Hello Chang’an

Chapter 93 It’s you

Following Yipot's shout, there was a brief silence.

Cui Jing noticed that there were countless eyes gathering at him, and the most intense surprise came from the arena—

Immediately, the boy with red lips and white teeth was so shocked that he trembled, and his expression was so excited that Qiao Yubai worried that he would fall off the horse.

"...Eldest brother!"

The eldest brother is really here!

There is no contradiction between a sincere invitation and knowing that you are daydreaming and whimsical -

But now the eldest brother is really here!

"Look, that's my eldest brother!" It was just the beginning of the game, and the game was not too tense. Cui Langshang was distracted by showing off his eldest brother to the other three teammates while swinging: "My eldest brother is also here. Look at my bowing!"

Qiao Yubai smiled and nodded: "I saw it."

The tall young man who also wore a blue ribbon around his waist and had just blocked the opponent's ball looked over and said, "Cui Liulangjun's eldest brother? That must be Commander Cui, the general of the Xuance Mansion!"

Another student from the team with fair skin and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes also glanced curiously at the young man in the pergola.

"I must win this fight today, and I hope you will give me your full help!" Cui Lang felt that he had "no way to retreat" and excitedly shouted: "When this fight is won, I invite everyone to sit in the Dengtai Tower. A celebration banquet will be held for three days and three nights!"

Today he must impress his eldest brother!

Qiao Yubai and the three of them all smiled and responded.

The tall young man at the back of the team swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of yearning: "Then it's settled!"

The rival students wearing black belts around their waists had complicated expressions upon hearing this - this has set the stage for the celebration banquet, treat them as dead people, right?

Both sides were inspired to fight, and the match gradually became more intense.

"Eldest brother really came to see the monkey show..." Cui Tang was a little surprised.

Mrs. Lu looked at her son who was as high-spirited as a fighting **** in the field, nodded and said: "This monkey is really getting up to speed."

Under the arbor on the women's side, the little maid next to Qiao Yumian has been talking to Qiao Yumian about the situation on the field. Her tone often fluctuates with the situation of the game. Qiao Yumian listens with rapt attention and nervousness.

Hearing the ladies behind him praising Qiao Yubai, Wang, who had always been very relaxed, just smiled and said, "Young people are just having fun."

Wang has an indifferent temperament, and the most distinctive features of her whole person are only two things. One is that she regards her husband's fishing as a lifelong enemy, and the other is that her love for burning incense and worshiping Buddha is engraved in her bones.

The high-spirited young man riding a horse and swinging a golf club on the field made people unable to take their eyes away. The women occasionally exchanged a few words in low voices while watching the game.

Today's saints attach great importance to the imperial examinations, and have repeatedly revised the academic system of the Imperial Academy to make it more closely connected with the officialdom -

Many of the students in the Imperial College have different backgrounds. Whether they passed the yearly examinations and were accepted into official positions, or they took the formal imperial examination route, the outstanding students among them will undoubtedly enter the officialdom in the future. of.

In the past two years, some families who wanted to find a husband for their daughter wanted to catch a son-in-law, but found that there were not many people to catch...

After careful inquiry, I found out that many young scholars who were on the list had been secretly taken away while they were studying in the Imperial College!

Under this situation, in order not to choose the remaining ones, everyone was forced to take action earlier to **** the candidate for a good son-in-law——

As a female family member, she usually does not have the opportunity to come into contact with the students in the Imperial College. Today's kickball competition is undoubtedly a rare and good opportunity.

Watching Ju Ju is important, but it is also secondary. Using Ju Ju to find good men is the serious thing.

The students who did not participate in the kicking ceremony were temporarily out of everyone's sight. At this point, all twenty-four students from the six teams had appeared on the court, and all the female relatives looked over them.

Among the eight people on the field at this time, apart from the two who were already husbands, among the other six, the most eye-catching ones were all on Qiao Yubai's team.

Looking at a tall, strong and honest young man, a woman whispered to the people around her: "...That is the husband of the Hu family. I heard that he is a concubine."

A concubine cannot inherit the family business, and her future is unclear unless she is outstanding.

"That's from the Cui family...he's a dandy."

A woman curled her lips and said: "If you are not a dandy, it has nothing to do with us. How can the Cui family be the same as ordinary children?"

When Mr. Cui marries a wife, he will not give ordinary powerful people a second glance.

"That one is pretty good, with a dignified appearance... I just look at the stranger. I wonder which family it is from?" A woman looked at the young supervisor in the center behind Qiao Yubai.

Many women shook their heads in disbelief.

Qiao Yumian listened and asked Chang Sui Ning curiously: "Ning Ning, who are those ladies talking about?"

