Chapter 135 Xiaoyu (Second update, please vote for me)
The Karaqin tribe is located at the junction of mountains and grasslands.
After leaving the Karaqin tribe, the team headed towards the hinterland of the grassland.
The scenery has also become monotonous.
There is no royal road, no palace, and there is only boundless wilderness.
Starting to live in a tent tonight!
Shu Shu sat in the carriage, looking forward to it.
Who doesn’t have a camping dream?!
Tent, campfire, starlight.
And barbecue...
Shu Shu couldn't wait to do it.
The mutton here is delicious. It is very tender and juicy even when boiled. If you sprinkle it with cumin powder and grill it, it will definitely be better.
The ninth prince rode on horseback to accompany the imperial chariot.
Xiaosong and Walnut accompany Shu Shu.
Xiaosong's face was full of urgency: "Fujin, if we go camping tonight, can we hunt rabbits?"
Shu Shu knew that she was holding it back.
I kept talking about this before I left the capital, and after half a month, most of them followed the imperial driver, and their movements were well behaved.
It was not easy for everyone to leave the imperial team for a few days. They also got up early and stayed late. They were busy with the errands of Brother Ninth and had no time to do anything else.
"Let's take a look around then..."
Shu Shu herself was now wearing riding clothes, nodded with a smile, and looked at the walnuts again: "How are you learning to ride horses?"
Walnut was embarrassed: "I can walk a few steps while riding, but I don't dare to shout... The horse gets scared when it runs, and the reins tighten. If Sister Xiaosong hadn't watched, I almost fell off before..."
Shu Shu had a serious look on her face and warned: "Everything must be safe... It doesn't matter if you don't know how to ride a horse. Let alone in Beijing, even if we go out, there are not many opportunities to ride... It is a good thing to be motivated, but we must also
Weighing the pros and cons, there is no need to force yourself... The serious Eight Banners wear armor and ride horses as if they are eating. Every year, more than one or two people fall off their horses and become disabled... These are all things that are hard to say..."
Walnut listened respectfully, nodded and said: "I have taken note of this, and I won't show off..."
In the final analysis, it is the damn desire to win.
Shu Shu herself is very strong and can understand what Walnut is thinking.
However, Shu Shu still advised: "Everyone is good at something, and some are not good at it. If you want to be good at everything, you don't have enough energy... Just like Xiaosong and the others, they are just cooking for themselves.
What you are good at or like, you can get twice the result with half the effort... Otherwise, you will get twice the result with half the effort and waste your energy..."
Being strong is a good thing, but your body is also important.
After more than half a month, no one else has changed. The walnut has lost a lot of weight, and if it continues to endure, it will become a shriveled walnut.
Walnut became even more respectful: "I understand..."
Shu Shu didn't say anything more.
She didn't preach much to the girls around her.
Occasionally, I would like to mention something.
Walnut obviously knew this too, and he felt a little nervous after seeing her say it twice.
Shu Shu changed the topic and asked Xiao Song: "Did you take out the fishing net for catching fish yesterday?"
"Take it out, and also take out the two fishing rods..."
Xiaosong glanced at Shu Shu cautiously: "I just beg Fujin not to take this slave to fish. I can't sit still..."
Shu Shu glanced at her: "Should I ask your sister Xiaoyu to dig earthworms, or should I ask you sister Xiaotang to dig earthworms?"
It's not necessarily that he wants live bait, it's just to temper this girl's extravagant temperament.
Xiao Song's eyes were directed towards Walnut.
Walnut quickly begged for mercy: "Good sister, please spare me... I don't dare to touch that... The smelly sister dared to catch it, it's so soft and scary..."
Xiaosong sighed: "Really, what is there to be afraid of?"
There are many rivers on the grassland.
There are tens of thousands of people in this group, and they will only be stationed near the river.
Mongolians don't eat fish, they think fish is the soul of horses.
However, they have a tolerant temperament, and more rules and restrictions are imposed on themselves and do not interfere with others.
So I don’t object to others catching and eating fish.
Shu Shu had previously regarded this retinue as a long-distance trip, so she naturally prepared many suitable entertainment options.
These fishing nets and fishing rods are prepared for the rivers on the grassland.
Today's station is called "Belcher".
Next to it is a river called "Old Hamulun River".
The team began to set up camp.
This was knowledge that Shu Shu had never been exposed to before, so he followed Brother Ninth with some curiosity and watched the servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs setting up tents.
"Sir, what does 'Belcher' mean?"
Shu Shu regarded Jiu Age as her Du Niang.
Brother Ninth got stuck this time.
Shu Shu was surprised: "I haven't been here before..."
Brother Jiu shook his head: "I've never been here before... The road is different... The Aohan tribe is ahead. Khan Ama has been touring the north so many times and has always taken another road. He has never walked through this one..."
It's early to set up camp today, but it's no longer than Shenchu.
The campground is in a mess, and it will probably take a while for things to calm down.
Shu Shu said: "Master, let's go for a walk by the river..."
The station is located two or three miles away from the river bank.
Brother Jiu just saw Xiaosong getting out of the car with the fishing rods and nets, and said: "Call Lao Shi, Thirteen and the others..."
Shu Shu had no objection, and He Yuzhu trotted off to call someone.
When the two men came over, everyone got on their horses.
In addition to the four of them, there are also Xiaosong, Xiaoyu, He Yuzhu, and Sun Jin who can ride horses.
Behind everyone, there were still some guards.
