The busty female secretary came over, collected the newspapers, and put them in the newspaper basket.
Brothers Ye Kai and Ye Jianhuan went to the racecourse. At this time, Ye Jianhuan's horse named Coco had been washed clean, with shiny coat, well-proportioned figure and extraordinary momentum. Once he stood there, he could show a kind of
Come with the spirit of excellence.
"It's indeed a good horse!" Although Ye Kai didn't quite understand this, he couldn't help but praise the horse after seeing it.
Following Ye Jianhuan's instructions, Ye Kai walked over slowly, then gently stroked Coco's neck with his hands, helping to smooth out the mane, and then gently patted the horse's back and side for a while.
Coco snorted a few times and seemed to be enjoying herself.
Ye Jianhuan looked at it and said to Ye Kai, "It's okay, it doesn't hate you."
"Is this a mare?" Ye Kai asked.
I feel that the name coco is generally a nickname for girls in English, just like the later singer Coco Li whom Ye Kai knew, as well as Xie Xian’s little girlfriend, and Taiwanese female anchor Chen Shuwan, their English names are all
It’s called Coco, and even the name of the founder of the French Chanel brand is Coco Chanel.
Because of this, Ye Kai asked Ye Jianhuan that the horse should be a mare.
"You can see for yourself." Ye Jianhuan replied with a smile.
Ye Kai lowered his head and glanced down, and sure enough he didn't see the one with the handle.
"The mare is more docile and has a stronger sense of control." Ye Jianhuan said to Ye Kai.
In regular equestrian events, riders usually choose geldings to participate in equestrian events. Mares with overly docile personalities are rarely used by riders to compete.
In polo matches, 80% of the horses are mares and only 20% are male horses. This is because polo horses need to have good speed, endurance and flexibility, especially a docile temper, otherwise they are easily frightened in fierce confrontations.
Loss of control can cause accidents, so polo ponies generally use female horses.
Ye Jianhuan signaled Ye Kai to get on the horse, then held the reins to let him experience the feeling of riding a horse, and gave him pointers on the essentials of riding a horse from time to time.
"Psychologically, the only way to solve the fear of falling is to relax your body and feel the rhythm of the horse. This is the same as learning to swim. You need to feel like a horse. Once you have the feeling, the problem of balance will follow.
Solved, I can feel your posture changing with the ups and downs of the horse." Ye Jianhuan said to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai followed Ye Jianhuan's instructions and slowly experienced the feeling on the horse. He had a good sense of balance and it didn't take long for him to adapt.
"Yes. In terms of the essentials of the action, you need to know that you don't need to use the strength of your legs and knees to clamp the horse. Instead, you should use your calves and thighs to stick to the horse so that it can feel your ups and downs, which also protects your own balance.
." Ye Jiankai nodded and praised after seeing it. "This is just like ballroom dancing. Horses are very sensitive animals. Just stick to it and give some hints."
"When trotting, it can feel that you are closely following the ups and downs, constantly receiving this signal, and stimulating it to maintain a constant speed. There must be no downward force on the soles of the feet to help the body sit up." Ye Jianhuan added, "The human body's
Sitting up is achieved by the ups and downs of the horse. The part that exerts force is the friction between the waist and the inside of the legs and the horse. This feeling can be experienced by taking off the pedals. The heels and shoulders are in the same straight line, and the toes are turned up. The center of gravity
Put it on your heels."
Ye Kai experienced the key points explained by Ye Jianhuan, and it was indeed very useful.
He felt that at least the upper body should be straight. Just like the posture of jumping the national standard, hold the reins with both hands as far forward as possible. The two fists should face each other, and the rein should be long enough to feel it.
The rider's attitude toward the horse must be equal parts kindness and power. When the horse has a bad temper, he must be a little harsh and show it some color. If the horse is obedient, he can also give it a little massage to show comfort.
"One thing is very important. When a horse stumbles, don't hug the horse's neck." Ye Jianhuan warned, "When a horse stumbles, it's mostly because the horse's front legs are weak or the front legs are stuck, and it has stepped on something.
At this time, the horse's front legs are already overwhelmed, and holding the horse's neck again will put more pressure on the horse's front legs, which may actually cause the horse to flip over."
"What should we do?" Ye Kai asked.
"You should hold the reins in time and tilt the center of gravity back, so that the horse's neck can use the force and the horse's front legs will stand up again." Ye Jianhuan replied.
Ye Kai rode his horse for two laps in the racecourse, and then gradually mastered some essentials. He sped up and ran a few laps, feeling a little sweaty on his body, and the horse's breath seemed to be quickening.
Then it stopped.
"Yes, it's very rare that I didn't fall off when I was riding a horse for the first time." Ye Jianhuan commented with a smile.
"It's mainly because of your guidance, boss. This horse is also a meritorious official." Ye Kai said with a smile.
Ye Jianhuan felt very happy after hearing this, and took Ye Kai to see his other good horses.
