This horse was bought by Zhang Ning, and he will sell it after he is done, because Zhang Ning does not know how to raise horses.

Zhang Ning's riding skills are good, but Liu Xiuxiu is riding a horse for the first time, so her little face is tense and shrinks into Zhang Ning's arms. If Zhang Ning let her go, she might fall off the horse.

After coming to the Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Ning turned over and dismounted first, and then hugged Xiuxiu off the horse. When her feet landed, Liu Xiuxiu immediately exhaled, and her tense little face eased a lot.

After Liu Xiuxiu adjusted her breathing, Zhang Ning took her hand to see Mrs. Jin, Zhang Ning bent down to Mrs. Jin and said, "Auntie, this is Xiuxiu." ”

"Xiuxiu, this is Won-woong and Hussar's mother, Lady Kim. Immediately, Zhang Ning introduced Liu Xiuxiu again.

Liu Xiuxiu had seen Li Yuanxiong and Li Huqi, but it was the first time she saw Mrs. Jin. Thinking that the other party was the mother of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, he was a little nervous.

glanced up at Zhang Ning, and then said obediently: "Auntie." ”

Mrs. Jin and Li Hussar, Li Yuanxiong's mother and son's faces were actually ugly for a while, wasn't this trip a honeymoon trip? Why did this pair of mandarin ducks come together?

Riding a horse in tandem is simply sweet. The mother and son all seemed to hear the sound of their hearts breaking.

"Xiuxiu. Mrs. Jin's face changed quickly, showing a very kind expression, and then she took off a bracelet from her hand, took Liu Xiuxiu's hand, and said, "When we meet for the first time, my aunt doesn't have any good greeting gifts." ”

"It's too precious. Seeing this, Liu Xiuxiu exclaimed, although she was a local bun from a common family, she also knew that this bracelet was worth more than 10,000 gold.

"This is a little bit of my aunt's heart, take it. On the contrary, Zhang Ning is very open-minded. When Liu Xiuxiu heard this, she carefully touched the bracelet, bowed to Mrs. Jin and said, "Thank you, aunt." ”

After that, Mrs. Jin pretended not to care and said: "This time it is a long way to go to Wuzhou, the journey is tiring, Xiuxiu has not cultivated True Qi, it is an ordinary daughter's family, Xiao Ning, why did you bring her?"

Li Bi rode aside and nodded wildly.

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "I grew up so big that I never took Xiuxiu out to play in the mountains and rivers, so I took this opportunity to take her to Wuzhou to have a look." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ning touched Liu Xiuxiu's little head very dotingly, Liu Xiuxiu showed a shy look, and leaned towards Zhang Ning.

This made Mrs. Jin and Li Hussar eclipsed for a while, and Li Yuanxiong turned his head, this scene was really miserable.

However, Mrs. Jin and the little sister of the Li family are not people who give up easily, and soon Mrs. Jin regained her smile, and the little sister of the Li family took Liu Xiuxiu's hand and went to the side to talk.

The two of them know each other well.

Zhang Ning didn't care, and at this time, Li Yuanxiong introduced Zhang Ning to Su Shuang, the accompanying manager. Li Yuanxiong called Aunt Su Shuang very politely, and Zhang Ning also politely called Aunt Su.

Su Shuang smiled and was very amiable.

As for the other guards, there is no need to introduce them, after all, they are just the subordinates of the Ningguo Mansion. After that, the little sister of the Li family and Su Shuang each got into the carriage, while Zhang Ning and Liu Xiuxiu rode together and hurried along with the carriage procession.

It was not good to gallop in the capital of Qi, and after going out, Zhang Ning drove the horse and galloped with Liu Xiuxiu.

The wind was blowing, and the clothes and hair of the two were flying. Yoo so-so was scared at first, screaming from time to time, but then she became happy and giggled.

On the carriage at the back, the little sister of the Li family lifted the curtain and looked at the mandarin ducks galloping together on the horse, and her heart was sour.

The little sister of the Li family rolled her eyes and thought about it. She opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu." Riding a horse is really a butt, come to the carriage and take a seat. ”

"Okay. After Liu Xiuxiu galloped for a while, she also felt that her buttocks hurt, so she said. Zhang Ning let Liu Xiuxiu come down, and the little sister of the Li family kindly pulled Liu Xiuxiu into the carriage, and the second daughter chattered in the carriage from time to time.

Wuzhou is in the southeast, which is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, a first-class rich land in the world. There are 38 states in the world, but 10% of the taxes of the imperial court come from Wuzhou.

Among them, Hangzhou is the center of Wuzhou, and the number of officials in Hangzhou is incomparable with Qidu. But the prosperity and population are surpassed, and it is the first great city in the world.

It also takes twenty or thirty days to arrive at Hangcheng Express from Qidu, depending on the horse's foot strength. Of course, the carriage was slower, first twenty or thirty days, then by water, and another twenty or thirty days, at least a month and a half.

The Ning Fat Academy is quite famous in the world. But if you want to say that famous and noble women want to study, it is that Mrs. Jin is talking nonsense.

The wealth of the world is in Wuzhou, and the power of the world's families is in Qidu.

Even if you want to practice as a bride, learn articles, learn poetry, female red, weave, cook, etc., there are naturally good professionals in the Ningguo Mansion, and there is no need for Li Huqi to go to the Ning Fat Academy to study.

On the contrary, most of the women who went to study at the Condensation Academy were wealthy businessmen or the daughters of ordinary officials, and after raising their daughters, they married into powerful families.

So much for.

All in all, the little sister of the Li family went to study at the Clotting Academy just a pretext, not the main purpose.

Nearly two months is a long journey, of course. Liu Xiuxiu has never been out of the range of Qidu, and of course she was excited when she came outside for the first time, but she was an ordinary person, and after a tiring journey, she felt tired. And although this scenery is beautiful, it is also greasy to see too much.

Only a dozen days later, Liu Xiuxiu is like a frosted eggplant.

In the afternoon, it was very gloomy, as if it was going to rain. And at this moment it has entered the cold winter, and the weather is very, very cold.

In this ghost weather, there are not many pedestrians on the road. Although Li Hussar had a charcoal fire lit in the carriage, and Liu Xiuxiu also wrapped himself into a ball, he was still very cold, very tired, and listless.

Zhang Ning was a little distressed, and saw that there was a roadside wine shop in front of him, so he asked the team to stop and go to the front wine shop to rest. I won't leave today, and after eating and filling my stomach, I'll camp nearby.

However, Zhang Ning and the others came unfortunately, when they came to the wine shop, there was a carriage parked near the wine shop, many fast horses, and people with swords watching.

These Jianghu people drank wine, nibbled on steamed buns, dried meat, and their eyes were very cold, and they were quite wary of people passing by. Zhang Ning glanced at the small flag planted on the carriage.

Embroidered on it were four words, "Kamikaze Dart Bureau." ”

Zhang Ning hadn't heard of it, turned over and dismounted and entered the wine shop, and those dart masters were even more vigilant when they saw Zhang Ning's team stop, but they all restrained themselves and didn't do anything.

After Zhang Ning entered the wine shop, the wine shop was also full of people. It should be the same group of people as the dart master outside the wine shop. They also looked at Zhang Ning, and Zhang Ning didn't say much. came to the boss and said to the boss: "Boss, come to twenty jars of wine, as many steamed bun dishes as you want." ”

"Okay. "The boss readily responded.
