Chapter 226: Means of Transportation

"My real name is Qiao Zhinan, I am 15 years old this year, and my father is one of the many programmers in Wangu. In order for me to board Noah's ark, I made a deal with the Mangtian of the first line of heaven, and I had the opportunity to board Noah. ”

Yan Yan on the side wanted to cover her face for a moment, although she felt that it was nothing for Gongzi Xia Hou and others to know about it. But just casually asked, why did Nanhua tell all his foundation! She shouldn't have had hope for Nanhua's questionable character.

"It's okay with my master, but you keep your mouth shut in the future. You are not allowed to tell anyone about this again, but if you really want to say that you have asked me first. After that, she pulled Nanhua and told her, wanting her to be more attentive, and she would say whatever no one asked.

Seeing that Nanhua agreed, she relieved herself and turned around to find her son Xia Hou to continue training.

Early the next morning, they went to the horse market full of interest. The horse market is not far away, and they arrive in a short time, and many players in the horse market come to buy or watch horses. When he came to the house where the horses had been ordered, he saw eight horses standing in a row at the door.

"Are these the eight horses you ordered?" Yan asked out loud in an instant.

"Hmm." Gongzi Xia Hou took the eight small wooden signs handed over by the store and said to them: "These horses are medium to high, and their speed and physical strength are not bad, you can choose your favorite." "It's said that they were to choose, but in fact, it was just for her and Nanhua to choose, and when they came to order a horse, they had already chosen the horse they liked.

Seeing that there were only two horses left, Yan immediately picked the light cyan horse among the two, after all, yesterday Nanhua heard that there was a red date horse. I've been excited and excited. When he received the horse brand from his son Xia Hou, he heard him say, "I picked this horse." Perfect for you. ”

"Thank you, master." She said, and then when she heard the system prompt to name the horse. After frowning and thinking for a while, he decided on the name of the horse: "Qing Yu." ”

"Ding, congratulations to the player for naming the horse 'Qingyu', are you sure or cancel?"

She just wanted to be sure, but Gongzi Xia Hou said, "This horse is male." ”

It's nothing for the male to be called Qingyu, she glanced at Gongzi Xia Hou dissatisfiedly, and finally changed her name: "Han Yu." "Naturally, I want it to run fast. But no matter how fast you run, you can't fly fast, so you can make up for it with a feather word.

This time, Childe Xia Hou didn't say anything more, and her horse was successfully named Han Yu. On the other hand, Nanhua has named her horse Rouge.

In an instant, Yan hung the horse sign on the horse's neck, and at the same time took the reins to the side of Gongzi Xia Hou, and asked him, "Master, what is the name of your horse?" As he spoke, he looked at Childe Xiahou's horse, which was a brown horse.

"Why don't you pick a black horse, the master and the black horse must be very compatible."

What does it mean to go well with a black horse? Although he knew the meaning of her words, Gongzi Xia Hou still couldn't help but tap her and said, "What is not compatible, let alone a pure black horse." There are very few horses in this horse market that have solid colored horses. If there is, it will be sold at a sky-high price, and it is not cost-effective to have such a good horse at this stage. ”

After Gongzi Xia Hou said this, Yan also remembered that there were very few good horses in Yongkang City, and if there was an occasional one, it would be sold for a sky-high price. And other cities are good horses. Although it is still very expensive, it is relatively much cheaper.

In an instant, Yan touched the place where Gongzi Xia Hou had knocked her, and he didn't care about it, it was the master who had a good relationship with her who knocked her. Touch Hanyu's horse's head. She said to everyone, "Let's go riding horses outside the city, my master and I can already ride." But Xiao Nan and you are not very good at riding, you have to practice! ”

Because horses are not allowed to run in the downtown area. They could only sit on horseback and let the horse walk slowly. Because Nanhua was a little scared in her heart, Yan helped her hold the reins instantly. Except for the stiff sitting posture, the other few could not tell that they were riding horses for the first time just by looking at their expressions.

Especially Le Zhengjue, he can't wait to shake the horsewhip and shout 'drive, drive'. The harness of their eight horses was all given away, after all, eight horses were a big deal for the horse sellers. In addition, the store also sent a message that there is a horse farm in the south of the city. Not only can you run horses and feed horses, but there are also people who specialize in teaching people how to ride horses.

When Yan heard the smiling shopkeeper say this, she knew what he was talking about, after all, she had planned to take them to that horse farm to learn how to ride horses. Not only is that place spacious, but Nanhua, who can't ride a horse, can learn faster if they are taught by a special person.

