Chapter 1120, Princess Chun'an, who was biased by the story 1

   The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

  The goshawk spreads its wings in the air, and the horses run wildly on the ground. Xiao Keyan loves this vast and vast land very much.

  Xiliang in June, with lush water plants and flocks of cattle and horses, the annual horse racing conference is quietly approaching in the expectation of everyone.

  Ganzhou Prefecture.

   The backyard of the prefect.

  Dong Jingyi had just helped her mother go back to her yard after finishing her work, when a thumb-sized Dongzhu attacked from the side.

  Xiliang is a borderland. Although there have been no wars in these years, the unrestrained folk customs have made the girls here less restrained and a little more heroic and heroic. In addition, they have to herd horses and sheep.

   Dongzhu came, and Dong Jingyi quickly and decisively stretched out her hand, caught Dongzhu accurately and stably, then turned around and looked in the direction where Dongzhu came.

   Seeing the girl in red on the wall playing with Dongzhu with one hand on her hips, Dong Jingyi immediately smiled: "Princess, when did you return to Xiliang?"

  Xiao Keyan put away Dongzhu, jumped off the wall neatly, and came to Dong Jingyi with a smile: "It's been a few days since I came back, I just arrived in Ganzhou today."

  Dong Jingyi was very familiar with Xiao Keyan: "Where's the prince and princess, are they back too?"

   Xiao Keyan nodded: "I'm back, but they are still in Liangdu, I'll come to Ganzhou first."

  Dong Jingyi smiled: "The princess must have wanted to come to the horse racing conference in advance, right?"

More than ten years ago, King Weiyuan held the first horse race meeting at Gandan Military Horse Farm in order to review the riding and archery skills of the soldiers of the Twelve Army. The month will be held as scheduled.

  In the beginning, only the soldiers from the towns of the Twelve Army and the frontier participated in the horse racing conference. Later, the people also participated enthusiastically, and even now, the horse racing conference has become a grand gathering for the military and civilians of Xiliang to revel together.

   Now that June has just entered, people from all over Xiliang have already arrived in Ganzhou one after another. It can be said that Ganzhou in June and July is more lively than the Chinese New Year.

   Xiao Keyan admitted with a smile: "I have been running around with my parents all these years. I haven't been in Xiliang for many years. This year, I finally caught up with the horse racing conference. Of course, I have to have fun."

Dong Jingyi smiled and said: "The prince and princess are not here, the princess must live in my house, my father is still in the yamen, when he comes back to see you, he will be very happy, let's go, let's go to see my grandmother and Mother."

   Xiao Keyan smiled and nodded, and followed Dong Xinran to see Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong.

   In the Dong family, Xiao Keyan didn't mean to be polite, there was no way, their family and the Dong family were too familiar, as long as her father visited Ganzhou when she was a child, she would definitely keep up with it, and she had been familiar with the Dong family for a long time.

   Sure enough, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong were very happy to see Xiao Keyan. Dong Yuanxuan learned that Xiao Keyan was coming, and he left the office ahead of time. Everyone sat around the old lady's room and chatted.

   Mrs. Dong asked with a smile, "I heard that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"

   Hearing this, Xiao Keyan immediately smiled and squinted: "Yes, my eldest brother treasures my sister-in-law, and my grandfather doesn't let me go to my sister-in-law to play, which is annoying."

  Dong Jingyi: "By the way, why didn't the young master come back?"

   Xiao Keyan immediately showed a schadenfreude smile: "He was called back to Taohua Village by Grandpa Huang. Since his sister-in-law was pregnant, everyone was urging him to get married quickly."

  Dong Yuanxuan: "Is the old man in good health?"

  Xiao Keyan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I can still plant medicinal herbs in the ground." After speaking, he paused, "But the old ancestor is over ninety years old, and his body is still not as good as before."

Having said this, Xiao Keyan showed sympathy: "The ancestors must have wanted to watch my younger brother marry and have children, this time even the emperor's grandfather was dispatched, I see, my younger brother may not be able to bear the pressure this time, maybe it's down. The next time I go to Peach Blossom Village, I really have a sister-in-law."

  Dong Jingyi: "My little grandfather is eighteen this year, so it's time to get married."

   Xiao Keyan didn't answer this. She and her younger brother are twins. If they should get married when they are eighteen, shouldn't she also get married?

  Thinking of this, Xiao Keyan really felt melancholy.

   Although the princess is not worried about marriage, but she is too old, it seems that it is not good?

  Don't say it, she really has to think about it, this time back to Xiliang, her parents and parents mentioned the marriage in front of her several times.

   Xiao Keyan stayed at Dong's house with peace of mind.

