Aoyama Chronicle

Chapter 86 Hunting

"Daddy, daddy, you're back!"

The immature child's voice came from a distance from the corridor, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

"Young master, slow down and be careful!" The servants who followed hurriedly did not dare to leave the left and right, for fear of accidents.

Zhong Yiwen looked at the little bun running towards him with a smile, squatted down, and when the little bun ran over, he hugged the little bun in his arms, kissed him, and kept laughing: "Little villain, you are not afraid of falling!" It's gone!"

The little bun rolled his eyes, and said with an air: "Don't be afraid, Daddy will follow me!"

Zhong Yiwen laughed loudly, waved his hands to let the servants who followed Xiao Baozi go down first, and carried Xiao Baozi to the backyard by himself.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Yiwen's family had spent three years in the capital, and soon it was time for the exam.In the past three years, apart from the fact that Zhong Yiwen showed great demeanor during the palace examination at the beginning, he was very low-key afterwards.The post of attendant in the Hanlin Academy is considered a leisurely position, and it was originally necessary to give lectures to the new scholars who entered the Imperial Academy, but in fact Zhong Yiwen and the others did not enter the Imperial Academy as a regular scholar.Apart from Zhong Yiwen, those who entered the Imperial Academy were those who came through the back door. Their names were not right and their words were not right, so they didn't need special people to teach them.In addition, Zhong Yiwen himself is also a newcomer to the Imperial Academy, and it is not his turn to give lectures, so it is really easy for him to be a student at the Imperial Academy.

If it wasn't for Mr. Shen Ying, the academician in charge of the Imperial Academy, who chatted with Zhong Yiwen from time to time, Zhong Yiwen would have been submerged in the crowd. After three years, who would still remember him as the champion who was once so popular.However, Zhong Yiwen is very satisfied with such a low-key life, not to mention whether it is really low-key, probably only Zhong Yiwen knows.

Zhong Yiwen's family's Big and Little Baozi are over two years old, they are lively and active, and what makes people speechless is that the big Baozi Zhong Baisu is cute and cute, similar to Xiaochen when he was young.But the little bun Zhong Baizhi is not a worry-free person, he is a villain at a young age.

As soon as Zhong Yiwen entered the backyard with Bai Zhi in his arms, Qin Fei saw it, and immediately his face sank again: "Bai Zhi, didn't you just let you sit there obediently and learn to read?"

Bai Zhi was not afraid of anyone else except Qin Fei. Seeing Qin Fei's face change, she immediately got down obediently and ran to Qin Fei's side with a cautious look: "Ah, I was wrong. I think Dad is coming back soon, so I sneaked over to wait for Dad. I won’t dare anymore!”

Qin Fei really couldn't get angry with Bai Zhi, who was [-] to [-]% similar to Zhong Yiwen, but he also knew that almost no one could control Bai Zhi at home. No matter what it looks like, I can only harden my heart: "Let's go to Bai Su to learn characters together!"

Zhong Yiwen had never intervened in disciplining the two little buns. Anyway, he himself had nothing to do with the two little buns. What kind of strict father and benevolent, it simply doesn't work in the Zhong family.Zhong Yiwen wished he could spoil the two little buns to heaven.The big bun Bai Su is a kid, he looks somewhat similar to Qin Fei, although he was a little stunned, Zhong Yiwen couldn't help but like him.Little Baozi Bai Zhi is a brother, smart since he was a child, with a sweet mouth, there is no one in the whole family who doesn't like him.

"Okay, the two of them are still young, they will understand when they are older!" Zhong Yiwen interceded with Qin Fei in his arms.

Qin Fei gave Zhong Yiwen a white look: "Three years old and eighty years old, they are not young anymore. Bai Zhi is very smart, he can understand the reasoning with him, if he doesn't teach at this time, he learns bad things, what should we do?"

"Okay, okay!" Zhong Yiwen completely let go of the education of the two little buns, and let Qin Fei teach as he pleases.If it grows crooked, it will be broken again in the future, and his Zhong Yiwen's child will have bad luck.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Qin Fei finally realized that the time Zhong Yiwen came back seemed wrong, the sun hadn't set yet.

"The Holy Majesty is going to go spring hunting tomorrow. You can bring your relatives. How about going together tomorrow? After you bring your bow, you don't have a chance to use it once or twice a year. Let's join in the fun this time!"

This is also the reason why Zhong Yiwen came back early to prepare.Kyoto is no better than before when they were in Zhongjia Village. There was almost no place to hunt. After Fu Steward and the others helped Qin Fei bring the bow and arrow, they put it on the shelf for most of the time.This time the Holy Majesty is preparing for the spring hunting, and officials above the third rank can bring their relatives to participate.Zhong Yiwen is only an official of the fifth rank, and he was not qualified originally, but he has a face in the holy place, so Eunuch De specially reminded Zhong Yiwen that if he wants to bring relatives, he can also bring his relatives.

Qin Fei's heart skipped a beat, but he knew that the capital is no better than Zhong's Village, and he didn't want to cause Zhong Yiwen any trouble: "Let's forget about it?"

"Huh? Are you afraid of losing to me again?" Zhong Yiwen joked.

"How is it possible?" Qin Fei had never beaten Zhong Yiwen in hunting with Zhong Yiwen before, but that was Qin Fei's intention to let Zhong Yiwen go.

