Chapter 22: The Horror of the Racecourse
When I went to the dining hall late, there weren't many people inside.
Fortunately, there was plenty of food, and I finished eating and chose a more marginal position, almost just after eating, when the chime and drum sounded, it should be the time for class.
In the afternoon, it was Wu Fuzi's class, and as usual, it was still a cotton bale. After we were all in place, Rong Ziyang came, and when he came in, he had a stinky face and vigorously hit the cotton bag for an hour.
The master, who did not know what was going on, nodded again and again, praising him for his diligence and hard work, and as a model for my generation, so that everyone should learn from him, and I could clearly see that his face was greener, and his eyes were more vicious.
For the next three days, it rained in San Kyoto, and the rain was pouring from day to night. Life in the Blue Pavilion is as simple as going to class, eating and sleeping.
Thanks to the blessing of the third prince, I was arranged in this independent courtyard, although it was pure, but it was as if I was isolated from the world.
Some of the new students were deliberately alienated because of my "special treatment", and some of the self-proclaimed students were disdainful of knowing that I had entered the Blue Pavilion without being screened.
Fortunately, I am not a child, and I don't want to communicate with these students much, and there are a lot of books in the small courtyard, which is enough for me to pass the time.
In the past three days, I have been careful and careful, for fear of the little overlord's way, but he just looked at me viciously, and did not take any action, which made me more careful.
On the fourth day, the sky cleared, there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the air after the rain was particularly fresh, so I got up early in the morning to check the time, and it was still early for the morning class, so I was ready to go out for a walk.
Changing into a plain shirt and sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Lu Zhu seemed very happy when she combed my hair, and she said, "Miss, you are fat." ”
If you look closely, it seems that she is really a little fatter, her thin cheeks are slightly bulging, her eyes are bright, and even her original sallow face is slightly ruddy, but this little arm and calf are still as thin as before.
Isn't it necessary to eat more to gain weight? I suddenly remembered the man's words on the scrap of paper.
These days, when I wake up in the morning, there is no hot food on the table, but I feel that there are a pair of eyes staring in the dark, which is very uncomfortable.
I didn't eat any of his snacks, I gave them all to Luzhu, and she couldn't eat them herself, so she took them out and distributed them to the maids and scholars, but she quickly mingled with them.
"Miss, comb it." Green Bead said softly.
These days, I eat and sleep well, my hair has improved greatly, she pulled a pair of sideburns for me, and decorated the ring with jade beads, because there is no ear piercing, so it is matched with a bead chain, which looks from the mirror, but it is also chic.
"I go out for a walk, you don't have to follow me."
"Yes, miss." The green beads should be whispered, and I walked out the door.
It was still early, and the other students had not yet gotten up, when the magpies on the branches cried softly, and the cicadas chirped in the distance.
The Blue Pavilion is very large, and I used to only walk a short distance on the left, but when I got to the fork in the road, I thought about it and walked to the right.
It is worthy of being a royal courtyard here, and the tower and cloud platform along the way are magnificent, and the garden courtyard is also very exquisite. However, there are a few places where locks are placed on the outside of the main hall, which must be important places.
After looking around, it was almost time for class, so I looked for the direction and prepared to go back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a woman in the corridor not far away who was looking down at a book, and when she looked closely, it was Liu Rong'er.
As if sensing a gaze, she slowly looked up, and when she saw me, she actually smiled.
Just as the chime drum sounded, it was inconvenient for me to go over, so I also bowed my head, and both of us smiled slightly and separated.
Today's morning class has been changed back to the original kind old master, and everyone is relaxed and happy. The second session changed the course to a chess practice.
The one who taught chess was a young master, and there weren't so many people who knew it, and everyone understood it very well.
The so-called chess skills, the master is only responsible for teaching the way, and the skills must be pondered by themselves. After the master taught a game of chess, he asked the students to practice in pairs.
I was in a group with the fat student who made the song "Eating Joy" in the dining hall on the day he first came to Qinglan Pavilion. Xu was preconceived, and I was not optimistic about him, but he won me easily.
"Concession and concession." He bowed modestly.
Once in the Prime Minister's Mansion, my chess skills can be regarded as superb. Now that he was defeated, he was naturally unwilling, and he fought with him again in his spirit, and he did not distinguish the winner until the chime drum sounded at noon.
I can't help but secretly admire, it turns out that I really can't break the third with it, and the people who can enter the Blue Pavilion have something extraordinary.
The two of us were especially unsatisfied, so we made an appointment to discuss in the next class, so we went to the dining hall with a group of chess students. After eating, it was another lesson for Wu Fuzi.
These days, it is really boring to either take a horse step or play a cotton bale, and the interest of the students is not high. After a little thought, Wu Fuzi decided to give us a new trick......
Go to the horse farm and learn to ride a horse.
When it comes to horseback riding, everyone is naturally happy. However, when I arrived at the racecourse, I found that there was a group of old students who were also in class.
"Look, isn't that Ji Xiaohou?" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and the students immediately became excited.
