The eldest grandson's mansion covers a huge area, with many courtyards, towers and pavilions, hidden in a large area of green, and almost every courtyard is an independent world.

This structure is actually the same as Zhang's house, is the result of the big family settlement, but the eldest grandson's family is somewhat unique compared with other families, other families are family clusters, and the eldest grandson's family is separated from each other, this big mansion in the main house only lives in the south of the eldest grandson, each heavy courtyard is actually for his son-in-law to live, this is the biggest feature of the south of the eldest grandson, all the sons-in-law are in the door, except for the son-in-law who is an official in the local area, all the others live in one place.

Song Lianyu is his twentieth son-in-law, living in a corner of the West Cross Courtyard, covering an area that is obviously much smaller than other courtyards, at this moment, the news of his injury spread throughout the whole house, along the way, there are constantly watching the lively maids and women running towards his courtyard.

What surprised Zhang Huan was the cause of his injury, he fell off the horse, could it be that he came back from outside? But the eldest grandson Nanfang said that he was in the mansion, and he didn't let him come to see him, and he fell off his horse in the mansion, what is the reason for this?

turned a corner, and in front of him was Song Lianyu's residence, and the gate was crowded with maids and women watching the excitement, "Get out of the way, the master is here." ”

The angry shouts of the chief butler frightened the maids and women into running in all directions, and in a moment, the onlookers at the door fled cleanly.

Zhang Huan walked into the yard with the south of the eldest grandson, along the way Zhang Huan has found a feature of the eldest grandson's house, that is, there are not many buildings, but the yard is very large, almost every courtyard is laid out like this, and the courtyard in front of him is the same, the front occupies half of the area, there are no rockery pond fish, there are no flowers and trees, the ground is smooth and smooth, the ground is rammed solid, not a single inch of grass grows, a horse is wrongfully tied to a wooden stake in the corner of the wall, and there is a one-person high plank on the opposite side. A small hole was dug in the middle of the plank.

Seeing this wooden board and seeing the round hole in the wooden board, Zhang Huan suddenly realized that he knew why the men of the eldest grandson's family wore riding boots, and he also knew why Song Lianyu fell off the horse, and the answer was polo.

That wooden board is the door of polo, and riding boots are also necessary for playing polo, and the eldest grandson's family turned out to be a fanatical polo fan, and every yard is estimated to be used to practice polo.

Polo in the Tang Dynasty is like today's football in Brazil, it began in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, up to the emperor and officials, down to the common people are very fond, every year after the beginning of autumn, the Tang Empire always has to hold a grand scale polo match, just like today's World Cup, by the counties to form teams to participate, some princes and ministers also have private polo teams, polo originated from the army at the earliest, so the polo teams of the armies are often the last winners.

At the time of the game, Chang'an and even the whole Datang were crazy, and countless fans poured into Chang'an from all over the country to support their own team, a spring imperial examination, an autumn polo, these are the two major events of Datang.

Polo is a very thrilling and strenuous sport, so athletes are required not only to have a strong physique, superb riding skills and ball skills, but also to have bravery, flexibility, tenacity and wit.

The polo field is about the same size as today's football field, with a gate on each side, and the so-called door is a standing wooden plank, with a small hole dug in the middle, and a pocket behind the hole, and the two sides of the game only need to hit the ball into the opponent's hole.

Each team has 10 players on each side, the polo is about the size of a fist, and the knight swings his staff on the horse to fight for the ball, pass, dribble, shoot, and finally hit the ball into the opponent's goal more times to win.

In Datang, there are many people who are obsessed with polo, Changsun Nanfang is one of them, Changsun Nanfang also has its own polo team, the golden beetle is about to finish fishing, all his energy is turned to polo, last year Changsun family polo team reached the top 16, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Changsun Nannan.

With the time of the game has been less than three months, the eldest grandson Nanfang has reached an almost crazy level in preparation for the polo match, his daughter has taken a fancy to Zhang Huan, and he has taken a fancy to Zhang Huan's hands of the three thousand fine horses, this is an endless treasure of talents, if Zhang Huan can be recruited as a son-in-law, then his eldest grandson Nanfang will win the championship of the polo tournament is just around the corner.

Song Lianyu had been carried into a hut close to the courtyard, and low moans of pain kept coming from the house.

Several maids in the house saw the old man come in, they all lowered their heads and flashed to the side, Zhang Huan stopped when he walked to the door, he saw that there were female relatives in the house, but it was not good to follow up.

This is a room for groceries, there is a dilapidated wooden couch in it, Song Lianyu is lying on the couch, he is wearing a tight-fitting beard, the riding boots on his feet have been taken off, and a cane is resting next to him.

There was a woman squatting next to him, she was desperately shaking Song Lianyu's body, she was about eighteen or nine years old, because she was young, so her appearance could barely be called pretty, her nose was very pointed, and there was no flesh, this nose shape was usually seen on the faces of those witches and priests, it looked a little gloomy, and at this moment she was also full of anxiety, but it was not the kind of anxiety that worried about the injury, but a kind of eagerness that hated iron and steel.

She is Song Lianyu's wife, the eldest grandson Xiaodie, and like all married women, the eldest grandson Xiaodie also hopes to be honored by her husband, but Song Lianyu was born in a merchant family and has a low status, which first makes the eldest grandson Xiaodie unable to raise her head in front of her sisters, and secondly, her husband's official position is humble and cowardly, and he himself can't straighten his waist in front of his father-in-law and brothers-in-law, which makes the eldest grandson Xiaodie, who has always been strong, hate it even more.

In order to improve her husband's image in front of his father, the eldest grandson, Fluttershy, came up with the idea of playing polo, and if her husband became a polo master, his father, who had always loved polo, would inevitably look at him differently.

