Borrow someone good at horsemanship?
Jiang Yan didn't expect that Mr. Ning came to him specifically just for this matter.
In his opinion, this matter is not as important as the piece of paper Mr. Ning gave him just now.
"Mr. Ning wants someone with good equestrian skills. Is he driving a carriage or delivering a message?"
"No, I want him to teach my third brother and me how to practice equestrian skills. The martial arts exam will be held soon. However, because there were few horses in Ning Mansion before, I never thought about taking the martial arts exam. My equestrian skills can be said to be very good. Shit, even the third brother is unsatisfactory."
Ning Wuyang thought of Jiang Yan's cool and unrestrained appearance every time he went out, and he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
If Jiang Yan hadn't held a high position and was the parent official of the Jinling Mansion, he would have been so busy with official duties that he might not even be able to have dinner.
He must invite Jiang Yan to be his teacher.
Jiang Yan didn't take it seriously when he heard him belittle himself like this, and just thought it was a humble statement.
"If you have thought about equestrian skills like the martial arts examination, it is not difficult. I really have no impression that the government officials in Jinling are good at equestrian skills. But Jiang Yang and Jiang He around me, they followed me all over the country, and their equestrian skills are very good, especially He is Jiang Yang, and his riding skills are even better."
There is a difference between horsemanship and riding.
Equestrianism specifically refers to the technique of riding a horse, and riding a horse requires training the horse first.
Riding skills can be mastered by horses, donkeys, cows, and mules. You must have the ability to communicate with or tame these riding animals.
Ning Wuyang was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Yang, who had a humble appearance, to be so powerful.
Among the three teachers, one must be my teacher. If you are honest, I will not deceive you.
"Is Jiang Yang free recently?"
Now that there is a suitable candidate and he knows everything about him, how can Ning Wuyan be willing to let him go?
After Jiang Yan thought carefully, he nodded.
"I have been active around Jinling recently. Mr. Su has just clarified the officialdom of Jiangnan Road. Even if I offend others, they will not dare to do anything to me. Jiang Yang can be used by sir."
If you borrow it, you will even save on remuneration.
Ning Wuyan was not polite to Jiang Yan, and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. If you lack guards, I can give you Yunfei for a few days."
Anyway, he would only stay in Zhangjiazhuang to practice equestrian skills.
Counting the days, Zhou Jingxian had almost arrived in the capital. According to her character, Zhou An's death would never be hidden from the old emperor.
As for the old emperor's methods of doing things, he generally understood it. Based on the premise that Zhou An was dead and tobacco had not yet been successfully cultivated and promoted, Zhou An's death would not cause any splash.
On the contrary, Zhou Jingxian's straightforwardness will completely dispel the old emperor's suspicion that Zhou An's death may have been a set-up for him. Then, as a major contributor to the discovery of tobacco, he once reminded Su Rui that the Jinwang faction wanted to attack him. Unfavorable things.
The old emperor will definitely beat King Jin and let King Jin turn the conflict with him into friendship. However, for the sake of the overall situation, King Jin will definitely not act as domineeringly as Zhou An.
Even if he really suspected that he had killed Zhou An, he would have to suffer for a while without being able to take revenge.
"Haha, I can't control that boy Yun Fei. I still have Jiang He. I really can't lack manpower, so I'll ask Ning Zhaomo for help. You can just let Jiang Yang teach you. If he is an equestrian instructor, he can teach you It is also an honor for a martial artist to come."
Ever since Jiang Yan stopped serving water, his compliments became more and more mellow.
Ning Wuyang immediately decided: "Come here, let's go to Zhuangzi for a quick meal before leaving."
"I still have something else to do..."
"I cook."
"Can!"
Jiang Yang and Jiang He were not surprised at all when Jiang Yan was intercepted and taken back to Zhangjiazhuang.
In their opinion, apart from His Majesty, the only one who can make the master change his plan now is Mr. Ning, and even the Governor Su is useless.
I originally thought that if they followed the master to Zhangjiazhuang, they could have a dinner and then leave.
