The league was full of twists and turns this time, coupled with the withdrawal of many honorable men, many nobles had no intention of coming to the game.
And because the contestants were all sons of nobles, and because they were related to this expedition, the civil servants did not allow their sons to come. As for the common people, they were not qualified to come, so the whole scene was a little deserted.
That is to say, the participating people were very active and brought their families with them, which made the scene not too ugly.
But it was this scene that made Li Hao make up his mind that the next competition must not gather the contestants into the elite class like this one.
As long as there is no need to join the army to counter the rebellion, the temptation of two medals should still attract a large number of people to participate.
Next, Li Hao asked Gu Yankai to give a speech on the stage, talking about how noble children should serve the country bravely, inspiring everyone to win the championship, and then announced the start of the competition.
Then the competition ran normally with everyone's full preparation, and then Li Hao was not so busy anymore.
As long as you keep an eye on the court the whole time, you can solve problems promptly if you find them. Of course, this is also done with the cooperation of the honorable disciples present.
As for Gu Tingye, the relationship with Gu Yankai has eased after this incident. In the past few days, Gu Yankai even personally took Gu Tingye to visit the northwest camp to teach the key details of marching and fighting.
While the two were busy, the old lady and the escort group set off for Youyang.
Of course, Li Hao knew the news, but he didn't send it off because he was busy with the football match. Anyway, it was enough to have the Sheng family to see him off.
After another ten days, when the polo and Cuju competitions were slowly coming to an end, Wei and Li Jian returned to Bianjing City, but Li Hao was busy and did not go to the dock to pick them up.
When Li Hao returned to the mansion in the evening, he saw Wei and Li Jian talking to two people in the main hall. When Li Hao came closer, he found that it was the doctor who saw Wei Xiaoniang and Xiao Niang who were seen on TV. butterfly.
However, judging from how happy the doctor was with Mr. Wei this time, I guess the doctor was not brought here by force.
After Li Hao entered the door, he saluted Mrs. Wei and Li Jian and said, "Why did my father and mother come back so quickly? The old lady said before she left that she would drop by Yangzhou to see her mother, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon. In addition, my mother's letter What is written about.”
Wei said: "Let's talk about this later, but it's your business. Why did I just come back and hear that you are going south to fight against thieves?
You are a civil servant. How could the officials let you do such a thing? It is too dangerous. "
After hearing this, Li Hao explained: "There is no danger in going south. Don't worry, mother. As for the reason, I will let my father and mother know later."
After speaking, he looked around and indicated with his eyes that there were many people here, and he would wait until there was no one around to speak. Then he said: "Mom, let's first tell you why you are anxious to return to Beijing."
Seeing this, Mrs. Wei reluctantly suppressed her thoughts and said, "It's because of your aunt. This is the doctor who treated your aunt at the beginning.
We returned to Yangzhou City at that time, and we had nothing to do. Apart from bringing the news of you being a Jinshi to Master Qin, we also returned to Dashu Village to give gifts and celebrate.
Later, I dealt with the remaining land and shops in Yangzhou, but one day Xiaodie suddenly found me and said that I met Miss Lin from the Sheng family in Yangzhou City, and the man next to Mrs. Zhou was in Yangzhou City to inquire about the doctor.
Because he had gone to Bianjing with the Sheng family a long time ago, and the Sheng family did not leave any business in Yangzhou, and he suddenly came back to look for his former doctor, so she thought it was strange, so she found me.
So I sent someone to guard outside the city in advance, invited the doctor over, and asked him roughly. "
Li Hao asked: "What's the result? Are there any problems?"
Wei said: "I didn't hear anything wrong, so I secretly invited the doctor to Bianjing without letting the Sheng family know.
Today, I will ask the doctor to explain the situation of the day again, and you can listen and see if there are any questions. "
Then Wei said to the doctor: "Please tell me what happened."
After hearing this, the doctor said: "That day was the first time I went to see a doctor in a government official's house, and my wife was the head of the family, so I have some impressions of it.
