Several children didn't want to do much, and waved their hands one after another: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's ...... to do it."

Seeing that they would not report to their homes, the boy pulled the woman's sleeve and said, "I have given them this horse." ”

Huai'an: ???

The woman said, "People have helped you, they are gracious to you, and they can say that they are rewarded, and they are grateful." ”

Only then did the child say: "Yes, yes, yes, it is a gift of gratitude to them." ”

Huai'an hurriedly said: "No thanks, but this horse is not necessary, it is too precious, you can take it back." ”

Of course, it can be difficult to take it away.

Xiao Tong shook his head and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, compared to this purse, ten hundred horses are nothing." ”

Wow, it's not a small tone.

The woman smiled and said, "In this case, it is not early, we must go back first, so you should also go home early." ”

Huai'an nodded, and saw Xiao Tong following his aunt in the direction of the carriage.

"Wait, take your horse away!" Huai'an said urgently.

The boy turned back to Huai'an and grimaced, pointing to the rebellious pony who was grazing: "It's called the moon, it's very sensible, whoever raises it knows." ”

"I believe you're a ghost!" Huai'an scolded indignantly, and asked again: "What's your name?" ”

"Ronghe." The boy turned his back to him and jumped into the carriage without looking back.

Seeing that the little master had really left, the rebellious pony stood in place for a long time, and then came to Huai'an's side and snorted. Huai'an was startled, and as soon as he reached out, he grabbed its reins effortlessly.

"This ...... What can I do? The children looked at each other. The second cousin asked, "Cousin, can you raise it?" ”

Huai'an circled around the white horse, it was really beautiful, the whole body was silvery, the mane was flowing and smooth, and it looked like a small pet that was carefully raised with very fine forage.

Firmament! Why would he have a horse that doesn't walk in a straight line as a pet?!

The white horse didn't seem to want to be abandoned a second time, held his head high, walked around Huai'an with vigorous steps, and then snorted again, spraying Huai'an with a spit on his face to show his approval of the new master.

Huai'an wiped his face and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "How much forage does this guy have to eat in a month?" ”

"Probably," the second cousin said uncertainly, "it's more expensive than raising one." ”

Chapter 45

Huai'an was speechless when he heard it, and thought about it, even in the later generations, raising horses is not a very common thing, let alone raising the body and coat color so well.

The house in my hometown is large, and there are many people, so I have three horses. There are only two courtyards in the capital, and the stables can't be put down, and there are only a few subordinates, who are so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their heels on weekdays, and they don't have the space and energy to take care of a horse. The carriages used by my father and his family are all rented for a long time at the carriage and horse dealership.

Seeing the little white horse walking around him and flattering himself, Huai'an touched its big face, and was in trouble for a while.

You can't leave it here alone.

Leading the pony back to the manor, Huai'an was a little apprehensive.

In the last life, my younger brother took a dog home, and my parents pretended to agree on the surface, but at night, while my brother was asleep, I rode a battery car out and threw the dog to a factory a few kilometers away, and boasted that I had a good heart, and the people in the factory would inevitably feed it, etc.

The next day I lied to my brother, and when I opened the door in the morning, the dog ran away on its own. My brother went to school crying, and came home from school with swollen eyes like walnuts. Huai'an tried to tell him the truth several times, but his father threatened him to beat him if he dared to tell the truth.

Although my father and mother in this life will never do something similar, but this ...... It's a horse, after all.

Huai'an scratched his head, it's hard to explain......

It was not early, and the people in the Zhuangzi were waiting outside, and when they saw the children coming back, they hurriedly turned back to report it.

Only then did the elders in the hall relax their hearts, and after a while, they saw a few children go out empty-handed and come back with a living thing.

This horse is pure white and has a mane like a waterfall, which does not look like a folk species, or even a mortal species.

"Whose horse is this?" Chen Chong stood under the eaves, slightly surprised.

Children, you said everything that had just happened, and tried to prove that it was the other party's strong man who made it difficult, and threw down this pony and ran away.

Huai'an, who can usually speak well, was dumb at this time, he held the reins in one hand and rubbed the other hand on the horse's neck, seemingly a little nervous.

Chen Chong walked down the stairs and looked at the horse. He has been in the military department for a long time, and he is indispensable to deal with war horses, and he has a rough understanding of the method of horses.

First look at the mouth of the tooth and judge that it is a foal that is not yet a minor; Looking at the coat color and skeleton, it is really a good horse; Look at the temperament again...... Forget it, I can't stand it.

"Mother......" Huai'an wanted to speak and stopped.

"Do you want to raise it?" Xu Tinglan asked.

Huai'an nodded: "I really want to, but if it's not easy to raise at home, it's okay to keep it in Zhuangzi, this guy is a bit stupid, and he can't live if he throws it out." ”

Xu Tinglan smiled with relief, she knew that her son usually looked naughty and mischievous, and he was very sensible at critical times, and he never made unreasonable troubles to embarrass his father and mother, and it was precisely because of this that it was even more distressing.

Xu Tinglan said: "This horse is very valuable at first glance, and you have to figure out the origin." ”

As a wife of an official, Xu Tinglan is very sensitive, and now that the situation between the DPRK and China is tense, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and if someone tries to bribe through his children, the problem will be complicated.

Shen Yu understood his wife's worries, so he asked Huai'an: "Do you know whose child it is?" ”

Huai An said: "He only said that his name was Rong He, but he didn't say where his family lived." ”

Shen Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Ronghe? ”

Xu Tinglan also said strangely: "It's still the national surname." ”

Shen Yu nodded: "Isn't it a national surname, he is the grandson of the current saint." ”

Xu Tinglan was surprised: "Prince of Qi? ”

Shen Yu nodded.

