Chapter 111: Riding Horses (3)
When Xinyue was talking to Feng'er, she saw Chai Bijun's figure, she was wearing a light cyan riding shooting uniform, and her towering temples had two luxurious golden hairpins, showing her noble identity.
"Girl, why don't you speak?" Feng'er followed the gaze of the new moon curiously, and also saw the Lord of Cheshire.
"I was saying I was going to meet you outside, and you came, but you came with mercy?" Crescent Moon asked, smiling.
Chai Bijun bowed, "I went back and forth with mercy, and I thought she had also arrived at the door." ”
Xinyue nodded, "Please sit down inside the county lord for a while, and I'll go to greet mercy." ”
The two of them briefly looked at each other, and the new moon looked back and saw Chai Bijun, who seemed to be particularly friendly and generous today, although he didn't feel that today's sun came out of the west, but he also felt very strange.
But when I saw her enter the racecourse, she walked slowly to the shed.
"This Lord of Cheshire seems to be a little different." Feng'er said to Xinyue with some curiosity.
"It's no different" Xinyue smiled, she really deserved to be the girl next to her, in a word.
Feng'er shook her head, "The slave doesn't know either, in short, the county lord is different from his temperament to the tone of his speech." ”
"Their family is a queen's family, and finally there will be a new queen again, so naturally it won't be the same as us." If Xinyue is not mistaken, in another month or two, there will be a new Jin princess.
Thinking of Princess Jin, Xinyue raised her head and looked at the pity that was getting off the car, and her smile deepened.
Mercy was very happy to see the new moon, stretched out his hand, and trotted to the front of the new moon.
"There is your master's house where you do this, and it has been half an hour since my guest came, and you are too late." Xinyue looked at the merciful hand and looked up at Zhou Huan and Qiu Ying'er who were getting out of the car.
"I've seen the Lord of the Crescent Moon" Zhou Huan is the most familiar with the New Moon, and stooping down is just a joke with her.
Crescent Moon feigned anger and reached out to hit her, "Tell you to make fun of me." ”
"Oh, it's different for my sister to be the county lord, and she is so powerful." Zhou Huan covered the place where Xinyue's hand fell, pretending that Xinyue had hit it very hard.
"Okay, okay" Qiu Ying'er, as Zhou Huan's sister-in-law, naturally has some generosity, and stopped Zhou Huan's shoulder and asked her not to make trouble.
Xinyue smiled, looking at the two young men who were dismounting from the side, Zhou Huan glanced at the man on the left with a somewhat dark face, and after the two handed over the horse to the little servant, they also walked over.
"Sister Xinyue, let me introduce you, this is my husband" Zhou Huan pointed to her husband with some embarrassment.
Jiang Yu detained, "In Xia Jiangyu, I have seen the Lord of the Crescent Moon. ”
"I didn't see the adults at the mercy ceremony that day, but I saw it for the first time today, but the little girl should have seen the adults," he said, and the new moon also owed a bow.
"The county lord is in trouble" Jiang Yu took a scientific expedition last year, and Yao'er's husband Cao Jie was a colleague, but Cao Jie was released, and Jiang Yu sought an official position as a five-grade squire in Cao, which can be regarded as a starting point is not low, and he is a young talent.
"County Lord, this is my husband" Qiu Ying'er is a lot more generous, this is the eldest son of the third generation of the Hou family in Zhenbei, Jiang Rui, is a tall and very imposing man, about twenty years old, and now he is serving Wenlang as the fourth grade in Hucao.
"Jiang Rui has seen the county lord." Jiang Rui bowed his hand and bowed to the crescent moon.
"I saw adults that day, and today I am also polite."
After several people greeted each other, the two brothers of the Jiang family came in through another door and walked with their female dependents.
Xinyue said to a few people, "General Jiang has been waiting for a long time, and the King of Jin is also here, and he is saying that he wants to release the prey to hunt." ”
"Huh? Still hunting? "Zhou Huan can only ride a horse, and he is a little difficult to ask.
