"Da da da."
The sound of iron hooves stepping on stone slabs was heard, and the people in front of the steward's mansion turned around to look, because the sound of the hooves was too heavy.
Two young men in plain clothes walked in front, followed by a group of short-haired Pakistani soldiers leading a group of extremely strong and tall horses. Well, these horses were really tall and big, and could be called tall horses in the true sense of the word.
Many children from aristocratic families couldn't help but shudder when they saw one of the young men, and they all muttered in their hearts: Why did this guy come back? He should be more restrained in the future.
Wang Zhen walked straight towards the door of the chief steward's house without looking sideways. Chen Zheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the second senior brother also has the function of cleaning the streets."
"The people were attracted by the big animals, not by me."
"Second Brother, you are too modest. The people of Chang'an have seen many rare things, so they are not surprised to this extent. Especially those children of aristocratic families, most of their eyes are on you, Second Brother."
"Okay, I'm glad you're back. I knew you were coming back today, so I've been waiting at the gate. Come in quickly. The third brother is chatting with the chief steward in the courtyard. By the way, have you had lunch?"

"Hurry, hurry."
Xiao Yuehua rode on a big horse and shouted, "Mr. Chen, please lead the big horse to the West Inner Courtyard. I want to go to the Taiji Palace and look for Li Dan and the others."
Chen Fengning nodded.
Chen Fengning explained with a smile: "In fact, the place where we live only occupies a corner. The rest of the place is occupied by various workshops. In particular, the banknote workshop occupies a small half of the Fifth Courtyard. The chief steward is still the same as before, doing everything himself."
Chen Fengning introduced: "This is your second senior brother who just returned from the Western Regions."
After Xiao Yuehua got on the big horse, she kicked it a few times with her heels, but it didn't work at all. She had to increase her strength and make some sounds at the same time, but the horse still didn't respond, which made Xiao Yuehua a little annoyed.
I brought them back just for the sake of novelty. Xiao Yuehua and His Majesty will probably like them. This one will stay in the Grand Steward's Mansion, and Mr. Chen can bring the rest to His Majesty later. They will be considered as my gifts to His Majesty."
"Wow, what a big horse."
Wang Zhen nodded and took Chen Zheng into the yard.
Xiao Yuehua, who had already eaten and drunk her fill and was disgusted by the boring conversation between her father and third senior brother, was pulling Wang Ping'an out of the courtyard, wanting to stroll around the Fifth Courtyard and wait for her two nephews to come back, perhaps to rob them of some good stuff.
Chen Fengning smiled and said, "If Ping An wants to sit on it, I will carry you up."
"Second Senior Brother is well, Senior Brother Chen Zheng is well."
"Haha, it's okay, we brothers will just be closer in the future."
Wang Zhen untied the reins, looked at Chen Zheng, and then said to Xiao Yuehua, "This kind of horse is thick-skinned and stupid. You are too weak to drive it. Someone needs to lead it."
How could Chen Zheng dare to agree? But he didn't want to offend Xiao Yuehua, so he quickly handed the reins to Wang Zhen.
Xiao Yuehua was a little dumbfounded. Seeing Wang Zhen and Chen Zheng both nodded in confirmation, she immediately curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "What's the point of growing so big for nothing? Are you going to kill it for meat? Horse meat isn't very tasty."
Then Xiao Yuehua asked Wang Pingan again: "Brother, do you want to come up?"
Chen Fengning smiled, looked at the big horse Wang Zhen was leading and asked, "I've never seen or heard of such a big horse before. Where did you find so many?"
Xiao Yuehua didn't struggle when Wang Zhen held her. She just pushed Wang Zhen's shoulder with one hand, looked at him sideways and asked, "Who are you?"
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "It is true that it cannot run fast, so it is not suitable for the battlefield. However, it is very strong and has good endurance, so it is a very good draft horse. However, it eats too much, so it is not cost-effective to keep such a big horse.
"is that so?"
Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "It was given by the Persians."
After Chen Zheng entered the mansion, he looked around and asked, "Which courtyard does the gentleman live in?"
"Hahaha."
"Brother Chen Zheng, please give me the reins. I want to ride the big horse myself."
Wang Zhen said this as he walked towards Chen Fengning who had just walked out of the mansion.
Wang Zhen led a big horse and followed Chen Fengning into the mansion with Chen Zheng. Naturally, someone would make arrangements for the rest of the people.
Wang Pingan smiled embarrassedly, "I do remember Senior Brother Dazhen, but I forgot what you looked like."
Wang Ping'an looked at Chen Fengning and Chen Zheng with an inquiring look. Wang Ping'an still had an impression of Chen Zheng. After all, they had not seen each other for only three years.
Chen Fengning asked with concern. Chen Fengning had always been particularly nice to Wang Zhen, a boy who had entered the palace since childhood.
Chen Fengning nodded and stopped asking about its origins. Instead, he asked, "This horse is too big and strong. It shouldn't be able to run too fast, right?"
Chen Zheng nodded, "Junior brother, I'm fine."
Wang Zhen laughed and lifted Xiao Yuehua up and placed her on the big horse's back.
"Mr. Chen is well."
"Brother Zhen." Xiao Yuehua looked at Chen Fengning who was smiling, and immediately called him sweetly.
I don’t know whether Li Zhixi likes it or not, but Xiao Yuehua definitely likes it.
Chen Fengning came over cheerfully, holding the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "Let me hold it, you go in and talk to the steward first."
After a cry of surprise, Xiao Yuehua rushed over with Wang Pingan. Wang Zhen handed the reins to Chen Zheng, took two steps forward and picked up Xiao Yuehua, saying with a smile: "Don't startle the horse. It will scare the horse and it will be very dangerous."
Wang Zhen said with a smile, "Call me Brother Zhen and I'll carry you on the horse's back."
"Don't bother with them, they're just a bunch of cowards."
Wang Ping'an was very tempted. After all, such a big horse was quite rare. It would definitely feel great to ride it for a while and show off. But he was a little embarrassed, so he looked at Chen Fengning.
Wang Zhen touched Wang Ping'an's head and said with a smile, "It's been more than seven years since we last met. Ping'an has grown up so much. I left Yuzhou earlier than the third brother. It's normal that you don't recognize me."
Wang Zhen showed a smile on his face, but his voice was full of sighs, "Sir, he is very lonely. Doing more trivial things can help him free his mind."
"Yeah." Wang Ping'an nodded happily.
Chen Fengning lifted Wang Pingan up, and with Xiao Yuehua's help, Wang Pingan sat behind Xiao Yuehua.
After Wang Pingan sat down, he looked around and said in surprise, "It's so high, much higher than the average horseback."
Chen Fengning smiled and said, "Sit tight, I'll lead you by the hand."
Upon hearing this, the brother and sister quickly grabbed the saddle. Such a high distance was still a little scary. Once the horse started moving, the feeling of sitting on the horse's back became more exciting and novel.
