The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

Chapter 85 Riding the horse and running wildly

In a blink of an eye, several days had passed since the sharing meeting. During breakfast that morning, Huan Huan told Xu Qu that he would not go to the shop today, but would attend a party hosted by Commander Su's wife.

"Oh?" Xu Qu showed some joy in his eyes after hearing this, and asked, "When did you meet Commander Su's wife?"

Huan Huan smiled and replied, "I don't know her. When Li Wan came a few days ago, she said she was going to attend the party of Commander Su's wife. I said I wanted to go, so she asked for an invitation for me."

It can be seen that Xu Qu was genuinely happy for Huan Huan. He said, "It seems that your best friend is quite helpful. Very good, it's rare for you to go out and relax. I will find time to visit the shop. Don't worry, just concentrate on having fun."

He smiled slowly but mysteriously and said, "I'm not going there for fun?"

"What are you going to do there?" Xu Qu asked, turning sideways.

"You'll know when you come back. Keep it a secret for now." Huanhuan refused to say anything else. After quickly finishing his meal, he took Xiaoyu and a small bag and got on the carriage and left.

Soon, she arrived at the place where she had agreed to meet Jiang Liwan. Jiang Liwan was already waiting there. She saw their carriage approaching from a distance and waved to them.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she slowly jumped off, calling "Liwan" affectionately, and jumping around in circles hand in hand with Jiang Liwan.

After the two of them turned around twice, they stopped laughing. Jiang Liwan said, "Slowly, I just pulled out the fastest horse in the house for you as you requested."

She smiled slowly and said, "Thank you, Liwan! You are really my good sister."

Jiang Liwan was silent for a while, and then she hesitated and said, "But this horse is still a little wild and difficult to tame. Are you sure you want to do this?"

He patted Jiang Liwan's shoulder slowly and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I've already told Xiaoyu in advance that even if something happens, it won't be blamed on you."

Jiang Liwan glared at Huanhuan in feigned anger and said, "Why am I doing this? I'm really worried about you."

Huanhuan laughed and said, "I know, I know. Okay, it's getting late. Let's go quickly. It will be bad if we are late." Then Huanhuan and Jiang Liwan respectively rode the two horses that Jiang Liwan brought. Jiang Liwan's maid and Xiaoyu got on the carriage, and the group headed towards the suburbs.

Arriving at the place agreed with Commander Su's wife, Jiang Liwan first took Huanhuan to meet Commander Su's wife. Mrs. Su was indeed a person who loved lively and socializing, as Jiang Liwan said. When she saw Huanhuan, she smiled very generously and kept saying, "Welcome, welcome, Madam Xu."

The ladies and young ladies around were already full of curiosity about the newcomer. After hearing what Madam Su said, they realized that it was the young lady of the Xu mansion who had been in the limelight a while ago. The look in their eyes when they looked at Huan Xu immediately changed.

Some people stared with their eyes wide open, with obvious surprise on their faces; some people opened their mouths, with curiosity clearly in their eyes; of course, there were also people who pursed their lips, turned their heads away, and did not hide their disdain at all.

How to say it, Huanhuan actually doesn’t care about these things. She came here with a clear purpose today.

Mrs. Su, as the organizer of the party, had already ordered people to put out delicious food, tied up the swing, and brought a bunch of games such as shuttlecocks, pot-tossing, and kicking balls. Everyone talked, laughed, chatted, and played, and it was a very pleasant time.

Jiang Liwan was afraid that Huanhuan would not be able to adapt to the new environment, so she always brought Huanhuan with her. When acquaintances came to chat with her, she would actively introduce Huanhuan to them, and always added, "Go to Shishi Yanzhi to buy rouge in the future."

However, this sentence did not bring any positive response. The polite people just smiled and said nothing; the tactful people said "I rarely use rouge"; but there were one or two straightforward people who said "I don't use it" and turned around and left, causing Jiang Liwan to blush with embarrassment.

Huanhuan was naturally touched by what Jiang Liwan had done, and felt bad to see her being implicated, so she said to her, "Liwan, I'm already very grateful that you could bring me here. You don't have to help me anymore. Just enjoy yourself." Jiang Liwan saw that she was powerless, so she gave up.

