Chapter Seventy-Five: Horse Racing, Archery, and Piano

Princess Gesang's interracial dress was particularly eye-catching, and Shen Zhuru and Qiao Yuelong saluted together.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." The two of them blessed their bodies.

"No need to be polite. The two younger sisters are really good-looking, and after seeing you, I am more and more sure that the women of Yurui Kingdom are worthy of the four words gentle as water. ”

"The princess praised it." The two responded in unison, a rare tacit understanding.

"We are so fateful, two different routes come over, and we can meet at the door. You must be attending the cherry blossom viewing festival. Don't know what to call it? By the way, my name is Gesang, what about you? ”

"Qiao Yuelong."

"Shen Zhuru."

"Yuelong, Zhuru, what a nice name." Princess Gesang praised from the bottom of her heart, and the two could only smile, still having a good impression of this kind little princess.

After all, if you meet a princess who is unruly and self-conscious, it will definitely be a headache.

After seeing Princess Gesang herself, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Yuelong, your surname is Qiao, you are the young lady of the Qiao family."

"Returning to the princess, yes. My mother is the wife of the Qiao family's big house, and if the princess went to the front hall, she should have seen my mother. ”

"It turns out that the lady with a good temperament is your mother, but if you look seriously, you are really a little similar. What about you, Zhuru? Whose lady are you? ”

"The princess misunderstood, Sister Ru is the young lady of the Mu family, and she is already married to a wife."

"Ah, you're married. Seeing that you are not too old, I didn't expect to get married so early. You'll be fifteen years old at most. So much smaller than me. ”

"On the side of Yurui Kingdom, a fifteen-year-old woman is already considered an adult, and she can get married, which is normal." Shen Zhuru replied.

Fifteen years old.

In my previous life, I was still in school at the age of fifteen, and now I am a wife, so I really don't know how to say it.

With the arrival of Princess Gesang, the eyes of men and women in the hundred gardens gathered here, and the women came over one after another to salute and greet Princess Gesang.

are all getting to know this princess who has returned from a foreign country in their own way.

"In Xia Qiao Zexuan, the princess is polite." The third young master of Qiao's family came to salute, accompanied by Li Hongzhong, the fourth young man of the Li family, Bai Heng, the son of the county commander, and Liu Anxing, the son of the Liu general's family.

Qiao, Li, Bai, and Liu's young ladies also gathered in hula, enthusiastic and not abrupt to meet Princess Gesang, but these people couldn't help but glance at Qiao Yuelong and Shen Zhuru, after all, the position where the two of them stood was really delicate, and they felt very familiar with this little princess.

However, everyone thinks that just a chance encounter does not mean that Princess Gesang will treat the two differently.

It's a pity that these ladies are wrong.

Princess Gesang felt very good about Shen Zhuru and the others, and she had already regarded the two as friends, otherwise she would not have let the two be so close to her, at least the warriors guarding beside her would block them, rather than let them get so close.

After some greetings, there were a lot of people, and everyone didn't ask too many questions, which caused unpleasantness.

"I heard that there is going to be a competition, and I mentioned it to the prefectural ordinance here yesterday, and I will also participate. Shall we come and play now? After Princess Gesang finished greeting, she asked.

"It's our honor for the princess to participate, as for the content of the competition, we have already discussed, mainly divided into horse racing, archery, and playing the piano, I don't know what the princess has to say?" Bai Heng, as the son of the county commander, has already obeyed his father's orders and is responsible for these matters, as for the expenses, he will be reimbursed by his own government, but he will not mess around, and he has spent money to deal with it properly, and he just wants to leave a good impression in front of this Princess Gesang, which will help him in his future career.

"Do you also have horse racing and archery? I thought it was all what you said about competitions such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and I was worried that I couldn't compare to you. Now I'm really relieved. This horse racing and archery is my forte, don't say I'm bullying you. Princess Gesang said with a smile, the confidence between her eyebrows was still very strong.

Princess Gesang's heartiness won everyone's favor, and she was busy saying the slogan of competition second and friendship first.

However, since it is a flower viewing festival, it will be a waste if you don't enjoy this flower well.

