"Well..." Li Yuan looked thoughtful.
"That means you're special!" she added.
Li Yuan thought about it and nodded. "Okay, I don't blame you anymore." He turned his head and said to Lan Lan, and Lan Lan seemed to understand what Li Yuan meant, and even licked his face with a horse's mouth.
Mu Huanqing finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Lan Lan, stop bullying Li Yuan."
She stepped forward and touched Lan Lan's horse's head. Lan Lan also used the horse's face to rub her on her body. She was very enthusiastic and made her laugh.
Suddenly, Lan Lan raised the horse's face and looked up at the tree cautiously, staring straight at the man sitting there, its nose gasping and its hooves kicking back and forth.
"Lanlan, what's wrong?" Mu Huanqing touched Lanlan strangely and noticed its unusual agitation.
He Guan, who was sitting on the branch, also raised his eyebrows and looked at the mare unexpectedly.
"Yo? Can you see my son?"
He Guan flew over with interest, and as soon as he approached, Lan Lan neighed louder and kept stepping on her hoofs, seemingly uneasy about the arrival of this strange visitor.
Mu Huanqing was immediately alert and turned to look at Li Yuan. "Go and see if there are any suspicious people around here, or snakes, rats, and insects that are not good for horses."
Li Yuan nodded, jumped, and immediately went to the vicinity to investigate one by one, while Mu Huanqing tried to appease Lanlan.
"Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here."
But how do they know that what the horse sees is someone they can't see with the naked eye.
He Guan rubbed his chin and looked at the horse carefully. Seeing the defensiveness and fear in his eyes, he understood that the horse had spirituality. He was probably overwhelmed by the demonic aura on him, so he was restless.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to your master, I'm here to protect her." He restrained the demonic energy on his body, and his figure fluttered to the top of the tree, pulling away.
Only then did Lan Lan slowly calm down, no longer restless, as if to understand that he was not malicious.
Li Yuan also came back at this time, shook his head to the master, and found no suspicious person, and Ma'er was already at this time.
After calming down and no longer being as restless as Shi Cai, and even continuing to grind with her, Mu Huanqing felt relieved.
She led Lan Lan out of the stable, got on the horse neatly, and rode to visit her manor.
After her rectification and management, Zhuangzi, which was indifferent at the beginning, is now prosperous. Zhuangzi is surrounded by a large expanse of land. After planning, it has become an orderly manor.
In addition to the cattle and sheep raised, there is also a pond for livestock to drink water, and many fish are raised in the pond. There are also workshops, where craftsmen specialize in making farm tools, pottery, lacquerware and other daily utensils? In addition, there are breweries and textile workshops. There are weavers in the textile workshops to supply the weaving, dyeing and printing needed in the manor. Give it to the embroidery maid to embroider the pattern.
As for the vegetable garden, vegetables suitable for growing in the northern region are planted, and there are short fences around it to prevent livestock from trampling on it. Then there is Mu Huanqing's favorite stable, where there are special horse servants to take care of the horses.
Mu Huanqing rode Lan Lan out of Zhuangzi and ran to the prairie. Lan Lan seemed to be infected with the master's good mood, and immediately ran away.
Mu Huanqing and Lan Lan had long since developed a tacit understanding. She lowered her body and stayed close to the horse's back, so that Lan Lan could run faster and more easily.
She took Lan Lan to run against the wind on the prairie, and finally came to a lakeside, where the grass was particularly fresh. When Lan Lan lowered her head to graze, she lay beside her with her hands behind her head and her eyes closed. Feel the vastness and tranquility of the blue sky and white clouds, which is extraordinarily pleasant.
However, she just lay down for less than a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes and sat up quickly.
There was the sound of horse hooves on the ground, she turned her head to look at the source of the sound, and she saw a figure riding a horse, quickly approaching her.
"Miss!" the visitor shouted loudly.
"Ho Chi?"
Mu Huanqing recognized that the man running on horseback was one of her capable men. Hao Qi is also a horse idiot. She was a horse servant when she lived in the north before she got married. After she came to Zhuangzi, Hao Qi came to follow her.
Hao Qi was supposed to help her take care of the horse in Ma Zhuang, but when she suddenly came to the manor, something must have happened. She ran forward immediately, and when Hao Qi saw the eldest lady, he immediately pulled up the reins, and before the horse stopped, he jumped off the horse neatly.
"Miss, it's not good, our horse has been robbed!"
Mu Huanqing listened, and his face was solemn. "What's going on? Explain the cause and effect of what happened."
Mu Huanqing listened to Hao Qi's narration, and whistled to call Lan Lan to come over. She jumped and rode on Lan Lan who was running. Lan Lan's hooves did not stop, and when the master sat up, she immediately galloped.
