Chapter 30: Feeding the Horses
Nie Siyun is too familiar with the Weining Hou Mansion, every grass and tree here is full of her familiar smell, even if she walks in the storm, the long-lost feeling in her heart still gushes out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The raindrops hit her, and she walked through the storm like a petrel. The rain washed over everything she had past, and she enjoyed the baptism of the rain to the fullest, with the joy of being reborn.
She chose a shortcut to walk, and in the wind and rain, the maids and daughters in each room panicked to collect the clothes and other items that were dried out, and no one cared about them, and some people liked to walk in the rain. Of course, this is not a stroll.
Nie Siyun soon came to a low wall.
This is the west side of the Weining Hou's Mansion, where there is a spacious stable that houses one of the most valuable horses in the province: Chasing the Wind.
Chasing the wind is a thousand-mile horse, in this era of horse-riding, the thousand-mile horse is already rare, and it is a gift from the first emperor, grateful to the old marquis for his rescue. Moreover, this horse comes from Dawan, which is rich in famous horses, and it is also the favorite mount of the first emperor......
When this horse arrived in the Weining Marquis's Mansion, where did the old marquis dare to ride this horse with a valuable status? Good fodder was provided every day, and a very spacious stable was built for him to live in, so as not to be left behind.
Sometimes, a royal gift is a big problem.
Nie Siyun stood in front of the low wall for a few seconds, quickly visually measured the height of the wall, and then, taking a few steps back, ran without thinking, trying to leap over.
Soon, she realizes that she was wrong.
Couldn't be more wrong.
She fell from the wall like an upside-down onion, and when she landed, she bent her knees again, and the whole person knelt heavily on the ground, her knees rubbed on the ground, and suddenly a sharp pain was transmitted.
Nie Siyun gritted her teeth, but smiled bitterly. The low wall in front of him was less than half a person high, and other peers had already jumped over easily, not to mention that as Nie Shuai's daughter, she had also learned some kung fu.
She was really defeated by herself.
However, this also does not blame her. She forgot that she was pushed down from the rockery a few days ago, and she lost too much blood and was very weak. I don't feel anything when I walk on weekdays, but when I jump, my original form is revealed.
"It seems that this body bone needs to be repaired well, otherwise, there really can't be anything." Nie Siyun laughed at herself, gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, patted the dirt on her body, tidied up her clothes, and tried not to show any traces. Then, head towards the stables.
In his previous life, his grandfather was majestic and cold, and he didn't smile, and his granddaughters in the mansion didn't dare to get close to him, and Nie Siyun was the same. Every time she saw the indifferent face of the old marquis, she always felt worried in her heart, and she took a detour from afar.
As for this stable, she had never been here in her previous life.
Now she realized that this stable for horses was indeed very beautiful.
The purple-red glazed tiles meander to both sides, and one large, two small and three rooms run through each other, bright and spacious, not to mention one horse, ten horses can live.
Now only one horse is lived, which shows how noble and prominent this horse is.
The stables are very dry and airy, and there is no strange smell peculiar to ordinary stables. On this thunderous evening, the wind swirled uncontrollably in the stables, blowing up all the fodder in the manger. Nie Siyun looked at it, it was blue grass, and it was estimated that it was cut in the morning.
In the night of lightning and thunder, the horses were also afraid. But after all, it is a famous horse, no matter how scared he is, he will not show it, he just takes two steps back, staring at Nie Siyun with vigilant eyes, and the last two hooves are slightly raised to rise, presumably to give Nie Siyun a dismount.
Nie Siyun couldn't help but want to laugh: This horse's mind is too heavy!
However, no matter how vigilant it is, if you meet her, it will be considered unlucky!
The lanterns of the stables were lit, and they were tossed and turned by the wind and rain, and they were paranoid and refused to extinguish them. Presumably, the little guy who was in charge of raising this horse was still there just now, and now he may have run home to do his own thing, right?
With the help of the rickety light, Nie Siyun carefully looked at this precious horse, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
What a shame!
The former vigorous Maxima, after all these years of pampering, has grown fat, his body has changed, his flesh is loose, his eyes are dull, and he does not have the slightest look that Maxima should have.
This horse is a waste!
Time is pressing, and the little man who ran out to do other things in the middle of the road will soon turn back, and at this time, Hou Ye must be on his way home. Without the slightest hesitation, Nie Siyun took out a small porcelain bottle that had been prepared a long time ago from her sleeve pocket, poured some powder from it, sprinkled it in the manger, and then mixed it with some grass cut in the morning.
A gust of wind blew, and a faint scent of grass wafted by.
Nie Siyun was not in a hurry, and quietly examined the horse.
The horse was still very vigilant at the beginning, but after all, he couldn't resist the faint fragrance of the grass in the manger, so he let go of his hooves and ran over, desperately nibbling on the grass in the manger, and ate it with relish.
Nie Siyun stretched out her hand, stroked its shiny hair, and said softly: "Ma'er, I'm sorry." "Turn around and leave quickly.
As soon as her forefoot left the stable, the little servant hurried over with her hind foot. Perhaps he was afraid that he would be discovered by someone who had just left his post without permission, but the little servant did not find anything unusual in the stable, so he picked up a handful of hay from the haystack next to him and threw it into the stable.
Nie Siyun hid in the dark and observed for a while, confirming that his actions were not discovered, and then left with peace of mind.
When he came to Tingtaoxuan, where the old marquis lived, Nie Siyun was soaked by the rain, and the bun that was pulled up was also blown away, and a few locks of wet broken hair were attached to his ears, dripping droplets of water drop by drop.
She really saw the back of the third young lady, Nie Siyao.
At this time, Nie Siyao's back is not as slender and moving as in the past, although she is kneeling in front of the old marquis's study, her appearance is more like curled up on the ground. Because, the huge thunder that followed just now almost scared her stupid.
Next to it, in the distance, stood Nie Siyao's close-fitting girl ring saffron. She got Nie Siyao's advice, asking her to keep the wind away from the side, and if she saw Hou Ye coming, cough and warn.
Nie Siyao frequently looked back at Honghua, and Honghua couldn't stop shaking her head, her face helpless. It means that miss, the old marquis hasn't come over yet, you can hold on a little longer.
Nie Siyao's face showed a look of despair, and she couldn't help but secretly regret her actions.
She miscalculated.
Before her, she was full of confidence. Because, she heard that the old marquis was already on the way home, so she remembered the depressed look on the old marquis's face when she made a mistake in the house, as well as her mother's urging. She looked at the sky, and with a twist of her mind, she came up with an opportunistic trick.
It was getting dark, it was almost time for dinner, and the rain was coming soon. Seeing his own granddaughter hungry and kneeling in front of the study in the wind and rain, the old marquis shouldn't be so hard-hearted, right? What's more, she didn't make much of a mistake, at most she didn't notice it.
She was secretly proud of her calculations, and took advantage of the old marquis's mercy to exonerate herself. The most important thing is that kneeling in front of the old marquis's study for a short time is not considered hardship.
But now, in the face of this unexpected scene of the storm, she feels as if her wishful thinking has been wrong.
Where has the old marquis gone, why hasn't he come back? She's been kneeling here for nearly half an hour!
She is Miss Jiaojiao, why does she suffer so hard? After only half an hour, she already felt a pinprick pain in her knees, and her feet might be useless if she knelt down again.
At this time, she no longer cared about her image, knelt for a while and sat down, ignoring the red flower desperately reminding her on the side. She couldn't take it anymore.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Honghua exclaim: "Seven, Miss Seven, why are you here?" ”
