Chapter 4: The Troubles of Parents
At night, in the main room of the house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Ying and Yi Yue sat opposite each other, talking at night. "Husband, do you mean that the matter of marriage was proposed at today's banquet?" Yuan Ying nodded and said, "That's right, during the day, Brother Jin Shang was full of praise for Yuan Qi after Yuan Qi surrendered that snowy horse. During the afternoon banquet, Brother Jin Shang once asked me what I thought. The mother said: "Jinyi had the name of a talented woman when she was young, if you marry Yuanqi, it will be a match made in heaven, but I don't know how old Jinyi is now?" Yuan Ying stroked his beard and said: "When Brother Jinshang talked about his daughter today, his face was full of self-satisfaction, and he wanted to come to the name of a talented woman, which should be true." Otherwise, with Brother Jin Shang's person, he will not be complacent. I paid attention and asked carefully, his daughter is seven years old this year, but she is one year younger than Yuan Qi. The mother smiled and said, "Listening to the tone of the husband, it seems to be a little interesting?" Yuan Ying laughed and said: "In my opinion, this matter will be settled, Brother Jin Shang is a great Confucian in the world, and he is also a good match with my family, what does the lady think?" The mother nodded her head and said: "It is according to the husband's will." ”
At noon the next day, Yi Laozhang, Jin Shang and the father and son of the Yuan family were all present. After three rounds of wine, Yuan Ying picked up the wine glass and saluted Jin Shang from afar, and said: "Brother Jin Shang, my wife and I have made a decision last night, and we have also made it clear to my father-in-law this morning. When Jin Shang heard this, he hurriedly picked up the wine glass and saluted Yuan Ying, saying: "Brother Meng Yuan Ying does not give up, Shang is really happy in his heart, please drink this cup to the full." The two of them said incomprehensible words, which made the two teenagers Yuan and Yuan Qi sitting on the side confused and didn't know why.
Uncle Yi smiled and took a sip of the wine glass, then turned to Yuan Qi and said: "Yuan Qi, yesterday your uncle liked your young hero and wanted to marry you as the only daughter, your parents have agreed, and the old man is also very happy in his heart." After hearing this, Yuan Qi's face was immediately full of embarrassment, his face was flushed, and he said after a while: "Grandfather, uncle, father, the child is still young, will I talk about this matter later?"
Yuan Ying smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's early, it's not early, your eldest brother is going to marry his wife next year, and now set your lifelong events, and there will be no regrets in my father's heart." Yuan Qi's face was flushed, and he saluted everyone and said, "The child occasionally felt cold and felt unwell, so he retired first." As for the marriage, it is up to the uncle and father to decide. After saying that, he ran out of the lobby as if he were running away.
"Flutter", Yuan He couldn't help but squirt out a sip of wine that had just reached his mouth after listening to Yuan Qi's words, coughing violently, and laughing: "Occasionally, haha, cough, the second brother is as strong as a cow, cough cough, and he insists on practicing martial arts, where does the wind and cold come from?" Haha, it's clearly a thin face...... There was a burst of laughter in the lobby, and even Yuan Ying, who is usually strict with his two sons, did not accuse Yuan He of being rude at the moment, but instead had a relieved smile on his face, and his laughter was exceptionally hearty.
Three days later, Jin Shang said goodbye to Yuan Ying and left alone. Soon after Jin Shang left, Yuan Ying came to the backyard and stood at the gate of the courtyard, silently watching Yuan Qi practice swords. Almost at the moment when Yuan Ying set his eyes on Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi's originally stretched figure suddenly became tense, like a big bow ready to go, and the long sword in his hand changed even more, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at where Yuan Ying was, as if it was a sharp arrow on the bow, ready to shoot at any time.
Yuan Ying felt the dangerous aura emanating from Yuan Qi's body, but he was very satisfied in his heart, and said, "It's for the father." After Yuan Qi saw that the person who came was Yuan Ying, he immediately lost his momentum, put away his long sword, and saluted with his sword. Yuan Ying nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what time it is, you must be vigilant enough." At no time should you throw away your weapon. Very good, my father has a deep understanding of these truths on the battlefield, but what my father doesn't understand is that you have never been on the battlefield, and you have never met a famous teacher, how do you understand these truths?"
Yuan Qi opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, he couldn't tell his father that he was an instinct he had practiced in his previous life? Yuan Ying was amazed: "Yuan Qi, as you grow older, your father is becoming more and more unable to see through you, is this really a superhuman talent? ”
Rarely lowered his head, Yuan Qi said humbly: "Father is too famous." But in my heart, I thought: "Superhuman understanding, no matter what field? Your son and I have crossed over from modern society, if I am not afraid that you will be surprised, I can memorize a thousand Tang poems and Song lyrics, these skills have been practiced in the previous life." ”
Yuan Ying didn't know what Yuan Qi was thinking, he just laughed twice with relief, and then said to Yuan Qi: "It's okay, you continue to practice swords, by the way, my father came to you to tell you that I have discussed with your Uncle Jin, and when you reach the age of sixteen, I will let you and Yi'er worship and marry." When Yuan Qi heard this, he buried his head lower, and replied in a voice not much bigger than the cry of a mosquito: "Yes, but it is up to my father to decide." Yuan Ying smiled and nodded, turned around and walked out.
