Chapter 827 Where Did the Rumors Come From?
Horses of various colors were galloping back and forth, and the people on the horses were swinging polo clubs back and forth. The fist-sized polo balls were nowhere to be seen.
Yuan Ge'er on the side was shouting at the top of his lungs to cheer for his father.
Xiaohua was infected and not willing to be outdone, she shouted in a shrill voice.
The two little guys' voices were louder than each other, and by the end their throats were split.
Zhou Guo laughed, this was more interesting than playing polo.
During this period, people kept coming to the shed to say hello to them, some were acquaintances and some were strangers. She chatted with the acquaintances for a while, and just exchanged a few words with the strangers. As more people came, she also reacted.
I looked around and wondered whether I should go to the door and say hello. But after thinking it over, I decided that it would be better to just say hello to the host.
As soon as he thought of it, before he even arrived, Mrs. Yang came with her daughter.
After a few greetings, the adults chatted with each other, and the girls chatted with each other.
The Yang family was the host today, and they had guests in their own shed, so they couldn't stay long. After a few pleasantries, they were ready to leave.
Miss Yang looked at Zhou Guo with her big watery eyes, "Mr. Zhou, are you going to say hello to everyone?"
Zhou Guo said: "Then there's no need. I won't make everyone uncomfortable if I go."
Miss Yang said, "They are all acquaintances, and you have seen some of them before."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I will cheer you on when you leave the court."
It's better not to go. She doesn't deal with them. If anyone wants to say hello, it should be the heads of these families. After all, she still has business dealings with them.
Miss Yang did not force her, she just said a few words and then left.
Zhou Xing couldn't sit still any longer, and said to Wu Ya, "Come on, sister-in-law, let's go say hello."
It’s such a good opportunity, I can’t just sit here, I have to go for a walk.
Wu Ya looked at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to go, go ahead. It's good to meet more people. These are the rich and powerful people in the north. It will be good for Xiaohua to interact with them more in the future."
When Wu Ya heard this, she stood up with her child. As long as it was good for the child, she would do anything. Besides, she knew some of these people and had met them before, so it would be nice to just say hello.
The two of them left with their child, leaving her alone.
She ate some snacks while watching the situation on the field. Needless to say, she found it quite interesting. No wonder wealthy families nowadays love to hold these kinds of activities. It really helps to kill time.
It would be nice if there were singing and dancing to watch someday. The singing and dancing at this time must be very interesting.
She was sitting in the shed, enjoying her time leisurely, but some people couldn't stand it.
I think she is arrogant. "Why is she like this? Why doesn't she go and greet the elders? She is a junior after all. Doesn't she know this little bit of etiquette?"
"Oh, don't you think about what she does? She's a refugee, a country bumpkin, used to being barbaric. How could she know the rules of people like us? Why don't we embarrass her?"
Zhou Guo was so leisurely that she didn't know someone was trying to play a trick on her. She was enjoying the snacks. After all, there were so few entertainments in this era and such an opportunity was rare. She thought that if there was such a banquet next time, she would come.
Of course it would be even better if there was singing and dancing.
After a polo game, the field was filled with cheers and everyone left the field in high spirits.
After a while, the second half began.
This battle is fought by children. The so-called children refer to those who are twelve or thirteen years old and above and have not yet married. Both boys and girls are fighting together.
A team of ten people.
Zhou Guole watched with a laugh, thinking that young people should be more attractive than adults, and the noise they made was very lively.
Just as she was enjoying the moment, several people came together under the watchful eyes of the crowd, bowed to her, and said in a clear voice: "I have heard that the young master of the Zhou family is both civil and military, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is unmatched in polo. The young master of the Zheng family from the second team just happened to have injured his leg, and there is no one else suitable except the young master of the Zhou family. Would the young master of the Zhou family be willing to take his place?"
The sound was so loud that I was afraid that no one in the audience could hear it, and I wanted to use a loudspeaker to shout.
The words were somewhat sarcastic, especially the words "Mr. Zhou", which sounded quite weird.
Zhou Guo waited for him to finish, then smiled and said, "Who told you that?"
The other party was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this. After a while, he said, "Who else do you need to listen to? Nowadays, everyone praises Mr. Zhou for his talent in both literature and martial arts. Mr. Zhou can't let so many people go home disappointed, right?"
This is somewhat forced.
She looked at these people carefully and asked with a smile, "Which family are you from?"
The other party said proudly: "I am from the Wang family, this one is from the Liu family, and this one is from the Wu family."
Zhou Guo understood. No wonder his nostrils seemed to be raised to the sky when he spoke. It turned out that he was from the Wang family. The Wang family was truly amazing.
He smiled and said, "I don't know where you heard this gossip from, Mr. Wang. I have never played polo, so your news is false. Next time if you want to know something, you can just ask me directly. You don't need to listen to this nonsense."
Prince Wang's face turned black.
Little did they know that the heads of the Liu and Wu families had even greener faces, secretly hating the Wang family's children for looking for trouble. If they wanted to cause trouble, then they would cause trouble. But taking their children with them was no big deal. His Wang family could afford to cause trouble, but they couldn't.
The Wang family did not stop it. Although Zhou Guo was the general's child, she had been raised outside for so many years and might even be a concubine's daughter who could not be seen in public. It was still unclear whether the general would recognize her or not.
Some people were annoyed at the fact that so many people were praising Zhou Guo, and they were even more dissatisfied with Zhou Guo's arrogance. He was so arrogant at such a young age.
There are still many people who are secretly watching the joke.
The skill of polo, like calligraphy, requires years of practice, not to mention horsemanship. Without good horsemanship, most people would not dare to go on the field and would be easily thrown off.
Zhou Mai frowned and asked, "What's wrong with these people?"
Zhou Mi said: "What else could it be? You're here to pick a fight. How about I take over?"
The old man stopped her and said, "People look down on you, so it's useless for you to go. Didn't you hear that they specifically asked her to go?"
The old man was worried, "Can she do it? Has she ever played polo?"
Zhou Su said, "If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Losing is not a shameful thing. Shouldn't we let people lose? Just now, so many of them lost and it didn't seem to be a problem. They didn't wipe their necks in shame."
Everyone is quiet.
The old man smiled and said, "That's right, if we lose, then we lose. What's the big deal?"
Here, Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I have never played polo, so I don't know the rules, and I don't know if there is any particular rule for winning or losing."
The young master of the Wang family sneered and took out a jade pendant from his waist. "This is what my father found for me on my tenth birthday. If we lose, the jade pendant will belong to you."
