Wen Zhu is the unloved illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. From a young age, she was sent to a manor, and her birth mother was also out of favor.
In her previous life, she was sen...
"Well, take this silver and buy some delicious food outside."
After saying that, Luo Qiongying smiled and handed an exquisite silver ingot to Hong Sheng.
It was a rather heavy piece of silver, obviously meant to give the boy a surprise.
Hong Sheng took the silver, carefully hid it in his sleeve, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
His face was full of gratitude, and he seemed a little bit unable to believe that he would have such good luck.
Before leaving, Wen Zhu carefully instructed Hong Sheng several times, and then asked him to bring bodyguard Ding San with him.
The two of them walked to the door together, waved goodbye to Luo Qiongying, and then turned and left the yard.
When the carriage finally stopped in front of a famous restaurant on Qintai Street, the setting sun was still gently shining on this bustling alley.
They decided to take a short break here.
Seeing that it was not too late, Wen Zhu suggested, "Why don't we find a place to fill our stomachs first."
Then, she took the slightly excited Hongsheng into the small restaurant with exquisite decoration and lively atmosphere, and ordered a series of delicious and generous dishes.
"Let's just have a casual meal today. No need to be too formal."
Wen Zhu said this with a smile, warmth and anticipation in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ding San, who was standing nearby waiting for instructions, smiled innocently: "Miss Wen Zhu, you can enjoy the meal without worry. I will only eat the leftovers later and will not let the hosts spend any money."
Wen Zhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Oh, there's no need to be bothered with these etiquette issues today. Please take a seat with us, and let's enjoy this rare and warm moment together."
She then nodded to the little girl Su Yue standing next to her.
Just like that, after some mutual courtesy, the four of them finally sat around a table and began to taste the rich and delicious food on the table.
The whole dinner was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone enjoyed this rare reunion atmosphere.
Shortly after the meal, Wen Zhu checked the time again, then turned to Hong Sheng and said, "Brother, a very important friend will be arriving soon. Please go to the street to meet him in advance. At the same time, please pay attention to your surroundings to avoid any unexpected situations that may cause danger to yourself or others."
When Hong Sheng unexpectedly heard such an arrangement, he involuntarily stopped using his chopsticks and stared at his sister with his big eyes.
Suddenly, the skills and knowledge she had repeatedly taught me some time ago about how to safely handle a horse that ran away from control emerged in my mind - it turned out that these were all preparations for meeting this unknown person!
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he was more confident and determined about the new task. So he nodded solemnly to show that he understood everything, and then quickly went outside the door with Ding San to wait for the arrival of the distinguished guest.
At the same time, Wen Zhu, who stayed in the store, appeared to be very calm on the outside, just quietly savoring the fragrant tea in her hand, but in fact her heart was like a raging storm and could not calm down - it was obvious that she was extremely anxious and worried about the person who was about to come.
If you can't control the frightened horse, the consequences will be disastrous.
If a horse loses control, it will not only pose a great threat to the passengers in the vehicle, but also cause unexpected harm to innocent pedestrians along the way.
I hope God will bless me and never let my brother encounter any danger.
This thought kept lingering in his mind, making him feel indescribable tension and worry.
Soon after, a horse-drawn carriage, out of control, appeared around a sharp turn.
The sudden intrusion of the carriage plunged the originally quiet street into chaos.
The out-of-control horse pulled the carriage at a wild gallop.
The sound of horse hooves shook everyone's heart like thunder, and the air around them seemed to be vibrated by this force.
Passersby around hurriedly dodged to avoid being hit.
Men and women ran in panic, trying to get away from the impending danger.
The driver was obviously frightened, with a look of fear on his face.
He gripped the reins tightly with both hands and pulled hard, trying to stop the galloping horse.
However, this action enraged the horse, which was already filled with fear and anger, causing it to become even more unrestrained. In a fierce struggle, it even threw the driver off the seat and threw him high into the air.
At the critical moment, Hong Sheng took a deep breath and rushed forward. His eyes were firm and there was no hesitation at all.
He quickly approached the wildly running horse, tightly grasped the only opportunity in his hand - the long reins, and jumped up with his agile and flexible body, and successfully landed on the back of the madly running horse under the incredible gaze of everyone.
Seeing that the young master had actually managed to climb onto the mad horse's back, Ding San immediately realized that now was not the time to hesitate, so he mustered up the courage to follow and lightly jumped onto the carriage to help calm the passengers who had become extremely uneasy due to excessive fright.
Hong Sheng first gently pressed the protruding part behind the horse's neck a few times, using gentle but powerful movements to calm the horse's spirit; then, he decisively pulled the reins on one side, and his whole body almost completely tilted to one side of the horse's back.
This operation inevitably causes the horse's head, which originally wanted to continue moving straight forward, to shift in the opposite direction, and its line of sight also changes accordingly.
As the route ahead became less clear, the horses that had been planning to gallop faster suddenly felt a little confused and lost, and instinctively slowed down.
What happened next made all the onlookers hold their breath: the young knight took advantage of the situation to sit up straight, quickly changed sides and pulled the other reins even harder.
As a result, the whole process worked like magic - as the horse's head tilted sharply to the other side again, its speed dropped again.
At this time, the time is ripe.
Hong Sheng decisively grabbed the reins on both sides and gave the command to slow down until he finally stopped completely.
Finally, the horse stopped steadily amid cheers.
Afterwards, Hong Sheng quickly led the tamed mount to a safer place on the roadside and found a suitable tree trunk to tie it firmly.
After making sure the horse wouldn't get out of control again, he hurried back to the carriage to check carefully to see if anyone was injured.
Sitting in the carriage was an old man who was nearly seventy years old.
Despite the thrilling and bumpy journey just now, the elder still maintained a calm demeanor, although his face turned a little pale due to the violent shaking.
After getting off the car, he calmed down and stared at the young savior, then bowed slightly and asked, "What's your name, young man?"
"Senior, you are too polite."
Hong Sheng responded modestly, "My name is Xu Hong Sheng."
A friendly smile on his face.
“Not only is he brave and fearless at such a young age, he can even control such a ferocious horse.
It’s really not easy!
