Chapter Ninety-Three: Polo Club II
Zhang Erzhen has always eaten in Butterfly Courtyard, and then took two girls to Zhenghui Courtyard to greet the Jin family. Jin was resting with his eyes closed, and heard a loud voice: "Are you ready?" Now it's going to be repeated again, you are not allowed to embarrass people in the house when you go out, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do what you can't do, follow your mother honestly, don't make people laugh." "Jin Shi is wearing a yellow bikini, a long aqua green skirt, a long hairpin with Zhijingfu between the sideburns, and a silver skein silver bracelet with silver light on his wrist, which looks really elegant and magnificent. Zhang Erzhen once again sighed at Jin's good looks, and bowed his head obediently and said yes.
Jin sighed and said: "There are many people with heads and faces in Beijing, in this realm, what kind of small shrimp can we be, just be honest, don't go out of anything." Zhang Erzhen only looked at the delicately embroidered green leaves on the skirt, and the Jin family chattered and said something, but it was still some old words, and Zhang Erzhen felt that she could memorize it.
But a quarter of an hour, a blue-gray clothed woman said that the carriage was ready, and the Jin family was supported by the green willow and walked slowly to the door, Zhang Erzhen followed behind, thinking that she was going to see Li Zhuozhuo, and she was also excited. With the Jin family going out together, naturally there is no need to make that little carriage anymore, this time it is two large carriages painted with paulownia wood, and the horses are brown with long hair and oil, and they look in good spirits. The Jin family took Zhang Erzhen to sit in one, and the rest of the maids and daughters-in-law took one. Zhang Erzhen stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage, and after a while, the carriage ran leisurely. The carriage was covered with thick and soft velvet cushions, and Jin leaned on the equally soft carriage to look at Zhang Erzhen, and sighed: "They all say that you look very similar to me, but I didn't see it." Your uncle Rong wrote to him that he is now in charge of Wuchang Yizhi County, and he also sent some gadgets, which will be carried to your courtyard when he returns. ”
Zhang Erzhen was puzzled: "No wonder I haven't seen Uncle Rong, he is staggering from us." When I left Yizhou, my second aunt gave birth to a lovely little brother, and Uncle Rong was really happy. ”
"What's the gratification, if he can stay in the Hanlin Academy as a Jiji like your father at that time, he will have a future when he enters the cabinet in the future. It's a pity, it's the same as your father, the luck is not good, and I didn't get to the ...... in time."
Zhang Erzhen felt that the Jin family did not understand the difficulties and dangers of the world than her, and this year's imperial examination was also one in a million selection of talents, and those who could be admitted were the elite of the elite, which was much more difficult than her previous life. The Jin family is still not satisfied, too, in the capital of this big official, a white-bearded old man on the street may be a pavilion elder in the world, and Zhang Luan, who has no background, is really a bit ......
The carriage traveled smoothly, and after entering Qiliu Lane, it slowed down, especially when it approached the door of the Treasure Pavilion. Jin closed his eyes and stopped talking, Zhang Erzhen also yawned sleepily, the carriage, which was already moving very slowly, stopped suddenly, only to hear a neighing horse, Zhang Erzhen did not sit firmly and fell on the wall of the carriage. Jin was dissatisfied and asked what was going on, only to hear the little guy outside: "It was a little child who rushed out of the Treasure Pavilion, and the carriage was in a hurry to avoid it that disturbed the lady and girl." Zhang Erzhen lifted the curtain and looked out, the front was crowded, and a woman was nervously holding a small doll and looking up and down to see if it had been touched by the carriage just now. There are several soft sedan chairs in front of the Treasure Pavilion, one of which is particularly eye-catching, the sedan chair hangs down a heavy golden bead curtain, and four strong sedan chair men carry it over, just passing by Zhang Erzhen's carriage, the sedan chair bead curtain flickered, Zhang Erzhen rarely saw Yi Qian's demonic face, when Yi Qian turned his head to look, Zhang Erzhen suddenly put down the curtain, and after taking a long breath, he remembered that Yi Qian didn't know her now, but there was no silver here.
