Chapter 22 of the text is aimed at
"Jiaojiao, do you want to ride a horse?" Qin Ruizhuo was originally a startled character, but when he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, without the constraints of his elders, he jumped out even more.
Qin Wan glanced at the stable, in order to facilitate the hunting of the noble children, Xiao Qingshan has his own domesticated horses, which is not very brave, and it is more than enough for hunting.
The two rushed to the stable, and the steward was busy bringing out the two best horses in the stable, because Qin Wan was young and a girl, so she was given a little mare, not to mention docile, and not big in size.
The little guy next to Qin Ruizhuo put on the saddle and lay on the ground, letting Qin Ruizhuo step on his back and get on the horse.
"Jiaojiao?" Qin Ruizhuo glanced back at Qin Wan who was in a daze, "Hurry up, big brother will take you two laps." ”
"I'll do it myself," Qin Wan looked somewhere and said without looking back, "I'm slow and can't keep up with you, you familiarize yourself with the environment first, and Ming'er will give me more prey." ”
Qin Ruizhuo thought that Qin Wan had brought the maid, and there were people from the stable, and one person should be fine, so he took the little maid and left first.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, Qinwan walked towards the corner of the stable, and a small figure was diligently cleaning the horses.
"Why are you here?" In a delicate and soft voice, the figure suddenly froze.
"Miss, Miss." Xiao Jingxing turned around, buried his head in embarrassment, looked at the exposed dirty toes, and felt extremely inferior.
He saw Qin Wan and Qin Ruizhuo as soon as they arrived in the stable, in order not to be seen by them, he tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, led the horse to the corner, and even turned his back to them, but he didn't want to, but she still saw it.
"This is the horse of the Zhenshan Palace?"
Seeing Xiao Jingxing nodding, Qin Wan understood.
She knew that Xiao Jingxing had a hard time when he was a child, but she didn't expect to be reduced to a subordinate who brushed horses, and the king of Zhenshan really dared to do this, without his acquiescence, the people in the palace did not dare to treat Xiao Jingxing like this.
Xiao Jingxing couldn't wait for a crack in the ground to get into, such an unbearable side was actually seen by her!
He looked at his toes in shame, embarrassed as to what to do.
"Will you lead the horse, if you can, help me lead the horse."
Xiao Jingxing raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with scorching light, and for just a moment, it suddenly dimmed.
"Miss, I ......"
"Lychee, let the people in the stable feed the horses of the Zhenshan Wangfu, you, Xiao Jingxing, come with me." As soon as Qin Wan's momentum was released, Xiao Jingxing could only nod sluggishly, followed her hand and foot, and carefully helped her onto the horse.
"Miss......" Lychee glanced at Xiao Jingxing, who had replaced her, and now she also recognized this person as the person they had saved from Yu Pei last time.
Qin Wan waved his hand indifferently, "I'll come back after a turn, you wait here." ”
Xiao Jingxing had a straight face, leading Qin Wan's horse around the periphery of the hunting garden, he stayed in the stable for most of the day, and also figured out the road around the hunting garden.
He did it very seriously, as if he was doing a sacred thing, and his slightly furrowed brows set off his whole person very seriously.
Qin Wan glanced at him unintentionally, and couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe Xiao Jingxing's unsmiling appearance was cultivated since childhood.
The two came back in a circle, Qin Ruizhuo hadn't come back yet, Qin Wan was afraid of the cold, so he got off the horse and walked towards Merlin with lychees.
Xiao Jingxing rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and looked at Qin Wan's back reluctantly.
"What are you doing standing there! Don't think that the nobles will soar after saying two words to you, what to do and what to do! Pick out the horse manure! The little man in the stables threw the wooden bucket of horse dung at Xiao Jingxing's feet and spat on the ground.
The people above have specially instructed to "take care" of this kid well.
Xiao Jingxing put on a straight face, carried the wooden bucket to the corner, used a shovel to fill the horse manure into the bucket, and after doing this, he washed his hands and walked towards the wooden house next to the stable.
This is where the stableman lived, close to the stable, convenient for taking care of the horses, but close, it smelled bad, and it was cold, there was nothing to heat up, a wooden bed, a moldy thin quilt.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Jingxing rubbed his somewhat red and swollen toes.
It's almost the end of the year, and he is still wearing single shoes, the soles of which have long been torn, the shoes are a little small, and the toes are exposed, which is very difficult to walk. But this is his only pair of shoes, he has to dry them quickly, and he has to go with him if he has to hunt.
"Tuk-tuk."
"Who?" Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Jingxing raised his head vigilantly and stepped barefoot on the wet and cold ground.
"I'm a maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my young lady asked me to send something over."
Xiao Jingxing opened the door suspiciously, and when he saw a familiar person, he was stunned at first, and after reacting, he asked, "...... your young lady?"
"Is my young lady your name?" Lychee was already dissatisfied with Xiao Jingxing replacing herself before, and now that the young lady asked her to send things over, how could she have a good face.
Xiao Jingxing muttered a few sentences, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and his feet moved.
"This is what my young lady asked me to give you, and you have taken it." Lychee stuffed the things in his hand into Xiao Jingxing's arms, snorted heavily in a nasal voice, turned his head and left.
Xiao Jingxing was stunned for a long time before carefully holding the things in his arms to the bedside.
It was a pair of cotton shoes, the most ordinary style, with blue cloth uppers and black soles, and at first glance you knew that they were sold by Yamashita merchants. It is very warm in the hand, the shoes are very thick and warm, and the soles are also non-slip.
