my grandmother

Chapter 132
"Get on the horse!" Gu Yan pointed to the bay red horse.

The saddle on the back of that bay red horse is quite different from the previous one, with a peach red background embroidered with a bay red swastika pattern, which is extremely beautiful.

Li Xiaonan stretched her head forward and looked carefully.

"It's specially prepared for you, get on the horse." Gu Yan urged.

The guards had already placed the pedals, so Li Xiaonan stepped on the pedals and sat on the horse.

The previous saddle was so wide and loose that it could almost fit two of her. Now this one is just right, and the pedals are not too big or small, and they just fit on my feet. The previous one was too big.

Li Xiaonan lowered her head to look to the left, then to the right, stepped on the stirrup again and stood up again, she caught sight of A Wu and Wang Yuting who were at the outermost corner, and hurriedly waved to them.

"Sit down, hold the rein, and look at me like this, don't look around, look here, you have to learn how to ride a horse." Gu Yan pressed down Li Xiaonan's hand with a whip, and said seriously.

Li Xiaonan grabbed the reins, looked at Gu Yan, and followed suit.

The two horses headed side by side and began to trot.

"You need to work hard on your legs, and move your upper body forward. Yes, sit still." Gu Yan reminded, urging the horse to move forward.

Li Xiaonan imitated Gu Yan and bent down.

The horse ran faster.

"Take the reins, don't rush, take your time, yes, that's right."

Two horses run away.

After teaching him how to walk and run several times, Gu Yan seemed very satisfied.

"You are indeed a little clever. Now we have to hurry. Remember, there is only one most important thing: sit tight and don't fall. As long as you don't fall off the horse, you will be fine."

"Okay!" Li Xiaonan responded enthusiastically.

It feels so good to ride a horse.

A group of people ran around and arrived at Linhai Town around noon.

After entering Zhaoyue Building, Gu Yan stopped at the stairs, looked sideways at Li Xiaonan, who was sweating all over her face, and her excited eyes were sparkling, and motioned to Wan Qing with a look of disgust, "Wait for her to wash up!"

There is a special place for washing in the restaurant, and all kinds of utensils are available.

Li Xiaonan bent over to wash her face, Wan Qing also washed, wiped her hands and face, and looked Li Xiaonan from top to bottom.

Alas, she is like this, I really can't blame her family's son for looking down on her!

"Stand don't move!" Wan Qing twisted a piece of wet cloth, stroked Li Xiaonan's skirt once, and then pulled it around hard, the skirt immediately became much smoother.

Wan Qing looked up at Li Xiaonan's disheveled hair, sat her down and combed her hair again.

After combing her hair, Li Xiaonan took a closer look at the half-person-high bronze mirror and was very satisfied.

Wan Qing's craftsmanship is really good!

It was even cleaner and tidier than when she came out of the house.

When Li Xiaonan entered the private room on the second floor, Gu Yan was standing in front of the window, shaking a folding fan, watching the bustle and bustle outside the window.

Li Xiaonan walked to Gu Yan's side and stretched her head to look out.

"Over there is the Sea Taxation Department." Gu Yan's folding fan nodded to a large dark building at the end of the street.

"Like a sea monster." Li Xiaonan stood on tiptoe.

"The land of the empire's wealth." Gu Yan turned around, "Whatever you want to eat, order for yourself."

Shi Gun hurriedly lifted the curtain and called Dr. Tea and Wine.

Li Xiaonan looked carefully at the exquisite menu held by the tea and wine doctor.

Gu Yan waved his folding fan, raised his eyebrows slightly, and watched Li Xiaonan's serious and attentive selection of questions.

After reading the whole menu, Li Xiaonan picked out the best three kinds of seafood, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, looked at Gu Yan and said, "I'm done!"

"How is this enough?" Gu Yan ordered the menu.

"My food is enough, I don't know what you like to eat." Li Xiaonan smiled.

"Let Dangtou watch and add some specialty dishes." Gu Yan ordered.

The tea and wine doctor bowed to agree, and left with ease.

"Why are you so happy? Do you like riding horses?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan who was always smiling.

"It's not that I like riding a horse, but I like the feeling of running a horse, or..."

