Chapter 8 Horse Ride
Last night's rain didn't stop until early in the morning, so the roads in Jian'an County were muddy. Although Qishi was careful about his feet, when he returned to Qingyun Lane, his shoes were still stained with mud.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zheng Suo walking out with a basket on his back. "Sister Shi, the son ordered me to cut some grass so that I could feed the horses later."
Qishi knows that Sun Shao has a jujube red horse, and it seems that Sun Shao is going out in the afternoon.
She took off her shoes and walked barefoot into the front hall, only to see a wooden box in the middle, Sun Shao and Zheng Chunniang were discussing.
"Childe, this is a lacquerware given by the lord, and now it has not reached the end of the mountain, so don't give it away."
Sun Shao said with a smile: "Sister Chun, I have the name of Sun Mansion in the air, how can anyone visit me on weekdays." This kind of pomp and circumstance, why keep it. ”
"If the son doesn't mind, Chun Niang can go to the county government to get that share of the money."
"If I make a meritorious service, then I can still take it with peace of mind. Well, Ashi is here. ”
Qi Shi was about to quietly pass through the front hall, but although Sun Shao turned his back to her, he also discovered himself.
She was holding her shoes in one hand and her skirt in the other, and her face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Childe, Chunniang, I'm back. Tiger Skin has already struck. ”
Zheng Chunniang said with a smile: "There is Lao Ashi, come and give me the bamboo basket." ”
Only Sun Shao and Qi Shi were left in the front hall, Sun Shao pointed to the box and said, "This is the best lacquerware in Shu County, and I plan to give it to Ding Feng." ”
Qishi nodded and said, "Childe cherishes talents and is commendable." But this is a gift from Sun Quan, does the son dare to give it to others? ”
"Since my uncle gave it to me, it will be at my disposal, is it possible that I still have to worship it at home?"
Sun Shao closed the box and patted the top of the box with his hand.
"I'm going to Ding Feng's house today, you can go with me."
"Okay, but you'll have to wait for me." Qishi stuck out her tongue, and only then did she realize that her feet were also stained with mud.
Sitting down by the stream, Kiyo put both feet in the water. "Ahh The cold water washed away the mud stains, and she was also cold.
Qishi looked at his jade feet and sighed from the bottom of his heart, this body has clotted white skin, which is really enviable.
Suddenly, someone came up to her, blocking out the direct sunlight.
"You're new to the south, the sun is very poisonous at noon, haven't you seen that there is no one on the street?"
Sun Shao stood aside and held up an oil-paper umbrella for her.
Qi Shi was not uncomfortable, she gently splashed with her hand, and said: "My family was originally in Xuzhou, and later lived in Jingzhou for a period of time. ”
This is the hometown she remembers, and the city she traveled through before was by the warm sea.
"Xuzhou, I heard that those years were a place of war."
"Yes, but it's settled down in recent years. This war is about to burn to Jingzhou. Heroes come out of troubled times, doesn't Gongzi want to leave this Jian'an County and go to Jingzhou to develop a career? ”
Sun Shao was shocked in his heart, and said: "Jingzhou is my enemy of Eastern Wu, and it is also a necessary place to go west, if I am given a chance, of course I am willing to seize Jingzhou!" ”
He knew that he was speechless, and subconsciously said: "Now that Uncle Zhou is running Lujiang, where can I be used?" ”
Qi Shi said quietly: "At the age of Gongzi, your grandfather and father were all stubborn and made achievements that ordinary people could not reach. Childe, how long are you going to cover it up? ”
After she said this, she didn't hear an answer, and turned her head to look.
saw that Sun Shao had already gone away, and the oil-paper umbrella was put aside.
"If you're tempted, that's easy." Qishi picked up an oil-paper umbrella and walked barefoot through the stone path in the courtyard step by step.
In the afternoon, as the sun faded, Zheng Suo led the horse out, and Sun Shao took the reins and smiled at Qishi.
"Ashi, get on the horse."
Seeing that there was no horse stone, Qi Shi was slightly happy, pulled away from the stance, and took two steps back. Then he ran two steps, reached out and grabbed the noose from the saddle, and as soon as he threw himself onto the horse's back.
This was obviously beyond Sun Shao's expectations, he looked at Qi Shi in surprise, and was speechless for a while.
"Where is Ding Feng's house?" Qishi sat firmly on the back of the horse, a little proud.
Sun Shao eased up and nodded: "I thought you couldn't ride a horse, I was going to take the horse to take you." Now, let's ride together! ”
As he spoke, he also grabbed the rope noose, flew on the horse, and sat behind Qi Shi.
Qi Shi was embarrassed and said urgently: "Go down quickly!" Who wants to ride with you on the same horse? ”
"Sister, there's only one horse in the family." Zheng Suo replied earnestly and hung a horse feed bag on the back of the saddle.
"Then I'm going down!" Qi Shi turned his head, and his body suddenly froze.
Just because the two heads and necks were not more than an inch apart, she felt Sun Shao's blazing breath in her ears, her cheeks suddenly became hot, and she didn't dare to move anymore.
"Don't move, there's no time. Drive! ”
Sun Shaokou moved his hands, instigated the reins, and whipped the horsewhip. The jujube red horse is in the prime of life, and at this time, it is like an arrow off the string, and it is bounced out!
In Jian'an County in the afternoon, the two of them galloped by.
As the horses galloped, so did the people on horseback. Qi Shi grabbed the horse's mane tightly and leaned forward, for fear that Sun Shao would take advantage of the situation to stick to him.
But from beginning to end, Sun Shao did not rely on the truth to live in the world, and the world had a false alarm, and he kept wiping the sweat on his face.
"Ah Shi, you are extraordinary, well-informed, why did you fall into the hands of human traffickers?"
"It's a long story." Qi Shi naturally didn't want to answer this question, because this was originally planned by her.
"You haven't told me about the situation in Yamagoe that you inquired about."
"The best-selling thing on the market today is table salt, and it's fair to say they're hoarding in large quantities."
Sun Shao frowned, and said in a low voice: "Salt and iron are both important military materials, and there is no shortage of iron ore in the mountains, but there is a shortage of salt. Combining Ding Chengyuan's intelligence, it seems that Shanyue will have an abnormal movement in the near future. ”
"That boy has to plan ahead."
"Ashi."
"Huh?"
"You don't seem to be scared at all, and you're even encouraging me to fight?"
"Do I have it? Not at all! ”
Qishi denied it, but there was a complicated look on his face, but Sun Shao couldn't see her behind him.
At this time, Qi Shi conformed to the perception of the original memory, and did not think that war and intrigue were ordinary things. But it will not be easy to end the war.
From this point, Kiyo felt the powerful influence of her original memory, and this thought gradually determined her thinking.
Ding Feng's home is in the east of the city, with various houses next to each other, and the outside is surrounded by a fence. The two men slowed their horses' hooves and turned into an alley.
"This is a gift list, and you will hand it over to Ding Feng's mother later." After dismounting, Sun Shao handed a piece of silk to Qishi.
Qishi took it and listened to an old woman's voice: "Who is here?" ”
Sun Shao was respectful and said loudly: "Jiangdong Sun Shao, ask to see Ding Chengyuan's family." ”
