Chapter 199 Riding Costume
"Hey, why doesn't the boat leave?"
Seeing that the ship suddenly stopped and stopped moving, Daohua immediately stood up and stretched her neck to look outside, and then saw some commotion at the port.
At this time, Qin Wu came over.
Qin Wu has good skills and is steady and careful. Now, whenever Yan Zhigao goes out, he will take him with him.
"Girl, I want you to go back to the cabin. Someone seems to have fallen into the water in front of you. The ship has blocked the port. We may have to wait a while before we can get ashore."
Daohua nodded. There were many people going out for fun during the Double Ninth Festival, and all kinds of boats were crowded together, so accidents were indeed easy to happen.
After glancing around their boat, there were boats approaching one after another, and Daohua pulled Zhou Jingwan into the cabin.
The two entered the cabin, saluted Yan Zhigao and others, then walked straight to the window, lying on the window edge and looking out.
"Hey, Daohua, look, are those your brother and my brother? What are they doing? Are they rescuing people?" Zhou Jingwan suddenly pointed in the direction of the port and said.
Daohua quickly looked over and saw Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye in the crowd.
There is no way, in the chaotic and noisy dock, Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye, who calmly direct the boats to dock, really stand out from the crowd.
In addition, both of them are good-looking, personable and gentle, making it easy for them to stand out in a group of people.
"It's them, they should be helping to maintain order!"
On the other side, Yan Zhigao and Mr. Zhou also noticed Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye on the pier.
Seeing the two men calmly directing the boatmen to dock and evacuate, both fathers looked satisfied.
"Nephew Wenxiu is becoming more and more capable, and he has the demeanor of Yan's younger brother." Mr. Zhou was the first to praise Yan Wenxiu.
Although Yan Zhigao was proud of his eldest son's excellence, he was still reserved and modest and said: "Compared to Chengye's stability, my family's literary studies still have a lot to learn from him."
Indeed, due to the different growth environment, Zhou Chengye has been used to seeing big scenes since he was a child, and in some aspects he is more thoughtful and steady than Yan Wenxiu.
After that, the two old fathers praised each other's children, and the other people invited also echoed one or two words from time to time.
The dock quickly returned to normal, and it didn't take long before Daohua and his party were able to go ashore.
"Which family is that young master?"
"Without their help, we don't know how long we would have been stuck here?"
"With his appearance and manners, he must be from a noble family, right?"
When Daohua and Zhou Jingwan got off the boat, they happened to hear voices on the opposite boat.
The two looked at each other, then turned their heads and looked over, and saw several girls in their fifteenth or sixteenth year old wearing curtain hats looking towards them on the boat next door.
"Tell me, do they like your brother or my brother?" Zhou Jingwan asked in a low voice, covering her mouth.
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Maybe they both like it."
Zhou Jingwan immediately chuckled, and then sighed like an adult: "Hey, my brother has reached the age to say goodbye." After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Chengye who was greeting everyone, and whispered, "I'll tell you.
He said, my mother has secretly started to help my brother find a wife."
Daohua suddenly said: "No wonder your family is always holding banquets and so on recently. Originally, you were eyeing other people's girls?"
Zhou Jingwan was unhappy: "How can you say targeting? This is called mutual selection." As she said that, she touched the rice flowers and said, "I remember that Brother Yan is only one year younger than my brother. Did your mother help him find a candidate?"
?"
Daohua thought for a while: "My mother mentioned it a few times before, but then she stopped talking. She probably wanted my brother to read quietly first."
It is said that Cheap Dad received a commendation from the emperor for his work on grain cultivation, and judging from the increasing number of contacts with their family over the past year, Cheap Dad should be able to mention it to others after his term ends.
Her mother is not working for her eldest brother now, probably because she wants to wait for her cheap dad to get promoted before looking for him.
After all, this way, the selection range will be wider and the people will be better.
Here, Yan Wenxiu, Zhou Chengye and Yan Zhigao finished their greetings and then walked towards Daohua.
"Keep an eye on your sisters and don't let anything happen to them. Otherwise, I will take you for granted." Mr. Zhou ordered.
