203. Chapter 203

"I just came here to ask the fourth lady, why is there only one or two of Yueyin left for Yan'er this month?" Hua Jiangyue didn't have the heart to go around the bend with her, and directly explained her intention.

The corners of the fourth lady's mouth were slightly raised, but there was a sad look on her face, and she sighed and said: "Now the world is chaotic, and the family is not as rich as in the past. All aspects of the house are shrinking, and the monthly silver in each room is also decreasing, even if you come to visit your relatives, you won't be able to stay for a few days, so you can just do it, even with me here. ”

Before Hua Jiangyue spoke, Jade couldn't listen to it, the fourth lady was obviously bullying them, and said angrily at the moment: "But Jade heard that some young ladies have five taels of silver per month, and my young lady used to have two taels of silver, which is enough enough, and now where is the remaining one or two enough?"

Hua Jiangyue saw the fourth lady raise her head, her eyes were full of anger, it was estimated that she was angered by Jade's allusion to her daughter's five taels, and saw Jade take a step forward and reason with her, so she was afraid that Jade would suffer, so she hurriedly wanted to pull Jade behind her. "Smack!" The woman in red who came in from outside the door beat the person, the woman who practiced the whip in the outfield, and Tang Min, the daughter of the fourth lady. A slap made her emerald white cheeks red and swollen, and she scolded angrily: "Miss Ben is five taels of silver." What, not convinced?"

Hua Jiangyue saw that Jade was beaten, she was angry and distressed, although she was used to being bullied, but just watching Jade being beaten, she couldn't swallow this anger in her heart.

Hua Jiangyue had no smile on her face for a long time, looked at the fourth lady with a cold face, and said with a hint of mockery: "The fourth lady is unfair. If you really bully Hua Jiangyue, maybe letting your father preside over justice Siniang will change her mind?"

"What are you that dare to talk to my mother like this?" Seeing this, Tang Min pushed Hua Jiangyue hard, and stood beside his mother with an angry face and scolded.

At this moment, a group of people came in from outside, it was the group of men and women who were practicing in the field, and they were also the children of the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady in the family.

"What's so lively?" a thinner man, seeing the strange atmosphere inside, asked with a funny face.

"What's the matter, she bullied my mother!" With a gesture of his little hand, seeing that the helper was coming, Tang Min said viciously to Hua Jiangyue.

"Ah, isn't this from Beiwu, why, aren't you hiding over there and coming out to pick up money?" Hearing this, the thin man immediately helped, and immediately sneered at Hua Jiangyue.

"No, she didn't ask for money for a tael or two. Tang Min followed up and said with a disdainful face, but a wicked smile rose on his lips.

"Really, it's so pitiful!" A woman in purple in the crowd heard this, poured out a few copper plates from her purse and counted them, and with a look of charity, a few copper plates rolled down to Hua Jiangyue's feet, and said kindly: "I brought these today, take them back and use them first." ”

Everyone thought that Hua Qianyue would be angry or crying, but they never expected that Hua Qianyue just looked at them very coldly, and then bent down to pick up a copper plate at her feet, unfolded a light smile, and moved to the woman in purple.

It seems that what the fourth lady said is true, it turns out that the little sister only has so many copper plates on her body in this tight place. Saying that, with pity in his eyes, he put the copper plate in his hand on her hand and said: "If you have time, go to the pear courtyard to sit, I still have a few boxes of copper plates there, although it is not much, it is better to help you, everyone sisters, don't be polite to me." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, not wanting to entangle with these people any more.

"You...... You actually look down on me!" Being looked down upon, the woman in purple immediately took out a few pieces of silver from her purse, and said angrily: "Do you think we are all the same as you, I have money!"

"Ahh Funny looking at the woman in purple for a day, she couldn't help but smile and reached out to take it, and she didn't know how she moved, the silver ingots immediately received it in her hand, only to see her smile and bend her eyes and say, "Thank you, little sister!" and then put the seven or eight taels of ingots into the purse.

The woman in purple was stupid! Looking at her empty hand, she didn't understand what was going on for a while, when did she tell her?

"Don't make a fuss. Seeing that the woman in purple had suffered a loss, the eldest young master's face sank at the moment, and he said indifferently: "Don't waste everyone's time for these irrelevant things, report to Mr. quickly after handling your own affairs, and disperse." At that moment, the woman in purple glared at Hua Jiangyue fiercely, and turned to leave.

Hearing this, everyone tacitly smiled and laughed at each other, and the fourth lady also felt that she had lost her identity by worrying about her, and she no longer paid attention to her.

"By the way, don't forget the equestrian competition on the outskirts of the city tomorrow, don't be late. Just when Tang Min was about to leave with his mother, he suddenly remembered this incident and immediately admonished.

