Chapter 46 Urging blind dates
To be honest, Li Hao really didn't expect that the Xue family was not temporary, but really cared about his blind date.
Li Hao had no choice but to reply: "Uncle, I just entered Kaifeng Mansion, and I haven't sorted out the affairs in my hands yet, where is the time to see each other, and there is no suitable person." ”
When Xue Shi heard this, he immediately retorted: "It's natural that official business is important, but when Kaifeng Mansion is free, you haven't looked at each other all the time, and I heard that you release the government on time every day, where is there no time." ”
Then he emphasized: "Don't take this matter to heart, there are not many good people in Bianjing City, you just wait for someone to pick it up sooner or later." Let's just say that the Sheng family who is in the Jinshi with you, not that his family is still close to your family, now that he has discussed kissing, he is still a girl from the Hai family, it is a family with hairpins for generations, and the girl Derong is not bad, and she has a good name. You see that this good girl is missing another family, how can you not be in a hurry. ”
After Li Hao heard this, he thought to himself how normal Sheng Changbai's marriage was, what age he was, he was in his twenties, and whether the proper older young man was good, where he was like this. But thinking about it, he still answered: "Uncle, I'm still young, so I'm not so anxious, and I can always find a suitable one after looking at each other." ”
Xue Shi was naturally dissatisfied when he heard this, and said: "Look slowly, then what you pick is the girl who is picked by others, what can be good." You can't do this attitude, when your mother returns to Bianjing, I must talk to her and change your attitude. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was full of helplessness, and he was really afraid that when Wei heard this, he would have a headache when he was really anxious. So he had to look at Ouyang Xiu for help, but Ouyang Xiu directly picked up the teacup and drank the tea leisurely after seeing it, without looking at Li Hao.
Then Li Hao looked at Ouyang Fa, and saw Ouyang Fa make a helpless and sympathetic expression at Li Hao, obviously he had not suffered from it, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Li Hao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Uncle, there is no need to be like this, I must take this matter to heart, but it's not that there is no good opportunity for the time being." When the right opportunity arises, I will definitely take a serious look. Li Hao thought in his heart that there were not many opportunities for women to go out anyway, and this matter would drag on for a long time, and maybe it would pass.
As a result, I didn't expect to hit the muzzle of the gun, so I heard Xue Shi say: "Then there is a chance now, the polo club run by Mrs. Wu of the Yongchang Earl Mansion that I told you about before will have a game in two days, and then I and Fa Ge'er will go, you will go with us, and then you will have the opportunity to come and see each other." ”
When Li Hao heard this, he only felt that the five thunders were booming, and subconsciously refused: "But when the time comes, I will go to the government, and there is really no time to pass, or next time." ”
After hearing this, Xue said: "This is a problem, after all, it is not good to be absent from work without reason. Then he looked at Ouyang Xiu and said, "Then your uncle will help you and what you should do." ”
Li Hao looked at Ouyang Xiu pitifully, so under Li Hao's gaze, Ouyang Xiu opened his mouth and said: "It's really not good to be absent from work without reason, and besides, Li Hao is not good at acting in violation of regulations after all. ”
"But Kaifeng Mansion itself has the responsibility of supervising public security and road maintenance in Bianjing, if you want to say that Li Hao should also participate in this matter, you will take people to this road that day to see, if there is anything that needs to be repaired, by the way, go to the polo field to supervise it to see if there is any danger."
Originally, when he listened to the first half of the sentence, Li Hao was quite happy, but when the second half of the sentence came out, Li Hao's heart cracked in half.
Then I saw Xue Shi answer: "Yes, then you can go to the polo club to have a look." At that time, there will be many people from the lord's family and the eunuch's family, so you can go over and see if there is anything pleasing to the eye anyway, and you can talk about the specific things later. ”
Li Hao originally wanted to shirk it, but after hearing this sentence, his heart moved, and he remembered that if he calculated according to time, then this polo meeting was very likely to be the one where Minglan helped Yu Yanran play.