Zhou Chengye immediately smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not let the two sisters lose a hair."
Yan Wenxiu also said: "Father and uncle, please be at ease. There are a few new young horses at the racecourse. They are very docile, and there are boys watching from the side. They will be fine."
At this time, Yan Zhigao and Mr. Zhou nodded, indicating that they could leave.
......
"Hey, aren't you going to the racecourse? Why are you here at the palace?"
Seeing Yan Wenxiu leading them into the palace, Daohua asked in confusion.
Yan Wenxiu took a look at how his younger sister and the girl from the Zhou family were dressing up today, and was a little funny: "The racecourse is not far from the palace, and I brought you to the palace so that you can change your clothes."
Daohua looked at her clothes. They were very neat and convenient: "You need to change into special clothes when you are riding a horse?"
Zhou Chengye smiled: "Eunuch Defu specially prepared it, so it's hard to offend his kindness. Miss Dong, who came earlier, has already changed into it, and it looks very good."
Daohua was stunned: "Miss Dong? Is she Brother Dong's sister, Dong Yuanyao?"
Zhou Chengye nodded, thinking about the meeting scene between the two girls on the Lantern Festival night this year, he wanted to laugh: "Yes, that's her."
Zhou Jingwan pulled Daohua: "Do you know Sister Dong?"
Daohua nodded calmly: "I met her once." She lowered her head and whispered, "That time she disguised herself as a man and wanted to tease me."
Zhou Jingwan's eyes widened, and then she smiled and said: "Sister Dong is also a playful person, are you not at a disadvantage?"
Daohua raised her head: "Who am I? How could I be at a disadvantage? I teased her back and made her face red and speechless."
Zhou Jingwan looked at the proud Daohua with a speechless face, shook her head and said: "I thought I was noisy enough, but in front of you two, I am convinced."
Soon, the four of them arrived in front of a palace.
"The racecourse is behind the palace. You go in and change your clothes first. Someone will take you there later." Yan Wenxiu looked at Daohua and said.
Daohua glanced at the palace. There were already maids waiting inside, and murmured: "Isn't it too formal? It's just a horse ride."
Zhou Jingwan said directly: "You are such a makeshift person. Of course you have to wear a riding outfit when riding a horse. I am in a hurry this time, otherwise I would have to ask my embroiderer to make one for me."
."
"Someone has prepared it for us now, why don't you wear it? Haven't you heard that Sister Dong is also wearing it? Come on, go and change it, we two can't lose to her." With that, he took Daohua and left.
Go in.
Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye smiled and shook their heads, then turned and walked towards the racecourse behind the palace.
"From Sister Jingwan's tone, it sounds like she is very familiar with Miss Dong?"
"I have met several times. Miss Dong is just like sister Yan. She has a cheerful personality and can play well with my Jingwan."
.......
"Wow, what a beautiful dress!"
Entering the room, Zhou Jingwan immediately pounced on several riding outfits laid out.
Daohua's eyes also lit up, and she looked directly at a robin blue riding outfit: "The style of this dress seems to be from the northern grassland, right?"
The maid standing aside smiled and replied: "Miss Yan has good eyesight. The nomadic people in the northern grassland are especially good at riding horses. Therefore, most of the riding attire is made in imitation of their styles, which is convenient and beautiful."

Daohua touched the clothes in her hands and said with a smile: "It is indeed beautiful."
Zhou Jingwan touched this set of clothes and that set, looking a little hesitant: "Daohua, please help me see, which one looks better on me?"
Daohua looked at it and pointed at a pink riding outfit: "This is it."
"Sure enough, heroes have similar opinions. I also think the pink suit looks better." After saying that, he picked up the clothes and compared them with each other. While comparing, he asked, "What about you, which suit are you wearing?"
p>
Daohua raised the clothes in her hand: "I like this robin blue suit."
Zhou Jingwan looked up and nodded quickly: "Yeah, this suit suits you very well. Your usual clothes are mostly green and blue. My mother said that you look particularly good in it."
