Chapter 212: Job Search (6)
Two days later, Jiang Yun's order came as scheduled, and he was reappointed to the post of the Yamen of the Five Armies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After receiving the order, Jiang Yun couldn't cry or laugh. In his opinion, this Xu Chengsi is also a little cute, stupid. He didn't think he could humiliate himself with such a thing, did he? Perhaps for any other official, being a groom was indeed a humiliation, but not for Jiang Yun. When he joined the army, he fed pigs, planted the land, picked up dung, and rolled in the mud. Dirty work and tiring work are all floating clouds, and he boiled it out in such days, otherwise how could he be regarded as a qualified socialist successor?
Isn't it just raising a horse? What a big deal. Sun Wukong has been Bi Ma Wen, Jiang Yun naturally will not take this kind of trivial matter to heart, there is no place to stuff it, he is holding back the bad in his heart, and he is wondering whether to follow the example of the Monkey King and feed the few love horses of Wei Guogong into love pigs. After receiving the order, Jiang Yun rushed to the Guogong Mansion.
He was received by a steward surnamed Wan, who was not young in grade and looked like he was in his sixties. It should have been in the Guogong Mansion for most of his life, and his status is quite high, on the way to the stable, no matter who it is, he has to nod his head when he sees him, and respectfully shout "All things are good." ”
The old man was quite kind and talkative, and he talked and laughed with Jiang Yun along the way, and after taking him to the horse circle, he ordered with a serious face: "Little Jiang, these are the foals of Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo has been fighting on the battlefield with the army since he was a child, and he has no hobbies in his life, but he loves horses." Most of these are gifts from friends in the officialdom, and as a collection, you don't have to bother too much, just raise them in the normal way. But the rightmost horse must not be negligent, this horse single name a strong word, the horse as its name, extremely violent, is born from the mount of the grandfather of the country, its grandfather had saved the life of the grandfather of the country, so he loves this horse the most, if there is a bad pool, your life is difficult to protect. ”
"Thank you for your trouble, the lower officials know." Jiang Yun replied casually, instinctively looking at the last fence of the horse circle, and with just this glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
This horse, named "Lie", was two or three laps taller than the rest of the horses, with a wide back and long legs. It was obviously just a livestock, but it seemed to feel Jiang Yun's gaze, and under its slightly drooping eyelids, there was a smell of contempt.
Interesting! Jiang Yun walked straight towards "Lie".
"Xiao Jiang, you can be careful, don't touch him if it's okay." Seeing that Jiang Yun was a little close, Steward Wan hurriedly reminded him: "In the entire Guogong Mansion, only the old man can get close to it, but he can't ride it yet." As for the others, even if it is the little grandfather, once it is within a foot of it, it will cause its uneasiness, and then be attacked by it, you be careful. ”
"It's okay." Jiang Yun walked into the stable and stopped at a distance of one zhang from Lie, and he could feel that Lie's gaze had moved to him at this moment. Jiang Yun stood for about ten seconds, suddenly raised his leg and moved forward half a step, with a loud snort, Jiang Yun immediately retreated, and said with a smile: "It's true, a distance of one zhang is its cordon." ”
"You know, you've had horses before, right?"
"Well, I understand that."
"That's okay, you can watch here, feed when you need to feed, let it go. There is an iron door directly behind the stable, unlocked, and there is a small pasture behind it, which the grandfather of the country specially found someone to pave, which is not big, but it is enough for the horses to take a walk. You can watch it yourself, but remember, if a horse gets sick, come to me quickly, and I'll go to the doctor. ”
"Okay, I see, you can get busy."
After sending away the steward, Jiang Yun returned to the stable and looked at Lie carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, such a divine horse, he really couldn't bear to feed it into a pig... Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses, the same rabbit head horse, the same sweat and blood horse, brother simply do a good deed and feed a red rabbit out, how much more accomplished?
Just thinking about it, Jiang Yun began to think about how to do it.
The first step is to familiarize it with its existence. This familiarity is not to let it know that there is a person named Jiang Yun, but to get used to having him around anytime and anywhere. In order to achieve this goal, Jiang Yun did not leave the stable for three consecutive days, except for feeding the horses regularly, Jiang Yun simply stood guard outside the fence the rest of the time, watching it motionlessly.
Jiang Yun's abnormal performance attracted some attention, and the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion gradually knew that there was a strange groom in the mansion, who didn't do anything all day, so he loved and stared at Lie with big eyes, fighting temper, and not showing up. As more and more people knew, it wasn't long before the news finally reached the ears of Xu Jiye, the Duke of Wei.
