All the way down the mountain, the maids were tired enough, but the masters were in good spirits, Grandma Xie, Mrs. Mu San and Xie Shurou, who were making the sedan chair, were of course not tired, and Mu Hongsheng, who walked all the way, was still bouncing and not tired at all.

The coachmen of the Xie family and the Mu family had been notified a day earlier, so they set up the car early in the morning and waited for the masters to go down the mountain. Each house has two carriages, the one in front is richly decorated for the master, and the slightly larger simple carriage in the back is for the maids.

Originally, Grandma Xie and Xie Shurou planned to say goodbye to Mrs. Mu San and Mu Hongshang at the carriage and horse post and take the car home separately, but when Grandma Xie turned around, she found that the coachman of the Mu family led a red horse out, and Mu Hongshang walked over with a smile and hugged the horse's neck.

"The eldest lady came on horseback?" Grandma Xie looked a little surprised.

"Yes," Mrs. Mu San smiled and nodded: "Grandma knows that my girl is different from other people, and it is common to go out on weekdays."

"Naturally," Grandma Xie was worried that Mrs. Mu San would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Princess Ningfu often walks on horses in spring, and the ladies of the Jingzhong family will also go out together. I'm just worried that Miss Mu is riding a horse, and the third lady is boring to ride alone. Why don't you do this, I will accompany the third lady in the car, and we just happen to talk together. ”

"How can this work," Mrs. Mu San immediately shook her head: "I'm walking with the eldest grandmother, won't Miss Xie Si be left alone."

"It's okay," Mu Hongshang immediately replied with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, I think it's good for grandma to ride with you, I rode a horse next to Sister Xie's carriage, she could see me as soon as she opened the window, and I just happened to be able to accompany her."

"Exactly." Grandma Xie immediately nodded and took the initiative to walk to the Mu family's carriage: "Let Rou'er's car walk in the middle, there is our car in front, and the carriage of the people in the back, she is accompanied by a maid, and I don't have anything to worry about."

Seeing that Grandma Xie said this, Mrs. Mu San did not insist, and she and Grandma Xie got along with each other on the mountain for a few days.

Although the Mu family has always been cautious in dealing with the big families in Beijing, it is not a big deal to go all the way back to Beijing, so Mrs. Mu nodded directly with a smile, instructed the Xie family maid to serve the young lady carefully, and then got into the Mu family's carriage with Grandma Xie.

This ride plan made Xie Shurou extremely happy. Without her mother in front of her, she was undoubtedly more comfortable with Mu Hongsheng. She didn't even want a maid, but Grandma Xie refused to agree anyway, and in desperation, Xie Shurou only left a maid to serve tea in the car.

And herself, as soon as she got in the car, opened the window, lay on the window, and showed a smile to Mu Hongsheng who was riding a horse.

"Hongshang, you are really amazing," Xie Shurou looked at Mu Hongsheng who was riding a horse with a little envy: "I can't ride a horse." Your horse is so good-looking. ”

"It's called Red Shadow." Speaking of his horse, Mu Hongsheng also looked proud: "I've been with me for almost three years, and when I first arrived at my house, I was only a half-sized foal." It's the shadow chasing horse that the fourth uncle found for me from the north, it's rare to see!"

"That's great!" Xie Shurou exclaimed. She actually can't tell whether the breed of the horse is good or bad, but she believes that Mu Hongshang said that it is rare, so it must be too good to be good. And the horse was really beautiful, brownish-red, slender and tall, with a neatly trimmed mane and beautiful muscles, and it looked just as beautiful as the Olympic horses she had seen on TV before.

"It's a young man," Mu Hongsheng also touched Chiying's mane with cherishing eyes: "Uncle Hu, who raises horses in my family, said that in another year, I will marry a daughter-in-law for Chiying, and find him an equally good-looking shadow-chasing horse as a daughter-in-law." Sister Xie, if you like it, in the future, Red Shadow will have a child, will I give you one? ”

"Me?" Xie Shurou looked down at her weak willow Fufeng's small body, and hurriedly shook her head with a smile: "Forget it, I don't know how to ride a horse at all, it's a waste to give it to me." And it's people like you who can raise such good horses, right? My family is full of Wenchen, and the horses in the stable are all used to pull carts, and they are fed casually, which is like your general's family, where the horses are all beautiful. ”

"I see that your horse, which pulls the cart, is good," Mu Hongsheng glanced at the white horse of the Xie family pulling the cart very knowingly: "Whether it is a good breed, it seems to be a good horse of Dawan, and it is also very valuable, not worse than the horse that pulls the cart at my house." Of course, a horse pulling a cart like this can't be compared to a war horse like a shadow chaser. ”

By the time he said this, the carriage had turned out of the carriage post and began to walk up the ramp up and down the mountain. Qinglian Mountain is actually a not small mountain, Jinghui Temple is on the top of the mountain, and the carriage and horse post under the Jinghui Temple Mountain is actually in the middle of Qinglian Mountain, and all the way down the mountain is a smooth ramp, in fact, it is not laborious to walk.

Provided that it's okay if it's okay

Originally, everything was fine. Mu Hongshang rode her red shadow parallel to Xie Shurou's carriage, and Xie Shurou lay by the window and talked happily to her. The carriage of the Duke of Anguo walked in front of the carriage of the Xie Mansion, and behind it was the carriage of the people of the two mansions, and they were sandwiched in the middle, which was really safe.

The ramp down the hill is not wide, and it can only accommodate two carriages at most, and if the carriages up and down the hill meet, both sides will have to slow down and be careful to stagger each other.

They came down the mountain quite early, and they didn't encounter the carriage going up the mountain along the way, so the carriage of the Anguo Mansion walked generously to the middle of the road, blocking the road tightly.

This was originally no problem, if it weren't for the fact that the horse pulling the cart of the Xie family suddenly went crazy inexplicably

At the time of the incident, they were about to walk to the bottom of the mountain, Mu Hongshang sat on the horse and looked at it from afar, and could already see the official road under the mountain.

This is a three-way crossing, the mountain road to Jinghui Temple is slightly wider, and a small fork is branched out from the mountain road, going to the mountain, slightly narrower, it seems that you can only pass through a carriage, the mountain road is more rugged and steep, and I don't know where it is going.

The carriage of the Anguo Mansion was the first to pass through the three-way crossing, and then the carriage of the Xie family arrived at the intersection, but at this time, the white Dawan horse of the Xie family, which had been pulling the carriage in An'an, suddenly became sexual.

Its front hooves stood up high, and it hissed in pain, and then its front hooves hit the ground with a heavy turn, and with a slight turn, it pulled the carriage straight towards the rugged path up the mountain.
