"Then we want to ride on the same horse together?" Zilu naturally thought of this. If there was this innocent maid sitting behind him, the journey would probably be extraordinary.
"The young prince is joking." Haitang said, "You are an expert in equestrian skills. If you give me some guidance, I will be able to do it."
Addressing the young prince meant alienation. Zilu no longer dared to think of riding a horse together, which was the wrong direction.
Zilu brought two fast horses and gave them to Haitang, who was more docile. I really don't know if she can control them. After all, horses are still wild animals.
Zilu knew that Haitang was anxious to go to Beijing, so both horses were good horses.
Haitang followed the method taught by Zilu, learning and selling now. She had to ride to the capital, otherwise she would have to sit around in a sedan chair for several days and the day lilies would be cold!
Controlling the left and right sides of the reins determines the direction in which the horse's head turns, and the tightness determines how quickly the horse starts and stops.
Hold a rein in each hand. The reins are wrapped around the ring finger and little finger and held in the center of the fist. The thumb presses lightly on it. The reins should be held in the left and right hands at the same length.
When sitting upright on the horse's back, you should straighten your chest and waist, keep your upper arms and upper body overlapping, and your forearms and the horse's reins should be in a straight line from all angles.
When mounting the horse, you should stand on the front leg of the horse and face the saddle. Use your left hand to tighten the rein in your palm and hold the front bridge of the saddle. Lift your left foot and insert the stirrup into your left foot with your right hand. Hold the rear bridge of the saddle with your right hand.
Turn over onto the horse under the force of your left foot.
When the horse is doing a trot, it is necessary to use its feet to stand and sit on the vibrating saddle. When standing, it is necessary to use the strength of the legs to stand up against the horse's belly. When sitting, it is necessary to relax the buttocks and tighten the calves.
Stick to the horse's belly.
When dismounting, you should first remove your left foot from the stirrup to the front of your foot, then hold the horse's rein tightly with your left hand, lift your right leg and turn over to dismount. Your posture after dismounting should be the same as before getting on.
Haitang has firmly memorized the essentials of riding a horse.
I repeated it several times in my mind before glaring at him.
The horse started walking slowly. After a few back and forth maneuvers and familiarity, Haitang was basically able to control it. Although it was not as comfortable as a fish in water, it was still no problem to get it to run quickly and take her to the capital.
Zilu didn't expect that someone would learn to ride a horse all of a sudden!
And she’s a woman!
Whether it was her talent or the situation, she was too anxious to go to the Prince's Mansion to see the top pick...
Zilu didn't know, but whatever the reason was, it was Haitang's quick success on horseback.
The two of them rode horses and galloped all the way towards the capital. Haitang's heart was completely focused on the prince's palace. Her posture was really like a horse race.
I didn't feel hungry at noon, but Zilu's stomach growled with hunger.
"I've never seen you so anxious before. Bing Jia said, being anxious makes you confused, and being confused can lead to bad things." Zilu rushed over and led the horse to stop in front of Haitang's horse, blocking the way. It was impossible not to eat at this noon.
.
"That's because you haven't seen me often enough." Haitang said.
I really hope there will be such an opportunity in the future, Zilu thought to himself, but did not say it out loud, otherwise the other party would be the little prince again. Almost everyone calls him little prince, which makes him distant, strange, and even numb...
Haitang didn't want to admit that she was upset because her heart had never been upset in this era...
In a small town that he passed by on the way, Zilu found a place to eat. It was simple but tasted very good. This was where he ate when he came.
