As the commander-in-chief of Xiliang, General Yuan often inspects the Twelve Army Towns, so the Yuan family also has a mansion here in Ganzhou City.

The horse racing meeting is a grand event in Xiliang. Mrs. Yuan brought all the young ladies from the house to Ganzhou City to let the children relax.

"That Cao Xingwu is really annoying. He likes to compare everything with his elder brother."

"Let's compete. It's not like I can't compete with my eldest brother."

"We can compete with each other, but I just look at him and get annoyed. In the past, I competed with my elder brother in knowledge and kung fu, let alone those things. But now Miss Ren clearly likes the elder brother, and he insists on running out to join in the fight.

It’s so annoying.”

In Mrs. Yuan's room, several girls from the Yuan family are chatting.

Because the Yuan family and the Cao family are both military attaches, the two families are competing with each other overtly and covertly.

Miss Yuan looked at Mrs. Yuan: "Mom, I heard that the Cao family has sent a message to Mrs. Ren again. Let's also send a message to Mrs. Ren and invite Miss Ren to play at home?"

Mrs. Yuan glanced at her daughter: "You girl, don't worry about this kind of thing. Don't go out and talk nonsense." After a pause, "It's rare to come to Ganzhou City. You guys should go out more often."

"This Ganzhou City, because King Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan stayed in it in the early years, its wealth and prosperity are no worse than Liangdu. The most beautiful terraced fields in Xiliang are just outside Ganzhou City. They were rebuilt by Princess Weiyuan in person. You guys

You can go and see it together."

Miss Yuan smiled and said: "I was just thinking about going to see it. I heard that these terraces were rebuilt from the slope of the mountain." She said with admiration on her face, "I really don't know how Princess Weiyuan came up with this idea?

”

Mrs. Yuan smiled and sighed: "Without King Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan, there would be no Xiliang today. More than 20 years ago, Xiliang was a frontier place that everyone avoided."

"But now, the border troops are strong and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. The once barren land has become the largest grain-producing and tax-producing province in Daxia. How many officials are trying to come here to serve as officials so that their

The political achievements look better."

Miss Yuan quickly said: "Mother, I heard that the prince and princess have returned to Xiliang. Will they attend the horse racing meeting?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yuan had some regrets on her face. She came to Ganzhou too early this time. When she got here, she heard that the prince and princess had returned to Xiliang, but she quickly recovered.

Mrs. Ren came to Ganzhou just a few days ago, but she didn't meet the prince or princess. This shows that even if she is in Liangdu, she may not be able to meet people.

"The first horse racing meeting was organized by King Weiyuan. Since we meet this time, I will most likely participate."

Miss Yuan immediately said excitedly: "Then we can see Princess Weiyuan? I heard that the princess is very good-looking, but I don't know who is better than Miss Ren?"

Mrs. Yuan immediately scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can Miss Ren be compared with the princess? You are becoming less and less mature now, and you dare to say anything nonsense!"

Miss Yuan knew she had made a mistake and quickly admitted her mistake: "Mother, I was wrong. I just thought that everyone said that Miss Ren is the most beautiful woman in Xiliang, so I asked this question."

After saying that, he slapped himself in the mouth and said, "It shouldn't be compared like this. The princess is the elder, so the competition should be between her daughter and Miss Ren!"

"Bang!"

Mrs. Yuan placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table, and looked at Miss Yuan seriously: "In recent years, my family has pampered you to the extreme. Who is Princess Chun'an, and who is Miss Ren? They

Are the two comparable?"

Miss Yuan shrank her neck: "I didn't say status, I meant appearance..."

Mrs. Yuan scolded sternly: "Nothing is allowed!"

Miss Yuan was so frightened that she trembled: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, that's all. Mother, don't be angry."

Mrs. Yuan snorted and looked at her eldest daughter with a headache. The folk customs in Xiliang are extensive. Due to the opening of the mutual trade, the influx of countries from the Western Regions has resulted in the restriction of women here being less stringent than in other provinces. In this environment, her daughter's temperament

He was raised to be very carefree.

"Mom, don't be angry. I took my sisters out to play. Let's go!"

Miss Yuan saw Mrs. Yuan's expression was wrong and ran away decisively.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuan sighed helplessly.

The confidant next to her smiled and consoled her: "Madam, don't be angry. The girl is straightforward and cheerful. Tell her carefully and she will understand."

Mrs. Yuan shook her head: "This girl's temperament has been determined. It's fine in Xiliang, but once she returns to Beijing, she will definitely be disliked. In the future, she can only find her husband's family in Xiliang."

As he said that, he took the tea from grandma and took a sip.

"Ruyi's matter is not urgent, but Yonghao... is already twenty-one this year, so we must hurry up and decide on his future marriage."

Saying that, he sighed again.

"Our family has been living in Xiliang for a long time, and we don't know many good girls. Although we asked my sister-in-law to help me look at her in the capital, I didn't see her with my own eyes, so I am always a little worried."

