For Han Qi and Zhang Maocai, this day can be said to be a bad one. Although the two teams trained in the morning and afternoon respectively, and whether it was Han Qi who thought he had a chance to win, he still kept training.
Zhang Maocai was preoccupied with other things, and the two of them were not very interested in the results of the team's first training session.
The first is Han Qi. As mentioned before, in terms of paper ability alone, Han Qi's Goshawk team should be said to be the most capable among the eight teams. Only the Huangtian team is because more than half of the people are from the original Royal Cuju team.
Only those who are qualified to compete with the Goshawks.
After all, this new type of Cuju is not about fighting. No matter how hard the athletes train, their physical fitness cannot reach 100% of that of a soldier. This is why Han Qi is very confident about the abilities of his team members.
In Han Qi's view, since this new type of Cuju will eventually be reduced to Cuju as a leisure and entertainment sport, then all the members of the Goshawk Team are soldiers and are already impeccable in terms of physical fitness.
Not to mention that this training method is not as intense as military camp training.
Having said that, Han Qi still decided to follow the team for the first training today. It does not mean that he wants to urge his team members to do well. After all, these more than ten people are his confidants.
Needless to say, they will train with all their strength.
The reason why Han Qi followed the whole process was because of the instructor Zhe Kexing.
After all, this instructor was personally selected by Lu Yao. Han Qi said to his heart that he had not noticed the shining points in Zhe Kexing for so long. He only thought that this boy was a stupid young man. How could he become like this as soon as he met Lu Yao?
Have you become a very outstanding instructor?
By observing the military training plan formulated by Zhe Kexing and the momentum he showed on the training field today, Han Qi felt that he had indeed underestimated Zhe Kexing before.
Let's talk about Zhang Maocai. In fact, Zhang Maocai is relatively simple. He has been busy running another inn in the outer city recently. He wants to renovate that inn. After all, he can say that he runs the inn by himself.
The worst one among many inns. Of course, this is only a horizontal comparison. If compared to other inns in the outer city, this inn is still much higher than other simple inns.
Zhang Maocai is a businessman. For him, participating in this new Cuju competition is just a means to achieve his ultimate goal. For Zhang Maocai, his ultimate goal is only one, and that is to make money.
Even the money he made from Zhao Zhen before was part of his plan. He had already thought of this when he decided to book the accommodation for these team members. However, Jiang was still too old and spicy, and Zhang Maocai never thought of it.
, Zhao Zhen came here and bought the Guilu Inn directly. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit when doing business with the royal family.
Therefore, as a businessman, Zhang Maocai's appearance at the training ground today was more of a formality. In fact, Zhang Maocai is very clear about the strength of his team.
Although these team members looked big and round and had outstanding abilities, Zhang Maocai felt that there would be no way for them to win if it really came to a formal competition. In a competition organized by a royal family like this, if you don’t win the winning team, you won’t win.
Not participating is basically of the same nature, and this model is the same in modern times. Usually a large-scale talent show, or even a group show, can only leave an impression on the audience and netizens in the end.
Just two or three people.
Zhang Maocai is very aware of his position. He signed up to participate in this new Cuju competition this time just because he wanted to obtain some first-hand information through his own participation, and then based on this information, he would judge whether he could find anything from it.
There are some business opportunities and better ways to make money. As for what kind of results these team members can achieve, Zhang Maocai actually doesn't care too much.
However, there is still work to be done to save face, so Zhang Maocai still showed up at the training ground where his team was training today.
Regardless of their considerations, Han Qi and Zhang Maocai did not go to see the training of the other four teams yesterday. One was full of confidence, and the other was not interested.
However, what they didn't know was that their first-round opponents were secretly competing against each other because they disliked each other privately and had a so-called agreement before.
Therefore, on the training ground today, both the Cao family's Lions team and the Han family's Wenyuan team were training very hard, which far exceeded Katsuyuki Zhe's expectations.
Originally, Zhe Kexing thought that the second day of training should be easier than the first day. Think about it, among the four teams that participated in the training on the first day, the Pan family tried their best to get it.