After all, she only knows how to ride a horse, not how to teach horseback riding.

The group went out of the city to the south horse farm, and after calling someone to teach Nanhua and others to learn to ride a horse, Yan said to Gongzi Xia Hou eagerly on the side: "Master, let's run once, see who runs back here first." ”

"Do you want to play?" Childe Xia Hou squinted at her.

She laughed and said, "Running and playing, just running and playing." She didn't know how proficient Childe Xia Hou was at riding horses, and she wouldn't want to lose it.

"Then run." From the son Xia Hou on horseback, he shook the reins, turned his head and was about to say, 'Let's start', when he saw that his little apprentice had already clamped the horse's belly, and the horsewhip sounded and ran away.

Childe Xia Hou: ""Even if he still makes his heart, he can't win it." The whip swung and the horse neighed, and then sped up.

Although he made his heart, Yan was only half a horse's head faster than Gongzi Xia Hou in the end, and finally returned to the original point together. Gongzi Xia Hou was a little surprised in his heart, his sister only rode the horse sent by the Meng family occasionally, and he rode most of the time.

Later, his sister took the horse to marry the Meng family, and he often took the opportunity to see his sister to ride the horse. Until the year before he boarded 'Noah', the horse had almost become the horse he kept in the Meng family. In this way, his apprentice even ran with him without a win.

His little apprentices, sure enough, have something to hide from them.

Yan was not very comfortable at the moment, in her previous life, she couldn't afford to buy a horse, but she also rented a horse from the post station to travel. Later, I bought a horse with an average speed, and I almost had to ride it when I went out. In this way, she played tricks, and she didn't even run away from Gongzi Xia Hou, which made her really unhappy.

Dismounted with a dazed expression, she raised her eyes to see Nanhua, who was learning to ride a horse. I found that the best thing I learned was Wuxian Shentu, and I could already trot on a horse. This clock ion led the horse towards her. As soon as he came to her, he compared the thumbs up. said with a look of praise: "Xiao Yan really didn't see it, the boss has been riding a horse for several years." I didn't expect you to have a draw with him. ”

Thinking that Zhong Ion was here to comfort her, she hummed without any reaction. When Zhong Cheng saw it, he reached out to pull Baili Zhuge who was sitting on horseback next to him, and pulled him down.

"Zhongli, don't you want your hand anymore?" Baili Zhuge who was taken aback said with a black face.

Zhong Cheng said nonchalantly: "I'm wrong, you say, how did Xiaoyan ride the horse?" ”

Baili Zhuge who was concentrating on learning to ride a horse, of course, also knew that the two horses had arrived almost together just now, and said, "Not bad." After all, he can have a tie with the boss who often rides horses. ”

At this moment, Yan also understood, scratched his nose embarrassedly, and said, "I'll go to find the master." Nodding to the two of them, she ran to her son, Xia Hou, who was exchanging feelings with Ma.

It was a pleasant place for a few people to stay in the racecourse, but after a while of lunch, Yan said goodbye to a few people in an instant. Why? Because she still has to go to the mirror grinder on Daiqiao Street to do chores for him!

After explaining that Nanhua studied hard, she turned around step by step and returned to the city. Fortunately, in the area of Daiqiao Street, most of the streets are the whole street, and there are only a few pedestrians, which does not belong to the busy street. That's why she was able to ride the horse to the goal, saving a lot of time.

Sure enough, it's a miscellaneous! Let her move the bronze mirror outside to dry for a while, let her plaster the copper mirror for a while, and let her grease the copper mirror for a while!

I think of the long way forward. At an instant, Yan Cai did not immediately pester the mirror grinder and teach her the craft of mirror repair. She was plastering a large bronze mirror, and there was one more in the mirror besides her reflection.

"When are you going to take me away?" The mirror is humane.

Aiming at the glass-grinding man sitting in his eyes. She whispered, "What's the hurry, I still have to work here for a month!" ”

Although the mirror collector is still a little reluctant to grind the mirror man. But I also wanted to leave this dark place for more than ten years, so I asked: "He has a kind personality." You might as well tell him to earn money and give it to him, and let him give you a few days. ”

"It's not about money, it's about me trying to learn his craft." She replied in a whisper as she plastered. After half a ring, the mirror man suddenly said, "I'll teach you." ”

Belch? Hearing the mirror collector say this, she couldn't help but look up at the mirror.

