Chapter XVII: The Circle of Nobility

The racecourse on the shore of the lake in the eastern suburbs is extremely vast, with green grass and endless eyes, and on the side of the racecourse, there is a racecourse, a horse farm, and a trading field. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the racetrack, there have been several circles of people, there are men and women in each circle, almost all of them are about twenty years old, the older one is only twenty-five or sixteen, and the younger one is only thirteen or fourteen years old.

In a wooden pavilion on the side of the racecourse, there are young ladies from the first-class families of the Chu State today, who are drinking tea, tasting snacks, and talking. I only heard a young woman in a plum blossom red dress with wide sleeves and a little bit of plum blossoms, half-crookedly approached another young woman in purple clothes and white butterflies, and gossiped: "Shiyu, you have all heard of it, today's small banquet was specially organized by Brother Ziyan for Mi Huang." ”

"I really don't know what's so good about that Mi Huang, since he was a child, he didn't have the favor of the king, and his appearance was just an ordinary beauty, and he followed a group of men to fight, and it wasn't a day or two, but three years, who knows if his behavior has become more vulgar in the past three years. When Wang Shiyu heard this, his face was indifferent, and he snorted lightly, "What a beautiful name, ask for a small gathering with classmates, if it's just a small gathering, why call these two people who are unhappy." After speaking, a glance swept towards Mi Xuan, who had been sitting very cramped in the corner.

"That's it, if I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have come here because I was sick, Qingqing, you can just help me bring a message!" the other woman nodded when she heard this.

"Jinghua is right," the girls nodded when they heard this, and got up to leave, "or we all leave now, so we won't cheer her up!"

"If you all leave, what does it mean to leave me alone?" Cheng Qingqing pulled a few girlfriends who were leaving, pointed to Ruo Ao's big peng coming from afar, and said, "And you see, they are all coming this way, isn't it too late to leave now! Maybe they will be condemned by Brother Ziyan." ”

"If you come, you will be safe. There are so many of us, are we still afraid of a phoenix? Wang Shiyu said secretly.

"Yes. Zhou Jinghua then nodded and sat down.

All the women had a look of good show on their faces, sat down elegantly again, glanced at Ruoao who came from afar from afar, just glanced at it lightly, and then raised their eyebrows slightly and retracted their gaze, and continued to sit calmly, talking and laughing, as if the little episode just now no longer existed. And when they glanced at it just now, they only saw an unclean thing, which inadvertently landed on the edge of their noble shoes, and they looked down, just concerned about whether or not they had soiled their brocade shoes.

************

When they arrived on the outskirts of East Lake, there were already many young men and women walking together on the shore of the lake covered with golden leaves, and there was a large racecourse on the shore of the lake for the exclusive use of horses for the children of the nobility.

Ruo Ao Ziyan first turned over and dismounted, then walked to the side of the car, stretched out a plain hand, "Let's go, take you to meet a few acquaintances, and run around by the way." ”

When Mi Huang lifted the curtain, she still saw this slender jade hand with distinct bones, which was not like her own hands, because she had been holding the sword for a long time to kill the enemy, she had already given birth to a thin callus, and then it was this man who was always smiling and graceful, this time she tried to take the initiative to put her hand on the big hand, and slowly walked off the carriage with his trembling ups and downs.

This is the man who will hold her hand for the rest of his life, and he has just avenged his first revenge.

Mi Huang smiled and bowed his head and replied with a "good".

Ruo Ao Ziyan's big hand clasped Mi Huang's jade hand with his backhand, and his plump lips pulled out an equally bright arc, leading her to the side of the racecourse.

Si Qin, Si Jian and Qingpu walked behind the two, and Jiang Liu kept a short distance from the three of them.

Si Jian secretly gestured with his two hands, one deep and one shallow, "You see, the princess and the colt are lined with clothes today. ”

Qingpu said with a smile when he heard this, "You don't know, my son-in-law chose this set of clothes early in the morning, and he was afraid that he would be outstanding, attracting bees and butterflies, and he was afraid that he would be inferior and would be disliked by the princess, and it would be as difficult as it was." ”

Although he agrees very much, Si Qin is still a head maid, with one hand on his small waist, and the other hand on the foreheads of Si Jian and Qingpu, and said, "You two have too many words, shut up for me!"

