When James arrived at the Governor's Palace, he was discussing with several officials about the holding of the Games, and when he saw me coming, James asked his men to step down first, and then asked me, "Do you want to ask about the morning?" ”

I said angrily, "Since you know the purpose of my visit, let's explain it well, right?" Why did you tell Prince Charles that I would ride a horse? ”

"Alas", James sighed, and said with a very pity look: "I always thought that you were very smart and should be able to understand my good intentions, but if you ask this now, you should not understand." ”

"Your good intentions? What are you going to do? Still puzzled, I asked.

"I have a four-component red winery, so I naturally hope that the winery is as profitable as possible, but at present, although we have obtained a trade license with the Oprah Empire, and you have also reached a trade agreement with the islands of the Golden Islands, it is still not enough, we need a bigger market, we need more trade licenses. Duke Jackson looks like he's helping you, but he's a high-powered man with a lot of industries, and it's hard to say how much he can put into this distillery, so we have to find more ways to help us open up the market. ”

"But the problem is that this Prince Charles is not interested in politics, he only loves artistic cultivation, how can he help us open up more markets?"

"Although Prince Charles is not interested in politics, he is a member of the royal family after all, just like Duke Jackson, although he is a duke, he is an outsider to the royal family after all. If Prince Charles is willing to help us, then we will have a chance to get more trade licenses, and we will not have to rely entirely on Duke Jackson for everything. ”

"Then why should Prince Charles help us? His promise to help us get back to the propaganda may have been just a polite remark. ”

"Prince Charles loves artistic accomplishments, but the works of art he likes are expensive, in order to ensure his artistic preferences, so he needs a stable and sufficient source of funds, as a royal nobleman, the prince can receive a sum of money on a regular basis, but is it enough? Far from enough! And because Prince Charles has no interest in politics, there are naturally no businessmen who are willing to spend money on him, at this time, if we can take the initiative to show our hospitality, do you think His Royal Highness the Prince will be interested? ”

"So you're lying that I'm going to ride a horse too? Do you think Prince Charles will accept our hospitality because of this? ”

"Of course it won't be that easy, although the prince is not interested in politics, but the basic political sensitivity is still there, he can't get a trade license for someone he doesn't know, and your contact with him now is only the first step, it will take a process. But if you don't even have a chance to get to know him, then nothing can be done. ”

"But I don't know how to ride a horse at all, isn't it easy to show off?"

"There are still two days before the official start of the competition, you can take this opportunity to practice hard, I have already found an equestrian coach for you, you don't have to do anything in these two days, concentrate on assault equestrian practice."

"Your uncle, can't you discuss it with me beforehand? At least find a sport that I'm good at? ”

"I also made a temporary decision at that time, and besides, we are going to vote for the prince, what's the use of you being good at the prince and not interested?"

When James asked, I was really speechless, I coughed embarrassedly twice and changed the subject and said: "This time, because of the arrival of Prince Charlie, Duke Jackson asked me to prepare a hundred cases of rum, so that I can't guarantee the supply of the Golden Islands, do you have any good ideas?" ”

James shook his head: "I can guarantee that even if Duke Jackson is on the island, he can cover your goods and quietly transport them out, but how to increase production capacity depends on your own way." ”

After talking about all this nonsense, I asked James to call the equestrian coach quickly, and for me, who has never ridden a horse before, it would be good to practice for a minute and a second.

But who knew that James smiled and said to me, "The equestrian instructor is not in the Governor's Palace, she is in your house now." ”

"In my home?" I looked at James with a confused expression: "What do you mean?" Why did you send an equestrian instructor to my house? ”

James shook his head: "You are right, I didn't send her to your house, but she lived in your house herself." ”

"Living in my house itself?" The more James talked, the more evil it became, and I thought about the home he said should refer to the winery, and now in the winery, in addition to the Rockefeller technicians and workers, it is Long Xin'er and them, where are there any equestrian instructors? I said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any equestrian instructors?" ”

"Of course, it's a woman, and it's a female coach who is very familiar with you."

"You're not talking about Long Xin'er, are you?" I asked uncertainly.

"Well", James nodded, "After I came back from the inspection with His Royal Highness the Prince in the morning, I kept thinking of where to find an equestrian instructor for you, and I really couldn't think of a suitable person after thinking about it, and then one of my subordinates reminded me, isn't your wife Long Xin'er from the distant Eastern Empire, where people are said to be good at equestrianism, so I immediately went to the winery, and after meeting Long Xin'er, I inquired about it, she really knows how to ride a horse!" In this way, isn't she the most suitable person? ”

"But Long Xin'er may not be willing?"

"She's your lady, why wouldn't she? Besides, I've already told her, and she didn't disagree, huh? ”

Long Xin'er as my equestrian coach? She took me on a horse? When you're tired of riding, you snuggle up to each other on horseback and stroll on the beach in the sunset? It's pretty beautiful to think about that picture, but if it reaches An An's ears, I won't be able to eat and walk around, besides, after the last incident, Long Xin'er has basically rarely talked to me these days, we obviously have our own thoughts but no one picks up their heads to say it, how embarrassing it would be if we rode a horse together.

After returning to the winery, I saw Long Xin'er galloping in the open space at the door on a horse from a distance, with a full smile on her face, and a silver-like laugh from time to time, like a child who has bought a favorite toy.

Long Xin'er rode on horseback and whipped her horse, and the workers of the distillery and the spectacled men from the tobacco company next door all ran out to watch, and from time to time people applauded Long Xin'er's superb skills.

Seeing me come back, the man with glasses took the initiative to come over and said, "I heard about your signing up for the equestrian competition." ”

I laughed at myself and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I just found out this morning." ”

The man with glasses looked at me, "I didn't expect it, I always thought you were quite upright, if you were an official, you must be a clean official, but I didn't expect that you would actually make a sycophant to do what you like." ”

"Alas", I sighed, "No way, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes!" I'll tell you the truth, I don't even know how to ride a horse. ”

"What are you afraid of? Don't you have a lady who is skilled in equestrianism? Speaking of this, the man with glasses suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This lady of yours is not simple. ”

"Of course it's not simple, I was almost beaten to death for her last time, can she be simple?" I don't know what the man with glasses means, so he deliberately babbles.

"Then what's the matter, if I secretly send someone to investigate her, you shouldn't have any opinion?" The man with glasses asked.

"Of course not!" I shook my head and said, "I want to know more than you what her secrets are, and if you find anything, you must tell me." ”