"He's from Brother Yubai's team." Chang Sui Ning took a closer look and described: "It doesn't look like she is from Sheng, it should be from Dongluo-"

Qiao Yumian understood clearly: "That's a student from Dongluolai... His surname is Xi and his name is Zhiyuan. He has been coming to the Imperial College for five or six years."

The students in the Imperial College not only include Dasheng people, but also accept a few students from neighboring countries to study for friendly exchanges.

This supervisor named Xi Zhiyuan came from Dongluo, an ally of Dasheng.

Chang Sui Ning nodded lightly.

In the past, the surname was also a noble surname in Dongluo.

"It turns out he is from Dongluo..." Xi'er was surprised and then confused: "How did the girl find out? Why do you think this Dongluo is so similar to our Dasheng man?"

Chang Sui Ning picked up the drink to relieve the heat and said casually: "There is still a difference if you look closely."

Wei Miaoqing on the side heard this and took a closer look at Xi Zhiyuan, but frowned - why couldn't she see any difference? How did Chang Sui Ning see it?

Thinking like this, he quietly looked into Chang Suining's eyes, and saw the girl's eyes as quiet as mountain springs. Looking at them, it seemed that the whole body felt much cooler.

Wei Miaoqing's face wrinkled.

What's going on with these eyes?

There are such unreasonable people in the world!

Frustration arose in her heart, and she was defeated again and again, so she had no choice but to withdraw her gaze and sip tea.

The fact that Xi Zhiyuan was from Dongluo quickly spread among the women. People from Dongluo did not need to think too much about it. The laws of Dasheng clearly stated that unless a foreign prince settled in Dasheng, he would not be a native of Sheng. Otherwise, he cannot marry a Dasheng woman.

If other people still need to carefully inquire and weigh, the most eye-catching boy in the field does not need to make any further judgments at all.

Qiao Yubai's excellence cannot be hidden.

The son of Jijiu of the Imperial Academy, he has a fine appearance, an easy-going and gentle temperament, and outstanding talents and learning -

Such conditions seem to belong to the one where you can close your eyes to catch a son-in-law at the bottom of the list!

Even if we don't talk about the splendid qualities of his family background, talent and education, the heroic appearance of the young man on the court at this time can dazzle countless people.

There were obviously more women talking around Ms. Wang, and it was even getting crowded.

Mrs. Duan, Mrs. Zheng Guogong, saw that everyone was having fun, so she turned around and asked her daughter in a low voice: "What do you think of this husband of the Qiao family? If you sleep well, will you go and grab it too?"

Zheng Guogong's family of four has never been tactful.

Wei Miaoqing clutched the handkerchief with a depressed expression and shook her head: "It's pretty good."

Manager Fang on the side said: "?"

How can the girl's head and mouth still play different roles?

But there is no doubt that the girl is not looking at the husband of the Qiao family at all...the girl's thoughts are all on the wife of the Chang family.

"Then when you close your eyes after seeing her, tell me..." Mrs. Duan patted her daughter's hand, then turned back to talk to Chang Suining with a smile. Seeing this, Wei Miaoqing's heart became even more clogged, and she drank a large glass of ice drink, which made her teeth tremble.

On the field, with the sound of a gong, the fourth quarter of this game came to an end.

"The blue team won five flags in this section, and the blue team won again—"

Cui Lang immediately raised his bow stick in his hand, his sweaty face full of joy: "We win! We win!"

Although there are five quarters in each game, Qiao Yubai's team has won three of the four quarters so far, and the victory is determined. His victory is real.

"Are we going to compete for the rest of the quarter?" The young man named Hu wiped his sweat with his sleeve and asked Qiao Yubai.

In the last game, the yellow team led by Chang Miao also won three of the first four quarters. According to the rules, there was no need to play in the fifth quarter. However, Chang Miao used provocative words and forced the opponent to play another quarter. Won four quarters.

With this precedent in mind, the young man named Hu asked one more question.

Hearing this question at this time, the four students on the other side who were already showing signs of depression exchanged glances, waiting for Qiao Yubai's reaction.

"Of course we won't play." Qiao Yubai got off the horse and said with a smile: "It's already noon. If someone gets heat stroke in another quarter, then should we still play in the final game in the afternoon?"

His words are frank, and he will make his own thoughts clear.

It doesn't show its generosity, but it makes people very comfortable.

The other four people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The outcome was decided, their fighting spirit had collapsed, and their chances of winning another quarter were slim.

Just now, Na Changmiao's team played really fiercely. Not only did the loser lose the game, but their dignity was probably also bruised, and they looked embarrassed when they came off the field.

