"The date is set for the fifteenth of August."

"Concubine Hui said that according to the rules, the concubine and the sister of the Mu family will be out of the palace in these two days."

"Niangniang also said that the sister of the Mu family is the maid of the Xiping Hou Mansion, and she can't lose the face of the Hou Mansion. At that time, the Tang Mansion will separate a courtyard on the west side, open a separate door, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubine and her sister will go out together and get on the sedan chair together."

At this time, the moon rises and the stars are in full bloom.

In the East Palace, Tang Queqing was wearing a water-blue robe, and whispered with low eyebrows.

Zhu Yunxi leaned against the railing, flipping through the recent summary of the tax office's reform of the local grain chief tax collector in Yingtianfu.

At this time, I raised my head slightly.

The aqua blue caftan was originally an extremely loose home style, but it could be worn on Tang Queqing's body, but it looked concave and convex, and it was almost unwrapped.

With a hint of softness and relaxation, a looming look adds a bit of charm and temptation.

The government can't stand it anymore.

Zhu Yunxi put aside the summary of the tax office, stretched out his hands, and held Tang Queqing's hands.

"You're bothering."

Tang Queqing's eyebrows were light, her face was like a peach blossom, and her lips and teeth moved slightly: "Being able to share your Highness's worries is a matter of concubine."

Zhu Yunxi enjoys this harmonious atmosphere very much, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue or bed.

Holding Tang Queqing in his arms, the two leaned on the railing and looked sideways at the bright moon outside.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "After getting married, according to the rules, I can no longer live in the East Palace. The Taisun Mansion is now also under construction by the Ministry of Works and the General as the Supervisor, on the land south of the Taiping Bridge outside the Xihua Gate, and on the east side is Qingxi Jiuqu."

The allusion to Qingxi Jiuqu is very long, and it can be traced back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty at the earliest.

It's just that now, along the Qingxi Jiuqu coast outside the Xi'an Gate, it can be regarded as a good location.

There are no such powerful people as Zhuque Street and Wuyi Lane, which are gathered together, and let their own houses create an extremely narrow situation.

On the contrary, the terrain is extremely open, and there are few families building houses at present.

Tang Queqing leaned on Zhu Yunxi's arms and nodded gently: "The concubine heard from the grandmothers in the palace that Qingxi is a good place, and I heard that the officials of the Ministry of Industry also led a stream of living water from Qingxi into Taisun Mansion."

"The Ministry of Industry is very attentive this time, if you have any ideas, you can also have someone pass it to the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Yunxi reached out and gently stroked Tang Queqing's hair, and his tone was gentle.

Tang Queqing's face showed a hint of yearning.

She snuggled into Zhu Yunxi's arms and whispered, "I really wish time could pass quickly."

……

"Time flies so fast, in a few days, the martial artists of the martial arts hall have really kicked this juju in a good way."

On the high stands, Zhu Gaochi watched with admiration as the martial artists on the court practiced Keju.

In just a few days, the martial artists in the martial arts hall have quickly selected and formed six Keju teams.

It's a little different from the old Kemari rules.

On the pitch today, each Keju team has a total of 11 players, including the goalkeeper, and there are several alternate players off the field.

However, there is no limit to the number of alternates at the moment.

Seeing that the martial artists kicked Keju dazzlingly, and all of them were skilled, Zhu Gaochi had strong expectations for this first game. ….

This afternoon is the time for the opening of the Wusheng Keju team of the military capital of the Houjun Governor's Mansion and the Wusheng Keju team of the Shangzhi pro-military guard.

At this moment, on the renovated Keju field in an idle camp just outside the lecture hall, there are already many people waiting for the start of the competition.

After Xia Yuanji selected a few Keju players that he was optimistic about from the other end, he walked to Zhu Yunxi's side.

"I heard that His Royal Highness also placed a bet on the outside handicap this time?"

Twenty percent of the tax amount.

Xia Yuanji has never seen any casino handicap like the one a few days ago, taking the initiative to find the household department and ask for payment

Tax.

Don't give up the money sent to the door in vain, and if you enter the Taicang of the household department, it is impossible for these people to take it out, even if Xia Yuanji is suspicious, he still nods happily and agrees.

In the end, the other party said that the handicap is very large, and there is a lot of betting turnover every day, in order to show justice, I hope that the household department can have people who are proficient in arithmetic to count the flow, so as not to let the court lose a penny of silver.

