Time passed and the outing season arrived. A horse racing meeting was held at the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang, and Li Zhan and Hualan were invited to attend.

Hua Lan thought about letting her younger brothers and sisters go to play, so she told Mrs. Sheng and Wang Ruofu about it. Lin Sushuang found out about it somehow, and she begged Sheng Hong and insisted on telling Mo

Lan and Sheng Changfeng came in.

Wang Ruofu lost his temper over this and kept complaining to Hua Lan. He shouldn't have exposed this matter. He should have told himself that he had just taken Ru Lan and Chang Bai quietly. Now Lin Sushuang, a little bitch, knows about it.

It’s okay to take Sheng Minglan with me, but I still have to take Sheng Molan with me to climb a high branch.

Hua Lan looked at her angry mother and could only comfort her.

"Mother, let's plan for Minglan. After all, she was raised in front of her grandmother. Officials naturally want to be close to Minglan, not like Lancha!"

When Wang Ruofu heard this, he also agreed with his face. Indeed, Mrs. Sheng was the most respected elder to Li Zhan. Minglan was raised by the old lady. For the sake of Mrs. Sheng's happiness, Li Zhan would definitely do the same.

Minglan will not be left behind.

"What you said is right, but when I think about that little bitch Lin Sushuang, I just get angry and take advantage of them!"

Hua Lan looked at her mother who was still aggrieved, and felt helpless. Since she had agreed, just let her complain.

The Earl of Yongchang is also a hero in the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has many industries and fields in Bianjing and has a profound heritage. The polo field is held at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Bianjing.

Li Zhan and his wife came here with several members of the Sheng family. What they saw were some powerful families, including the Duke of Qi, the Marquis of Ningyuan, the Duke of England, Mrs. Yu's family, and other famous families, too numerous to count.

On the polo field, Yu Yanhong, dressed in red, rode a horse and ran wildly. She swung the polo club in her hand and scored directly. Her heroic appearance was not inferior to that of a man, and she attracted bursts of cheers.

In the Song Dynasty, polo was also known as "Daqiu" or "Jiju" and "Jiwan". It was a sport in which people rode on horses and hit balls with a stick. Polo was recorded in the Han Dynasty of our country. Cao Zhi's "Ming Wan"

"Du Pian" in "Continuously riding and hitting the ground, with endless skill and skill" describes the situation of playing polo at that time. Polo was popular in the Tang, Song, Liao, and Jin Dynasties, and began to decline in the Qing Dynasty. Polo is roughly equivalent to adulthood.

The size of a human fist, polo is made of wood or leather. If the ball hits the goal, it counts as a score. It is not only an aristocratic sport for princes and generals, but also a competitive activity in the military. "Liangzhi of the Song Dynasty" records

: "Playing in the army". It can be seen that polo is popular in the army. In this dynasty, women's polo has also developed greatly, and even a palace women's polo team was established in the palace. Every holiday

From time to time, performances will be organized for people to watch.

Li Zhan said hello to Mrs. Wu of the Earl's Palace of Yongchang, and left Hua Lan to socialize among these ladies, while he came to Gu Tingye who was changing cups.

In the entire polo field, Li Zhan knew many people and said hello to them all. Some of these people were officials' children and had no friendship with him. Some of them were also colleagues, but they were all quite different in age from him. He

He didn't want to come forward either. He could only stay with Gu Tingye, whom he knew well.

Qi Heng chatted with Liang Han and did not come forward. He seemed to know that Li Zhan didn't like him very much, so besides following Sheng Minglan with his eyes, he only said hello to Li Zhan.

They exchanged pleasantries.

Ming Lan seemed to be a little bored staying in Sheng Mansion. She obviously started to have fun when she came out today. She found her best friend, Yu Yanran from Mrs. Yu's family. The two little sisters seemed to have not seen each other for many days, so they hugged each other directly.

Together, we discussed the current situation.

Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng found some familiar young masters to chat with them. Only Sheng Molan didn't know what was going on, so she actually got in front of Qi Heng and Liang Han and talked about poetry and songs with them, which made Li Zhan watch.

He frowned, but it was not good to reprimand her in public.

Li Zhan sat down next to Gu Tingye, and without being polite, he directly picked up the wine bottle, filled a glass, touched it with Gu Tingye, and drank it all in one gulp.

Sitting on the other side of Gu Tingye was a beautiful and handsome woman. Li Zhan looked at her and recognized her as Wei Xingshou, whom he had met once before.

Wei Xingshou said in surprise to Li Zhan.

"I didn't expect that after four years, I would still be able to see Mr. Li. Oh, it's not Mr. Li!"

Li Zhan nodded slightly and greeted Wei Xingshou, who looked surprised.

"Long time no see, Miss Wei!"

Li Zhan smiled, nodded, and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at the somewhat decadent Gu Tingye and asked curiously.

"What's wrong with you to be so decadent?"

Gu Tingye raised his head and swallowed the wine in the glass with a sigh on his face.

"I'm not my old man. He keeps arguing with me all day long about my affairs outside the house. He insists on bringing Sister Tuan Ge Rong back to the house to raise him, but he is unwilling to accept Mannia!"

Li Zhan picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite, then filled a glass again. He looked at the frowning Gu Tingye and tried to persuade him.

"You guys and Gu Hou still quarrel when they meet like this, can't you just keep your head down?"

Gu Tingye looked at Li Zhan with an unhappy face, raised his hand and patted Li Zhan on the shoulder, saying hatefully.

"I don't want to be like this, but every time I meet him, he hits and scolds me, and I have a tough temper, so it's hard not to quarrel!"

Li Zhan pushed away Gu Tingye's palm, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Gu Tingye again, and took a slow sip. He looked at Hualan, the youngest among the ladies, and saw that she was not uncomfortable with it, so he felt relieved.

said.

"Every parent in the world, Gu Hou is very concerned about your affairs. Some time ago, because of your failure, Gu Hou even visited me and begged me to come to the palace to intercede for you. It is considered a courtesy of the official and he will give this

The matter has been revealed!"

Gu Tingye had already learned about this matter and was preparing for the imperial examination in two years' time. He had no complaints against Gu Hou in his heart. However, the father and son did not get along with each other and would inevitably quarrel whenever they met.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Gu Tingye's eyes, he raised his wine glass, looked at Li Zhan, and said with gratitude.

"Speaking of this, I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for your help, my life would be over!"

Gu Tingye finished speaking with emotion and took a gulp. He was really grateful to Li Zhan in his heart. His eldest brother snitched on him and almost ruined him. Now, an outsider is helping to intercede and ask for grace for him. How can he not let it go?

he sighed.

"Why are you so polite to me? After all, we are considered master brothers!"

Gu Tingye laughed when he heard this, looked at Li Zhan's slender and well-proportioned body with no trace of martial arts practice, and asked curiously.
