The subordinate had to order him to ride back to the Song Mansion quickly, and led two horses out, which were the horses of Song Ziyan and Zilan, all of which were the descendants of the war horses that Yang Hou Ye specially selected for their brothers and sisters, and they have been raised.

Although Zilan didn't have time to practice riding, she didn't go to feed the horse every day before school and play with it for a while, and her relationship was very close.

"Treading the snow, do you want me, I miss you, I'll take you to play today, okay?"

Zilan named her horse Treadxue because a small section of its hooves was white, hence the name.

Qiong Xin placed the saddle, helped her on the horse, and then followed the horse and sat on the back seat, Zilan is not good at equestrianism, and there is no time to practice, it will be dangerous if she can't ride a horse alone.

"Let's go to the suburbs to play, it's rare to go out, we've had enough fun and go back, you guys go buy something to eat and bring it to us, roast chicken, dim sum, kettle and the like."

Cui Hao is very good at enjoying it, this is the posture of going on an outing.

"Yes."

"Frangipani Qiongxin, you follow Lan'er. Mu Xiang, go home, report to grandpa, and we'll go back in the afternoon. ”

Ziyan explained a few words, brought Zhenjiang and Shuichen, and asked He'an to go shopping.

"Let's go. Lan'er, I'll take you to a fun place, the scenery is very good, I guarantee you like it, by the way, go buy a drawing board. ”

Cui Hao muttered to himself and remembered another thing, and hurriedly followed after and ordered.

"Got it."

"Really, it's so pretty, then I'm going to draw a few and bring it back."

Zilan felt the pleasant breeze on the horse, and her depressed mood was evacuated a little, and there were two smiles on her face.

"Definitely, that plum blossom is blooming, it is very beautiful, I have always wanted to go, but I didn't meet the right person, it was really good to meet you, so I went together."

Cui Hao was very proud to show off.

"Just a few of us, is there anyone else?"

Ziyan asked.

"No, what do you want so many people to do, it's a panic."

Cui Hao shook his head.

"It's fine."

Ziyan thought for a while and smiled.

They walked out of the city gate together, Zilan hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, she was still quite happy, she had a smile on her face all the time, and the breeze was very pleasant.

"Lan'er, why haven't you come to my house to play for a few days, I didn't see you last time I went to your house, did you receive the gift I brought you?"

Cui Hao turned his head and asked Zilan.

"Received, I'm practicing, that handwriting is very good, thank you, Brother Cui. I was punished the last time you came, hehe. ”

Cui Hao thought for a while and laughed: "Oh, I heard my grandfather mention that it was Grandpa Song who drove out all the scholars with foreign surnames, right, it won't be because of you." ”

"It's pretty much the same, grandpa is to protect me, and another one, it's just that I've been grudging for a long time.

People with foreign surnames have gained a lot of benefits from my Song family, but they are becoming more and more dissatisfied, and they want to get more things, but this is at the expense of my Song family's children, and my brothers and sisters are naturally dissatisfied.

In order to see the outsiders, the girls can make a mess of rumors, and even spread rumors in private, the clan elders have long been dissatisfied, and they have a seizure from the beginning. ”

Zilan didn't hide it, it was all public.

"That's right, my Cui family used to recruit people with foreign surnames to study, and then they all retired, this time and that, in order to gather more strength, now the situation is different. Later, my family also revised the genealogy, and no longer recruited people with foreign surnames. ”

Cui Hao is very familiar with these things, after all, he was raised by his son-in-law.

"You're right, my Song family is also at this juncture now."

"Actually, I have a good suggestion, several famous academies in the capital have always accepted donations, you know, you can't support a big academy just by bundling money.

It's all about families donating money and books in order to ask for more than one place, but it still has to be strictly assessed, and it may be very good to have a few more places. ”

Cui Hao said that half was left and half was left, and Chao Ziyan and Zilan squeezed their eyes.

"Is there any other academy that is in urgent need of money, do we know it?"

Zilan reacted quickly, such an opportunity could not be missed.

"Bishan Academy, although not as famous as Lushan, is also the first choice of the academy for the children of the poor family, and it often produces talents.

Previously, Bishan Academy rejected a donation from a landlord, probably because his children were a little unbearable, and the landlord cut off the donation in a fit of anger.

At present, the college is considering donations from other families, but the candidates have not yet been selected, and there are many people who want to donate money, but not everyone is eligible to be selected. ”

Zilan naturally understood Cui Hao's implication, there is really no shortage of people in large academies to donate money or books, there are many people queuing up to donate, but the academy doesn't have to be you.

"I see, thank you Brother Cui for telling me the news."

Zilan has a measure in her heart, and plans to let her uncle run in person, our family can donate, just ask for two more places, and be willing to accept the assessment and regulations of the college, multiple opportunities and multiple roads.

Cui Hao smiled and nodded, talking to smart people is to save trouble.

They came all the way to the wild plum blossom forest, this is a wild forest, planted with a large number of plum trees, every spring warm plum blossom bloom is very beautiful, there are many people who come here to watch, even a good place for boys and girls to meet.

Looking into the eye, a piece of plum blossoms, pink white, small plum blossoms are fragrant and splendid, the style is proud, between the nose is the fragrance of plum rui, slightly cool, refreshing.

"It's beautiful!"

Zilan took a deep breath, only to feel that her whole body was transparent with a hint of coolness, and the turbidity in her chest was swept away, very happy.

Cui Hao looked at her side face and smiled happily, his starry eyes were bright and bright, and his smile was sunny and cheerful, "How about it, I said that you will definitely like it here." ”

"Well, this is so beautiful, the mood is comfortable and happy, Brother Cui, thank you."

Zilan smiled and thanked him, in fact, he suddenly changed his itinerary today, probably to make her happy.

Because he didn't prepare anything, it can be seen that he was ordered to buy it on the impromptu basis.

"Hehe, are we friends, what is this, as long as you are happy. I heard my grandfather say, Uncle Song did a good job this time, and his promotion is certain, and the emperor has praised it several times, so you can rest assured. ”

Cui Hao parroted his grandfather and said that Song Zhengtian was a rare talent in the Song family.

"Thank you, I hope so too. Oh, let's go play, it's hard for us to go out and relax, and it's time to get busy again. I'm going to draw a few pictures of plum blossoms in a while, and it's just beautiful. ”

Zilan laughed happily, jumped off the horse to greet them, and ran into the forest to have fun first, he hadn't played like this for a long time.

"Don't run, be careful of falling."

Ziyan immediately dismounted and chased after her sister.

"Brother, come on, you can help me draw a portrait in a while, how nice this scenery is."

A plum grove in the middle of the mountains, cleverly blending with the mountains, forming a natural and open landscape, which is by no means comparable to that in the courtyard.
