Yu Jun

Chapter 41
Near the Shuoshui River in Kuanzhou City, there are nearly 36 large and small horse farms. As soon as the Shuoshui River flows, the entire horse farm is full of green grass and thriving.

Mo Lingfeng had a white horse, which was raised in Shangyang Horse Farm, before five o'clock, she stepped out of the city on dew, took the horse from Xi Guan, and took it to the Shuoshui River.

The horse was docile and drank by the river by itself. Mo Lingfeng bent down to pluck pink buckwheat flowers in the grass, and tiptoed to the horse's bridle.

The river wind blows slowly, the flowers and plants lie low, and the Jade Rabbit has not yet set in the west, but the golden crow has risen in the east, and the water surface reflects a moving wave.

The horse was full of water and snorted. Mo Lingfeng stuffed the remaining buckwheat flowers in his hand, turned on the horse, and paced slowly. After a quarter of an hour, he suddenly whipped the horse and ran into a shadow.

Yin Nan rode a yellow-flowered horse, chasing after the dazzling golden light on her body, and followed her not far or near.

There is no one in the wilderness, let her gallop, until the time of day, there are more people in the pasture, the people who cut the grass carry the back basket half the height of a person, holding a two-pronged wooden fork, and pick up the horse dung outside the horse field into the back basket inside.

Cheng Ting and Wu Jin also came hand in hand and rented a horse at Xi Guan's place together.

Wu Jin was wearing a half-worn narrow-sleeved blouse and a cloud scarf on his head. Cheng Ting wanted to rent a horse for him, but he insisted on not accepting it. He picked out an inexpensive green horse and handed the sign back to Guan Xi. Turn your head to look in the direction you came from.

Cheng Ting asked for a green horse, took the water bag from Wu Jin, took two mouthfuls, and took a long "ha" breath: "What are you looking at? Waiting for the wind?"

His face was flushed, his head was combed slickly, he was wearing a brand-new red narrow-sleeved round-neck robe and new riding boots on his feet, and he was full of energy.

Pedestrians came in twos and threes, but Mo Lingfeng was not seen, so Wu Jin turned around and said, "She said it yesterday."

Cheng Ting threw the water bag into Wu Jin's hands again: "She can't come, and envoy Mo Jiedu will never let her come—my uncle is terrified."

"Master's horse, are you waiting to buy now?" He raised his voice to urge Xi Guan, and then said to Wu Jin, "Let's ride the horses well, I have a lot of things in my heart that I want to tell you."

What he had in mind was naturally related to Xu Huiran.

Xi Guan hurriedly led the horse, and the two turned on the horse, grabbed the bridle, rolled up the whip, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and walked around first.

Cheng Ting talked to Wu Jin in detail about the bottle of crabapple flowers yesterday, he asked his elder sister to pass it on to Xu Huiran, Xu Huiran took the flowers, returned the vase to Cheng's family, and put a sprig of peony in it as a gift.

Cheng Ting received this gift in return, and immediately fell in love unilaterally.

Little did they know that Xu Huiran was a good girl who was educated and reasonable, since she was returning the bottle, she couldn't get the flowers from others, so she returned an empty bottle, so she put a peony in it as a thank you gift.

Wu Jin said softly: "Our neighbors on Shishi Street sometimes send a bowl of food to our house, and my mother will definitely put something in the bowl before returning it. All households have the same etiquette."

Cheng Tingzheng was infatuated with love alone, and suddenly called Wu Jin to point it out. He was immediately upset, and retorted: "If sister Huiran doesn't like me, why is she still not engaged at this age? My eldest sister has already made an appointment. Ten Moon out of the pavilion."

He grinned again: "Yesterday, my aunt has promised me that today I will go to Xu's family to propose a marriage. When I make an engagement, many things I have saved can be sent there in a legitimate way. There is a villain who fights , it was my future brother-in-law who brought it to me from Huqiu, and I didn't even show it to Lefeng..."

