Chapter 239: Did the Northern Nu people go up the mountain to hunt tigers?
Yi Jingxuan took Tayun without objection and walked towards the cave where Zhuifeng was.
He really wanted to help Xiu Luoran, but he knew that Xiu Luoran would not agree, so he had to just follow her instructions.
Xiu Luoran is a very opinionated person. He will never trouble others for things he can do himself. Yi Jingxuan is very clear about this.
He was attracted by these characteristics of Xiu Luoran and was willing to stay with her, get to know her better, and become more and more tolerant of everything about her, including her shortcomings.
He also got used to following Xiu Luoran's orders, doing whatever he was told to do and enjoying it.
This is the joy of liking someone, right?
Yi Jingxuan entered the cave with two horses.
The cave is very large and dilapidated, with wind blowing in from all directions, and can only block rain and snow.
Tayun came to Zhuifeng and shouted, "Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Zhuifeng roared back at it.
A tiger and a horse were neighing and roaring, and they were chatting very happily.
Yi Jingxuan found it very interesting. He really wanted to know what Tayun said to Zhuifeng, but he couldn't understand.
Yi Jingxuan had no choice but to go to the two tiger cubs and stroke their fur one by one.
Ouch, the two tiger cubs were humming with comfort.
When Xiu Luoran entered the cave, he saw such a beautiful picture.
"Why, didn't you find the horses of the Northern Nu?"
Yi Jingxuan felt like it was only a short time, so how come Xiu Luoran came back?
You know, this mountain is not small, and it takes a long time to go back and forth.
"Found it. There are only five or six horses. How long will it take to kill them?
Tayun, do you know what those Beinu people are going to do in the mountains?"
"Hiss."
Xiu Luoran glanced at Zhuifeng, and Yi Jingxuan asked:
“Are the North Nu people going up the mountain to hunt tigers?”
"Well, they want to kill the tiger and get the tiger skin. Although the northern border is vast, they have bears but no tigers.
Scarcity makes things valuable, so it would be nice to get a tiger skin to bring back as a gift.
Zhuifeng, did you hear me? Next time, try not to go out to hunt during the day, and don't let your baby run around."
Tayun hurriedly translated for Zhuifeng, who nodded his head to indicate that he had remembered it.
Xiu Luoran's hair was loose, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders.
She took out a silk ribbon, gathered her hair together, and tied it into a high ponytail.
She took out the broken jade hairpin from her pocket and said with disdain:
“This thing is so flimsy, it broke when I fell down when I entered the cave just now.
It’s better to tie a headband, it’s strong, neat and won’t fall off.”
Yi Jingxuan thought to himself, you run faster than a rabbit. This is in the mountains, and branches often scratch your hair. If your bun becomes loose, the hairpin will naturally fall off.
Hairpin? Yes, it can be made into a hairpin.
Yi Jingxuan took out a piece of wood about one foot long and as thick as a sausage from his pocket and handed it to Xiu Luoran:
"This was given to me by someone else, and I didn't think of making it into anything at the moment.
Now I have thought it through, I will give it to you as a hairpin."
Xiu Luoran took the piece of wood. As soon as he held the wood, he felt a weight in his hand. The wood was really heavy.
"Yi Jingxuan, what kind of wood is this?"
Yi Jingxuan said: "This is a good thing, don't look at it now because it is black and bald, it is a little dark red.
When you make it into an object and put it on the plate, it will become redder and redder, and finally become pomegranate red. It is red, bright, deep and fragrant, and it is absolutely a good thing. "
If he knew how to carve, he would definitely carve it out himself and give it to Xiu Luoran.
"fragrant?"
Xiu Luoran put the wood under his nose and smelled it:
"Hmm, there is indeed a faint fragrance."
Yi Jingxuan added: "This is called 'Yunbai Wood', which is quite precious.
Don’t be fooled by its thinness, this is a piece of Yunbai wood that has grown forty or fifty years. ”
Xiu Luoran stuffed the wood into Yi Jingxuan's hand:
"Is it so precious? You should keep it."
Yi Jingxuan smiled: "I owe you a favor, so I'll use this to pay it off. I'll pay you back the favor you haven't paid back yet.
Let me tell you, this Yunbai wood is not afraid of water or fire. It won't be burned in a short time if you throw it into a fire.
The fragrance of the white wood is not affected by any factors. It retains its fragrance even when soaked in water or burned with fire."
Yi Jingxuan put the wood back into Xiu Luoran's hands:
"Take it."
Xiu Luoran glanced at Yi Jingxuan, and her eyes fell into Yi Jingxuan's ocean of affection.
Xiu Luoran is not a child, he won’t pretend not to understand.
But she was calm.
She was the person who feared being constrained, and the royal family's rules were the most important. She would not be trapped in a golden cage for the sake of temporary luxury.
Even if she has a crush on this man.
Yi Jingxuan said that this piece of wood was a favor, so Xiu Luoran accepted it without any pressure.
Xiu Luoran weighed it and estimated that it could probably make four hairpins, and the rest could be made into two bracelets.
She and Yi Jingxuan should each take half; good things cannot be kept alone.
Xiu Luoran knew how to carve. That was because in her previous life, she had hired a famous teacher to teach her in order to train her endurance.
She already had the carving tools in her space, which were used by her in her previous life.
"Yi Jingxuan, the people from Beinu have come to our Tianhe. They are so restless even before they arrive in the capital. I'm afraid they will be even more dishonest once they arrive in the capital."
"Don't worry, you will remind the relevant parties to pay attention to it."
"Don't just focus on outsiders. Be careful that someone may collude with them and harm Tianhe."
"I see."
Xiu Luoran and Yi Jingxuan went down the mountain and went home.
The Beinu people were beaten, and in order to avoid suspicion, they did not go through the south gate, but entered the city from the west gate of the capital.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked into the city gate, they saw the Fourth Prince Yi Jingyang staring at them angrily.