Thinking about it this way, Li Hao felt that he could go and see it, after all, when he watched this drama at that time, he asked Qi Heng again and again on the polo field regardless of Minglan reputation. There is also a completely disregard for the Minglan Festival, and the matter of trespassing on the Sanqingguan is extremely disgusting. He Qi Heng lost his handkerchief and had to look for it to maintain his reputation with great fanfare, but when he arrived at Minglan he completely ignored it, so Li Hao felt that it was better to stop this matter if he could stop it.
Then he said, "Well, then let me listen to my uncle, and then I will go with you and your uncle and brother." ”
Xue Shi was very happy when he heard this, and said: "That's right, then we will wait for you outside the West Water Gate, and you will come over quickly after ordering Mao at the Yamen." ”
Li Hao nodded yes, and after seeing Li Hao's agreement, Xue pulled Li Hao and talked about the people who might go that day, and which people had school-age women in them. only made Li Hao's scalp numb, and he quickly said goodbye when he found a gap, and he didn't even dare to use it for dinner in Ouyang Mansion.
On the second day, Li Hao went to the government normally, continued to live a step-by-step life, and continued to drum up his account books and organize the great business if he had nothing to do, and if there was anything, he would arrange for Cao to deal with it as usual.
However, in the middle, Li Hao thought of something from the polo field, so he invited Cao Shicao over and asked about the polo field.
Li Hao asked: "Cao Shicao, there is a polo field by Jinming Pond, do you know?" ”
After hearing this, Cao Shicao asked, "Why did the adults ask about this?" ”
Li Hao explained: "It's nothing, but I heard that there are often polo clubs held by noble families over there, so I was just curious to ask." ”
After hearing this, Cao Shicao replied: "That's right, there are indeed often polo parties held by the lord's family, one is to play for fun, and the other is for young men and women from the eunuch family to look at each other, so there are often activities that are very lively." ”
After hearing this, Li Hao went straight to the point and asked, "Then which noble family belongs to that land?" ”
After hearing this, Cao Shicao replied: "That's really not, if that piece of land is to be discussed, it should be regarded as my Kaifeng Mansion." That was a long time ago, when His Majesty was just about to ascend the throne, in order to hold a celebration ceremony, Kaifeng Mansion specially arranged for people to level the land, and it has not been used since then. However, a good piece of land that was leveled at that time was later borrowed, so it is slowly used by the noble family today. ”
After Li Hao heard this, he nodded in contemplation, and then said with a smile: "Cao Shicao is really conscientious in his duties, and he can know things for so long, which is really amazing." ”
Cao Shicao looked at it and said: "This is the duty of the lower officials, and they should not be praised by adults." But when the adult suddenly asked about it, was there something wrong there? ”
Li Hao listened and said: "No, no, it's just because I made an appointment with a friend and wanted to go to the polo club over there to have a look, and I suddenly remembered, so I was curious to ask, there is nothing to do." ”
After hearing this, Cao Shicao said: "Then since it's okay, then the lower official will retire first." ”
Li Hao said yes, and then got up and sent Cao Shicao out of the right hall. Then, after sitting back, I began to wonder if the flash of the spirit just now was really feasible. If you can, maybe you can increase the tax revenue of Kaifeng Prefecture, which can be regarded as adding some merit for yourself.
But time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the polo club.
Li Hao still arrived at the mansion on time that day, and then went out to get into the carriage, and took Fu Deng to Xishuimen to meet the Xue family.
When Li Hao arrived, the Xue family had been waiting for a while, and they saw Ouyang Fa sitting in a tea shop outside the Shuixi Gate drinking tea.
When Li Hao saw it, he let the car stop and walked over, Ouyang Fa also got up to greet him, and said, "You have arrived, then we can prepare to go, my mother is waiting in the carriage." ”
So after Li Hao followed Ouyang to greet him, he got into the carriage and went to the polo field.
