Chapter Twenty-Six: Sweet Horseback Ride, Sudden Mutation
Jin Ran felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, and she muttered in a low voice: "How can it be as exaggerated as you say." β
Fang Tianji looked at Jin Ran's shy and timid appearance, and once again felt glad that he had cleared the scene in time.
There is a large grassland behind the horse farm for people to gallop, Jin Ran is just a beginner, and today it is estimated that he is being led by people on the horse, so Fang Tianji did not close the entire horse farm and prevent others from riding horses here. It's just one area of the entire racecourse.
This is the first time Jin Ran has been to the racecourse.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt a burst of relief. Just because of the scenery of this meadow setting.
This horse farm is located in Jinling, no more than those large grasslands in the southwest, and the grass is only a shallow layer, but it has just reached the ankles. It's summer now, and there are a lot of small pink and white flowers blooming in the grassland, which are just some wild flowers and weeds, but a huge grassland, blooming in patches, is also beautiful.
The pale shade of pink adorns the turquoise meadow, and the pink, white, and red cover each other, and it is the first time that Jinran has seen such a magnificent scene.
Seeing that Jin Ran couldn't take his eyes off it, Fang Tianji on the side also lowered his voice unconsciously, his eyes were gentle: "You like the grassland very much?" β
"Hmm." Jin Ran was still looking from afar, she stood between the endless greenery, and she only felt that she was going to dissolve in the fragrance of these green grass and flowers.
"This pasture is still small, waiting for you to marry...... I'll take you to the horse farm on the prairie again. Where is more beautiful. Fang Tianji was halfway through his words, and he slurred a few words.
Jin Ran was very close to him, how could he not hear it? Her face flushed, and she glared at Fang Tianji with disgust, and she was so arrogant that she twisted her head to the other side and didn't look at him.
This powerless glare was naturally insignificant to Fang Tianji, but he was still very happy to watch the shy smile of his little fiancΓ©e.
When the two of them arrived at the stable, there were more than a dozen horses, large and small, brown and black, fat and thin, with different body and coat colors.
Jin Ran was dazzled by what she saw, she really couldn't tell what the horse was better, she couldn't help but look at Fang Tianji for help.
As for Fang Tianji, who has been in the army since he was a child, he thinks he is very familiar with these horses and harnesses, so he shoulders the heavy responsibility of choosing horses for Jinran.
He didn't choose the horses in the stable, but took Jinran to the back of the stable. On the stump behind the stable, there are two horses, one black and one white, the black one is jet-black, the fur is shiny, the limbs are even more toned and slender, the black mane flutters in the wind, and the posture is very extraordinary.
The white one, on the other hand, was covered in snow, and there was not a single stray hair on his body. The white horse was only a little shorter than the black horse, and its eyes were watery. Although it is a white horse, it is also as warlike as a black horse.
Jin Ran's eyes widened, although she didn't know the breed of horse, she also knew that this horse was not extraordinary.
Fang Tianji untied the reins of the white horse and put it in the palm of Jinran's hand: "You come and ride this horse." This horse has a docile temperament, you haven't ridden it, and it's just right to start with this horse. β
The horse worker on the side smiled and said: "Miss Sheng, you don't know, this is a horse trained by the general himself, and he picked out a lot of horses, and I don't know how many days it has been wasted just by grinding the horse's temperament!" β
"Cough-" The horse worker was the fastest, and Fang Tianji didn't have time to stop it, so he could only cough desperately.
He coughed late, and Jin Ran could hear it all clearly.
Jin Ran couldn't say what she felt in her heart, she gently touched the mane of the white horse, this horse was really as Fang Tianji said, extremely docile, and even lowered her head and gently licked Jin Ran's hand.
Jin Ran looked at Fang Tianji, who was silent on the other side, as if a handful of seeds had been sprinkled in the spring, and now the seeds had sprouted and broken the ground, arching her heart crispy and numb, and those buds seemed to have grown one small flower after another, Jin Ran seemed to be itching by those flowers, she opened her mouth, and was just about to speak-
"Ran!" A cry of surprise came.
Jin Ran could only turn back helplessly, she looked at the person who called her, it was Zhang Qi.
Jin Ran didn't expect such a coincidence, and happened to meet the Zhang sisters who came out to race horses. Zhang Qi, Zhang Zi, Bai Mo, and those concubines, all of them came.
Zhang Zi was wearing a goose yellow riding suit, with a large piece of embroidery embroidered all over the breeches, and she arrogantly took the whip and clicked it casually: "Sister Ran is good." β
Jin Ran only frowned at such uneducated behavior, and she said to Zhang Qi with a smile: "What a coincidence." You've come to this pasture too? β
Zhang Qi also laughed: "What kind of coincidence is there, the whole Jinling is such a grassland." Ah, this is your horse? She looked enviously at the reins in Jinran's hand, this horse is heroic and extraordinary, his limbs are healthy and slender, and his appearance must be a good product.
