Rise From the Humble

The city gate was as crowded as ever, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going. However, when this group of galloping officials roared towards them, the people at the city gate suddenly dispersed, even the guards guarding the city gate. They all quickly got out of the way.

In feudal society, status as a powerful person is the best pass! This is the unbreakable truth.

Zhu Ping'an rode his horse out of the city gate along with these noble disciples. The guards at the city gate nodded and bowed and watched the horses go away. This is Zhu Ping'an's first time out of the imperial capital since he came to the capital to take part in the examination.

It’s been a long time since I last saw the fragrance of the earth, and I haven’t seen the green mountains for a long time.

Zhu Ping'an was riding on horseback, looking at the lush green mountains in the distance, blowing the fragrant breeze with the earth, and letting the horse play freely, and he couldn't help but feel very good.

After leaving the imperial capital, we drove all the way, walked along the official road for a while, and then turned to a small road. Along the small road, we entered a woodland. This woodland is well maintained, and many of the trees must be more than a hundred years old. The tree that reaches straight into the sky spreads its branches and leaves in mid-air, blocking the wind and clouds, cutting off the sunlight, and sprinkling it all over the ground.

After leaving the woods, there is a low hillside, and behind the low hillside are rolling mountains and dense forests.

"Brother-in-law, this is the Golden Rooster Ridge. If you go and stamp your feet under the stone over there, you can hear a clanking sound, like the crow of a golden rooster, so this place is called the Golden Rooster Ridge." Fatty Zhou said. After slowing down his horse, he turned around and said to Zhu Ping'an beside him.

"Yes." Zhu Pingan nodded and also slowed down his horse.

Zhu Ping'an is very satisfied with the horse under him. Compared with the second-rate horse that kills Matt and Dark Horse, this horse is a real horse. It is fast, smart and obedient. Its overall level is better than that of Killing Matt and Dark Horse by a hundred. More than twice that.

While Fatty Zhou and Zhu Ping'an were chatting, a group of second-generation officials in front slowly stopped their horses and gathered around an open space. A second-generation official in the middle was proposing something, and everyone cheered and agreed from time to time.

When Fatty Zhou saw this, he was very curious and gathered around the horse's belly, acting aggressively, as if being late would be a huge loss.

Zhu Pingan rode towards the crowd slowly and unhurriedly. The reason why Zhu Pingan was not in a hurry was because he could clearly read what the second-generation official in the middle said through his eyes, and he had no interest in joining in the fun.

Judging from the lip reading, the flamboyant second-generation official was proposing a horse race to go around the hillside and take another path that is not often used to gather at the spring outing place. When the time comes, they will enter the hunting area according to the competition ranking, and the first one to arrive can Priority is given to entering the hunt, and those who arrive later can only enter the hunt in sequence.

When Zhu Ping'an drove the horse over, the second-generation official's horse racing proposal had been unanimously approved by everyone. Fatty Zhou was also eager to try. His thighs were constantly rubbing against the horse's belly, with a look of excitement on his face.

If you think about it, you can understand that horse racing is in line with the competitive mentality of young people, and the ranking is also related to the order of hunting. For these noble children, the harvest is related to the reputation of their ancestors, and they have always valued this. If you catch a lot during this hunt, you will be envied by your peers and praised and valued by your elders. This will have a non-negligible impact on your future employment in the army and local assignments.

Another point that cannot be ignored is that the spring outing and hunting place is not only for their boys, but also for countless girls, including young ladies from the Duke's family, beauties from the civil servants' families, as well as some famous ladies and Xiaojiabiyu who come here because of their fame. , it can be said that this spring outing is almost the ancient version of "If You Are the One".

Therefore, it is understandable that these second-generation officials are bursting with male hormones.

After the horse racing proposal is agreed upon, everyone dismounts and rests, and then their respective entourages go to the only way to clear the roadblocks for horse racing, and act as referees to supervise and prevent cheating.

After Fatty Zhou dismounted, he lay on his horse's head and chattered for a long time. Zhu Ping'an also read the rough words through lip reading. It's just that you want to gain some momentum. You spent more than two hundred taels of silver specifically from I bought a good horse from the northwest. If you don’t live up to expectations this time, I will burn you. If you help me get a good ranking, I will buy ten or eight water-spirited mares and give them to you...

Intimidation and inducement, carrot and stick, haha, Fatty Zhou is so good at playing. But the only question is, can the horse understand you?

During the break, everyone invariably fed the horses with grass and water. Fatty Zhou even gave his horse a massage. However, Zhu Pingan was more casual. He led the horse's fart under the tree and let it chew it. Some green grass and leaf buds.

After resting for about half an hour, everyone was adjusted to the best condition and the horse power was sufficient. Everyone led the horses to the starting point one after another.

The place everyone chose to start is a gentle hillside that extends for hundreds of meters. At the end of the few hundred meters is a small road. The end of this small road is where the various families gathered for this spring outing.

Although there are a large number of people, the hillside is enough for everyone to drive horses abreast, and the starting line is considered fair. As for the small road ahead, which is only big enough for two or three horses, it will all depend on their abilities.

"Hahaha, Fatty Zhou, you are such a fat pig and you dare to race a horse. Why bother? You will be the last one to enter the park."

At the starting hillside, a distinguished disciple who was familiar with Fatty Zhou pointed at Fatty Zhou's lump of meat and laughed loudly.

After this man laughed at him, many noble disciples around looked at Fatty Zhou and started laughing at him. Because of Fatty Zhou's fat body, Fatty Zhou has raced horses with them many times. Except for a few occasional times, he basically ran at the back every time. There were even a few times when the horse was tired. Foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes.

"Fuck you, little monkey, just wait and eat the dust of Lao Zhi." Fatty Zhou raised his head and scolded back, then touched the horse under his crotch and boasted, "Do you know the horse under Lao Zhi's crotch? Even the famous sweat-blooded BMW is no match for it."

"Pull it down. Last time there was a horse that you said was the descendant of Luma, but it still fell behind. How about you, don't admit defeat, okay, do you dare to increase your bet? We both lose. The winner will be given a girl's school book for a month." The second generation Xungui who was familiar with Fatty Zhou laughed and challenged.

"Add more, whoever is afraid of whom." Fatty Zhou raised his head and accepted the challenge, his face full of confidence, full of confidence in the horse he bought with a lot of money.

Compared with everyone's eagerness to try, Zhu Pingan was much calmer. He drove his horse to mix with the crowd, with a completely soy sauce mentality, which was in sharp contrast to the blushing and thick-necked Fatty Zhou beside him.