"After watching it for so many years, even a fool can watch it." The Mirror Collector's tone was emotionless.

Instantly, Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell him now, after the money is given to him, you are ready to go with me, and I will find a way to let you meet later." ”

"Wait, it's tomorrow, I'm not mentally prepared yet."

She said speechlessly, "Whatever you want." Scanning the mirror man in her glasses like a little daughter-in-law, she began to hesitate whether to take him away or not. After all, he appeared because of the mirror grinding, and the relationship between the two must be complicated and difficult to solve. Since the mirror collector can teach her, then she doesn't have to waste time doing chores here. Decisively dropped the rag and went to the mirror grinder, and he was really as good at talking as the mirror man said.

"Okay, tomorrow you send the remaining five hundred taels, so you don't have to do chores again." The Mirror Grinder listened to her request and said.

Smoothly left from the residence of the mirror grinder, and after a while, Yan thought about it and rode to Chestnut Lane, Gu Jiuniang's residence. One is to take a look at her, and the other is to ask how to send a letter. In her previous life, she never needed to send letters or anything, and now she can only ask Gu Jiuniang.

From afar, she saw Gu Jiuniang drying things at the door of her house, and when she got closer, she found that it was some bleached and dyed cloth, which was still dripping with colored water on the bamboo pole.

"Aunt Gu." She rolled over and dismounted.

Gu Jiuniang, who was dressed in coarse cloth, heard the voice, and when she turned around, she saw a girl jumping off the horse in a heroic manner, who was the niece of the good sister who had secretly left her silver before.

"Yan Niang." Gu Jiuniang looked surprised, and hurriedly wiped her hands on the cloth around her waist, and greeted her in the house: "Come in and sit in the house, there are more people outside." ”

She found that there were a lot of things in the room this time, not only was there a set of teapots on the table, Gu Jiuniang turned around and took out three plates of dim sum and pastries. She didn't say anything polite to Gu Jiuniang, she picked up a piece of rice cake and said while eating: "Aunt Gu, I came here this time to ask you, what should I do if I want to send a letter." ”

"Send a letter?" Gu Niang sat down and said to her: "If you send a letter, take the letter to the post station, and if someone sends the letter, you will collect money according to the distance." ”

The post station is still in charge of delivering letters, she just knew. Stuffing the rice cake in her hand, she said to Gu Jiuniang: "Aunt Gu, I want to write a letter to Aunt Xiao, do you have anything to say." ”

"After seeing Sister Xiao's letter that day, I wrote a reply." Gu Jiuniang took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve and said, "I wanted to find time to go outside the city, but in the past two days, I used the money you left behind to buy some paint utensils and dye cloth, and I really can't leave." ”

She took the letter and said, "Give it to me, and I'll send it to you with you." ”

"Oh, okay." Gu Jiuniang put down her rolled up sleeves, and then said, "Yan Niang, you are Sister Xiao's niece, then I won't be polite to you." With the money you left behind, I now have a livelihood. I won't say that I will pay you back the money, but you will treat me as your home in the future. As long as you come, this door is open at all times. ”

She also smiled at Gu Jiuniang: "That's right, I call you Aunt Gu, if you treat me as an outsider, I will have to write a letter to complain to Aunt Xiao." ”

"Good girl, this is for you." Gu Jiuniang wiped her eyes, took out a narrow wooden box and handed it over from the table.

She looked at the wooden box and asked strangely, "What is this?" ”

Gu Jiuniang stretched out her hand to open the wooden box, took out a flat silver hairpin decorated with two silver lings, and said, "This is the jewelry I used when I was a girl, and it is not suitable now, you can wear it and play with it." As he spoke, he stood up and plugged her in.

Anyway, he and Aunt Xiaogu are good sisters, they both like to give her jewelry. She shook her head slightly, listened to the pleasant voice, and said, "It's beautiful, then I'll thank Aunt Gu." ”

"It's a girl like you who looks good in it." Gu Jiuniang smiled happily.

In an instant, Yan asked Gu Jiuniang to be busy, she took out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, set up a table, and began to write a letter to Xiaogu. Anyway, she was going to go out of the city to find Gongzi Xia Hou and them, so she just wrote a letter and sent it to the post station by the way. Kankan filled two pieces of paper, and when the ink was dry, she put the two letters in her backpack.

Walking outside, she said to Gu Jiuniang: "Aunt Gu, I'll go to the post station to deliver a letter, and I'll come to see you after a while." ”

"Well, okay, you ride slowly!" (To be continued.) )