As for the winner, Chen Chen also wanted to live up to Lu Yao's expectations. In addition, the overall strength of Wang Da's team was already very strong.
In fact, the teams that trained on the first day were generally under a lot of pressure, which meant that as an instructor, Katsuyuki, whether he wanted to or not, had to be more intense than the planned training items. Otherwise, these leaders would
People will not be happy.
In fact, during the training process, not only the leader, but also the members of each team, there is also huge pressure on Zhe Kexing. Once any problem occurs, the responsibility will actually be placed on his head.
Therefore, Zhe Kexing originally thought that the second day of training should be carried out very smoothly.
After all, the Cao family and the Han family, one is a relative of the emperor and the other is in a high position. The teams under their command, Zhe Kexing thinks, are probably a bit lazy and have no enthusiasm for training. He even thinks that Han Yonghe and Cao
They had no choice but to participate in this new Cuju competition because of the order of Emperor Zhao Zhen.
As for the other two teams, there is no need to say more about Han Qi. The team members are all soldiers like him, and there are even people who are much better than him in some aspects. Regarding their training, Zhe Kexing
Of course, there is no need to worry. There is no need to say more about Zhang Maocai. Since chatting with Lu Yao about Zhang Maocai before, Zhe Kexing also has a preliminary understanding of this profiteer, and Zhang Maocai did not come to see the other four teams yesterday.
training, so Zhe Katsuyuki felt that Zhang Shigecai must not pay attention to this competition at all. If this is the case, then he is too lazy to care about how well his team has been trained.
However, the Cao family and the Han family were far beyond Zhe Kexing's expectations. Among other things, when the four teams trained yesterday, the first one to come to the sidelines to watch was Cao You, and he was there all day long.
After following him, this guy even prepared paper and pen, observing and recording at the same time. Han Wenyuan, who was the second to arrive, also made the same move as Cao You. Although Cao Guojiu and Han Yonghe also later had
But now everyone who participated in this Cuju competition knows that the two people from the Cao family and the Han family who are actually in charge of this competition are Cao You and Han Wenyuan, who are the future heads of the two families.
However, Zhe Kexing didn't take the performance of these two people too seriously. In Zhe Kexing's opinion, the reason why they acted so seriously was because the training ground was within the palace, and Tang Long
Yesterday, I basically came to the training ground from time to time. The serious look of these two people must be for Zhao Zhen to see.
However, when the time came for today's training, Han Qi, Zhang Maocai, and Zhe Kexing were all shocked.
The members of the Han family and the Cao family were training like crazy today, and even took the initiative to increase the intensity of training. This attitude made Zhe Kexing think that they were all composed of ordinary people.
Zhe Kexing actually doesn't know much about the grievances between these two families, but recently, Zhe Kexing has also noticed the conflict between Han Yonghe and Cao Yi. These two old guys can start quarreling just by talking,
It shows that the relationship is indeed not good.
Moreover, I heard Lu Yao half-jokingly tell him before that the two teams seemed to have an agreement, saying that if both teams could win in the first round, the two teams had already agreed to be their opponents in the second round.
Of course, when Zhe Kexing asked Lu Yao about the grievances between the Cao family and the Han family, Lu Yao said that he was not in politics, so he didn’t know much about it. This was of course, Lu Yao couldn’t take it for granted that he still had
Telling what happened between Han Yunyu and Cao Han is not a good thing after all, and it will also affect your impression here at Zhe Kexing.
And these two teams proposed to increase the intensity of training. Who is suffering? Naturally, it is the other two teams. Among them, Han Qi's team is not bad. After all, they are both soldiers. Even if these trainings increase the intensity, in the
They seemed to be a bit underwhelmed. Therefore, the ones complaining the most were naturally Zhang Maocai's team, which was formed with no winning attitude. However, these team members did not dare to neglect it. After all, this was their wealth.
The team’s first training session, and Zhang Mao was there to watch it in person.
You know, this businessman attaches great importance to his own face. If someone is named and criticized by instructor Zhe Kexing during today's training, which makes boss Zhang Maocai embarrassed, then he may not necessarily be punished when he goes back, maybe directly
will be kicked off the team.
