Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 6 The Tent for Honored Officials and Their Family at the Polo Grounds
  At the turn of spring and summer, Xu Zaijing, led by his mother, accompanied his brothers and sisters to Mrs. Wu's polo ground in the outer city.

In Xu Zaijing's view, the polo ground was a large social gathering place for nobles in the capital.

It is also a blind date meeting for young men and women.

Each has its own circle.

There are high and low distinctions in honor and rank, and there are many in-laws;

Official dependents also have various relationships between superiors and subordinates, peers, teachers and students.

Groups of people gather together based on relationships.

on the polo field
  Outstanding performance sometimes attracts the attention of noble female officials in the capital, and they may lead to an enviable good relationship.

It may also be like Qi Heng, the young master of Qi in Xu Zaijing's memory, who was favored by many noble ladies because of his outstanding talents. It is difficult to judge how it is.

Tall horses galloped past the stadium, the sound was booming, and drummers beat drums to celebrate after a goal was scored, but the atmosphere was thrilling.

By the huge paddock,
  Every family has a large tent.

Only one side of the tent faces the court, and the other three sides cannot be seen inside.

The female officials and their family members could relax in the tent and talk in low voices, applauding and applauding, but no one would make fun of them if they screamed loudly.

The concubines of various families are not so restrained. When they see a good ball, they can stand on the side of the court and cheer loudly.

The weather was neither cold nor hot. Under the tent of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Bai was sitting on the couch with a big belly, her right hand wrapped around Xu Zaijing who was sitting on the chair.

Bai's face was full of smiles. Xu Zaijing was wearing a white inner coat and a dark blue silk robe on the outside. The robe was embroidered with silver-white flowered unicorn patterns.

An older boy was holding Bai's left hand for a hug.

"Mom, I am your biological child, why are you always holding him?"

These words made the female relatives under the tent smile.

"Mom, please hug me!"

Xu Zaijing knew that this was Gu Tingye.

He was kind and handed the cake in his hand to Gu Tingye, but Gu Tingye didn't ask for it.

"Get up quickly and let your mother hold me. My mother wants to hold me!"

"Brother Ye, Brother Jing is a guest when he comes to our tent. Of course, we need to take good care of him." Mother Chang said with a smile.

Inside the tent, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old did not smile. Although the narrow-legged brocade coat with gold threads and silver butterfly standing flowers she was wearing was luxurious, it was a bit old, and even the jewelry on her head was pitiful.

In the corner of the tent, she hugged the boy in her arms and said softly: "Yu'er, have you seen it? She is not your biological mother. It was because of her that your mother was abandoned by your father and eventually became depressed. He died. She was the murderer of your mother."

"Auntie, are you telling the truth? But Bai's mother treats me very well."

"Brother Yu, your aunt is your mother's biological sister. She is the person who loves you the most in the world. How could she lie to you!" the female messenger next to the girl said softly.

In the cheerful atmosphere under the tent, the laughter of the women obscured the conversation between the two men.

The boy, who was thin and sallow, but had dark and translucent eyes, showed a confused look.

Mrs. Sun, who came down from the polo field, was taking off her green shirt, with a slight sweat on her forehead. She came to the tent of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and saw her youngest son eating cakes attentively next to Mrs. Bai.

"Sister, I'm really troubling you. This month, the little monkey will start crying if he doesn't find you. You've been pregnant for almost nine months, and you're still being harassed by this little monkey from time to time."

Bai looked at Xu Zaijing, who was eating cakes quietly beside her, and said with a smile in her eyes:

"Sister, it's okay, Brother Jing and I are destined.

Today I really wanted to go to the garden with Chang’s mother, but Chang’s mother said that Brother Jing was here and wanted me to watch you play polo, so I came over in the family carriage to have a look.

No, it just so happens that Mr. Hou is taking a break today and is also playing ball in the men's paddock over there. "

Mrs. Sun looked at her son and said, "Little monkey, you haven't come here yet." Mrs. Sun was wearing an embroidered jersey that was convenient for playing polo. She handed the collared shirt to Xiaozhu beside her, but she did not go to pick it up in front of Mrs. Bai. Xu Zaijing, instead stood not far away and let Xu Zaijing walk over by himself.

A little boy of five or six years old next to Gu Tingye followed behind Bai after he put Xu Zaijing down, and he was quite protective.

Sun's eyes were filled with admiration, and she looked at Bai with some doubts.

"This is Xiao Er Ting Ye's little boy Zhi Que."

Sun hugged Xu Zaijing and glanced at Xiaozhu beside her.

Xiaozhu took out a small silver cake with one hand and held the little boy with the other hand.
  "Little brother, please walk slowly. This is a thank you gift from my eldest wife."

Then he put the silver cake into the hands of the boy named Zhique.

The boy looked back at Bai and Gu Tingye, and when no one said anything to stop him, he took it in his hand.

He bowed politely.

"Thank you, madam, for the reward."

In front of everyone, Mrs. Sun smiled slightly, looked at Mrs. Bai and said

"Madam, Madam Wu is pregnant and can't let it go. I'll go and stay with her. You're about to be pregnant this month, so you'd better be more careful."

Bai's eyes were still a little reluctant, and she nodded with a smile.

"Sister, go by yourself. I have a plan in mind. My father-in-law has also sent several midwives who have been around for a long time, and they are here with me today."

"Then I'll be relieved. You, everything else is fine. Even the mother of this little monkey in our family is more like me than me. His aunt is jealous of you. She says he treats you more affectionately than his own aunt."

"Brother Jing and I are destined."

Bai replied with a smile in his eyes.

Sun and his party left the tent with a smile.

Bai Shi looked around the tent and saw the girl in the crowd hugging Gu Tingyu. She knew that she was Miss Qin Er, the biological sister of the deceased Mrs. Qin. After nodding in greeting, Bai Shi waved to Gu Tingyu.

The second girl Qin had a loving smile on her face, and there was no trace of what she had just said. She let go of Gu Tingyu's hand and pushed Gu Tingyu towards Bai.

Afterwards, she knelt down and bowed, and looked at Bai, who was once again surrounded by her relatives and women. There was an unknown look in her eyes, and then she stood up and left.

At this time, Gu Tingye squeezed out from the crowd, not knowing what he was going to do.

Miss Qin pretended not to notice and left from behind the tent. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Tingye following him, and there was a boy behind her.

She pretended to stop, and when Gu Tingye came to her side, she squatted down, seemed to be sorting her clothes, and whispered: "Those who robbed my things, I'd better push them into the water and teach them a lesson."

Then she pretended that nothing happened and left leisurely with the support of the female maid beside her.

Gu Tingye's small body stopped for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

The tents of the Duke of Qi's mansion are more luxurious than those of the Gu family.
  A woman with a serious expression and an air of nobility in her movements sat behind the table.

She was on the thin side, and although the people next to the tent couldn't see her, she didn't relax because no one was watching.

She looked at the thundering horses and listened to the bustling voices of the noble officials and their families.

Her brows were furrowed, and her mind was obviously not on the polo field.

The personal female officer on the side said softly

"Princess, please drink some tea."

The woman took the tea cup. Although the tea cup was made of porcelain, it was burnt to give it the feeling of jade. It was obviously a set of expensive tea sets.