Bai Mo on the side couldn't help but come up, she likes to ride horses since she was a child, so she will come out with Zhang Zi and them today, she grabbed a handful of soybeans and fed them to Jinran's white horse: "Sister Ran, you can bring some beans with you in the future, so that the horse is willing to be closer to you." β
Jin Ran really doesn't know much about horses, and now Fang Tianji, the only one around her who understands, has already avoided the Zhang family girl when she appeared, and at this time, seeing that Bai Mo said that the head is the Tao, she is naturally willing to humbly ask for advice.
Zhang Zi had already run to the pasture, and she had also fostered a brown horse here, and she had already ridden away at this time. And Bai Mo was reluctant to turn over the horse after feeding her bag of soybeans, she was just riding an ordinary horse in the horse farm, but her equestrian skills were not bad, and she gradually caught up with Zhang Zi.
Zhang Zi was unceremonious to this Bai Mo who was walking side by side with her, she whipped Bai Mo's horse, and the horse was taken aback, so Bai Mo didn't pull Bai Mo off even if she pulled it.
That Zhang Zi saw that Bai Mo was so angry that he scolded even more, and even people like Jin Ran, who was some distance away from them, could hear it clearly: "Are you sick?" Just deliberately ran ahead of me? Now that the eldest lady of the Sheng family is here, why don't you stick to her? Still coming and following me? β
This is very wrong, and the people around her frowned slightly, but Zhang Zi still looked dissatisfied, but in the end, she still managed to restrain herself, and in the end, she glared at Bai Mo viciously and left.
Zhang Zi's failure to go online surprised everyone.
Bai Mo bit and bit a little red lip before she couldn't hold back her tears. Jin Ran watched from behind, and just sighed, she had already said a lot, and if she said more, it was estimated that Bai Mo would think that she was provoking her relationship with the Zhang family.
In the end, Jin Ran also got on the horse and rode towards the grassland where Fang Tian's halberd was packed.
Fang Tianji had been waiting for Jin Ran inside for a long time. He wore a pure black riding suit with dark lines embroidered with silver thread. The neatly tailored outfit flattered his gibbon waist.
Fang Tianji gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs and stepped forward: "Jinran, you are riding well now." β
Jin Ran was far from being as relaxed as she looked, and in order to keep her horse in shape, she was close to full strength.
Jin Ran glared at Fang Tianji angrily: "How can it be as easy as you say, ah-"
Before she finished speaking, the white horse tiptoed excitedly, the horse's movements were not big, but Jin Ran had been in a state of high tension, so this also scared her a lot, she screamed on the horse: "Fang Tianji-you stop it!" Hurry up and hold this horseβ"
Fang Tianji couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Jin Ran's nervous appearance from the side.
He got down and grabbed the reins of the white horse, gently stroked the white horse's head, and said with a smile: "Don't keep calling it a horse, give it a name, so that in the future, this horse will be more well-behaved." β
Jin Ran was still frightened when she sat on the horse, but when she heard the name and might make the horse obedient, she was very happy: "Yes, after all, this is the horse you gave me, what is it called?" Cher? Bai'er? β
Jin Ran pondered for a long time, and kept muttering in his mouth: "These names are too ordinary. β
She turned her eyes around on the horse, but at some point, her eyes met Fang Tianji, who had been looking at her gently, and blurted out a name: "Frost Pear!" Let's call it Frost Pear! β
The frost is as white as snow, and the pear blossoms are as pure as frost. Moreover, after she was reborn, her first meeting with Fang Tianji was under the pear blossoms.
Pear blossoms all the way, a lifetime of Jinran.
This is also the best expectation of Fang Tianji's life in his heart.
Giving the horse a nice name, Jin Ran also became more interested in horseback riding.
Although she is not very good at it, there is a Fang Tianji by her side who has been dealing with horses for ten years and is skilled in bowing horses.
It was more than enough for him to teach Jinran to ride a horse. Jinran is also a serious and humble good student, two people learn one by one, and teach by one, which makes Jinran progress rapidly.
After a while, Jin Ran was able to ride the frost pear on this grassland and trot all the way. Although it is still not as good as Miss Zhang's superb riding skills over there, it can be regarded as gratifying progress.
Jin Ran practiced for a while, but her self-confidence came back a lot, and Shuangli was inexplicably excited today, so she smiled and challenged Fang Tianji: "General Fang, do you dare to accept the little girl's challenge today and compete with me?" β
Fang Tianji's eyebrows bent: "Okay." Mrs. General, today let's see who has more equestrian skills, the general or the general's wife! β
Jin Ran made his shameless remarks blush, she shyly took the lead in waving the horsewhip, and Shuangli suddenly rushed out.
The feeling of galloping on the horse farm is incomparable, Jinran has never felt so happy, the endless green grassland and the blue sky seem to have no end, the whistling wind passes through the ears, there is no need to worry about sorrow, there is no need to think of sorrow-
Jin Ran finally understood why so many people like to ride horses so much, because horseback riding is so - free.
However, in just a moment, a sudden change occurred.
