Shu Rusheng accompanied Qi Xin to live in Qi Mansion, and on the morning of the second day, she was still by Qi Xin's side, watering the flowers and plants in the yard. At this time, Uncle Wu walked unhurriedly, still holding the fold in his hand, and when he came to the two of them, he said, "Master, Miss." This is an excerpt sent by King Cheng'an, saying that he is preparing a hunt in the afternoon, and he invites the old lady to go. said yes, there are no outsiders, they are all family members, but they are accompanied by Lord Fu Yin. ”

King Ling Zicheng of Cheng'an is the only male of the old King Cheng'an, and he is also the younger brother of the lord of Shucheng. When Shu Rusheng came to Jingzhou before, he often played with him. After listening to Uncle Wu's words, Shu Rusheng looked at Qi Xin, but did not say half a word. Qi Xin knew that she wanted to go, for example, when she took a kite and Ling Zicheng to go outside, she was punished by Qi Anrou to kneel in front of the Buddha hall at night, and she often sneaked out to mix with him, and Qi Anrou's discipline was inevitable when she came back. Now that Qi Anrou is no more, she is no longer the naughty Qi Anya. Qi Xin nodded, turned his head to Uncle Wu and said, "Okay, you prepare first." I haven't been out of the house for a few days, but I want to go out for a walk. ”

After hearing this, Shu Rusheng immediately smiled and said, "Ya'er, I haven't seen Zicheng's brother for a long time, I heard that he has a family and children." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone behind her say loudly: "Sister Ya'er is too angry, and she won't come to see my brother." ”

When they heard the voice, they all turned to look at the person who spoke, and Shu Rusheng saw that it was Cheng'an Wang Ling Zicheng and his brother Qi Liansheng. King Cheng'an usually came to Qi Mansion to visit Qi Xin, so they no longer had the courtesy of those subjects, and Uncle Wu saw the two of them and said: "The slave will go to prepare tea, and talk first." ”

Shu Rusheng stretched out his hand to help Qi Xin go to sit on the stone bench, and said, "I heard that King Cheng'an has been busy with official business recently, and I have only been in Jingzhou for two days, so I think you will have to go again in a few days." ”

King Cheng'an also sat down with the two of them, and Qi Liansheng was just like them. Ling Zicheng has always been a lot closer to Qi Mansion, he used to run with Qi Liansheng in Kyoto, and when he returned to Jingzhou, he often came to Qi Mansion to let Qi Xin teach literature, and it was also the old King Cheng'an who instructed Qi Xin to teach strictly. King Cheng'an squinted at Shu Rusheng, her appearance has indeed changed from her before, and her personality has also changed, and she is no longer so nonsense. He looked around, and it had been a long time since he had felt that the yard had come to life. said: "Just believe what you say, you have to go hunting in the afternoon, I haven't seen you for a long time to see if you forgot to shoot, your archery is still taught by me." ”

Shu Rusheng smiled and nodded: "We received the excerpt, my father and I will go, give you enough face." ”

When Ling Zicheng heard that Qi Xin was going, he said in a panic: "Uncle is going too?" ”

Qi Liansheng looked at him like this, and suddenly secretly laughed. Ling Zicheng was afraid of Qi Xin more than his father, he was still young and ignorant before, and because he was the son of the world, when he first came into contact with Qi Xin, he was extremely rebellious. Ling Zicheng said at that time that if Qi Xin dabbled in a game with him, he would not be able to win him, and if he lost, he would come to Qi Mansion every day before dawn to wait and circle Qi Xin before and after. At that time, Qi Xin was still in the prime of life, Ling Zicheng thought he was just a literati, but after losing a lot, his father told him that most of his martial arts were taught by him, and from then on he saw Qi Xin like a cat seeing a mouse.

Qi Liansheng deliberately quipped: "Yes, although my uncle can't play in person, he hasn't seen our results in the hunting ground for many years, so let's take a look." ”

Everyone present knew that although Ling Zicheng often organized hunting, most of them also released water when he saw that he was the prince, and he also understood this. But in the face of Qi Anya and Qi Liansheng, they can't keep what they will lose. I'm not afraid of losing, I'm just afraid that Qi Xin won't come to teach. Qi Xin, who was on the side at this time, said: "As a prince, I am still afraid of the two of them. ”

Shu Rusheng was also secretly having fun on the side, Ling Zicheng had a somewhat ashamed face, and said: "Uncle, I'm not afraid, you said that your brother-in-law never let me be my brother-in-law, and you have to discipline him well." Zicheng, so well-behaved is not. ”

Qi Xin quietly shook Zicheng's skull with his fingers, and he sat next to Qi Xin. With a doting and scolding tone, he said: "Let the uncle take a look in the afternoon, your civil and military affairs are taught by me, don't lose to Ya'er, how many people have been taught by me." ”

Shu Rusheng did study under many people, and she rode horses and archery alone to have Shuchang County Lord, Qi Liansheng, Qi Chen, Wang Yijun and other people. Shu Rusheng still had a smile on his face and said confidently: "Father, although I have studied with many people, some of these people are also taught by you. It depends on the results of the afternoon, if I win Zicheng, brother will lend me your beloved foal for a few days, and return it to you when I return to Kyoto. ”

