Time flies, and it has been two years in the blink of an eye. In August, the weather is much cooler than before. After Xie Yuan took care of the affairs at the Yamen, he took a day to accompany his wife and children to the racecourse outside the city.

The two siblings have been clamoring for a long time to learn riding skills. Originally, the wife could have brought them to learn, but Xie Yuan could not rest assured, and the weather had been hot, so it had been postponed until now.

A family of four came to the racecourse. Jiang Mingyue spoke to the steward who managed the racecourse and took them to the place where the horses were raised.

After they walked away, Tuanzi whispered: "Aniang, that person looks so fierce! He looks like he's not easy to deal with at first glance."

Putao then added: "My leg and foot skills are very good."

The couple looked at each other, and Jiang Mingyue looked at her daughter curiously: "How did you know that he has good leg and foot skills?"

"I can tell, the way he walks is different from Shuizhao and Uncle Wang."

Putao's observation ability was very strong, which was reflected when she was very young. Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue didn't find it strange at all that she could observe this.

"When Guanshi Chen was young, he practiced a very special kind of leg and foot skills. He could travel five hundred miles a day and run faster than a horse with all his strength. Once something happened on the racecourse, he could immediately take action. This That’s why merchants pay a lot of money to hire him to take care of the racecourse.”

Jiang Mingyue looked down at her son: "The reason why Manager Chen acted so fiercely was to intimidate Xiao Xiao. After all, it is not easy to manage such a large racecourse. In fact, he is quite easy to get along with in private."

"Well, when they smiled at us just now, their eyes were full of smiles and they were very gentle. Unlike the old candy seller we met two days ago, although he looked very gentle, he was also very gentle. He smiled at us, but his eyes were cold and he was pretending to smile." Putao said.

Xie Yuan touched his daughter's head and took the opportunity to teach the two of them: "A fierce person does not necessarily mean a bad person, and a kind person does not necessarily mean a good person. To tell whether a person is good or bad, you must not only use your eyes to see, but also your ears to listen. , but also use your hearts to distinguish.”

Both of them were thoughtful.

Jiang Mingyue waited for them to finish digesting and then added in a warm voice: "The bad guys are actually not scary, because we are already prepared for them, so they can't hurt us at all. But what is really scary are the bad guys wearing the clothes of good guys, because we are against them." They have no defense at all and can easily be hurt by them.”

This time the two of them understood quickly.

"It's like grandpa. He looks very kind and upright, but privately he always lies to Tuanzi and deceives Tuanzi about things."

Jiang Mingyue: "..."

Nowadays, it is a great pleasure for the old man to tease Tuanzi every day and use various methods to coax the good things from his hands. Although Tuanzi is a person who refuses to admit defeat, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable after being deceived too many times. , so Shen Mo's image in his heart is really not very good.

She glanced at her husband who was dumbfounded, gently touched her son's head and said, "Grandpa is joking with you! Don't say that in front of him."

"Tuanzi knows that Tuanzi can't fight him now, so naturally he has to avoid his edge and wait five or six years before looking back at him."

Xie Yuan gently patted his son's round little head.

"How are you talking? He is the elder, and we juniors must respect him and show respect."

"understood!"

While the four of them were talking, they arrived at the place where the horses were kept. Jiang Mingyue pointed at the foals in the stables and said, "Let's see if there is anything we like."

Tuanzi raised his head and looked at Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue: "Mom and dad, if I have someone I particularly like, can you give me a horse?"

Xie Yuan said warmly: "Of course."

"Thank you dad, thank you mom."

Then he happily ran to the stables, and Xie Yuan hurriedly stopped his son.

"Don't approach them suddenly. You'll startle them. Just follow dad and pass by normally."

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the father and son walking hand in hand to the stables, looked down at her daughter and said, "You go too! If your parents like it, they will buy you one too."

Grape shook his head slightly.

"I just want to learn equestrian skills, not horses."

Jiang Mingyue asked curiously: "Why?"

Putao raised his little head and said, "These horses are not worthy of being my mounts. I will find a better one myself later."

Jiang Mingyue looked at her arrogant daughter, pursed her lips and smiled. Such a daughter is so cute.

"Well, if you find it later, don't forget to show it to grandma."

"it is good!"

The mother and daughter walked to the stable while talking. Jiang Mingyue pulled a handful of hay from the pillar next to it and handed it to her daughter: "You can feed them some grass first. When they get familiar with you, you can ride on them." They are."

"Need not!"

Putao held her mother's hand and came to a maroon pony. They looked at each other. The maroon horse bent its legs and suddenly half-knelt on the ground.

Putao reached out and touched the red horse's head: "Get up!"

As if he understood what Tao Tao said, the bay horse stood up again and even took the initiative to rub Tao Tao's hand.

Although Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan have seen similar things like this many times, they feel it is very magical every time they see it.

My daughter seems to be able to communicate with animals. Whether they are birds or animals, or fish and shrimps in the water, they are all very close to my daughter.

Xie Yuan looked away, pulled out another handful of grass and handed it to his son.

Perhaps the foal was already familiar with Tuanzi, and this time he rolled all the grass into his mouth with his tongue. Tuanzi let out a 'wow' and said in surprise: "It's so strong!"

Then he asked, "Can I touch it?"

Xie Yuan made a "hmm" sound and taught: "Touch slowly!"

When Tuanzi heard this and stretched out his hand, he subconsciously turned to look at his sister.

Grape said calmly: "Just touch it! It won't hurt you."

As if taking reassurance, Tuanzi reached out and gently touched the foal.

The foal was really well-behaved, letting Tuanzi touch it, and it didn't move even after it had eaten the grass.

Xie Yuan, Jiang Mingyue and other children were already familiar with the horse and asked, "You can try riding on it."

Tuanzi and Putao became excited when they heard this, but Tuanzi then said: "Can we really ride them? They look very small."

"Although they look very small, they won't have any problem carrying you two."

"Then we want to ride." Tuanzi said happily.

Xie Yuan looked at his wife and said, "I'll get the saddle!"

Jiang Mingyue said softly.

"Mom, how old is it?" Tuanzi looked at the pony and asked.

"About seven or eight months."

"Oh my god! So small? Then aren't they still babies?"

"Horses are different from us humans. They reach adulthood when they are five or six years old, and they usually reach adulthood at around three years old..."

Jiang Mingyue took advantage of Xie Yuan's arrival to educate her children about horses.
