thirty-one

In the evening, the rain gradually lightened and finally stopped. An Qiyu copied the formulas and skills that she had just given herself, one is to facilitate her own recitation, and the other is to practice her calligraphy again, Lin Dingkuo said that it is rare to write with a brush now, and she must be able to write with a pen.

An Qiyu has never used a fountain pen, so she took the opportunity to try it, and felt that this fountain pen was better than a brush.

"Your progress is really fast, is it easy to practice pen writing?"

"It's fast, but it's not as good as the calligraphy."

"I guess tomorrow when the weather is fine, I can go horseback riding, and I won't talk about foreign languages, what should I do? Our young lady spoke very well in foreign language. I didn't understand it, but I thought it was as smooth as she told us. ”

"That's not easy to learn, let alone ten days, even ten months may not be possible, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"I always thought that Dashuai should be more anxious than me."

An Qiyu responded to Lin Dingkuo with a smile, and then lowered his head to study the chess game, and played a game with himself.

Lin Dingkuo saw that she didn't need herself, a little lost, but he didn't want to disturb her, so he sat next to him and read his book.

In the entire study, the two of them didn't have any extra words, they were busy with their own, and when Ah Xiang came in to deliver water, he watched the two get along with each other, and thought it was a quarrel. But she didn't dare to say more, so she silently withdrew.

After listening to the door for a long time, An Qiyu asked Lin Dingkuo how to play chess, and then he was relieved.

I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time, Lin Dingkuo, accompanied by An Qiyu, can read books so leisurely, focus on herself, and she is also focused.

In the flickering candle flame, An Qiyu's face was bright and dark, becoming more and more hazy and beautiful, Lin Dingkuo watched her meditate on the chess game, but it was really cute.

Kong Yuan said that why didn't he marry Xu Daiwei, he thought that now he had a reason to explain, he always seemed to be unable to settle down when he seemed to be with Xu Daiwei, Xu Daiwei had too many tricks, and he was tired of coping with it.

was already busy with government affairs, and Xu Daiwei came to toss again, of course he felt annoyed.

"Okay, it's late, go to sleep."

Lin Dingkuo looked at the pocket watch, it was already past ten o'clock, she stayed up late yesterday, and she couldn't stay up anymore today.

"Okay, let's go first."

An Qiyu was obviously coping, so she said this casually, and then looked at her chess game, and re-shuffled the chess pieces that had just been arranged, it seems that she should want to play another game.

Lin Dingkuo simply did it himself, unceremoniously put away the chessboard and chess pieces, and then looked at An Qiyu with a serious face: "Sleep." ”

An Qiyu looked at Lin Dingkuo's appearance, so she had to obediently wash up and lie on the bed, but her eyes were looking at the roof like this, Lin Dingkuo was lying next to her, and she didn't react.

"Are you stupid playing chess?" Lin Dingkuo asked her.

"It's just that there are some places that I can't think clearly, and I still need to think about it." An Qiyu didn't change his movements when he replied, and he didn't even blink his eyelids.

Lin Dingkuo was really helpless, and sighed deeply, how could this An Qiyu be like a demon, he was too serious, it was really a little terrifying.

"No, I'm going to have to look at the game again." An Qiyu sat up suddenly, and got out of bed from Lin Dingkuo's side with a turnover.

"Hey......" Lin Dingkuo stretched out his hand to pull her, but he didn't have time.

"It's going to be good right away, I can't sleep until I finish my research. Let's go to sleep first! ”

An Qiyu got out of bed with his shoes on, and returned to the study, Lin Dingkuo retracted the hand that did not catch An Qiyu, and suddenly his heart was so empty......

"Did you stay up all night last night?" When Lin Dingkuo saw An Qiyu in the morning, she had already freshened up and changed into riding clothes.

"No, it's only an hour, I'm so smart, I can learn it, hehe." An Qiyu was triumphant, "If you are free, Dashuai can also play with me, maybe I can win too." ”

"Okay, let's kill a game when we have time." Lin Dingkuo nodded. But last night, An Qiyu didn't go back to her room to sleep, she was hiding from herself......

The sky is clear, cloudless, the sun is just shining but not dazzling, it is this sun that is not loved in the summer, but An Qiyu's current situation, she can't hope for it to rain again.

Seeing Lin Dingkuo and Kong Yuan each pulling a good horse, An Qiyu only felt that this scenery was too beautiful, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

One is burly, handsome and straight, dressed in a horseback riding costume like a god descending from the earth, the other is a fairy with a fairy wind and bones, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, or a robe with wide sleeves like an immortal descending into the world.

The two horses, one brown and one black, were shiny fur, and even those who did not know horses could tell at a glance that they were absolutely good horses.

"This is a chestnut Jiao, it's more docile, you can ride it!" Lin Dingkuo stretched out his hand to An Qiyu, "I'll help you get on the horse." ”

"Okay." An Qiyu bit her lip, and stepped on the stirrup on the horse's back with a ruthless heart.

Although it was a good horse, it was the first time to ride a horse, and I was still a little scared, and I only felt a little chill in my back.

"Hold on to the reins, you must not let go. Keep that in mind! ”

originally thought that Lin Dingkuo would explain like this, even if it was over, but he didn't expect that he would also fly on the horse and sit on the back of the horse with her.

