Not bothering to guess the other party's intentions, he glanced at the clothes in the box a few times and then sat back on the bed. Ah Shang rummaged around in the box for a while, and finally picked out a set of light blue cotton clothes and murmured, "Miss
It looks best in blue." He nodded with satisfaction before handing it to Mai Mai.
blue……
The first skirt he gave her was blue. After that, it became her favorite color. She never wore it again after he left.
Looking at the light blue suit in my hand, which is comparable to the sky, my memory is instantly brought back to the days when I had him.
"Miss?" Ashang called. Every time he saw her dazed, he knew who she was thinking about without even thinking.
Hey, poor lady, hateful master, why didn’t we recognize each other earlier?
"That's it." Mai Mai smiled casually.
After changing clothes, his hair was lazily braided into two braids, and Ah Shang found a white cashmere hat.
At first glance, she looks exactly like the daughter's family on the grassland. The difference is that she is much fairer and more feminine. Without the cold dragon girl temperament, she looks like a petite and cute girl next door, lovable.
The more Ah Shang looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. He couldn't help but say, "Wow, Miss, Ah Shang can't help but want to hug you. If Ah Shang were a man, he would have fought hard to marry the lady."
"The master's abnormal behavior is really not an exaggeration at all.
Mai Mai burst out laughing, and lightly scratched the tip of her nose, "How can you still look like a Xin Su?" Ah Shang's words still made her blush.
"The lady no longer has the image of a dragon girl, why should Ashang be careful about Ansu? It's better to stay with the lady, unlike that indifferent and boring master." Realizing that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said, Ah Shang
Shang quickly changed the subject, "Miss, Shang will take you out for a walk. There is a lot of fun here."
Seeing her conscious faux pas, Mai Mai didn't point it out and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, okay."
"Then I'll call Xinye and the others."
"Just call a few people, and let the others rest more."
It was not long before Xinye, Liujiu and Xiaoyao were already waiting at the door of the room. When they saw Maimai appear, they all widened their eyes in surprise, never expecting that the noble and elegant Lady Long could be like this.
When I planted Xiaojiabiyu, it seemed that they still liked her as she was now. She looked like a bright woman in her twenties and eighties.
Ah Shang brought some horses, "Miss, would you like to have the same horse as Ah Shang?"
Seeing a few people getting on their horses neatly, Mai Madan felt a little itchy, "A Shang, can I try riding a snow goose?" Last night, he had taught her how to ride a horse, and she really wanted to experience it again.
A thrilling feeling of concentration.
"Uh, miss, you're not very good at riding yet. What if you get injured?" Ah Shang was a little confused. Even if the master taught her a little bit last night, how could she learn it in just an hour? Besides,
, the target is still the bad-tempered Xue Yan.
"Xin," not far away, Yi Su walked over with steady steps and saluted Mai Mai first, "I have seen the mistress," and then nodded slightly to Ashang, "Let the mistress give it a try. After all,
She has to learn it sooner or later."
Ah Shang's pretty face had long turned red into a little apple. Hearing Yi's words, he didn't even have any objections. He took out the snow goose and handed it to Mai Mai. However, he still did not forget to tell him, "Miss, please stay in the castle first."
Turn around a few times, and then we'll get out of the castle if there's no problem." At least, there are so many people in the castle who can protect her.
Mai Mai hugged Xue Yan affectionately and whispered a few times. Xue Yan seemed to have accepted her fate and didn't even bother to turn her head this time. Mai Mai happily grabbed the saddle and stepped on the pedal with her left foot, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
Can't cross it.
In front of everyone, Mai Mai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at the same time she felt determined not to admit defeat. When she failed the first time, she tried her best a second time.
"Miss, Ah Shang, please help you go up." Ah Shang really couldn't stand it anymore.
"I can do it on my own." After reaching the bar, Mai Mai tried a third time. But this time, he couldn't even stand firm. His hand slipped and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Ah," everyone didn't dare to neglect and rushed over.
In an instant, a black figure as fast as lightning passed directly over the crowd, using a thin but solid chest to support her falling body. He put his arms around her waist, and then jumped up on his toes to catch her.
Place it gently on the horse's back, and then fall down gently.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing who was coming, Yisu and Ashang both took a step back in unison, but couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Mai Mai patted her heart in shock, it was so dangerous.
Wait, that’s not right!
She suddenly sat up straight, and when she turned around and saw that the person who rescued her was the guard in black from last night, her pretty face turned bright red.
"You..." Oh my god, why is her heart beating? As soon as he comes near, she becomes uncontrollably confused.
Xinye and others looked at the two of them suspiciously, no matter how they looked at them, they felt like they were old acquaintances.
"Miss, let's go." Ah Shang relieved Mai Mai's embarrassment at the right time.