Qiao's courtyard is full of flowers, and it is dizzying to watch.

Picking a hypericum flower pinned to the bun in the ear, Princess Gesang's actions attracted many young ladies to follow suit, Shen Zhuru would not follow the trend, but she couldn't bear Princess Gesang to do it herself, and pinned a flower on her hair for her and Qiao Yuelong, an obvious difference in treatment.

Enough of the flowers, the venue for the horse race has been prepared, and the next person has already come over to say hello.

The venue of this competition is directly on the road from Qiao's Villa to Mu's Villa, and the one who comes back first is considered a victory.

In order to facilitate the race, this part of the road had to be driven out of the toiling tenants who rushed to the road and were injured by the galloping horses.

Naturally, everyone's horse is ready for themselves.

Because they are all activities of a group of young people, the elders of each family just sit on the balcony at the gate and watch the excitement.

This time, there will be no men's and women's competitions.

In other words, this Princess Gesang is challenging the boys.

For the courage of this princess, those young ladies also admired, but for them to win or not, as for those young masters, they often ride horses on weekdays, which is much stronger than the young ladies who are cramming temporarily.

At least just one got on the horse, the ladies tossed for a while, and as for the competition, just looking at it made people can't help but pinch a cold sweat, in case the horse just ran a few steps, the person fell down, fell and was injured.

Several ladies who tried but couldn't do it automatically chose to give up.

Anyway, you can't win, and instead of risking yourself by falling off your horse and injuring yourself, it's better to keep your head down, which is a wise move.

I changed into a short pair of trousers for riding a horse and got on the horse, and this time the competition was a knockout system.

There are no five people, the first person to enter the next round of the competition, after the men's side of the competition, it is the turn of the women's side, each time only the first person is selected to enter the next round of the competition, so that a maximum of three rounds can enter the finals and compete for the first place in the mixed competition.

Princess Gesang is worthy of being a woman who grew up in the grassland since she was a child, and her equestrian skills are first-class, which is not at all comparable to the ladies in this small place in Qiyang County.

As soon as the person who gave the order shouted, she was already like a bow and arrow off the string, never looking back, far ahead.

Before those ladies saw the gate of the Mu family's courtyard, they had already turned around and ran back directly in the square.

I don't know if it's luck, or if it's already arranged, in the team that has been drawn and auctioned, Shen Zhuru is lucky enough that it will take at least the third round to meet Princess Gesang, even if it is Qiao Yuelong, of course, the premise is that victory is possible.

It's not the first time to ride a horse, Shen Zhuru's performance is not bad, at least there is no fear of those new scholars, he can't let go of his hands and feet, at least he runs normally, and easily wins the first round.

"Zhuru, I see that you are at ease, and you will persist until the third round, and I will compete with you to your heart's content." Princess Gesang rode over on a horse, side by side with Shen Zhuru, and said such words with a hearty smile.

"Princess, how can I compare with you, I'm not very good at this, I'm surprised to be able to pass the first round. The main thing is that this is not the capital, and there are not many ladies who can ride horses. See those who give up? This is all something that has never been contacted, and after cramming for a while, it still doesn't work, and I consciously give up. If you really want to find a matching opponent, I think you can only do so after you go to the capital. ”

"Oh, are you familiar with the capital? Listening to you say this, it seems as if you have seen it for a long time. ”

A picture suddenly flashed in Shen Zhuru's mind, it was really what happened in a small horse farm.

The little girl who sat on horseback and was doted on by a heroic man and rode a horse galloping, this should belong to Shen Zhuru's beautiful memories when she was a child.

It is a scenery in the capital, and in that scene, she is not the only woman, there are also many big sisters who are riding horses and galloping, laughing wantonly.

"I lived there when I was a kid, and I almost forgot about it."

"I see." Princess Gesang didn't get to the bottom of it, because she saw a trace of nostalgia and gloom in Shen Zhuru's silent eyes, and knew that the capital was not necessarily a good place for her now.

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit, I actually lost." Qiao Yuelong rode back a little unwillingly, sweating profusely, and her entire back was soaked.

"It's just a bit of luck, it's good to win it back later." Princess Gesang comforted.

