The cheers grew louder and louder, making the blood of the group boil and inexplicably excited.
"Draw lots," Gu Tingye called out.
As a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf, he was very familiar with the rules of the polo field.
Ten people drew lots in succession.
Jiang Zhao, Gu Tingye, Zhao Ceying, Zhao Zhong, and Su Zhe are the five members of Zuo Peng.
Han Jiayan, Wang Shao, Zhao Shiyi, Zhao Shiqian, and Zhao Shicheng were the five members of the Right Fellowship.
"Howl!"
"Howl!"
Ten people got on the horse one after another.
The ten horses, specially selected for polo, are very docile and do not resist being ridden by strangers.
Apart from Jiang Zhao, the nine people stood facing each other.
Jiang Zhao pulled on the reins and slowly walked to the very center.
"Snapped!"
With a swing of the club, the polo ball flew out.
"drive!"
"drive!"
Gu Tingye and Wang Shao were both quite skilled in martial arts. They rode their horses at full speed and competed to swing their golf clubs.
Thus, the polo match began.
The long shouts were endless.
Long Pavilion.
Thirty or forty wives and noblewomen of officials watched intently as polo was played.
The organizer, Madam Wu, had her energy somewhat scattered.
As the organizer, she had to keep a close eye on the situation on the field and couldn't just focus on the polo match.
After all, as the organizer, her primary focus was on "organizing" rather than "participating".
If Kim Myung Chi Polo Club wants to last, it must pay attention to the overall situation on the field and avoid any mistakes that could damage its reputation.
"what?"
At that fleeting glance, Madam Wu's expression changed slightly.
At the edge of the stadium, Liang Han, the son, was chatting and laughing with a girl holding a flower fan.
However, from her perspective, she could not see the girl's appearance.
Judging solely from her figure, she is absolutely a beauty.
"Go and fetch him here." Madam Wu summoned her maid, her face stern.
It's perfectly acceptable for someone to flirt with women occasionally.
How can one be so dissolute in front of everyone at a polo match?
"Yes." The maid bowed and was about to leave when Madam Wu coughed.
Turning around, he saw Madam Wu beckoning.
In just a moment, Madam Wu's attitude changed.
Nothing more than the girl holding the flower fan turning her head, and Madam Wu saw what the girl with the flower fan looked like.
She has excellent looks!
However, this is not the point.
The key point is that she had met that girl.
The younger sister of Lady Sheng, the Lady of Nanyang County!
This alone was enough to change her attitude.
After all, the young Grand Secretary easily supported Gu Tingye and Wang Shao, two powerful figures.
Gu Tingye needs no introduction; he is already a representative figure among the younger generation of noble scions.
Wang Shao was a representative of those who "abandoned their pens for arms," and was granted the title of Earl, seemingly a figure who could expect to wear a purple robe.
if
In that instant, Madam Wu's mind was filled with countless thoughts.
The young Grand Secretary was able to support Gu Tingye and Wang Shao, and he could also support Liang Han!
Even the young Grand Secretary didn't need to take action.
If there's even the slightest connection, Gu Tingye and Wang Shao will make the arrangements.
Is this a stroke of good fortune, and the Yongchang Earl's Mansion is about to prosper?
"Madam?" The maid returned, somewhat puzzled.
"Alright, tell him not to be presumptuous and to pay attention to his manners and etiquette," Madam Wu solemnly instructed.
The maid nodded and hurried over.
On the other side, Sheng Hualan's expression changed slightly, and she called her personal maid: "Call Fourth Sister over."
The maid nodded and hurried over.
"The incense sticks have burned out."
"Zuo Peng has ten moves; Zuo Peng wins!"
A colorful flag was planted, and Sheng Changbai struck a gong and drum, announcing the news.
Twenty-four colorful flags, representing twenty-four different items.
In theory, the side that wins thirteen chips is the winner.
However, a stick of specially made incense only burns for half an hour.
Hitting thirteen chips in a quarter of an hour is no easy feat.
