Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er waited for nearly half a quarter of an hour before Jia Quan and Xiao Zhao arrived late.

After the two arrived, Xiao Fan took them into this polo stadium opened by Liu Sandao's aunt, Madam Liu.

In addition to a polo field for playing polo, this stadium also has a hammer ball.

Today Xiao Fan brought Zhao Paner over to play polo.

Polo, also known as "killer", is a sport that starts by riding on a horse and hitting a polo stick.

The invention of polo began in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Zhi's "Famous Capital" included a poem "There are a cavalry that strikes Juling, and it is a clever and quick" to describe the situation of people playing polo at that time.

Emperors of all dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, such as Zhongzong, Xuanzong, Muzong, Jingzong, Xuanzong, Xizong, and Zhaozong were all enthusiasts of polo. In the sixth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also issued a special edict to order polo to be one of the military training courses.

Nowadays, the Song people's love for polo is even better than that of the Tang people. Today's officials have even formed a polo team to participate in the competition.

The court also regarded polo as one of the solemn "military rituals" and formulated detailed rituals and rules for this purpose.

As the saying goes, the superiors like each other must be more favorable than the subordinates. With the unremitting efforts of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, it has been deeply loved by the people. Now there are not only men's polo teams, but also women's teams.

After Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner entered the venue, they found that everyone else had arrived.

In addition to Ouyang Xu who had agreed to have been here today, there were Ning Liheng, He Zhenwei, Chai Zongliang and their wives.

Zhao Paner called Song Yinzhang, Yinping and Sun Sanniang's family.

As the organizer and the closest person, Xiao Fan came the latest and he and Zhao Paner came the latest, so he hurried forward to apologize: "I'm really sorry, I'm late!"

"Where, where, there are still some time before the time we made an appointment. You are not late." Ouyang Xu hurried forward and said as soon as he heard this.

Xiao Fan was not confused either. He looked at the two teams chasing the ball in the field and asked directly: "What's the situation now?"

"Lu Renjian, the son of county magistrate Lu Zhengzhong, formed a team with Zheng Xiaoren, the son of county magistrate Zheng Qingtian, and was fighting all sides and winning three games in a row." Liu Sandao said unhappy.

Xiao Fan heard Liu Sandao's unhappy tone and asked, "What? You have had a holiday with these two people?"

"It's nothing else, but the county magistrate and county magistrate are not in dealing with us Ning Haijun, and we younger generations don't like each other." Liu Sandao said casually.

"But I heard that Lu Renjian's reputation was not good, and others secretly called him a bitch Lu. The county magistrate Zheng Qingtian and his son's reputation was not good." Ning Liheng said in confusion: "How could Zheng Xiaoren get involved with Lu Renjian?"

"Oh? The county magistrate Zheng Qingtian's official voice is not bad?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Well, I heard that Zheng Qingtian was originally the magistrate of Haiyan, Xiuzhou. His official reputation was pretty good there. Then he was transferred to Qiantang County Magistrate this year." Someone in He Zhenwei's family served as an official in Jiangnan, so he had some understanding of Zheng Qingtian.

"I don't know about Zheng Xiaoren, but I and Pan'er have dealt with him." Xiao Fan smiled and said, "This is really not the wrong nickname. The bitch Lu is indeed as his name."

"Oh? Master, you have a holiday with him, too?" Liu Sandao said excitedly: "Then let's form a team and go up and kill them later?"

"Didn'er and Pan'er download the original Jiangyue real estate some time ago? When we went there, this bitch Lu Zheng took the gambling debt of the restaurant owner's son, and wanted to force him to sell Jiangyuelou to him for two hundred cents." Xiao Fan said disdainfully.

"What? I know Jiangyuelou. I have some business dealings with their boss. Even if the restaurant is sold at a low price, it is worth four or five hundred cents, right?" Su Jianger said in shock.

"Who said it was not? And the gambling debts owed by the young boss might be the traps they set up." Xiao Fan spat and said, "I can only use some despicable means and can't get on the table."

"Why do you care about so much? We'll just go on stage and destroy their majesty." Liu Sandao said indifferently.

"Okay, who do you think we are playing? I'm fine. Although Pan'er is good at equestrianism, he has never played polo before. Who else do you plan to play besides yourself?"

Xiao Fan was actually deliberately teasing himself as a cheap apprentice. After watching the game on the court, Xiao Fan's evaluation of this game was that the two teams were pecking at each other.

Not to mention anything else, even if you can’t control a horse when playing polo, how good is the ball skills?

"Then in this way, Master, you and your wife, plus us, are in a team of four, how about it?" Liu Sandao suggested.

Xiao Fan did not speak, but looked at Zhao Paner first, then looked at He Zhenwei again.

"I have no problem. I understand the rules of polo. And although I have never played polo, my Cuju is very powerful." Facing Xiao Fan's doubts, Zhao Paner showed his confidence.

"Don't look at me!" He Zhenwei was not happy either: "Who do you look down on? Although I am a scholar, I have also been trained with my wife. It is naturally no problem to have a polo."

"Okay, let's go to the end." Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Sandao happily ran to the stands where his aunt was, preparing to go to the back door to go to the lineup.

"I'll make you laugh, my wife is like this." He Zhenwei saw Liu Sandao running away in a hurry, and explained to everyone present.

"Madam Zun is true, free and generous, how can we make a joke?" Ouyang Xu immediately rescued the situation, and could only say that he is a social expert.

After saying that, he did not forget the purpose of coming today. Ouyang Xu took a painting from his old servant Uncle De and handed it directly to Zhao Paner.

"I thanked Mrs. Zhao for helping me on the banks of Qiantang River a few days ago. I didn't have much to do. I just heard that Mrs. Zhao likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, so I specially presented a picture of Li Jiancheng's "River Sail Tower Picture" to express my gratitude."

Zhao Paner looked at Xiao Fan after hearing this, and saw him nodding slightly before accepting the painting in Ouyang Xu and said, "I have admired this "Jiangfan Pavilion Picture" for a long time. Thank you Ouyang Official. I like this gift very much."

Although Ouyang Xu felt a little heartbroken, he still pretended to be careless and said, "It's good that Miss Zhao likes it, and it's not in vain for me to search."

Zhao Paner looked at Ouyang Xu, glanced at Song Yinzhang again, remembering that when he first came in, he saw Song Yinzhang and Ouyang Xu talking and laughing.

"By the way, I just saw that Ouyang Guanren and my sister-in-law were talking very speculatively. Did you know each other before?" Zhao Paner said in confusion.

"That's true. Xia and Madam Song had a chance to meet each other by chance. Later, I had a great conversation. I was quite sorry when I parted. I didn't expect to see her here again today. It was a fate!" Ouyang Xu sighed.

Zhao Paner was also sighing when he heard this and looked at Song Yinzhang inquiring.

"Actually, it was when I quarreled with Sister Pan'er that day. My carriage hit Ouyang Guanren on the street in Qiantang, and then I sent him to find a doctor." Song Yinzhang said embarrassedly.

"It's not actually because of Madam Song. I couldn't think of it and jumped into the river that day. Later, after being rescued by Madam Zhao, I was still in a daze. Then I was accidentally hit by a carriage while walking." Ouyang Xu said hurriedly.

"Okay, I didn't say anything, why are you anxious?" Zhao Pan'er smiled.