Xiao Jingxing's eyes were burning and shining, and he jumped excitedly on the bed with his shoes, and compared the soles of his shoes twice with the soles of his feet, the size was just right. Pinched his sleeves and carefully wiped the uppers of his shoes, put his shoes on the bed like a baby, stepped on the broken shoes and walked out of the wooden house, and after a while, he came in with a broken wooden basin.
The basin was filled with cold water, but Xiao Jingxing didn't care at all, carefully washed and washed his feet, and dried his feet with a sheet, before putting a pair of red feet into cotton shoes, trembling on the ground, and walking lightly two steps, with a bright smile on his dark face.
Qin Wan returned to Merlin, and saw Qin Mingyue sitting there proudly in the spring breeze from a distance, her little face was slightly red, and she was very proud.
Before she got closer, Qin Mingyue saw her, "Sixth sister is back, have you fun?" ”
Qin Wan chuckled, "Looking at the appearance of the eldest sister, she should have had a lot of fun." ”
Qin Mingyue smiled and said nothing, Qin Mingrou took over the conversation, "No, today's wine order, the eldest sister came out on top." ”
"Mingyue's ability, where you can get on the stage, it is all the love of the princes and county lords." said kind words in his mouth, but the corners of his eyes were full of ambition.
"How much ability the eldest sister has, the county lord knows." Qin Wan suddenly changed her words, and even her self-proclaimed words changed, Qin Mingyue's face suddenly changed, her eyes rolled, and tears swirled in her eyes, full of a bullied white lotus.
"The sixth sister is blaming the sister? My sister is also thinking about helping my sister, how to say, my sister is also the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, this kind of occasion ......"
Naturally, you can't lose the face of the Prime Minister's house.
As a concubine, there is no way to excel, and the concubines and concubines naturally have to be on top.
Everyone present didn't speak, everyone was a child, and they would definitely not stand up for Qin Mingyue. What's more, the infighting between Qin Wan and Qin Mingyue is a matter of the Prime Minister's business, and they are also experiencing this kind of struggle every day, and they have long been accustomed to it, if the occasion does not allow it, maybe they will add fuel to the fire.
As a son-in-law and daughter-in-law, no one likes to have a concubine or concubine who is stronger than themselves everywhere.
Qin Mingyue was delicate for a long time, and she didn't see anyone talking to her, so she had to wipe her tears and look at Qin Wan pitifully.
"The eldest sister can come out on top, and it is not in vain that Aunt Ji has spent so much effort to invite a separate western seat for the eldest sister, and it is not in vain that her father's hard work is cultivated. Speaking of which, the eldest sister and the second brother are still enlightened by their father himself, compared to my eldest brother who is not angry, tsk......"
Everyone present knew that Qin Ruizhuo was eight years old and had not yet been enlightened, as a sister-in-law, if Qin Dongshan really had a heart, he would have personally taken it with him to be enlightened, eight years old, this age should stay in the academy.
Qin Wan's words revealed too much information.
"Sixth sister, how can you complain about the eldest sister." Qin Mingrou is Qin Mingyue's follower, and her aunt opened her face with the acquiescence of the Ji family, so she and Aunt Lu are both members of the Ji family.
Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.
Qin Mingrou continued: "Dad also saw that the eldest sister and the second brother were smart, so he took them with him to enlighten himself. ”
"So my stupid and dull big brother doesn't know a single big character now, he brought it on himself, who called him untalented?"
Qin Wan's sudden change caught Qin Mingyue off guard, no one knows how she suddenly changed her face, or in public!
Qin Wan was good friends with the Ji family before, and even got along well with the two sisters, but now he suddenly became difficult, and Qin Mingyue was powerless to kill. The disparity in identity made her unable to trespass, and in order to maintain her weak image, she couldn't refute it, and she was at a disadvantage for a while.
Just when she was racking her brains and thinking about how to deal with it, Qin Wan suddenly said, "Brother Prince, Jiaojiao is hungry." ”
Zhang Ruishun said with a smile: "Brother Prince asked people to prepare what you like to eat, let's go, let's go eat first." ”
Standing up, he nodded at everyone, "Your Highness will go first, you are free." ”
"Greetings to Your Highness."
Zhang Ruishun took Qin Wan to the box, this time he didn't share a table with Qin Mingyue and others, only him and Qin Wan and Qin Ruizhuo's brothers and sisters.
Qin Ruizhuo also knew about the previous confrontation between Qin Wan and Qin Mingyue, and he didn't approve of Qin Wan taking those two concubines on a trip together, but since Qin Wan was willing, he would let her go, but they were just two concubines who couldn't be on the stage, and they were originally for his sister's pastime.
Qin Ruizhuo didn't think much about it, what kind of character Qin Wan was, he knew better than anyone else, and he wasn't afraid that the two would go back to sue.
It's a good time to eat here, but it's not easy for Qin Mingyue and Qin Mingrou to have a good time.
I thought that if I came out with Qin Wan, I would have the opportunity to contact the prince, but I didn't want to suffer such a big shame!
Qin Mingyue slapped on the table with a "snap", and her little face was red with anger.
"Eldest sister, the sixth child is too much!" In private, Qin Mingrou was not respectful of Qin Wan's title, "She completely ignores the face of our prime minister and sincerely embarrasses you!" ”
"Isn't it just a concubine? Soon I will be the concubine of the Prime Minister's house! In front of Qin Mingrou, Qin Mingyue did not hide her ambition at all, not to mention, Qin Mingrou's mother and daughter are both from the Ji family, and their plans are known to both mother and daughter.
"Let people go and see where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now." Qin Mingyue commanded angrily.
