Chapter 80 Polo
Ming Huashang thought about the fact that she had originally intended to give the sachet to Su Xingzhi today, and she felt a little guilty. She chuckled twice and said, "Second brother is both a scholar and a warrior, and he is a handsome man. Naturally, everything he has is worth being unique."
Ming Huazhang stroked his purse with his fingers, his eyelashes drooped, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen clearly. He said slowly: "Shang Shang is also unique in my heart. I just don't know, am I unique in your heart?"
Ming Huashang found that since the night when they had a bad conversation, Ming Huazhang's attitude became more and more strange and aggressive. Ming Huashang was not sure whether he did it on purpose or she was just being sentimental. She said vaguely, "I only have one brother, my second brother, so of course he is unique."
Ming Huashang silently added in her heart that Ming Huazhang was her only one in the first sixteen years, and Su Xingzhi was her only brother after she returned to the Su family, so there was nothing wrong with it. She just forgot to mention a prerequisite, how could it be considered a lie?
Ming Huazhang finally felt relieved. He put down the book, stood up and said, "I feel relieved to see you return safely. It's getting late, go to bed."
After that, he paused and said, "Shang Shang, remember what you said today. I don't want to compete with Ren Yao, but at least, I can't let other men surpass me."
Ming Huachang looked up and accidentally met Ming Huazhang's eyes. One of them was standing and the other was sitting, Ming Huazhang was looking down, the candlelight cast a shadow on him, his eyes were hidden in the semi-darkness, moist and deep, the light was calm, and it seemed very ambiguous.
That strange feeling came back. Ming Huachang inexplicably felt that Ming Huazhang was like a hunting cat. After seeing the prey, he would guard it without eating it, and poke at it with his claws. He would not eat it, but he would not allow the prey to leave him. She paused, smiled, stood up, and agreed without much concern: "Okay. Goodbye, second brother."
After Ming Huashang stood up, she could see his eyes more clearly. They were crystal clear, black and white, as if the previous glance was just an illusion. She saw Ming Huazhang out, and as soon as she reached the door, Ming Huazhang asked her to stop. After telling her the time to pay respects tomorrow, he turned around and walked into the autumn breeze.
Ming Huashang had been playing all day and was already tired. She quickly put the previous conversation behind her, washed up, and went to sleep.
The next day, Ming Huazhang went with her to pay her respects. As expected, old lady Ming was in a bad mood, but with Ming Huazhang around, it was inconvenient for the old lady to lose her temper. She could only scold Ming Huashang a few words with a cold face and asked her to copy some books to calm her down.
Ming Huachang was in a good mood and was not really bothered by being scolded, but Ming Huazhang could not stand it. Ming Huazhang could not openly blame the old lady, so he went to Ming Huachang's yard in private and brought her a lot of compensation. The Duke of Zhenguo was also worried that his daughter was upset, so he bought new things from outside to cheer her up.
Ming Huachang had the latest food delivered to her every day, all kinds of toys to play with, and she could stay at home without leaving the house. She was living the life she had always dreamed of. She pretended to copy a few pages of the rules for women, and then she ate and slept as she pleased.
After lying down for a few days, news came from the palace that the empress was going to play polo with the newly-minted Jinshi and royal relatives. Ming Huashang had to struggle to get up, put on her clothes, and go to Furong Garden for the banquet.
Polo, also known as Jiju, was all the rage. This sport requires sitting on a horse and hitting a fist-sized ball. It tests both riding skills and teamwork. It is highly competitive and entertaining. It is the favorite sport of the royal family and nobles, second only to hunting. Taizong once used it as a military training project, and later Gaozong and the empress also attached great importance to it. the polo match for new Jinshi.
This was naturally a kind of grand demeanor. Even the top scholars who had gone through long examinations and layers of screening were all versatile talents who could play ball on horseback and draw a bow on foot. The newly-appointed scholars played polo in the royal garden in front of the people of Chang'an. This was not only a way to have fun with the people and show their talents to the superiors, but also a threat to the surrounding vassal states.