   The next day, Dong Yuanyao, who received the news, brought her daughter Sun Lanxin to Dong's house, and the mother and daughter held Xiao Keyan and talked for a while.

  Dong Jingyi: "Grandmother, mother, aunt, I'll take the princess and Lan Xin around the city."

Mrs. Dong knew that Xiao Keyan had not been in Xiliang for a long time, and now it was when she wanted to take a look, so she did not stop her, but called the eldest grandson Dong Zhenghua and asked him to accompany the three girls out: "During this time, the Ganzhou government staff It's very mixed, remember to protect Keyan and them."

   Dong Zhenghua replied with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I will protect my sister and them."

   Mrs. Dong took the lead in releasing him.

   Watching the three girls go out talking and laughing, Dong Yuanyao looked a little embarrassed: "Looking at them, I can't help but think of the scene when I was young and Yiyi played together in Zhongzhou."

   Mrs. Dong also sighed a little: "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, your children are all married and established."

  Dong Yuanyao: "Isn't it? I don't know how long Yiyi and the others can stay this time. If we haven't seen each other, I have to have a good chat with her."

   "The prince and concubine came here, it was a good reception." Mrs. Dong was very grateful to Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, and it was thanks to their help that the Dong family was able to recover again.

   Although his son has been the prefect of the fourth rank all these years, his position in power is not lower than that of the third rank.

  Ganzhou is the largest government in Xiliang, and the largest military horse farm in Daxia is built here. In addition, the largest mutual market in Xiliang is also in Ganzhou. It can be said that the real power in the hands of the son is much greater than that of those who participate in politics.

   When calling for military horses, both the frontier army chief and the commander have to be polite to their sons.

  The son can always sit firmly in the position of the prefect of Ganzhou, thanks to the support of King Weiyuan.

  Since Xiao Yeyang defeated Xiliao, Xiliang was no longer devastated by war. In addition, the establishment of a branch office and the promotion and cultivation of high-yield grains made Xiliang no longer as barren and desolate as it once was.

The opening of the    mutual market has attracted a large number of Western merchants to flock in. As soon as Xiao Keyan and his party left the city gate, they saw a camel team of many Western merchants.

   "Ganzhou is getting more and more lively!" Seeing the long queue to enter the city, Xiao Keyan couldn't help sighing.

  Dong Jingyi smiled and said, "There are not too many people in normal times. Isn't this just in time for the horse racing convention? Come on, I'll take you to see the assembly square that my father set out the year before."

   said, grabbed Xiao Keyan and Sun Lanxin and ran forward.

   Dong Zhenghua saw it, so he had to rush to chase after him with the servant girl: "Be careful, don't run around."

As the horse racing conference is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people come to Ganzhou, and people with flexible minds see business opportunities. Every time in June and July, some merchants and common people will bring fur, medicinal materials and other agricultural products with them. Animal husbandry products come to Ganzhou for exchange and sales.

   In this way, small gatherings were formed.

   After knowing this, Dong Yuanxuan, in order to facilitate management, set aside a place outside the city of Ganzhou as a meeting square, so that merchants and common people can have a fixed place to trade with confidence.

   The horse racing convention has not yet started, but the assembly square is already crowded with people.

  Crowds of common people and businessmen gathered around the square and set up various tents on the green grassland around the square.

  Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi, and Sun Lanxin were happily strolling around the square, and they would come over and ask about anything interesting, fun, or something they had never seen before.

   Just as the three of them were in high spirits, there were bursts of clamor and applause from the crowd.

   "Quick, someone is fighting on the arena in the center of the square."

   Hearing this, Xiao Keyan's eyes lit up, pulling Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin to the center of the square with the crowd.

"boom!"

On the    arena, a young man wearing only a white shirt easily knocked down his opponent with a sweep of his legs.

   Watching his opponent fall, the man shook his head in disappointment, his head was slightly raised, and he smiled.

   That smile, three points of arrogance, three points of unrestrainedness, and four points of domineering self-confidence.

   "Come again!"

   The young man roared in a deep voice and swept towards the crowd below.

  Men are unwilling to admit defeat, and immediately some men jumped into the ring to challenge.

   In the crowd, Xiao Keyan looked at the young man on the ring who was crushing again with admiration: "This man's martial arts are very good!"

  Dong Jingyi took over the words: "Not only is his martial arts good, but his looks are also good."

Xiao Keyan showed his approval. This person is tall, strong and powerful, with a bit of roughness in his sturdyness, and a bit of wildness in his arrogance. He is a very eye-catching person. No wonder the girls around him are staring at them. follow him.

"boom!"

   On the stage, Yuan Yonghao's arm suddenly exerted force and directly threw his opponent off the ring.

   "Anyone else dare to come up?"

