Chapter 262: Horse Racing
"Old Yangtou, do you know how to ride a horse?" After Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Xiangwu got acquainted, they directly and affectionately called him Old Yang Tou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, why wouldn't you?" Yang Xiangwu looked at Lu Xiaoyu in surprise.
"I ...... Of course I will, I'm just asking you, my horsemanship is so good that I'm afraid I'll scare you. Lu Xiaoyu just couldn't hold his face, so he pretended to be very good at riding a horse. In fact, you must know that he was a child who grew up in Taoyuan Village, where chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle were raised, but he had never raised horses.
Lu Xiaoyu's impression of horses was still seen at the filming scene after traveling to modern times, and when he saw it for the first time, he was still curious about how there could be such a handsome animal in the world. It's a pity that he has never ridden a horse, and the director can't let him take the lead, so the last scene where he rides a horse is also a stand-in, and this time can be said to be his first time riding a horse in the true sense.
The candidates were gearing up for the challenge of horse racing, and the young man in the fancy costume who had passed the race with the help of his grandfather showed an unpredictable smile, as if he was laughing at those who thought it was a simple equestrian competition.
Everyone was brought to each horse to choose, and of course they chose the tall, well-limbed, handsome horses they liked. Only twenty-five horses were brought in total, and on a first-come, first-served basis, all twenty-one of the more prominent horses were picked out. Only four horses of inferior breed, which were disliked by everyone, were left there. Now there are only Yang Xiangwu, Lu Xiaoyu, who didn't know how to choose a horse, and the Chinese prince who was still looking at the candidates who thought they had chosen a horse early with a mocking smile, and finally Jiang Ge, the filial son who let others pick the horse first in line with the principle of courtesy, was still there waiting for others to choose the horse first.
Seeing that the four of them were left without choosing a horse, the young man in Huafu looked at the four horses that had picked the rest, walked over to see this and that, and finally said to the remaining three with a smile: "Candidates, I have always liked to be polite to others, I will first choose the horse with the inferior quality of these four horses, for me the quality of the horse is second, the important thing is to teach the horseman's equestrian skills is true, so don't be humble, I see that the remaining three horses are almost the same, you can choose one each." He said this in a much louder voice than at the beginning, so that the princess, who was watching the contest in the gauze tent, could hear what he said, and from time to time he peeked at the princess's movements. In fact, if it weren't for Chang Gonggong telling him the content of the competition in advance, he must have chosen the best horse by various means at this time, how could he stay until the end to choose the worst horse.
When the princess heard what Feng Chengjie said, she sat in the purple gauze tent and nodded slightly in approval, and she was even happier to see the princess's move outside, as if she had won the competition. Lu Xiaoyu was very angry when he heard that the good horses were chosen by others, and at this time, he saw that Feng Chengjie took the initiative to pick up the one that was slightly inferior in quality among the twenty-five horses, and he couldn't help but admire it, and he wanted to be polite and say to Feng Chengjie that he would ride that horse, anyway, it is not the same for him to ride any horse, anyway, he will not be able to ride, and don't waste good resources by himself to those who really need it. But when Xi Feng Chengjie heard that Lu Xiaoyu took the initiative to change horses, he was very resolute but he was unwilling to change, and directly led one of the three horses to Lu Xiaoyu.
"This son, don't fight with me anymore, let me ride this horse, these good horses are still left to you people in need." This sentence sounded a little sarcastic to others, but Lu Xiaoyu thought that he was kind enough to give it to him, so he gladly accepted it.
Father-in-law Chang saw all this in his eyes, and secretly thought that this fine seal Chengjie was really carved out of the same mold as his father, so he liked to say such high-sounding scenes, in fact, they were the most scheming, and they were so good at behaving. If it weren't for the fact that Xi Fengren secretly begged him for many times and promised to help him be an insider in the court, he would not be willing to reveal to him this competition question that Wang Jianling could buy for 10,000 gold.
Yang Xiangwu didn't know what horses were good to ride, anyway, just run, the horses in Western Xia were all good horses, and the difference was only a little bit worse. At this time, Jiang Ge, who had not chosen a horse, said: "Senior, you can choose the remaining two horses first, and I will pick the remaining one." "Yang Xiangwu has a strange temper, and ordinary people will be especially grateful if others give up good things to them and respect themselves. But Yang Xiangwu heard Jiang Ge call himself an old-timer, and he had to be considerate of him. Why am I so old that someone else wants me to let me?
He came up with a stubborn temper, and he didn't accept Jiang Ge's feelings, "I understand your kindness, young man, but I'm not as old as you say, you see that I still call this little brother Lu a brother!" Yang Xiangwu pointed at Lu Xiaoyu and said.
"You old Yang head." Lu Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly when he saw Yang Xiangwu's unyielding tone.
"So, I think it's better for you to choose first, and I'll pick the last horse."
Jiang Ge saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he went up to look at the two horses, and finally chose a horse with a little miscellaneous hair and took it away by himself, leaving a horse with a brighter coat color to Yang Xiangwu.
Well, now the twenty-five candidates have all selected the horses, and the twenty-one people before that are still glad that they have chosen the best horses, and the remaining four horses must be eliminated, so they have four less competitors, and they are really happy to think about it, and those four people are still humble, and they really deserve to lose. At this time, Princess Xiaoxiang in the purple gauze tent saw all the process of selecting horses just now, and called the person in charge of the selection of candidate horses that day, Doctor Xian Wenli, to confirm the four people who finally chose horses.
When he learned that one of them was still the son of the fine seal family, Cheng Jie, nodded.
"Princess, what do you think of these four?" These people were all selected by him to enter the palace, and he couldn't help but ask the princess what she thought of these four people.
"This fine Feng Chengjie is the son of the important ministers of the imperial court, it is indeed different, and the character of Jiang Ge, who is filial to his mother, is also good. The remaining two...... Hehe, this palace will not make an evaluation. Seeing that the princess didn't evaluate the other two candidates who won one or two places in the literary examination, Xian Wenli thought that the princess thought that they had a belly of literary talent but were people with low emotional intelligence, maybe they would be a pity that they didn't have a chance.
