Chapter 91: Murong Xuan

On December 27th, Yang Miao got up early in the morning and was practicing swordsmanship, and now it was no longer with Yang San and them, but directly with Ai Tai to learn swordsmanship, with Yang Miao's growth, Yang Miao could not lose within thirty rounds under Ai Tai's sword.

After that, practicing archery is regarded as exercising every day, and you may not need it, but if you do, it will be used to save your life.

Yang Miao was eating breakfast, and the next person came to report, "There is a person who claims to be the senior brother of Gongzi outside, named Shan Zhengmin, to meet him." ”

Although Yang Miao's main entrance has been open for a few days, except for the people from the Che Ma Gang and Mi Xing, no one else has ever visited.

Yang Miao put down her chopsticks and took her subordinates to the door, and saw Shan Zhengmin pacing at the door with two subordinates.

Yang Miao shouted from afar: "Senior Brother Shan, what kind of wind blew you here, please come in." ”

Shan Zhengmin saw Yang Miao so enthusiastic, so he quipped: "I heard that the teacher said that you live here in Jingbei Courtyard, so come and see, this place turned out to be a royal place, and it was given to the teacher by the lord of the country, and the teacher is really good to you." ”

Yang Miao pulled Shan Zhengmin inside, "Senior brother, have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, we just happen to eat together." ”

"I ate a little, but I'm not completely full, you and I'll see if there's anything different, if there's any, I'll eat a little more." Shan Zhengmin said with a smile.

When the two arrived at the dining hall, Shan Zhengmin saw the big table inside and knew that it was Yang Miao's place to eat, so he looked at the table, and there were really two things that he hadn't eaten.

The two of them had breakfast together.

Shan Zhengmin said: "It's almost the New Year, there is a horse race in the east, it's very lively, I'll take you to see it." ”

Yang Miao said: "Yes, I happen to be fine today." ”

After the two had breakfast, they took the carriage to the east of the city. After a lively commercial block, the branches of the Chema Gang and Sanshui Rice Store were nearby, and Yang Miao had some impressions. After that, there were fewer people on the road, and after walking for a while, there were significantly more cars and horses in front of them.

"Get out of the car, we're here. Shan Zhengmin took Yang Miao inside, there was a guard at the door, and when he saw that it was Shan Zhengmin, he let him go directly.

"Let's first go and meet the owner of this racecourse, who is also the princess of our Great Ambition Country. Shan Zhengmin looked at Yang Miao and said with a smile, "It's the sister of the lord of the country." ”

Yang Miao said: "I guess she is also the sister of the lord, if she is the daughter of the lord, it should not be big." ”

Shan Zhengmin traveled along the way, met many acquaintances, and had to say hello from time to time. After that, the two went up to the center of the stands, and in the middle sat a dignified woman, who was in her thirties.

Shan Zhengmin used to bow down: "Zhengmin greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

When the woman heard this, she looked over and said, "Jeongmin, come and sit." ”

Shan Zhengmin said: "Your Highness, I brought a junior brother over today, he hasn't been in Youcheng for long, let's come over and have a look." ”

Yang Miao stepped forward, bowed and said, "Yang Miao greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The princess looked at Yang Miao and said gently: "You are Zhengmin's junior brother, so you don't have to be polite, you can sit down." ”

Yang Miao said, "Your Highness Xie." ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess and Shan Zhengmin whispered some homely words, and Yang Miao turned her head to look at the racecourse.

The racecourse is oval, the two long sides of the elliptical are straight lines, the whole racecourse is very large, if one horse is at the other end, the naked eye can not see the appearance of the horse.

Shan Zhengmin stood up and said, "Yang Miao, I'll take you for a walk." ”

Yang Miao bowed to the princess and followed Shan Zhengmin.

