can look at himself in a skirt, and then look at his own small back garden, think about the face of his brother and sister-in-law, and sigh.

Zeng Ziye and Zeng Zigu used to have riding and archery lessons in school and could ride horses, so Jue'er said: "When I go back and wait for my father and second uncle to be free, I asked my father and second brother to teach us to ride horses outside the city." ”

When Jiulang heard this, he clapped his hands and cheered, and ran to the front yard with his legs: "I'll talk to my eldest brother." ”

Banniang also listened to it, thinking that Ming'er would urge the eldest brother to go to the ancient village with her, the eldest brother can ride a horse, and the last time he walked there, he must persuade the eldest brother to ride a horse, so that she can always find a chance to ride on the horse and have a good time.

After a while, Jiulang ran to the back garden with a smile on his face: "Jue'er, your father agreed, saying that in the next few days, he will teach us to ride horses." ”

Jue'er was also happy when she heard this, but in the end she was two years older than Jiulang, and she was much more stable, so she just smiled and asked, "My father really agreed?" ”

Jiu Lang patted Jue'er on the shoulder, rolled his eyes and said, "You still don't believe Uncle Jiu's words?" ”

Jue'er said in her heart, Uncle Xiaojiu, Jue'er really didn't believe your words, and she didn't dare to say that, she just smiled and nodded.

After looking at it for a while, a few people went back to the front yard, and Banniang was looking for the eldest brother to explain that the son would go to Guzhuang Liu Xun and the father and son of the Liu family to help make the carriage, and saw Xiao Shi Niang holding the threshold of the flower hall and climbing out. Because the threshold is too high, Xiao Shi is only four years old, where can the little short fat legs step over, looking at her ridiculous appearance, Banniang laughed out loud.

Xiao Shi Niang heard the voice, looked up at her, but didn't call her to hug, just pouted, and then cried out with a "wow" without warning. Banniang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Shiniang: "Ten sisters don't cry, is there something knocking?" Where does it hurt? Hurry up and ask the eighth sister to take a look. ”

Xiao Shi Niang climbed the threshold for a long time, her hands were full of ash, so she touched Banniang's face, very scared, crying loudly, Banniang really thought that she was knocking somewhere, and saw that she was wearing a pink and tender little skirt full of ash, she didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly hugged Shi Niang to find her sister-in-law Wu, and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, take a look, if the tenth sister has knocked somewhere, why is she crying so much." ”

Xiao Shi is usually very well-behaved, and rarely listens to her crying, even when she is unsatisfactory, she just pouts. And because this child is only four years old, he is very clever, Banniang loves to tease her, but she is a dignified adult, but she is always fooled by this baby, only when a mountain is more than a mountain high, Xiao Shi is her natural nemesis, so although she likes to see her cute appearance, she rarely touches Shi Niang.

The Wu family heard Shi Niang's cry from a distance, and it was really bumpy, so he hurriedly took Xiao Shi from Banniang's hand: "Little Ten Sister, where does it hurt, tell my sister-in-law." ”

Who knew that Xiao Eleven fell into her arms, so she stopped crying, pointed at Banniang and laughed, revealing a few small teeth that had just grown, indescribably cute.

Over there, Zhu Shi heard Xiao Shi's crying at the top of his throat, and he was also busy running out of the house: "Tenth sister, my mother didn't pay attention to it, why did you run out?" Why are you crying? ”

Seeing Shi Niang pointing at Banniang again, Zhu and Wu both looked at Banniang, and couldn't help laughing, the laughing Banniang was inexplicable, Wu patted Xiao Shi's buttocks: "Little Tenth Sister, you are really naughty, look at your Eighth Sister's face." It's strange that your eighth sister ignores you on weekdays. No matter how naughty you are, your sister-in-law will spank your little ass. ”

Xiao Shi was not afraid of threats, but just giggled in his sister-in-law's arms.

Zhu was also angry and funny by her, and scolded with a smile: "I don't know who this kid is." It's really not worry-free. ”

While laughing, he wanted to take Shi Niang from Wu's hands, but Wu hurriedly turned sideways: "Mother, you go to rest first, although the tenth sister is small, it is quite heavy, don't hurt you, I'll help her wash." ”

He also instructed Banniang, who couldn't cry or laugh: "You can also go to the kitchen with me to wash your face." Look at the plaster on your face. ”

Banniang knew that she was on the girl Xiao Shi, raised her fist and glared at Xiao Shi Niang, Xiao Shi Yan hid her head in Wu's arms, that pitiful and lamentable little look, and a few people laughed again, Banniang couldn't get angry, she just felt that this little ten sisters were about to become a sperm, and I don't know what this girl looks like in the future.

