Chapter 165: Promise

Chapter 165 Heavy Promise

"you say!"

"Mr. Yang said that the mare bought by the eldest girl is a wild horse, which is very rare. If the girl has a good foal in the future, the Chenjun Palace will choose it first."

"What's the matter, if the king of Chen County likes it, so what if I give it away for nothing!" Xie Zhi smiled, and she was really surprised when she saw the ten fine horses.

"Miss Wei, fifty taels of silver for one horse, fourth uncle is willing to sell one hundred taels of silver for fourth uncle." Xie Jibai stepped forward, and he took a fancy to a snow-white horse.

Xie Zhiwei looked at the cousins ​​who gathered around him, and suddenly had a headache, and said to Guan Shi angrily, "Look, see if you have a good one in the future, dare you take it home? Daddy also said, this Hequ How rare are horses, look, how many horses can I keep?"

The faces of the cousins ​​showed joy. Xie Mingyuan, who had asked Xie Zhiwei for a horse before, yelled, "Guan Tong, I want to get a horse. I will treat you to a drink some other day!"

Although Tong Guanshi was punished, he also knew that the eldest girl was just talking for fun and didn't really blame her, so she smiled and said, "It's because the slave didn't think carefully, and the slave is afraid that the fifth young master will remember it, so he hurriedly sent it home first." .”

Xie Mingxi was feeding the foal with a piece of caramel. The mare was lovingly licking the foal and combing its soft fur. A picture of tranquility and happiness deeply touched Xie Yuanbai's heart.

"Daddy, my sister said that my horse will be a great horse in the future? Is it true?"

"En!" Xie Yuanbai looked at the affectionate pair of horses and said softly, "Yes, this is indeed a thousand-mile horse. When it grows to two or three years old, it must be very handsome!"

"My sister gave it to me!" Xie Mingxi said proudly.

The father and son were talking affectionately, when Xie Yuanbai heard Xie Zhiwei calling him, "My father will pick these horses first, and you will pick them after you finish picking them."

Xie Yuanbai hurried over, only to find out that Xie Zhiwei promised four cousins, each with a horse, he couldn't help being surprised, is her daughter so grand? He smiled and said, "Mei Mei, then Daddy will not be polite, but Daddy will never want your horse for nothing."

"Daddy, didn't you give your daughter a horse farm?" Xie Zhi smiled.

"That doesn't count, that racecourse was originally left by your mother. Sooner or later, it will be yours. Dad just helped you keep it."

"The daughter made a request, and it doesn't count as father wanting his daughter's horse in vain."

Xie Yuanbai looked at his daughter with a smile, couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and gently stroked his daughter's temples with his broad palm, "Okay, tell me!"

"Daughter, we'll talk about it later!"

Xie Yuanbai picked out a maroon one, and there were eight horses left. The four of Xie Mingcheng and his brothers circled around the eight horses. They didn't know which one to choose. Xie Mingyuan couldn't help asking Said, "Big sister, help me choose the best one!"

"These horses are all very good, and none of them are bad. When it comes to picking horses, I can only say that it depends on fate. You can choose whichever horse suits your eyes."

Just as he was talking, Xie Tiao came back. When he asked, he knew how many horses his eldest granddaughter had given to his younger brother. He couldn't help being very happy, and said with a smile, "This is a good horse that can't be bought with money. With the support of your eldest sister , it seems that if you ride and shoot, you will all be able to come out on top in the future!"

"Father, shouldn't the family build a racecourse?" Xie Jibai was scrubbing his beloved horse, he was ready to move, but if he wanted to run a horse, he had to go outside, which was really inconvenient.

Xie Zhongbai also happened to go to the Yamen, and the bustle here followed. He happened to hear Xie Jibai's words. He glanced at Xie Yuanbai, saw Xie Yuanbai's eyes lit up, and hurriedly said, "Father, the barren yard next door was also for The Ji Fan family bought it at a high price, and the house there has been deserted. It was said to be useless at first, but now, according to his son's opinion, it is better to come out separately and build a racecourse. "

"Okay, okay, and build an archery range, the same as the Chenjun Prince's Mansion." Xie Mingxi clapped his hands and said happily.

"Fifth brother, did you ever go to Chenjun Wangfu to shoot arrows? Who taught you?" asked the boss Xie Mingcheng.

"Prince Chenjun taught me riding and archery. I haven't been there for a long time. Sister, when will you send me to learn again? I have been squatting obediently for the past few days, and I can squat for a cup of tea." Xie Mingxi said After finishing, he squatted down and showed Xie Zhiwei, it was quite standard.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to ask, but now that Daddy is back, why don't you say follow Daddy's example?"

Xie Yuanbai looked at the pair of sons and daughters, "If your younger brother learns from me, he won't be able to learn well. Have you ever seen a well-educated Confucianist teach his own children well? He learns from me, and it may be rare for him to learn well."

Xie Zhiwei is so smart, you can understand it as soon as you hear it, don't talk about anything else, just talking about squatting is a hard job, if the younger brother can't hold on, someone else can be more ruthless, but I'm afraid my father will feel distressed .

She laughed, "Okay, I'll ask someone to ask the county prince when he will be free to teach you. If he is not free, he should introduce you to a reliable master."

"Sister, you should send someone to talk about it now." Xie Mingxi took Xie Zhiwei's hand, shaking it, looking at Xie Zhiwei's small face full of anticipation.

Xie Zhiwei couldn't bear to refuse, so he told Guanshi Tong, "Guard Tong, send someone to Prince Xiang's Mansion, and tell the fifth young master to ask when the master of the county king will teach him riding and archery, and the class has been empty for several days."

Originally, this was considered rude, but as long as Xie Zhiwei thought of Xiao Xun and Mu Guihong singing and fooling her siblings in the weapon shop that day, she didn't want to let him go.

She wants to see if this person is a big promise, and she can also judge from this, whether he has fulfilled what he last promised to herself in the previous life?

After the masters and young masters of the Xie family finished picking the horses, Xie Yuanbai stayed here to teach his younger brothers and nephews how to take care of their horses, "You must not leave your horses to the grooms and leave nothing behind. Start brushing the horses..."

Xie Tiao looked at it for a while, then walked away from the stable, and called Xie Zhiwei, "Miss Wei, let's go and sit in grandfather's study for a while, and play chess with grandfather."

Only then did the grandfather and grandson walk to the door of Qijianzhai, and when they met Jin Nanny, she came up to greet them, and saluted Xie Tiao, "Old Master, the old lady has something to ask the old lady to come to Chunhui Hall."

Not wanting to embarrass his granddaughter, Xie Tiao touched the chin under his jaw, restrained his temper, and said to Xie Zhiwei, "Grandfather will look for you some other time!"

"Grandfather goes to work first, granddaughter is leaving!" Xie Zhiweifu sent Xie Tiao off, looking at his grandfather's slightly hunched back, she was filled with bitterness, she roughly knew what kind of monster the old lady wanted to be, and she was also full of it anger.
