Qin Xun glanced at the row of horses tied up in the stables beside him: "It's okay." ”

Qin Ao glared at him dissatisfied, and asked sharply, "Will it or won't?" ”

Qin Xun looked cold: "Yes." ”

"Pick one." Qin Ao motioned to the horse supervisor who accompanied him to follow his grandson, and added, "All the horses in this stable are new horses, they have not been domesticated and obedient, they pick their own, and they are not allowed to change them again, and they will not be able to run or fall you down later, so they will have to suffer by themselves." ”

Qin Xun responded and walked all the way down the entire row of stables, stroking a handful of manes to each horse, or feeding a few mouthfuls of food, and finally the Lao Ma Jian took out a horse with a pitch-black body and only four snow-white hooves, took the reins from the horse supervisor and led him to his grandfather's place.

Qin Ao glanced at the horse he had brought with him, and his expression was noncommittal: "Do you like the appearance of such dark clouds and snow?" ”

"Temperament comes first, and appearance comes second." Qin Xun held the reins in one hand and stroked the dark clouds stepping on the snow-black satin-like mane with the other, "I probed these horses one by one along the row, and it is not advisable to be untamed and cowardly, but this dark cloud stepping on the snow, calm and caressing, and want to get close to respond, warm but courageous, the most suitable for me." ”

"Just know what you're choosing, get on the horse." Qin Ao said this as if he meant something, took the reins from the horse supervisor on the side, stroked the brown and red steed that he was used to riding when he came to the Lin Yuan Horse Farm, and turned over neatly.

Qin Xun followed closely and turned over on the horse, and the dark cloud under him stepped on the snow gently, carrying him to catch up with the speed of his grandfather in front.

Qin Xun is not good at riding and shooting, just riding the technique of trotting around, and the grandfather in front of him is silently riding a horse faster and faster, obviously signaling him to follow, he has to grit his teeth and chase the dark clouds and snow to keep up, fortunately, his vision is good, the dark clouds and snow under him are very angry, although he is not domesticated, but he has not yet been embarrassed by him.

Walking into the forest, Qin Xun still had time to take a look at the surrounding situation, and a faint sense of familiarity came to him, and he almost immediately remembered that this place was when he was ten years old when he went to the forest to hunt, and he was following his uncle Lin Yi and his cousin Qi Jing to branch here, and was attacked by assassins secretly instructed by the emperor.

After a slight distraction, the grandfather in front of him shouted a word of "catch" and threw the bow and quiver backwards, Qin Xun was shocked, and subconsciously took it with an empty hand, even if the dark clouds ran steadily in the snow, he couldn't help but fall off the horse's back at the moment of sudden loss of balance.

Apparently the grandfather had no intention of giving up, and the horse did not stop, and went deeper into the forest, and said, "There are many birds in the forest, shoot one of the arrows in your bag." ”

Qin Xun admits that he is not good at riding and shooting, let alone shooting on the back of a galloping horse, but this grandfather of the country, who rarely interacts with the family, must be an ordinary ancestor and grandson Xule this time, he must not be slack and foolish.

He spent a little time steady, and when he entered a straight road, he quickly set up his arrow and stretched his bow, and with a sharp "boom" the arrow broke through the air, and successfully shot a bird that passed through the air, and just as he was slightly relaxed, the grandfather in front of him slowed down and led him only half a horse's distance, and ordered: "Come again!" ”

As if seeing through his intention to wait for him to turn into a smooth straight road and then open his bow to shoot, Qin Ao frowned, pulled the reins and deviated his horse's head, and forcibly turned the direction of Qin Xun's forward into a potholed and winding path, and urged without stopping: "Archery!" ”

Qin Xun naturally knew that his grandfather was deliberately embarrassed this time, he was unwilling and unable to show weakness and beg for mercy, gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain his balance, and once again aimed his arrow and bow at the sky.

Shot a few arrows in a row, in the middle Qin Ao also deliberately pulled the reins to block his steps in the dark clouds and snow, and finally when there was still one arrow left, the previous arrow grazed the wings of a bird, causing it to fall to the ground unbalanced, but because it only wiped off the feathers on the wings, the injury was not serious, and the bird fluttered desperately on the ground a few times, but it flew up tremblingly again, and went straight to the branches and leaves.

