Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 216 Riding a Horse
Xie Xian moved in with a group of sisters. Except for the bed sheets and quilt covers that needed to be replaced with their own, everything else was ready, and some of them even looked new.
"You mean, the academy spent a hundred taels of silver on renovations two days ago?" Xie Xian looked incredulous. Are the train of thought of these literati so bizarre?
In order to earn thirty taels, you have to lose a few hundred taels to warm up?
Xie Xian didn’t think too much about it. They had been traveling all day, and now she just wanted to lie down and sleep.
The next morning, Qingdai woke her up early. They were going to enjoy the cherry blossoms today, so the girls didn't sleep well.
"Sister, I didn't sleep well yesterday. The bed here is too hard." Xie Minyan complained.
"You can't sleep well if you don't toss and turn like a pancake." Xie Yao, holding a book, said mercilessly.
"Puchi, haha." Xie Huanlang next to them laughed out loud. The five sisters were sitting on the ox cart in the front, and their maids were also sitting in a cart. Then, Wu Nu and others who followed were riding horses.
However, these horses are all rented. The prices here are really hard to describe, especially the price of horses, which is really too high.
In Que County, you can buy a good horse for less than ten taels, but here, the price of a decent horse is over twenty taels.
Xie Xian thought about it and decided to rent a horse when traveling. However, there are not many people who rent horses, and the price is not low. After all, it is much cheaper than buying one.
Moreover, Wu Nu and his companions had traveled all over the country and knew a lot about horses. They picked out a few horses that were said to be good, which made it much more convenient for them to go out.
Xiang Jie and the others had strange expressions on their faces. Their own queen was too pragmatic in doing things, which was somewhat incompatible with Xie Xian's character as a noble lady.
Wu Nu rode on the horse and walked slowly. He touched the horse's back and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Xiang Jie came over and said, "What's the matter? You don't like horses?"
"It's good to have something to ride. There are few good horses in the south. This is much better than taking a car."
After saying that, he glanced at Meng Xiaoshan who was following behind the car. The boy was still excited about the novelty of the car. He sat on the horse with a ruddy face and looked around.
He never dreamed that one day he would be able to ride a horse.
"You got a good deal, kid!"
"Hehe, my lady is kind-hearted." Meng Xiaoshan smiled so hard that his back teeth were visible.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to ride. Relax and don't use your legs so hard!"
Xiang Jie had observed this kid over the past few days and found that he was smart and could be useful after some training, so he simply stopped avoiding him.
It’s just that Wu Nu is always in a bad mood. Oh, it’s so tiring to be a sandwich soup pancake.
"Brother Xiang, is this right?" Meng Xiaoshan climbed up the pole. He knew that this incident was also his opportunity. He had accompanied Xiang Jie to visit several gangs, but it opened his eyes.
Xiang Jie was tactful in his actions and his words were flawless, and a few intentional or unintentional suggestions from him benefited him a lot.
He naturally returned the favor, knowing that his chance to get on top of others had come.
"If we were to say, the best rider among us would have to be Wu Nu."
Meng Xiaoshan looked over flatteringly, and received a cold look from Wu Nu.
Xiang Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood why his fifth uncle sent him here. This guy was really not nice to anyone except his own master.
"Sister, why do you always see them riding horses?" Xie Minyan was a little surprised. There were people who rode horses in Que County, but not many. Most people still liked to go out by car.
Saddles and stirrups had already appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, but in some areas different materials were used to make stirrups, including rattan, wood, and the simplest ones made of cloth.
Therefore, apart from nomadic peoples, there are very few people who are good at riding horses. Xie Xian used to think that the "riding" among the six arts of a gentleman was riding a horse.
Later I learned that this "driving" is not the same as that "driving". It refers to the technique of driving a horse-drawn chariot, including the skills of "mingheluan", "zhushuiqu", "guojunbiao", "wujiaoqu", and "zhuqinzuo".
Tsk, now that you think about it, it’s really miserable that gentlemen nowadays have to learn so much!
But who doesn't want a bio-powered scooter? Xie Xian was drooling with envy.
She had tried to learn it in her previous life, but because it cost too much, she only learned the basics. Now that she saw Wu Nu and the others riding horses, she became interested again.
When Xie Xian was riding on the horse, she finally got what she wanted. Because she had a foundation, her learning progress was obviously a little faster than that of Meng Xiaoshan, a complete newcomer.
The white horse had a gentle personality. After Xie Xian fed it a few pieces of sugar corn, it was willing to follow Xie Xian.
"Sister, is riding a horse fun?"
"Sister, I want to try it too!" Seeing how easy it was for her to ride a horse, the girls immediately clamored to try it too.
There was no other way, Xie Xian could only come one by one. Although Wu Nu and Xiang Jie looked disapproving, Xie Xian believed that the purpose of going out to play was to have fun. If this and that were not allowed, what was the point of going out to play?
After trying it one by one, everyone realized that riding a horse was not as easy as it seemed.
In the end, Xie Xian rode on a horse, earning the envy of Meng Xiaoshan and the resentful look of Xiang Jie who sat on an ox cart.
Xie Xian: I didn’t see anything. Who told you to pick the best-looking horse?
Turning the hill, you will see a sea of pink, and the wind is full of fragrance.
The blue of the sky, the pink of the mountains and the green under your feet make people feel relaxed and free from worries.
The lady in red, riding a white horse, with a red necklace hanging on her shoulders and her long black hair flying.
When Wang Yu and the others looked over, they saw the scene that was worthy of being painted.
When Xie Xian heard the greeting, she looked up and found that they were actually in a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
My god, I found a good place. Looking around, there are quite a lot of people in the forest. But I can understand that there are so many people in tourist attractions. I really don't like physical activities like mountain climbing.
Lightly waving the whip and breaking into a trot, Xie Xian refused to tread past.
There were many pedestrians on the path, but most of them were young girls wearing hats. Amid the blue, pink, white and green, there was suddenly a striking red. As the sound of horse hooves approached, many people looked over.
Xie Xian didn't take it seriously. Before she reached the pavilion, she saw Qian Yuanxiang running towards her, and she hurriedly grabbed the reins.
"Madam Xian!" Qian Yuanxiang looked at her with her big, watery eyes, the envy on her face almost overflowing.
"Yuan Xiang, you are here too."
"I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse! I..." Before Xie Xian could say a few words, Qian Yuanxiang started to act like a spoiled child.
Xie Xian's scalp suddenly went numb. As expected, she knew that no one could resist the temptation of riding a horse.
"I've always wanted to ride a horse, but my family won't let me. My brother is unreliable, so I can only rely on Sister Xian!" Qian Yuanxiang said this with such sincerity that it seemed like she was about to burst into tears the next second.
Xie Xian's lips twitched, and she had no choice but to nod. She dismounted quickly, helped Qian Yuanxiang up, led the horse, and walked slowly.
Not far away, the unreliable elder brother of the Qian family, Qian Zhi, silently covered his face, while his friends behind him were laughing so hard that they were falling down.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to discipline my little sister. What a mistake!
