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 house 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, on the letter, An Jiuniang first said a few words of excuse that Asu praised himself too much, and didn't dare to be Asu's teacher, 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 would not be able to ride a horse, An Jiuniang was quite thoughtful and said that she 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.

"Asu, you have to take it easy, don't be too nervous, if you are nervous, the horse will feel it, you pay attention to the horse's reaction, find the bumpy feeling when the horse walks, and adapt to that feeling." An Jiuniang patiently taught.

Aso also tried to relax his body, sitting on the walking horse did have a feeling of jolting on the waves, and slowly began to let his body grasp this rhythm, Aso gradually felt better.

An Jiuniang saw that Asu felt better riding a horse, and slowly led the horse to walk a little faster, who knew that if she was a little faster, Asu on horseback begged for mercy, "Sister An, are you walking fast, no, I can't be so fast." ”

"Don't you care about my speed, you should care about yourself being relaxed? Asu, let me tell you, riding a horse is also a process for you to tame a horse, especially when riding a strange horse, you must relax in your heart. It's really so magical, a person's state, the horse can really feel it. An Jiuniang said slowly.

Asu nodded silently, and admired An Jiuniang even more in her heart, she can ride a horse and play, her qualifications are mediocre and timid, and she can still teach so tirelessly, which shows that her heart is also broad and bright.

After a few laps, under An Jiuniang's careful teaching, Asu can already sit calmly on horseback and walk by the horse, and occasionally An Jiuniang deliberately speeds up and she can also adapt. "You're already familiar with the horse, Asu, next, I'll let go of the reins, can you sit on the horse and try to follow the horse in circles?" An Jiuniang raised her head and presented a new challenge to Asu.

Asu looked at An Jiuniang's face with a layer of fine beads of sweat, thinking about riding a horse, but she walked, after a few laps, her physical strength would indeed consume a lot, and she hurriedly said, "My good sister, you can rest for a while, I brought pastries in the food box, and today really made you tired." ”

An Jiuniang smiled, wiped the beads of sweat on her head, and agreed to Asu's proposal without prevarication. So they found a small tree and tied their horses, and sat down on the spot to rest.

Just as Asu untied the food box and was about to take out the pastries, at this time, a sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near in the distance, and then looked over, only to see dust rolling on the road in front of him, and two horsemen and horses galloped over, Asu and An Jiuniang quickly got up and looked over, the figure was getting closer and closer, and when he saw it clearly, Aso jumped up, "It's the second cousin, ah, and Fugu Goro." Then he raised his hand and shouted, "Second cousin." ”

It turned out that Li Xiang and Fu Guyang came here today to practice riding and archery. It is said that during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, the Wuju people exams were produced, and the exams were passed for horse shooting, foot shooting, flat shooting, horse pistol, weight-bearing wrestling, etc. Merit-based admission to military attachés is also based on merit.

Li Guangbi and Fugu Huaien are both high-ranking officials of the third or fourth grade of the imperial court, but not all of their sons can be officials directly through Enyin, their official rank is generally only Enyin one son, this discount is given to many people's eldest son, and the later sons can choose the imperial examination or the martial arts examination if they want to be officials.

Li Xiang and Fu Guyang have been preparing for the martial arts examination, while San Lang Li Hui is preparing for the imperial examination.

Li Xiang heard Asu's voice, and hurriedly signaled to Fu Guyang, the two stopped the horse, and after dismounting, they directly took the bow and arrow in their hands and walked towards Asu and An Jiuniang.

"Asu, An Jiuniang, why are you here?" Li Xiang couldn't help but wonder when the two came together.

"Sister An taught me how to ride a horse today, just sit here and rest for a while, second cousin, are you out hunting today?" When Aso saw the bow and arrow, he immediately thought of hunting.

Li Xiang and Fu Guyang looked at each other and smiled, and Fu Guyang answered, "We are practicing riding and archery, and in two months, the military department's martial arts examination will start to register, and we have to practice diligently." ”

Asu nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, he knew a little about the imperial examination, and he did know very little about the martial arts, so he thought of the dim sum in the food box, so he hurriedly greeted, "Oh, by the way, I brought my own pastries, let's go over and taste them together." ”

"It's okay, it's still Sister Asu's preparation, as soon as I say it, I also feel a little hungry, haha" Li Xiang ran to the food box completely unceremoniously, and the other three looked at each other and smiled, and also followed.