During his rambling narration, the air gradually dries up and the heat rises. The scattered buckwheat flowers give off a pungent smell, intertwined with the stench of horse dung, and it goes straight into people's noses.

Wu Jin listened quietly, and suddenly felt a softness in her heart—Cheng Ting's love for Xu Huiran was due to the innocence of wanting to give her something good, and the sincerity that Mo Lingfeng didn't even have. beautiful outside.

Cheng Ting's mouth was dry, and when he was about to drink water, he saw a group of people riding horses not far away, so he stopped talking and changed his expression.

The people who came were all dressed in brocade clothes, and one of them was Wang Jinghua who had a very bad relationship with Cheng Ting-the two of them were formed at the racecourse two years ago.

When Wang Jinghua saw Cheng Ting, he was full of fighting spirit. He left all his classmates and friends and went straight to Cheng Ting. There was also a man and a woman who seemed to know Cheng Ting and followed him.

"Cheng San," the young man who came with Wang Jinghua greeted first, "Wu Jin, are you also here for the horse race?"

The woman next to him called "Third Brother" softly, but Cheng Ting just stared at Wang Jinghua and didn't hear it. The woman was embarrassed for a while, twisted her fingers, and bowed her head without saying a word.

"Shi Yuan," Wu Jin said with a smile, "I haven't thanked you for taking care of my business."

Shi Yuan waved his hand: "It's my family that wants to eat, it's not considered taking care of me."

He pointed at the woman beside him: "This is my sister Shi Qing, one year younger than you."

Wu Jin then looked at Shi Qing: "Miss Shi."

Shi Qing raised her head halfway again, and looked at Wu Jin: "Wu Langjun."

The three of them talked to each other here, but Cheng Ting and Wang Jinghua couldn't hold back anymore.

With a loud voice, Cheng Ting preemptively said, "Hey, the toad spirit from Tunan Academy is also here to ride a horse."

Wang Jinghua has two round protruding eyes, a big mouth, and a smile that looks like he wants to eat people, and the longer it grows, the wider it becomes. Cheng Ting's nickname for him has already resounded in two academies in Kuanzhou.

Wang Jinghua immediately showed a sinister smile: "Hey, isn't this Cheng Baiding?"

The two men held guns and sticks, and immediately launched a short attack.

Wang Jinghua said that Cheng Ting was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, Cheng Ting retaliated that you were not like a toad, Wang Jinghua blushed in anger and had a thick neck, and called him a scarred face, Cheng Ting said he was more beautiful than your toad face, Wang Jinghua said he was a duck His voice was bad, Cheng Ting said it was better than your "croak".

Wang Jinghua almost died of anger, his nostrils fluttered, and he was about to dismount from his horse. Cheng Ting took advantage of the victory and pursued him, asking if he wanted to help his short legs.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Wu Jin quickly stepped forward to persuade them.

Shi Yuan also said: "Brother Ha, Cheng San, why bother to be on edge when we meet, peace is the most important thing."

Wang Jinghua's seven orifices were full of smoke, and he hadn't heard Shi Yuan's slip of the tongue clearly, but Shi Qing heard it clearly, suppressed a smile forcefully, looked away, and bumped into Wu Jin unexpectedly.

Wu Jin also looked like she was about to smile, she nodded slightly to her, and Shi Qing lowered her head, her face flushed slightly.

Shi Yuan finally persuaded Wang Jinghua to leave, Cheng Ting saw Wang Jinghua's defeat, he laughed happily, and then raised his eyebrows at Shi Yuan, it didn't seem like a chance encounter, but a premeditated plan.

"How about we run a few laps together? I'm not bragging. I'm not good at reading, but my riding skills are still very good."

Shi Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, but if you lose, don't play tricks."

Cheng Ting patted his chest: "Never cheat."

Shi Qing involuntarily glanced at Wu Jin again.

Wu Jin sensed something was wrong, knowing that Cheng Ting was behind the trick, she couldn't get away for a while, she couldn't help but look around, and suddenly saw Mo Lingfeng's figure.

The golden light on her body was shining, like a stream of light, passing in front of him.
