(This chapter, a gentleman who is not good at gambling, can be skipped)

By this time, Kemari had been passed down for thousands of years.

It is said that Keju was invented by the Yellow Emperor of Middle-earth and was originally used to train the army. Later, it spread to the people. At this moment, it has reached its peak!

In Zhongzhou City, there are often "the ball does not fall all day long, the ball does not leave the foot, the foot does not leave the ball, the garden is watching, and thousands of people admire", which is an unprecedented scene.

Kemari has prospered for thousands of years, and the craft of making balls has continued to improve.

At this point, a spherical shell made of two pieces of skin had long been replaced by a spherical shell sewn into a circle with eight pieces of pointed skin. The shape of the ball is more rounded.

The second is to change the hair stuffed in the spherical shell to put animal urine bubbles, "shh It was a thousand years earlier than the inflated ball invented by the British in later generations.

The appearance of balloon blowing has also made the ball more diverse. The balloon body is lighter, and it can be kicked high.

The goal is set on two bamboo poles three feet high, which is called "netting for the door to measure the ball"......

Because the ball is lighter, and there is no fierce running and competition, there is a women's keju.

The kicking method of women's keju is that without using a goal, it is possible to kick high and kick tricks, which is called "white play".

There is a record that says: "The clothes are four colors, embroidered Luo wide shirt, tied with brocade belt, kicking hydrangea, the ball does not leave the foot, the foot does not leave the ball, the garden is watched, and ten thousand people admire." ”

Regarding Keju, the poets and lyricists of the Tang and Song dynasties in the Middle Earth continent are recorded and praised.

The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei said in the poem "Cold Food in the East of the City": "The juju repeatedly passes over the birds, and the swing competes out of the weeping poplars."

Look how high this ball is kicked!

The poem "Qingming" by the poet Du Fu also said: "Ten years of juju will be far away, and the custom of swinging for thousands of miles is the same"

...... The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You also described this grand occasion in the poem "Spring Festival Gala Pavilion": "There are 100,000 families in Liangzhou in the cold, and the swings and bows are still luxurious. ”

Keju is fanatical to this kind of Cheng dù, which is really a few happy and a few sad.

Gao Yu was promoted to become rich because of his good "white fight", and his official residence was a good one, and he got glory and wealth.

And his predecessor Tang Xizong, because he was immersed in juju cockfighting, abandoned the government. The last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhaozong, was forced by Zhu Wen to move from Chang'an to Luoyang. On the way, the six armies ran out, and only a group of Shence troops and "playing ball offerings" were left to follow him.

The most famous ball man in the Wuji Empire at the moment, there are Su Shu, Meng Xuan, Zhang Jun, Li Zheng and so on in the court.

The football artists in the market tile include Huang Ruyi, Fan Laoer, Xiao Sun, Zhang Ming, Cai Run, etc. All of them have unique skills. The so-called "100,000 kicks on the foot, hundreds of thousands of solutions".

Playing in white, use a complete set of kicking skills such as head, shoulders, back, chest, knees, legs, and feet to make "the ball never fall all day long".

These people are good at playing and use good balls. All are the latest inventions.

The spherical shell developed from eight pieces of pointed skin to "twelve pieces of fragrant bark".

The raw material is "cooked nitrate yellow leather, and the real material is lightly cut". The process is "densely sewn and sewn, without revealing the corners of the line". The weight of the ball should be "twelve taels". The emphasis is on "breaking and rounding".

With these people as the center, it was organized into the world's first football club. It is called "Circle Society". The one who holds the bull's ear in the Circle Society is the "Qiyun Society".

"Is this little villain telling the truth?" Lena asked Shui Guitang in disbelief.

"It's the head of the way. I just don't know what the real skills are. Shui Guitang sneered.

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, you don't know. Lina said with a smile.

"The princess is right. Brother, is it a mule or a horse, let's pull it out for a walk?"

"Bring the ball!" Ling Yun shouted unequivocally.

The people of the Wuji Empire are addicted to gambling. Gambling at every turn, gambling on nothing, gambling on everyone.

The literati are playing chess and wine, and the market is close to shopping. Sons and grandsons, ruffians and scoundrels, then fight birds and insects

What is above will be left by the people.

To put it in layman's terms, it is "King Wu is good at fencing, and the people have many scars", "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and all the women of the country are starving to death".

To make it clear, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.

