"Although there are no mountains here, if you look up, aren't there rolling green hills more than ten miles away? The woods there are dense, so naturally there are game animals. Don't worry, there will be game for you to eat." Fu Qiuning took out his handkerchief and offered it to him After wiping his mouth, he heard the boy yell again: "If that's the case, then I will go hunting. Five of my ten arrows can hit the bull's eye."
Jin Fengju snorted and said: "Don't be naughty. You want to show off if you hit the bull's-eye with five arrows? The little bow and arrow you took can't even kill a rabbit. Just stay well, or else you will hunt wild game." You are not allowed to eat."
Jin Zhenyi looked at his father with no fear at all. He raised his chest and raised his head and said, "Dad, don't look down on people. Who said it was the small bow and arrows? I hit 10 out of 10 arrows with the small bow. I am talking about the big bow and arrows." He said After finishing, Fu Qiuning also smiled beside him and said: "Don't look down on this child. His natural power is the bow that an adult can pull. He can pull it effortlessly. Look at this kid. Last year he was a head shorter than Feng'er. This year, he is slightly as tall as him."
Yang Ming was walking over with a fish at this time. Hearing Fu Qiuning's words, he smiled and said: "It turns out that the second young master is so capable. Needless to say, the Duke's house is full of civil servants, including the young marquis. , although he has some martial arts skills, he is still doing civilian work. Now the second young master is very talented. I think he should hire a martial artist to teach him. Maybe he will be a fierce general in battle. Besides, he also studies the art of war. Naturally, I know it well."
Jin Fengju hurriedly said: "Shut up, I know this well, don't let your praise make you raise your tail to the sky. That's right, what are you doing with this fish? Could it be that the stove is actually There is no place for you to grill fish, so you come to our place to squeeze in?"
Yang Ming hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Hou, don't you know the good people's heart? How can I come here to join in the fun? It's really rare to see this piece of grouper, so I brought it here and baked it for my grandma, young master and girls to try. Groupers are famous for their delicious taste.”
Jin Fengju took the fish and said with a smile: "Hey, this fish is not small. Okay, I don't think you are serious about it. I want this fish. Feng'er, change the iron net and put the fish on it to grill. This stone The grouper fish tastes good." After saying that, he said to Jian Feng: "Pick up some razor clams and bring them back to Guard Yang..." Before he could finish speaking, Yang Ming had already walked back, waving his hand and saying: "Come on, come on, Don’t give me this cheap favor, we also have razor clams and clams.”
After a large grouper was roasted, everyone was a little full, so the delicious big fish was a bargain for the old cat. Unexpectedly, the old cat had also eaten a lot before and was greedy for the delicious grouper. There was only one thorn left from the fish, and the already very fat old cat collapsed on the ground.
Seeing the old cat lying on its back with only its bulging belly exposed, the group of people laughed.
Although they didn't eat any staple food for lunch, everyone was full after eating a lot of seafood. In the afternoon, we rushed to Shanluan in the distance. Since there were no carriages and horses, we all had to walk. There were a few bearers carrying several bamboo sedans. However, when Jin Fengju asked Fu Qiuning to sit, she refused. Only Cui, Yuelan and a few girls sat on it, and said with a smile: "I was in Zhuangzi, in Wanfengxuan, what kind of hardships have I not suffered? What's the point of just walking under the sun? Don't treat me Thinking of being so delicate. In addition, the three brothers should also be allowed to walk around. Boys always need to be exercised. "
Jin Fengju naturally agreed with her statement. The couple chatted while walking, and the old cat followed behind them. From time to time he jumped up to the tall tree, and from time to time he jumped down again. Sometimes he swooped out and caught a bird. His movements were really agile and neat.
After about two hours, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Although Fu Qiuning was not weak, she could only breathe heavily at this moment. She felt pity for the bearer and was determined to train the boys, so she gritted her teeth and persisted. In the end, Jin Fengju only felt distressed when he saw her, but he couldn't convince her.
We have been on our way since noon, but the sun is still high at this moment. Except for a dozen or so of the guards left behind to protect the female family members, the others have dispersed to hunt. Jin Zhenyi and Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zhenxuan, are still pestering Jin Fengju, and they also go to see them. In the world, Fu Qiuning and others spread out felt mats to rest under the shade of the trees. Fortunately, most of the trees here are banyan trees, and there are not many insects. Unlike the locust trees, poplar trees, apricot trees, etc. in the north, they are all caterpillars, and one will fall out at any time.
The girls couldn't sit still, so they walked around casually. Jin Zangjiao picked some wild flowers and weeds, and began to show off the skills she learned from Yujie in front of her sisters. After a while, she knitted the wild flowers and weeds. Several beautiful flower baskets and garlands were placed around the necks of the sisters.
