Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 492: Light and Gentle [Thank you! Thank you again! I owe you 45k more]

"color!"

"it is good!"

Listening to the cheers not far away,
Sheng Hong, who was on the mound, leaned forward and looked in the direction of the sound.

Lord Liu, who was invited to the side, also made the same move.

"What's going on over there?"

Kang Haifeng asked.

"Go and see!"

"Yes."

Dong Rong, who had just rested for a while to catch his breath, ran down the slope again.

This time it took longer.
When Dong Rong ran back, Sheng Hong and his friends were already sitting on chairs and drinking two glasses of wine.

"how?"

Dong Rong bowed his hands, panting and said:

"My Lord, it's... it's the young men from the noble families in the capital who are selecting horses over there!"

Hearing this,

A colleague who was invited by Sheng Hong asked in confusion, "This duke's son has to come here to choose a horse?"

Kang Haifeng, who was standing by, held up his wine glass to hide the slightly mocking smile on his face. After finishing his glass, he said:

"Master Yan, you don't think that the herd of horses in front of these young masters is the same as the one we just saw, do you?"

The official called Lord Yan looked at Lord Liu in confusion: "Is it different?"

Master Liu, Sheng Hong's classmate, turned his eyes and looked to the side: "Brother Sheng?"

Sheng Hong: "Why don't we go over there? We'll know if it's the same after a look!"

After these words were spoken, the others nodded.

On the way down the hill,

Kang Haifeng pulled Sheng Hong's sleeve.

Sheng Hong understood and slowed down his pace.

Kang Haifeng raised his chin towards Lord Yan and whispered, "Where did this Yan come from? After I knew he was working in the southeast, I asked him how he got promoted to Bian Jing, but he wouldn't tell me."

Although the Kang family has declined somewhat, it was once prosperous. Kang Haifeng has been in Bianliang for so many years that he knows quite a few officials.

He also knew that the emperor had previously suppressed the promotion of many officials in the southeast.

With Lord Yan being such a 'special case', he was naturally curious.

Sheng Hong blinked and said in a normal tone, "Lord Yan Qingyan had made great contributions in suppressing bandits in the south. He personally captured and killed many fierce bandit leaders! He was promoted in this normal way!"

Hearing this, Kang Haifeng looked at Lord Yan in front of him and asked in surprise: "He, will come on stage in person?"

Sheng Hong nodded repeatedly. He vaguely remembered that he was still in the Yan family yard!
At Xu Zaijing's place,

Listening to the applause and cheers from people around me,

Seeing Xu Zaijing, Qingyun and others giving him a thumbs up,
Alan, who had just tamed a horse, jumped off the horse's bare back somewhat embarrassedly.

After bowing to the guys, Alan patted the chestnut-furred horse beside him.

Subsequently,

Alan took the reins handed over by the horseman.

In no time, he skillfully tied the rope into a bridle and walked over, leading the horse.

"Sixth Master, you have a good eye. This Hualiu is over two years old. It has strong limbs and a sturdy frame. Its steps are even more agile. It is a good candidate for a war horse!"

Listening to Alan's words, Liang Han nodded with a smile on his face, and took the reins handed to him by Alan with a look of love.

After looking at Xin Ma, Liang Han turned his head and looked straight at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Jing, can you let Alan come to my house?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "No!"

Liang Han: "Is it okay if they want to come to my house?"

"Ask yourself."

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, Liang Han looked at Alan and said, "Would you like to come to my Yongchang Marquis's Mansion? If you can come, I will definitely guarantee your future!"

The fishing cart next to Liang Han looked at Xu Zaijing uncomfortably, and then looked at Alan.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sixth Young Master."

Alan bowed.

"No, Alan, what conditions do you propose?"

Gu Tingye looked at Alan who bowed again and walked towards Qi Heng. He put his arm around Liang Han's shoulders and said:
"Liu Lang, what future can you guarantee for others? Don't you even look at Alan's martial arts level?"

