Because Liu Che has a three-day holiday, even Gillian doesn't have to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so Gillian was full of thoughts that no one would care if she could sleep well, but Liu Che kept calling her to urge her to get up.

She pulled the quilt over her face, ignoring his broken thoughts, but she couldn't get up.

She heard the sound of him getting up and getting dressed, and thought to herself that the world had finally quieted down. After a few seconds, he lifted the quilt and leaned in to coax a child, "Get up, I'll take you out." ”

Get out? Where to?

She was in good spirits at once, and asked him with a bright heart, "Can you go out?" Where to? Out of the palace? ”

Liu Che saw that she was interested, but he didn't say anything. went out to ask someone to wait for him to wash, Gillian called him a few times and did not respond, so she had to call Haitang to come in and serve her to get up.

It wasn't until breakfast was finished that Liu Che seemed to come out of the non-service area, received Gillian's curious and excited hints, pretended to take a casual look at Gillian's dress, and said to Yulan while cleaning his hands in the jade basin: "Go and bring the few sets of riding clothes made for the crown princess, and then change her into a good riding bun." He glanced at Gillian again and explained: "Before you enter the palace, I will ask them to do it, you see which one you like, I will wait for you in the outer hall." After speaking, he called Shang Chuntuo to change his clothes.

It turned out to be riding a horse, and she was barely able to make do with it.

Although it was a little cold in early winter, it was still good for Liu Che to go out for a while.

You can ignore the little bit of pretending to be an uncle in front of the emperor, and left with a little hand, asking the chick to change her clothes.

She still obediently followed Begonia into the inner hall, she sat in front of the dresser, Begonia divided five by two, took off the bead hairpin on Gillian's head, and then tied up her hair and gave her a Lingyun bun that was easy to move. Because she wanted to ride a horse, she only inserted a hollow twig and a lotus hairpin to fix her hair.

After combing, Gillian looked left and right in the unclear bronze mirror, feeling satisfied. Simple and generous, youthful and compelling.

She got up again and went to the dressing room to change her clothes, and when the wooden pen saw her come in to offer treasures, she pointed to more than 20 palace people holding trays and said: "This is all the fashionable style that the prince has seen in recent years, and ordered it to be made for Niangniang, and Niangniang will see which set she likes." ”

There were more than 20 palace people, five people in a row, and four or five rows. They respectfully lowered their heads and held the tray, waiting for Gillian to pick it up. She stepped forward and looked through the rows, and all of them were exquisitely made. There are all kinds of colors, such as lotus, daisy, crimson, crimson, and cyan, and she looked behind her, Liu Che not only ordered to do autumn and winter, but also made more than ten pieces in spring and summer.

The Han Dynasty advocated black and respected black. She chose a set of Xuanqing and asked Zijing to hang these unused clothes in the living room.

When she changed her clothes and went to the inner hall, Liu Che was already waiting for her. Seeing her come out, he got up and took her by the hand while praising himself for his good eyesight: "Every set I choose should be quite suitable for you, and you will be very good in this set." ”

Horses are probably equivalent to famous cars to today's people. However, the significance of horses to the ancients can be said to be more profound.

"The Legend of Ma Yuan" said: "The horse is the foundation of the armor, the great use of the country, and the peace is in the order of respect and humility, and there is a change, which is difficult to help far and near." "In the era of cold weapons, the strength of cavalry can be said to determine the fundamentals. The strong cavalry of the Xiongnu and the siege of Pingcheng in the early Han Dynasty made Han Gaozu realize that "the chariot rider is also armed in the world", for this reason, even the early Han generals could only take ox carts, and the Han Dynasty actively raised funds to set up sound institutions to develop the horse breeding industry. He ordered the servant to be in charge of raising horses, and there were official positions such as the servant, the order, and the chief. The servants are in charge of the six stables of the Son of Heaven, and they go to one of them, the Chenghua stable.

Gillian thought that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, the border of the Han Dynasty was repeatedly harassed by the powerful and arrogant Hun cavalry. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, because the Qin Dynasty **** and the continuous war were also notoriously poor, the Han family pursued the inaction of Huang Lao's doctrine, and the emperor was even more frugal.

She thought not to pick a horse that was too good and too good, and she didn't want to waste it too much if she didn't know how to ride a horse for fun. After the result arrived, after the servant Cheng respectfully led to the horse breeding place, Gillian looked at the stables that could not be seen all over the mountains, her voice was a little fluttering, and her body trembled a little: "How many horses are there?" ”

This Liu Che really didn't know, so he glanced at the servant. The servant said: "If you go back to the princess, there are 1300 good horses in this stable." ”

So much?

She couldn't help but ask again: "How many horses are there in the country?" ”

The servant thought for a while and replied: "Hui Niangniang, there are thirty-six pastoral gardens, and the total should be about 300,000. ”

So much? And that's just the official number of horses. The Han Dynasty encouraged the private sector to raise horses, and horses were exempted from military service, and the government issued a decree strictly prohibiting the theft and slaughter of cattle and horses. Presumably, counting the folk horses, 400,000 is expected.

