Chapter 106: Sloppy felt a little regretful in his heart
Qian Kun's horse arrived in front of Zhuo Songbai, adjusting his breathing, how dissatisfied he was in his heart, and now he has to face the reality, it is really "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are lined up on the beach"! I thought that the horses of the two were about the same, and he and Zhuo Songbai would not be far worse when they galloped on horseback, so at first he deliberately let his horse accelerate beyond Zhuo Songbai's mount, but he forgot to estimate that after the horse was bumpy, he also needed physical strength to match the horse's bumpy amplitude, and when the distance was not more than halfway, he was physically exhausted, and after walking for a while, he had to reduce the speed of the horse's running, and felt that he was slowly losing his previous strength.
If Zhuo Songbai hadn't suppressed the speed of his horse later, I'm afraid he would have been pulled out by others. I fell off the horse. In the end, Qian Kun could only barely keep up, and he fought mentally to support himself and did not fall off the horse.
"Uncle, we need to dismount and inspect when we get to the city gate in front, should we first dismount here and rest for a while, and then lead the horse into the city?" Zhuo Songbai wisely avoided the topic of Qian Kun's physical discomfort, and under the pretext of checking in front, he suggested that the two of them get off the horse and rest, saving face for Qian Kun.
Qian Kun understood, this is a kid to save face for himself, if he said that he would get off the horse and rest before entering the city, he was afraid that he would not accept Lao Qiang's support, so he said it so tactfully, that is, it saved him face, and he could let him rest and adjust before entering the city, and the province got the horse mansion to let the family see him so embarrassed.
"Okay, since it's going to be checked, let's get off the horse and lead it into the city." Qian Kun happily agreed, and he was next to this step.
After Qian Kun finished speaking, he grabbed the reins and dismounted.
Before Qian Kun was about to dismount, Zhuo Songbai had already taken a step ahead of him and flew lightly to dismount, and quickly came to Qian Kun's horse, and when he was halfway from the horse, Zhuo Songbai stretched out his hand behind him to protect Qian Kun's body, and thoughtfully helped him dismount.
Qian Kun was moved by Zhuo Songbai's careful movements, this young man took care of his age and body, and took care of his face, it can be seen from these subtleties that he is careful and considerate. What's more, these are all actions from his heart, and there is no element of doing it for outsiders at all.
Qian Kun is even more sure in his heart, if his daughter can marry a man like Zhuo Songbai in the future, she will definitely not suffer, a careful and considerate man like him will definitely protect his daughter-in-law in the future, and his daughter will marry such a man, he can rest assured.
After the two dismounted, they both led their horses, and with the people lining up into the city, they entered the city smoothly.
Zhuo Songbai in the process of waiting to enter the city, has been observing the location of the secret post near the city gate, these days he is disguised in the city gate and the city near the horse house, has already known the other party's people almost enough, today into the city, he quickly found the other party's arrangement of the secret post location.
After passing the city gate inspection, he was not in a hurry to get on the horse, but accompanied Qian Kun all the way to pull the horse through the market first, bought some snacks for Qian Yingying, and then got on the horse and ran all the way to the Ma family's private house, riding the horse slowly and riding over.
By the time the two arrived at the Ma family's private house, it was already almost noon.
It was not the first time that Qian Kun and Zhuo Songbai had come here, the two got off the horse, and Zhuo Songbai stepped forward to call the door. Soon, the new servant of the Ma family came over and opened the door.
"Are the two of you Master Qian and Zhuo Yingying?" A small servant at the door opened the door, and saw two men, an old man and a young man, standing outside the door, both of whom were holding horses and standing outside the door, so he asked.
"Qian is the general's master, and this is Zhuo Yingying." Qian Kun nodded yes, knowing in his heart that this little guy asked like this, it was estimated that Ma Xiaotian Feige had passed the book, so he would answer his question with a smile.
When the little girl heard this, the two of them matched what they had explained in the letter to their master, and hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the two of them in, "Two of you, please come in!" My master came back early in the morning, saying that the two masters set off early this morning, and it is estimated that they should arrive at this time, and my housekeeper sent me to wait for the two of them here for more than a long time. ”
This little guy was just brought over by Ma Furong the day before, so naturally he didn't know Qian Kun and the others, but this guy was very clever, and he knew that the person who the master specially sent a message to Ma Sloppy to entertain must be a distinguished guest at home. He didn't dare to slack off on Qian Kun and the others. opened the door to greet the two of them diligently, and stepped forward to take the reins of the two of them, "Please come in, and I will lead you two to the back stable." ”
Qian Kun and Zhuo Songbai are not the first time to come to the house, so they are naturally familiar with the layout of the courtyard, but out of politeness to the master, especially the courtyard is now mostly female dependents, so the two did not rush into the house by themselves, but stood in the door, waiting for the little maid to tie the horse and then take them in.
When he was waiting for the little girl, he hurriedly ran out of the yard in small steps.
Seeing the two people waiting at the door, Lao Yuan greeted him: "Oh, the two masters have worked hard, worked hard!" ”
A little chubby and sloppy, just trotting a few steps has made him a little breathless, and the weather is a little hot, making his chubby face even more ruddy, Qian Kun looked at the oncoming sloppy, and jokingly joked with him: "Steward Ma, don't be in a hurry, go slowly, they are all old acquaintances, why are you so polite today?" You also ran out to meet the old man in person. ”
"Oh, Master Qian, don't make fun of me, our young lady came to Youzhou yesterday and brought a lot of helpers, and there were a lot more people in the house all of a sudden" Ma Sloppy mentioned that Miss brought so many people, it was both happy and headache, so many people came to Youzhou's mansion to help, it was originally a sloppy job, and it was shared a lot, he should naturally be happy, but the headache is that the side courtyard where the servants in the house live is not big, and it is not as big as the Mafu Mansion in Chang'an, and there are several places where the servants live, I can place a lot of maids.
Before, Ma Huo and Xiao Cui lived together, and the empty room was enough, but yesterday there were more than 20 men and women, so many servants, so that the spacious side courtyard on weekdays suddenly became crowded, this person has more mouths, in fact, it is not a good thing, Ma Huo regretted writing to his father to say that there were not enough people.
"This morning, the general sent me a letter, saying that you and Young Master Zhuo were coming, and the young lady immediately ordered us to prepare, the two of us have already cleaned up the room, I will take the two of you to the room to rest first, and after working hard all the way, we will wash first, and then we will prepare for dinner."
Sloppy and attentive smiled, the two of them went to the backyard to clean up the place, the second courtyard was originally where Qian Yingying and Xiaocui lived, but Qian Kun and Zhuo Songbai are both men, although they are Qian Yingying's father and brother and sister relationship, but it is really inappropriate to live in the same yard, so early in the morning, Xiaocui and Qian Yingying have moved to Sanjin Courtyard, and Tang Haitang and Ma Furong live in the same courtyard.
The second entry into the courtyard was left to Qian Kun and Zhuo Songbai to live.
