1432 Prairie Horse Race
Suddenly seeing the "old lover", Zhou Xingchen's mood was surprised.
Because Zhou Xingchen has already received the news that the connoisseur's Xing Muliu is going to hold an engagement banquet on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Zhou family naturally cannot be missing from the invitation list.
If nothing else, Zhou Xingchen will represent the Zhou family at the connoisseur's engagement banquet.
"Hello Zhou Xingchen. Xing Muliu also shook hands with Zhou Xingchen generously.
After shaking hands, Zhou Xingchen's gaze turned to Tang Ding, "Then this is Mr. Tang Ding Tang who has a beautiful woman, right?"
"Hello. Tang Ding bowed slightly to Zhou Xingchen, he could be regarded as having seen it.
"Miss Mu Liu, don't you want to introduce your friends?" Zhou Xingchen looked at Zong Xiaoyan and Sophie with burning eyes, obviously he had set his sights on the two of them.
Zhou Xingchen knew that Tang Ding was powerful, how could he not be a person who could make the Ye family die and be helpless? To be honest, a person like Tang Ding, Zhou Xingchen was scared in his heart, because he had long heard that Tang Ding regarded life as a mustard and killed many masters sent out by the Ye family, including Tianmen, which was not counted, and even in a fit of anger, even the old man of the Ye family was almost killed, and in the end, the Ye family was able to compromise.
Zhou Xingchen deliberately didn't look at Zong Xiaoyan and the other three beauties before, because he didn't want the beauties to look down on him. But now she deliberately looked at Zong Xiaoyan and Sophie, wanting Tang Ding to look down on her. He didn't want Tang Ding to think that he was looking at Xing Muliu with a squint, so as not to arouse the jealousy of this evil star.
In Zhou Xingchen's heart, he regarded Zong Xiaoyan and Sophie as Xing Muliu's "bridesmaid group". Although there are generally no bridesmaids in engagement, this is only for ordinary people, and for a big family like connoisseurs, engagement is also an extremely grand event, not to mention the bridesmaid group, even if the whole process is carried out according to the wedding.
Xing Muliu's cultivation is very good, and she did not show dissatisfaction because of her dislike of Zhou Xingchen, she introduced Zuo Yuru, Yalu Diba, and Xiang You, the three apprentices of Tang Ding, to Zhou Xingchen, of course, she would not say that these were Tang Ding's apprentices, only that they were friends.
After introducing them, he introduced Zong Xiaoyan and Sophie, "These two are my good sisters. ”
Xing Muliu already has enough wisdom to deal with someone like Zhou Xingchen, of course she won't tell him that her three sisters are ready to marry Tang Ding at the same time.
Xing Muliu does not lack heart.
After listening to Xing Muliu's introduction, Zhou Xingchen stretched out his hand to the two daughters in a hurry, but he was closed by the two women.
If it weren't for Zong Xiaoyan, Sophie might have shook hands with Zhou Xingchen like Xing Muliu, but first Zhou Xingchen snatched the roasted whole sheep of himself and others, and then Zong Xiaoyan coldly disdained Zhou Xingchen.
Therefore, Zong Xiaoyan and Sophie both ignored Zhou Xingchen's outstretched hand.
"Hehe, both ladies seem to have the reserve of the ancients. After Zhou Xingchen hit a wall on the two women, he withdrew his hand in a daze.
However, what Zhou Xingchen said was very right, Zong Xiaoyan did have an aura that was not like modernity, and it was this aura that made Zhou Xingchen fall in love with Zong Xiaoyan at first sight.
Zhou Xingchen probably knew that he was not welcomed here, so after chatting a few more words, he said goodbye and left.
At this time, the roasted whole lamb was also roasted and served on the table.
After eating, everyone is ready to play in the grassland in the afternoon, after all, when you come to the grassland, you are here to ride a horse.
Horse riding is also a must in this prairie, and in this prairie farmhouse, it is not like before when each family raises horses and sheep in herds, but only symbolically raises one or two horses, which is a gimmick as a farmhouse. In fact, the horseback riding in this farmhouse has long been the same as roasting whole sheep, and there is a horse farm dedicated to raising horses.
The number of horses in the farmhouse is generally relatively small, Tang Ding's line is eight people, and if you want to find a herdsman with eight horses in the farmhouse, there is basically none.
However, Xingnannan happened to have a horse in this farmhouse, and the herdsmen rarely rode it on weekdays, which was tied to the yurt as a gimmick for the farmhouse, attracting customers, and sometimes allowing customers to ride horses or take pictures.
Since I want to ride a horse, the owner of the farmhouse recommends this one. Of course, people are also trying to make money, and after riding for an afternoon, at least three or four hundred yuan will come in.
Among these people, Tang Ding is naturally the leader, so this horse is naturally given to Tang Ding.
Tang Ding was not polite, because everyone was about to go to the horse farm to pick horses, and the horse farm was not far from here, and it would take five or six minutes to drive.
In the horse farm, after Xing Nannan asked everyone to pick a horse, everyone rode the horse slowly, and just after turning over a small hill, Tang Ding saw Zhou Xingchen again.
Zhou Xingchen obviously came earlier than Tang Ding and the others, because they seemed to have stopped here for a while.
"Brother Tang, are you here too?" Zhou Xingchen greeted Tang Ding warmly.
Zhou Xingchen also knew that among the men in this group, only Tang Ding would greet him.
