Chapter 93: Participating in the Jockey Club Xu Nianlai Horse Racing

Three days later, the horse racing club hosted by Wang Pingting arrived as scheduled. This time, Xu Nian only brought Yanfu and Yanrong to the meeting.

Today Xu Nian was wearing a neat riding outfit. The blue shirt made her originally bright face look even more heroic.

Wang Pingting chose Mrs. Guan’s horse farm as the location, which was one of the dowries that Mrs. Guan brought when they got married.

Xu Nian got off the carriage and was dazzled by the sight of the horse farm in front of her. This place was much larger than the equestrian club she had visited in her previous life. There was no end in sight as far as the eye could see, which made her feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Miss, are you here to attend the horse racing club? I will lead the way for you."

The person who spoke was a midwife. Xu Nian nodded, and followed the midwife inside with Yanfu and Yanrong.

When Xu Nian arrived, many people had already arrived at the venue. Both young men and women were wearing riding costumes of various colors, which made Xu Nian a little dazzled for a moment.

As soon as Xu Nian entered the venue, she attracted a lot of attention. One reason was that Xu Nian's appearance was indeed too stunning, and the other was that the two maids beside her had extraordinary aura.

Wang Pingting was chatting with her cousin, and when she saw Xu Nian, she waved happily and said, "Sister, here."

Guan Minghui smiled helplessly. Fortunately, today was the horse racing club. If it was an ordinary banquet, her cousin would definitely be scolded by her aunt.

Xu Nian walked over slowly and said with a smile, "Sister said before that she would invite a few more people, but I didn't expect there would be so many people."

"Don't worry," Wang Pingting patted Xu Nian's shoulder and continued, "Most of the people here today are the sons and daughters of military commanders. They are all very forthright. Just feel free to make friends with them. If anyone is blind and makes me unhappy, just ask if this red lance in my hand agrees."

Xu Nian only then noticed that Wang Pingting had brought weapons with her, and asked curiously, "Aren't we going to have a horse race today? Why did you bring it with you?"

"Of course it's a competition. I must take first place today."

After Guan Minghui's explanation, Xu Nian realized that the Jockey Club is not just a group of young people riding horses for a ride, but also includes competitions in horseback martial arts, which is why most of the participants are children of military generals.

Wang Pingting pulled over Xu Nian, who was still discussing the details with Guan Minghui, and signaled her to look over there.

"The one wearing the green riding suit is the third son of the Wei family."

Xu Nian looked over and saw a young man with a baby face. He was talking to his friends about something, but he was smiling all the time. The first impression Xu Nian got from the third son of the Wei family was that of a sunny and cheerful big boy.

"He seems to have a friendly personality. I wonder how he will be treated after meeting her. What do you think?"

To be honest, Xu Nian had never had a boyfriend in her previous life due to family, work and other factors. But now Wang Pingting insisted that she be a military advisor, and she could only judge based on her feelings.

"I think so too. Sister, if the Third Young Master sees my performance later, will his jaw drop in shock?"

Xu Nian felt that the possibility was not high, as the Third Young Master Wei did not look like a man who would only bury his head in books.

"Then you might as well give it a try, sister."

“…”

The racecourse is behind the manor. These people must have made appointments to go horse racing often, because the horses here are very familiar with their scent.

Wang Pingting brought a brown mare and said to Xu Nian, "This horse has a gentle temperament. It's your first time riding, so you'd better be cautious."

Xu Nian nodded and thanked him. In fact, she had learned to ride a horse in modern times, joined an equestrian club and won some awards, but this was her first time riding a horse in Sheng Dynasty.

After Xu Nian approached the horse from the side, he tentatively patted the horse's back, then slowly placed his hand in front of the horse. The horse was indeed very docile as Wang Pingting said, and it actually came close to Xu Nian's palm and rubbed it.

Wang Pingting was relieved to see that the man and the horse were getting along very harmoniously.

"Sister, let me teach you how to ride a horse."

Wang Pingting explained the essentials and precautions of horse riding in detail and demonstrated it several times in person. Although Xu Nian was very familiar with these essentials, he still listened very carefully.

Wang Pingting was originally thinking about helping Xu Nian step into the stirrups and mount the horse, but unexpectedly, she saw an agile leaping figure, and Xu Nian had already flown and sat steadily on the horse's back.

Wang Pingting was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister, you lied to me and said it was your first time riding a horse. How can it be your first time with such skillful movements?"

Xu Nian shrugged, "There's nothing I can do. I'm just gifted."

Wang Pingting was amused by Xu Nian's cocky expression and said, "Then let me see if your riding skills are just as gifted as yours."

Although Wang Pingting thought Xu Nian was an experienced horse rider, she still emphasized the precautions for safety reasons.

Such meticulous and patient Wang Pingting also caught the attention of the third son of the Wei family who was not far away.

The reason he came to Wansheng County this time was precisely for the marriage between Zhuo and Miss Wang. Although he had already accepted the marriage before he came, he was still full of curiosity about his future wife.

He remembered the day they met. Miss Wang kept her head down quietly the whole time and he only vaguely saw her profile. To be honest, he no longer had any impression of Miss Wang.

Now, looking at the girl who patiently explained the key points to her friend, he seemed to have a better understanding of this person.

Wang Pingting saw that Xu Nian was riding very steadily, so she brought her to a group of friends.

"My sister Xu is riding a horse for the first time today. You must not play dirty tricks on her. If anyone hurts my sister, I will beat you up."

Everyone laughed and agreed. For these kids who grew up on horseback, if they wanted to win at the horse racing meeting, they would definitely set a trap for their opponents. However, they still knew how to strike a balance.

Everyone is ready and the Jockey Club has officially begun. The first event is horse racing, which, as the name suggests, is all about speed.

Originally, Wang Pingting was worried about letting Xu Nian participate in horse racing, but seeing such an exciting scene, Xu Nian could hardly suppress his excitement. After her assurance, Wang Pingting finally gave in.

A dozen horses were kicking restlessly in place. Xu Nian'an sat on the horse as if he had returned to the racecourse of his previous life. When a red flag was raised, the man and the horse flew out like an arrow.

A voice from behind could be heard faintly, "Wang Pingting, this is your first time riding a horse!"

Xu Nian was not paying attention to anything else at this moment. At this moment, she could only hear the sound of the wind. She patted the horse tenderly and murmured, "This is your honor. Rush forward."

The people behind looked at the mare, who was usually the most docile, running forward like crazy today, and muttered to themselves, "Crazy, crazy, really crazy."

However, riding on horseback, Xu Nian felt the long-lost taste of freedom.
