Chapter 578: Horseback riding
Sure enough, after Qiu Ning and Qiao Yushu arrived at the horse farm in the barracks on the second day, when Qiu Ning saw the little white mare, he liked it at first sight. The young mare is very healthy, has a very pure coat, and has a strong body, and is extremely powerful at first sight.
At this time, because it was the first day of the new year, the soldiers began to take turns resting. Of course, some of them can go home to visit relatives. It was also the first time in many years that soldiers could take turns off and go home to visit their families. Because Qiao Yushu repelled the king of the Western Regions, it was impossible for the people of the Western Regions to launch a large-scale attack for the time being. In the case of a small-scale sneak attack, only one companion is needed to deal with it. Therefore, Qiao Yushu ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest, and they could resume visiting relatives normally. Generally speaking, family leave is one month, and it is the time of the New Year's Festival, and this month of leave is simply a blessing for many soldiers.
Of course, if you can't go home, you can wait until after the New Year's holiday, and you can continue to take turns to visit relatives. Anyway, once in a year, all the soldiers can go home. Qiao Yushu didn't want the soldiers to be separated from their families all the time, or many of them had been soldiers all their lives, but they didn't even have the kung fu to marry their daughters-in-law. If all the soldiers are given a holiday, they can go back to marry if they want to, and they can be filial to their parents if they want to go back. It's good that everybody can live a normal life.
And most importantly, this year there are the most silver hairs in the army, almost twice as many as in previous years. In addition to receiving the ringing silver, each soldier also had cotton clothes and food for the festival, as well as some materials sent from Beijing. This is the favorite of the soldiers, not to mention the dignity of going home with silver, and the ability to ask for a daughter-in-law. In the past, it was said that those who were poor soldiers can now be regarded as seeing silver. The soldiers were all very happy, and even if they couldn't go home, they thought about bringing back the money to their families, hoping that their families would have a good year.
Of course, those who have no relatives and no care also have their place, and they can go to the homes of acquaintances in border cities to celebrate the New Year. Or stay in the army and celebrate the New Year with the soldiers who can't go home, and the New Year in the army is also quite lively, with eating, drinking and playing. And there are many people and it is lively, everyone laughs and laughs together, and a year has passed.
For the great benefits in the barracks this year, all the soldiers will also receive it, which is not happy, which is not full of joy. After so many years of hard work in the army and so many years of hard work, I just want to save more money and find a daughter-in-law to live a good life when I am old. Before, there were fewer and fewer military sounds, where was there anything saved, but now it's good, everyone can save money.
While the soldiers were happy, they also learned from the eighth prince who sent Xiangyin that it turned out that there were a lot of Xiangyin this year, mainly because of the lord of Baojun. That is, the credit of the boss's wife, it turned out that the boss's wife took the initiative to donate silver for everyone, which led the officials of the whole capital to donate silver for everyone. Therefore, this year, whether it is Xiangyin or the food and drink supplies issued, they are several times more than in the past.
Originally, the soldiers thought that the commander's wife was very good, and she didn't have any arrogance, and she didn't look down on anyone. On the contrary, he treats everyone with a polite atmosphere, gentle and gentle. At this time, I knew that the boss's wife took the initiative to donate 200,000 taels of silver for everyone. Which soldier is not convinced! Which one doesn't admire! The wife of the commander, who is so generous and considerate of everyone, is excited to think about, and it is even rumored among the soldiers that as long as the wife of the commander is guarding the border city, all the soldiers will have a good life, and all the soldiers can drink fragrant and spicy.
I heard that the marshal's wife arrived at the barracks in the morning, and everyone still didn't believe it, but when they saw the marshal's wife actually learning to ride a horse in the barracks, everyone ran over to watch. Qiuning was embarrassed, feeling that he was about to become a zoo animal. It's a bit embarrassing to have such a large crowd around. And what Qiu Ning is most angry about is that the little mare is not easy to serve, and people are arrogant?
Although he let himself ride it, it was mainly because Qiao Yushu was obedient by his side, as long as Qiao Yushu let him ride alone, the little mare immediately became disobedient. Qiu Ning really couldn't cry or laugh, is there such a human-tailed horse? I actually know one set in front of me and one set behind my back. Isn't this clearly bullying yourself?
Qiu Ning made the mare angry, Qiao Yushu laughed on the side, this was the first time Qiao Yushu saw Qiu Ning's helpless appearance. It seems that it is not all good to be pampered, and there are also places that do not work. For example, if you ride a horse, your daughter-in-law is far behind.
Qiu Ning was really angry and annoyed when she saw Qiao Yushu smiling, but she couldn't help it. This little mare is not like driving a car, he will run when he puts the accelerator on his own. What about this reserved pony mother? Obviously, he dislikes himself as a novice, so he deliberately stumbles on himself, but he is helpless and unable to do anything. The little female horse on which Qiu Ning sits, people love to move and ignore it. Even if Qiu Ning has the strength to not admit defeat, he is quite helpless!
Qiao Yushu smiled and helped Qiu Ning to dismount, and then began to help the little mare comb or pat the little mare's buttocks. Qiu Ning watched from the sidelines, and found that the little pony mother liked Qiao Yushu to serve it like this, and it was a pleasure. Qiu Ning was a little jealous, thinking that this little pony mother was too scheming!
"Tyunin, if you want the horse to accept you, you have to like it first. You have to groom it, feed it hay, and let it know how much you love it. It can slowly accept you and be willing to fight with you. Qiao Yushu said as he continued to pet the little pony.
Tyunin somewhat understood, after all, these horses were not cars, not emotionless machines. This little mare needs love, caress and caress just like a human being. As long as the little mare slowly knows his kindness to it, he can be full of kindness to himself and like himself.
"Yushu, you understand a little, it seems that this horseback riding is indeed a technical job, I have to take my time, I can't be in a hurry. But Yushu, this little mare is in the barracks, and it is not convenient for me to come to the barracks from time to time, what can I do? Qiu Ning frowned.
"Take the house to the house, there is a small pony farm in the backyard of the house, and there is a small stable, and when spring comes, bring the little mare back to the city. You'll be able to take care of it every day and build a bond with it. ”
"Thank you, then I'll take this little mare!" Tyunin stepped forward and gently began to follow the little mare's hair, hoping that this would make the little mare like her.
Qiao Yushu looked at Qiu Ning's cautious and serious appearance, and smiled slightly: "Qiu Ning, let's have a child!" I think if I have a child, it's better to be a boy, so that I can teach him to ride a horse and teach him martial arts! ”
Qiu Ning's face flushed, she lowered her head slightly, and said angrily: "You don't like it when you say that's your daughter?" (To be continued.) )
