Lei Ruilin also nodded vigorously, "Daddy caught this from the Western Barbarian Country. It must be the best!"
Chang Sun Hong was even more envious, and suggested: "Just try it and you will know."
Qin Ruiqi looked at Qin Mian questioningly.
Qin Mian said: "Son, it's not possible now. You and Ruilin haven't learned how to ride horses."
Lei Ruilin pleaded: "Daddy, there will be nothing wrong with you and dad. Let my brother and I try?"
Qin Mian looked at Lei Tie, and Lei Tie nodded directly. Qin Mian is speechless. Strictly speaking, although Lei Tie has strict requirements for both children, he is no worse than him when it comes to petting his son.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin happily led the two ponies out.
Because there are no matching stirrups and saddles, Qin Mian and Lei Tie can only carry their son up.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were indeed brave. Holding the reins, they recalled the way their father used to ride horses. With their legs and abdomen between the horses, the little pony ran happily. The speed may not be fast, but the four hooves are vigorous and windward. The fluttering snow-white mane coupled with the vigorous momentum literally set off immediately the two little dolls with joyful faces even more energetic.
Long Sun Hong was even more envious, and he couldn't care about the speed of the pony at this time, and he wished it was himself riding on the horse.
Chen Mufeng rubbed his head affectionately.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin felt more and more as they rode, and they found some experience. With a gentle flick of the rope, the little pony ran faster and smoother. Both of them laughed happily.
Lei Ruilin triumphantly cast a sorrowful look at Chang Sun Hong.
After all, Chang Sun Hong was still a child, and finally couldn't hold it back, and cried with a "wow".
Chen Mufeng hurriedly coaxed, "Don't cry, don't cry, let your father get you a horse when you go back later."
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were taken aback, stopped their horses quickly, jumped off easily, and ran to Chang Sun Hong, feeling a little at a loss.
"Ahong, I'm sorry." Lei Ruilin apologized slowly.
Chang Sun Hong wiped out a tear in embarrassment, "Don't blame you. I will let my dad find me a pony too!"
Lei Ruilin smiled, "Okay! Then we will go hunting together."
Qin Mian and Chen Mufeng couldn't help laughing.
Chen Mufeng said: "Qin Mian, Lei Tie, we should say goodbye. You are tired after such a long journey, so your rest will not be delayed."
"Okay." Qin Mian nodded, "We will get together another day."
After Chen Mufeng and Chang Sunhong left, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin felt sorry for the ponies and did not ride them anymore, so their servants took them back to the stables to take care of them.
Qin Mian ordered the blessing steward to order two sets of softer saddles as soon as possible.
A family of four returned to the house hand in hand.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie first went to shower to wash away the dust, and then had a good lunch together.
After lunch, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were considerate of their fathers, and let the two fathers rest well, and left with Golden Retriever and a little white.
The son's thoughtfulness made Qin Mian and Lei Tie very useful. After going to bed and doing something they like to do, they slept well. Although their cultivation will not affect their health even if they do not sleep for a long time, but sleeping is also a kind of enjoyment, why not do it?
It was Shen Shimo when the two woke up. The two checked their sons' homework, and the family of four talked together.
The next day, Lei Tie got up in the morning. Qin Mian also wants to go to court, first, his official position has not been revoked; second, he made great contributions in Xiguan, Xiaohui will definitely reward him in the morning, even if he does not go to court, Xiaohui The emperor will also announce him into the palace.
After the husband and wife took care of them, they rode to the palace in the dim night. At the gate of the palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs who entered the palace saw the two men, and they all greeted them enthusiastically and politely.
After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, more people greeted the two. As the only couple who went to court at the same time, the two calmly accepted everyone's attention.
After Emperor Xiaohui appeared, the monarchs and ministers saw the ceremony, so there is no need to say anything.
After emperor Xiaohui asked in detail about the battle with Tuluo country, he praised Lei Tie, "This time the battle against Tuluo country, the town government function is not available. He is given a yellow mantle and one hundred thousand taels of gold. Qin Ruiqi, the eldest son of Lord Zhenguo, is the eldest son of Lord Zhenguo."
The ministers were not surprised by this result. Lei Tie, as the Lord of the Town, is the first grade, and has no way to be promoted, and can only be rewarded from other aspects. In the next year, Tuluo country will cede the land and pay compensation to Daxia country. Emperor Xiaohui doesn't care about the hundred thousand taels of gold.
Lei Tie kowtows to thank you.
Emperor Xiaohui said: "Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong saved the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers at the border, and she was also indispensable. She revoked her post as a special officer in the army and became a doctor in the Taiyuan Hospital. He rewarded one hundred thousand gold. The second son Lei Ruilin is the head of Anping County."
Emperor Xiaohui actually officially sealed him off, Qin Mian was taken aback, but this kind of occasion could not be refused, so he could only kneel and thank him.
The ministers all secretly sighed. Nowadays, the four members of Zhen Guogong's family are all "officials", which is extremely beautiful.
Before the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Xiaohui announced that he would hold a feast in the palace and reward the three armies at night.
After leaving the dynasty, everyone congratulated Qin Mian and Lei Tie.
After finally leaving the palace, avoiding the sight of the rest of the people, Qin Mian and Lei Tie looked at each other, their expressions a bit solemn.
Lei Tie whispered: "Looking at the posture, the emperor seems to have intentionally kept us in the capital. I am afraid it will not be easy to resign."
Qin Mian is also very worried, but has always been optimistic, not particularly anxious, "I think the emperor is in a good mood, plus the Chinese New Year is about to come, so I don't want to resign at this time. I will talk about it later, at least Wait until the negotiation between the Western Barbarian State and the Great Xia State is over."
