My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

On March [-], almost half of the officials and eunuchs in the capital were invited to the Spring Festival Banquet hosted by the Second Young Lady of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ma family organizes this spring banquet every year, and it is also used as an experience for the female family members. The people in charge of organizing it are different every year. Like last year, it was Mrs. Ma, and this year, it is Mrs. Ma.

Playing polo is very popular in Beijing, so the Ma family will play polo every year at the Spring Festival Banquet.

But this year, the Second Young Madam Ma is even more lively. Unlike previous years, it is just a small game. This year, it is planning to hold a polo tournament, and there will be a lot of prizes.

This is hilarious.

The Ma family's racecourse is smaller, so the Ma family's Spring Festival Banquet this year will be held in Qiongfang Garden.

Qiongfang Garden is the private garden of Wan Yuanwai, a well-known rich and idle man in Beijing. It was handed down by the ancestors of the Wan family. The Wan family was also the mansion of the Duke three generations ago, but one generation is not as good as the previous generation. Well, he is a man who knows how to do business, but he has laid out his family fortune.

Wan Yuanwai spent money to donate to Yuanwailang, accumulated wealth in his hands, and lived a carefree life.

The Qiongfang Garden handed down from his ancestors, he also had brains, so he often rented it out to officials and eunuchs in Beijing to hold banquets.

Some noble families live with a large family and want to hold a bigger banquet, but they can’t make it happen, or the house is not visible, and there is no good scene. If not, they are willing to spend money to rent Qiongfang Garden to host the banquet.

This Qiongfang Garden occupies a lot of land, with rockery and flowing water, pavilions, pavilions, and nine-turn winding corridors. A big racecourse.

The Xu family received two posts, one was for Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, and the other was for County Lord Jiacheng.

Give this to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan can go, old man Xu and old lady Xu can go if they want to, including taking Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to see the excitement, it is no problem.

But old man Xu and the others are talking about Man Tingchun's storytelling, and they have to go there every day, and this Shangshu's mansion hosts a banquet, so these people, they are afraid of being uncomfortable when they go, so it's better to listen to it comfortably What about books?

Xu Yinyin didn't force her, she went to the banquet just to chat and laugh with others, eat and drink, and also deal with people, she was exhausted.

Both Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan couldn't think of going, but they had to.

This is a banquet held by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and I personally posted a post, if I don't go, it will be very bad.

Think of it as going to eat, drink and watch football.

Therefore, early in the morning, the family of three went out with their servants and two carriages to Qiongfang Garden.

Qiongfang Garden is in the outskirts of Beijing, so it is a good time to go out from Dongzhimen, and it took an hour to go all the way.

When they arrived at Qiongfang Garden, Xu Yinyin felt that she had almost digested the breakfast she ate, and her mouth was so noisy that she wanted to eat something again.

Second Young Master Ma and Mrs. Second Ma greeted the guests in person at the door. Seeing Xu Yinyin's family of three arrived, they treated each other warmly. Immediately, Second Young Master Ma led Xu Chunshan to Songmoxuan where the male guest was.

Second Young Madam Ma led Xu Yinyin and her daughter to Huiyue Pavilion where the female relatives lived.

Xu Chunshan is now the most sought-after Boss Zhongyi in the capital, he sacrificed his life to save him, and the emperor praised him endlessly, who would dare not have eyesight to get along with him?
Xu Yinyin was not worried about what would happen to him with the male guest.

As for them, when they arrived at Huiyue Pavilion, there were already quite a few people inside, Mrs. Dali Temple, Mrs. Hubu Shangshu, Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Shaoqing of Dali Temple, most of them were Xu Yinyin's acquaintances.

At the moment, they saluted each other and greeted each other, and sat down, and it was a joy.

Xu Yinyin didn't go among noble ladies, she just accompanied her mother to chat among a group of noble ladies, and she was more at ease and felt more at ease.

