Cheng Xuan and Wang Yishan each rode a tall horse, Cheng Wan and the others got into the carriage, Biyu and the others got into the other car, and they set off towards the outside of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although some time ago they experienced the changes brought by Lingnan, but the capital is still lively, Shen Jinyu and Cheng Wan watched the scenery outside the street of the capital in the gap by the bamboo curtain of the carriage, only Gu Mingzhu was still sitting on the carriage seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, like an old monk in a steady, completely unmoved by the scenery of the outside world.

After a stick of incense, the carriage left the city, and after a while, it arrived at the manor.

The bluestone road is very wide, enough to make two carriages run in parallel, the two sides are tall buildings, it looks magnificent, many noble families in the capital will build another village here, take advantage of the cool in summer, the hot springs here are very nourishing in winter, the capital is bitter cold in winter, and the family has a hot spring to have the opportunity to eat seasonal fresh vegetables.

Immediately a servant ran to open the door, and the carriage entered the manor.

Cheng Wan was patient and waited for someone to move the dismounted little horse, and the first to rush out, Shen Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu got out of the car one after another.

At this time, Cheng Xuan and Wang Yishan had already dismounted and were waiting for them.

Cheng Xuan held a short black horse in his hand and handed it to Cheng Wan, Cheng Wan took the black horse, patted its head gently, and after getting closer, he stepped on the horse's pedal and turned over on the horse's back.

Wang Yishan saw her actions in one go, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, the children of the Cheng family are all masters, and they are really handsome as daughters." ”

Cheng Wan listened to the appreciation, blushed a little shyly, and then raised her head, her eyes were full of light, and she slowly rode the horse. Different from other ladies, the ladies in the general's family are still more generous, although they are a little embarrassed, but they are more proud.

Only then did Cheng Xuan completely let go of the reins of the black horse, turned around and asked, "Arnold can ride a horse?" ”

Shen Jinyu heard Cheng Xuan call her like this for the first time, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "My father taught me before, but I haven't ridden it for a long time, and I have forgotten it." ”

Gu Mingzhu came over and gave Cheng Xuanfu a salute and said, "Cousin is good." He hesitated and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Wang Yishan was already watching Cheng Wan riding a horse at this time, and he didn't hear anyone saying hello, Cheng Xuan helped them introduce each other, and everyone walked to the flower hall.

Cheng Wan rode directly to the horse farm, and Shen Jinyu said to Cheng Xuan: "Isn't it okay if you don't go?" ”

Before Cheng Xuan could answer, Gu Mingzhu covered her mouth and laughed and said, "Miss Shen, you don't know, Fluttershy has been riding a horse since she was a child, and such a smooth road will not be difficult for her." ”

Cheng Xuan nodded and said: "The Cheng family is established by martial arts, and horseback riding is indispensable. The women of my grandmother's generation practiced martial arts in addition to riding horses. ”

Shen Jinyu thought of what Cheng Xuan said before, his grandmother had a good relationship with Mrs. Li, I don't know if people who practice martial arts can be more broad-minded, she was thinking about the next opportunity to ask him, Cheng Xuan, who listened, continued: "Our Cheng family is a martial family, it is inevitably rougher, Miss Gu is from a scholarly family, don't look down on it." ”

Gu Mingzhu chuckled, "Where, cousin, you have a good reputation, you don't know how much I envy Fluttershy, but she doesn't let her eyebrows go." ”

Gu Mingzhu couldn't hide the peach blossoms on her face, she had always been generous and polite, but she also had a slightly shy demeanor today.

Shen Jinyu thought of the way Gu Mingzhu and Cheng Wan usually got along and finally knew why Cheng Wan had that attitude, and she slowly moved away from that place by looking at the surrounding environment.

It's a little more spacious and cooler in the suburbs. There was only one person around with a thick ancient tree, and there were not many flowers and plants, Shen Jinyu thought to herself, it was really very Cheng family style, there was nothing superfluous, and it was always so clean and neat.

When she first went to Cheng's Mansion, wasn't the courtyard where she lived like that? A year has passed, and now the garden is full of flowers, she thought proudly.

"Are you going horseback riding?" Cheng Xuan came over and asked.

Only then did Shen Jinyu notice that Wang Yishan had left, and there were only two of them in the flower hall, "Miss Gu." ”

"She doesn't like horseback riding, and she has to take care of the big guy's living and eating, so now she goes to prepare."

A servant brought a maroon pony, Cheng Xuan took it and said to Shen Jinyu: "You have ridden a horse before, I don't have to teach you anymore, this horse was prepared for Fluttershy back then, and she later chose Xiao Hei, Chiji has a docile temperament, and it is the most suitable for you." ”

"Chiji."

Shen Jinyu repeated the name, reached out and touched the side of the horse's neck, seeing that she was timid, Cheng Xuan held her wrist, patted the side of the neck with her palm and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

Shen Jinyu had the courage to pat the horse's neck to the shoulder, and then to the forelimbs, Cheng Xuan saw that she was not afraid, and handed the reins to Shen Jinyu's hand.

They led the horses and walked slowly side by side, Shen Jinyu's courage gradually grew, and Cheng Xuan began to chat with her, asking her not to be so nervous anymore.

Shen Jinyu suddenly asked, "Do the Cheng family's grandmothers really know how to practice martial arts?" Is it because of martial arts training that he is more broad-minded? ”

After saying that, he immediately found out that he was wrong, and when he said this, it seemed that Mrs. Li was difficult to entangle, so he immediately remedied: "I mean, the heart is broad-minded. ”

She stopped halfway through speaking, as if she couldn't say it right, she turned her head slightly, and glanced at Cheng Xuan quickly, sure enough, he was already laughing happily, and finally laughed out loud when she saw Shen Jinyu's peeping expression.

Shen Jinyu frowned in annoyance and bit her lower lip with her shell-like upper teeth.

Cheng Xuan finally stopped laughing and comforted: "Grandmother has indeed practiced martial arts, and when she was young, she once changed into men's clothes and went to the battlefield, her mind is indeed not comparable to ordinary women, so she doesn't account for more meaningless gains and losses, and Mrs. Li is also very lenient, just because she saw the Cheng family army built by her ancestors with flesh and blood when she was young, so she doesn't care about anything else, the only thing she cares about is the Cheng family army, when the Cheng family lost military power, she felt sorry for the children and soldiers in the army who had followed the Cheng family for many years, as if they had suddenly lost their parents. ”

Cheng Xuan, who originally explained, became sad as he spoke. Shen Jinyu watched his face turn from bright to dark, and finally had a trace of sadness that could not be concealed, and sighed secretly in his heart, no matter who has a wound in his heart that cannot be touched.

Cheng Xuan also wondered in his heart, as if with Shen Jinyu, he was always more fragile than usual, no matter what, he became sad when he said it, like a child, always showing those old injuries to others, wanting to gain comfort from others.

In other words, this sadness, inadvertently, poured down, because he didn't want to hide it in front of her.