After washing her face, because Wu was busy with housework, Banniang wanted to take Shi Niang away, but Shi Niang was afraid that she would beat herself, so she didn't want to go with her, so she just stood on the ground, pulled Wu's skirt, and looked at Wu with a blank eye: "Xiao Shi and sister-in-law are together, Xiao Shi is obedient and doesn't make trouble." Sister-in-law is the best. ”

Wu's own two children are boys, and they love Xiao Shi Niang on weekdays, and they are raised by their own daughters, seeing her pitiful and loving appearance, where is she willing to let her go, so he said to Banniang: "Okay, you are busy with your go, Xiao Shi Mei will stay with me, she is very well-behaved." It's not in the way. ”

Banniang was happy and relaxed, and went to find Zeng Ziye.

Zeng Ziye heard that Banniang wanted him to ride out of the city tomorrow, so he disagreed: "It's nothing for the eldest brother to ride a horse, but you are not a little girl anymore, you are also a big girl now, how can you ride on a horse with the eldest brother?" Let the neighbors see it, don't you say that our Zeng family has no rules? Didn't you say that Guzhuang Liu was not far from the city? Let's go. No more, just go alone, the big sun is hot, and the weather is hot, so you don't have to be hot. ”

When Banniang heard that Zeng Ziye was unwilling to take her, she hurriedly said: "We rushed out of the city early in the morning, and when we arrived at Uncle Liu's house, it is estimated that the sun has just come out, where can it be hot?" The eldest brother told me to go with me, I know the place, the eldest brother goes alone, and he has to ask, won't it delay the time? Besides, our family now has a horse that we don't need, it's a waste, otherwise, we lead the horse, and when we get to the outside of the city, I ride a horse, and the eldest brother walks alone, and I can walk faster, isn't it better? ”

Now Banniang is the hero of the family, and this sister is very well-behaved on weekdays, and she does a good job, and she can reduce a lot of housework for her daughter-in-law, Zeng Ziye also loves her, and it is difficult for Banniang to go out on weekdays, seeing that she wants to go so much, she will not bear it, and said with a smile: "That's also done, but it's not easy to ride a horse, and we don't have a saddle at home, I will ask your sister-in-law to make a thick cotton pad when I turn around, and you will use it first tomorrow." ”

Banniang saw that Zeng Ziye agreed, so she took Zeng Ziye's arm and shook it, and her eyes smiled like a winding crescent: "I know that the eldest brother is the best, don't bother the sister-in-law about the cotton pad, the sister-in-law is in charge of the family's housework, and she is tired enough, Banniang will find the seventh sister to do it by herself." ”

Waiting for Banniang to find Qi Niang, saying that she would make a thick cotton pad, and it would be easy to ride a horse tomorrow, Qi Niang reached out and nodded her forehead: "You don't make people worry, and our family spoils you like this, and then you don't accept your temperament, and when you get to your in-law's house in the future, see what you do?" You haven't ridden a horse, so what if you fall? Big brother is really, and he even allowed you. ”

"Sister, don't worry, our Great Song Kingdom doesn't stipulate that women are not allowed to ride horses, I also heard from the seventh brother-in-law when I was in Linchuan, many young ladies in Linchuan Mansion are used to playing polo, so they are not allowed to ride horses? Don't have great riding skills? I'm just riding out of town under the watchful eye of my eldest brother, and it's fine. ”

Qi Niang listened to her "Seventh Brother-in-law" screaming smoothly, blushed for a while, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Those young ladies who play polo, are they really riding horses?" It's just riding a donkey, and you take it seriously. So he went to find waste cotton and cheesecloth, and made her a thick mat, although he scolded her, but he was also distressed and worried that she had really broken the skin on her legs when she rode a horse, so he did it very carefully, but in one afternoon, he made a thick mat.

Banniang took it, and secretly went to the stable in the back garden to try it alone, although it was not as comfortable as the saddle, it was also soft, and she went back to the house and thanked Qi Niang with a smile.

Early the next morning, the brother and sister had breakfast, then packed up and went out of the city, and when they arrived outside the city, Banniang stepped on the horse, and the neat posture surprised Zeng Ziye: "Ten sisters, when did you learn to ride a horse?" ”

Shi Niang secretly regretted that when she was proud, she forgot to keep a low profile, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I secretly went to the back garden and practiced for a long time. Does the eldest brother think that Banniang is very talented in horseback riding? ”

Zeng Ziye shook his head and smiled: "No matter how naughty you are, the eldest brother will punish you when he goes back, and I don't want to think about it, this horse is also a little fierce, no one is watching from the side, in case you are kicked and injured by this animal, or fall off the horse, how can you get it?" Don't do such a risky thing next time. ”

Admitting her mistake, Banniang has always been sharp, and she is busy with the right color to promise: "Big brother, don't worry, Banniang will never dare in the future." ”

As soon as the sun jumped out of the horizon, the brother and sister had already arrived at Guzhuang Liu, looking for a way to Uncle Liu's house. knocked on the firewood door, Uncle Liu came out, and when he saw the eighth mother, he was very surprised, and said happily: "Oh, isn't this the eighth lady of the Zeng family?" Hurry in, come in. ”

Seeing a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt and a long robe behind Banniang, leading a horse, he asked with a smile: "I don't know who this gentleman is?" ”
