Ye Zhenzhen realized belatedly that this kid was jealous of Xueer's treatment.
"You're so promising!" Ye Zhenzhen tapped his little head: "You can even compare with a kitten."
Cui Zhiduan whispered: "If mother asked me to eat one more piece of cake every day, I would definitely not compete with Xue'er."
Ye Zhenzhen was embarrassed.
Cui Weizhen glared at his son: "Don't behave like a child."
Cui Zhiduan immediately sat upright, as serious as he wanted. Not long after, Cui Zhiming also came over, carrying a bulging small schoolbag, which contained all the greeting gifts they brought to the Daxing team.
Ye Zhenzhen took a look at it out of curiosity and found that it contained checkers, puzzles, nine-link rings... all the gadgets they loved to play with, but not necessarily the boys of the Daxing team.
However, Ye Zhenzhen did not attack them. The meeting gift was just a token of appreciation. She was still very happy that her children understood etiquette.
When we arrived at the Cultural Square where the grand ceremony was held, it was already crowded with people. It was still very early before the grand ceremony. The Cui family wandered around freely and listened to a lot of gossip.
Most of the protagonists of the gossip are today's protagonists. Any team member who enters the knockout round has become a talking point among the people. Just order a cup of tea and a stack of melon seeds at the tea stall, and a group of neighbors can chat all day long.
Of course, the biggest protagonists are the main players of Daxingfang. Ye Zhenzhen listened to all kinds of gossip with great interest and had to admire the imagination and creativity of the common people.
However, she looked at the scar on Cui Weizhen's chin and thought that she would soon become a member of the gossip, which made the seeds in her mouth no longer taste good.
No, the bad guys are here now.
There were many dignitaries and businessmen present today, some of them came for the sake of the government, some of them came because their own Cuju team wanted to receive awards, and the rest were just for the fun of watching.
Everyone saw the new scar on the magistrate's chin at a glance, and his eyes were quite strange. However, due to his status, he was embarrassed to ask more questions, but Captain Jin did not have such scruples.
The two have similar status, and their relationship has improved recently, so he can still ask a few questions: "Prefect Cui, what's wrong with your chin?"
Everyone secretly pricked up their ears, hearing that the prefect was particularly henpecked. Could it be...
Hey, hey, your eyes are too obvious! Ye Zhenzhen is going numb.
Cui Weizhen's mouth twitched: "Thank you for your concern. The raccoon slave at home is naughty and I accidentally scratched him."
"I see."
Captain Jin cooperated and believed it, and even complimented him: "I heard that the raccoon slaves from Magistrate Cui's family were brought from the capital. It shows that your Excellency is very fond of the raccoon slaves at home."
Cui Weizhen was also happy to continue talking about this topic: "The raccoon slave is my mother's beloved pet. Compared with it, my status in the family is much inferior."
Everyone knew that Magistrate Cui was joking and laughed in agreement.
Captain Jin did not neglect Mrs. Ning Guo: "Speaking of family pets, Mrs. Ning Guo's bamboo bear is even more unique. Jin has been fascinated by it for a long time. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to take a look at Mrs. Ning Guo's pet."
His words are really not flattering. Although Captain Jin has no interest in keeping pets, he still yearns for powerful domestic pets like bamboo bears. Bamboo bears and other such things are the pets that real men should keep!
This topic was deeply loved by Ye Zhenzhen. Her cute little girl was so charming. It was only natural that Captain Jin would be impressed by Tuan Yuanyuan.
"Captain Jin doesn't need to see anyone else. If you have time to visit us next time, feel free to go to the back garden with Wei Zhen to have a look."
As soon as the conversation started, other people who were interested in dating also asked to see the bamboo bear. Cui Weizhen didn't want everyone's attention to fall on the scratches on his chin, so he graciously agreed. It can be said that this is a very rare example of diligent social interaction.
.
Everyone talked for a long time, and the performance on the stage was almost in progress. Finally, it was time for the exciting awards ceremony. As the government officials carried the heavy boxes onto the stage, the lids were opened, and the entire square fell silent.
This effect is really good.
Originally, the award ceremony prepared by the yamen did not include the awarding of silver coins on the spot, but Ye Zhenzhen made a suggestion, and everyone accepted it after thinking about it. Now, looking at it, this kind of visual conflict is indeed good, and the Cuju competition next year will definitely be held.
More lively.
The host this time was Zheng Lishu from the ceremony room. He was very satisfied with the silence effect at this time. He cleared his throat and began to speak. Celebration speeches in ancient and modern times are similar at home and abroad. He opened the ceremony by thanking the leaders, thanking the guests and the masses, and thanking the sponsors and athletes.
Everyone, there is a lot of verbosity and beautiful words throughout the article. It can be said that Zheng Lishu's preparation is very sincere.
Unfortunately, most of the people sitting there were ordinary people who were illiterate and yawned when they heard it.
After Zheng Lishu came the major sponsors. Now the common people were energetic. They watched the owners of several companies they were familiar with come on stage one after another. Although these owners were also praising the official company, at least they were talking in the vernacular, and they could
Understand.
What interests them the most is the sponsorship money mentioned by the major business owners. They gasp in anger. It is indeed a big business company, and it is lavish to do so! There is indeed something special about being selected by the government.
Unknowingly, the people's impression and favorable impression of these businesses have deepened several levels.
Soon, the most exciting part finally came - awarding trophies and silver rewards!
Zheng Lishu read out the teams that entered the knockout round based on their ranking, from lowest to highest. Each Cuju team was awarded silver coins by a dignitary as a guest. The audience watched these Cuju players carrying boxes of real money.
He left the show with his eyes red.
Finally, we arrived at the championship team of the first Cuju Competition - Daxing Team.
Strangely, there was no box containing silver coins on the table this time, and everyone couldn't help but whisper. Zheng Lishu knew what everyone was thinking, and promptly answered everyone's questions. After learning about the good intentions of the magistrate and Mrs. Ning Guo, everyone in the audience
There was a sound of praise.
I don't know how much trouble it will save the Daxing team if I explain it clearly in public.
Because the students of Luming Academy were invited to write poems and paintings to record today's scene, Commander Dai also came. This was the first time he heard about the handling of the silver reward of the Daxing team. Hearing this, he was filled with emotion: "The magistrate and his wife are kind and virtuous.
, it is truly a blessing to the people of Mingzhou Prefecture!"
The academy masters accompanying him all nodded. Even Kong Xuezheng, who had some objections to holding this Cuju competition, had to nod in approval. Looking at the matter, whether it was the government, the prefect and his wife, they had done everything possible in this matter.
Of course, it would be better if the money was not displayed so vulgarly!
