Most of the viewing sheds around the polo field are full of people, and there are servants guarding the empty sheds. The surrounding low sheds are full of men, women and children, but mainly young men and women. .
In the morning, the golden sun hit their faces, full of vigor and smiles.
They followed Mu Dalang towards the shed of Mu's house, and along the way, people kept looking sideways at her and whispering to each other.
She always had a standard professional smile on her face.
Seeing the reactions of the people around, Mu Jia took a step closer to her and said, "Second sister should wear a veiled hat when going out today. You should wear mine first." He untied it and handed it to her.
She knew what Mu Jia was thinking: she didn't want outsiders to see her true face.In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, whether she is ugly or beautiful is still unknown, and will continue to be speculated and discussed.If she was wearing a veiled hat today, those who had started to change their minds might start to wonder again if she was hiding it because she was ugly and afraid to see others.
She took the veiled hat and didn't put it on, but handed it to Wei'er beside her, and said with a polite smile: "It's not the custom in our capital that a lady must wear a veiled hat when going out, and the spring is beautiful and the wind is warm, so you should go Look and feel, wearing it is too troublesome. Does the third sister feel much more comfortable after taking off the veil? And the third sister is so beautifully dressed today, wearing a veil to cover it, isn’t it a pity? Look at the lady over there Aren't you wearing them too?"
Then he said to Chao Mujun: "The fourth sister should be picked too! It's not that she looks ugly, is she afraid of being looked down upon by others?"
Mu Jun glanced at Mu Jia, and then at Tang Xiaoshi. Mu Jia's appearance was not bad, but standing with Tang Xiaoshi, she could only serve as a foil.
She politely smiled and refused: "I'm afraid of the sun." She didn't take it off, so as not to embarrass herself.
Tang Xiaoshi pretended to smile helplessly.Then he generously let these curious people look at her face enough to see clearly what she looks like, the "ugly girl" who made Xun Erlang escape from marriage.
Suddenly several gentlemen in front came up to greet Mu Dalang.
"Why are you here now?"
"Sorry, driving is slow."
The man who asked the question looked past Mu Dalang and looked at her, then turned his gaze away and asked Mu Dalang to introduce Hang Rui beside him with a smile.
"My uncle's nephew, the second son of the Governor of Hangzhou, Hezhou." Mu Dalang said, and then introduced to Hang Rui, "This is Zhao Dalang, the son of Marquis Anyuan."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoshi couldn't help but look at Prince Zhao in front of him.His facial features are resolute and cold, his body is tall and strong, and he is a standard tough guy.How could he be beaten up by Xun Lan, who looks like a dandy?
Shouldn't it be the other way around, he pushed Xun Lan to the ground and beat him up?
Oh, what a pity!
After Zhao Shizi and Hang Rui had a few polite words, they set their eyes on her again, and then asked Mu Dalang and Hang Rui without hesitation, "Is this the second lady Mu?"
"Exactly."
Tang Xiaoshi took a step forward with a smile, and saluted: "I have seen the prince, and the prince is well." Then he saluted the other lords.
Zhao Shizi and the lords bowed their hands to return the salute, and said to Mu Dalang and Hang Rui with a smile: "Miss Mu Er is beautiful, quiet and elegant, and really takes all the advantages of your Mu and Hang families."
"The prince's praise is ridiculous, but the concubine is ugly and dare not bear the prince's praise."
Zhao Shizi smiled coldly: "Who is so short-sighted and dares to say that about the second lady? If the second lady is so beautiful and can be called ugly, then there are not many beautiful ladies in Luoyang City."
"Who else is there, only Xun Erlang." A gentleman next to him deliberately made it clear, his tone seemed to be venting his anger.
"Xun Erlang is really... blind." Zhao Shizi said with a smile, obviously when Xun Lan was mentioned, his smile became unnatural, and there was still anger and resentment in his eyes.
She smiled and said nothing.
The two sides knew each other, and after a few polite words, they walked over to the shed.