The two horses rushed back to the manor like arrows one after the other. Once they returned to Zhuangzi, Mu Huanqing immediately explained the matter to the housekeeper. At this time, Li Yuan and Xinyu, who heard the wind, also rushed over, and Mu Dianqing ordered them both. People get dressed up and go with her to Mazhuang.
At this time, Ji Momo also hurried over with Doudou who had just finished bathing. Seeing her daughter, Mu Huanqing went up to kiss her, touched her face and said, "Be good, Doudou, mother is going out these days. One trip, you stay well and wait for your mother to come back, okay?"
Although Doudou is only three years old, he is a very cute and well-behaved child. She nodded, and followed her mother's example, kissing her mother's cheek.
"Doudou will be good, so must my mother!" The little hand also touched the mother's face.
She followed suit and melted the hearts of all adults. Mu Huanqing is always amused by her daughter's considerate behavior. She estimates that it will take two or three days to deal with the horses this time. In order to reassure her daughter, she will discuss with her well and let her understand My mother is not at home, and she is also thinking about her.
After comforting her daughter, she raised her head and said to Ji Momo, "Doudou will trouble you."
"Master Qing, rest assured, the old man will take good care of the young lady."
Mu Huanqing smiled and nodded. Ji Momo has completely regarded her as the only master, and she sees her love and sympathy for Doudou in her eyes. In the four years since she was pregnant and gave birth to Doudou, thanks to Mammy Ji's experience, she took care of everything and helped her with Doudou, and Doudou also likes Mamma Ji, which allows Mu Huanqing to be able to work even when she is not in Zhuangzi. Completely assured.
After quickly explaining the matter to the steward, Mu Huanqing brought bows and arrows, weapons and simple luggage. Li Yuan and Xinyu also prepared their luggage, and everyone set off for Mazhuang, which is located not far from the manor by Mu Huanqing. .
She lived in the Northeast when she was thirteen years old. In addition to practicing martial arts, she also knew horses by fate. She likes horses, and even more like their temperament.
She likes to gallop on the grasslands of Liao and Yan on horseback, and has a feeling of wanting to traverse the rivers and lakes. There are not many restrictions on women here, she can laugh to her heart's content, she doesn't have to think about what clothes and dresses she wants to wear, she can wear Hu clothes and trousers as much as she can, she doesn't need to wear hairpins or hairpins, she only needs to comb a simple bun and be at ease.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, she used half of the 50,000 taels in exchange for her dowry to set up Mazhuang, and relied on her own to open up the territory and buy this piece of wasteland.
For more than two years, she has devoted herself to the horse market business, from selection, breeding, training and driving, etc., she has come in person.
After more than three years of operation, it has now achieved scale and achievements. The people working in Mazhuang are all her hand-picked and trusted subordinates. They completed a transaction last month. This batch of good horses was sent to the buyer, but unexpectedly, in the process of transporting the horses, they encountered robbers who stole the horses.
Mu Huanqing rode Lan Lan and led Li Yuan, Xin Yu and Hao Qi, and a group of four rushed out of the manor. As soon as she left, He Guan immediately followed, but as soon as he left the manor, he was suddenly pulled by a powerful force, which restrained him and prevented him from advancing half a step.
"Damn it!" he cursed softly. The object of the blood oath was almost forgotten, not Mu Huanqing, but the little guy the size of a bean.
He flew back immediately. At this time, Mama Ji had already returned to the house with Doudou in her arms. As soon as He Guan entered the room, he immediately blew a black mist at Mama Ji. When Mama Ji fell on the bed and fell asleep, He Guan picked it up. Little Doudou hurriedly chased after her mother.
Doudou looked curiously at himself floating in the air, not only was not afraid, but clapped his hands excitedly and smiled.
"Uncle Fei, Uncle Fei!"
Seeing her smiling happily, He Guan also had a funny face, pinching her nose lightly.
"It's very strange, to meet a baby who doesn't cry or make trouble. I don't know if it's too courageous or too stupid, but I don't know how to be afraid."
Doudou was lightly pinched by his nose, smiled suddenly, leaned into his arms, wrapped his hands around his neck, and rubbed his little face against his neck, actually loving to be close to him.
He Guan was taken aback. In the past few years, he has seen countless women, and he has been in contact with all kinds of women, but he has never been in contact with a little girl. For the first time, he was hugged by this soft little guy. He was evil. Mei's eyes showed a gentle look.
Because of the blindfolds he set up, others could not see Doudou, and naturally they would not find a baby flying in the air, so he was able to take her unrestrictedly, and after a while, he caught up with Mu Huanqing and his party.
The four of Mu Huanqing drove for an hour and a half and finally arrived at Mazhuang. Mazhuang's men had already seen their figures from the observation deck, and hurriedly reported to the guards below, and opened the heavy gate to welcome the eldest lady. arrive. Mu Huanqing rode directly into the gate, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to one of his men, and asked several men who came to greet him.