The empress was getting older and it was time for the empire to change its successor, so it was particularly important to show the power of the country. This was the first time the empress had shown her martial virtues after returning to Chang'an. She attached great importance to it. Not only did she go out of the palace to watch the game in person, but she also brought the crown prince, the prince of Xiang, the prince of Liang and other princes and princesses of Li and Wu with her. She also opened the Furong Garden that day and allowed the people to enter and exit freely.
The palace was so full of excitement that other officials and nobles also became busy. The gentlemen hurriedly practiced horse riding, planning to surprise everyone on the day of the competition, and the ladies also bought new clothes and skirts like spinning tops, looking forward to the garden tour with joy, hoping that they could find a good partner.
Ming Huashang had no interest in these things, but Madam Ming was very serious about it, and the second and third wives were desperate to dress up their daughters. For a time, the prices of Chang'an's horses, rouge, and powder soared, and the merchants in the East and West markets competed to launch new products, with each one shouting louder than the last. In the midst of this national carnival, the day of the polo match arrived.
Ming Huashang followed her elders and sisters out of the house. It was no surprise that Chang'an was once again jammed with traffic. Ming Huashang opened the curtains. In front of her were neatly dressed servants wearing all kinds of family crests, shouting at each other and refusing to give in. Looking back, there were also BMWs and luxury cars, and there was no end in sight. wait. I can't move for a while."
Ming Huashang and Ming Shuo were in the same car. Ming Shuo was checking her makeup for the umpteenth time. She caught a glimpse of Ming Huashang fanning herself without any image, sneered, and said sarcastically, "You have no manners when sitting. It's not decent."
Ming Huashang leaned against the carriage, fanning herself with a round fan. If she hadn't been concerned about the crowd, she would have unbuttoned her collar to get some fresh air. She looked at Ming Shuo, who was wearing three layers of thick and gorgeous clothes, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you hot?"
Ming Shuo snorted, her neck turning red from her depression, but she still held her neck high and said, "Today is a big day. We have a new Jinshi in our family. I don't know how many ladies have been paying attention to our family along the way. Maybe he will even meet the princess in a while. How can I be unruly?"
Ming Huashang tutted her words and asked, "So what does this have to do with the heat? If you go to see the princess, will the sun be lenient towards you?"
"You!" Ming Shuo was furious. He glared at Ming Huashang angrily and raised his head and said, "Summer insects cannot talk about ice. I have nothing to say to you."
Ming Huashang shrugged, also thinking that there was no point in talking. The closer they got to Furong Garden, the slower the carriage moved. Ming Huashang opened the curtains to let in some air. She saw a stall selling cold drinks on the side of the road, so she called Zhaocai over and whispered, "Ask the stall how much cold drinks are on sale. If the price is right, buy as much as you want and bring them back to our car."
Ming Shuo had been eavesdropping when he heard Ming Huashang asking someone to buy some drinks. He was angry and looked down on her: "You are such a useless person. The garden is full of nobles and their families, and you are still thinking about food? Aren't you afraid of losing face in front of the nobles?"
There were endless banquets of various names in the capital. In order to maintain their appearance, the young ladies would not eat or drink anything before the banquets. Some even went on a diet three or four days in advance.
Ming Huashang leaned one arm on the car window, slowly waving a round fan, and said leisurely: "My silly sister, eating and drinking are the most important things in life. As long as there is food and drink, there is nothing to worry about. If there is nothing to eat and drink, even the king of heaven will come and it will be useless."
Ming Shuo sneered at this, looking down on this cousin who had a superior status but did not make progress and only knew how to eat and drink. The legitimate daughter of the Duke should have been the face of the Duke's Mansion, but such a heavy responsibility fell on Ming Huashang, which was a waste of talent and the heavens were blind.
The carriage team moved very slowly, but fortunately this place was very close to Hibiscus Garden. After half an hour, Ming Huashang finally stood in Hibiscus Garden.
Ming Huazhang, as one of the protagonists today, did not act with the Zhenguo Mansion, but entered the palace early and will come to Furong Garden with the Empress, the Crown Prince and others.
Madam Ming regarded this appearance as her life. In her opinion, Ming Huazhang's success in winning the second place was a good sign for the Ming family's comeback. She must seize today's opportunity to reopen the social circle of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It would be best if she could use her granddaughters to make some good marriages to pave the way for Ming Huazhang's future career.