Therefore, even though the training was very difficult, the members of the Wangcai team still persevered.
Originally, Cao Yi and Han Qi, as well as Han Yonghe and Zhang Maocai, had already agreed that when the training was over, they would go to the Lu Mansion together to show Lu Yao the embroidery patterns designed by their team.
But who would have thought that when the Cao family's team was training in the morning, Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan arrived early to watch the game, and they even made fun of them. Cao You couldn't hear this, so after the training,
Cao You said that he would wait until the Han family's training was completed before reporting to the Lu family. Then how could Han Qi defeat him? Besides, since everyone is here today, it would be interesting to see the training situation of the Han family and Zhang Maocai's team.
Not always possible.
So, the situation was reversed. When the Han family was training in the afternoon, they were mercilessly ridiculed by the Cao family again. The quarrel between the two parties became more and more intense. I have forgotten now. I don’t know who came up with the idea of using a game to decide the outcome.
This idea was immediately confirmed by Cao Yi and Han Yonghe.
The two people outside, Han Qi and Zhang Maocai, had completely become tool men at this time, and they could only follow them to find Zhe Kexing.
When he heard that Cao You and Han Wenyuan proposed the idea of a warm-up match, Zhe Kexing was surprised at first, but after thinking about it randomly, in fact, for this kind of first time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
For a new type of competition held, it is not a bad thing to have one or two warm-up matches before the official start. Moreover, through this warm-up match, the relationship between the two companies may also improve.
However, he was only an instructor. Once he agreed to participate in the warm-up match, how to arrange the next process was also a problem. Therefore, Zhe Kexing said that he would ask them to ask the actual organizer of this competition, Lu Yao.
Zhe Kexing's behavior is naturally not to blame Lu Yao for not wanting to do anything, but because he really doesn't know whether he should agree to this game. After all, if the relationship between the two families can pass this game,
It's okay to improve, but if it gets worse, then if you nod and agree to promote this competition, you won't cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, Lu Yao has always been resourceful. If these people ask Lu Yao, the result they get is still to be held.
Warm-up match, it means that Lu Yao has thought of a way to solve this problem, and in Lu Yao's opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages before agreeing to this request.
After hearing what Zhe Kexing said, Han Yonghe and Cao Yi both felt that they were going to the Lu Mansion today to discuss with Lu Yao about determining the embroidery pattern, so they both agreed. The other two tool men, Han
Qi and Zhang Maocai were eager to leave the training ground quickly and end this boring farce.
The four people left the palace. Although they were all going to the Lu Mansion, they took different carriages. Before getting on the carriage, Han Yonghe and Cao Yan told Zhang Maocai and Han Qi that in fact, the Wangcai team and the Goshawk team could also do a warm-up.
This way, it is easier to understand the strength of each other's teams. They said this naturally to prevent others from thinking that the warm-up match between them was just to vent their personal anger, and it should look better on the face of it.
However, Zhang Maocai and Han Qi looked at each other. They both knew that the other did not come to watch the training of other teams yesterday. They also knew the purpose of participating in this Cuju competition and the strength of the other. The most important thing is that this
The farce was originally a personal grudge between Han Yonghe and Cao Yi. Why did he get involved in it? So he tacitly expressed his rejection and his attitude was firm. Cao Yi and Han Yonghe had no choice but to give up.
Then, as before, the four companies came to Lu Yao to discuss the warm-up match and determining their respective team logos.
Lu Yao could see that Han Qi and Zhang Maocai were really not interested in this warm-up match at all, and their eyes conveyed more helplessness. Therefore, after determining their respective patterns,
Lu Yao had no intention of forcing these people to dine at his house.
As soon as I came here, I was about to retreat. I really didn’t want to cook today, and I even said I didn’t want to deal with one more thing.
Secondly, if you think about it carefully, this is the first time for Han Qi and Zhang Maocai to come to Lu Mansion. How can there be any reason to eat at someone else's house for the first time? Naturally, these two people would not agree, and Lu Yao
I also feel that I am an official of the imperial court after all. No matter how big or small the official is, he still has to save face. How can he stay in his house to eat when someone comes to his house? He really regards his place as the second Fan Lou.
