"Of course I won't drive you away."
How could Ning Wuyang be willing to drive her away? Just thinking of the rumors about her collection of beautiful pictures, he still asked her with a half-smile.
"Ms. Shen painted this painting to give it to me or to enjoy it for herself. Instead, she hung it in the legendary painting pavilion with the other ninety-nine beautiful pictures? Huh?"
"Of course..."
Before Shen Youchu could finish her words, Mei Xiang gently poked her in the lower back with her elbow, causing her to bite the tip of her tongue, and she shivered in pain.
Miss, you should think twice before speaking. Didn’t you see Mr. Ning’s face darken when he mentioned Jimei Tu?
Mei Xiang blinked hard, trying to convey her worries.
"Meixiang, are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Shen Youchu's concerned inquiry made Mei Xiang roll her eyes.
tired.
How about the young lady’s pursuit of a husband ends here?
"Inexplicable."
Shen Youchu murmured and looked at Ning Wuchang again. She couldn't see clearly against the light just now. Now that Ning Wuchang walked forward, she suddenly saw that Mr. Ning's expression was a little subtle.
How to describe it best?
It's blacker than the iron rod that was baked black last night.
Is he angry?
Shen Youchu suddenly realized it, and then secretly rejoiced: Mr. Ning is not jealous because of Jimei Tu, right?
"If it's not convenient for Miss Shen to tell you, just pretend that I haven't asked. I'll go riding first."
Ning Wuyan also realized that his question was too harsh for a painter, and it also seemed that he was stingy.
However, thinking that while Miss Shen was appreciating his painting, she also had to compare it with the other ninety-nine pictures, she always felt uncomfortable.
This picture of a horse in autumn is actually not necessary to be painted.
Just when Ning Wuyang was thinking about declining the request to paint today, he heard Shen Youchu hurriedly say: "I put all those paintings away and gave them to my mother for safekeeping."
ah?
Put it away?
"I don't draw beautiful pictures because I'm lustful, I do... I do it to hone my writing skills, and I've always liked beautiful things. In addition to beautiful pictures, I have also painted nearly a thousand pictures of the four seasons and centuries. Wutu, when we get to the capital, I will take you to the Shen family manor when I have the opportunity, and you will know after you take a look."
Shen Youchu doesn't like to explain to others the motivation and content of her paintings.
But this time, she inexplicably wanted to solve it clearly, for fear that if she leaked something, Mr. Ning would misunderstand her intention of painting.
"Okay, if I have the chance, I will definitely visit the Shen family manor and see Miss Shen's painting skills."
The corners of Ning Wuyan's mouth couldn't help but rise crazily.
Even though he knew Qin Shi was present, he did not shy away from his different emotions towards Shen Youchu.
When Shen Youchu saw that his face was finally no longer dark and he was smiling, he couldn't help but laugh too, and asked again: "Then can I paint?"
"Can."
Ning Wuyao thought: I will try my best to show my heroic side!
He strode up to the horse, reached out and patted the horse's mane gently, stepped on the stirrups, and turned over.
Qin Shi was still recalling the interaction between Ning Wuhuang and Shen Youchu, and when he was trying to confirm the irreversible relationship between the two, a bright metal light shone in his eyes, and he saw Ning Wuhuang's posture and smoothness that he had never seen before when he mounted the horse. , he was suddenly shocked.
what is that? !
Qin Shi saw that Ning Wuhu stepped down on his own initiative. It didn't look like someone had secretly set up an ambush. In addition, there was an extra piece of leather on the horse's belly to block it, so the horse's belly would not be injured. He threw the man off the horse and let him go first. He took a breath, but when he saw Ning Wuxu clamping the horse's belly hard, his face changed drastically in fear.
"Ning Shixian is stepping on a sharp weapon! Stop him quickly!"
No one moved at all.
Lian Jiang Yang, who was at the scene to guide Ning Wuyu to continue learning equestrian skills, even glanced at Qin Shi with pride.
He slept deeply last night and was not awakened by the smell of barbecue. When he woke up, he heard Master Xu's men mention that a dragon guard came from the capital last night to protect Mr. Ning's safety.
At this time, he saw that the Dragon Guard from the capital looked like he had never seen the world when facing the stirrups. He felt that His Majesty would behave the same way when he saw the effect of the stirrups.
"Why didn't anyone stop him?"
Qin Shi was still confused when he saw that Ning Wuyang had already run far away, and his running speed was getting faster and faster. However, Ning Wuyang on horseback, because of the metal pieces his feet were stepping on, his body was perfectly attached to him. Combined with the horse's back and belly, there is no risk of falling from the horse at all.
This made his eyes light up immediately, and he understood the purpose of the metal piece!
But he couldn't believe that there was such a wonderful thing in the world. He had never seen it in the capital, but he saw it in Jiangnan!
Compared with the trivial matter that Ning Wuhuang and Shen Youchu may have something to do with each other, this metal piece is the existence that should be reported to His Majesty the most!
"Xu~~"
When Ning Wuyan turned around and ran back, he reined in his horse and stopped ten steps away from Shen Youchu.
Qin Shi didn't care that Ning Wuxu was posing, and quickly rushed over, blocking Shen Youchu's view of positioning with his hands.
"Ning Shixian, why is your horse tied with such a piece of metal?"
"This is not called a metal piece, this is called a stirrup. Brother Jiang Yang, why don't you quickly explain it to Brother Long Wei from the capital?"
Ning Wuyan finally hovered, but when he saw the horse's front hoof falling and Shen Youchu's depressed expression, he couldn't help but become depressed.
no way.
He could only run one more lap.
"Brother Qin Shi, about the stirrups, you can ask Brother Jiang Yang, who teaches my third brother equestrian over there. I have business to do, so I'll take the first step and drive!"
…
Xiyi Pavilion, east wing.
Descartes slept until the sun was far south, then he opened his eyes and looked at the sun hanging high outside, still in a trance.
"I didn't expect that when I was over forty, I didn't fall asleep like young people. When I was in the Western Regions, I couldn't sleep peacefully. But when I came to the great city of Jing'an, I slept soundly. I slept until midnight and couldn't get up. "
The close guard standing nearby heard his self-deprecation and quickly said with a smile: "The general must have been tired from traveling all the way, and also because of the hard work of all parties in order to promote the competition. I hope you can rest for a few more days." Only then can you recover.”
Descartes shook his head when he heard this, showing a meaningful smile.
"It's not because of fatigue, but because of peace of mind. People here live and work in peace and contentment, guarding the tall and fixed city walls. They don't have to worry about the river water swelling or drying up, and not being able to eat tomorrow, let alone the invasion of foreign enemies, and not being able to see the sun tomorrow. I It’s a matter of doing as the Romans do.”
When the close guard heard this explanation, he couldn't help but show envy on his face.
It was his first time to come to Jing'an City in Daxing.
As soon as he could remember it, he heard it mentioned by the elders in his clan.
In the far east, there is a city full of gold and treasures.
The people there wear gorgeous silks and drink clear water and fine wine. They have the oldest civilization and the most beautiful girls.
