Chapter 763 Horse Racing Competition
"Yiyi, it turns out it's you!"
Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong smiled and came to Daohua and the others.
Daohua stood up and introduced Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu to the two of them. Because Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were there, the two of them couldn't stay long, so they exchanged a few words and left.
Before leaving, Kang Naixin took Daohua and whispered: "I just saw your maid went to the manger, she did a beautiful job!"
Looking at Kang Naixin blinking at her, Daohua smiled and said nothing.
The little episode about Princess Xiliao did not affect everyone's interest. After dinner, everyone started boating on the river again, and did not go back home until mid-afternoon.
Not long after returning home, Xiao Yeyang came over.
"Did you have fun today?"
Daohua took Xiao Yeyang to the pavilion in the garden. When she heard his inquiry, she curled her lips: "The scenery is pretty good, but the people are a bit annoying."
Xiao Yeyang smiled silently and moved closer to Daohua: "Looking at Wen Tao and the others in pairs, do you miss me?"
Daohua glanced at him: "Stop being so sentimental, I have so much fun having fun by myself."
Xiao Yeyang took the round fan in Daohua's hand, and while fanning her, he explained: "I was originally going to go today, but I suddenly received an order from the emperor's uncle and went to the royal paddock, so I was delayed.
”
Daohua took the iced watermelon brought by Wang Man'er, inserted a piece of it with a bamboo skewer and handed it to Xiao Yeyang's mouth. After he ate it, she inserted a piece for herself: "What are you doing in the paddock?"
Xiao Yeyang: "The people of Xiliao have brought a group of good horses for this visit. In a few days, there will be a horse racing competition in the royal paddock on the outskirts of Beijing." He said, smiling, "At that time, I will
Let me have a good horse race in the paddock with you."
Daohua shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to ride a horse on such a hot day."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "There is a forest over there in the paddock. It won't be too hot to ride horses in the woods."
Daohua still had no interest, but asked: "Can we go to watch the horse racing?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Of course, officials and their families can visit."
Daohua: "I heard that the Xiliao people are very good at equestrian skills. Can we win if we compete with them?"
Xiao Yeyang: "The people of Xiliao are indeed good at riding and shooting, but I, the men of Daxia, are no less generous."
Daohua looked at him: "You won't play, right?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled: "You don't want me to play?"
Daohua was silent: "The emperor does not agree to the marriage, and the people of Xiliao cannot marry a princess, so will they think of other ways, for example, marrying a princess to Daxia, which is also a good way to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties."
Xiao Yeyang suddenly laughed out loud: "Are you afraid that I will be favored by the Princess of Xiliao?" He said, smiling and shaking his head, "That princess doesn't like me. Who did she like?
A prince."
Daohua suddenly became energetic: "How do you know?"
Xiao Yeyang sneered: "These days, as long as there is a chance, the Princess of Xiliao will have a chance encounter with a few princes. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what she has planned."
Daohua clicked her tongue twice, and then asked enthusiastically: "Will the emperor agree?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled lightly and said: "Marrying a princess is different from marrying a princess. Since they want to give it away, how can we refuse? I just don't know which prince will be blessed with such a good thing?"
Daohua: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, grabbed her hand, ate the watermelon in her hand, and smiled without saying anything.
"By the way, we also met the Princess of Xiliao when we went out today, and we had a little conflict with her." Daohua told Xiao Yeyang what happened today.
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang sneered: "The people of Xiliao want to steal the glass technology, and they really dare to think so. Then Princess Xiliao will fight her, there is nothing to worry about."
After hearing what he said, Daohua stopped thinking about it.
......
On July 15th, Daxia and Xiliao held a horse racing competition at the royal paddock on the outskirts of Beijing. Early in the morning, Beijing officials and their families went to the paddock in carriages one after another.
"Xingran!"
As soon as Daohua entered the enclosure with Mrs. Li and others, she saw the Han family.
Han Xinran looked at her eldest sister and her mother standing together affectionately, her eyes flickered, and she lowered her eyes to help her mother-in-law walk towards her parents' family.
Mrs. Li smiled and greeted Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han immediately introduced her eldest daughter to the Yan family with a smile: "Mom, this is my eldest daughter. She is married to the eldest son of the Yongqing uncle's house. She is usually very busy taking care of the middle child.
I had time to visit. Xinman, I haven’t met your Aunt Yan soon.”
Han Xinman immediately greeted Mrs. Li with a smile, and then looked at Daohua with a smile: "Is this the Lord of Shengping County? It's better to be famous than to meet. It's true that people are more beautiful than flowers."
Daohua did not respond, but looked at Han Xinran, as if waiting for her introduction.
Han Xinran suddenly smiled and said to Han Xinman with a smile: "Eldest sister, this is my eldest sister." After saying that, she pulled Yan Yihuan and the other three, "This is the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister."<
/p>
Daohua then greeted: "Mrs. Fang."
Yan Yihuan and the others saluted: "Mrs. Fang."
When Han Xinman saw that the four Daohua sisters were calling her after her husband's family instead of the Han family, the smile on her face faltered. Sure enough, as her mother said, the second sister's husband's family was indeed a bit awkward in social interactions.
Lack.
Call her Sister Han, wouldn't this relationship become more intimate?
Han Xinman pulled Han Xinran and asked with a smile: "Second sister, where will you watch the game later?"
Han Xinran looked at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li looked at the stands that had been set up and saw that there were not many seats in the stands. She thought there would be no seats for them, so she smiled and said: "We will watch wherever everyone is watching."
Hearing this, the smile on Han Xinman's face deepened, and she immediately invited Mrs. Li with a smile: "Aunt, my husband's family still has some respect for the emperor. This time, we specially rewarded the seat to watch the game. You can watch it later.
Come squeeze with us."
"Watching the game in the stands, firstly, you can avoid being exposed to the sun, and secondly, by sitting high, you can see more clearly."
Before Mrs. Li could respond, Mrs. Han immediately took over the words: "My mother-in-law, please don't be polite. We are all relatives. Today, we will benefit from Xinman's glory."
Looking at Mrs. Han who looked proud, Daohua quickly glanced at her sister-in-law, and then said quickly: "Thank you, Mrs. Fang, for your kind words, but no, our place will be arranged by someone."
Mrs. Han smiled. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Defu trotting over: "County Master, the master asked me to lead you over and take a seat."
Daohua smiled at Mrs. Han, and Han Xinman nodded, supported Mrs. Li, and motioned for Han Xinran to follow.
Han Xinran smiled and said to Mrs. Han and Han Xinman: "Mother, eldest sister, I will go over first."
Seeing that the Yan family was sitting very close to the main seat, Mrs. Han and Han Xinman both looked a little unhappy.
Han Xinman snorted: "Why is the second sister like this? The Yan family had a place to sit, but they didn't tell me in advance, which made me work in vain. I even went to ask my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Han quickly comforted her: "Your second sister has never been as considerate as you in doing things. You, please don't be as knowledgeable as her."