"Okay!" echoed neither high nor low, making Tang Min smile with satisfaction. Then when he saw Hua Qianyue who was about to leave, his eyes rolled and he raised his voice: "Hua Qianyue, let's go to the equestrian competition together tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words fell, the few people who had already walked away instantly turned their attention to Hua Jiangyue, looking like they were watching a good show. Everyone knows that Hua Jiangyue is not as good as a maid in the house because of her concubine and her mother's affairs. Several of them have been practicing martial arts, riding and so on with their masters since they were children. But because her father once said that she was not allowed to practice martial arts and practice qi, in the house, everyone knew that she was useless at all, not to mention riding a horse, and even fighting with the youngest brother, it was estimated that she would end in a fiasco.

Tang Min walked up to her in a few steps and smiled maliciously: "How is it?, do you dare to go horseback riding with us?"

Hua Jiangyue was originally angry in her heart, although she defrauded some silver taels today, but Jade was beaten, bullied by her brothers and sisters, how could this anger not be counted. Since you sent it to the door, don't blame yourself for being unkind!

At that moment, Hua Jiangyue ignored Tang Ming, who was smiling evilly, and said lightly: "Okay." The words no longer paid attention to everyone, and pulled Jade to leave directly.

Looking at Hua Jiangyue's thin back, Tang Min stomped his feet and said hatefully: "Tomorrow I will see how arrogant you are!"

"Don't be angry, let her be happy for a day first, everyone knows that this girl can't ride a horse, and she will ...... tomorrow Hehe, let's give her a big gift, see if she won't be so arrogant tomorrow!" The fourth lady comforted her daughter, and she already had a good idea in her heart, and she would let her know the fate of offending them tomorrow.

It was already some distance away from the courtyard of the fourth lady, but Tang Min's words clearly floated into their ears. pursed his lips, and secretly compared a middle finger in his heart: Fight with me, you are still tender!

The next day, it is the annual Beijing horse riding competition, this competition in the capital is very lively, not only here are the young masters and young ladies of the major families to participate, and even sometimes some nobles of the palace also come back to participate. Horse racing not only represents the strength of the younger generation, but also represents the honor of the major mansions and the comparison between dignitaries.

This year's horse riding competition was held by the Tang family, and the lord of the Tang family was the invincible veteran general and the younger brother of the current emperor, Tang Jun. This person has always been good at martial arts and riding skills, even in the deep capital, he is also the leader.

Obviously, the background strength of the Tang family, others can only look up to the mountains on weekdays, and now since there is such an opportunity as a horse riding race, all the officials of the mansion naturally hope to use this opportunity to climb the big tree of the Tang family, not to mention that I heard that the Tang family has a peerless young lady, and the sons and daughters are even more inflammatory.

Tang Wei appeared in the arena surrounded by all his children. Although he is over the age of six, his temples are only a little white, his forehead is slightly wrinkled, and his waist is still as straight as ever, which may be related to his perennial martial arts.

Seeing Tang Tao appear, all the officials who had been waiting in the arena for a long time bowed their heads and shouted, "General Tang". You must know that Tang Wei has been recuperating at home for nearly a year, and he has not sent troops to fight for a year, but his record is still unbeatable until now, and he has to be admired.

"Today is a beautiful day for horseback riding. Tang Wei looked up at the sky slightly, said with satisfaction, and then fell on the young man in front of him, "Are you all ready? Don't embarrass me, don't give up the laurel to the young lady and young master of another family." ”

Tang Wei has always been strict with his children, one is to better educate them, and the other is also for his own face, the face of the Tang royal family.

The rows of children standing neatly behind Tang Wei were full of confidence on their faces, and it seemed that the crown of this horse riding competition was still inevitable.

"Big brother, although you were the first last year, but feng shui takes turns, maybe it will be my turn this year, you have to be careful!" The one who spoke was the daughter of the fourth lady who was dressed in red yesterday, and Tang Min, the fourth lady of the Tang family. The eldest brother she respects the most is yesterday's man in black, Tang Feng, the eldest young master of the Tang family.

Tang Feng looked disdainful, didn't look at Tang Min, stared at the arena with his eyes, and said: "You little girl, don't talk too early, no matter how you say it, I was born a few years earlier than you, I have practiced horseback riding for more years than you, and my natural riding skills are better than yours, if you want to win me, wait a few more years!"

Tang Min's personality is very similar to Tang Wei, to be strong, he never feels that being a woman will definitely be worse than a man, "Then you just wait." ”

Tang Wei listened to the conversation between his children and smiled with relief. His Tang Tang's children must have such a fighting spirit, even if it is their own relatives, they must spell out a high and low.

All the young masters and young ladies who participated in the competition took off their brocade and satin today, changed into neat riding clothes, and each of them stood in line with confidence.

The game started after Tang Wei beat the gong and drum, just when Tang Wei walked to the gong and drum, and was just about to knock it down, suddenly, an uninvited guest appeared on the field.
