Chapter 109: The Wine of Da Shun Zhai
At night, the drizzle falls on the earth, like silk, and falls on the ground and splashes dust. The rain gives birth to a hundred grains, pure and clear, and the moment of the sea is stunned, and it is advisable to pray for blessings and alliances.
Washed by rain overnight, Hayama is full of greenery. In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
There are Longjing spring tea buds all over the mountains, and there are green grass on the vast horse farm stretching at the southern foot of Yushan Mountain, drinking enough spring rain and growing another stubble.
Overnight, the blue lake of Xiaolianzhuang grows a large area of green lotus, the rhizome is straight, standing on the shore and looking at the morning sun shining in the lotus leaves, it is the variety that Cui Mingwei personally transplanted in the mouth of Qianyanzhou in that year. It's a pity that the people are no longer there, leaving a lake of green lotus.
In the early morning, the horse's hooves step on the grass, and the water can seep out slightly, so that the horse farm deserves the praise of abundant water and grass.
Today, the people of Taikang City are waiting to see that the horse fighting competition is about to be the king of horses. The second round of the Fighting Horse Contest adopts the bye system, and one person is never allowed to have two byes, the first round of the draw bye has a rest, and after the other two groups determine the winner, the three people will draw lots to determine the opponent, and one person who has been byed again will rest and wait for the appearance of the ultimate opponent. Therefore, this kind of lottery bye system is very lucky, and after lunch, there will be the ultimate battle to see who can come out on top.
Everyone attending the meeting today is dressed up to attend, which is both courtesy and enjoyment.
Although the spring polo club is only three days, these three days are enough time for a pair of men and women to fall in love from strange to familiar.
It was Cui Hanzhang who was carefully picked up by the Taofu girl in the bedroom at home, "The son is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade." It's our son-in-law. β
The peach talisman seemed to be carving a delicate jade, looking left and right, looking back and forth, and praising it in his mouth.
"Childe, I and the people who led the soldiers, who came and went in the wind and rain all day long, were cleaned up like this by you, Bai Yanqiu was the first to lose my little white face." The bronze mirror was dressed well, and he felt quite unreal to himself.
The moire lining robe covers the body, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns with snow-white piping, and the jade belt around his waist and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head complement each other. Years of martial arts practice have made his posture as tall as an aspen, with a bee waist and tiger back mantis legs, and his figure is even better than Ouchi Jin Yuwei. According to the meaning of the peach charm girl, this body is too plain, and the color should be brighter, just like the scorching peach blossom.
"He said his, let's wear ours, why bother with that. You both owe a lot of money. The slender fingers of the peach fu gently smoothed the folds on the moire robe, and the meticulousness could not tolerate a trace of messiness. When she was sorting out her clothes, her eyebrows raised, her face was full of disdain, she had always been very assertive, and she couldn't pull back the eight cows that she had identified.
The two were very close, and a faint body fragrance penetrated into his nose, which made people feel a little uneasy. Cui Hanzhang couldn't help but exhale softly, the root of the hot peach talisman ear was slightly red, and in order to resolve the embarrassment, Cui Hanzhang said:
"Brothers, they hurt each other to see the truth, and the politeness is called estrangement, and the mood is happy after the mouth."
After the peach charm girl carefully arranged his clothes, she gave him a reserved glance and walked away.
Cui Hanzhang's mood was as bright as the spring in March, turned over and walked out of Cuiwei Gate slowly, and happened to meet Bai Yanqiu, who was oily and powdery, under the city gate, so he teased: "Hou Ye is waiting for me?" β
"Look at your coquettish outfit, it seems that you have bad thoughts today!" Bai Yanqiu flew over with a look, his eyes were shining with that evil smile, and he was really not beaten.
"The dog can't spit out ivory. This leader is a man by strength, and he does things by talent. Cui Hanzhang smiled and approached quietly harmlessly, and suddenly kicked Bai Yanqiu to sit down on the horse's buttocks, the horse was frightened and immediately ran away, and Bai Yanqiu leaned forward and backwards.
"Let's have a race, see who gets to the Hayama Racecourse first, and if you lose, you have to ask for wine." Looking at Bai Yanqiu, who was crumbling on the horse, Cui Hanzhang smiled not to mention how happy he was, and followed closely behind to urge the horse to catch up.
Although Bai Yanqiu was attacked by him and staggered on the horse, he managed to stabilize the situation, unhurriedly reined in the horse's reins, and chased after a mile, so he turned his head and shouted:
"Inform the Taofu girl as soon as possible to send you money, tonight Dashun Zhai, Benhou will eat you. Drive! β
The two of you chased me and rushed towards the Hayama Racecourse, the wind whistling in their ears, and the scenery along the way quickly regressed.
On the official road, there were also red men and green women walking leisurely and slowly, and they heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves from a distance and dodged. I saw a white robe and a blue robe, empty and dusty, with wide sleeves fluttering, approaching quickly from the end of the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a gust of wind rolling in front of me, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was the two sons and brothers in brocade clothes who were racing horses.
"The horse is like a dragon, and the person is like a jade, he is really a good man in the world." Someone exclaimed.
Both of them were good-looking, but the horse's hooves were galloping by, rolling up dust, annoying people. Helplessly, the two horses were like lightning in the wind, and they could only scold at their backs: "Gentleman! β
The spring breeze was blowing, and the vision was immediately broadened, and the two saw a large number of men and women waiting for admission gathered near the gate of the racecourse from a distance, and it seemed that there was no result in this race.
"Get out of the way!" Bai Yanqiu shouted loudly on the horse, and waved his hand to disperse.
