Seeing that the second month was coming to an end, in the evening of this day, Lu Xinyi was brushing the horse in the stable, and a person behind him slowly stepped forward, and without saying a word, he pulled a horse away.

In the past, the people who came to lead the horses were the attendants of each courtyard, but she had never seen this one, and when she saw that she was very angry, she stopped the man:

"Hey, who are you? Which master did you command? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Xinyi standing aside with a brush, and the brush was still wet and dripping.

I don't know if I don't look back, as soon as I look back, Lu Xinyi feels that this person is very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully for a long time, I can't remember where I have seen it.

The man re-tied his horse, stepped forward, and looked Xin Yi up and down: "Are you a new horseman?" ”

"Yes." Lu Xinyi was not to be outdone, and also looked him up and down, "Who are you?" ”

The man laughed, saluted, and said, "I am a close servant of the prince and a newcomer, so you don't know me." ”

"Then do you have a prince waist card?"

"Nature." As he spoke, the man took out a waist card from his arms, and sure enough, it was the waist card of the prince, Lu Xinyi didn't say anything, turned his head and went back and brushed the horse again.

Who knew that the man did not go far, but followed Lu Xinyi, leaning against the pillar of the stable, looking at her, and when she had finished brushing one side, and was about to turn the other side to brush, the man spoke:

"I heard that a man died in this stable not long ago, aren't you afraid?"

Lu Xinyi only felt annoyed: "People die like lights go out, the living are not afraid, and I have nothing to fear of the dead." ”

When the man heard this, he laughed: "You little snake demon actually don't believe in ghosts and gods. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xinyi was silent for a while, then straightened up, crossed his waist and said to the man, "Didn't you lead the horse for the prince?" Why, if you don't do your own business, why do you come to bother me? ”

The man smiled and nodded, turned away, and just untied the reins of the horse, he shouted to Xin Yi's side:

"Little snake demon, don't brush the horse at night, the wind is cold at night, and the horse is easy to catch a cold!"

With that, he got on his horse and drove away. Xin Yi patted his head: Yes, I just thought that I would be able to sleep lazily tomorrow morning, but I tortured this horse in vain!

But for the next few days, the man came to lead the horse, which caused the horse to also need some extra feed, and Lu Xinyi cursed in a low voice while feeding the forage:

"Let you ride, let you ride, a dignified prince of the country, thinking about hunting on horseback all day long, not doing business, only knowing that lying down to win, and keeping it in the future is useless!"

"Then you might as well tell me, how can you have a chance?" A word came faintly behind him, Lu Xinyi was startled, and when he turned around and saw that it was the kid, he couldn't help but stroke his chest and said:

"Why don't you make a sound when you walk!"

"It's clear that you're scolding too focused!"

Lu Xinyi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and left the stable: "Don't ride this one today, it will be tired, there are so many horses here, why don't you change one, and the rain and dew will be wet!" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, laughed for a long time, and even lost his breath, bending over and supporting his knees with his hands: "You are young, what are you talking about!" ”

"What...... What? "She's a bit of a second monk.

The man straightened up and looked at her with a smile: "What's your name?" ”

"Xinyi."

"It's the same name as the princess of the previous dynasty, and she's not small."

"I'm not from Jingguo, I'm a snake and insect in the mountains." Lu Xinyi casually made a lie.

The man nodded: "My name is Zijing, I can promise you not to ride this horse today, but you also have to grant me a request." ”

Looking at the tired horse, Lu Xinyi's heart softened for a while, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What request?" ”

"Today you and I went out on the same horse, the sun is about to set, and it is time to watch the sunset."

She was a little suspicious: "Didn't you ask the prince to lead the horse?" If you take a horse out of the house without permission, won't the prince blame you? ”

Zijing laughed heartily, shook his head, grabbed Xin Yi's sleeve, and took her to the stable to choose a horse.

One horse after another walked by, he smiled and said: "The horse here today you say to ride whichever one, you can ride whichever one, I was ordered by the prince to walk the horse for him, the prince is busy with affairs, how can I take care of it...... Rain and dew! ”

With that, he stuck out his tongue mischievously and looked at Xin Yi.

Xin Yi pointed to the flower horse at the far edge of the stable, its coat color was not very bright, because there were two black patches on its eyes, it looked extremely ugly, and no one wanted to ride it when they went out.

"That's it, it rarely goes out."

Zijing glanced at it, first puzzled, but then understood. He took a pair of gloves out of his belly, put them on his hands, and went to lead the horse out.

Lu Xinyi asked, "Which one do I ride?" ”

Zijing acted as a reason: "I only have the right to walk a horse, it seems that you can only ride this one with me today!" ”

She was a little hesitant, but heard Zijing say again: "But don't worry, I have a hidden disease since I was a child, and I can't have skin-to-skin contact with others, otherwise I will have a big rash all over my body, and my skin will ulcerate and die!" ”

Lu Xinyi was shocked: "Then you still have to ride with me!" ”

Zijing frowned, and said pitifully: "No way, under this strange disease, I am really lonely, but it's okay through the clothes, you can come up!" ”

Seeing that he was really pitiful, and that he had promised others, Lu Xinyi glanced at the tired horse, for fear that it would be sick, and the inhuman Guogong Mansion would kill it again, so he stretched out his hand and put it on Zijing's gloved hand.

One turned over, she sat down in front of the horse, and the two of them rode fast horses from the backyard directly to the forest farm, and when they passed by the back door, the doorman didn't even look at the token, and saw the afterimage of the two of them flash through the courtyard door.

After the forest farm, the sunset has been declining, the two came to a small cliff, only to see a piece of gold shining on the river, the river seems to be burning, floating under the gold, is a deeper flame.

Lu Xinyi took Zijing's hand down, both of them were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them, only to see that the sky in the distance was in the form of a layer of transformation, such as being impregnated with paint, the sea flowed, everything lost its original color at this moment, revealing a trace like the last light return of life, just waiting for the afterglow to burn out, Xin Yi couldn't help but say:

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk."

Zijing laughed: "You are so young, how can you memorize some such depressing verses!" ”

"Even such a blazing sun cannot sleep, let alone a person or a country? Rising in the east and falling in the west, living and dying together, arising from and perishing, is the essence of all things, and looking down on the rise and fall may be a kind of indifferent open-mindedness. ”

Hearing this, Zijing was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Whether it's indifference or reason, maybe this is the fate of all things, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs." If it were you, little Xinyi Hua'er, would you believe in your fate and accept your fate? ”
