Chapter 117 The Polo Club

After drinking several soups and medicines, Miss Lu ordered her to rest in bed for two days. On the third day, Wen Shu's wind and cold had recovered.

Miss Lu was invited outside the city to participate in the polo club led by the richest man in Cangzhou today. Early in the morning, the courtyard started to move.

Yinhong and Luliu were busy matching clothes and jewelry for Lu Xingwan, and Cook Wang also got up early to work in the kitchen.

Wen Shu was locked in the room for two days, so she would never miss this opportunity to join in the fun. After washing up, she hurried to the main room, and told Miss Lu that she wanted to go too.

"No, the racecourse is very windy, and your illness is just right, so don't let the wind blow." Miss Lu shook her head and refused.

"It's okay." Wen Shu turned around on the spot, "Look, big girl, I'm not alive and well now. It's really boring to be locked up in the room for two days. Just let me go with you." Saying, He tugged at her sleeve coquettishly.

Moved by her pitiful expression, Miss Lu was about to waver when Dr. Zhuang's words flashed in her mind, and she sighed softly, "It's okay to go, but you must wear tight clothes. I don't want to wear spring shirts like Yinhong and the others. You also have to wrap a square towel.”

"Yeah, yeah." Wen Shu nodded again and again,
There is a lot of fun to watch, she would agree to anything, and for some reason, she was a little afraid of the cold when she woke up this time, and she didn't feel hot even in winter clothes.

But Yinhong and the others were clearly still wearing spring shirts, so it wasn't that the weather had suddenly become colder, but that she had become colder alone.

How is this going?

Is it because the effect of the fruit can only last for a few days?
And because she ate it one day earlier than Yinhong and the others, she also expired one day earlier?
Just as he was guessing wildly, he saw the little girl next to Mrs. Wang come over and say that breakfast was ready, and asked the eldest girl if she would pass on the meal now.

Miss Lu nodded, and after a while, Cook Wang brought in the breakfast with the two little girls.

A small pot of shredded chicken noodles, a plate of steamed buns with sugar, plus a pancake of fried golden flowers and five slices of cooked meat pancakes is the breakfast for five people in the house.Because they were going out today, Nanny Chen and the others also ate together in the house.

After a hasty breakfast, Miss Lu dressed appropriately and led the crowd to the main hall of the front yard.

The Chu family invited not only Miss Lu, but everyone in the Li family.To be honest, if Li's House hadn't been invited, no one would have invited her alone, so she had to wait for Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li to go together when they were ready.

The venue of the polo club is located in Shili City outside the North City Gate, which is the self-operated horse farm of the Chu family.Every spring and autumn, the Chu family will take the lead in holding a racecourse meeting, and those who can be invited are all famous and prestigious families in the city.

It is said that it is a polo club, but it is actually a venue for unmarried men and women to see in disguise, and because there are elders present, they will not be criticized.

The two wives of the Li family also attached great importance to it, because each of them had a son under their names who hadn't married yet. They just took this opportunity to see the young ladies of the right age and get to know each other better.

Miss Lu had a long-standing engagement, so she didn't go there to see each other, but to join in the fun and catch up with her former sisters along the way.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the front hall. The eldest wife of the Li family, the second wife, the third son Li Song, and the fourth son Li Tong all arrived.

The two ladies exchanged a few words with Lu Xingwan, and then led the crowd to the gate.

A row of cars and horses stopped outside the door, Wen Shu followed Miss Lu and Nanny Chen into the car, while Lu Liu and Yin Hong took the car behind.

When the carriage drove to the city gate, you could see the carriages of other houses in front and behind, which looked like a long winding line.

Wen Shu felt bored in the car, so he poked his head out to see the scenery after a while.Unexpectedly, not long after sticking out its head, a red horse galloped from behind.If she hadn't pulled her hair back so fast, she would have almost bumped into each other.

"Who, riding so fast, you are not afraid of bumping into people!" There was a faint complaint from the front.

Immediately after hearing the third son Li said speechlessly: "Who else can there be, that little overlord of the Chu family, Chu Xin."

"No one cares about this child." Mrs. Li sighed worriedly: "There are so many cars and horses on this road, what if I bump into someone?"

Hearing this, Second Young Master Li smiled a little awkwardly: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much, the little bully doesn't say anything else, he still passes the test in riding, and even I am willing to bow down."

"You still have the face to say it." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li became angry, pointed at him and scolded: "There is still one thing that you can do, and you, which one can you do, Wen No, no, no, I think there will be a little lady who will fall in love with you."

Why did he talk about him again in such a good way, Li Song was slightly taken aback, what a disaster!

He was dissatisfied, but it was not appropriate to talk back in front of so many people, so he could only sigh, and then he put his legs between the horse's belly and ran to the front.

Fourth Young Master Li saw it, it's over, he should run quickly, otherwise his mother should come out and reprimand him in a while.

The person who was scolded ran away, Mrs. Li had no choice but to swallow the second half of the sentence and put down the curtain.

Wen Shu watched from behind and laughed, the eldest lady of the Li family and the two gentlemen are really interesting!It's very similar to her dad's training her and her reaction!

It's just that as soon as the thought passed, the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart surged up again.

I don't know what happened to Dad alone at home?Did you miss her?Does your back still hurt?Without her to cook, I don't know if I will stop eating to save trouble.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't hold back that longing. I turned around and asked Lu Xingwan who was playing chess with Nanny Chen: "Miss, when are we going back?"

Lu Xingwan had a meal, then raised his head and smiled, "I'm homesick."

Wen Shu didn't hide it, and nodded repeatedly.

"Hurry up, stay for two more days, if grandma is all right, we will go back."

"Really." Wen Shu's eyes lit up.

Lu Xingwan smiled and said: "It's not true." After speaking, his expression was a little lonely.Miss Wen wants to go back to Beijing because there are people she loves and people who love her in Beijing.

But what about her.
My mother died young, and my father didn't like it. Although my brother loves her, he is busy with court affairs, and it is rare to see her on weekdays.

Only her grandmother watched her grow up, and she wanted to be with her all her life, but it was a pity that Cangzhou was not her home.

After driving for another quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at Shilipo Racecourse.

Looking around, the endless prairie can hardly be seen, which made Wen Shu, a Tokyo city dweller with a population of one million, stare straight at him.

When I came to this kind of place and saw this kind of scene where the grass meets the sky, even if I was sad, I could be washed away by the beauty of the vast sea and sky.

A row of fences surrounded the entrance of the racecourse. At this time, all the carriages stopped outside the fences, and the wives and girls had to get out of the carriages and walk in.

Wen Shu helped Miss Lu get out of the car, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.Not for anything else, just because there are only two of them in the audience.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket.
