Chapter 108 Walking around

Brother Thirteen's eyes widened, and he looked at the remaining red and white horses with surprise on his face. He obviously didn't understand why the horses were rich, so they had to be ridden by two people.

The tenth prince's expression remained unchanged, he reined in his horse and followed behind.

"Da da da da..."

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and "Coral" took the two of them into a trot.

Shu Shu squinted her eyes and felt the cool autumn breeze, feeling relaxed and happy.

Brother Jiu sat behind him and held Shu Shu in his arms. The faint scent of magnolia flowers made people feel distraught, and they had to endure it to keep from losing their composure.

"Haha! Brother Ninth, Sister-in-law Ninth, younger brother goes first..."

The atmosphere was quite good, but it was immediately interrupted by the male duck voice of the tenth prince.

Following the sound of voices, the tenth prince was already galloping away, gradually moving away.

Norob hurriedly motioned to several guards to follow him quickly.

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, but he had to shout loudly: "Don't go too fast, wait at the front station..."

Thirty miles to the post, the first post is right in the middle of Miyun Palace and Yaoting Palace.

The group of people came out of Miyun Palace and walked for half an hour. The carriage had already traveled more than ten miles.

"knew!"

The reply from Brother Ten came from a distance.

The thirteenth elder brother did not dare to be as wanton as the tenth elder brother. He looked pitifully at his brother and sister-in-law's unruly behavior and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Shu Shu wanted to ride a horse by herself.

Although it was early in the morning, the weather was cool and I didn't feel the heat at all, but the humidity was high. The young couple were standing next to each other, and their clothes were damp.

Another saddle, with two people sitting on it, not only crowded, but also a little uncomfortable.

After about two miles, Shu Shu said: "Master, it's okay..."

Brother Jiu's eyes flickered, he touched the soft horse's mane, and discussed in a low voice: "How about we change horses today, I ride this horse, and you ride my horse..."

Shu Shu didn't have any objections: "Well, let's change it... As long as my horse doesn't know how to live..."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu hurriedly said without thinking about it: "Then forget it..."

His red and white horse was a gift from Princess Heshuo Kejing. It can be used as a mount for the prince's elder brother, so he can naturally train it well.

Brother Jiu is riding Obedience, and he often rides that horse when going out in the past two years.

But where are there absolutes in the world?

Even if this red and white horse refuses to accept life, it is still safer than Shu Shu's small mount.

Shu Shu saw his little thought, which was that he was attracted to "Coral"'s tall guy and didn't want to be shorter than him in front of others.

"It's okay. I'm riding Coral? with Brother Thirteen in front. I'm riding your horse, and Xiaosong is riding the other one..."

Shu Shu said: "I still have to walk for several days on the road. I can't always let you accompany me and leave my brothers aside..."

The couple is currently accompanied by four horses. In addition to their respective mounts, there is also a replacement horse for each.

Brother Jiu was still hesitant and nodded after a while: "Then you try it first. If you don't obey the horse, don't show off and compete with it. Come down quickly..."

"Yeah! Don't worry, I've also ridden other horses..."

The two men got off their horses and the whole team stopped.

In addition to the guards and soldiers accompanying the two, the carriage also followed behind.

Xiao Song looked at Shu Shu longingly, thinking about it but he was also afraid of Brother Jiu next to him.

Shu Shu was so amused that she came over and said, "Go get the little white horse, you ride that one first..."

Xiaosong had already been fascinated by seeing everyone riding horses. When he heard that he could ride a horse, he immediately smiled and went down to lead the horse.

At this time, Brother Jiu brought the red and white horse and introduced it to Shu Shu: "It's called 'Dengyun'. You see, most of it is red, and its waist and legs are white. Doesn't it look like it?"

Like a red horse in the clouds?"

Shu Shu listened with a smile and looked carefully several times.

I have to say that even if she used her imagination, she could not see that the white areas looked like clouds.

Ninth Brother's name is obviously a waste. This name cannot be said to be appropriate, it can only be said to be completely irrelevant.

Brother Jiu had been groping around "Dengyun"'s neck for a while, soothed the horse, and helped Shu Shu get on the horse.

As soon as Shu Shu got on the horse, she noticed a difference. Her eyes were lowered, but she was more comfortable sitting astride him.

Shu Shu's mount is tall and has an amazing waist.

In comparison, "Dengyun" is a lot smaller.

Shu Shu tried the reins, and "Dengyun" also changed direction obediently.

Seeing that Shu Shu successfully controlled "Deng Yun", Brother Jiu felt relieved, but he seriously warned: "Don't rush now, just ride and walk, don't think about running..."

Shu Shu nodded in agreement.

The days of horseback riding are still long, so there is no need to rush for half a day.

Although Brother Ninth got his wish and rode the tall and mighty "Coral", he had no intention of galloping, so he pulled the reins and walked side by side with Shu Shu.

Brother Thirteen followed behind, feeling very anxious.

Don’t you have some errands?!

Didn't they set off early to check on the palace pick-up arrangements in front of the holy team?

This is all delayed on the road, is there still time to check?

Brother Thirteen really doesn’t understand why riding a horse is so slow, even slower than riding a car.?

He was a little impatient and already regretted it. If he had to make another choice, he felt that he would bite the bullet and go with Brother Ten.

Komatsu is in the third row.

She looked at Shu Shu's back and couldn't help but glare at Brother Jiu next to her.

My brother is so clingy!

It was the same when I was in the second institute, and it was the same when I came out!

Fujin clearly asked him to accompany the horseman!

"yawn!"

Brother Jiu sneezed heavily.

