Chapter 191
Erran initially just wanted to go out of the city to take off horses, but once they left the city, they would also go back to hunt. Although the Song Dynasty was not martial, since they all loved horses, they would not refuse hunting, let alone riding horses to chase their prey. The feeling was much more exciting than pure horses.
Although they didn't bring a longbow when they left the city, Han Zhongwei's guards carried a crossbow with them. Although this thing had a short range, they could shoot continuously, which was very popular among Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi. Although their riding skills were not very good, they also encountered several dead mice by their blind cats.
Originally, Han Zhongwei wanted to show off his skills. He often went out to hunt when he was in Black City. Han Zhongwei's riding skills are very good now. In addition, his internal strength is strong and his arms are very stable on the horse's back, so the arrow in his hand looks like he has eyes, shooting wherever he points. But in order not to stimulate these two people, Han Zhongwei only shot a few pheasants.
But even this made Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi stunned. They wanted to shoot a rabbit or something. They had to ride a horse and chase it continuously, and during the movement. If one of the ten arrows could be shot, it would be the blessing of the Bodhisattva. But Han Zhongwei was like walking in the garden, and he would have an arrow casually. Either a pheasant fell from the tree or the running rabbit was nailed to the ground by him.
Fortunately, the two of them had a lot of fun, and their surprise was limited to a moment, and they quickly went to their hunting. Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongwei both shot sixty arrows in the end, and only three rabbits and two pheasants were hunted in total, which shows how low their hit rate was. Han Zhongwei only took six shots, but five pheasants and one hare accounted for it.
At noon, Han Zhongwei saw that they were still not satisfied, so he ordered his guards to return to the city to get some seasonings and salt, and also took a few bottles of wine in the mansion. In addition to leaving a pheasant, the rest of the pheasant and hare were roasted. This time, Han Zhongwei showed his skills again. He had eaten beggar chicken in later generations, digging out the pheasant's internal organs, filling them with various seasonings, and carefully smearing a heavy layer of them with river mud or pond mud outside. He didn't even need to pluck the chicken feathers, and threw them into the fire. After the roasting was done, he knocked on the mud outside, and the chicken feathers were also brought down with the mud. The whole chicken was fragrant without overflowing, which made people's index fingers move.
The hare directly recorded the internal organs and hair, inserted them with a stick and roasted them on the fire. From time to time, they applied seasonings on the rabbit. When they were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, they would tear off a piece of it and eat it all over the mouth.
Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi were used to living a life of luxury and food, so how could they taste this? Moreover, they were very interested and made a beggar chicken, and later they found it to enjoy it themselves, so when they were eaten, it was called a delicious food. No matter how bad the things they made were, they were delicious. Moreover, Han Zhongwei prepared enough seasonings, and their methods were not as good as the taste. In addition, with the accompanying wine, this meal made them feel that this was the best and most fragrant meal they had in their lives.
"Third brother, are you going to leave a pheasant for a beggar chicken after you return home?" Han Zhongyi worked hard all morning and actually wiped out the entire chicken. At this time, he even sucked his fingers. He was very unsatisfied. Fortunately, they only had more than ten people this time, and each of them could be assigned a hare or pheasant.
"Eating beggar chicken requires an environment. How can this atmosphere be found in the mansion? I want to ask my elder brother to take this chicken back to the mansion and give it to my mother. Let her try it too. Whether it is stewed or boiled, it is very delicious and very nourishing." Han Zhongwei said that now he will give Wu Cuier something every day when he is in Lin'an City. For example, the steamed flat fish she praised in Zhongfu last time. Every two days, Han Zhongwei asked someone to send a copy to the Hanfu for her to try it.
"Third brother, you are so filial." Han Zhongyi's face turned red when he said this. He had never thought about preparing something for his mother, and even this idea had never appeared.