Look along the horse farm, in the center, Ji Yun often rides a black sideburns horse, wearing a navy blue jacket robe, the horse gallops, his waist does not move at all, and he beats the horse and whips, which is very general-style.
Wu Fuzi didn't know what he had said in the past, and when he came back, he said to us, "I discussed with Li Fuzi, you are new to riding, and many essentials are not well grasped, so I will first teach you the basic essentials of riding, and then, two people in a team, and an old student over there, they will guide you to practice." ”
Naturally, everyone said yes. A few female students even excitedly asked, "Master, can we choose who we are in a group with?" We want to be in a group with the little marquis. ”
"Of course not!" The Master's face darkened.
It looks like a simple ride, but it's hard to get started. First of all, you should grasp the reins, step on the pedals with both feet, bow forward slightly, adjust to the horse's back, and then gently whip the horse, and walk slowly.
The Master found two horses and asked each of us to go and experiment with them. I've always been in a carriage, where have I ever ridden a horse? When it was my turn, I couldn't hold the reins well, and I couldn't hold the horses, but fortunately, the master had a good temper and corrected him many times, and finally he could have a fancy show when he sat on the horse.
Xu is a man is born with a talent for riding, when it was the turn of the Rong Xiaobawang, he turned over directly on the horse, hit the horse and ran around, when passing by my side, he also deliberately beat the horsewhip, the horse snorted past the side, he glanced at me contemptuously.
Now that we've learned the basics, it's time to group. If you don't say that the road is narrow, the master actually divided me and Rong Ziyang into a group.
He was obviously more unhappy than me, "Master, can you give me a new teammate?" She's too stupid! ”
"Can't!" The Master replied with a dark face.
Rong Ziyang was taken aback, and pointed at Ji Yunchang, "Then I want to be in a group with him!" ”
The master hesitated, then looked at me again, probably thinking that Rong Ziyang was unreliable, and Ji Yunchang seemed to be able to assist me, so he agreed.
So, under the jealous and resentful eyes of all the female students, the two of us beat horses and Ji Yun often walked together.
"Yun Chang, how about we play a few laps of Marseille first?" Rong Xiaobawang was obviously excited.
Ji Yunchang seemed to smile, and actually nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"Good! Do you see the colored flag in front of you, let's start here, turn around at the flag, and after five laps, whoever can take the flag first and run back here will win, how about it. ”
Ji Yun often said, "It's okay, let's start here." ”
Rong Xiaobawang seemed to be very happy, and said to me for the first time, "Hey! Sister of the Su family, you are responsible for being the referee for us. You shout to start, we run, whoever takes the flag comes back first to win, you are responsible for winning or losing, but okay? ”
As soon as I heard that there was going to be a competition, all the students gathered around, and besides, his speech was not unpleasant, so I nodded and said yes.
I kicked the horse's belly, pulled the reins back, made the horse take two steps back, raised my right hand and shouted "One, two, three, go!" ”
As soon as the right hand fell, the two horses flew out like arrows off the string.
"Ahh Look, the little marquis is so handsome! Come on, little marquis! A female student shouted excitedly.
"Rong Shao is so handsome on horseback, Rong Shao come on!!" Another student shouted as well.
After a while, the students in the racecourse were divided into two groups, each cheering and shouting. Although the two masters did not shout, they also came over and kept an eye on the delivery of the two.
Three laps have passed in a blink of an eye, and the two of them have already fought together, and they can't tell the winner at all, Rong Xiaobawang looked sideways, snapped a whip, the horse neighed in pain, and galloped wildly, exceeding the distance of four or five meters beyond Ji Yunchang.
"Come on, little marquis!" Nervous calls rang out all around.
Ji Yunchang seemed to frown, hit the horse, and chased after him.
After coming and going, four laps have passed, and the two are still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, and finally they even pulled the flag at the same time, and one person came back with a horse on the side.
I immediately announced the results of this competition, "Two people are tied." ”
"Haha! Yun Chang, I didn't expect you to become more and more powerful, and I couldn't win you! Eiko Yang tightened the horse's reins and let the horse slowly circle in place.
Ji Yun often pulled the reins and smiled, "After the award, Ziyang really has good riding skills." ”
"Hey...... You've won the prize, too. Rong Ziyang laughed, threw the flag, and forked it into the soil not far away.
The race was over, and the people around them had dispersed, and the two masters discussed their riding skills as they walked.
Even though I didn't know how to ride a horse, I was excited to see it, and I wanted to learn how to ride it and gallop like them.
Rong Ziyang seemed to see the expectation in my eyes, lowered his head and touched the horse's mane, and then asked, "Do you want to ride a horse like this?" ”
Seeing that I was silent, he smiled angrily, beat his horse and said, "Since you are looking forward to it so much, I will teach you a quick way to learn, first grasp the reins." ”
I was a little skeptical, and he immediately pointed to the reins with his head, meaning to grab it quickly. I hesitated for a moment but grabbed it.
He nodded, "Now kick the stirrups hard." ”
I had a bad premonition, but I still stomped.
"Hold on, run!" He suddenly struck the horse with a whip. I felt my body float, and before I could shout, the person flew out.
