Chapter 206 Xia Miao
In summer, there is always more rain in Bianliang than in other areas.
Mu Jin has been in Bianliang for almost a month. She originally wanted to take some time to go out and see the prosperity of Bianliang. However, during this month, Bianliang was shrouded in rain for more than half of the time, which made her plan to go out fail.
The hot weather, coupled with heavy rain, always makes the ground muddy and unpleasant, but fortunately the weather is clear today.
There are many ice cubes placed in the house, which emit a slight coolness, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally.
Today is June 15th, the annual summer hunting of the royal family of Southern Shu.
Early in the morning, Qing'er helped Mu Jin wash up and said, "Miss, do you know why the Southern Shu Kingdom is called Xia Miao for hunting this time?"
Mu Jin picked up a pearl hairpin on the dressing table and played with it casually. She smiled and said, "You seem to be being mysterious. Did you ask the people in the princess's mansion about it?"
Qing'er said proudly, "Miss, don't ask this question for now. Tell me quickly, do you know the meaning of Xia Miao?"
In fact, Su Yi had told Mu Jin why this hunt was called Xia Miao. However, when Mu Jin saw Qing'er's face that looked like she expected her to say she didn't know, she suddenly found it a little funny, so she shook her head, pretending not to know.
"It's rare that there are things that I know but Miss doesn't." Qing'er saw that Mu Jin didn't know, her eyes lit up, and she said happily: "I have asked Uncle Kun about this Xia Miao. Miss, do you want to hear why the hunting of Nan Shu Kingdom is called Xia Miao?"
Mu Jin nodded and said to Qing'er: "Tell me about it."
Qing'er immediately told Mu Jinpu: "Xia Miao has two meanings in Nan Shu. The first is that Nan Shu has specific sayings and etiquette for hunting in four seasons."
"Spring hunting is called shou, summer hunting is called xiao, autumn hunting is called xian, and winter hunting is called shu. Among them, 'xia xiao' refers to the hunting activities carried out by the royal family in summer."
"This was not only a form of royal entertainment and military training, but also a national event held in the intervals between farming activities according to the farming season."
"Secondly, summer seedlings can also refer to summer seedlings. In Southern Shu, the summer seedling period is an important stage in the growth and development of crops, which requires farmers to carefully manage and care for them."
"Also, there are many wild animals that come out to eat crops in the summer in Southern Shu. Therefore, from the previous emperor of Southern Shu to the current Emperor Gaozong, hunting may not be done in the other three seasons, but hunting activities must be held in this summer."
After Qing'er finished speaking, she looked at Mu Jin with a proud look on her face, waiting for Mu Jin's praise.
Mu Jin nodded and said, "Our Qing'er has really grown in ability. You were able to find out about such a big event in Southern Shu. Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work next time."
When Qing'er heard this, she happily said to Mu Jin, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss."
After Qing'er finished dressing Mu Jin, she saw Su Yi walking in from outside, dressed neatly.
Because he was going hunting today, Su Yi wore crimson purple riding clothes which was convenient for hunting.
The whole set of riding clothes has a round collar and narrow sleeves, a belt at the waist, and dark cloud patterns embroidered on the boots. It is tailored to Su Yi's body shape very well. From a distance, he looks like a neat and straightforward nobleman.
As a female member of the family, Mu Jin did not need to ride or shoot, so she did not need to wear riding clothes. Also, because the weather was hot, Qing'er specially found a refreshing chest-length gauze skirt for Mu Jin, and a thin gauze dress as the outer cover. Her beautiful figure was faintly visible under the gauze dress, so charming that people could not take their eyes off her.
Thinking that Mu Jin would appear in the hunting ground today in this gauze dress, and that Mu Jin's beauty would definitely be seen by other men, Su Yi couldn't help but frown.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the styles of the clothes from Southern Shu Kingdom before, but now that they were worn by Mu Jin, he felt that the clothes from Southern Shu Kingdom were very inappropriate. Wouldn't this attract wolves?
Mu Jin looked at Su Yi's frowning face and asked in confusion: "Why? Doesn't it look good?"
Su Yi said: "The wind is strong in the hunting grounds and it will make people catch a cold. It is better to wear a cloak."
Mu Jin asked doubtfully, "Are you sure? How can the weather in June be so hot that it can kill people? Besides, isn't it spring-like all year round in your Bianliang? How can it be cold?"
Su Yi was about to try to persuade Mu Jin, but Mu Jin rolled her eyes at him and walked away from him.
Su Yi shook his head helplessly and quickly caught up with Mu Jin.
When the two of them got outside, they saw that Uncle Kun had already prepared everything, including the guards, maids, and utensils.
This time, surrounding Mu Jin's carriage were several female guards who had gone to Lin Mansion with Mu Jin last time. This time, they still dressed up as Mu Jin's personal maids to protect her safety.
Despite the thorough arrangement, Mu Jin felt somewhat uneasy. He felt that something was going to happen in this hunting ground.
Su Yi found Mu Jin like this a little funny, so she walked up to Mu Jin and talked to her.
"Are you scared? Actually, you don't have to go."
Mu Jin asked: "Is there really something wrong?"
In fact, Mu Jin's identity was awkward. She was not Su Yi's princess, nor was she a female relative of an official in the Southern Shu Kingdom. Although everyone knew that Su Yi brought back a fiancée from the Eastern Yue Kingdom, they were not married after all. In fact, it didn't matter whether Mu Jin went to the Xia Miao hunting trip or not.
It’s just that Mu Jin has been so idle in Southern Shu this month that she feels uncomfortable. This time, she can go hunting and experience the charm of hunting in Southern Shu, which is much better than staying in the princess’s mansion.
Su Yi raised the corner of his lips: "Even if there is, with me here, Ah Jin doesn't need to worry, but if Ah Jin is afraid~"
Mu Jinbai glanced at Su Yi and got into the carriage without waiting for him to finish his words.
The Shushan Hunting Ground is located in the north of Bianliang, only half a day's journey from Bianliang.
Because it was a royal event, those who participated in the summer seedling hunting, except for the emperor, were royal relatives, nobles, and officials above the third rank.
The troop set out from Bianliang, and the imperial court also dispatched a large number of imperial guards and imperial physicians to accompany the emperor.
Except for the emperor and his female relatives, all the men in the entourage rode their horses, looking carefree and happy.
Su Yi has been a bold and unrestrained man in the Kingdom of Southern Shu for so many years. This time, he refused to ride a horse and insisted on riding in the same carriage with Mu Jin.
The carriage for the female members was originally small, and there was a low couch, a small table, and an ice bucket to cool off inside. It seemed spacious for Mu Jin sitting alone, but when Su Yi suddenly squeezed in, it became quite crowded.
Su Yi leaned on the couch, looking lazy, completely lacking the image of the noble and arrogant prince he usually had.
Mu Jin looked at Su Yi with disdain and said, "You are a grown man, hiding in this woman's carriage, do you have any shame?"
Su Yi said to Mu Jin with a smile: "It's enough for me to have face in front of Ah Jin, why should I give face to other outsiders?"
Mu Jin frowned: "But you are squeezing me here? I see that the carriage of the women of the Lin family is quite big, how about you go over and sit in it?"
"I won't go. That woman from the Lin family has coveted my beauty for years. If I go there, she will eat me alive. It's safer for me to stay with Ah Jin."
Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi. She was already accustomed to seeing Su Yi being so shameless, so she was too lazy to pay attention to Su Yi anymore. Instead, she picked up the book and started reading by herself.
Su Yi, who had succeeded, saw that Mu Jin didn't chase him away anymore, so he curled up his lips and dozed off on the couch.
