Chapter 585 Hunting
"It just so happens that my son is about to finish the exam, so why don't we go out for a walk as a family. I was thinking about this when the Jiutian Restaurant was burned down by fire. But at that time, I happened to meet Zhao Laowu's daughter coming here. If When it comes to going out for fun, it will inevitably be inappropriate." After Shen Nanshan finished speaking, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Although I say this, I am not a stingy person."
His deliberate explanation made Yao Shu laugh. Yao Shu couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, she responded: "Of course I know you are not a stingy person, but if we go out for fun, where should we go?"
"I heard that Marquis Ning Yuan had a garden nearby. I thought I might go and take a look." Now Shen Nanshan has regarded Marquis Ning Yuan as his elder brother. After adapting to this status, he is no longer overly polite.
When Yao Shu heard what he said, she couldn't help but nodded slightly: "I guess the garden of the Marquis is not too bad, but I don't know if we can borrow it."
"It's just a garden, why can't he lend it to us for fun?" Shen Nanshan waved his hand nonchalantly, "If he doesn't agree, we will go sightseeing. There are many mountains around the capital, so why bother with a garden?" Woolen cloth."
Shen Nanshan would not feel disappointed because Marquis Ning Yuan did not lend him the garden, nor would he waste energy trying to guess what Marquis Ning Yuan thought.
This was something that Yao Shu admired very much. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Actually, from a certain point of view, you are also very smart."
When Shen Nanshan heard this, he gradually became proud again.
"I'm pretty smart."
The two of them spent the whole day noisily.
Shen Fugui returned to his room and began to fall asleep. When he woke up, it was already night.
When he came to the courtyard, he found that everyone was already asleep.
Looking up at the full moon, I felt filled with emotion.
He missed the princess so much these days that he realized that the princess had already occupied many places in his heart.
He has always been very green about relationships because he has never been exposed to them before. Now, this feeling is also very unfamiliar.
But he can be sure that he likes the princess and hopes to have a future with her.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly.
Seeing the white mist he exhaled disperse in the air, his heart felt inexplicably empty.
Early the next morning, Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan arrived at Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
After Ning Yuanhou learned the purpose of the two of them coming today, he immediately beamed with joy: "Either way, there is a tacit understanding between brothers. The emperor is planning to go hunting in the woods these days. It just so happens that the Shen family also wants to go out for some fun, so why not Let’s join the hunt together.”
Hearing this, Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan were also happy.
"This is a great thing, but I don't know if we can enter the hunting ground with our status."
"Of course you can. You are my confidants, Marquis Ningyuan. Isn't it difficult for me to use the title of Marquis Ningyuan?" Marquis Ningyuan patted Shen Nanshan on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.
After telling the Shen family about this, everyone was overjoyed and full of curiosity about this hunt.
Shen Fugui was even more happy. As long as he could enter the hunting ground, he would naturally be able to see the princess.
Although he is currently unable to have close contact with the princess due to his status, he can still take a look at her from a distance.
As long as he knew that the princess was well recently, he would feel at ease.
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "I wonder what we need to prepare?"
This question also stumped Yao Shu. After all, she had never participated in such a thing.
Except for Shen Qiu, there was no one in the Shen family present who could ride a horse.
Seeing everyone lost in thought, Sun Qing on the side said: "Actually, you don't need to prepare anything, you just need to prepare some necessities."
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to her, she lowered her head in embarrassment for a moment.
"I have participated in hunting in towns before. Although it cannot be compared with the capital, I still know some relevant etiquette. In fact, I don't particularly care about these. After all, happiness is the main thing."
Next, Sun Qing briefly introduced the matters that need attention.
After everyone present had a brief understanding, they also had a basic idea in their hearts.
Soon the day of hunting came. The Shen family took the lead in arriving at Ningyuanhou's mansion and decided to go with Ningyuanhou.
Ning Yuanhou's son is away fighting all year round, and he and his wife are the only two people at home.
Seeing such a large group of people in the Shen family, he was inevitably a little envious.
Turning to look at Shen Nanshan, he whispered: "You are so lucky to have so many children."
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife." Shen Nanshan took Yao Shu's hand.
Seeing the loving look of the two people, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou couldn't help but chuckle.
Yao Shu quickly added: "Master Hou, isn't he even more blessed? Having a beauty like Mrs. Hou by his side for so many years is really enviable."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuanhou and his wife Ningyuan Hou looked at each other and smiled.
The four people were enjoying themselves in the carriage, and the Shen family sitting in the carriage behind them were also chatting happily.
When the three carriages arrived at the hunting place, they saw that the place was already bustling with people.
Seeing such a scene, the Shen family inevitably felt a little frightened.
After all, they rarely see so many high-ranking officials and nobles on weekdays. Although many people have eaten at Jiutian Restaurant, they are all guests after all.
Today, they have to meet these dignitaries and nobles as equals, and they will inevitably feel a lot of pressure.
The biggest worry is that these high-ranking officials and nobles will look down on the Shen family and take the opportunity to ridicule them.
So before coming, Yao Shu had warned them not to get angry on the spot no matter what they heard.
When they go out at this time, they not only represent the Shen family's face, but also the face of Ning Yuanhou. If he is found out by outsiders, even Marquis Ningyuan will be laughed at in the future.
Several people sat upright, corrected their posture, and slowly came to a deserted place.
Most of the men here go hunting in groups on horseback, and many choose to stay with their wives or mothers.
The women who stayed here chatted with each other, but they didn't know whether there was a smile behind the scenes in their words.
Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan were sitting under the sun, rarely feeling very comfortable.
The rest of the Shen family decided to go for a walk in the forest. Yao Shu repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety and be careful with swords, and then let them go in.
Neither Yao Shu nor Shen Nanshan spoke, quietly enjoying the warm sunshine.
But although they don't want to provoke others, they will inevitably be approached by others.
