30. Seven Treasures League

Ji Cheng followed the girl of the Shen family to the east stand and sat down, due north was where Emperor Jianping and the concubines in the palace and the accompanying ministers were located, and the other three sides were already full.

"It's so lively, everyone loves to watch polo." Ji Cheng asked. Although there are also people who play polo in Jindi, especially the Hu people who live in Jindi, but the scale is usually very small, Ji Cheng has also played a few times with her brothers, but if you want to say how much you like it, you don't have it.

However, Jingzhong's enthusiasm for this matter was much more than Ji Cheng expected, looking around the polo arena, there were more people than around the dragon boat race just now, and the boys who were impatient to sit in the color tent to watch the dragon boat race also arrived at the arena.

Before Shen Cui could answer Ji Cheng's words, he listened to Shen Xun rush and said: "That's not it, this polo game requires not only superb horse skills, but also your physical fitness, if you want to win, you have to have a good brain to command, the emperor said that I am Zhao Chengping, men are lazy on weekdays, and playing polo can train everyone not to be lazy, so the emperor admires polo very much, and every polo match in Beijing in the past ten years can be regarded as a grand event." ”

Ji Cheng nodded, since the royal family attaches great importance to it, it is understandable that this polo can be popular.

"That's it." Shen Cui didn't interject just now, and then quickly took over and said: "When God blessed me for ten years, Anxi came to make an envoy to play polo with me, we were not familiar with polo at that time, so naturally we couldn't win, and since then, the emperor ordered the formation of the royal polo team, and we began to play polo from time to time." ”

"Over the years, we have won and lost in the games with Fanbang, and everyone is holding back their energy." Shen Qian also interjected, which shows that everyone in Beijing is very familiar with the polo game.

Shen Wei said excitedly: "If you want to say that our glorious times in the past few years have to be the year when my second brother was down, and the Anxi people were defeated. ”

"But the second brother doesn't play polo anymore." Shen Cui followed and said regretfully.

"Why is that?" Su Yun and Lu Yuan spoke at the same time.

Shen Qian smiled and said nothing, Shen Cui said quickly: "The second brother was only fourteen years old when he left the game, and he took my polo team to sweep Anxi to envoys. The second brother was in the limelight, but he was almost killed by those girls' melon and fruit handkerchiefs on the street, and he could collect a basket every time he went out. After that, he never played polo again. ”

Shen Che's record is indeed brilliant, although he has only fought for one year, his strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is Shen Wei's brother, and he is not here Shen Wei naturally wants to be humble on his behalf, "It's okay, isn't our eldest brother also powerful." ”

"Really, Sister Coriander?" Su Yun looked up at Shen Qian.

Shen Qian nodded, Shen Yu's polo kung fu is also perfect, before Shen Che, he has always been the most dazzling person in the polo team, and then he didn't play polo and went to the side, and when Anxi came to fight, Shen Che was out of the game. And the reason why Shen Che was able to replace Shen Yu's position as an idol in everyone's hearts was somewhat because of his face.

People who are born handsome seem to have taken advantage of a lot from ancient times to the present. The ancient Pan An and Wei Jue don't have much to praise, just because they are beautiful men, they are remembered until today, and how many ancient heroes can stay in the mouths of the people for hundreds of years?

While everyone was talking, the two sides of the polo match began to line up.

The Royal Polo Team is a sturdy man selected from the Royal Foresters, dressed in black, known as the Ming Army. The other pair is a team of red ministers formed by the children of official eunuchs, dressed in red.

When two rows of teams entered, the stadium immediately became lively, and the surrounding spectators couldn't sit still, and stood up and stepped on their feet to see their favorite players.

After the drum sounded, the two sides greeted each other, and the game officially began. Everyone couldn't help but get up and cheer when they saw the highlights, and they clenched their fists and held their breath when they saw the thrills.

Several girls in the Shen family have their own support, so they are fully committed, and Ji Cheng and Su Yun didn't know who to support when they first arrived, so they could still stay a little calm.

"In fact, this is not the most lively and exciting polo match, the emperor and the ladies are here to watch, these two teams are somewhat performative, and after the autumn harvest, let's go to see the game of the folk polo club, which is called wonderful." Shen Qian said to Ji Cheng.

"Yes. I like Qiu Xiaoshuang of Lanping Club the most, his golden rooster independence and carp fighting stunts, not to mention how powerful. Speaking of folk polo matches, Shen Wei's eyes lit up.

"I like Peach Blossom Society." Shen Cui said.

Shen Qian said: "I think the Big Drum Club has been good in the past two years. ”

The three sisters have three supporting teams, and you can imagine the excitement when watching polo matches in the future.

As he was talking, it was time for the intermission, and the palace band and Gong E came out to play and dance, and the music was King Qin's breaking formation, which made people feel enthusiastic when they watched it, and they also wanted to fight.

After a song, even Ji Cheng couldn't help but applaud.