Zhong Yiwen nodded: "Then let's go together! Let Butler Chen and the others help watch over the two little buns tomorrow, and let's sneak out."

Qin Fei looked at Zhong Yiwen, feeling a little bit dumbfounded: "Is it because of you to do this? It's lucky that the two little buns still like you so much."

Zhong Yiwen can't control that much, ever since having two little buns, at least half of Qin Fei's thoughts have been put on them, Zhong Yiwen has long felt that he has fallen out of favor.With the opportunity to kidnap Qin Fei this time, Zhong Yiwen couldn't care less.

The place Haruki arranged was in the Royal Enclosure on the outskirts of Kyoto, a semi-enclosed place.As early as half a month ago, the paddock began to be cleaned up, and some ferocious tigers, wolves, blind bears, etc. were driven out, leaving behind some prey that were not too lethal.Compared with real wild hunting, the danger is much less.After all, those who came here were all the emperor's princes, officials and ministers, not real hunters.

Haruka's team started from the city of Kyoto, and relatives of officials could ride a car or ride a horse, and there was no requirement.Many civil servants also chose to ride a car, but the military officers all chose to ride a horse.

Zhong Yiwen originally planned to ride the carriage in a low-key manner, but as soon as he arrived at the place, Mr. Shen Ying sent two horses over.It goes without saying that it was prepared for Zhong Yiwen and Qin Fei.

Over the past three years, Zhong Yiwen and Mr. Shen have gotten to know each other a lot. Apart from the reason they worked together in the Imperial Academy, the most important thing is that Shen Ying and Zhong Yiwen share similar temperaments. Now the two can be regarded as both teachers and friends.Zhong Yiwen took Qin Fei to visit Shen Ying more than once, and Shen Ying was very familiar with the couple.

Zhong Yiwen and Qin Fei looked at each other and smiled, they could only get on their horses and follow Chunshou's team forward.

The royal enclosure is not too far from the capital, but the speed of their group is not fast, so it took nearly half a day to arrive in the enclosure.Tents have been built one by one on the edge of the paddock, one for each household, and they have been ready for a long time.

The lunch was already arranged by the Holy Majesty's people, and they don't need to prepare it separately, just let them go and pick it up.Zhong Yiwen and Qin Fei didn't bring anyone over, but Lord Shen Ying who arranged a tent next to them called a servant to help them.

There were no other activities on the first day, and many people would choose to try hunting to warm up after the afternoon rest.The real hunting competition was arranged on the second day, and the No.1 in the hunting competition that day would be awarded the title of warrior, so many people, especially the military officers, were eager to get the first place.The second night is the bonfire party, which is also the busiest time. On the third day, the spring hunting is over and we will return in the afternoon.

Zhong Yiwen is not very interested in the title of warrior, he prefers to go out with Qin Fei when there are not many people.After eating, neither of them rested, Zhong Yiwen directly pulled Qin Fei, took a bow and arrow and rode out.

When Qin Fei was hunting in Daqingshan, he didn't have any horses for transportation, but because of the rugged mountain roads in Daqingshan, the horses couldn't walk at all.But this royal enclosure is different, the enclosure stretches as far as the eye can see, and only at the far end of the sky can one see the shadow of the mountains and forests.If you don't ride a horse and just walk, you really can't go hunting.It would take time for Qin Fei to adapt to hunting on horseback.

Zhong Yiwen didn't have this trouble. He knew how to ride a horse, and he had tried riding a horse to hunt in the past. Although he was not as proficient as when he was on the ground, he was not too bad overall.The two of them didn't run far after leaving the tent, Zhong Yiwen shot a bow and arrow, and hunted a small deer.Qin Fei didn't even find a chance to make a move, which made Zhong Yiwen burst with confidence in an instant.

"Hahaha...Qin Fei, it seems that you will lose to me again this time!" Zhong Yiwen spoke boldly.

Qin Fei grabbed the reins and was still familiar with riding and hunting. He didn't pay attention to Zhong Yiwen's provocation at all, but was very excited: "Then let's compare, this time I won't let the water go."

"Okay, come on!" Zhong Yiwen had no objection to Qin Fei's words.He thought that hunting in the mountains would definitely not be Qin Fei's match, but on this flat land, he had to ride a horse. Qin Fei could count on one hand the number of times he had ridden a horse so far.So Zhong Yiwen felt that no matter what he did, he would not lose to someone who could not ride a horse smoothly.

Although the two agreed to have a competition, they did not separate. They followed each other as before.While Qin Fei was still trying to control the horse, Zhong Yiwen had already shot again and again, hunting two more rabbits in a short while.It has to be said that the prey in this paddock are raised without any vigilance, and they are much easier to hunt than those in the mountains. Even Zhong Yiwen can gain a lot.

"You have had enough of being in the limelight, it's time for me to come!"

Zhong Yiwen turned his head and saw that at some point Qin Fei was able to shoot with a bow on horseback. Although his accuracy was still a bit off, it was only a matter of time before he became familiar with it.

Zhong Yiwen felt that it would not be so easy for him to defeat Qin Fei today.However, it is meaningful to have a real competition with Qin Fei, isn't it?Zhong Yiwen felt his blood rushing all over his body, and his vigor and unyielding energy came up in an instant.
