204. Chapter 204
"Wait a minute!" A cold voice sounded, and I saw Hua Jiangyue coming from a distance in a tight white outfit, with a faint smile on her white jade-like cheeks, and her charming and heroic posture made the people present breathless, and their eyes were attracted by this woman who seemed to fall from the sky.
Tang Wei frowned when he saw the comer. Although Hua Jiangyue was also a child of their family, he didn't treat her very well and arranged for her to live alone in the smallest courtyard. Blame her so-called fairy mother, who actually married him, and still thought about other men, who had adulterous affairs with others, and where did he want his face to be put when he spread it? Sometimes he really wondered if this daughter was his own, if he hadn't watched her grow up since he was a child, and there was still a little family affection, he might have driven Hua Jiangyue out of the Tang Mansion directly.
Hua Jiangyue ignored the surprised eyes of the people present, walked straight to Tang Wei, lowered her head and saluted him respectfully, and said, "Daddy, you said that anyone can participate in the horse riding competition, no matter how good the riding skills are, but they are at their own risk. The daughter is ready, and the daughter wants to participate, and if something happens, the daughter will be responsible for herself. ”
"Nonsense!" Tang Wei looked at Hua Jiangyue, and a nameless anger ignited in his heart, "Who allowed you to come over?"
Tang Jun has never allowed Hua Jiangyue to practice, what is her strength, Tang Jun knows it very well, under this big court, Hua Jiangyue came to participate in the competition, wouldn't it be a loss for the Tang family's face?
Hua Jiangyue raised her head, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, her star-like beautiful eyes flashed with agility, as if she could see what Tang Jun was thinking, and chuckled: "Dad, I won't embarrass you." ”
One sentence said through Tang Xuan's thoughts, Tang Xuan felt that Hua Jiangyue was ignoring herself. Considering that there were so many people present, he couldn't get angry, so he suppressed his anger and scolded in a muffled voice: "If you don't go back, you will leave me in the firewood room tonight!"
Sleep and sleep, and it's not like you haven't stayed. Hua Jiangyue didn't pay attention to the threat to her father at all.
"Daddy is so afraid that I will embarrass you. Why, do you believe in those few so much?" Hua Jiangyue asked rhetorically, with confidence in her tone.
The "several" in Hua Jiangyue's mouth naturally refers to Tang Min and Tang Feng. Looking at the past, Tang Min and Tang Feng all looked at Hua Jiangyue with disgusted eyes, and they all seemed to feel that her appearance had already lost the face of the Tang family, not to mention that she had to participate in a horse riding competition.
Hua Jiangyue didn't care about this, and saw that she couldn't make sense with her father, so she simply didn't say anything and walked directly towards the arena.
Before the game started, everyone on the field was chatting with interest. When Hua Jiangyue walked to the arena, she saw that the Tang brothers and sisters were laughing with a group of peers, holding purses in their hands and not knowing what they were doing.
Seeing Hua Qianyue coming, Tang Min's big eyes trickled, and he pulled Hua Qianyue with bad intentions and said with a smile: "Today's competition, we all bet on who will win, do you want to gamble too?"
Following Tang Min into the crowd, there was silver in front of each name on a small square table, and behind the most silver, Tang Feng's name was written impressively.
Looking at the silver on the table, Hua Jiangyue thought about it, and immediately took out a piece of broken silver from her arms, and said with a smile: "Such a fun thing, how can it be without me." I bet on ......" said, his eyes swept over a few popular candidates on the table, and he said with a pout: "I don't seem to be good at betting on anyone, it's better to ......" The eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and the silver bell-like voice made the people present stunned, only to hear her say crisply: "I bet on myself to win." ”
As he spoke, he put down the silver, took out a blank piece of paper and wrote his name, and walked out of the crowd happily, ignoring the sneers and sarcasm behind him. Tang Min saw her departing back, and immediately dodged away.
The players on the field were already standing in a row with their mounts, and only Hua Jiangyue was at the end of the line, standing there alone.
"What about your horse? Hmph, it can't be that you don't even have a horse. Tang Min happened to be standing beside Hua Qianyue, and when he saw that Hua Qianyue was just standing alone, he couldn't help but laugh.
Ignoring Tang Min's taunts, he just glanced to the side of the arena and saw Jade appear with a horse.
Emerald was obviously touching a horse for the first time, as if she had seen a monster, holding the reins in her hand, but hiding far away, and her body was only shivering.
Tang Min saw Jade bring a horse, and rarely did not trouble her, but turned his head and laughed with the people around him.
Hua Jiangyue took the reins from Jadeite's hand, flipped onto the horse's back neatly, ignored Jade's worried expression, and drove forward to get ready.
The participants in the competition are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and the horses are naturally good horses, and Hua Jiangyue's horses have already lost a lot in terms of appearance. only heard sparse laughter inside and outside the field, but because Hua Jiangyue was Tang Qianyue's daughter, they all restrained themselves a little and didn't dare to laugh too obviously.