Shen Wei said with a lack of interest: "What kind of dance is this?" Sister Cheng, you must watch the competition of the folk club, every time the people who come out to perform at halftime, that is the most exciting. Every year, how many people steal their heads for being able to go to the midfield to show off. ”

Ji Cheng didn't know there was such a thing at all.

"A few years ago, Sister Siniang won the title of the first beauty in Beijing because she got the opportunity to perform in Zhongtan." Shen Wei said.

Ji Cheng was stunned, although the people are now civilized, it is still a bit incredible for everyone to dance in public to entertain people. But in this capital, it doesn't seem to be a big deal in front of polo.

Shen Qian saw Ji Cheng's stunned face, so he explained: "The folk polo club has organized a Qibao League, and every year before the autumn harvest, they will select various midfield performances, which was originally to boost morale, and now it is a place for everyone to compete. The boys have a polo game, and our daughter's game is the game in the middle of the field. If you can qualify for the final, it will be great. ”

As for why the polo league is called the Seven Treasure League, it is because the ball played by the polo is painted with colors, so the people of the time also called it the color ball, the seven treasure ball, and the Seven Treasure League is also named.

After Shen Qian finished speaking, he lowered his head and whispered in Ji Cheng's ear: "If you can go up to perform, I'm afraid that the threshold will be broken." If you have that in mind, you can start preparing now. This year, I heard that Wang Yueniang is full of energy and wants to go. ”

Ji Cheng is noncommittal about this matter, she hasn't calculated half a point in her heart, it is not appropriate to act rashly, for such a thing as performing in public, it is really not Ji Cheng's temperament that can do it.

The Dragon Boat Festival was noisy all day, and the weather was hot, so tired that people turned over on their backs, and when they returned to the Shen Mansion, Ji Lanbian also pulled Ji Cheng to speak all the time.

"Hey, the Wang family is now developed, and there are concubines in the palace to take care of them, but they were just an unpopular one before, but now they all have to rely on their snort." Ji Lan sighed.

"Mother, have you seen the shirt that Concubine Shuniang is wearing today? It's a style I've never seen before, and it's too late to do it now, and everyone will have to have one next summer, but that's the rest of the lady lady's wear. Shen Cui interjected beside him.

Ji Lan nodded Shen Cui's forehead and said, "Why don't you grow up, what is it to wear clothes?" In the future, if the eldest prince of Concubine Wang Shu inherits the great treasure, then it will be the ascension of the chicken dog. Do you want anything then? It's not just about clothes. Ji Lan said and looked at Ji Cheng, "Ah Cheng thinks I'm right, right?" ”

Ji Cheng smiled, "It's just that there are a few women in this world who can have the blessing of a lady." Ordinary people still don't want extravagance. ”

Ji Lan didn't expect Ji Cheng to understand things in a short time, the little girl was always like this, full of longing for marriage, and after suffering from her mother-in-law and concubine, she knew the importance of status and power, and love and love are bullshit.

So Ji Lan also smiled, "Concubine Wang Shu is indeed blessed." However, before she entered the palace, she was notoriously stingy and retribution, and if anyone offended her, she would definitely not be pleased. Ji Lan looked at Ji Cheng meaningfully again.

Ji Cheng must have registered in the eyes of Wang Shufei today. Wang Siniang and Wang Yueniang must have mentioned her, and Ji Cheng's appearance was already in the way of Concubine Wang Shu's eyes, Ji Lan's words were really not purely to scare Ji Cheng.

With Ji Cheng's current ability, he can only hope that Concubine Wang Shu will not have time to trouble her, or just not take a little person like her to heart.

After Ji Lan frightened Ji Cheng, she took her hand again and said: "But it's nothing, Concubine Wang Shufei is also old, and it is a matter of time before she loses her lust and loves relaxation, isn't this a Huang Zhaoyi comparable to her?" In the future, if there are fresher colors that can be favored by the saints, although the eldest prince has a long time, but he is not a concubine, what will happen to Concubine Wang Shu's life is not certain. ”

Ji Cheng thought to himself that Ji Lan's cake was too unreliable, why couldn't Concubine Wang Shu do it, she Ji Cheng could become the queen of the middle palace when she entered the palace? It's a dream.

Ji Cheng didn't answer anymore, only nodded perfunctorily.

Ji Lan saw that Ji Cheng didn't enter, and she had no interest in talking, so she let her go to rest instead.

Ji Cheng thought about the things of the day at night, she was really a little annoyed, she didn't understand how her aunt was so ambitious, she had to let herself enter the palace to be a mother, and took 10,000 steps back and said that with her current reluctance, she would really become the queen mother in the future, and she still had some complaints about Ji Lan in her heart, and it was not easy for Ji Lan to get benefits in her hands.

So isn't the best one rejoicing in one another? My aunt helped me, and Ji Cheng was not the white-eyed wolf, so he would naturally reciprocate. But Ji Lan is calculating her like this now, and Ji Cheng can't get over it in his heart. It's just that after all, they are relatives, and they still have affection, Ji Cheng is unwilling to play tricks on Ji Lan, so he plans to talk to Ji Lan tomorrow in detail.
