eating soft rice. But it’s different now. Brother, I am also an earl, and my father is only on the same level as me! How can I marry someone like this?

Character?

My father couldn’t keep it off anymore and said he didn’t care about my marriage and let me choose it myself.”

Niu Zhao laughed.

"Then, Lao Shi is in the same situation?"

"No, the one from Lao Shi ran away in the first half of last year. The woman's mother-in-law didn't even look for her, so she just passed by just to fool her. Anyway, it was just a verbal agreement. Her mother-in-law's family had passed down poems and books for generations, and they didn't even look at them.

Taishang Lao Shi, Qiu Ba, wanted to wait until he came back to tell him.

The result? Not even half a month later, Lao Shi's merit book was handed over. I remember it was the Viscount. The woman's mother-in-law was dumbfounded. How can heirlooms of poems and books have the fragrance of a title? They kept covering up the news.

She also wants her sister to get married for her.

How could they get what they wanted? That sister had already been in love with her for a long time. At dawn, she sent her maid to go out through the dog hole and ran to the Duke of Tuiguo's Mansion to report the news. You can guess what happened next."

"Tsk, my family is better."

Another half month has passed.

Lixiangyuan has become a large construction site.

Several kilograms of seeded cotton were beaten repeatedly, and the tired boys who were brought in to do the work rolled their eyes until they were beaten into cotton felt and entered the next process.

Stack the fine cotton cloth layer by layer, stick it on both sides of the cotton felt, and cut it neatly.

The little maids, who usually just made small items such as brocade robes and sachets, used their awls to poke holes and thread them.

The younger maids didn't have to work so hard and ran to the front yard of Rika-in with the shaped cloth in their arms.

A few days ago, I asked my uncle who opened a blacksmith shop on Rongning Street to forge iron pieces and put them on the table.

Jia Hui's upper body was bare, her chest covered with scars exposed, and she was hammering the rivets that penetrated the cloth. The arrangement of the iron pieces was not as dense as the classic armor, but spread out.

Connect the edges and drill copper nails into the small holes at the four corners. This is how a piece of cloth armor is ready.

Of course, this is just a test product that is one meter long and wide.

"Hu Jiu, come here, take it and hang it on the target. I want to test the defensive power."

Soldier Hu Jiu quickly hung this piece of cotton armor on the target on the other side of the yard.

He took out a stone bow used for hunting, opened the bow and shot an arrow at the target, and nailed it to the cotton armor.

"General, it didn't go through, it didn't go through!" Hu Jiu stayed not far from the target. Seeing that he had hit the nail, he quickly went up to take a look. One stone bow didn't go through!
