Chapter 864: Talk “trash” first(1/2)

 After having the idea, Sheng Changbai also took action.

After he was released from the government, he also socialized frequently. In addition to expressing his gratitude to relatives and friends who had helped the Sheng family before.

Sheng Changbai also frequently got together with several noble disciples who had a good relationship with him.

One of them is the Tiger Wing Left Army of Uncle Zhongqin who is the deputy commander of the capital, and is the younger brother of the commander of the capital.

Although Uncle Zhongqin has no actual rights and only serves in name in the Tiger Wing Army, he still needs to respect his immediate superiors.

Using his status as a boss, he sent two concubines to Uncle Zhongqin.

Even if she is just a concubine, the people of Earl Zhongqin's Mansion should show her some respect.

You can't just look at the concubine's status as a concubine, but you must also look at the face of the person's immediate boss.

It is impossible for Madam Zhongqin to bully her easily, nor to send people away casually.

The two of them can stay quietly in the back house of the Yuan family and enjoy a life of fine clothing and fine food.

Even if the Earl's Mansion is a shabby residence among nobles, it is still luxurious compared to the homes of ordinary people.

No matter what, Hua Lan is the one who spends the money in the Yuan family's inner house. If two concubines enter the house, they will definitely not be treated badly materially.

After making arrangements for the Yuan family, it was time for Mrs. Wu to hold the ball club.

After attending the ball club and having breakfast, it was time to set off. After all, the location where Mrs. Wu held the event was not close to the countryside, so it would take a long time to get out of the city.

When the brothers and sisters were gathering at the door, Sheng Changbai discovered that Sheng Laosan had also come out.

"Sanlang, have you recovered from your injury? Are you in such a hurry to go out?"

"Okay, it's done." Sheng Laosan jumped twice to express.

Sheng Changbai originally thought that Sheng Changfeng would not be able to go out for a short time after suffering the mixed doubles match between Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong.

I didn't expect that Sheng Laosan was not only fine physically, but also mentally. He still liked to go out and have fun.

At the age of second grade, children are mentally healthy. Even if they are taught a lesson, it will not stop them from yearning for freedom.

"Ms. Wu has organized such a large-scale ball club. Since our family has been invited, Third Brother's time is convenient, so of course he has to go and attend such a grand event."

Mo Lan, who was wearing a bright blue skirt and dressed up in a fancy way, followed Chang Feng and said.

Mo Lan's clothes have always been more delicate, and she was greatly influenced by Lin Zoshuang's clothes.

"That's fine in the past, but when it comes to the ball, Sanlang, please be more careful in your speech and behavior. Don't come closer to the noble disciples when you see them again."

Sheng Changbai said this to Sheng Changfeng, but it was Mo Lan who really wanted to remind him.

This little sister doesn't know how to be reserved at all. When she sees a noble child from a good family, she wants to pounce on him.



The man rode a horse and the woman rode a car, heading south and out of Bianliang.

It took me more than an hour to arrive at the event venue, as I walked and watched.

The handsome horses in the city are just like the supercars in urban areas in later generations. They can't run or pick up speed.

With a carriage and servants on foot, it was even faster to go out.

But when you go out to play, you have this peaceful state of mind, and there is no need to rush.

This golf course outside the city is next to a plum grove and a peach grove. At this time, the plum blossoms have just faded and the peach blossoms are beginning to bloom. It is really a good place to play in early spring.

When the Sheng family arrived, many people were already on the court.

Some people have already started playing polo matches.

Sheng Changbai took his younger brothers and sisters and greeted Mrs. Wu.

I went to rest under the pergola arranged by Mrs. Wu.

Because the Sheng family's status is really not high compared to these nobles and royal relatives.

The shed where the Sheng family rested was already at the corner, far away from Madam Wu's shed.

This low-key location suits Changbai's liking.

It is far away from the C position, not attracting attention, and far enough away from those high doors.

Even if Mo Lan wanted to show off in front of those noble ladies and distinguished disciples, it would be inconvenient to be too far away.

"Let's sit down and have some fruit and tea and take a rest. Playing polo is also physical work."

After saying that, Sheng Changbai sat down and watched the football match.

You can eat, drink, and watch, and you can feel a little bit like watching the stadium in later generations.

"Second brother, I saw Sister Yanran. I went to find Sister Yanran."