Qin Xun stopped with his grandfather and followed the horse, and the grandfather and grandson stayed on the horse, and Qin Ao threw the bowstring in front of him trembled slightly.

"If you have murderous intentions, why not kill them all, beware of the endless troubles caused by temporary compassion." Qin Ao hung the bow back on the side of the horse's neck and the quiver, looked at the arrow left in the quiver that his grandson picked up on the way to hang on the horse's neck, and said, "It's okay." The words seemed to be approving, but the words were neither positive nor negative.

Sure enough, Qin Ao pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, took a few steps forward and was level with Qin Xun's side, turned his head sideways and looked at him and said: "It's okay, but it's far from enough, you have to be flat and self-controlled, and the arrows can be calmly entered the world." ”

Here in the dense forest, the branches and leaves are almost obscured, the forest breeze is cool, and the thin sweat that seeps out of the forehead when Qin Xun is focused on tension when he rides and shoots all the way to the horse evaporates, Qin Xun also hangs the empty bow in his hand back to the side of the horse's neck, wipes the sweat beads that flow to his cheeks, and laughs: "If I shot the arrow in the bag just now and still didn't hit the second bird, what does my grandfather want?" ”

"What is it? It's just that according to your own words, I told you to kneel for the old man for a few hours. Qin Ao snorted coldly, and his right hand holding the horsewhip pointed to the dead bird corpse on the ground that had finally been shot down by himself, "In the old man's place, it is already light, but in the place of others, if you shoot the arrow in the bag and still haven't succeeded, then you Qin Weizhi will turn into a prey under the arrows of others, defenseless and slaughtered." ”

On the way back, Qin Xun also followed his grandfather all the way and beat his horse gently, driving out the speed of unhurried, and gradually returning to the woody sunrise along this dense forest, Qin Xun only followed the hunting for the first time when he was ten years old, and ended in panic, the hunting ground in the forest garden was mostly strange and novel, Qin Ao did not talk to his grandson, and told him a few words about the hunting in the forest that he was familiar with along the way back, and the two of them were like a group of filial piety and happiness, and they tacitly did not mention the estrangement and incompatibility in the past sixteen years.

After leaving the forest and returning to the racecourse, both of them handed their horses back into the hands of the horse warden who took care of the horses in Shanglin Garden.

Qin Ao left a word with Lin Chu before taking Qin Xun out, and no longer went back to the house to greet her, so this time he went straight to find the car of Anguo Mansion that he had taken at this time this morning, and Qin Xun accompanied Zu all the way

Father, put your grandfather in the carriage.

"After this is over, you don't have to bother to come to the house to kneel for the old man." Qin Ao didn't get into the car, and then lifted the curtain and looked at the grandson who had not left next to the car, it was actually Qin Xun's memory since he was a child, and his grandfather rarely showed a smile when he met him.

The old man's deep voice said slowly: "In the past, the old man was not willing to admit it, and he never told anyone, in fact, compared to the temperament of the Lin family, you kid is still more like the Qin family, and among your brothers and sisters, you are the most like the old man." ”

Qin Xun smiled and saluted, and only said lightly: "Grandfather walks slowly." ”

The car of the Anguo Mansion drove away in dust, Qin Xun stood in place and looked at it from a distance, and said in his heart that his grandfather just looked at his grandson, who did not have much contact, into his eyes, and his temperament in the world may be extremely similar to his grandfather, but when he is in love, he may still be more like the Lin family.

On such a trip today, his grandfather Qin Ao did not mention the word "court" in half a sentence, but his grandfather and grandson tacitly knew that Qin Ao was using the matter of riding and shooting to give Qin Xun some experience tips for the seniors of the court and the elders of the family.

This Shanglin hunting ground, Qin Xun at the age of ten almost died here, but also picked up his life here, although now it is unspeakably expensive under the favor, he must not heal the scar and forget the pain, the side can forget, this matter can't, can never forget the hidden killing machine secretly under the favor of the superior under the false and real half, and can never forget the hard work and price paid by the people close to him when they tried to protect him.

