Chapter 549 0546 [Happy filial piety]

Among a group of brothers and sisters, Zhao Gou, who was once a little transparent, got along best.

The main reason is that he can put down his face.

For example, two brothers, Zhao Mo and Zhao Zhen, even if they settle down to farm outside the city, they still act like princes, so they can't get along.

In contrast, Zhao Gou flourished in Tokyo and became one of the top helpers in the city.

Gangxian is a characteristic of ancient times and can be found in almost every county.

It is equivalent to the tour guide and companion in later generations, and sometimes even runs errands and delivers food.

When you first arrive in an unfamiliar county, finding a helper can solve many problems and save you a lot of worry.

You don’t have to worry about being cheated, what you are getting is actually credibility.

Once someone is deceived, the local gangsters will unite and work together until the black sheep is driven out of the business.

There were hundreds of spectators sitting scattered in the stands.

When there are more people, there will naturally be vendors.

Hearing this, Zhao Gou said humbly: "Brothers, please don't praise me too highly. This Cuju origin battle requires concerted efforts. Individual bravery is nothing. We can win today because of the good play of our brothers. I have to take care of Qiyunshe’s main force, otherwise I wouldn’t have a chance to score.”

Firstly, it is novel, and secondly, it satisfies vanity.

Gao Qiu is a master of free play. It is said that he can head the ball while walking and ensure that the ball does not fall to the ground.

This is also thanks to cement, otherwise it would be impossible to build such a large venue with only mortises and nails.

With this extremely exquisite goal, the martial arts club won the final victory with a slight advantage of one point.

For a moment, the members of the martial arts club gathered around and started praising him.

Although he is not as well-dressed and well-fed as he once was, he is still relatively wealthy in Tokyo, and from time to time he can take his wife and children to Fanlou for a meal.

Otherwise, keeping this kind of rat excrement will cause them to have no food to eat.

Zhuqiu is a formal game. Each team has 12 people, with a maximum of 16 people. The players have a clear division of labor, including "ball head", "throwing the ball", "front hold", "head hold", "left pole net", "right pole net", "scattered stand", etc.

The shacks that originally stretched for dozens of miles have disappeared and been replaced by a huge Cuju field.

"Thanks to King Kang, otherwise I would have been embarrassed again today."

Playing for free is just a show job, using your head, shoulders, back, and feet to bounce the ball. There are no requirements for the venue or personnel. A person can just find an open space to play.

"nice shot!"

Relying on a large income, Zhao Gou's family is living quite well.

The person who scored the goal just now was none other than Zhao Gou.

On the court, a man with strong skills was seen dancing and moving around. The ball seemed to come alive under his feet. After passing several people, the man knocked down the golden hook and kicked the ball accurately into Fengliu's eyes.

And as a prince, he also knows many palace secrets, which can satisfy the curiosity of many people.

It can accommodate up to 6,800 spectators at the same time. Although it is far from the 10,000 people proposed by Han Zhen, it was already very rare in the Song Dynasty.

The rules are basically the same as those of later generations of football.

The arched design is like a giant bowl tilted upside down on the ground.

"color!"

Secondly, Zhao Gou knows a lot about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, eating, drinking and having fun. He is proficient in all the famous games in Tokyo. Influenced by Zhao Ji, he is good at Cuju, and his business capabilities and scope can be said to be extensive.

"So damn beautiful!"

Compared with other helpers, Zhao Gou has many advantages.

"Kang Wang's ball is beautiful."

Today, there is a competition going on in the Cuju arena. Both sides are famous Cuju clubs in the capital.

This martial arts club is a newly built Cuju club. Most of its members are the children of high-ranking officials, and there are also many sons of wealthy businessmen. Zhao Gou has been able to get along well in the club with his good skills. In addition, he is good at getting into trouble, and he is often willing to be a green leaf. , passed a few good balls, and made the members extremely happy.

Most of the people who came to Zhao Gou by name were either rich or noble, and they were given enough fees and rewards. At the end of the day, they could earn as much as ten guan, and they were lucky enough to have hundreds of guan in a day.

Since the completion of the Cuju Stadium, it has become the third largest landmark after Daxiangguo Temple and Dongxiwa Shizi.

A burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the stands.

When the children of wealthy businessmen or officials come to Beijing, it is very prestigious to have the former prince of Zhao and Song accompanying them as a helper.

The first is the identity of the prince.

There were two types of Cuju games in the Song Dynasty, one was for entertainment called "Baida", and the other was for competition called "Zhuqiu".

"Kang Wang's skills are so good, I admire him so much."

These words made all the members feel happy.

Compared with the newly built martial arts club, Qiyun Club has a great reputation.

A young man said arrogantly: "Straight bitch, I finally won the Qiyun Club for once. Today I am the host. I go to Fanlou to have a good meal, and I hope my brothers will reward me."

Nowadays, the streets outside the gate of the Cuju venue have become extremely busy and lined with vendors.

East City.