When he was about to walk outside the courtyard, Yuan Ying turned back to Yuan Qi and said: "By the way, the pony that your grandfather gave you, you take more time to take care of it, the divine horse is psychic, and cultivate more feelings, which will be of great benefit to you when you go to the battlefield in the future. Yuan Qi replied, "Yes, the child wrote it down." ”
After Yuan Ying left, Yuan Qi held the sword but couldn't calm down to practice the sword. In his previous life, he was an orphan, his biggest hobby was practicing martial arts, and he had never talked about a girlfriend, but now he suddenly had an extra fiancée, which couldn't help but make him at a loss. What's even more dazed is that he already has a fiancée when he is only eight years old?
"Alas, I heard that she is a beautiful woman with both talents and appearances, and I really want to see what she is like as soon as possible. "Look up at the sky, I simply don't practice the sword anymore, anyway, today's state of mind has been destroyed, and there is no good effect if I force it to practice, so it's better to take a look at the jade unicorn.
When he came to the stable, far away, Yuan Qi saw his own jade unicorn, because its snow-white fur was too conspicuous, and at night, its snow-white fur could also refract the moonlight, as if emitting a layer of silver light, just like its name - jade unicorn!
Yuan Qi walked quickly to the side of the jade unicorn, reached out and stroked the mane of the beloved horse a few times, then put his face on the horse's face, and asked softly: "Qilin, did you miss me?" The jade unicorn neighed in a low voice, as if in response, and then stretched out his tongue and licked the back of Yuan Qi's hand a few times, making Yuan Qi tingle.
"Let's go, let's go out for a yo-yo. After speaking, Yuan Qi released the reins of the jade unicorn, then placed the saddle placed on the side of the unicorn's back, took the reins, and walked out of the county guard's mansion.
Coming to the suburbs, Yuan Qi turned over his horse, patted the neck of the jade unicorn, and shouted: "Hurry!" The jade unicorn spread its four hooves and ran into the distance like a lightning speed. After running for more than half an hour, the jade qilin was still radiant, but Yuan Qi, who was sitting on horseback, was a little unbearable. After running for a while, Yuan Qi took the reins and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" The jade unicorn in the gallop immediately retracted its strength, its hind hooves slammed into the ground, and its front hooves kicked small steps, standing firmly on the ground. Yuan Qi turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to wipe it on the horse's back, and saw a layer of sweat as red as blood in his palm, and praised: "Qilin, you really deserve to be the descendant of the Snowy Horse King, a purebred sweat and blood horse, I heard that the sweat of the sweat and blood BMW is the same color as the blood, and when I look at it today, it is indeed so." Qilin understood Yuan Qi's praise, raised his head, and snorted loudly, as if he replied to Yuan Qi arrogantly: Of course!
Yuan Qi was amused by the arrogant demeanor of the jade unicorn, loosened the reins, pointed to the grass not far away, and said, "Go find some grass to eat." The unicorn stretched out its big tongue, licked Yuanqi's face affectionately, and then trotted to find the grass to feed. Looking at the jade unicorn's sturdy figure, Yuan Qi suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something. After thinking hard for a long time, Yuan Qi's mind flashed with inspiration, why did he feel tired after running on a horse for more than half an hour? The answer was a saddle! No wonder he always felt that something was missing from the unicorn, and it turned out to be a saddle! The saddle in this world is a low-bridge saddle, and the stability is poor, which makes him, a person who was used to riding a high-bridge saddle in his previous life, feel very uncomfortable and laborious.
Yuan Qi understood that he had overlooked a problem, that is, some commonplace things in his previous life were not available in this era. In the previous life, almost all horses were equipped with Takahashi saddles, bilateral stirrups, horseshoe nails on the horseshoe, and even those inferior horses that were just riding in the tourist area. And in this world era, these things, even on the back of the most divine horse, do not have these things, because these things have not been invented in this world.
Thinking about this question, Yuan Qi became excited. If you organize a cavalry by yourself in the future, equipped with a high bridge saddle, bilateral stirrups, and horseshoes, what a sharp team it will be! By the way, there is also a horse chopping knife, which is a great weapon of foot combat, and if the infantry is equipped with a horse chopping knife, won't they be able to organize an elite cavalry and an elite infantry in the future?
Hehe, Yuan Qi smirked a few times, lay comfortably on the grass, looked at the blue sky, and fell into an infinite beautiful reverie.
