Chapter 32: Change
In the courtyard of Xu's mansion, Xu Ya looked at the two master and servant who had sworn in front of him, and asked again: "Miss, are you really determined to learn to ride a horse?" ”
Xu Yao on the side hurriedly said: "Uncle Xu, the young lady has said three times that she wants to learn to ride a horse with you, why don't you believe it?" ”
Xu Qinghe asked again very seriously, "Is Uncle Xu willing to teach me?" ”
Xu Ya said: "Miss really wants to learn, so I will really teach you." ”
Xu Qinghe hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu." ”
"However, Miss needs to get fit first and then learn to ride a horse." Xu Ya said slowly.
"It's nature. I also asked Uncle Xu to advise him carefully, and Qinghe will definitely do it. Xu Qinghe said.
Returning from riding a horse with the county magistrate before, she was so upset that her internal organs were mixed together, the pain was unbearable, her legs trembled when she got off the horse, and her physical strength was exhausted, and it was difficult to move forward.
On the other hand, the county magistrate does not change his face and behaves freely. Whether it is a three-thousand-step stone step or a fast horse galloping, the county commander is at ease, energetic, and full of physical strength.
With a strong physique, a majestic figure, and a dignified appearance, such a person with a dragon and phoenix posture, coupled with a prominent family background, how can a woman like her be worthy?
"Strengthening the body is not a day's work, it can only be effective over time." Xu Ya said, looking around the courtyard, "Miss runs around this yard twenty times every morning, and after half a month, I will take Miss to the horse farm." ”
Xu Qinghe nodded in response, "What Uncle Xu said is that I will first increase my physical strength, and then learn to ride a horse." It's a pity that Xufu is a small place and can't run horses. Otherwise, you can save a lot of money. ”
There are only two or three horse farms in Meizhou City, and the rent is expensive.
Xu Ya said with a smile: "If Miss wants to save money, it is better to buy a horse and come back, and then take you to practice in the suburbs, and you don't have to rent silver to go to the horse farm." ”
"Good! That bothered Uncle Xu to buy a few good horses. Let's go to the outskirts of the city to run horses! Xu Qinghe said happily.
Xu Yao, who was puzzled on the side, asked, "Miss, aren't there a few carriages in the house?" Can't the horse that pulls the cart ride? ”
Xu Ya said: "Naturally, you can ride." But the horsepower is not as good as the good horse. ”
Xu Qinghe nodded and agreed: "If you go out on horseback in the future, you will definitely have to match a horse." ”
Xu Yao looked at Miss in surprise, why did she suddenly become generous? A good horse is worth a thousand gold!
"Then this matter will bother Uncle Xu, and you will go to the account to pay as much money as you need." Xu Qinghe said with a smile, "I have to go out today, so I don't need Uncle Xu to follow, Ah Yao can accompany me." ”
"Okay, Miss is out and about." Xu Ya responded.
Xu Qinghe nodded with a smile and went out of the house with a dazed Xu Yao.
The two went to Quanpinju first, and as soon as they entered, they were shocked by the full shelves.
Wang Zhitong greeted him and smiled: "Sister Xu, what's wrong?" ”
"Brother Wang, this... That's too much! The variety is amazing! Xu Qinghe said in surprise.
Wang Zhitong saw her surprised appearance and felt very interesting, "Didn't Sister Xu forget what this shop is calling?" The whole product house, naturally to have a complete variety, otherwise wouldn't it be worthy of the name? ”
Xu Qinghe looked at some vegetable foods that he couldn't even name, and admired Wang Zhitong more and more in his heart. He praised from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Wang is really a god! ”
Wang Zhitong couldn't get excited when she praised her a lot, beckoned her to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said: "The twenty-fifth of this month is an auspicious day for opening, what does Xu Mei think?" ”
Xu Qinghe took the teacup with both hands and replied: "Since everything in the shop is available, then the door will be opened on the 25th!" ”
Xu Mei also agreed, and the day was set. Wang Zhitong said with a smile.