"The courtesy is light and the people are strong. Zhongwei, although it is just a pheasant, it can be seen that he looks like a filial man." Zhao Kuo was also a little moved. Although he was a prince, he would go to the palace to greet his father and mother every ten days. But that was more like a program. It seemed that he rarely came to the palace to pay tribute to them on his own initiative. If he suddenly entered the palace, it was because he had something to ask for a meeting. As for the emperor's grandfather, he seemed to have several, Yue had not visited him. Although the Tian family was selfless, he was even worse than Han Zhongwei in these matters.
"This is just a duty to do as a son. It is not worthy of praise from the two brothers. Han Zhongwei said that this time, Zhao Kuo's relationship with him has gone a step further. The two have become brothers like Han Zhongyi. Of course, this is only private, but this also makes Han Zhongwei feel that he can slowly implement his established policies.
"But we didn't even do our duty, Zhao Kuo sighed.
"You can do filial piety at any time, no matter how late it is," Han Zhongwei said meaningfully. He heard at Zhao Yanyu's mansion last night that the relationship between the emperor and the Supreme Emperor did not seem to be harmonious, which caused the ministers in the court to be extremely dissatisfied. The relationship between the emperor and the ministers was tense, which was not a good thing for the Song Dynasty. Since Han Zhongwei traveled to Lin'an, he had to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a time traveler. Since he could not influence the emperor, let the prince do his filial piety more. Perhaps it could alleviate the tension between them.
"Yes, Zhongyi, I've had enough food and drink. We'll hunt a few more wild game and follow the same thing. We'll let the elders in the family taste the freshness of Zhao Kuo stand up. He just now was on the ground like others. Zhu Quan and Han Zhongwei are integrated into one. It's like an ordinary person's Dongqi.
With Han Zhongwei's example at the forefront, Han Zhongyi could not fall behind any longer, and his fun was still unsuccessful. He immediately turned over and searched for suitable prey with Zhao Kuo again.
Perhaps God also pity their sudden filial piety. This time, it was not long before both of them gained. Zhao shot a pheasant and a hare, and Han Zhongyi also shot a hare. The two of them also knew their archery skills and stopped when they were about to do so.
"It's a pity that they are all small. If they can hunt headhunting tigers, big bears, etc., then they will be satisfied. Han Zhongyi proudly got a hare. But he said arrogantly. With his archery technique, even if a tiger stands there for him to shoot, he doesn't know how many hundreds of arrows to shoot. You must know that he is using a crossbow. Although he can fire continuously, his power is much less than that of a bow and arrow. If he cannot shoot at the vital point, it will bring danger to himself.
"You have to hike deep in the mountains and forests. Can you stand it if you don't have a horse? Han Zhongwei didn't expose his big words and said with a smile.
"It's time to go back to the city. We don't know if we can work together to deal with a tiger." Zhao Kuodao also knew that tigers could not be killed by anyone, otherwise the hero who killed tigers would be in vain?
Zhao Kuo actually wanted to return to the city early to enter the palace. Although the pheasant and hare he hunted today were not worth much money, it was killed by himself. Giving it to his father and mother to taste it, it was also a filial piety.
When he returned to the city, Han Zhongwei was no longer afraid of leaving the city. When he entered the city, he met many people living outside the city and left the city. He even stopped the horse, so that Zhao Yuting finally got what he wanted. Although Zhao Yuting did not know Han Zhongwei, she knew Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi, so she easily recognized Han Zhongwei who was standing beside them by using the method of exclusion.
Zhao Yuting knew Han Zhongwei's life in detail at Princess Jia and Han Yuling, and was basically familiar with his recent situation except Lin'an. She didn't expect that both of her life were related to this. Young people, one was the wine that she could tolerate and love to drink, and the other was the pork on the table.
Zhao Yuting thought that although Han Zhongwei was born in the Han Mansion, his background could only be described as humble. Before he left the Han Mansion, he really didn't know what words to describe him, and it was useless. But since he left the Han Mansion, he was like a different person, not only did he easily make money, but he also bought a house. Now he is doing a big business, and he is just a big deal to describe him as a daily money-making money. Is this kind of person really as bad as Han Yuling said when he was in the Han Mansion? Or is he always acting?