But I only visited the house once, and no one ever invited me.
I remember that day, I showed it to one girl first, and then another. The latter girl was pregnant with Liujia, and I saw that she would give birth in a few months.
After I finished looking at the pregnant woman, I went to talk to the lady in front of me. The pregnant woman's body was a little big at that time, but it wasn't a big problem. As long as I kept an eye on the pregnant woman and didn't take nourishment, eat lightly, and walk more, she would be fine. "
After the doctor finished speaking, Wei asked Li Hao: "Do you think there is any problem in it?"
Li Hao replied: "It sounds like there is no problem, but since Miss Lin was anxious to find the former doctor, she suddenly came to see me after I became an official in the imperial examination.
In addition, no one in Sheng Mansion has been ill these days, so there must be something wrong.
It's just that we don't know what happened that year, so it's better to let the doctor stay in Bianjing first and wait until his cousin comes back. We just ask the doctor to be careful when traveling and not to be discovered by people from the Sheng family. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei said: "It was such a coincidence that your cousin left. Originally, I just wanted to keep it a secret. If I had known that this was the case, I should have left you a letter to tell you the reason, so that you could find a way to keep her in Bianjing."
And Wei Wei said to the doctor: "Then we need to trouble you sir. This time my family will definitely give you enough compensation."
The doctor asked: "I don't know how long it will take. I still have patients in Yangzhou."
Li Hao replied: "I'll probably come back after the new year. Please trouble me sir."
The doctor said: "Well, there's still half a year left. I can't stay in Bianjing all the time. I have things to do at home."
Li Hao advised: "Don't worry, you can stay at home these days with peace of mind. How much money you originally earned in a month, my family will provide you with three times the amount."
As for what you are worried about in Yangzhou, you can just tell me and I will write a letter asking the officials in Yangzhou to take more care of it and I will definitely handle it for you.
After my cousin comes back to figure things out, we will definitely send you back to Yangzhou comfortably. "
When the doctor heard this, he agreed, and then Li Hao arranged for his servants to take the doctor to rest.
Then Li Hao looked at Xiaodie and wanted to ask what was going on.
After the doctor left, Mrs. Wei explained to Li Hao: "Something happened to Miss Xiaodie's family in Yangzhou, and she and Minglan hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I brought her back.
From now on, please stay in the house and work in my courtyard. You must treat me with courtesy in the future. "
Li Hao was obedient and agreed.
Then Mrs. Wei asked someone to take Xiaodie down. After they left, Mrs. Wei said, "What do you mean when you just said there is no danger? There are no outsiders now. Tell me quickly."
So Li Hao explained the official's plan and the purpose of his trip. Only then could the two of them feel relieved.
Wei said: "In other words, you are only on temporary assignment this time, and you will still serve in Bianjing later."
Li Hao replied: "Of course, don't worry, mother. But these days, I have to be busy with competitions. When I finish my work here, I will go south soon. I'm afraid I won't have time to stay at home with my parents." .”
Wei said: "Since you have business to attend to, there is no need to accompany us.
It just so happens that during these days I can go to Sheng Mansion and walk around to see if I can find out the truth about what happened back then. "
After hearing this, Li Hao thought that this was a common plot in TV dramas. Something that was supposed to be a sure thing would always be caused by someone making trouble. Although Li Hao didn't think that Lin Xiaoniang could really do anything, it would be better to have one more thing. One less thing.
So he advised: "Mom, it's better not to inquire. Mrs. Wang in the Sheng Mansion is a poor control person. No one knows whether the person you are asking is Miss Lin's person, so you can alert the snake.
It's better to wait for my cousin to come back with peace of mind. Then it will be clear. Otherwise, if Miss Lin confuses right and wrong, she won't be able to prove it when her cousin comes back. Then she will be even more sorry for her cousin and aunt. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei agreed and didn't mention asking for information again.