Already?
However, if the Han family and the Cao family want to stay at their place to eat, Lu Yao can actually consider it.
To sum up, even though Lu Yao saw the expectant looks in Han Wenyuan, Cao Yi, and even Han Yonghe's eyes, Lu Yao remained indifferent. Finally, he waited until they could no longer sit still and prepared to leave and return home.
Lu Yao thought, he must be hungry. Seeing that I can't find anything to eat, it's important to go home and eat quickly.
It can be said that Han Qi and Zhang Maocai did not want to stay for a minute longer. For Zhang Maocai, the Lu Mansion is actually a sad place for him now. When he sees Lu Yao, Zhang Maocai will remember that he has made a lot of money from Zhao Zhen.
After thinking about money, he immediately thought about the acquisition of Guilu Inn. Moreover, he had dealt with Lu Yao before. Should he say it or not, his attitude when talking to Lu Yao before was quite arrogant.
It was precisely because of this attitude that he successfully made money from Zhao Zhen.
However, he was immediately tricked by Zhao Zhen and lost an inn. Although in Zhang Maocai's opinion, this matter had nothing to do with Lu Yao. Moreover, Lu Yao never took the initiative to talk about it, but no.
I know why, whenever Zhang Maocai saw Lu Yao, he always felt that Lu Yao wanted to say something to him, or make fun of him, which made Zhang Maocai feel very uneasy, so it would be better to leave early.
As for Han Qi, in fact, Han Qi's current impression of Lu Yao can be said to have changed from thinking that Lu Yao was a dandy to now, that is, he doesn't like or dislike him.
However, the dispute between Cao Yi and Han Yonghe today made Han Qi look down on him. As a high-ranking official and a relative, it is really incomprehensible that a game organized by the emperor can be treated as such a child's play. Anyway, this kind of team
, will eventually be defeated at the hands of his own Goshawk team. Today's affairs are all done, the pattern has been determined, and it is best to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Lu Yao had already seen through the minds of these two people, and he did not stop them from leaving.
"Today is really unlucky."
Han Qi and Zhang Maocai thought so, and then urged the groom to drive away quickly.
The only ones left were the Cao family and the Han family. Lu Yao first came to the carriage of the Cao family. Cao Yi thought that Lu Yao was going to say something to him, but Cao You gave his father a look that meant
Just let Cao Yi get in the car.
Although Uncle Cao Guo didn't say anything, he nodded to Lu Yao and then got on the carriage.
However, Uncle Cao Guo, who was sitting in the carriage, felt confused. When did his eldest son Cao You start to get so close to Lu Yao? Cao Yi recalled that, indeed, ever since Cao You returned from overseas
After arriving in Bianliang City, especially in the recent period, he seemed to have paid a lot of attention to Lu Yao, and he would always ask other people in the house about what Lu Yao had done so far.
What achievements, or in other words, how much money he made.
Cao Yi was naturally very puzzled. In his opinion, the current relationship between him and the Lu family could only be described as good or bad. Moreover, because of the misunderstanding caused by Lu Yao before, in fact, although Cao Yi did not say it with his mouth, he felt it in his heart.
There is still a hurdle, and I have a somewhat bad impression of Lu Yao.
However, Cao You, his son, showed great interest in Lu Yao.
Later, Cao Yi couldn't bear it anymore, so he called Cao You one day and asked him what he thought about why he was so interested in Lu Yao.
The answer given by Cao You is also very simple and clear.
"I want to see if he is the same type of person as me. If possible, I don't want him to become an official in the court and become my enemy in the future."
When Cao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. My son, do you still have any friends in this court? Since the last incident, if it weren't for his status as uncle, I am afraid that even Cao Yi's own cronies would have been killed.
You have to distance yourself.
But when it comes to Lu Yao, Cao Yi feels more at ease with him, thinking that Lu Yao will not become Cao Yu's enemy. Although his contact with Lu Yao is not that deep, he is worried that he can do it for him.
