An alpha's ancient life record

Autumn and winter hunting, after the heavy snow, the eighth day of the winter month ushered in the winter hunting day of this year.

Winter hunting originated from an ancient custom. In the farming society, the king hunted wild animals from nature to eliminate pests for the fields. It is also called field hunting. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has become an indispensable ritual activity.

Since Shen Qingshu inherited the title last year, he also had to accompany the royal family, and the female family members in the mansion depended on their own wishes. The old Liu was too old, and He felt cold and didn't want to go out, so only Lin Weizhi was with her.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, under the escort of the imperial army, the majestic and majestic imperial chariots, civil and military officials, princes and nobles, the Sangong and the Sixth Courtyard, marched out of the city wall and headed for the Zhonggu paddock.

A few days ago, the Zhonggu paddock was surrounded and blocked by the imperial guards, and the people in the surrounding area had already moved out. Before the royal driver moved in, a large-scale mountain sweep would be carried out to ensure that there were no too ferocious beasts.

There is less entertainment in this era, and even those who don't like hunting can't help but join in the fun of such a large-scale winter outing.

Shen Qingshu didn't take a carriage today, but rode beside the carriage on his beloved horse, and occasionally lowered his head to talk to Lin Weizhi.The circle in the capital city is really too small, she met many acquaintances one after another along the way, but everyone brought their family members, and they parted after a few pleasantries.

Until I met Lin Xiuping.

"Brother-in-law!" Lin Xiuping was also riding a horse, and when he heard this shout, Shen Qingshu didn't realize for a moment that it was calling himself.

She bowed her head and said, and drove her horse forward, walking side by side with Lin Xiuping, "Brother, you are here too."

"Yes, I am very quiet and want to move, and I am very tired from reading all day, so I took this opportunity to come out to change my mood." Lin Xiuping glanced back and asked, "Is my sister here too?"

"Well," Shen Peili didn't come this time, Shen Qingshu thought for a while, and said, "Did elder brother bring any family members? My lady here doesn't have any companions either. If you don't let her go to your side, there will be someone to talk to."

Of course, Lin Xiuping had no objection, "Okay, my carriage is still behind, just wait."

Then Shen Qingshu went to the window of the car, bowed down and spoke in a warm voice, Lin Weizhi agreed, and the carriages and horses retreated to the side of the road to wait.

Lin Xiuping nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad, his brother-in-law, although his chess skills are quite bad, his character and character, he is really the only one among the noble children, but his family has fallen a little bit, and he has no elders to support him.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is low, and marrying a daughter is high. When the two families got married, some people thought that Lin Weizhi married lowly. Since Shen Qing left Zhongyayuan, such voices have gradually decreased.

Lin Xiuping rode forward, talked to his sister for a while, and when the carriage of Lin's family arrived, he walked ahead with Shen Qingshu again.

Arriving at Zhonggu paddock in the evening, the royal tent was set up in the open area deep in the paddock, with it as the center, and the rest of the courtiers moved out according to their status, forming a guard.

Lin and Chen's two tents were tied together, and it was already dark when they settled down. The female relatives were eating in the tent, and a fire was lit outside, and the rest were sitting on the ground.

Although the weather is cold, sitting on the ground under the curtain of the sky, drinking hot soup with a burning fire, and talking happily, is not interesting.

Lin Xiuping's two younger brothers also came, but after not seeing each other for half a year, they grew up a lot, and they all sat quietly, listening to Lin Xiuping talking to her.

After a while, Meng Bozhou and Xia Boyan also came to find you, "So you are here, so it is really easy for us to find."

I met Shen Qingshu at her wedding before, the two of them didn't recognize each other, they squeezed together and sat down next to Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu looked back, "Why are you two alone, Senior Brother Xia?"

Xia Boyan pouted, "My brother, you don't know, he's not interested in these things, and his shooting skills are poor, so he didn't come at all."

Shen Qingshu was dumbfounded, Xia Bogui used to force himself to shoot at least two arrows symbolically, why did he give up treatment this year.

"It's fine if you don't come, or I'll feel anxious for senior brother." Meng Bozhou waved his hand, and then asked: "Have you heard? The prize of this winter hunting is said to be the sword that His Majesty used when he was hiding in the mansion. "

"I've also heard that the sword is said to be two feet and three inches long. It was forged by the late swordsmith Kun Wu. Its color is like frost and snow, and it can be broken by blowing hair." Xia Boyan showed a longing look on his face, "The most important thing is , must have been taught by His Majesty personally, the disciples in Beijing have practiced riding and shooting diligently during this period, and they are all trying their best to win the first place."

"Really? Why haven't I heard of it?" Shen Qingshu rubbed his head, always feeling that he and them were not in the same world. According to Meng Baizhou, gossip was always flying in the sky in Beijing, but she hadn't heard anything.

"Oh, you nerd, you only know how to read," Xia Boyan cast a disgusted look at him, and sighed with his face propped up, "It would be great if the rhubarb was mine, and if you don't know tomorrow, you can win the championship."

Rhubarb is Shen Qingshu's horse, it is a top-notch horse, gallops like the wind, and is exceptionally handsome, it can be called the king of horses.

The horse dealer brought it back from the northwest grassland, but he couldn't tame it. At that time, all the experts in Beijing were happy to see Lie Xin, so they went to try it, but none of them succeeded.Even after starving it for three days, the horse refused to lower its head.

Until one day, when Shen Qingshu heard about this from Meng Baizhou, he went to the stable, but just touched the horse's head, and the horse was willing to follow her, which made people's jaw drop.