Unexpectedly, when night fell and he was about to leave, Jiang Yan, who was slightly drunk, dragged him across Jiang Yang and pushed him in front of Ning Wuyan.
"You stay."
Those three words made Jiang Yang seriously suspect that his master was drunk.
But he saw with his own eyes that the master only drank one or two glasses of wine and drank some sobering soup. He said that when he returned to the government office, he had to discuss official matters with Mr. Su, so he probably wasn't too drunk.
Why should he be left in Zhangjiazhuang?
"Mr. Ning, let's say goodbye."
"Master Jiang, walk slowly."
Ning Wuhuang walked Jiang Yan and his party to the gate until they could no longer see their backs. He turned around and looked at Jiang Yang, whose face was full of resentment as he was left behind, and made a joke.
"Brother Jiang Yang, Mr. Jiang is keeping you here. You don't have to be his bodyguard during this period of time. You have to watch people's movements all day long and be on tenterhooks. Are you happy? Are you happy?"
"..."
Jiang Yang resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
There was no trace of joy or happiness on his face.
A child born into a family like theirs has the same honor and disgrace as his master.
Does it mean that he no longer has to be a guard, so he was transferred to Mr. Ning?
Jiang Yang didn't know what he had done wrong to end up in such a disaster.
"Brother Jiang Yang, I saw you were taking care of Mr. Jiang during the banquet, and you didn't eat or drink well. How about I let the kitchen go and bring you some midnight snacks?"
"..."
Jiang Yang thought of the fragrant food at Ning's house, and suddenly felt that he didn't stay here just to suffer.
Seeing the more respectful look on Mr. Ning's face, he couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Ning, do you want me to stay and help you do some dangerous things?"
Or the kind that might cost you your head.
"Why did Brother Jiang Yang say this?"
"I didn't do anything, so they gave me midnight snacks, which made me feel like a New Year pig fattened to be slaughtered."
Don't blame Jiang Yang for thinking too much, it's just that he's not used to such treatment.
Ning Wuyang laughed loudly when he heard this, and after laughing, he cupped his fists and bowed.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang didn't tell Brother Jiang Yang that the reason for leaving you in Zhangjiazhuang is to teach me and Third Brother equestrian. There is nothing else, and I don't know if this is considered dangerous."
Teaching horsemanship?
Jiang Yang shook his head like a rattle.
His equestrian skills are excellent, and even his own master's equestrian skills improved by leaps and bounds after his guidance.
"I still wonder why I'm staying here, but it's like this."
Jiang Yang understood.
He was lent to Mr. Ning by his master to be his apprentice.
Thinking that both his master and himself were under the care of Ning Mansion, the food he had eaten before and what he drank today could not be enjoyed in vain.
Moreover, he had no right to make the decision, so he decisively ordered a roast duck as a midnight snack and had the right to pay for Mr. Ning's tuition.
Jiang Yang was left behind.
Ning Wuyang sent someone to deliver a letter to Ning Mansion to inform his third brother.
Early the next morning.
After breakfast, the sun was just rising.
Ning Wuyi rode his tall horse and came to Zhangjiazhuang in a leisurely manner.
Just after arriving at the gate, the steward who had been waiting here for a long time pointed to the broad grassland on the east side of Zhuangzi.
"The Fifth Young Master had breakfast an hour ago and went there to practice equestrian skills. Let me tell the Third Young Master that if you haven't eaten, go to the Zhuangzi to eat first before going over."
"I came here after eating."
Ning Wuyi was eager to learn, tightened the reins, turned around, and headed towards the grass.
After walking a hundred feet, I finally heard the neighing of the horse, mixed with Jiang Yang's frightened shouting.
"Mr. Ning, don't hug its neck all the time..."
"If you don't hug its neck, don't keep pulling its hair..."
"Forget it, why don't you just hug its neck..."
on the grass.
Jiang Yang felt very tired.
He found that he had underestimated the difficulty of being a tutor for Mr. Ning, and understood why there were rumors that Mr. Ning's teachers were saying that Mr. Ning was a big idiot.
