Zhao Xueli was reluctant to let his daughter do such menial work, but Zhao Luoyang was not shy about doing it.
When Master Zheng Yi and his apprentice arrived at the racecourse, they saw Zhao Luoyang rolling up his sleeves and bending down to help everyone put horse manure into the basket. He was as agile as a young man, and he had his hands free, and he also knew how to guide the people next to him.
People do things.
Zheng Yi lamented that he didn't know how the Zhao family raised their daughter, but now she seems to be capable of both literary and martial arts, and no matter what she does, she always has a smile on her face, which makes people feel bright at the sight of her.
These people worked enthusiastically and quickly cleared a place.
"Mr. Zheng," the steward immediately came over and said with a smile, "these people you found are really good. They are willing to work hard. They didn't ask how much money they had when they came. They just worked hard."
Zheng Yidao: "I saw that several people have been working hard these past two days. All the girls from his family helped me yesterday, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth, so I asked for help."
"That's right," the steward said, "I wanted to give the girl some money yesterday, but she still refused to accept it."
After the steward said this, his eyes turned to Zhao Luoyang again: "It will not be easy for the people to relocate this year. A girl at such a young age has to travel around."
Zheng Yi nodded and told his apprentice: "Go and call the Zhao girl over, ask her to clean her hands, and come with me to see the horses."
The apprentice responded.
After a while, Zhao Luoyang was called over.
Zheng Yidao: "Let's go. Do you have time to read the book I gave you yesterday?"
Zhao Luoyang replied: "It got dark last night, so I watched the stove fire for a while, and then again when I got up in the morning. I've already read half of "The Collection of Horse Therapy."
Before Zheng Yi could say anything, the apprentice next to him already said: "You only read half of it in one night? Do you know all the words on it? Really?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "There are a few words that look strange to me. I have already asked my father for help. The rest seems to be very smooth."
The apprentice couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this: "Then your family is all scholars, how could you end up like this?"
Zhao Luoyang was silent for a long time before saying: "I was tricked by my own family, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. But it's just this once, and it will never happen again in the future."
Zheng Yi nodded secretly and asked his apprentice: "How is the young colt?"
The apprentice immediately said: "He is strong and can feed well. I covered him with hay at night and he looks energetic today. Master, this is a good horse."
Zheng Yi nodded and sighed again when he thought of something.
Zhao Luoyang said: "What's wrong, sir?"
Zheng Yidao: "This is a colt from a foreign horse. The horses raised by foreign horses are getting better and better, but our place is getting worse and worse. Not to mention how many cavalry there are, what is the use of cavalry without horses?"
Zheng Yi shook his head, and after a while he let out a long sigh: "You don't have to worry about this, I'm just talking about it. People like us can't handle these big things."
Zhao Luoyang listened to Zheng Yi's words and said softly for a long time: "Maybe one day, we can raise many strong war horses on our pasture."
Zheng Yi smiled again: "I hope so!"
He has seen too much, and he doesn't know if his skills can still be used, let alone whether he can see that day.
He was full of energy back then, but now it's just a waste of time. That's why he won't treat the animals of merchants whose origins are unknown. He heard that those people buy and sell horses privately, and he hates these people deeply.
Zheng Yi went to see the foal, touched it with his own hands, and measured its length. His eyes were full of love and care.
Zhao Luoyang followed Zheng Yi and checked the horses in the racecourse. He felt that it was almost time, so he found an excuse and walked away.
"Shi Jiu," Zhao Luoyang said, "have you seen that Mr. Zheng also thinks this horse is good?"
"It's good," Shi Jiu said. "It's a pity that it can't go where it should go. Such a horse cannot go to the battlefield. It can only become a show-off for high-ranking officials, and it is useless to raise it."
Zhao Luoyang felt that every time Shi Jiu mentioned matters related to the imperial court, his words were always very thorough.
Zhao Luoyang said: "With people like Sun Ji here, how can we raise war horses?"
If Sun Ji is captured, will the situation at the racecourse be better in the future?
Of course, it's useless to think about all this now, you still have to take care of the things in front of you.
Zhao Luoyang said: "We are going to Qin's house soon, and we have to make some preparations."
Shi Jiu responded: "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "I wonder how Mr. Song is doing, and whether he has talked to Mr. Qin."
Shi Jiu said: "Since Mr. Song said there is a way, he should be able to do it. However, in just a few days, it will not be easy for Mr. Qin to completely trust him and hide it from Qin Tongpan. After all, they are father and son."
Zhao Luoyang naturally felt that what Shi Jiu said was right: "That's why I have to go and help."
After finishing speaking, she paused intentionally: "You said that if sir can't do it, then who can persuade the Qin family uncle? Let the Qin family uncle help us without hesitation?"
Shi Jiu seemed to understand something: "The Qin family's uncle wants to avenge the Kong family for the sake of Miss Kong."
Zhao Luoyang said: "So, you said...if Miss Kong came to him in person, would he agree?"
Shi Jiu was speechless for a long time because he could not refute.
