The woman in the carriage did not see what happened just now. She was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she soon returned to normal and revealed a faint smile.
"No matter what, the horse just stopped thanks to you, I still want to thank you!"
This was the first time Jiang Xueying had seen such a gentle and polite girl. She was exactly in line with her imagination of a lady from ancient times, so she could only smile.
"Miss, I'm glad you're alright. I still have things to do, so I'll leave first!"
Jiang Xueying turned around and was about to leave, but the horse followed her a few steps, causing the groom next to her to scold the horse harshly and hold the reins tightly in his hand.
"Wait a minute, girl!"
The woman called Jiang Xueying, looked at the horse that held its head high and refused to be restrained, and smiled apologetically.
"Look at this horse..."
The horse seemed to have set its sights on Jiang Xueying and didn't listen to the coachman's commands at all.
Jiang Xueying couldn't help but frown. It was the first time she encountered such a strange thing. She was a little stunned. Looking at the woman with pleading eyes, she could only bite the bullet and walk forward to touch the horse.
"Good horse, listen to your master and don't follow me, okay?"
Jiang Xueying's voice was very gentle and patient, as if she was not coaxing a horse but a child. However, this horse was an animal, how could it understand human words?
The horse panted a few times, seeming a little dissatisfied, and looked at Jiang Xueying with its eyes, as if it was a poor thing abandoned by its owner.
This horse seemed to be very intelligent, but why did it choose Jiang Xueying? This also surprised Jiang Xueying, after all, it was the first time she met this horse.
After they stood there for a while, quite a few people gathered around them. Some came to watch the fun, while others came to complain about their losses. The horse had gone crazy just now and damaged a lot of their things.
The woman was also shocked by the horse's abnormality. Her family had raised this horse for many years and it had never shown any abnormality. But today the horse was so concerned about a strange woman. What was going on?
Thinking of this, the woman began to carefully look at Jiang Xueying standing in front of her. Only then did she notice the abrupt spot on her face. It looked a little ugly on her face, but this ugly appearance did not arouse the slightest disgust, and instead gave people a sense of closeness.
Since the horse refused to move, Jiang Xueying could not be blamed. The woman could only give Jiang Xueying an apologetic smile.
"My family has raised this horse for many years and it has never behaved abnormally. I don't know what happened to it today!"
The horse ignored him and took a few more steps towards Jiang Xueying forcefully, almost getting close to her.
They couldn't leave, but they couldn't stay here forever. The woman whispered a few words in the maid's ear before turning back to look at Jiang Xueying.
"My home is nearby. If your business is not so urgent, why don't you come to my house and have a seat?"
Jiang Xueying was quite helpless. She had no choice but to compromise when she saw the horse following her and couldn't be stopped. After all, what happened today was too weird, and she also wanted to figure out why the horse was so attached to her.
"Okay!"
What the woman said was indeed true. Her home was just at the intersection of the street. The two talked about the horse along the way. It turned out that this horse was not an ordinary domestic horse, but a horse that the woman's father brought from outside the Great Wall. However, the horse had always been well-behaved, and this series of abnormal behaviors today was the first time it occurred.
This is even more strange!
Jiang Xueying was also a little confused. She checked herself from head to toe, but found only some change and a piece of pork. She couldn't understand what was so attractive about her that could attract a horse.
The two talked for a while but couldn't find the reason, so the woman introduced herself as Chen Simin.
After walking for about half an incense stick of time, we arrived at Chen's house.
Jiang Xueying paused as she looked at the vermilion gate in front of her. There were the words "Chen Mansion" painted on it.
Following Chen Simin into the Chen Mansion and taking the horse to the stable to settle down, Jiang Xueying touched her cuffs thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered that there was a Ganoderma lucidum hidden in her cuffs that she had found in the mountains two days ago.
Jiang Xueying calmly peeled a piece and stuffed it into the grass to feed the horse while feeding it.
The horse's spirit was really excited. It finished eating the hay stuffed with Ganoderma lucidum in just a few bites and whined with satisfaction.
Jiang Xueying patted its head and said with a smile, "Good horse, be obedient. Don't follow me anymore. I'll come to see you later, okay!"
The horse seemed to understand what she said, and it whinnied and took a step back.
Seeing this scene, Chen Simin opened her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Sister Jiang is really amazing."
"It's not that I'm good, maybe the horse is at home and feels at ease so it won't follow me anymore!"
Jiang Xueying smiled faintly, thinking that this was not her ability, but the work of Ganoderma lucidum.
Now that the horse problem was solved and it was getting late, Jiang Xueying said goodbye as she had to go back to cook for the children.
Seeing that Jiang Xueying was determined to leave, Chen Simin did not try to persuade her to stay and immediately sent someone to send Jiang Xueying back.
It was already evening when we got home. After dinner, my family went to bed early.
Soon, it was the end of the year - New Year's Eve. Jiang Xueying had been busy at home. No matter what, New Year's Eve was an important day, and the family should be together in harmony.
Moreover, this is her first New Year's Eve here. In the past, she spent New Year's Eve alone for many years. Now that she has two children, she naturally attaches great importance to it.
That day and night, the family sat at a round table with delicious dishes on it. Jiang Xueying had been busy all day for this New Year's Eve dinner. There was chicken, duck, fish and meat. This reunion dinner was all about the atmosphere.
Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin's little faces were also filled with smiles. After all, children naturally liked this kind of atmosphere, not to mention that this was the first time for the two of them to celebrate such a sumptuous festival.
Just when the family was getting ready to eat, they suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the yard. Jiang Xueying, who had just sat down, couldn't help but feel confused. Why would someone come to see her at this time?
When she opened the door, she found villagers carrying large and small bags at the door, looking at her with smiles on their faces, which made Jiang Xueying stunned.
"What are you doing?"
The leading villager smiled, and Jiang Xueying recognized that this was Brother Li from the village, whom she often greeted. He was a very honest man, and he was also the first person to come forward and follow her in planting potatoes.
"Sister, we are all here to thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have such a prosperous New Year."
After Brother Li finished speaking, the people behind him also echoed him.
"Yes, yes, Sister Zhou, this is the pancake I made today, try it while it's hot."
"Also, here are the candied haws and candied fruits I made. I thought the two kids might like them. Here."
