Chapter 39: Before the game
After lunch, it is the warmest time of the day, the sun is just right, the air is slightly dry, the spring lake is not alarmed, the sky is bright, a blue sky.
It was the most tired and lethargic afternoon, but it was very lively at the moment, and the blooming flowers were half covered and half hidden, and it was vaguely seen that it was a few teenagers, and after a burst of gongs and drums, there were gradually more people, like clusters of weeds, around both sides to see the excitement.
A goal is set up on each side of the very wide and flat field, which is made of two long poles coated with red tung oil, and the middle of the two pillars is suspended to form a hollow net, and there is a small hole in the middle of the net, which is the goal.
On one side of the field, six young domestic servants of about the same age changed into clothes that were easy to move, and wrapped white strips of cloth around their ankles and leggings, and some of them tied a strip of red cloth in front of their foreheads to cheer them up, and the three groups of people hated each other, stretched out their fingers and wiped their noses at each other with disdain.
Behind Keju Field, there is a red stilted attic that is not rich and vulgar. After a while, two young masters with lofty spirits and sparse eyebrows walked out from the second-floor platform, both dressed in close-fitting clothes, with their hair tied up high, leaving only the two strands of sideburns on their foreheads hanging down to their chins, and the leather tightly tied around their waists made the tall and elegant posture clear.
With a steady and chic appearance, the onlookers in the audience screamed, and many small servants also joined in, shouting loudly: "Young Master, Young Master Tang Wansheng!" ”
And the few little guys who will compete with the two of them seem to be a little frightened when they see this scene, but the two of them, Shengyi and Qingpao, still look like they are winning, and Qingpao is still a little disdainful.
Because there was no one in the audience cheering for them!
Feed! You two are immortals, is this personality really so low!
Jiang Ci on the stage had a feeling of being thrown into the car, although his face was a little embarrassed, but his heart was happy, and he stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "Thank you for your praise, next, I will be a team with Tang Gongzi and three groups of domestic servants who have entered the second round. ”
"But, Childe, your skills are so superb, how can the little ones win!" The darker-skinned guy in the first team asked cautiously.
When Jiang Ci heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "In this case, this son has also thought deeply, if there is no one who can be defeated, then I can choose a group of better ones." ”
Where did he think about it, do you still need to think about it? Obviously, it was the most direct result, because in his heart, he never thought that anyone could win against them.
With his and Tang Yu's superb ball squeezing, they enjoy a reputation in the Keju world, and are known as the "Keju Twins", and they have not yet become anyone's defeated men.
Those little guys breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and "hummed" a few times disdainfully to each other, and at this time, Jiang Ci also raised his head and looked for the west in the vast sea of people under the stage, as if looking for someone, after a look, he lowered his head in some disappointment, raised his right hand and signaled to the housekeeper who followed him.
The butler nodded knowingly, walked downstairs in an orderly manner with a scroll of plain paper in his hand and walked into the crowd, stretched out his hands lightly, and read out the content of the paper sonorously: "Next, I will introduce you to the rules of this Keju competition." ”
As soon as the words came out, the surrounding noise suddenly became quiet, as if the boiling water had cooled down to mildness, and a pair of eyes were staring at the round and fat butler.
The housekeeper didn't sell it, and began to explain very neatly: "The rules of Keju this time were personally formulated by our talented young master. With a flattering tone, he turned sideways and raised one hand to the position of the platform, which caused another burst of praise from the maids in the audience.
"Ahhh is worthy of the young master, young master, you are really amazing! ”
"Cut, compared with the young master and the young master Tang, aren't these people holding eggs and touching them on the pebbles!"
"yes, yes!"
“……”
The little maidens began to chatter again.
When will it officially start? What's more, the housekeeper hasn't spoken yet, how do you know it's a terrible rule! Sure enough, do not distinguish between men and women, and do not distinguish between borders.
Qingpao glanced at Shengyi, who was dozing off beside him, and shook his head with his hands in complaint.
The housekeeper coughed a few times, and the maids were completely quiet, and now they could finally finish in one breath.
"This time, Keju will take a two-person battle, and compete with the young master and the young master Tang in the order of the pre-numbering order. With the duration of a stick of incense for each group of test time, take a double goal confrontation, each group of one person to defend, one person to attack, dribble not only can be used kicks, but also can be used shoulders, head, chest, as long as there is no deliberate injury to others, the most goals in the time of the game for the winner. ”
When a few little servants heard this, they were a little overwhelmed, after all, they used to play a single goal, and this pair of goals has only been played by others, where have they played!
