Ye Zhenzhen chatted with Mr. Wei, but did not neglect the other ladies, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Where are Cui Zhiduan's children? Yu Wenqi and others naturally didn't want to be left behind in such a lively event, so they all came with the adults at home. Ye Zhenzhen was worried that there would be chaos due to the large number of people, so she asked the guards to follow them every step of the way.
, so as not to be taken advantage of if you are not careful for a moment.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the auditorium, with mixed voices shouting: "The troupe of Yan Qing Troupe is here, and Xi Niang has also appeared."
Ye Zhenzhen was doubly surprised. She looked up and saw that the people from Yan Qing's class came on stage and started to perform warm-up performances in the audience.
Who arranged this session? Isn’t this too thoughtful?
There were many people who had the same doubts as her. A strange man asked. He seemed to be one of the powerful local princes and was extremely popular with Xi Niang. Therefore, he was surprised to see Xi Niang here and spoke quickly.
asked.
The person who answered him was Yang Tongzhi. Although Yang Tongzhi was not the direct person in charge of the Cultural Plaza, as the deputy of the prefect, he must be responsible for such a large-scale government industry, so he was very familiar with these detailed arrangements.
"This is the idea that the headmaster of Mingqing Tower came up with. With the Yanqing class as a warm-up, the spectators at the table can quickly quiet down to avoid chaos at the beginning of the Cuju competition. It seems to be quite effective now."
Yan Qingban's opera is outstanding. Although the Cuju court is specially designed to have an echo effect, if the spectators are noisy, the sound on the court will still be inaudible, so everyone consciously quiets down and enjoys this free performance.
performance——
Tickets for Yan Qing Class' performances are hard to come by, and their ten-coin ticket price is really worth it.
Except for the reception of the feast, this was Ye Zhenzhen’s second time to appreciate Yan Qing Troupe’s opera. It was indeed a highly sought-after opera troupe. The opera was suitable for both refined and popular tastes, and its singing skills were outstanding. Even for someone like her who didn’t like opera very much.
They couldn't help but be fascinated, let alone these ancient people who were born and raised and had few entertainment projects.
Under thunderous applause, the Yan Qing class exited in an orderly manner, and a man with a strong figure and bronze complexion walked up. This man was not someone else, but Mr. Chai from Luming Academy.
Chai Fuzi clasped his fists at everyone and became angry. He introduced the new Cuju rules to everyone present: "...This method was passed down by Ye Fuzi of Luming Academy. The Cuju method is different from the old method. Please take a look, there are some rules on the Cuju court.
There are two goals, belonging to the red and blue teams. Each team has eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper, and the remaining ten players are divided into defenders, midfielders, and forwards; the game lasts six quarters of an hour, and three quarters of an hour is one half.
, the game ends after two halves, and the team with the most entries wins..."
Chai Fuzi was a martial arts practitioner, with a loud voice and clear enunciation. Everyone could hear the explanation clearly and roughly understood the new rules of the Cuju competition. They were both happy and curious for a while.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new Cuju competition is more confrontational and exciting than the old one. There will definitely be a lot to watch next.
So everyone couldn't wait to shout, asking Chai Fuzi to let the players play quickly.
Chai Fuzi didn't show off. Even though students wearing red and blue clothes were allowed to appear on the stage, he stayed on the field as a referee.
Cuju was placed firmly on the lime line in the midfield. With the sound of a drum, and a bang, the competition began!
In the past, when people watched Cuju competitions, they could only see Cuju being passed around on the feet of each team member. How could they be like now, watching twenty young people in their prime chasing a single Cuju?
As soon as the red team passed Cuju, it was intercepted by the blue team from the flank. The control side of Cuju quickly changed from red to blue. Everyone in the blue team immediately covered Cuju and ran towards the red team's goal.
Everyone became nervous. Now the people eating melon seeds, eating cakes, and drinking honey... all stopped their movements, held their breaths and stared at Cuju on the field. Their whole hearts felt like Cuju on the field.
, up and down suddenly, even breathing became rapid.
Going to shoot!
The member of the blue team who was dribbling the ball suddenly raised his foot and kicked hard, and the colorful Cuju flew high into the air, drawing a beautiful arc under the blue sky.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be possessed by a cat, their eyes following the spinning Cuju involuntarily, watching it cross the goal and fly straight to the net.
The ball is going into the net!
However, at this tense moment, a red figure flew up and hugged the galloping Cuju tightly. With a bang, the red figure hugged Cuju and fell to the ground, the ball, and
Not caught!
The red team immediately burst into cheers, and there were mixed cheers and sighs in the stands. Their stance was very clear.
"Oh, what a pity!"
Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows in surprise, and saw that the usually quiet and elegant Wei's cheeks were red with excitement, and she even held onto the guardrail regardless of her manners, as if she wanted to get closer and see the game on the field more clearly.
She belatedly noticed Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, and immediately sat up straight in embarrassment, coughing lightly, her cheeks still a little red: "Mother Zhen Zhen laughed."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said: "You heard it just now. I found this method from ancient books. I have a share of the credit for the wonderful Cuju competition. If it can't attract people, doesn't it mean that my method is not good enough? You
Being able to like it makes me even more happy."
Her expression was sincere, and she didn't seem to be telling lies. The shy look on Wei's face was slightly reduced, and she openly asked her about something she didn't understand.
Ye Zhenzhen introduced the rules to her again, and the other female relatives also stopped talking. While watching the Cuju competition, they were distracted and listened to the introduction, their eyes and ears were very busy.
Even the female relatives are like this, let alone the men.
Those men with high moral standards can still be reserved, but like the little fan of Xi Niang just now, he was so excited that he started to wave flags and shout. Looking at the way his eyes were shining, he was probably eager to get involved.
Under the fierce and exciting competition, the men no longer competed with each other to test each other, and the conversation shifted to the Cuju competition.
Captain Jin and Commander Dai said: "It is indeed a novel and interesting new method of Cuju. Commander Dai, I wonder if I can ask Chai Fuzi to go to the military camp to give guidance someday. If this method is used for military training, it can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."
Dai Ji glanced at Magistrate Cui and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he responded with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? I'll go back and inform Mr. Chai, and I'll report it to you when he has time."
Captain Jin laughed with satisfaction and continued to stare at the Cuju field attentively.