"After I married in Jinling, I haven't hunted once, and I don't know if I can bend my bow." Qiu Ying'er has itchy hands, she is a woman from the Eastern Capital, the original capital of the Eastern Capital, and the hometown of the founding Empress Zhang, the daughter there is naturally better at martial arts than the young ladies of Jinling.
"I see that the little guys are setting up targets, we can practice first." The new moon was also a little bottomless, shaking her hands, not knowing that she still had the strength to pull the bowstring.
Walking to the racecourse, the two brothers of the Jiang family had already arrived, and they were saluting King Jin and Jiang Yang.
Compassion walks in the front" Little uncle, brother-in-law. ”
The brother-in-law of mercy made everyone stunned, but only Rong Ying was indifferent, nodded and said, "But it's all here?" ”
"Back to my brother-in-law, everyone is here." As he spoke, Pity looked around, saw Chai Bijun who was sitting in the shed, and said in a low voice, "Why is she here too." ”
The new moon followed her gaze, and this Chai Bijun came, and it turned out to be uninvited.
However, Mercy quickly adjusted her state and walked into the shed with a smile. Xinyue felt that her personality was very similar to Yao'er at first, but looking at her face-changing skills, she also knew that she was indeed a step higher than Yao'er, and she was suitable for surviving in the palace in the future.
"I called a few good hands, and I also selected a few very docile horses, and the two nieces and daughters-in-law and mercy will be active in the field." Saying that, Jiang Yang ordered someone to bring the horses she had selected, and the new moon saw that they were all not tall, thick and docile horses, which were very suitable for women to ride.
"Little uncle, didn't you say you wanted to hunt?" Qiu Ying'er couldn't care about her dignity anymore, and asked a little eagerly.
Jiang Yang smiled, "It's so unbearable, it seems that the life in Jinling in the past few years has still not smoothed out your temperament." Don't worry, there is hunting, but now the beasts on the mountain have to catch up again, and they have to surround the railing, don't hurt people, and you have to wait for a while, you warm up first, there are targets over there, and you can also practice arm strength. ”
Jiang Yang admires the girl born in Jiangmen very much, Qiu Ying'er is not only a woman from the Eastern Capital, but her father, General Qiu, is also an old subordinate of Jiang Houye.
"Okay" said, Qiu Ying'er pulled Zhou Huan to pick a horse, and Mercy also pulled Chai Bijun to the horse, and then Xinyue realized that not every female dependant has a good horse like Xinyue.
In this way, Xinyue looked at the side, her own Ma Sanzhou, so majestic, couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Yang also saw her crampedness, and laughed at her, "This will make you feel that your horse is too big, didn't you still ride my horse just now?" ”
"If I had known that the general would have prepared a horse, I wouldn't have brought three boats with me."
"Your good horse is not in the stable, I will let people go and walk it a few laps, and I will have the strength to ride the horse for a while." As he spoke, Jiang Yang waved his hand, and immediately two small servants walked towards Sanzhou.
"Where's Ziyun?" The crescent moon looked around, but did not see the wild horse just now.
"General, general, have you seen the little master?" As soon as Xinyue's words fell, Jiang Feng's personal grandmother ran over.
Looking at the shed again, there was only Ya'er, who was drinking tea and couldn't ride a horse, and there was no Jiang Feng on the field.
Jiang Yang's brows immediately furrowed, "Come on, go and find..."
"Hiss..." There was a neighing sound of horses, Xinyue frowned, and Jiang Yang's muscles tightened in his whole body.
Ziyun came from the north, and the person riding it was Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng is only ten years old, his legs are not long enough, he can't step on the stirrup at all, and put pressure on Ziyun, so Ziyun, who is arrogant and fearful, is naturally not under his control, and tries his best to throw him off, fortunately, Jiang Feng can ride a horse, his hand is tightly pulling the reins of the horse, pulling backwards, still trying to tame Ziyun, but he looks like this, it is the most exhausting, and after a while, he will be thrown off the horse because of the exhaustion of strength, such a high horse, such a fast speed, Jiang Feng falls, either dead or disabled.