Cui and Yuelan looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It's Grandma Ning after all. I used to be dissatisfied with her, but now I really admire her. No wonder I can be fascinated by her after five years." .No need for anything else, just look at these sisters. How could they be so harmonious when Second Grandma Riwan was in charge of the family? But now? Not to mention these little sisters, just a few brothers, I think they are better than before We have united a lot. If it weren't for Second Grandma Ning, no one else would have such skill."
Yuelan also smiled and said: "No, as the saying goes, people have to compare with each other to death, and goods have to be thrown away. Grandma Xiangwan is also a smart person. When she was at home, she started helping my wife take care of the house at the age of fifteen. I used to think that Grandma Wan was the best woman. Although she was a little meaner, who could have the talent she has? Who would have known that today, it turns out that there are people in the world who are better than others in the world."
The two of them were sighing here, and suddenly they heard Jin Zangjiao scream, which only frightened the hearts of several women, but they heard the little girl shout loudly: "Mushroom, mother, come and see, it's so big, so big Mushrooms."
Fu Qiuning felt relieved. He stood up and walked over to take a look. Sure enough, there was a large snow-white mushroom in the grass under the shade of the tree. The huge umbrella cover was bigger than an adult man's palm. She couldn't help but get excited. Jin Zangjiao had already picked the mushroom and happily ran to Fu Qiuning to show it to her.
"Well, it's an ordinary big white mushroom. Although it's not as delicious as matsutake, it's fresh and tastes very delicious. When I and the others come back from hunting pheasants, it'll be great to make soup together." Fu Qiuning looked at the big white mushroom. Seeing Cui's Yuelan and others coming over, he handed the mushroom to them and said happily: "Looking at the appearance of this mushroom, it may have rained two days ago. There are abundant vegetation here. Let's look for it again. Only I’m afraid I can still collect some and bring them back.”
After saying this, the children all cheered. Fu Qiuning was about to move forward when he was grabbed by Jian Feng and heard her plead: "My grandma, don't be greedy. I often hear people say that there are poisonous snakes in the south." There are plenty of vegetation here. If you go in and get bitten by a poisonous snake, your servant will not be able to deal with the young marquis. What's more, you will not think about yourself, but you also have to think about the girls."
After being reminded by Jian Feng, Fu Qiuning hesitated and nodded: "It makes sense, let's forget it..." As soon as he finished speaking, the guide who followed him laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, there are not many trees here, although the weeds are luxuriant. , but they are all low weeds, and poisonous snakes are all on the mountain, so they will not wander here. After saying that, he walked in first, took out a bag from his arms, sprinkled it in a large circle on the grass, came back and said with a smile: "Madam, this is realgar powder, so it will be more foolproof here. If you want to pick mushrooms, go ahead. The mushrooms here are very delicious. "
At this time, everyone no longer had any worries, and they all dispersed and ran in. Fu Qiuning was the only one who was still a little worried and asked the guide: "There are poisonous snakes on the mountain. If the young marquis and the others go hunting, will they be bitten by poisonous snakes?" After saying that, the guide shook his head and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry too much. The young Marquis has already thought of it. I just saw them taking out some things to check when they entered the mountain. They also smelled the smell of realgar. I think they were all covered with it." Take it with you, not to mention there are not many venomous snakes here, you can only see one occasionally, but most of them are grass snakes."
Fu Qiuning was slightly relieved, but he was not in the mood to pick mushrooms anymore. However, the girls and Cui Yuelan were in high spirits, and they heard cheers from time to time. Jin Zangjiao was especially lively, and ran away every time he picked a big mushroom. Come to present a treasure to Fu Qiuning, and the grass was filled with laughter and laughter for a while.
In less than half an hour, several women and girls plundered all the mushrooms on the grass and piled them on the felt mat. They weighed more than ten kilograms, which even surprised Fu Qiuning. I didn’t expect mushrooms to be so abundant here. Just as Mr. Cui and others were busy pinching off the mushroom stems, they suddenly saw a black shadow passing in front of them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old cat with a fat rabbit in its mouth. It was placed on the felt mat and then jumped in. In the small forest in the distance.
As a result, Cui Yuelan was frightened. Fu Qiuning was not surprised and said with a smile: "What's this? Don't forget that the old cat has bitten the throat of a Japanese pirate. Just wait, maybe it will happen later." You can catch a pheasant in your mouth."
After he finished speaking, the guide was surprised and said: "I didn't pay attention before, but now that I think about it, my wife's cat seems to be a mountain cat. It's no wonder. Why is it so strong and agile? Well, pheasant, yes, mountain chicken." Raccoons are the best at catching pheasants. Tsk tsk, this is really not easy. It is rare to see such a powerful thing in the mountains. But I didn’t expect that there is one in the madam’s house. But I don’t know how it can follow people? The thing is very fierce.”