Jiang Zeliu followed behind, looking at the three of them, and rolled his eyes expressionlessly.

When I got closer, sure enough, as Ao Ziyan said, some of the people in this large circle are old acquaintances of Mi Huang, and most of them are the accompanying sons and young ladies in her study school.

However, in this kind of noble circle, Mi Huang and Mi Zhao have always been ineligible to participate, these are Mi Zhao's social fields.

"Sister Huang, are you here?"

Seeing the woman coming slowly, as if seeing a savior, Mi Xuan walked out of the wooden pavilion with a quick broken step with her skirt and ran towards her with a smile. Dressed in a pale green floral dress, there is only one maid by her side, and she does not stand out at all in this group of nobles who are dressed in brocade clothes and servants, but looks a little ordinary, as if she is also a maid.

Mi Huang also bowed her head with a smile on her face, "Well, the imperial sister is also out of the palace today." ”

Glancing at Mi Huang, Mi Xuan chuckled lightly and cautiously pointed to Ziyan beside her, "It's not thanks to my brother-in-law, otherwise Xuan'er wouldn't have a chance to leave the palace today." This outside the palace is really beautiful, much freer than in the palace!" After speaking, she timidly glanced at the person she named, and smiled boldly, "Brother-in-law won't blame Xuan'er for being in such a hurry to call it catchy!"

Ziyan smiled and glanced back at Mi Huang, who was particularly cooperative today, and saw that she was not displeased, and replied, "I can't ask for it." ”

"Drive!"

A clear sound of riding a horse came from far and wide, and the black steed raised its black hooves like iron, and stepped on the green grassy meadow, the grass droplets splashed, and the two attendants behind him were left far behind him.

"Huang'er, you're finally here, yesterday I heard Ziyan say that you are going out of the palace today, but I have been looking forward to it for a night. ”

Uncle Sun Ao let out a long laugh, drove the horse to the front, turned over and dismounted neatly, and said to Mi Huang with a big smile. His voice was magnificent, burly and black, and he was dressed in a black dark pattern robe, which made him extremely tall and mighty, and at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, he was more stable and mature than his peers around him. This person is Mihuang's cousin, and Mihuang's tall man is ten out of ten inherited from their grandfather, Sun Hou.

"I haven't seen him for many years, but I didn't expect my cousin to be so beautiful and moving! My grandfather, who is far away at the border, must be happy to see it!"

"Cousin!" Mi Huang Man's eyes widened slightly, looked at the other party in slight surprise, and asked, "When will you return to Beijing, why don't I know?"

Hearing this, Uncle Sun Ao said with a ashamed face, "Not long after my cousin set out on the expedition three years ago, the king thanked my Sun Hou Mansion for guarding the border for the country for generations, so he recruited me back. However, my cousin had just arrived in Xuancheng, and my grandfather told me not to tell you, so as not to worry you. ”

Yes, she remembered!

The information on the booklet collected by the secretary and the others did mention a sentence, "Soon after the princess set out on the expedition, the king of Chu called the Sun Hou Mansion to leave a bloodline and sent Sun Uncle Ao to return." ”

At that time, she didn't pay attention at all, just because her current memory is still in the history of her previous life, only remembering that about two years later, her grandfather and cousin were recalled to Chudu, and the whole family was convicted of collaborating with the enemy, and the whole house was beheaded, but at that time, she was only the last to learn the news from the mouth of others, and soon after, she was betrayed to Mi Zhao by the most trusted person and died.

Mi Huang wanted to ask again, but another loud laugh came from afar.

"I said you won't be afraid, right! Brother Xiang has been waiting for you all morning, ready to be ashamed!"

