==Chapter 71==
After eating, the four of them separated, Cheng Wenjing and the three said that they were going to the back garden for a walk to eat, Wang Shilang seemed to have something to do, and said that they would meet at the racecourse in the afternoon, and left.
When it was time for the afternoon lesson, the three of them changed into light riding clothes and headed for the horse farm located at the back of the Guozijian.
There are not many students in class today, and the horse farm is very wide, and you can see students riding tall horses everywhere. However, they are all male students, and most of them are not bad at riding, so it is no problem to trot around the field on horseback anyway.
There were also some female students on the field, but not many dared to ride on the horse alone, most of them were accompanied by male students, or three or five female students together, and the two teaching assistants in charge of the imperial art class were watching and instructing from the sidelines.
Jiu Niang also came to this horse farm once, but she had been sitting on the sidelines in the last class, and had not personally stepped forward to practice, but this time she couldn't dodge, because Cheng Wenjing had already gone to the stable with a familiar car, saying that she was going to pick two docile little mares for Jiu Niang and Ruan Ling'er.
Cheng Wenjing soon came out, and the groom behind her led a small mare with a small head. Outside the stables, she began to adjust the saddles on the backs of the two horses, to check the belly straps and the like, and to check the bridles.
It can be seen that Cheng Wenjing's movements are extremely sophisticated, and Ruan Ling'er said enviously: "Wenjing, you are so skilled, if I am as skilled as you, I will definitely not be afraid of riding a horse." β
Cheng Wenjing smiled heartily and said, "If you start learning to ride a horse like me at the age of six or seven, you won't be afraid at this time." β
When she was a child, she was naughty, and she coveted her brothers to ride horses and shoot arrows, so she pestered her brothers to learn. The elders in the family have always been enlightened, but they didn't restrain her, but instead found her a master who taught her imperial shooting.
At this time, Wang Shilang came over and called 'Sister Wenjing' from afar. Cheng Wenjing looked up with a smile and called Brother Shiro.
The movement here has caused the surrounding students not far from here to turn their attention to this place. Wang Shilang is also a popular figure in the country, and there are many people who know him, especially since his sister became the crown princess, and more people pay attention to him.
Not far from here, there was a group of three or five female students, looking at this side and whispering, looking like they wanted to come over but were a little hesitant. finally made up their minds and walked this way together, Cheng Wenjing glared at them unceremoniously, led the horse and walked away.
"Let's go, let's find a quiet place, it's really annoying!"
I don't know who said this last sentence, but Jiu Niang saw that the faces of those female students were not very good.
"Okay, I'm not glad that let's go farther, if you say it so directly, I'm afraid someone will be jealous of you." Jiuniang walked up to Cheng Wenjing and whispered to her.
"If you are jealous, you will be jealous, when I will be rare!" Cheng Wenjing shouted impatiently, and finally suppressed her voice.
Wang Shilang seemed to be accustomed to Cheng Wenjing's attitude, shook his head with a helpless smile, took another horse from the groom's hand, and followed.
Ruan Ling'er was afraid of such tall animals, and even though they seemed docile, they followed them at a distance.
Finally found an open space where there were few people around and no one was riding in circles, and the four people and two horses stopped.
Cheng Wenjing explained concisely, and then said: "You see that these two horses are quite docile, and they are not tall, you can ride them and try them, and my cousin and I will take you around." β
Compared with Jiu Niang, Ruan Ling'er seemed to be less afraid than before, and took the initiative to walk to the horse led by Cheng Wenjing, and then with the help of Cheng Wenjing, she climbed onto the horse, and when she sat down, a thin layer of sweat had broken out on her forehead.
It seems that this girl is not as timid as she imagined, and it may be that the environment in which she lived since she was a child has caused her timid and introverted personality.
"Look, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's easy."
Ruan Ling'er nodded excitedly, her little face was slightly red, "Wenjing, thank you." β
"Alright, thank me for what I did, we're good friends."
Cheng Wenjing has a direct and bold personality, and she doesn't get along well with many noble girls, and she can tolerate her character, but because she has an outstanding and handsome Wang Shilang by her side, she always falls out with each other. Finally, this time I chased my cousin to the Guozijian, and met two girls who had the same temper and didn't covet her cousin, so she let her accept it as a circle of friends.
Cheng Wenjing seems simple, but she is not stupid, Ruan Linger and Xiao Jiuniang have also secretly observed. Ruan Ling'er is used to being introverted, and she doesn't seem to have opened her mind yet, and rarely takes the initiative to talk to Wang Shilang on weekdays. And Xiao Jiuniang is indifferent to everything, Cheng Wenjing can see that she is not interested in Wang Shilang, which is why she never shy away from Wang Shilang in front of the two.
While speaking, the eyes of the two couldn't help but focus on Xiao Jiuniang, who had not moved.
Cheng Wenjing teased from afar: "Jiu Niang, you see that Ling'er dares to get on the horse, don't tell me that you don't dare." β
She really didn't dare!
Jiuniang looked at the not tall horse in front of her with a nervous expression.
In her previous life, Xiao Jiuniang also learned riding, and her riding skills were not good, but they were not bad. It's just that once she was framed and fell off her horse, and she almost survived, and since then she has never talked about riding a horse again.
I really can't forget that shadow, that fear of being completely unable to control my body and almost being thrown out! She also tried afterwards, but as soon as she got on the horse, she couldn't help but stiffen. She had never been a hard critic of herself, and having fallen off her horse once, she knew it was not safe to ride a horse, so she took the car instead.
This is also the fundamental reason why Jiu Niang is so repulsive when it comes to riding and shooting.