On the side of a group of ladies, at this moment, their eyes looked at the three Shen Zhuru who were gathered together, and they all had tastes, but the wives of the Li family, the Bai family, and the Liu family all congratulated Mrs. Qiao and Mu Liu Xinyue, and there was undisguised envy in their eyes.

"Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Qiao, you are really blessed. One is a daughter-in-law and the other is a daughter, both of whom are close to the princess, and as soon as the princess is happy, she directly let the two accompany them to Beijing. If the luck is better, I can't say that I can still see those nobles in the palace and know a few more big people, at that time, the good days of the Mu Qiao family are coming. At that time, don't forget that we are waiting. ”

"Mrs. Li, the princess's nature is like a child, maybe she just feels good today, but as for a matter of entering Beijing, it is still too early to say. Who doesn't know that this Princess Gesang has traveled all the way, although not every county town will stay that long, but I don't see that she really brought anyone into Beijing together. It's better not to talk nonsense. ”

"Even if it's impossible, at least it's good to have this friendship. It's a pity that our juniors can't get into the eyes of the princess after all, and it's difficult to get a little eye. ”

"Yes, yes."

Mrs. Qiao coughed lightly and said, "Don't make up your mind so quickly, there is a competition between archery and playing the piano later, who can guarantee that there will be no unexpected daughter's family or boy who has fallen into the eyes of the princess?" Yuelong and Zhuru only happened to meet the princess at the gate of Baihuayuan, and the difference in value and age was not too big, so they got the opportunity to get closer to the princess. Don't tell me, your daughter can't play the piano like this horse archery. ”

Many ladies laughed, but they were really in a hurry, and they ate quickly.

Mu Liu Xinyue just had a faint smile on her face, and she couldn't talk about happiness or displeasure, but at least looking at Shen Zhuru's eyes, she had softened a little, or it should be said that it was a little pleasing to the eye.

If Shen Zhuru can really become friends with Princess Gesang, even if it is just a short-term ordinary friend, as long as he can speak, his status in Qiyang County will definitely rise, and the master's business will be smoother.

I can't say that I can also borrow the status of this Princess Gesang in the heart of the Queen Mother's old man, so that the Mu family can still be a county lord or a lady of the order, and the prosperity of the Mu family can also be continued.

If it weren't for the fact that the county lord couldn't inherit it, she didn't need to worry so much.

Although the Mu family does not lack seventy percent of the income of a county's tax revenue obtained from the status of the county lord of Lao Taijun, it is rare for the identity of the county lord of Lao Taijun.

This can be regarded as status, even if the grade is low, it is also a royal gift, a symbol of status, and it can hold the field.

In the horse racing competition, Shen Zhuru did not pass the second round.

It's not that she can't win, but she was a little unlucky, and she lost by a thousand miles to the young lady of the Liu family, Liu Yuemei.

But there's nothing to regret when you think about it, the Liu family is a military attachΓ©, and her daughter is more or less good at riding a horse and archery.

After three rounds, there were a total of six people entering the final game, four men, just Qiao Zexuan, Li Hongzhong, Bai Heng, and Liu Anxing, and the women's two sides were Princess Gesang and Liu Yuemei.

The final race of the six is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, even if it is just to see where the people are running around on horseback, but because this group of six people are also handsome men and beautiful women, it seems that they are a little more interested.

With an order to start the race, watching the six people gallop side by side, the horse's head is just a fraction of a second, with the appearance of the first bend, there was immediately a three-level order, Princess Gesang's riding skills are really good, and she actually walked side by side with Liu Anxing, on par.

Liu Anxing has been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child, and he has also learned equestrian well, but he never thought that this Princess Gesang could be on par with him, so he suddenly became competitive and tried his best.

Princess Gesang is also a master who does not admit defeat, it is rare to have a man who does not let himself, go all out to compete with himself, naturally he is going all out, he will lead, she will lead, seeing that he is about to approach the end of the distance of only 100 meters, a yellow dog is so good that he chased the sparrow from the side of the road, scared Princess Gesang a jump, and suddenly startled the horse, with the neighing of the horse, the whole horse's hooves were raised high.
