Chapter 2363 Meeting
Zhao Liulang found a way to earn money for himself, and he felt refreshed. He didn't care much about the money he bet today. As a result, Xicao and Xicong competed this time. Xicong took the lead and won the championship, successfully keeping the twenty taels for him and winning the bet.
Zhao Liulang was delighted and immediately said to them, "I'm happy today, I'll treat you to some lamb!"
There is roasted lamb at the horse farm, the kind that is served whole.
So they returned to their seats and a servant from the stable brought over a freshly roasted lamb, and the cook who followed considerately sliced the lamb for them.
Zheng was very curious, but before she had time to eat, many ladies and young ladies from the horse farm came over.
Originally they didn't know Zhou Man was here, but after five consecutive races, they found out after asking the people at the racecourse.
Now that they knew about it, they naturally came over to say hello. So the lady of this family came over, and the lady of that family also came with her daughter. Manbao knew some of the people and some he didn't. However, Zheng had gotten to know more people in the past two years as she had followed the old lady to social events in the capital.
Then the two sides exchanged greetings.
Those who came to say hello were related to Zhou Man naturally because their husbands or fathers and brothers served in the same court as her, but some came because they had some relationship with the Bai family.
There were too many women coming over, and Bai Shan was squeezed into the corner in an instant, then squeezed out from the corner, and then squeezed from the outside to a position further to the side.
Several people huddled there and looked at the door that was blocked tightly. There was a screen behind this place, and bamboo mats on both sides. So there were too many people. When the people on the left and right sides saw this, they simply had the curtains rolled up and gave their seats to this group of women. They also followed Bai Shan and the others and squeezed into a corner of the corner.
Several big men and small men looked at each other and laughed.
Bai Shan first bowed and apologized to them, after all, he had taken up their good seat because of their family.
The two families didn't seem to mind, and said with a smile, "County Master Bai is too polite. Lord Zhou has a miraculous hand in bringing people back to health, so it's only natural that he's popular in the capital. This isn't a bad thing, and it's our honor to give up our seats to you ladies."
Bai Shan glanced at his mother, Manbao, and Zhou Liru, who were surrounded in the middle. He felt that they wouldn't be able to get out for a while, so he simply invited the guests on both sides and said, "How about we find another place to sit? I'll buy you all a drink."
Zhao Liulang smiled and said, "Let's go to our place. It's spacious there too."
Everyone had no objection, so they went over.
Zhao Liulang's status meant he was destined for a good position. Unfortunately, it was right next to Su Jian's. As soon as he entered, Lu Yue, who had stayed inside, rushed over with a smile. Seeing Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, his smile paused, but he immediately smiled again and complained to Zhao Liulang, "You guys are finally back. You told me to stay here to check on the situation while you went to see the beauty next door. What took you so long to come back?"
Then he greeted Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, "We haven't seen each other for almost a year. Why didn't you treat us all to a drink after returning from your meritorious service in the Western Regions?"
In fact, only a few close ones were invited, such as Feng Zongping, Yi Ziyang and Zhao Liulang. The rest had little affection for each other, and even if they did, they were not on good terms with each other, so they were naturally not invited.
However, Bai Shan didn't say anything. He just bowed and apologized repeatedly, and said with a smile: "We came back at the wrong time. It was just the New Year. Not only were we busy, but everyone was busy too. That's why we didn't invite anyone. When the Mingjing exam is over, we will definitely treat everyone properly."
"That's right," Bai Erlang pulled Liu Huan as an excuse, "He still has exams to take, so he doesn't have time to drink with us right now."
Lu Yue complained in his heart, he didn't have time to drink, but he had time to come to the horse farm to play?
Zhao Liulang was in high spirits today, so he waved his hand and ordered a lot of food and wine. Seeing that the fight was still going on below, he asked Lu Yue, "Is it not over yet?"
Lu Yue: "It's almost time. They're tied. Yu Jiang won the second game again. So many people placed bets, so the game was extended for a quarter of an hour. I think Yu Jiang's victory is a bit uncertain. Look, the ball is in the hands of Wei Fengyuan and the others."
Zhao Liulang was not very happy, but Ma Run was very happy. However, he just grinned and did not show it very much.
At that moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed. The ball in Wei Fengyuan's hand was snatched away by Yu Jiang's men. With a high shot, the ball flew over their heads. Yu Jiang rode over quickly, caught it with a shot, and ran forward a few steps with the ball, dodging several horses that were chasing him. Then, with a wave of his hand, he hit the ball directly, and it flew into the goal...
Many people in the stands cheered. Zhao Liulang was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table and shouted, "Good shot!"
At the same time, a loud shout came from not far away. "Damn it, how is Wei Fengyuan playing? Is he sleeping right now? The ball in his hand was even snatched away by someone else. Ouch..."
"What's up? What's up? You're still watching polo at this hour. Just be quiet and see the doctor."
Zhao Liulang thought the voice sounded familiar, so he pulled up the bamboo curtain and looked over there, saying to the person next door, "Oh, it's the young master of the Cui family. Pull the curtain over there."
Mr. Cui and the others sitting next to him glanced at Zhao Liulang, and the leader said, "No need to look, the person next to him is Young Master Su."
Although he said that, Master Cui still asked his servants to roll up the curtain, and then the people in the three positions could speak openly to each other.
Bai Shan saw Su Jian, who was sitting in his seat with cold sweat, and... Doctor Ding, who was sitting next to him!
Bai Shan blinked, and Doctor Ding also blinked.
Bai Shan became worried. Could it be that Su Jian’s old illness had really relapsed?
Doctor Ding withdrew his hand and said, "Young Master has an upset stomach. He should avoid meat and alcohol. I will prescribe another prescription for him."
Su Jian snorted and asked him, "I just have a stomachache, not a relapse of my old illness?"
More than ten people in three positions all looked at Doctor Ding in unison.
Doctor Ding felt a bit stressed, but he nodded and said, "Yes, you have an upset stomach. Young Master, it's the season of change now, and there are many gastrointestinal problems in spring. You are not in good health, so you should pay attention to your diet."
Doctor Ding looked at the wine on the table, and then smelled the scent of powder on Su Jian's body. He couldn't help but say tactfully: "You need to get more rest so that your body can be better nourished."
Su Jian turned his head to look at the neighbor next door, said "Hey" to Bai Shan, and asked, "Did you write the last two words on the little note that just came over?"
There were two types of handwriting on the note, and Su Jian had seen memorials from Zhou Man and others at the prince's place. Although there was no comparison, the two people's handwriting styles were different, so it was easy to recognize them.
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes, the young master is not in good health, so it is better to follow the doctor's advice."
See you at 6pm