"Well," Mai Mai deliberately turned his gaze away from her. He grabbed the reins and pressed the horse's belly lightly with his legs according to the method he taught last night. Snow Goose immediately took steps forward, like a noble and noble person.
Elegant gentleman.
Liujiu looked at Mai Mai in surprise as he successfully controlled the snow goose. He was in admiration and said, "Ms. Longnu is simply a god. It has only been a day and she can even ride a horse."
"Haha, maybe it should be said that someone taught me well." Ah Shang added with a smile, regardless of the presence of the man in black.
The man glanced slightly, and Ashang stuck out his tongue, but he didn't show any fear. As long as the lady is present, no matter how sharp the beast is, it will turn into an obedient little sheep. Her master is the best proof.
Mai Mai seems to be getting better and better at mastering the skills, and the excitement on his face exudes a charming glow.
"It seems that Lady Longnu can ride a horse." Xiao Yao smiled and got on the horse again, and several others also got on the horse one after another.
All women rushed out of Zhuolang Fort along with the dazzling snow goose. The man told Yi Su behind him, "Send someone to protect her."
"Yes, Master."
Several fast horses galloping on the grassland, laughing and chasing each other, but unanimously and tacitly surrounded the white horse in the middle. Mai Mai also went from being nervous when running to slowly relaxing now. It's like she was born
Just like the daughter of the grassland.
"Hey, look," Liujiu pointed to a market-like place in front of him and turned to ask Ashang, "Sister Yinren Xinsu, what is that?" Now, Ashang's identity has been revealed to everyone.
Everyone knew that she was the heart constellation, one of the twenty constellations. Even the Dragon Girl didn't say anything, and of course they didn't have anything to say. What's more, after getting along with each other during this time, everyone became very harmonious.
Ah Shang looked at it and said casually, "That's a trade fair held every five days. Everyone will bring some of their own goods here to exchange for what they need. It's very interesting. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yao loved to join in the fun. Hearing Ah Shang's words, he already felt itchy.
Xinye turned to seek Maimai's opinion, "Ms. Dragon Girl, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Looking at Xiao Yao's expectant eyes, Mai Mai smiled and nodded, "It's a good idea to go and have a look, to understand how people in Yanbei Kingdom do business." The description of Yanbei Kingdom in Wan Qixun's records is:
At the very least, there is only a simple overview, not a word about the local customs, and the development history of how to grow. Since you are going to live here for a period of time, a proper understanding is necessary.
"Let's go," Xiao Yao took the lead and rushed over first.
Several people looked at each other and smiled, and followed closely behind.
Market transactions of this nature occur every five days. The Yanbei Kingdom is not as prosperous as the Qisa Dynasty, and there are no stores like shops. In addition to being self-sufficient, the herdsmen will come to such a market to do business.
There were some transactions. Among them, there were many merchants from Qisa and Tiandu who came here to exchange rice and flour for valuables such as furs and horses.
The market is located in an open space with the largest concentration of yurts. Both sides are filled with items for exchange, ranging from cotton felts for daily necessities, scimitars, sheepskin boots, to cattle and horses, and medicinal animal bones.
.
Mai Mai and others had never seen such a market before, so they were attracted by it. Everything was new. Unexpectedly, their appearance also became the focus of this market. Unlike the healthy beauty of the prairie people, that
The whole body is full of charming softness, making them quickly become another scenery here.
Especially Mai Mai, who was wearing a cashmere hat, a blue jacket, and brown short boots. A pair of bewildering eyes slipped to both sides from time to time.
In the Yanbei Kingdom, the heroic men on the grasslands have always dared to pursue the girl they love. As long as they see the girl they like, they will find ways to let her know their feelings. Compared with the men in Qisa and Tiandu Kingdom
Come, dare to love and hate even more.
Since Mai Mai appeared, several young and handsome boys have long been attracted by her. The more they look at her, the more they appreciate her gentleness and elegance, and the bold ones immediately step forward.
Upon seeing this, Xin Ye and the other three people immediately stood in front of Mai Mai and looked at the person striding forward warily.
"Beautiful girl," a young man wearing a toga and a ribbon tied around his waist ignored the hostility of the three and knelt down on one knee towards Mai Mai, "your beauty is like the sun in the sky, which makes me sigh; your
Beauty, like the moon at night, makes me intoxicated. Please accept my blessing to the girl. I hope your beauty will always shine with the sun and the moon, illuminating my heart."
Mai Mai blinked, not understanding what he meant by this.
"Uh..." The three of them didn't understand the situation for a while. Why in the Yanbei Kingdom, before Deng Yizi teased someone, they had to recite poems and then send blessings? This must be weird.
The herdsmen nearby all looked at them with smiles and didn't take them seriously at all.