Xu Tinglan wanted to speak and stopped. Zheng Ge was asking her husband to stand in line, and the prince of Qi sent a horse, is this just a coincidence?

Huai An looked at his father and mother and asked cautiously, "I didn't do anything wrong, right?" ”

Shen Yu smacked his son's head and said, "No, we can take this horse home first, but it is too valuable, whether you can raise it or not, you have to ask the child's family first." ”

Huai'an nodded again, indicating that he understood.

As they spoke, Chen Chong had ordered someone to bring a handful of forage to feed the moon, and the moon was obviously not used to eating the forage eaten by such "civilians", her nose fluttered, her eyelashes flickered, and she turned her head away, without even looking at it.

"Hey, that's delicate." Chen Chong said.

Huai'an saw that there was a carrot planted in the garden, plucked a few to feed it, and the moon saw that the carrot's eyes were shining, and his forepaws stepped back and forth, shaking his head, like a lion dance at a temple fair.

The moon ate the carrot, and was even more excited, roaring around Huai'an, hoping to spread his hooves and run up to eight hundred miles in one go.

Chen Chong said to Huai'an: "This foal looks two years old and can be ridden and played occasionally, but if you really want to carry people and things, you need to wait another half a year." ”

Huai'an said that he remembered, and took a bald carrot field from his uncle's house, filled a large basket, and walked away with the basket.

The Chen family can't eat carrots this year.

Xu Tinglan stood under the eaves and had a headache: "When you touch your mouth up and down, it's easy to come down, you can't keep it in the house, right?" ”

Shen Yu said: "Let's go to build a temporary stable next door and make do for a while." I asked someone to go to the palace to ask if it was a game between the children, or if King Qi had other intentions. ”

……

Yunqingguan, take the meaning of "the cloud is in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle", the Taoist people in the view are willing to lend some vacant land and houses, and send people to assist the nobles to open a porridge factory to give porridge.

On the gorgeous carriage next to the official road, the white-clothed boy Ronghe is holding the window, and the homeless people are lining up to receive porridge.

He saw the man who had just snatched his purse, coming out of the crowd with a bowl of porridge in his hand, his eyes wandering around, froze on the two little girls who were squatting on the side of the road stacking stones.

Rong He was a little surprised, the man was skinny, and the two daughters looked healthy except for being a little dirty.

"Big girl, two girls!" The man ran up: "Quick, drink while it's hot." ”

Two children held a bowl, each took a sip, and drank porridge in large gulps.

"Dad, you eat too." The sensible eldest girl stuffed the porridge bowl to her father.

The man patted his shriveled belly and looked satisfied: "I just met a rich family and ate a big chicken leg for my father!" You can't eat it now, so eat it yourself. ”

Erya smiled enviously: "Dad, it's amazing!" ”

The man looked around, took out two small pieces of bacon from the placket of his shirt and threw them into the bowl, and whispered, "Quick, eat." ”

He is quite shrewd compared to most people, and once he has a place to stay, he will go to work, and will never sit still or wait for the so-called relief of the imperial court, so that he can support his two daughters, not like other children, not to mention those desperate fellow villagers, pawn wives and sell daughters, and separate flesh and blood.

Rong He closed the curtain and snuggled up to his aunt.

His aunt is the sister of King Qi, Princess Wenyang, she is not on good terms with the horses, and she is too lazy to call once a year, half of the time is to live in the Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing to clean herself, this time to help the victims of the porridge factory, it is several nobles in the palace to jointly fund, entrusted to her.

Princess Wenyang has not been favored since she was a child, and she has not saved much for herself, but she is happy to help run errands, but she is sad when she sees the food in the warehouse dwindling day by day.

"Auntie, how can we get these people home?" Rong He asked.

Princess Wenyang said: "Actually, it is complicated and simple, there is enough food to last until the spring of next year, and then allocate funds to the local government, exempt them from taxes and debts, and give enough food to survive the spring famine, and these people will naturally return to their hometowns." ”

Rong He was still young, and he was dizzy when he heard it, so he summed it up in two words: "Give money." ”

"How much does it cost?" He asked.

Princess Wenyang said with a smile: "Even if this aunt can't come out, naturally the more the better, at least pass this winter first, don't let them freeze to death and starve to death." ”

Ronghe nodded. Got it, gotta get the money!

"He'er, why do you have to give the horse to that child?" Princess Wenyang asked puzzled.

Rong He's long eyelashes drooped: "Father wants to reduce the expenses of the palace, and ordered half of the horses to be sent away." The moon was not usually fond of work, and was very good at eating, and instigated the other horses in the stable not to work either, and I saw that the eunuch in charge of the horses wanted to send it away. ”

He knew that he couldn't keep the moon, and he had a rare opportunity to go out with his aunt today, so he took it out to relax, but he didn't expect that his purse was robbed, and he also ran into a group of children in Huai'an.

He saw that Huai'an's family was well-off and righteous, so he simply gave him the moon, which was better than selling it to a horse dealer. I just hope that this moon can understand the current affairs, change his mind and make a horse again, and don't be kicked out by others.

On the way back to the city, the moon was tied to the carriage and ran with it, perhaps because of the carrots, and it was very longing for a new life, and twisted the big Yangge with handsome steps.

Farmers in the fields, children grazing, and small traders carrying their burdens...... They all threw strange glances at it, and the rate of turning heads was high.

"Why doesn't this horse go in a straight line?" Huai Ming sent out a soul torture.

Huai'an sat on pins and needles, holding his forehead and sighing, it seems that he misunderstood Ronghe's riding skills, riding this horse, anyone has to be like a drunk driver!
