Chapter 535 Girls on Horseback [Thank You! Goodbye! I Owe You 40k for More]
Those two extremely handsome Northern Liao dragon horses,
Since arriving at the Xu family,
Only one offspring was born, and now he is married to Anmei of the Huyan family.
Starting from the pony’s ancestors,
One is the descendant of Xu Zaijing's master Yin Bo, a good horse from the horse market.
One is the Shenjun Liju that Xu Zaijing obtained from the emperor after he performed in the palace.
As for his parents, he is the stallion Xu Zaijing rode the most, Little Liju, and his dam is Beiliao Longju.
The pony that has inherited the advantages of these good horses is not very old, but it has a well-proportioned body and amazing shoulder height, which already shows its handsome figure.
Previously, there was a fate between that pony and my nephew Hu Yanbi because they had similar birthdays.
As an aunt, Pingmei cannot compete with her sister and nephew for this pony.
But now,
Pingmei's son Gu Shixing is almost five years old.
Seeing that his father-in-law, Ning Yuanhou Gu Yankai, already wanted his grandson to learn to ride a horse,
As a mother, Pingmei naturally wanted to find a good horse for her son.
But although the nobles and nobles of Bianjing's high-ranking family are numerous,
The horses and mounts are as good as those of the Yongyi Hou Xu family, only a few families such as the Tuoxi Hou Cao family and the British Duke Zhang family can compare.
The only one who has a pure-blooded Northern Liao Dragon Horse is his own younger brother.
This year, two of his younger brothers' horses happened to be pregnant, so Pingmei naturally made some plans.
You know,
Pingmei was chatting with her mother-in-law Bai Shi at Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
Bai, who had seen the pony that Xu Zaijing gave to Huyan's family, said bluntly: "If this pony is placed in Yangzhou, I'm afraid it will be sold for tens of thousands of dollars." ’
The price was not only due to the colt's handsomeness, but also because of its pedigree from the Northern Liao Dragon Colt.
To receive such a precious pony as a gift,
Madam Pan, the head of the Huyan family, didn't ask for it in vain. During the Xu family's festivals in the past year, the gifts from the Huyan family and the Pan family were quite heavy and scary.
After Pingmei told Bai what she wanted, Bai was very supportive and said that she would take action without Pingmei having to think of a way to thank her.
Because, regardless of whether the Xu family donated a male horse or a female horse, as natural reproduction continued, there would be many more good horses in the Gu family's stables.
and,
In the Feng family two days ago, Xiao Liju's handsomeness, strength, intelligence and intelligence were obvious to all the families in Beijing. If they knew that Xiao Liju's 'brother' was about to be born and wanted to buy him, they would probably trample on the Xu family's threshold.
The ladies sitting next to Pingmei are all smart;
After listening to the words and looking at Pingmei's expression, he vaguely understood what was going on.
He glanced at Xu Zaijing who was riding over.
Gu Tingyi said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, will our family be able to have many horses next year?"
Pingmei shook her head: "We still have to see if that kid will let go."
Thinking about the scene a few years ago when Xu Zaijing and Xu Zaizhang went to the Gu family to cause trouble after their eldest brother got married and his sister-in-law was wronged by one of their father's concubines.
The smile on Gu Tingyi's face became brighter and brighter: Brother Xu Wu loves his sister so much, how could he not give it to her? !
Next to her, the fifth lady of the Zhang family, like Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, looked at Gu Tingyi with envy in her eyes and said, "Sister Tingyi, if the Gu family really has a foal, you have to tell us!"
Now that Anmei is married, it is really difficult for unmarried ladies to come directly to the Xu family.
As for the unmarried Gu Tingyi, it was more legitimate for them to go to the Gu family.
Gu Tingyi smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Deng Deng"
The little Liju's strong four hooves stepped on the ground and stopped not far away.
Xu Zaijing dismounted his horse skillfully and gracefully, held his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Sister."