The child was fine, and the woman got out of the way, and the carriage continued to clatter on. The polo field is on a large grass in the depths of Qiliu Lane, and there is already a lot of traffic in front of the door, with all kinds of paulownia wood lacquered carriages coming and going, maids and women shuttling among them, hairpins and hairpins, and colorful clothes fluttering. Mrs. Zhongping Boliang was talking with Mrs. Yihuafu, smiling and full of spring breeze. Zhang's carriage couldn't come in, so it stopped half a mile away, Zhang Erzhen followed the Jin family towards the door, and the familiar ones would bow their heads and say hello with a smile, and Mrs. Liang sent the woman in, only then did she catch up with the Jin family, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang, long time no see." Jin stepped forward to help Mrs. Liang's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Madame is fine, I haven't seen you for a long time, Madame's face is still the same, and she looks so good." Zhang Erzhen also blessed the courtesy, the two ladies exchanged pleasantries, Jin took Zhang Erzhen in, and Mrs. Liang continued to smile and walked towards the next lady......
The green grass in the field is secluded, there is no depression scene in early autumn, there are several rows of seats on the outer edge, all of them are dark cypress, and there are many paintings embedded with gold leaf on the wall, there are chirping war horses, there are Erlang with fluttering clothes, and there are also maidservants with fans. The position of the mother and daughter of the Zhang family is in the southwest direction, and they are brought to the seat by the delicately dressed little maid, and the tea and fruit snacks are readily available on the desk, and the hot tea is curling, and the slender figures around are shuttling, looking very lively.
Jin sat down, and the lady on the side called: "Mrs. Zhang, the weather is good today, you are also coming to see polo?"
Jin looked at it and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xing, you are here too." ”
Mrs. Xing said: "Mrs. Zhongpingbo's post, how can she appreciate her face, doesn't she?" She also said that it was a good day, and there were many people here, and it was very lively. ”
Jin changed his tired attitude on the carriage, was full of joy, and talked with Mrs. Xing. Zhang Erzhen sat on one side, looking at the ladies and ladies who came and went, and saw Li Zhuozhuo, who was dressed in blue and orange clothes, following behind the ochre beauty, it happened that Li Zhuozhuo also saw her, so he waved his hand from afar, Li Zhuozhuo blinked mischievously, Zhang Erzhen covered his mouth and smiled, because Li Zhuozhuo pointed at the beautiful woman's willow eyebrows and frowned lightly, and the mouth shape was probably: I want to follow my mother, and I will look for you later.
Zhang Erzhen looked around, and after a while, she saw an acquaintance, it was Shao Qi, the eldest girl of the Shao family, who was now going to be called the grandmother of Yi'an Houfu, she was dressed luxuriously, and the red gold phoenix tail agate tassel was particularly dazzling, and she was smiling and talking to the woman on one side. The place where Shao Qi sat was closer to the center, and the seat in the center was still empty, so it was Mrs. Liang who invited a big name to watch polo. The most stylish ones usually appear late, after Zhang Erzhen drank a cup of tea, the center finally sat down, and there were many people in the middle Zhang Erzhen couldn't see it very really, but he felt that the beautiful women and maids were in groups, shining with golden light, and very magnificent.
The ladies who were originally sitting separately went over to talk a few words one after another, and Mrs. Xing also passed, but the Jin family was disdainful, took a sip of tea and whispered to Zhang Erzhen: "Do you know who the middle one is?" Isn't it the sister-in-law of Concubine Shao, the eldest lady of the prince's young master Shao's family. Look at the girls in the family, they are counting on the Shao family, thinking of becoming a princess in the future, my mother doesn't expect it, I have such a daughter in my belly, and I have already decided on someone, so I won't rush to tie up. ”
Zhang Erzhen glanced at the Jin family differently, and secretly said that the Jin family's eight-sided intelligence network is also good. Jin said again: "If you don't settle on someone, I will definitely have to fight." ”
Zhang Erzhen asked: "I just want to be the imperial concubine, what's the use of the Shao family agreeing? ”
Jin hated: "There are only six princes today, and half of them are from Concubine Shao's belly, isn't that amazing." Lord Shao is also the young master of the crown prince, and he is naturally close to His Royal Highness the prince and the princes every day, so that most of the princes are related to the Shao family. As long as Shao Fu is willing to say a few good words on the top, he will be able to enter the eyes of the above. The Shao family is blessed, and the future will be extravagant. After Jin whispered, Mrs. Xing came back, with a smug smile on her face, and Mrs. Jin asked, "Mrs. Xing is so happy to see this, but what is the good news?"