I ate two pieces of snacks and drank some honey water. Speaking of this, I have to say that the second young lady Ma who hosted the banquet was very appropriate. I knew about the plum appreciation banquet at the former commoner Zhu Xing's mansion. She doesn't drink tea, so this room is specially prepared honey water for her by the servant girl. It's so thoughtful, which makes people feel good about it.

After eating snacks and drinking tea, not long after, almost all the guests arrived, and Mrs. Ma Ershao came in with a hearty smile, and invited everyone to move to the racecourse to watch the polo match.

Of course, those who don't like watching polo can continue to drink tea and chat in this Huiyue Pavilion, and there will be someone from the Ma family to accompany them.

But the spring is sunny and sunny, neither hot nor cold, which is suitable for outdoor activities. Going out to enjoy the sunshine is more interesting than staying in this pavilion.

Therefore, everyone is going to the racecourse.

The big racecourse is separated by two walls, and we arrived there in a short walk. One side of the racecourse has already been well-arranged, and we have set up one by one viewing sheds, which contain drinks, snacks, melons and fruits, everything is available.

The viewing sheds are also carefully allocated. Whoever has a good relationship with whom will be arranged together, so naturally there will be no disharmony and staying together will spoil the atmosphere.

Xu Yinyin and Zhang Xiulan sat in the viewing shed with Wen's mother and daughter, surrounded by four chairs, the veil of the viewing shed was lightly raised, but their sight was not obstructed, so they could see the situation in the arena very well.

At the moment, the polo match is warming up. The participants are naturally invited guests. Anyone who wants to participate can participate. Men's competitions, women's competitions, and women's competitions are all different.

Xu Yinyin looked at Zheng Suyue who had changed into a riding outfit, and couldn't help but said, "Has Suyue made a name for herself?"

Zheng Suyue nodded, "Report, I'm on the same team as the county owner of Pingxiang, and we won't be in the fourth game."

As she spoke, Yaoyao pointed Xu Yinyin to the little girl over there wearing a felt hat of the same color as her, "Here, that's the county lord of Pingxiang."

Xu Yinyin looked over and saw that she was a young girl who was about the same age as Zheng Suyue, so she couldn't help laughing. It must have been arranged properly, and the comparison between girls and girls was also divided into ages.

Soon, the first group of competitions began. In this competition, the prize was a bow. It is said that it was the bow used by Jingyuanhou, the old man with great military exploits, when he was young.

These young men, who are good at martial arts, naturally don't want to miss such a good bow.

At the beginning of the game, the scene was very intense.

Zhang Xiulan can't understand polo, just like she couldn't understand basketball and football in her previous life. She doesn't like to watch it either, so she might as well watch opera and dance.

She yawned, pinched a snack and ate it slowly.

Xu Yinyin was interested in watching, but it's a pity that she doesn't know how to ride a horse, otherwise she would go up to have fun and experience it. Anyway, as long as she has a thick skin, who can laugh at her for not being able to fight well?
She thought about learning to ride a horse?It's just right that the breeze is not dry this spring, riding a horse galloping on the grass must be very refreshing.

Turning around to see her mother yawning boredly, Xu Yinyin couldn't help but smile, and saw a lot of people out of the shed, strolling there, it seemed that they were going to visit the garden, so she couldn't help saying: "Let's go to the garden , Sitting like this is boring, when Su Yue comes on stage, we will come back to cheer you on."

Mrs. Wen, who had visited Qiongfang Garden twice, knew that Xu Yinyin and the others hadn't visited before, so she nodded and said, "I'll go shopping with you."

"What about Suyue?" Xu Yinyin asked with her head turned.

Zheng Suyue said: "You guys go, I'll talk to the county magistrate of Pingxiang, remember to come back and watch me play later."

"Okay." Xu Yinyin agreed with a smile, and at that moment, she got up together with Wen Shi and Zhang Xiulan, went out of the shed, and went to the garden over there.
