208, Young People Can't Control Their Temper (Please Order the Whole Thing)
"Since fifty silver dollars can't buy a whole sika deer..."
Zhang Muzhi thought carefully for a while, then carefully considered his words and said: "Then Mr. Bai, can you give me some venison, antler, blood, deer whip and other parts..."
The horses neigh and the grass neighs.
He blushed a little and became embarrassed.
If his general hadn't spent these days wandering around the colorful streets and alleys of the Bada Hutongs and lost his health, he wouldn't have gone hunting in the western suburbs. Unfortunately, no matter how accurate his archery skills and marksmanship were, he was unlucky. When he arrived in the western suburbs, this fine stag had already been hunted by Bai Gui, and he could only come up to beg for some venison.
"Are you using it for yourself?"
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Muzhi.
He is practicing martial arts, so venison can be used as medicinal food. Even so, he dare not eat more, but Zhang Muzhi is not like a martial artist. Eating so much venison will hurt the body.
Venison was a great supplement, and Qianlong liked it, so he lived longer.
"It's my general..."
Zhang Muzhi originally did not intend to admit it. This would insult the reputation of his general. But now no one in Yanjing knew that his general stayed in the eight alleys all day and night. It was just a matter of whether he would admit it or not. In front of ordinary people, he concealed it and still kept it secret. Okay, but in front of a well-known scholar like Bai Gui, it would be inappropriate to hide...
"You are from Dian Province, and you should be following General Song Po."
"My teacher and General Song Po graduated at the same time, so we can be considered old friends. I will give this sika deer to you."
Bai Gui threw the sika deer hanging on the horse's back to Zhang Muzhi and said with emotion.
"Same period..."
Zhang Muzhi was startled.
Bai Gui is from Qin Province, and his teacher must also be from Qin Province, and Dian Province is thousands of miles away from Qin Province, so how can they be born at the same time? However, he immediately thought of General Songpo's experience of studying in Japan, and he had an idea in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Although it is old, please accept this fifty silver dollars, Mr. Bai."
"Otherwise, my general won't be able to spare me after I go back..."
"By the way, Mr. Bai guessed it right. I am General Songpo's personal guard, Captain Pistol..."
As Zhang Muzhi spoke, he took out his cannon and fired three shots at the field.
Bang bang bang!
The gun was sure to hit, and several prey were killed.
"Brother Mu is awesome!"
Bai Gui nodded and praised with a smile.
What Zhang Muzhi meant was that the reason I came to buy a sika deer was because I couldn't find a suitable one in the mountains. Otherwise, with his shooting skills, hunting a sika deer would not be difficult...
Accept the love, but don’t want to fall too far!
I also want to show off my skills!
Bai Gui did not refuse and accepted fifty silver coins.
He does not lack the fifty silver dollars, but if he chooses not to accept it, it will be a deliberate act of kindness. The person receiving the kindness will feel uncomfortable, and the kindness will become an enemy. In addition, he gave the sika deer a price of fifty silver dollars, which was considered a discount. This small favor was acceptable to Zhang Muzhi.
Zhang Muzhi hung the sika deer on his horse and rode away.
In a blink of an eye, no one was seen.
"Without the sika deer, Miss Bai will probably be unhappy after returning."
Jin Peng shook his head and chuckled.
It's just a transfer of a small sika deer, it's not a big deal. But the conversation in that scene just now left a deep impression on Jin Pengju.
Same period?
Born at the same time?
In Qin Province, apart from General Zhang, there is probably no one else.
He never expected that Bai Gui still had certain connections in Hunji. This made him alert. Although he had been very polite to Bai Gui in the past two days, it was out of self-cultivation. Now he had to pay more attention to things.
The officialdom is full of constraints, which does not mean that with a high official position, one can call the shots.
"With so many prey, it's enough."
"Xiuzhu is more obedient to me, brother Pengzhen, don't worry."
Bai Gui replied casually.
Pretending not to understand what Jin Pengzhen said.
All of them are veterans among the flowers, and every word is full of color.
Although the sika deer, the final treasure, was missing, the group of people returned with a full load of prey on their horses and on both sides of their saddles.
Arrive at Jingming Tower.
"There's a lot to hunt."
Several wives and young ladies were also stunned. They usually came to play and hunt a lot, but today there were so many prey, which really exceeded their expectations.
"It's all thanks to Brother Meihe's shooting skills. He raised Youji alive and never missed a beat."
"Brother Meihe has a good reputation for archery in the East..."
The group of people praised.
Bai Gui is a decent person, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a future, so they are happy to support him. Who knows that one day Bai Gui’s connections will come in handy. Now that Jin Mansion is in power, but Xun Qing has just left, who can dare to say that Jin Mansion will still be at its peak in the future...
There are many such stories in history.
For example, Yan Song in the former Ming Dynasty was the chief minister of the cabinet and had a great official position. His son Yan Shifan even invented the beauty bowl and so on, which was extremely luxurious. But later Yan Shifan was beheaded and the Yan family was ransacked. Jiajing released Yan Song back to his hometown. At this time, Yan Song had to steal the tributes from other people's ancestral graves and live in a snail's nest in the cemetery.
Heshen of the former Qing Dynasty, etc. are all vivid in my mind.
Not to mention the widely circulated novel "Dream of Red Mansions", the Jia family was left in a state of complete despair.
These are all things worthy of vigilance.
Ordinary people, they may be arrogant and forget to pay attention to details. But for promising people like Bai Gui, not only will they take the initiative to make friends, but their parents will also ask for it.
"I didn't expect Meihe to be so powerful..."
Several ladies praised him.
They knew this long ago, but they just used this as an excuse to enhance their friendship.
"These prey have just been hunted and are still fresh. I brought a cook and we will light a fire and cook here in Jingming Tower for a meal."
Mrs. Jin said.
Mrs. Jin is an elder, and if the request is not excessive, the younger generation will not refute it. Besides, this suggestion is reasonable. They brought a cook just to eat game as soon as possible after hunting.
After welcoming the hunting team, the group went back to Jingming Tower.
Looking at the scenery from afar.
The cooks who cooked were all imperial chefs and had experience.
After a while.
The feast of delicacies from mountains and seas has been placed in the private room upstairs.
"There is still time now."
Bai Gui stretched out his right hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was 2:30 in the afternoon.
"Just now Xiuzhu said that if you have time, go to Chang'an Temple to have a look. Now let's go first..."
He took the initiative to invite.
In the past few days, I haven't been alone with Bai Xiuzhu. Although the relationship has improved, it is inevitable that there are many light bulbs. Now is a good time. They will not be too conspicuous if they leave the table. After all, it is not the first time to attend the banquet.
"This..."
Bai Xiuzhu was shy.
"Go, go, you young people just can't stand it."
Mrs. Jin waved her hand.
Bai Xiuzhu's affairs should be handled by Mrs. Bai, but her status is not low. She is Jin Quan's original wife, and Jin Shuan is Bai Xiongqi's master, which is equivalent to Mrs. Jin being Bai Xiongqi's master's wife, so it is not excessive for her to ask a few questions.