When I got home, it was already evening.
As usual, there was no one at home. Ye Ziping had already returned to Mingzhu. As usual, Mr. Ye and the second Mr. Ye would not come back. They were all staying in the palace or at the Military Commission. Ye Jianhuan also went to have fun and have a good time, leaving only Ye Kai.
At home, I was thinking about traveling to Russia.
As a result, Commander Wang's daughter Wang Luodan came to the door early the next morning.
Looking at Wang Luodan in casual clothes, Ye Kai didn't recognize her for a moment, and it took him a while to realize who she was.
"What are you going to do?" Ye Kai couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Wang Luodan dragging his suitcase and looking like he was going on a long trip.
"My dad said that now I am your soldier. I will follow you every step of the way and accept your orders until the secret operation is completed." Wang Luodan replied expressionlessly.
"Commander Wang really said that?" Although Ye Kai didn't doubt that Commander Wang had said such a thing, he was deeply suspicious of Wang Luodan's current actions.
The sudden addition of such a tail made it somewhat inconvenient for him to do things.
"In that case, let's stay at my house first. We're leaving soon anyway." Ye Kai said helplessly.
Ye Kai always felt a little inconvenient to have such an extra guest, especially since the guest room at home was sufficient, but because no one was staying recently, there was no need to turn on the stove. But with Wang Luodan's arrival, he had to
After cooking, I always eat food from outside, which is not very appetizing.
After Ye Kai arranged Wang Luodan's affairs, he noticed that she had actually changed into a Chanel summer dress. Although it looked ordinary at first glance, if you look closely, you can see that the details of the design are indeed different from the popular ones.
Looking at the other items she wore, they were all of the same Chanel brand, and even the scent of the perfume was the classic Chanel No. 5.
"You like Chanel very much?" Ye Kai asked casually.
"Well, I feel like Chanel is always at the forefront of fashion, but I rarely have the opportunity to wear these clothes." Wang Luodan replied calmly.
She usually wears a military uniform in the military camp, and due to the nature of her work, she usually goes on warships to perform tasks. Even if she buys these beautiful clothes, she may not have the chance to spread the word.
This time Commander Wang ordered her to follow Ye Kai to Russia, which was a good opportunity to get rid of the military uniform.
So Wang Luodan's suitcase contained all the beautiful clothes, except for the military uniforms.
"Actually, there are advantages to wearing military uniforms." Ye Kai couldn't help but said as he thought of Wang Luodan wearing a navy uniform that day.
A man can't resist the temptation of uniforms. It seems that Wang Luodan is still a young boy who doesn't understand these things and doesn't know how to capture a man's heart!
"Do you know Chanel?" Ye Kai suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Wang Luodan frowned immediately after hearing this, not understanding what Ye Kai meant.
"Although Chanel is the queen of fashion, she is also a Nazi spy." Ye Kai made another shocking statement.
"Are you talking nonsense? How is this possible?" Wang Luodan opened his eyes wide, obviously not believing it.
"During World War II, Chanel worked for the Nazi SS. General Walter Schellenberg, who was in charge of Nazi Germany's foreign intelligence work at that time, gave Chanel the codename "Popular Hat." Ye Kai told Wang Luodan.
, "The Nazis used a beauty trick against her, conquered the Parisian fashion queen, used her influence, and even communicated secretly with Britain's first choice, Churchill. Later, after the end of World War II, this matter was revealed, and Chanel almost fell into the trap.
Prison, it was Churchill who said hello and the matter was resolved."
What Ye Kai said is of course true. In fact, Chanel was already sixty years old at the time. When she was interrogated and asked why she lived with the Nazis, Chanel sneered and said, "No one of my age can
If a woman is lucky enough to find a lover for herself, will she still look at his passport..."
These words were so sharp that the interrogators at the time were shocked.
But then again, Chanel's charm is indeed endless. At the age of 37, she charmed the Grand Duke of Russia. At the age of 45, Chanel successfully attracted the most attractive bachelor in Europe, Westminster
The Duke fell under his pomegranate skirt. The Duke of Westminster is the richest and most influential person in Britain.
The Duke of Westminster gave her precious jewelry that even the Queen of England did not own, and bought her a mansion in London... Not only that, the Duke of Westminster, who was fascinated by Coco, also rented Eton House.
Palace, where hundreds of gardeners decorate Chanel's rooms with roses and orchids all year round.
This love affair that shocked the whole of Europe lasted for several years, but in the end Chanel failed to become a duchess. The reason was simple because Chanel was no longer able to have children. However, this love affair provided her with the opportunity to enter the upper class society of England and France.
.
"What a charming woman, no wonder she became the queen of fashion." After Wang Luodan heard this, he didn't care at all about Chanel's identity as a Nazi spy, but was impressed by her feminine charm.
Ye Kai immediately rolled his eyes and said to himself that if you want to discuss politics with a woman, that is really asking for trouble.
