Chapter 31 Apprenticeship Jiuniang Riding a Horse
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, He Erniang and Aru found that Asu's mood seemed to be a little low, only when she was in the begging competition, she was hit by the ingenuity of her sisters, and then she was disheartened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So intentionally or unintentionally, I comforted her with two words, you are young, take your time, and you can't be in a hurry to learn things. Aso responded to their words, and with this explanation, there is no need to deliberately hide his low mood.
In fact, since returning from the last polo game, Asu has been thinking about learning to ride a horse, originally wanted to find the third brother Li Hui, but now that Brother Hui has injured his hand, and secondly, he knows that Coral is interested in him, so he doesn't dare to contact him too much, the more contact he has, the more he is tempted, and the more sad he will be in the future. The coral, which is higher than her in all aspects, has seriously frustrated Aso's crush on Careful Thoughts.
But now that the days are passing day by day, Aso thinks that he is getting closer and closer to the Anshi Rebellion, in case of war and chaos, he can't ride a horse, and his life will not be guaranteed. As soon as his mind turned, a sassy and heroic posture appeared in his mind, right! Why didn't you think of her earlier, there really is no more suitable teacher than her.
That she is An Jiuniang, the daughter of An Sishun, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu. An Sishun is a descendant of the Turkic tribe and the brother of An Lushan, who has served in the army of Longyoubian Pass for decades, and was only transferred to Shuofang Jie Du two years ago.
It is reported that An Sishun has nine children, eight of whom have children in Longyou, only the youngest Jiuniang has not yet married, so this year An Jiuniang was picked up from Longyou's hometown, and everyone said that he was ready to choose a husband for his daughter, and An Jiuniang did not shy away from this, so the Qixi Festival also dared to say that he wanted to find a wishful Langjun.
The polo field, the Qixi Festival, Asu and An Jiuniang have had two contacts, and they are familiar, so it shouldn't be abrupt to ask her to teach her how to ride a horse. However, how to inform her, go directly to the door to the Jiedu Embassy, and the girl's family seems to be inappropriate. On second thought, didn't the ancients all write books to deliver messages. I'll write her a letter myself. After coming to the Tang Dynasty for a few months, Asu has been exposed to it for so long, and his ability to write basic simple characters is still no problem, and now it comes in handy.
After Asu racked his brains to write a letter with sincere words, he asked Xiaoju to send it to the Jiedu Embassy. Then he waited for news at home with anxiety, what if An Jiuniang didn't agree, the worst plan was to be cheeky and go to the second cousin Li Xiang.
After an hour, someone came to the palace to send a letter back, Asu got the letter and couldn't wait to go back to the house, and couldn't wait to open it while walking.
Asu's heart sank, and then the letter said that it was of course okay to teach horseback riding like a friend, and agreed on the time and place, An Jiuniang proposed that if Asu had time, he could go to the horse track near the polo field tomorrow morning to practice, considering that Asu could not ride a horse, An Jiuniang was quite thoughtful and said that he could pick her up.
Asu was overjoyed after reading it, and hurriedly told Aru and He Erniang the good news. And said to Aru in a good tone for you, "Sister, I will go to learn to ride a horse with Sister An tomorrow, and you also have to call your brother Yang to teach you, it is really important to learn to ride a horse." ”
Hearing this, Aru was stunned, thinking about this Asu, before the relationship, she persuaded her not to be in a hurry to learn slowly, but the thought of learning was to ride a horse. However, Aso is also right, it is a good idea to let Brother Yang call himself to ride a horse, thinking about it in his heart, the corners of his mouth can't help but smile sweetly.
Early in the morning of the second day, Asu carried a food box and waited at the door of Li's mansion, which contained the pastries he made for An Jiuniang overnight.
"Asu, why is it so early, still with things, who are you waiting for here?" A young man's voice came from behind, and when he turned around, it turned out to be his eldest cousin Li Yizhong, whom he rarely met.
Li Yizhong enshadowed the military attache of Bapin, followed his father to work in the Shuofang army, and went out early and returned late on weekdays, so he rarely met Asu. Now there are two in their twenties, and they should have married and had children, but unfortunately the year of the weak crown coincided with the death of his mother, and he had to mourn for three years according to the ceremony, during which he was not allowed to get married, so it was delayed, and it is estimated that the Li Mansion should marry him next year.
"Big cousin, I'm waiting for Sister An here, and she promised to teach me how to ride a horse." Aso replied truthfully. He looked at what he was carrying and explained, "It's tiring to teach me how to ride a horse, so I'll bring something for my sister to eat."
Li Yizhong smiled, "An Jiuniang, yes, she is really a heroine among women, and she will be a good teacher." Asu's heart is also very fine, and he knows how to make food, so he thinks about it very thoughtfully. ”
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and An Jiuniang, who was dressed in a beard, arrived as promised. In the Tang Dynasty, Hu clothes were prevalent, Shuofang was located in the north, and it was more common for women to wear Hu clothes, but Asu had never seen other women wearing Hu clothes to have An Jiuniang's heroic posture.
"An Jiuniang, I heard Asu say that you are willing to teach her to ride a horse, it really annoys you." Li Yizhong clasped his fists and saluted An Jiuniang and said.
Seeing that he was so polite, An Jiuniang hurriedly waved her hand, "I just took Sister Asu to play, but I don't dare to say that the teacher taught her." Li Dalang was polite. ”
Seeing that the two of them were so polite, Asu couldn't help but chuckle, "You are both polite, eldest cousin, do you want to go with us?" ”
"Oh, I still have tolerance here, don't say much, I'm going to the army, don't leave it at that, I have time another day, and I will accompany you." Then quickly turn around and get on the horse.
Looking at the back of Li Yizhong turning to leave, Asu faintly felt that something was wrong, where? Oh, the eldest cousin talks too much today, and after coming to the Li Mansion for so long, it seems that I have never heard the eldest cousin talk so much today.
It's morning, and the horse track of the polo field is rarely bustled, but it's a great place to learn how to ride a horse. "Asu, I'll go down first, you sit on the back of the horse, I will lead the horse and walk slowly, you can feel it yourself on the horseback, don't be afraid." After speaking, An Jiuniang lightly dismounted, and at this time, when the horse saw that the master had come down, he swung his body a few times, and was so frightened that Asu screamed again and again, "Sister An, it's going to throw me off, no, no." ”
An Jiuniang touched the horse's head to calm the horse down, and couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Asu's panicked appearance, but she still held back her laughter and continued to say to Asu, "Asu, the first point of horseback riding, you can't be afraid of it, you have to be his master, how to do it from the beginning." Don't be afraid, I'll take it, you can sit on it. ”
Asu stopped making a sound, nodded seriously, and An Jiuniang led the horse in front, holding the saddle tightly.