They weren't even going to be wrong about hiding the water.

Xia Yuanji only reacted at that time, and something seemed to be wrong with this matter.

It's just that he didn't dare to think about it, but he sent ten household officials who were proficient in arithmetic and bookkeeping.

It is precisely because of this that Xia Yuanji is also aware of the general situation of the daily bets in this handicap.

Like Taisun, who bets a thousand taels at a time, he will be even more affected.

Zhu Yunxi turned his head to look at Xia Yuanji with a smile on his face: "Brother Wei Zhe knows so quickly?"

Xia Yuan Jile smiled and said, "His Royal Highness seems to be very optimistic about the Keju team of the Shangzhi Guard."

Zhu Yunxi squinted at Xia Yuanji, and then turned his head to look at the players of the Shangzhi Army Guard Keju team on the court.

"In love, I have dealt with the commander of Yu Linwei. In reason, the Shangzhi pro-army guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven."

"This makes sense, I can only bet on the direct kinship."

Xia Yuanji smiled and said in a low voice: "It's just that Your Highness probably doesn't know, it is because His Highness bet on the direct relatives of the military guard, which has caused more and more people to follow the direct relatives of the military guard in the past two days."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunxi was suspicious: "Do they think they want to play match-fixing? Or do you think that if you bet on the military guard, the military governor's mansion will not dare to win?"

Zhu Gaochi on the side suddenly smiled at this time, and interjected: "That's not true, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Uncle also bet a thousand taels of silver this morning."

Zhu Yunxi was really puzzled at this time, and turned his head to look at Xiaopang: "My father also bet?" Who does he think will win?"

Zhu Gaochi had a mocking look on his face and winked at Zhu Yunxi.

Xia Yuanji whispered on the side, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has voted for the Houjun Governor's Mansion."

"So, you don't have to worry, those who bet will think that the Houjun Governor's Mansion will not dare to win."

Zhu Gaochi spoke quietly beside Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi was completely dumbfounded, and opened his mouth slightly to look at the sweaty martial artists on the court.

Xia Yuanji continued to whisper: "But Yichen sees, after noon today, this game is probably won by the Keju team of the Houjun Governor's Mansion. ….

There are several people in their team, and it's not just individual skills. The minister observed for a long time, and several people joined together to coordinate the entire team, which was quite handy, and the formation should not be underestimated.

On the contrary, it is the upper direct pro-military guard, although there are also a few skilled people, but they are obviously not as united as the people of the Houjun Governor's Mansion."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xia Yuanji in surprise.

He didn't expect that if Xia Yuanji was not an official of the household department, he would probably have the ability to rely on being a scout to make a living in the future.

The Keju team of the Houjun Governor's Mansion is indeed stronger than the military guard of the upper direct family.

"I believe that Kamizhi is a pro-military guard, Keju is not a battle to kill, the competition is more about skills and teamwork."

Zhu Yunxi muttered faintly, and looked at the team of Shangzhi relatives on the Keju field.

Xia Yuanji and Zhu Gaochi glanced at each other and got together.

At this time, it was already a little past noon, and there was only half an hour left before the start of the game.

The teams on the court are also slowly dispersing, and the people of the Houjun Governor's Mansion and the Shangzhi Pro-Military Guard have to make final preparations, while the other teams are watching the game from the sidelines, so as to grasp the playing style of the two teams in advance.

Outside the venue, there were already nobles and civil officials who had arrived in advance.

Although it is now only a Keju competition, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of internal competition within the military.

And there are also many people here who bet on the market.

And compared to civil officials and nobles

There is no hurry.

However, those gentry and merchants in Yingtian City were the most eager, and many of these people had made heavy bets.

Natsuhara Yoshi's start was that the bettors arrived early one by one, and he stretched out his hand and swept around the Keju field.

"Stands should be built in this circle, and in the future competition, you can collect some grandstand money, fill the lecture hall or the household, which is a good deed."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the young official who was now basically in charge of household affairs, and indeed thought of the detailed regulations and future development plans for the Keju Tournament that Brother Xi gave him in the small study of the East Palace before.

With a slight smile on his face, Zhu Gaochi said softly: "To make this little money now, it is far better to spread the reputation of the Keju Competition, so that the people of Yingtian will like to come here to watch the Keju Competition."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to hold the entire Keju field in his arms.

