Jiang Ling was wearing a narrow-sleeved turquoise dress with a white round-necked short-sleeved top over the dress. The cuffs were embroidered with golden curly auspicious cloud patterns. She wore a turquoise hood on her head to protect herself from the wind and sand, and a veil on top. White gauze hung down to her cheeks.
She thought to herself that the women's riding clothes of the Daqian Dynasty were somewhat similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.
However, she still thought that women had to wear the same tight-fitting clothes as men or guards, such as a waisted and long-skirted jacket, when riding horses.
Jiang Ling was looking left and right through the gauze of the veil with curiosity. When she looked up, she found that Jiang Yi had stopped and was turning to look at her.
"Brother?" She lifted the veil and saw Jiang Yi's dark face.
Jiang Yi said in a dissatisfied tone, "I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to learn horse riding. It turns out it was for him."
Following Jiang Yi's gaze, Jiang Ling tilted her head and saw Zhou Jing'an.
The black corset accentuated his figure perfectly. His hair was tied up and fixed with a jade crown, and he was still very conspicuous even when standing in the crowd.
A gentleman of elegance, unparalleled in the world.
Jiang Ling blinked her eyes and looked at her brother, whose face was getting darker and darker, with an innocent face: "I didn't know he was here."
Jiang Yi: ...it's up to you whether I believe it or not.
Seeing his brother turning around and about to leave, Jiang Ling hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother, I really came here to learn horse riding, please don't leave."
"I've figured it out. People avoid me like the plague, so why should I get close to them?" Jiang Ling said with grievance, but her eyes were firm.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Really?"
Didn’t she declare that she would not marry anyone but him?
"Yes, really." Jiang Ling nodded solemnly.
Seeing her serious expression, Jiang Yi felt relieved and led her to continue walking inside.
This is a piece of land specially set aside by the royal family for the construction of a horse farm and an archery training ground. The purpose is to encourage the descendants of court ministers to not only care about wealth and glory, but also to strengthen their physique and improve their martial arts. Therefore, as long as they are the descendants of officials, regardless of their status, they can come to practice at any time.
Two years ago, when Jiang Yi was eighteen years old, he participated in the first military imperial examination held by the Daqian Dynasty. It was a grand event aimed at selecting talented people with outstanding martial arts skills to fill the army.
At that time, both the children of rich and poor families participated in the competition. Jiang Yi won the first place with a slight advantage after going through layers of selection, and was personally named the martial arts champion by the emperor.
At that time, he received the imperial edict and became the seventh-rank Yihui deputy captain. Five days later, he followed the army to southern Xinjiang to quell the rebellion. Jiang Lianshan also went with him.
He had just returned to Beijing half a year ago. He was shot in the left leg and had several sword wounds on his body. After making military achievements, he was promoted to the sixth rank Zhenwei deputy captain.
He was an official appointed by the imperial court and had a rank, so these young men needed to pay their respects to him.
Jiang Yi waved his hand to let them stand up, "Everyone, get up."
He set his sights on Zhou Jingan in the middle.
He does have a good-looking face, but that is not worthy of his sister.
Jiang Ling followed him obediently, dodged when they saluted, and then greeted them again.
"Greetings, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Huang, Mr. Li and Mr. Lin." Her voice was pleasant, and only her outline could be vaguely seen through the gauze hanging from the veil, making people want to find out more.
These people had all heard that Jiang Ling was almost killed by a gangster, and when they saw her, they all expressed their concern for her.
Jiang Ling stood obediently beside Jiang Yi, answering whatever they asked and thanking them for their concern, without saying a word the whole time.
Naturally, I didn’t feel anything special towards Zhou Jing’an.
Treat him no differently than anyone else.
This surprised Jiang Yi and the others, but they didn't show it.
Jiang Yi felt annoyed when he heard these boys asking their sister questions.
Are they coveting Ling'er?
Humph, none of them is worthy of his sister.
"Let's go, don't you want to learn how to ride a horse?" He finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up to stop their conversation.
Jiang Ling nodded, said goodbye to them, and obediently followed Jiang Yi to the stable to pick a horse.
Zhou Jing'an glanced at her when she appeared, but out of politeness he didn't stare at her again. However, the people around him were so concerned about her that he couldn't say anything, so he just listened quietly.
Hearing her behave appropriately, calmly and politely, she was indeed much calmer than before.
Young Master Huang looked at Jiang Ling's back and wondered, "Miss Jiang has changed a lot after this incident." The key point is... he looked at Zhou Jing'an, "She's not as clingy to Brother Zhou as before."
Several others echoed in agreement. Zhou Jing'an raised his eyes to look at the person walking away. Her turquoise dress was graceful and flowing, like a fluttering butterfly that gently embellished the entire old-fashioned and monotonous horse farm, like a gust of summer breeze in this autumn day.
"Aren't we going archery? Let's go." Zhou Jing'an didn't want them to talk about Jiang Ling anymore, so he changed the subject and turned to go to the archery range first.
-
Jiang Ling actually knows how to ride a horse, thanks to her identity as an actor in her previous life.
She is not a professional actor, and her acting skills rely entirely on her understanding and experience. She basically appears in some low-cost small web dramas.
Because of his low status, when there were no stunt doubles available for horse riding and fighting scenes, he had to do them himself.
So she knows a little bit about horse riding, but only enough to take a walk or a few slow laps.
Jiang Ling looked at the tall and strong horses in the stable and felt a little scared.
She wasn't afraid at first. Although she wasn't very interested in riding horses, she wasn't afraid.
It was all because of an unexpected incident that occurred while filming an ancient idol web drama in the previous life.
An actor in the same group with her was filming a horse riding scene when the horse suddenly got frightened and she fell off. Her ankle was stepped on by the horse's hoof. She was immediately sent to the hospital and was told that her ankle was fractured.