Because, the royal family of the Wuji Empire is extremely easy to gamble. Among them, there is an emperor who is even more gambling. In later generations, there was a classic saying: "If you lose or win, you must win!"

When gambling on red eyes, it really asks for money, and you don't want to give it. The size of the fist is based on winning or losing.

This lord's most famous gamble is to lose Taihua Mountain to the famous sleeping fairy Chen Laozu.

Literati hackers have a saying: "Carving candles knows nothing, and striving to be the first is not refined." This picture forgets me, why bother winning or losing. The gambling villa is profitable, and the burning bag is also famous. It's better to look at each other and laugh, and chant two or three times. ”

There are special organizations such as "rich and poor gambling money clubs" among the people, and there are special casinos: cabinet shops. It is equivalent to the lottery agency of later generations.

In Zhongzhou City alone, there are more than 100 well-known cabinet shops, recruiting soldiers and civilians to gamble. Win or lose the bet.

Due to the complicated procedures such as juju, shuanglu, color selection, horse fighting, red removal, ringing, etc., or the need to use a map when gambling, it is generally popular in the upper class.

The more popular among the people are all kinds of fighting and fighting. The main fighting scenes are quail fighting, duck fighting, goose fighting, cockfighting, etc.

But the most popular way of gambling among the people is: Guan Pu. Because of this type of gambling, it is simple and easy to do, suitable for all ages. Therefore, it is all the rage.

To this end, the Wuji Empire "conformed to the will of the people" and ordered the three major festivals of New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Cold Food every year to indulge the people.

"Zhongzhou Menghualu" records: On the first day of the first lunar month, the Zhongzhou government released the customs for three days.

Shishu congratulated each other since early in the morning, and the alleys used food to move the fruit and charcoal, and the song called Guan Pu.

For example, Mahang, Panlou Street, outside the Song Gate of the East of the State, outside the Liangmen Gate of the West of the State, outside the Fengqiu Gate of the North of the State, and the south of the State, all have colorful sheds, paving crown combs, pearls, heads, clothes, flowers, collar wipes, boots and shoes, and playing well. All kinds of items can be turned off.

There are also small people, even if they are poor, they must also clean their clothes and give them wine.

There are also: to the evening, the women of the noble family indulge in gambling, enter the market to watch, enter the market store to drink and feast, accustomed to the habit, do not laugh at each other.

In order to meet the people's Guan Pu **, every March, the Emperor's Jinming Chi Qionglin Yuan is also open to the people, and the people Guan Pu is also open.

There are: The corridors of the upper and lower halls are all closed to the money, food, and entertainment artists, and they are listed left and right.

On both sides of the bridge, use clay pots, throw money inside, and close the money, clothes, and messengers. Tourists are still going, and the lotus cover looks at each other.

However, there are some that ordinary people can do: there are those who fight 30 wat with one wat and 30 wat wat blows.

Even the chariots and horses, the houses, the singers, and the dancing girls all pounced on them at a price.

That's it, it's not enough. Shengdou Xiaomin is to expand Guan Pu to all aspects of life.

Watermelons, melons, persimmons, loquat and other melons and fruits can be sold by betting, and the professional term is called "selling it" or "selling it".

It is a small gamble by throwing copper coins, shaking lots, throwing darts, etc., and if you win, you can buy fruit with very little money, and if you lose, you will get nothing but pay the seller, or you can only buy things that are much more expensive than the market price.

To throw a copper coin is to take one or several copper coins and throw them on the ground.

The copper coin used to throw is called "head money", the head money is sometimes only used for one, sometimes three pieces are thrown together, sometimes four, six pieces or even eight pieces are thrown together, of which three pieces are called "three stars", four pieces are called "four stalls", six pieces are called "six percent" and eight pieces are called "eight seven".

Several pieces are thrown together, if they are all "forks" or all "fast", they are called "muddy", and "forks" and "fast" are called "backs".

Generally, "muddy" is to win, "back" is to lose, and all "back" is miserable.

Drawing a lot is no more complicated than throwing a copper coin. Put a small bamboo stick in the stick, engraved with numbers, from 0 to 9, shake three in a row, if the number on the three bamboo sticks adds up to more than 15, for winning, otherwise for losing.

Throwing darts is the most fun, a large disc, on the painting of sixty-four hexagrams, each hexagram is pasted with a small animal, each small animal is the size of a soybean grain. When selling, the gossip disc rotates at high speed, throwing a penny once, hitting two darts for two pennies, fair trade, and no bullying!