The speed of the two horses is too fast, if you don't warn in time, you may trample and hurt people, although it is a suburban horse, but if someone has a heart to make a fuss, participate in the two of them, it will inevitably make people criticize him for being arrogant.
The sound of horses' hooves had already alarmed the crowd, all of whom had come here to participate in the polo game, and apart from a few of the ladies who were a little frightened, the men were so excited that they all automatically made way for them, and even whistled and coaxed.
After all, these two masters are already in high positions, and it is inconvenient to end up because of their identities, but it is also a blessing to be able to see the two of them racing horses in the suburbs at this time. Both of them were hunched over their horses and adjusted the rhythm of their breaths to the same rhythm as their mounts.
"Look, the one in the white robe and the black horse is Cui Hanzhang, the tanhualang, and he really looks good!" There was a sharp-eyed girl in the crowd who recognized the Tanhualang who was parading the streets back then, although the words were slightly reserved, but the had betrayed her heart.
The girls around all looked in the direction of her finger, screaming and screaming, without the slightest shyness. This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the men next to him, and it was not easy to refute it directly, so he moved Lingwu Hou out to suppress Tan Hualang, and said: "You are really blind to Mount Tai, but the blue-robed son who was in front of him is our first-class Lingwu Hou of the Divine Light Dynasty, not much stronger than those who can only embroider their legs." β
"That is, Lingwu Hou is generous, heroic and heroic, and has the style of an ancient famous general." Since someone started the way, someone followed suit.
"Who do you say embroiders legs? Tanhualang is one of the eight horses of Shenguang arranged by Mingjin Building, and the sentence is a left-handed poem and a right-handed gun, a character who is both civil and military. I think you're just jealous. Some girls shouted for Cui Hanzhang and refuted him with a dissatisfied face, and the other girls nodded without hesitation.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and there was no shortage of people of insight who commented on it. One is the Tanhualang who ranks among the top three in Jinke, and he is a good poet who writes a good poem, and the other is the hereditary noble son of the Lingwu Marquis Mansion, especially the triumphant return of carrying the coffin into Beihu and winning him a great reputation.
The similarity between the two is that they are in a high position at a young age and rise very fast, and both military exploits and political achievements are not small. In particular, Tanhualang Cui Hanzhang is self-made, originally a potter from the countryside, and seized the opportunity to carp over the dragon gate to become a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, so at this time the two horse racing attracted the attention of many people.
At first, both of them deliberately slowed down, but when they sat down, they couldn't hold back, and they ran more and more vigorously near the finish line. Seeing that the crowd in front of them automatically gave way, their clenched reins quickly loosened.
The first half of the road from Cuiweimen to Yushan Racecourse was mostly a curve, and Bai Yanqiu set off in advance to take the lead and firmly stuck the main position; After jumping over the low hill in the second half of the race, the straight is the best at using the snow on the straight, so he seized the opportunity to burst out with amazing sprint, and in the blink of an eye, he was already halfway there.
Bai Yanqiu turned around and saw him close in front of him, and said with a wicked smile: "Come and don't be rude, I'll give you a kick too." β
As soon as the voice fell, he first patted the horse's neck to give it a signal, sat down and the treasure horse communicated with him, raised his hips to convey assistance, and saw Bai Yanqiu leaning against the horse's body in the air to prop up, and leaning sideways to think about the horse's head covered with snow in the right rear.
Cui Hanzhang didn't expect this grandson to cheat, so he hurriedly reined in and forcibly slowed down the horse, thinking:
"Bai Yanqiu, this grandson, is small-minded, and he will do everything to trick me into a big drink."
The dark clouds covered the snow and ran in the middle of it, and suddenly he was forced to slow down and provoke the ferocity, and he actually hit the kicked leg with the high head of the horse. Then the front hooves were raised slightly, looking up to the sky and neighing, extremely uncooperative with the owner on his back.
Suddenly, a strong force came from his feet, which almost made Bai Yanqiu unbearable, but fortunately, his riding skills were amazing, his arm grabbed the horse's neck, rotated around the horse's head, and the big sleeves fluttered back to the horse's back again.
"See? The king of horses in the last horse fighting competition is by no means in vain. "The men who were stabbed by a group of girls to internal injuries just now immediately found a new breakthrough, and it was really Bai Yanqiu's trick just now that he was shocked.
"Lingwu Hou's move is so handsome! You see, he is standing on horseback, with a blue robe and a jade belt, and he is handsome. A woman shouted directly, where can she still be half reserved.
"Yes, yes. Look at his eyes, gaze ahead and move forward, with the momentum of giving up on others, this is the real manhood. The girl next to her, who didn't know each other, seemed to find a common topic, and chirped.
The memories of the girls are very short, and they are even more unreasonable. Especially when I saw the handsome and extraordinary Bai Yanqiu revealing this unique skill, I didn't care which of them was better, anyway, both of them were single aristocrats. They all looked at Lingwuhou with a look of adoration, and they couldn't tolerate others in their eyes, so they couldn't guess what the girls were thinking.
At this time, the three of Ru Jingxiu, who were crowded in the crowd, came out of the crowd, and each stepped forward to help the two of them stabilize their mounts, especially Huo Guang's eyes lit up, and he said with an urgent expression: "Brother Bai, quickly teach this trick to the younger brother." β
"Brother Guang'er, don't worry, I'll take you to run two laps later, this trick is the heaviest internal strength breath and horse matching, you and Cuilong have grown up together, they are most familiar with each other, and they will be very easy to learn." Bai Yanqiu jumped off the horse and threw the reins to him, patted him on the shoulder, and then walked towards Cui Hanzhang and said loudly:
"Let's go to Dashunzhai tonight to drink a big wine, the three of you have a good girl to bring together, and your big brother Cui is in for a treat."
