Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 2: Obtain a Taoist Scroll, be appreciated by the lady, be promoted, and enter the stable based on your merits!
Advance payment?

Equestrianism?

Yes.

Ji Xiu felt a chill in his heart, and then he understood.

Just now, the fierce horse behind him was extremely irritable and rushed forward. He almost felt cold in his heart and thought that his life might end here.
For no apparent reason, an inexplicable sense of mystery poured into his body.

It took him a moment, as if he had been training horses for years.

Whether it is feeding, controlling or taming, it is all done with ease, just like an old master who has studied the art of horsemanship for a long time!
[Equestrianism: Getting Started]

[Follow-up: You have to tame a horse a thousand times before you can succeed. ]

[When you have completely mastered the 'Great Horsemanship', the master can start the next advance payment. ]

He glanced at the line of small gold-plated characters on the Taoist scroll that were outlined with spiritual light, and it seemed that only he could see them.

Ji Xiu finally found out the reason.
"I never expected that the nameless Taoist scroll that I wore all year round in my previous life, which was said to be the 'orthodox Taoist scroll', would become the turning point for my fortune in this life."

Looking at the extremely docile creature under his crotch, it just lay there quietly, breathing heavily, no matter how he slapped it with his big palm or stroked its fur and hair.

This is completely different from the violent and reckless Qianlixue just now.
Ji Xiu finally realized how terrifying the "Dao Lu" he held was.

"Can you 'put the result before the effect' and tell us to master the skills we come into contact with first and then practice them?"

“It is often said that it is difficult to enter. When faced with classics, one usually lingers at the threshold for several years before finally being unable to enter.”

"Now, I can completely reverse this process."

“That’s the horsemanship.”

"So, what about martial arts?"

Thinking of the power of Qin Biao's whip that he used to intimidate the servants and split the stone tablets with one whip, Ji Xiu's heart couldn't help but beat fast.

The bodyguard of a powerful county tyrant could be this strong.

Then
What about those warriors who truly "founded a sect" or served in the "county government"?

Crack!

A crisp sound!
Just when Ji Xiu couldn't help but be distracted and his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

Qin Biao came over with a big foot, whipped the ground hard with the whip, and panted heavily:

"Why don't you come down quickly!"

"This horse is so precious. It was bought by Master Lin for a hundred silver coins and given to the second young lady. It usually eats refined rice and flour, eggs and beans. How can a servant like you be allowed to sit on it?"

As he spoke, he winked at Ji Xiu.

When he came to his senses, he saw Second Miss Lin slowly approaching with the support of two maids from behind, and Ji Xiu's heart trembled, and he understood what she meant.

He was too proud just now.

I can't see clearly where this place is.

In the grand courtyard of the Lin residence.

He is the lowest of slaves!
What about horsemen, butchers, herbalists, accountants, and security guards?
Their status is above mine!
Not to mention, the person in front of him is a nobleman in the inner courtyard.

As Mr. Lin’s legitimate daughter.

If the second young lady had a stubborn and unreasonable temper, he would have had to accept thirty lashes and be grateful for the favor.

This is why after hearing Ji Wei's words, Ji Xiu scolded her and asked her whether she was ready to be a slave.
Once you enter this door, you can’t help yourself!

"Please forgive me, young lady!"

Ji Xiu jumped off the horse in one go, then turned around and lowered his head.

At this moment, any talk of taking emergency measures or doing it under duress is just empty talk.

If you meet someone with a good temper, maybe the problem will be solved by just smiling.

But if you meet someone with a bad temper.
I will only think that you, a servant, are shirking the responsibility and are cunning by nature.

After all, can the fault be placed on the master?
It's not you who is wrong, could it be my beloved horse who is wrong!

Only when you take the blame can it be considered real.

"Keep your head up."

Lin Ruyue spoke softly.

She waved to the two maids beside her.

Then he walked to Ji Xiu's side, curious, yet a little afraid of the fierce horse 'Qianlixue' in front of him. He wanted to touch it, but stopped.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu gave a timely reminder:

"Miss, the horse's temper has calmed down. It won't be a problem."

After he finished speaking, Lin Ruyue hesitated and then reached out her hand.

As Ji Xiu said, the horse's temperament had returned to its gentle state, and it even took the initiative to rub against the girl in the cloud skirt in front of it.

It was as if the excitement had passed and it had returned to its original harmless and tamed state.

"Ugh?"

Her eyes widened.

"I didn't expect that among the new servants who came into the house, there would be someone as skilled as you."

Lin Ruyue thought of what happened just now and felt a little scared. If Ji Xiu hadn't jumped on his horse and restrained him, she would have been hit too. In this way, she owed this young man a favor.

