226 Re-election of horses
Gu Yan rubbed her forehead and let out a long breath.
"The other party can think of it, so this method is not very effective. I need to know the process and rules of horse racing now, and then decide on the method."
When everyone heard this, it was easy to deal with, just let Luo Rongxuan say it.
So everyone unanimously recommended Luo Rongxuan to explain to Gu Yan, but Luo Rongxuan did not refuse and explained the process and rules of the horse racing clearly.
"We are divided into three horse racing games, ten horses at a time, and each side will produce five horses. The first place is counted as ten, and the second place is nine points. Push down one after the last one. Only one point will be counted as the total score after the three horse racing games. Whoever has the higher score will win.
We are considered as one team, and the other team is composed of the four young masters in the capital and those young talents. Each game is controlled by both sides who are good at riding and shooting. Whether it is the master, the servant or the guard, we send five people, five servants, and only five guards. We are the horses ourselves, no matter which breed of horse they are.
I also thought that the boss's sweat-blooded BMW would easily win the first place, so I invited the boss to come."
Gu Yan nodded and soon understood.
To put it bluntly, each team has fifteen people plus fifteen horses, five of them are going up at a time, and they will compete in three times. In the end, whoever gets more points will win.
Gu Yan looked around and said, "Where is your horse? Didn't you choose it?"
Luo Rongxuan was excited when he heard this, pointed to the stable in front and said, "In front, their family produced two horses, and the rest were all from me. But the boss, except for Dong Tianbao and the others, the other horses in their hands were not the best. The best ones were taken out by their brother, and they were in another team."
Luo Rongxuan became depressed as he spoke, and his listless look made people feel distressed when he saw it.
Gu Yan was no exception. Luo Rongxuan stayed with her for a year. She taught him all kinds of knowledge, just like her own children... Well, it was no, it was a younger brother, it was not right, it was a friend, it was a friend. She felt uncomfortable when she saw him looking.
Gu Yan sighed and had no choice but to deal with him.
"Okay, let's go and have a look first. Changsheng, send the orders and send ten good horses over."
Chang Shengdeling quickly left the racecourse and went to the periphery to ride a horse to the nearby village of Gu Yan.
Fortunately, it is in the suburbs. Gu Yan has a village nearby. He has raised many good horses on the village, all of which were pulled back by Gu Yan at the border. They were prepared for his secret guards and blood-killing members when they went out for tasks. It took half an hour to go back and forth.
Gu Yan followed Luo Rongxuan and others to the stable. When he looked up, his nose was almost squinting. He pointed to the horse in the stable and asked, "Is this the good horse you are talking about? No, is it a horse that is one-sixth?"
Everyone nodded, and Luo Rongxuan also said from the side: "Ah! Yes! Look at the horse's hooves, look at the panels and teeth, which means that this horse is good, and the one there, how beautiful! I bought it from a merchant from the Western Regions for 10,000 taels of silver. Look at its ears..., Ah! Boss, let it go! It hurts, my ears, my ears! Boss, boss..."
Gu Yan grabbed Luo Rongxuan's ear and walked to the horse that spent 10,000 taels of silver, and laughed furiously, "You spent 10,000 taels of this horse? Is there a lot of money to spend? Is there a lot of money to give me money to me! I'll help you spend it! Are you blind? This horse is going to be old, tell me how beautiful it is? Where is it beautiful? Why don't you marry home as a wife? Ah?
Oh~, no wonder I didn't marry it home! It turned out to be a man, Luo Rongxuan, you are tired of living, are you? Have you never taught you how to see a horse? What have you heard? You dare not listen to this kind of horse in class, and you dare to spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy me such a horse. You are looking for death! When you see the beautiful one, you pull it back, why didn't you pull it into your room?..."
Gu Yan was so angry that she was so angry that she said something about being a good horse just now was useless. If there is no good horse here, what else can I compare to?
Gu Yan was so angry that she was so vegetarian that she rushed out, and the dandy listened to it was shocked.
Damn it! This is just a female bandit! She dares to say anything and asks Prince Luo to marry a horse and be a wife. This is what she can say.
Luo Rongxuan was so aggrieved that he was about to cry. He wanted to cover his ears but didn't dare to get started. Gu Yan was holding his ears. He would definitely touch Gu Yan's hand if he got started. This is something that people in broad daylight may not necessarily be heard, so he could only endure it.
