I tinkered all afternoon, and finally failed to make the ideal bread, so I had to give up, but it was a pity to waste the eggs and a few catties of flour, and Gu Ran knew that I wanted to make pastries but failed, her expression that seemed to be smiling was very unhappy, it was really a bad friend, if it wasn't for her pregnancy, I would definitely wipe the sticky lump on my hand on her face, and let her laugh at me.

Actually, I wanted to tell Gu Ran about the fact that I might have to leave the Ling Mansion, but seeing that she was still very excited and told me about going to the racecourse tomorrow, I didn't want to ruin her interest at this time, thinking that I would tell her after I came back from the racecourse.

At night, I actually dreamed that I fell off the horse, and was trampled on my head by the horse's hooves, this frightened me woke up, my back was covered with fine sweat, the dream was very real, as if my head was really crushed, I sat with my knees crossed, closed my eyes and told myself that I was just too nervous, but I vaguely felt that something was going to happen, but I didn't know why I was so uneasy.

Later, I fell asleep with my knees hugged, I woke up in the morning, sniffed my nose and found that I had a cold and runny nose, and sighed that my body was getting worse and worse, and I could drink until I vomited, and I could also have a runny nose just after sleeping, I was really old.

"Nan Kite, are you awake?"

It was Xiao Qi who came, I put on a coat and got out of bed to open the door, seeing Xiao Qi was holding a food box in one hand and a package in the other, I hurriedly took it and let Xiao Qi enter the house, Xiao Qi called out after entering the house, "You are so cold, why didn't you burn the stove, the weather is getting more and more cold, this is not good." ”

As soon as I heard her say it, I remembered that when I first came to Ling Mansion, Gu Ran gave me some silver charcoal, and I never used it in the corner of the house.

"I don't know how to make a stove, so I didn't make it." With an embarrassed face, he explained to Xiao Qin, but Xiao Qin's expression was a little weird, he glanced at me, and then turned around and took out the clothes and shoes in the package, "This is Miss's previous riding costume, I only wore it once or twice, you are similar to Miss, Miss asked me to bring it to you." ”

"Eh, Gu Ran thinks too highly of me, she really thinks I can win, I just beg not to fall off the horse."

Xiao Qin put the food box I put aside and put it in his hand again, "Then I'll go to serve Miss and Uncle first, you can go to the mansion and wait after breakfast, Miss will come over soon." ”

Gu Ran's riding outfit looked completely brand new, a crimson green shirt with narrow sleeves and velvet, full-length yellow trousers, and a pair of boots lined with cotton lining, which looked quite good-looking, so I quickly put it on, tied a thin ribbon around my waist, and then staggered to the back kitchen to find food.

The maids in the house didn't know where they got the news, but they all knew that I was going to compete with the guards in the house today, and they all gave me all the delicious food in the bowl, and now my bowl was full and almost fell down.

"Nan Kite, usually the guards in the mansion think they are superior, you have to help us vent our breath and let them know that our maids can also keep their eyebrows from shaved."

"That is, to extinguish their prestige."

These young ladies around me all looked at me with Qiji's eyes, I was an old female duck who was driven to the shelf at the moment, but I had to obey the public opinion, turned around and put down the big bowl in my hand, raised my arms and said, "Win and win!" ”

As a result, I started to drive violently, and everyone else followed and yelled, but a man in a guard suit walked in, and the whole back kitchen was silent, and the guard looked at me with a look of hell, and then said, "Don't you have to work around so many of you?" ”

As soon as the words were finished, a group of little sisters and brothers who had been led by me all ran away, leaving me and the guard staring at each other.

I quickly took two mouthfuls of rice, and then hurriedly ran from the back kitchen to the door of the house, but at this time Gu Ran and they were already there, and I also saw my proud and conceited master, Yan Hai.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Come and see how you ruined my reputation, I have to watch it myself before I die."

This Yan Hai, I can't say anything nice when I'm here, so I have to add a heavy punch to my already fragile heart.

"Okay, okay, are you two really masters and apprentices, the rivalry is about the same, I invited your master to be the middleman, he is a veteran after all, and he can help you." Gu Ran hurriedly adjusted between the two of us.

I looked around and didn't see anyone who wanted to compete with me, and I was about to ask, but I saw a person coming out of the house, this person is not the same guard I used to take pictures in the back kitchen, could it be that he is competing with me, obediently.

"I've seen the young lady, all the brothers in the house are busy, and all of them have sent me, the old man, the little one can do anything else, just riding skills, so the young lady, you may not necessarily lose."

