Chapter 10 Horseback riding
The little maid Cui'er ran from the verandah panting, holding a cloak of emerald woven feather satin in her hand. Qiao Wei stepped forward to pick it up and took it to Jinyi. Just when she heard that she was going to see the horses in Fuxi Hall, she had already taken the little maid and hurried back to the room to get the cloak.
Cai Jing on the side saw it in her eyes, and sighed slightly after all, she was a person who had followed Miss for many years, and her thoughts were really more thoughtful than herself.
Qiao Wei hugged the cloak and walked around behind the white hoof with some caution. Jin Yi smiled when he saw it: "Don't go from behind, be careful that it picks up your hooves." ”
Qiao Wei was shocked and said far away: "Miss, it's better for you to come over." ”
Jin Xuan also smiled beside him, took the clothes from Qiao Wei's hand, walked behind Jin Yi, and opened them to drape them for her.
Jin Yi blushed slightly, and let him wear it uncomfortably, and tied the silk in front of his neck. Jin Xuan looked natural and walked towards his horse on the side.
Jin Yi raised his hand and gently stroked the sideburns of the white hoof, and with a slight force, he gently twisted it under its ears. The horse "Tururu" snorted, and turned his head to look at her with great obedience.
Jin Yi patted its head again, brought her body closer, and whispered in its ear while caressing it.
After a long time, she put her hand on the saddle and stepped on the horse, moving briskly and swiftly, and with great skill.
The horse startled, raised its front hooves and neighed. Jin Yi gently took the reins with both hands, and sat firmly on the horse.
Jin Xuan looked at her in some surprise, he didn't expect her horse to ride so well, and called her with a smile: "Follow me." So saying, he turned his horse's head and ran out through the east corner gate.
Jin Yi led the horse to follow.
Out of the East Corner Gate, there is a small maple forest not far away. It's the end of the year, and the leaves have long since fallen, leaving only dead branches. Through the branches, you can see the end of the side in the distance, and there is the green stream.
Qingxi River passes by the east side of Jianye City, and the nobles of the family often sail on the river in summer, which is a good place to cool off. Now in the cold winter season, it is rarely visited, and only the Qingqing River is gurgling.
The two walked through the maple forest, and in a moment they came to the edge of the green stream.
Jin Yi galloped along the path by the river, her cloak fluttering in the wind, as if she was excited in her heart.
I haven't ridden like this in years.
The wind blew across her snow-like face, as if the wind poured into her eyes, and her lilac eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist, which instantly condensed into tears and flew down her cheeks.
Through the mist of tears in front of him, Jin Yi seemed to see the yellow sand in the distance, and the water of the Kang River flowing quietly at his feet. She was still young, sitting in front of her mother's horse, being held in her arms, and the smell of Yixiang and spleen lingered on the tip of her nose......
At this time, in the mountains and forests on the other side of Qingxi, a man dressed in a dark blue crane was sitting quietly on a horse. His eyes were like bright cold stars, bottomless, and a gentle smile spread on his lips, staring at the figure on the black horse in the distance.
The smile grew, and he said to a handsome black-clothed guy behind him: "Mingxin, I'll just say that she will definitely like it......"
Ming Xin didn't say anything, and silently glanced at the master in front of him, such a gentle look on his face was really rare.
By the green stream, Jin Xuan was a little out of breath after him. Although his golden brown horse is also a famous breed, his foot is not as good as the famous BMW of the Western Regions. He was worried that Jinyi would lose, and he didn't care about pity for his beloved horse, so he raised another whip and chased after him.
Jin Yi ran out of more than a mile in one breath before stopping the horse and stopping. She quietly raised her hand and wiped away the tears that remained on her cheeks. When I looked back, a smile was already on my brow.