Mu Dalang, Hang Rui and Zhao Shizi went to the main stage together, and she and Mu Jiamujun came to Mu's shed.
Standing in front of the low fence, looking at the flat and green lawn in front of me, several young people's games I have seen emerge in my mind.After traveling through books for so many years, many memories are blurred—I don’t know if it’s because of the long time, or because we’re not in the same time and space—but the Cuju match when I was a Xiao Yiren is clearer, but I can’t remember many details .
From this, she also thinks of the time and space she is in now. There is no doubt that Xun Erlang is the hero of the poem, but she has not guessed this poem yet.
"Lady, look." Wei'er raised her chin and pushed aside.
She looked over and saw a young lady about sixteen or seventeen years old surrounded by several maidservants.The little lady has a slim figure, soft features, and fair skin, like a doll carved from white jade.
The other party seemed to have noticed her gaze, and looked up at the shed on her side with a blank expression, and did not look away until he passed the shed on her side.
"Second sister, do you know that lady?" Mu Jia stood side by side with her, watching the lady go towards the main stage.
"Who?" She asked curiously.
"We are the number one beauty in Luoyang, Mrs. Zhao Si."
"The daughter of Marquis Anyuan? The one Xun Lan offended years ago?"
Mu Jia smiled and nodded: "That's her."
She looked over again.
According to Mu Jia's words, Xun Lan likes Mrs. Zhao Si, and something happened because of the wrong way of expressing her love.Xun Lan is a person who can betray her promise and escape marriage because of her ugliness. It seems reasonable to like such a beauty and act impulsively.
"It is indeed a beauty." She praised, turned around and walked to the table to sit down, and beckoned Wei Er to come forward and whisper something to her, Wei Er stepped back with a smile.
Mu Jia's eyes followed Wei'er, and she looked away after seeing Wei'er order a servant from the Hang family to leave in another direction, "Second sister, what do you need and the servants are not prepared?"
"No, I just think the polo match is about to start, the three of us are too boring to sit and watch here, please invite a few people over to make it more lively.
Mu Jia and Mu Jun got acquainted with each other, and they became suspicious: the other party just returned to Beijing, except for the lady they didn't know at all, where did they go to invite someone?
Going to look for Wei'er and the boy, they were gone.
Not long after, Wei'er came back, and the person invited by her was none other than Mrs. Zhao Si.
She carried her skirt and walked up to the shed with the help of the maid, her eyes fell on Tang Xiaoshi, she bowed her knees slightly, her smile was pure and harmless.
"The lady is Mrs. Zhao Er?"
"Yes." Tang Xiaoshi replied.At such a close distance, the face of the person in front of him can be seen more clearly.An impeccable face made her both envious and a little jealous.Especially with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, it is really like a hibiscus coming out of clear water, and peach blossoms bloom in spring, forming a landscape of its own.
It is said that she is beautiful and delicious, and she is probably such a beauty.
She was a bit obsessed with watching, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately invited her to sit at the table, and sighed in her heart, no wonder Xun Lan coveted him, she even liked her a little bit even as a woman.
"The brothers were having fun together and left us ladies behind. I see that the fourth lady is alone, so I invite you to come over and let's sit together and talk." She said with a smile.
Zhao Siniang and Mu Jiamujun sat down at the small table after seeing the ceremony, and said with a smile: "Before I heard that the second lady returned to Beijing, there have been a lot of rumors in the city recently, so I half believed it. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to see the real face of the second lady today. Otherwise, I would be really confused by those rumors."
Tang Xiaoshi felt that something was wrong with what she said, but she couldn't say it out. She glanced at Mu Jia from the corner of her eye. She was staring at Mrs. Zhao Si, her eyes were cold, even with a bit of disgust.
She pretended not to see her, and responded politely: "I just returned to Beijing and heard the name of Mrs. Zhao Si."
"Really?" Mrs. Zhao Si's complexion changed slightly, and she put on a pure and innocent smile in an instant.