This guard is too annoying to speak, and he clearly looks down on me.

"Haha, it's normal to win and lose, but people who lose are not allowed to cheat, so let's go, but you have to be considerate of me, a pregnant woman, let's take a carriage."

My Lord Gu Ran, haven't you seen the situation clearly until now, alas, I secretly raised my forehead and sighed, I hope it would be good not to lose too badly, as for face, I can afford to lose it, and face is worthless.

"The little one will go to the horse farm first and wait for the young lady and this girl." After saying that, I don't know where he conjured up the horse, and then rode away, leaving me in the wind to eat a mouthful of sand.

Yan Hai looked at me and was embarrassed to hit me again, so he patted me on the shoulder, "It's your master, I'll help you go to the horse farm to pick up a horse first, you are sure to lose this time, but there is a teacher, at least you can lose less miserably." ”

Then I saw that my master rode his fast horse and galloped away, and I almost ate a mouthful of sand, are these people who can ride horses like this?

"Nan Kite, you can do it, believe in yourself, let's go!" Gu Ran's words didn't comfort me at all, so I had to laugh miserably, and then got into the carriage and went to the horse farm.

When I arrived at the racecourse, I saw that the master was holding the horse that Gu Ran had given me, and I happily ran up and touched its head, and it was very happy to see me, and stretched out its tongue to lick the palm of my hand.

"I've said hello to the people at the racecourse, they're getting ready inside, you just have to get on the horse later, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you know?"

Yan Hai suddenly became so good to me, I was really uncomfortable, so I had to nod my head honestly, Gu Ran had already chosen a place with the best view in the racecourse with Xiao Qi to rest, and the people who were going to compete with me were actually dozing, it seemed that he really didn't look down on me at all.

As the saying goes, sharpen the gun in battle, not fast and light, I rode the horse that I sold on the horse and hurriedly walked around the racecourse, it felt good, there was no discomfort, then it seems that this race is absolutely no problem to go through the motions.

The whole race is about 2,000 kilometers, the people on the racecourse simply set up a few barriers, and then put a basin of sand at the starting and finishing positions, the rule is very simple, when I start with my opponent each hold a red flag, reach the finish line and pull out the white flag at the end of the line, and then bury the red flag in my hand, the exchange of positions is completed, and the first to return to the starting point wins.

It's not easy at all, right, I thought it was just a ride on a horse, and I had to add this link to the already difficult royal horse, which was simply my life.

Before getting on the horse, Yan Hai explained to me, "You can just take care of the royal horse later, and give up the flag, otherwise you will definitely fall off the horse." ”

"But in this case, I will still lose."

"Your master, I never thought you would win, you honestly passed the other barriers, so at least you won't lose too much, you know."

I had no choice but to listen to his advice, and when I got on my horse, I took the reins in one hand and the red flag in the other, and at the sound of the command, I ran out with the guard's horse, which seemed to know that this was a race, and could catch up with the guard's horse, but only half a horse's body, and the guard looked back at me as if he were riding and looking back defiantly.

Sure enough, after a while, his horse threw off at least two horses far away, and saw that he had already completed the exchange of flags in the sand basin in front, but then he did not pull the horse and ran back, but rode further ahead, and it was obvious that he was deliberately humiliating me, deliberately lengthening the race, and then quickly overtaking me after I turned around, and he wanted me to lose all my face.

Originally, I had already decided to listen to Yan Hai's advice, and when I arrived at the flag, I would give up the task directly, turn the horse's head and rush back, but now I was stubborn, and I didn't believe it.

When I was about to get to the place where the flag was placed, I lowered my body, suspended half of myself in the air, and then slammed the red flag in my hand down, and then the horse was a little uncomfortable, and it suddenly neighed, and I hurriedly sat down and dragged it with the reins, and it struggled for a while, and then quieted down, and at this time the guard also drove the horse back, and I didn't care much, so I bent down and pulled down the white flag in the sand basin, and I actually did it, and I actually did it.

When I sat down again and was about to ride quickly, I heard the sound of the man behind me turning on his back, and turned to see that the guard's horse had fallen him for some unknown reason, and I saw that the horse's foot was bitten by a trap, and he could not break free.

I quickly turned the horse, quickly came to the guard's side, saw the guard in pain lying on the ground unable to move, I also had the experience of being thrown by the horse, knowing that feeling, I got off the horse and was about to save people, but unexpectedly, the horse that was originally injured actually raised its front hooves, and was about to fall down and kick me in the head.
