"How old is this girl, Xiaoyan?" Zhang San asked softly after Xiaoyan left.
"What? You want to bring Xiaoyan into your room?" Fang Keying asked with a smile.
"What are you thinking about? I don't have that intention. If Xiaoyan reaches the marriageable age, we will find her an in-law. She can't stay with us as a maid for the rest of her life!"
According to the custom in ancient times, people with status like Xiaoyan usually married into their husband's family along with the young lady. Some of them were sent over in advance to test the man's abilities on behalf of their own young lady.
Of course, there is no such nonsense in Zhang San's place, and Xiaoyan seems to be not young anymore, so I asked this question.
"Xiaoyan should be eighteen, and she is of marriageable age. How about you take her in and keep her at home?" Fang Keying suggested seriously.
"You can't be serious, can you?" Zhang San asked.
"If you like it, I will make the decision..."
"Stop, I don't want to do this. You two are sisters. If you meet a good family in the future, I will prepare a generous dowry for her." Zhang San interrupted quickly.
Fang Keying saw that Zhang San really didn't seem to have this idea, so he said no more.
"Cuckoo!" Following a few rooster crows, the two people quickly stopped talking.
I saw several long-tailed pheasants appearing at the trap. One pheasant had a very red comb and was walking at the front. Its feathers were also colorful and there was a circle of white fluff around its eye sockets. There were also a few smaller ones behind it.
hen.
The leading rooster looked around warily, lowering his head to take a bite of corn from time to time.
Several hens also crossed the grass and followed the roosters to pick up corns on the ground.
"You are taking your wives to hell!" Zhang San muttered in a low voice.
Fang Keying saw that these pheasants were indeed very beautiful, especially the leading rooster, with its long tail and fiery red comb, like a phoenix.
Xiaoyan looked back at Zhang San and Fang Keying from time to time, and felt relieved when she saw that they were both watching the group of pheasants and did not leave.
At this time, he looked nervously at the pheasant that kept walking into the trap.
Just when the rooster walked to the middle, the chicken's paw accidentally tripped the noose, and the rope tightened suddenly, tying the rooster's legs.
The rooster was fertilized and flapped its wings randomly. The other hens didn't know what was happening. Two of them were accidentally tied by ropes and flapped their wings randomly.
For a while, the dust was flying here, the rooster crowed several times, and the other hens were frightened and fled away.
"Haha, now it's good, we will have pears to eat from now on!" Zhang San said excitedly.
"Sanlang, hurry up and untie that pheasant. Such beautiful feathers will be broken immediately." Fang Keying also looked excited.
Zhang San came to the three pheasants, quickly tied them up and threw them into Xiaoyan's bamboo basket.
"The harvest is good, let's go see if the little sister and the others have caught any prey." Zhang San clapped his hands, picked up Xiaoyan's bamboo basket, took Fang Keying's little hand, and walked towards the little sister.
Find the direction.
At this moment, a loud whistle suddenly sounded, which was a danger signal from the escort team.
The sound seemed to be from the direction where the younger sister and Xie Hua'er left.
"What happened?" Fang Keying asked nervously.
"I don't know, go and have a look." Zhang San was worried about his little sister's safety and quickly quickened his pace.
"What's going on?" At this time, a member of the escort team hurriedly ran over, and Zhang San asked quickly.
"The lady ran outside the cordon and provoked a bunch of wild boars from somewhere. Now..."
"Is my little sister okay?" Fang Keying asked nervously.
"I don't know. Brother Fu and the others have gone to drive away the wild boars. You asked me to tell you to pay attention to your safety."
"Liu Zi, please protect your wife and stay here while I go and take a look." Zhang San was worried, so he spoke to Liu Zi and hurriedly ran forward.
At this time, Zhang Fu was leading a group of escort members to drive away seven or eight wild boars with bows and arrows.