Auntie: "Madam...don't you like Miss Ren?"

Mrs. Yuan did not speak immediately. She was silent for a while before speaking: "The Ren family is from a good family, but Miss Ren looks so delicate and weak. How do you make me believe that she has the ability to help Yonghao support the Yuan family?"

"Miss Ren, it's not that she's bad, she's just like a delicate flower in a vase, she needs to be cared for all the time. I don't want Yonghao to be too tired in the future."

"Besides, I looked at her coldly, and Yonghao didn't like Miss Ren very much either."

Mammy was stunned: "But the eldest young master has fought with Mr. Cao several times because of Miss Ren."

Mrs. Yuan smiled: "He, it's not because of Miss Ren. He just doesn't want to lose to the boy from the Cao family." After saying that, he paused and said, "Before coming to Ganzhou, the master told me about the girl from the Dong family.

."

Nanny: "A girl from the Dong family of the prefect of Ganzhou?"

Mrs. Yuan nodded: "The master admires Mr. Dong's talents very much. Although Mr. Dong is only a fourth-grade prefect now, he has King Weiyuan behind him. If he really wants to be transferred to a higher position, with his ability

Very simple thing."

"Furthermore, the Dong family comes from a high-ranking noble family in the capital. Although it fell into trouble along the way, hasn't it made a comeback? The girls raised by this family must be good."

Mammy: "In that case, why don't you find an opportunity to meet Mrs. Dong and Miss Dong?"

Mrs. Yuan smiled: "I definitely want to meet you, but you have to find a suitable opportunity."

......

Dong Mansion.

"I'm so bored. When can we go out to play?" Xiao Keyan was bored and took a flower and broke off the petals.

Dong Jingyi smiled and said: "After two days of insisting, I heard from my brother that the racecourse will be decorated soon, and then we can go horse racing."

Xiao Keyan's expression brightened: "Really? I can finally go out and do some activities."

Two days later, accompanied by Dong Zhenghua, Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi, and Sun Lanxin, dressed in neat riding attire, rode to the racecourse with heroic appearance.

Looking at the empty racecourse, Xiao Keyan looked at the Dong brothers and sisters with a smile: "Brother Dong, Jing Yi, Lan Xin, how about we compete to see whose riding skills are better?"

Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin immediately nodded in agreement.

Looking at the three people who were eager to try, Dong Zhenghua smiled helplessly: "Since you want to compete, I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman."

The four of them rode horses to the starting point. When they saw the maid waving the flag, they all flew out like arrows from the string.

There are not only the four Xiao Keyan people on the racecourse, but also other people. Although the horse racing meeting has not started yet, many people have come to familiarize themselves with the venue.

"Drive~"

Xiao Keyan's riding skills were taught by Xiao Yeyang personally. She was not afraid even when facing her brother or younger brother. She didn't run for long before she left Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin behind. At this time, she was fighting

Dong Zhenghua, you chase me.

At the same time, in front of the stable outside the racecourse, Yuan Yonghao was putting the saddle on his beloved horse. As soon as he put it down, he heard a burst of cheers. When he looked around, he saw the silhouette of the galloping horse on the racecourse.

Yuan Yonghao's eyes lit up, he quickly got on the horse and drove the horse towards the racecourse.

"Brother Dong, I'm going to take the first step!"

Maybe Xiao Keyan sat on a better horse, or maybe Dong Zhenghua wanted to get Xiao Keyan's attention. After chasing for a while, Xiao Keyan overtook Dong Zhenghua and quickly opened the distance between the two.

"Drive~"

Seeing the finish line in front of her, Xiao Keyan suddenly heard the galloping sound of horse hooves from behind. When she turned around, she saw Yuan Yonghao driving his horse quickly in front of her.

"Miss Dong, your equestrian skills are very good!"

What a meal for Xiao Keyan.

Miss Dong?

Are you calling her?

Yuan Yonghao thought about being ignored by beauties several times before. After thinking about it, he pointed to the finish line with colorful ribbons flying in front of him and said, "Do you dare to compete with me, girl, to see who of us reaches the finish line first?"

Xiao Keyan raised her chin slightly: "What is there to be afraid of? But why do I want to compete with you?"

When Yuan Yonghao saw that the beauty could not fall into his trap, he immediately laughed and said: "What, the girl is afraid of losing to me?"

Xiao Keyan immediately snorted: "Will I lose to you?" After saying that, he raised his whip and sprinted out again.

When Yuan Yonghao saw it, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he quickly chased after him.

In the subsequent chase, Yuan Yonghao controlled his horse speed to the extreme.

Xiao Keyan was lagging behind, so he slowed down his horse to give her a chance to catch up; Xiao Keyan was ahead, and quickly caught up with her, letting her go without making a sound. The whole process made Xiao Keyan truly understand it.

The tension and excitement of a chase.