Look at his calmness and spirit when he stood with King Jia Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi, the eldest son of the Han family, and made it difficult to believe his past. It should be said that just from the perspective of appearance, Zhao Yuting did not hate Han Zhongwei. This person was like a jade face and starry eyes. He was not at all inferior when he was with Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi. Perhaps because he was very confident, he talked with them calmly, very steady, and did not show any ostentatiousness.
Unfortunately, he had never studied, otherwise Zhao Yuting would have stopped, and it would be better to marry anyone, and his father asked him to retreat to the Han Mansion, which also meant to form an alliance with Han Jizhou. Although Zhao Yuting was a woman, she had a unique eye for major events in the court.
"Young Master, Han Guan Ren is so emotional that he is so happy. If anyone who doesn't know that he has never read a book, he must have thought he was also a handsome young man. Xiao He whispered in Zhao Yuting's ear.
"What's the use of being good-looking? Someone in Zhao Yuting said that as a talented woman, she does not judge men by her appearance. As long as she is not a person with a disability, she can still treat everyone equally. Although Han Zhongwei's appearance is the best choice, what she values most is how many goods there are in her belly. Like that kind of fool, Zhao Yuting will never marry even if she beats her to death.
"Han officials can create such a big foundation at a young age, and I'm afraid they won't have a relationship with their wine bags. Xiaohe laughed.
"Although it's not far away, Zhao Yuting sighed and said that the most money he could make is a merchant. If he couldn't talk to himself, then what's different than marrying a mute? To Zhao Yuting, mute is included in the disabled. This made her unacceptable.
"This is not necessarily true. Although the Han official has never read a book, what if he is talented and talented? I see, he can talk to King Jia and the Han official, at least he is familiar with etiquette and Xiaohe knows the thoughts of his lady, but as a bystander, she also has her own unique insights.
What is a scholar? Those who know etiquette and know how to advance and retreat can be considered half a person even if they are not scholars. Han Zhongwei can talk and laugh calmly. I am afraid he can't be included in the list of those who have never read books?
"I hope this is the case, Zhao Yuting thought about it. She also felt that Xiaohe's words made sense. She stared at Han Zhongwei and found that he said a few words to Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi from time to time, which made them lose their temper from time to time.
Since Han Zhongwei practiced the internal skills, he felt very sensitive. Even if he had been staring at others for a long time, he could feel it. Following his own perception, Han Zhongwei looked at the tea shop on the side of the road at will. He didn't care at the time when he saw a young scholar looking at him. But when the other party saw him looking at him, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze in a panic, fearing that he could not dodge, which made Han Zhongwei, who had no doubts, immediately full of doubts.
Han Zhongwei stared at the scholar in reverse, and the more he looked, the more he became more familiar with him. He had few acquaintances in the city, so why did he feel familiar with him? Besides, if he really knew him, let alone came over and talked to him? Even if he just said hello, it would be good.
When Han Zhongwei looked at his scholar carefully, he found that the scholar's face was covered with red clouds, like a little girl who had done something wrong. Thinking of the little girl, Han Zhongwei immediately knew who the person was. Han Zhongwei thought to himself that he had done everything he could, but he didn't expect that she would succeed.
There are permanent residents in Lin'an City, but this is definitely not the real number of people in Lin'an City. Every day, when the city gate is opened, the people or merchants and vendors living outside Lin'an City will flock to the city. When they are about to close the city gate in the afternoon, they have to leave again. This is when they leave the city, and the people who leave the city gate are constantly flowing, and Han Zhongwei and his 10-person cavalry team were also blocked at the city gate.
"Brother Zhao, brother, it seems that I can't enter the city for a while. There is a tea shop there. Why don't we go in and rest for a while?" Han Zhongwei said, pointing to the tea shop next to him.
"It's okay to rest for a while, Zhao Kuo rode his horse for a day, and his body was a little weak, so he nodded immediately.