"Genzi, you protect Miss Hua'er and evacuate outside to find the lord. These beasts are crazy. Zou Rong, you leave with a few wounded people. Damn it, grandma, I have to kill you all today. How dare you?"
Bullying our young lady."
This group of wild boars are all covered with fat and have rough skin and thick flesh. They have been shot with several arrows and can still roar and attack people.
"Sister Hua'er, are you okay? It's all my fault." The younger sister was frightened at this moment. She supported Xie Hua'er and walked to the outside under the protection of the escort team.
Xie Hua'er had previously been injured by a wild boar in order to protect her little sister. Now she was limping and sweating in pain.
Fortunately, the escort discovered it in time, otherwise it would have been dangerous.
By the time Zhang San arrived, Zhang Fu had already killed all the wild boars, and the smell of blood was still filling the air.
"Your Majesty, please punish us. We failed to protect the ladies." Zhang Fu said with great self-reproach.
"I don't blame you, it's my fault. I shouldn't have sneaked out of the cordon and provoked those wild boars." The younger sister was afraid that Zhang San would really punish Zhang Fu and the others, so she quickly said.
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Hua'er, I'll carry you. Let's go to the carriage to check first." Zhang San didn't wait for Xie Hua'er to say anything, then directly carried Xie Hua'er on his back and led the little girl outside.
Xiaoyu and Suxin also ran over after hearing the siren. Seeing that Xie Huaer was injured, they quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Sister Xiaoyu, I will never hunt again. It's too scary." The younger sister had the best relationship with Xiaoyu. When she saw Xiaoyu, she hugged Xiaoyu's shoulders and started crying.
"Okay little sister, it's okay. Let's check Hua'er first and stop crying." Xiaoyu patted the little sister's back and comforted her.
Xie Hua'er lay on Zhang San's back and said to her little sister: "Little sister, aren't we going to be heroines? How can we be frightened by a few wild boars? When I get better, I will take you to find those wild boars for revenge.
I……"
Before Xie Hua'er could finish her words, Zhang San slapped Xie Hua'er on the buttocks, knocking back Xie Hua'er's last words.
"Just be safe. If Zhang Fu and the others hadn't arrived in time, you two might have survived."
Xie Hua'er's buttocks were attacked, and her face turned red. Xiaoyu and Su Xin also looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled, but there was nothing they could do about Xie Hua'er.
Fang Keying waited and waited for Zhang San and others to come back. She was very worried. Accompanied by Liuzi and Xiaoyan, she also walked deep into the forest.
I happened to meet Zhang San and his group on the way.
"What is Sanlang Hua'er?"
"It's okay, her leg is just injured. You can check her out when we get to the carriage later."
"Sister-in-law..." The little girl pouted and came to Fang Keying's side with her head drooped. She lost the energy she had when she set out in the morning.
"It's okay, let's go back quickly." Fang Keying took the little girl's hand and comforted her a few more times.
With this incident, the hunting ended prematurely. After walking out of the forest, Zhang Fu, Genzi and others lowered their heads and blamed themselves.
"It's not your fault. Hua'er and Xiaomei are two very different people. But this incident has also taught you a lesson. Please pay more attention to it in the future."
Zhang San was waiting outside the carriage. Inside, Su Xin was checking the injury on Xie Hua'er's leg. After knowing the whole story, Zhang San couldn't do anything about the two living ancestors, Xiao Mei and Xie Hua'er.
"Is Hua'er okay?" Zhang San asked when he saw Fang Keying getting off the carriage.
"Su Xin is applying medicine to the flowers. It's nothing serious, but it will take some time to recover." Fang Keying replied.
"That's good. I'll teach them a lesson when I get back. They are so young, but they still don't know the importance." Zhang San said very frightened.
"How could you go down on this little girl?" Fang Keying said with a chuckle.
"Isn't this because of you? You are her sister-in-law, please take care of this matter." Zhang San had no choice but to ask Fang Keying for help.
"Okay, I will talk to my little sister when I get back." Fang Keying replied angrily.
