Qiao Niang never had a long memory. She had just been punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall for a few days, but she became restless again.

On this day, Cheng Yu was sleeping at home.

Cheng Yu lived in Yiluju in the west courtyard. There were green bamboos in front of the courtyard. Qiao Niang took Jiao Niang into the hanging flower door and heard the sound of martial arts practice behind the screen wall.

"Cousin!" Qiao Niang stuck her head out and called out beautifully.

Cheng Yu looked up, smiled, put away his sword, and gave it to the attendant.

"Why are you here?" He wiped the sweat from his head with a cloth.

"Why, I can't come? Not only did I come, but I also brought someone with me." Qiao Niang jumped out from behind the screen wall and pulled the girl behind her to the front.

Jiao Niang glared at her, then used her as a shield, then saluted Cheng Yu, "Hello, cousin Yu."

Cheng Yu's eyes were filled with surprise and his earlobes were red, "My cousin, you are here too." He was at a loss for a moment and couldn't think of what to do, so he just stood there stupidly.

Qiao Niang said: "I am here to be a guest. You are a very arrogant master. Why don't you invite people to come in and sit down?"

Cheng Yu was in a panic and hurriedly went to the main room, "Please, please, Ganoderma lucidum, go and serve tea quickly, and use the Yuqian Longjing that King Xiang rewarded a few days ago." Hearing that voice, one could tell how happy he was.

Qiao Niang chuckled, led Jiao Niang in, and joked: "My cousin is biased. Normally when I come here, you wouldn't make such good tea."

Cheng Yu blushed all the way from his ears to his face. Fortunately, he had just finished practicing martial arts and couldn't see anything strange. "No, it's just that you don't usually like to drink." Unexpectedly, he looked at Jiao Niang, and he hurriedly looked away.

I felt my heart beating wildly, so I whispered to the people around me: "I encourage you to learn, go get a basin of cold water."

I washed my face again, wiped it clean, and then entered the house.

Cheng Yu is not like an ordinary martial artist, who is dark and burly, but looks like a handsome nobleman. He is wrapped in black clothes and his body looks thin but strong.

He has good eyebrows, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, which are very heroic. There is a ridge in the middle of his chin, which softens his sharp features.

Jiao Niang heard from Qiao Niang that the Cheng family was originally a general, but unfortunately his father died in a battle. When his mother heard the news, she hanged herself and followed him, leaving him and the seven-year-old Cheng Su behind, which was a pity.

He sat opposite Qiao Niang, but his eyes never left Jiao Niang, "What are you two cousins ​​doing here?"

"You can't come if you have nothing to do?" Qiao Niang stood up, looked around and touched here and there. There was a sword on the desk. She took it down and flicked the blade, making a crisp sound, like a sound coming from outside.

"Don't make any noise."

Jiao Niang and Cheng Yu said in unison and looked at each other. Cheng Yu stood up and put the knife back on the shelf, "Don't move around here, or you may hurt yourself." His voice became clearer and gentler, and he treated Qiao Niang like a child.

Qiao Niang curled her lips and went straight to the point, "Jiao Niang and I want to ride horses, can you take us out?" Ever since the last time she led Jiao Niang to Wenrou Village disguised as a man, Mr. Hua had explicitly prohibited her from going out privately.

"This——" Cheng Yu was also in a dilemma.

Qiao Niang grabbed his arm and shook it, "Good brother, I haven't been out for a while, so why don't you take us out to have some fun? I promise not to get into trouble." She vowed, holding up three fingers.

Seeing Cheng Yu's hesitation, he started talking about Jiao Niang, "It doesn't really matter if I don't go out, but think about it, Jiao Niang is stuck at home with me, how boring it is. You don't want her to be a guest and just stay at home, right?

.”

Jiao Niang opened her mouth and wanted to say that she shouldn't embarrass her cousin. Besides, she didn't mind being idle at home at all, but she would never dare to ride a horse.

But she saw Qiao Niang winking at her so hard that her eyes almost cramped, "Jiao Niang, do you also want to go out and play?"

Cheng Yu looked at her and said in a gentle voice, as if he was afraid of scaring her, "Really?"

Jiao Niang looked at Qiao Niang's eager look, finally nodded, and said anxiously: "It's okay if it's inconvenient."

I thought Cheng Yu would refuse, but I just heard him smile softly, "It doesn't matter, I'm free anyway."

Jiao Niang was slightly surprised and raised her eyes to look at him, only to see a smile in his eyes and looking at her. But at that moment, she seemed to have seen something wrong. She blinked and he was already looking away.

The Hua family has their own horse farm, which is five miles outside the city. There are more than a dozen horses, which are tended by dedicated personnel every day. When the people at the horse farm saw that the young master and girl of the Hua family were there, they did not dare to neglect them and picked out a few horses early.

the best.

Qiao Niang caught her eye at a glance and saw a horse with a brown mane. She jumped on it and turned to look at Jiao Niang who was standing far away. "Hurry up and get on the horse."

Jiao Niang shook her head. She had never ridden a horse before and didn't dare to ride. "I can't ride a horse." She glanced at Cheng Yu secretly. She had helped Qiao Niang lie to him before.

Cheng Yu actually knew it was Qiao Niang's idea early on, "It turns out that you wanted to go crazy and used others as a cover."

Qiao Niang stuck out her tongue to avoid being scolded and ran away quickly, "Hurry up and get on your horse, I'll go first." After saying that, she rode away.

Cheng Yu pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, then went to the stable to pick out a young pony and returned, "This horse has a docile personality. If you ride on it, it won't hurt you."

The foal was all white, like silver threads under the sunlight. It rubbed against Cheng Yu's body first, and then lowered its head to eat grass. It looked indeed docile and harmless.

But Jiao Niang was still worried. She bit her lip and shook her head. She wanted to be brave and step forward, but she was too timid to step forward.

Suddenly, the horse shook its head and made a strange noise from its nasal cavity. The girl was so frightened that she thought it was going to kick someone, so she hurriedly ran behind Cheng Yu and grabbed his clothes tightly.

Cheng Yu looked at the hands and felt that the fingers seemed to have passed through the clothes and were imprinted on his skin, which was hot. He calmed down and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a sneeze."

Jiao Niang suddenly realized and let go of her hand. When she let go, Cheng Yu felt sad and lost.

"You try to ride on it, it is very obedient." Cheng Yu continued to encourage Jiao Niang, "This way, you ride on it and I will hold the horse for you."

The girl nodded, mustered up her courage, stepped on the horse, and rode on.

This was her first time riding a horse, and it felt very different. She put her hands on the horse's back and touched the horse's warm skin, feeling surprised and delighted.

Cheng Yu looked at her, seeing her beautiful smile, and felt soft in his heart, as if he was willing to do anything for her just to protect her smile. He patted his horse gently and said, "Let's go."

Jiao Niang looked at the boundless pasture, as if her heart was filled with green. The sunset had just set on the horizon, and she could see it directly. It was different from the sunset seen in the small courtyard.
