Chapter 105, The Circle
The stables arrived soon, and all the horses kept in the stable were smooth and smooth, and they looked like good horses.
"Jiulang, Sixth Sister, let's pick a horse." Zhao Xiaogong hurriedly ran to pick a horse.
Shi Fuxin reminded Shi Dinghao: "Don't forget the business."
Shi Dinghao just patted his head, and ran to Young Master Zhao: "Zhao Shenghao, I suddenly think that the winter hunting you mentioned is very interesting. We want to go, can you take us there?"
Young Master Zhao paused: "Take you to winter hunting?" As he spoke, he glared at Shi Dinghao, "Didn't you say you didn't want to go before?"
Shi Dinghao: "I suddenly want to go again."
Young Master Zhao hesitated: "I can't decide this matter, I have to ask my brother."
Shi Dinghao: "Then let's ask now."
Young Master Zhao glanced at his mouth: "My brother is talking to his friends, so he doesn't have time to talk to us. Let's talk about it when we go back."
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Dinghao provocatively.
"Do you dare to compete with me?"
Shi Dinghao gave a 'cut': "Comparison is the comparison, who is afraid of whom." Saying that, he also went to pick a horse.
Soon, the two picked out the horse.
Young Master Zhao saw Shi Fuxin picking out a filly as soon as he turned his head, and laughed immediately: "Sixth Sister, I thought you grew up in the border, and you are very good at riding horses. It seems that I think highly of you."
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Learning horses is just for transportation, and I don't need to seek a career on horseback. Knowing how to ride is enough." Saying that, she rolled over on horseback.
Well, the size and height of this filly are very suitable for her current age, just right.
Shi Fuxin was leisurely riding a filly in the racecourse, and from time to time, galloping horses galloped past her eyes.
Looking at the cement road on the ground, Shi Fuxin felt lucky.
Fortunately, it's not a dirt road, otherwise, she would be full of ashes in this racecourse.
On the other side, the competition between Young Master Zhao and Shi Dinghao has already started. As soon as the two rode on the track, they opened fire and ran wildly all the way.
Unyielding chasing and shouting, flying smiles, not the fastest runner, but chasing each other and running first in the audience, which is very eye-catching.
"Shengming, is that your brother?"
In the stands, Mr. Zhao was drinking hot tea with Fan Feiyu, the eldest grandson of the current Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and Tian Siyuan, the eldest son of Dongsheng Bo.
Master Zhao looked at the two figures on the racetrack who were particularly eye-catching, and smiled helplessly: "It's my silly brother."
Fan Feiyu asked with a smile: "Who is the other kid? That voice is really loud."
"That's Shi Jiulang from Wuchangbo's family."
Master Zhao looked at Shi Dinghao on the racecourse, and his mood was not very calm.
Shi Dinghao's loud voice, although he has experienced it a long time ago, he was still a little surprised this time.
You know, Tengyun Racecourse occupies a lot of land.
In this empty horse farm, everyone is galloping horses, the sound of horseshoes, voices, and various voices gather together. In this case, Shi Dinghao's voice can stand out unexpectedly.
Shi Dinghao must have practiced sonic skills, otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a strong penetrating power.
Sound Wave Kung Fu. This is a kung fu that especially tests the internal strength of the practitioner.
From Shi Dinghao's relaxed appearance riding his horse while roaring, it can be seen that his internal strength is not weak.
Master Zhao's eyes flashed with interest. Now he is really curious about the new four-bedroom family brought back by Shi's family.
He knows very well what the border is like, and he is no stranger to the life of a military household. The life is difficult and the conditions are difficult. Under such circumstances, Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao can still be so good. Simple.
"Wuchang Bo Mansion?!"
Fan Feiyu and Tian Siyuan's faces were filled with confusion, and after a long pause, they remembered that there really seemed to be a Wuchang uncle's mansion in the capital.
It's not that the two of them have poor memories, it's that the Wuchang Bofu has been out of the noble circle for too long.
Tian Siyuan knew something about the Uncle Wuchang Mansion, and looked at Mr. Zhao in puzzlement: "Why do you have contacts with their family?"
Mr. Zhao smiled helplessly: "The reason is because of my stupid younger brother. You have heard the rumors that he helped Dali Temple arrest Jiangyang robbers. The one who really made the move was Shi Jiulang. My younger brother asked someone to settle accounts. If he comes and goes, there will be one." come and go."
