Chapter 7 Pre-Race Preparation
When Fugui arrived at the courtyard of the third brother, the third brother was feasting at home, and a group of young people were sitting around in the courtyard, drinking and eating meat, giggling and laughing.
"The third brother has a guest here, then I'll bother, I'll bother you another day," Fugui'er turned around and was about to quit as he spoke, but was grabbed tightly by the third brother.
"Hey, the fourth brother, you came just in time, if you don't come, I still want to find you for a while, come, let me introduce to you, this is the fourth brother Zhu Sheng and Zhu Fugui, these are all my friends, and they are all people who practice martial arts in our Fengqi County."
The third brother took Fugui's hand and introduced everyone one by one.
Everyone hugged their fists for a long time, and they were fortunate to be fortunate to be happy, and then they officially sat down.
"Fourth brother, before you came, our brothers were discussing borrowing your reed land, our martial arts community in Fengqi County is going to hold an equestrian competition, recently you have engaged in that sheep riding competition has now become the hottest topic in our Fengqi County, everyone wants to participate, we are ready to borrow your popularity, and also have a ......"
The third brother is a straightforward person, and he is naturally not polite to his own brother, and he goes straight to the point.
"Oh, the third brother also has this idea, I came today for this matter, we thought of it together,"
Fugui'er's words immediately aroused everyone's interest, and they put down the wine bowl in their hands and listened carefully.
Fuguier originally wanted to ask the third brother to get rid of the people who set up the gambling game, but after listening to the third brother's words, he immediately changed his mind.
Since everyone likes to gamble, it is better to set up a gambling game by yourself, reminiscent of the Hong Kong Jockey Club in the previous life, and deduce it with their own oil and vinegar.
This speech, but everyone applauded again and again, the holding of the horse race was just a temporary idea during everyone's drinking, but they didn't expect that the childish teenager in front of him thought about it so thoroughly, everyone applauded openly but secretly sighed to themselves.
Young people are cool to do things together, everyone expresses their opinions, chats in detail for a while, and the matter is officially decided.
"Then the convener will bother the third brother and the brothers, no, and this sister," Fugui was halfway through his words, but he remembered that there was another woman on the table, and he couldn't help but quickly add, Fugui's words made this ice beauty laugh, and a sip of wine squirted out and sprayed Fugui'er's face.
"Hahaha......" Haha laughed to avoid embarrassment, everyone laughed for a while, and when the atmosphere calmed down a little, Fuguier continued to speak.
"The rest of the preliminary preparations, as well as the details of the event, will be arranged by me, this day will be according to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 we set before, what kind of poetry race does this literati like to do on the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's do the horse racing festival...... Then let's use it slowly, and if there is something else at the younger brother's house, I will retire first, everyone eats and drinks well......"
Fuguier knows that everyone has something to discuss next, he is not a person in this circle, after finishing the matter, hurry up, he will definitely not be able to do such a big thing, he must go back early to convey the news to the people in the reed field.
When Fuguier returned to the reed field, everyone sat in the courtyard while enjoying the cool while waiting for him to come back, seeing Fugui's mother, she hurriedly opened the meal, and while eating, Fuguier told everyone about the Jockey Club, Fuguier didn't use too many words to render this matter, but it can be seen from his serious expression that this is indeed a big event, and it also made everyone's nerves excited for a while.
The most exciting thing here is Chun Xi'er, this little girl grew up with Fugui'er since she was a child, and her consciousness has long determined that the fate of the two people will be bound together in this life, and they will share the same glory through thick and thin.
After eating, Fugui did not rush to bed, but found a pen and paper to lie on the table, a good stroke, at this time to reach the mid-autumn full of a month, a month seems to be not a short time, but to operate such a major event in the early stage of the plan, list the next thing to do, do it step by step, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.
Looking at the plan book in his hand, Fuguier showed a satisfied smile on his face, but this modern person's simplified Chinese characters may not be understood by others except herself.
The little girl Chun Xi'er is still holding the abacus on the side, since Fugui taught her to calculate, this girl seems to be inseparable from the abacus, as if she is the bookkeeper of the reed field, but Shao Ying, who is holding her head on the side, is bored watching Fugui and Chun Xi'er busy work, silently repeating in her heart "boring, boring, boring......"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the sky just brightened, and the busy day began with the sound of wealth and supervision, everyone had a clear division of labor, and after a simple breakfast, they devoted themselves to the preparations for the horse race.
The children have driven the sheep up the mountain, the lively reeds in the past have quieted down, to carry out the horse racing competition to transform the field, the north and south sides to the middle of each measure out of eight zhang and then insert the pole, the east and west ends each measure out of the eight zhang pole, the pole and the pole are connected with a straw rope, so that an oval runway is formed.
This time, Fuguier did not recruit people, all the work was done by him and Shao Ying, but fortunately, a wet nurse joined, which added a lot of fun to this boring work.
It is said that this wet nurse is not a beauty, the kind that can't be found in the pile, ordinary women in ordinary people's families, but more reserved than other women with babies at home, but Fugui has a faint attachment to the wet nurse in his heart, as long as he can see her figure in the crowd, he will feel down-to-earth, Fuguier has also dissected this feeling, but after all, he did not find out the result of satisfying himself, or because he has eaten other people's milk, or because the wet nurse is clean, the body is clean and the soul is clean......
At noon, I simply ate a bite, and the spring Xi'er who went out shopping to buy things also came back, and in the afternoon, everyone worked together to wait for the children to come back, Fuguier's ideal track has been shown, and the children helped to buy the various colors of cloth from the tailor shop in the morning, tied to the straw rope connecting the pole, and the cloth fluttered in the breeze, and the reed ground came alive in an instant.
