Chapter 1131 The Storm on the Polo Ground(1/2)
As soon as Zhou Chen's carriage arrived at Jinming Pond, someone immediately ran to report to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu was greeting the ladies of the official family who came to attend the polo club, when she suddenly saw a young man running over and whispered a report.
"Madam, Lord Zhongjing Zhou is here. The frame of the carriage is outside."
Mrs. Wu's expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly apologized to the official lady in front of her, and then asked someone to notify Sheng Hualan. She quickly left to meet Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen and Yuan Cai had just arrived at the polo field when they saw Mrs. Wu leading the people away in a hurry.
"The presence of the Duke of Zhou really makes this place shine."
"Lady."
Zhou Chen had a polite look on his face. Although Mrs. Wu was good at scheming, she would not make people hate her because her scheming was done openly. Although there were benefits, she was open and honest. Naturally, she was not someone who plotted behind the scenes.
The villains can be compared.
"It was just during the next court session that I learned that Madam held a polo match here, so I thought of coming over to see the excitement. Madam, please don't blame me."
Mrs. Wu laughed cheerfully: "If you can come to the Marquis of Zhou, you will definitely make today's polo match more lively. I don't know how many people want to see the majesty of the Marquis of Zhou."
"The lady is overly praised. I just came to see the fun. The young people here are the protagonists today."
There are many types of polo clubs. The polo club hosted by Mrs. Wu today is just for the ladies at home.
While talking, Sheng Hualan walked over quickly.
"Officer, you are here."
"Lady."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "The polo match hasn't started yet. You may wish to see how good these children are later."
Although Zhou Chen is less than thirty years old, given his status, it is naturally impossible for Mrs. Wu to treat Zhou Chen as a junior. He must be a peer.
"Madam, please."
"Hou Zhou, Madam Shanda, please."
People around the polo field and those sitting in the sheds and pavilions were very surprised to see Mrs. Wu leading people in personally, and they all looked over curiously.
Mrs. Wu is the eldest lady of the Earl's Palace, and her status is extraordinary. She can go out to greet the leader in person, and naturally it will not be an ordinary person. Therefore, everyone is curious about what kind of noble person Mrs. Wu has invited.
"Hey, isn't that Madam Shanda from Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion? Didn't she come here with her family members a long time ago? Why did she come in from outside again?"
"We are walking together with Madam Shanda and are so close to each other. Could that person be the Zhongjing Hou Lord Zhou?"
"Hiss, it's really true. I have seen this Zhou Hou. With such a heroic appearance, he must be Zhou Hou without a doubt."
"Mrs. Wu is so generous. She even invited Zhou Hou. This person has always been very low-key and rarely attends such events. I didn't expect that she would come this time."
"I heard earlier that the Marquis of Zhou was an invincible general who conquered cities and territories on the frontier. I didn't expect that he would be so handsome, handsome, and suave. He is no worse than the little Duke Qi who was relegated to an immortal."
"I think this Lord Zhou is more manly."
"That's of course. Before Zhou Hou went to the border, he was also very charming and a humble gentleman. He even passed the Jieyuan exam, which means he didn't participate in the examination. Otherwise, he might not be able to win the title of Toad Palace."
"…………"
After all, Zhou Chen is a well-known figure in Tokyo. Although he rarely appears on such occasions, there are many people who know him. In addition, with Sheng Hualan beside him, it is not difficult for people to recognize his identity.
Zhou Chen's appearance caused quite a stir. Although Zhou Chen already had a family, such a man of great influence was still quite attractive in the eyes of officials and family members.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Wu, we came to the largest pavilion.
"Marquis Zhou, please."
Although Mrs. Wu is the organizer, her family is still inferior to Zhou Chen in terms of title, so the pergola she arranged is the best and most central one.
"Madam, you're welcome."
When I came to the pergola, I saw Mrs. Wang sitting inside.
"Mother-in-law."
"Master Marquis is here, come and sit down."
Originally, with the status of the Sheng family, it was absolutely impossible to sit in such a good position, but whoever gave the family a good daughter would naturally sit in the best position.