  Yuan Yonghao stood on the ring, looked down with a smile, and suddenly stopped when his eyes moved to the left rear, looking straight at the red figure in the crowd.

  Xiao Keyan thinks that Yuan Yonghao is eye-catching, Yuan Yonghao also thinks that Xiao Keyan is bright and unpretentious. He is the kind of person who stands out in the crowd, and can attract people's attention with just one glance.

  The beauty Yuan Yonghao has seen a lot. The sisters and sisters in the family are all good-looking, but the girl below has a face as bright as jade, eyes as clear as water, and a smile that is full of beauty, like the first bloom of flowers, and the beauty is extraordinary, which makes it difficult to take your eyes off.

   At this moment, Yuan Yonghao felt his heart beat a little faster.

Below   , Xiao Keyan felt that the people on the stage seemed to be looking at her, but she was not sure, so she looked around, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

   "Keyan, Jingyi, is that person looking at us?" Sun Lanxin asked nervously.

  Dong Jingyi also looked around. There are many girls on their side, so she may not be looking at them: "It shouldn't be."

   As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yonghao suddenly jumped off the ring and walked towards them.

   At this moment, all the girls on this side became nervous, even Xiao Keyan, who boasted that he had seen all kinds of scenes, held his breath.

   With the opening of the mutual market in Xiliang, the living habits of the people were somewhat influenced by the Hu people and the countries in the Western Regions. As a result, the people here are not like other inland provinces, and they are very taboo to guard against men and women.

   In some public occasions, the expression of love between men and women is not despised.

   Seeing Yuan Yonghao getting closer and closer, Xiao Keyan also felt a drum in his heart.

   Is this person looking at her?

  What does he want to do? Wouldn't he want to express his love publicly like the Hu people?

   Xiao Keyan swallowed. At this moment, there was a commotion from behind, and when he turned around, he saw a few ladies walking around with a girl in yellow.

  When people around see them, they can't help but move out of the way.

   "It's the girl of the chief envoy's family!"

   "I didn't expect Miss Ren to come to Ganzhou too."

   "As expected, she is the number one beauty in Xiliang!"

   "It turns out that the warrior was watching Miss Ren just now!"

   Seeing Ren Yaning, Yuan Yonghao suddenly stopped, at this time he was only three or four meters away from Xiao Keyan.

   Whenever Ren Yaning goes, everyone will make way for her, but there are always exceptions.

   Looking at Xiao Keyan and the three who were standing in front of him, who had no intention of letting go, Ren Yaning frowned, and after a while, smiled decently, "Please let me go."

  Dong Jingyi frowned: "The road is so wide, why do you have to come to us?"

  Ren Yaning did not expect that anyone would dare to refute her, and immediately froze in place.

   At this moment, Yuan Yonghao took the coat from the servant's hand and walked over to this side while wearing it.

   Seeing Yuan Yonghao, Ren Yaning smiled: "Brother Yuan."

   A few girls behind Ren Yaning also quickly looked for words: "Yuan Gongzi."

  Yuan Yonghao glanced at Xiao Keyan and the three of them, then asked Ren Yaning with a smile, "Why are you here?"

   Ren Yaning replied with a smile: "I heard that Brother Yuan is here, so we wanted to come and have a look."

  Yuan Yonghao nodded, and just wanted to turn the topic to Xiao Keyan and the three of them, but Xiao Keyan directly pulled Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin away.

   Looking at the three who left without looking back, Yuan Yonghao showed a slightly interesting smile on his face: "It's quite individual."

After    left the center of the square for a distance, Xiao Keyan let go of Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin.

  Sun Lanxin asked in confusion: "Why do we have to leave?"

Xiao Keyan laughed: "Don't leave, stay and eat dog food." After speaking, she paused and asked with a smile, "The number one beauty in Xiliang? When was this selected? I don't know at all. ?"

Dong Jingyi sneered and said, "It's just what some people who are slapping the horse said to make the newly appointed Minister Ren happy, it can't be true. If you really want to comment on the number one beauty in Xiliang, who has the qualifications other than you, Keyan? Woolen cloth."

  Xiao Keyan shook his head hastily: "I don't want to be the number one beauty. This kind of name sounds good, but it's actually useless at all, and maybe it will cause a fishy mess."

   She doesn't want to be the scourge of beauty in people's mouths.

   "What about that Young Master Yuan, who is he? Do you know him?"

   Dong Jingyi shook her head.

   At this moment, the middle-aged woman who was talking to the guests eloquently helped them clear their doubts.

   "That Young Master Yuan is the son of General Yuan Da, the chief soldier of Xiliang. I heard that his martial arts skills are incredible. One person can beat ten or twenty people."
