Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 321 The 9-Year-Old, Brainless Adopted Daughter 23

Royal Estate, Polo Field.

When the second half of the exhibition match resumed, Lü Shuo was already on his carriage heading back to the palace. He was bitter inside, but could only magnanimously announce that the match would continue. The good reputation he had earned from the polo tournament had to be maintained to some extent to preserve the spectator experience.

Accompanying Lü Shuo back to the palace were Sheng Ze and others.

The third and fourth brothers were naturally unable to continue competing, and they were escorted back to Beijing for investigation.

Mu Ying was unable to continue the competition, feeling somewhat apprehensive and guilty. Then, when it was her turn to care for the emperor, an accident occurred, and the entire Mu family accompanied her back to the palace.

Thus, only six players remained on the field. Moreover, the red team was unbalanced with four players, while the blue team had two.

This person cannot be easily categorized.

It's not that lending you one is enough; it involves the money that many people have bet on.

For example, the Blue Team initially had many promising players, but now only Fu Yu and Huo Pan remain. Even with good skills, without support, Huo Pan is likely to be led around by Fei Liangcai, leaving Fu Yu without any passing options. Xia Youmi is already as good as Fu Yu in a one-on-one situation, not to mention he has three well-coordinated teammates with him.

He agreed, but the audience didn't.

Currently, only the Blue Team, which has a slightly stronger roster on paper, can be accepted by others.

Xia Youmi stood with her arms crossed next to Gu Xin'e and Wang Yuhuan, accepting the gender-segregated arrangement.

But Fei Liangcai, standing in the middle, looked awkward.

If he were to suggest going over there, and he lost, he would definitely be the one ridiculed the most.

Over the years, Fei Liangcai had become accustomed to being humiliated by the princess, and he was still somewhat unhappy about the past.

Fu Yu stood ramrod straight. In a normal match, he might have simply stopped playing. But today was his last appearance before entering the military camp. He couldn't simply leave because of the need to promote the polo event.

This relates to military spending and the potential of cavalrymen.

The decision-making power for the competition rests with the top ten members and the referees.

Their meeting proceeded quickly, and the results were relayed among the audience. Xia Youmi and Gu Xin'ang from the Red Team remained unchanged, as did Fu Yu and Huo Pan from the Blue Team. One of Wang Yuhuan and Fei Liangcai would be randomly assigned to the Blue Team.

They invited Empress Dowager Li Wanran to play, and as a result, the three beauties stayed on the red team.

In addition,

Each person has one opportunity to change their bet. Fixed odds will no longer be used. After the change is completed, the number at the end of the fluctuation period will be the final result.

The entire audience was in agreement.

Lan Xiu was extremely worried about this result, fearing that too many people would favor the Red Team, causing the originally expected high returns to shrink.

Fortunately and unfortunately, most people actually favored the blue team to win.

Although Xia Youmi had performed well just now, Gu Xin'ong had even received a ball.

However, Fu Yu's bravery and Fei Liangcai's resourcefulness were also noticed by many.

The three female players on the red team only had bets placed by supporters from their families and a few people who wanted to chase higher prices.

Those who do not intend to make changes are taking a break between sessions.

There were also people holding trays, serving delicious snacks to the waiting audience. Most of the snacks were exquisite and kept their hands clean. There were also people selling small gourds engraved with the "Shuili" logo, which contained thirst-quenching tea.

The remaining people waited orderly at the betting area.

Gu Xinyan took the pocket money from the maid, thinking she would miss this great opportunity to join in the fun. Who would have thought she would encounter Reboot?

"Five hundred taels, Red Team!" a calm voice rang out.

Gu Xinyan, who was standing behind her friend, was startled and quickly looked towards the registration desk. Unexpectedly, the person speaking was Wen Chenghe's maid, and the two even nodded and smiled at each other.

"Chenghe, why didn't you choose the blue team? My grandfather and second aunt both said to buy the blue team." Gu Xinyan was a little puzzled.

Before coming, she specifically asked the Gu family members, and apart from Gu Ningyao who didn't say anything, everyone else said it was the Blue Team.

Even though the polo club sisters I know are quite wealthy, I can't afford to waste money.

but,

Wen Chenghe did not refute or offer any rational analysis. She smiled and said, "Xinyan, I don't really care about winning or losing money. I just see that the red team is all women, so I'm hoping they will win."

“Well, but… then I also…” Gu Xinyan hesitated, just about to stay with her sister.

Then Wen Chenghe chuckled and said, "Xinyan, don't worry about it. It's just for fun. You don't need to worry too much."

This is to tell Gu Xinyan not to stop earning money just to take care of her sisters' feelings.

"I, Cheng He, believe in you." Gu Xinyan instructed her maid to take out some pocket money and said to the betting station, "Fifty taels, Red Team."

The maid was somewhat unwilling. She had originally hoped to make a little money by following the Duke, but now, although the total amount bet was small, she had lost fifty taels.

But there were people waiting behind her, so the maid had no choice but to do as she was told.

"Let's go! Xinyan, let's cheer for the Red Team together!"

"it is good!"

After they left, some noble ladies also increased their bets on the red team, based on the reasons Wen Chenghe had given.

It's not about chasing high prices or following the trend.

Instead, they trusted the woman this once, believing that the princess, who had won so many matches, could win her over.

This little incident brought the odds for the Red Team back up a bit, but it still couldn't break the huge gap.

Wen Chenghe was merely adding the annotation on Lan Xiu's orders.

The reason given was something that was often instilled in their professional team during their training with Bletilla striata.

Wen Chenghe was not the daughter of a wealthy family.

In the past, the mistress was the true young lady. As a servant born into the household, she was given the surname Wen, and her given name was He. People would call her Little He Miao. The Wen family was not from the capital, but a prominent family in Jiangnan.

It was the kind with the strictest rules; even a maid like her had to learn etiquette and accompany her mistress in her studies.

Later, the mistress was to be married off to a family that was clearly a den of thieves and tigers. However, the mistress's elders would not allow the marriage to be called off, as it would bring shame upon the noble family.

Having learned that her fiancé was cruel and tormented the maids for his amusement, Miss Wen returned the indentures of all her dowry servants before her marriage. She also instructed them to leave when she got married and arranged for each of them to receive a reward.

Wen He was grateful for his master's kindness and specially wanted to kowtow to him when his master returned home.

So they didn't follow the crowds to make a living.

Unexpectedly, she received news that she had hanged herself in her son-in-law's room on their wedding night.

The fact that such a blatant method exposed the sordid conflict between the two families deeply saddened Wen He.

Later, upon learning that women's polo had become popular in the capital, Wen He wanted to give it a try. Her master had once mentioned that he wanted to ride freely and unrestrained, rather than be confined like a bird in a cage.

Wen He wanted to fulfill his master's wish.

She was strong and lucky enough to be recruited by the Shuizhu New Field team.

Unfortunately, she was too clumsy and always overthought things when she went on stage. Like Miss Wen, she had never learned horseback riding. She always fell over and was eventually asked to quit by the trainer. However, thanks to the etiquette she learned from her master, she was still chosen to play a young lady who could simply watch the ball games all day.

Wen He changed her name to Wen Chenghe and completed her hard-won job to the best of her ability.

She spends all her time interacting with girls who are about the same age as the young lady she once was.

They were full of energy.

He was obsessed with polo and was not disciplined.

She thought, how wonderful it would be if her master could live like this.
