Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Learning to Ride a Horse

It was already late at night when we returned to Zhuge Mansion, the guard at the gate saw Chu Qiao, he was a little surprised, knowing that this is Qingshanyuan's favored servant, he didn't make too much trouble, and gave the child a lantern for her to illuminate . The Zhuge Mansion at night looked a bit cold, without the noise and bustle of the day, it was as quiet as a dark cage, occasionally there were a few jackdaws, but they were quickly shot down by the arrow slaves who walked through the Yang with a hundred steps . When the masters are sleeping peacefully, no noise is allowed, even if the offenders are only some animals.

When passing by the high wall outside the Lanshan Courtyard, Chu Qiao heard a burst of suppressed crying, it seemed that a little slave girl who had made a mistake was beaten and hid under the opposite wall and wept. The child's footsteps were a little stunned for a moment, the moon hung in the sky big, pale and round, casting her small shadow on the red wall, she looked so slender and slender, as if she was herself in those years. With a tall and tall figure, the child's eyes were a little confused, and he stretched out his hand unconsciously, approaching little by little, but his fingertips only touched a piece of ice cold.

There was a sudden burst of sadness in my heart. Perhaps, there will always be such a momentary trance, thinking that everything is just a big dream. As long as I wake up from the dream, everything will never happen.Those fallen corpses, those flowing blood, and those sad tears... The cry of the child in the opposite wall continued, but she was too small to climb over this wall. If she was cold, how could she warm others?Just like those buried corpses on the snow field, her heartache is of no avail. Unexpectedly, she pushed open the gate of Qingshan Courtyard, Chu Qiao was a little surprised, she had planned to spend the night in the firewood house, but she didn't expect the courtyard to be locked so late.Zhuge Yue is a person who is very good at keeping in good health. When he doesn't go to the classroom, he will cultivate flowers and plant orchids in the courtyard, drink tea and burn incense. He also has high requirements for sleep, unlike other young masters in the mansion, who are obsessed with women. color, all night long.

As soon as she stepped into the yard carefully, a lantern quickly approached, Huan'er hurriedly grabbed Chu Qiao's hand, and lowered her voice, shouting: "Oh, my little ancestor, where did you go? I have been waiting for you It's night." Chu Qiao stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, and said, "My horse was startled, and I just came back. Where is the young master? Why is it so late that it hasn't been locked yet?" "You're lucky." Huan'er curled her lips and said with a smile: "The young master was reading in the room. He read it for most of the night and didn't order to lock it or sleep. That's why I dare to wait for you here." Woolen cloth."

Chu Qiao nodded and was about to go to Zhuge Yue's room. Huan'er hurriedly grabbed her and said, "The young master didn't look very good when he came back. I don't know who made him angry. It's so late. Let’s talk about it tomorrow, the left and right masters didn’t tell you to go back to the pavilion, you go and rest first, I’ll tell the young master.” Chu Qiao nodded and said, "That's fine." She turned around and walked towards her room. Huan'er hurriedly ran into the pavilion, said a few words and left the door, Chu Qiao is the big maid in the pavilion, the room is next to the main courtyard, the child just walked to the door, before opening the door, she saw behind her The lights in the room flickered, and suddenly plunged into darkness.

Chu Qiao was slightly taken aback, put her hand on the door, half turned her head to look in the direction of Zhuge Yue's room, and stepped into the door after a long time. The light in the hut was turned on and off, and the whole Qingshanyuan was quiet. The next morning, I went to see Zhuge Yue, but the young and seasoned Fourth Young Master was not in the room. Chu Qiao lost her little red horse and needed to explain to him. She was about to go out to ask someone, but she saw Zhuge Yue in black. In the golden martial robe, he walked into the courtyard with a long sword in his arms, followed by a entourage, with a neat figure, a look that Chu Qiao had never seen before.Zhu Cheng bent over, with a cloak on his arm, and trotted behind.

Huan'er and other maidservants rushed forward to bring tea and water for Zhuge Yue, burn incense and wipe his hands, and prepare things for bathing. Chu Qiao retreated to the side of the gate, and seeing Zhuge Yue sitting down, she stepped forward and said, "Fourth Young Master, I lost my little red horse." "En." Zhuge Yue snorted softly as a promise, took Huan'er's tea, took a sip, and then said to the servants at the side: "Go and get two pots of Mo Lan from Mu's House yesterday, The censer has been removed, and it smells pungent." The servant quickly agreed, and hurriedly retreated.Chu Qiao stood where she was, and saw that Zhuge Yue had no intention of punishing her, so she decided not to talk to her anymore, and just as she thought about it, she walked out quietly, when Zhuge Yue put down the tea bowl, pointed at her and said, "Xing'er, you Wait a while."

Chu Qiao thumped in her heart, secretly thinking that the one who should come is still here, but she heard Zhuge Yue say: "You will go down with Zhu Cheng later, and find a capable guard who will teach you how to ride a horse." "Ah?" Chu Qiao and Zhu Cheng were stunned, and they both called out at the same time. Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he said in a low voice impatiently, "What? Is there any problem?" "No problem, no problem," Zhu Cheng was seventeen this year, and he had been Zhuge Yue's personal entourage since he was a child. Naturally, he knew the master's uncompromising personality, so he quickly said flatteringly, "I will take Miss Xing'er here."

Zhuge Yue raised his head in doubt, frowned and looked at Zhu Cheng: "Xing'er is just eight years old, why isn't she a girl?" "That's right, this slave is bringing Xing'er... Xing'er..." Zhu Cheng, who was always clever on weekdays, couldn't find the words to address the child for a while, and he was tongue-tied for a long time, but he still couldn't express his words. Zhuge Yue waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Come on, get off the ground, straighten your back and walk again, don't let outsiders think that our servants in Qingshanyuan are all hunchbacks."

"Yes Yes." Chu Qiao stood on the spot, she was petite, wearing a light yellow skirt with a fox fur waistcoat on top, she looked pink and cute.Seeing this, he bowed to Zhuge Yue and said in a soft voice, "Xing'er thank you Fourth Young Master." Zhuge Yue didn't raise his head, he just waved his hand lightly. Chu Qiao and Zhu Cheng exited the pavilion, Zhu Cheng looked suspiciously at the child, saw Chu Qiao looked up at him, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Miss Xing'er, let's go?" Chu Qiao smiled, ignored him, and left Qingshanyuan first.

"Miss Xing'er, this is the person I chose for you. They are all good horse riders. You can choose one of them." Chu Qiao, Zhu Cheng and the others stood at the foot of Paoma Mountain. The eight-year-old child raised his head slightly and looked at the group of burly men standing in front of him. At the moment, the nursing homes are all smiling and respectful. People who don't know will think how kind they are usually. The child took small steps and walked in front of the men one by one. Suddenly, the child's eyes lit up, and he glanced at it meaningfully. With a faint smile on his mouth, he pointed to one of the flustered big men, and said with a light smile. : "I want him."