As he spoke, Gu Tingye handed the Ringo in his other hand to Liang Han: "Quick, feed your new horse."

the other side,
A horseman came over with a horse lasso.
Xunshu walked forward, calmed the horse, looked carefully, and then shook his head at Xu Zaijing and others.

The horses were released back into the herd.
Xunshu also walked in front of Xu Zaijing, and Qingyun asked, "Xunshu, what happened to that horse?"

"Brother Qingyun, that horse's eyes are a little cloudy, like fish eyes. Although it has a good stature, it will probably be timid and easily frightened in the future."

Qingyun nodded: "Well, this kind of riding is indeed not suitable for a kid like Chu Zhan."

The crowd picked for a while.

With the presence of Qingyun, Alan and several other people who were experts in horse appraisal, the group picked out several good horses.

Changbai and Changfeng also each bought a horse from Qingyun.

There are many people who go up to Maotuo Hill to have a feast.

The noise made by the crowd here also attracted many people to join in the fun.

There were a few horses that Qi Heng, Gu Tingye and others didn't want, and they were picked up by the onlookers.

Xu Zaijing was watching the whole process, and when he looked around boredly, he happened to see Sheng Hong and others walking towards him.

The people next to Xu Zaijing watched Xu Zaijing walk out of the crowd and looked back.

Afterwards, everyone followed Xu Zaijing's footsteps, and when they walked outside the crowd, they greeted people with greetings, calling them "uncle, uncle".

Changbai and Changfeng bowed and called their father and uncle.

Sheng Hong nodded with a smile on his face and said, "You nephews, please don't be polite when you come out to play."

Lord Yan, who was standing by, also smiled and bowed in return. He looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "I haven't seen Wulang and Erlang for a few years. You have become more handsome than ever."

Xu Zaijing bowed and said, "Your Excellency is also in high spirits." Gu Tingye also bowed, but was obviously still thinking about it.

Lord Yan smiled and waved his hands: "Hahaha! Wulang, you are too kind."

Sheng Hong, who was about to introduce someone, looked at the two people talking with surprise and asked in confusion: "Brother Yan, what's going on between you and Wu Lang?"

Lord Yan smiled and said, "I met Wu Lang a few times in Chuzhou a few years ago."

After hearing this, Gu Tingye, who was standing by, turned his eyes around and looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Sheng Hong smiled and nodded: "Oh! I see! Come, let me introduce you, this is Lord Liu from the Dali Temple."

After another introduction,

Sheng Hong looked at the good horses selected by the sons of several noble families, and after thinking for a while, he said to Xu Zaijing: "Wu Lang, are there any horses worth buying in this herd?"

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing looked at Qingyun who nodded and said, "Uncle, there are some in there! Do you want to buy one?"

Changbai and Changfeng, who were standing aside, looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

Sheng Hong nodded: "Although I usually ride in a carriage, it's also good to have a horse ready."

Xu Zaijing understood and raised his chin towards Qingyun and Alan who heard the conversation between the two.

Looking at the three people who were getting on their horses and taking the lassoes from the horseman, Xu Zaijing said:
"Uncle, 'choose light and swift horses for the army, and gentle and soft horses for the imperial court.' Although you will ride a horse in the future, wait until Qingyun and the other two pick a horse you like, and then let them train it for you."

Sheng Hong nodded repeatedly: "Okay, it couldn't be better."

Lord Yan, standing aside, smiled and said, "Wu Lang, could you please ask the servant of the Marquis' Mansion to help me pick one as well?"

Seeing that Lord Liu was also bowing and about to speak, Xu Zaijing could only nod at him: "Well, the lords, please wait a moment."

Watching Xu Zaijing turn around and leave, Lord Liu asked Sheng Hong curiously, "Brother Sheng, why did you think of buying a horse?"

"Keep it in reserve, keep it in reserve!" After Sheng Hong finished speaking, he whispered to Lord Liu:
"You saw the emperor's reaction to the proposal about the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun during the court session a few days ago." "Although we can't say anything, we have to do something."

