Liaodong Horse Farm is located more than 200 miles northwest of Dongningwei, and is a natural grassland covering an area of tens of thousands of acres.
Because of the consideration of Cai Qing and Cai Sang's carriage, Doudou and Huo Xiao did not run very fast, ran for a while and walked slowly for a while, and after walking for about fifty or sixty miles, the official road almost came to an end.
Huo Xiao took out the reins of the horse, took out his pocket watch, looked at the hour, and said to Doudou: "Little lentil, the next road is not as smooth as the official road, and the carriage must be slower than the previous one, let's go to the post station in front to rest, otherwise we will have to wait until the horse farm to eat." ” Doudou turned his head to look at the carriage that had been following them, nodded and said, "Well, listen to you." ” The post station was indispensable in reporting military information and transmitting documents, and it also played a great role in transporting supplies.
The post station management of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very standardized, not only with post guards and mules and horses used to transport supplies, but also with sufficient food for passing errands.
But it's okay to eat well in such a place, and if you want to eat well, you can only hope for it.
They entered the inn, and the postman quickly served them food and tea.
A large plate of mixed noodles and steamed buns, a few plates of stir-fried vegetarian dishes, and a pot of coarse tea made with tea foam, fortunately, it is still clean, and a few people who went out did not make much fussiness, and hurriedly ate a few bites and continued to hurry.
After walking for about a hundred miles, the group finally entered the boundary of Liaodong Racecourse.
It was summer, and the whole horse farm was green, and although it was almost dusk, many horses could still be seen leisurely eating grass.
Although Doudou likes to ride horses as a child, he has never ridden for such a long time to travel so far, in fact, his waist and two legs have long been sore and painful, especially the tender meat on the inner thighs is hot and spicy, and it is estimated that the skin is worn out.
But she had never seen so many good horses together, and felt that she could not see them with a pair of eyes, and as soon as she arrived at the horse farm, she immediately put the pain behind her, and drove the ponies directly towards them.
Huo Xiao behind her could only helplessly follow, although these horses in front of her were not top good horses, they also had tempers.
In case any of them look at them, these strangers are not pleasing to the eye, and suddenly go crazy.
Lentils certainly couldn't cope, and it was he who was unlucky in the end.
"Brother Che" Doudou rode around those horses for a while, and suddenly turned his head and shouted at Huo Xiao.
"I think these horses are pretty good, but they're not as good as my bean paste."
These horses are not as beautiful as bean paste in terms of size and coat color.
Especially the temperament, it is far less arrogant and noble than bean paste.
Seeing this, Doudou couldn't help but raise his little chin proudly, and his beautiful and delicate little face became more and more moving under the reflection of the sunset.
Lentils, you are talking nonsense, my lord has put a lot of effort into finding a satisfactory mount for you, but he is so happy to see the girl he likes because of the gifts he has carefully selected.
Huo Xiao's mood became clear again.
"Brother Che, I only learned today that even in a place like Liaodong Racecourse, Dousha is a rare good horse, and my uncle is so good to me," Doudou said, his eyes seemed to be a little red.
Huo Xiao felt that if he continued to get along with lentils, he would go crazy sooner or later, and no one could stand such ups and downs.
You're in a hurry here, she can make you happy at once, and before you can laugh out loud, she can put out your enthusiasm with a basin of cold water.
However, neither the cunning nor the unforgiving words in her eyes.
Whether it is her swaggering personality or her pretty and lively appearance, especially her true feelings, everything makes him excited.
"Little lentil, you have ridden hundreds of miles this day, and you don't feel pain in your legs" Huo Xiao adjusted his mood and reminded with a light smile.
As soon as he said this, Doudou Fang's uncomfortable feelings all came back, and he hurriedly drove the pony over and shouted: "It's painful for me, then let's go find Old Man Wang."
I'm hungry too. ” Seeing her in a hurry, Huo Xiao stroked his forehead and said, "Don't be in a hurry like this, it's very late to eat at the horse farm, and the horse breeder has to settle the horses before dinner." ” Doudou was even more anxious: "Then we have to hurry up to Old Man Wang's house."
I brought a lot of ready-made food, and in the past, I could just get a few side dishes as soon as it was hot, and the old man could have a good meal in the evening. ” Huo Xiao frowned and said, "You really want to go directly to him."
Doudou said impatiently: "Haven't you been here many times, hurry up and lead the way."
Lentils really doesn't have any concept of identity or family.
If it was an ordinary high-ranking lady, the old man who raised horses was two feet away from her, and it was estimated that he would be driven away by dirty.
Huo Xiao couldn't resist her, so he had to resign himself to taking the reins of the horse.
Turn the horse's head and run to the other side.
After another quarter of an hour or so, Doudou and the others finally came to a row of three simple wooden houses, which was the residence of the old man who raised horses.
Huo Xiao looked familiar, jumped off the horse and walked directly to the wooden house in the middle and shouted: "Is Lao Wang at home?"
Doudou also quickly turned over and dismounted and walked to Huo Xiao's side, and said softly: "Brother Che, you are really rude, the old man Wang is so old, how can you call him Lao Wang." ” Huo Xiao couldn't help but defend: "I have known him for more than ten years, and the first time I rode a horse was on the back of a horse he held, so it is necessary to be so polite" This is by no means a lie, his equestrian skills are taught by King Fu.
"Then you should respect him more, don't think that you are great if you are the eldest young master."
Doudou looks down on the style of these young masters of big families the most, and in her opinion, the old people should be respected.
Huo Xiao said with a smile: "It's just a horse breeder, what do you think I should call him, Old Man Wang, Uncle Wang is still a prince."
Crunch At this moment, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and King Fu, who was dressed in coarse cloth, glared at Huo Xiao angrily, and scolded in his throat: "Which stinky boy is messing around in front of Lao Tzu's door, is he impatient?"
Ho so big and magnificent, Doudou felt that his eyes lit up, Old Man Wang looked decent in the Dou family that day, and today he returned to his own territory It is completely different Although he is still dressed in a rough dress, the momentum of the whole body has suppressed the big white rice balls Huo Xiao wanted to scold, and secretly glared at King Fu, Second old man, what kind of good talk do you want to make a good talking about the old man who pretends to raise horses, what kind of score are you putting in front of my little master King Fu didn't pay attention to Huo Xiao's glance at him, turned his head to look at Doudou, and said expressionlessly: "Little girl who doesn't know horses, what are you doing here with this stinky boy?"
Doudou was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the old man's guidance that day, the little horse has a comfortable stable, and now I am familiar with it, and I came to visit the old man today to express my gratitude to the little girl." ” King Fu rolled his eyelids: "Empty-handed" Doudou said attentively: "Where can you look over there," he said, pointing to the carriage behind him, "It's all some appetizers cooked by the little girl herself." ” King Fu stroked his long beard: "Enter the house" With that, he walked into the house with his hands behind his back, and Doudou chased after him. t1706231537:
