4.42 It turns out that riding a horse is so interesting

The sweaty horse galloped all the way, but it was very stable. However, it was obvious that the autumn wind blowing all the way made Xue Baochai, who was riding a horse for the first time, quite uncomfortable. In the end, he could only turn around, bury his head deeply in Ai Lang's arms, and let him roar all the way. , the body gradually became closer and closer to Ai Lang, as if they had become one.

But as time went by, Zhou Yang felt the girl's breath that had been basically withdrawn from his arms, especially the sweet fragrance. Even in the autumn wind, it still penetrated into his nose like silk, making him gradually feel... It meant something, but I knew it was inappropriate, so I endured it with great embarrassment.

Xue Baochai was in another situation. Feeling the warmth and breath of the people around her, her face gradually heated up and her body slowly became stiff. At the same time, the running BMW was inevitably bumpy, making it difficult for her to ride for the first time. The girl was nervous, and her arms slowly and somewhat strenuously wrapped around Ai Lang's body, pursuing a sense of security in her heart.

"Brother Zhou, please slow down!" Finally, Sister Bao, who couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't help but plead, "This is too bumpy. If you go through this for a whole day, I'm afraid you'll have to ride in it for half your life!"

"Idiot, how can you be like this, standing still despite the bumps?" A familiar voice also interrupted Zhou Yang's thoughts, making him sober up with a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to slow down to a trot, "I originally wanted to I took the opportunity to teach you how to ride a horse, but you're not even willing to learn how to sit, so you take advantage of the opportunity to ride sideways, and naturally you won't be able to bear it as time goes by."

"Then what should I do?" Xue Baochai asked stupidly.

"Good boy, turn around and straddle both sides of the saddle. The posture you were in just now, if I hadn't been holding you, I might have fallen off." Zhou Yang said with a smile, "Yes, that's it, reach out your hand and grab it." Hold on to the reins, don't be nervous, look at you now, your whole body is stiff, where do you have the strength to control the direction?"

"Brother Zhou, you really didn't lie to me?" Xue Baochai didn't care about being reserved at this time. He tightened the reins nervously and leaned back, "What if I fall?"

"Idiot, who made you so nervous?" Zhou Yang smiled and gently pinched the horse's belly, causing the sweaty horse to trot. "The most important thing in riding a horse is coordination. Don't be stiff, otherwise the saddle will wear your legs. Damn it; remember to follow the bumps on the horse's back and move a little bit - well, who told you to move so vigorously?"

"Brother Zhou, I'm a little dizzy, let's get down!" Xue Baochai's cheeks immediately turned red, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Women shouldn't be exposed like they are today, and naturally they don't need to ride a horse!"

"Okay, I don't expect you to learn it today." Zhou Yang was a little dumbfounded. He moved his body back slightly to avoid certain touches, "Get used to it slowly. I just let you feel the high speed. Now Slow down and jog, not too much, just run to the lake, then turn around and go back to pick up Qiying and Ying'er."

Zhou Yang began to take Xue Baochai and trot slowly along the road. This garden really occupies a large area, with a distance of two or three kilometers. As time went by, Sister Baochai gradually adapted to riding a horse, and even showed a smile on her face. She had an expression of joy that was out of proportion to her usual expression, but when she stopped by the lake, she reluctantly let Ailang hold her down.

"It turns out that riding a horse is so fun, but it's a pity that it won't happen often in the future." Xue Baochai leaned into Ai Lang's arms and looked at the sweaty horse with reluctance and said, "Brother Zhou, when you first started practicing horse riding, you came here the same way. ?"

"I'm not as comfortable as you, and there are still people taking care of me." Zhou Yang smiled and touched the girl's head, carried her to a Taihu stone next to her and sat down, then turned around and tied the sweaty horse to a big tree. "At that time, someone led me to a young horse, helped me get on the horse, and then led me around for a few laps. Then I had to practice by myself."

This was back in modern times when I was working as a COSER with "Master Xu". Because it was impossible to engage in horse fighting or anything like that, no one took it seriously. So I just randomly went to an arranged horse farm and asked people to do it first. Walk with the horse for a while, then put on various clothes and jog for dozens or hundreds of meters, and take the opportunity to take a few POSS photos and that's it.

Zhou Yang was a little more serious at that time. Because he had plenty of time and everyone else just tried it casually and ignored it, he had enough time to practice. He also took the opportunity to ask the racecourse master for a lot of tips, precautions, etc. Only then did he have the foundation to practice equestrianism and riding and shooting on his own after arriving in this world.

"What if there is any chance?" Xue Baochai asked worriedly.

"What's the last chance?" Everything is over, why are you trying to scare the girl? Zhou Yang smiled and picked up Xue Baochai, sat on the Taihu stone, gently held her in his arms and looked at the scenery, "Now my You have also seen your riding skills. Although I dare not say anything about being at the top of my game, it is still outstanding.

