History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 38

Mrs. Xu's surname is Chu Ming Hanyi, who was born in a general family. Her name looks like a man's, and she acts a little more capable than ordinary ladies in the inner house. When the Linlang brothers and sisters went to pay a visit, she was also very enthusiastic, telling them to have fun, don't be polite.She came here this time to go to the mountain to worship the Buddha and pay homage to an eminent monk who had attained the Tao. He Xuanji felt the same way when she heard this. He Weijie was also interested in Buddhism and agreed to go with her.

Lin Lang was not very interested in worshiping the Buddha, but thinking about Xu Xiang's promise, she agreed to learn how to ride a horse tomorrow.

The terrain beside the Biwen Lake is open, the Xu family passed on their military exploits to the family, and Xu Xiang's brothers and sisters are all excellent equestrians.Xu Lang didn't need to accompany them to worship Buddha, he seemed to be very interested, followed them to the open space, and joked: "Sixth sister has short arms and short legs, can she ride?"

He was indeed tall and slender, and Lin Lang looked short in comparison, Lin Lang was naturally unconvinced, and hummed: "Sister Xu learned to ride a horse when she was six or seven years old, and now her equestrian skills are no worse than yours."

"Then you climb on the horseback and let me have a look." Xu Lang smiled leisurely.

At this moment, Xu Xiang forgot to bring the whip and drove the horse back to fetch it, so she and Xu Lang were the only ones facing each other in the field.Lin Lang bit her lip while looking at the stirrup. Although Xu Xiang helped her choose a short and docile horse, with her current height and strength, it was not easy to climb onto the horse's back.

Taking a gamble, Lin Lang raised her foot to step on the stirrup, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength in her leg, so she couldn't climb up.She was wrestling there, when she suddenly felt light, Xu Lang supported her waist and sent her up, and when she realized it, she was already sitting firmly on the horse's back.

"A horse is like a human. If you are stronger than it, it will obey you. In turn, it will bully you." Before Lin Lang could say anything, he had already started to teach her, "If you want it to be obedient, you must not only learn skills, but also let it learn how to obey. It knows that you have the confidence and ability to control it, so never show timidity and fear, and the momentum cannot be lost."

It was rare for Lin Lang to see him talk so much, and she was taken aback for a while.

Xu Lang was tall and long, and Lin Lang was a relatively short horse. Standing and sitting in the air, he was about the same height as her. He bent his index finger and tapped her forehead, "Got it?"

These words seem to be talking about horse training, but also seem to be talking about being a human being, but they are meant to teach her how to be a human being.In the first half of Linlang's last life, she was pampered and pampered, but the next few years were full of ups and downs, and she realized this truth only in Lenggong. Now, after Xu Lang said it, she felt it was very satisfactory, so she nodded and smiled, "Understood."

Although the ten-year-old girl's figure is still flat, her eyebrows are opened, and her face gradually has a beauty that can make people fascinated.The delicate cheeks and lips were just right, and the bright eyes were bent into a sweet smile, which made Xu Lang who was standing close to him almost lose his mind.

He looked into her eyes, and the moment he caught them, he realized that she didn't look like a ten-year-old girl.It seems that since the time we met in the bamboo forest, her demeanor and expression have changed, and her brows and eyes are no longer as innocent as before, with a subtle and distant taste hidden, and the occasional absent-mindedness is intoxicating.

Fortunately, he is a person who can do things soberly when he is drunk, so he led the horse and took two steps to let her feel it carefully.

Lin Lang had never ridden a horse before, and with her legs hanging loosely beside her, he taught her the skills of riding a horse, including the reins, whip, feet, legs, and crotch.

The age difference was six years, and Xu Lang didn't seem to shy away from it. When it came to emergency, he helped her support her legs and taught her how to sit. It's a pity that the horsewhip was not there, otherwise he could hold her soft little hand.

Lin Lang originally thought that riding a horse was a free and easy thing, but she didn't know that she was particular about sitting and moving. After sitting with her back upright for a long time, she became a little tired. She wanted to be lazy, but Xu Lang said casually: "Are you afraid?"

"That's not it!" Lin Lang, with a ten-year-old body and a 20-year-old heart, would not want to be looked down upon by a 16-year-old boy, so she immediately sat up straight and continued to practice.When Xu Xiang went back to grab the whip and rushed back, Lin Lang was able to walk slowly while holding the reins.

But Xu Lang was worried about her riding alone, so he strode behind to prevent her from accidentally falling.

Xu Xiang came back in a hurry and saw that his apprentice had been beaten by his elder brother. He was immediately annoyed, and before he dismounted, he used the whip in his hand as a weapon, and rolled towards Xu Lang like a spirit snake.

The brothers and sisters used to practice with weapons before, Xu Lang heard the sound of horseshoes and whips, and immediately guessed what his sister was thinking. , and then pull hard.

Xu Xiang is also not an idle boudoir daughter. After going to Mobei to practice, she adapts very quickly, her body moves with the whip, her toes are on the horse's back, and she rises into the air, kicking Xu Lang on the back of the neck.Xu Lang didn't deliberately give in, he turned around and greeted him with palms.

The brothers and sisters broke down a few tricks, and Xu Xiang naturally knew that he couldn't get any cheap, and vented his annoyance, so he showed his intention to stop.Xu Lang couldn't bully her too much, he intentionally showed a flaw and told her to kick her in the shoulder, and then back away.

As soon as Xu Xiang succeeded in the blow, he immediately felt refreshed, and took advantage of the momentum to jump on the back of Lin Lang's horse and said, "Go, I'll take you for a ride!"

Lin Lang was still careful not to move around, but when the Xu family brothers and sisters fought, the horse was disturbed, and she took the rein to avoid it.Now Xu Xiang landed firmly on the horse's back, which made her feel relieved immediately. Behind him, Xu Xiang grabbed the rein and clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped.

The wild scenery passed by quickly, the wind lifted the fine hair on his forehead, and it was the first time in Lin Lang's two lives that he rode his horse and galloped wildly.
