"Father and mother, are you going?"

"We won't join in the fun when young people win."

The polo field is very large, but the pavilion for watching the game is limited, in order to allow more ladies to have the opportunity to show their faces, many officials and wives have tacitly chosen to stay at home.

After the meal, Li Yao went out with his younger siblings.

The brothers rode horses, and Yunzhu rode in the carriage by himself.

The farther you go west of the city, the more cars and horses you encounter on the road, and when you reach the street where the polo field is located, the carriages are blocked.

Yunzhu peeked through the window, observed for a while, and found that there was a circle of men and women wearing silk at the gate of the polo field to welcome guests.

Li Yao snorted: "I'll go and urge." ”

Yunzhu stopped his brother: "Forget it, why offend people." ”

The reputation of the family in the past six months has not been very good, and my brother's temper has been roaring in the past, which has ruined the interest of others, which is a waste of resentment.

Of course, Yunzhu didn't want to wait, so he left the carriage and motioned to his brother to get closer: "I'll take your horse, let's go first." ”

The alley is quite wide, and the traffic is jammed, but the sides can accommodate people and horses.

The daughter of the military attaché's family didn't mind showing her face very much, and Li Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with her sister acting like this, so she agreed without thinking.

Li Xian was worried that his sister would fall, so he dismounted and stood in the gap between his brother's horse and the body, ready to answer.

Yunzhu was about to laugh at her brother's worries, when she caught a glimpse of someone approaching on horseback behind her, she tilted her head casually, and was suddenly shocked.

It turned out to be Cao Xun and Cao Shao, Cao Xun was the eldest brother, and he was in front of the horse.

Naturally, the two brothers also saw Yunzhu.

The spring is bright and bright, Yunzhu is dressed very delicately today, with two double-petaled begonia flowers on the black bun, and the begonia pink skirt flutters slightly with the breeze.

In this alley, which is filled with heavy wood-colored carriages, the appearance of cloud beads is like a pink begonia sticking out of the courtyard wall.

Cao Xun's gaze fell on the girl's skirt first, and then moved up.

It was at this time that Yunzhu recognized him.

Many ladies will blush shy when they see a dignified foreign man, but only a touch of surprise flashed in Yun Zhu's eyes, she first looked at Cao Xun's facial features openly, and then glanced at Cao Shao with a complicated expression behind Cao Xun, and then ignored the two, holding his brother's shoulder with one hand, supporting his brother's outstretched hand with the other, and sitting sideways on a saddle vacated by his brother.

Sitting, in order to maintain balance, she leaned on her brother affectionately and wrapped her hands around his waist.

This kind of behavior will be reprimanded by their parents if they are placed on the ladies in the civil officials' families.

Yunzhu just shook her feet under the hem of her skirt slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, my brother can go." ”

Li Yao bowed his head, rode forward, and walked slowly.

Yunzhu's sitting posture made her either look to the opposite side or look back, and the opposite side was all carriages from other mansions, so it was more comfortable to look behind.

Immediately followed by Li Yaoma was Li Xian, and then Cao Xun.

Li Xian was just fourteen years old, he was very tall, but his body was thin and had yet to grow up, which caused him to be unable to completely block Cao Xun's figure.

Yunzhu unabashedly admired the posture of his great uncle, and saw his hand holding the reins and stepping on the long legs of the stirrup from his eyebrows, and then looked up in turn.

She sat in a casual position, her gaze looking at an object that piqued her interest.

After being watched like this a few times by her, Cao Xun smiled.

This is his clear response to her, like an elder tolerating a junior's faux pas.

Yunzhu turned his head as if he was distracted by his smile.

Li Xian only thought that his sister was "disgusted" with Cao Shao's eyebrows, and he never looked back except for nodding to Cao Xun just now.

Not long after, the group came to the front of the convoy.

The horse's back is very high, and Yunzhu's direct jump will affect the viewing of the action, so she sat on the horse's back and did not move.

Li Yao asked his sister to hold the saddle steady, he raised his legs from the front, jumped to the ground, and easily hugged his sister down. Yunzhu is the height that stands out from the crowd in the girl's show, and she is held in the arms of her burly and majestic brother, but she looks slender and petite.

"Lord Shizi, Grandpa Guo!"

Ma Gonggong, who was in charge, came to receive the two distinguished guests with a courteous attitude.

In fact, according to the current limelight of the Ningguo Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion, Ma Gonggong has to hold Cao Xun even more, but Li Yao looks too bluffing, and Ma Gonggong is afraid that he will be beaten if he offends Li Yao, so he doesn't dare to show the slightest slack.

Li Yao nodded, turned to Cao Xun and said, "The alley is narrow, and it is not easy to salute, so I hope that Grandpa Guo will forgive me." ”

Cao Xun: "The prince is polite. ”

He glanced at Yunzhu and Li Xian.

Li Yao really didn't know him, and introduced: "This is the sister-in-law Yunzhu, the brother-in-law Li Xian." ”

Li Xian clenched his fists and bowed: "I've seen Grandpa Guo." ”

Yunzhu gave a shallow blessing.

Cao Xun said with a smile: "When I left Beijing, your brothers and sisters were still children, and Brother Xian'er had not yet been born, and they were all so old in a blink of an eye. ”

Li Yao suspected that Cao Xun wanted to hear them call him uncle, but he couldn't, and Cao Shao's kid was standing behind.

He said casually: "Yes, the years are urging people to grow old, and now that Grandpa Guo has become famous, let's hurry up and start a family." ”

Yun Zhu was amused by her brother and looked up at Cao Xun: "My brother is stupid, don't worry about him." ”

A conceited and beautiful girl, every man has a sense of arrogance, and there is no timidity at all.