Look at you, you're already sweating. You're obviously just taking the opportunity to go for a ride, but you can still do this?It seems you shouldn't be too playful. Let me give you a good wipe. Otherwise, it won't be fun if you catch a cold when the cold wind blows. " He took out the handkerchief from the girl's pocket and carefully wiped Xue Baochai's sweat. When he held the girl alone with his other hand, he just felt it. I have to say that the description of Sister Baochai in the original book is really good, and she has begun to grow. My body already feels fleshy, and I think it will be more comfortable in the future.

"Brother Zhou, someone is coming!" In the sweet moment, the sound of wheels behind him gradually came closer. Xue Baochai shyly pushed Ai Lang, broke away from his arms, turned around and saw Zhao Qiying driving the carriage, only looking at her The teasing smile on his face was obviously what he saw just now.

"But little sister is in the way?" Zhao Qiying smiled and jumped out of the carriage, walked up to the two of them and joked, "Why didn't you say hello? At worst, I can come over later to avoid annoying people."

Zhou Yang smiled and glared at her, but did not answer. He pointed to the Taihu Stone by the lake and asked her to find a place to sit. Then he turned to look at Ying'er who jumped out of the carriage and waved her hand to come over. The four of them sat together. At the lakeside, looking at the sparkling waves on the lake, everyone showed happy smiles.

"Master, I want to learn to ride a horse from you in the future." Ying'er looked at the snorting horse beside her and said with envy, "I was so envious when I saw you and the girl riding past you just now."

"You damn hooves, you're everywhere!" Xue Baochai glared at her, turned to Zhou Yang and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm not stingy, this horse riding matter is not trivial. Unless we absolutely guarantee that it won't be leaked, I'd better not do it again in the future. Yes, otherwise if it were spread, it might not be spread to anything!"

"Okay, didn't I just say, let's indulge a little today." Zhou Yang was also helpless at this point. He didn't care, but the girls didn't have such luck. It was the Zhao sisters who sent escorts, unless they were the kind of inner courtyard guards. Otherwise, they would just put on men's clothes, and whether it was to deceive others or to deceive themselves, there was always a procedure, "But it's not without a chance.

Over in the capital, the yards in the inner city are definitely out of business. If there is a chance in the future, we can set up a closed racecourse or something like that on our farm outside the city. We have no control over what other people do. We just need to close the door and let our family play. As long as my son is happy; the only problem is that I dare not say when. "

"Hehe, as long as the uncle is willing, that's fine. I can afford to wait." Ying'er almost jumped up with joy, but was hit by her own girl.

"Brother Zhou, it's noon, let's eat something first." Zhao Qiying stood up with a smile, took out a lot of cooked dishes from the carriage, and placed them one by one on the tablecloth laid out by Ying'er. "It's a bit shabby when you go out. Just put it on your stomach, and then you can replenish it when you get home at night."

"You, it's really easy to go from frugality to luxury." Zhou Yang looked at Xue Baochai's master and servant who had the same reaction, smiled and gently tapped Zhao Nuxia's forehead, "Bad duck feet, fried fish, cooked mutton There is also a whole roasted chicken, and there are no new vegetables. How is it shabby? Let’s eat some quickly. We didn’t even finish [-]% of this majestic royal garden in half a morning. "

"Master, I see that there are many cruise ships on this lake." Ying'er didn't care about eating, but looked at Xuanwu Lake enviously, "I wonder if we can make it this afternoon."

"No!" Before Zhou Yang could speak, Zhao Qiying interrupted her angrily, "When it comes to cruise ships, the ones at home are better. How do you think we got to Jinling from the capital? It didn't work this time because the cruise ship None of them belong to us. If someone has evil intentions, the sky on the lake will really be in trouble and the earth will not work!"

"You, you better listen to your girl's greetings honestly!" Zhou Yang smiled and tapped her head lightly, "Many times, 'putting on airs' is not a good comment, but after all, we have an identity. If we are not careful, , there is no guarantee that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand to embrace Zhao Qiying, and gave her a long kiss as a reward for her vigilance. However, Xue Baochai next to her instantly blushed to the root of her neck, gave him an angry look and turned away; Zhou Yang smiled proudly, Ignoring her little resistance, he hugged her to the left side and endured the two-finger pinch at her waist.

"You, just bully us poor people!" Seeing that Xue Baochai was too embarrassed to raise her head, Zhao Qiying smiled and smoothed things over, lightly hammered someone a few times, pushed him aside, and then embraced Sister Baochai. She smiled and said, "Grandma, why are you so shy? We have been pinched together by this cruel man in this life, how can we be separated in the future? Why should we be like this as a family!"

"What grandma, what did sister Qiying say?" The shy Xue Baochai fell into Zhao Nuxia's arms and couldn't raise her head, but kept twisting in protest. On the contrary, the girl Ying'er was very angry about the "grandma" just now. satisfy.

"Okay, let's have something to eat. We're going to go shopping in the afternoon!" Seeing that the cracks caused the day before were almost healed, Zhou Yang smiled and pressed the two girls next to the tablecloth, "Two grandma, the little waiter When you have a meal, please—"

"Pfft--" All three girls couldn't help laughing.
