Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Next, Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu took Jia Lian to some famous attractions in Yangzhou to eat, drink and have fun.

During these few days of contact, Jia Lian would occasionally talk about how wonderful and desirable life in Jinling was, which made Lin Daiyu become curious. However, after Mu Xi's reminder, Lin Daiyu finally extinguished her budding desire, leaving a trace of shadow.

This morning!

Mu Xi smiled and said, "Brother Lian, I plan to take you to the farm outside the city to race horses today. What do you think?"

Jia Lian replied gently, "Everything is up to cousin Xi to arrange."

Then the group came to a farm in the suburbs.

Jia Lian asked with a smile, "Can the two little cousins ​​ride horses?"

"My cousin and Yu'er both learned horse riding and archery."

Mu Xi responded with a smile and saw two young mares being led over.

Lin Daiyu and Mu Xi jumped onto their horses swiftly.

"Brother Lian, my cousin will run a lap first, and you can choose the horse first."

After Mu Xi finished speaking, he rode away on horseback with Daiyu.

Jia Lian, who was standing by, was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the two cousins ​​were so good at horse riding. He thought that their uncle would only let the cousins ​​learn some music, chess, calligraphy, painting and women's virtues, just like the ladies from a scholarly family.

"Snapped!"

"These two cousins ​​are really hidden talents!"

When Jia Lian saw that his two cousins ​​had finished running, he clapped his hands and praised them.

"Cousin, that's great. Have you chosen a horse?"

Mu Xi replied politely.

"I've chosen. How about we have a competition, cousin Xi?"

Looking at his heroic cousin, Jia Lian suddenly felt competitive and wanted to compete with him.

Mu Xi looked at Jia Lian with a puzzled look on her face. Is this cousin sick? How can she still be considered a child? How can a man in his twenties say such a thing?

Maybe it was because Mu Xi's eyes were too weird, Jia Lian also realized what he said, and awkwardly changed the topic and said, "Just kidding, cousin, look, I'm talking nonsense again."

I complained in my heart that my former cleverness was gone and how could I say such a thing.

Mu Xi stroked the horse's head and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's okay if cousin Lian wants to compete. My horse is named Yafeng and has a trace of Arabian horse blood. Although it looks small now, it is much faster than ordinary horses.

This is something Daddy found specially for me."

Daiyu asked jokingly, "I wonder if cousin Lian wants to compete with me."

There was a look of gloating in Lin Daiyu's eyes. When she was learning before, she was badly suppressed by her sister. Now someone came up to her on his own initiative. No matter whether he was her cousin or not, she just wanted to watch the show.

Jia Lian also became curious after hearing this, and wanted to see how fast it was, so he said, "Then please teach me, cousin Xi."

"I'll be the judge, sister and cousin, hurry up and get ready."

Lin Daiyu said with a little excitement.

So Lin Daiyu gave an order, and Mu Xi and Jia Lian rode out quickly on their horses.

Mu Xi leaned over to Ya Feng and said, "Baby, there will be a reward tonight if you win the game."

"hiss!"

Yafeng roared, and his glass-like eyes revealed excitement, and flew out like sharp arrows.

After Mu Xi became Ya Feng's owner, she fed it a few drops of spiritual spring water. To Mu Xi's surprise, these few drops of spiritual spring water gave Ya Feng some intelligence.

Xiaotian said sourly, "Host, you are biased. You have never called me little darling."

Mu Xi took a long time to coax Xiaotian into calmness.

Under Jia Lian's shocked eyes, Mu Xi rode Yafeng and rushed to the finish line quickly.

"Clap!"

"Sister is so awesome!"

Lin Daiyu shouted excitedly.

"Tap!"

Later, Jia Lian also rode his horse to the finish line.

Jia Lian's self-esteem was a little hit. He was not even as good as his little cousin. If people knew about it, where would he put his face? Fortunately, this was Yangzhou, where he didn't know anyone. He smiled a little stiffly and said, "Cousin Xi's riding skills are really good."

Mu Xi smiled and replied, "This is all thanks to Yafeng. How can my cousin be so amazing?"

"hiss!"

Yafeng hissed in response.

The reason why Mu Xi attacked Jia Lian like this this time was because she was really tired of being advised these days, so she wanted to take a little revenge.

Jia Lian also took the opportunity to praise Yafeng.

Afterwards, several people came to the yard to barbecue.

Jia Lian sighed casually, "My sisters at home often have barbecues, recite poems, and go to the garden together. It's very lively. If the two cousins ​​can come together, it will be even more lively."

"It's just a gathering of noble ladies. We don't have to be in Jinling. We just need to post a message and there will be as many noble ladies as we want. However, we usually have a lot to learn, so we don't have much free time to play. But we will go out once a month for flower-viewing banquets and the like."

Lin Daiyu replied in confusion.

Jia Lian choked when he heard this. Is the main point the flower-viewing banquet? The main point is the presence of cousins, right?

Then he said, "Your grandmother hasn't seen you for many years, and she would nag you from time to time."

This is another attempt to play the family card. Mu Xi smiled and replied, "So grandma thinks of us so much. I'm so happy. But grandma has many children and grandchildren, unlike daddy. After mom passed away, she only had us two relatives around her."

As she spoke, Mu Xi's eyes turned slightly red and her voice became a little choked up.

Jia Lian's scalp began to tingle when he saw this scene. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't be sad, cousin Xi. Let's try these barbecues."

Lin Daiyu's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Mu Xi worriedly and said, "Sister, don't be sad, you still have your sister."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was about to cry, Mu Xi stopped pretending and changed the subject.

After that, Jia Lian never tempted Lin Daiyu and Mu Xi to go to Jinling again. After having a happy meal and playing, they went back.

"Grrrrrr!"

The carriage kept moving forward, heading back to the city from the suburbs.

"Sister, how about we go out and play again next time?"

Lin Daiyu said with some lingering feelings.

"How about we play something else next time?"

Mu Xi replied with a smile, but in her heart she was thinking about bringing Daiyu to the orchard to play next time and work in the fields at the same time.

"hiss!"

"Oh!"

"oops!"

"Miss!"

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Lin Daiyu fell to the side with a look of horror on her face.

Fortunately, Mu Xi reacted quickly and supported Lin Daiyu, preventing her from hitting her head.

Xueyan, who was serving on the side, exclaimed.

"Cousin Xi and Cousin Yu, are you two okay?"

At this time, Jia Lian's voice came in.

After Mu Xi comforted Lin Daiyu, she lifted the curtain and said, "My sister and I are fine, what happened?"

"It's still unclear. Suddenly, dozens of masked men rushed out from the front, and some things blocked the way."

Jia Lian said with some uneasiness.
