Zhao Liulang on the side said: "Don't think about it, I know why, because you are rich. Those spices, gems and jade that your niece recently sold in the capital, who doesn't know that you brought them back from the Western Regions?"
Bai Shandao: "Didn't you also take one?"
Zhao Liulang asked: "How much do I have? And the only thing I can sell out is a little bit of spice."
Man Bao: "Hey, with the money you gave us, we bought a lot of tourmalines and crystals for you, as well as spices and pearls."
Zhao Liulang sighed, "Don't mention it. I just took it home and secretly gave some to my wife and mother. The next day, my sisters-in-law all knew about it and they all spoke up. I didn't want to give it to them. In the end, even the pearls
My daughter-in-law kept them all because she wanted to make beaded flowers for my daughter."
Zhao Liulang stretched out two fingers and said: "My daughter is only two years old, and her hair is only so long. Let alone wearing beads, she can't even tie it up!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
But even if he could only sell a little spice, Zhao Liulang quickly recovered his capital and saved a sum of money for his private life. He had only been so generous recently. Although he might have lost twenty taels of silver now, he only felt distressed for a moment.
He waved his hand generously and said, "Forget it, it's useless to worry. Will you come with me to play there? Many of our classmates are there. It's a pity that Feng Zongping and the others won't come, otherwise they would all be together."
Man Bao declined and said, "We want to take them to horse racing."
Zhao Liulang was speechless, "It's really a comparison."
Man Bao nodded, "Of course."
Zhao Liulang took a look at their ten maids. All of them were good-looking. Although they were not stunning, they were pretty good-looking among the ranks of maids. The most important thing was that they all had the characteristics of people from the Western Regions.
Some have high noses, some have deep eyes, and some even have blue eyes, like a pool of water, which makes people forget themselves at first sight.
If these ten people appeared on the field together, they would attract so much attention.
But Manbao didn't plan to let them play together. Instead, ten people signed up in five groups? Only two people played in one game.
There are three types of people who race horses in the arena. One type is those who specialize in horse racing and get money? Even women, there are many people engaged in this industry.
As long as they give money, they can go to the horse racing. The ladies and ladies watching will occasionally place bets on the horses. The money given by the racecourse? The money given by the guests? Occasionally, the ladies and ladies will invite them to go horse racing due to their vindictiveness.
, these are all income.
It's just that such opportunities are rare.
There is also a horse race organized by the guests who come to the racecourse. They find their own people and compete by themselves. Basically, it is a competition between people of the same class. If there are people who are not from their class, they are either bullying others or being bullied.
Bully.
The last one is like Zhou Man who doesn't play in person himself but just lets his subordinates come out to compete.
Don't think it's a boudoir? Many people like to let the maids around them learn riding skills. Coming to the racecourse to compete is one of the ways to verify their riding skills.
This time, a racecourse organized a competition again. Not for the reward? To compete for beauty? To show off their abilities. There were also many people signing up for horse racing.
Some ladies were so interested that they just left the show on their own? However, they could accept competing with common people, but they would not compete with a maid? The racecourse also pays attention to the ranking, so after the talent competition in the last race, Miss Liu was dressed in bright clothes and the horse was angry
When the horse racing came over, Western cakes and Western flowers took their numbers and went up to line up.
Mrs. Liu was originally going to rest in the backcourt. She was startled when she saw someone standing outside the fence. Then she ran up on horseback and shouted: "Fifth brother, it is indeed you!"
Liu Huan was startled when he saw her. He immediately pulled up his sleeves to cover his face and shouted, "You made a mistake. I am the second eldest child in the family."
Miss Liu was so angry that she whipped him with a small whip while riding on her horse, and shouted: "You are ranked second, so where are my brothers and the others? If you dare to deny it, I will tell my grandfather and grandmother when I get back."
After calling her, she felt something was wrong, "That's not right. Aren't you locked in the study room by your grandfather to study and not allowed to go out until the exam? Why did you go to the racecourse to play?"
Man Bao saw that Mrs. Liu's female companions were all looking this way curiously, and some people were even coming over on horseback, so he said to Liu Huan: "Hurry up and admit it, more and more people are coming."
Bai Shan: "You can't hide it unless you can escape."
Bai Erlang and Yin Youye said: "You admit it."
Several friends had already talked about this, and Liu Huan had no choice but to deny it anymore, so he put down his sleeves angrily and said: "Yes, it's me, what can you do?"
Miss Liu:......
Man Bao tried to bribe her with flowers, "Mrs. Liu, how about I give you two peonies? Colorful ones."
Miss Liu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have your peonies bloomed now?"
Man Bao said: "If you want it, I will send someone to send you two flowers tonight. If there are not many, there are still two."
Thinking of the flower branches sold by Zhou Man in the past two years, Miss Liu nodded. If she could put peonies on the Lantern Festival and go out to parade, even if it was not the only one in the capital, it would definitely be a rare one.
So Mrs. Liu glared at Liu Huan and turned around to look for her friends. After a while, she ran back and stood beside Liu Huan to watch the battle together.
Liu Huan looked at her, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go and accompany your friend?"
Miss Liu said: "They don't need me to accompany them. I have to watch you and prevent you from getting into trouble. Otherwise, I will suffer a lot when you go back."
Liu Huan: "...am I the one who caused trouble?"
"You are," Miss Liu glanced at him with disdain and said, "Do you know why there are still so few women willing to marry you even after you have been granted the title of county male?"
Liu Huanxin was pricked, but still asked: "Why?"
"Because you don't have a great future in the eyes of your future parents-in-law."
Liu Huan:……
Miss Liu continued: "Fifth brother, I'm already engaged, but you are older than me, but you haven't engaged yet."
Liu Huandao: "I am the youngest male in our family. My grandmother said that I mature late, so why did I get married two years later?"
Madam Liu glanced at him contemptuously, then hummed twice and turned to look at the people on the racecourse.
Liu Huan was so angry that he couldn't help but turn around and speak ill of her openly to Bai Erlang, "She is very annoying."
Bai Erlang nodded and thought she was annoying.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she was so angry that she exhaled from her nose. She wanted to go to Man Bao to complain, but she saw that she was looking at the field seriously. She opened her mouth and could only turn to the other side to talk to Zhou Liru.
"Isn't it true that my cousin is also very annoying when he plays with you?"
Liu Huan turned around and stared at her, as if he would bite her to death if she dared to say yes. Zhou Liru couldn't help but politely said: "Are you okay?"
Miss Liu automatically explained: "That's just annoying."
Liu Huan stared at the two of them with wide eyes, and Zhou Liru immediately said: "That's what she said, I didn't mean it."
Mrs. Liu turned around and glared at Liu Huan, "You threaten people."