Finally, the party reached its most exciting moment. After a round of gongs and drums, Commander Su's wife mounted her horse and swung the whip in the air with a sharp and clear sound. Then, Mrs. Su shouted in a loud and clear voice, "Sisters, the horse race we are most looking forward to is about to begin!"

The ladies gathered together. The heroic women who were going to participate in the horse racing had already followed the convention and led their horses over when the gongs and drums sounded. After hearing what Madam Su said, they all mounted their horses.

He slowly took the reins from Jiang Liwan and asked, "Liwan, how does your horse compare to these?"

Jiang Liwan said with certainty: "This is the top warhorse in the army, definitely better than any other horse here!" But her aura quickly turned into uneasiness, and she whispered: "Huanhuan, do you want to reconsider it?"

He smiled at her slowly, then climbed onto the horse firmly and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

He said slowly and without fear, "Madam Su, I wonder what the prize is for the person who wins first place today?"

As soon as she said this, people around her started to whisper, "She said this as if she would definitely win first place." "How can she be so arrogant? She's not even competing yet and she's saying this?"

Huanhuan ignored these words and said, "How about we do something different today?"

Mrs. Su was generous and not angry. She asked, "How is it different?"

"If I win the prize today, I will give a box of rouge to everyone present. The person who receives the rouge must promise to use it every day for a month, and when others ask about it, they must say that it was from Shishi Rouge Shop."

"This..." Mrs. Su looked at others hesitantly.

A young wife from an unknown family, who was already riding a horse, shouted angrily, "Who wants to use the rouge used in brothels?"

Another voice said, "Yes, and we don't usually like to use rouge."

Huanhuan thought to herself: What I want is for those of you who don’t use rouge to use it.

She said excitedly, "What do you think? Most of the people here are military families, descendants of generals, and many of them practice martial arts. You don't have the confidence to defeat me, right?"

This statement can really be regarded as rude, and it takes a lot of courage to set yourself against everyone else.

Jiang Liwan looked at Huanhuan in the crowd, her heart in her throat.

At this time, some people in the crowd who were eager to win shouted, "Madam Su, who is the best at riding and shooting, is here, and you dare to speak so arrogantly!" "That's right! There are many people here who practice martial arts and are descendants of generals. Do you think they are afraid of you?" This statement was echoed by many people.

Madam Su looked at the people around her, some were hesitant, some were angry. She thought for a moment and made a decision, saying loudly: "Okay! Since I'm the host today, I'll make the decision for everyone - the prize for this horse race is rouge. If you win, we'll use your rouge for a month. Let's go!"

After she finished speaking, she whipped her horse and galloped out. The gong beside her rang, and everyone whipped their horses. Dust rose up as the horses' hooves galloped.

Huanhuan's eyes became very determined at this moment. She shouted "Gee!" without hesitation, then clamped her calves against the horse's belly and rode out.

Jiang Liwan's horse was truly a rare good horse. It quickly overtook one person after another and caught up with the wife of Commander Su who was in the front.

Among those who were overtaken by Huanhuan, there were quite a few who were not convinced and whipped their horses hard in an attempt to overtake Huanhuan, but they just couldn't catch up. They couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are you so proud? You just have a better horse!"

Madam Su was indeed worthy of being called the best archer here, and Huanhuan could never catch up with her. Even if she finally caught up with her, Madam Su would quickly overtake her with all her strength.

Seeing that the tree with the flag was about to be reached, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, bent down even lower, and whipped the horse a few more times.

This horse originally had a bit of untamed wildness, and after galloping with the other horses, its nature was released. It became more and more excited as it ran. It neighed, and it slowly overtook Madam Su, and then it galloped away, leaving Madam Su far behind.

The people watching the game were very lively just now, but now that Huan Huan had really surpassed Madam Su, no one said anything. Most of them just stopped moving and remained quiet.

After passing the flag tree, Madam Su slowly reined in her horse. Jiang Liwan jumped up and clapped her hands in joy, "Great, great, Huanhuan won!"

However, Huanhuan's horse didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. No matter how Huanhuan pulled the reins, it just rushed forward crazily. The wind whistled in Huanhuan's ears, and Huanhuan could only hold the reins and horsehair tightly.

Mrs. Su saw that the situation was not right, so she rode her horse forward to chase Huanhuan.

Suddenly, the horse jumped wildly, its body shook, and Huanhuan lost his grip and fell off the horse, rolling several times on the ground.
