Chapter 17: The Ancient Professional League
By the time I got home, Ying had been back for a long time. Seeing Ying's complexion, I thought she would be happy to play today, so I stepped forward to say hello with confidence. And the second daughter has also recovered her timid, silly appearance, and is powerful!
Under the pretext that the road was far away on a hot day, bumpy and tired, smelly sweat, and needed to bathe and change clothes, he told the second daughter to prepare, and then prepared to retreat to the back house.
"Wait!" Ying grabbed me and stretched out her nose to sniff at me. "Xianggong is very fragrant today" Ying Xiao's eyes were full of affection, and he launched the flying knife in a flutter.
"The ancients: Sweat is dripping." My dead-faced explanation.
"Really?" Suddenly, the sword light is masterful, and the nirvana is brewing....
"Ahh Remember, rouge! Definitely rouge! Today I purchased the best pure green lead-free preservative-free rouge and some gouache for my wife. Hurriedly unwrap the baggage and present the gift.
"Yikes! It's a new product that has just been released, and it's my favorite flavor! The little woman looked delighted.
"That's right, it's a Golden Autumn Limited Edition, I heard that only 250 sets will be released, and the scene is on fire! I finally squeezed in front of me! I'm sweating, I'm going to have to wash it off. "Prepare for the flash man.
"Wait!"
"What else does Madame command?"
"How is the second daughter serving today? Is Xiang Gong satisfied? Ying's expression was ambiguous, and I was sweating profusely.
"Not good! It's really not good! This girl, stupid, clumsy, I want to pump her! I said indignantly
"Yes! The concubine will teach her a lesson and whip her board! Ying's eyes were strange.
"Don't, you have to convince children that education is the priority, corporal punishment is wrong. Come down, you can tell her that she has it, and it's not easy to call if she's stupid. ”
"Just say it about the concubine, Xianggong's heart hurts?" Resentment, Xiaoqian's kind.
"Hit! If you don't fight, you can't make a weapon! Gotta hit! Madame, you are also tired for a day, I will beat her myself in a while, don't be tired of you. Oh! I forgot, the bracelet I brought to your wife, "take it out of the baggage" Look at this color, this texture, this style, how suitable it is for you? Come, bring it for your husband and wife. ”
The weak and boneless jade wrist was paired with an emerald green bracelet, "Xianggong bothered, thank you!" Ying smiled like a flower, satisfied.
"I'll go to take a bath, and Madame hastened to ask someone to prepare dinner, and I'm hungry today." Light work, won't I?
Eating, drinking, pulling, sprinkling, sleeping, and playing have become my main themes these days. After a young and promising newcomer came to the Tang Dynasty, he turned into a silverfish and was at ease, which made people blush when he thought about it.
Ying has also been tired of the ladies' assembly activities recently, except for doing morning exercises, she is bored in the study, and she has not been able to write a poem that can be seen by people for N days.
The second daughter is getting more and more serious about eating, looking like she is trying to grow up, and she is still silent and stupid, so I beat her a lot (dedicated to the literary and artistic career).
It seems that it is not bad to live like this for fifty or sixty years, and I console myself, after all, such a life in the twenty-first century is unthinkable. There is no World Cup, and it is not bad to watch polo on weekdays.
I recently became a special guest of the Chang'an Polo League, which was introduced by Cheng Chu. Cheng Chu, whose name is Dezhao, is twenty-two years old. It is the eldest grandson of the old man Lu Gongcheng, because of the relationship between the nine flowers and jade dew, he runs to me every now and then, because they are all people who eat, drink and Lazar, and they have a common language.
The Cheng family has many children and grandchildren, and the family has a big business, and there is a polo club called Sa Zilu (one of the six horses of Zhaoling), and Cheng Chu is the manager and leader of this club. The Sa team is a notoriously bad team in the Chang'an Polo League, and if there is a relegation system, I am afraid it will have already been reduced to a D-level team.
Ever since I watched a match with Cheng Chu, I have been fascinated by this brutal sport and have become a loyal fan of Sa Zilu Club. Polo is barbaric and bloody, the confrontation in the game is like a fight on the battlefield, in this era of advocating force, a qualified polo star, is a brave warrior, not only to have a strong physique, but also to have superb riding skills, winning the game is important, to survive after the game, not to lack arms and legs is more important. Polo inherited the cavalry confrontation on the battlefield, the long knives of the warriors were replaced by long clubs, and the hair-filled leather balls replaced the heads of the enemy, but the fierce confrontation was not inferior to the battlefield of life and death.
The players of the Sa Zilu Club inherited the brave style of the Cheng family, moving forward bravely on the field and committing fouls constantly. At the climax of the game, the sa team often beats each other, the scene is violent, and the audience on the sidelines is even more crazy shouting, especially in the ladies stands, screaming, shouting and scolding are particularly intense, and the usually gentle ladies and ladies are transformed into queens, shouting candle leather whips.
At this time, Cheng Chu smiled and boasted to me about the fierceness of his team, not caring at all that the other party had scored. This is the style of Sa Zilu, a team that is extremely bad but quite popular.
"Hey! This one lost again. ”
Looking at Cheng Chu's annoyed appearance, I thought he didn't care about the result of the game.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Brother Dezhao doesn't have to be discouraged." I reassured.
"It's common to have wins and losses, but it's unusual to lose but not win!" Cheng Chu sighed.
