Solid and powerful arms easily lifted Zhuang Yun onto the horse, and Zhou Boxu jumped up and sat behind Zhuang Yun.
The two held the reins together, and Zhou Bo prefaced: "I'll take you to run a few laps first, and you can feel it."
"Drive!" After saying this, Zhou Boxu shook the reins violently, and the horse spread its iron hooves and started running along the racecourse.
The biting wind blew on his face, which made Zhuang Yun's face hurt, but the pleasure of galloping against the wind made Zhuang Yun extremely excited.
"Look ahead, keep your legs close to the horse's belly, stand upright, relax your shoulders..." Zhou Boxu taught Zhuang Yun while controlling the horse.
Zhuang Yun turned around and glanced back, and saw Zhou Boxu's head raised solemnly, his eyes solemn, and his expression solemn, exactly like the father he imagined in his dream.
"Don't be distracted." Zhou Boxu's voice sounded above Zhuang Yun.
Zhuang Yun quickly calmed down and listened carefully.
After three laps, Zhou Boxu slowed down his horse and let Zhuang Yun control the horse.
Zhuang Yun held the reins tightly with both hands and tried to control the horse at a canter according to the key points taught by Zhou Boxu.
“Don’t be afraid, but be careful.”
Zhou Boxu's calm voice fell in Zhuang Yun's ears, making him feel at ease for no reason.
"Drive!" After jogging for a lap, Zhuang Yun sped up.
The wind hit his face, and the feeling of being chased by the wind came back again, and Zhuang Yun had a proud smile on his face.
Jiang Ning, a classmate who was riding a horse, saw that Zhuang Yun could ride a horse and run freely, and couldn't help but be eager to try it.
"Drive!" Jiang Ning increased his speed slightly and the horse started to run lightly.
After running around for a lap without feeling any danger, Jiang Ning became more courageous, increased his speed, and ran around the racecourse with Zhuang Yun, one behind the other.
Jiang Shu got up from a nap. As soon as he arrived at the racecourse, he saw Jiang Ning riding a horse and her eyes widened in shock.
It can be seen that Yu Zheng, Zhui Yun and others all looked relaxed, and Jiang Shu felt relieved again after Zhu Feng followed closely.
They were neither in a hurry nor stopped, so it should be fine.
"Sister, I've learned how to ride a horse." Jiang Ning saw Jiang Shu from a distance and shouted to her with a smile.
Whoever is young is not frivolous, young people should be high-spirited.
Jiang Ning and Zhuang Yun were sitting on horseback, their faces filled with youthful vigor, and the cold wind blowing in their faces was a clarion call to cheer them on.
"Come and sit." Afraid that Jiang Shu would be too tired standing, Yu Zheng waved to her to sit and watch.
After Jiang Shu came and sat down, Yu Zheng gave her his warm tea, and finally touched her hand and asked her if it was cold.
Seeing Yu Zheng greeting Jiang Shu with greetings, Yu Lan marveled: "All the ladies in Beijing say you are cold and intimidating, and don't show mercy to others. If they see you like this, their jaws will probably drop."
In the years before and after Yu Zheng reached the crown, he was extremely talented and beautiful. He was also sought after by ladies in Beijing, and they all wanted to marry him.
But Yu Zheng is too cold and ruthless. When he sees a lady falling in front of him, he not only refuses to help her, but also moves away from her, for fear of being gossiped about.
The most cruel time was when he encountered a lady whose carriage was out of control. Yu Zheng asked Zhuiyun Zhufeng to forcibly stop the horse, causing the carriage to roll over and throw the person out of the car.
The hero saves the beauty, the young man is righteous, what a beautiful story.
But Yu Zheng stood there, neither picking up nor supporting her, watching helplessly as the lady fell in front of him.
In Yu Zheng's words, he thought about it and could not fall to death.
Since then, Yu Zheng's reputation for being cold-blooded and unkind has spread, making ladies who go to Beijing stay away and never dare to think about it again.
"Isn't it the same with Zhou Boxu?" Yu Zheng replied unhurriedly.
Yu Lan choked, and a thin layer of red appeared on his face.