Judging from the attitude of the people in holding this Cuju competition, he should be very different from those officials who are corrupt and incompetent. Even if he cannot become friends with Cao You, he should not become an enemy.
Back to the present, Uncle Cao Guo saw the look in Cao You and Lu Yao's eyes just now. It was obvious that they had something to say to each other. Cao You, who was relatively simple, thought he was going to discuss some details about the new Cuju competition, so he went to the meeting.
I didn't ask any questions when I got the car.
That day, Uncle Cao Guo naturally didn't know that Cao Han followed Cao Yu to the Lu Mansion to talk to Lu Yao.
As for Lu Yao, from Cao Yi's surprised reaction just now, it can be seen that Cao You did not tell Uncle Cao Guo about that matter that day.
But think about it, if you really tell Cao Yi, it will definitely make Cao Yi angry to death. His daughter, despite the dark and windy night, changed into a servant's clothes and was still taken by her eldest brother.
I went to confess my love to a fifth-grade official, but was rejected in the end. If Cao Yi knew about this, it would be such an embarrassing thing. Cao You didn't want his father to be so embarrassed. Moreover, Cao Han
Bian probably only cared about being sad and couldn't let Cao Yi stand up for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao admired Cao Han's maturity. Although compared to Han Yunyu, Cao Han prefers to be direct and say anything. Although his personality is a bit hotter, but you can't communicate with such a person.
You won't feel any pressure. When you talk to her, you don't have to think about her mentality when talking, or how to deal with her.
However, Han Yunyu is very different. Han Yunyu likes Stone Records very much, which shows that she has a delicate mind. Lu Yao is not worried that she cannot see through Han Yunyu, but he is just worried that if there is a conflict in the future, or that it is done by him or his family.
What made her uncomfortable? If Cao Han would have told her face to face, and then the misunderstanding would be resolved, there would be no grudge. But Han Yunyu is different. She is very thoughtful and will probably not tell anyone.
The dissatisfaction and negative energy in her heart will accumulate in her heart. Once it reaches a breaking point, the consequences will be disastrous.
Furthermore, the two girls' attitudes towards love. After the previous dialogue between Cao Han and Lu Yao, Lu Yao was very sure that Cao Han had the ability of modern women to think independently in this regard. She did not want to marry someone she didn't like.
People will not fall madly in love with someone just by reading something written by that person. At this point, Han Yunyu and Cao Han form a huge contrast.
Lu Yao sometimes asks himself, after time travel, has his view of love changed? What kind of wife should he find?
It's just that Lu Yao is a shameless person. For one thing, he doesn't like Cao Han very much yet, but he still feels a little love at first sight for Han Yunyu. And the most important thing is that the Lu family, the Han family, and the Cao family
The three families had already been in trouble because of their engagements, and even Zhao Zhen knew about it. Naturally, everyone must also know that Lu Yao, the second son of the Lu family, was the one who wanted to break up the engagement in the first place.
, and it was he who wanted to resume the engagement later. Naturally, Lu Yao could no longer do anything about this matter, otherwise how would he let others view him?
"What, do you have something to tell me?"
A very cold voice interrupted Lu Yao's thoughts. Lu Yao looked forward and spoke.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was Cao You. From the tone of his voice, Lu Yao couldn't tell what his attitude was.
Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Is she, I mean Cao Han, okay?"
Cao You frowned, then sighed and said, "It's not that good. After I went back last night, I secretly cried in the room all day. When I got up this morning, my eyes were swollen. When my father asked me about it later, she said she didn't have any tears yesterday."
Sleep well."
Sure enough, Cao Han's reaction was actually what Lu Yao expected. This is also a normal reaction after a failed confession. Lu Yao thought about it and continued: "How is her condition today?"
"I didn't pay much attention. After breakfast, I went into the palace to go to the training ground, and then followed them here in the afternoon." When Cao Yu said this, he suddenly looked at Lu Yao and said, "Actually, what I want to say is, you
It is right to reject her. With the identity and status of our Cao family, even if my sister is willing to marry to your Lu family, my father will definitely not agree to her being a concubine. What's more, it is the Han family who is the official.
room."
