212 Horseback riding
Ji Rushuang's father laughed so openly, Ji Rushuang herself was ashamed, but Zhao Hao was happy.
Because, he knew that he had passed the level of Ji Rushuang's parents.
He lost no time in offering courtesy: "The son-in-law came this time, prepared some light gifts, and asked the father-in-law to smile." ”
What kind of son-in-law and father-in-law, Ji Rushuang's father Ji Qin really didn't understand it, but Bo Li understood it.
It seems that this young man is quite polite, and he knows how to bring gifts.
To be honest, he was really a little curious about the gift given by Zhao Hao.
He's not the kind of person who beats around the bush and likes to do superficial things, so since he's curious, let's take a look.
He got up with great interest and said, "Well, when someone else sends something, I may have to think about it, you send it, of course I have to laugh at it, let's go, go and see." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhao Hao and strode towards the courtyard outside, and Ji Rushuang's brother Ji Chengna couldn't wait to follow.
Seeing this, Ji Rushuang's mother couldn't help but glance at the father and son, and then pulled Ji Rushuang and said: "Alas, your father and your brother are just like children who don't grow up, let's go, let's go over and watch a little, don't let them make jokes." ”
Although the gifts that Zhao Hao prepared for Ji Rushuang's parents were not as good as those for the Great Elder of Nanhua, the quantity was not bad at all.
At this time, twenty guards had already pulled the gifts into the courtyard, and they were waiting there in a neat row.
He walked over directly and introduced them one by one: "This is 10,000 catties of beef and mutton jerky, this is 5,000 catties of foreign beast jerky, this is 2,000 catties of beef jerky, these are mare's milk wine, sheepskin, pottery, ironware, all produced by our Haotian Department, and these twenty horses?" All tamed? You can carry people to gallop, and it's no problem to drive five or six hundred miles a day. ”
Did he introduce it here? Ji Qin's father and son were stunned.
Such a big gift? It really surprised them.
Beef and mutton, on 10,000 catties to send? It's already a bit of an exaggeration.
Alien beast meat, one gift is 5,000 catties? It's already a little scary.
Kui Niu, that's close to the existence of a divine beast? The meat of this thing can be sent, which is already a bit beyond the expectations of Ji Qin's father and son.
What amazed them even more was the tamed horses.
This year, this kind of thing? It's really rare, no.
Tame a strange beast or a beast as a mount? That's the ability of the legendary master, and ordinary people can't be tamed at all.
And wild horses are beasts, ordinary people don't even think about taming them, because they are too fast? If you want to be tamed, you have to catch up.
People in general? Who has a brain twitch to chase wild horses!
Ji Qin was stunned for a while, and then said excitedly: "I heard that you came here on a horse?" Is it true? ”
Zhao Hao nodded without hesitation: "Of course it's true." ”
Ji Qin asked again: "Is this thing really tamed?" ”
Zhao Hao still nodded without hesitation: "These horses? Tame a long time ago? You see? Aren't they standing here obediently right now? ”
Ji Qin continued to ask, "If we ride up, won't they spill?" ”
Zhao Hao nodded again and again: "No problem, you can ride as you like." ”
So what are you waiting for?
Ji Qin couldn't help but rub his hands and said, "Or, now, you can teach me, how to ride?" ”
Faint to death, is it so anxious?
You know, twenty horses are carrying things.
Zhao Hao saw the eager appearance of Ji Qin's father and son, and could only reluctantly order to the guards: "Pick the three best horses and unload the things they carry." ”
He had planned to give these horses and the things with the horses to Ji Rushuang's parents, so he didn't let the horses take off the things, after all, he didn't know where Ji Rushuang's parents wanted to put the things, and it was very troublesome to unload and tie them up.
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly picked out the three strongest horses and unloaded the baskets on both sides of the horses.
Fortunately, these horses were meant to be ridden, so the bridles, saddles, stirrups, etc. were already ready, so there was no need to delay them to install them.
Zhao Hao walked directly to a horse, raised his foot and stepped into the stirrup, turned over on the horse, and taught: "Before getting on the horse, you have to step one foot into the stirrup to borrow strength, and after turning over the horse's back, the other foot also has to step into the other stirrup, as if stepping on the ground, stepping on it, so that the horse does not have to worry about falling off when galloping." “
When Ji Qin's father and son heard this, they clumsily stepped on the stirrups and turned on the horse's back.
This is not very difficult, basically, as long as the limbs are sound and the body is normal, you can do it.
What's next?
Ji Qin's father and son both looked at Zhao Hao with blank eyes.
Zhao Hao was not verbose, and directly grabbed the reins and taught: "This is called the reins, which are used to control the direction, you see, if you pull the reins to the left, the horse will turn to the left, and if you pull the reins to the right, the horse will turn again." ”
The reason why he is so direct is because Ji Qin's father and son are both masters with more than 10,000 catties, and their physical fitness must be quite good, even if it is the first time to ride a horse, they should not fall down.
Sure enough, Ji Qin's father and son followed his example, and when they used the reins to control the horse to turn left and right, they all sat firmly on the horse's back, and there was no problem at all.
The next thing is to ride away.
Zhao Hao directly pulled the reins and asked the horse to turn to the direction of the courtyard gate, and then drove the horse to slowly pace out, while teaching: "If you want the horse to go forward or run forward, you must make corresponding movements to let them know what you mean." For example, if you want them to pace slowly, you just need to gently clip the horse's belly with your legs. ”
Ji Qin's father and son followed his example, turned the horse's head, and tried it with their legs between the horse's belly, and sure enough, the horse they sat on also began to slowly pace out.
These two fathers and sons, it's really worrying, people are here to be guests, and their butts haven't been heated yet, so you let the family teach you to ride a horse, and you also ride out!
Seeing this, Ji Rushuang's mother raised her hand and wanted to call the father and son back, but Ji Rushuang took her hand and shook her head, signaling her to leave it alone.
The feeling of riding a horse, anyone who has experienced it knows that ordinary people will be addicted.
Ji Rushuang has been riding horses for so long, and she naturally knows that she likes to ride horses a little, not to mention her father and her brother.
This father and son, that is the temperament of children, such a fun thing as horseback riding, if you don't let them go, can they follow?
Zhao Hao can't help it, of course he knows that riding a horse is addictive, especially for men, that kind of feeling of riding a horse and galloping, these days, there are few men who don't yearn for it.
This Ji Qin father and son are probably even worse than ordinary men, one is a father-in-law, and the other is an uncle, can he not take others to experience the thrill of riding a horse.
He could only take Ji Qin's father and son all the way to drive the mount slowly out of Xiqin Fort, and then, he took them to slowly increase the speed of the horse, starting from jogging to gradually adapt.
On this morning, Ji Qin's father and son were very happy, the feeling of riding a horse was really not ordinary, especially when the horse was galloping, the burst of blood rushed up, which was simply fluttering.
This gift is really good, after half a day, Ji Qin's father and son have already treated Zhao Hao as a family member, and they are not seen at all.