The cultivation and recreation of the previous generations of the Han Dynasty and the development of the horse industry laid the foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the two Yue in the south, the Xiongnu in the north, the Western Regions, the Nanyi and the Korea in the east. It's really a ten-year tree, a hundred-year-old tree.

With such a determination to do something in several generations, the son of the Han family is really admirable.

She looked at the stables full of well-built, shiny horses, many of which were neighing and chirping. It's just dazzling, I don't know who to choose, the royal horses are all fine horses, and the horses all look tall and handsome. She looked at this horse and touched that one, and it was almost difficult to choose. What a sweet annoyance, she thought happily.

Liu Che asked someone to take out the horse he was used to riding, and when he looked back, Gillian's eyes were almost squinting. I was so happy to see her, happier than ever to give her jewelry and clothes. The highest level of pleasing people is naturally to make that person satisfied. So, he's happy.

He walked over, and the black horse, who was standing meekly, saw that it was him, and snorted excitedly, resting his head on his shoulder and rubbing it gently. Gillian said excitedly: "Does it know you?" ”

He touched the horse's head and replied: "I ride a lot and come often, so it knows me." Horses are the most loyal and humane. Black beauty, it's docile, you just ride it. He untied it and took it into her hand and motioned for her to take it.

Not far from the stable is the paddock, which is not a small grassland.

On a sunny day in winter, the sun shines on the all-black horseback and warms the outfit. There is not a trace of floating in the sky, and the grasslands in the world are also open, so that people can't help but want to shout.

Gillian turned over on the horse neatly, feeling very handsome. But she raised her eyes to see Liu Che, who rode out like a bolt of lightning on a tall red horse. As soon as she shook the reins, the black beauty strode briskly as if she knew her heart. After the initial acceleration, the black beauty began to spread its hooves and run, and Gillian sat on its back and grabbed the reins and listened to the wind whistling by her ears. The world is so big, she is so small. People are in it, and they become open all of a sudden.

She saw the outline of a mountain from a distance, but looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, it looked very close, but in fact it was very far away. In the same way, it felt that it was not far from Liu Che's horse, but he got off the horse and waited for her for a while before she ran to him.

The black beauty is simply too obedient, too docile and sensible. When it ran too fast, she gently pulled the reins and it knew to slow down. When it's almost there, you don't need Gillian to move the reins. It stopped speeding on its own and slowly stopped in front of Liu Che. Then the front body bent down slightly, which was convenient for Gillian to dismount. Even the pony supervisor who trotted over to give Gillian a foot was saved, and she came down easily.

The black beauty snorted and brought her head to her. A pair of large, gentle brown eyes looked at her roundly, and it almost melted her heart. She couldn't help but hold its head, gently resting her head against its face, touching it with her hand and muttering, "Good horse." ”

Liu Che didn't speak, just watched her and Ma make out from the sidelines. When she had enough of intimacy with the horse, she instructed the accompanying horse supervisor to lead the horse down to feed him with water and feeding, and he said the main points in detail, until the horse supervisor said that he was eager to take a small notebook and write it down before waving him down.

In the Han Dynasty, ordinary people ate two meals, but the royal family ate three meals, and I heard that Emperor Jing's uncle had to eat four meals because of fatigue, no matter what, it was time to eat again.

The accompanying palace people brought everything they needed, so Gillian washed her hands and face under the service of Begonia, and combed her hair with a wooden pen because of the loose bun.

Gillian had ridden a horse before, but it was the first time she had met a horse as docile and cute as Black Beauty. Therefore, she couldn't help but still talk about it while eating, and kept praising how sensible and smart it was. talked endlessly, Liu Che couldn't even interject the words, he didn't speak, listened to her with a smile, and echoed when she asked questions from time to time. Chuntuo Begonia and the other people who were waiting stood not far away, and they couldn't help laughing.

Gillian said it several times, and finally said "The black beauty is the best and best horse, and I like to die of it." As a closing remark, she ended the praise, and when she finally finished speaking, Liu Che personally filled her with a bowl of soup. She took several sips and reacted a little embarrassed: "Am I talking too much?" ”

Liu Che looked at her seriously: "You are better like this, you were too quiet in the past." I didn't even know that you liked something so much, and I would bring you with me often in the future. ”

He looked at her affectionately, and suddenly embarrassed Gillian again. She glanced at Chuntuo and them, all of whom looked down at the ground with their heads down, lowering their sense of presence. She was even more embarrassed, she blushed all of a sudden, so many people were there.

Liu Che was even happier, he hadn't seen such a real and smart Gillian for a long time. When she was a child, she always seemed to be a little more sensible than the average child. When she grew up a little more, she was limited to the identities of two people, and she began to know how to avoid it. is so similar to the joys, sorrows and sorrows of this age, he hasn't seen it for a long time, and only at this time, she is more like a girl. However, no matter what she is, she is Gillian, and she is the Gillian who has known and understood his joys, sorrows and sorrows with him for so many years. He liked them all.
