Some people were dissatisfied with her arrangement and wanted to say something, but they were frightened by Wuyue and others who came out with swords and dared not speak anymore.
When Wang Xifeng returned to Rongqing Hall, the hall was already full of people from the Jia family who came to pay their respects. She didn't bother to talk to them, and quickly came to the old lady's side and whispered: "Old ancestor, after all, it's not our aunt's belly.
The girl who came out is just not close to our family.
Even though you had already given the order, they didn't take it to heart. When I went to invite the people, they had already set off, and I'm afraid they've all left the city now."
After hearing this, Jia Mu's face immediately darkened, and she said with dissatisfaction: "I thought that girl was very skilled, and the maids around her were also good at martial arts. Maybe Baoyu would be safer if she went with her.
I didn't expect that she would not take me seriously. That's all. If she doesn't want to, forget it. She can't catch up and force me.
Go and instruct people to select more guards and follow Baoyu later.
Hunting is no different than others, and the hunting ground is so far away. If we don’t take more people with us, if something happens, it will be too late to regret it.”
Wang Xifeng heard this, smiled and agreed a few words, and hurriedly went to make arrangements again.
After she left, everyone asked Jia Mu what happened. When they learned that Lin Jiusi had set off first without waiting for Baoyu, everyone was speechless.
Everyone knew what kind of person Lin Jiusi was. When the old lady mentioned this before, none of them agreed.
Now that they learned that the other party really set off alone, they only had a feeling that it was indeed the case, and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
The other party's attitude of not liking Baoyu has been made clear. How could he agree to the old lady's proposal? It's just that the old lady is only thinking about Baoyu and can't see through it.
Of course, these two people were not the only ones to get up early. There were also the masters from various offices in the capital, especially the junior officials with low status, who got up much earlier than others.
First, they were afraid that they would go late and offend someone they shouldn't offend, and second, they wanted to hook up with a high-status family at the city gate so that they could get a good future for themselves and their family.
As for families with higher status, although they don't get up too early, they don't start too late either. After all, they also want to make connections and pave the way for their family.
If they meet someone they know well on the way, they will ride in the same carriage, which shows that they have a good friendship. At the same time, they can discuss some things together, deepen their family contacts, and find out the details.
Although the relationship between the children of these families is very good, it is all based on interests. Once they discover their own flaws, I am afraid that the first one to take action will be their closest friends.
There are "fake friendships" involving interests, and of course there are close friends with true feelings, but such situations are rare. In such a big environment, it is rare to meet one.
Carriages were heading out of the city one after another. In addition, there were more guards and servants from each government accompanying them, and soon there was a crowd at the city gate.
Fortunately, they were leaving the city and not entering the city. The city gate guards were not very strict. They checked briefly and confirmed that there were no problems before letting them go. However, the congestion problem at the city gate was quickly solved.
.
After leaving the city and reuniting with the families they met, the teams of each family moved quickly and quickly distanced themselves from the main force. From this, the background of each family could be seen.
For people who are well off and capable, the horses that pull the carts are all good horses, and their speed cannot be compared with ordinary horses.
In addition, there are also the actions of the people accompanying you. Those who are trained and those who are not trained are two different concepts, and their actions are naturally incomparable.
Of course, these situations only apply to those who are in a hurry, and do not include the princes, princesses and dignitaries who are marching slowly with large troops. What they pursue is not speed, but absolute safety.
Although the hunting ground is some distance from the capital, it is not too far away. When night falls, everyone can basically reach the hunting ground.
Furthermore, they had sent people there to take care of things in advance, so they could lie down and rest directly when they got there. They didn't need to wait any longer like other people, so they didn't really care about speed.
Although Jiusi has never participated in such a hunt, she likes to make plans in advance, and she also has arrangements in advance, so her speed is not too fast.
Even though she was the first one to leave the city, she was not at the front of the team, but in the middle, which was very inconspicuous.
As noon approached, Yiyue took the lead and took the lead to find a place with water and shade. Then, while waiting for Jiusi and the others to arrive, they cleaned up the place in case something unexpected happened.
It's hot today. If you don't clean up in advance and create a safe area, not only will the forest be burned easily, but some venomous insects and snakes will appear unexpectedly.
It doesn't matter that they and the girls are both good at martial arts, but some of the maids and boys accompanying them are not. If they happen to get water for cooking, they might actually get poisoned.
The group of people moved very quickly, and by the time Jiu Si and the others arrived, the place had already been cleaned up, and water was sprinkled on the ground, which not only made it cooler but also prevented dust from flying around.
After everyone dismounted and dismounted one after another, they began to get busy performing their duties. Some went to collect firewood, hunted, some prepared to cook, and some moved things from the carriage...
Their movements were very quick and capable, and within a short time everything was arranged.
After everything was arranged, Jiusi, who was dressed in a green shirt, got off the carriage, walked slowly to the table and sat down. After being served, he washed his hands and face, and then began to rinse his mouth and eat.
Originally, she didn't want to bring these things. In her opinion, all she had to do when going hunting was bring weapons and necessary medicine, and then ride a horse.
But Grandma Lin said that the situation was different this time. She had to come with all these burdens and act like a young lady, which gave her a headache.
But now that she had brought everything, she accepted it, and every move she made was elegant and natural. People who didn't know her temperament would think she was a gentle lady.
It happened that the person who came closely behind was Li Yanqing, a direct daughter of the Zhennan General Mansion. Although she came from a family of military generals, she had a gentle temperament. Her favorite things were poems and books, which was quite similar to her family background.
is not consistent.
Originally, she heard from her good sisters that the eldest girl of the Lin family was not easy to get along with, so she thought she would hide away if she encountered her, but she never thought that she would see a different version of her today.
When she opened the carriage curtain, she saw such an unforgettable and beautiful scene.
Among the lush woods, a beautiful woman in a green shirt sat quietly at the table. Her black and translucent green silk hair was held only by a hosta. There were some fruits, food and drinks on the table in front of her. The woman enjoyed them gracefully.
There was a gentle breeze blowing by, bringing up strands of green silk. She looked like the lady in the painting, which made people forget the vulgarity.
