Chapter 2 Horse Selection
After a short time, the three of them arrived at the hunting ground, which was heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, and the guards around the hunting ground were all full of energy, strong physique, and majestic demeanor.
Seeing the three of them coming, someone immediately came to inquire, "See the three sons, the other sons have arrived, please hurry up and choose the horses, my emperor is about to arrive." ”
The three of them listened to the words, thanked the goalkeeper, and walked inside. I saw that there were twelve people in the field, all wearing simple horse clothes, twelve sons were tall and vigorous, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a group of teenagers gathered together to make the whole horse farm have a youthful atmosphere, different clothing styles show different temperament styles.
The people in the field seem to have selected horses, there are about twelve horses around, some people are under the horses, some people are riding on horses to try horses, they get together, they talk very happily, I don't know if all these people know each other, Shen San asked, if they all know, so many people, it seems that they are going to be exposed.
When everyone saw the three of them coming, they all stepped forward and said hello, "Why did the three sons come?" ”
"There is a delay on the road, time is pressing, let's go to choose a horse first, and see you back."
With that, the three of them walked towards the stables. Li Lanyi went to choose a horse by himself, Wang Hongyi had to help Shen San choose a horse first, "Brother Shen, what kind of horse do you want?" ”
"Well, a docile horse with a good temperament is enough. Thank you, Brother Wang. ”
After walking and turning around in the herd for a while, Wang Hongyi chose a black, muscular horse, which looked like a good horse in case of one, and the horse's hooves were very powerful.
After shopping in the two horse circles, Wang Hongyi picked a pure white horse for Shen Sanwen, the horse is acceptable, very tall, spotless, and honest, this kind of horse should also have a docile temperament. However, at first glance, his limbs are quite strong, but he walks carelessly, and he is weak. After only taking a look, Shen Sanwen fell in love with this high-headed horse with a high appearance.
"It's a good horse, it's beautiful, it's very pleasing to my heart."
After selecting the horses, they each rode their horses and paced forward in the crowd, Li Lanyi saw the white horse that Shen San asked, and was slightly puzzled, "Brother Shen, why did you choose such a horse." ”
"It's okay, horses are the same as people, just look beautiful." Hearing such words, the three of them laughed together.
Everyone heard a burst of hip-hop from the three of them, and came up to ask what was going on. As soon as the reason was clarified, someone immediately laughed, "Young Master Shen, you have a unique vision for choosing horses, and you admire and admire." Everyone thought that Brother Shen had a unique vision, and they actually used the appearance of the horse as the basis for choosing a horse, and laughed.
However, a young man surnamed Xue kindly dissuaded, "Brother Shen, horses have a third-class, high-class horses travel thousands of miles a day, walk like flying, can understand human nature, know the master and know the way; The second-class horses have short, straight limbs, flexible movements, and with a little training, they can obey the whip's orders, advance and retreat well-reasonedly, and their limbs are strong, and their speed and endurance are acceptable. Third-class horses are energetic, have a smooth gait, are well-fed and can run short distances, and can be used for freight. “
"This horse is majestic and elegant, tall, flexible and graceful, more than gorgeous, in fact, it can neither hunt down prey, but the weight is also limited, I am afraid that the hunt will drag down Brother Shen."
Everyone persuaded Shen San to ask and choose another good horse. Shen Sanwen just smiled faintly, "It's okay, I'm not good at riding horses and archery, today is just to see everyone's demeanor, good horses and horses are actually fine." ”
This group of sons talk extraordinary, behaves elegantly, gracefully and luxuriously, has a calm temperament, and has a lot of experience in hunting, and it seems that they are also masters who often have fun, their words are lazy, and their manners are calm, which is completely different from the workers seen in the teahouse.
After listening to the exchange of people, I roughly know the surnames of each son, but people don't know the names.
Shen San asked and quietly pulled Wang Hongyi, "Who is the son surnamed Xue who just persuaded me to choose another horse?" ”
"This person Xue Shao, the son of Princess Chengyang, the sixteenth daughter of Taizong, Princess Chengyang is the sister of my emperor's mother, Xue Shao's father, Wei Weiqing Xue Huaiyu, the official residence is from the three products, the instrument and cultural relics are in charge, and the three departments of the arsenal, weapons, and the palace are guarded. Xue Shao is the youngest son in the family, ranked third, very favored in the family, modest, very good, is a famous merry son in Chang'an City. ”