Tang Wei saw the horses pulled out by Hua Jiangyue, and he was so angry that he didn't stand firm, and almost fell off the stage, but fortunately, he was supported by a deputy general on the side.
In the Tang Mansion, how could there be such a thin horse in the stable, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be their trick. But Hua Jiangyue believes that the inch is long and the ruler is short, and even the weakest horse will have its advantages.
Tang Wei finally stood on the edge of the gong and drum again, and everyone had already mounted their horses, just waiting for the gong and drum to sound, and galloped out with their mounts.
Hua Jiangyue also got on the horse, although she was a little shorter and a little thinner, but she was still able to ride, and she felt no worse than the tall and strong guys next to her.
The "bang" gong and drum were beaten, and the field was suddenly filled with dust. The sound of whipping and the sound of horses' hooves are all the more inspiring.
Hua Jiangyue was much behind at the beginning, her horse was not fast, and sometimes she would spin in place, and she didn't seem to be very obedient.
"Horse, you are running forward! Hua Jiangyue tried to communicate with her horse.
Seeing that he had fallen a long distance, he was a little anxious, and then glanced at Tang Wei at the top of the stands, and he looked like that, as if he was destined to see her fail.
"Horses, you don't want to be looked down upon, do you? Look at how those people look at you, how they laugh at you, come, run, do it and show them!" Gritting his teeth, Tang Min couldn't let those people look down on him, even if it wasn't for others, he had to fight for himself.
Hua Jiangyue's words seemed to have some kind of special power, and the horse seemed to understand. The horses, which had been spinning in place, slowly calmed down.
Hua Jiangyue hooked the corners of her mouth, regained her confidence, waved the whip in her hand, and pulled it down, and the horse immediately raised its front hooves, as if to be. When Jade saw this scene, her heart rose to her throat, if it goes on like this, isn't Miss going to fall to the ground?
However, Hua Jiangyue did not fall to the ground, but instead controlled her mount well. With a flick of the whip, the horse rushed out like a gale, and soon caught up with the man in front of him.
"Big brother, look!" Tang Min didn't forget to look back at Hua Jiangyue while riding a horse, and saw her getting closer and closer to them, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Tang Feng also saw it, he thought that in the scene just now, Hua Qianyue would fall directly, but he didn't expect her to have such a skill, didn't she never ride a horse? Or ...... Did she secretly practice herself?
The two brothers and sisters of the Tang family have already thrown off the other contestants and taken the lead, for the two of them, the laurel is already inevitable, and there is no need to worry about anything, but, for some reason, the Hua Jiangyue behind them, who has never been looked at by them, makes them faintly feel a sense of threat today.
Hua Jiangyue chased after the large group alone, and she leaned down little by little, clinging to the horse.
Tang Wei couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Hua Jiangyue's action. How can this be done by a man who has never ridden a horse before? This action requires good strength and control, and it is necessary to always know the direction of the wind, and if all aspects are well coordinated, the horse's speed will be doubled or even more.
Not only Tang Xuan, but Tang Min and Tang Feng also glanced at each other in surprise, seeing that Hua Jiangyue had already chased a few, and the sense of threat was getting bigger and bigger.
"I really don't know where that girl secretly learned that she can ride so well!" Tang Min said to Tang Feng while waving his whip.
"Looks like she's going to catch up, be careful. Tang Feng squinted his eyes, at this time he didn't dare to look down on Hua Jiangyue anymore, or she was never as incompetent as he imagined.
Jade saw that her young lady not only did not fall off the horse, but rode much better than she imagined, and seeing that she was about to catch up with the eldest young master, she had no worries in her heart, and ran directly out of the stands to cheer for her young lady.
So far, Hua Jiangyue has had a good life, but she can feel that the horses are very tired, and it seems that they will not be able to make it to the end. looked up at the two people in front of him, and sighed in his heart: Forget it, even if you can't win the championship, it can be regarded as an ugly one or two for Tang Min, but it's a pity that she just made a bet of one or two silver.
Half of the schedule has passed, and it has reached the most critical moment, but the outcome seems to be a foregone conclusion, and the two young ladies and young masters of the Tang family are already far ahead, leaving behind them a lot.
But at this moment, something strange happened, Hua Jiangyue's horse speed gradually slowed down for some reason, and the speed that was originally not up and down with Tang Min and Tang Feng slowly pulled out the distance at this time.
Hua Jiangyue couldn't help frowning, it stands to reason that there would be no such situation at all, although the horse was tired, but such a slow speed did not match the situation at all. At that moment, Hua Jiangyue looked down at the horse, and when she saw it, she was shocked. At this time, the corners of the horse's mouth were oozing white foam, which was a clear sign of poisoning.
