Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 237 Equestrian
Seeing that she was straightforward, the horse dealer gave her some discounts when she was equipped with saddles and other things.

Du Xiaoyu happily led the horse to the intersection, and asked Zhou Kun, "Uncle Zhou, is this horse really that good? You don't need to bargain at all?"

"This horse is still young, but only about two years old. It is normal for him to ask for more expensive horses."

That's it, Du Xiaoyu nodded.

Du Xian also looked around the horse, shook his head and said, "Such a good horse, how could you be willing to put a cart on it!"

He is soft-hearted, but he does not favor one over the other. The cattle at home are often tied to the farmland. Thinking of the cattle, Du Xiaoyu calculates the time. In her opinion, it only takes a while, and it turns out that seven or eight years have passed. , the cow is also old without knowing it.

It's time for him to enjoy his old age, and he has to buy another calf these days.

Zhou Kun had already driven the carriage over, and he wanted to take this horse back, but he hadn't been trained to pull the cart. He was afraid that it would not cooperate with the other horse, so Li Yuanqing rode it back.

Du Xiaoyu looked enviously at Li Yuanqing who was riding on horseback. She liked horseback riding in her previous life, but she was always busy with work and didn't find time to learn it. Now she can only sigh.

Seeing her expression, Li Yuanqing laughed, bent down and held her waist, and hugged her up with all his strength.

Du Xiaoyu opened his mouth wide, and the other two also looked surprised.

"Father, I'll take Xiaoyu to ride a horse for a while."

Du Xian nodded blankly, but didn't react for a moment.

With a flick of Li Yuanqing's whip, the horse galloped forward like a galloping arrow. For a moment, everything seemed to be blurred.

Du Xiaoyu was sitting in front, her face turned pale with fright, she turned around and hugged Li Yuanqing's waist, a hearty laughter came from above, she gritted her teeth, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Don't you want to ride a horse? I just want to satisfy you."

"You are so satisfied? You want to scare me!" She really wanted to pinch him a few times to vent her anger, the speed was really frightening, she never knew how terrifying a horse galloped, as if it was going to knock her off .

"You'll be safe if you hug me, don't worry." He suppressed a smile.

Du Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but pinch him.

He grinned, but he was never happy in his heart, such a small gesture made him happy, and it was the first time in these years that the two of them were so close.

"Okay, okay, I'll ride slowly, you sit still, in fact, riding a horse is not difficult." He pulled the rein and let the horse slow down.

Sure enough, he stopped bouncing, Du Xiaoyu pressed against his chest, his face was already flushed, he let go of his hands at this moment, and sat upright, but the two of them were still very close, and the warmth of his body could be felt on their backs.

Li Yuanqing taught her seriously, telling her how to use the reins, how to control the direction of the horse's running, and how to sit to adapt to the bumps.

She calmed down and concentrated on studying.

The horse gradually ran faster again, the wind blew at a slightly suffocating speed, her hair flew back and swept Li Yuanqing's face.

He slowly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around her waist.

She couldn't help but froze. If the actions of the two of them were seen by others, they might not be able to clear it up even if they jumped into the Yellow River. At this moment, she felt some indescribable feeling in her heart. They seemed to be the only ones on the long road forever. Two people, can't go to the end.

His breath gradually became stronger, "You like riding a horse, I can take you hunting in the future."

Her ears were burning hot, his face was so close, her breath touched her cheek lightly, extremely ambiguous.

The place became quiet all of a sudden, as if the wind stopped blowing, he said again, "At that time, we will build a fence in the forest, keep the horses in it, and plant some fruit trees around..."

His voice was erratic but so heavy, at the end, he said, "Xiaoyu, will you marry me?"

This sentence was a bit sudden, her heart fell back to the original place, and she turned her head, only to see a pair of eyes full of expectation, full of friendship, and full of sincerity, as dazzling as the colorful rays of light in the sky.

How many times, she imagined that a man would say this to her one day, but she was disappointed again and again, but she never expected it.

She was tired and realistic, and gradually became numb on the road of blind date.

I never thought that this moment would come at this time...

Time passed little by little, and while waiting impatiently, Li Yuanqing saw her smile slightly.

"it is good."

She agreed, and he was ecstatic. Seeing her so close, he couldn't bear it anymore, bowed his head and kissed her.

The horse ran freely on the road, completely unaware of the sweetness of the two people on the horse at the moment.

Her face was flushed, she leaned back under his attack, then stretched out her hand to push him, "We're almost in the county, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

He smiled, but didn't answer this, "My father has arrived in Jinan Mansion the day before yesterday." The meaning in the words is self-evident, he is going to tell Li Yu about it.

After the two kissed just now, Du Xiaoyu also confirmed his heart. If he didn't like that person, he would never enjoy it like this.She stroked her lips lightly, but she didn't expect this person's skills to be so good. She coughed lightly, "Aren't you afraid of your father's objection?"