"Jiu Niang, are you afraid?" Wang Shilang's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Xiao Jiuniang has never been a person who likes to show weakness in front of outsiders, so how can she admit that she is afraid of the fact of riding a horse.
"Jiu Niang, try it quickly, it's okay with Brother Shiro watching from the side, you think Ling'er and I are fine." Over there, Cheng Wenjing said again.
While speaking, she was already leading the horse and leading Ruan Ling'er to walk in small steps.
Wang Shilang is not a sluggish person, and her fear can be seen from Jiu Niang's eyes and stiff body. This girl has always been indifferent and confident, and she can't help but feel a touch of pity in his heart.
"You get on the horse first, and when you get used to it, I'll lead you around twice, and we'll take our time."
I have to say that Wang Shilang is really a gentle person, not only his appearance, but also his voice can be very light to soothe the impetuousness in people's hearts.
Jiuniang also knew that there was no way to avoid this, she calmed down, took a deep breath, carefully held the saddle, stepped on the stirrup, and turned over the horse.
During this period, Wang Shilang has always maintained a posture of arms open and supportive.
Judging from the posture of getting on the horse, Jiuniang is much more standard than Ruan Ling'er, of course, if you don't mention that she will stiffen directly into the appearance of a stone man after getting on the horse.
Jiuniang tightly grasped the reins in her hand, and after getting on the horse, her vision widened, and it was not high from the ground from her, but it made her feel dizzy, and her eyes were black and white for a while. Especially the faintly beating animal body under the buttocks gave her the illusion that she wanted to blow it up immediately......
In a trance, a gentle voice sounded.
"Look, isn't that good, don't be afraid, take a break......
In her previous life, her riding skills were taught by Wang Shilang, and he taught her so step-by-step and extremely patient......
Only then did Jiuniang realize that it was Wang Shilang who helped her lead the horse, which made her body, which was relaxed by memory, and involuntarily tensed up again.
In this life, Jiuniang didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Shilang, although it was because Cheng Wenjing met repeatedly, but she believed in her self-control, and it turned out that Wang Shilang could no longer do Cheng DΓΉ who could affect her.
Of course, the occasional slight embarrassment in my heart does not count.
At this time, the fear of riding a horse, as well as the warm voice in her memory, made Jiu Niang's mind lose for a moment, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't want to lose Cheng Wenjing's friendship, nor did she want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life......
This made her heart suddenly harden, and her somewhat flustered and trance eyes were also restored to their usual coldness.
"Thank you, Brother Wang, I'm fine."
Driven by this mood, she actually pulled the reins of the horse slightly, driving the horse to take two steps forward, wanting to stay away from Wang Shilang.
Wang Shilang was slightly stunned.
Let's start with Xiao Jiuniang is just a 'friend of Sister Wenjing', because of the manuscript that made his eyes shine, he couldn't help but pay more attention. The more he paid attention, the more he felt that this woman was different from her, and he couldn't tell what was the difference for a while......
Just now, he clearly saw the fragility and panic in her eyes, and for some reason his heart hurt, but in an instant, that fragility disappeared, turning into coldness, alienation and isolation......
He couldn't help but jump in his heart, followed the first two steps, and said softly: "You are riding a horse for the first time, don't be reckless, I will lead you, you first get used to the feeling of being on a horse." β
Jiu Niang couldn't refuse this kind of rhetoric, so she could only hold her breath and nodded, her face slightly stiffened inadvertently.
The horse farm is very empty, and today there is the sun, and the wind is gentle, and it is very comfortable.
Wang Shilang led the horse and walked forward slowly, and Cheng Wenjing saw that this side was also in a state, and couldn't help but smile, and said a few words with Ruan Ling'er with a smile.
The two horses slipped slowly apart some distance.
"Before Wenjing's exam, you gave her a manuscript that you translated yourself, I read it, and the interpretation was excellent, after Wenjing ran out, I specially asked her to borrow it, and I will return it to you in a few days."
Jiuniang was slightly stunned, the manuscript Cheng Wenjing had never returned to her, she thought that Cheng Wenjing had forgotten, and she couldn't use it for the time being, so she didn't care about Cheng Wenjing's request, but she didn't expect it to go to Wang Shilang's hands.
In Jiu Niang's heart, it is best not to have anything to do with Wang Shilang, but at this time, she couldn't say cold words, so she had to nod and said: "I'm not in a hurry to use it here, Brother Wang will return it to me after reading it." β
Wang Shilang smiled slightly, his smile was dazzling and dazzling in the sun, and he seemed to want to say something, but suddenly Jiu Niang's voice interrupted.
"We seem to be a little far away from Wenjing's side, so it's better to be in one place, so that Wenjing doesn't always care about here."
Wang Shilang had to hold the reins and go to Cheng Wenjing's place.
β¦β¦
For the first time in the imperial art class, it was beyond Cheng Wenjing's expectations to make such a big progress, and an hour passed quickly. The students in the racecourse returned their horses to the stables and headed to another open field.
The open field was a flat field, and there were many empty targets in the field.
The most difficult art class has been overcome, and the archery class doesn't seem to be so difficult anymore. Cheng Wenjing and Wang Shilang explained the tricks of archery, how to use ingenuity, and the posture of archery, and the rest only need to practice hard.
With the previous discomfort, this time Jiuniang deliberately stood by Cheng Wenjing's side, and then taught Cheng Wenjing naturally Cheng Wenjing to teach her, as for Wang Shilang, she went to teach Ruan Ling'er.
Wang Shilang explained to Ruan Ling'er in a warm voice while looking at Xiao Jiuniang.
She seems to be deliberately hiding from herself?
Somehow, Wang Shilang always had this weird feeling.
