Chapter 1131 The Storm on the Polo Ground(2/2)
Sheng Changfeng also said quickly: "Mother, eldest brother-in-law, eldest sister, I will go sit with the second brother Gu."
As soon as they left, Wang Ruofu said in disgust: "This Gu Erlang is really just like the rumors. He is a playboy who spends a lot of time and alcohol. On such an occasion, he even brought a prostitute here. He really has no reputation at all."
, Lord Marquis, you must not be led astray by him."
Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged and he didn't say anything, while Hua Lan sat down with Mrs. Wang, and the two of them kept scanning their eyes.
The purpose of their visit this time was to see the powerful children in the household. Their Sheng family still had three orchids in the pavilion, and the two men were also unmarried, so they were naturally very interested.
Zhou Chen looked at the venue in front of him. The place was really big and there were many people. There were also many children running and playing. It was a good place for entertainment.
Gu Tingye and Sheng Changfeng returned to their seats. Gu Tingye smiled and said to Wei Xingshou: "Today's occasion is not right, so I won't take you to see brother Zhou Zhou."
The leader of Wei Dynasty saluted and said: "It should be so. I feel lucky to be able to see the Marquis of Zhou."
Sheng Changfeng asked curiously: "Wei Xingshou has met my eldest brother-in-law before?"
"How can such a heroic figure as the Marquis of Zhou be seen by slaves like us?" Wei Xingshou did not tell the truth.
Gu Tingye picked up the wine glass: "Okay, stop talking, drink and watch polo."
Soon, under the auspices of Mrs. Wu, the first polo match began.
For this polo match, Mrs. Wu took out a lot of precious jewelry. Although it was nothing to these noble officials and family members, it was better than nothing, and it could also be used for fun and entertainment. Naturally, there was no shortage of people to play.
During this process, the female maids kept bringing food and drinks over. Because the location of the polo field is very good and there are things blocking it around, there is not much wind, so it is very suitable for sitting and watching the game.
Hua Lan has participated in this kind of occasion many times, but it was the first time for Mrs. Wang to attend a polo meeting with so many people. She was quite curious and looked around.
As for the three Lans, they left long ago and found playmates to play with.
"Official, that one is the head of Jiacheng County from the Yong Wang family. I didn't expect that she would also come. There is also Concubine Rong's sister Rong Feiyan. They are all very famous nobles in Tokyo."
Hua Lan pointed to the more famous official family members and introduced them to Zhou Chen. It was obviously not the first time he had met these people.
When Zhou Chen heard about County Lord Jiacheng and Rong Feiyan, he looked at them curiously. They were both celebrities, and later they competed for Qi Heng's beauty.
But in the end, it was the Yong Wang family that was more ruthless. In order to get the head of Jiacheng County to marry Qi Heng, they directly used very spicy methods and had Rong Feiyan captured. They humiliated her for several days and then dumped her in a busy city. Finally, Rong Feiyan
Yan could only hang herself with Bai Ling to preserve the family honor and her remaining reputation.
Although Rong Feiyan is not a good person, King Yong's dirty tricks are really disgusting.
Zhou Chen never thought that he was a good person. Countless people died at his hands, and he often used conspiracies and tricks. He also killed many women, but he also had a bottom line.
He has always abhorred such things as robbing women from good families and humiliating people's innocence. People who humiliate people's innocence should be executed in an untimely manner and sent to the eighteenth level of hell just like human traffickers.
It was precisely because of Rong Feiyan's incident that she forced Concubine Rong to go crazy and join forces with King Yan to rebel, and even almost succeeded.
Because of Concubine Rong's revenge, Prince Yong's family also did not end well. They were wiped out and suffered horrific abuse before their death.
It can be said that it is retaliation for retaliation, treating others in their own way.
If you calculate it this way, Qi Heng can be regarded as Lan Yan's disaster. Although he did not do all this, it was indeed caused by him.
A polo match lasts for one stick of incense and a half-time break, which is somewhat similar to the rules of football, but the time is much shorter.
The jewelry Mrs. Wu brought out was pretty good, and the winner happily accepted it.
Polo has been invented since the Han Dynasty. The rules of the polo game are two teams. Each team can have two, four, eight, or even a dozen people.
