Chapter 184: Riding a Horse
Go to bed late and wake up late.
Yanan woke up and opened her eyes to find that the room was already bright. She turned her head and looked around, and saw two handsome faces of different styles. Oh my god, this is the plot of reaching the peak of life. Although she did nothing, she can't deny it. These two handsome men are definitely her husbands.
Yanan, who was fully awake, didn't want to face such an awkward situation so early in the morning. She moved lightly and tried to slowly move out of the quilt from the end of the bed by moving her body downwards.
The result was such a ridiculous scene. The unknown object under the quilt was moving rhythmically, and the quilt was moved to move at the same frequency! Even the deepest sleepers were startled. The two men opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other for a moment, and raised their long legs to press at the same time. The unknown object was instantly pinned down and could not move.
"Let me go, let me go, I'm suffocating!" A cursing voice came from under the quilt.
The quilt was pulled aside by the man, revealing a socially dead scene that Yanan would never want to face in her life: Yanan was crawling backwards, with her butt sticking out, kneeling, and her head resting on her hands. The most embarrassing thing for her was that he stretched out one leg to cross her knees, perfectly blocking her hips as she moved backwards.
This scene made Yanan extremely embarrassed. She had no idea how she had caused all this. The temperature of her hands soared rapidly, and she refused to raise her head.
Shen Wen and Hua Heng half raised their heads and watched for a moment before they understood what had happened. They had undoubtedly misunderstood, but they did not dare to expose the truth themselves. Could they just pretend that nothing had happened and cover themselves with the quilt? Obviously not, but they did not know how to speak, so they could only use all their strength and a few brute forces to hold back their laughter.
"Let...go...open...your legs!" Yanan growled when he found that the legs pressing on him were getting heavier and heavier, and he could no longer bear it.
"Oh...oh..." The men retracted their legs at the same time.
Yanan, with disheveled hair, crawled out of bed angrily. She rushed out of the room to the bathroom to clean herself up. Regardless of the icy cold winter water, she splashed some water on her face. Oh my god, it was too cold. This stimulation made her feel more energetic. She gritted her teeth and muttered that she would never sleep in the same bed with them again.
In the room, Shen Wen and Hua Heng were laughing so hard that they kept rolling on the big bed, holding their stomachs. No one could have imagined that the morning of sleeping in the same bed would bring such excitement. Haha, that shy and brave woman was their dear wife.
After all this trouble, everyone was completely awake, got up to wash, change clothes, and eat, and everyone was back to normal.
"Madam, do you want to go by carriage? Or by horse?" Shen Wen asked.
"Can I ride a horse?" Yanan looked a little excited.
"Okay, but you need to ride Jueying with me." Shen Wen said with a smile.
"Then I'll ride that black horse," Hua Heng also said with a smile.
When the three of them arrived at the stable, they saw the servant bringing in two black horses. After the man's explanation, Yanan learned that Wuzhui had a dark body and shiny fur, and its characteristic was that its four hooves were as white as snow. Jueying, as the name suggests, was a good horse that could run faster than even a shadow could catch up with it, and its fur had various colors. It turned out that it was named after the horse breed and speed.
Yanan was now fully armed from head to toe, with only her eyes exposed. Shen Wen comforted Jueying, and Hua Heng helped her to get on the horse. After she sat firmly on the horse, Shen Wenheng got on the horse and sat behind her.
They took two guards with them and set out from the back door of Shen's house. At first, Yanan was nervous about the unfamiliar horse and held the saddle tightly. Later, he found that Shen Wen had a high skill in controlling the horse and relaxed. They went all the way to the west gate. This time, Yanan saw the life of the city residents more directly. He heard the conversations of passers-by. The content of the conversation turned out to be that there was a literacy teaching activity at the street corner school on their street. The books used were the enlightenment books donated by Prince Ning. Seeing that the flow of people was also heading to that street corner, Yanan looked at Hua Heng and smiled. The literacy competition was a well-organized literacy activity. Whether it was for literacy or for the reward, it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Hold on to Yanan, there is not much traffic ahead, let's speed up a bit, and when you get out of the city gate, you will see that there is a new roadside market there." Shen Wen leaned close to Yanan's ear and said, and then he slowly let the horse speed up.