Lei Tie nodded.
Not long after the two arrived home, the reward for them and the imperial decree for Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin arrived.
In the past, Qin Ruiqi was the eldest son of Lord Zhenguo, but he was not the first son of Lord Zhenguo without canonization. Now he is the legal continuum of Lord Zhenguo. Common people must salute him when they meet him, and will inherit the title of "Duke Zhenguo" in the future. . Lei Ruilin is not bad either. The grade of "Anping County Lord" is the same as that of the prince son of the Marquis. After that, Anping County will be his fief. After the age of sixteen, only half of Anping County's taxes will be paid to the court, and the rest All belong to him.
Although Qin Mian and Lei Tie are the wife of Zhen Guo Gong and Zhen Guo Gong, they usually do not take any authority. This attitude also affects Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin. The two little guys are just new to their new identities, other than that, they are extremely calm. <
Qin Mian and Lei Tie are very satisfied with their sons' performance.
On that day, many people gave gifts one after another, not asking for being able to hug their thighs, at least for a good relationship. These catastrophic memories were avoided, and Qin Mian simply accepted it, but in the next day, people would exchange everything that could be exchanged for silver, and all of it would be donated to the court, expressly as military expenses. This move is naturally to eliminate the fear of Emperor Xiaohui's opponent Lei Tie who holds military power (the fundamental purpose is to avoid trouble). You said that you hold the military power and you are so close to so many ministers. Can you keep the emperor from being jealous?
Emperor Xiaohui was very satisfied with this and trusted Qin Mian and Lei Tie more and more. The people who gave gifts were not very satisfied, but they also understood a truth. Qin Mian and Lei Tie were both principled people. Afterwards, they would just do their best to give gifts instead of picking up expensive ones. These are all things to follow, so I won't mention them for now.
In the evening, the celebration feast arrived as scheduled.
In addition to eating and drinking at the celebration banquet and awarding rewards to all those who have contributed to the battle, it is deliberately mentioned that Emperor Xiaohui decided to hold a hunting in the royal hunting ground on the three days from the 26th to the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The activity is to have fun with the subjects on the one hand, and on the other hand it is to reward the ministers with prey in a disguised form so that they can have a prosperous year.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin have been looking forward to hunting since they got the pony. After learning that the emperor had asked them to go hunting, they took care of their pony for several days. Both of them knew in their hearts that really riding this little pony to hunt might not really be able to catch prey, but hunting is not just for prey, but also for fun, so both of them are very interested.
Qin Mian also specially made hunting suits and bows suitable for them.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a heavy snowfall, which added a bit of fun to the hunting activities in winter. Hunting in snow is obviously much more interesting than hunting on dry ground.
Early in the morning, a family of four had breakfast and rode their horses to the Royal Hunting Ground. The four of them wore exactly the same red hunting outfits. As for why it was red, because red was more prominent on the snow, in case of any accident, they could find each other faster. The necks of the two foals are also tied with red brocade. All four of them had the same equipment, with bows and arrows on their backs, and the waist bag of the same style on their waists contained wound medicine, water glasses and dry food.
A family of four looks good and has outstanding temperament. They rode on the streets of the capital, and the pedestrians on the road couldn't stop their eyes on them. In Qin Mian's words, "the rate of turning back is 100%."
When they arrived at the Royal Hunting Ground, all the guards and the ministers who had arrived early cast their sights. They admired Qin Mian and Lei Tie for having two outstanding sons, and also admired the special outfits on the four of them. It was so eye-catching.
The eight guards guarding the entrance of the Royal Hunting Ground returned to their senses and saluted respectfully.
"I have seen the Duke of Zhen Guo, the wife of Duke Zhen, the son of Duke Zhen, and the Duke of Anping County!"
Even people who don't know their identity, just listen to this series of names to know that this family is unusual.
Lei Tie nodded lightly, "No gift."
Four people rode in.
Because Emperor Xiaohui likes to be lively, not only the ministers of civil and military affairs, but also their sons came to participate in the hunting. Therefore, at this time, there were people everywhere in the hunting ground, many of whom were dressed and dressed.
Originally, someone saw two little dolls riding a pony to take part in the hunting. They thought it was a bit funny. They planned to come forward to make a joke. When they heard the guards complaining to them, they quickly dismissed their ideas. The town and country's family can't be offended by most people.
Several tents have been set up on the hunting ground. A family of four rode to the largest and most guarded tent.
Emperor Xiaohui was chatting with Prince Ming and Chen Mufeng.
Grandpa Li opened the curtain and walked in with a smile on his face, "Tell the emperor, Lord Zhenguo's family is here."
Emperor Xiaohui said in amazement, "Could it be that Ruiqi and Ruilin are really riding the pony that the Lord Zhenguo gave them?"
Li Gonggong replied: "Exactly. Those two ponies are all white, they are really beautiful."
Emperor Xiaohui came with interest, "Go out and have a look."
A few people got out of the tent, and the four Qin Mian arrived on horseback and quickly got off the horse to salute.
"Please greet the emperor."
"Flat body." Emperor Xiaohui saw the scene of Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin just riding on the horse, and couldn't help but smile, "Haha... they really are two good horses. Ruiqi Ruilin just rode on the horse. It looks very imposing. However, such a small horse can really hit its prey?"
Lei Ruilin confidently said: "Uncle the emperor, I can definitely! Ruilin and his brother will give a copy to the uncle the emperor after they hit the prey!"
Emperor Xiaohui replied, "Okay! I am waiting."
At this time, Chang Sun He and Chang Sun Hong came over on horseback.