I saw that the people who came laughed and stepped forward, riding a Tosa horse and said, with a rough voice, tough facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a white tiger military uniform woven with purple gold and silver threads, and a bearskin cloak on the back, but at the age of twenty-two or three, he looked broad and atmospheric, and he was informal. Seven or eight servants followed closely, and one to four people approached and turned over and dismounted in unison, and their movements were uniform and quite orderly.

This man's name is Ye Xiangru, he is the grandson of the former old Sima who has semi-retired, don't look at his name so Sven, but since he went to the study school, he is a person who doesn't like to read, and only loves to find people all over the world to compete in martial arts and horse races, but his martial arts are good or horse skills, but he has not been good. Last month, at the racecourse on the outskirts of East Lake, he just lost another 4,000 taels of silver to Ziyan, and he also lost a Tosa King horse that he had cultivated with great difficulty, and he lost a lot of face.

If there is anyone in the entire Yingdu who dares not to be afraid of Ziyan, I am afraid that such a loud voice belongs to him.

Xiaoxiao clasped Mi Huang's hand and secretly shook her palm, Ruo Ao Ziyan chuckled and asked, "Princess, someone has come to give us a wedding gift." Do you say that this horse will be accepted or not?"

Mi Huang smiled, looking at a man who had never known what a cheeky man was, Wan Yue looked back and asked with a smile, "Ye Gongzi has a lot of affection, will the horse not accept it?"

If Si Shu's "horse" lieutenant posted all the depression of Ziyan's begging for an afternoon of marriage but couldn't succeed, then Mi Huang's "horse" simply soothed all his silent waits in the past eleven years.

It's as beautiful as fairy music.

Xin's long eyelashes flew up and down, but she was only seen in her eyes.

Ruo Ao Ziyan smiled gracefully and bowed slightly, "Sure enough, the princess knows me best, and this horse is sad and shy, so I have to thank you for this gift." ”

The cold jade face of the ice squirt is even more radiant, as if the scorching autumn sun illuminates the entire sky of the Huanghuang.

Mi Huang's apricot eyes were tactful, her head drooped slightly, revealing only a thin white and graceful curve from the end of her black hair to her neck, and she scolded secretly in her heart, Ruo Ao Ziyan, you are the first cheeky in the world, so many people are looking at it!

Can you still be a little bit of the most basic nobility of the first son of the Chu State?

The smiling bright-eyed and bright-toothed Huang Huang, wearing a long skirt with white begonia petals and blue clothes dragging the ground in the green field, looks charming and moving, and the look of hanging her head is so obedient, and the man next to her complements each other, very compatible, looking at the side of the Ye Xiangru eyes are bright, touching the big head and wondering, "Is this really the eldest princess? I haven't seen it for three years, how did I find that it has become so good-looking." ”

Mi Xuan also smiled softly and nodded, "Today's eldest sister seems to have changed as a person, and she has really changed for the better with the care of her brother-in-law." ”

"It's still the royal sister who can speak," Ruo Ziyan glanced at Ye Xiangru with a slightly gloomy gaze, and pulled the phoenix towards the racecourse, "Princess, then let's go first." ”

Ye Xiangru also wanted to ask about Mi Huang's fight against Yongguo in the past three years, "Hey, I said you guys are going too fast! Hey, tell me about the things on the battlefield of Yongguo, are the people of the Western Tuyong Kingdom powerful? Are they not as powerful as our Chu State?"

"Who are you doing? I don't know which cat or dog I thought it was called, Huang'er, you said yes?" Ruo Ao Ziyan, who was walking in front, whispered angrily.

Mi Huang didn't agree, these princesses surnamed Mi who had no support, in the eyes of their big families, weren't they just teasing them like cats and dogs?

"Hey, I said, do you want to go so fast?" Ye Xiangru kept leading the horse to chase behind, and the louder the shouting behind him, the bigger the steps under the feet of the two of them were tacitly acquiescing, and the farther away they were after a while.

After the three of them went first, Uncle Sun Ao looked at Mi Xuan, who was smiling from beginning to end, and said, "Cousin Xuan, let's go too." ”

Mi Xuan bowed slightly, "Okay, Uncle Ao's cousin." ”