Also, this kind of steed should be given a majestic name, but she named it Rhubarb, and the horse actually liked it very much. Son blind.

Shen Qingshu only pursed his lips and smiled, Rhubarb was so hot, even if he borrowed it, no one else could ride him.

"As the rumors say, His Majesty brought this precious sword this time." Lin Xiuping took a sip of his wine, with a smile on his lips, "But there is something hidden in it."

Everyone looked over, "What?"

He looked around and said in a low voice: "The eldest princess is sixteen years old. It is rumored that your Majesty intends to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess this time. So if you are married, please stop showing off. Presumably tomorrow, the elders in your family will also warn you."

"So that's the case." Shen Qingshu nodded, and she just said that the Qiandi saber has a different meaning, and it won't be given to others easily.

Meng Baizhou joked: "Among us, you are the only one who has not married a wife. You want to win the championship so much. We will wish you a helping hand tomorrow. Maybe His Majesty will take a fancy to you and let you go to Shang Princess."

Xia Boyan shook his head, "Who wants to be the princess? I think it's for the sword and for His Majesty's appreciation."

Lin Xiuping laughed and said, "Isn't Princess Shang also appreciated by His Majesty?"

"I don't want this kind of appreciation. Who doesn't know that Her Majesty the Princess is being manipulated by His Majesty, she is very unruly and willful, and whoever marries will be unlucky." Xia Boyan rolled his eyes, "What's more, my family is already discussing marriage for me. It will be settled in a few days."

Most of the officials and eunuchs who aspire to the court do not want to honor the princess. Although this dynasty can not help the son-in-law to be an official, they are basically idle jobs. Take the imperial examination.

Everyone was just joking, and turned to chatting about other topics. When the bonfire faded away, they dispersed.

The next day was bright, and Shen Qingshu changed into a short shirt and long boots and came out, with sleeves on his arms, looking neat and tidy, with a dashing and heroic demeanor.

The Second Battalion of the Forbidden Army was arranged in a square formation. A group of aristocratic children who were able to ride horses and shoot well stood in front of the formation. The emperor in robes came over on his horse surrounded by guards.

This is not the first time Shen Qingshu has seen the emperor. She has looked at the emperor from a distance several times before. The emperor is only [-] years old, well maintained, fair complexion, with a short beard under his chin, and his eyes look very gentle, but he is not. Not very scary.

Today can be said to be the emperor who was picked up in vain. He is an old man. When he was born, there were more than a dozen princes in front of him. Originally, it was not his turn to be the emperor, but the late emperor lived too long. When the first emperor passed away, his elder brother in front of him was very old and dead. In the end, at the age of 20, he ascended to the throne without any struggle for succession.

It can be said to be a European gas explosion, a winner in life.

When the horn blew, the emperor raised his whip and rushed out after encouraging the crowd. The crowd behind him promised in unison, trampling on horseshoes, billowing dust and flying like thunder.

After galloping into the tree-lined mountain garden, the team dispersed, or walked alone or in a team on the forest path, slowing down the horses to look for prey.

"Qingshu, why are you going?" Meng Baizhou lost sight of her when he misread her, and when he looked back, he turned his horse's head and walked back.

"You guys go first." Shen Qingshu turned her back and waved her hands. She didn't want to win the championship, so she didn't need to worry, and went to the viewing platform.

The viewing platform is full of people who don't want to hunt, but just watch the excitement. Most of them are female relatives. Shen Qingshu glanced over and found Lin Weizhi at a glance. She was standing on the edge of the viewing platform, looking far away. , I don't know what I'm looking at.

Shen Qingshu got off the horse and led Dahuang over, looked up at her slightly, stretched out his hand with the palm facing up, and slightly bent his slender fingers: "Get down, why are you climbing so high?"

Lin Weizhi frowned, "Zengsheng is back?"

Her cool hand fell obediently on Shen Qingshu's palm, and Shen Qingshu immediately closed his five fingers together, and with a little force, pulled her into his arms.

"Take you with me, do you have anything you want to hunt?" Shen Qingshu tightened the fox fur for her, held the rein of Rhubarb in one hand, and led Lin Weizhi in the other.

Lin Weizhi thought for a while, and wrinkled her nose, "It's bloody... I don't even want to hunt."

Shen Qingshu thought so too, as a boudoir girl, she probably didn't kill much, but she herself got used to it over time.

"Okay, then don't hunt, it's good to go around for a while," Shen Qingshu recalled her eyes on Da Huang from time to time, and asked softly, "Do you want to ride a horse? Da Huang is very good."

Since the last rainy night, Lin Weizhi has not been so afraid. She hesitated for a moment, but did not resist. Ren Shen Qingshu took her hand and gently stroked the horse's head.

"Grab the rein, and I'll help you up." Shen Qingshu put his arms around her waist and pushed her up, helping her onto the horse.

"Aren't you coming up?" After Lin Weizhi sat down firmly, seeing her holding the rein with a smile, she began to panic again.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you for a while." Shen Qingshu put his hand on Da Huang's forehead for a while, and then pulled the rein lightly. Da Huang snorted dissatisfiedly, but still lowered his head and started to walk slowly. The horse walks slower than the donkey.

Lin Weizhi's body froze for a moment, seeing that Da Huang was always obedient and not as scary as she thought, she gradually relaxed.

For the whole morning, Shen Qingshu led the horse, talked to Lin Weizhi, and walked slowly in the forest. When he saw the prey, he just shot an arrow at will, regardless of whether it hit or missed.

Anyway, it's a big deal to rub off on other people, so much hunting is wasted.
