Don't look at the stirrup as just a small piece of iron.

But with it, it can make many people like Mr. Ning, who are not good at horsemanship, climb on horseback, so that the number of Daxing's cavalry can be increased somewhat.

He was working beside his master, so he naturally knew that the reason for the recent increase in wounded soldiers in Jinling Mansion was caused by the continuous harassment of the border by the countries of the Western Regions.

Among the countries of the Western Regions, Beidi relied on horseback to fight the world and annexed sixteen small countries in the Western Regions, so that he now has the situation of ruling half of the Western Regions and having the most right to speak.

Beidi cavalry is powerful, that is since childhood, the horse and people in the same room practice, and Daxing wants to rely on the day after tomorrow to learn equestrianism, difficulties, the emergence of stirrups, can let Daxing's cavalry ride the horse back that step to cross the past, no longer blindly pursue the equestrian integration of people and horses.

It was precisely because he understood how much change the stirrup could bring that Jiang Yang was even more embarrassed to accept this heavy gift.

"Mr. Ning, or forget about the tuition, it's too expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"Then you just threw it away, just because I didn't give you this drawing, as for this stirrup, when I take the martial arts exam, everyone will also find out, and when the time comes, I will give the credit for this performance to the examiner at that time, tsk, it's a pity, my grandfather, the examiner, went to the capital, and I don't know if I can come back before the martial arts."

Ning Wuxian said lightly, and he didn't take the stirrup to heart at all, which made Jiang Yang really want to talk about the importance of the stirrup that he thought of just now.

Before he could figure out how to persuade Mr. Ning.

Ning Wuxian had already stretched out his hand towards him.

"What to do?"

"If you don't want the drawing, return it to me, you don't have to go back to this city, let's continue to practice, by the way, untie the stirrups from your horse's back and tie them to my horse's back."

Ning Wuxian's performance of turning his face and not recognizing people made Jiang Yang extremely depressed.

He could see it.

He has to collect this tuition, and if he doesn't collect it, he has to collect it, otherwise, if other temporary examiners find out how powerful the stirrup is, and then present it to His Majesty, isn't it equivalent to giving away the credit?

Jiang Yang didn't want this drawing, because he didn't want to covet the credit that should belong to Mr. Ning, but seeing that Mr. Ning didn't want this credit, he was polite.

"No, Mr. Ning, I didn't say I didn't want this drawing, I'll hand it over to the master, as for your stirrups...... I'll bring it tomorrow. ”

After speaking.

Jiang Yang was afraid that he would snatch the drawings back.

With a tap of the stirrup with his left foot, he turned over on the horse and kicked the stirrup lightly, and the horse rushed towards the country road outside the village at the foot of the mountain.

It wasn't until Ning Wuxian couldn't see Jiang Yang's back that he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat that came out of his forehead.

"I almost did a fake show, I tore up the drawings so that Brother Jiang Yang couldn't sleep, I offered wine and tobacco, and Su Rui also wrote the matter of Artemisia annua and reported it, can I still say that I got it from the lost medicine book, and then put the stirrup on my head, Your Majesty can't send someone to arrest me to the capital and force me to specialize in invention?"

Ning Wuji, who was about to ask him why he gave the stirrup drawings to Jiang Yang, suddenly opened up in his mind when he heard this "self-talk".

No wonder the fifth brother is not greedy for merit.

It turned out that he was worried that if he took too much credit, he would be counterattacked.

Compared with the young and frivolous fifth brother before, now even the fifth brother who has to give the credit to others makes Ning Wujian feel distressed.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, I won the martial arts champion this time, get ahead, and be able to speak in front of His Majesty, in this way, you can write poems and lyrics if you want to, you can also do business and medicine, you can farm and plant flowers if you want, and you don't have to worry about others clamping you down!"

The Ning family is still too weak.

And the burden of the Ning family must not be carried by the fifth brother alone.

The pressure on the fifth brother is too great!

Ning Wuxian actually just wanted the third brother to keep the stirrup secret that he had invented it, but he didn't expect the third brother's sudden sensationalism to catch him off guard.

How to respond to the third brother?

He decided to follow his heart, stretched out his hand and patted Ning Wuji's shoulder, and smiled knowingly: "Third brother, don't put too much pressure, in case you can't pass the martial arts championship, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment." ”

"You can rest assured ......"

"I don't worry, anyway, it's no problem for you to get the first place in Jinling, when the time comes, go to the capital palace to take the exam, if you can't pass the martial arts champion, like you, who is both civil and military, and you don't look bad, I'll find you a good family on the spot, if you can't rely on you, we can also find a good sister-in-law to protect me, right?"

Right...... Is that right?

Ning Wujian was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't tell for a while, the fifth brother was joking with him in order to relieve him of pressure.

still really planned, if he failed to pass the martial arts championship, he would find a family for him in the capital.

Just thinking about it.

I saw that Ning Wuxian didn't know when, stepped on the stirrup, and climbed on the horse's back.

"Third brother, lend me the mount to practice."

"咴~~"

As soon as the words fell.

The horses began to jump on each of their legs again.

Ning Wuxian once again experienced the feeling of sitting on a rocking horse, and muttered in his heart: I can't learn this equestrian trick?

……

The slanting sun shines through the window and spills into the west wing of Shoukang Palace.

Zhou Jingxian, who was lying on the bed, twitched her fingers slightly.

Concubine Jing, who was guarding the edge of the bed, suddenly burst into tears and shouted outside: "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come, Jingxian girl is awake!" ”

Zhou Jingxian heard her grandmother's angry voice echoing in her ears, and she slowly opened her eyes to see the strange and familiar curtain.

It was strange because she had seen the decoration for the first time in this bed, and it was familiar because it had seen the indigo color and pattern in the room where her father had lived when he was a child.

This was the first time she had spent the night in the palace, but she didn't expect to be admitted due to illness.

"Jingxian girl, you are awake, you have been asleep for two days."

Zhou Jingxian was personally helped by Concubine Jing to sit up, and just wanted to speak, her throat burned and hurt.

"Ahem...... Water ......"

"Water, water, pour water!"

After the palace maid poured a glass of warm water herself, Concubine Jing took it and took the lead in taking a sip, which came to Zhou Jingxian's mouth.

In the past, Zhou Jingxian would not have paid attention to such details, but at this time, when she saw her grandmother's actions, she understood in her heart.

Grandmother's palace should have the eyeliner of Emperor An's concubine or King Jin, and grandmother heard that Zhou An's death had something to do with her, and she was worried that King Jin would send someone to poison her.

Grandmother was too nervous.

If she really had an accident at this time, the imperial grandfather would definitely blame the king of Jin, and the king of Jin would be able to endure Zhou An's death in front of the imperial grandfather, and settle the account after the autumn, and it would not be calculated when she was in the limelight.

"Jingxian girl, you are really working too hard this time, the imperial doctor said that you almost injured Neili, and you must recuperate for a month, after your imperial grandfather heard about it, he specially issued an order to Jiangnan Province, so that Tong Duzao can temporarily take over your official affairs, if you can't cope with it, go to your fiefdom Wuhu County to find someone to take over."

Fief?

Zhou Jingxian, who was swallowing warm water in small sips, moved in her heart and showed joy on her face.

"Grandpa Huang gave me the gold book and gold seal?"

Without the golden book and the golden seal, it is not true that you have all the rights of the fief.

But Zhou An's death, even if the imperial grandfather didn't blame her, it was impossible for the Jin royal faction to let the imperial grandfather give her the golden book and gold seal of the county lord.