Although the ninth elder brother's errands were handed over, Kangxi still did not transfer the guards back, and still stayed with them to accompany them.
The river bank is gentle.
The river is crystal clear.
The water on the river bank is only a foot or two deep.
Shu Shu looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is safer.
These guards...
It's not that Shu Shu looks down on them...
But swimming is not a common skill for northerners.
"So many fish..."
Brother Ten was squatting by the river. He looked at the shining silver light here and looked in disbelief: "This is too dense..."
The fish in the river are not big, the longest ones are only as long as a palm and as thin as a finger, but the number is very considerable.
Xiaosong, who was familiar with him, took the fishing net and handed it over: "Master Shi, use this to catch..."
The fishing net they prepared was not a throw net, but an enlarged version of a colander.
The tenth brother immediately picked it up, aimed at the place where the fish were most densely populated, and cast the net down, catching five or six fish.
"Hahaha! I caught it!"
Brother 10 laughed, not hiding his joy at the harvest.
Brother Thirteen glanced at Hot, looked at Shu Shu and prayed: "Sister-in-law Ninth..."
It has a clear, childish voice that has not yet been changed, and is several degrees sweeter than usual.
Shu Shu was very pleased. Just when he was about to speak, Brother Jiu stopped him, frowned and scolded: "Speak carefully, you are just chirping, little girl?"
Brother Thirteen blushed and his cheeks puffed up.
The tenth elder brother sneered at the side and said: "Isn't this a little elder brother? I have been flattered by the Mongolian prince for two days and I can't find him... How old do I really think I am? The real youngest son of Khan Amma is still suckling in Yikun Palace...
…”
The Thirteenth Brother's eyes were red as his two older brothers insulted him.
Shu Shu glared at Brother Ten: "Don't bully Thirteen. Do you act like an older brother?"
After saying that, she took two steps forward and took the hand of Thirteenth Brother: "I'm going fishing with my sister-in-law. Let's ignore them... Don't learn from them in the future. If you don't cultivate your oral ethics, you just deserve to be beaten. If you don't know how,
speak nicely……"
The uncle and sister-in-law went to the open space on the other side.
Xiaoyu followed with two fishing rods in his arms, and Xiaosong followed with two small poles in one hand and two stacked buckets in the other.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were left looking at each other.
The ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother, lowered his voice, and said with condemnation: "You too, Old Loss Thirteen, I really made you cry when you turn around, you can coax yourself..."
Brother Ten shuddered: "You can't. How old are you? Are you still crying? Are you shameless?"
The ninth elder brother was originally not happy for the thirteenth elder brother to get close to Shu Shu, but now he doesn't stop him.
He saw that Shu Shu was cleaning up the mess for Lao Shi.
What he said just now was not out of line. Even if it was reported to the emperor, it was the elder brother who disciplined the younger brother, and no one else could find fault.
Those words from Lao Shi...
Somewhat mean...
It is also easy to be misunderstood as jealousy...
If the news really reaches the imperial court, who knows what Khan Amma will think?!
Brother 10 also realized that he had made a mistake and slapped his mouth.
On Shu Shu's side, Brother Thirteen's attention has been diverted.
Uncle and sister-in-law, each with a fishing rod.
What I used was not live bait, but the dough that I had previously crushed and mixed with Tao Su.
With the aroma of snacks.
Where have you seen this among the little fish in the river?
As soon as I cast the rod, a small fish took the bait.
In just a few words, the uncle and sister-in-law caught two or three fish each.
If they were both novices and were too slow to lift the pole, they would have missed one out of three poles and captured more.
The two of them didn't have to sit and wait at all.
Xiaoyu and Xiaosong were nearby, waiting for them to put out bait and pick up fishing rods. They were very busy.
"Haha, fishing is so fun..."
The volume of the Thirteenth Brother was much higher than usual, and he looked at the Tenth Brother and the others proudly.
It was so lively that the guards gathered around to watch the fun.
The small fish still took the bait one by one.
The empty bucket next to it is already half full.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother couldn't stand the temptation and came over.
Shu Shu had already caught seven or eight fish and was satisfied. When he saw the two people coming, he handed the fishing rod to Brother Ten.
Brother Ten took the fishing rod with a smile and started fishing.
"Haha, I caught a big one, seven or eight inches..."
By the time Shu Shu and Ninth Brother left the crowd, Tenth Brother had already caught fish and started to show off.
Shu Shu let out a long breath and pulled Brother Jiu to stand in front of a bush of Sarilang flowers.
"Sir, no matter what the feelings between the tenth and thirteenth elders are, it's better to keep them in your heart... The emperor values siblings and will not like his younger brother to be disrespectful to his elder brother, but he will also not be happy to see his elder brother being mean to his younger brother... even once
The two times can be said to be unintentional actions, but over time, mistakes will always be mistakes..."
Shu Shu said seriously.
She specifically mentioned this, not because she knew that the thirteenth prince would be the prime minister and minister in the future, and was deliberately trying to please her, but because she knew that Empress Zhang Bin would not live long.
Now that the tenth prince has lost his mother, Kangxi would have shown much love and tolerance towards this son.
What if the thirteenth brother loses his mother?
Whether he is the prince or the tenth elder brother, his status is here, and his maternal family also helps.
Thirteenth Brother is different again.
There is a maternal wife, but she is just an ordinary wrapper and cannot be the prince's help.
You don't need to think about it to know that Kangxi will only have more pity and partiality for his son...
