Chapter 44 Riding a Donkey and Driving a Horse
"Look at me, look at me, I told you not to buy clothes and jewelry for those two girls all day long, but you refused to listen!
We are all peasants from the countryside, why would we dress up our children so nicely? If someone looks at us again, you will cry your heart out!"
Old Wang didn't understand the upbringing of the ladies from wealthy families. She was just using her own simple life experience to teach her daughter-in-law how to manage the household.
Xu nodded in agreement, as docile as she had been for years. The old lady grumbled at her daughter-in-law while slowly rolling up her sleeves.
On his skinny wrists hung a pair of red gold bracelets made of fine material, which looked quite heavy.
"I knew right away that you were out of money. You buy so many clothes for your children every day. When will they ever wear them all?
Now I can’t even afford to buy me a tank. If this gets out, will you say it’s shabby?
As the old saying goes, life should not be calculated, but it should be lived frugally. You young wives are very generous, here you go!
She took off a big gold bracelet and gave it to her daughter-in-law, and the old lady sobbed with heartache.
"Let me make a deal with you first. I'll just lend it to you for emergency use. If you have more in the future, remember to return it to me.
This is what the Prince of Huai said last time, that he was giving this specifically to me, his old godmother, as a filial piety, but my coffin is already here!"
"Mom, I have money."
Xu blinked to hide the emotion in her eyes, smiled and moved closer to her mother-in-law, and put the bracelet back on her.
This is why I still respect my mother-in-law even though she always likes to cause trouble. It's undeniable that my mother-in-law is a confused mother-in-law, but she is also a loving mother-in-law. Even if there are a thousand faults, as long as she cares about her children, she is still a qualified ancestor.
Jiang Wan, who was sent away by his mother, got on the carriage with his younger brother and sister in a graceful and elegant manner, and asked the Jiang family guards to ride on tall horses, uh, and donkeys, and the group headed straight to the outskirts of the city.
After leaving the city, there were not many people on the road, so Jiang Wan jumped off the carriage.
"Second brother, third brother, come down."
"Sister, haven't we arrived yet?"
After Jiang Han got off the car, he turned his head and looked around, and was scolded by Jiang Yaozu who got off the car right after him.
"Second sister, are you stupid? Big sister means that we should ride horses and travel quickly."
"You tell me, can't I see it myself? Jiang Lao San, you've been getting cocky lately, you know that? Do you want to be punished by Big Sister again?"
"Humph, a fox relying on the tiger's might!"
Jiang Yaozu turned around angrily and walked towards his beloved horse. He snorted again when he passed by his elder sister.
"Humph, you're biased!"
Then he ran to the guard Ma Fei's side very quickly, and with the help of the other party, he climbed onto the horse very skillfully, pulling the reins and shaking them hard.
"drive!"
He rode ahead and galloped away.
Anyway, there are not many people on the road after leaving the city, so you can rein in your horse and run freely.
Ma Fei also hurriedly spurred his horse to chase after him. When they left the house, the eldest lady had specifically instructed him to keep an eye on the young master today.
Someone was watching the third brother, so Jiang Wan didn't feel too worried and turned to look at the second brother.
"What are you looking at? Where's your stubborn ass? Why don't you pull it over here?"
"It's Zhuifeng!"
Jiang Han retorted angrily, ran to the guard behind the carriage, took his mount, and dragged it forward a few steps.
"Chasing the wind, chasing the wind, it's good to chase the wind, let's go quickly! Da Huang has already run away, what if Ruhua leaves us behind?
Really, please move your hooves quickly, or my eldest sister will come over and beat you! Let’s go, please, so I can chase the wind...”
The guard Wang Bao who drove the carriage out saw that the second lady had said all kinds of good and bad things but still failed to smooth the donkey's hair. He was so anxious that he felt a little anxious.
Thinking that he could help if things really got out of hand, he took a step forward when he was grabbed by another guard.
"What do you want to do?"
Cheng Zhuo stared at him expressionlessly, and Wang Bao shuddered at the sight of this boy.
"I'm going to help the Second Miss. What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
"How do you want to help? Don't forget what the eldest lady told you before we left. Our main task today is to protect the second young lady and the young master."
"I know, why would you bother with that? Just wait and see!"
Wang Bao bent down and pulled out the artifact he had prepared long ago from the beam under the carriage, then ran to the young master to show his courtesy.
"Second Miss, please try this."
"What?"
"nice one!"
Yes, carrots are indeed a good thing for donkeys. Jiang Han, who finally managed to sit on Zhuifeng's back and stroll forward, deeply agreed with this point of view.
A carrot was hanging on a stick, swaying and tempting the stubborn donkey to run forward with a "hhhhhhh".
After Jiang Wan saw it, he praised it.
"Wow, you have a lot of ideas."
Jiang Han blushed in embarrassment.
The two sisters walked one after the other, with the guards following not far behind in a carriage.
Jiang Wan had successfully overcome his motion sickness over the past few months and had become quite good at horseback riding. So even though he was riding a tall, dark green horse, he was still able to sit firmly on its back while it was running.
This horse has a very unpleasant name, and it is not a rare and valuable horse. It is just an ordinary-looking mixed-breed horse.
But he had been a war horse, and was quite human.
It had been Jiang Huailiang's mount, and had experienced many life-and-death battles with its master. Later, it sustained some injuries to its legs and feet, so Jiang Huailiang kept it in the rear to care for it, and it gradually became a rather temperamental horse.
If Jiang Wan hadn't persuaded him with force, there was no way this guy would be willing to go back to work, let alone lose his good name. You said it's a stallion, why is it called Ruhua?
The depressed horse kept on moving forward. Although it knew it couldn't get rid of the little trouble on its back, at least it felt a little better when running.
"I'm back again! Big Yellow, run! Go!"
Jiang Yaozu strolled to his destination and then returned the same way, mainly because he wanted to show off his amazing horsemanship in front of his sisters.
It is probably true that the child resembles his father. This child has studied many different subjects, but he is very good at riding, shooting and martial arts.
After several months of training, Jiang Lao San finally realized that he was quite strong. Although he couldn't compare to his eldest sister, he was very proud compared to the useless Jiang Lao Er!
"Second sister, you're not good at riding horses, but you're quite good at riding donkeys. I just wonder if Master Zhao would be willing to let you bring carrots to fish for donkeys at the horse farm during the competition at the end of the month? Hahahahaha..."
"Third brother, go take a walk on your own!"
"Hmph, the most biased eldest sister, the most biased towards Jiang Lao Er! Da Huang, let's go, go!"
Jiang Lao San, who was courting death, saw that the eldest sister seemed to be chasing him, so he was so scared that he turned his horse's head and ran away.
Jiang Han was shouting anxiously from behind.
"Sister, wait for me! Zhuifeng Zhuifeng, hurry up, Ruhua and Dahuang have abandoned us!"