Li Xiaonan was thinking about how to make it clear, Gu Yan nodded, "You just started to learn how to ride a horse, and if you can't run fast, it can't be called a gallop. Horse racing on the grassland is called a gallop. If the wind is favorable, it's also very good to stand on the bow with full sail. .”

"It was the first time I went out with my elder sister, from Kunshan County to Pingjiang City, step by step, it was too slow. At that time, I was very envious of birds, and thought, why not be a bird, not a falcon , sparrows are also fine, at least they can fly." Li Xiaonan sighed.

Everything here is so slow, so slow that it makes people desperate.

What is the slowness of the past and the quietness of the years, bah!
"Fifty years ago, a man said that he could make people fly. He found his grandfather, and his grandfather gave him 50 silver a year for six years."

Gu Yan's words stopped, and Li Xiaonan hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"

"Later, he said that he could fly. He flew up to a height of more than ten feet, flew for a mile, fell down and died."

Li Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then sighed sadly.

a pioneer.

The tea and wine doctor brought in the food, Gu Yan glanced at the hourglass in the corner of the room, and signaled to Li Xiaonan, "Let's eat, it's almost time."

Li Xiaonan was about to ask what time it was, when she raised her eyes and saw Shi Gun pursing her lips vigorously at her and shaking her head slightly, then quickly pursed her lips, and grabbed the chopsticks to eat.

The eldest son of Shi Gun's family announced that after eating, he could only eat and could not talk anymore.

Li Xiaonan just picked up the chopsticks and didn't care about other things. The food in this restaurant is very delicious. It's her in the past few years, no!Even before counting, it was one of the best meals she had ever had.

From time to time, Gu Yan glanced at Li Xiaonan who was concentrating on eating fish, shrimp, and crab with a contented face, her expression became more and more gentle.

Lu Xiu has too many things on his mind, he has never seen Lu Xiu enjoy eating and drinking like she does now.

How wonderful this is, a living person must have fireworks.

The two ate, drank half a cup of tea, came out of Zhaoyue Tower, walked and strolled, and went to the pier.

....................................

In the head office of the He family next to the Sea Taxation Department, He Chengze stood by the window with his hands behind his back, using two bronze mirrors to look at Gu Yan and Li Xiaonan who came from Zhaoyue Tower.

He Ruiming stood next to his father, frowning slightly, carefully sized Li Xiaonan in the bronze mirror, couldn't help it, and muttered: "What's so special about this little girl?"

"She walked side by side with Shizi, calm and composed, which is very special." He Chengze said slowly.

He Ruiming looked carefully again, hummed in a low voice, and for a moment, said with a bit of innocence: "Maybe, country girl, I don't know the severity..."

He Chengze turned his head and glanced at He Ruiming, He Ruiming laughed along with him, but didn't dare to say anything further.

"Don't be arrogant, and don't hold prejudices. She is extremely smart, well-educated, and proficient in style. She comes from the countryside, but she is not a country girl." He Chengze's voice was soft.

He Ruiming listened intently, bowing his head in response.

Gu Yan and Li Xiaonan passed the head office of the He family, and He Chengze adjusted the bronze mirror to watch their backs pass the Customs Department and head towards the pier.

Watching Gu Yan and Li Xiaonan descend the steps, He Chengze put down the bronze mirror and told He Ruiming, "Go over and have a look."

"Okay." He Ruiming agreed, walked out of the courtyard door, and went to the pier.

....................................

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Li Xiaonan looked at the endless busy pier in front of her and asked, "What do we want to see?"

Gu Yan glanced back at her, and snorted, "You're quite clever, what else can you watch, watch the fun!"

"This..." Before finishing a sentence, Li Xiaonan immediately changed her tune and said with a smile: "This place is really lively, very lively."

Gu Yan glanced at her sideways and laughed, "Go ahead and look at the sea boat."

He Ruiming trotted all the way, caught up from behind, greeted Shi Gun, and followed Shi Gun half a step behind.

After walking forward for a short distance, Gu Yan stopped, pointed at the sea boat in the distance and said with a smile: "The big ship has a heavy draft, so it can't get close to the pier. Let's..."

Before he finished speaking, a shout came from a distance: "Brothers! Call me!"

He Ruiming was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "I'll go and have a look, Master, don't go any further!"

"Go and have a look." Gu Yan folded his fan and pointed at A Wu.