Zhao Luoyang took out the recorder from the space. When she dealt with Wang Zhen yesterday, she put the recorder on Wang Zhen. She let Shi Jiu listen to it last night. She didn't gain much. She just knew that Wang Zhen
There is a village outside the city, and there are at least two guards around him.
Now this recorder has a new use.
She wanted to pretend to be Miss Kong and leave a message to the Qin family.
As long as it is released at the right time, the Qin family's uncle should believe it.
Shi Jiu said: "What do you want to record?"
Zhao Luoyang has already thought about it: "Tell the Qin family uncle about Sun Ji and Sui Ji's horse trading, and let him seize the opportunity to capture Sun Ji and avenge Miss Kong."
Now I just want to see how I want to record it.
Zhao Luoyang said: "I have to speak in the tone of Miss Kong. What do you think I should call the Qin family's uncle?"
When Zhao Luoyang was working in the Qin family, he heard that the uncle of the Qin family was called Qin Gao.
so……
"Dalang?" Zhao Luoyang said, "He lives in the family, is it right to call him that?"
Zhao Luoyang's voice was deliberately soft, and it really didn't sound like her usual speech. It sounded like a woman's softness and shyness, with some sadness mixed in.
Shi Jiu suddenly remembered that he seemed to be Xingyi, and someone seemed to have called him that.
Shi Jiu subconsciously said: "It's not very good."
"Then," Zhao Luoyang pondered, "just call him Gao Lang. There should be nothing wrong with him."
Shi Jiu frowned slightly, this "Gao Lang" was really close.
"Two people have an engagement," Zhao Luoyang said. "After all, we are different from ordinary people. There is nothing wrong with getting closer."
After Zhao Luoyang finished speaking, he found that Shi Jiu did not respond: "Do you think there is anything wrong?"
He felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure out why.
Shi Jiu said: "No."
Zhao Luoyang was happy: "Then it's settled. I'll find a place to record it, and then go to Qin's house to find a suitable opportunity to play the recording."
Zhao Luoyang made up her mind and started to do it immediately. Fortunately, the racecourse was big enough and had a lot of open space, which was suitable for her to make preparations.
After everything was settled, Zhao Luoyang left the racecourse and walked towards Qin's house.
All the way to Qin Tongpan's home, the servant guarding the door recognized Zhao Luoyang and came forward with a smile, but immediately frowned and looked Zhao Luoyang up and down: "Girl of the Zhao family, where have you been?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "I'm going to work on the horse farm. I'll give you thirty cents a day."
The servant of the Qin family hid behind without leaving any trace: "What's on your body..."
Zhao Luoyang lowered his head and smelled his clothes: "It doesn't smell like anything. I even washed my hands when I came out. Where is sir? I'll go see sir."
The servants of the Qin family couldn't stop him, so they had to say: "In... the courtyard of the wing."
Zhao Luoyang raised his feet and immediately walked towards the side room. Wherever he passed, the servants all avoided him, frowning and covering their mouths and noses.
Zhao Luoyang ignored it and went straight to the wing.
Mr. Song had just finished his meal and was reading the books Qin Gao had brought him under the lamp when he heard a noise from outside.
Without looking at the brisk footsteps, one could tell that it was his little apprentice coming.
Zhao Luoyang entered the door and called out crisply: "Mr."
Mr. Song stroked his beard and was about to nod when his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Where have you been?"
"Racecourse." Zhao Luoyang said.
So when you came here smelling like horse manure, did you have something important to tell him, or did you have other plans?
"Sir," Zhao Luoyang walked closer.
Mr. Song was about to wave people away.
Zhao Luoyang said: "We have found Sui Ji."
Mr. Song's eyes lit up.
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Now, we should take the next step."
Zhao Luoyang's eyes fell on the book in Mr. Song's hand. Qin Tongpan probably would not send books to Mr. Song, so... Mr. Song may have really won over the uncle of the Qin family.
"Sir," Zhao Luoyang smiled, with two round dimples on his face, "Will the Qin family come over tonight?"
Mr. Song frowned: "I've been here before. He smells of alcohol and will fall asleep soon. He does this every day because he can't let go of that girl from the Kong family."
Zhao Luoyang smiled slightly. It would be more convenient if he was drunk.
…
In Qin Gao's house.
Qin Gao raised his head and swallowed a glass of wine. The maid next to him wanted to persuade him, but Qin Gao said: "Go down, you don't need to serve here."
These people would turn around and tell his mother what happened in his yard, so he was tired of them.
"Everyone, get out and leave my place."
Qin Gao's voice was filled with anger, and no one around him dared to disobey, so they had to close the door and walk out.
Qin Gao was holding a handkerchief in his hand and was feeling dizzy from drinking. He couldn't do anything now, so he could only drink to drown his sorrows.
While feeling dizzy, Qin Gao seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing, and the window next to him opened.
Then a voice sounded.
"Gao Lang..."
"Gao Lang...do you remember who I am? I am Wan'er."
Qin Gao suddenly sobered up a little. This chapter has been completed!
