Chapter 937: Confrontation
Fortunately, after not much gossip, someone from outside reported that the Keju game was about to start, and invited the big guys to go out to watch the game.
Xu and Liu stopped talking, and everyone went out to watch the game with joy.
There is a special bow field for the Keju competition, the bow field is rectangular, generally east-west, with a large hall that sits in the south and north for viewing, there is a high wall around it, called "Ju City", Li You's "Ju Cheng Ming" said, "round Ju square wall, like yin and yang." Fa Yue Chong right, two six equal. Build a long and flat, and its examples are common: no intimacy, no selfishness; Be calm and don't complain. Ju Zheng is still the same, and it is up to him to take the plane! "That's how Keju works.
Since it is a game, it is inevitable to determine the winner or loser, so every time the event is played against two teams, the winner is determined by the number of balls.
An Sheng and his entourage came to the Juchang, and saw that there were already people sitting in the south hall, and they followed the maid who led the way, and when they arrived and heard the maid say that the left was the male seat, and the right was the female seat, and there was a passage about five feet wide in the middle, and there was no screen, and there was a high number in the middle of every two seats, and tea and fruit points were placed on it, which was convenient for the guests to use.
An Sheng and Xie Wanrong are juniors, and they have something to say when they sit together, and the Lin family also knows that she is good with the two of them, so they asked the two of them to sit together.
An Sheng and Xie Wanrong waited for the Lin family and the others to sit down one by one before sitting behind them.
Although the emperor and queen have not arrived today, I heard that several princes and princesses came, so the Lin family sat directly in the second row, An Sheng and Xie Wanrong were in the third row, and they just sat down not long ago, and they really saw the eldest princess who had already married, with the four princesses from Concubine Hui, the five princesses from Li Guiren, the three princes from Shu Concubine, and the four princes from Concubine Xian.
The princes naturally had to sit on the male guest's side, but the third prince and the fourth prince were eleven and ten years old, and they were all relatively young, and the eldest princess, as the eldest sister, naturally had to give a few more instructions.
The eldest princess and the prince's mother, although there is a difference of five years, but the relationship has always been good, today the younger brother presided over the competition, how she has to come, because she is the first child in the palace, so she is still more favored, after getting married, she has never left Beijing, has been living in Beijing, often enters the palace to meet the queen mother and the queen, and is also more authoritative in the hearts of many younger brothers and sisters, so she explained things, the third prince and the fourth prince did not dare not listen, and nodded honestly before following the nurse.
When the third and fourth princes left, the eldest princess took the fourth and fifth princesses to sit down.
They have golden branches and jade leaves, and others naturally dare not hold them up, and when they saw their sisters, they all came over to greet them.
The eldest princess has a sense of arrogance between her eyebrows, but as the eldest princess of the heavenly family, she has been taught by the queen since she was a child, so she is very good at being a person.
Everyone greeted each other for a while and sat down separately.
The eldest princess took the fourth and fifth princesses to sit in the first row.
It is said that the identities of the Duchess of Wenguo Xie and the Duchess of Huguo Lin, also sat in the first row, but neither of them went to sit.
It's true that the eldest princess brought them close, but they have always disliked publicity outside and tried to complete the rules, so the eldest princess did not insist on keeping people.
After they were all seated, someone in the back row got together to gossip, but probably because they were afraid of the eldest princess and others, they didn't dare to be loud and stingy, and they just whispered.
Du Yiheng's mother, Xu, was sitting in a position that happened to be behind the side of the fourth princess, and from her point of view, she could see the right cheek of the fourth princess that was so pale that there was almost no blood.
Xu sighed secretly.
She heard her daughter say that since she and her mother-in-law politely rejected the queen's words that day, the fourth princess has been sick.
The fourth princess was not very well, and she often had some minor illnesses, but it was not as serious as this time, and she heard that she was sick for more than a month before she could get up.
In the end, the four princesses have kindness to their family, and Xu Shi heard that she was sick and felt bad, but she still felt sorry for her son, so even if she understood why the fourth princess was sick, she could only pretend that she didn't know.
The Lin family and the others knew what was going on in the Xu family, and when they saw her looking at the silhouette of the fourth princess with guilt on their faces, they all deliberately said something happy to divert her thoughts.
Soon, the drums in the field were thunderous, and everyone's spirits were shocked, knowing that the game was about to start, they didn't bother to care about anything else, and they all looked down and bowed.
Soon, the drums stopped, and the teams of both sides entered the hall together, and the hall resounded with the sound of discussion.
An Sheng's repertoire looked over, and at a glance he saw Lu Zheng walking in front of a team of people, he was wearing a purple Yunxiang talisman bat pattern suit, with a rhino horn belt around his waist, his black hair was raised high with a silver crown, and his long eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, chic and handsome, and he was followed by Wen Tao, Du Yiheng, Lin Zixuan and other fifteen young people, almost all dressed in the same way, only the belts around their waists were a little different.
On the other side, the red team led by Wang Wenzheng was wearing red Yunxiang Fu Bat pattern suits, which were almost the same dress.
An Sheng even heard the shy laughter of many young ladies around her.
Wait for the two sides to enter, after the prince's routine speech, the game began, Lu Zheng and they are competing in a direct competition with two goals, both sides have a goal like a small house, each has twelve players, the two sides have a confrontation of direct physical contact, and finally kick and bow into the opponent's goal The one who wins wins.
After the referee sounded the whistle and beat the drum, the prince didn't want the eldest prince to lose the game, and he would have to quibble with his excuse of suppressing people with power, so he had already told Lu Zheng and them to let the players of Wang Wenzheng's team kick off first.
Wang Wenzheng was bent on winning a jackpot, so he was very tense at the beginning, took the ball and tossed it a few times, and did not blindly play tricks, while beckoning his players to fight against Lu Zheng's team, while staring at the opposite goal to find an opportunity to score.
Because it is a confrontation match, it is much more "barbaric" than the single-goal game, but everyone has long been used to watching such games, so even those pampered eldest ladies on weekdays did not show any disgust or strange looks, but watched them one by one with great interest.
An Sheng and Xie Wanrong also looked nervously at the bow below, they naturally hoped that Lu Zheng and Wen Tao's team would score more goals.
Although she is also very confident in Lu Zheng and Wen Tao, it is inevitable that she will be nervous when she sees them playing, so from the beginning of the game, she didn't even bother to speak.
