At the sound of the doves, the rain fell for several days, washing the city of Kyoto thoroughly, and at the same time, it also imperceptibly washed the hearts of the people.

In the end, the sky was beautiful, taking away the continuous drizzle, and the warm sun came.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, the green hills stretch endlessly, the Huaishui River flows endlessly, the light red peach blossoms, the red face is intoxicating, the falling flowers are colorful, the verdant fragrant grass stretches for thousands of miles, the spring is splendid, under the scorching sun, the colorful flags marking the Xie family crest dance like dragons and snakes, and in the breeze, the chaffles fly high on the polo field surrounded by silk.

"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”

The heroic young men and the beautiful women who do not let the eyebrows go, dressed in various riding clothes, manipulate the polo sticks in their hands, and chase the galloping balls, their movements are light and skillful, and on the huge grassland, more than a dozen horses race to gallop freely, churning up the grass and soil, and rolling up bursts of dust and smoke.

"Incense sticks burn, red team wins! Get a color head, a box of high-grade South China Sea pearls! One of them shouted with a gong for a break.

"Oops! Grandmother! Look, it's the little uncle who wins! Xie Yihua sat beside Gu Ruosu and said excitedly.

"See, see! This kid is really good at polo~" Gu Ruosu looked at it with a pair of high-end and high-grade "clairvoyance", and said with appreciation.

"Before Yihua went to Beijing, I had already heard that my little uncle was a good player in polo, how many girls in the capital were obsessed with our little uncle, and when I saw it today, Yihua knew that what he said was true~" Yihua looked at the large number of brightly dressed women nearby, all of whom stood on both sides of the polo field and happily stared at Xie Hao'an, who was dressed in fresh clothes, and couldn't help but joke.

"Everyone has a love for beauty, your little uncle is so good-looking, there must be many girls who look at it, if you don't look at beautiful men, it's hard to look at ugly men." Gu Ruosu said as she should be.

Although this is the truth, it is said with such a big grin, but the people below can't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

When Xie Yihua, who was sitting on the side, heard this, he thought about it quite seriously, then nodded and agreed: "Grandmother, you are right, although sages can't judge people by their appearance, but liking beautiful men should be human nature~"

"You little girl is quite bright, when you look back, you can get married, grandmother will tell you a good family, you must have a good character, a good family background, good knowledge, and good appearance." Gu Ruosu said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies of the Xie family changed their faces, and they all envied that this Xie Yihua actually had a big backer like Gu Ruosu, thinking that even if the official position of the fourth child of the Xie family was not high, he could still be matched with a good son-in-law......

The vinegar smell in other people's hearts, Gu Ruosu didn't know it, even if he knew, Gu Ruosu wouldn't care.

People's hearts are long, although Xie Yihua and Gu Ruosu have known each other for a short time, but Xie Yihua is a heart of admiration, and Gu Ruosu is also very dedicated, often come to recite poetry books (send books), embroidery and chat to relieve boredom (accompany to play mahjong together, and also tell her gossip).

In fact, she can see that Xie Yihua is not a girl who likes to have fun, it is just to make her happy, and even sometimes, she even thinks that Xie Yihua is simply coaxing a child.

Most of the girls in this world are limited by the current feudal society, although I have heard that there are also cases of women entering the court as officials in this dynasty, but it is just a drop in the ocean, and it is clearly an unscientific way to send Xie Yihua into the officialdom.

And thank Yihua, this girl is a gentle lady at first glance, and she is not suitable for surviving in the twists and turns of the court.

As an elder now, all she can do is to find a good husband for Xie Yihua, so that she can live a smooth life.

As for the children in the other room, since she became the original owner and inherited the love of the Xie family, she naturally will not treat them lightly, and will do her best.

It's just that at the moment, for Yihua's grandchild, she really can't help but love a lot.

"Grandmother, what are you talking nonsense, Yihua is still young, and I want to live under my grandmother's knees for a few more years, grandmother is not allowed to be disgusted with me." Xie Yihua blushed, and hurriedly took the fan and half-covered his face and said.

"When you really become an old girl, I think your mother is going to come to me to settle accounts, anyway, today is a polo club, but also a blind date, you might as well look around, grandmother is also very willing to be a matchmaker." Gu Ruosu pulled Xie Yihua into his arms and whispered in his ear.

"Grandmother~" Xie Yihua was so ashamed that she broke free from Gu Ruosu's arms.

