Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 201 Minglan’s smile

Li An watched Qi Heng leave and turned to look at the British government's tent. He only saw two maids staying behind, and the rest were not there.

After looking around, I saw Minglan and the others at the Chuiwan venue.

Chuiwan, also known as step polo, is somewhat similar to golf in later generations. It is a game where you use a stick to hit the ball into a hole.

Zhang Guifen, Liu Waner, and Ru Lan were playing, while Mo Lan, Ming Lan, and Sheng Changbai were watching.

Li An walked over and looked at it from the side.

The distance between Chuiwan's hole and the starting point is not far, only a few meters.

It can be seen that both Ru Lan and Liu Waner played well, basically scoring holes in two.

But compared with Zhang Guifen, it is far behind, and she is in trouble again and again.

"Sister Zhang San, you are too awesome."

"Why don't you go down and play?"

Zhang Guifen nodded slightly and handed the handkerchief to the maid without saying anything else.

There were many fun activities on the polo field, but the only one she was good at was ball-pounding.

The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, and military generals were inferior to civil servants. Even Zhang Guifen, who came from a martial arts family, could not refute this.

I excitedly wanted to show off, but I didn't expect Zhang Guifen to be so powerful.

However, she gave up the idea when she thought that Liu Waner had told her that Li An County was the first person to win the case.

Zhang Guifen looked at Ming Lan and Mo Lan and said.

"I usually like poetry, but I'm not very good at these things, so I won't show my shame. Sixth sister, aren't you a good thrower? Why don't you go and have fun." Mo Lan said with a smile.

Her father often complained at home that he had no successors in the army.

"You two go play, I'm going to take a break." Zhang Guifen said.

"Ru Lan, let's have a game." Liu Waner said with a smile.

"Thank you Miss Zhang San for the compliment." Li An thanked her.

At the end of the game, Rulan was a little discouraged.

Zhang Guifen stepped back, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She looked at Li An and smiled and said, "Master Li plays polo very well."

However, Li An used his strategy to gain the upper hand and win.

Zhang Guifen plays polo very well. It is natural to see that compared with Qi Heng and Sheng Changfeng in the team of Li An and Sheng Changbai, there is obviously a gap in terms of technique alone.

Zhang Guifen had the idea to introduce Li An to her father.

Although it was just a polo match, it also showed Ang Lee's strategy and courage.

In fact, she originally wanted to ask Li An if he had studied the art of war.

He is a good scholar with good grades, but if he tries to persuade him to join the army, it looks like he is trying to trick him.

From the scene just now, it can be seen that she and Ru Lan have similar skills.

When Zhang Guifen heard Mo Lan's words, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Mo Lan said that she likes poetry but is not very good at these things. Doesn’t the underlying meaning mean that these things are relatively vulgar?
When he heard what Mo Lan said, his eyes lit up, he looked at Minglan and said, "Sixth girl knows how to throw pots?"

"I just play in my spare time to relieve my boredom, but I can't talk about it." Minglan said.

Mo Lan saw Qi Heng walking towards this side from the corner of her eye. She deliberately amplified her voice and said with a smile, "Sixth sister, don't be modest. You defeated the second son of the Gu Hou family back then."

Zhang Guifen was even more surprised when she heard this and looked at Minglan, and even felt like she was happy to see him.

Why is Gu Tingye called the number one dandy in Bianjing?

Not only because he often hangs out in the Qin Lou and Chu Halls, but more importantly, whether it is polo pitching or cockfighting and cricket fighting, he is the best among the young masters of Bianjing.

Because she is a woman, she has not competed with Gu Tingye, but she has a good reputation.

Gu Tingye could convince all the young masters in Bianjing, which shows that his skills are very superb.

Zhang Guifen also liked these. When she heard that Minglan was better than Gu Tingye, she had the urge to compete with her.

"I just heard you guys talking about how you defeated my second uncle, what are you going to talk about?"

At this moment, Qi Heng came over and asked with a smile.

"Second uncle?"