Mrs. Xing said: "It's not my daughter-in-law yet, but I gave birth to a daughter yesterday." ”
...... Scratching is Jin's smile also stiffened, and the granddaughter who was born didn't let go, what kind of demons and monsters these ladies were.
After the greetings, the organizer Mrs. Liang said a few simple words, with a gong sound, the doors on both sides opened, and two groups of people rode out, one team with a red ribbon around their waists and a red canvas hat wrapped around their heads, and the other pair was all yellow, the law of the ages - red and yellow competition.
Zhang Erzhen didn't have the heart to look around, and looked carefully while munching on melon seeds. I saw the gray referee in the middle throw the ball, and a man from the red team swung a pole to hit a ball, and began to attack the opponent's goal with a clamp on the horse's belly. The so-called goal is nothing more than a two-foot circle dug in the middle of a sturdy mahogany color board, and a large circular gong stands not far behind the wooden board. Just at the beginning, the red and yellow teams are obviously equal, you come and I don't give in to each other, thanks to the thick and tight grass has not made it dusty, Zhang Erzhen has always liked intense sports, and the blood is surging, just like the Thai team that watched the national football team vs. Savadika, when the yellow team scored a goal, Zhang Erzhen slapped his thigh excitedly, "Beautiful!" almost blurted out......
The field was very anxious, and someone patted Zhang Erzhen's shoulder, Zhang Erzhen indecently spit out the melon seed shell and looked back, Li Zhuozhuo was standing behind with a smile and a smile, and whispered: "Look at the game like this, I know that we are all the way." Zhang Erzhen quietly looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Sister Zhuo, why are you here?"
Li Zhuozhuo sat down next to Zhang Erzhen unceremoniously, and said while eating: "Look at the polo game, it's the same everywhere, I look at you so carefully, and I'm afraid you can't understand it, so I'll explain it to you." ”
Zhang Erzhen looked towards the place where Li Zhuozhuo was sitting, Mrs. Li was talking happily with a lady in green willow and green, knowing that Li Zhuozhuo was bored and sneaked over, so she whispered: "Sister Zhuo, you came just in time, let's look together, I can't understand it, why doesn't the red team score a goal just now?"
Li Zhuozhuo began to twitter to explain, Zhang Erzhen occasionally nodded in agreement, the eyes of the two slipped around on the field, the poles of the yellow team had been erected two, the red team was obviously anxious, playing harder and harder, until the yellow team scored another goal, a stick of incense burned out, the first half ended, there was a sparse applause from the sidelines, belonging to Li Zhuozhuo and Zhang Erzhen's drum of the most energetic, the yellow team is extraordinary, the offense and defense are properly arranged, the guard is tight, and Zhang Erzhen's blood is boiling.
"I'm not wrong, this is called polo, those delicate you let me, what do I let you call polo. ”
Zhang Erzhen said: "I also like this kind of activity, it makes people excited to look at it, Sister Zhuo, you have to teach me another day, I haven't ridden a horse yet." ”
"That's definitely yes, it taught you, let's team up again, and we'll be invincible. Li Zhuozhuo laughed, and happened to catch a glimpse of Liang Aiwan sitting next to Mrs. Liang, Liang Aiwan's little face was shy, and she said curiously: "Look at Wan'er, what are you doing with such a red face." Mrs. Shao was sitting next to Mrs. Liang, seeing that Mrs. Shao was going to be busy today, and any lady had to go to talk to her, and my mother was still going. ”
Zhang Erzhen replied in a low voice: "Today was invited by Mrs. Liang, and Sister Wan is not as free as us." This is also the first time I have seen Mrs. Shao, and I see that she is really rich. ”
Li Zhuozhuo also praised: "Isn't it, it is said that Mrs. Shao is stained with Concubine Shao's light." ”
"It's all a family, what do you say that you can't get clean, that's called sharing honor and disgrace, right?" Concubine Shao is good, the Shao family is favored, the young concubine is unlucky, and the Shao family is miserable. After Zhang Erzhen finished speaking, Li Zhuozhuo blinked and replied: "You are right. ”
The gong of the second half was soon sounded, the yellow team was far ahead in the first half, this time it turned to attack and defend, let the fierce counterattack of the red team, and will also score a goal when the incense is about to burn out, the yellow team finally won and obtained the color head prepared by Mrs. Liang in advance, which is not vulgar, it is a box of silver shining silver, all round and very cute.