An Qiyu was circled by Lin Dingkuo in the middle of his arm, although she was too close and felt uncomfortable, but if she really made a choice, she was still willing to be circled by Lin Dingkuo like this.

This is more down-to-earth, more stable, and more reassuring.

"I'll take you to feel it first, ride a horse and slip around twice, and walk slowly, you listen to what I tell you. Remember the essentials! ”

"Hmm."

An Qiyu didn't dare to gasp more, and his two hands clutched the reins tightly, until his palms were numb and his nails were in the flesh.

"Scared, huh?" Of course, Lin Dingkuo could sense An Qiyu's whole person's nervousness and apprehension.

"Dashuai is much better by my side, if I am afraid I will not be able to." An Qiyu was very sincere when she said this, and also expressed her gratitude to Lin Dingkuo.

"Try it yourself later, and be brave when I'm not around." Lin Dingkuo straightened up when he talked to An Qiyu, and he didn't want her to misinterpret herself, if she didn't like herself, she should stop in moderation.

After circling the racecourse twice, Lin Dingkuo dismounted first, and then led the chestnut Jiao around the racecourse.

"Ouch, tsk, tsk, it's amazing, Lin Dashuai personally led the horse and fell off, and Mrs. Sister-in-law is really blessed. Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals! ”

"If you don't speak, no one will sell you like a dumb person."

An Qiyu was hugged off the horse by Lin Dingkuo, Kong Yuan was so joking, his face was crimson, he was embarrassed to say anything, Lin Dingkuo replied that Kong Yuan never had to be polite.

"I'll do it myself, give it a try." An Qiyu grabbed the saddle handle, kicked on the stirrup, and got on the back of the chestnut Jiao as soon as his body was light, Lin Dingkuo handed the reins to An Qiyu's hand, and carefully told him to remember to hold on.

An Qiyu was bold at this time, urged the horse to start, and walked slowly along the horse road.

Li Jiao is indeed docile, and his walk is also very smooth, An Qiyu looked at the horse's head with straight eyes, bit his lower lip, barely let himself breathe smoothly, and calm down.

Lin Dingkuo looked at her from afar, only to feel that he was even more nervous than her, and looked at him from aside, and his expression of laughter was about to suffocate himself.

"Sit up straight and don't turn crookedly." Lin Dingkuo saw that An Qiyu was quietly a little wrong, so he immediately shouted at her

After An Qiyu heard this, he hurriedly straightened his posture, and the whip in Lin Dingkuo's hand was already sweating.

Finally this circle is over, An Qiyu returned to Lin Dingkuo, Lin Dingkuo just wanted to reach out to hug her, but she said that she dismounted.

"Be careful not to walk behind the horse, watch out for it kicking you." Lin Dingkuo still did not forget to ask An to pray for rain.

"What does Mrs. Sister-in-law think?" Kong Yuan also stepped forward to ask.

An Qiyu's face was red from the sun at this time, wiped the sweat on his forehead, calmed his wheezing and mood, and replied: "It's okay, I'm still a little scared, but I think I can persevere, otherwise I want to do it again, practice makes perfect."

"Go ahead, be careful." Lin Dingkuo was relieved to see An Qiyu return safely.

Seeing that she got on the horse again, the body shape adjustment was much stronger than last time, Lin Dingkuo finally felt that he could settle down, An Qiyu naturally gradually became bolder, and tried to shake the reins to make Li Jiao move faster.

These two laps have come down, and it is indeed a lot of progress.

An Qiyu felt a lot more relaxed, she was riding on the horse, the wind was blowing by her side, and she also felt much more refreshed and cool.

"I think I'll be able to run a few laps this morning." Kong Yuan looked at An Qiyu in the distance, and finally lost the panic and hecticism at the beginning, so he also praised it without reservation, "You can meet such a smart and motivated woman, you have also picked up a treasure." ”

"Heh, thanks for the compliment." Lin Dingkuo was completely disdainful of Kongyuan's words, and how could he understand the contradiction in his heart.

Suddenly, they heard An Qiyu's exclamation, as well as the hissing of chestnut bananas, and the two of them followed the sound again, and found that the chestnut Jiao's front hooves were raised, constantly turning in circles, and all kinds of irritability.

"Hold on to the reins, don't panic!" Lin Dingkuo didn't even have time to ride the horse, so the whole person galloped straight out from under the pergola.

As soon as he stretched his hand, he raised his leg to cross three or four fences, and at the risk of being trampled by the chestnut Jiao, he grabbed its bridle with all his might, and shouted at it to stabilize the chestnut Jiao.

But it still kept raising its front hooves into the air, An Qiyu still couldn't pull the reins and was thrown to the ground hard, he couldn't control his center of gravity, and his legs hit the stake on the side of the road when he rolled.

Lin Dingkuo lost his bridle, turned around and hurriedly ran over and hugged An Qiyu.

Kong Yuan also followed, and saw that there was a two-meter-long, lotus-root-thick spotted snake on the ground, spitting out its core, and it was also eyeing the chestnut Jiao.

Li Jiao was frightened by this snake.
