The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 85
"Cheng Chumo, what are you looking at around my horse?" Just as Cheng Chumo was patting his head and wondering what was unusual about the black horse, Su Wanqing's voice came over.

"Sister Su, there seems to be something wrong with your horse." Cheng Chumo said with a frown scratching his head.

"A horse is a horse, there's nothing wrong with it." Su Wanqing had a smug smile on her lips, and without waiting for Cheng Chumo to say anything, she turned over and rode on the horse's back.

Of course her horse is wrong, but what is wrong is not the horse itself, but the equipment on the horse.

Cheng Chumo also showed a dazed expression the moment Su Wanqing got on the horse, pointed at her feet and said, "Sister Su, what is that thing you are stepping on?"

"It's called a horse stirrup, haven't you seen it before?" Su Wanqing smiled triumphantly, probably because of Cheng Chumo's brother-in-law relationship with Li Muyun just now, how this girl likes him.

People in this world often say: Falling flowers mean flowing water is ruthless.

And Su Wanqing is facing such a situation, even though she has changed her original intention now, she has such a concern for the newcomer Li Muyun who has depth, connotation, future and good looks, but that wood just doesn't have it. It feels like he still keeps a distance from her, and after many contacts, he looks more like her elder brother than the legendary fiancé.

So, when we were in the Juyi Hall just now, Cheng Chumo called that brother-in-law. Although Su Wanqing was a little shy, she didn't deny it. In her opinion, these two words could just wake up that wood, so that he would not always call him big brother. self-proclaimed identity.

But then again, Cheng Chumo's family didn't care what Su Wanqing was thinking at this moment.

This guy just looked at the legendary pair of stirrups with envy, and thought of Su Wanqing's movement of getting on the horse like flowing clouds and flowing water just now, and also thought of her running and running like a big horse and monkey, and couldn't help but smile flatteringly: " Sister, dear sister, can you give me a pair of those stirrups?"

Su Wanqing has always been the youngest one in the family, always thinking how great it would be to have a younger brother or younger sister, now that Cheng Chumo called her sister, she immediately made her smile happily again, and got off the horse: "No problem, follow me I come."

"Well, brother-in-law won't be unhappy, right?" Cheng Chumo asked worriedly seeing that Su Wanqing readily agreed.

After all, this village belongs to Li Muyun, and he is not Bai Ding now. Although the status of Marquis is not very prominent, it is enough to bluff people.

What's more important is that Li Muyun still has the wine that the elder Cheng needs, so if he is upset, the gain will outweigh the loss.

But to his great surprise, Su Wanqing shook her head nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, there are many of these things in the stockade, it's not something extraordinary." Then she pointed casually: "Look, don't all those horses have them hanging on them."

Facts proved that Su Wanqing was not lying. Looking in the direction of her finger, she saw that two horses tied to one side not far away also had stirrups on them.

After seeing such a situation, Cheng Chumo's worries gradually disappeared, and at the same time, he discovered other problems. His eyes began to look at the horse Su Wanqing was leading, and finally his eyes fell on the horse's hooves: "Sister , you horse, why do you make such a strange walking sound?"

"Because it wears shoes, it naturally walks differently from your horse." Speaking of the difference, Su Wanqing smiled smugly again, as if her vanity had been greatly satisfied all of a sudden.

But Cheng Chumo didn't notice these, so he asked in bewilderment, "Can horses still wear shoes? Where are they?"

"I'll show you when I get to the blacksmith later." Seeing Cheng Chumo who was confused, Su Wanqing said.

……

A while later, Su Wanqing brought Cheng Chumo to Blacksmith Zhong's blacksmith's shop, and after calling Uncle Zhong, she pointed to the iron hoops hanging on the wall and said, "Those hoops are the stirrups, you can adjust them as you like." That’s right, those iron pieces are horseshoes, that is, the horse’s shoes, you also take four pieces, and I’ll let Uncle Zhong get them for you later, I still have something to do, so let’s go first.”

"Hey, good!" Cheng Chumo didn't care what Su Wanqing was doing at this time, he tried to pretend to be a fool, successfully fooled Su Wanqing, and while agreeing, he went into the blacksmith shop and began to pick out his own equipment.

……

A few days later, Chang'an City, Cheng Mansion.

"Father, father, where is my father?" Cheng Chumo, who had galloped for several days, came back, sweating profusely, and asked a family member.

"Master is performing martial arts in the backyard..." Before the general finished speaking, Cheng Chumo was no longer in sight, only the crisp sound of horseshoes in his ears.

……

In the backyard of Cheng's mansion, in the martial arts arena, Lao Cheng was chatting with a yellow-faced man.

But at this moment, Cheng Chumo rushed over in a hurry, and shouted to Old Cheng very excitedly: "Father, father, I'm back, and I brought back two treasures!"

"What the hell, didn't you see your second uncle here?"

"Uh..." Cheng Chumo was scolded by the old man, so he didn't dare to say anything, bowed to the yellow-faced man and said at the same time: "My nephew has seen Erbo Qin."

The yellow-faced man waved his hand, urging Cheng Chu to be silent, and then asked: "You are so hot-tempered, what kind of treasure did you get, let's take a look."

Speaking of the baby, Cheng Chumo immediately became excited, and said with bright eyes: "The horse stirrup and the horseshoe, I went to Shuozhou this time, and I found good things from my brother-in-law."

"Crack..." Cheng Chumo's words just finished, he was slapped, and then Cheng Yaojin said: "Fart, your brother-in-law from Shuozhou? Stirrups and horseshoes are so different! Make it clear!"

Cheng Chumo's rough skin and thick flesh can withstand beatings, and he just shrinks his neck after being slapped by Lao Cheng's big slap, but in order not to be beaten again, he can only smile and say: "Father, you forgot? Su Lie's sister is here Is it Li Muyun's place in Shanyin County, Shuozhou? This time I found out that these two people were flirting with each other, obviously there is something wrong, so I..."

"Can speak human language!" Old Cheng was angry.

"Brother-in-law is Li Muyun, sister Su Lie's favorite, the stirrups are the two rings on the horse's body, and the horseshoes are the four iron plates on the horse's hoof."

"Isn't it over if you talk so early!" Old Cheng rolled his eyes, but he seemed to think of something again, and walked to the horse led by Cheng Chumo in two or three steps, grabbed a leg, and snapped it back.

Then a strange "hehe" laughter came from Lao Cheng's mouth, and then he waved to the yellow-faced man: "Second brother, come and take a look, I think this thing looks familiar!"

look familiar?The yellow-faced man walked up to Lao Cheng and looked at the horse's hoof for a long time, frowning slightly, as if he had seen something on the horse's hoof somewhere.

At this time, I heard Cheng Yaojin say: "The Hall of Liangyi, Your Majesty's study...".

With a sound of 'pa', the second elder brother surnamed Qin slapped both palms, and suddenly said, "You mean those four iron pieces?!"