It's a pity that her husband is not a material for playing, and there is still no progress in training for several months, but instead of giving up, she has intensified her efforts to force her husband to practice hard, and he must go home to practice at noon every day.

At noon today, Song Lianyu was drinking outside, missed the practice, the eldest grandson Xiaodie was like crazy, from the moment he went home, he forced him to get on the horse to hit the ball, he was whipped hard as soon as he slackened a little, and finally, even the crotch dismount couldn't stand the madness of the eldest grandson Xiaodie, and in anger, he lifted Song Lianyu, who was already insensitive, off the horse.

"What the hell is going on?" The eldest grandson Nanfang strode into the room and asked with a gloomy face.

When the eldest grandson, Fluttershy, saw her father come in, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Song Lang worked his skills and accidentally fell off his horse. ”

"Oh!" Hearing that his son-in-law was injured for training, the eldest grandson's face improved greatly, at least the son-in-law still knew how to be motivated, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Where were you injured?" ”

Song Lianyu pointed to his leg painfully, and said in a low voice: "Thank you father-in-law for your concern, my son-in-law may have a broken leg bone." ”

"I know, bear with me a little longer, and the doctor will be here soon."

The eldest grandson Nanfang stood up and scolded the housekeeper: "Why don't you go and see it yet, why hasn't the doctor come yet?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little butler rushed to Dr. Han, who was about sixty years old, he was a masseur at the Imperial Medical Department, and after retiring from illness, he opened a clinic in Wubenfang, and with the connections he established in the court, his business was also prosperous, and because he had been serving the eldest grandson's family for a long time, he had actually practiced a good ability to treat bruises.

The house was narrow, Zhang Huan hurriedly dodged a way, and Doctor Han walked into the house quickly, arched his hand to the south of the eldest grandson, and said apologetically: "I just came back from the outside for medical treatment, and I came late, so you are not strange." ”

"It's okay!" The eldest grandson Nanfang waved his hand, pointed at Song Lianyu and said, "The little son-in-law fell off the horse, I'm afraid he will hurt his muscles and bones, please take a look at Doctor Han." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered everyone to go out, the eldest grandson Xiaodie hesitated, but still stayed, just as Zhang Huan and the eldest grandson Nanfang left the small courtyard, he seemed to faintly hear a woman's anxious voice, "Doctor Han, how long does he have to lie down before he can ride a horse?" ”

．．．．．．．．．

"Virtuous nephew, since you have 3,000 elite horsemen under your command and are very good at riding and shooting, why don't you form a few polo teams?"

The eldest grandson Nanfang frowned, as if Zhang Huan was tyrannical and domineering, and he said in a slightly complaining tone: "I remember that there are two polo fields in the East Inner Garden, and the finals were held there three years ago, so why don't you have to get up with such convenient conditions?" ”

Zhang Huan nodded and said with a smile: "In fact, when I was in Taiyuan, the sons and daughters of our army had practiced polo, and there were many masters among them, but they had just arrived in the capital and were stationed, and they still needed a period of adaptation. ”

Eldest Sun Nanfang quickly glanced at Zhang Huan and asked tentatively: "It's easy to just form a polo team, but if you want to win the game, you need a lot of skills, such as understanding the strength and weakness of the opponent, etc., I have a staff member who is an expert in this area, why don't I let him help you?" ”

Zhang Huan smiled, he had already heard the voice of the eldest grandson in the south, he had taken a fancy to the strength of the Tianqi camp, although Zhang Lian also knew that he was indeed just for polo, and it was okay to promise him, but he had a brother-in-law, that is, the right minister Cui Yuan, based on this alone, how could he let the people from the south of the eldest grandson insert into the Tianqi camp.

At that moment, Zhang Huan smiled faintly and said: "I received Uncle Shi's kindness, but the Tianqi Battalion is the emperor's direct guard, and I can't be the master, if Uncle Shi really has the intention of cooperating, you might as well go and tell the emperor." ”

Seeing that Zhang Huan was unwilling, the eldest grandson Nanfang felt a little unhappy in his heart, but this matter could not be too reluctant, he had to think about it in the long run, he laughed dryly and said: "Hehe! This is just a trivial matter, there is no need to alarm the emperor, let's talk about it later! ”

The two walked a few more steps, and then a family member rushed to meet them, "Master, Wang Qilang of the polo team fell off his horse during training and injured his muscles and bones!" ”

The eldest grandson Nannan's face turned pale, Wang Qilang was his top scorer, how could he be injured at this critical time, he suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Quick!" Go and call Dr. Han, I'll change clothes first, and then I'll be there. ”

"But Doctor Han is treating Aunt Song, do you want me to find another doctor?" The butler replied hesitantly.

The eldest grandson Nanfang glanced at Zhang Huan, hurriedly pulled the housekeeper aside, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You bastard, it's Wang Qilang who is injured, don't you know?" Uncle told him to bear with it first, or find another doctor. ”

The housekeeper agreed, and quickly turned around, the eldest grandson Nannan was anxious, he hurriedly Zhang Huan apologized and said: "I have something urgent to go first, just go to dinner with the virtuous nephew, I will let the little girl entertain you, she is the main one to accompany the virtuous nephew to eat today." ”

Zhang Huan suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Not good! ”

The eldest grandson Nanfang was startled, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter with the virtuous nephew?" ”

Zhang Huan also seemed to be anxious, and he hurriedly said apologetically to the eldest grandson Nannan: "I also have a brother who has diarrhea today, it is very serious, I must visit him, Uncle Shi, then I will be out of company first." ”
