Chapter 58: Qin Qiong came to deliver the reward
Horse, that is a symbol of strength and beauty, loyalty, justice! The ancients also regarded the horse as a dragon walking on the ground, so we often use the "dragon horse spirit" as a metaphor.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for ordinary people to think of owning a good horse, an ordinary horse in the Tang Dynasty was like a car of about 100,000, and a good horse was the level of a million or even tens of millions of luxury cars.
The jujube red horse that Qin Qiong sent before was given by His Majesty Li Er, and he was in the prime of life in the years of the horse, and the good horse in the Western Regions was worth thousands of dollars, and the horse sent by Li Er was naturally good, comparable to the current Ferrari!
Although the horse that Cheng Chumo picked out for Wang Xingxin at home was not as good as Qin Qiong's, it was also a good horse! The point is that this horse is a relatively docile mare! It is very suitable for people like Wang Xingxin who have never ridden a horse to ride and practice.
With the help of Cheng Chumo, Wang Xingxin carefully climbed on the horse's back and sat firmly, and then carefully pinched the horse's belly with his foot, and shook the reins gently, making Cheng Chumo look very anxious.
If Wang Xingxin learns to ride a horse and gallop within three days, he will be beaten by his father with forty military sticks! It was impossible to say that it would take more than 20 days to recover from lying on his stomach, thinking about his buttocks, Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth and whipped on the mare that Wang Xingxin was riding.
After suffering from the pain, the mare suddenly ran forward with Wang Xingxin, so frightened that Wang Xingxin's legs were clamped, and he held the horse's neck with both hands and didn't lose it, and shouted for help in his mouth. After a period of wild running, Cheng Chumo, who caught up, carefully helped down Wang Xingxin, who was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Wang Xingxin, who trembled his legs after landing on the ground, stepped on the solid earth and said in a trembling voice: "Ugly cow, let's not ride a horse, my brother is viscount can take a carriage!" Besides, brother doesn't have to go to the army to fight anymore, why bother to learn to ride a horse! β
"Brother Mingshen! No, no! My father said that the three-day religion will not be followed, you will ride a horse and gallop, and you will definitely beat my brother, forty military sticks! You're going to take this stick one by one, that's what it tastes like..."
As soon as he heard the military stick Wang Xingxin, he couldn't help touching his buttocks, and he was scared of being beaten!
Looking at Cheng Chumo's pitiful appearance, Wang Xingxin couldn't bear to say: "Ugly cow, everything must be done step by step, or do you want to learn to ride a donkey first?" You find a donkey for my brother to practice first."
"Brother Mingshen, are you sure you want to ride a donkey? Ha ha... If this is to let the Tang nobles know that the children of the Lantian County Army do not ride horses, but ride donkeys, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth! Then our brothers were spanked by my dad and bloomed! β
"Ugly cow, you kid know very well, that Zhang Guo Lao also rides a donkey or rides a donkey upside down! People are immortals! β
"Zhang Guolao? What kind of immortal? Haven't heard of it!"
Just wanted to tell Cheng Chumo the story of the eight immortals, Heiwa and Da Niu came over on a horse, although they didn't dare to ride a lot, but they were a hundred times stronger than Wang Xingxin!
Heiwa, who jumped off the horse very neatly, saw Wang Xingxin's trembling legs and said, "Brother Xin, it's really dripping!" I haven't learned to ride a horse for a long time, but I've learned to do it! Tomorrow you will be able to ride a horse and run fast! β
"Heiwa, it's good to show off when you learn to ride a horse, this brother Ma is thinking about not riding, it's better to ride a donkey! This immortal can ride a donkey upside down, if Brother Ruo also learns that fairy to ride a donkey, it must be a good story in the Tang Dynasty! β
"No, Brother Mingshen! For the ass of our brothers, you also have to learn to beat horses and gallop in three days! Think of that baton! β
Just as Wang Xingxin was struggling with whether to ride a horse or a donkey, Liu Lao Er came over leisurely. Without saying a word, he took out a small handful of chicken feathers and gestured at Wang Xingxin, and then walked to the field to see the wheat seedlings that had returned to green and grown tall.
Wang Xingxin suddenly itched after seeing the chicken feathers that Liu Lao was holding in the second-hand, and hurriedly said to Cheng Chumo: "Ugly cow, brother should continue to practice horseback riding, but let's slow down, you kid can't suddenly give a horsewhip, so he almost didn't scare my brother to death." β
Under the threat of chicken feathers and military sticks, Wang Xingxin had the courage to start learning to ride a horse seriously, and the ancients were right: there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts. As long as you use your heart to learn to ride a horse, it is very simple, but if the ancients knew that Wang Xingxin was under the deterrence of chicken feathers and military sticks, they would definitely add another sentence: If you can't learn, the chicken feathers will be scratched, and the military sticks will be beaten!
The brothers rode slowly towards the Viscount's Mansion, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Viscount's Mansion, they saw Qin Qiong with some guards and a few carts waiting in front of the door.
Wang Xingxin hurriedly turned over and dismounted, which was very neat. After giving Qin Qiong a salute, he asked Heiwa to ride a horse to call Liu Laoer.
took Qin Qiong into the main hall, and after Qin Qiong sat upright, Wang Xingxin said, "Uncle Qin, how did you remember to come to see the kid." β
After speaking, he personally brewed a cup of wild honey for Qin Qiong that he and Heiwa had scooped out.
"Uncle Qin hurry up and drink some while it's hot, this is the wild honey that the kid and the black baby made is quite good for the body! Give Uncle Liu some, I originally wanted to send it to you, just when you came, try it first! Sweet drops are very! β
Qin Qiong took a sip of the brewed honey tea and felt good, mainly because she was satisfied with the filial piety of Wang Xingxin.