However, today's polo match is slightly different from the regular ones. In order to have more competition and to match men and women, it is divided into four teams, each team has two people. When the time is up, whichever team scores the most points wins.
Four teams will naturally be more competitive, and with the combination of men and women, it is definitely not possible to rely on just one person.
Mrs. Wu came over and asked with a smile: "Marquis Zhou, Mrs. Shanda, are you interested in the end?"
Sheng Hualan said with a smile: "I came here with my brothers and sisters today, so I won't leave."
Zhou Chen also shook his head and said: "I see that everyone is having a good time, so I won't join in the fun."
Naturally, Madam Wu would not force it, but just said: "Okay, then Zhou Hou and Madam Shanda are free to do whatever they want. If you have any needs, you can come to me directly."
"Thank you very much, madam."
Wang Ruofu waited for Mrs. Wu to leave and said in a low voice: "This Mrs. Wu is really capable. No wonder there is a rumor in Bianjing City that the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion cannot do without her."
Hua Lan whispered to her mother: "Mrs. Wu is indeed unique. I have looked through the entire Bianjing city and can't find anyone else."
"Mom, is there anyone you like?"
Wang Ruofu shook his head and said: "Your father won't let me take care of Changbai's marriage. I don't want to take care of Chang Feng and Mo Lan. Let their bitch take care of it. Minglan also has your grandmother to worry about, but Ru Lan is the only one to worry about."
This girl, but you also know your sister, ugh."
Hua Lan suddenly felt funny and said, "Mom, although Rulan has a bit of a temper, she is a good child. I will also help and pay attention to her."
"If I can settle her marriage, I'll be relieved." Wang Ruofu sighed repeatedly.
Zhou Chen suddenly saw Sheng Minglan on the edge of the polo field. She was standing with Yu Yanran. He held his chin and guessed that this was most likely the scene in the plot where Minglan was stunning at the polo field.
He has also seen this girl Yu Yanran. To be honest, she is a very simple and kind-hearted girl. She is weak-tempered and can't handle things, but she is very kind to others and does things well. Even when facing a lowly woman, she will not
It is rare in this era to look down upon someone with contempt.
There was still a fierce fight on the polo field, and Hua Lan pointed at the woman in red.
"Official, that is the granddaughter of Mrs. Yu's family and the younger sister of Yu Yanran. Unlike Yanran's tranquility, she has a very arrogant and flamboyant character. The one who works with her is the second son of the Yu family."
"The other teams, they are..."
Soon, the polo match came to an end, and the Yu family brothers and sisters finally won, and received Madam Wu's white jade Hunyuan bracelet.
"A new start, this lucky draw, a golden hairpin made of nine layers of silk."
Zhou Chen, who heard the sound, looked over with interest. He remembered that this golden hairpin was a relic of Yu Yanran's mother. It was secretly sold by her father and stepmother. Then she wanted to win the polo match and get it back.
This gold hairpin.
But her half-sister Yu San also took a fancy to the gold hairpin and insisted on competing with her, forcing Minglan to stand up for her sister and become famous on the polo field.
There was indeed no change in the development of the matter. Yu Yanran, who was anxious, desperately went on stage. Since there was no partner, Minglan had to drag Sheng Changfeng to form a team with Yu Yanran.
It's a pity that Sheng Changfeng and Yu Yanran's polo skills are not very good. They are no match for the Yu brothers and sisters, and they are completely reduced to background.
"The sisters from the Yu family are quite interesting. They are fighting with their own family."
Wang Ruofu was not very interested in polo, but he found it interesting when he saw the Yu sisters quarreling.
Zhou Chen did not look at the venue, but turned to look at where Minglan was. Sure enough, he saw Qi Heng walking over and talking to Minglan through the curtain.
"What do the officials see?"
Hua Lan followed Zhou Chen's gaze and looked over, and immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise.
"Young Master Qi and Sixth Sister are talking?"
Zhou Chen was quite speechless: "Madam, you often go back to Sheng Mansion. Didn't you find out what happened between Qi Heng and Sixth Sister?"
Hua Lan belatedly exclaimed: "Could it be that Young Master Qi and Minglan, the two of them?"
"Keep your voice down. Just know it yourself and don't spread it out." Zhou Chen stopped Hua Lan's exclamation.
