Chapter 12: A Scroll of Paintings (8)
She looked at Tao Jun and his wife under the east porch, "Actually, it's nothing, you also came out of the door of the mansion, what don't you know...... However, it is naturally inconvenient for men to meddle in housework. Shu Yu and Lao Qi can't help you even if they have the heart, it's all up to you. β
Jingyi smiled.
Yamei has nothing to say, and she doesn't want to know so much. Right now, seeing that Yamei has just passed a small threshold, she is already frightened. She couldn't predict how many passes there would be in the future, but she didn't really have anything to fear......
β¦β¦
Soon Tao Si set off for his post, and first sent Yamei's mother and daughter back to Beiping to visit relatives. After they left, the pottery house was quite peaceful. After the sting, the weather is warmer day by day, seeing the first flowers bloom in the house, and the spring is better than a day of concubine.
Jingyi was bored in the room that day, and she actually took out the wool weaving method that her eldest sister gave her to study. It's just that she has always been limited in female popularity, and she has studied this wool weaving method for some days, and even Qiu Wei, who was watching from the sidelines, has learned it, but she still can't get started.
"Seventh sister-in-law, are you really a top student who has studied medicine? It's really ......" Er Yi came over to look at it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the book and threw it aside, dragging Jingyi to the stable. "Come with me to see Ash."
It is better to name the pony Little Gray.
Jing Yi rescued the pony with Tao Xiao from Chinese New Year's Eve, and has not been to the stable since. The name of the little gray horse is hastily given, but it looks very energetic. The guy who caused Queen Mary's difficult birth was born a circle bigger than the other ponies. Twenty days passed, and with Mary's abundant milk and the careful care of the grooms, it was indeed stronger.
Jingyi and Eryi watched the intimate mother and son outside Mary's stable.
Er Yi took the carrot and teased Xiao Ash and said, "Cute, isn't it...... I come to see it every day. When I came, I was reluctant to leave, and I longed to set up a bed here. Brother Seven said I was going crazy. He had forgotten how he had taken care of Mary...... Seventh sister-in-law, can I teach you how to ride a horse? Grandma said it. β
Jingyi shook her head. Reach out and touch Ash. This foal is much easier to get close to than the white lion. The white lion still only pounces on people to express its preference. When the weather is warm, it begins to lose its hair, and a good set of clothes gives it a flutter, and the white hair is ...... She frowned.
"Brother Qi has so many good horses, which one do you like, just go with him. But you have to turn the corner and say......" Eryi looked at Jingyi with a grin.
"He said it once. I didn't. Jingyi said nonchalantly.
Er Yi was surprised and asked, "What?" β
"Hmm." Jingyi nodded.
"Seventh sister-in-law! My seventh brother is a miser, and it is difficult to want his horse...... He said let it go to you, don't you want it? Are you crazy, or are you stupid? Eryi finally told the truth.
"Isn't it just ......," Jingyi froze. Er Yi's face was stunned, and he didn't look like he was pretending.
Eryi sighed and said, "I raise my hands and surrender." β
Jing Yi saw that Er Yi really made a gesture of raising his hand and said, "Isn't it just a horse...... Besides, I'm really not interested. β
"But Seventh Sister-in-law, there should be an equestrian class in the school, right? I know that in an aristocratic girls' school like yours, equestrian lessons are a must. Er Yi said with a smile, "At that time, my mother also wanted me to go to Shanghai to study like my eldest sister." But I went to see it, and I didn't like it. I can't stand that constraint. β
Jingyi said, "...... I also went to school for a semester. In fact, it's good to get used to those courses. β
She chatted with Er Yi carefully, and learned that the eldest lady of the Tao family, Er An, was an alumnus of Zhiluan. Not to mention that she didn't like it, she couldn't adapt to the completely aristocratic course.
There was a loud noise in the stables behind him, and Ash was eating a carrot, and was frightened by the loud noise and fled to Mary.
Er Yi and Jing Yi were also taken aback.
Er Yi pointed to the closed stable, and said with a smile: "I'm playing temper again." She said, going over to open a small air outlet on the door. After a while, two hot nostrils were exposed, and after a while, they simply began to bite out the timber sheet on the edge of the vent...... Jing Yi curiously took a closer look and asked, "What's going on with this horse?" β
"Leave it alone. Brother Qi has been fighting with it every morning for a while. I see that Brother Qi treats this as a pleasure, and he is not in a hurry. Then I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can be tamed. Er Yi said with a smile.
Jing Yi looked at the white horse teeth exposed in the vent, neat and fresh, it should be a horse that has just grown.
"Let's go, sister-in-law, let's go out for a run." Eryi pulled Jingyi and told the groom to take Queen Mary and Ash out and let them run. She personally went to pick two horses and asked Jingyi to walk with her.