"Deer, deer..." The sound of horse hooves was flying. At first, I could feel the ups and downs of the horse's back and the cold wind on my face. Later, the horse's speed became faster and faster, and the frequency of ups and downs became higher and higher. I felt the cold wind blowing directly on my face, and the scene passing by in front of my eyes was a little blurred. But I was still in a good mood. After all, it was my husband who was leading me. It felt very good. The only bad thing was that when I opened my mouth to scream just now, even though I covered my face with my scarf, I still ate a cold wind. Fortunately, we arrived at the West Gate and the horse slowed down.
"Anan, the west city gate is in front of us. The street market is just outside the city gate." Shen Wen introduced to Anan.
"Can we come and go here freely?" Yanan asked curiously.
"You have to pay three cents to enter the city, but you don't have to pay to leave the city." Shen Wen replied, and he controlled his horse to move slowly forward with the flow of people leaving the city. The accompanying guards had already shown their tokens in advance, and the city guards had opened the horizontal bars in advance and let the four of them go out first, ignoring the inquiry procedures. Yanan was actually a little curious. What did the city gate guards base their interrogation on? Did they just rely on their mouths to tell the truth? I'll ask these questions when I get home.
As soon as we turned onto a new road out of the city, the feeling was completely different. Dada Industrial Park Recruitment Office? Yanan pulled Shen Wen's sleeve, indicating that he should look there. Dada Park was recruiting workers here.
"Haha, yes, we have set up a recruitment point here, and we also sell some of our products. Almost every day, we deliver goods to the mountain to supply the vegetarian restaurant, which is a win-win situation." Shen Wen said this with a smile in his eyes. The donation activity has ended, and judging from the current level of excitement, the popularity has not decreased. It seems that this market has been successful.
The horses slowed down as they walked on the road, and the people on horseback looked around at the goods on the stalls on both sides of the road. There were so many varieties that it was dizzying. Usually, when they saw something they liked, they would stop to bargain.
Yanan followed the crowd and took a quick look until he saw a few farmers carrying fruits in bamboo baskets for sale. From a distance, they looked like apples in season. "Awen, I want to buy that kind of fruit." Yanan pointed to the three people carrying bamboo baskets in front of him.
"Okay!" Shen Wen accurately controlled the horse to stop beside these people. Yanan took a look and saw that the skin had colorful patterns. Isn't this the ugly Ping fruit? ! She nodded to Shen Wen and wanted to eat it! Hua Heng and the guards behind him also stopped their horses. When the old farmer who sold fruits saw that there were customers stopping by, he also stopped and put down the bamboo basket.
"Uncle, how much do you sell this fruit for?" Hua Heng spoke first.
"Sir, you have good eyesight. The fruit in my house is very sweet and only costs three cents per pound. Would you like some?" The old farmer replied with a simple smile.
"Is it grown by your family, or is it wild in the mountains?" Yanan asked in a low voice.
"Oh, of course I grew them myself. If they were wild, it would have been picked by someone else long ago, and it would not be my turn to sell them!" the old farmer answered honestly.
"Then give me half a bag without the strap!" Hua Heng said.
"Oh, okay, okay!" The old man pretended to be satisfied and asked his eldest son to bring the scale over.
"Uncle, make sure it's weighed enough for me. If it's not, I'll go back and weigh it again and come back to find you." Yanan thought it was quite interesting and wanted to lie to the seller like in modern times.
"Oh, young man, our village is just behind here. Who dares to cheat people on this road? The Buddha is watching us. Only with the Buddha's blessing can we make a living in this market. Make sure it's enough." The old man kept muttering, and the scale was tilted when he was weighed.
"Sir, thirty-two pounds!" the old farmer reported the weight.
"Here is a hundred coins, and the extra money will be used to buy your cloth bag." Hua Heng handed over a string of copper coins and took the half cloth bag of fruit at the same time. He tied the mouth of the bag neatly and hung it horizontally on the horse's back in front of him.
For the rest of the journey, they just strolled around and didn't buy anything. Their pace was not too slow. When they reached the end of the market, they rode their horses straight up the mountain.