Lord Liu nodded in approval and whispered, "Brother Sheng is the one who thinks things through."

Thinking about what he had heard during these days' conversations with Old Madam Sheng at home, Sheng Hong waved his hands and said, "No, no."

On the other side, Lord Yan took his eyes off Changbai and walked over to say, "Brother Sheng, I heard that your brothers Bai and Feng passed the imperial examinations at such a young age. That's amazing!"

Lord Liu nodded in agreement and with some envy.

Kang Haifeng curled his lips secretly.
Sheng Hong quickly smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's just a coincidence, just a coincidence, they are just lucky."

"Two children's marriage"

Sheng Hong shook his head: "He is just a candidate for the imperial examination. We will see after the imperial examination in two years."

Lord Yan smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The end of Sishi (before 11:00 a.m.)

Polo Field,
In the flower path surrounded by chrysanthemums and plants,

The girl from the Yan family, who had just come to Beijing with her parents, was walking among the flowers with her maid and two girls from civil servant families.

"Look girl, it's Yang Feiju."

Listening to the words of the maid beside them, the three girls looked over.

"This pink is so pretty, I wonder if it can be used to paint nails or fabric."

The girl from the Yan family said,

The girl walking beside her nodded repeatedly.

The maid at the polo field not far away heard the conversation and came over with a smile. After bowing, she said, "Dear guests, this is a famous product grown in the breeding garden in the west of the city! If you like it, please let me know your address and someone will deliver it to you."

The three girls looked at each other, and the girl from the Yan family said, "Okay, my home is..."

After the three of them finished speaking, they smiled and nodded to the maid who bowed again, then continued walking forward.

The Yan family girl smiled and said, "Sister, when these flowers are delivered to our home, should we give them money?"

The companion at the side looked at the girl from the Yan family and said, "Of course I have to give it to her! I can't let anyone give it away for free!"

"Mrs. Wu is the most kindhearted person in the capital. Many families would ask her to look for married men and women. It would be bad if she left a reputation of being stingy."

The girl from the Yan family nodded repeatedly.

After walking for a while, the three men and the maid had already walked out of the path.

At this time,

The girl from the Yan family saw a noble lady with an uneasy look on her face, standing at the door of a tent not far away, with a young boy beside her.

Looking at the two people at the door,
The girl from the Yan family looked at her companion and then walked away without going closer.

Watching the group of people walking away, Lu Zezong turned his head to one of the six golden flowers of the third branch of the Lu family and said, “Cousin, why don’t you go back? I’ll play here for a while.”

The girl from the third room of the Lu family shook her head: "No, mother has repeatedly told you that you can't be alone."

The Yan family girl and her group walked a few more steps.
I saw a group of noble ladies with outstanding temperament, manners, clothes and jewelry near the railing in front of the second floor platform of the wooden building in front of me.

Following the sight of Miss Yan, her companion beside her also took a look and said:

"Su Jun, stop looking! They are the legitimate daughters of several dukes and marquises in the capital. They are too noble and their families are too high. It's not easy for us to get close to them."

"Do they look down on people? Or do they make sarcastic remarks?" the girl from the Yan family asked doubtfully.

"That's not the case! But I'm not related to them and I'm not familiar with them! Standing in front of them, my clothes and jewelry are not as good as those maids, and I want others to laugh at me?"

Seeing the curious look in the eyes of Miss Yan, another companion said:

"Su Jun, let me tell you, the one at the edge is from the Chai family, the one next to them is from the Yingguo Duke Zhang family, the one in the middle is from the Fuchang Marquis Rong family, and the one smiling is from the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family. Most of them are long-time nobles, and have been rich for generations."

Hearing the last part of "Ningyuan Hou Gu family", Su Jun, the girl from the Yan family, was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, she walked aside with her companions.

On the second floor,
Gu Tingyi noticed the gaze from downstairs and looked down.