Jiang Yang's heart was in his throat, just at this time Sanzhou passed in front of his eyes, he ran to Sanzhou's side in a few steps, raised his feet and got on the horse, Rong Ying also reacted quickly, his horse was by his side, and the two of them ran to Jiang Feng together.
Xinyue frowned, seeing that the two of them were one left and one right, and Ziyun was a war horse, he reacted very quickly, and immediately dodged two positions, passed the two, turned a corner, and ran farther away.
Jiang Feng really deserves to be Jiang Yang's son, even so, he gritted his teeth, refused to call for help, and used his legs to reach the stirrup, Xinyue saw the flaw, if he went around from the left side, and staggered after facing Ziyun head-on, he could catch Jiang Feng.
Xinyue looked at a white horse not far away, this horse was stronger than Sanzhou, with thick leg muscles, and it was also a good horse, so Xinyue took the whip from Feng'er's hand and turned over on the white horse.
"Xinyue, don't..." Jiang Yang heard the neighing of a horse behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Xinyue was already riding a white horse from the left.
"What's wrong?" Rong Ying heard the eagerness in Jiang Yang's words.
"That's... Ma Baixue, the deceased wife, is almost twenty years old, and is considered an old horse, so his temperament has become a little harder, since the death of his deceased wife, except for me, no one seems to be able to... New moon, stop. Jiang Yang saw that the new moon was unstable, and he was about to be left by Bai Xue on his side.
Xinyue heard Jiang Yang's explanation, and her forehead immediately sweated, no wonder the horse had just run, and it kept stalking its head, Xinyue used a lot of strength to make it turn around, it turned out that there was such a reason. Without noticing, Bai Xue stepped on a wooden block, Xinyue's body was crooked, she subconsciously tightened her legs, and her hands were tightened, grabbed the reins on Bai Xue's side, and ran with Bai Xue for two or three hundred meters before she stabilized herself and sat back in the saddle.
Jiang Yang saw that Xinyue stabilized himself, and couldn't help but praise, "It's really a good reaction, Xinyue, you stop quickly, Lord Wang, you rush from here, I'll only chase from the north side." With that, Jiang Yang turned around and followed the new moon's train of thought to chase Ziyun.
Xinyue slowed down the speed of the horse, but neither Sanzhou nor King Jin's Wuju was Ziyun's opponent, and Bai Xue, who Xinyue had ridden just now, was the most likely of the three horses to save Jiang Feng's horse in the shortest possible time.
"Bai Xue is right, you are Mrs. Zhang's horse, but I am offended, but look, you see that horse, it is Mrs. Zhang's only son, in order to give birth to him, she paid for her life, you really..." Bai Xue didn't seem to want to listen to Xinyue's nonsense, maybe she didn't understand it at all, but she jumped forward a little impatiently, and continued to run in the direction of Xinyue just now, Xinyue immediately adjusted her state, but it was only four or five hundred meters, and she stood head-on with Ziyun, Rong Ying also immediately adjusted her direction, and went around to the back of Xinyue, and Xinyue held the reins of the horse with one hand, shouted at Jiang Feng, who was two or three hundred meters away from him, "Little master, I shout and jump, you jump to me, and I will hold you." ”
Jiang Feng looked at the new moon who was coming here in shock, frowned his brows, he glanced at the new moon angrily, the new moon noticed this look, it seems that this little young master will not jump.
Xinyue was anxious in her heart, "Rong Ying, you go to the left." ”
Rong Ying frowned, did not speak, but as she said, she went to the left, the new moon walked from the right, and the two kept their heads together and ran towards Ziyun.
Ziyun looked left and right, and there was Jiang Yang's whistle behind him, which was really useful to make it slow down, which bought Xinyue and Rong Ying some time, Xinyue tried to step on the stirrup, stood up, and pulled half of her body, but heard Rong Ying's warning "Sit back, I don't want to live..."
Xinyue felt a pain in her hand, she grabbed Jiang Feng, but she didn't know if the child was scared or deliberate, she didn't let go of the reins in her hand, and her leg also caught Ziyun.
In this way, the new moon felt that the wind poured into her body, and Bai Xue had already missed half of her body with Ziyun, and the new moon had to make a decision quickly, it was to let go of her hand, no, she couldn't let go.