"Hello. Tang Ding inadvertently swept past the tall horse that Zhou Xingchen was riding.
Downing is no stranger to Marco, having spent a considerable amount of time at the Royal Racecourse during his time at Buckingham Palace in England and also participated in a number of races as royalty, the most important of which was the annual Dubai Turf Club, in which Downing won the championship and won a huge prize money.
Although Tang Ding didn't know the breed of the horse, he could see the horse's spirit. Zhou Xingchen's horse is tall and powerful, obviously half a head taller than the rest of the horses, tall and long-legged, strong limbs, and at first glance, it is a good horse with excellent speed and endurance.
"Brother Tang, congratulations on holding a beautiful woman and becoming an expert in the east bed of the fast son-in-law. ”
Zhou Xingchen said compliments, but Tang Ding obviously felt that he was insincere in his heart.
"Brother Tang, in the future, we will all be playing in the circle of the capital, Brother Tang and I hit it off at first sight, I think we will become good friends in the future. ”
"Huh. Tang Ding just smiled blindly and didn't answer Zhou Xingchen's words.
Just when Zhou Xingchen was talking to Tang Ding, he heard Xiang You shouting, and knocked Zhang Junzheng off the horse with one punch, and Xiang You had to get off the horse and chase Zhang Junzheng to fight.
"What's going on?" asked Dondin.
"Master, this street boy said that my horse is very bad, that I have no vision, how did I pick such a bad horse. I couldn't get angry and hit him directly. ”
"You obviously just picked a garbage horse, not everyone on Hong Kong Island can tell the horse scripture is the way, why did you pick such a garbage horse out?" Zhang Junzheng shouted, "You said that your horse is not garbage, let's compare and see?"
"Hmph, it's better than that, I'm still afraid that you won't be a bad boy?" Xiang You is a character who does not admit defeat wherever he goes.
Tang Ding noticed that when Xiang You promised to race the horse, a trace of cunning flashed in Zhou Xingchen's eyes, and it seemed that the treacherous plan had succeeded.
"The game is okay, but it can't be compared like this, we always have to have some lottery, so let's give the winner 100,000 yuan if we lose. It's mine. Zhou Xingchen took out 100,000 yuan from his bag.
"Okay, 100,000 is 100,000. Xiang You didn't realize that he had fallen into someone else's trap, "But I didn't bring any cash." ”
"No problem, I believe that Hong Kong Island Xiang Shao's golden signboard, 100,000 yuan, I don't think Xiang Shao will be repaid. ”
After Tang Ding had already agreed on a gambling contract, he looked at the two of them's horse "qi".
Although the horse Zhang Junzheng rode was as tall and short as Xiang You's horse, its aura was much stronger than Xiang You's horse. Moreover, the horses ridden by the six or seven people on Zhou Xingchen's side were all stronger than the horses on his side.
Obviously, Zhou Xingchen and others picked out the horses in the horse farm first, and he and the others could only "pick up people's teeth" in the horse farm later.
The rules of horse racing, in fact, there are no rules at all, after all, everyone is not professional, from here to a flagpole with a small flag tethered, and then back, whoever takes the shortest time wins.
There happened to be a coach from the racecourse, which was for beginners, and he happened to be the referee at this time.
When they were ready, the referee shouted, and the two horses rushed out one after the other.
The two horses, naturally Zhang Junzheng's horse reacted faster, but the reaction time was about the same, but obviously Zhang Junzheng's horse had better physical strength, and Xiang You's run-in to this horse was not enough, and soon, Zhang Junzheng's horse ran to the front and led more than two horses.
This scene aroused the cheers of Zhou Xingchen's team.
However, Zhang Junzheng underestimated Xiang You, although the horse was picked to go, but Xiang You is not simple, although he is not a professional rider, but he is a member of the Jockey Club on Hong Kong Island, oh, in fact, Xiang Huashan is a member of the Jockey Club, but Xiang You is no stranger to horses, and his riding skills have also been professionally guided, so the riding posture is standard, and he can give full play to the strength of the horse.
Therefore, although Zhang Junzheng was ahead of two horse bodies at the beginning, at the turn of the flagpole, Xiang You had already shortened the distance between the two to one horse body.
After the turn, Zhang Junzheng was still ahead, but Xiang You was in hot pursuit, and the distance between the two horses was also shortening, and the two arrived almost at the same time.
However, after all, it was Xiang You who gave full play to the potential of the horse, and Zhang Junzheng's horse has a good foundation and abundant physical strength, so although the two of them went hand in hand in the final sprint, there was still a gap of more than ten centimeters, and the referee's eyes were very poisonous, and he could only judge Xiang You to lose realistically.
"Xiang Shao, thank you for your generosity, 100,000 yuan, which is also a lot of money, hahahaha. After winning, Zhang Junzheng laughed, and his eyes were full of mockery.
"Hmph. Xiang You also felt embarrassed, but he was indeed a person who would not repay his debts, "This money will be given to you when I return to Beijing." ”
"Thank you, Xiang Shao. Zhang Junzheng laughed, laughed for a while, and then turned to the crowd, "Do you still want to race horses with me?" ”
Zhang Junzheng's words, no one answered Tang Ding's side.
"You've won 100,000 yuan, now it's my turn, I've been short of pocket money lately. Hu Quankai sang and harmonized with Zhang Junzheng, and it seemed that Tang Ding and others were their "ATMs".
