Qiao Niang never has a long memory, and she has just been punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for a few days, and she is restless again.

On this day, Cheng Yu was at home.

Cheng Yu lives in the Yi Green Residence in the West Cross Courtyard, in front of the courtyard is a forest of green bamboos, Qiao Niang pulled Jiao Niang into the Hanging Flower Gate, and heard the sound of martial arts practice behind the shadow wall.

"Cousin!" Qiao Niang poked her head out and called out prettyly.

Cheng Yu looked for prestige, smiled, put away his sword, and gave it to his entourage.

"Why are you here?" wipes the sweat from his head with a cloth towel.

"Why, I can't come? Not only did I come, but I brought someone with me. Qiao Niang jumped out from behind the shadow wall, and pulled the lady behind her to the front.

Jiao Niang glanced at her with disgust, and used her as a shield, and then saluted Cheng Yu, "Cousin Yu is good." ”

Cheng Yu's eyes were pleasantly surprised, and his earlobes were red, "Cousin Jiao, you are here too." I didn't know what to do, I couldn't think of what to do, I just stood there stupidly.

Qiao Niang said: "Come to you as a guest, your master has a big shelf, don't you invite someone to sit in?"

Cheng Yu was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly led to the hall, "Hurry up, please, Lingzhi, go to the tea, and use the dragon well before the rain that King Xiang rewarded a few days ago to brew." You could tell how happy he was when he heard the voice.

Qiao Niang giggled, led Jiao Niang in, and quipped: "Cousin is eccentric, usually when I come, you won't make such a good tea." ”

Cheng Yu was red all the way from the root of his ears to his face, but fortunately, he had just finished practicing martial arts, and he couldn't see anything unusual, "What's the matter, it's just that you don't usually like to drink." Unexpectedly, he looked at Jiao Niang, he hurriedly put it aside, only to feel that his heart was "thumping", and whispered to the people around him: "Persuade you to learn, go and get a basin of cold water." ”

I washed my face again, wiped it clean, and then entered the house.

Cheng Yu is not like an ordinary martial artist, black and burly, but the appearance of a noble son, wrapped around his body in a black suit, and his body looks thin but strong.

He has good eyebrows, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a furrow in the middle of his chin, which softens his sharp facial features.

Jiao Niang heard Qiao Niang say that the Cheng family was originally a general, but unfortunately his father died in a battle, and his mother heard the news and hanged herself, leaving him and the seven-year-old Cheng Shu, which is embarrassing.

He sat opposite Qiao Niang, but his eyes never left Jiao Niang, "Is there something wrong with the two cousins?"

"Can't you come if you're okay?" Qiao Niang stood up, looked east, touched west, there was a treasure knife on the desk, she took it down, flicked the blade, and made a crisp sound, like a foreign sound.

"Don't mess around. ”

Jiao Niang and Cheng Yu said in unison, glanced at each other, Cheng Yu stood up and put the knife back on the shelf, "This can't be moved, be careful of hurting yourself." His voice became clearer and gentler, and he treated Qiao Niang like a child.

Qiao Niang pursed her lips and went straight to the point, "Jiao Niang and I want to ride a horse, can you take us out?"

"This-" Cheng Yu was also embarrassed.

Qiao Niang grabbed his arm and shook it, "Good brother, I haven't been out for a few days, you just take us out to have fun, I promise not to cause trouble." He swore with three fingers.

Seeing Cheng Yu hesitating, he said something about Jiao Niang, "It doesn't matter if I don't go out, but think about it, Jiao Niang is trapped at home with me, how boring it is, you don't want her to be a guest and stay at home." ”

Jiao Niang opened her mouth and wanted to say that she should not embarrass her cousin, and besides, she didn't mind being idle at home, and she would never dare to ride a horse.

But when I saw Qiao Niang giving her a look, her blinking eyes were about to cramp, "Jiao Niang, do you also want to go out to play?"

Cheng Yu looked at her, and his voice was gentle as if he was afraid of scaring her, "Really?"

Jiao Niang looked at Qiao Niang's longing, finally nodded, and said urgently: "If it's inconvenient, it's okay." ”

I thought Cheng Yu would refuse, but I just listened to him smile lightly, "It's okay, I'm free anyway." ”

Jiao Niang was slightly surprised, raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that he was smiling in his eyes, and he was also looking at herself. But for a moment it seemed like a mistake, and she blinked, and he was already looking away.

The Hua family has their own horse farm, five miles outside the city, raising more than a dozen horses, and there are special people to raise them every day. When the people in the horse farm saw that the young master and girl of the Hua family had gone, they didn't dare to slack off, and selected a few of the best horses early.

Qiao Niang took a fancy to a horse's brown mane at a glance, jumped up and sat down, turned her head to look at the Jiao Niang who was standing far away, "Get on the horse." ”

Jiao Niang shook her head, she had never ridden a horse, so she didn't dare to get on, "I don't know how to ride a horse." Sneaking a glance at Cheng Yu, she had helped Qiao Niang trick him before.

Cheng Yu actually knew early on that it was Qiao Niang's ghost idea, "It turned out that you wanted to go crazy and use others as a pretense." ”

Qiao Niang stuck out her tongue, so as not to be scolded, and quickly ran away, "Hurry up and get on the horse, I'll take the first step." After saying that, he drove away.

Cheng Yu pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, and then went to the horse circle to pick out a foal that was not yet an adult and came back, "This horse has a docile personality, if you ride it, it won't hurt you." ”

The foal was snow-white, like a silver thread under the sun, first rubbed on Cheng Yu's body, and then lowered his head to graze, looking indeed docile and harmless.

But Jiao Niang was still worried, biting her lip, shaking her head, wanting to be brave and move forward, but she was too timid to step forward.

Suddenly, the horse shook its head, and a strange sound came out of its nose, so frightened that Jiao Niang thought it was going to kick someone, and hurriedly ran behind Cheng Yu and grabbed his clothes tightly.

Cheng Yu looked at the hands and felt as if the fingers had passed through the clothes and were imprinted on his skin, hot and hot. He steadied his mind and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just sneezing." ”

Jiao Niang suddenly let go of her hand. Her release made Cheng Yu feel lost.

"You try to ride it, and it's obedient. Cheng Yu continued to encourage Jiao Niang, "In this way, you ride on, and I will lead the horse for you." ”

Jiao Niang nodded, plucked up her courage, stepped on the horse, and rode up.

It was her first time riding a horse, and it felt very different, her hand on the horse's back, touching the horse's warm body, and her heart was surprised and delighted.

Cheng Yu looked at her, seeing that she smiled so well, his heart softened, as if he was willing to do anything for her, just to protect her smile, he patted the horse lightly, "Go." ”

Jiao Niang looked at the boundless grassland, as if her heart was filled with green. The sunset had just set on the horizon, and she could see it intuitively, which was different from the sunset seen in the small courtyard.

Her gaze gradually fell on the young man beside her, who was tall and tall like a bamboo, and the shadow of the sun shrouded half of his side face, and his eyebrows were sparse and heartwarming.