Looking at the three people approaching, Gu Tingyi looked at the girl in the middle with some confusion.

Then, Gu Tingyi said, "Wait a minute, I have something to do."

Chai Zhengzheng and the other two just nodded,

Gu Tingyi turned around and walked quickly to the other side of the second-floor platform. After pulling Pingmei up from her seat, he said, "Sister-in-law, come over and take a look. The girl downstairs looks familiar to me."

Pingmei hurriedly smiled and nodded to the ladies beside her, then stood up and walked over with Tingyi.

When she came to the railing, Pingmei looked at the three girls who bowed to her, and hurriedly nodded with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, do you think that man is the one we met in Chuzhou?"

Pingmei nodded and looked down along Tingyi's hand. Looking at Yan Sujun, who was in the middle of the three civil servants' girls, Pingmei frowned, thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, she is the girl who followed Xiaowu on our boat that year."

Pingmei finished her words.
The three girls standing by the railings suddenly pricked up their ears.

Of course, Zhang Jia Wu Niang was just curious. What about the other two?
"Isn't it? It's fate! Sister-in-law, shall we go down and take a look first?"

Tingyi said this and pulled Pingmei downstairs.

The three girls upstairs looked at each other.

Wu Niang looked gossipy and asked, "Let's go?"

"Let's go!" the other two girls said in unison.

"Three girls, please stay."

Listening to the shouts behind me,
Yan Sujun and his companions stopped and looked back in confusion.

Qing Zhi came over quickly, looked at Yan Sujun with a smile on her face, and said, "Miss, I am from the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. My lady wants to talk to you."

After saying that, Qingzhi stretched out his hand as if reaching out backwards.

Looking at the surprised expressions of her two friends, Yan Sujun smiled and nodded. She clamped her two companions' hands tightly so that they could not break free, and then walked towards Gu Tingyi who was smiling and waving at her from behind.

Walked closer,

The girl from the Yan family looked at the three noble ladies standing behind Gu Tingyi, and felt deeply that what her two companions had said just now was very right.

But she could only smile and bow to Ping Mei, saying, "Greetings, Madam!"

After that, he bowed to Tingyi, Zhengzheng and other noble ladies and said, "Greetings, four sisters. May your makeup be well."

Chai Zhengzheng, Rong Feiyan and others as well as the maids behind them hurriedly returned the greetings.

Gu Tingyi took a step forward and said, "I didn't expect that after parting in Chuzhou, we would have the chance to meet again."

Yan Sujun also nodded with some emotion: "It seems like it was just yesterday when I watched the pot-tossing game in the building that day."

In fact, the two girls are not very close sisters.

It was just that in Chuzhou, the two of them listened to the story of a certain lady together, were inspired together, and grew together.

Afterwards, Yan Sujun turned her head and said to Pingmei, "Madam, you look better than before."

After saying that, Yan Sujun felt the three scrutinizing gazes from behind Ting Yi and Ping Mei, and she looked back with a puzzled smile.

Hearing this, Ping Mei smiled and nodded, saying, "Come, let's go upstairs and sit down and talk."

After Pingmei finished speaking, Zhang Jia Wu Niang smiled and nodded: "Yes, let's go upstairs and talk."

Everyone went to the second floor again.

Chai Zhengzheng walked at the end with a smile.
Her personal maids Yunmu, Ziteng and others were naturally waiting downstairs.

When Yunmu looked to the side, he saw Lu Zezong standing with his cousin.

"Miss, the young master of Duke Lian is over there. He looks a little..."

Chai Zhengzheng took a look and said, "Go ask."

Go up to the second floor platform,

There was a sound of horse hooves outside the polo field, and dust was rising.

quickly,

Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and a group of people rushed into the racecourse.

On the second floor,
Looking at Xu Zaijing and others covered in dust, Mrs. Wu shook her head somewhat depressed.

Gu Tingyi on the second floor waved at them.