"Don't be afraid, you will stand with me anyway, and you will always find a way for me, won't you?"

Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at him, "I haven't even married you yet, so I have to worry about this kind of thing. How dare you make such a request to me?"

"From now on, mine will be yours, why can't you mention it?" Li Yuanqing smiled, "Let's work together, is there anything we can't do?"

Du Xiaoyu curled her lips, "The other girls are all at home waiting for the day when they get on the sedan chair, they don't have to do anything..."

He stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, "Okay, okay, you don't have to do anything, I just want to marry you in sooner? You have no conscience, you don't understand anything!"

She chuckled, and asked seriously, "Why did your father come to Jinan Mansion?"

"His Majesty ordered him to serve as the governor of Jinan Province and come here to supervise the civil affairs." Li Yuanqing didn't say much, since his father was here, he would naturally find time to talk to him about marriage. His perfunctory attitude last time must have annoyed Li Yu.

Seeing his unnatural expression, Du Xiaoyu said, "You fragrant bun, everyone wants to take a bite. Could it be that a young lady from the capital has taken a fancy to you again this time?"

"You think too much, and you haven't decided yet."

Du Xiaoyu snorted, "Don't say I didn't remind you, you should settle Miss Ruan's matter as soon as possible, don't be procrastinating, otherwise..."

Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, "What else?" He reached out to touch her lips, "Can you still go back on your word?"

She is not from the ancient times, she is about to give her body after a kiss, Du Xiaoyu's eyes flashed slyly, and she stuck out her tongue, "No one saw it, what can you do to me?"

Li Yuanqing was startled, she really is not an ordinary person, she can say such words!It seems that you have to get married early to be really safe.

In fact, is it possible to reconcile after being married?Du Xiaoyu doesn't think that whoever marries is really tied to him for a lifetime!
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have jumped up in anger.

Seeing the gate of Feixian County from a distance, Li Yuanqing got off his horse, carried Du Xiaoyu off the horse, and waited at the intersection for a while before Zhou Kun drove the carriage over.

"This horse needs to be trained before it can pull the cart." Zhou Kun explained to Du Xian, "Otherwise, it won't be able to sit still, and some people with a bad temper may hurt themselves."

"Oh, I'm going to trouble brother Zhou." Du Xian cupped his hands at him.

"Anyway, our carriage hasn't been ordered yet, so there's no rush." ​​Du Xiaoyu said, "Father, I'm still in the county anyway, so go and order the carriage first, okay?"

"It's getting late." Du Xian looked at the sky, the sun had already set.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't need the carriage right now, just let Zhou Kun take you back after finishing your work." Li Yuanqing smiled.

"How can this be done?" Du Xian asked hurriedly.

"It's not the yamen's carriage, it's my own, so it's okay."

Du Xian didn't refuse anymore, Li Yuanqing also had something to deal with, so he said goodbye at the intersection, the horse was naturally taken to the stable by Zhou Kun, told them about the time to pick it up, and then left.

The best carpentry shop in Feixian County is the shop run by Huang's family. Their carriages are also excellent. The business is very good. The entrance is very lively and people come and go.

"Let's order a bigger carriage. It doesn't have to be so crowded when sitting. It's better to have a few more horizontal grids inside, otherwise, if the road is bumpy, there will be no place to support..." Du Xiaoyu told Du Xian about her Most of the carriages are uncomfortable, so naturally they are not as good as those cars in her previous life.

Du Xian nodded again and again, "When the time comes, tell Master Huang to see if it works."

When they entered the shop, soon a clerk came up to greet them. Hearing that they wanted to order a carriage, another clerk came up to greet them immediately.

Generally, they ask about the style, what kind of wood is needed, whether it is good or ordinary, and what kind of livestock is used to pull it, because there are many carts pulled by oxen and mules, and various factors must be taken into consideration.

Du Xiaoyu knew that they were very professional, no wonder the business was so good.

"Will you be very busy? How long will it take to finish?" She asked.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time for other furniture. As for the carriages, there are not many people coming to order recently. We all have special masters, so it will be very fast, about half a month." The guy said very politely. In detail, "If you wait to use it, you can rush to work, but it will cost more money."

Du Xian hurriedly said, "No hurry, no hurry, we are not in a hurry to use it, you can take your time."

Du Xiaoyu told the clerk about ordering. Hearing what she said, the clerk nodded again and again, and looked at her differently.

"This girl is very careful. She has considered all of these things." The man took his notes and wrote them down. "All of them can be added, but there will be an additional charge."

"That's not a problem." Du Xiaoyu smiled.

Just as I was talking, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind, "Uncle Du, Miss Du, are you here to order a carriage too?"