Ming Huashang followed the elders obediently. On the way from the parking lot to the polo field, Mrs. Ming stopped more than ten times, constantly greeting other noble ladies and looking at each other. Ming Huashang pretended to smile shyly and waited in boredom. Finally, she arrived at the polo field, which was already filled with elegant people and fragrant air.
The royal family had not yet arrived, and the ladies were scattered around socializing, with constant laughter. Because of Ming Huazhang, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion had become quite popular during this period. As soon as the old lady Ming appeared, she attracted a lot of attention. Many ladies took the initiative to bring their daughters to greet them, and asked about Ming Huazhang's marriage openly and secretly.
When the wife of the Minister of Personnel, Mrs. Wu, came over with her daughter, everyone in the Ming family was surprised. The wrinkles on Mrs. Ming's face were all smiling. She took the other lady's hand and looked at her left and right, and asked, "Ms. Wu is so pretty. What kind of books do you usually read?"
Miss Wu lowered her head, with a gentle and coy expression that was just right: "I am a dull girl, and I have only read the "Book of Filial Piety", "Zuo Zhuan" and "Wenxuan".
Old Madam Ming was more satisfied after hearing this. The Minister of Personnel was in charge of the promotion of court personnel and was the head of the six ministries. The imperial examinations were so turbulent, but in fact, passing the imperial examinations only gave one the qualification to be an official. Whether one would be granted an official position and what position one would be granted depended on the selection and evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel.
With the title of Zhenguogong Mansion, the Ministry of Personnel would not refuse to grant Ming Huazhang an official position. However, the court was full of deep connections, and the position one was assigned to almost determined his upper limit in the future. It can be said that Ming Huazhang's future official career was entirely in the hands of the Minister of Personnel.
The wife of the Minister of Personnel, Mrs. Wu, took the initiative to come to the Ming family, which made the old lady Ming feel flattered. How many young men in the capital would be happy to marry the daughter of the Minister of Personnel? And this young lady was also favored by her father and read men's books. If she was married home, why would Ming Huazhang not be able to get a good job?
Madam Ming looked at Miss Wu with an increasingly loving gaze. She patted Miss Wu's hand affectionately and said to Madam Wu with a smile, "The young lady is intelligent, studious, gentle and virtuous. Madam, you are so lucky."
Mrs. Wu laughed, "She has been spoiled by her father and is like a naughty monkey. The old lady is really praising her."
Madam Ming and Madam Wu smiled at each other and spoke in a tacit understanding. Ming Huashang was standing behind Madam Ming. When she heard these words, she felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her face, and the chill ran through her blood vessels and into her heart.
Of course she understood what Madam Ming and Madam Wu meant. Madam Wu took a liking to Ming Huazhang and wanted to marry him, and Madam Ming was very happy to see it happen.
Yes, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, what a good match. Ming Huashang felt as if someone was choking her and she felt suffocated but had no way to release it.
Ming Huazhang was a lady of elegant appearance, and Shangshu's daughter was a kind and virtuous woman. Anyone would think they were a perfect match, and she didn't even have the qualifications to be unhappy.
After Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ming exchanged greetings, they noticed a young lady standing in the team. She had a well-proportioned figure, and wore a goose-yellow jacket, a pomegranate-red skirt, and a lake-blue shawl tied around her shoulders. Her colors were bright and beautiful. She was not like the young ladies nowadays who pursued a pitiful and delicate look. She looked healthy and natural.
Mrs. Wu looked at her face carefully. She had an oval face, a beautiful nose, a red mouth, and big, round almond eyes. She had a bright and blessed appearance. But her eyes were like a deer in the deep forest, clear and lively. When she looked at people, she was full of affection and hesitant to speak. In an instant, she added a lot of spirit. Just like a blooming tricolor peony, beautiful but not dull, rich but not vulgar.
Madam Wu was secretly amazed. She had long known that there was a promising young man in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Ming Huazhang was already a famous talent when he was in Luoyang, and was as famous as Xie Jichuan of the Xie family of Chen County. Now both of them had passed the imperial examination and became Jinshi, which was truly a wonderful story.
