Chapter 103: Horseshoe

On the second day, when Gu Juan woke up, it was already noon, and she simply cooked a meal by herself. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After eating, I looked up when I left the house, and I realized that there was goose feather snow in the sky at this time.

Gu Juan suddenly said that Hu Tian is snowing in August, this place is not Hu Tian, but it is snowing in September, even if it is a Jingshi, there is no such big snow, and after a while, Gu Juan's small courtyard is covered with small white blankets.

Gu Juan stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

But I don't know what happened to Wang Kai at this time, whether he will feel cold, whether he has eaten well and slept well.

In the horse farm thirty miles away from Taiyuan City, Wang Kai wore a hat in the heavy snow, and reorganized the scattered forage.

He has never done such a thing since he was a child, so he was still very rusty at the beginning, and he was often scolded by Shangguan. This Shangguan seems to have a prejudice against Wang Kai, and always arranges some very heavy work for Wang Kai.

Fortunately, this person did not treat Wang Kai harshly in terms of diet, and over time, Wang Kai's body has strengthened a lot, but Wang Kai doesn't know whether to thank this Shangguan or not.

It's just that the snow on this day was unusually heavy.

The cold wind was biting, and Wang Kai's jade-like skin became a lot rougher.

After tidying up the forage, the apologetic-looking Shangguan asked Wang Kai to help nail the horseshoe, when did Wang Kai do such a thing, before a laborer went to assist the strange-tempered master, and was directly scolded away, isn't Wang Kai just looking for scolding?

But since it was Shangguan's order, Wang Kai couldn't disobey it, and at this time he was no longer the Son of Heaven's close minister.

He's just an ordinary guy now.

The master who is good at nailing horseshoe has a different face from ordinary people, and seems to have a deeper outline, and I have heard others say that he seems to be a mixed-race child, with a withdrawn personality, and does not like to communicate with others, but he does have a very powerful skill in nailing horseshoe, so he was recruited into the horse farm to nail horseshoes for war horses.

The war horses of the Ming Dynasty are scarce, and the people who nail the horseshoe are naturally even more scarce, so the status of this person is different from the labor on the side in this horse farm, so it is inevitable that he will have a strange temper.

After eating, Wang Kai came to the small room where the old master was.

After entering, I saw a thin old man lying on the bed, smoking a cigarette very leisurely.

Wang Kai walked forward and said, "Master, I'm here." ”

"What's your name?"

"Wang Kai. ”

"I heard you're the top student in the current department?"

"Not anymore. ”

The old man turned around and saw Wang Kai's face, he couldn't help but be amazed, and said: "People say that this champion of this department is the appearance of a person from the Ming Dynasty, and it really lives up to its reputation. ”

Wang Kai did not speak, but the old man stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

In the field where the horseshoe is nailed, a wooden frame stands, which is in the shape of a door, slightly higher and wider than the horse, and different iron frames are nailed on both sides of the pillar to fix the front and rear horses' legs.

The old man took an old horse and tied it to the middle of the wooden rack, fastened it with a rope, and then fastened the hoof of the horse's shoe and tightened it vigorously. Then use a shovel blade to repair the horse's hooves first.

The old man put the blade of the shovel on the hoof, pressed the other end down with the wooden handle with his shoulder, and cut off the horse's hoof very hard, and then used a special nail to nail the iron horse's shoe to the hoof.

It's fast, but it's only a moment.

Wang Kai couldn't help but admire in his heart, but at this time, the old man handed Wang Kai a horseshoe nail and tools, and said to Wang Kai: "You come." ”

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, and said, "I, I don't know anything yet." ”

The old man sneered and said, "Aren't you the champion, Wenqu Xing is down to earth, and you can't even learn such a small thing?"

Wang Kai was a little helpless for a moment, he said: "Any skill needs to be practiced, master, your amazing technique of nailing horseshoe, but it will not be practiced overnight, and my champion is not due to luck, this point, the master should understand." ”

The old man stiffened his face and said, "Anyway, I have already taught you, whether you will have nothing to do with me." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he left, leaving Wang Kai alone in this place.

At this time, there was only an old horse and a snowstorm, and the old horse snorted at Wang Kai, and seemed to like Wang Kai very much.

Wang Kai suddenly smiled bitterly.

Gu Juan studied the men's ready-to-wear method at home, but found that he didn't have that talent, a piece of clothing was dismantled to the end, and he didn't understand how the clothes were made, which embarrassed Gu Juan.

After staying up all afternoon, Gu Juan couldn't stay at home anymore, so he put on a jacket and went out with an umbrella.

As for where to go, naturally I went to find Chen Siniang.

Chen Siniang's noodle restaurant's business is still not salty, Chen Siniang sat bored on the counter and ate melon seeds, after seeing Gu Juan coming, she was naturally overjoyed, hurriedly pulled Gu Juan in, and said, "This is to eat." ”

"Yes, I was really bored at home, so I came to find my sister. ”

At this time, the snow was falling outside the window, and the people who watched it felt cold.

"It's been so cold this winter, but it's never been this cold in previous years. Chen Siniang opened her mouth to speak, and a diner sitting in the corner at this time said: "It's good to be cold, there will be no locusts next year." ”

"What a fart, as soon as it's cold, it's time for me to grab things again. ”

"Forget about this, those things are more terrifying than locusts, locusts only eat food, and I promise to eat people. ”

"I can't help but answer this to eat people, the one who is a soldier doesn't eat people, a relative of mine is in Qi County, and the daughter of the family let a few soldiers spoil it, what kind of world do you say. ”

Perhaps because the topic was too heavy, the two stopped talking and just concentrated on eating noodles.

Gu Juan asked for some food, and it happened that Chen Siniang also wanted to eat, so the two sat at a table.

Chen Siniang looked at Gu Juan and asked with a smile, "Did my sister have a nightmare last night?"

"Nightmares don't count, but I did dream about the child. ”

"I also dreamed that the child's life is really miserable, and I hope to have a good birth in the next life. ”

When the noodles came, Gu Juan liked spicy food very much, so she put a lot of spicy food, Chen Siniang said with a smile: "I didn't want you to be a southern woman, you like spicy food so much." ”

Gu Juan was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice outside.

I saw a few dusty soldiers coming in from outside the door, with a cold air, and the person at the head was five big and three thick.

After the man saw Chen Siniang, he said with some excitement: "Sister-in-law!"