Xu Jiye didn't care about other things, but when he heard that someone was competing with his baby foal, he couldn't be patient and curious, so he changed into civilian clothes and went to the stable alone to see the excitement. When he hurried there, he happened to catch up with Jiang Yun's first step to complete the stage, and he didn't see the legendary scene, only to see Jiang Yun holding a slender knife, huddled alone in the corner of the stable, not knowing what he was busy with.
"What do you do, young man?"
Jiang Yun stopped what he was doing and looked up, and in front of him stood a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, looking half-old and ageless, looking at him curiously. "Uncle, who are you?"
"Uncle?" Xu Jiye laughed and said, "You don't know me? ”
Seeing that Jiang Yun shook his head, he continued: "If you don't know, you don't know, it's okay." Tell me, what do you do? ”
Jiang Yun waved the bamboo pole and knife in his hand. "Do the flute."
"Aren't you a groom? It's not a cow herder, what are you doing with flute? ”
"Horseback riding." Jiang Yun pointed to Lie next door and said, "That's it." ”
"Yo, that horse is not easy to ride. As far as the old man knows, no one can ride him yet. ”
"Uncle, do you want to ride too?"
"Hmm." Xu Jiye nodded. He does want to ride, if he is ten years younger, he can't really compete with Lie, maybe he can submit it, but now that he is older, he can't do it, and there are some risks in being strong, and when people are old, they don't have the hard work of young people, and now they can only think about it.
"Then you wait, when I finish taming it, I will come back and ask you to ride."
"Look, you don't look like a groom."
"Well, I'm an official."
"Why did the officials come to raise horses?"
"The little grandfather transferred me."
"Oh!" Xu Jiye's eyes froze, he glanced at Jiang Yun deeply and said, "Then you are busy, the old man will wait and see." ”
With the completion of the flute in his hand, Jiang Yun's second step plan was successfully carried out. In the next two days, there will be bursts of flute sounds in the stable in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion almost non-stop, Jiang Yunhui does not have many musical instruments, the only one he has learned is the highest Xiao Ling, plus there is no player or anything like that, so it can only be operated manually, and it is blown to Lie Ting non-stop.
Playing the piano to a cow is an idiom that everyone knows, how can a stupid cow understand the sound of a human playing the piano? However, a large number of studies in later generations have proved that music developed from sound is effective for most animals.
Cows may not understand the meaning of human language attached to music, but the rhythm is calm, and the leisurely music can relax their mood and reduce the impetuous restlessness in their character. The same is true for horses, Jiang Yun is intending to gradually reduce Lie's overly high vigilance with the sound of the flute.
The result was gratifying, and in just two days, he was able to walk within half a foot of the fierce distance.
Jiang Yun's last step was to make Lie completely lose his vigilance against him. What could be more reassuring in this world than yourself? He didn't have much patience and Lie slowly cultivated his feelings, to the point where they didn't distinguish between each other. Then the most direct and easiest way is to apply horse manure.
Horses have an extremely keen sense of smell, even more than that of dogs, and smell is one of their most important senses. When listening to the sound of the peaceful flute, the whole body relaxes, and I see a person I am familiar with and used to, sniffing the other party and exuding the same smell as myself. In this case, it is unlikely that there will be hostility.
Jiang Yun succeeded, although his whole body was dirty and he couldn't see anyone, but he was indeed able to touch the fierce horse in front of him at will in just one week, full of a sense of accomplishment, and how comfortable he was. Next, it's time for a test ride.
Jiang Yun led Lie to the pasture, took a deep breath, pulled the reins of the horse, and turned over on the horse with one foot in the stirrups. At the moment of riding on Lie, Jiang Yun obviously felt that the back of the horse under him stiffened slightly, Lie seemed to be extremely unaccustomed to carrying a person on his back, it snorted twice, and paced back and forth uneasily. Jiang Yun didn't rush to drive it away, but bent down, hugged the horse's neck with one hand, and gently patted Lie's chest with the other, and after it was completely relaxed, Jiang Yun immediately turned over and dismounted.
He led Lie to walk a few steps, according to the method of Fang Cai, to get on the horse again, back and forth more than a dozen times, after feeling that Lie was completely accustomed to the camel, then gently clamped the horse's belly, Lie slowly walked out a few steps, officially announced that Jiang Yun's hard work these days was not in vain, and he successfully rode on.
One step closer to the goal. (To be continued.) )