Jingyi didn't change into riding clothes, so she refused to get on the horse.
Eryi couldn't resist her. However, remembering that there is a side-riding saddle at home, someone must have gone to look for it. Jingyi waited by the side of the horse farm, watching Eryi ride a horse. The side saddle was still found to be installed, and Er Yi rode the horse back, waiting for Jingyi to get on the horse. Jing Yi hadn't practiced for too long, and she was no different from a freshman. I was even more trembling when I got on the horse. Fortunately, the horse that Eryi chose for her was very good-tempered. Er Yi held the reins for her, and took Jingyi slowly for a few laps before letting Jingyi come by herself.
Jingyi took the reins in her hand and controlled the horse.
"Very decent, sister-in-law." Eryi stepped back and said with a smile.
Jingyi smiled at her.
Still a little nervous, the hand holding the reins was unconsciously very hard...... By the time she could trot, it was already dark. Only then did she realize that she was the only one left in the racecourse, and hurriedly turned back to find Eryi. Eryi sat on the fence and found her turn around and raised her horsewhip. She turned the horse's head around and ran towards Eryi.
Er Yi smiled and pointed at the horsewhip and said, "Look." β
Jing Yi looked over, and in the adjacent small horse farm, a thin black horse with a wide skeleton was running. In the middle of the racecourse, Tao Xiang held a rope ring in his hand, and with the direction of the black horse's running, he was also turning in circles, ready to trap the black horse at any time.
Tao Xiang didn't seem to see them, he focused on it.
Er Yi smiled: "This horse, the back door of the stables leads directly to this small horse farm." It's a lot of work to get it out and back every day...... Seventh Brother still has a hand in taming horses, and this time he encountered this hard stubble. β
Jing Yi listened to Eryi's tone with a little schadenfreude, looking at Tao Xiang's aura, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal.
"This horse doesn't look like it's homegrown." She said.
"Prince Kora's gift to Seventh Brother. Brother Qi had also had one of these horses before, the size of Queen Mary. Later, I didn't know how to die, and Queen Mary returned to me. Brother Seventh was uncomfortable for a while......" Eryi sighed.
"Yikes." Jing Yi saw Tao Xiang unexpectedly put the rope trap around the horse's neck, followed the steps of the black horse for a dozen steps, and then turned over on the horseβthe black horse galloped wildly, trying to throw him down. Tao Xiang lowered his body, clinging to the horse's back, his hands firmly grasping the horse's mane. When the black horse saw that he couldn't shake off the Tao Xiang who was clinging to it when he ran, he began to tumble and jump...... Jing Yi looked nervous.
The black horse suddenly took off with its front hooves, kicked its hooves frantically, jumped, and finally threw Tao Xiang off his back.
Jingyi saw that as soon as the black horse turned around, his front hooves were raised, and he was about to step on it, Tao Xiang quickly turned over, the black horse stepped into the air, stopped his steps, and the sand and dust on the ground was lifted high. Tao Xiang rolled over and stood up.
"Seventh brother be careful!" Er Yi couldn't help but shout.
Tao Xiang retreated cautiously, and the black horse remained motionless, looking at him with his head held high.
He suddenly ran towards the black horse, who didn't seem to expect him to attack head-on like this, and before he could react, Tao Xiang had already turned over on the horse, tightened the rope loop around its neck, and grabbed the horse's mane to prevent it from throwing itself off...... The black horse was like a madman, jumping like a frog in the pony.
Tao Xiang was thrown down by it twice.
However, his time on horseback was longer and longer.
Jingyi and Eryi had lost track of time, and the horsemen picked up the lanterns early and gathered around to watch this rare scene.
The black horse may have been tired, and after being tightened again, it did not resist so violently. Tao Xiang didn't dare to be careless, controlled the rope, and ran a few laps with it.
"Brother Seventh is good!" Er Yi laughed and shouted.
Tao Xiang turned his head and glanced at this side.
Jing Yi was looking at him.
He seemed to be laughing, but just as he was about to direct the black horse to come this way, the black horse suddenly threw himself around, and he was thrown to the ground...... Seeing the dust around him rise, he raised his hand and waved, thinking that this guy was about to attack him again, and was about to turn over to dodge, but the black horse had already approached him, and the big nostrils moved, spewing hot air, and arched at his face.
Tao Xiang was stunned by this arch, and after a while, his palm fell on the horse's nose and touched it.
The dark horse immediately sneezed.
Tao Xiang was sprayed with saliva and snot, and his face was wet. He raised his arm and rubbed his face, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
The people at the fence were already laughing.
He turned his head: "Still not coming to help?" β
He waved his hand, the smoke and dust in front of him dissipated, so many people were laughing, and Jingyi was also laughing......
