Early the next morning, Ren Ning practiced martial arts at the school grounds and competed with several guards who had itchy hands.
Seeing that it was still early, he walked around his mansion. I used my gold finger to carefully check the defenses everywhere and saw that there was nothing glowing red, and I was completely relieved.
Return to the main courtyard.
"I've seen the general..."
People were coming and going in the courtyard, and servants were paying tribute one after another.
"Don't stop." Miao Dong didn't look like a lady at all.
She stood aside holding her waist, staring around with her eyes, "Are the comb, ruler, mirror, scissors, money box, basket, wishful scale and abacus all ready? Check them for me."
The servant rummaged around for a while and said, "Go back to the girl, everything is ready."
"Miao Dong," Ren Ning was a little surprised, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Miao Dong ran over with a smile on his face, "Brother, we are preparing the betrothal gift."
bride price?
Ren Ning reacted quickly and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "It's really nonsense."
He looked around and saw no figures of Yingpan and Jixiang.
"Where are your sisters-in-law and the others?"
"They're all in the inner room. But at this time, the ladies are checking up on my sister-in-law. You can go in later."
Ren Ning nodded and ignored them, and went to wash up and have breakfast.
When he came out again, Yingpan was already standing in the garden, looking at him with a smile.
Next to him was Ji Xiang, who was holding his tongue and keeping silent.
"Husband, are you satisfied?"
"I'm full. I'm almost full. It's better to be at home..."
"Okay." Before Ren Ning could speak, Yingpan had already blocked his mouth, "As I said last night, let's go see Zhui Feng together today. Let's go now."
Ren Ning pointed at the servants around him who were busy preparing betrothal gifts. He originally wanted to scold them, but he couldn't open his mouth when he looked at the smiling face in front of him.
He had no choice but to come over and said, "You want to see Zhui Feng, right? I'll go and bring him over. You're heavy, Ji Xiang, please help Madam go back to the house and sit down."
"General," said the unhappy Ji Xiang next to her, "As long as you are not tired or injured at this time, it is a good thing for Madam to take a walk. Po Wen said it is conducive to the birth of the child."
Ren Ning suddenly understood and quickly took over Ji Xiang's position, helping her slowly walk towards the stable.
Jixiang originally wanted to follow him, but was rejected by Yingpan.
"Miao Dong is just a half-year-old girl, and she's quite cool with others. Ji Xiang, please stay here and see if there's anything else you haven't prepared yet."
"Oh." Ji Xiang had to stop.
Ren Ning shook his head, "Why is this girl so angry so early in the morning? It's like someone owes her tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Yingpan smiled and said nothing.
In the morning, she told Ji Xiang about their conversation last night.
Although her tone was relaxed, the little maid probably felt a little uncomfortable mentally.
The two of them were not in a hurry. They supported each other and walked forward slowly, sitting down and watching from time to time.
It took nearly half an hour to reach the stables.
咴咴咴.
As a military commander's residence, there were many horses raised in the stables.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a lot of horses neighing with great energy.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They all know and love horses. Not only do they not feel bored or harsh when they hear the sound of horses, but they feel like a spring breeze.
"The number of horses sounds like a lot, and they all seem young and healthy?"
Um.
Yingpan nodded proudly, "A little further north from Laigu is Yingling County, where you can still buy some good horses with a little money."
And with their current prestige in the four western counties, it is not difficult to buy some horses.
But it is limited to good horses.
The qualifications of these horses are not only far inferior to Ren Ning's Zhui Feng and Lei Er's Ben Lei, they are even inferior to the little red horse that Ying Pan brought over from the old Kailun tribe.
Ren Ning knew this in his heart, but he still nodded approvingly.
Although most of the guards in the General's Mansion are physically disabled, many of them can still ride horses and even fight.
Horses, like iron and salt, are strategic materials for various countries, and they are also consumables. Without enough background, it is unreliable to just rely on buying to maintain your business.
Yingpan wanted to buy some good horses first, and then find a way to breed his own high-quality horses.
"Most places in Guangxin are covered with mountains and forests, and there is not enough fodder for horses. Fortunately, the climate here is hot, and all plants grow very fast."
"I have already ordered people to find some land around and prepare it to be turned into pasture, specifically for growing fodder."
"If the trial breeding is successful, I believe we will have enough horses in the future."
Ren Ning nodded, lovingly tucking the hair on Yingpan's face behind her ears, "Thank you for thinking more thoughtfully than me."
He had never arranged these things.
"Now you know that I have worked hard?" Yingpan happily stroked her belly, "Why don't you hurry up and marry Sister Li as soon as possible and let her share the burden with me?"
Ren Ning held her hand speechlessly, "Panpan, I have no other thoughts right now. I just want our child to be born safely. We'll talk about the rest later, okay?"
Yingpan nodded, "You saw it just now. Anyway, I have already asked Miao Dong to prepare the betrothal gift, and I will find a matchmaker to send it over in the afternoon..."
With that said, the two entered the stable.
The venue is small and surrounded by fences.
There were not many horses in the stable, only about twenty including Zhui Feng.
The trough head had just fed the horses, and the owners had no need to use the horses for the time being, so he let them walk around in the field.
Among so many horses, the two of them saw the smooth Zhui Feng in the center at a glance.
咴咴咴.
Although there are not many horses, by nature, they still want to choose a leader.
Chai Feng was a newcomer. Apart from the eager little red horse, many other horses were neighing at it, and even made aggressive and provocative gestures.
However, the black horse held its head high like a proud general, ignoring the good horses around it.
"Zhuifeng!" Yingpan raised her hand to greet, "Come here."
The black horse turned around and looked over, seeing the two masters, his big dark eyes flashing with joy.
It chirped in response, squeezed out of the herd, and walked proudly to the fence between the two of them.
"Husband, look! Zhui Feng still remembers me."
Ha ha.
"Of course," Ren Ning laughed, "As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. They have good memories, so of course they will remember you."
The trough head was clever and sent the horse's favorite snacks early.
Yingpan quickly took some, feeding and stroking the black horse with a smile on her face, "It hasn't suffered any injuries these days, has it?"
"Of course not." Ren Ning shook his head quickly and pointed at himself proudly, "Don't forget that your husband is one of the eight generals of the Starfall Legion. I am no longer needed for such things as charging into battle. Zhui Feng naturally can do that. Not much hurt."
Yingpan lowered her eyes, smiled and nodded in agreement.
She knew that her husband just wanted to reassure her, so she slowly fed the war horse in her hand without saying anything else.
Now the news of the battle in Dingxi has spread throughout Yunchui, and even Yingpan has more detailed information about the battle than ordinary people.
If necessary on the battlefield, not to mention that Ren Ning is only one of the eight generals, even army generals like Wei Junqian and garrison generals like Huo Ling will have to fill in.
First latest.
