Chapter 632: Autumn Tour of the Horse Farm
There is a very large horse farm in the southwest of Zhangye, where the main breeding ponies are raised, the endless grassland is full of autumn wildflowers, a clear river flows through the grassland, flows into the Zhangye River, the scenery here is beautiful, you can rent tents, buy wood, it is also very safe, the people of Zhangye often bring their children to come here for an outing, you can ride horses, barbecue, camping, and return after two or three days.
Early the next morning, under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, Guo Song took a large family and more than a dozen maids and servants to the racecourse in ten carriages.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhang Hutou jumped out of the carriage impatiently, cheered, and galloped towards a few ponies in the distance, Guo Weiwei followed closely behind him, shouting: "That red pony is mine!" ”
Xue Tao was so anxious that he shouted: "Xiaowei, watch your step!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Guo Weiwei stumbled and threw herself into the grass, which frightened everyone into screaming, but Guo Weiwei got up and ran towards the pony like a gust of wind.
Xue Tao said to her husband with some complaints: "Look at this crazy girl in your family, she doesn't look like a little lady at all. ”
Guo Song laughed, he was also a little surprised in his heart, his other daughter Guo Weiwei has also been a crazy girl since she was a child, which is really amazing.
Zhang Hutou and Guo Weiwei finally failed to catch up with the frightened pony and returned with a dejected face, when the shepherd of the horse farm brought a large number of tents and timber, as well as fresh mutton that had just been slaughtered.
Dozens of ponies were also brought over, and Guo Weiwei saw the little red horse just now, and immediately jumped up happily.
She took her father's hand, came to the little red horse, and said coquettishly: "Daddy taught me to ride a horse!" ”
After a long time, she still couldn't ride a horse, Guo Song smiled and picked up her daughter, put her in the saddle, put her feet into the stirrups, and said to her: "You grab the saddle bridge, and Daddy leads the horse slowly." ”
"Daddy, I'm a little scared!"
As soon as the pony started, Guo Weiwei screamed in fright.
At this time, Zhang Hutou rode a small black horse and galloped past her.
Guo Song smiled: "Look at the tiger's head, it's quite good." ”
Guo Weiwei snorted, raised her head, and strengthened her courage, although she trembled with fright, her mouth did not admit defeat, "I will also ride, but ride a little slower." ”
But the meekness of the pony really made her slowly find her feelings, Guo Song held the reins and walked slowly, and her daughter Guo Weiwei shouted excitedly, "Daddy, I can ride a horse." ”
"Now that you know how to ride, Daddy will let go of the reins!"
"Don't!" Guo Weiwei suddenly screamed in fright, and begged: "Daddy, please don't let go." ”
Guo Song raised his head and laughed, the little guy was really interesting.
........
The child had a good day, and Guo Weiwei was able to ride the pony slowly by herself, and she no longer needed her father to help her lead the horse, but there was still a soldier who followed her to prevent the pony from being frightened and galloping.
At the beginning of the night, dozens of big tents have been tied, three bonfires are lit in front of the big tent, everyone is busy roasting mutton, a group of children surround Guo Song, watching him skillfully cook milk tea for everyone, with sucrose, the fragrance of milk tea is even stronger.
"The first cup is ready, who will draw a lot?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"It's me!" Guo Weiwei raised her hand high.
Guo Song smiled curiously and asked, "I remember that you didn't draw the fourth lot?" ”
Son Guo Jincheng said sullenly: "I drew the first lottery and gave it to Sister A." ”
"Where did you give it to me, and did I exchange it with you? I lent you the calligraphy that Ah Gong Yan gave me for a month, and you agreed to exchange it. ”
"Hmmm! This condition does not suffer. ”
Guo Song touched his son's head and smiled: "Ah Gong Yan's calligraphy is a priceless treasure, you have to practice calligraphy well." ”
"Daddy, I will."
Guo Song poured the first cup of milk tea into Guo Weiwei's cup, and a small half was left, and poured it to Zhang Hutou, who had won the second lot, and the two cheered and ran to their mother with the cup.
He poured water and prepared to start boiling the second pot of milk tea.
"Daddy, do you still want to go on the expedition in the spring of next year?" Guo Jincheng suddenly asked.
"How do you know?"
"I heard what Uncle Pan said, he said that next spring, the Hui army will go south to Yunzhou in a big way, and you will definitely go to support."
Guo Song smiled slightly: "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation then!" ”
"I know, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored."
"Who taught you?" Guo Song asked curiously.