"Second brother, I saw Sister Li's coming."

The first one was Minglan. Rulan saw her familiar best friend and ran out to look for someone.

"Second brother, I have also gone to find some senior brothers." Sheng Changfeng also couldn't wait.

"Go and remember why you were punished by your father a few days ago."

"Second brother, I'm going to the peach grove to enjoy the peach blossoms." Mo Lan's purpose of going out this time was very clear, which was to socialize more and show off more of herself. Of course, she couldn't just watch the football with peace of mind.

"Xu San, arrange for a few more people to follow the fourth girl. Going out is not as good as at home. You still have to take care of your safety."

Sheng Changbai arranged for Mo Lan to have several strong women and nursing staff to follow him and have private contact with the men, so Mo Lan stopped having this idea.

The few kids left, and Sheng Changbai watched the game with peace of mind.

Because polo requires horseback riding, it is actually more intense and technical than Cuju, and the game is actually more exciting.

But because if you want to play polo, you must first have a horse. For the people of the Zhou Dynasty who did not have land to raise horses, the threshold for this sport was obviously too high.

It is far inferior to simple Cuju. You can play it with a ball. It is easier to popularize and more people can participate in it.

So at this time, whether it is considered a national sport or Cuju.

"Zecheng, haven't you always participated in such occasions? Why did you come here?" When Sheng Changbai was already interested, Gu Tingye ran over.

It is impossible for Gu Tingye, who is eager to get married, not to actively participate in such a large-scale event with the meaning of meeting each other.

After failing the examination, he was deprived of the imperial examination qualification by the old emperor and had no goals.

During this period of time, Gu Tingye was thinking about how to find a legal wife all day long.

When he wanted to find a real wife, he didn't really want to start a family. It was just for convenience that he brought his concubine Mannian and a pair of illegitimate children into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

"It's just a day off and I have nothing to do, so I came to this suburb for an outing. It's such a rare opportunity. If you don't see which noble girl is suitable for you, why are you looking for me in this remote place?"

"There's nothing interesting to see. There are so many noble ladies here, and there's no one I haven't seen. I saw you coming today, so I came over to have a chat with you."

Gu Tingye can be said to have considered the noble family and the women of his age.

The marriage between nobles and nobles, and the marriage between civil servants and civil servants, is an old tradition of well-matched families.

For example, when Yuan Wenshao married Hua Lan, it was because the Yuan family was in decline and he could not marry a well-matched daughter from an honorable family.

Only then did he find the daughter of a low-level civil servant like the Sheng family.

Civil servants look down on nobles. Even nobles have inherited titles and have been rich for many generations. They also look down on civil servants.

Unlike ordinary military attachés, who are completely at the bottom of the contempt chain, nobles with titles still have some capital and can despise each other with civilian officials.

"Okay, let's talk about it. The road to the imperial examination is dead. Have you decided what to do in the future?"

"Let's do this for now. The most important thing for me now is to get married as soon as possible."

Backed by the status of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he inherited a large area of ​​​​salt estate and assets from his maternal grandfather.

Gu Tingye has status and money at a young age. If he doesn't have any ambitions, he really has nothing to pursue.

The downline of Xungui's children is too high, and there is no pressure to survive. It is not surprising that Xungui can breed so many wastes.

Even those who do not have a title to inherit can still ask the emperor for a title.

Ask for an empty honorary position and receive a salary from the court.

When you are divided from the house, you will get a share of the family property. If you don't live a luxurious life, it will be enough to live without worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Of course, since they are trash among the nobles, a little family property and a salary are definitely not enough for these people to waste their fortune.

But since they are all backed by the Bo's Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion, they don't have to worry about having no place to suck blood.

"Second brother, can you come here?"

When Sheng Changbai and Gu Tingye were not chatting, Minglan took Yu Yanran to the steps of the shed.

"Zhong Huai, Sixth Sister asked me to come over. There may be something going on. You should go back to your place first. I have taken care of it, and I will go over to your place to find you."

Now that these two girls are here, Gu Tingye needs to be sent away quickly.

Gu Tingye is quite dangerous to these two girls.

"Zecheng, do you need help?" Gu Tingye was quite loyal.

"It shouldn't be necessary. If they come to me, it must be something I can solve. It's not convenient for too many people to know about their girl's affairs. I can just go there alone."
