Chapter 52: The Horse Walks Proudly
Murong Li raised his voice, and the rest of the people looked at them.
Murong Yan poked Ji Ming with the tip of his pen suspiciously, "How did he say this in a weird way?" ”
Ji Ming shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't know.
Murong Xi looked at Nan Xiao, twisted his brows, and then reminded the companion who was watching the excitement to continue reading the book.
Murong Shu is deeply favored by His Majesty, but his evaluation inside and outside the government and the opposition is not very good. Nothing is good, nothing is taken, no learning is unskilled, amorous, mixed eating and waiting for death, coupled with the fact that King Rui spent a lot of money for the top brand of Qianye Lou has been spread in the Great Thorn City, Murong Shu has become a negative example of the officials of the major clans teaching their children.
An elderly imperial uncle once pointed at Murong Shu's nose and scolded, "Why did my Murong family have such a waste like you!" ”
The righteous son of such a merry prince can imagine what kind of role he will become in everyone's speculation and discussion.
And Murong Jin didn't know this, he always felt that Murong Su was just a little rude.
Murong Jin took Nan Xiao and sat down in front of the bookcase, "Don't pay attention to them, read the book well." ”
"Hmm." Nan Xiao nodded.
Murong Li and Nangong Qi's position was in front of Murong Jin and the others, although they were separated by a distance, but the sound of their undisguised conversation was just right for the two behind to hear clearly.
I only heard Murong Li say: "I don't know what my father thinks, such a person also let the fourth brother bring him, and he is not afraid of dirtying this school." ”
Nangong Qi said: "Your Majesty has your own decision. ”
These words were very harsh, Nan Xiao clenched a page of a book, the paper was wrinkled, and he never turned the page.
Murong Jin continued to read and make annotations, and the pen did not stop, and said in a voice that only four people could hear: "The eldest brother of the emperor should accumulate more virtue, don't be like the virtuous concubine Niangniang, who has lost her good fortune." ”
Concubine Xian's incident had already made Murong Li's chest choke, and he had been angry and sad for a long time, but now when Murong Jin mentioned it, he couldn't tell the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
"Murong Jin, you-" Murong Li turned sideways, about to have a seizure.
Murong Jin raised his eyes and smiled, "Elder Brother Huang, Mr. Gu is here......"
Gu Shi gently landed the ring ruler on the bookcase in front of Murong Li, "The books are all warm?" Murong Li turned around stupidly.
Murong Jin was still reading books when he was recuperating, but he could still keep up, and these contents were still too difficult for Nan Xiao to learn, and he couldn't even recognize the words on a page.
If you can't keep up, it's easy to get anxious and distracted. When there was pain in his left shoulder, Nan Xiao came back to his senses.
Gu Shi continued to pinch the ring ruler and lecture in the air, without saying anything.
Nan Xiao hung his head in annoyance, he was sober, but he couldn't listen anymore.
After class that day, Murong Jin no longer struggled as before, packed up his books early, and pulled Nan Xiao out of the school palace.
Nan Xiao had been silent since he left the Xue Palace, until he returned to the Floating Moon Palace, and then he said in an extremely low voice: "Your Highness, am I very bad?" ”
"How can it be, Nan Xiao is obviously so good," Murong Jin said with a smile, "Don't take what they say in the school palace to heart, that person is my eldest brother, he hates me when he urinates, and he also hates the people and things around me." Today, it's obviously because of me, and you have been wronged. ”
Nan Xiao continued to look at the tips of his shoes, "What about the other person?" ”
"That person's name is Nangong Qi, and he is the son of the Hou family of Zhenguo, so he is inevitably a little arrogant," Murong Jin said coldly, "In the past, he was my companion, but then when I got sick, he followed my eldest brother." ”
Nan Xiao pondered for a while, and also roughly sorted out the grievances between them.
"Don't keep your head down," Murong Jin pressed his index finger against Nan Xiao's forehead, forcing him to raise his head, "You are Prince Rui's righteous son, His Majesty's appointed companion, and you are also half a master in the Fuyue Palace, not a minion." You don't have to lower your eyebrows and look at people's faces. ”
"Oh......"
Murong Jin took advantage of lunch time to tell Nan Xiao that there was still a riding class this afternoon, and this place was not too close to the west school field, so he would go earlier.
He also instructed Dongxian: "Remember to tell the jockey that Nan Xiao rode a horse for the first time, try not to hurt people." ”
"Yes."
The west school field is a relatively small school field in the palace, and the prince's companions are here to learn imperial archery and other classes together.
Nan Xiao changed into a capable riding uniform and came over. The jockey is a tall middle-aged man, with a strong and powerful body due to years of exercise, and his eyes are bright.
This person looked dignified, and his speech was not harsh, "I heard that Nan Gongzi is riding a horse for the first time, so he won't learn with other sons." ”
The jockey led a white horse and walked over, "Childe, this is a pure-blooded white horse from Mongolia, called Fuyun, and his temperament is relatively docile and stable, suitable for beginners like Childe." ”
It was a very beautiful white horse, not very large, the color of the coat was very pure, the white seemed to be mixed with silver threads, and the eyes were as clean as a clear spring. Nan Xiao tried to step forward, cautiously approaching.
The jockey reminded: "Floating Cloud doesn't like people to touch its ears and mouth and nose. ”
"Got it." Nan Xiao reached out and put it on the horse's head, but Fuyun did not resist or dodge, but quietly let Nan Xiao caress it one by one.
"It seems that Fuyun likes Childe very much," the jockey smoothed the horse's back, "Childe come here, I'll teach Childe to get on the horse." ”
The jockey tightened the reins, "Childe, you hold the front saddle bridge with your left hand and the right side of the rear saddle bridge with your right hand," he said, gesturing to the position of the saddle bridge, "put your left foot in the stirrups first, and then turn over with both hands." ”
Nan Xiao listened carefully, stepped on the stirrup as he said, grabbed the front and rear saddle bridges with both hands, and used force to prop up his body up. As soon as the jockey lifted Nan Xiao's calf, Nan Xiao straightened his right leg and quickly straddled the horse's back, and landed gently on the saddle.
Seeing that Nan Xiao was learning so quickly, the jockey couldn't help but be relieved: "Childe is so smart. ”
Nan Xiao looked at the ground with a little surprise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend.
The jockey first took the reins on the left side and took Nan Xiao to slowly walk around the school field, teaching Nan Xiao the correct posture of riding, and then handed the reins to Nan Xiao to let him ride the horse, and watched from a short distance.
After a short time, Nan Xiao was already able to ride a horse alone and trot on the school grounds.
The jockey smiled: "Childe can learn much faster than your father-in-law, and His Royal Highness King Rui can only trot on a horse the next day." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Nan Xiao's heart suddenly rose with a little confidence.
After a short break, I practiced for about a quarter of an hour.
Nan Xiao was taking advantage of the rest of his companions to gallop on the school field on a horse.
It's just the first time that Nan Xiao has experienced this feeling, and Ma Fei runs very smoothly and is not bumpy. The whole body is like a volley, the wind is whistling past the ears, and a heart seems to be able to fly with it.
Enjoyable and at ease.
Nangong Qi, who was sitting under the shed and rubbing his legs, saw it, and also turned over on his horse, pulled the reins, and ran in the direction of Nanxiao.