"Boss, can you just be rational? I've bought this horse for three years, wuwu..."
I won’t blame him for this. You haven’t come back three years ago. I feel so wronged! Woo woo...
Gu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she let her hands go awkwardly, coughing behind her hands, "That, that, I just want to tell you to study hard, don't be careless, and apply what you have learned. Don't just learn anything in books. Talking about war on paper can only be defeated like a mountain, and you have to know how to fight in practice. Okay, that's it, don't use these horses. Too bad, let's just give in."
Gu Yan shook her head helplessly and winked Mo Xiang. After receiving it, Mo Xiang nodded secretly and quietly left the horse farm.
"Boss, can't these be used?"
"You can only pick one or two out of the top few, so you don't need to think about it. If you have good luck, you can get six or seven."
Luo Rongxuan nodded and touched his red ears with grievance, "Boss, your ears make you red."
Gu Yan was a little embarrassed, but she didn't show her face. She frowned and scolded: "A big man can't stand the pain so much, what else can he do?"
Luo Rongxuan dared not refute, and followed Gu Yan in aggrievedly and walked into the horse farm. As he walked, he felt something was wrong. When he looked back, his followers were still staring at them stupidly.
Luo Rongxuan paused, his eyes flashed slightly.
It's over, they're all seeing it. What did he do just now? He seemed to be acting like a spoiled person with the boss? No way? Oh my god! I really don't have to live anymore. My reputation for more than 20 years has been ruined.
Luo Rongxuan swallowed and waved behind him with a stern face, "Hurry up, why are you standing stupidly? Have you seen the boss leave? Look at the good things you did, it's useless. I've worked on a long time without a good horse. Fortunately, there are two of my horses inside, otherwise I would have lost all my face in front of the boss today.
Tell me what can you do? It’s impossible to pull two good horses. So, send someone to prepare the banquet for the boss. All the good tea and water are ready. Can this be done? It’s really, it’s so worrying!”
Luo Rongche shook his sleeves and left. Everyone looked at each other and secretly scolded Luo Rongxuan for being a good person. They were embarrassed and asked for help.
Frightened by Luo Rongxuan's tyranny, everyone did not dare to say anything, nor did they dare to spread everything they saw today, so they could only pinch their noses and recognize them.
He just talks, but who makes him worse than them!
Not long after, all the young men who bet on horses with Luo Rongxuan began to enter the market. Of course, there were also many ladies who followed him to watch the fun.
Gu Yan saw that the people from the Fourth Duke's Mansion, the Qing Prince's Mansion and the two county prince's mansions had arrived, and there were six ministries, five temples and several important officials in the court. They also arrived, but they were all in full.
After everyone saw the etiquette, Yao Hua came to Gu Yan, shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Princess Huairou is here too? When do you have time? My sister wants to see you, but you stay at home every day and never leave the house. It is harder to see you than climbing the sky."
Gu Yan glanced at Yao Hua and said, "It's time to meet you, but I don't have time for the time being. When I have time to hold a banquet at home, I will invite my senior sister to come."
Since the ceremony, she hasn't had a good chat with her three senior sisters, so it's time to get together. By the way, she invited her master. She was quite lonely on the mountain alone.
Yao Hua's eyes lit up and he immediately leaned forward, "Can you bring me with you during the party?"
Gu Yan frowned, "What do you want to do?"
Yao Hua stared at Gu Yan and said, "I haven't heard my sister play the piano for a long time since she got married. I still remember when she was a child when she returned from studying and stroking her family. My sister was the most beautiful at that time, and you don't know. Since I asked about my sister playing the piano, I can no longer listen to the piano sounds of others. Only the piano sounds you played in Wu'an Hou Mansion two years ago can be even better than my sister. So I want to go and see you and listen to you playing the piano."
Gu Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Don't go."
Yao Hua was confused, "Why?"
Gu Yan raised her foot and left, giving him an extremely powerful reason before leaving.
"I'm not a piranha."
Yao Hua choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Cheng Lingyan, who stood with Yao Hua but didn't say a word, was very happy to see Yao Hua eat turtles, and patted his big hand on his shoulder.
"Be honest, you are a big man who participates in a small gathering between several women, and you are not afraid of people making jokes."
Yao Hua rolled her eyes, "What do you know? I still remember my sister's piano sound, it's simply fairy music. Do you still remember the music played by Princess Huairou two years ago? I always felt that she didn't do her best. I wonder if she would do her best in front of her sister and the eldest princess, and how wonderful and beautiful the music played was."
