Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 77

[Chapter 48 You love my red flame so much… (2)]

First of all, Mrs. Li has a slender physique, and even if she is a famous horse of thousands of miles, she can only give it to her father and brother. She thought she wanted Yuyan Dan more, but she didn’t expect her to give up the medicine on her own initiative.

“Miss Du, what do you think?” Du

Tinglan only thought that her younger sister wanted Yuyandan, and Li Huaigu said exactly what she wanted, so she also said, “Everything is up to Her Royal Highness’s arrangement.”

Lin Chengyou wondered, he thought Teng Yuyi thought With Yuyan Dan, she couldn’t hide her joy, but her eyes were calm.

Strange, didn’t she want Yuyandan, but instead fell in love with the little red horse?

That horse had just come from the country of Dawan, and it was no problem to travel thousands of miles a day. Although he was used to seeing famous horses, it was the first time he had seen such a slender horse. Not surprising.

The queen turned her head and asked Lin Chengyou and the others, “What do you guys think?”

Lin Chengyou said with a smile, “Auntie, there is also a bottle of snow lotus pill in the temple, and the rareness is not under the jade pill.” The

queen smiled, this The child is smart to the core. Since it is a gift from the royal family, it seems very awkward to disassemble the reward. It is easy to say with Xuelian Dan, and it only needs to add a good horse.

The king of Chun’an County put down the tea cup leisurely: “Sister-in-law, Nanzhao State donated a batch of good horses to celebrate the birthday of the father of the state, and they are now kept in the stables. I will go to Gu Xian for my younger brother later, and ask him to pick another horse. The physique is petite.” The

Queen nodded secretly, the Prince of Nanzhao was also a good horse picker, so now, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Li still have their own set of rewards.

“Then there is Lao Minlang.” The

Prince of Chun’an lowered his eyes and bowed.

The crowd became more envious.

The queen smiled and said, “Did you hear? Yuyan Dan is for Mrs. Du, and Xueliandan is for Mrs. Li. As for the two horses, the little red horse on the bank is for Mrs. Li, and the one from Nanzhao is the one to choose from. Give it to Lady Du.”

Li Huaigu and Du Tinglan attended the ceremony.

The queen gave Zheng Shuangyin and the others the treasures of the second and third tiers respectively, and the banquet was dismissed.

When passing by the shore, Teng Yuyi looked eagerly at the palace people to take the horse away. In vain she spent so much thought, this cute little red horse still belongs to someone else.

***

After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Du brought Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi to pack up and come out. They met Li Huaigu and her daughter on the way, and the two families went out of Yueminglou together.

At the entrance of the villa, there are horses and horses, and there are chariots from various prefectures.

At the corner gate on the east side, there are several small palace people dressed in yellow clothes leading two horses to wait for the new owner. One horse’s mane is as red as flames. The other body is like purple satin, and the horse is not under the red horse.

Teng Yuyi watched the two famous horses through the curtain. It seemed that the purple horse was another thousand-mile horse chosen by the Prince of Chun’an and the Prince of Nanzhao last night.

Even though it is such an excellent purple horse, she still thinks that the red horse is more beautiful, and the red horse seems to be more jubilant, standing in front of people with a vigor, it seems that Lin Chengyou seems to love this horse at the beginning, even the saddle is different, Bai Yu. The saddle is paired with an ink-colored brocade, which is particularly dazzling under the sun.

Teng Yuyi sighed in disappointment. Famous saddles are easy to find, but famous horses are hard to find. Even if Cheng Bo personally chooses and buys them, he may not be able to find similar ones.

The palace servant came over with two horses and said happily, “The two little ladies will receive the reward.”

The elders of the Li and Du families were about to give their thanks, and the palace servant hurriedly said, “Your Highness has already ordered, so there is no need to kneel. , His Highness also said that if the two ladies are too timid and afraid to ride, they can give them to their father and brother, and there is no need to worry, as long as they make the best use of them.”

“This red horse rewards Madam Li, and this purple horse rewards Madam Du. Yes.” Another palace servant handed out the reins with a smile.

Li Huaigu seemed to show his respect for the gift given by the queen, and went to take the reins of the red horse with his own hands.

Li Huaigu froze in place.

The palace servant was startled, and hurried to drag the horse’s reins, but the little red horse paced around Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi on its own, looking at the slow and leisurely people, but couldn’t catch it.

Teng Yuyi was just a naughty little red horse at first, but the more she looked, the more she felt different. The horse seemed to be walking around her and her sisters, but her nose was always pointed at her, sneezing and sneezing, as if she was hiding something delicious. similar.

At this time, the imperial carriage of the empress came out of the main gate, and the prince and Lin Chengyou rode around to accompany him.