………………………… I was silent.
"This year's results have regressed a lot compared to last year, and grandpa is already angry." Cheng Chu couldn't help but tremble when he thought of going home to face his grandfather's stinky face.
I sympathize with him, but there is nothing I can do. "What was last year's results?" I asked him curiously
"Last year, I had a total of 40 games, 3 wins and 36 losses" Cheng Chu was a little embarrassed.
Three plus thirty-six is less than forty, "What about another one?" "I regretted it when I asked.
"Because of the foul of the player, the number of suspensions is too large, there are no players available, and the game is waived" Cheng Chu seemed to be looking for a gap in the ground. "Brother Zihao, let's go to my house today, grandpa often talks about you, okay?" Cheng Chu had an idea.
"This ....... I have to go back and tell Uchiko, I said I would go home for dinner today." I can see that Cheng Chu has the intention of using me as a shield.
"I didn't expect Brother Zihao to be so afraid of guilt, hahaha" Cheng Chujue pulled back a game, elated.
"It's respect, it's a virtue!" I don't feel ashamed.
"Brother Zihao has also learned three virtues and four virtues? It's not easy to ...... "I feel that Cheng Chu ** has hemorrhoids, and he shakes it like a sieve." I want to use the dragon slayer knife to perform a minor operation on him.
"Little Five!" Cheng Chu turned around and shouted.
"Here!" Xiao Wu is very burly
"I went to Brother Zihao's house to report, and I said that Brother Zihao was a guest at Cheng's Mansion today and would not go home for dinner, so I apologized to Mrs. Wang for me, and said that Brother Zihao could not abide by the virtue of my husband at the beginning of the year, and I hope that Mrs. Zihao will forgive me!" After that, his facial features are distorted into a ** shape, and there are four big characters in the book: itchy skin and beating!
Xiao Wu got on the horse and left, and Cheng Chu was pressed to the ground by me and beaten fatly.
Old Man Cheng's face was pale, he sat on the rostrum during the game, and saw his team being beaten by others to 15 to zero.
As soon as Cheng Chu returned home, he turned into a ninja and shrunk his head. "Is the old man back?" Cheng called a subordinate and asked.
"The old man is back!" Old Man Cheng suddenly appeared behind the two of us, and his voice was like thunder.
"Meet Grandpa!" "Meet Grandpa Cheng," Cheng Chu and I said in unison.
When the old man saw that I was present, he was inconvenient to vent, so he hurriedly invited me into the vestibule to sit down.
"Zihao is also going to watch the game today?" The old man took a few sips from the teapot and tried to suppress the fire. Cheng Chu curled up in his chair, like a typhoid patient.
"Grandpa Huicheng, today's game is exciting and intense, which is heart-wrenching, although the Sa Zilu team is defeated, you are honored." I'm busy playing rounds.
"Defeat is defeat, and it's a fart! Lao Cheng's face is lost, if it weren't for Zihao today, I would definitely teach this little beast a lesson! "I couldn't help but finally have a seizure.
Cheng Chu was still swinging and didn't dare to answer. I looked relieved.
"Grandpa Cheng was angry, throughout the game, my team members showed superb individual riding skills and ball skills, fearless confrontation and scramble, even if the opponent opened a fourteen-point gap and did not give up the spirit, it is really rare." I'll tell you the truth, and it is.
The old man listened to my words, and his anger disappeared a little, "Even if this is the case, you can't spare this kid" pointed to Cheng Chu in the trembling "The game looks at the result, and it is the same as fighting!" ”
"That's what Grandpa Cheng said. Brother Dezhao is responsible for the failure of our team" After saying that, he glanced at the kid, Cheng Chu's eyes were desperate and helpless, and I continued: "But judging from the individual quality of our team members, it is definitely not inferior to the other party, but why is the score so disparity?" "I'm at a point.
"Poor cooperation, courage and no strategy!" Old Man Cheng is worthy of being a person who came down from the battlefield.
"The old man sees that the cooperation of the players is one, and the overall tactics, targeted training before the game, different strategies and formations need to be formulated for different opponents, players should be arranged to give full play to their strengths, and the coach should pay attention to the appropriate substitutions and random change strategies during the game." I said a lot about modern sports in one breath, and I was a little thirsty.
Old Man Cheng twisted his head, "Zihao is deeply hidden!" The truths you said seem simple, but they are all very knowledgeable, and they contain all kinds of exquisite art of war, which is worthy of being a person of the Wang family, just like your grandfather back then. The old man's words were full of longing for his old comrades.
"Although my Cheng family has many children and grandchildren, they have no plastic talents. Cheng Chu, this kid, is brave like me, and Wumou is like me, if he can make a friend like you, his luck will be more like me, haha........."
Cheng Chu and I laughed next to us, lacking passion.
"Grandpa Cheng has won the award, and I am fortunate to be friends with Brother Dezhao" I despised Cheng Chu and said modestly.
"For the sake of Zihaode's face today, I will spare him once. Seeing that the winter competition is coming, if it continues like this this year, it will have to be the first place in the bottom for 6 consecutive years, and the old man wants to ask Zihao for something. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, despite Grandpa Cheng's orders, as long as he can, Zihao will not be ambiguous!" It's an honor to ask Mr. Cheng to ask for something!
"My grandson can't be counted on, I want you to be the chief professor of Sa Zilu, how about Zihao?" The old man said leisurely.
