Chapter 41: Spring Heart
Near the Shuoshui River in Kuanzhou City, there are nearly 36 large and small horse farms, Shuoshui is a hair, the whole horse farm is green grass, thriving.
Mo Lingfeng had a white horse, raised in Shangyang Horse Garden, and before the fifth watch, she stepped on the dew and went out of the city, took the horse from Xi Guan's hand, and took it to the Shuoshui River.
The horse was docile and drank water by the river, and Mo Lingfeng bent down to pluck pink buckwheat flowers in the grass and stood on tiptoe to pin the bridle.
The river breeze blows slowly, the flowers and plants are low, the jade rabbit has not yet set in the west, the golden crow has risen in the east, and the water surface reflects a moving wave.
When the horse was full of water and snorted, Mo Lingfeng put the remaining buckwheat flowers in his hand and thrust them indiscriminately, turned over and got on the horse, paced slowly at first, and after a quarter of an hour, suddenly spurred the horse and ran into a shadow.
Yin Nan rode a yellow horse, chasing the dazzling golden light on her body, and followed not far away.
There was no one in the wilderness, so she was allowed to gallop until the hour came, and the pasture was multiplied, and the grass beaters carried a half-man's high basket and a two-strand wooden fork, and the horse manure outside the horse farm was also picked up in the basket.
Cheng Ting and Wu Jin also came together and rented horses at Xi Guan's office.
Wu Jin was wearing a half-worn narrow-sleeved shirt and a cloud scarf, Cheng Ting wanted to rent a horse for him, but he insisted on not accepting it, he picked an inexpensive green horse, handed the sign back to Xi Guan, and turned his head to look in the direction he came.
Cheng Ting asked for a green horse, took the water bladder from Wu Jin's hand, took two sips, and let out a long "ha" breath: "What are you looking at?" Waiting for the Leaf? ”
His face was flushed, his head was shiny and smooth, he was wearing a new red narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, and he was in good spirits with new riding boots on his feet.
Pedestrians came in twos and threes, and Mo Lingfeng was not seen, so Wu Jin turned around and said, "She said it yesterday." ”
Cheng Ting threw the water bladder into Wu Jin's hand again: "She can't come, Mo Jiedu will never let her come-my uncle is scared." ”
"Master's horse, you're waiting to buy it now, aren't you?" He raised his voice to urge Xi Guan, and said to Wu Jin, "Let's ride horses well, I have a lot of things I want to tell you." ”
His inner words are naturally related to Xu Huiran.
Xi Guan hurriedly led the horse, and the two turned over on the horse, grabbed the bridle, rolled the horsewhip, gently clamped the horse's belly, and walked around first.
Cheng Ting talked to Wu Jin about the bottle of begonia flowers yesterday, and he asked his eldest sister to transfer it to Xu Huiran, Xu Huiran took the flowers, returned the vase to the Cheng family, and inserted a branch of peony in it as a gift.
Cheng Ting received this gift in return and immediately fell in love unilaterally.
As everyone knows, Xu Huiran is a good girl who is knowledgeable, since she is returning the bottle, she can't get other people's flowers, and she returns an empty bottle to others, so she inserts a peony in it as a thank you gift.
Wu Jin said softly: "Our neighbors on Shishi Street sometimes send a bowl of vegetables to our house, and my aunt receives the vegetables, and she must put something in the bowl and return it. ”
Cheng Tingzheng was infatuated with love alone, and suddenly called Wu Jin to break it, and was suddenly unhappy, and retorted: "If Sister Huiran doesn't like me, how can she not be married at this age?" My eldest sister has already decided on a family and will leave the cabinet in October. ”
He grinned again: "Yesterday my aunt had promised me that I would go to the Xu family today to propose marriage, and when I got married, I saved a lot of things, and I could send them over justifiably, there is a set of villains who fight and fight, which my brother-in-law brought to me from Tiger Hill in the future, and I didn't ......show it to the Leaf."
As he rambled, the air began to dry and the heat rose, and the scattered buckwheat flowers emitted a pungent smell, intertwined with the stench of horse manure, and drilled into the nose.