"Look, the son of that family is born well, like an orchid, and he looks square and elegant." Gu Ruosu smiled, explored the crowd nearby, and finally, pointed to a dignified lady who had just entered the polo field and walked towards her, and the man in the long dress wearing red and white double-blessing koi embroidery at the front said.

"Grandmother, don't point it, people are really here......" Xie Yihua said shyly.

"Calm and calm, we are the host's family, they are guests, they have just come to our house, and they will definitely come and see us." Gu Ruosu said casually.

"That's right...... This is the first family to see us? It should be almost gone, if I come a few more households, my face will be stiff again......" Gu Ruosu said softly to Navy's blue while sorting out the clothes on her body and sitting upright in her position.

"Back to the old lady, we invited more than 100 families today, and the slaves and maids counted, and I think there should be few families."

"That's good...... That's good......" Gu Ruosu nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, this family looks very luxurious, and the pomp is also big, whose daughter is it?"

"Back to the old lady's words, this leading woman is the eldest daughter of the current Shouguang prince, the lord of Nankang, the father of the lord of Nankang, the prince of Shouguang is the younger brother of the first emperor's mother, the prince of Shouguang has been leading the troops with the princess of Shouguang all the year round, so the lord of Nankang has grown up under the knees of the queen mother since he was a child, and he is very favored, and he is married to the eldest son of the prince of Gongguo, Lord Shangqi, and now he is the Siqing of Dali Temple, although the position is not high, but the right is real."

"Then this Nankang County Lord is quite good at giving birth, and he gave birth to three sons in one go."

"Old lady, it's wrong, it's wrong, the lord of Nankang County and Lord Shangqi have been in love for many years, but in the matter of the heir, it is quite unsmooth, and there are six children who have miscarriages and early deaths, and now they only have one son, called Shang Chu, and now they are about the same age as a few little girls from the fourth master's family, you see, it is the pink carved jade with the last firstborn, like a New Year's doll, and the one brought by the nurse."

"And who are the other two? Born very handsome, that orchid-like boy, how can I look a little similar to this Nankang County Lord? ”

"Old lady, you should be talking about the child of the lord of Nankang, that is, the grandson of the prince of Shouguang, the second son of the prince of Shouguang, called Qi Lan, who is not favored at home, with the eldest brother and the younger brother, it is quite difficult to be sandwiched in the middle, but fortunately, the county lord's mother loves this nephew very much, and often stays around, I heard that he is quite talented, and he has a good time with the sixth master of our family!"

"Oh~ That seems to be a little gentleman~"

“……”

"And what about the other one? Looking at the five big and three coarse, raw...... Well...... Quite strong and heroic......"

"That's the elder brother of Lord Shangqi, that is, Shang Ying, the only son of the prince of the Gongguo Mansion, Shang Ying, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the military attache material from the civil official family, has a bold temperament, I heard that he has been engaged to the cousin of the Ye family of his mother's mother's family, and said that he will be married after the year when the Ye girl is out of the mourning period."

“……”

“……”

As soon as the master and servant finished exchanging information, the lord of Nankang County came to Gu Ruosu with someone.

The lord of Nankang County looked like he was only in his early thirties, wearing a moon-colored pearl robe with a good moon pattern of Guigong folding branch flowers, and wearing a brocade and prosperous golden silk blue dark Luo skirt, and a piece of white warm jade tied around the waist with a Baifu line, the Baifu line was long and light, and there was even a pair of colored pearls strung at the tail, which complemented the pair of bright Shu brocade shoes made of Nanzhu on the feet of the lord of Nankang.

The lord of Nankang is gorgeously dressed, and his posture is also quite extraordinary, a pair of autumn wave eyebrows have the softness of autumn water, a pair of tearful eyes make people feel three points of pity, the facial features are delicate and small, and the appearance of the people of Qiushui is like this, the ink hair is like a cloud, the pearl hairpin is green, and the Nankang county lord is more lined with a stunning appearance.

"Nankang has saluted the old lady this time, I wish the old lady a long life and good health."

"Okay, okay, get up, get up." Gu Ruosu looked like a dignified and decent elder and said lovingly.

"The old lady blames, Nankang has something to do, so she came to make amends to the old lady."

"What kind of sin to make amends, you don't need to make amends, who has nothing to do, it's normal, come on, come on, quickly introduce a few children behind you to me and see, look really handsome."

"The old lady is really polite, how can these sons and daughters of my family be as good as the children and grandchildren of the old lady's family?"