Xu Qinghe said: "On the day of opening, I booked a table at Dongyue Restaurant, and invited Brother Wang to enjoy it." ”
Wang Zhitong responded happily: "Sister Xu is the east, how can there be no reason not to go!" When the time comes, I will bring my family and eat a good meal. Xu Mei has to bring enough money! Don't be shy and let me pay for the money! ”
"Little sister must bring enough silver taels, even if Brother Wang brings seven aunts and eight uncles, he must take care of enough!" Xu Qinghe assured.
Wang Zhitong laughed.
The two then discussed some trivial matters about the opening of the shop, and when it was close to noon, Xu Qinghe took Xu Yao to leave Quanpinju, and the two went directly to Su Mansion for lunch, but they didn't think that Su Jingshu would also return to Su Mansion today.
In the main hall, Su Zhe looked at the two juniors, knowing that they had come to accompany him on purpose, and said calmly: "You are busy with yourself, you don't have to come over to accompany me." ”
Xu Qinghe grinned and said, "I'm worried about my uncle's dishes, and I came in smelling the fragrance." ”
Su Jingshu smiled, "Looking at my cousin's tired appearance of climbing the mountain yesterday, I thought that my cousin would have to lie at home for four or five days to recover." I didn't expect it to be alive today. ”
Xu Qinghe sighed: "I'm ashamed. Although my cousin looks weak, her physical strength is much better than mine. I don't know how my cousin usually exercises? ”
Su Jingshu said with a smile: "In the past, when I invited my cousin to play a game, my cousin was always unhappy. Now you've tasted the bitter fruit, right? ”
Xu Qinghe suddenly, her cousin often played games such as wooden shooting, shuttlecock, and flower rope, but because she was not interested, she rarely played together.
Su Zhe stroked his beard and said: "Qinghe, you are now in charge of the Xu family's business, if you don't have a good body, I'm afraid that you will be weak." ”
Xu Qinghe hurriedly nodded and was taught, "That's what Uncle said." I have planned to exercise every morning and learn to ride a horse with Uncle Xu. ”
Su Jingshu was surprised: "Cousin wants to learn to ride a horse?" "It's all this age, what should I do if I flash my waist?
"What? Cousin doesn't believe I can learn? Xu Qinghe asked rhetorically.
Su Jingshu smiled: "Of course...... I believe my cousin can learn. My husband recently built a new horse farm, which is wide enough for horse racing. Cousin can go there to study. ”
Xu Qinghe was pleasantly surprised: "Li Xiucai is arrogant! The horse farm has been repaired. Then I'll take Uncle Xu there to practice. ”
Su Jingshu nodded and smiled: "I'll go back and talk to my husband." The horse farm is in the forest village twenty miles outside the city. ”
Su Zhe listened on the sidelines, and asked at this time, "How many horses are there in the horse farm now?" ”
"The husband said that there are only one or twenty horses now." Su Jingshu replied, "Father, what's wrong?" ”
Su Zhe looked at his daughter dressed in gorgeous clothes and jewelry, and said in a deep voice: "You go back today, tell Bo Zhou, let him come to Su Mansion for a trip, I have something to ask him." ”
Su Jingshu looked at Su Zhe's sudden serious look, and couldn't help but panic: "Yes, father." "Could it be that the husband has other ideas for building a horse farm? What is the father going to ask him?
Xu Qinghe said with a smile: "Uncle, are you worried that your brother-in-law will squander indiscriminately?" As long as the horse farm is operated carefully, the profit is still very considerable. ”
Su Zhe looked at their ignorant appearances and said with a smile: "Your vision is still too short-sighted. Qinghe, you are different from Jingshu, and you are not confined to the deep boudoir portal. On weekdays, we should take a long-term view, and we must pay attention to one or two major national and local political affairs. Every move of the imperial court seems to be far away from you, but in fact, the influence is everywhere. ”
Xu Qinghe hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "Qinghe is taught, thank you uncle for your advice." ”
Su Zhe stroked his beard and smiled: "Sit down." I'm just going to say a couple of sentences, and I can't be pointed. The dishes are also ready, let's move the chopsticks! ”
Xu Qinghe sat down again, pondering what Su Zhe had just said.
