Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying took the third and fourth princes out of the capital and went to Zhao Garden in Haidian, the Zhu family's mansion of Duke Zhao, to spend their rest days. Although they did it very low-key and the emperor did not make it public, the news spread quickly because there was no deliberate secrecy in the palace and many people were keeping an eye on Zhang Shou who had been in the public eye since he came to the capital.
During the horseback riding that evening, Zhang Shou and his party did not meet anyone. But early the next morning, when Zhang Shou woke up the two princes who were planning to take a nap, and knocked on the door to wake up Zhu Ying who was sleeping soundly, and urged them to finish breakfast and go out, the servants of Zhao Garden were busy tidying up the house and cleaning the garden, but then the visitor came.
"Looking for Mr. Shou and Miss?" After asking the visitor the purpose of his visit, the concierge said with a smile, "Mr. Shou and Miss left early in the morning, saying they were herding cattle. They are probably in a field nearby."
Although the concierge was very smart and never mentioned the third and fourth princes, Ji Jiu and the others who came were all very sensible and naturally did not ask about the whereabouts of the two nobles. However, after they left, not only did Ji Jiu, the leader, frown, but the other young masters were also very surprised.
"Herding cattle? Dr. Zhang actually took the eldest lady and the third and fourth princes to herd cattle? How do they herd cattle? Just like in the New Year pictures, with the shepherd boy sitting on the back of the cattle and playing the flute?"
Everyone imagined the scene, and then Ji Jiu felt the corners of his mouth twitching. The scene was so beautiful that it was unbearable to look at. Zhang Shou was like a landscape in ink and wash, Zhu Ying was like a rich and beautiful painting, and the two princes seemed like golden boys jumping out of the New Year pictures. They were totally incompatible with the buffalo plowing the land!
No matter how puzzled they were, they had to bite the bullet and go find him. After all, yesterday after class, the news that the questions for the class test would be set by Xu Heizi from the Shengqian Hall spread like wildfire. At that moment, countless students from the Banshan Hall cried out in agony. Regardless of whether they had ever been beaten by the Shengqian Hall, Xu Heizi's reputation was too great.
Therefore, Ji Jiu was publicly pushed out with a few companions to persuade Zhang Shou to "take back his decision." However, the current situation was completely different from what they imagined Zhang Shou would do to the Third and Fourth Princes - do you dare to say that herding cattle is a special treatment
Fortunately, several people were riding horses. After trotting around the area, they saw Zhu Ying, who was too eye-catching. In the countryside where most people were covered in dust, the young lady riding a tall white horse and wearing bright red was so conspicuous that it was impossible to ignore her. Of course, what was more eye-catching at this time was not her, but her movements.
Because Zhu Ying was lying on the horse's back, looking like she would fall off at any time.
Without much thought, Ji Jiu took the lead and the others followed closely behind, thinking only of rushing to the rescue. But when they were very close to Zhu Ying, they heard her uncontrollable laughter. Looking closely, they realized that it was not Zhu Ying who was about to fall off, but that the eldest lady was laughing so hard that she seemed to be unable to sit still and was about to fall off the horse.
"Ah Shou, why are you wearing a bamboo hat? If you don't show your face, no one will know it's you! Ah Liu, keep an eye on San Lang and Si Lang, these two guys are about to fall off out of fear! I don't know who started the fuss about wanting to ride the bull!"
