Xiu Gu took the letter and looked at it, but the person mentioned above was a person named Zhang Shaoxian, this name was a little unfamiliar to Xiu Gu, so she didn't understand why this person pressed the goods to Beijing to make Ran Qiunian care so much.

"This person is the second-in-command in Qiubai's brother's caravan, which is equivalent to the existence of the big treasurer, and the flow of money in the caravan will pass through his hands. I have tested him by hiding my identity, this person has a honey-bellied sword, and he has long had a disagreement with Brother Qiubai. ”

Ran Qiunian saw that Xiu Gu didn't understand, so she deliberately explained two sentences. Finally, with a sigh, he leaned back on the cushion behind the carriage.

"You also know that Brother Qiubai is a good person, so my cautious sister can only help him keep an eye on it more."

"Miss is also a good intention, why bother to be presumptuous."

Xiu Gu put the letter away, and when she heard the words, she looked at Ran Qiunian with some disapproval.

Ran Qiunian was silent.

The carriage stopped at the Maple Forest Villa on the outskirts, which was a field under the name of General Wuwei's mansion. Behind Zhuangzi there are wild maple trees all over the mountains, and in autumn, the maple leaves turn red, and the whole mountain is a red glow, which is very beautiful.

It's a pity that this is not the right time, but if you can enjoy it in another month or two, you can enjoy such a beautiful view.

"But Miss Ran from General Gu's mansion has arrived?"

Just as Ran Qiunian stopped to look at the cyan mountain in the distance, a cool voice suddenly came from behind her, she paused, and turned to look.

A neat girl in simple dress waved at her and walked forward. When he came to the front, Ran Qiunian found that this person was half a head taller than himself, with narrow sleeves and narrow trousers, except for a horsewhip pinned to his waist, there was no trace of burden on his body.

Ran Qiunian only felt that this girl made her eyes shine, she had been in the capital for so long, and it was the first time she had seen such a neatly dressed aristocratic lady, and she couldn't help but feel good.

"There was a slight delay on the way, I came late, please forgive me."

Seeing that Ran Qiunian did not deny it, the smile on his face deepened, and he reported to his family: "I am Wu Hongling from General Wuwei's Mansion, Miss Ran may not know me, but I am no stranger to Ran Qiunian." ”

Seeing Ran Qiunian looking at her with a puzzled expression, Wu Hongling explained, "I wonder if Miss Ran still remembers my mother?" You saw it at the tea party of the Qi State Mansion a few days ago, and after you came back, I was full of praise for you. ”

Hearing this Miss Wu mention that the lady respected her grandmother very much, and was full of praise for her, Ran Qiunian's mind suddenly came to mind that Mrs. who was particularly enthusiastic about herself on the day of the tea party.

It turns out that she is the wife of General Wuwei? In this way, it makes sense why the eldest lady of General Wuwei's mansion would post to herself and invite her to participate in such a gathering in a small circle.

"It turns out that Mrs. is General Wuwei's wife, thank you Mrs. for your love, but I don't dare to be."

Ran Qiunian smiled a little embarrassedly, and his vigilance against Wu Hongling was eliminated a lot.

"Our young ladies from martial arts families are different from those delicate young ladies from families, there are not so many rules, and there is no need to be too polite. My mother easily does not boast about people, and since she says hello, then you must be exceptional. ”

Wu Hongling waved his hand.

After saying this, she carefully looked at Ran Qiunian's dress, and opened her mouth with some hesitation.

"Miss Ran, you are wearing this today...... We're going to shoot in the woods in a moment. ”

Although Ran Qiunian thought of practicing riding and archery in the maple forest today, and did not wear those complicated and cumbersome skirts, the one on her body was obviously not suitable for horseback.

"I've got my riding clothes ready, and I'll go to the village and change into them in a moment."

Ran Qiunian hurriedly explained, she really didn't expect that this young lady in General Wuwei's mansion would really have such a true temperament, she didn't even do anything about the scene, and she went directly into the forest as soon as she came.

Hearing that Ran Qiunian had already prepared, Wu Hongling relieved herself, her friends were all from military generals' families, and they didn't like red tape the most.

Wu Hongling wanted Ran Qiunian to integrate into their circle, and those friends had long been very curious about Ran Qiunian.

After the two finished talking, Wu Hongling took Ran Qiunian to the village to change clothes first, and then took people to the horse farm behind.

"Hongling, you're late! I will punish you today for hunting more prey for us. ”

There were already a few girls waiting on the racecourse, all dressed neatly ridden, their hair was simply tied up, their faces were not powdered, but their complexions were ruddy and healthy, and they did not see the extravagant and lazy atmosphere that the nobles in Beijing had always had, which looked refreshing.

"I didn't mean to be late, but who did I bring you? This is the Miss Ran in General Gu's mansion, aren't you all clamoring to see each other? What's the matter, you still have to punish me now? ”

Wu Hongling pulled Ran Qiunian over with him, and said in a loud voice when he heard the words.

"It's really that Miss Ran, the one who made An Qiluo's girl deflated at the tea party."

When several young ladies on the racecourse heard this, they couldn't help but cast curious and admiring glances at Ran Qiunian, and several people stepped forward together and surrounded Ran Qiunian in the middle.