Lu Yao nodded and said to himself that Cao You is still a sensible person. The relationship between the three families really cannot be too confusing, but Cao Yi is a person who loves his daughter very much, so if this matter needs to be solved from the root cause
, the core issue is still Cao Han. And yesterday was actually the best opportunity. After all, Cao Han came to Lu Yao alone, and no one else was present. He rejected Cao Han like this, and no one else was present.
Cao Han shouldn't be so uncomfortable, that's what Lu Yao thought in his heart.
"But." However, Cao You spoke again, "Cao Han is my sister after all. What you said that day, in fact, she told me later, I think you are like me, too direct.
After all, she is a girl, so it would be a little too sad for her."
"What you said makes sense." After hearing what Cao Yu said, Lu Yao lowered his head. Now that he thought about it, he actually went too far last night. "I actually hinted at her, but I don't know if she really didn't understand."
, I still pretend not to understand. In order to cut off the root cause, I think it’s better for me to be more direct.”
"I know, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." Cao You said, "Don't worry, I understand why you came to me now. One thing comes to another. I think the two of us are quite right. Don't worry.
I won’t hold a grudge against you for this matter.”
Cao You did not disappoint himself, Lu Yao thought in his heart. Ancient people have always attached great importance to family. In fact, it is difficult for someone not to bring personal grudges to the court or work. For example, the simplest
For example, this Cao Yi and Han Yonghe, it was actually a very small matter, that is, a farce of three marriages. Who would have known that Cao Yi and Han Yonghe, both of whom hold grudges, would be involved in this new type of Cuju competition.
superior.
If it weren't for grudges, why would they suddenly bring up the warm-up match today? However, Cao Yi and Han Yonghe have done a good job in this regard. They found a direction that would not affect the government and chose an entertainment event.
To resolve the conflicts between them, so that at least it will not affect their colleagues in the government and provoke war between them.
"Thank you, Brother Cao, for your understanding. In fact, I also hate Brother Cao for meeting him so late. One day after the imperial examination, I will invite Brother Cao to have a good drink at Jiuzhongxian." Lu Yao said with a bow.
Cao You smiled and said: "That's fine, I almost forgot. You are about to take the imperial examination. I hope you pass the imperial examination. I'm waiting for your wine. Oh, by the way, don't forget Dongpo Pork."
."
After speaking, Cao You pointed behind Lu Yao. Lu Yao saw that neither Han Yonghe nor Han Wenyuan got on the carriage. Instead, they looked at him with a very strange look. The meaning in Han Yonghe's eyes was,
Come to me quickly.
Lu Yao turned around and saw that Cao Yu had already boarded the carriage.
Lu Yao said: "Have a safe journey, Brother Cao, help me say I'm sorry to her."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Han family. Behind him, there was the sound of the Cao family's carriage leaving.
When Han Yonghe saw Lu Yao coming, he immediately asked: "What are you talking about with Cao Yu? It took so long."
Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Oh, he asked me to come up with some more ideas for their team's embroidery patterns to see if they can be better."
Han Wenyuan snorted coldly from the side and said: "The way their lion made it is really ugly, how can it be as domineering as our spear."
Lu Yaoxin said, your spear is not very good, so don't laugh at others.
Han Yonghe glanced at Han Wenyuan and motioned for him to get in the car first. After Han Wenyuan got on the car obediently, Han Yonghe came up and said, "I really didn't expect that you actually agreed to the warm-up match. With your wisdom, it seems that
If I don't come out, am I just talking angrily to that Cao Yi? I originally thought that if I find you and give us a step up, the matter will be settled, but who would have thought that you actually agreed."
Lu Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I know what you mean, but when I think about it carefully, it is really necessary to hold this warm-up match."
"Oh, how do you say this?" Han Yonghe asked.
So, Lu Yao then introduced to Han Yonghe the necessity of holding this warm-up match. First, it was to familiarize the team members with the material of the ground, the rules of the game, and check their own physical strength before the official game started.
You can take this opportunity to understand the strength of other teams.
Moreover, through this warm-up match, it can attract Zhao Zhen's attention, which will facilitate the royal family to further promote the upcoming formal new Cuju competition. Finally, even Lu Yao will also take the opportunity of this competition.
