Chapter 18: Untitled

Mr. Cheng's request was very attractive, and I liked challenging work, especially for those who didn't have a proper job, so I agreed, even though I didn't fully understand the rules of polo.

Cheng Chu was overjoyed when he saw that I had agreed to take over the team's training. Now it's good! In the future, no matter how bad the team plays, at least there will be someone to share the responsibility.

And I'm also thinking in my heart at the moment, with the current performance of this team, it's rotten to the point. There is no worse, only the worst sentence has been fully implemented, with such a team, there is really no pressure at all, defeat is normal, once you win is a result!

Old man Cheng also sighed in his heart: I really don't care about a polo team old man, and finding a powerful arm for my grandson is the most important thing. After all, Cheng Chu's kid will be the face of the Cheng family in the future, and with the IQ of my Cheng family's descendants, it is really not good to have a reliable person to help him. It's a good thing that these two boys can go the right way, and the old husband has the right to make trouble with them.

So the dinner was held in a warm atmosphere, and the guests and hosts had a cordial and friendly conversation. First of all, Mr. Cheng extended a warm welcome to Wang Xiu as the head coach of the Sa Zilu Polo Team. He said that the Cheng family and the Wang family have a friendly relationship for more than 40 years, and the Wang family can lend a helping hand in a timely manner in a difficult period for the Cheng family's team, and expressed his gratification, reaffirmed the importance of Wang Xiu's trip, and wished the Cheng and Wang families a smooth cooperation and friendship in the future.

Cheng Chu, as the manager and team leader of Sa Zilu, also spoke at the dinner and gave a detailed introduction to the situation of Sa Zilu's polo team. He said that the players of the Sa Zilu team have good physical fitness, tough playing style, strong funds and player reserves, although the results have declined in a short period of time, but he said that this is only a temporary phenomenon. The current slump has not affected the morale of the players and fans, on the contrary, it has greatly mobilized their enthusiasm, aggression and bloodthirstiness. He believes that after Wang Xiu joins, the team will be able to get out of the misunderstanding and become the team with the fastest progress, the strongest vitality and the greatest potential among the twelve polo teams in Chang'an, and reaffirmed Wang Xiu's work ability and personal charm, and welcomed Wang Xiu's arrival on behalf of all members of the team.

I thanked Mr. Cheng and Cheng for their warm reception, and expressed my feeling of being at home. I said that I was touched by the long-term friendship between the two families, and expressed my gratitude to the Cheng family for their long-term care of the Wang family, and reaffirmed the achievements and prestige of the Sa Zilu team in Chang'an. During the dinner, I expressed my excitement to be able to join such a team with a long history, outstanding achievements, high quality players and good mass base, and promised that I would do my best to improve the team's record.

After dinner, the two sides once again expressed their friendship between the guests and the hosts, and held a grand farewell event at the airport....gate, and I took a special plane (car) back to my home that night.

When I went home, I gave a detailed report on He Ying's decision to take over the polo team today, and made deep reflection and self-criticism about my failure to go home on time for dinner.

Ying was impressed by my courage to face my mistakes, accept them, and accept criticism with an open mind, and expressed unprecedented interest and support for me to take over the Sa Zilu team.

Early in the morning, I was intoxicated with the cultivation of the Flame Sword Technique, but I was told by my subordinates that Master Cheng was waiting in the vestibule, and when I was asked to go to receive it, I resolutely interrupted the knife technique and hurried towards the vestibule. I'm excited, I feel like I can't wait and I need to get to know my team as soon as possible because I'm a dedicated polo coach.

"Brother Cheng!"

"Brother Wang, how was last night?"

"What do you mean?"

"Brother Wang did his best last night to satisfy his sister-in-law?"

“……… I think I need to discuss the team leader with Grandpa Cheng, and there are some things that I need to report to Grandpa Cheng."

".......... little brother knows it's wrong! I have heard the name of Brother Wang for a long time, and it is like thunder. When I see it today, I am really fortunate in the next three lives. Prepare a glass of thin wine below, and invite Brother Wang to appreciate the light. ”

"In that case, lead the way!"

"Where are you going?" Cheng Chu was at a loss.

"Go to Chengfu to familiarize myself with the team, I want to familiarize myself with the rules of polo" I am an efficient person.