It is rare to find a handsome and ambitious young man, not to mention Ming Huazhang, who is a clean-minded man who never goes to places of entertainment and does not even have a concubine. In addition, his biological mother died early, and the Duke of Zhenguo has been concentrating on educating his son in recent years and has never remarried. This kind of family education is even more rare. Therefore, both Minister Wu and Madam Wu are very satisfied with Ming Huazhang.
Before coming here today, Madam Wu had intended to inquire about the situation in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but she didn't know that there was such a beautiful lady in the mansion.
Mrs. Wu was surprised and alert. She asked with a smile, "This young lady is unfamiliar. She is..."
Madam Ming glanced back and said, "Oh, this is my second granddaughter, Erlang's biological sister. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam."
Ming Huachang didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to her, so she smiled and bowed to greet him. Mrs. Wu vaguely remembered that Ming Huazhang seemed to be a twin, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that this is Erlang's twin sister?"
"That's exactly her."
Mrs. Wu let out a breath of relief, and her smile became more genuine. She pulled Ming Huashang closer to look at her. Even Miss Wu became more enthusiastic after hearing that Ming Huashang was Ming Huazhang's sister. She changed her attitude of treating her as invisible and spoke to her in a friendly manner.
When Ming Huashang was touched by Miss Wu, she almost instinctively pulled her hand away. She tried her best to keep smiling, just listening without saying anything, and smiling no matter what she asked. Sure enough, after a while, Miss Wu couldn't continue the conversation and let go of her hand in dismay.
Old Madam Ming was really angry when she saw Ming Huashang's wooden look. Fortunately, she had two smart granddaughters, Ming Yu and Ming Shuo. Seeing the opportunity, they immediately took the initiative and squeezed Ming Huashang out without saying a word.
In her heart, Ming Yu laughed at Ming Hua Shang for being stupid and not knowing how to build a good relationship with the Shangshu's daughter and future sister-in-law. However, Ming Hua Shang was relieved. She acted as an invisible person behind the old lady for a while, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she whispered to the third lady, "Third aunt, I'm going to change my clothes."
The Third Lady was busy trying to make friends with the Shangshu's wife, so she just nodded casually without even turning her head. Ming Huashang left the team silently, and Zhaocai followed her, asking in confusion, "Madam, why did you come out?"
Looking around, everywhere were noble ladies chatting and laughing quietly and ladies from wealthy families dressed to the nines, all busy socializing. Ming Huashang walked quickly through this bustling world of fame and fortune and said calmly, "They are a bunch of masked people, none of them tell the truth, it's boring."
"Ah?" Zhaocai was surprised and a little anxious, and quickly chased after Ming Huashang, "But my lady, you are going to get married. You don't have a mother to arrange your marriage, and you don't get to know those noble ladies, so how are you going to get married?"
"I am a nun now, so I don't need to talk about marriage." Ming Huashang seemed to be in a particularly bad mood, and said coldly, "Besides, marriage is not like eating and drinking. If I don't get married, will I die?"
Zhaocai looked at Ming Huashang in surprise. In the past, no matter how big the matter was, Ming Huashang was always calm and could even comfort the maids. Zhaocai had followed Ming Huashang for so many years, but this was the first time he saw her lose her temper.
Ming Huashang realized that she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath and quickly regained control of her emotions. She said, "The weather is too hot. I am getting irritated by the sun. Zhaocai, go get me a cold drink from the car. I am thirsty."
"Ah?" Zhaocai's face was complicated, hesitant to speak, "Madam, there are so many officials and their wives here, do you want a cold drink?"
"What else?" Ming Huashang glanced at her in surprise, her eyes clear and innocent. "Does drinking water at a banquet violate the law?"
Zhaocai was speechless, crossed his arms and turned away silently. Ming Huashang casually glanced at the scene, his eyes suddenly stopped, and said to Zhaocai: "Bring two cups over."
After sending Zhaocai away, Ming Huashang felt relaxed and slowly walked towards the edge of the polo field.
Outside the polo field stood a woman, she was slender and graceful, wearing a fashionable skirt, but the color was a little plain. She avoided the crowd from a distance, stood at the edge of the polo field and looked into the distance, the wind lifted her tea-white skirt, as if she was about to fly in the wind.
