"Of course." Shen Liu nodded to Lian Man'er with a smile.

The horse was a Kusuno Yoshikoma who was brought from the west by Shihou in autumn. He deliberately selected the most beautiful, the best, and the more docile of temperament, and gave them to the most capable horse breeders to raise and train. Months passed, and the horse méiyou lived up to his hopes.

Ruguo didn't plan to give the horse to Lian Man'er, why did he bother thinking about it.

And now seeing the surprise on Lian Man'er's face that couldn't be concealed, Shen Liu felt that he had spent all these efforts and months of work to prepare such a gift, which was worth it." His guess was right, Lian Man'er really liked such a gift more than those gold beads and beautiful jade. And he also felt that this gift could better reflect his heart than giving those gold beads and beautiful jade.

"The sixth master's gift is too valuable, it's really deserved, but it's disrespectful, then I'll be ashamed. Thank you, Sixth Master! Lian Man'er blessed Shen Liufu.

"When you learn to ride a horse, thank me again." Shen Liu said, "Now it's peaceful, and many of our customs have followed the south." In the past, the women of our Liaodong Mansion ......"

When Shen Liu said this, he seemed to think of Shime, and his tone paused slightly.

“…… In the previous generations of our Shen family, there were several ladies who did not lose to men in war on horseback. Then, Shen Liucai said again, but his voice was lowered, and the tone seemed to be a little remembrance.

The past events of the Shen family have become a legend in Yijing, Liaodong Mansion. For example, the head of the Shen family, who first followed the first emperor to make a fortune, his wife not only had a pungent personality. And the power is infinite, and he was born and died with the head of the house. Later, the Shen family married a daughter-in-law, and most of them married the daughters of the military generals. It's just that after the world gradually became peaceful. That's how that changed.

Shen Liu said that there are several ladies in the Shen family who ride horses and fight wars and do not neglect men, which is not a lie. And the anecdote that Lian Man'er heard is that it is said that the Shen family once had a lady who, although she had small feet, could ride a horse like a fly.

Lian Man'er listened quietly and said shime.

"Get on the horse and let's go!" Shen Liu glanced at Lian Man'er again. He waved his hand and said.

Everyone got on the horse one after another, and Shen Liu naturally had his exclusive mount. Wulang and Lian Shouxin were also invited to the horse by Xiaowu, Xiaoqi was reluctant to sit in a sedan chair with Zhang's, so he had to be with Lian Man'er, and finally the two sisters and brothers got on the big dark horse together.

This dark horse is trained. Someone else is holding it. Even the two siblings don't know how to ride a horse, and they are not afraid of being in danger.

The architecture of the Shen Mansion is different from the mansions of other princes and nobles, just like the streets and buildings of this Shen City, which incorporate a lot of military elements. From the front of the Phoenix Tower to the gate of the house, there is a special horse road. When the group went out of the mansion, there was another team of soldiers waiting there, in addition to Zhang Qianhu with more than a dozen horsemen to follow the guards, there were also some generals and family members who followed down. I went straight to the street of the light market.

In the flying snowflakes, the colorful lanterns on the street show a different kind of feeling. Various roadside stalls. There are also various lanterns that have been reduced because of this. There are not many people looking at the lights on the street, but it is mostly because of the snow that is falling, and the méiyou is so noisy and crowded. This also provides convenience for the tongguo of the horse team.

After entering the Lantern Market, the horses that opened the road in front of them slowed down, and everyone in Mǎshàng, including the soldiers who were guarding them, enjoyed the scenery of the Lantern Market. Even Man'er Zhidào, many of these guards came from the border city with Shen Liu. This time as a guard, in fact, to a large extent, he also wanted to follow their commander and take a look at the lights in his busy time.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi were riding in Mǎshàng, in the center of the procession, and Shen Liu was right in front of them. The first time I sat in mǎshàng and watched the lights, Xiao Qi was very novel, his little face was red with excitement, and a pair of big eyes were almost not enough. Lian Man'er is naturally much calmer than Xiao Qi, but the joy in her heart is not half a point less than Xiao Qi.

Both siblings wore snow caps on their heads and thick mink cloaks, and they did not have to pull the reins of their horses, but showed only one face. When the pedestrians of Pángbiān saw it, they were only two and a half children. As long as you don't speak, you can't tell whether it's a man or a woman. Therefore, even Man'er didn't have any scruples, hugging Xiao Qiyi all the way over, and the shihou sisters and brothers would talk a few words in a whisper and laugh a few times.

The whole light market is like a winding dragon of lights, and they walk on the back of this dragon. Sitting on horseback, Lian Man'er's gaze took away from Zuoyou's lantern and landed on Shen Liu's back.

The noise of the crowd seemed to fade away, leaving only the lights on the street, the snowflakes in the sky, and the back in front of me. At this moment, in this situation, it would be nice if the road of Ruguo was a little longer. As soon as Shijiān, such a thought arose in Lian Man'er's mind.

Anyway, I hope people will last a long time, Lian Man'er secretly prayed in her heart.