Generally, the game ends when all the incense sticks are used up, and the player with the most flags wins.
"How much is the right-hand man?" Zhao Shiyi, son of the Prince of Yan, wiped his sweat and asked.
The feeling of being the center of attention is just so exhilarating.
In the past, if he played for half an hour, he would definitely be exhausted.
This time, he played for half an hour, still full of energy and not yet satisfied.
“Seven rounds,” Sheng Changbai replied.
"Let's have another round!" Zhao Shiyi shouted, looking at the remaining people.
"Come!"
"Come!"
"Come!"
The group nodded in agreement.
Apart from Jiang Zhao, who had the experience of being adored by a thousand people, none of the others had this feeling.
Even Gu Tingye and Wang Shao, who had led troops for a long time, were no exception.
After all, the praise of the soldiers is different from the cheers of the onlookers.
"boom!"
Sheng Changbai struck a gong and drum.
"start!"
Chapter 133 Fathers do not know their sons, and sons do not know their fathers! (4k)
The stars twinkle, the lights are dim.
"Xu."
The driver pulled on the reins, and the horse stopped.
Gu Tingye lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, holding onto a wooden pillar.
This time, the Jinmingchi Polo Club gathered more than a thousand people.
Jiang Zhao, Su Zhe, Han Jiayan, Gu Tingye, Wang Shao, Zhao Shiyi, Zhao Shiqian, Zhao Zhong, Zhao Shicheng, and Zhao Ceying all took to the stage together, drawing cheers and shouts from over a thousand people, which was truly exhilarating.
The ten players played polo for a full half hour.
The horse gallops swiftly to strike the ball, its hooves flying, and cheers resound.
After playing polo, they called on Sheng Changbai, and the eleven of them went fishing, playing marbles, and pitch-pot together, playing until dusk.
So they went to Guangyuntai together.
They listened to music and drank wine, playing until the end of Hai hour (9 PM).
With a wave of his hand, a faint smell of alcohol wafted through the air, and Gu Tingye couldn't help but look up at the sky with his hands behind his back.
Yu Yanhong!
A name floated through my mind and wouldn't leave.
This is definitely not a good match!
Judging from the situation at the polo match, Yu Yanhong's temperament is quite awful.
As the favored younger sister, she bullies her older sister who has lost their mother.
Not only that, Yu Yanhong even had her maids steal Yu Yanran's deceased mother's belongings repeatedly.
Gu Tingye frowned slightly.
He, too, is a man without a mother!
Furthermore, his older brother, Gu Tingyu, often targeted him.
Therefore, he was undoubtedly quite disgusted by Yu Yanhong's actions.
Gu Tingye sighed.
My mother, Madam Qin, has always been virtuous and kind, and she is very knowledgeable about the lives of the sons of the powerful and noble families.
How could I have misjudged this time?
"call!"
He blew out a breath reeking of alcohol, but Gu Tingye didn't think much of it.
Even the best of men make mistakes, and even the best of horses stumble.
No one can be perfect in everything they do, so it's not surprising that my mother made a mistake.
After all, who would have thought that the eldest granddaughter of the dignified Grand Tutor Yu would have no manners whatsoever, and even be of bad character!
With a sudden thought, Gu Tingye strode towards the main hall.
He wanted to break off the engagement before the marriage was finalized!
Today, he is friends with the seven sons of Emperor Jiayou, has the strong support of the young Grand Secretary, and has even established a good relationship with the next generation of the Crown Prince. He is clearly in the prime of his career and is developing towards the path of a "scholar-general".
There are essentially two requirements for getting a wife:
First, be law-abiding and virtuous.
Second, provide appropriate support as much as possible, and try to ensure that the applicant comes from a civil service family.
In this generation, the military nobles were led by the Duke of Yingguo, the Marquis of Ningyuan, and the Marquis of Zhongjing.
As the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningyuan, if he wanted to find a wife who could help him from the military side, he would only be able to find a woman of the same caliber as the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo or the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhongjing.