Crescent Moon realized that if he let go and sat back on the snow, Jiang Feng would lose control due to the pull and fall from the purple clouds.
Xinyue gritted her teeth, grabbed Jiang Feng with both hands, then found a support point, turned around, and used an almost flying movement to go around behind Jiang Feng, and the moment she touched Ziyun's reins, Bai Xue completely staggered with Ziyun, and Xinyue half of her body was on Ziyun's back, and most of her body was dragged under the horse, Xinyue was dragged to the point of pain, but she gritted her teeth, ran twice, jumped on Ziyun's horse, and firmly hugged Jiang Feng.
"It's all right, it's all right, good boy, give me the reins." Saying that, Xinyue took the reins in Jiang Feng's hand, stepped on the pedals of his feet, and sank with all the strength of his body, giving Ziyun a warning, Ziyun was immediately overwhelmed by this momentum, and ran in the direction that Xinyue pulled, Xinyue knew that she was in control of Ziyun, so she hugged Jiang Feng with one hand and slowed down.
Jiang Yang saw this scene and ran to Xinyue's side on three boats, Ziyun was completely controlled, and the three of them were all sitting on horseback, and they were all safe.
Jiang Feng crouched in Xinyue's arms, after all, he was still a child, and when he encountered such a big thing, he must have been frightened, Xinyue felt that he was twitching, thinking that he was crying, Xinyue reached out and touched Jiang Feng's head, "Manly man, cry if you want to cry." ”
"I, I didn't cry" Jiang Feng's mouth was stiff, but he still couldn't stop sobbing.
"Your father is coming, but you want me to run away so that your father won't see you crying?"
"Okay, good" Jiang Feng nodded.
Xinyue gestured to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang stopped the three boats, Xinyue hugged Jiang Feng, and the two walked along the horse road to the north.
"I heard your father say that you are a good boy who is steady and honest, and that day in the cage mountain, I also saw you riding a horse, and you rode very well, but it is not yet time to ride such a big horse, can you tell me why you suddenly rode your father?"
"I, I won't tell you" Jiang Feng's mouth stiffened, refusing to let go.
"If you tell me, I'll teach you to ride the purple clouds." Crescent Moon seduced.
"Really, really?" Jiang Feng came into the arms of the new moon, revealing those dark eyes, watery, so pitiful.
Crescent Moon looked into his eyes and nodded earnestly.
"I, I know that you are a kind sister, you saved me, my father taught me to distinguish between right and wrong. But, you, can you not marry my father? Jiang Feng still looked at the crescent moon.
Crescent Moon frowned, "You don't want me to marry your father?" ”
"I don't want to."
"Are you afraid that I will treat you badly?"
"It's not"
"Afraid I'll make your father treat you badly?"
"Not really."
"What's that?"
"I'm afraid..."Jiang Feng wiped his tears with his sleeve, sat up from Xinyue's arms, and continued, "I'm afraid, my father forgot about my mother. I've killed my mother, I can't let her be forgotten by my father, then, then what else do I do son, I, I'm a bad spirit. ”
Jiang Feng had already completely believed in Xinyue, so he told her the doubts in his heart.
Xinyue wanted to smile and comfort him, but felt that it was not appropriate to laugh now, so she reached out and took his hand and put it on his chest, "Feel it, here." ”
"It's jumping here." Jiang Feng knew that below this was the heart.
"This is what your mother gave you, and she put it on your chest with her own life. At the same time, she also left something with your father, which has grown with his heart, and can only be completely removed by taking out his heart. ”
"If the man has no heart, will he not die?"
"Yes, if you don't have a heart, you will die, your father, put your mother in his heart, naturally he will not take it out." Saying that, Xinyue and Jiang Feng felt his heartbeat together, and he frowned as he listened to the heart that slowly changed from eagerness to slowing down, as if he had figured out something, but he didn't say anything, but instead diverted the topic, "In the future, you will not only teach me to ride Ziyun, but also treat me well." ”
"Treat you well?"
