There is a long distance from the capital to the paddock, and they have to stay on the road for a long time.
Since Xu Mei and Xu Yue came to the capital from Suizhou, firstly, they didn’t have many friends, and secondly, they couldn’t go out often because they hadn’t left the cabinet. It was hard for them to come out in a fair manner. They were like little ducks letting the wind go, cheering and jumping, not at all quiet. not come down.
There are many officials and ladies accompanying them, and the entire official road is full of convoys. Xu Mei quietly opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, very happy.
And once Xu Yue finds out that he secretly opened the curtain, she will severely pull Xu Mei's hand off and warn: "Brother—"
Xu Mei didn't care, she pouted at Xu Yue, and continued to do it after a while.
They had to have a meal on the way, and they could reach the paddock at night. After lunch, Xu Mei couldn't stay in her carriage any longer, and insisted on climbing into Du Siyin's carriage.
Xu Ting only sat in the carriage with Du Siyin for a while, and then she went out to ride a horse, which was convenient for Xu Mei and Xu Yue.
"Why didn't Jing'er come with you?" Du Siyin grabbed two handfuls of nuts from the small compartment in the carriage and gave them to Xu Mei and Xu Yue respectively.
"I don't want to call him!" Xu Mei wanted to say that, but was lightly poked by Xu Yue's elbow, and reluctantly shut up.
"Brother Jing'er was a little dizzy, resting in the carriage, so he didn't come with us."
"Oh, then when you go back later, bring some lime peel and sour peach meat to Jing'er, it's disgusting." Du Siyin laughed and didn't think much about it.
Du Siyin liked to eat these things, and Xu Ting also prepared a lot, but Xu Mei and the others didn't have so many snacks in their carriage.
Each courtyard of the Prince's Mansion at the edge of the town has its own quota. Le Yun and Ye Ping'er, one from a courtesan background, and the other a concubine, have no extra income at all except for the quota. Xu Mei and Xu Yue's monthly money was given by their parents, not to mention not much.
Unlike Xu Ting, who has his own private property, otherwise the stipulations Han Zhi gave her would not be enough for the people she raised in Qingfengyuan.
Du Siyin was in charge of Qingfengyuan's accounts, and sometimes he was surprised that Xu Ting had so much money.
The weather in September is already cold, and the winter in the capital is not inferior to the bitter cold in Suizhou. Xu Mei said sadly, "I don't know if there are wolves and foxes with good coats in the paddock, otherwise there will be no good fur clothes this year. .”
When he was in Suizhou, in order to prevent wild animals from attacking the livestock of the border residents in winter, Xu Ting would go to the grassland to hunt wolves, foxes, wild dogs, etc. once a year, and at the same time, to find out what happened in Dawan.
And the furs brought back from the hunting were distributed to the men in the family. Every time Xu Ting brought back top-quality furs, this year from Suizhou to the capital, the mansion had actually brought in a batch of furs, but compared with the previous ones, Xu Ting's Mae didn't like it at all.
He might as well wear last year's.
"Go and beg your sister, let her give you some good skins." Du Siyin laughed.
Xu Yue immediately said, "My sister must be hunting for my brother-in-law. My brother and I don't want to please my sister."
There was a gentle smile on Du Siyin's face, "Then you two come to my brother-in-law to choose. If you choose well, your sister has no objection."
Xu Mei didn't have an exquisite mind like Xu Yue at all, and immediately said happily: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Listening to the laughter in the back room, the Shuqin in the front room was making tea while smiling at the corner of his mouth, the young master was pleasing the lord in the palace near the town, and the juniors respected and admired him, it was really great.
Xu Jing paid close attention to Xu Ting all the time. He saw Xu Ting get out of the carriage to ride a horse, and when Xu Mei and Xu Yue went to Du Siyin's carriage, biting his lip, he could no longer hold back the urge to move in his heart.
Xu Ting personally taught Du Siyin how to ride a horse, and the entire town's palace knew that Han Zhi was happy to see it succeed, which meant that the two had a good relationship, and he would soon be able to hold his granddaughter.
In the eyes of the servants, it became a proof that the young master was favored, and their attitude towards Du Siyin was even more respectful for this.
Most of the sons of border military generals can ride horses, and the rules in Suizhou are not as many as those in the capital, and the sons can even ride horses.
But Xu Jing, Xu Yue, and the others don't know how to ride horses and martial arts. It is the married sons of Han Zhi who are born.
As for Xu Jing and Xu Yue, Xu Xun actually didn't pay much attention to them.
If he asked his sister to say that he wanted to ride a horse, he was an innocent man and he must not be taken by the guards, so my sister would take him by herself.
Will that sister hold him...
Xu Jing immediately told the servant to go to Xu Ting, and then waited excitedly and nervously in the carriage.
When he thought that Du Siyin would see Xu Ting take him on a horse ride, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, like countless ants crawling.
Xu Jing's personal servant ran up to Xu Ting in small steps, and whispered with a low eyebrow, "My daughter, the young master said he wanted to ride a horse."
Xu Ting was condescending, and only saw a black head and a point of chin. Looking at the clothes, she couldn't tell whether it was Shuqin or Cicada. After all, she didn't remember how they liked to dress up.
So Xu Ting rode directly to the side of Du Siyin's carriage and knocked on the window.
"Changning?"
"Come to the shaft of the carriage."
Du Siyin didn't know why, but obediently put on a veil, got out of the carriage and walked to the shaft seat of the carriage.
Xu Ting: "Give me your hand."
Du Siyin stretched out his hand, and Xu Ting directly carried Du Siyin onto the horse's back and sat in his arms.
The startled Du Siyin was held in Xu Ting's arms, and he quickly recovered. He couldn't help but smile, and his mood was sweet.
It was cool in late autumn, so Xu Ting tied a cloak, and after carrying Du Siyin onto the horse, Xu Ting wrapped him in the cloak.
Du Siyin hid in Xu Ting's arms, only showing a happy and beautiful face.
"Has Siyin ever gone out of town to play?"
Du Siyin shook his head, "My mother doesn't like me, she never came out."
Xu Ting kissed Du Siyin's face sideways, with affection in his eyes, Xu Ting hadn't noticed it yet, and before he knew it, Du Siyin's words could touch her softest feelings.
"The scenery is declining in autumn, and there are no maple leaves planted on both sides of the official road. Next summer, I will take you out to see it."
Xu Jing, who had been waiting for a long time, finally waited for the waiter to come back, and immediately asked, "Where's sister?"
The little waiter faltered, didn't know how to answer, and was very afraid.
Although Xu Jing is not good at beating down people, his method of punishing people is even more terrifying than beating boards.
"My daughter, my daughter... I took the young master to ride a horse." The little servant said desperately.
"What! Why? Why is this happening?"
"I don't know, maybe, maybe Shi Nu didn't recognize who the little one was."
"waste!"
Xu Jing suddenly pinched her little waiter hard, and the little waiter covered her arm with tears streaming down her face.
Lifting the curtain, Xu Jing stared at the figure in front of the team. He couldn't see Du Siyin who was being hugged by Xu Ting, but he could imagine the scene, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
Miraculously, there was no excess anger on Xu Jing's face, only a pair of deep eyes.