Then he turned slightly and said, "Four sisters, Zhuang'an."
Then he smiled and nodded at the Gu family's grandma Chang, Zhang Jiafan's mother and others.
The four ladies quickly stood up from their seats and returned the salute with the maid behind them.
"Sister, you still like the north wall facing the sun and sheltered from the wind."
Pingmei smiled: "It's so comfortable to bask in the sun here."
When the two siblings were talking,
The four ladies did not sit down, but looked at the two handsome horses behind Xu Zaijing who were walking towards the green grass on automatic navigation.
Subsequently,
The little Liju and Longju lowered their heads, trying to put their mouths into the baskets filled with carrots and fruits in front of the grass.
"Go away! I don't have anything to eat like you!"
Sisters Qingcao and Yunxiang protected the basket and spoke out "reprimands".
"What are you doing?"
Xu Zaijing's soft voice came as he was pushing his horse's head against the grass. The two horses who wanted to 'play rogue' raised their heads and snorted.
Seeing this scene,
"Wow! Are they so smart?"
The fifth lady of the Zhang family on the side exclaimed in surprise.
The eyes of the maids and envoys standing near the four noble ladies were also full of surprise.
Xu Zaijing smiled and waved his hands towards Qingcao and the others.
Understandably, Qingcao and the other three female envoys, with the help of others, moved the basket towards the racecourse.
"Brother Jing, let's go over and feed the horses."
Gu Tingyi said with a smile.
Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded.
Whether it is Chai Zhengzheng, Rong Feiyan, Gu Tingyi and Zhang Jiawu Niang, they all know how to ride horses. They also have honest and honest mounts at home, and they will not do anything to scare the horses.
"Mother Fan, you don't need to follow me."
The fifth lady of the Zhang family handed the hand warmer in her hand to her close mother and said with a smile.
Subsequently,
The four noble ladies walked to Qing Cao and the other three female envoys.
Put the carrots and fruits from the basket close to the mouths of the two horses.
"Crack"
"Crack"
The sound of the horses eating carrots and fruits began to sound.
In the racecourse,
Alan also moved the wooden fence separating the two pregnant horses.
Seeing Xu Zaijing's Liju and Longju, both of them entered the northernmost fence with big bellies.
"Zhengzheng, you and Feiyan feed them first, and Sister Tingyi and I will feed the other two!"
Zhang Jia Wu Niang said while holding Gu Tingyi's hand.
Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan smiled and nodded.
Looking at the tall horses in front of her, Rong Feiyan held a carrot in her hand, put it close to the mouth of the little Liju, and whispered: "Thank you for that day at the Feng family, you are so smart!"
"Crack, crack"
The little Liju's ears twitched a few times and ate comfortably.
When the horse ate the carrot, it rubbed Rong Feiyan's palm, causing Rong Feiyan to smile and retract her hand, then happily touched the horse's head.
Chai Zhengzheng on the side did not speak, but just smiled at the beautiful dragon colt in front of him.
The dragon colt's fur was shiny and glossy under the care of Alan and others, and it was faintly shiny in the sun.
The first time Chai Zhengzheng saw this dragon colt was not in the Xu family, but in the Jinyang Mountain Stronghold in the vassal of King Yan.
That incident was related to his reputation, so Chai Zhengzheng naturally couldn't say much, just smiled at the horse in front of him with lively eyes.
After feeding the dragon colt another carrot,
Chai Zhengzheng turned around in the sun,
looked at Xu Zaijing who was talking to Pingmei behind him, and said: "Brother Xu Wu, can I ride it?"
Hearing the voice beside him,
Rong Feiyan also looked back.
Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Okay."
As he said that,
under the gaze of Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan,
Xu Zaijing smiled and walked over.
On the north side of the Xu family's wide racecourse,
Xu Zaijing was the host, and the two girls were guests.
There were maids and nannies from five families standing around. It was not a private meeting alone, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
Watching Xu Zaijing getting closer and closer,
Chai Zhengzheng tried not to get nervous, squatted down and picked up another carrot, and handed it to Longju's mouth.