"Xiaohe, go and check the bill quickly. We have to leave quickly. When they came in, Zhao Yuting said nervously. Han Zhongwei's realistic gaze just now looked at her. Zhao Yuting knew that things were broken. She didn't expect Han Zhongwei's gaze was so sharp that he could see through him at a glance. Now when they suddenly got off the horse and walked towards the tea shop, how could the smart Zhao Yuting know that she was exposed?
But Zhao Yuting was very strange. She had never met Han Zhongwei before, so how could he see something strange at a glance? Zhao Yuting couldn't understand it. She would never have thought that as early as last night, Han Zhongwei lay on her head and looked at her carefully.
"Brother Zhao, brother. How about we sit with this young master? Han Zhongwei came straight to Zhao Yuting as soon as he entered the tea shop. There were only a few tables in the tea shop. Now there are too many people leaving the city, and the roads are squeezed by them. There are many people waiting to enter the city, and only Zhao Yuting can sit there.
Xiao He just went to check out the bill, but he didn't expect to see the master sitting with his lady as soon as he came back. She didn't dare to walk over again, otherwise the lady would be exposed as soon as she spoke. Poor Xiao He didn't know that her lady had already been seen through her identity by Han Zhongwei.
"Brother, I'll squeeze you here and you won't be able to get in the way, right?" Han Zhongwei looked at Zhao Yuting with a smile and asked.
"Please know your situation. If a bad situation is revealed, it will be discovered. Now she just wants to leave quickly, but she is also lucky. Han Zhongwei cannot know her. Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi have only met her for a few times. I believe they will find it difficult for them to recognize her, so Zhao Yuting really hopes to listen to what Han Zhongwei and the others say so that she can make the best decision. But in order not to expose herself, Zhao Yuting can only talk as little as possible.
Zhao Kuo and Han Zhongyi really didn't see Zhao Yuting's identity. In ancient times, men and women were not allowed to get along with each other, and they had only met Zhao Yuting for a limited number of times. Even if Zhao Yuting, who was a daughter, walked on the street to meet them, if they didn't report their own home, they would definitely recognize him. Moreover, now Zhao Yuting deliberately concealed her identity and changed into men's clothing, it would be even more impossible for them to recognize him.
"Third brother. How can you do what you said just now? Let me tell you the answer quickly? Han Zhongyi asked anxiously as soon as he sat down. When Han Zhongwei was sitting on the horse, he talked about what Han Zhongyi did last year without being heavy. Han Zhongwei asked him another question, but Han Zhongyi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
"Yes, Zhongwei, a person who knows how to do light skills will step on an egg but the egg will not break. Why is this? Xiao Zhao Kuo has been thinking about this question. He originally thought, is this person's body hanging up by a rope, otherwise if the person step on an egg, the egg will not break?
Zhao Yuting was also very interested when she heard Zhao Kuo's words. She has always claimed to be a talented woman. Her strength is her strength, but now this person is stepping on an egg with one foot, but the egg is not broken, which makes her unable to understand for the time being.
"Is this egg made of iron?" Zhao Yuting thought of a possibility and couldn't help but say.
"Yes. Zhongwei, you just said you would not borrow any tools. Now it seems that as long as the eggs are made of iron, it is possible!" Han Zhongyi also supported Zhao Yuting's opinion on the side.
With supporters, Zhao Yuting's face showed a hint of lust, which was not right for reciting poems. She dared to show ugly questions like this, so I answered them accurately.
"This brother is so smart. You can even think of this, but unfortunately he thinks too complicated. The answer is actually very simple.
Of course, eggs are real eggs. Why won’t the eggs break if one foot is stepped on the egg? Because his other foot is standing on the ground. As long as he is not a three-year-old child, Han Zhongwei said with a smile.
When Zhao Yuting heard Han Zhongwei's first words, she was still proud of herself, but after listening to Han Zhongwei's words, she looked black. What does she mean that she is extremely intelligent? Isn't this scolding the bald donkey in front of a monk?