"Ms. Zhao Si is the number one beauty in Luoyang. How could I have never heard of it? My younger sisters told me about you just after returning to Beijing!"
Mrs. Zhao Si looked at Mujiamujun, and politely said a few words of praise.
Just at the right time, the polo match on the field had already started, and the two teams rushed over with horses and poles.
Several people also stopped talking and all looked towards the field.
After a while, Wei'er leaned closer to her, and she turned her head to look at the wooden ladder knowingly, Xun Erlang had already walked halfway.Looking up and seeing him, he froze on the wooden ladder, and quickly glanced at the ladies beside him.
Mrs. Zhao's back was facing him, and Mu Jiamujun was watching the game sideways, and they couldn't see their faces at all from the position of the wooden ladder.The maids serving beside her also turned their backs.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled at him silently.
Xun Lan seemed to be enraged immediately, and rushed forward in three steps at a time, pointing at her and sneering: "It's really hard to find a place to find you here today, I..."
His movements froze for a moment, his words choked in his throat, he stared blankly at the faces of the three ladies who turned to look at him at the same time, stared at Tang Xiaoshi for a while in bewilderment, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the wooden ladder.
"Xun Erlang!" she called out in a high voice, "won't you sit down and have a chat?"
Xun Lan hurriedly ran down the shed without looking back.
She walked up to the wooden ladder and smiled at Xun Lan who had already got off the ladder: "The steps are so quick, it seems that the injury is not serious, I thought you were going to be carried here today!"
"You..." Pointing back at her, speechless.Seeing Mrs. Zhao Si beside her, she pushed away the people in front of her and left in a hurry.
The people watching the polo game around were attracted by the sound and movement here, and they all looked over.
Tang Xiaoshi immediately motioned for the servants of the Hang family to follow.
Turning his face, he saw Mrs. Zhao Si and Mu Jia greedily looking at Xun Lan's back, with almost the same expressions.
She can understand that Mu Jia is like this. After all, she heard her talking with Mu Jun in the water pavilion that day. She likes Xun Lan, but Mrs. Zhao is so affectionate, her eyes are full of attachment, and the corner of her mouth is smiling, which is abnormal.
She looked at Mu Jia again, compared the two sides again, and immediately understood.
Looking at the crowd again, Xun Lan was no longer in sight.
He escaped quickly!
"Miss Zhao Si." She called softly, pulling the other party back.
Mrs. Zhao Si realized that she had lost her composure, and immediately said: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't accompany the three ladies." She left in a hurry with the maidservant.
She motioned to the maid who was serving under the stage, and the maid quietly followed.
"The third younger sister was acquainted with Xun Erlang before?" Turning around, he asked casually.
"I've only met a few times, and I'm not familiar with each other." Mu Jia smiled and sat back in his seat, and immediately picked up the tea cup to drink, and it was obvious at a glance that he was covering up his nervousness.
She pretended not to notice, and said with a smile: "The third younger sister told me last time that Xun Erlang had feelings for Mrs. Zhao Si, but I heard some rumors that it seems that Mrs. Zhao is interested in Xun Erlang. Do you think they are in love with each other?" Xiangyue, he was bumped into by Zhao Shizi, that's why he misunderstood?"
"This...Is this impossible?" Mu Jia held the teacup tightly with both hands, and forced a smile to answer.
Mu Jun also persuaded: "Where did the second sister hear it? Don't tell me it's just rumors. How could a beauty like Mrs. Zhao Si like that dude Xun Erlang!"
"What the fourth sister said is true." She sneered, pretending to be puzzled, "I'm also very curious, how could such an annoying Xun Erlang attract my wife's liking!"
In the morning, the golden sun hit their faces, full of vigor and smiles.
They followed Mu Dalang towards the shed of Mu's house, and along the way, people kept looking sideways at her and whispering to each other.
She always had a standard professional smile on her face.

Then he said to Chao Mujun: "The fourth sister should be picked too! It's not that she looks ugly, is she afraid of being looked down upon by others?"