Among the crowd, Zhang Guifen, Sheng Changbai, and Li An knew that the Gu family and the Qi family were related, but Mo Lan and Ming Lan did not know, so they looked at Qi Heng with some confusion. "Weren't you talking about Gu Tingye just now? There are some relatives in our two families. According to the seniority, I have to call him second uncle." Qi Heng explained and asked: "What did you just say to win the second uncle? Didn't the second uncle go You have been studying in Bailudong for many years, have you come back?"

"Brother Yuanruo, we are talking about things from the past. I'm afraid you don't know. Back then in Yangzhou, Uncle Gu and my sixth sister had a throwing pot competition and lost." Mo Lanjiao said with a smile.

Qi Heng looked at Minglan in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Qi Heng was not surprised that Minglan could throw pot.

Even ordinary people can play pot throwing, a pastime. Minglan knows how to throw pot, so there is nothing surprising.

What surprised him was that Minglan could beat Gu Tingye.

"Haha, it was Zhong Huai who gave way to his roommate in the beginning."

Sheng Changbai quickly came out to smooth things over and glared at Mo Lan without any trace.

If this matter continues, it will be revealed that Yuan Wenchun deliberately wanted to embarrass the Sheng family.

Although the Yuan family did something unethical, the two families are now in-laws. If this incident spreads in Bianjing, or from the Sheng family, how will Hualan deal with it in the Yuan family?

Mo Lan also reacted and said with a stiff face: "Yes, it was Second Uncle Gu who gave way to Sixth Sister."

She saw Qi Heng coming over and said this deliberately to hit Minglan.

Mo Lan always felt that Qi Heng was of noble birth and liked to read. He would definitely like someone who was knowledgeable and courteous and had the same hobbies as him.

Therefore, he did not regard Minglan as his opponent, but just wanted to improve himself by stepping on Minglan.

She has no relationship with Hualan. The worse Hualan's life is in her husband's family, the happier she is.

But she knew that this matter must not come out of her mouth, otherwise her father would definitely be angry if he found out.

Zhang Guifen and Qi Heng realized that there must be some inside story, but did not ask further questions.

Just as Ru Lan and Liu Waner came over after deciding the winner, Zhang Guifen proposed to throw the pot. No one objected, and a group of people went to the pot throwing area.

Just after beating the pill, Ru Lan won. Liu Waner was a little unconvinced and called Ru Lan to compete in throwing pots.

Qi Heng also extended an invitation to Li An.

In terms of polo skills, Li An admits that he is indeed a little worse than Qi Heng. After all, he has only been playing polo for three years. He usually needs to study and doesn't play much.

But he is still somewhat confident in throwing pots, so naturally he will not refuse.

They went to throw pots in two teams, and only Zhang Guifen, Sheng Changbai and Minglan Molan were left.

Zhang Guifen looked at Minglan and said, "Miss Six, why don't we play together?"

"Since Ms. Zhang San invited me, I will play with Ms. Zhang San, but my vote is really average, so don't dislike Miss Zhang San." Minglan said.

"Haha, it's just for fun." Zhang Guifen said with a smile.

The maid went to ask for a venue, and the two of them walked over there.

After walking for a while, Zhang Guifen said softly: "Miss Six, I hope you can use all your skills and don't give in to me."

Minglan was startled, hesitated for a while, and nodded: "Okay."

Since being punished by her mother for throwing pot, and her mother was in danger, Minglan has learned to hide her clumsiness from the little girl who deliberately acted to attract her father's attention.

Originally, Minglan just refused because of Zhang Guifen's invitation.

Now that she heard Zhang Guifen say this, she hesitated for a moment and prepared not to hide her clumsiness.

After several contacts, she gained some understanding of Zhang Guifen's character.

Zhang Guifen knows how to throw a pot, but if she hides her clumsiness in front of her, it will be easy to be discovered.

Now that she has said so, it would be bad if she hides her clumsiness again.

Li An hit an arrow and said with a smile: "Si Chi, Yuan Ruo, it's your turn."

After Li An finished speaking, he received no response. He turned his head and looked at Qi Heng behind him, and found that he was staring blankly in one direction.

Following his gaze, Li An saw Minglan holding an arrow aimed at the mouth of the pot.

"Shu~"

Minglan threw the arrow hard, and the headless arrow drew an arc in the air and sank into the mouth of the pot.

Seeing that the shot was successful, a bright smile appeared on Minglan's face.
