Chapter 90: Sassy
The steward of the paddock led the way in front and invited a few people to the terunami building opposite the main building. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On weekdays, Zhaobo Building is mostly a place for women to watch horse races, with golden chrysanthemums taken from the greenhouse, hanging light cyan gauze tents, relatively clean and elegant.
The steward walked inside with him, and said respectfully to Murong Wei: "The eldest princess, the third prince and several princes, as well as Lord Zhu of the Ministry of Rites, are accompanying Jian'an and Kang Nan to watch the horse race, just on the main building opposite. ”
"Is Xia Yuzhi's Xia Commander on duty today?" Murong Wei asked casually, thinking that someone like Xia Yuzhi who likes horses will definitely not miss it today.
The steward replied respectfully with his head half-hung down: "Back to the eldest princess, today is the forbidden army on duty, and General Xiao Li is in charge of the security in the enclosure, and he has never seen Commander Xia. ”
I only heard Xia Lanxin mention the princes of the Dingping Hou Mansion and the Jiangnan Hou Mansion, and Murong Wei's eyes turned to the main building opposite, too far away, and she couldn't see anything. She looked back and asked Xia Lanxin: "Such a lively scene, the third brother is not here?"
Xia Lanxin's mind had already turned to the racecourse, and while looking at the hot boiling scene in the field, she replied absentmindedly: "The third brother went to Beijing on a business trip, and he is not in the house, and he will not be absent from tomorrow's poetry meeting." ”
Seeing that the steward was still in place, Murong Wei raised his hand and said, "You step back first, go and tell the third prince, just accompany the two princes with peace of mind, and you don't have to come over to salute." ”
The steward promised to bow back and go to the main building to reply. The respective girls were already busy laying the mattress and pillows, serving their masters to sit down, and busy placing the hand stove, phlegm box, gargle and other things, and then fetching water to wring the hand towel and clean the face, and it took a while to settle down.
A few people came at the right time, and the equestrian show had just begun, and it was a lively scene. Murong Wei took the clairvoyance that was sitting aside and handed it directly to Xia Lanxin.
Xia Lanxin held the clairvoyance and watched carefully, she chose the front position, lest she miss a small scene. Wen Wan also sat in front, she leaned on the railing, only looking at the runners in the field from a distance, listening to the enthusiastic cheers, but there was a moment of trance.
She has never seen a horse race, but she is a little familiar with this kind of scene for a long time, as if many years ago, someone held her hand, and she had seen such a boiling scene.
She subconsciously raised her right hand, a white wrist as jade, and the slender ignorant fingers were bare, as if there were traces of a ring, but the pink fingertips were now only cold temperature.
Years ago, who was it that gently held her hand and leaned on the red wall to see Beidou?
It was windy outside, and Murong Wei and the Chen sisters both chose the position in the inside, put down the outer layer of cyan tulle, and half-covered and half-hid just to watch the excitement.
Yingluo had instructed the palace people to set up a tea stove at the back, and made a hot red robe with a teapot with a blue Ru kiln entwined with floral patterns, and served it to everyone.
On the opposite side, there was a warbler and Yanyan, with fragrant clothes and temples, Murong Peng and the others in the main building had already found out, and before they could ask someone, the steward of the racecourse had already gone back and forth in person: "The eldest princess has asked a few friends to watch the horse race, and she has already changed her riding clothes, and she will probably end up." ”
Gu Chenxiao's ear power is excellent, his seat is on the left side of Murong Peng, and the steward's voice is not high, but it is all in his ears, and his heart is rippling, and he can't help but smile slightly.
Gu Chenxiao sat on a chair covered with wolf skin mattresses, supported the backrest with his elbows, seemed to be attentively holding clairvoyance to watch the performance seriously, and praised Jian'an's kung fu to Qin Hengda, in fact, the position of clairvoyance had already crossed the field in the middle of the racecourse, and looked at the Zhaobo Building with a green gauze hanging eyes on the opposite side.
No matter how good his eyesight is, he can't see clearly, only vague shadows are enough, but they can also make him feel at ease.
Murong Wei didn't know that someone was watching, and when she saw that Xia Lanxin was attentive, she didn't interrupt her, only drinking tea and gossiping with her two cousins, and only occasionally set her eyes on the arena.
Although several of them have learned to ride, they are not proficient, and they only choose a docile old horse and run a few laps in the horse farm slowly. is far inferior to Xia Lanxin, her riding skills come from the training of the old lady, and she has already been superb, and she can compete with the athletes in the field.
After sitting for about half an hour, the equestrian in the field was coming to an end, and there were already people outside the field eager to try, thinking about running horses in the past, Xia Lanxin couldn't wait, and entered the inner room first and was served by Xiaoluo to change her riding clothes.
It is still the fiery red in Murong Wei's memory, with red clothes and red boots, black hair pulled up high, wrapped in a red scarf made of red feather satin.
At that moment, the gentle woman who had just lowered her eyebrows changed into a sassy and heroic posture, and the heroic aura revealed between her eyes hit her face, which made Murong Wei think of the heroism of her previous life alone. The sad mood hit my heart for a while, and I almost couldn't hold back my tears.
The little maid who came to the Xia Mansion knew the county lord's preferences, and he had already prepared horses. Xia Lanxin was like a brilliant red cloud, walking down the stairs and flying on the horse. With a slight grip on his knees, the horse neighed and galloped forward like a meteor chasing the moon.
The two young ladies in Chen's mansion were not familiar with Xia Lanxin, and they only thought she looked good when they saw her in red, but now they were startled when they saw her riding a horse and whipping. Chen Zhihua was older, for fear that something would go wrong, so he asked Murong Wei with his eyebrows: "Lord Xiying, do you want to find someone to follow?"
"No", Murong Wei waved her hand to signal that she was relieved, pointing to the people who had just withdrawn from the racecourse and smiled, "The racecourse is so big, where can she run." Cousin, rest assured, Sister Lan's riding skills are not under them."
Chen Zhihua has always known the prestige of the old lady of the Xia family, and he doesn't want Xia Lanxin, a twenty-eight beauty who looks weak and slender on weekdays, to have such a demeanor, so he just admires in his heart. Chen Yinghua's eyes had already followed Xia Lanxin's distant back, revealing an extremely envious look.
Downstairs, Mama Luo arranged a safe person, and also chose horses for several masters.
The Chen sisters were timid, so they were only led by the attendants and strolled around the racecourse, with a little regret. Chen Yinghua looked at the direction of Xia Lanxin's departure from afar, and secretly ruthless, she must practice her riding skills hard, and she must be such a sassy daughter.
Wen Wan was a little reasonable, and chose a white horse, and no one wanted to follow her, but only slowly urged and drove to the side of the grass.
Murong Wei's mount was a jujube pony with a pair of big docile eyes, and when she saw her on the horse, she turned her head softly and affectionately stuck out her tongue to lick her little hands.
Murong Wei gently patted the horse's head, greeted the pony, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, she turned over on the horse's back as soon as she raised her body.
It's funny to say that because of Su Duhan's disappearance, she secretly came to the paddock for many days to practice riding horses, and how many times she memorized those maps, she never dispelled the idea of riding alone to the border city to find him.
Tassel knew her plan and changed her ways to cover for her, she only thought that Tassel was sincerely thinking about herself and Su Duhan, and regarded her as her confidant. Then, it was Yingluo who discovered her mistake, and she couldn't persuade her, so she desperately stabbed the matter in front of Queen Chu.
After that, there was nothing more to speak of. (To be continued.) )
