If you want to go outing and play in the mountains, you need to bring a lot of things. Chen Xun also changed out of her complicated clothes and put on a clean and neat Hufu.
Her hairstyle was also changed to a ponytail. She had her thick long hair tied into a ponytail. Of course, she also put it into a ponytail a few times so that it would not be too long to hinder her movements.
There is no makeup on her face. She only puts on makeup when she goes out or when there is something important that requires her to appear.
"Eighth Princess, Long'er, is leaving." Chen Yu came to the courtyard where Yan Long lived and shouted, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early to stroll around for a while.
"Okay, here we go." Yan Long also changed into a Hufu similar to Chen Yu's to make it easier for her to climb mountains, and her hairstyle was also changed into a ponytail.
Chen Xun didn't plan to take Cuiyu and the others out with her this time. Anyway, the man she went out with was her cheap husband and Yan Long's biological brother. Why did she insist on taking the maid with her to avoid suspicion?
The defense of men and women in the Great Yong Dynasty was not that serious, so Chen Xun asked Cuiyu and Cuiju to stay busy in the village, and she went out with Yan Long.
"I've never ridden a horse." Chen Yu, who came out with Yan Long, looked at the tall horse in front of him and looked at Yan Lizhou speechlessly.
She grew up in Chenjiacun, and she had just returned to Chang'an not long ago. During this period of winter, she had not practiced horseback riding, so what should she do?
Yan Lizhou looked at her after hearing this. He originally thought that she would have learned to ride a horse if she had been taught by several masters when she was in Chenjiacun. But she actually said frankly that she had never ridden before, which was beyond his expectation.
"Sister-in-law, how about riding with me?" Yan Long had already got on the horse and said naturally after hearing Chen Yu's words.
As a princess, Yan Long is not the favored daughter of Emperor Yun Zhao, but her course schedule is also very full. Her biological mother, Concubine Yun Guifei, was born as a general, and her brother also joined the army early. She also has to learn riding and shooting.
.
Yan Long's riding, archery and martial arts were something that Concubine Yun insisted on learning. She hoped that her daughter would be healthy and know more things, and would not restrict her from learning riding, shooting and martial arts just because she wanted a quiet daughter.
Martial arts.
Therefore, it is completely okay for Yan Long to take Chen Xun on horseback, and her riding skills are also very good.
"Okay." Chen Yun agreed cheerfully. She just couldn't ride a horse, so she would be happy to have someone with the basic skills to guide her.
Yan Long held the reins in one hand and reached out to Chen Yu with the other. Chen Yu reached out to hold her hand, stepped on the pedals, then turned over and sat behind Yan Long.
"Fortunately, your saddle can accommodate two people." Chen Yu said after sitting firmly.
That’s right, what’s the biggest obstacle in sharing a ride? Is it whether the saddle can accommodate two people? If only one person can sit in the saddle, what about the other one? On the horse or on the edge of the saddle? It’s an absolute pleasure
Uncomfortable.
"Haha..." Yan Long laughed when he heard this, "Sister-in-law, your focus is quite strange."
Yan Lizhou, who was riding a black horse beside him, glanced at their sisters-in-law and said nothing, nor did he say that Yan Long's saddle was the double saddle he had prepared.
Of course, when he prepared the double saddle, he was not sure that Chen Yun could not ride a horse, but made two preparations. If she really didn't know how, she could ride with Yan Long.
"Let's go." Yan Lizhou said when he saw that they were already sitting firmly.
Chen Yun hugged Yan Long's waist and said, "Let's go, let's go, it's getting late."
Yan Long was hugged around the waist and shrank unaccustomedly, but still tried to calm down and said, "Okay."
As she spoke, Yan Long started to spur the horse to run. At the beginning, she took into account that her sister-in-law did not know how to ride a horse and it was probably her first time riding a horse, so the speed of the horse was not very fast.
Yan Long and Chen Yun took the first step, followed by Yan Lizhou, who also urged his dark horse to follow, and the other guards also followed them.
Catalpa Mountain is a mountain that stretches for nearly ten miles. The main peak is not very high and is several hundred meters away from Hanye Peak. There are many catalpa trees growing here, but there is still a lot of land suitable for planting.
, so there are many noble people here coming to develop farms.
Just like the Zhuangzi in Chen Xun's hands, it was originally bought by the Pingyang Marquis Mansion from others, and it was developed into farmland long ago.
There are many catalpa trees growing in Catalpa Mountain, but it is not the time for the catalpa trees to bloom yet. They bloom in April and May every year, attracting many people to come and enjoy the flowers.
Of course, in addition to catalpa trees, there are also many rhododendrons, crabapples and other plants growing here in Catalpa Mountain, which are also very beautiful when they bloom.
Chen Xun sat behind Yan Long and looked around. After spring arrived, a lot of green began to grow. At this time, some flowers and plants that had not withered in the winter bloomed, but some had just grown.
.
For example, the shepherd's purse that Chen Xun wants to eat has just grown tender and tender, which is the season for eating it. In addition to shepherd's purse, there are many wild vegetables that can be eaten in spring.
Chen Xun has very good eyesight. When she was riding by, she even saw tender nightshades growing in the grass on the roadside.
The plant Solanum nigrum is a common herbal medicine, but it is basically quite common and everyone thinks of it as a weed or something like that.
Chen Xun's former host and her family liked to call nightshade nightshade as white cauliflower in their hometown. Chen Xun's previous host also called nightshade nightshade "button black" when translated directly from their Miao dialect into Mandarin. This
It's a literal translation.
Chen Xun had seen her host when she was working as a system worker, and the people in her hometown also liked to eat this kind of food.
Tender nightshades grow in farmland or on the edge of field ridges, on the roadside, under betel nut trees, or in the mountains and forests. You can pick them and eat them stir-fried or boiled into soup, or boiled and eaten when eating hot pot.
of.
Of course, Chen Yun saw a small cluster of nightshades. They were too small, only about seven centimeters in size. Even if she asked Yan Long to stop and pick them, she couldn't pick more than two bites.
, and had no intention of stopping.
There are also a lot of lilacs growing here in Qiushan. Some lilacs originally grew here, and some were planted by people who enclosed the land here. After all, lilacs can be made into spices or used as medicine, and growing some is profitable.
.
So after the lilacs in Chushan bloom, the pink and purple colors all over the mountain are really beautiful.
Chen Xun and the others also passed by someone else's village. The most cultivated pear trees in that village were white pear blossoms.
When the flowers are in full bloom in the spring, Chen Xin really likes them. The colors are beautiful and the smell is delicious.
The aunt and sister-in-law rode across two or three Zhuangzi, and then arrived at the main peak of Catalpa Mountain. They stopped at the foot of the mountain and waited for Yan Lizhou and the others to come over.
"Are we going to climb this mountain today?" Chen Xun took a look at the mountain, which was about a thousand meters above sea level. It was not as steep as Hanye Peak, with a large main peak and a very gentle slope.
Are they going to climb this mountain today? Are there any good things on the mountain?