"My father, because he is older than you, does not want to marry you, saying that when he dies, there will be no one to take care of you. If you treat me well, I will support you for the rest of your life. ”
"What old age?" Jiang Yang waited really unbearable, so he urged Sanzhou to catch up with the two people.
"It's okay" Jiang Feng refused to talk to Jiang Yang, his face was different, but he leaned on Xinyue's arms, he was tired and frightened, but he found a long-lost sense of security and warmth in Xinyue's arms.
"You, you have really grown up, not only dare to ride your father's horse, but also have secrets, so, is it that your father will ask your grandmother to find you a good girl tomorrow, so that you can start a family." It can be seen that the relationship between the father and son is very good, and Jiang Yang is really teaching Jiang Feng with his heart.
"I'm going to have a grandmother, so why bother my grandmother?" Jiang Feng took Crescent Moon's hand and asked him to put it on his chest, and Crescent Moon felt that his heart was beating extremely strongly, which was a proof that he was healthy and determined.
Xinyue glanced at Jiang Yang with some embarrassment, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but was stubbornly held back by Jiang Feng.
The new moon had no choice, so she could only let him press it.
Jiang Yang looked at the two people who had become intimate, thinking of Jiang Feng's sudden departure from usual just now, thinking that he should have done such a dangerous thing in order to resist his marriage with Xinyue, but looking at his current actions, he thought that he was accepting Xinyue, and then thinking that Xinyue had just saved him desperately, his heart swelled with emotion, "Just now, thank you, Feng'er, you have thanked the county lord of Xinyue." ”
"Thank you, thank you" Seeing that he didn't answer, Xinyue was afraid that Jiang Yang would beat him in combination with what had just happened, so he said in a round.
"The grace of saving lives is not just a matter of words, and after a while, he will get off the horse, and he will kowtow to the Lord of the Crescent Moon to thank him." Jiang Yang raised his voice, looked at his son, who had always ignored him, and said loudly.
Jiang Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yang, "I thanked her for something better." ”
Xinyue felt Jiang Feng's gaze looking at her, and she didn't dare to respond for a while, but touched Jiang Feng's black hair, "Little young master, create and make people, and I'll talk about it later." ”
"You just said that I am a manly husband, so I can naturally do what I say." Jiang Feng was more serious, thinking that Xinyue didn't believe her.
Jiang Yang was confused: "What are you talking about?" ”
"No, nothing was said," Crescent denied.
"Dad, I heard from my grandmother that you would marry the Lord of the Crescent Moon?"
"Yes..."Jiang Yang glanced at Xinyue, and said in a more determined tone, "Yes." ”
"Well, you don't have to worry, who will take care of the Crescent Moon Lord when you are not in the future, my son just agreed... Hmm, hmm..."Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Xinyue covered his mouth with one hand, turned the horse's head with the other, and ran towards the crowd.
"Woo... You'll let me finish. Jiang Feng said with some complaints.
"I, I'm shy, okay, don't say it." Xinyue didn't want Jiang Feng to say any more.
"Look at your fierceness when you jumped just now, I really can't see you, you will be shy sometimes." Xinyue likes the change of Jiang Feng's title from "you" to "you", which shows that this little boy does not hate himself and has some respect.
"When I jumped off the horse just now, I almost broke my legs, you promised me that I wouldn't be able to do such a dangerous thing by myself in the future, you know?" Xinyue grabbed Jiang Feng's hand and asked him to promise himself.
Jiang Feng looked at the new moon and let out a "hmm" for a moment.
"Louder, I didn't hear it," Crescent Moon squeezed his hand.
"Yes, I hear you." Jiang Feng raised his voice, although he was reprimanded, but there was a warm feeling in his heart, this inscrutable, but real feeling, filled his heart, he was a little excited, and then laughed, Xinyue lowered his head, just saw her smile, so his heart was a little complicated, and I hoped that he could always smile so happily.
When he arrived outside the shed, Xinyue got off the horse first, and then stretched out his hand to Jiang Feng, but was stopped by Jiang Yang, "You let him get off by himself, boy, you have to be well trained." ”
Saying that, Jiang Feng also understood his father's teachings, and he got off the horse with some difficulty.