Fan Feiyu and Tian Siyuan both showed surprise.
"Kekuro was so powerful at that time, it seems that he is not very old."
Master Zhao shook his head and smiled: "He's not bad, but his brother's skill is even better."
Fan Feiyu and Tian Siyuan were a little surprised by Mr. Zhao's tone: "How powerful is it?"
Master Zhao took a sip of tea: "You can tie with me."
Hearing this, Fan Feiyu and Tian Siyuan were really surprised.
"Really, when did the Wuchang uncle's mansion have such two promising children? Why haven't you heard of it?"
Master Zhao didn't want to gossip about the Shi family's family affairs at first, but in front of him were two good friends, so he talked a little bit about the Shi family's wrong child.
After hearing this, Fan Feiyu and Tian Siyuan were both in disbelief: "How could such a big mistake happen in such a dignified uncle's house?"
Mr. Zhao knew it at the time, and he also found it hard to believe: "It can only be said that it is God's will tricking people. Anyway, now that I have returned to the Shi family to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan, it is good that I have not continued to live outside."
Fan Feiyu sighed: "The good son of the uncle's family is mistakenly hugged to the border military household. This is not just a change of status, but a change of life."
Tian Siyuan also looked sympathetic: "The fourth master of the Shi family is a poor man."
Poor man?
Master Zhao didn't agree very much, he turned his head to look at Shi Dinghao who was galloping in the racecourse, and Shi Fuxin who rode a filly to the stand and sat calmly at the empty table next to them.
Having so many outstanding sons and daughters, the fourth master of the Shi family should be very comforted in his heart.
The last time we met, he didn't see the slightest hostility from him, but he was very peaceful. Thinking about it, the fourth master of the Shi family didn't have so much resentment and self-pity for his life experience.
"Who can tell when misfortune comes and blessings depend on everything until the end."
A few meters away, Shi Fuxin sat alone at a table.
Shi Fuxin was drinking tea while listening to the conversations of the people around her.
Although most people talked about eating, drinking and having fun, there were also a small number of people talking about the court and the royal family.
"I heard that the eldest prince will also participate in this winter hunting."
"Isn't the eldest prince in poor health?"
"That was before, the eldest prince's health has improved in the past two years."
"Miracle doctor Zhan is a miracle doctor from Tianshan Mountain. Before, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital all concluded that the eldest prince would not live to be twenty years old, but now, the eldest prince not only lived past twenty, but also will get married next year."
"Hmph, the medical skills are high, but the temper is a little too big. Every time I want to ask him to see a doctor, I have to brag about it. Please look at his face."
"Is there any way to do this? He is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he has good medical skills. We can only smile for him when we ask him."
"Is the First Princess confirmed?"
"It's decided, it is said that it is the grandniece of Concubine Zhou. After the winter hunting, the Zhou family should receive the imperial edict of marriage."
"The Zhou family has been settled."
"The Zhou family is not bad. Although it doesn't have any real power, it is the uncle's family of King Duan after all. The first prince married a girl from the Zhou family, so he is tied to King Duan."
"King Duan is also a king of leisure, and being tied to him is not a good thing."
"But I think this is better for the eldest prince. After all, the eldest prince has a special status. The eldest son of the Empress Yuan, who is not afraid of the lower princes? Together with King Duan, be a leisurely king in peace and quiet. It's the best."
"Yes, although the First Prince's health has improved, he is not completely recovered. I saw him in the palace a while ago. Although he can walk around, his face has no blood at all. This kind of body is not good enough. Toss."
"The crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince have entered the court one after another. They each have followers and have good word-of-mouth abilities. The frail first prince is no match for the younger brothers."
"It's really a pity for the eldest prince to have his unique status. He is both a descendant and an elder. The best candidate to inherit the great line is weak and sick."
"The mood of the Zhou family is probably not much better now. I haven't seen Zhou Huaiyi go out very much these days."
"Can it get better? It's uncertain whether the Eldest Prince's body can have children. A prince without children, no matter how valuable his status is, it's useless."
"Speak carefully, you can speak nonsense outside."
"Okay, okay, don't say anything, the eyes and ears of the special inspection department and the special investigation department are hidden somewhere, be careful not to talk, let them catch the opportunity and seriously hurt us."
When Shi Fuxin listened to these conversations about the first prince, she had a clearer understanding of the plight of cheap apprentices.