In the time Chai Zhengzheng took to do this, Xu Zaijing had already stood beside Longju and reached out to adjust the length of the stirrup.
He then moved from behind the horse's butt to the other side and adjusted it in the same way.
Looking at Xu Zaijing who was standing beside Longju not far in front of him, Chai Zhengzheng looked at him openly. When Xu Zaijing looked over, Chai Zhengzheng smiled and said crisply, "Thank you, Brother Xu Wu."
Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, "Come here."
Chai Zhengzheng was stunned, then smiled and walked towards Xu Zaijing from Rong Feiyan.
Xu Zaijing returned from behind the horse's buttocks, circled around the little Liju for most of the way, walked to the position where Chai Zhengzheng had just stood, and touched Longju's head.
Chai Zhengzheng stepped on the stirrups skillfully, and sat on the saddle with her beautiful skirt fluttering.
"Can you use your strength?"
Xu Zaijing asked in front of the horse.
A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!
After trying his feet on the stirrups, Chai Zhengzheng looked down at Xu Zaijing, and nodded with a smile on his face, "Just right."
Moving the bridle of Longju, Xu Zaijing said, "Good! When driving a horse, don't use the reins too hard, it's very smart."
"Yeah!"
Chai Zhengzheng nodded heavily, then tapped the horse's belly, and Longju stepped out steadily.
After waving to Pingmei, Chai's nanny and his personal maid, Chai Zhengzheng patted Longju's neck and shouted, "Go!"
The saddle on Longju's back was from Beiliao, which was very comfortable and close to the body.
The experience of riding Longju was completely different from other mounts.
While riding, looking around the scenery around the racecourse, Chai Zhengzheng felt that today was really happy and refreshing.
Looking sideways at Gu Tingyi and Zhang Jiawu Niang who were looking at her with envy not far behind her, Chai Zhengzheng smiled and waved her hand.
Nearby,
"Puff~"
The little black colt lowered its head and snorted, nudged Rong Feiyan's arms with its big horse head, raised its horse hoof slightly, and took another step forward.
This made Rong Feiyan, who was in front of the little black colt, take two steps back.
The female servants of the Rong family, Xibu and Ningxiang, were about to walk forward when they saw this scene.
Looking at the little black colt in front of her, which kept moving its ears, Rong Feiyan, who was holding the little black colt's bridle, looked at Xu Zaijing beside her somewhat helplessly,
and then looked at Pingmei not far behind her, and whispered: "Sister Xu Pingmei, Brother Xu Wu. What's wrong with it?"
Pingmei smiled at the little black colt and said: "Look, it likes you very much and wants to play with you."
"Ah?" Rong Feiyan was surprised.
The maid Xibu, who had already taken two steps forward, said, "Miss, this. You have to be careful!"
Rong Feiyan nodded to Xibu, then turned to look at Xu Zaijing and said, "I, can I do it. Brother Xu Wu?"
Xu Zaijing smiled, "What's wrong with that?"
After that,
Xu Zaijing walked to the side of the little horse and also adjusted the stirrups.
Rong Feiyan got on the horse sideways and rode on the back of the little horse, sighing with some emotion on her face, "Brother Xu Wu, this, is so high!"
Xu Zaijing smiled, "Ride slower."
Looking at Xu Zaijing's smiling face, Rong Feiyan nodded and said, "Yeah."
Then, Rong Feiyan followed the pace of the little Liju and slowly rode out.
After Gu Tingyi and Zhang Jiawu Niang watched Rong Feiyan on horseback go far away, they held hands and ran quickly to Xu Zaijing, looking at Xu Zaijing.
Gu Tingyi said: "Brother Jing, Wuniang and I can do it."
Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Wait until the two sisters come back."
"Brother Jing, you're so kind!" The fifth lady of the Zhang family couldn't help but smile and tiptoe in praise.
