Daughter Raiders

Chapter 224 Horse Riding
Tao Ran slightly bent his knees and smiled back at him, then remembered what she had told him on the way he picked her up to Liaodong: When the weather gets warmer, Fourth Brother Mu will teach me how to ride a horse... The smile on her face couldn't help but grow stronger.

"Sister Tao, look quickly, does that little red mare like you?" Mu Lei showed Tao Ran's finger.

"These four ponies were brought back by my fourth brother from the army horse farm yesterday. I have already chosen the black one, but I heard my fourth brother said that you can't ride a horse yet, so I think the red one is more docile and gentler. It suits you, go and have a look."

Although Mu Lei's temperament is careless, in fact, after growing up, he is rough and fine.Elder sister Mu Yun has already engaged in a marriage, and she will return to the capital for a wedding in two years. She must not drag her elder sister to play with her, and fourth brother likes Tao's appearance very much. If she can invite Tao to accompany her She plays and can match two people, so why not do it.

Tao Ran was in a dilemma.What Murray said was right, not only did she not know how to ride a horse, she had never even touched the reins.Tell her to pretend to choose one right away, or the red one is really good, it is Ye Gonghaolong at all.

Seeing that she didn't speak and just stood there stupidly, Mu Lei couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Fourth brother, do you think I'm right? If it's not right, you can help Sister Tao choose a horse. Didn't you say yesterday? When Sister Tao comes to choose, why don't you take us to the countryside for a walk?"

Seeing Mu Huan's face gradually turning red, Tao Ran realized that it was Mu Huan's idea to ask her to pick a horse. Fortunately, when she came, she thought that Mu Lei remembered what she said a few days ago; Can't help being slightly proud, proud that she really saw the right person...

"Sister Lei is right, the red mare is more docile." Mu Huan said with a smile: "If you ask me, sister Lei, you shouldn't have chosen the black one, it's not a mare , you have a strong temper, you just learned a little fur at home, you are far from being able to call it riding, and I am afraid it will be difficult to control it."

"You two just listen to me. The red one is for Xiaotao, and sister Lei, you want the maroon one." Mu Huan had unknowingly changed his name to Tao Ran as early as the first month, and it was no longer the old one. Sixth sister.

"Sister Lei hasn't ridden a horse for many days, and Xiaotao doesn't know how to ride a horse. Let's not hurry to go for a walk in the countryside. I'll take you two for a walk in the martial arts field first, and when you get familiar with the horses It’s not too late to go to the suburbs.”

Mu Lei stomped her feet in anger, her face full of reluctance, but she didn't dare to refute her fourth brother, she only dared to murmur a few times in her heart - tell her that her fourth brother is a big fool!Sister Tao said that the Spring Festival is the best time to ride a horse to the suburbs for an outing, but he is going to the martial arts arena. What's the point of the martial arts arena!
Who said that if you don’t know how to ride a horse, you can’t go to the suburbs, and it’s the same if you don’t walk the horse and just talk in the suburbs!Since the fourth brother likes Sister Tao, why can't he understand what she means? She finally called Sister Tao here!Although the martial arts arena in the Zongbing Mansion is bigger than that in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, with more than a dozen personal soldiers accompanying them, all of them staring at each other, the fourth brother doesn't think it's boring!

Tao Ran and Mu Lei had known each other for a long time, and he could see that Mu Lei didn't want to ride a horse at all, but wanted to go to the suburbs to relax, so he tried to persuade him softly: "The suburbs are good, but I don't know how to ride a horse now, how can we go? I arrived there slowly in the carriage, I'm afraid it's already dusk..."

Hearing Tao Ran's words, and seeing her fourth brother looking at her helplessly, Mu Lei burst out laughing.It's not what happened, she forgot about it, she hasn't touched the horse's reins for more than half a year, if she wants to go to the suburbs, she has to take a carriage first, and she is not tired enough.

Several people also went all the way to the martial arts field of the General Military Mansion, followed by the young servants leading the horses.In the martial arts arena, Mu Lei's personal girl also came with two sets of riding clothes, Tao Ran called Hongxia and that girl to wait for her and Mu Lei to enter the room and change clothes.

"Not only did I get a pony today, but I also got Sister Lei's riding outfit." Tao Ran let Hongxia tie her a belt while smiling at Mu Lei: "Sister Lei, tell me to think about it. How can I repay your love."

Although Tao Ran had been thinking about learning to ride a horse for a long time, Tao Ran didn't dare to order the riding uniform early on - ever since she accepted the two-winged white tiger that Zhenbei Hou gave her, her father has always had a kind of reluctance towards the Mu family. The compromise has not improved so far, but she just stared at her homework day after day, staring more and more closely.

Dad just wanted to make her overwhelmed by the busy homework, so he didn't have time to communicate with the General Military Mansion, right?Little did they know that Mu Lei was also thoughtful, and even knew to make a riding outfit for her...

"I don't dare to take credit for this!" Mu Lei covered her mouth and whispered, as if she was reminded after hearing Tao Ran's words: "My mother told someone to do it, and I even forgot that I didn't bring riding clothes to Liaodong!"

Tao Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled.Is it the clothes made by Madam Zhenbeihou?That's it!She was afraid that it was Mu Huan who told her, and she would have made the servants of the General Military Mansion laugh at his views on women, it would have been better if it hadn't been him!

While talking, the two also finished changing their clothes, and returned to the martial arts arena hand in hand.Madam Zhenbei Hou told her to make a horse riding outfit that was bright red. Tao Ran and Mu Lei wore this outfit like two dazzling flames. When Mu Huan raised his head and looked over, his eyes lit up.

One must know that he had never seen Tao Ran dressed so brightly, even in the past year, but he didn't know that she was actually a girl with heavy makeup and light makeup that was always suitable...

"Fourth brother, come back to your senses. Didn't you promise to teach Sister Tao how to ride a horse? Why don't you go!" Mu Lei became angry when she saw her fourth brother's stupid look, and immediately let go of Tao Ran's hand and ran over quickly. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

It was agreed before that she would send someone to invite Sister Tao, and then asked the fourth brother to teach Sister Tao how to ride a horse. Why didn't this guy seem to see that she and Sister Tao had changed their clothes and came back!Just standing here in a daze!Sister Tao is so clever, what if she thinks that her fourth brother is a piece of wood!
"Oh? Oh." Mu Huan hurriedly withdrew his seemingly blank gaze, and his face turned slightly red again—since Miss Lei didn't realize that he was staring at Tao Ran in a daze, he might as well pretend to be stupid.

Who told him that this girl has a sharp mouth, she has only been here for a few months, and those who have already ridiculed the second brother don't like to go back to the General Military Mansion.If the second brother doesn't come back, who knows if sister Lei will taunt him every day instead?
"Little Tao, take it easy, you don't need to hold the rein tightly." Mu Huan followed the red mare, teaching Tao Ran in a low voice and patiently.

"Yes, that's it. The hand holding the rein hangs down naturally, and you don't have to look down at the horse's head all the time. It's right to look directly at the road in front of the horse's head." Mu Huan chuckled: "When the road ahead is about to turn, you can Take the rein lightly, don't force it too hard, it's easy to startle the horse."