"I saw it in my father's study, and this sentence was written on the small white jade screen on the table."
Guo Song remembered that there was indeed this sentence in his outer study, engraved on the white jade screen.
Guo Song's heart moved, his son was only five years old, but he was much more mature than children of the same age, and he could not be measured by the standards of ordinary children, so he should invite a famous teacher to teach him.
"Fourth uncle, the water is boiling!" Zhang Jianniang, who won the third lot, saw the water rolling for a long time, but her uncle didn't move, and couldn't help but remind him.
Guo Song pulled back his thoughts and said with a smile: "It's okay, the water needs to be boiled for a while longer, and the milk tea will be more fragrant!" ”
He put the tea cake and cheese in the water and stirred it slowly.
........
At night, Guo Song lay in the big tent and couldn't sleep, his wife Xue Tao snuggled up to him, she stroked the short beard of her husband's chin and asked with a smile: "I tossed my wife twice in one night, aren't you tired?" ”
Guo Song hugged his wife a little tighter, and said softly: "I'm thinking about Ah Cheng." ”
Xue Tao glanced at him, and said angrily: "I thought you only had Xiaowei in your heart!" I finally thought about my son. ”
Guo Song stretched out his hand and patted his wife gently, "Nonsense! He is the son of the world, how can I not want him. ”
Xue Tao was emotional, twisted his body and said coquettishly: "Don't worry about your son first, take care of your mother!" ”
"Obey!"
Guo Song turned over and got up, and fell in love with his wife again.
After a while, Guo Song lay down exhausted, Xue Tao was satisfied, pillowed on her husband's shoulder and smiled: "Now I can talk about my son, I listen carefully." ”
Guo Song yawned and said vaguely: "I'm thinking, invite a famous teacher for my son and teach him ......."
"Husband, Ah Cheng is only five years old, isn't it too early?"
Xue Tao found that her husband did not respond, and only then did she realize that he had fallen asleep.
Xue Tao smiled, she covered the quilt, hugged her husband tightly, and she slowly fell asleep.
........
The next morning, all the children complained of misery, they were sore, unable to move, Guo Song walked into the children's tent, but found his son sitting at the small table, practicing calligraphy seriously.
"Ah Cheng, don't you have sore legs?"
Guo Jincheng shook his head, "Daddy, I'm fine!" ”
Guo Song asked strangely, "Why?" ”
"Daddy, I only rode for an hour, unlike Sister A, who rode in the morning and in the afternoon, without moderation, of course they were in pain."
Guo Weiwei next to her snorted: "Little ghost, you are not allowed to sue me for being black!" ”
Guo Song walked to her daughter and sat down, and gently touched her leg, Guo Weiwei immediately screamed in pain.
"Xiaowei, you're exaggerating!"
"Daddy, I'm hurting everywhere from head to toe, even my hair, let's go home!"
"Want to go home?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"Yes!"
"Daddy has prepared an herb for you to soak in a hot bath, and then you will be painless, and maybe you can ride a horse for a while in the afternoon."
Guo Weiwei's eyes lit up, "Then when will you take a bath?" ”
"My aunt is preparing hot water! Daddy hugged you. ”
"Hmm!"
Guo Song picked up his daughter horizontally, wrapped her in a blanket, and said to his son: "Ah Cheng, you can take a bath later, ride a horse in the afternoon, and we will go back early tomorrow morning." ”
"Daddy, I see."
Guo Song came to the big tent and handed the child to Ah Qiu, who bathed the two children, and in the big tent of Zhang Lei's family, Li Wenyu and the concubine also bathed the child.
"I'm undressing the child, husband, get out quickly!"
"Get out, get out!" Guo Weiwei also followed her father out.
Guo Song smiled and walked out of the big tent, and the two maids put down the curtain.
At this time, Xue Tao stepped forward and said, "Husband, I wanted to tell you something last night, but you fell asleep." ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's the matter of Acheng's apprenticeship, a few days ago, there was a great Confucian who liked Acheng very much and said that he wanted to accept him as a disciple."
"Who is it?"
"Xiangguo Li Mi."
It was actually Li Mi, Guo was stunned, "He's in Zhangye?" ”
"Yan Gong died of illness, he also came to worship, Ah Cheng went to worship Yan Gong when he met him, they chatted for a long time, Li Xiangguo said, Ah Cheng is the world's unparalleled jade, he is willing to be a jade carver, I think Ah Cheng is still young, I didn't take this matter to heart, husband said last night, I just remembered this matter."
Guo Song was immediately interested, did Li Mi finally enter the WTO again?
