Chapter 828 Playing Polo
Zhou Guo took a closer look and found it to be warm, smooth and fine, and it was obviously the finest white jade. He touched the ring on his finger and took it off. "I can't take advantage of you. Although my ring can't compare to yours, it's just a matter of luck."
There was already a stake in the game, and now the stakes for winning or losing have increased.
Everybody is excited.
In the past two years, Zhou Guo has become a celebrity among the upper-class families in the north and often appears in discussions among various families.
But he is a mysterious person. He never comes to any banquet even if you invite him. Now that he has finally come, he is so excited that he wants to play polo. Everyone is really looking forward to it and it's time to watch the show.
There were many people who secretly watched her make fun of her, all wanting to see her make a fool of herself. After all, if someone was too dazzling, it would be easy for others to envy her.
Zhou Guo was tied up with his arms and his body was destroyed.
She jumped onto the horse lightly, holding the polo pole, and said to the opponent casually: "First of all, I have never played polo before, so I have no skills and you have to give way to me."
Prince Wang smiled wryly and said, "Prince Zhou is such a capable person, polo must not be a difficult thing for you, what are you afraid of?"
As the whistle sounded, the two teams moved.
Zhou Guo had never played polo, but she was pretty good at horse riding and had great strength. She had also practiced hidden weapons for several years and her aim was pretty good. After watching for a while, she pulled the reins and waved the riding pole and joined in.
Seeing that the show had already begun but she was still standing there stupidly, many spectators couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
As expected, even if she was the general’s daughter, when it came to polo, she was no match for even the most ordinary disciples here, and she didn’t even dare to enter the field, which really brought shame to the general’s reputation.
The Zhou family was not worried at all.
Mr. Zhao frowned tightly, "I shouldn't have been on stage in the first place. Now I've made a fool of myself. What should I do?"
The old man said unhappily, "Who said it was a joke? Can't you look back? The ball hasn't even finished yet."
Zhou Guo entered the field with a polo pole in hand. Although the polo ball was small, it was much bigger than the stones she usually threw, and she hit it accurately with every shot.
He rode his horse past the crowd, got ahead of Prince Wang, and swung his club at lightning speed, scoring a goal.
This goal made the ladies off the field cheer uncontrollably, it was really a testament to Zhou Guo's superb horsemanship.
He held the reins and passed between the two horses. The pole hit the target accurately and went into the hole with one stroke. He was very graceful and elegant.
There was silence for a while, and then the boys and girls became happy.
Originally, their team should have included Young Master Yang, but unfortunately he injured his leg some time ago and it hasn't healed yet, and the young lady of the Yang family who was of marriageable age was not feeling well, so the only one left as the leader was Young Master Zheng, but Young Master Zheng also injured his leg.
They didn't dare to offend the Wang family, and their skills were not as good as theirs. They originally wanted to come up to play with them, but they didn't expect Zhou Guo to show such a skill. Now they had hope of winning, so they were very happy.
Young Master Wang on the opposite side had an unhappy expression on his face and suspected that Zhou Guo did it on purpose.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master Wang, for letting me score a goal by accident."
After she scored another goal, things got worse.
Rich families love to use this kind of ghostly trick. Several people followed her closely and surrounded her tightly. As long as she stretched out her pole, these people's poles would hit her pole intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, they would not let her stretch out her pole or get close to the ball.
Zhou Guo glanced and saw from the corner of her eye that there was a man riding a horse rushing towards her from behind. She tightened her grip on the reins and rushed out with the horse at the moment the man rushed towards her. The man next to her was affected and fell off the horse.
She turned her horse's head, looked at the ball rushing towards her from the air, swung the club accurately, and at the same time pulled up the reins, and the horse under her crotch leaped over the man.
The ball went in the hole!!
There was thunderous applause from the audience, what a great move!
The young ladies blushed with excitement. Compared with her, the prince was nothing.
"Is Miss Zhou really a young lady? I want to marry her!!"
"Me too. Does she have any brothers or sisters at home? It would be fine if they look like her. They are so pretty!"
The young ladies were very excited, and the adults present were also surprised.
Those who looked down on him at first shut their mouths. Didn’t he say that they had never fought? It doesn’t look like that. Sure enough, he is better at being humble than them. Such words cannot be believed.
The Wang family glared fiercely at the people on the field, feeling completely embarrassed.
As soon as the game was over, the head of the Wang family left the field.
No one took it seriously. The Wang family was the most powerful family in the North, and most of the time, they didn't take people like them seriously.
The results were no surprise.
Zhou Guole happily held the prize that Prince Wang lost to her. It was really a good thing and she could make a lot of money if she sold it.
Looking at Prince Wang's livid face, she smiled and said, "Prince Wang, thank you for letting me win. I won't be polite about this prize."
Of course she also got the ring back.
This ring is hard to find, and it is very difficult to find such a small one. She really doesn't want to give it away.
Prince Wang bowed his hands and walked away with a sour face.
Zhou Guo laughed.
Several young ladies and gentlemen on the same team congratulated her and asked her all kinds of questions. She felt proud today.
But some people were afraid of offending the Wang family and left quietly.
Zhou Guo was very happy at this moment. After greeting them, he walked to his tent and said to the old man and his group, "Playing polo is really exciting and fun. Let's hold one ourselves next time."
Zhou Su nodded happily, "Okay, I want to learn too."
We are all boys, who doesn’t like riding horses?
Even the old man wants to try it out, as he has never played it in his life.
The old man smiled and said, "I think it's okay. There is a field on our farm that is just right for playing polo. We can invite a few families and play by ourselves."
The ball will be over.
The Yang family escorted them to the door.
Madam Yang smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at polo. You are really as good as men. You have won a lot of honor for us women. Your demeanor on the field is like that of a general. It really is a family tradition."
Now that Zhou Dacang is also a general, it is correct to say so.
Lee was cheerfully modest.
Only Zhou Guo knew what she said in secret. For the first time, he felt guilty, but he kept smiling calmly.
What should she say when the general finds out about this?
Zhou Guo made his first official appearance in front of a wealthy family in the North and won applause from the whole audience.
From then on, girls in the north all wore men's clothes.
She imitated Zhou Guo, wearing a white dress, a jade hairpin in her bun, a golden belt around her waist, and gently waving a folding fan.
No one will laugh at men who dress like this and think they are neither male nor female anymore, because all the young ladies dress like this.
Some girls were like those suffering from lovesickness. Thinking of how high-spirited Zhou Guo was on the court, their faces turned slightly red. They secretly hated Zhou Guo for not being a man and how a man like that could be a young lady.