"Come, you three come up quickly and salute the old lady."

The three teenagers came forward in turn and asked Gu Ruosu to say goodbye, Gu Ruosu also called out very lovingly, and praised them in turn, but the clear-eyed people could see that Gu Ruosu looked at a bowl of water, but in fact, Gu Ruosu's eyes had been staring at Qi Lan, but this was no wonder Gu Ruosu, that Qi Lan was really good-looking, and even the third daughter-in-law of the Xie family, who was the most pure-hearted and desireless, couldn't help but look at Qi Lan a few more times, and shouted in her heart [Good son, good son, good jade. ］

Qi Lansheng's handsome face is like a beautiful man in the Qingming Riverside picture, which makes people feel the breeze blowing on their faces when they see it, which makes people feel refreshed.

With a white forehead, slender eyebrows, and eyes like stars, it seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making people dare not look directly, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are slightly opened, revealing a gentlemanly and elegant atmosphere.

The lines of his face are as soft as a woman's, but he is not manly, and his chin is sharp and angular, which adds a bit of fortitude to him. The whole face, like a masterpiece made by heaven, is heart-pounding.

His posture is like a towering spruce, and the branches are luxuriant, making people involuntarily want to get closer and feel the powerful vitality.

His skin was as white as jade, and his lines were smooth and powerful, as if a god had descended to the world. His red and white clothes, bright and eye-catching, did not match his temperament, but they added a little vitality to him.

Qi Lan's demeanor and gestures show a good family education, like Zhilan Yushu, which is intoxicating.

Qi Lan's beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in the gentleness and elegance revealed between her behaviors.

His every move seemed to be able to light up the whole world, and people couldn't help but turn their attention to him.

He is like the orchid, not only beautiful, but also exudes a fragrance that makes people fascinated.

"The children of the county lord's family are all dragons and phoenixes, and their behavior is also pleasing to the eye, which shows that the county lord's family is really well-educated." Hai's exit praised.

"Mrs. Hai praised it falsely, my nephews and children have not yet obtained an official position, and they still need to study hard, this time they also admire the Xie family's scholarly family, and I want them to come over for a long time."

"Sitting next to our old lady is Mrs. Hai, your daughter, who gave birth to a delicate symbol, a beautiful style of everyone, which shows that the Xie Mansion has good family rules."

Hai's face was a little embarrassed, and the Song family said with a look of excitement and not a big deal: "The county lord's mother thinks that she has recognized the wrong person, this is the eldest daughter of the fourth master of our Xie family, named Yihua, who has only returned to Beijing not long ago~"

"Xie Jiayihua has seen the county lord's mother, the second master of Qi, and the uncle of Shang." Yihua stood up from Gu Ruosu's side and said with a formal salute.

"Excuse me, excuse me, you look at a clever and virtuous girl, no wonder our old lady puts you by her side, even I am happy to see it."

"Thank you for the praise of the county lord, the little girl deserves this praise, the little girl has today, it is all the teaching of her grandfather and grandmother, as well as your uncles and aunts, parents, parents, and elders."

"Old lady, your granddaughter really knows the rules, and her mouth is sweet."

"My little girl has a sweet mouth, and she loves to coax me the most, but in fact, she is a little skin monkey, so don't dislike it." Gu Ruosu played an official tone.

"Where is it, the children of the Xie family must be very outstanding, the name of the virtuous girl of the Xie family is known throughout Kyoto, but I heard that the old lady you were also screaming a leather monkey before, it can be seen that the old lady you are really too modest."

"By the way, speaking of the eldest girl of the Xie family, when the mother-in-law of our family went home to worship her ancestors and came back, she met the eldest girl of the Xie family and the official to look for gifts, and talked about one or two, the eldest girl of the Xie family missed the old lady and the big lady of the sea, by the way, the eldest girl of the Xie family also specially mentioned that she had a sister, who gave birth to a flower and a moon, and was about to die, I don't know where it is?" The lord of Nankang said meaningfully.

"If the county lord's mother is looking for our family's meaning, you can go to the polo field and take a look, she is teaming up with our sixth master to play polo." Song looked at Hai's face and hurriedly said.

The lord of Nankang County looked in the direction of the polo field, and sure enough, the two red clothes were galloping on the polo field, so happy, the lord of Nankang County retracted his eyes, smiled and said: "It means that the girl is lively and smart, quite a bit like the appearance of our old lady when she was young." ”

"Thank you for the praise of the county lord, my daughter, I used to grow up with her uncle, so it is inevitable to be more affectionate."