Thinking of this, and remembering the scene of the gold fragments scattered on Ji Xiu's profile just now, Lin Ruyue's impression of him improved a lot for a moment.

"When my father brought Qianlixue to me, he said that it was tamed and gentle, and it had never been so irritable in all these days."

She muttered to herself, frowning, as if she was puzzled.

It’s Ji Xiu.

Looking at the horse's belly, his eyelids fluttered, as if he was moved, but he didn't say anything.

As he learned horse riding, Ji Xiu was able to see why the horse suddenly became excited and irritable.

Because there is still some food residue in its abdomen, it is still bloated.

Through smell analysis, it is probably a kind of 'saffron pill', a drug that can make people excited and crazy.

Just now, probably because of an attack, he broke free from the restraints of the girl in the cloud skirt and jumped up.

I was lucky that I didn't ride on it, otherwise my life would be in danger.

There are many troubles in the houses of wealthy families.

But it has nothing to do with him, Ji Xiu.

Since the Second Miss Lin Ruyue did not vent her anger on him, it was naturally the best thing.

You just need to be careful and dormant, and after you have paid off all the prepaid costs of "horse riding", you can start planning "martial arts"
Ji Xiu was calculating in his mind, but he was frowning.

Train a horse a thousand times.

It's easy to say.

But even the inferior mule or horse would cost several taels of silver. His life was a pity, only worth three taels, not even as expensive as a mule or horse. If you really want to be serious, it's not certain who will tame whom.

Where could he find horses to raise and train?
The stables of the Lin residence are not accessible to ordinary servants. The fine rice, flour, beans and eggs inside are extremely valuable.

Moreover, the staffing is even less than that of the kitchen. Many servants with several years of experience are trying their best to get in and make some money, but in the end, there is still only one old man sitting on the throne.

Ji Xiu was unfamiliar with the place, so how could it be his turn?
"correct."

"You are so skilled at training horses, it would be a waste of your talent to be a tenant or a servant."

"You must be the newcomer to the house, right?"

"Guardian Qin, please inform the steward of the mansion and bring him... him... Hey, what's your name?"

No matter how hard you try, you won't find anywhere!
Hearing that there was a chance to go to the Stable, Ji Xiu was delighted, but he didn't show it on the surface. He just leaned forward and said:

"Villain Ji Xiu."

The girl in the cloud skirt nodded, pointed at Ji Xiu, then looked at Qin Biao and said:

"Yes, I will send Ji Xiu to the Stable to be a stable boy and take care of Qianlixue for me."

"If anyone asks, just say I said it, and give him some money as a reward. Looking at his skinny appearance, people who don't know him would think that I, the Lin family, am harshly criticizing the servants."

There was no disguising this.

He called the servants who had entered the Lin residence at the same time as Ji Xiu.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy, and at the same time, looking at Lin Ruyue's slowly leaving figure, they felt like they had something stuck in their throats, not knowing what to say.

Harsh or not
Even if there is, who dares to speak out?

Who can be as lucky as this guy?

Indeed, people's circumstances are different.
"You are lucky, kid. You are favored by the second lady and promoted to be a groom in the stables!"

"Tsk, tsk, this is a good job."

Watching Lin Ruyue walk away, Qin Biao put away his timid expression and walked to Ji Xiu's side, his eyes sparkling:
"The smooth movement just now was just like the waist and horse working together. If it weren't for your pale and skinny appearance, I would have never thought that..."

"I almost thought that some official from the county government had come to our house!"

He patted Ji Xiu on the shoulder, causing him to smile bitterly:
"Mr. Qin, you are joking. A blind cat catching a dead mouse cannot be counted."

"I trained cattle and sheep for the master for two years in my early years. I have no choice but to take a risk. Otherwise..."

Ji Xiu shook his head, revealing a look of fear, which made Qin Biao laugh out loud, and he felt quite comfortable with the flattery of "Master".

For a moment, even the fierceness on his face disappeared a bit:
"Opportunities are earned through hard work. Look, isn't this a reward?"

While talking,

Qin Biao whipped the servants and rebuked them for eavesdropping.
"Go away, go away, what are you all standing here for? Don't you want to do the work you were just assigned to do?"

"If you stay here any longer, be careful of my whip!"

After saying that, he looked at Ji Xiu with a friendly expression.

Just now, if Ji Xiu hadn't been there, if the young lady had been frightened, even though he looked very powerful in front of the servants, in the eyes of the master, a beating would have been the lightest punishment.

After all this, he was saved from a disaster.

After all, he was not a skilled warrior and did not have so many privileges.

Thinking of this, Qin Biao felt that this boy became much more pleasing to the eye.

"Come on, come on, brother, I'll take you to the stable."

"As for the term 'Master', you can't call me that casually. If it gets out in front of Master Lin, I won't be able to use it."
