Capítulo 88: The Jade Bracelet (4/6)

"Why? Is there a problem with my horse?" Feng Huan asked, narrowing his eyes, waiting for an answer. 

"No, I didn't mean there is anything wrong with your horse..." Xiong Jingfei was flabbergasted. He is kidding, right? "I'm just surprised you would allow me to ride your horse." 

She knows bits and pieces about the Feng's household through her father. When a son is born into the Feng's family, they would hold a huge feast and gift him a newborn horse. The newborn horse is raised by the Feng's servants until the son is old enough to care for it. 

Once he takes over, everything about the horse represents him as a person. If the horse is weak, then he is an inadequate master and leader. If the horse is healthy and vigorous. Its master is a good prospect for the future household. The horse is more than just an animal to them. It's their partner who goes through life and death with them out on the battlefield.
