Chapter 74 Learning to ride a horse

 After parting ways with Ji Gang, Zhang Feng and others, Li Miao did not stay outside longer, but returned directly to Zhefu.

However, I unexpectedly found that compared with when I left this morning, there seemed to be a more festive feeling in the Zhe Mansion. Everyone looked quite happy. When they saw Li Miao, they were still

One by one, they came forward to congratulate Li Miao, with respect on their faces.

Li Miao randomly caught one of them and asked, only to learn that not long ago, someone from the government came to him to tell him the good news, and found Zhefu.

Mrs. Zheliu personally received these people who brought good news. She couldn't help being overjoyed when she learned that Li Miao had won the top prize in high school. Not only did she give a big red envelope to the person who brought the good news, but everyone in the mansion also received a red envelope.

That night, in order to celebrate Li Miao's high school championship, Mrs. Zheliu specially cooked a table of delicious dishes. Li Miao, who was so proud, wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but Mrs. Zheliu kicked him out and said what he was doing tonight.

No need to do anything, just wait and eat.

"Huh..."

After the sumptuous dinner, Li Miao let out a slight breath, put his hands on the railings of the pavilion, and gently raised his head to look up at the sky.

The night tonight is much better than the past few days. The moon is bright enough and there are enough stars.

The bright moon is shining brightly, as many as stars, describing this moment.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhe Xinyi also appeared in the pavilion. She also followed Li Miao's example and put her hands on the railing, then turned her head slightly and looked at him.

"I'm not thinking about anything."

Li Miao denied it, and then looked at her.

The bright moonlight fell on her face, and Li Miao unexpectedly discovered that there were some fine and almost invisible hairs on the left and right sides of her ears, which looked so beautiful and cute.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Seeing Li Miao looking at her, Zhe Xinyi couldn't help but raised her hand and touched her face in confusion, but... she didn't feel anything strange.

"There is something, but it's not on the face, but here."

After saying that, Li Miao raised her left hand and touched her earlobe, indicating to Zhe Xinyi that there was something stuck on that spot.

Seeing this, Zhe Xinyi quickly touched her left earlobe, and sure enough, she found something stained on her left earlobe. It was an unknown substance. It was in the shape of white granules and was very small. It was only about one third of the size of an ordinary rice grain.

The size and feel don’t quite resemble rice grains.

Zhe Xinyi couldn't think of what it was for a moment, and she couldn't think of where she got it from, so she didn't bother to look back. With a flick of her hand, the white unknown object flew out of the small pavilion and disappeared.

In the night.

"That's right."

Suddenly, Li Miao remembered something and asked Zhe Xinyi, "Are you free these two days?"

Zhe Xinyi thought for a while and then said: "I haven't been particularly busy these two days. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Li Miao explained: "It's like this. Our praise of officials this time has been set, it will be three days later, and I heard that the first-class Jinshi had to ride a horse in the previous praise of officials.

Yes, so I would like to ask you to help teach me about riding a horse."

……

Early the next morning, the weather was still good.

As usual, Li Miao first jogged around the familiar streets, then did some simple washing and had breakfast, Fang and Zhe Xinyi left the Zhe Mansion and headed outside the capital.

Go to the place.

Before that, seeing how they were dressed and behaved, the bun-faced maid came over very curiously. After learning that the two were going to practice horse racing, she instantly lost interest and stopped yelling.

Go.

What fun is there in training horses? Why not eat melon seeds and chat with Xiuhe at home.

The place Zhe Xinyi chose was an area outside the capital. The terrain here is relatively flat and there are not many people. It is a good place for horse training.

There were two horses brought, one was for Zhe Xinyi and the other was for Li Miao. They were both ordinary horses. Zhe Xinyi did not bring her war horse this time.

Riding a horse seems to be a very simple thing, but there are quite a few things you need to pay attention to when you really want to learn it.

For example, what is the correct and standard posture for mounting a horse? How can you better maintain body balance on the horse? How can you make the horse underneath obey your orders? A more advanced point is how to create a kind of similarity with the horse.

Because of the feeling of trust, cooperate with the horse to make some more difficult movements, etc.

I saw Zhe Xinyi said: "I will demonstrate the movement of mounting a horse first, please pay attention."

Li Miao nodded, indicating that he was ready.

So, Zhe Xinyi got on her horse while explaining, moving as slowly as possible so that Li Miao could observe carefully.

Jumping off the horse easily, she looked at Li Miao and asked, "Have you seen everything clearly? Do you need me to show it again?"

Li Miao shook his head and said: "No need, I can see everything clearly."

"Then come and mount the horse once and let me have a look."

Zhe Xinyi came over, brought another horse, and handed the reins to Li Miao.

This is an overall black horse with soft hair and a strong body. It is not considered a good horse.

The black horse was originally very well-behaved in Zhe Xinyi's hands, and it obeyed wherever he was led. But once it was in Li Miao's hands, something was wrong, and he was unwilling to let Li Miao ride on it.

Could it be that this guy is a mare, so that’s why he’s not allowed to ride?

Thinking of this, Li Miao couldn't help but look at a certain position on this dark horse.

Well...it's a stallion.

"Be honest!"

Li Miao glared at it fiercely, and tried to ride on it again, but still failed, and was even almost thrown off the horse.

"I told you to be more honest, are you looking for a slap in the face?"

Li Miao couldn't help but became a little angry and slapped the long horse's face.

Zhe Xinyi, who was witnessing all this, said: "If you want the horses to be honest and use them for your own use, you can't just rely on brutality..."

Her words, which had been prepared for a sermon, suddenly stopped, because she saw that Li Miao's slap seemed to have an effect, and the black horse immediately became more honest, and obediently let Li Miao ride on it.

Zhe Xinyi: "..."

Li Miao, who was sitting on the horse, looked down at Zhe Xinyi and asked: "How is it? My mounting posture should be pretty standard, right?"

Zhe Xinyi nodded affirmatively: "Well, although there are some flaws, it doesn't seem to be a big problem overall. Just practice it a few more times and you'll be fine."

Next, Zhe Xinyi taught Li Miao how to maintain the balance of the body on the horse, and also taught Li Miao how to control the horse's direction, stop, etc.
