Chapter Twenty-Eight: Retreat as Advance
Early the next morning, Rong Jiu told his brothers about going to play, and at first, the brothers were strongly opposed, first, because they were assassinated first, and second, they didn't like Song Moci.
Besides, this time I went to Jingyue Lake outside Jing'an City, which was much more dangerous than in the city.
But even so, they still couldn't resist Rong Jiu's crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves, and in the end they had to compromise, but they also had a request, that is, to let Mo Ningshu follow him every step of the way.
As long as he can go out, where can Rong Jiu take care of so much, and he readily agreed for a while.
But Song Moci was not happy.
He pointed to Moningshu, who was feeding the horses not far away, and asked incredulously, "Why is he going too?" ”
Rong Jiu shrugged helplessly: "That's right." ”
"But ......"
"Oh, it's all about going out anyway, it doesn't matter if there's one more person or one less, besides, my brothers have to follow him, and I can't help it."
Rong Jiu raised her eyebrows, anyway, she wasn't dating Song Moting, she didn't mind Mo Ningshu following.
"Okay."
Song Moci sighed silently, and could only compromise.
"Alright, alright, let's go! Otherwise, what if my eldest brother and they regret it later? Rong Jiu urged.
"Okay, let's go now." When Song Mo heard this, he hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and then raised his eyebrows and said to Rong Jiu, "Xiao Jiu'er, do you want to ride a horse with me?" ”
Rong Jiu rolled his eyes silently, "It's not necessary. ”
Then motioned to Ah Mu to bring her little red horse, and after taking the reins from Ah Mu's hand, Rong Jiu did not forget to tell Ah Mu, "Wait for me at home obediently." ”
"Well, the princess must be careful and come back early." Amu asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Rong Jiu said with a smile, and then turned over and got on the horse.
As soon as the three of them rode their horses for a while, Song Moci asked Rong Jiu and the two to wait for him in the same place, saying that he wanted to call someone.
Rong Jiuhu waited suspiciously in place for about a quarter of an hour, and when he was about to get impatient, he saw Song Moci Zhenggen Qiao Muqing coming on a horse in the distance.
I called him.
Rong Jiu thought to himself.
"Eh, why did you suddenly bring General Qiao with you? It can't be for your sister, right? Rong Jiu drove the horse to Song Moci's side, lowered his voice and asked.
"It's still my little Jiu'er who is smart, that's right, it's for Yu'er's girl." Song Moci shrugged helplessly.
"I didn't expect your brother to be very good, no wonder that girl likes you so much." Rong Jiu said with a smile.
"Well, I have a better one!" Song Moci tilted his head a little proudly.
"Oh? Really? Let's hear it. ”
"Is Xiao Jiu'er so interested in me? But that's what you'll find out later. Song Moci said with a smile.
"Cut."
Rong Jiu rolled his eyes and walked away from him on his horse.
If you don't say it, you won't say it, and you're still selling it, as if I want to know you.
Jingyue Lake is not far away from Ancheng, but it is not far away, but it is not close.
Walk ten miles east of the city, then through a dense thicket of bushes, and follow the path in the forest until you reach the end, where you can see a grassland surrounded by trees.
Jingyue Lake is located in the middle of the grassland, so it is named because its shape resembles a curved moon.
Rong Jiu closed his eyes, feeling the aroma of licorice brought by the oncoming breeze.
The soft grass undulates with the breeze, like a tumbling wave.
These scenes in front of her reminded her of the time when she was in Xining.
Rong Jiu's mood suddenly cleared up.
Compared with the bustling and crowded Jing'an City, it is quiet and comfortable, as if it is a paradise.
"Hey, here, why are you so slow, you've been waiting for a long time!"
Rong Jiu opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Mencius, Shen Mingshan, Mingyu, and Yunniang watching them not far away, and it was Mencius Gui, who was dressed in black and smiling.
Rong Jiu looked at Song Moci a little overwhelmed for a while, although she had long known that they would also come, but after all, she was not very familiar with them, so she didn't know what to do at the moment.
Song Moci threw a smile at Rong Jiu. It seems to be saying don't be afraid, I'm here.
Rong Jiu took a deep breath, and then followed Song Moci towards everyone.
However, it was not only Rong Jiuyi who was embarrassed at this time, but also Qiao Muqing, whose smile gradually stiffened.
He didn't know that Mingyu was also there, and if he knew, he would never agree to Song Mo's resignation.
Mingyu was still very happy when she saw Qiao Muqing, but as soon as she heard what her brother said to her, she tried her best to restrain her desire to come forward to greet him.
"Hey, you're too slow!" Mencius patted Song Moci's shoulder and complained.
"Okay, ahem, although everyone has met, let's reintroduce it." Song Moci cleared his throat and said.
"This is Rong Jiu, I believe you also know." Song Moci pointed at Rong Jiu and said to everyone.
"Hello, just call me by my name in the future." Rong Jiu said with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Mencius Gui, you are just like them, just call me Zigui, and I will call you Jiu'er in the future!" Mencius said enthusiastically.
"Okay." Rong Jiu smiled and nodded.
"In Xia Shen Mingshan, can the princess call me Mingshan?" Shen Mingshan said.
"My name is Yun Niang, we met last time." Yun Niang said with a smile.
"My name is Mingyu, what happened last time...... I'm sorry. Mingyu pushed Mencius away, walked to Rong Jiu's side, pulled her sleeve and said.