At this time, Cui Lang had already walked towards them, smiled and raised his hand to salute: "I accept, I accept!"

The boy was born well, and he was very lovable with a smile on his face: "Today, my elder brother came to watch the game. I really can't explain it if I lose. Fortunately, you all gave in, and I won this game!"

Those four people all knew his identity and felt a little flattered at this moment.

The various schools in the Imperial College teach students according to their sources. Most of the students in their school are admitted through hard work from various states. Since they are far away from the capital, there are more people with mediocre backgrounds -

For example, among the four of them, only one of them has someone in his family who is an official, and he is a minor official who is not worth mentioning.

To put it crudely, horses are a rarity for them. Before they entered the Imperial Academy to receive education, even if they had practiced juju, it was mostly just a "step fight" or a "small fight."

Nowadays, there are three types of bowing. The bowing on the horse is called big da. The bowing on the donkey is called small da. The bowing on the donkey is called stepping.

Therefore, they are actually incomparable with Cui Lang, the children of the capital who have been playing Juju on horses since childhood.

The odds of winning were not great in the first place, not to mention the fact that Qiao Yubai’s blue team was drawn—

Although he was a little more motivated to fight at first, he still knew his ability in his heart, and the loss was expected. Qiao Yubai was not as aggressive as Chang Miao, and Cui Lang's attitude was also very decent.

Therefore, these four people relaxed at this time and returned the favor with Cui Lang.

He also thought to himself that this Cui family member, Liulang, may be said to be a playboy, but he is actually kind-hearted.

The kinder ones are yet to come—

"Cui will hold a celebration banquet at Dengtai Tower in two days. You all will come too!"

"?"

"This..." The four people searched their brains for a long time, and they didn't know how to respond accurately. They could only say: "No reward for no merit..."

"Why don't you get rewarded for your merits? Thanks to all of you for giving in!"

Hearing that the referee had announced that the blue team had won this match, Cui Lang hurriedly went to find Qiao Yubai and the others, and hurriedly patted one of them on the shoulder: "That's it, don't break your promise!"

As soon as he left, the four people were left looking at each other blankly.

As they were leaving, the four of them chatted quietly.

"We lost the kicking match, but we were invited to the other party's celebration banquet. How could such a strange thing happen..."

"If you say this, why is the other party still suspected of humiliating others?"

"But... do you feel humiliated?" The person who asked the question had expressed his opinion on his face - anyway, he didn't feel humiliated at all.

Several other people also expressed their opinions in silence.

"Then shall we go?"

"That's the Cui family. If you don't go, will you offend the Cui family?"

After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became scary, and suddenly it felt like his future would be ruined if he was not careful.

In the midst of tension, someone suddenly said: "Wait a minute, have you overlooked a question?"

The other three looked at him.

"They haven't won yet." The student said, "They will compete again in the afternoon."

Each team draws lots before taking the field to determine the order of the game. In the first half of the day, six teams will be left with three teams. In the second half of the afternoon, the two winning teams will play one game first. After the winner is determined, the winning team will then compete with the remaining teams. That is to say, the final victory can be determined in the last game of the blue team where Qiao Yubai plays.

It was almost noon, and the first half of the day's competition was over. Everyone needed to eat and rest before the most critical final match in the afternoon.

During this period, predicting winning or losing is also an interesting thing.

The people around him dispersed for the time being, talking in twos and threes.

Most of the students went to the canteen of the Imperial College, and the Imperial College had specially prepared meals for the officials who came today. At this time, they were guided there by the book boys.

Some of the more important officials or officials with some personal relationships were personally accompanied by Qiao Jijiu, Cui Jing, Wei Shuyi and Yao Tingwei were among them.

"Today I will try the fish feast in our Imperial College..." Qiao Jijiu introduced as he walked: "Every fish is prepared for you by Qiao himself."

“…”

Qiao Yumian, who was walking behind, could not see her, but it did not prevent her from making a tacit look at Chang Sui Ning beside her.

Dad’s fish will not let anyone come to the Imperial College to eat.

Qiao Yubai and Cui Lang, who had discussed the afternoon final game plan with their teammates, caught up at this time.

Cui Lang came running: "Eldest brother!"

Cui Lang, who had rarely done something glorious, ran very fast. As he passed by like the wind, he accidentally touched half of Qiao Yumian's shoulder.

Qiao Yumian exclaimed in low voice and hurriedly ducked inside.

Chang Suining put his arm around her shoulders: "Sister, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Cui Lang's feet suddenly stopped at this exclamation. He said "Huh" thoughtfully, stepped back, looked at Qiao Yumian, and suddenly said: "It's you."

Are you all ready to return? I'm going back tomorrow_(:з」∠)_