"It's really gratifying that you can make An Qiluo's stinky girl suffer. From now on, they will be their own people. ”

"I wonder how you ride and shoot? Tea art can be learned so well, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort, right? It's okay, it's not a shame to ride and ejaculate, we can teach you by hand! ”

"With your riding and archery skills, you can't even beat a stupid rabbit when you go back to our hunting, and you still want to teach others? Let's learn from me, I can even hit pheasants. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Hongling was worried that these friends would not get along with Ran Qiunian, but he didn't expect that the fight would be hot in a few words, and he, the host, would be forgotten in the back of his mind.

It was the first time Ran Qiunian had come into contact with such a scene, she had never met these people in her previous life, and the people she saw at the banquet were all like An Qiluo and the Duchess of Guo, and she was a little overwhelmed by these overly enthusiastic and frank kindnesses.

"Okay, okay, you all scared Miss Ran, this is the person I invited, naturally he followed me, don't fight, do you want to go into the mountain?"

Wu Hongling stepped forward to rescue Ran Qiunian, and everyone didn't say anything anymore when they heard it, they each chose a horse, took a bow and arrow, and went to the maple forest.

"Miss Ran, it's your first time here, they're all a little excited, it's not light or heavy, don't you mind."

Wu Hongling smiled and comforted Ran Qiunian, who was a little shocked, and Ran Qiunian shook his head:

"How so? I'm just a little surprised, my sisters are really good people to get along with. It's just that I didn't expect that even my sisters knew about the incident at the tea party. ”

"You mean the defeat of An Qiluo? The whole capital knows it. ”

Seeing that Ran Qiunian was a little surprised, Wu Hongling didn't plan to hide it from her.

"Don't look at An Qiluo's success at those banquets, in fact, she has offended many people, and my friends don't deal with her. On the occasion of An Qiluo's presence, a few of us will not go, and we will see her smug face. ”

Only then did Ran Qiunian understand why she had never seen these people on those occasions, and why these people were so friendly to her. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

"However, An Qiluo has always been eager to repay you, you have formed a bond with her, and I don't know how to deal with you, I will go to those banquets in the future, and pay more attention."

Wu Hongling took Ran Qiunian to pick a horse in the stable, and reminded her a few words by the way.

"Fortunately, I didn't stay in the capital for a long time, that time was an accident, and I didn't have the heart to go to such a banquet in the future."

Ran Qiunian didn't take this matter too seriously, after she returned to Splendid City, the emperor was far away, and An Qiluo couldn't deal with her even if she wanted to.

"If only you had a good idea." Wu Hongling and Ran Qiunian just met for the first time, and it was not easy to say too much, so they stopped there.

"How's this horse?"

Seeing Ran Qiunian stop in one place and not moving, there was some movement in his eyes.

Wu Hongling looked over and thought that Ran Qiunian had chosen this horse, so he pointed in this direction to a beautiful marish mare in the stable, nodded and agreed:

"This horse is the most docile of all kind. I don't know how well you know how to ride and shoot, but if you're a beginner, this horse is the perfect fit. ”

Ran Qiu heard this, although he didn't think that this big black horse seemed to be docile, but he thought that maybe it was "horses can't be good-looking", so he nodded and didn't ask any more.

"Then let's get the horses and go with us, don't make the sisters wait again."

"Okay, I'm going to ride my Cher over too, and we'll go there together."

After Wu Hongling finished speaking, he turned around and went to the stable on the other side and rode out one of his white horses.

Ran Qiunian watched her leave, then turned around and walked to the stable where the horse she fancied was, and stopped next to the maroon mare, the black horse was disdainful of Ran Qiunian's arrival, and snorted at her.

Ran Qiunian turned sideways to avoid it, although the horse looked very polite, but Ran Qiunian liked it more and more, she thought about what Wu Hongling said, and boldly let the black horse out of the stable.

"Miss, why don't you change horses? I don't think this horse is easy to handle. ”

Xiu Gu is not Ran Qiunian, she knows more about the temperament of horses, and she can see at a glance that although this big dark horse is a rare good horse, she has a rebellious temperament and is not easy to admit the master, and she is worried that Ran Qiunian will be hurt.

"I'll try."

Ran Qiunian's eyes were a little eager to try, she also realized at this moment that she probably had a disagreement with Wu Hongling, if this horse could be regarded as docile, then wouldn't the rest of the horses have to knock the stable to the top?

Seeing this, Xiu Gu stopped stopping it, but with her watching from the side, nothing would be a big problem.

Only then did Ran Qiunian reach out and grab the reins around the neck of the big black horse, the horse was quite spiritual, and he sensed Ran Qiunian's attempt to ride up, and immediately twisted his body to prevent Ran Qiunian from touching it.

"What a fierce horse."

Ran Qiunian tried a few times, but he couldn't get close to the big dark horse, so he had to give up reluctantly. Her riding skills were still not good enough to make this dark horse surrender willingly.

"So Miss Ran was talking about this horse before?"

Wu Hongling rode over on the white horse Xue'er, and when she saw the big black horse outside the stable, she immediately laughed.