"It's okay, I forgot." Rong Jiu smiled back.
When everyone got to know each other, they began to talk happily.
"I heard that Jiu'er can ride a horse, I really haven't seen it, or let's have a horse race?" Mencius proposed.
"Yes, yes!" As soon as he heard about the horse race, Rong Jiu came to his senses.
"Wow, Sister Jiu'er, you can still ride a horse! It's amazing! When Mingyu heard this, he leaned over to Rong Jiu's side with a look of envy.
"It's just average~" Rong Jiu smiled embarrassedly.
"I won't ......" Mingyu lowered his head and muttered, then his eyes lit up, "Sister Jiu'er, can you teach me to ride a horse!" ”
"Huh? This one...... All right! Rong Jiu scratched his head a little wryly.
"Wow! That's great! Mingyu jumped for joy.
Afterwards, except for Mingyu and Yun Niang, everyone else raced one after another, and there was laughter around.
When she was tired of playing, she gathered together, eating the snacks and tea brought by Yun Niang, and then Mingyu pulled Rong Jiu to teach her to ride a horse.
Rong Jiu's little red horse was still relatively docile and obedient, so Rong Jiu was relieved to let Mingyu ride it.
It was only during a period of practice that Rong Jiu found that Mingyu always secretly looked in Qiao Muqing's direction from time to time.
Only then did Rong Jiu realize that it seemed that from the beginning to the present, the two had never spoken.
Since Mingyu's mind was not on horseback riding, and Rong Jiu had no intention of teaching, he suggested taking a break.
"Hey, since you like General Qiao so much, why don't you go and talk to her?" Rong Jiu asked, if it was her, she would definitely always be around the other party, just like Song Moting.
"I want to too, I want to stick to him, too. But my brother said that if I was always like this, he would only find me annoying, and he would retreat as advance. But...... I told him last night that he didn't like me. Mingyu said, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Is that so? But I just saw that when you were riding a horse, General Qiao looked towards you, intentionally or unintentionally......" Rong Jiu pretended to be casual and said, in fact, she had been observing the two of them all morning.
"Do you mean it really?" When Mingyu heard this, he immediately cheered up.
"Hmm. What did I lie to you? Rong Jiu smiled and said thoughtfully, "Actually, I think General Qiao should also care about you, but for some reason, he doesn't dare to accept your wishes." By the way, when did you and General Qiao meet? ”
"I grew up with Brother Qing since I was a child, he wasn't like this when I was a child, he was very good to me, always protected me, and secretly took me out to play." As soon as Mingyu talked about what happened when he was a child, his eyes lit up.
It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart.
"I really envy you, I've known you since I was a child."
Rong Jiu couldn't help but feel a little envious, if only she and Song Moting were also childhood sweethearts, so that she could get to know him earlier, maybe they would have been together a long time ago.
"But it's because I've known each other since I was a child and I know each other too well, so I'm not used to it, Brother Qing said, he just treats me as a sister." Mingyu choked up a little, "But I don't want to be his sister." ”
"Okay, don't think too much, I want to know if he has you in his heart, this is very simple, just test it!" Rong Jiu patted Mingyu and comforted.
"Testing? How to test? ”
"Come, I'll tell you, we'll be like this in a while......" Rong Jiu leaned into Mingyu's ear and whispered.
"That's ...... Is it really possible? "Mingyu killed me, I was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, listen to me."
Rong Jiu is confident about this, although she is not a master of love, but she knows all kinds of routines in the TV series!
"What if he doesn't come......" Mingyu's eyes were a little dim.
"If he didn't go first, it means that you are not that important in her heart, if that's the case, then you should die." Rong Jiu said with his chin propped up.
"How do you know if you don't try it, but think about the bright side." Rong Jiu encouraged again.
"Well, I'm willing to give it a try." Mingyu nodded firmly.
"Then let's start, don't worry, the horse is very well-behaved, you just need to hold on to the reins and hold it steady." Rong Jiu instructed.
"Okay."
Then, Rong Jiu helped Mingyu to get on the horse, and taught Mingyu how to hold it steady, and then didn't forget to lean into the horse's ear and instructed, "Mu Mu is good, run slowly later, don't throw Mingyu off." ”
The horse nodded as if he could understand her.
Rong Jiu was relieved now, she looked at Mingyu and nodded firmly at her, and Mingyu also grabbed the reins.
Then, Rong Jiu patted Mu Mu's buttocks, and Mu Mu rushed in the direction of the woods.
The sudden acceleration caught Mingyu off guard, and he was a little scared in his heart, and he couldn't help screaming.
"Ahh Oh no, the horse suddenly went crazy and ran away with Mingyu, what should I do! Mingyu doesn't know how to ride a horse yet! Rong Jiu shouted at everyone.
Everyone originally wanted to be talking and laughing, but when they heard Rong Jiu shouting not far away, they hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Song Moci and the others didn't react, but Qiao Muqing got up directly and chased after him with a light effort.
Looking at Qiao Muqing's anxious and worried appearance, a smile hung on the corner of Rong Jiu's mouth.
Looking at this time, Mingyu made the right bet.
After Song Moci and the others reacted, they were thinking about chasing after them together, but they were stopped by Rong Jiu.
At such a critical time, she couldn't let them go to ruin the fun!