"The stands should be built higher and better, and the good and the bad should be distinguished, and the nobles of the court must have a private room of their own. Then this gentleman and businessman also hope that next to a private room can be the grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, the marquis, or the court minister."

"There are also huge signs to be built around Keju Stadium, and there must be a circle of notices around the stadium when there is an event, so that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can make their own names."

"The ticket price for the common people should be cheap enough, and they can come in and watch the whole game for three or five cents."

"As long as there are more people, the small traders and vendors in the city can be allowed to come in and sell food and food, which can be regarded as a good deed, and it will always make the small traders and vendors earn more money."

There are many introductions about how to develop the Keju Competition for a long time and stably, and Zhu Gaochi got a lot of introductions to the charter.

And what he didn't expect the most was that what was originally just a matter of internal dispute within the military could be staged in Brother Xi'er's hands and become a matter with so many benefits. ….

The military has a fixed place and way to compete for high and low status, the martial arts hall cultivates more united future generals of the Ming Dynasty, the merchants promote their own things, the traders sell things, and even ordinary people can have one more fun in life.

In addition to preventing the people from participating in the handicap.

Fortunately, now because of the blows of Jinyiwei and Ying Tianfu, the underground handicap will be confiscated as long as it appears.

Xia Yuanji frowned: "The prince of the world has such a deep understanding of this."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head very shamefully: "These are all the plans of the grandson."

Natsuharaji's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, I wondered why there were so many effective whimsical ideas in Taisun's head.

He immediately asked, "When will the construction of the stands around this Kemari field begin?"

At present, this Keju competition in the martial arts hall is only fifteen, and it will end in half a month.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Xia Yuanji: "This matter will have to wait for the news from Bachelor Xie's side, and it won't be long before I think it will come."

"The Squire?" Xia Yuan Yoshimu was puzzled: "He has rarely appeared in Yingtian City recently, and from time to time he goes to the Taiping Mansion, and I heard that he is still building a large-scale workshop on the side of Niushou Mountain."

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Just wait, when the time comes, it will amaze the entire Yingtian City."

Xia Yuanji was a little suspicious, but he did not communicate with Xie Jin recently, so he could only wait and see what happened.

At this time, more and more people have entered the arena outside the Kemari field.

The stands where Xia Yuanji and the others were naturally not ordinary people could come up, they were all court officials and nobles.

Outside the barracks, there were more people standing there, waiting for the much-anticipated Keju Tournament between the Governor's Mansion and the Upper Guard.

The officers and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies only allowed people with betting slips in their hands to enter the field, and even then thousands of people gathered around the entire Keju field, and there were many people coming in behind.

"Three thousand taels of silver!"

"Whether it's life or death, it depends on the gang of the Houjun Governor's Mansion to kill this time!"

A fat merchant on the edge of the Keju field bites

Clenched his hands with his teeth, he stared viciously at the Houjun Governor's Mansion Keju team who had already begun to enter.

"Three thousand taels? Dude, is this putting all your life into it?" There are good people around him who raise their eyebrows and ask.

The rich and powerful who pressed three thousand taels snorted: "I don't dare to do anything about my life, and the income from this trip from Fujian has been pressed in."

"Dude is a man who understands."

The good deeds around him complimented.

On the other side, someone let out a long breath, and his eyes were bloody: "Ancestor's three hundred acres of land! This time, I'm going to take a fancy to the Nakin Guard!"

The person next to this person looked sideways slightly: "I heard that the grandson pressed three thousand taels of direct relatives and guards, and it would not be wrong to think about it."

The middle-aged gentleman who took the three hundred acres of land accumulated by his ancestors and suppressed the Shangzhi military guard, turned his head and nodded heavily: "Did the grandson really suppress the Shangzhi military guard?"

Don't wait for the speaker to speak.

On the other side, there was a person with an ambiguous smile on his face and said, "I also heard that the crown prince also suppressed the victory of the three thousand taels of the rear army governor's mansion."

As soon as he said this, the gentleman's face suddenly collapsed. ….

Behind him, a person whispered, "You didn't think about flattening? I pressed 500 taels to a draw this time."

"Ping?"

"A few days ago, there was such a big movement in the martial arts hall, that is, the Houjun Governor's Mansion and the Shangzhi Military Guards were not right, and today on the Juju field, it is bound to see the real chapter and divide the superior."