"This time Uncle is looking for you, and Your Majesty is very happy with the movable type printing you offered! But this reward was suppressed by the old man. After speaking, he took another sip of honey water.
"Uncle Qin is thinking about the kid wholeheartedly, since he pressed the kid's reward, there must be a reason to suppress it!"
"That's the Marquis, you kid don't have any ideas?"
"Uncle Qin, if the kid really wants this marquis, he will really become a monkey in three days at most!"
"Oh, so tell me why?"
"Two words, the family!"
Qin Qiong laughed when he heard the son of the family brushing his beard: "Ming Shen is really smart!" The old man is worried about it! β
"Uncle, presumably Your Majesty has something to add!"
"You kid is really awake, did you see the big car outside? There were 100 catties of gold and 500 catties of silk given to you by His Majesty, and His Majesty heard that you were delicious and had the skill of changing teeth, and he also gave you two loads of spices! β
"Uncle Cheng, do you know?"
"I don't know, how? What does it have to do with your Uncle Cheng? β
As soon as Wang Xingxin heard about the hundred catties of gold, as well as the five hundred horses of silk that could also be used as currency, and Cheng Yanjin, the old man, didn't know about it, he didn't care about answering Qin Qiong's words, so he hurriedly called those generals and shouted at them to divide the gold silk cloth into three parts and hide it tightly.
This move made Qin Qiong puzzled, and just as she was about to ask a question, Liu Lao Er came.
After Wang Xingxin hid the belongings given by Li Er, when he came to the main hall, he saw Liu Lao Er and Qin Qiong drinking honey water and laughing. Qin Qiong saw him coming: "Why did you kid just do that?" β
Wang Xingxin finished talking about how Cheng Biting Jin kept his money on behalf of him with a crying voice. Liu Lao Er and Qin Qiong smiled at each other and said, "Zhijie is still in Wagang!" It hasn't changed at all, it's not Cheng Biting Gold if it's cheap! β
"Big brother is right, Zhijie's measures are a bit excessive, but it's okay, this kid in the province is too extravagant!"
"Uncle Qin, look at the huge viscount mansion of the boy, there is no one under him, and everything is the help of uncles and brothers in the village. Also, you see that the size of the kid is also a viscount, and he doesn't even have a maid, so it's a big deal! If Uncle Cheng hadn't kept the boy's money, he would have gone to buy some maids and maids, so that he could serve my uncle! β
"Bastard boy, you want to be a girl! The old man still uses others to serve? β
"Uncle, this is the Viscount's Mansion, even if you don't need anyone to serve this faΓ§ade, you still have to drop! Fortunately, the people who have come recently are uncles and them, if others come to us, do you say it's a bit embarrassing! β
"Big brother, what Ming Shen said this kid is right! It is true that this viscount's mansion is also very crowded, and the mansion given by His Majesty in Chang'an City is still the two palace maids given by His Majesty who are helped by Zhijie to take care of it. This Lantian County Viscount's Mansion must at least have a housekeeper and some rough subordinates, not to mention that this kid still has 800 acres of Yongye field and 300 real food. You need someone to take care of it! β
"Uncle Bao said that it is very much, but you kid remember to the old man that you must be kind to your subordinates!"
"Uncle, uncle, do you think the kid is that person?"
"Ming Shen doesn't have to go to Yashi, tomorrow the old man will ask someone to send you some subordinates, and Qin San's son Qin Yong will be your housekeeper!"
Wang Xingxin looked at Qin Qiong with great gratitude, and said a little choked: "Everything is annoying Uncle Qin, how can the kid be virtuous!" β
"How can he be? If you don't make a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, you can say that rebellious thing for my eldest brother that day! But when it comes to this, your majesty can't cry or laugh when he reads your recital today, and I don't blame you! Look at what you kid is doing! His Majesty also rejected Wei Zheng's suggestion not to let you go to school, you have to understand the truth of this! These rewards are also the reason why you will give your majesty this new style of furniture! β
After that, he pointed to the rocking chair in the hall and said: "This rocking chair old man will take it away and give it to Your Majesty in a while, although this thing is good, but it is useless for you young people to ask for it!" If you have time, ask Qin San's son Qin Yong for martial arts! The bones of the body are strong! β
"Uncle and the boy will exercise, but this rocking chair will be built for Your Majesty, this is what Brother Gongzi spent a night building for the boy."
"That's it, ugly cow, don't stand, go and tell the bar, if you build a rocking chair for this kid again, the old man will beat him with a military stick!"
Wang Xingxin immediately pursed his lips when he heard Qin Qiong's arrangement. Qin Qiong was satisfied and took the wild honey that Wang Xingxin got and the rocking chair and left!
Liu Lao Er looked at Wang Xingxin a little unhappy and said, "Your Uncle Qin is all good for your kid!" It's not a happy drop! β
"Uncle, the kid won't blame Uncle Qin, it's just that he is a little reluctant to practice martial arts!"
"Humph! The old man's martial arts have not been left behind! You just wait, and then take the chicken feathers. β
Wang Xingxin was so frightened when he saw that the chicken feathers were taken out: "Uncle, look, Your Majesty has rewarded so much property, why don't you always preside over the whole village according to the head of each person, five horses of silk and ten taels of gold, what do you think?" β
"It's better for you kid to divide it yourself! This old man doesn't want it! β
With that, he took out the chicken feathers again, and walked straight out of the main hall to his small courtyard in the Viscount's Mansion.
