Xia Hongsheng looked through the autumn water, and did not forget to go to the blacksmith to make things, and prepared a qiē, and finally waited for the mid-year holiday.

As soon as the dawn of the morning, Xia Hongsheng had already appeared at the door, Qi Yong led a few soldiers to carry the things prepared by Xia Hongsheng into the carriage, and he also got into the carriage, and then led Qi Yong straight to Mingde Gate to kill him. Not far outside the Mingde Gate, I saw the boss of a group of people, in the middle of a guy in white clothes and white robes and white horses was particularly eye-catching, riding a horse and holding a folding fan in his hand. This contrast is a bit big, Xia Hongsheng grinned, he has seen it in the past few days, this Li Ke is the number one gentleman among this group of gentlemen, and he belongs to the kind of leader, hehe, it is estimated that in a few years, Li Chengqian and Li Tai will be older, and this buddy will not be so chic.

In other words, it will be more profligate than now, when Li Chengqian and Li Tai competed in history, neither of them seemed to have done anything against Li Ke, because Li Ke in history defended himself with self-defilement, deliberately made a look of unambitious and arrogant and immoral, trampled on the fields, gambled and was demoted from the governor to the assassin and other things, it seems that it happened after Li Shimin's sentence "Ke Yingguo is like me", this effect is also significant, so whether it is Li Chengqian or Li Tai, When Li Zhi was the crown prince, he didn't think about moving him Li Ke. It's a pity that in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji was too suspicious, and killed Li Ke in ∞, although Li Ke was rehabilitated during the Shenlong period, but everyone is already dead, what is the use of ordinary. In fact, having said that, among Li Shimin's sons, the ones who really have the ability to open up the Tang Dynasty are Li Chengqian and Li Ke.

All of them were riding horses, and there were many carriages next to them, including people from the Hongwen Pavilion that Xia Hongsheng was familiar with, and there were also many fresh faces.

When the carriage approached, Xia Hongsheng jumped down from the carriage, and was seen by Fang Yiai first, so he grabbed the horse and came over, and the dog couldn't spit out the ivory in his mouth: "Haha, why does Brother Xia still sit in the carriage, it is only women who sit, I am a dignified man, I should gallop to the horse!" ”

Xia Hongsheng was not annoyed, he smiled, pointed to the carriage, and said: "If you want to hunt, of course, you have to cook and eat on the spot to have fun, and I don't want to ride a horse because I brought an artifact of wild barbecue - don't eat it later." ”

"Barbecue in the wild? Artifact? Fang Yiai was stunned, and she didn't know what Xia Hongsheng was talking about.

"Oh, junior brother, are you going to do it yourself again?" Xu Qixian, who came early, saw Xia Hongsheng coming at this time, and also came over, and just heard Xia Hongsheng's words, so he immediately became excited: "Don't say anything else, it's called turning a chicken into a brother and swallowing one by one!" I haven't tasted this for more than a month, so I can't miss it for my brother! ”

Hearing Xu Qixian's words, a big man came over next to him, and asked angrily, "What is that called a chicken?" Is it so that Brother Xu can't forget? ”

Xia Hongsheng looked over, this is a fresh face, he doesn't know him, I heard that he knows Xu Qixian, it should be Xu Qixian who came early, and everyone has introduced each other. But I saw that the big man turned over and got off the horse, arched his hand, and said: "A certain Cheng Chumo, presumably this is the new Jingyang County man Xia Hongsheng Xia Brother Tai?" I often hear the second brother mention the brother's platform, the song "Loyal to the Country" is really exciting, the second brother is now howling at home all day long, the father is also very excited when he hears it, he wants to make friends with the brother on the spot, and he also went to the vestibule to play a set of horse lance, wahahaha......"

"Uh......" Xia Hongsheng grinned, listening to this name, it should be Cheng Chuliang and his brother, that is Cheng Biting Jin and his eldest son, so he said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Cheng will know when the time comes, and give Brother Cheng a reminder first, eat less dry food on the way and keep your stomach!" ”

A group of people introduced each other, waited for the others to arrive, and when the people gathered, they set off together.

The group of gentlemen are not without ability, one by one the horses galloped and at the same time were able to free their hands to shoot bows and arrows, Xia Hongsheng who watched couldn't help but adopt, took the bow and arrow brought by Qi Yong to compare a few times, and looked left and right and couldn't find the target.

"Childe, there!" Qi Yong pointed to a grass nest and reminded in a whisper.

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look, and saw that a hare was hiding in the grass nest at some point, Xia Hongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, this rabbit meat is delicious! So he opened his bow and pulled the bow violently, huh? So heavy?! Xia Hongsheng exerted his strength to feed, his face was flushed, he pulled the bow away, took aim, and then let go...... The bowstring was retracted suddenly, and with a click, the arrow fell a few steps before Xia Hongsheng's body, and the hare was still nesting in the grass nest, unaware.

