Chapter 146: Reappearance of the Horse Farm
On Han Qi's invitation list, Gu Han is naturally indispensable.
The silhouette didn't even glance at the invitation handed over by the visitor, and excused Gu Han from being busy with entertainment and had no time to go, and hoped that Han Qi would forgive him.
He knew that Gu Han was afraid of Han Qi, and he was definitely reluctant to participate in any party with her, not to mention that she was the initiator? If he did, there would have been a lot of noise around him.
Therefore, he didn't need to report the matter to Gu Han, so he directly refused for him.
The person who came seemed to know that there would be such a result, but he still smiled, and did not know the difficulty and retreated, "King Rong is busy with business and entertainment, and our young lady knows it." However, our young lady also said that this time she invited the famous nobles of the county, polo experts, and King Rong's friend Chishui boss! My young lady also invited King Rong to go because of his face, thinking that King Rong would assist her and enjoy the scenery on the horse farm, and she didn't want to ......."
Chi Yue will actually go? The silhouette glanced at the man and asked suspiciously, "Boss Chi is willing to go?" ”
The man nodded, "Exactly, Miss Han personally went to invite her, how dare she refute Miss Han's face?" And the people who enter the polo field tomorrow are all nobles with unusual status, who is smart and doesn't want to take this opportunity to make more friends? Boss Chi thinks that he is such a smart person. ”
The silhouette frowned slightly.
With his understanding of Chi Yue, Chi Yue is not such a person who clings to the powerful, right? She would rather keep her feet on the ground in her business than spare time to participate in such boring games that are not pleasing to her regardless of whether she wins or loses, let alone the host or someone who has a lot of dislike for her?
Although he felt that there was something greasy in it, he knew that this person definitely didn't dare to deceive him, so he nodded, and finally fell his eyes on the invitation card in the man's hand, and took it, "I'll go and ask King Rong to see if he can find time to support Miss Han for this scene." ”
The man nodded happily and wiped a layer of cold sweat from his forehead.
Han Qi gave him a death order, if he couldn't do this, he would be punished with a rod and twenty boards, and he would lose this good job.
Knowing that King Rong should come down, he immediately went back to report the news.
In the early morning of the next day, Chi Yue and Chi Xin came to the county seat horse farm together.
Chi Yue was dressed in a chrysanthemum top and a plain snow silk skirt. Chi Xin was also dressed plainly and elegantly, with a long skirt painted by birds and a water-patterned shirt, which was carefully matched by Chi Yue for her.
Although this cotton cloth is already the most high-grade in the village, here, when compared with the silk and satin of those famous and noble women, it is immediately dwarfed and compared.
Therefore, Wen Jing, who had been with Han Qi all the time, couldn't help but smile when she saw them, and said to Han Qi: "Have you seen it?" A commoner is a commoner, and no matter how you play it, you can't play the role of a nobleman. Even if you were kindly invited here by Miss Han, she was still dressed like a maid and couldn't be on the stage. ”
Han Qi hooked his lips and sneered, wondering what Gu Han liked about Chi Yue? Why can't she even see the slightest bit of Chi Yue's goodness?
Chi Yue first went to greet Mrs. Liu and the others, and then took Chi Xin to the horse farm and handed her a polo stick.
Chi Xin was surprised, "Yue'er, do you want me to fight?" ”
Chi Yue nodded, and before she could say anything, Chi Xin first shook her head and waved her hand in a panic, "No, no, I can't!" I've never played polo, and if I were to play, I would lose! I can't disgrace you! ”
Chi Yue said funny: "Sister, who said that you fought for me?" Anyone who comes here can play, and so can you. Don't be so unconfident in yourself, if you don't give it a try, how do you know you can't do it? ”
"But ......" Chi Xin still has to say something, but to Chi Yue's eyes that are very confident about her, thinking that Chi Yue touched the polo stick for the first time last time, and she has the ability to beat the most powerful Miss Wen Jingwen in the county, so even if she doesn't have such a good talent as Chi Yue, she can learn basic polo skills right away and entertain herself, right?
Chi Xin hesitated for a while, grabbed the polo stick, nodded and said, "Okay, Yue'er, then you can teach me, even if you can't win against others, we can play by ourselves." ”
"That's right." Chi Yue said, pulling Chi Xin to the stable on the side and randomly selecting two horses that were kept in captivity here and ready for the use of the players.
She brought Chi Xin here today to teach her to play polo, which was intended to cultivate Chi Xin's self-confidence. If you have the skills of polo and a sense of self-confidence, you may be able to find a better husband in the future.
In this era when women rely on men to survive, she has to be like the Zhou family, think about this matter for Chi Xin, and take the opportunity to help her.
Naturally, she didn't dare to say this idea to the restrained and shy Chi Xin.
Chi Xin led his brown and yellow horse and stuck out his tongue, "A horse has to give him a hundred wen for as long as he plays in a day, and there must be hundreds of people in this horse farm, so wouldn't a horse breeder earn more than ten taels of silver in one day?" It's so easy to make money. ”
Chi Yue nodded, "Tourism is easy and profitable. What's more, polo is sought after by everyone, and from time to time come to hold a grand party, how can you earn a few hundred taels in a year? Coupled with the gambling and ball games in the audience, the owner of this horse farm has also received thousands of taels. ”
Chi Xin smacked her tongue, "Our workshop is nothing compared to them. It's really someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. ”
Chi Yue first taught Chi Xin to ride a horse.
