Chapter 447 Daming If You Are the One
The gate of the city was congested as usual, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, but when this group of second-generation officials galloped towards them, the people at the gate dispersed like birds and beasts, and even the guards at the gate were also shocked. They all hurried out of the way.
In the feudal society, status as a powerful person is the best passport! This is the unbreakable truth.
Zhu Ping'an rode a horse and followed the group of honorable children out of the city gate. The guards at the city gate nodded and bowed to watch the horseshoe go away. This is the first time Zhu Pingan has left the imperial capital since he came to the capital to take part in the examination.
It has been a long time since I lost the fragrance of the soil and the green mountains.
Zhu Pingan rode on horseback, looking at the lush green mountains in the distance, blowing the breeze with the fragrance of soil, trusting the horse and wandering the reins, he couldn't help but feel good.
I drove all the way out of the imperial capital, walked along the official road for a while, and then turned to a small road. Along the small road, I entered a woodland. This woodland is well maintained, and many trees must be more than a hundred years old. The trunk of the tree piercing the sky spread out its branches and leaves in mid-air, covering the wind and clouds, cutting off the sunlight, and sprinkling mottled spots all over the ground.
Out of the woods is a low hillside, behind the low hillside are rolling mountains and dense forests.
"Brother-in-law, this is Jinji Ridge. If you stomp your feet under that rock over there, you will hear a clanking sound, like a golden rooster crowing, so this place is called Jinji Ridge." Fatty Zhou put After slowing down, he turned his head and said to Zhu Pingan who was beside him.
"Yes." Zhu Pingan nodded, and also slowed down the horse.
Zhu Ping'an is very satisfied with the steed under him. Compared with the **** who killed Matt's dark horse, this steed is the real horse. It is fast, intelligent and obedient. More than double.
While Fatty Zhou and Zhu Pingan were chatting, a group of second-generation officials in front of them slowly stopped their horses and surrounded an open space. There was a second-generation official in the middle who was proposing something, and everyone applauded from time to time and echoed.
Fatty Zhou was very curious when he saw this, and surrounded him with his horse's belly, looking positive, as if going late would be a huge loss.
Zhu Pingan rode slowly towards the crowd without haste. The reason why Zhu Pingan was not in a hurry was because he could read clearly what the second official in the middle said through his eyes, and he had no interest in going to join in the fun.
Judging from the words on his lips, the flamboyant second-generation official is proposing to race horses, go around this hillside and go to the place where horses gather for spring outing on another small road that is not often walked. The priority is to enter the hunt, and those who arrive later can only enter the hunt in sequence.
When Zhu Pingan drove the horse, the horse racing proposal of the official second generation had been unanimously approved by everyone. Fatty Zhou was also eager to try, rubbing the horse's belly between his thighs and rubbing with excitement.
Thinking about it, one can understand that horse racing is in line with the competitive mentality of teenagers, and the ranking is also related to the hunting order. For these honorable children, the hunting harvest is related to the reputation of their ancestors, and they always value this. If you get a lot in this hunting, you will be envied by your peers, and praised and valued by your elders, which will have a non-negligible impact on the army and local assignments.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that the spring outings and hunting places are not only boys, there are also countless girls, ladies from the Duke's family, beauties from civil servants, and some ladies and jaspers who come here especially , it can be said that this spring outing is almost the ancient version of "If You Are the One".
Therefore, it is understandable that these second-generation officials are full of testosterone.
After the horse racing proposal is agreed upon, everyone dismounts and rests, and then their attendants go to the only way for the horse race to clear the roadblocks. By the way, they act as referees to supervise and prevent anyone from cheating.
After Fatty Zhou got off his horse, he lay on his horse's head mountain and chatted for a long time. Zhu Pingan also read the outline through lip language. The thousand li horses I bought in the Northwest, if I don’t live up to it this time, I’ll burn you in the red. If you help me get a good ranking, I’ll buy ten or eight water spirit mares for you...
Coercion and temptation, radish and stick, hehe, is Fatty Zhou very slippery? The only question is, can the horse understand you!
During the rest, everyone fed the horses with grass and water, and Fatty Zhou even gave his horse a massage, but Zhu Ping'an was more casual, leading the flatter under the tree and letting it gnaw Some grass and leaf buds.
After resting for about half an hour, people have adjusted to the best condition, and the horsepower is also sufficient, so everyone leads the horses to the starting place one after another.
The starting place chosen by everyone is a gentle hillside. The hillside extends for hundreds of meters, and at the end of the hundreds of meters is a small road.
Although there are a large number of people, this hillside is enough for everyone to drive horses together, and the starting line is considered fair. As for the path ahead, which is only big enough for two or three horses, it will be up to each person at that time.
"Hahaha, Fatty Zhou, you dare to race horses like a fat pig, why bother, when the time comes, you will be the last one to enter the garden."
On the starting hillside, a noble boy who was familiar with Fatty Zhou pointed at Fatty Zhou's lump of meat and laughed.
After this person laughed, many honorable children around him also laughed at Fatty Zhou. Because of Zhou Fatty's fat body, Zhou Fatty has raced horses against them many times. Except for a few occasions, the rest basically always ran at the back every time, and even the horses under his crotch were tired a few times. Foaming at the mouth and rolling eyes.
"Fuck you, monkey boy, wait to eat the dust of Laozhi." Fatty Zhou raised his head and cursed back, then patted the horse under his crotch and boasted, "I know that the horse under Laozhi's crotch is not, Northwest The well-known hard-earned horses are not its opponents."
"Pull it down, last time there was a horse that you said was a descendant of Luma, and it was still left behind. How about it, don't admit defeat, okay, dare to raise the bet, we lost The person who won the prize will give a girl's school book for a month." The second generation of nobles who was familiar with Fatty Zhou laughed provocatively.
"If you add it, you can add it, whoever is afraid of it." Zhou Fat raised his head to accept the challenge, his face was full of confidence, full of confidence in the horse he bought with a lot of money.
Compared to the eagerness of the crowd, Zhu Ping'an was much calmer. He drove the horse and mixed in the crowd, completely in a soy sauce mentality, which was in stark contrast to Zhou Fatty, who was blushing and had a thick neck.
