The next day, when Su Chenying was about to take Fuyun back to Mashan, she suddenly heard the gongs and drums outside.
After careful investigation, it turned out that the emperor summoned a large group of ministers to race horses in the capital. This time the horse racing was going to go through the river, so the alleys and streets along the river were asked to clear the river.
Su Chenying grabbed her own clouds and asked, "Is this a horse racing? Can anyone participate?"
The person watching next to him nodded and said, "Of course, in theory, anyone can participate, but in fact..."
Su Chenying looked at him with some confusion and said that he was a human being: "Why is it actually different from theories? Are they not playing according to Taojiang?"
Jiang Ren next to him shrugged and explained: "It's not exactly the case. I mean, in theory, everyone can participate, but if it's a horse raised in an ordinary family, I'm afraid it won't be able to run much."
lock up."
Su Chenying pointed to the tall horse beside her and asked, "Well, old man, can I take a look at my horse, can I participate in the competition?"
The old man looked at the horse, which was similar to the one who was picking up goods on the river, but looking at Su Chenying's attentive look, he was embarrassed to hurt her confidence and smiled and said, "Little girl, your horse is participating in the competition."
No problem, but this master is so powerful that you don’t have too much hope.”
As he said that, he took her to the organizer's clerk.
"You can go back and participate in the audition at this time tomorrow. Be careful to feed the horses and don't get sick!"
As he said that, he gave Su Chenying a ticket to participate and left.
When Jiang Hexi saw Su Chenying coming in and knocking on the door, he asked, "Why did you come back just now? Could it be that you are reluctant to leave?"
Su Chenying patted the horse in her hand and said, "You are so reluctant to leave, but I just heard the news of a fast horse competition, and then stopped and prepared to participate."
Jiang Hexi said in surprise: "What did you say? You want to participate in the competition too?"
Su Chenying looked at the floating clouds in her hand with smugness and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Sister-in-law, do you think my floating clouds can't run away?"
Jiang Hexi sighed and said, "You know how to steal the limelight. Do you know how much time and energy you need to spend in a race?"
Su Chenying nodded sensibly and said, "Of course I know, but if these horses don't go out to run, how can you have experience on the battlefield in the future?"
Jiang Hexi originally wanted to refute, but it seemed to make sense to hear Su Chenying say this. In addition, if this horse really wins the championship, it will definitely win the attention of the emperor. If the emperor asks it, he will explain it clearly.
The origin may also give a lot of human and material support.
So she agreed.
Su Chenying asked Fuyun to do some exercise in the backyard, without any special preparation, and she was almost at her best.
When registering for the preliminary round the next day, the floating clouds brought by Su Chenying were in trouble.
When a group of men saw this tender little girl and spoke in a slight voice, someone started to cheer: "What's going on? The woman is here to ride a horse. Is there no one in our Daliang?"
So, a group of people came out to joke with Su Chenying. Su Chenying could be said to be unexpected about this matter and had no power to resist. Standing next to her, she felt at a loss.
However, the leader of the leader stood up and said: "The competition the emperor said at the time was a national competition. Stud horses and mares can participate in the competition. Can people's gender still be controlled?"
As he said that, a series of people ran out to express opposition.
Taking advantage of everyone's strength, Su Chenying ran to the registration administrator and said, "Look, this is the voice of the public. If you don't let me participate in the competition and miss the famous horse, the emperor will blame you."
The registration officer saw that everyone was looking at Su Chenying, and the competition was not held by themselves. It was like a little girl like this, even if she participated in the competition, it would be difficult for her to get a ranking, so she tacitly allowed her to participate.
Jiang Hexi brought the floating clouds to the track. Like all horses, the floating clouds lowered their heads and stared at them with breath.
When the official of the decree waved his flag, all the horses rushed forward.
Jiang Hexi's horse was squeezed behind by a group of horses at first. He couldn't find a line of river when he wanted to run, so he could only follow the team.
Later, the brigades gradually got separated and her horse began to show its strength.
"Let's come and see, that's a female rider riding a horse!" someone shouted in the crowd.
Then, a group of people cheered at Su Chenying. When they reached the last lap, there were only three people in their sight. The person who was cheering the female rider next to him now saw her reaching the top three, and they were all cheering wildly outside.
Some people ran in front with the horses.
Unexpectedly, the horse seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and ran forward, and suddenly surpassed the two horses, and the first one passed the finish line!
"It's so incredible!" said a group of onlookers. There were a few people betting privately next to them. Some gave the female rider a 100 odds, and some even didn't have this option at all.
Now seeing Su Chenying rushing to the front like this, she is really a big dark horse.
"Now I announce that the first place is Fuyun, and the rider is Su Chenying!"
Su Chenying happily got off the horse and led the horse to the side to register.
Even the emperor was a little surprised. Looking at the competition, it would be no problem to run first in the finals in the future.
So a confidant of the emperor ran to Su Chenying, looked at her appearance carefully, then recorded it, and reported it to the emperor.
"Because today's competition is an audition, there is no bonus, but congratulations on entering the finals directly!"
As soon as the result was announced, a huge roar occurred in the audience.
Su Chenying looked at the people around her who congratulated her and felt that she was actually floating in her heart. Although she had thought about winning the championship, when the real result happened to her, she knew what flattery was.
But she quickly got used to it. She smiled slightly and pulled her own cloud home.
Jiang Xiaojiu had already heard about her winning the championship on the river and had prepared a very rich meal of scrambled beef eggs. This time she used veal, which tasted very sweet and delicious.
She also added some black pepper sauce. When she ate it, she felt refreshed and was completely exhausted and exhausted during the meal.
Su Chenying looked at the hearty dishes on the table and smiled shyly, "Everyone eat it slowly, don't worry about me."