The street of the lamp market in Fucheng will naturally not be short, but in the end, everyone still came to the end of the lamp market, and at this moment, the snow is also heavy, and the snowflakes seem to fall in clusters.

Although everyone was a little unsatisfied, they could only go home.

Lian Man'er's family said goodbye to Shen Liu, and in addition to the people who led the horses for the family, Shen Liu sent a few other people to escort them home. When they got home, those people led the horses back, only the big black horse that Shen Liu gave to Lian Man'er remained, and the sturdy woman who led the horse for Lian Man'er.

And the person in charge was busy coming to report, saying that just now, Shihou, who was driven back by the coachman, also brought a man back.

“…… said that it was the sixth master of the Shen family who sent the ...... to raise horses, although the steward who replied temporarily took people in, but when it came to this shihou, he was still confused.

But the woman who led the horse came over and saluted Lian Man'er.

"The small man's surname is Zhao, the small man's surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Da. The younger two originally raised horses for the sixth master. The sixth master instructed that the little two should be given to the girl, and the horse should be taken care of for the girl, and everything in the future will be obeyed by the girl. ”

Lian Man'er was busy and asked people to call the big Sun over, and the big Sun saluted Lian Man'er again, and handed over the deed of the two people. Lian Man'er had to accept it, it seems that Shen Liu's gift is quite well prepared.

The night was deep, and even Man'er didn't ask the couple much, but only instructed the steward, arranged a house for the two people, and specially cleaned up the stables and arranged the big black horse. As soon as everything was arranged, Aunt Zhou in the kitchen brought someone to deliver snacks for supper.

The whole family was a little hungry, so they sat around and ate.

"Daddy, brother, sister, I also want to learn to ride a horse." Xiao Qi ate a piece of dim sum and said with great interest, "It's really enjoyable to ride on mǎshàng to watch the lights today." It's better than the last time we watched the lights in the nine-story tower. I'm also going to learn how to ride a horse. ”

"This horse méiyou mule is steady, I was in a sedan chair just now and carried my heart." Zhang Shi was worried, "Xiao Qi, you are still young, wait a few more years." ”

The so-called waiting for a few more years is a cliché used by fathers and mothers when dealing with certain requirements of their children. In fact, it's just a delaying tactic, and many fathers and mothers are proficient in this plan without a teacher. And whenever they say this shihou, it often means that they really wait a few more years, and that shihou, even if the child remembers this request, they will not agree.

"Just now we rode a trained military horse, this horse is obedient, but not Rongyi is surprised, there are still people to lead, not to bring accidents." Lian Shouxin said.

Zhang glared at Lian Shouxin and blamed him for dismantling Ziji's platform. However, even Shouxin said this, which did make her feel a lot more at ease.

"The sixth master gave Man'er a horse, this gift is heavy enough." Zhang Shi said again, "Man'er, why didn't you push it just now, why didn't you ask for it?" ”

"Mother, the sixth master sincerely sends it. If I push it on purpose, I'm afraid he will be upset. Lian Man'er said, "Besides, I really want a horse." ”

"The temper of the sixth master is really nàme." Even keep your word.

"We don't want his horse for nothing." Lian Man'er said again, "I've thought about it, and the words I said in the small study can't be said in vain." When we go home, we will take care of it and do our part. ”

"That's good." Gorou nodded.

Even Shouxin and Zhang nodded.

Xiao Qida's eyes blinked, and he flatteringly picked a piece of red bean shortbread and handed it to Lian Man'er.

"Sister, here you go, I love to eat this." Xiao Qi's big eyes smiled and bent into two crescents, and said to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er glanced at Xiao Qi, usually Xiao Qi made this flattering and well-behaved look, just because she had something to ask her. This shihou, Xiao Qi will have shime things to ask her, and even Man'er thinks about it a little, and it will be mingbái. She deliberately didn't see the dim sum Yiyàng handed over by Xiao Qi, took another piece, ate it in small bites, and ignored Xiao Qi's watery and pitiful appearance as he held the dim sum.

Xiao Qi saw that Lian Man'er ignored him, so he had to take a bite of the red bean shortbread in his hand, and then leaned towards Lian Man'er. He wouldn't give up, and he was confident that Lian Man'er would eventually agree.

While eating snacks, Lian Man'er was thinking about raising horses in the future. The cost of raising a horse, especially a war horse like a big black horse, is not small. But of course, that expense is not shime for them today. Shen Liu also sent two horse breeders to her, which is a great thing. In the future, I should think of getting two more horses, and I don't have to worry that no one will raise them.

Lian Man'er thought so, and then remembered what Xiao Qi said just now.

"By the way, why didn't you see Xiao Jiu today?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Shihou, who was watching the lights on the Phoenix Tower, was still there, and then he was called away. said that the eldest master of the Shen family was looking for him. Brother Xiao Jiu didn't have a lot of fun, and he was a little unhappy. Xiao Qi replied, then lowered his voice again, and said in Lian Man'er's ear, "Sister, Xiao Jiu Brother is still secretly complaining, saying why do they care about him, don't you want him?" ”