Xu Zaijing smiled.
After a while,
Chai Zhengzheng rode a dragon horse and turned around in front of the wooden house. The road behind it went straight to the north.
Although Longju's pace was steady, there were no bumps.
But on the last straight road, Longju's speed was not slow. The wind during the run made Chai Zhengzheng's hair a little scattered after riding for most of the circle.
Not just hair,
The winter wind also made Chai Zhengzheng's cheeks turn red.
"Xu~"
Chai Zhengzheng gently tightened the reins with a smile on his face, and the dragon horse slowly stopped in front of Xu Zaijing.
"Brother Xu Wu, this horse is really good!" Chai Zhengzheng said with a smile, "It's a pity that it's a bit too high for me to ride on when playing polo."
When Chai Zhengzheng spoke,
Qingcao had already walked to Longju's side, ready to help Chai Zhengzheng get off the horse.
The fifth lady of the Zhang family next to Xu Zaijing asked in confusion: "Is it Zhengzheng? Then I'll try it!"
With that said, the fifth lady of the Zhang family was about to step forward.
The green grass on the side of the dragon colt said: "Fifth girl, you'd better feed it again and get close to it."
Chai Zhengzheng on the horse looked at the green grass with a smile, and nodded with Wuniang.
"Oh! Too!"
When Rong Feiyan, who was riding a little Liju in the distance, was halfway gone,
The fifth lady of the Zhang family had already stepped on the stirrups and climbed onto the horse. She first exclaimed, then shook the reins and shouted: "Let's go!"
With that said, he trotted out on his horse.
Wuniang was as good at riding a horse as she was drinking water in the British Duke's mansion, and her skill in handling horses was not comparable to that of Chai Zhengzheng, who had less riding skills.
After jogging a few steps,
The speed of Longju was increased,
During the run, the fifth mother of the Zhang family also made a few polo-playing moves on horseback, which made Mother Fan who was watching on the side anxious.
The result is,
When Rong Feiyan was about to arrive in front of everyone,
Wu Niang was already riding on the joyful dragon horse and caught up from behind.
"Sister Feiyan, you have to hurry up!"
The fifth lady of the Zhang family in the rear shouted to Rong Feiyan.
"oh!"
Rong Feiyan quickly acted as she was told.
Sure enough, when Longju passed by, Xiaoliju also accelerated suddenly, causing Rong Feiyan on the horse to fall backward slightly.
"Deng Deng~"
Longju and Xiaoliju stopped in front of Xu Zaijing one after another.
The fifth lady of the Zhang family looked at Chai Zhengzheng, who had sat back next to Pingmei, and said, "Zhengzheng, you are right, Brother Jing's dragon colt is a bit too tall."
With Qingcao's help, Rong Feiyan also dismounted. After taking a look at the little Liju beside her, Rong Feiyan smiled: "It's so naughty!"
Xu Zaijing nodded with a smile and said: "When I was riding it, if there were other horses passing by, it would want to chase it."
Subsequently,
The fifth lady of the Zhang family changed into the little Li colt and rode for a lap.
Ting Yi also tried two horses,
When everyone returned to the Xu family's backyard, the sun was already somewhat westward.
It didn’t take long after I returned,
The guests who came to Xu's house today said their goodbyes and left.
evening,
Ningyuan Hou Mansion,
Gu Tingye, who looked tired, took the female servant to Bai's courtyard to have dinner.
Entered the house,
Looking at his sister who was talking to his sister-in-law Ping Mei with a smile on his face in the hall, Gu Tingye saluted Bai and asked, "Ting Yi, why are you so happy?"
After a while,
After Gu Tingyi finished speaking,
Gu Tingye looked at Pingmei with some disbelief on his face,
After Pingmei nodded with a smile, Gu Tingye walked a few steps quickly with surprise on his face, took his nephew Gu Shixing from Bai's arms, and said in a tone full of doting and consultation: "My good nephew, uncle has something to do. Son."
