Jiang Wanmu looked up at the snow on the mountain in the distance, her eyes retracted slightly, and then saw the thick layer of snow covered by the horse shed in the distance. She stepped twice on the ground in amazement, feeling the thick feeling of the verdant and inviting grass bouncing off the ground.

Jiang Wanmu deliberately wore light clothes early in the morning, she was a person who wanted to learn to ride a horse. When she arrived at the horse farm, she learned that learning to ride a horse also requires talent. When everyone could get on the horse and ride slowly, she was the only one who had to lead the horse and walk slowly for half a lap in the racecourse.

Everyone accompanied her around in a small circle, but she was a little embarrassed by herself, thinking that it was too much of a drag on everyone, so they all followed her around the racecourse. She took the hand of the stout woman in the racecourse, and when she dismounted, she sighed and said to the people sitting on the horse, "I am tired, let me rest for a while." You go and play by yourself, and I'll sit in the tea shed here. She persuaded Sister-in-law Su and Ji Yan, who were going to stay with her, and told them to hurry up with everyone.

Jiang Wanmu looked up at the place where the horse's hooves were hurrying, and only saw the splashes flying there, filled with one heroic appearance after another. She turned her head and walked towards the tea shed, in the simple tea shed, there were only a few wooden tables, two middle-aged men and women were boiling water by the fire, they saw Jiang Wanmu coming over, the woman quickly took out a rag and wiped the table closest to the fire. Jiang Wanmu obeyed her kindness and sat down directly at the table.

The woman looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "Madam, have a pot of tea." Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes to see the big teapots on the stove, and she asked, "I can't finish such a big teapot alone." After a while, the family came over, and the water in the teapot was cold again. The woman looked at Jiang Wanmu with a smile and said, "Woman, do you want some snacks?" I and the master can send you tea to drink. Jiang Wanmu was a little moved when she heard this. She looked sideways, but she couldn't see where there was a place to set up snacks.

When the woman saw Jiang Wanmu like this, she said to Jiang Wanmu with a smile: "Madam, my family has a family handicraft. The snacks he made with his own hands, and those who have tasted them, say that they are really delicious. Because every time we do less, we never dare to sell it on the table, but regular customers come to us and ask us to order it, and some people will ask for it to be taken away in advance. Today you are the first to come for tea. Why don't I give you a snack for you to try? ”

Jiang Wanmu was embarrassed to eat other people's family heirloom snacks for nothing, she smiled and said, "You can take a few things for me to taste first." The woman smiled and went into the back of the tea shed, and soon brought out a few snacks, the color of which was pleasing to the eye, and the smell was pure and long. Jiang Wanmu looked at the stacks of snacks on the table. Stretch out your chopsticks and put some into your mouth, and the taste remains the same after entering the mouth, and you can feel the crispness of the snack when you bite it with your teeth. After Jiang Wanmu tasted everything, she looked up at the woman with a smile and said, "It's delicious." You're a master of your craft, do you have any other snacks here? ”

The woman smiled and nodded, "There are a few snacks, but the portions are not much, and they can't be taken away." I'll give you a stack of each, and you'll taste them all? Jiang Wanmu understood the meaning of the woman's words, she smiled and nodded and said, "Okay." The woman quickly brought a few stacks of snacks. After Jiang Wanmu tasted them one by one, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked up and said to the woman, "Each has its own taste, it is delicious." Lady of the house, you can introduce me, and take those few things back with you. You can eat it for a longer time. ”

The woman had already brought a large bowl of tea and handed it to Jiang Wanmu, she stood at the table and said with a smile: "Madam, the weather is cold now, you can eat everything for a longer time." It's just that I saw that you were the one brought here by General Lian, so I told you the truth, the snacks I made at home tasted better than ordinary people. It's just that after a long time, the taste is not as good as the one eaten that day. You like to eat this time, and next time you want to eat, you can tell General Lian that after the New Year's Festival, people will come over to ride horses every day. ”

The woman looked at Jiang Wanmu with inquiring eyes, saw that she just smiled slightly, reached out to the table and ordered a few things that came up first, and said with a smile: "I want these things, you can help me pack five portions first, and then take them away when we leave." After Jiang Wanmu finished speaking, she took out a piece of silver and handed it to the woman and said, "This is the silver order, and our people will come over to drink tea and eat snacks in a while, and they will all use this silver to keep accounts." If it's not enough, I'll add it to you then. The woman looked at the man with a look of embarrassment, and the man nodded at her, and then she took the silver and said with a smile, "Good." Then you sit, if you need anything, you can always speak. ”

The woman went into the back of the teashed and could hear the movement coming from behind, while the man stood by the fire, and the teapots on the stove made the sound of gurgling from time to time. Jiang Wanmu's eyes looked at the empty place, and after she heard the noise, she turned her head slightly and saw a group of people, men, women, and children walking in, as if they were several families mixed together. The men looked up and laughed one by one, and the women and children laughed along, and it was very lively.