Ah Shang covered his mouth and snickered, then he leaned into the ears of a few people who didn't know why, "He is showing his love to the lady."
"Show love?!" The three of them were completely frightened by the shocking behavior. In Qisa, even if they see a girl they like, they have to ask a matchmaker to find out the girl first and confirm that she is not a match before they dare to come to propose marriage. This Yan
How about the Northern Kingdom, showing love in the street? Strong, too strong.
Mai Mai was not surprised by this, she just suddenly realized it.
Prairie people, who live so free and unrestrained, have a heart that advocates freedom, and also regard love as a part of freedom. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, but admires their courage.
The man knelt on the ground persistently, staring at Mai Mai earnestly.
"Thank you," Mai Mai smiled softly, with a very appropriate attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing. "I already have a partner." At this moment, this is the best excuse. It can not only avoid hurting the other party, but also give him a step forward.
.
"It's a pity," the young man shook his head in regret, but he stood up gracefully and blessed Mai Mai, "I hope you can be happy. This beautiful girl deserves God's favor."
"Thanks."
These are lovely prairie people, open-minded and unpretentious. They don’t mind being refuted in front of everyone, and they give their most sincere blessings to them. Mai Mai likes them more and more.
Mai Mai's answer also made several other young men present retreat. Although this was just a small episode, Mai Mai had undoubtedly become the focus of the entire market.
But at this moment, there was a noise coming from the front. Several people followed the noise and passed by.
An elderly herdsman was grabbed by the collar by a strong man. Judging from the clothes of the strong man, he did not look like a person from the Yanbei Kingdom.
"Sir, I'll give you twenty bags of rice in exchange for a cow. What's wrong? It's always been like this!"
The old man looked at the burly man in front of him and the four people standing behind him with a confused expression. He said with a little fear, "Ordinary cows are fine, but this cow already has a cow.
If there wasn't a grain of rice in the house, I wouldn't have taken it out to replace it with rice."
Mai Mai's eyes fell on the cow next to him again. There was no sign of pregnancy on the belly yet, but an experienced person could tell it at a glance. Looking at the brawny man again, it was obvious that he was pregnant.
I pretended to be confused and wanted to exchange ten bags of rice for two cows.
"Oh, it's Hu San again!" The herdsmen next to him whispered, as if they were very familiar with this person. "Hey, it's really hard for Grandpa Song to get rid of him."
It seems that this person is still a habitual offender.
Mai Mai is not a person who likes to uphold justice when there is nothing wrong. She is not that noble, nor that great. She is very selfish and only helps the people she likes. However, she likes these herdsmen. She likes their simplicity and kindness. I want her.
She really couldn't help but watch such a lovely person being bullied.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Twenty bags of rice for a cow is indeed very fair."
Everyone looked at the owner of this clear voice. When they saw that it was the beautiful girl from before, they didn't understand what she meant by saying this. Was she talking for Hu San?
Hu San turned his head and looked at Mai Mai, "Huh, I guess you have some brains, little girl."
Mai Mai smiled calmly, her eyes narrowed, and the sharpness that belonged to the dragon girl suddenly appeared, "However, if you want to exchange two cows, that is just a dream."
Only then did everyone hear clearly, it turned out that she was speaking for Grandpa Song. In unison, they all felt sweaty for this delicate little girl.
"What two cows?" Hu San's face was straight, and his rough face was a bit fierce, "The little girl doesn't know not to talk nonsense, she will get into trouble."
Ah Shang and others glanced at him contemptuously and stood behind Mai Mai without saying a word. I'm afraid it was him who would get into trouble. As long as Mai Mai gave the order, let alone his life, he would not even take his body.
They may not stay.
"Okay, I'm just going to talk nonsense," Maimai stepped forward without fear, pointed at the cow and said, "How about we make a bet. If I can prove that it is pregnant, you have to pay the old man
Forty bags of rice. If I lose, I will give you the rice and you can take the cow away. How about that?"
As soon as Mai Mai finished speaking, there was an immediate commotion. Even the herdsmen judged the early stages of a pregnant cow based on their experience. If the abdomen was not bulging at all, they would not have it if the other party insisted that it was not the case.
What a way.
After taking a look at the little girl in her teens, Hu San curled her lips and said, "Okay, just bet. Am I, Hu San, still afraid of you?"
"Do you still dare to raise the bet?" Mai Mai tempted him to move closer to her step by step.
"Hmph, add whatever you want, sir, I'll accompany you!" In front of these little girls, Hu San would never allow herself to be looked down upon by others.
"Okay, if I lose, I will give you another bull's head. On the other hand, if you lose, you will never set foot here again!" The fierce momentum made Hu San slightly stunned.
It wasn't until this moment that he became aware that this little girl was not as simple as she seemed.
But now that the words were spoken, he had to respond no matter what, "Okay!"
