Chapter Eighty-Three: Yanzhou

Su Zijin looked at the two waves of people clamoring in front of him, and was not excited by everyone's enthusiasm, but thought about it again and again before slowly speaking under the expectant gaze of everyone.

"If you really compete early, don't treat it as a child's play. Either it doesn't compare, or it compares to a good one. ”

Everyone nodded, "What the staff leader said is right, let's just compare a good game, divide the winners and losers, and some people in the province will make excuses if they lose!" ”

Cheng Hou also nodded "hehe" in the face of everyone's words, "What the eldest niece said makes sense, and the comparison must be good, so that others will be convinced." ”

Both sides expressed their positions, and Su Zijin nodded, "Now it's about to frost and freeze, at this time, the time and place are not appropriate, let's compare, don't be too shabby, but to be lively, under the witness of all the people of Kyoto, the lively and lively competition, after the comparison, let the people of Kyoto know, who is our Kyoto, polo first!" ”

Su Zijin's words made everyone's eyes hot, and the more eager they stared at Su Zijin, waiting for her charter.

Su Zijin continued, "When playing polo in winter, the muscles and bones are brittle and easy to get injured. Tomorrow is spring, and in April, we will have a lively competition in the Leyou Plain. It's not limited to the two of you, release the notice in advance, anyone who has the strength can sign up, and when the time comes, the contest of ten pairs of eight, the winner, can be called the strongest in Kyoto! Also, at that time, the cat winter and spring ploughing is over, all people near Kyoto, etc., can enter the field to watch, under the witness of the people of Kyoto, divide the winner and lose, the best, and then ask Your Majesty to send a polo cup award out, to the winner of the honor! ”

Qin Jing was originally watching the dispute between the two parties from the side, and was still thinking about how Su Zijin would solve it, but he didn't expect that Su Zijin would come to a big one in a blink of an eye, let everyone in Kyoto participate, and ask His Majesty to commend him. In this way, the polo winner, whether in the court or among the people, will enjoy fame.

Qin Jing smiled helplessly, the idea that his fiancée thought of was naturally supported, Qin Jing's cold voice opened his mouth, "When I return to the palace and explain this matter to my father, I think my father will also be happy to see it." ”

With the endorsement of the four princes, it means that most of His Majesty's commendation has been set, and everyone's eyes are hot again, "Okay, a word is decided!" Let's go back, we will step up our practice in the past few months, and when we wait for next year's big competition, some people don't have excuses to be in a hurry. ”

"Hmph, I promise to beat you guys!"

In today's Kyoto City, the polo game of Kyoto's children was originally talked about, but I didn't expect that the day later, a notice was posted at the entrance of the yamen that anyone with strength in Kyoto could form a polo team and participate in next year's Kyoto polo competition. In addition to the 100 taels of gold, the winner will also be rewarded by His Majesty.

All of a sudden, Kyoto shook.

Not to mention the hundred taels of gold, it is just a reward from His Majesty, it is a matter of glory to the ancestors!

For a while, some people with some roots in Kyoto took action in an instant, and everyone found their familiar players and formed a polo team, for fear that if they were called late, the equestrian experts would be called away by others.

Although horses are something that can only be played by people with some roots, there are also many equestrian and commoners, in addition to the official eunuchs and merchants, some horse-walking coolies are also gathered. They run horses every day to deliver letters, and although they can't afford to buy expensive horses, they are no worse than others in equestrian skills. In this polo game, the final fight is still technology, they can't say, there is a fight in the end! If you are really lucky enough to break into the finals, you will not be able to win the first place, and you will get a second or third, although there is no reward from His Majesty, but there is also a lot of bonus in hand.

Kyoto City, in the original bustle, has become more vibrant, many spacious places, now have become the training ground for the polo team, the people of Kyoto are busy day, in the second half of the day can be bathed in the sunset, watch a polo training, it is also a rare to see the liveliness before. Gradually, some small traders gathered at the polo training ground to sell some melon seeds and peanuts for everyone to eat while watching. Not to mention, the rules of the game and the level of viewing, the number of people is increasing day by day, presumably at the beginning of spring next year, the people in Kyoto are not watching the excitement, but the real doorway.

Cheng Mingming, Guo Yixing and others naturally practiced more energetically. They now have built a professional polo field in the city's racecourse, and they want to practice every day, and their skills are increasing day by day.

In order not to be slapped in the face, Cheng Hou has long been among the four city protectors, selected good players to join the city guard polo team, and photographed one, two, or three polo teams, practicing every day, just waiting for next year's big competition, winning the leader, and leading the city guards to show their faces in front of His Majesty.

However, at this time, the excitement in Kyoto had little to do with the initiator Su Zijin, she didn't have time to stay in Kyoto to watch everyone's hot training, but followed Qin Jing and set off to Yanzhou.

In the end, Su Zijin and Qin Jing still didn't choose to take a boat, after all, Yanzhou was close at hand, and it was not worth the toss of getting on and off the boat, Su Zijin took Hou Yi and other Fuzhong guards to follow Qin Jing on horseback. At the end of the morning, the city gate was opened, and when the moon rose, everyone had arrived outside the capital of Yanzhou Chenliu County.

Qin Jing looked at Su Zijin who was sitting on the horse, although he knew that Su Zijin had always liked to do things, but he didn't know that she was so strong, and she was riding a horse all day long, and it was the imperial city guards under him who were secretly relieved, but Su Zijin was still sitting upright on the horse, looking not tired.

"Let's rest at the post station for one night, and then enter the county tomorrow."

When Su Zijin heard this, he followed Qin Jing and dismounted, and Qin Jing's chief follower Xiyan had already entered the post station and arranged the courtyard where everyone rested.

"I have eaten dry food all day today, and drink some porridge to nourish my stomach."

Qin Jing handed the lean porridge on the table to Su Zijin, although Su Zijin was not used to eating after Mao Shizheng, he didn't say anything, he was stunned for a moment, took the porridge and ate it one bite at a time.

"Tomorrow, let's go to the county government to get the papers, and then we will take people outside the city to start clearing the acres. Although Yanzhou is not big, it is all plains, vast and densely populated, so we still have to hurry up. ”

"Hmm."

Su Zijin nodded. She followed Qin Jing some time ago and did something similar near Kyoto. Qin Jing is a person who looks glorious on weekdays, and he looks noble and untainted by the world, but he is actually a pragmatic person, and he is very serious and careful in his work. Presumably, before he came, he already had something in his heart, and all he had to do was to cooperate with Qin Jing.

The two of them are not people who talk a lot in private, and they are even more simple and pragmatic in talking and doing things, and at the dinner table, they fell silent after just a few words.

Xi Yan looked at Hou Yi on the side, feeling a little embarrassed for his master.