"Today? Brother Wang is too anxious, I came today to invite Brother Wang to visit Qujiang with me. Let's look at this autumn high and refreshing, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the season of swimming in the lake. ”

"What about the polo team? When does the formal training begin? "I think Cheng Chu, as the team leader, can get out of class.

"Yesterday's competition was fierce, several players were injured, today is not suitable for training, and it will take another four or five days to go" Cheng Chu's unprofessional face was undoubtedly revealed.

"Doesn't being able to train today mean that you can't sum up experience? Yesterday's new defeat, you should organize everyone to sum up the experience, discuss the tactics, play back a video or something........."

"We don't have that stuff in the Tang Dynasty, play back a fart! Do you want to go to the lake? "Cheng Chu's temperament is more like his grandfather.

"Let's go to the lake? will be misunderstood," I explained.

"When we went, it was the two of us, and there were more people when we arrived, so Brother Wang wouldn't have been there, right?"

"I forgot, since I am swimming in the lake, I told my wife, "I am more honest."

"Don't, wait! Brother Wang said that he was going to discuss polo matters with me, not to say that he was going to the lake! Remember! Avoid! Cheng Chu said solemnly.

"Oh~" I did what I wanted, Ying approved, and allowed me to eat dinner out. I'm ashamed.

In this era, men mostly traveled on horseback (those who had money to buy horses), and the Wang family established the family with martial arts, and equestrianism was particularly important. After I recovered from my illness, I also deliberately exercised and made great progress in riding. It has reached the realm of jogging in which man and horse are one, heaven and man are one.

There are many cars and horses on the official road, coupled with the attention to what Cheng Chu and I are dressed today, it is inconvenient to gallop, and it seems quite comfortable to arrive.

Qujiang is one of the eight scenic spots of Chang'an (the next seven will appear in this book), and it was a famous scenic spot in the Tang Dynasty. From the royal family and nobles, dignitaries and eunuchs, to the citizens, talented and beautiful people, they often go to Qujiang Pond to feast and enjoy. Every year on March 3rd, July 15th and September 9th Double Ninth Festival, Qujiang Pond is very lively. The rippling blue surface of the lake, the sheng song and the painting boat, the light song and dance. On the undulating poolside of the palace, red men and green women laughed and laughed. In particular, every time the imperial examination list is released, Chaoyan has to have a grand banquet here to invite the new Jinshi and the residents of Chang'an City to watch. After the banquet, he personally sent the soldiers to ride horses on the streets, and went to the wild goose pagoda to climb the high inscription, and the intention was successful.

Qujiang pond on both sides of the building undulating, palace forest, green trees surrounded, the water color is bright, whenever the new branch into the soil and the first, always in the river to give a banquet, the new branch of the scholar here to take advantage of the music, put the cup to the plate, put the plate on the winding stream, the plate with the water, light drifting, pan to whom to turn. Whoever holds the cup and drinks freely, and then it becomes a grand event, and "Qujiang Drink" gets its name. This romantic and chic dining method has been admired by the Dongying people to this day, and the so-called turning thin corpse is the idea of plagiarizing the "Qujiang River Drink".

On the way, he and Cheng Chu "chattered" on the stall for two nights of cold powder, and after serving as breakfast, they finally arrived at the legendary Qujiang.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Wang, I've been waiting here for a long time." A beautiful man took the lead to greet the two of us.

These people are all acquaintances, and they all visited me with a lot of gifts when I was sick, and I also returned the gifts one by one, and they came and went, and they were acquaintances.

The beautiful man is the eldest grandson of Tongguo Gong, Cui Zhang, Cui Shiren. The 5 people behind him are also the unscrupulous descendants of the princes from all walks of life, and it seems that the flow of people in the past has been separated by a few of us, and you can feel that these people are also famous on weekdays.

"Brother Wang, looking at your ruddy complexion, it must be my 999-year-old ginseng that has played a role," one of them jumped out to greet me with contempt from everyone.

"Brother Ram is very kind, Wang Xiu has thanked me here." I hurriedly saluted.

"Haha, Brother Wang today, Brother Cheng is late, he will be fined three glasses of wine, brothers, everyone board the boat and cruise the lake, and you will have fun today!" After that, Cui Zhang put his index finger in his mouth, sounded a sharp whistle, his posture was chic and graceful, and with the gentle breeze on the lakeside, a painting boat gradually approached the shore.