"It's no wonder that he couldn't change his military household registration before. This eldest prince doesn't deserve his name."
Has the poison on the cheap apprentice been cured yet?
When Fuxin was thinking about finding an opportunity to contact cheap apprentices, she heard another group of people talking about it.
"Yunzhong province suffered a snow disaster this year. I thought the emperor would let the prince be in charge of disaster relief. I didn't expect that this job would end up in the hands of the fourth prince."
"Concubine Liu Gui dotes on the harem. It is said that the emperor went to Concubine Liu's Jingren Palace, and when he went to court the next day, he announced that the fourth prince would be in charge of disaster relief."
"In the past two years, Empress Wei and Concubine Liu Gui have fought fiercely, and the crown prince and the fourth prince have also secretly competed in court, and some signs have begun to appear."
"The sixth prince is eighteen this year, and he is expected to be a servant in the court next year. As the princes grow up, the court will become more and more complicated in the future."
Listening to this conversation, when thinking of the special status of the First Prince, Shi Fuxin gave up the idea of contacting the cheap apprentice.
As long as it is a prince, it seems that the matter of seizing the heirloom cannot be avoided.
Their family is still too weak now, so it is better to be a cheap apprentice at a distance, lest someone who does not pay attention becomes cannon fodder for the princes.
Shi Fuxin looked around at the people in the stands, and sighed in her heart, sure enough, the circle is very important, and only in this kind of place where the rich and powerful gather can one hear some secret news.
Why!
Shi Fu Xin stuck her chin and sighed.
It seems that the Wuchang uncle's mansion has really been squeezed out of the noble circle. After returning to Shi's house for so long, she has never heard any similar news from Shi's family.
When Fuxin was feeling emotional, she suddenly heard a commotion, and when she took a closer look, she saw the guys in the racecourse nodding and bowing to apologize to the people in the stands one by one.
"My lords and ladies, I'm really sorry. The third son Yao has booked the racecourse. He just sent a message that he will be there in a while. Please leave first."
Most of the people who come to the racecourse for consumption are young masters and ladies from noble families. Seeing the guys drive them away, they naturally don't do it.
"How do you do business, we come first, how can we drive away the first guest for the sake of him and the later guests?"
The guys all had a bitter look on their faces: "You guys can't help it. The third master Yao is coming suddenly, and it's beyond our control. All the young masters and ladies, please do me a favor and be considerate of the little ones. Later Yao The third son is here, it would be bad to have a conflict with everyone."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the stands were very ugly, but they didn't say anything, and stood up with aggrieved faces, ready to leave.
Shi Fuxin looked at this scene curiously, just as Young Master Zhao brought Shi Dinghao over, and hurriedly asked, "Who is Third Master Yao? It feels like everyone is afraid of him."
Young Master Zhao: "It doesn't seem like it, but I'm really scared." Then, he lowered his voice a little, "Chu Yao, the third son of King Rongjun, he is a stingy master, if you meet in the future If you can hide, hide quickly, and don't mess with him."
Shi Dinghao was also curious: "What will happen if you mess with him?"
Young Master Zhao immediately returned Shi Dinghao with a look of 'you are dead': "Because Yushi said something wrong, Chu Yao felt offended, and knocked out Yushi's front teeth directly in the palace. , He even hit the court officials if he said so, and you said you provoked him, what would he do to you?"
When Dinghao was about to ask again, he heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the racecourse, and when he turned his head, he saw a group of young men in fresh clothes walking in.
The moon-white figure surrounded by everyone immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the racecourse.
When Fuxin saw the person coming, her eyes lit up suddenly.
wow~⊙o⊙, handsome guy!
Isn't this the man they saw in front of the imperial city last time?
"Young Master Yao!"
I saw that the people who were still filled with righteous indignation before all put on smiling faces at this moment. As soon as the group of young masters passed by, they smiled and greeted each other.
The son of the prince of the county, he looks handsome and imposing, even if he has a bad reputation, he can't stop the girls present from peeking at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao had a vague smile on his mouth, a bit of indifference in his laziness, and led a group of young masters talking and laughing towards the stands, turning a blind eye to the people around who greeted him.
Master Zhao, Fan Feiyu, and Tian Siyuan looked at each other when they saw Chu Yao coming.
"let's go."
As soon as the three stepped off the stands, they met Chu Yao face to face.