"Chun Xi'er, how are you writing?" After decorating the track, Fugui suddenly remembered something and hurriedly discussed with Chun Xi'er.
"Young master, I'm just like you, I can read and write this word......
"How so?" Fugui can read and write, because they are all traditional characters, but Chun Xi'er can't also come from a previous life, after listening to Chunxi's words, Fugui has a bit of a brain.
"The reason why I know how to read is because the young master went to the private school every day, I was by your side, and when you entered the private school, I took a needle and thread to live outside the house and eavesdropped, and slowly listened to a lot of it, and at that time I helped you write a lot of your homework, and I could write a few strokes, but I couldn't take it."
As she spoke, Chun Xi'er's face turned red, Fugui didn't know why she blushed, maybe the word was really ugly?
"Then our Zhu family compound, do you know who writes well? The kind that wants to write in large letters? ”
"Second Young Master Zhu Rui, he is a scholar, so he must have no problem writing."
"Don't mention Zhu Rui, I look at his yin and yang weirdness, and I ...... annoyed" Fugui doesn't know why, he just doesn't like the second brother Zhu Rui, in fact, the two usually don't have much intersection, but they don't like this person when they meet on the day of the ancestral hall meeting.
"Haha, young master, you are also annoying the second young master, I only tell you alone, don't you dare to tell others, many girls in our Zhu family's compound are annoyed by the second young master, saying that his eyes are not honest, he always glances at the girl's chest and ass, and he doesn't understand the incivility of the scholar, he looks like a perverted ......."
"Okay, don't mention him, think about it again, who can help me write, this matter is more urgent."
"Then I can only go to Miss Six for help, Miss Six is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is known as the title of Qifeng's little talented woman, and she will definitely be able to help her in this matter."
"Okay, then let's hurry up and eat, and after eating, we will go to Zhu Yun......"
Fuguier and Chun Xi'er ate a few bites of dinner and rushed to the small courtyard where the sisters lived early, after all, they were worried that the girls would go to bed early, and the two of them hurriedly entered the hospital, but they felt that they thought too much, and a group of female dependents in the sister's yard were enjoying the shade in the yard at this time, everyone was chatting with each other, while doing their own work, this night palm lamp is not suitable for embroidery, but it does not delay the soles of shoes......
Seeing Fuguier and Chun Xi'er entering the hospital, the sixth sister Zhu Yun hurriedly got up to greet her, and even the seventh sister Zhu Xin, who has always been naughty, greeted her with a smile.
"Is the fourth brother really going to have that horse riding competition? I heard that the fourth brother took a group of children to ride sheep is very interesting, but the daughter's house is inconvenient, and it is a pity that I can't witness it, and now the fourth brother wants to engage in this horse riding competition must be more exciting, hey, it's a pity that ...... "Miss Six is raised by my father according to the standards of everyone's girlfriends, so she usually doesn't go out of the four doors and doesn't step out of the six doors, and she is full of infinite desire for the outside world."
"What's this, the reed land is our own territory, if my sister wants to see it, on the day of the game, I asked the nurse to come to look for you in advance, and then you just need to stay in the nurse's house, you will see it clearly from the back window of the nurse's house, and you don't need to mix with the crowd anymore......"
"That, that's great, little sister, thank you for the fourth brother in advance, what do you want to write, fourth brother, I'll write it for you," Listening to Fugui's words, Zhu Yun showed a long-lost smile on her face, and hurriedly urged Fugui'er to write.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhujia Reed Land Jockey Club, see or disperse, these words are written in 20 large characters."
Fugui lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said softly.
"Uh-huh, why did the fourth brother use this big word to write it?" Zhu Yun asked while waving his pen.
"Advertisement!"
"Advertising? The fourth brother is engaged in sheep riding and horse riding in a different way, and even this speech is incomprehensible, "After listening to Fuguier's modern vocabulary, Zhu Yun obviously didn't understand.
"Advertising, advertised, is to tell more people to know that we are going to hold a horse race during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Zhujia Reeds, so that more people can participate or come to watch,"
Fugui reorganized his words and popularized the word advertisement, and he didn't know if Zhu Yun could understand it.
The two chatted, and the twenty big characters were quickly written.
"Write up, fight the donkey to become a big mule, and write the betting rules ......" After writing the big characters, Zhu Yun helped Fugui write the details of the betting rules, seeing that it was getting late, Fugui and Chun Xi'er hurriedly picked up the paper that had been dried and prepared to leave.
When he walked to the door, he was grabbed by his seventh sister Zhu Xin.
"Fourth brother, you and the third brother both participate in the Jockey Club, I will also participate, my sister has helped you write, see what I can do for you?"
"What's the point? If you want to maintain order, you can't do it with your little body. ”
Fugui knows that these six sisters are adult girls, and they can't go out casually, these seven sisters are still girls, and there are not so many rules, if it weren't for the fact that she is not familiar with Fugui, she may have run to the reeds to see the scenery in the past few days.
"I know how to count, my mother said it, our eldest brother farms, and the second brother learns martial arts from the third brother of Wen, and our family lacks a businessman, so I have been trained to count since I was a child."
The speaker has no intention of listening, this girl is idle without concealment, but Fugui has to admire his two aunts, who have found a way out for their children, but they are not blind, not simple, not simple!
"Okay, I'm short of elites who can count, I'll go to the reeds to find Chun Xi'er from tomorrow, you two will compare me first to see who is better, who wins who will be my bookkeeper, haha...... The two younger sisters go back and rest early, it's not early, I'll go back first. ”
"Hmph, it's better than that, sister, do you think I can win Chun Xi'er?" Seeing Fugui and Chun Xi'er disappearing into the night, Zhu Xin hurriedly pulled her sister's sleeve and asked.