"That's the case, it's very good, it's good, the sixth master of the Xie family has the style of a famous man in the previous dynasty, and the girl from the Xie family is also quite talented."

"Puff~ The county lord's mother really doesn't know, our family means, follow my little uncle, I didn't learn anything else, I only learned one body......" Song was about to add oil and vinegar, but was interrupted by Gu Ruosu: "My granddaughter, talent is not counted, but I learned a good hand with my son who is not angry, but there are thousands of ways to write words, and I don't know if the county lord will like it, if you have the opportunity, find this little girl, write a few for the county lord's mother." ”

Hai Shi heard his mother-in-law's words, and his face that was almost like a pig's liver slowly eased, and seeing that the situation was good, he hurriedly exerted his social skills and talked with the lord of Nankang County, and then hurriedly asked Qiao's mother to call the "unscrupulous girl" back.

"Little uncle, little uncle! Give me this jade pendant! Xie Yi pulled Xie Hao'an to win a polo match again, and at this moment, she was wearing a blazing peony embroidered riding suit, with a bright smile on her face, like a little sun.

Xie Yihuan happily climbed off the horse and took the jade pendant in Xie Hao'an's hand.

"Here you go, here you go, really, you are a girl from the master's family, and you still have to play polo to get these things, you see the eyes of your sister-in-law sitting on it, and you are almost going to eat you and me." Xie Hao'an said dotingly.

"Cut~ My mother is a good face, face is worth a few dollars, besides, the polo field is originally a struggle between you and me weak, and it is not an officialdom, who should let whom~ Happiness is the most important, besides, I am not for myself, I am here for Pianran, Pianran's younger brother will have a weak crown ceremony in a while, everything was ready, but Pianran's bastard sister, in order to help people, took the jade pendant that her son and brother used for the crown ceremony, it is really unlucky."

"If I remember everything that is going to be used for the crown ceremony, I have to start preparing for it a few years before the crown ceremony, everything is extremely exquisite, if it is, it can almost be said that there is no suitable substitute at all, and your sister who handed over the handkerchief doesn't even understand this?"

"Humph! What do you know? There are no rules for the little lady to raise. Xie said disdainfully.

"It's okay~ Pian Ran doesn't know where to know about this piece of red jade double blessing jade pendant in the color head prepared by our grandmother, saying that it can be used, but it's just ......"

"It's just that your handkerchief and several of his siblings are not good at riding, right, so I came to you to ask you to think of a way...... You, this kind of thing has to pull your uncle and me, nonsense~" At this point, Xie Haoan said a little helplessly and spoiledly.

"Also, you children are too nonsense, you really think that you can use it as a gift for the crown by winning a piece of precious jade, and it is not the way to go to the doctor in a hurry." Xie Hao'an's tone changed, and he pointed out the meaning of Xie and the "simplicity" of the girl called Pianran.

"Ah...... That uncle...... What should we do......"

Xie Yi also felt that his uncle had some truth, but when he was about to continue the discussion, he saw Qiao's mother next to his mother walking towards them, Xie Yi secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "It's bad, Qiao's mother is here, little uncle, I slipped away first, I'm going to find Pianran!" ”

Before the words were finished, Xie Yi hurriedly ran away with a polo stick, leaving Xie Haoan helpless to stay and clean up the mess for her.

"Mother Qiao, Mother Qiao, where are you in a hurry?" Xie Haoan stopped the person and said.

"The sixth master is fine, the old slave was ordered by the eldest lady to find our girl to go back, and the lord of Nankang County led someone to come, saying that he was going to meet him."

"What do you see, don't you just Qi Erlang and a few of them, I have a very good personal relationship with them, and it's easy to look back and see them, so I'm not in a hurry."

Besides, today is a polo club, mainly playing polo~ It means that this girl is playing polo today, and she can't cause any trouble, you and your sister-in-law are relaxed, come on, Mother Qiao, go with me, let's go. ”

"But...... But...... Sixth master, our wife said...... "Qiao's mother was very unwilling to be pulled away by Xie Hao'an, and she was still muttering in her mouth to pull Xie away.

Xie Hao'an naturally knew the persistence of Qiao's mother, but she still tried her best to be Xie Yi's strong backing, and even coaxed Qiao's mother back, and Qiao's mother saw that it was all signed in front of the nobles, so she naturally didn't dare to flutter anymore, so she had to follow Xie Hao'an back stupidly.