Cao Xun naturally looked back at her and said, "It's okay, compared to you, I'm really old." ”

Yun Zhu looked at his face again, but the slightly rude eyes conveyed "disapproval", which can be regarded as a compliment.

Cao Shao stood next to his brother, barely taking his eyes off Yun Zhu's face, watching her ignore him as if she had never known him, and then seeing that she had no respect for her eldest brother.

After separating from the Li family brothers and sisters, Cao Shao said to his brother ashamedly: "Big brother, Yunzhu didn't mean to be rude to you, she was angry with you because of me." ”

Cao Xun: "yes, I didn't even notice that she was angry. ”

Cao Shao: "She admires the generals at the border pass very much, with the military exploits of the eldest brother, if you and I are not brothers, she will definitely respect you very much." ”

Cao Xun smiled: "Those are not important, your fate has been broken, why should I care about how a little girl treats me." ”

When Cao Shao heard this, the sourness in his heart rose again.

.

Cao Xun and Li Yao were going to change clothes to prepare for the game, and Li Xian accompanied his sister to the pavilion to watch the game.

Sun Yurong and Sun Guangfu came early, and stood under the stargazing tower in the middle waiting for them.

Yun Zhu glanced at the Sun family brothers and sisters, and was a little surprised to find that Sun Guangfu was really much thinner than the last time they met, and now he looks like an ordinary fat man.

Sun Guangfu looked at her with a blank look: "Sister Yunzhu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yun Zhu didn't want to talk to him, so he said hello to his younger brother and took Sun Yurong to the stairs on the west side of the Stargazing Tower.

Sun Guangfu also wanted to look at the beauty a few more times, but was pulled away by Li Xian.

Sun Yurong sighed towards Yunzhu: "If you don't marry for a day, my brother will probably not die for a day." ”

She also didn't understand how these men were so confident, like she knew that she was not beautiful enough, so she never thought about a first-class son like Cao Shao.

Yunzhu looked at the corner of the Qingfeng Pavilion facing north, and asked, "You are waiting below, aren't you afraid that the good position will be occupied by others?" ”

The ladies who came to watch the game today are not only limited to the noble family, with Cao Xun here, presumably the ladies of the civil official family are also willing to give up the past Qinggao for him.

Sun Yurong smiled: "You'll know when you go up." ”

Yun Zhu guessed that she must have thought of some bad idea to occupy a place.

When I got to the top, at a glance, the four pavilions on the female guest's side were actually full, and the Qingfeng Pavilion was full of familiar faces from the Xungui family, and the ladies of the high-level civil official family headed by Gu Shoufu's granddaughter Gu Min were mainly concentrated in the Guihe Pavilion next to it.

Sun Yurong pointed to the two handkerchiefs on the main seat of Qingfeng Pavilion, and said proudly: "I put the handkerchief to occupy the seat, and asked the maid to watch from the side, how could Gu Min, who is such a courteous lady, give up her face to rob me." ”

Yunzhu: "...... Are you turning the corner and admitting that you have thick skin? ”

Sun Yurong: "My thickness, yours' thickness, let's half a catty." ”

Yunzhu didn't argue with her, and chose the main seat on the left to sit down.

Sun Yurong sat down next to her, looked at the Guihe Pavilion for a moment, and snorted: "Xie Wenying is obviously a girl from the Jiangmen family, so if she doesn't play with us, she has to go to Gu Min." ”

Yunzhu: "Whether you can be a sister depends on your temperament, not on your family." ”

Sun Yurong: "Marquis Changxing and Duke Dingguo are friends of life and death on the battlefield, you say, will Marquis Changxing match his daughter with Duke Dingguo?" ”

Yun Zhu's heart moved slightly, and then she looked at Xie Wenying in the pavilion next door.

Xie Wenying is seventeen years old this year, and these old and prosperous Marquis Xie Zhen have made meritorious contributions one after another at the border pass, and there is an endless stream of people who go to the Hou Mansion to propose to Xie Wenying, but the Xie family has not decided who will be for a long time.

However, with Xie Wenying's family background and beauty, it is normal to have high vision.

Xie Wenying also looked at Yunzhu if he realized it.

Yun Zhu retracted his gaze in advance, secretly thinking about the possibility of Cao Xun agreeing to the marriage if the Marquis of Changxing really had this intention.

In the Guihe Pavilion, a lady whispered about Yunzhu: "She has repented of her marriage, why is she embarrassed to go out?" ”

"You forgot, her brother Li Yao is also going to compete today."

"I heard that Uncle Xiaoguo will also play, she may not have put it down yet."

Gu Min heard some voices and frowned at the two of them.

She is notoriously gentle and dignified, and she never talks about people, and the two ladies who spoke were afraid of attracting Gu Min's dislike, so she immediately stopped talking.

The competition is also about to begin.

Li Yao wore red robes for ten people, and Cao Xun for ten people wore black robes.

Horses gallop, at any time there is a danger of colliding and trampling, and it is this danger that makes the spectators tense their heartstrings all the time.

Yun Zhu stood in front of the guardrail with Sun Yurong early and stared at the field closely.

Li Yao is still the way he is used to playing, chasing the ball and not paying much attention to cooperation.

He is brave and brave, and it is enough to win against those rich and noble sons, but his opponent today is the Cao Xun brothers and the eight heroic military attaches who have fought on the battlefield, they are not even afraid of swords and guns, how can they be deterred by Li Yao's momentum?

Yun Zhu gradually tightened the guardrail, watching Cao Xun command Cao Shao and the others, like a pack of wolves isolating his brother into the encirclement.

The ball was in Li Yao's hands, but he lost reinforcements.