The women of the horse farm greeted them, and after a few words, the group came to the tea shed. The woman had come out from behind, and she greeted her happily, shouting, "Liu Junye, Wang Junye, Lin Junye, you brought your family here?" Wow, these sons are handsome, and the young ladies are dignified. Jiang Wanmu listened to the woman's string of praises, there was a smile in her eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly, raised the bowl and took another sip of tea, there was a unique fragrance in the tea, which reduced the bitter and astringent taste in the usual tea.

There were people sitting at the table next to Jiang Wanmu, and she didn't raise her eyes to look at people. I heard the woman on the table next to me greet with a smile and said, "Hey, you are from the military master's family, you arrived so early." When Jiang Wanmu asked for the second time, she knew that the woman at the table next to her was greeting her in the eyes of the man in the tea shed. She smiled and turned to look at the woman in the auspicious garment, and she smiled and said to her, "Hello." The woman looked at her demeanor and was a little embarrassed to ask.

Jiang Wanmu saw that she didn't continue, she turned back and continued to look outside. The woman at the table beside her had beckoned to the woman in the tea shed, and asked in a low voice, "I see that lady sitting there, she is more gentle than us rough people, she is the wife of the military master?" The woman in the tea shed looked at her with an embarrassed expression, and she saw Jiang Wanmu's obviously unconcerned expression, and said in a low voice: "Today, General Lian brought many people to the horse farm to ride horses, and this lady is the one who came with her. ”

Although the voice of the woman in the tea shed was much lower, it was a pity that everyone in the shed still understood. The woman sitting at the other table followed and sat down at the table next to Jiang Wanmu at this time. Jiang Wanmu listened to the movement on the table next to her, she drank the tea in her bowl without moving, and when the woman refilled the tea for her, she said: "I drink your tea, it is quite my appetite, I ask the lady in charge, can you sell me some of this kind of tea?" ”

The woman in the tea shed looked at her man again, and when she saw him nodding, she smiled and said, "Madam, this kind of tea in our house is not for sale. It's just that you've just ordered you to pack a lot of snacks, and I said I could give you a small one to try. Jiang Wanmu stood up with a smile, bowed slightly to the man in the tea shed, and bowed slightly to the woman and said, "Thank you." The women at the next table all looked at her, the man in charge of the tea shed smiled and nodded, and the woman blushed and said, "Madam, you are too polite." If you like this tea, when the horse farm is open every month in the future, you are welcome to come to the horse farm again to drink my tea. ”

After Jiang Wanmu sat down, she looked at her with a slight smile and shook her head and said, "I don't know how to ride a horse, I don't know when I will come next time." Jiang Wanmu's expression turned her head calmly, and she looked farther up the mountain. The women at the table next to her cast curious glances at her from time to time. After several women pulled, a woman in blue stood beside Jiang Wanmu's table, Jiang Wanmu withdrew her eyes, looked at her indifferently, and saw her uneasy look on her face. She silently picked up the water on the table and took a sip of water, which was a little cold.

When Jiang Wanmu came, she had already heard Lian Hao mention that there was only one tea shed in the racecourse where she could rest, and at the moment, except for the voices of children in the tea shed, the most eye-catching person was the woman standing at her table. Jiang Wanmu sighed secretly, smiled slightly at the woman in blue who had not spoken, and said, "Please take a seat." The woman in blue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sat down opposite her, while the woman at the table next to her had already opened her mouth to urge her, "Mrs. Lin, you speak." ”

Jiang Wanmu sighed slightly in her heart, she was still too careless in her own affairs, in such a place, she came with Lian Hao, but she was a single person, no wonder others would be curious about her. The woman looked at Jiang Wanmu's expression, and she said very hard: "Madam, they asked me to ask you, what do you have to do with General Lian?" Her voice was so loud that no one in the tea shed spoke. Jiang Wanmu looked at her with an interesting expression and whispered, "You don't know me, and I don't know you." I have nothing to do with the general you are talking about. ”

'Ah' she glared at Jiang Wanmu with an expression of obvious disbelief, and the women at the table next to her shouted at the same time, "Impossible." My grandfather said that General Lian naturally doesn't like women. After Jiang Wanmu heard this, she couldn't help laughing, she looked at the woman who was speechless, and she said with a look of approval: "Madam, your lord is very wise. And the men at the back table had already opened their mouths to stop them and said, "That lady, my lady doesn't mean that, the general is a great man." ”

Jiang Wanmu didn't look back at the person who spoke, she just laughed lightly and said, "What the ladies said is very true, and that can affect his good reputation as a great man. "'You woman is talking nonsense, you slander the reputation of our general.' 'The general never had that kind of ,、、、。 ''You woman, you speak more clearly, you say it unclearly, you have a grudge against the general.'' (To be continued)