The princes turned their heads and saw the situation at the east gate, and they were both amused and surprised: “This little red horse has a good temper.”

Fearing that the emperor’s imperial carriage would be shocked, the palace people had no choice but to go forward and say: “This horse suddenly became stubborn. It can’t be tied, but how many more people should the slaves ask to tie this horse to Li’s house?” The

saint asked in the car: “Is this the red flame horse of Ah Da?” The

queen said helplessly: ” No, it’s just as naughty as its original owner. It was supposed to be given to Li Guangyuan’s daughter, which should keep the Li family from coming to the stage. Da, you have raised it, what do you say?”

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: “Injustice, this horse was very obedient when it was in the hands of my nephew, and my nephew went over to ask what happened to it.”

He rolled over and dismounted, and quickly walked to the Li Du family, who all saluted, “His Royal Highness. ”

Lin Chengyou nodded, whistled in his mouth, and the little red horse ran towards him happily.

Lin Chengyou stroked the little red horse’s mane: “It’s not long, but his temper is getting bigger every day. Let’s go, go where you should go.”

Then he grabbed the reins and personally led the horse towards Li Huaigu.

Li Huaigu’s skirt moved slightly and stepped aside gently: “Sir.”

Lin Chengyou came to Li Huaigu, and was about to hand the reins to the servant next to her, when one of them was not careful, the little red horse turned back to Du Tinglan and He Teng Yuyi ran away.

Lin Chengyou pretended to whistle a few times, but the horse was still disobedient, either going back to him and arching affectionately, or circling around Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi, refusing to go to Li’s house.

Everyone couldn’t help laughing: “Is this horse going to choose its own owner?” The

prince said to the queen, “Auntie, it hasn’t been long since this horse arrived at Ada’s side, so he probably doesn’t know much about this horse’s habits.”

Lin Chengyou reluctantly returned . Immediately: “Auntie, I can’t do anything about it either. Anyway, the two horses are of the same quality. Otherwise, I’ll give the purple light horse to the Li family and the red flame horse to the Du family.”

Chun An The county king gave Lin Chengyou a meaningful look.

The queen did not suspect him: “Forget it, everything has a spirit. Since that little stubborn horse has found its own owner, let it go.”

So the two horses changed their positions. It was given to Du Tinglan.

***

Teng Yuyi and his party returned to Chang’an in the afternoon.

The three brothers and sisters went back to the room to change their clothes, and excitedly went to the stable to see the little red horse.

As soon as the horse entered the mansion, it was handed over to the steward who specially took care of the horses. After entering the mansion, the little red horse was unexpectedly obedient, ate forage and drank water, and lazily basked in the sun in the stable.

Teng Yuyi asked the steward to let the pony out, and happily walked around it: “I’m still worried that it will be stubborn again.”

Strangely, wherever she went, the pony’s nose followed.

Du Shaotang snorted: “I thought it liked my sister, but now, looking at it, it seems that it likes Cousin Yu.”

Du Tinglan tried to hold the little red horse, but she couldn’t hold it, she wondered: “It’s true. ”

Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.” Teng Yuyi slowly took out a bag of Shijingchun from the arm cage. In addition to the sachet she used to wear today, she only brought this bag of wine. Maybe the horse smelled her. The wine on his body was fragrant, so he kept leaning towards her.

She patted the little red horse on the neck: “Pony, are you craving for wine too?” As

she said that, she put the wine bag in front of the little red horse. Stepping back, quack quack fled back to the stable.

Teng Yuyi froze in place, Du Tinglan and Du Shaotang looked at each other.

“It’s not like loving wine, obviously I haven’t smelled it before.” Du Shaotang said.

Teng Yuyi was puzzled. She had never known this horse before, so there must be a reason why she liked to get close to her.

She wondered when she looked at herself, apart from the wine bag, what else could arouse the interest of a thousand miles of horses?

She took off the sachet around her waist and looked at it. She has loved to use roses as incense since she was a child (Note 1). This flower is rare, and few people use it as a spice except for her, but even if the scent is unique, it will not make a horse Treat her differently.

“Ayu, I advise you not to think about it, everything pays attention to fate, and horses are no exception.” Du Tinglan looked at the pony gently, “I said why you pushed Ajie last night, you have long been attracted to it, and now it is It’s yours, have you decided what name you want to give it?”

Du Shaotang helped with an idea: “Cousin Yu, its red mane is as bright as a flame, why don’t you just call it Zhu’er.”

Teng Yuyi walked to the stable Before, he tiptoed and stroked the little red horse’s head again.

She put her arms around the neck of the little red horse and happily put her face on it: “The name ‘Zhu’er’ is too common. My little red horse is unique. I have to give it a good name.”
