Chapter 16: Mess with Winning the Game
Next up is the ball game that children of the Jin Dynasty love to play - Keju, similar to modern football, each side of the game sends five people, and the ball is kicked into the opponent's goal to count points.
Usually when they are at home, Xu Mingchen and they often play the game of Keju, and Dazhu Erzhu is also a master of Keju in the countryside, and both teams have sent players who think they are the strongest.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides attacked fiercely, did not give in to each other, and looked like they were equally strong. Xu Mingye's performance is particularly eye-catching, his body is fast, his footwork is powerful, and he almost broke the opponent's goal several times, but he was stopped by the second pillar in charge of the goal at the critical moment.
Seeing that the time for the end of the game was approaching, the players on both sides were already tired and sweating, but the score was still 0-0, which made Xu Minghao, who was watching the game from the sidelines, anxious Xu Minghao, who was also not on the field, and muttered twice in his ear near Xu Mingxuan, who was also not on the field.
On the field, Dazhu led the players to launch a final onslaught, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the opponent's goal, at this moment there was a sudden commotion outside the field, and someone shouted: "There is a snake!" ”
"Second brother, quickly win the ball, attack the goal, attack the goal!" At this time, Xu Minghao pulled his throat and asked Xu Mingye to grab the ball and attack the goal, and Xu Mingye took the ball back from the foot of the distracted pillar at the right time, and then also launched a fierce attack, and the last kick was kicked into the opponent's goal.
"Ah, win, win, we win!" Xu Minghao shouted excitedly, and the Xu brothers who won the game on the field were also very happy.
After losing the game, Dazhu looked a little depressed, but the players comforted him that he was fine, if it wasn't for the snake just now, it might not have been them.
Lin Shuran glanced at the fifth uncle who was also watching the Keju competition, just now there was indeed a little green snake swimming quickly under the feet of the person, but it quickly disappeared, and they all saw the little green snake into Xu Mingxuan's trouser legs, the strangest thing was Xu Mingxuan's reaction, it was obvious that he knew that the snake had drilled into his clothes, and his face was not only not afraid, but a kind of smug and happy.
Looking at Xu Minghao and him squeezing his eyebrows and making secret signals, Lin Shuran understood what was going on, in order to win the game, these two little guys deliberately made trouble, but Lin Shuran did not expose them on the spot.
No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents during the game, and losing the game due to its influence shows that its concentration still needs to be strengthened.
Not long after the two teams started to play the game, Zhang Songlin handed it to Lin Shuran with the completed Jiugong Grid, and Xu Mingfan also did it shortly after, and the two of them were praised by Fan Xiucai and Mr. Bai.
"The first to do it in the pine forest is the winner! Fourth, are you convinced? Lin Shuran announced the winner, and then deliberately glanced at the silent Xu Mingfan and asked.
"If there is a difficult problem to solve, I may not be inferior to him!" Obviously, Xu Mingfan was a little unconvinced, he was a noble son who was not as good as a country boy, which made it difficult for him, who had always been high and proud, to accept it for a while.
"Fourth brother, I think he's just a coincidence, just a house slave, even if he learns well, it's useless, and he can't take the top prize!" Xu Minghao originally wanted to comfort Xu Mingfan and ask him not to compare himself with a house slave, but he didn't expect Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin to have black faces.
Xu Mingfan couldn't be more depressed in his heart, couldn't he even compare to a house slave!
And Zhang Songlin also had anger on his face, although his status was low, but in the past three years, he has been enlightened by Mr. and taught by Lin Shuran himself, his mood and insight have long been different, and he feels insulted by Xu Minghao.
"Seventh Young Master's words are not right, even if I am a house slave, it will be useful if I learn well!" Zhang Songlin said angrily, "Miss said before, 'jade is not cut, it is not a weapon, people do not learn, do not know righteousness', delving into knowledge is not necessarily for the sake of entering the future, wealth and glory, but in order to let yourself understand things, be able to distinguish between right and wrong, know how to advance and retreat, so that no matter what status you are, you can get the respect of others, and Miss has allowed me to get rid of slavery, and I can participate in the children's test first one day." ”
Zhang Songlin said something so that Xu Minghao was speechless, he never understood the benefits of reading, and he didn't like to read, he always felt that reading was useless, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"Hahaha, what an aspiring young man, well said, said so well!" Mr. Bai was still a little angry yesterday, Lin Shuran asked him to come to the Grange with him, but now he feels that this trip is right, "Fan Xiucai, you are talented and righteous!" At the same time, he also praised Zhang Songlin's teaching.
Fan Xiucai hurriedly got up and replied to Mr. Bai: "Mr. misunderstood, the student is shallow, how can he tell such a reason, this is all Miss Lin-no, Mrs. Xu told him!" ”
Mr. Bai turned to Lin Shuran with a surprised face, but saw Lin Shuran shaking his head with a smile and said, "I'm just paraphrasing the words of the sages, it's Songlin that he is young and intelligent, and he can understand it at all!" ”
Lin Shuran's words Mr. Bai only regarded her as modest, as the young daughter of the imperial master, and the granddaughter of the university scholar Wen Yanzhi, I heard that her knowledge was taught by Wen Yanzhi and Lin Youxing personally, if it weren't for the fact that she has always been low-key, and in recent years, she has been trapped by love, maybe the title of this girl will not be able to run away.
Seeing that Mr. Bai and Lin Shuran all praised Zhang Songlin, Xu Mingfan, who was born strong, secretly made up his mind at this moment that he must surpass Zhang Songlin, a person born as a domestic slave, and he can't be compared to him, let alone let others look down on him.
"I'll take the children's test too!" Xu Mingfan stared at Zhang Songlin with burning eyes, and the meaning of continuing to compete was self-evident.
"I am willing to walk with the young master!" Zhang Songlin smiled on his face, but Xu Mingfan also understood the meaning of not wanting to be weak.
"Good!" Xu Mingfan should be counted.
Healthy competition, Lin Shuran is still very willing to see, not to mention that the two of them are still competing in learning, in order to encourage them, she promised to go back and give them a special gift.
In the two games, both teams won and lost, and they didn't really distinguish the winner or loser, so they had another wrist wrestling, and each side sent ten people, and even the three-year-old Xu Mingsheng was pulled onto the field.
Although the Xu brothers would practice martial arts with Mr. Lu every day, there was still a certain gap in strength compared with the big pillars in the Grange who had learned to work for a long time, and in the end, the Grange team won.
"It's not fair!" After losing the game, Xu Minghao was obviously unhappy and shouted angrily.
"The number of people is the same, the age is similar, what's unfair, the age of the person who wrenched your wrist is three months younger than you, it's really unfair-" Lin Shuran deliberately leaned close to Xu Minghao's ear and whispered, "When you were juju just now, the little green snake released by you and Lao Ba - that's not fair!" ”