Shu Shu was startled and immediately reined in: "Did you catch a cold? Is there something uncomfortable? Is your head heavy? Is your throat itchy?"

She regretted a little. Even if it was not time to wear a cloak, she should have let Brother Jiu wear a thicker vest instead of this silk vest.

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I guess it's Lao Shi who is whispering behind my back..."

Shu Shu nodded and said nothing more, but remembered the matter of adding and removing clothes.

She looked back at Brother Thirteen, who was wearing a hard-faced vest, covering her chest and back tightly.

Brother Thirteen's face already showed anxiety.

Shu Shu saw this and advised Brother Ninth: "Why don't you take Uncle Thirteen to go first, so that Uncle Ten will not have to wait in front alone..."

Brother Jiu refused to move: "Who told him to be disobedient? Let him wait at the front... This is on the royal road, and it is mostly safe in front and back. If you go to other places and dare to leave like this in the wilderness,

He should be given a good beating with a board!"

"Are you... worried about the wolf?"

Shu Shu mentioned this and looked at both sides. On one side was the mountain and on the other side was the wilderness.

A few years ago, there was a wolf plague outside the city, which destroyed several villages.

Many legends were left behind.

Brother Jiu shook his head: "Wolves can't even be ranked... This area of ​​Gyeonggi, especially the north, has tigers and leopards... these big beasts, after eating a human once, they taste like a human being."

Can’t stop…”

Shu Shu was no longer curious, she just felt her scalp numb.

Fortunately, this team of more than two hundred people was quite large, and even if there were indeed ferocious beasts hiding on both sides of the road, no one would dare to come out and show off their power.

Twenty miles away, the young couple rode like this, taking almost an hour.

The tenth elder brother was already bored with waiting. When he saw the group of people arriving, he complained to the ninth elder brother: "This walk is too slow. We won't be able to get there before noon..."

Brother Jiu calculated the time in his mind and said: "Just rest for a while, the time will be enough..."

Brother Ninth still refused to speed up.

He was worried that Shu Shu was not used to riding a horse for long distances, and wanted to let her adapt slowly.

Shu Shu returned to the carriage and took out the hat she had prepared.

The sun was three feet high and it was already a little sunny.

The team repaired for two quarters of an hour and set off again.

The tenth elder brother did not make any more noise and took the lead, but followed the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother and rode side by side.

?Shu Shu is wearing a hat, the kind with a face towel.

Xiaosong finally got his wish and followed on horseback.

Looking at Xiaosong's dark and red face, Shu Shu scolded: "You are just lazy. I didn't give you face cream before, why didn't you put it on properly...and the hat too. Your sister Xiaochun prepared it, why didn't you wear it?"

Xiaosong said with a "hehe" smile: "It's slimy, and I can't get used to it... The hat is uncomfortable to wear. My head is big, and the hat makes me feel uncomfortable..."

Shu Shu glanced at her twice and saw that her head circumference had grown a lot.

But Xiaochun is very careful, doesn’t he know how to let go even an inch?

It's just that this girl is not used to wearing it, so it's so difficult.

Xiao Song asked in a low voice with excitement: "Fu Jin, can you go out and hunt rabbits today?"

Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "I'll bear with you for one more day and take a look at it tomorrow. I still have to take a look at my arrangements today..."

After all, you are taking the first step in the name of an errand. If you don't do anything, you have to go through it even if it is just a formality.

In fact, what Shu Shu is most curious about is how much an egg from the Ministry of Internal Affairs costs now.

According to legend from later generations, Daoguang paid thirty taels of silver for one egg...

Mostly fabricated...

Otherwise, there would already be historical records that can be verified.

Every time Shu Shu sent people to the imperial dining room to ask for eggs, they didn't even open their mouths. They just said that they were given as a reward by the master.

Who has the nerve to be stingy? Of course it costs hundreds of dollars every time.

This money is not a big deal, but it is several times the current price outside.

At noon, the group arrived at their destination.

The general manager of the line greeted him respectfully, and he was accompanied by an official wearing a third-grade supplementary uniform, who was the current general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Harrison.

The engagement ceremony between Shu Shu and Brother Jiu in April was organized by this manager, so Shu Shu also knew this man.

"Slave Hirasun has met the ninth master, the ninth master, the tenth master, the thirteenth master..."

The manager of the line also followed suit with a thousand salutes.

Brother Jiu straightened his body, raised his hands in the direction of the road, and said seriously: "According to the emperor's instructions, I came to check whether the preparations for welcoming the driver are in order."

The two of them bowed in response.

"Is the palace dining room ready?"

Brother Ninth looked at the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "How many ingredients have been prepared? With the grace of the Emperor, each of the Shangsanqi guards accompanying the retinue will be provided with one catty of meat per person, and the Eight Banners vest will be provided with half a catty of meat per person per day. The ration is sufficient.

Forehead?"

There are nearly 300 guards in the retinue and about 4,000 Eight Banners vests. This adds up to a lot of consumption every day.

For this expenditure, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already allocated money.

The head of the House of Internal Affairs bowed and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiu, forty pigs, sixty sheep, and fifty chickens and ducks have been sent from the nearby imperial village. From now on, we will provide two meals today and tomorrow..."

Brother Ninth looked at the manager again: "How about repairing the place first? Can we sweep and clean it in the next two days?"

The manager of the line said respectfully: "The repairs have been completed early. The construction period is forty days. Forty-seven craftsmen were used. The Lord of the Construction Department will accept it on July 16th... The dust has been swept and sprinkled in the past two days, waiting for the Holy Master..."

Both of them were very respectful and their reports seemed to be detailed.

But Brother Ninth still remembered what Brother Ten had said before, you fool me, I will fool you...