Before Zhou Chen could sit down, Mrs. Wu brought her son over.
"Hou Zhou, this is my youngest son Liu Lang, Liang Han."
Liang Han hurriedly saluted: "I have met the Marquis of Zhou."
Zhou Chen smiled at him and nodded. This Liang Han was also a supporting character in Do You Know?, but he was tricked quite badly by Mo Lan and his daughter. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was taken advantage of.
Don't look at Mo Lan and Lin Sushuang, who are more bragging than the other. They also comment on the prince's family and the prince's family. It's not good and that's not good. It's as if these noble children are free to choose. But in fact, even Liang
Han, the legitimate son of the Earl's Palace who could not inherit the title, had already made their innocence count.
"If the Marquis of Zhou needs anything, just ask the maidservant directly."
"Okay, thank you madam."
Mrs. Wu brought Liang Liulang back to her seat with a smile, and then she went to greet others.
As soon as Mrs. Wu left, Wang Ruofu said with a smile: "How come Mr. Hou has time to come to this polo ground?"
Zhou Chen replied: "I just came to see the excitement. I originally wanted to invite Chang Bai to join me, but he just entered the Hanlin Academy and was very busy, so I didn't call him."
Mrs. Wang said: "Official affairs are important, official affairs are important."
Sheng Changbai was the son she cared about most. He entered the Hanlin Academy at such a young age and had a bright future. She definitely hoped that his son would do well.
After a while, Zhou Ting, Zhou Qing and Zhou Qi came over.
"Third brother."
"Um."
Zhou Chen nodded, then looked at Zhou Ting: "You didn't go on duty today?"
Zhou Ting looked bright and whispered: "My younger brother heard that there is a polo club here today, so he came over to join in the fun. Third brother, don't worry, I took a leave of absence."
These three people were severely punished by Zhou Chen. They stayed at the training ground for three days and three nights. They were also punished after they returned, so now they are afraid when they see Zhou Chen.
But there was nothing they could do if they were afraid. Seeing Zhou Chen coming, they had no choice but to come and pay their respects.
Looking at the nervous expressions of the three of them, Zhou Chen didn't bother to talk to them.
"Go ahead and have fun."
"Thank you third brother, third brother, and sister-in-law. Then we will leave first."
As soon as Zhou Ting and others left, someone else came over.
"Brother." "Brother-in-law."
Gu Tingye greeted Zhou Chen with a smile, while Sheng Changfeng was a little reserved. In fact, if he wanted to curry favor with the powerful, Zhou Chen would be the best choice.
But unfortunately, he didn't have the courage, because every time he faced Zhou Chen, he was full of pressure. He felt that this eldest brother-in-law was much scarier than his father.
"Zhong Huai, you are here too, and Chang Feng."
Gu Tingye said: "Since my brother is here, I am still sitting here. Why don't I go hunting with my brother? Mrs. Wu also happens to be hunting at this polo match."
Zhou Chen looked at it and said: "In this place, you can't use it for hunting. If you have time in the future, I will take you to the border, which is a natural hunting ground."
"Really? Speaking of which, I have never been to the frontier in my entire life. If my brother goes to the frontier again in the future, please remember to take me with you."
Gu Tingye was very interested. As a well-known figure in Tokyo, he had no rivals in things like polo, fishing and hunting. He came here just to join in the fun and was not prepared to end up.
"Brother, today I invited Wei Xingshou from Guangyuntai and Yun Niang from Qiyun Tower. Do you want me to ask them to come and pay homage to you?"
"Cough cough, cough cough."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and also noticed that Hua Lan's expression also changed slightly.
Although she doesn't mind Zhou Chen going to that kind of place to drink and listen to music, it doesn't mean that she can accept those women appearing in front of her. It's not that she thinks highly of herself, or that she despises her, but that a clean family like them doesn't want to be with them.
They deal with each other.
Wang Ruofu next to her also showed an expression of extreme disgust. She looked down on those brothel girls the most.
"Forget it, I'm not familiar with them either. Just entertain them yourself and I'll disappear."
Gu Tingye smiled and said indifferently: "Then I won't disturb brother and go over first."