Wu Jin listened quietly, and suddenly felt a softness in her heart - Cheng Ting's love for Xu Huiran was the innocence that he wanted to give her when he had good things, and the sincerity that Mo Lingfeng didn't even have, even if no one responded, it was also extraordinarily beautiful.
Cheng Ting's mouth was dry, and when he was about to drink water, he saw a group of people coming from a horse not far away, so he stopped talking and changed his face.
The people who came were all dressed in brocade clothes, and one of them was Wang Jinghua, who was extremely bad with Cheng Ting-the two were still Liangzi who formed a relationship at the racecourse two years ago.
As soon as Wang Jinghua saw Cheng Ting, he was high-spirited, left a group of classmates and friends, and went straight to Cheng Ting, and there was a man and a woman inside, who seemed to have also met Cheng Ting and followed.
"Cheng San," the young man who came with Wang Jinghua greeted first, "Wu Jin, you are also here to run horses?" ”
The woman next to him called softly, "Third Brother", but Cheng Ting only stared at Wang Jinghua and didn't hear it, the woman was embarrassed for a while, twisted her fingers, lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Shi Yuan," Wu Jin smiled, "I haven't thanked you for taking care of my family's business." ”
Shi Yuan waved his hand: "It's my family who wants to eat, and it's not a matter of taking care of it." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman beside him: "This is my sister Shi Qing, one year younger than you." ”
Wu Jin looked at Shi Qing at this time: "Miss Shi." ”
Shi Qing half-raised his head again and looked at Wu Jin: "Wu Langjun." ”
The three of them talked to each other here, but Cheng Ting and Wang Jinghua couldn't hold it anymore.
Cheng Ting pulled his voice and made a preemptive move: "Yo, the toad spirit from Tunan Academy is also here to ride a horse." ”
Wang Jinghua has two round convex eyes, a big mouth, and an open smile as if he wants to eat people, and the longer it is, the more open it is, the nickname Cheng Ting gave him has resounded in the two academies in Kuanzhou.
Wang Jinghua immediately showed a yin and yang weird smile: "Yo, isn't this Cheng Baiding?" ”
The two men armed with guns and sticks, and immediately launched a brief attack.
Wang Jinghua said that Cheng Ting was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat, Cheng Ting replied that he didn't look like a toad, Wang Jinghua's face was red and his neck was thick, and he scolded him for having a scarred face, Cheng Ting said that he was better than your toad face, Wang Jinghua said that he was a male duck with a bad voice, and Cheng Ting said that he was better than you.
Wang Jinghua was almost angry, his nostrils moved, and he was about to dismount when he turned over, but Cheng Ting chased after him and asked him if he wanted to help his little short legs.
The two of them saw that they were about to fight, and Wu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.
Shi Yuan also said: "Brother Clam, Cheng San, why bother to be tense as soon as you meet, it's better to value peace." ”
Wang Jinghua smoked and didn't hear Shi Yuan's slip of the tongue clearly, but Shi Qing heard it clearly, forced a smile, looked away, and unexpectedly bumped into Wu Jin.
Wu Jin also looked like she was not smiling, and with a slight bow to her, Shi Qing hung her head, her face was slightly red.
Shi Yuan finally persuaded Wang Jinghua away, Cheng Ting saw Wang Jinghua defeated, he laughed happily, and raised his eyebrows at Shi Yuan, not like a chance encounter, but like a premeditated meeting.
"How about we run a few laps together, it's not that I'm bragging, I'm not good at studying, and my riding skills are still very good."
Shi Yuan smiled: "Okay, but if you lose, don't cheat." ”
Cheng Ting patted his chest: "Never cheat." ”
Shi Qing couldn't help but glance at Wu Jin again.
Wu Jin sensed that something was wrong, knowing that it was Cheng Ting's troublemaker, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he couldn't help but look around, and suddenly saw Mo Lingfeng's figure.
Her body was shining with gold, like a streamer, passing in front of him.