Ling Zicheng laughed at this time, stood up and said, "Ya'er, don't say it's a horse, even if you want anything in my house, I'm willing." ”

When Shu Rusheng heard what he said, he poured cold water on him and said, "This is what you said, and now my father and brother testify." ”

Qi Xin and Qi Liansheng both nodded, and there was the laughter of four people here, and the grandmother who came with tea and Uncle Wu in the distance said to Uncle Wu: "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss's heartfelt smile, and sure enough, this is Miss's medicine." ”

Uncle Wu is already old and walks a little slowly, but Mama still walked behind him and said, "Yes, the Qi Mansion finally has life, there is no lifeless breath, let's hurry up and serve them tea, I guess I will be thirsty after talking so much." ”

Mama nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Wu." ”

In the afternoon, people fall asleep and take a nap. Shu Rusheng did not go to the bed to close her eyes and recuperate, but went to the horse house to look at the foals, and the horse keeper saw that she was here, so he stepped forward and bowed down, and said, "The lord of the county is here to see the foals used in the afternoon." ”

Shu Rusheng smelled the smell of horses in the stable, but she didn't like it. On the contrary, Ni'er, who came together, felt a little unpleasant. When Shu Rusheng was about to walk forward, Ni'er stopped her and said, "Miss, the smell here is strong, let's go somewhere else." ”

Shu Rusheng turned his head to look at her, and knew that she had probably never walked into this stable, shook his head and said: "It's okay, I heard a lot when I first learned to ride a horse, if you really can't stand it, you go outside first, or go back first." When I'm ready, I'll go back by myself. ”

In Ni'er's eyes, riding a horse is a woman's must, and she was a little surprised when she heard that Shu Rusheng was also going to participate in the afternoon hunting, but now that she is here, she is not a little afraid because of the smell of horses, but she has to go inside. Shu Rusheng saw that she was hesitant, but she couldn't walk in, so she said, "You go back first, help me see if the pastries are ready to go to the hunting ground?" Go ahead. ”

Shu Rusheng said a few more good words, and Ni'er turned around and walked back. Shu Rusheng saw her leave, and then walked inside to stroke the foal. Ni'er walked to the door, and the grandmother who came out of the room saw Ni'er and said, "Eh, where is Miss?" Why are you alone? ”

Ni'er heard the voice and looked up to see that it was Mama, leaned over and said, "Miss went to the stable, let me come back first." ”

Mama knew that Ni'er couldn't stand the smell of the stable, so she smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't get used to the smell, so Miss let you come back." But it's okay, and I'm not afraid of any insecurity in the house. ”

Ni'er gradually became familiar with Mama, and she didn't hide her words, saying, "Mama, Ni'er is a little puzzled. This woman rides a horse, except for some military camp chiefs or military generals, the young lady is already the lord of the long county, why do you want to learn this horseback riding? ”

Mama went into the room again, Ni'er followed behind, Mama said: "Originally, Miss didn't have to learn this, and her reputation was not very good, and the girl didn't learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows. But Miss is different, she has been in the palace for a while, and she is by the side of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is not a woman of our Ling Dynasty, but a woman of Mu State, and riding a horse and archery is also seen every day. The young lady also learned to ride a horse because of this, and archery was taught by King Cheng'an. However, if you get to know Miss slowly, you will understand. ”

In the later days of Ni'er in Jinzhou City, she really felt that Shu Rusheng was not what she thought, just a young lady from a noble family. After listening to Mama's words again, she added her doubts, Mama looked at her and said: "I heard that you used to be a rich lady, and you were in contact with these female red rings and the like, but you only came out to serve people when something happened at home, and I have also seen your father, and his conduct is still of the highest grade." But you and Miss will learn a lot. ”

Ni'er stepped forward and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Mama, and said, "Mama, my father is okay." As soon as they arrived these days, they would clean up in Shufu and come to Qifu to clean up again, and they didn't have time to find their father, they were all fine. ”

Mama took the tea poured by Ni'er, nodded and said, "Okay, when he came, Uncle Wu prepared a courtyard for your family to live in, your father is a businessman, and the eldest master is too old to do those business things." Your father quickly took over the affairs of the Qi family, this young lady has just arrived in Jingzhou, and it is estimated that it will be busy for a few days, but the rest of your family, you can go and see it if you have time, but it is a little far. Later, I will ask Uncle Wu to prepare a carriage for you when you are going, and it will be more convenient for you to go. ”

Ni'er leaned over and said, "Thank you, Mama, my family was in great trouble in Jinzhou City, and it was Miss who rescued us." It is also appropriate for his father to work hard for the Qi family, and now the family can live in Jingzhou settlingly, and Ni'er is also relieved to be able to serve the young lady. ”

Mama put down the teacup, patted her hand, and said: "That's fine, Miss is a little weird, but being able to stay with her is also someone she trusts very much, you serve Miss well, I also want to go down to see if the hunting things for the afternoon are ready, you can rest here first." ”

After Mama finished speaking, she walked outside, and Ni'er watched her go away before doing her own thing.