"That makes sense."

"Flat can't be flat."

The crowd of onlookers who bet on the upcoming Keju tournament broke out into a heated discussion.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the crowd.

"Wealth has a life, life and death depend on it!"

"The Houjun Governor's Mansion will win!"

This time it was all completely detonated in the audience.

The people on the other side who suppressed the military guards of the upper direct relatives naturally did not admit defeat, and roared loudly that the military guards of the upper direct relatives would win.

In the stands, Natsuhara looked at the people around Keju and chuckled, "The people are very interested."

Zhu Gaochi looked sideways, glanced at Xia Yuanji, frowned, and shook his head slightly.

I really don't know why those people are so interested?

Zhu Yunxi has the best line of sight in the stands.

Surrounded by a group of cousins who God knows why they were released, they were supposed to attend classes in the main hall.

Zhu Shangbing knocked on the fried melon seeds and didn't know where to get them, leaning on the seat very unqualified, spitting out the melon seed shell with Erlang's legs, and turning around and letting a little cousin who was bought hold a bowl of chilled sour plum soup into his mouth.

After this set was done, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a curious face: "Aren't you afraid that these people will lose all their bitterness and turn around and make trouble?"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi ignored him, he said silently, "God knows why Ying Tianfu and Jinyiwei still have a handicap."

"As long as the people don't participate, no matter how much they lose and how big the movement is, it's just a number on the book of Ying Tianfu."

Zhu Yunxi explained very indifferently.

Betting on dogs does not deserve sympathy!

This is why he wants Jinyiwei to strictly control the underground dark market, as long as ordinary people can't participate, these gentry and businessmen who are qualified to participate will not let him take a second look no matter how much they lose and die.

Just cut leeks.

The gentry and merchants of this stubble were cut, and more leeks could grow in the future.

Zhu Shangbing shook his head and leaned back.

"Brother Xi, bring me the ice cream."

Zhu Mengxi, the prince of the king of Chu, who was bought by ten taels of silver, immediately looked happy, nodded and jumped to the back of the stands.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

Around the venue, shouts shook the sky.

……

"A total of 273,542 taels, and the flat is about 30,000 taels, but the odds are originally low, and less than 40,000 taels have been erased before and after."

The camp in Xicheng Juju field, from the shouts full of anticipation, to the end of the scolding.

If it weren't for the officers and soldiers controlling the scene, I am afraid it would have turned into a large-scale conflict. ….

Under the stands, Zhu Yunxi left quietly under the escort of a group of brocade guards and forbidden soldiers.

Tian Mai was on the side, whispering.

Zhu Yunxi glanced back at the Keju Field, which was already completely messy, and said in a deep voice, "Summons Jinyi Wei and Ying Tianfu to strictly control Ying Tiancheng."

Tian Mai answered.

Zhu Yunxi whispered again: "The back of the market is slow, only adjust the odds of the event, and ensure that you don't lose money."

Tian Mai also nodded cautiously, understanding.

And at this moment.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, which runs through Yingtian City, there are many more people than in the past.

"Flat?"

"It's ...... flat."

"My five thousand taels of silver......

"I ......"

"I'm not alive!"

A figure, in full view of everyone, plunged into the Qinhuai River.

Not far away, I saw a gentleman dressed in satin, already lying on the bank of the river, bursting into tears and crying.

"I'm sorry for the ancestors!"

"Three Hundred Acres of Land......

"The last 300 acres of land left by our ancestors......

"Puff ......"

The gentle Qinhuai River once again sounded the sound of falling water.

One by one, the men who were still full of pride and ambition jumped into the Qinhuai River with the idea of a hundred at this moment.

There were too many people jumping, and the movement was quite large, which attracted countless people in the city to watch for a while.

After a while, some enthusiastic people jumped into the water, trying to save these gamblers who had lost all their bitterness.

And probably because the river was too cold, many people fell into the water before they suddenly woke up, constantly pulling and shouting in the river.

"Help!"

"Help......

"How can the water of the Qinhuai River be so cold?"

"Gollum ......"

"Help......

Seeing the gentry who lost all the 300 acres of land left by his ancestors crying for help in the water, what was originally a suicide by diving into the water suddenly turned into a farce.

At the bridge on the shore, the people couldn't help but laugh.

"The dog deserves it!"

Shredded pork and rice noodles