He is not good at it, but in the future, others will not let him go because he is not good at anything, and when he is forced to go into battle, act hard, and be tripped by others, he always wants him to respond to the opportunity in those stalls, which is no different from his grandfather Qin Ao forcing him to do his bad riding and archery on the potholed forest road.

The party struggle in the court is not a child's play, Qin Xun did a few days ago, because he chose the three princes to return to the city in such a flamboyant manner, and he will be honored and disgraced in the future. And he only relied on his immature age and skill, and hurriedly entered the court, and had to deal with all kinds of temptations and calculations when he was not very mature.

However, it seems that his grandfather's behavior does not blame him much, and he can be 16 years old to get involved in the court.

Also, no matter how you say it when you are young, now that you are older, the old man's heart will always become more and more peaceful, and I think that my grandfather has been strong for most of his life, and now he also has some thoughts such as children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

When Qin Xun returned to the room where his mother was resting, Qi Jing was smiling and saying something to Lin Chu, who always respected his military position with a few courtesies and thoughtfulness in the past, but today he looked closer and closer. But it was Lin Chu who looked at his son when Qin Xun stepped into the door, and his gaze was mixed with some indescribable strangeness.

Qin Xun smiled and went to Qi Jing: "But you have to check to see if I have it."

Didn't get beaten up by the old man? ”

"What nonsense, don't be disrespectful to An Guogong casually." Qi Jing tapped him on the forehead, pulled him over and sat down beside him, and said to Lin Chu, "Can we still have dinner at my mother's place today?" ”

Lin Chu bowed: "It's okay." ”

“…… What do you call my mother? Qin Xun suspected that he had misheard.

Qi Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled as a matter of course: "Since it is a marriage, the two families should be filial, and I should naturally call General Lin my mother, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Xun: "......"

So Qi Jing said that he would accompany him to Lin Yuan today and talk to his mother about something, just to tell Lin Chu that the two of them had married Longyang?

On the day of marriage, Qi Jing took Qin Xun to worship the spiritual seat of the first filial piety queen Qu Peilan, Qin Xun knelt down and called her mother, there was nothing else to think, after all, the filial piety queen has passed away for many years, she will not be surprised or surprised in the world, or the same or opposed, but Qi Jing and Qin Xun in the spirit of filial piety for their children, informed her of the joy of marriage, Qin Xun did not think of telling the two surviving fathers and ancestors to know about it, only about the two of his cousins on weekdays to be close to describe everywhere has long been used to it, It is not clear that they have actually become a love partner, and it is not much different to say it, but it is troublesome to say it, who knew that Qi Jing came here so efficiently to tell Lin Chu bluntly.

Qin Xun cautiously glanced at the look on his mother's face opposite, and sure enough, seeing that his eyebrows were frowning a little, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly guessed that Qi Jing wouldn't have completely persuaded his mother to accept it, right? No, just now Qi Jing called his mother, and said that he wanted to have dinner, and his mother was ready to give birth, what was his mother thinking about at this time?

Lin Chu looked back and forth several times between the two beautiful young men of the same age sitting opposite him, and I have to say that putting aside gender concerns, these two are indeed extremely compatible, of course, even if they are both men, their son and the third highness of the Qi family are still very compatible.

She thought about it in her heart, it always belongs to the Qin family, her husband Qin Zhenhai has many sons under his knees, and even his grandson is four years old, and her younger brother Lin Yi at the end of the Lin family also has a wife and children, and the incense of the two families is fine. Originally, his marriage with King Ping Qi Ge in this life was already determined and sad, and he had tasted half of his life for the love pain of being unwilling to love, and he had tasted it thoroughly, and it was inevitable that he had resented and hated the person who had deliberately intervened to block his marriage, etc., where could he bear to let the child repeat the mistakes of the past, taste the same pain again, and in the end, he may still resent his mother who ruthlessly separated them.

That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Lin Chu lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "You have grown up, you have your own ideas, you know that it's not just a mess for a while, my mother doesn't want to say much, I just look at you, the children I watched grow up, all of them are okay." However, Xun'er, and returning to the city, don't let the elders in the family know, they may not be as clear as their mother, especially Xun'er and his father. ”