Yes, Zhou Boxu, who was both civilized and military, was also the dream man of many ladies. But he has been single for many years and has never been close to anyone.
And now, for Yu Lan's sake, he was patiently teaching Zhuang Yun how to ride a horse.
There is no one who is born with a heart of stone. It is just that he has never met someone who is willing to turn into a soft heart.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shu leaned his head over and asked.
The two of them spoke very quietly, and Jiang Shu sat next to Yu Zheng and didn't really listen.
Yu Zheng said without changing his expression: "Jiang Ning and Yun'er are extremely talented, and they can learn to control horses in just a few times."
Jiang Shu had no doubt that he was there. Looking at the two people flying wildly in the racecourse, he smiled and said: "It can be seen that they all like riding horses."
"Yes, it's rare to see Yun'er so happy." Yu Lan sighed softly, with distressed eyes.
Jiang Shu comforted him: "Yun'er will always be so happy from now on."
The appearance of Zhou Boxu filled Zhuang Yun's lack of fatherly love.
"Yes." Yu Lan responded softly, looking at the two people riding together with gentle eyes.
Those were the two people she loved most.
When the sun was about to set on the mountain, Zhou Boxu stopped his horse and helped Zhuang Yun, who was reluctant to leave, to dismount.
"Uncle Zhou, it's still early." Zhuang Yun, who was in high spirits, wanted to ride for a while longer.
Zhou Boxu handed the horse over to his servant and said, "Beginners should not be greedy for too much. Too much is not enough. If you keep riding, you may not be able to walk tomorrow."
Zhuang Yun and Jiang Ning didn't believe it until they sat down and trembled uncontrollably.
"The back...is the stamina so strong?" Jiang Ning was shocked and pressed her legs with her hands, causing her hands to tremble as well.
Zhuang Yun was also shaking, and said with a frightened face: "Mom, my legs don't work anymore."
“Pfft——” Jiang Shu and Yu Lan were amused by their funny looks.
"Calling you greedy." Yu Lan laughed and scolded.
Zhuang Yun curled his lips, but did not regret it.
"It's getting cold, let's go to the front hall." Yu Zheng led Jiang Shu to get up, and the group went to the hall.
It's still early for dinner, and the young man is full of energy. Even if his legs are weak, his hands can't be idle. Jiang Ning called Zhuang Yun and they played chess together.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu each sat on one side, acting as military advisors.
"I'm freezing to death." When Sun Yijun and Yu Yuan came in, they both rubbed their hands, and the servants hurriedly handed Tang Pozi over.
In order to compete, the two people sat motionless in the Huxin Pavilion for an hour. It was strange that they were not cold.
"Drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Jiang Shu poured two cups of hot tea.
Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun sat down, drank a cup of hot tea with Mrs. Tang in their arms, and gradually warmed up their whole bodies.
When it got dark, the servants set up the table.
"Here are these meatballs again! I want to eat two bowls." Sun Yijun glanced at the vegetarian meatballs he had eaten last time.
"Is it so delicious?" Yu Yuan took a bite curiously, and his eyes immediately lit up.
He has been in Beijing these years, eating in all the major restaurants, and last year he stayed at Cuiyun Tower every day. He was very picky, but this meatball still amazed him.
"The prince's cook keeps his secrets secret."
Jiang Ning's appetite was aroused and she tasted one, then decisively filled half the bowl with a spoon.
Sometimes the simpler something is, the more unexpectedly delicious it is.
There was a large table of dishes, but in the end only the meatballs were eaten cleanly.
The night was already dark when they left the house. Zhou Boxu helped Zhuang Yun and Yu Lan get into the carriage, and then got into the Zhou family's carriage to take them back to the house.
Jiang Shu couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Zhou is very good. Sister A and Yun'er will be happy."
Looking at the carriage submerged in the night, Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said: "My sister is a very good mother and a qualified princess. She does not owe Dazhao or the banker. She deserves happiness."
"Yun'er is very sensible and filial. He should also have father's love."
Father's love, like mother's love, is indispensable and irreplaceable.