"What's the matter, this place is usually a place where the children of the noble and dignitary families come," Shan Zhengmin said: "Only members here can come in, and a member can only bring one person at most, so I will bring you here." ”

Yang Miao smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your love." ”

"Senior Brother Shan, this princess's estate is very large, although this land is in the suburbs. ”

"Haha", Shan Zhengmin laughed, "Let me tell you, this horse farm belongs to the lord of Dazhi and is just handed over to his sister Princess Murong Xuan to take care of, and there is no need to keep it profitable, but it must be fair." ”

"Oh, that's the case," Yang Miao thought about it and said, "That ability is also very strong, and it is definitely not easy to manage the children of the Shi family in such a big place." ”

"Of course, it's not just the children of the Shi family who often come here, but the princes of Dazhiguo, and it's strange that these sons don't see it today. Shan Zhengmin said.

Yang Miao said: "They received a post from the teacher yesterday, and they should have discussed it with someone today." I won't be back tomorrow. ”

"Oh, I see. Shan Zhengmin continued the previous topic and said.

The horse racing venue is large, with a competition field, a training ground, a grandstand, a rest field, as well as stables, and accommodation areas for training personnel.

There are 30 horses between the ages of three and 12 in the racecourse. All members can also race with their own horses, which are inspected by the farm's trainer before they can be entered.

Horse races are held twice a month, on the afternoon of the 15th and 16th of the month, and on the afternoon of the 30th and 1st of the month. Only at the end of each year there will be a special three days, December 27, 28 and 29, respectively, and the last day everyone will go home for the New Year. If there are no single races, there are three to five races per day, and each race is ten horses.

Based on experience, the trainer and the examiner will select ten horses with similar abilities to race, and only then can the spectators bet well. As for the rider, it can be a horse trainer or the owner himself.

The person who bets can be a member or a person brought in by a member, and the person who guesses the first place shares 50% of the total bet, and the second person who guesses the second place shares 30% of the total bet. All other positions are forfeited bets.

The remaining 20% is used for the construction of the racecourse and the expenses for the maintenance of the racecourse, and the accounts are open to all members. Of course, everyone still has absolute trust in Princess Xuan's character, because Princess Xuan has always been single, and there is no point in having more money.

Shan Zhengmin took Yang Miao around for a while, although the sons did not come, there were still many people in the racecourse.

Shan Zhengmin pointed to the west and said, "Those are the children of the official eunuchs. ”

Pointing to the east, he said, "Those young masters and young ladies from rich families." ”

"The members with status are all in the stands on the north side, and the stands are also divided into twenty compartments, the middle one is Princess Xuan's, and the other compartments are also set. ”

Yang Miao asked, "Does Senior Brother have a compartment in the stands?"

Shan Zhengmin said with a smile, "There used to be, but then the family life was not as comfortable as before, so it was returned." ”

"Does this still cost money?" Yang Miao asked.

Shan Zhengmin said: "Members need 100 taels of silver a year, and the stands need another 1,000 taels of silver a year. ”

Yang Miao suddenly asked, "Then where are we going now, senior brother." ”

Shan Zhengmin said: "Although I don't have a stand, it's okay to find a place to sit down, let's go back and see the princess." ”

Shan Zhengmin walked a few steps, saw that Yang Miao did not follow, and looked back, Yang Miao was staring at the stands in the east, Shan Zhengmin looked at his eyes, and said: "That's Nan Jiang Yunyun, the daughter of businessman Jiang Zhengde, and the one who separates the two on the left is his brother Jiang Yongwang." ”

Yang Miao saw a girl she liked for the first time, especially when she smiled like a spring breeze, she was comfortable and warm. Hearing Shan Zhengmin's words, he was reincarnated and left, and added: "I just feel that I look good when I laugh." ”

Shan Zhengmin saw Yang Miao walking fast, chased after him and said, "If you like it, senior brother can help introduce him, his brother has always wanted to know the people on the stage." ”

Yang Miao didn't speak, got into the princess's prince, and sat down. The people around the princess were stunned, why was this person so bold.

Shan Zhengmin saw it, sat down and explained to the princess, saying that he had made his junior brother angry and forgot to meet the princess for a while.