Maimai stopped talking nonsense and walked up to the cow alone. He first touched it comfortingly to make it eliminate its hostility. Then he stood on its left side, facing its rear, holding the cow's back with his left hand.
Use your right hand to gently press on the left side of your belly.
The curious people who came around opened their eyes wide, squatted down, and stared at the place where she pressed lightly. After a while, everyone looked at the belly of the cow in surprise. There, there was obviously something slightly touching the lower part of the belly.
Mai Mai retracted her hand and turned around to look at Hu San, who had been at the scene for a long time. "If you don't believe what you saw with your eyes, you can follow my example and touch it with your own hands. If you still don't believe it, do you dare to open your mouth and test it?"
?”
"Girl?!" Grandpa Song exclaimed.
Ah Shang patted him comfortingly, "Grandpa, our young lady has her own sense of propriety."
Hu San's face was ugly. How could he not see that the cow was pregnant? It was precisely because it was in the early stages and the belly could not be seen that he dared to be so overbearing. Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him could actually show...
Fetal movement? If he continues to insist and is really disemboweled, he will not only have to pay forty bags of rice, but also the cow.
Without thinking any more, Hu San pretended to be generous and waved his hand, "No need. So what if I just give you forty bags of rice? I have plenty of money, sir."
Amid the roars of laughter nearby, Hu San, somewhat embarrassed, ordered forty bags of rice to be delivered, and finally took away the cattle.
"Don't forget, you are not allowed to take another step on the grass here." Mai Mai's cold warning sounded behind him, making Hu San itch with hatred. He never thought that one day he would admit his decision, and the other party would
She is still a little girl.
"Dragon Girl, you actually understand this?" Liujiu was about to collapse. From going into battle to kill enemies to judging a cow's pregnancy, their Dragon Girl must be too powerful.
"Miss, when did you learn this?" Ah Shang also took several breaths of air in disbelief.
Mai Mai smiled slightly, she couldn't tell them that she learned it in biology class. She just remembered this interesting method. To be honest, she was sweating when she tried it just now.
"Girl, thank you so much." Grandpa Song was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "A pregnant cow only needs thirty bags of rice, but the girl begged for forty bags. The remaining ten
I think I'm thanking the girl for her help." After saying that, he asked someone to unload the ten bags.
"No, this is what you deserve, old man." Mai Mai declined with a smile, "The cow is yours, and of course this rice is yours too."
"Girl, you are so kind," Grandpa Song looked at her gratefully, "How...how can I repay you for this?"
"Haha, no need." Occasionally, my eyes touched a delicate knife. It looked like it was used by men to shave their beards.
Grandpa Song followed her gaze and saw the knife. Without saying a word, he picked it up and gave it to Mai Mai, "If the girl likes it, I will give it to the girl."
"Uh..." What was she thinking? Oh my God, she would actually think of...
Grandpa Song thought she wouldn't accept it, so he asked anxiously, "Does the girl think it's worthless?"
"No, no," Mai Mai immediately waved her hand, "Old man, how much does this cost? I'll just buy it."
"If a girl spends money to buy it, she is looking down on me!" Grandpa Song became stubborn and wanted to give it to her no matter what.
Seeing that he persisted, Mai Mai no longer shied away and accepted it readily, "Old man, thank you."
She greeted the four people behind her, thanked her, and then walked towards the horses tied outside. Because of what had just happened, the herdsmen in the market looked at her leaving with admiration. The sharp-eyed ones immediately saw the horse that Mai Mai had led out.
Snow Goose, shouted, "Look, it's Snow Goose!"
At this moment, everyone put down their things and ran to the side, watching Mai Mai climb onto the snow goose with the help of Ashang.
"Oh my god, is she the dragon girl that the master brought back from the Qisa Dynasty, our mistress?" I don't know who was the first to exclaim.
"That's right, the snow goose was given to the mistress. This has spread all over the grassland. Who else can ride it besides the mistress?" There were more and more echoes from the side.
"The mistress is indeed a dragon girl with great magical powers. She actually knows how to tell if a cow is pregnant? It's amazing."
"It is our blessing in Yanbei Kingdom to have such a mistress."
With great reverence and excitement, everyone watched Mai Mai and others disappear from sight.
Ah Shang caught up with Xue Yan and kept pace with Mai Mai. His big round eyes were full of smiles, "Miss, what is that knife for?" How could she not know that it was used by men to shave their beards?
?Because of this, the question arises, who is the lady going to give it to?
"Peel the apple." Mai Mai spat out a few words stiffly, looking a little unnatural.
Ah Shang almost suffered internal injuries because he had never heard of such a use.
Suddenly, a very strange thought came to her. If the master knew that the young lady had a special regard for the bearded guard, would he become jealous?