Ming Huashang recognized Su Yuji at a glance. Ming Huashang really didn't want to go back to listen to her grandmother and the Shangshu's wife discuss Ming Huazhang's marriage. In comparison, it would be better to go and talk to the real daughter.
Today, her brother's polo match took place, so Su Yuji rushed to Furong Garden early in the morning. However, she was very disappointed after arriving. These wives of officials who looked gentle and kind, but were actually more snobbish than anyone else... let's not talk about them.
Su Yuji found a secluded place to catch some fresh air. If it weren't for Su Xingzhi, she would have turned around and left. She was staring at the empty polo field when a smiling voice suddenly came from behind her: "Madam Su."
Su Yuji turned around in surprise and saw the person coming. She was surprised and alert: "Why is it you?"
"It's me." Ming Huashang jumped to Su Yuji's side with a smile and said, "Are you here to watch the polo match too? It's probably going to start in a while. The sun is so hot, let's go sit in the shade."
Su Yuji looked at Ming Huashang and was quite speechless. Are all these young ladies from noble families so indifferent when socializing? Are they familiar with each other, so Ming Huashang invited her?
Su Yuji said calmly, "No, thank you. I have to wait for my brother here. I am afraid I cannot accept Madam Ming's kindness."
Ming Huashang seemed to not understand Su Yuji's implication, and continued to smile and said, "I'm going to wait for my brother too, let's go together. I haven't congratulated your brother on winning the top prize yet, but when he was paraded in the streets that day, Su the top prize was so stunning."
It is not advisable to extend a hand to a smiling person. Ming Huachang took the initiative, so Su Yuji could not remain silent. He could only nod and thank him: "Thank you very much. My brother told me that Ming Huazhang and Xie Jichuan are the truly talented people. He was somewhat lucky to win the championship."
"It's great to win the exam. How can there be so many luck in this world?" Ming Huashang asked with a smile, "Can Su Zhuangyuan play polo? How is his riding skill? Can he defend his title today?"
Su Yuji looked at Ming Huashang silently. She was really scary. Su Yuji couldn't help but doubt their relationship. Su Yuji said, "Brother, your riding skills are OK, but polo is a team sport. Whether you can win depends on the team."
"That's right." Ming Huashang nodded and said, "Although Su Zhuangyuan is very powerful, I still bet on my second brother to win."
Su Yuji looked at her speechlessly: "It's up to you."
She hadn't expected Ming Huachang to side with them, had she? Anyway, she knew Su Xingzhi well, and no matter what, in her heart, Su Xingzhi was the best.
After this conversation, Su Yuji became a little more familiar with Ming Huashang. They had met in Zhongnan Mountain, and now they met in the crowded Furong Garden, which was considered a rare acquaintance. There were a lot of people around, and no one paid attention to them. Ming Huashang suddenly asked: "That day in Tianxiang Tower, you deliberately knocked down the clothes drying pole, right?"
Su Yuji glanced at him calmly and said, "I have never been to Tianxianglou, so I don't know what you are talking about."
He always concealed his identity and whereabouts, and was a qualified Xuanxiao Guard. Ming Huashang nodded, stopped asking questions, and said softly, "Thank you."
Su Yuji still ignored her. At this time, Zhaocai came over with two glasses of cold drinks. She searched for a long time and finally found Ming Huashang. She ran over breathlessly and said, "Madam, why are you standing here? It's hard for me to find you."
Ming Huashang turned around and saw Zhaocai, and waved with a smile: "Zhaocai, come over and meet Madam Su."
Su Yuji was slightly startled when she heard the name, thinking she had heard it wrongly. Zhaocai thought this was a lady from a noble family, so he followed the instructions and said, "I am here to see you, Madam."
Ming Huashang took the cold drink from Zhaocai and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhaocai. Go take a rest in the shade. You don't need to follow me here."
Zhaocai was also a young girl of seventeen or eighteen. It was a rare opportunity for her to come to the beautiful Furong Garden, so how could she not want to look around? She hesitated: "But my wife..."
"I'm an adult now, it's fine for me to stay here for a while." Ming Huashang said generously, "Go ahead, if grandma asks, just say I asked you to leave, don't worry."
Zhaocai said no more, crossed his arms and ran away happily. Su Yuji looked at Ming Huashang and the maid, and to be honest, she was a little surprised.