Jin Xuan chased after him, looking a little worried, seeing that her eyes were slightly red, he asked with concern: "Riding so fast, I'm not afraid of falling." Why are you crying? Scared? ”
Jin Yiyin ran in a hurry, her fair face was flushed, her eyes were bright, as if she was extremely happy, and she shook her head and said, "The wind blew my eyes." ”
Jin Xuan saw that she was radiant, her hair was slightly loose, and there were green silk hanging down her ears. The red Yingluo on the side of her hair is still shaking slightly, which makes her purple eyes shine brightly, bright and moving. I couldn't help but say: "I'm so happy, in a few **** take you and Ru'er to Zhongshan Hunting Ground to hunt." The tone was full of indulgence and pity.
Jin Yi felt comfortable in her heart, and since she came back from her journey, the depression and boredom in her heart have been swept away.
She nodded, and said, "Let's go back." So saying, he turned his horse back the way he came.
This time, the two did not beat the horses as fast as they could, but just let the horses trot along the road.
In the mountains and forests in the distance, the man had been staring at the back of the emerald cloak and disappearing into the maple forest, and then lowered his head and thought for a moment, the gentleness on his face gradually disappeared into his eyes, he gathered the crane on his body, and said to Mingxin: "Go back." ”
Gone from the dust.
Cai Jing was relieved to see that the two of them came back in a short time.
Jin Yi's mind was stable, and he regained his usual calm and tranquil demeanor.
Back to Fuxi Hall, when Mrs. Qin saw her, she didn't blame, and her tone was still gentle: "Sister Yi'er, come and sit down." Then he ordered someone to bring her hot jujube and ginger tea to drink, and said, "I know that you young ladies love to ride horses, but now it is too cold to play with a small matter, and it will be a big deal if you catch a cold." When the weather is better, let Jinxuan take you out to play. ”
Jin Yi responded with a smile, warmed her hands with ginger tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Where is it so delicate." When I was learning food skills at Shang Xiu Tang, I also went to catch cold carp on the glacier with my teacher. ”
After a pause, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "But that time it was really frostbite, and fortunately, I caught a cold carp, which has a great medicinal effect on curing wind and cold." After eating it for a few days, it was all right. ”
When it was time for lunch, all the maids and women came in with big red food boxes.
Xu invited Mrs. Qin to sit on the couch in the middle, and on the empty chairs on both sides, Qin Jinyi and Jinxiu sat on each side. In the past, when Jin Yi was not at home, Jin Ru sat next to Mrs. Qin. Today, Jin Ru was determined to sit on it, and he sat next to her, and Qin Xiang and Qin Lian sat on the side of Jinxiu.
The eldest lady Lin and Xu stood behind the old lady Qin and served Hou Anzhen together, distributing the dishes that the old lady loved in the bowl, but they did not sit.
Ann doesn't eat with them on weekdays, and she doesn't need to stand and serve. I was reprimanded by Mrs. Qin today, and my face was extremely embarrassed, so I went back to the room early.
Jin Yi asked, "Why don't you see the fourth uncle today?" ”
Old Madam Qin frowned when she heard this, "I heard that Brother Chen'er is not good again, so I invited a doctor to come and see her, and she is not available." ”
Jinyi knew before that Qin Jinchen, the widow of the fourth uncle, was only seven years old this year, and he had a high fever when he was a child, and then his brain was a little bad. The originally clever and intelligent child has now become stupid and stupid, no wonder the fourth uncle Xie is so haggard, and it is sad to be widowed early, but the only son has dementia again, and he will not even have a person to rely on in the future.
Jin Yi didn't say anything more and ate quietly.
After dinner, Jinru and Jinyi discussed the matter of holding a meeting for Yishantang in Muxiyuan in the city early tomorrow morning, and Mrs. Qin listened to it, gave a lot of instructions, and said to Jinyi: "Tomorrow, your stepmother will also go with Jinxiu." Your eldest aunt and third aunt will also take your sisters to the bustle. When the time comes, there will be more people, so that your stepmother will take you to recognize you. ”
Xu Shi responded, looking at Jin Yi's eyes were particularly affectionate, Jin Yi was a little surprised in her heart, so she had to smile at her lightly: "Then tomorrow there will be a stepmother Lao." ”