Let’s examine the refereeing and commentating abilities of the Kaifeng Mansion trio and the two brothers from the Su family. Don’t wait until they directly enter the official game and become at a loss. How embarrassing it would be if something goes wrong in front of countless people.
something.
After listening to Lu Yao's explanation, Han Yonghe finally understood the reason why Lu Yao agreed to hold the warm-up match, and said: "So that's it. I was only focusing on venting my energy at the time, and I really didn't think much about it."
Lu Yao smiled and said: "Actually, I came up with these ideas after you said you wanted to hold a warm-up match. Actually speaking of the warm-up match, I should actually thank you and Uncle Cao Guo. It's you
This request for a warm-up match gave me the opportunity to warm up before the official game starts, and if there are any problems, I can find them and correct them in time."
Han Yonghe nodded, and then said: "According to your prediction, who has a stronger team, me or Cao Yi?"
When Lu Yao heard this, he waved his hands and said: "I really don't know about this. I haven't gone to watch everyone's training in the past two days, and I don't know the situation of your training. I think as long as you perform normally, it will be fine. After all, this is just
It's a warm-up match, the result is not that important. In fact, I think you can find out what level the Cao family's team is through this match. If you can advance to the second round, the official match will be held.
It’s time for the real showdown.”
Lu Yao's words were very level, which directly dispelled Han Yonghe's fear of failing in the warm-up match.
Han Yonghe seemed to have no other questions about the warm-up match, but he remembered one more thing and said: "It's only a few days until the imperial examination. I see you've been busy these days.
Regarding preparations for this new Cuju competition, I wonder how the preparations for the imperial examination are going."
Sure enough, Han Yonghe was still worried about the imperial examination. However, it was related to his marriage with Han Yunyu, so it was normal for Han Yonghe to ask this question.
Therefore, Lu Yao did not intend to hide anything and was prepared to tell the truth. However, he still did not tell the matter about the open-book exam.
"Don't worry, I will do my best for my engagement with Yun Yu."
After hearing Lu Yao's decisive attitude, Han Yonghe finally felt relieved and said: "Listening to what you said, it seems that you are very confident, so that's good."
At this point, Han Yonghe turned his head, glanced at the carriage, sighed, and turned back and said: "Actually, to tell you the truth, I originally planned to hone Wenyuan through this new Cuju competition, and also inspect it by the way.
Let’s take a look at his ability to do things, but now it seems that his ability is indeed not as good as yours. I thought, if you can join the court as an official, I can have one more helper, and the Han family may also give it to me in the future.
You are."
Lu Yao looked at Han Yonghe and thought that he should also know that he was getting older and it was difficult for Han Wenyuan to take on a big responsibility. Today he couldn't help but sigh and said these words to himself. These are the words that only people who truly treat themselves as a family would say.
Although Lu Yao may not necessarily have the same opinions as the Han family even after he actually joins the court as an official, but now, he naturally cannot disappoint, so Lu Yao bowed and said very seriously: "Don't worry, I will live up to your expectations."
My expectation is that when I marry Yun Yu, we will be a family, and I will do my best to protect the Han family."
Han Yonghe was very satisfied with Lu Yao's answer, nodded, and then got on the carriage. Lu Yao watched until the carriage completely left his sight.
Finally, these people all left, and Lu Yao returned home. Lu Xu was already waiting there in the main hall. In fact, it was Lu Yao who asked his father to wait in the main hall just now, saying that he had something to talk to.
he said.
Lu Xu originally thought that he wanted to discuss the warm-up match or the new Cuju competition with him. Unexpectedly, after Lu Yao returned to the main hall, he looked at Lu Xu and said something else.
"Father, I have something to tell you. From tomorrow until before the imperial examination, I will be studying hard in seclusion in my room. Except for eating, I will not leave the room, and everything will be suspended.
."
Only then did Lu Xu realize that he had been counting the days. He wanted to talk to Lu Yao about whether he should read a book these days. After all, there were only eight days before the imperial examination. Lu Xu could do it before.
