"Fifth brother, let me borrow the wine bottle on your table!"
The young man in red robe stretched out a hand. Rong Jiu looked down. Seeing this, Tao Ye hurriedly stood up and picked up the silver wine flask on the table.
Gu Shiyu wanted to reach out directly to Tao Ye and take it, but the maid didn't mean to hand it to him, and instead handed it to his fifth brother.
Rong Jiu put the wine bottle in his hand again.
Thinking of trouble in his heart, Gu Shiyu opened the lid of the wine bottle and threw it to the side. The whole bottle of wine poured on the head of the man at his feet.
"No need to thank me! If you want to get drunk with osmanthus and steal other people's things, just tell me directly!"
Several gentlemen from the academy were about to persuade, but Gu Shiyu moved his feet away.
"Hurry and help Master Sun up!"
As long as you don't continue to hit people.
When the purple-robed man was helped up, wine was dripping from his hair, his purple-gold crown was tilted, and his face was still stained with some dirt from the ground.
Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw this appearance, especially those tributes who also came from the prefecture and county and whose family background was slightly humble.
Before being helped away, the man in purple robe wanted to glare at Gu Shiyu, but when he saw the other person moving, as if he was about to step forward, he dodged and turned his head.
"Keep eating! Keep eating!"
The gentleman from the academy said hurriedly.
The attendant gave Rong Jiu another bottle of wine.
"Brother Ajiu, did Sun Shao make you unhappy?"
When Mingyue saw the movement here, she also came over with her maid, looking at Rong Jiu with an angry and worried look.
"It's just a small matter! Go back and have a meal, I'll ask the attendants to roast venison for you!"
Rong Jiu was looking at Tao Ye's back. The sound just now was not gentle, but the little maid was so delicate that she could bear it.
Hearing Mingyue's voice, he glanced at the little maid who was kneeling straight on the side, her eyebrows lowered and she was pouring wine for herself.
He knew that the fear was not because of the little maid's stubbornness, but because of the bright moon.
"Is this deer the one Brother Ajiu hunted?"
Mingyue looked happy.
"Yes, fresh venison is the most delicious, go and try it!"
It happened that the waiter also served those roasted wild animals at this time.
"Brother Ajiu specially hunted it for Mingyue. Mingyue must taste it!"
Mingyue said and happily returned to her seat opposite.
At this moment, a disdainful snort came from the side.
"Okay, your fifth brother hunted this for you, so eat more!"
Pei Weinan smiled and placed his piece of roasted venison in front of the red-robed boy.
"Brother Pei, why do you sound so awkward to me?"
Gu Shiyu picked up the roasted deer leg, took a bite, and said dissatisfiedly.
"Eat quickly, don't care what I say, as long as the venison hunted by your fifth brother is delicious!"
Pei Weinan poured himself a glass of wine and joked.
But his eyes met Rong Jiu's.
The kick Sun Shao received was not light, and there were no visible wounds, but he would definitely not be able to go hunting in the afternoon.
Those people's plan must be to replace them.
Rong Jiu nodded almost invisible and glanced up inadvertently.
Two places apart, two maids beside Wei Yunqizheng were serving cautiously, one on the left and the other on the right.
Pei Weinan's eyes showed relief and joy.
It would be great if this person participated in it himself.
Under the eyes of everyone, Rong Jiu would not ask Tao Ye to have a meal together.
Moreover, the little maid was afraid of the bright moon and did not dare.
The fresh wild game tasted delicious and was filled with spices said to be imported from West Vietnam. The students ate to their heart's content.
"If you don't want to go to the princess, just stay in the tent by yourself and don't move around!"
After lunch, most of the noble gentlemen in Shengjing did not want to go into the forest anymore. They just wanted to relax in the tent with the warm and fragrant nephrite in their arms.
Rong Jiu and his party still want to go.
"Yes, this slave knows!"
Finally, her efforts were not wasted in the first place, and Taoye was happy to be able to stop waiting in front of the princess.
"Master, be careful too!"
Taoye's heart had already flown to the little silver fox in the cage in the tent, but her moist eyes glanced at Rong Jiu's face, and then bowed her head politely.
Rong Jiu looked at the "worry" that the little maid "inadvertently" expressed, and her initial tone became smoother.
Soon, the students who continued to hunt in the forest had mounted their horses and galloped away. With Gu Shiyu there, Rong Jiu and the others took the lead, and the sergeants behind them also hurriedly followed.
There are many students in Shouyang Academy who are relatives of the emperor. After high-ranking officials and dignitaries, these people have a distinguished status and cannot get into trouble. Therefore, every autumn hunting in the academy, one of the six guards in Beijing is responsible for the safety of the hunting ground.
This year it was Zuo Weiwei, led by a Zhonglang general named Cao Yun, who was single-handedly promoted by Rong Yanbo, Duke of Jingguo.
He was very concerned about Rong Jiu, the youngest son of the Duke's family.
Taoye saw that Princess Mingyue and the noble ladies were still looking at the students riding away, so she walked back quietly.
Her steps were rare and urgent, because she was really missing the little silver fox in the tent.
boom!
As they approached the tent, they suddenly bumped into someone.
Under the strong impact, Taoye fell to the ground.
"Girl, I'm sorry, the villain didn't mean it!"
What he bumped into was a sergeant in armor, who was squatting on the ground and looking at Taoye with a look of shame.
There is a long old scar on the left hand that reaches out to support Taoye.
"Don't bother me, big brother, I'll get up by myself!"
Taoye lowered her head and moved back, turned slightly sideways, propped herself up with her right hand, and then got up from the ground.
"The girl didn't fall, did she? It's all the villain's fault!"
As the sergeant spoke, he looked Peach Leaf up and down, as if to confirm whether Peach Leaf was really well.
"I'm fine!"
Taoye looked shy and walked past the sergeant with her head lowered.
The sergeant behind him frowned and looked at Taoye's figure for a long time until he turned around and turned around to the tent next to him.
As for Taoye, as soon as she entered the tent, she raised her head that had been lowered, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and showed a thoughtful look on her face.
If you just accidentally bumped into someone, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But the man just now suddenly came out of the tent on the other side at an angle.
She has also seen some of the sergeants patrolling the tent. They all walk steadily and have an eye for all directions. They cannot be so reckless.
And although her pace just now was a bit fast, it was not so fast that people couldn't react. What made Taoye even more puzzled was that when she bumped into her, there was an obvious momentum towards her. It seemed like the other party bumped into her intentionally.
And when she fell to the ground, the man apologized to her, keeping his eyes on her.
But he didn't know the sergeant.
Why would a patrol sergeant at a hunting ground be so "caring" about his maid?
