Chapter 418 Cuju
The square is flat and large, with low walls on three sides and one side for halls, pavilions, buildings and platforms, which can be used as stands.

The road was dizzying. At this time, these places were full of people, obviously to watch Cuju.Several teams have already gone to the square, all dressed in uniform, it is clear at a glance which team they belong to.

There are already several teams ready to play, and they are stretching their limbs on the field.

"Why is it called Qiyun Society?" Dao asked while watching the excitement.

"Little brother, you don't even know this?" Wang Xuanzhi and the others were preparing for Cuju matters. There were many strangers sitting next to him. He looked at Daoyi with a face full of surprise, and heard her answer naturally, "Yes, that's right. Not long after I came to Chang'an, there are still many things I don't understand."

"Then you are asking the right person, my little brother told you that as long as you give me a tael of silver, I will tell you about Qiyun Club and everything about Cuju, how about it?" The man looked at her expectantly. , I am in a hurry to go out, so I can only earn some money first for emergency.

Daoyi looked at this man who was about her age, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He could ask for anything, but this man actually asked her for money. Didn't he say to her, "Hey, boy, I think your life is good, bring it here. stop."

Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it either.

She was about to get angry, when she heard someone next to her say, "Xiaoqi, don't be rude."

Daoyi thought the voice was familiar, and couldn't help being amused, he was an acquaintance all over the capital.

Isn't this the Ruan Si I just met? She greeted her kindly, "Ruan Langjun!"

The strange little man turned pale with fright. He, who was changing his voice, raised his voice unexpectedly, like a broken bronze drum, ravaging the ears of others, "Brother, do you know each other?"

"Well, it's my brother's friend." Dao Yi's words got stuck in his throat when he just met him.

Ruan Si cupped his hands and saluted, "Master Xiaoyi, it's the seventh younger brother who is being rude. This kid is used to doing these opportunistic things, but he has no malicious intentions." His hand landed on the opponent's head accurately, "Still Don't make an apology to Master Xiaoyi, if she is not generous, you can wait to cry."

Dao was startled secretly, unexpectedly, the instant 'evil' thought was captured by Ruan Si.She couldn't help but sigh, God is really fair, if he takes away some things from him, he will compensate him in other ways.

With a bitter face, Ji Qilang acted coquettishly, "Brother."

Ruan Si couldn't deny it, "If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. It's better for the eldest brother to go home and say that you cheated money from your brother's friend."

Ruan Qilang's face really changed this time, "Brother, Xiao Qi is really wrong, don't go home and tell me." He walked up to Dao Yi coyly, "Well, Master Xiao Yi, I'm sorry, I just saw you Liansheng, I want to earn some money for tea."

The corner of her mouth twitched, what kind of tea would cost one tael of silver, her flesh really hurts.

She would rather drink the wild tea grown on Jiuxiaoguan Mountain, and she can drink whatever she wants without money.

"It's all right, you traded the news anyway, and it didn't infringe my interests." Daoyi kept the money and was happy in his heart, so how could he care about it, "That's the one you still tell me about Qi Is it about Yunshe?"

Ruan Qilang was speechless. He had always plucked other people's wool during various banquets and activities. How come this kid almost balds his hair today. However, no one is strong in the situation, and his elder brother is also listening.

He tried his best to lose energy and blood, "If we want to talk about Qiyun Club, we must first start with the origin of Cuju. This is a game invented by Qi people during the Warring States Period. 'Seventy thousand households in Linzi... even Wealthy but solid, all its people play Yu, Guzi, build, play the qin, fight cocks, running dogs, Liubo, and taju.’ Among them, the Cuju mentioned is today’s Boxi.”

"What is Cuju? Cu means to kick, and "Ju" is a ball covered with leather and filled with rice bran. Did Master Xiaoyi see the two gates?" Ruan Qilang pointed to the two nets hanging in the air, " The comparison is that the kick is higher, and it is easier to kick in. Then what is the highest, of course, is to kick into Yunxiao, 'Qiyun' is the dream of every player, and 'Qiyun Club' was born from this. "

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "In the Western Han Dynasty, Xiang Chu, who was the "Anling Banli Public Carrier", was obsessed with "Cuju". Although he was seriously ill, he still refused to follow the doctor's advice and continued to go out to play Cuju. He died in the end."

Ruan Qilang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Now you know the charm of Cuju."

Daoyi shook his head seriously, "I haven't played it before, I don't know, and I don't comment."

Ruan Si pointed him again, "There should be rules for this kind of game, let's talk about it together."

Ruan Qilang's face became even more bitter, and when he saw Dao he snickered, bared his teeth at him, and said resignedly, "There are twenty points that need to be remembered."

"Ah?!" Dao was taken aback, "Why don't you just play Cuju, and there are so many demands."

Ruan Qilang looked at her strangely, "Where did you come from, why don't you understand anything?"

Daoyi raised his head proudly, "Nine Heavens Temple!"

Ruan Qilang looked around in his mind, but he couldn't find it, "Where is that place, but it seems familiar."

Daoyi declared domineeringly, "That is a good place that everyone yearns for."

If Ling Xuzi and Bao Yi were here, their eyes would be taken out of their eyes. This apprentice and junior sister are going to act like demon moths again.It's a pity that the two of them are still unable to get out in a certain mountain, and the person in front of her is not very familiar with her.

"You'd better talk about the twenty o'clock!" Dao Yi wanted to take advantage of Ruan Si's inattention, and took the initiative to bring up other topics.

Ruan Qilang said: "First of all, remember that there are ten important things, 'be kind, be faithful, be sincere, be kind, be gentle, be friends, be respectful, be modest, be courteous, and be spirited'."

"There are also ten prohibitions, 'Abstain from talking too much, abstain from gambling, abstain from fighting, abstain from right and wrong, abstain from arrogance, abstain from deceit, abstain from arrogance, abstain from litigation, abstain from frivolity, and abstain from drinking and sex'. Only when these twenty regulations are met can one end the game." try."

Dao Yi kept his mouth open, letting the hot wind rage.

"Daoyi, you are here, Siqing is looking for you." Xu Nanting ran over cheerfully.

He also changed his clothes, sky blue, same as Ruan Si's, even Ruan Qilang also changed, Tao Yi thoughtfully, after bidding farewell to the Ruan family brothers, he followed Xu Nanting, "Siqing What do you want me to do now, I have already found a good place to watch the excitement."

The corner of Ruan Si's mouth curled up, "Xiao Qi, what do you think of this way?"

Ruan Qilang jumped up on the spot, "She is Daoyi. I said that Jiuxiao Temple is so familiar."

Jisi found the right position with her hand and patted him, "I'm almost weak, and she's still so frizzy, like a child. Brother, I'm asking you, how is she?"

Before Ruan Qilang could think of anything, he heard him say, "There are not many people who can gain An Dao's trust, but they can't bear the burden."

"Brother is also very optimistic about her."

"The one who knows me is Xiaoqi."

Ruan Qi: "What did brother Andao ask her to do?"

 In the text: the uncle can bear it, but the aunt can't bear it either.

  Original: It is tolerable, what is unbearable.

  Cuju existed during the Warring States Period, but it was most popular in the Song Dynasty and declined in the Qing Dynasty.

  The rules here refer to those of the Song Dynasty, and there are few materials about the Tang Dynasty.