Chi Xin, who rarely rides even donkeys and oxen, finally tamed the horse under him with the help of Chi Yue. When I was about to learn to hit with Chi Yue, the racecourse was already crowded, as if there were more than 200 people, and the audience was full.
But when the last distinguished guest, Gu Han, came, the most central high-class seat was still reserved for him. He sat straight inside, chatted briefly with the noisy people, and then gestured, ordering the people below to disperse the "fans" who were eager for him, just glancing at Chi Yue from time to time.
The first time he entered the racecourse, he searched for the trace of Chi Yue, and after that, his eyes could not allow others to enter, Chi Yue was like the brightest star in the starry sky, so that he was obsessed and couldn't take his eyes off.
Han Qi, who had already won three games, saw Gu Han coming, threw off the polo cue, and happily came up, ready to chat with him, but was stopped by the silhouette, "I'm sorry Miss Han, King Rong just came back from a busy workshop and wants to be alone for a while, so I hope you don't want to disturb him." ”
Han Qi frowned and said unhappily: "Others can't see him, can't I?" I'm the host today, and I've invited King Rong, so shouldn't I say hello first? ”
"If Miss Han really thinks about King Rong, it is better to follow his wishes, otherwise it will displease King Rong and go back, don't blame you for not reminding you."
"You!" Han Qi wanted to have a seizure, but because there were so many people around her, and the silhouette's martial arts skills were high, she had to swallow the words of reprimand.
Looking at Gu Han again, he just looked in one direction and narrowed slightly, as if he was appreciative and happy.
She followed his gaze and saw Chi Yue on the lawn of the horse farm, riding a swarthy steed, carefully teaching Chi Xin the basic moves of playing polo.
Resentment sprung up in Han Qi's chest, and his teeth clenched.
It turned out that he came here with all his heart and soul just for her!
Even if she used Chi Yue to attract Gu Han at the beginning, but at this moment, seeing that he was completely focused on Chi Yue, she still couldn't accept it.
Chi Yue, I must defeat you! She clenched her fists and swore secretly.
Just as he was about to step forward to look for Chi Yue, Han Qi was stopped by Wen Jing on the side.
Wen Jing pulled her to a secluded place and whispered, "Miss Han, use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens?" Last time, because of the help of King Rong, this girl defeated me. This time, I want to see if this girl has any chance of winning without the help of King Rong. ”
Since Chi Yue defeated Wen Jing, Wen Jing was unwilling no matter what, always thinking about winning the lost game from Chi Yue and saving face.
At this time, with this opportunity, how could she not want to take revenge with one arrow, and at the same time, take the opportunity to show her ability?
Han Qi was worried, "How can you tell King Rong not to help her?" ”
Seeing Gu Han's eyes staring at Chi Yue's appearance, he couldn't wait to immediately step forward and gallop side by side with her, so as to suit his wishes.
Wen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "I've thought about this a long time ago." The second son of the Bai family and King Rong have always been good friends. I heard that he was going to form a team of eight and have a two-horse vs. two-horse competition, and he was missing a good partner. I suggested that he go to the king of the best polo player? Everyone wants to appreciate his skills. Bai Er Gongzi immediately agreed, thinking that he was on his way to invite King Rong here. ”
As they were talking, they really saw Bai Ergongzi walking into Gu Han's private room and sitting down opposite Gu Han unceremoniously.
The silhouette did not stop it, and the people below immediately served tea to Bai Ergongzi, which was very different from the attitude towards Han Qi and others.
Han Qi was so angry that smoke rose above his head. Isn't she even as good as a son-in-law in a small place? Gu Han looked down on her so much!
Probably the second son of Bai put forward the condition of inviting Gu Han, Gu Han agreed without saying a word, drank two cups of tea with each other, and then got up and swept past everyone and went to the center of the polo field.
"And then?" In order to prevent himself from having the urge to catch up, Han Qi asked Wen Jing coldly.
Wen Jing hooked her lips and smiled, "The next thing is much simpler and easier, we can go to find Chi Yue and send her a challenge letter, asking her to choose a random ...... among the men we introduced."
Han Ying read the next words in Wen Jing's meaningful eyes, and he smiled sinisterly in his heart.
Chi Yue heard a deafening cheer erupting in the audience, and looked up, thinking that there was something lively to see, but saw Gu Han partnering with Bai Ergongzi, confronting the other two horses, and a bloody storm was about to break out.
The origin of this elated cheer is naturally Gu Han. Except for Gu Han, who can win so many admirers?
Chi Yue couldn't help but stop teaching Chi Xin to play, and looked at the center of the polo court in a daze, expecting to enjoy Gu Han's brilliant performance.
Chi Xin knew this, and rode to the side with interest, playing polo on the ground by herself, trying to grasp the "essentials" that Chi Yue said.
She tried to swing hard, and in an instant, the polo sped out, and she was about to roll out of the green lawn and into the audience.
Chi Xin was anxious, and while he was worried about why he had used so much force, he tugged on the reins, wanting to step forward and retrieve the ball.
Suddenly, the ball was blocked by something, ran back, and happened to stop under Chi Xin's horse.