Her grandmother had been a maid in a wealthy family, and she knew very well that in the eyes of those ladies, maids were not considered human beings at all, and they were supposed to be loyal, tireless, and protect their masters from disasters. Especially on such an important occasion as today, no lady would let a maid go out to play.
But Ming Huashang and the maid got along casually and naturally, not like master and servant, but more like... friends of equal status.
Su Yuji looked at Ming Huashang with a complicated look. Ming Huashang handed her a cold drink and said, "It's been so long, the ice inside has melted a little, just drink it."
Su Yuji didn't take it. Ming Huashang raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid that I'll poison you? Or why don't you give me this cup instead?"
Su Yuji was increasingly confused about this woman. She was born into a wealthy family, but she had an easygoing and cheerful personality; it was rumored that she was very lazy and had studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting for more than ten years but still had not mastered a single skill, but she could quickly find the murderer and read through the files counted in boxes.
Su Yuji was confused. What kind of person was this? Which one was true, the one in the rumors or the one Su Yuji saw?
Ming Huachang was about to change to iced drinks, but unexpectedly Su Yuji reached out to take it without checking whether it was poisonous. She lowered her head and took a sip, then asked, "I heard that you are the only daughter of the Duke of Zhen. Your father has been holding you in his palm since you were a child, and he never gave you anything you wanted. As a result, you have been spoiled into a fool. You can't play chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, or women's sewing. But you insisted on running ten laps on the mountain. Why?"
Seeing Su Yuji so straightforward, Ming Huashang also smiled, holding an iced drink and said absentmindedly: "Maybe it's because I didn't learn calligraphy, painting, needlework and sewing for myself, but to find a good husband. If that's the case, then why should I work hard? A wrapped gift trying to paint itself to make itself more valuable?"
Su Yuji raised an eyebrow and looked at her profile for a long time. Ming Huashang turned around and touched her face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Yuji shook her head, looked ahead, and after a while whispered, "You are nothing like what I imagined."
"Oh?" Ming Huashang raised her eyebrows, "Then what do you think I should be like?"
"I don't know either." Su Yuji said, "Looking at your appearance, I always think you are a very pampered person. You were pampered by your father and brothers before you got married, and you will be pampered by your husband in the future. You should be the kind of noblewoman who is lazy and doesn't know how to grow crops. I really didn't expect you to say such a thing."
Ming Huashang smiled, lowered her head and took a big sip of black plum ice drink: "I feel it, you are telling the truth."
The autumn heat was still fierce. The two of them stood in the fame and fortune market of Chang'an, surrounded by the voices of the noble ladies who were "lazy and ignorant of the five grains" as Su Yuji said. After drinking half a cup of black plum ice drink, the relationship between the two seemed to have subtly changed.
Su Yuji asked: "I just heard you call your maid Zhaocai. Which Zhaocai?"
"Zhaocai means to bring in wealth and fortune." Ming Huashang smiled proudly and said, "This is a good name!"
Su Yuji was speechless. It turned out to be these two words. She said in disgust, "Why don't you call it Jixiang Ruyi?"
Ming Huashang clapped her hands, feeling like she had met a soulmate: "My other two maids are indeed named Jixiang Ruyi!"
Su Yuji choked up and was speechless for a long time before saying, "You really are..."
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind on the field. Ming Huashang was talking to Su Yuji with his back to the polo field. Su Yuji saw the colorful ball coming from behind, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly pulled Ming Huashang away.
Loud and low screams of surprise rang out all around. Ming Huashang had no idea what was happening and was pulled away by Su Yuji as she staggered.
A gust of wind passed over her head, and the air flow made the tassels jingle. Ming Huashang was unsteady on her feet and almost fell backwards. Suddenly, a force came from behind and held her arm steadily.
Ming Huashang looked up in astonishment and saw Ming Huazhang appeared behind her, catching the ball that almost hit her with his other hand. Ming Huazhang's eyes were like cold stars, and his face was extremely cold. He gently tossed the ball up, picked up a crescent-shaped staff from the side, and turned the crescent-shaped staff violently when the ball fell, hitting the polo ball hard. The ball attacked the instigator with the momentum of thousands of troops.