"Uh, Childe, let's come on with the little one!" Qi Yong was beside him for a long time, and said with a red face.

Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to laugh, you can laugh, I haven't learned archery, so I can't." ”

Saying that, he returned the bow and arrow to Qi Yong, but saw Qi Yong take the bow and arrow, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh, and shot the hare with a snatch, Xia Hongsheng ran over to take a look, and saw that the arrow went straight through the hare's eyes and into the brain, and the leg kicked a few times unconsciously, and there was no movement.

Terrible! Xia Hongsheng turned his head and gave Qi Yong a thumbs up.

"Forget it, let them go crazy, my son can still do his old job." Xia Hongsheng looked at a group of crazy people who were riding into the mountains and forests and didn't know what they were driving, and then said, "Let's go, Qi Yong, let's go and move things down!" ”

In later life, every time he went out to play, Xia Hongsheng was a chef, first, he didn't like to drink, and second, he was not good at playing cards, and when a group of people went out to play, he took care of cooking. Xia Hongsheng has a complete range of guys, and his skills are good, he always likes to call him every time someone goes out to play, Xia Hongsheng has no sister to accompany, he is alone, he is idle and bored, and he naturally goes out as soon as he is bored, with his chef-like skills, no matter what job he changes, he can make a group of friends. Now everyone is hunting, and he is not skilled in horseback riding, let alone archery, so he has to return to his old profession and cook on fires.

The guards rode horses and followed their sons, and the families had already begun to prepare on the edge of the Qujiang River at this time, picking up stones to build stoves and looking for firewood, all of which had their own things. The ladies gathered on the grass not far from the Qujiang River, chatting under the tents set up by the families.

Qi Yong called a few family members to go over to the carriage and carried Xia Hongsheng's "artifact" out, and when they walked along the road, the eyes of those people were attracted, and the family members stopped what they were doing, and the attention of the ladies was also attracted by this big and strange thing. Qi Yong seemed to enjoy this feeling of being in the limelight, carrying things while holding his head proud, looking very proud.

"Childe! Brought! Qi Yong carried things to Xia Hongsheng and shouted loudly.

"Gotta sè!" Xia Hongsheng glanced at him, and then said, "Okay, make a fire, burn the charcoal red and put it in!" ”

Qi Yong led a few family members and began to make a fire next to it, and Xia Hongsheng began to fiddle with other things, iron skewers, fish clips, and other vegetables that were brought in advance.

"Young Master Xia, what are you doing here?" A voice came from behind, Xia Hongsheng looked back, it was a woman he didn't know, but she was standing there very generously, staring very curiously at the object in his hand and the barbecue grill in front of him, as well as the thick iron plate.

"Oh, I'm preparing something for a barbecue in the field, haha, they'll be ready to start hunting later." Xia Hongsheng arched his hand at her and replied.

"Barbecue in the wild? What is that? The woman was puzzled.

Seeing that someone had already talked to Xia Hongsheng, the other women came over here together, they were all curious about the things brought by Qi Yong and the others just now, but they didn't dare to go up and talk to Xia Hongsheng rashly, and at this time, someone started and came over.

"It must be some kind of food, the food made by the elder brother of the Xia family is good." Xu Hui and Changle didn't know where they went, but when they saw a group of women gathered here, they came over, only to find that it was Xia Hongsheng inside.

"A dignified man is doing this? ......" At first, the woman looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise, with a little disdain in her eyes, and the other ladies around her were also surprised.

Xia Hongsheng didn't care, he didn't want to explain this question anymore, Xia Hongsheng always felt that he didn't live in other people's opinions, so he didn't care about the opinions of the people around him, and sorted out the things in his hands by himself.

Instead, Xu Hui took a step forward, squatted down and said, "Brother Xia, I'll help you, what should I do about this?" ”

"It's simple, just help me string the cut things on this iron skewer, don't wear too much, and leave more than an inch empty in front." Xia Hongsheng was not polite, raised his hand and handed over an iron skewer, and shouted to Qi Yong here: "Where's the wine?" ”

Qi Yong turned around and ran to the carriage to bring a jar of wine, this is the cooking wine specially prepared by Xia Hongsheng in the past few days, although due to the limitation of materials, it is far inferior to later generations, but it is a little taste.

"Sister Hui'er, I'm here to help you too." Li Li, the princess of Changle, who was standing on the side, felt that her friend had passed, and she should also help her friend, so she also squatted down and helped Xu Hui pick it up together.

Xia Hongsheng looked at it, and didn't stop it, he came out today to play, and there was nothing disrespectful, this Li Lizhi didn't talk much all day, although she was gentle and self-contained, but she lacked vitality, let her do her own barbecue, maybe it could make her relax.