When Cheng Lingyan saw Yao Hua showing an obsessive look, he couldn't help but frown. He couldn't tell whether he wanted to hear Gu Yan play the piano or see Gu Yan play the piano.
Cheng Lingyan felt thoughtful, and felt a little aggrieved inexplicably. His mind was fluttering, but he could never get a clue.
In addition to the two of them, Chu Yunxiao and Wen Yuanchen also came to the horse farm. There were also a group of young men around them, and the ladies from each family were a little far away and were already sitting in the side of the stands.
Not far away, Wen Yuanchen looked at Gu Yan who was talking to Yao Hua and asked Chang Kang next to him, "Why is Princess Huairou coming too?"
Chang Kang rolled his eyes, "How could I know? I'm not the roundworm in her belly."
Wen Yuanchen choked and turned around and glared at him, "Idiot, I mean, Princess Huairou will definitely help Luo Rongxuan when she comes. With her here, it is hard to say what the result of betting on horses is."
Chang Kang shook his head indifferently, "If you lose, you lose. What's the point? Besides, no matter how powerful Princess Huairou is, she can't do anything about her if she doesn't have a horse."
Wen Yuanchen lowered his head and thought, "Maybe, I hope there will be no changes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from the entrance of the horse farm. When everyone looked back, more than thirty handsome horses rushed towards the horse farm with their heads raised. There were also a few inconspicuous men sitting in front of them.
Everyone was wondering where the handsome horse came from. Gu Yan had already hit the horse in front of the horses. Several men turned over and dismounted to salute Gu Yan. Only then did everyone realize that these people and horses were called by Gu Yan. In other words, Gu Yan would also participate in the bet today, and spared no effort.
Luo Rongxuan and others surrounded him again. Dong Tianbao, Cheng Lingyuan, Yao Sheng, Chu Yunzhong and others touched the handsome horse and drooled, asking Gu Yan where he got the horse.
Gu Yan didn't answer, and listened to Chang Sheng's report with a stern face.
"The slaves brought thirty-two horses, all of which were the fastest horses running on the farm. The princess could choose the best among these horses. In addition, the slaves brought ten good horsemen. When the five came, they had just signed the contract to sell their bodies, and the remaining five could serve as guards."
Gu Yan nodded with satisfaction, "I did a good job and thoughtfully. Changsheng, I am more and more satisfied with your work."
Chang Sheng was very happy to receive praise, and he was even more excited than Gu Yan's reward for money. He immediately smiled and bowed to Gu Yan, "It's all what a servant should do."
Gu Yan nodded and turned around and called Luo Rongxuan and others.
"You have ten people in total. Now I have eleven people. If you want to win this game, I have to participate, so one person must withdraw. It is said that he will withdraw, but he will also have a share of the money you win in private. We eleven people will share it equally, so it is said that whoever withdraws is, you can discuss it yourself."
When everyone heard this, they quickly got together to discuss which one would be better to withdraw.
Everyone gave in a humble manner, and finally Tang Zhenguo said, "It's better for me. Among us, my father has the youngest official position. I didn't want to be famous anyway. It's not good to ride and shoot. I just can't stand them all the way to stand out. Now with the help of the princess, it's all right to me."
Everyone thought about it and finally decided to let Tang Zhenguo withdraw temporarily.
Seeing that they had agreed, Gu Yan walked among the crowd and said, "Now we will choose the five best horse riders. I can be considered one. Luo Rongxuan is not bad either. Who else can get on the way?"
Several people had already discussed this and made a decision soon.
Luo Rongcheng, the legitimate grandson of King Qing, was also trained as the prince's request since childhood, so he could still ride and shoot, even if he was the only grandson of King Qing.
Although Yao Sheng from the Duke of Zhenguo was born in a illegitimate family, he always followed Luo Rongxuan and rode with him many times over the years. It is not very good, at least not too timely. He is much better than Dong Tianbao and Tang Zhenguo, so he is also the only one.
The other one is really forced, it is Chu Yunzhong of the Duke of Wei.
If we say that the Chu family is now the best development among the Four Dukes' Mansions, the young masters of Chu Yunzhong's generation are still quite angry. Although they tend to learn literature and have not lost their martial arts, they are just learning to strengthen their bodies. If they really want to let them go to the battlefield, they have to retrain.