Although Childe said that it doesn't hurt if he can't beat them, and he will select a better team from them, but if he doesn't score a goal, wouldn't he lose face in front of so many people!
Jiang Ci seemed to see their worries, pondered for a while, and seemed to come up with a way, glanced at Peiyu on Tang Yu's waist with ill intentions, and snatched it while he was leaning up and enjoying the admiration that the girls threw at him.
"Hey! Jiang Ci, what are you doing! ”
Facing Tang Yu with a puzzled face, Jiang Ci just played tricks: "Keep it for you, how can anyone kick the bow and wear a jade on his body, and accidentally fall to the ground after a while, then you will have to die of distress." ”
Tang Yu touched his chin and thought, this is indeed the case, and when he was about to say thank you, Jiang Ci took a step forward, holding the jade pendant high above his head.
"Ben Gongzi just thought about it, the double goal kicking method is a little difficult, so in order to reduce the difficulty for everyone, add a new rule, after a while, I will wear white jade on my waist, if during the competition, the one who can win the jade is also the winner!"
When the servants heard this, they suddenly had a fighting spirit, and a smile overflowed their faces, and they looked like they were bound to win. This pair of goals won't be, can you still grab things?
Everyone is happy now, except for Tang Yu. He pulled Jiang Ci to the side, covered his mouth and whispered, "Jiang Ci, are you crazy?" It's as simple as grabbing a jade pendant, do you want us to lose in front of so many people! ”
Jiang Ci just smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, this son just wants to increase the excitement, and it is impossible to lose." Seeing that Tang Yu still wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, he added: "Oh~ Isn't it that Tang Gongzi feels sorry for this treasure jade?" Don't worry, it's fixed on my waist and something else is tight, if it's broken, it's a big deal to pay you one! ”
After speaking, he shook the hanging hair in front of his forehead, and walked down the platform amid the cheers of everyone, Tang Yu was helpless, and had to reluctantly follow him to the venue.
At this time, Prime Minister Jiang and Mrs. Jiang also came, and with the support of the housekeeper and the maid, they sat down on the wooden chairs set up on the platform.
Prime Minister Jiang was reluctant, especially when he saw Tang Yu's kid, he was even more angry, and he twisted his head to the side and snorted.
"Master, you're here, why are you still playing petty?" Mrs. Jiang took his hand and persuaded him like a child.
"Madam, I don't approve of this kind of foolish method, and you agree with this stinky boy's bad idea!"
Prime Minister Jiang Cheng wanted to continue complaining, but Tang Yu under the stairs suddenly turned around, raised his head with a hippie smile and beckoned to them: "Ah! Prime Minister Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, do you also come to see the competition! ”
"Yes, Tang Gongzi, Ling Zun Lingtang has been in good health recently?"
Mrs. Jiang on the balcony also stretched out her hand, replied, and greeted him for a while.
And Jiang Cheng beside him seemed to have a child's temper, and whispered in private: "Hmph! That Tang Wanyuan falls asleep with so many gold and silver treasures every day, can it be bad! ”
But Mrs. Jiang listened to it, and Prime Minister Jiang's small appearance made her hide her mouth, and she smiled "poof": "Master, according to the concubine, isn't the envious little worm in your stomach doing tricks again?" Okay, don't put on that kind of cannibalistic appearance to Tang Gongzi, the concubine thinks that he is a very good child. ”
Hum! It's not good to call anyone, but to call the old guy's son! That's it, lest others laugh at me Jiang Wei's small heart, just look at your Keju competition.
After being persuaded by Mrs. Jiang for a while, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng let go of his dissatisfaction, and at this time, the Keju competition officially began.
Dangdang! This is the Keju science popularization time of the cry~
Presumably everyone knows that Keju is contemporary football, so I won't give you more introductions, but today I will popularize the single and double goals mentioned in the article.
Keju's goal is actually a bit similar to today's basketball hoop, which is relatively high, and a hollow hole in the middle is a hole. The double goal of the Tang Dynasty was more confrontational and had a strong racing nature. In the Song Dynasty, only the single, goalless kicking method was retained, and the confrontation was weakened, which was a regression of the Keju movement, but its performance was enhanced, which made the Keju in the Song Dynasty gradually develop in the direction of juggling.
