Chapter 460 Avenging My Father and Third Uncle
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Sixth Princess had lunch at the Wen residence with the Yao family. Apart from the Wen family members present and a few people in the palace, no one else knew about it.
After everyone had a meal at the Wen family's house, Shen Shizhong finally headed home.
Before leaving, the children were reluctant to part ways and said with a smile, "Yao Xiaomi, if we stay any longer, it will be time for dinner. Your grandmother is about to ask us to cook dinner. Why don't you stay and help your grandmother?"
Yao Xiaomi believed it and said, "Okay, okay, that's not impossible!"
"Good for you! We have to go to Grandpa Ren's house early tomorrow to pay our respects for the New Year. You can still play together then."
Yao Maimai secretly gave her younger brother a wink, reminding him not to forget that there was still the Sixth Princess in their team!
Yao Xiaomi instantly understood; the brat was incredibly sweet-talking. "Grandpa and Grandma, we'll meet at Grandpa Ren's house tomorrow. Don't miss me too much tonight!"
The child turned and waved to his friends, "Let's go back, let's go back. Let's rest up tonight and settle things tomorrow. I don't believe we can't win, humph!"
After saying that, he turned his head, looked up at the sky, laughed loudly, and leaped onto the carriage.
Unexpectedly, he jumped too high and almost flew over the top of the carriage.
"Oh my god, I used too much force."
"Hahaha."
"Hey, this kid's got real strength..."
A group of laughing people agreed on what time to leave the next day, and then boarded their respective carriages.
The Wen family watched their relatives' carriages turn the corner at the gate of the mansion, and only returned home when they disappeared into the crowd and could no longer be seen.
Just as Yao Changhao had said, not long after, Grandmother Wen instructed that dinner be prepared.
In the following days, just as agreed, we went to the Ren family on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Yao family on the fourth day, and the Zhou family on the fifth day.
On this day, the fifth day of the first lunar month, just past noon, the Zhou family received news that a small to medium-sized royal hunting ground would open the next day, located at Tamu Mountain, dozens of miles outside Beijing.
Master Zhou announced the news during the banquet.
"Ah, the Tamu Hunting Ground is open this year?" Wen Qikang exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, that hunting ground, we used to go there all the time..."
Before Yao Changhao could finish speaking, a group of kids launched into a barrage of "100,000 Whys" about the hunting ground.
Several little mouths started asking questions.
Wen Chengmo: "Uncle, is the hunting ground big?"
Ren Jinning: "Uncle Yao, are there many wild animals there?"
Wen Chengjing: "Third Uncle, are there tigers in the hunting grounds?"
Wen Chengyu: "Third Uncle, are the wild animals in the hunting grounds fierce?"
Yao Xiaomi: "Dad, did you hunt any wild game?"
Yao Changhao: "Good question. Take out the 'ma' part. Back in the day, your third uncle and I were frequent visitors to the Tamu hunting grounds. Speaking of which..."
Before he could even boast about his and Wen Qikang's glorious past achievements, someone unexpectedly exposed their past misdeeds.
"Xiaomi, don't listen to your dad's bragging."
Wen Lanmin laughed and said, "Every time your father and your third uncle went hunting, they would make a promise and solemnly assure the kitchen staff to wait for them to bring back the game. Then your maternal grandparents would wait with the family, and they would wait and wait until it was completely dark, but the game still hadn't returned."
“On one occasion, they set off again with full confidence, using the same old rhetoric, saying things like, ‘Just wait at home, we’re sure to get some game.’ Sure enough, when it got dark, instead of game, two big black balls returned.”
"Your dad and your third uncle fell into a stinky ditch and rolled around like black balls. They made their way home like that, and when they got to the gate, everything was black except for their teeth. The gatekeeper almost kicked them out, hahaha."
"Hey hey hey."
"Hahaha."
Yao Changhao and Wen Qikang, whose secrets had been exposed, also burst into laughter.
Wen Qikang retorted, "Hey, Xiaomi, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. Sometimes your dad and I can bring back wild game too."
“Yes, sometimes.” Wen Lanmin continued to reveal the truth, “All year round, I bring back a pheasant, and it’s a lame pheasant, a little pheasant whose leg was broken when they pounced on it.”
"Pfft, hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Yao Xiaomi laughed non-stop, "Hehehe, I didn't expect my dad and third uncle to be so bad at this. Well then, this time, let our little team redeem my dad and third uncle and take over all the wild game in this hunting ground!"
"Alright, let's avenge this defeat and buy it all!" a group of children shouted in unison.
Then, the children picked up their rice bowls and used them as wine glasses, clinked them together to indicate they had finished, and then lowered their heads to eat heartily, muttering as they ate: "Eat more rice, have more strength, and then we can hunt more game."
All adults...
These children's behavior is truly unheard of and unseen. Their outrageous antics are endless, leaving adults both amused and exasperated.
"Well, buddy, you've got some big talk!"
Yao Changhao laughed and said with a big smile, "Okay, then we'll be waiting for your team's triumphant return. We'll make sure to boil water at home and wait for you to bring back some wild game to cook."
"Okay, we promise to complete the mission!" the group of children shouted in unison.
Wenwen and her group of sisters looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The meal at Master Zhou's house lasted until late afternoon.
......
The following day, the sixth day of the first lunar month, was at the Tamu Hunting Ground on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Fifth Brother, over there, there are three fat rabbits," Wen Chengyu reminded him.
"The one on the right is the biggest, I'll take it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Ruirui flicked a stone, and with a whoosh, the rabbit fell to the ground.
"Sigh! Another rabbit." Wenqing said dejectedly.
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy about getting the rabbit?" Wenwen asked Wenqing.
"I'm happy, but..." Wenqing wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister, we've been in here for so long, and all the wild game we've seen is either pheasant or rabbit."
"Even a field mouse would be nice, but I haven't seen any. Catching only the little ones isn't satisfying; I feel like I have no use for my strength!"
Wenwen laughed at her, "Having seen great mountains, you look down on this little hill?"
"Hehe, that's not how it is." Wen Qing laughed shyly.
Just then, Yao Xiaomi exclaimed, "Wow, a silly roe deer!"
The next second, Wen Qing immediately shouted, "Where? I'm going!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl ran off quite a distance, and the other children, except for him, chased after her.
It's no exaggeration to say that a silly roe deer could outrun several children who used their skills to chase after it.
It can be said that the roe deer was acquired effortlessly.
Next, they encountered several wild deer, and again only shot the fattest one.
Seeing that it was almost time, Wenwen led her younger siblings out of the hunting grounds and headed home.
The group, carrying their day's wild game, entered the city gates, paraded through the streets, and finally arrived home at the end of the Shenshi (3-5 PM).