In the city of Tokyo, it is the leading Cuju club with a long history. It was founded during the reign of Emperor Taizu and has been in existence for more than 160 years. It has tens of thousands of members spread all over the world, including Ding Wei, Li Bangyan, Gao Qiu and others. The powerful ministers and prime ministers were all members of Qiyun Society.

Every year when spring is warm and flowers are blooming, Qiyun Club will send out hero posts widely, convene Cuju clubs from various counties and counties, and hold a national Cuju competition called: Mountain Competition.

When Zhao Ji was in power, he would also invite members of the Qiyun Society to perform in the palace.

Therefore, it is indeed worthy of their happiness to win Qiyun Society once.

"Okay, Third Brother is awesome!"

"I won't come back until I'm drunk!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

The group of people were talking and laughing and were about to leave when they heard a voice: "Brothers, don't worry, we haven't confiscated the interest yet." The young man who said he wanted to treat the guests earlier slapped his forehead: "Yes, forget about this. ”

The so-called interest refers to the bet before the game.

Of course, there is very little gambling in competitions between clubs, and there are some rules for punishment, such as wearing women's clothes and swaggering through the market, or swimming back from the river, etc.

The rule set today is that the losing party will be the bearer of the chair for the winning party.

Naturally, there is no sedan chair, so we just ride on the other party's shoulders.

The players from the Qiyun Club were all stubborn people. They squatted down one after another and let the players from the martial arts club ride on their shoulders.

If you want to get along in the city of Tokyo, you must be able to afford it. If you are always slanderous and default on your debts, who will be naughty with you?

"Frame it, frame it!"

A group of people left the Cuju venue laughing and joking and headed straight to Fan Tower.

"My lord, my lord."

As he was walking, he heard a familiar voice.

Zhao Gou followed the reputation and found that she was indeed his maid.

Zhao Gou jumped off the members of Qiyun Club and asked, "What's wrong?"

The maid said: "Madam asked the servant to call you to go back quickly."

Zhao Gou frowned slightly: "What happened?"

The maid glanced at the others and whispered: "Your Majesty... the master is back."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou's expression changed.

The members of the Martial Arts Club and Qiyun Club looked at him with strange expressions.

Facing everyone's joking gazes, Zhao Gouqiang laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, let's go play. I have something to do at home. Let's get together some other time."

"Since Prince Kang has something to do at home, he will go back first."

"Farewell."

Zhao Gou cupped his hands, turned around and left with his maid.

"Why are you here, Father?"

Zhao Gou asked with a gloomy face.

He already had resentment towards Zhao Ji, his father, and today's sudden visit also gave him a vague premonition.

The maid answered truthfully: "It seems that the master and the third minister have no place to stay and plan to defect to the master."

Surrender yourself?

Zhao Gou's heart suddenly thumped.

It stands to reason that even if the father is reduced to a prisoner, he should be treated politely, given a title of idleness, rewarded with a mansion, and then kept in captivity.

Throughout the dynasties, this process was basically followed when dealing with kings who were subjugated.

But now, she heard from the maid that her father and third brother had come to seek refuge with her. I'm afraid the matter was not simple.

Could it be that his father angered Han Zhen?

The more Zhao Gou thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He is living a pretty good life now, and he is becoming more and more ambitious. He is planning to save some money and buy a small courtyard, but he does not want to be implicated by his father.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou made up his mind that he would never let his father and third brother live in his home.

Zhao Gou now rents a small, single-family courtyard in an alley in the outer city. The area is not large, but in Tokyo, a place where land is at a premium, the rent is not cheap, at 80 guan per month.

When he opened the courtyard door, he saw his father and his third brother sitting in the living room. His wife, Xing Bingyi, was holding her son, who had just turned one year old, by her side, with a neutral expression on her face.

Obviously, Xing Bingyi did not welcome the sudden visit of Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai.

Seeing Zhao Gou come back, Zhao Ji said hello: "Jun Hu is back."

"The child has met his father, third brother."

Zhao Gou bowed and saluted.

Zhao Ji said with concern: "Why are you sweating all over? Sit down and have a rest."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou sneered in his heart. His father used to be indifferent to him, but now that he came to seek refuge, he started to pretend to care about him.

"It's normal for children to sweat a little while working on a construction site."

As Zhao Gou spoke, he took out dozens of copper coins from his arms, handed them to Xing Bingyi, and said, "This is today's wages. I'm going to buy some food to entertain my father and third brother."

Xing Bingyi is also a clever person. He immediately understood what his husband meant. After taking the money, he whispered: "Husband, the landlord will come to collect the rent tomorrow. Our rent for this month has not been paid yet."

Zhao Gou pretended to be unhappy: "I'll think of a way, you go first."

"Ah."

Xing Bingyi responded, hugged his son and left.

Seeing the couple singing together, Zhao Kai sneered and said, "Brother Ninth is quite interesting. He can't even pay the rent, but he still has spare money to hire a maid."

Zhao Gou had already had a countermeasure and immediately replied: "This maid was hired by Bingyi's family. She had just given birth and was weak. I had to work during the day and was worried that I wouldn't be able to take care of her. So my father-in-law sent her from Xiangfu's hometown. Come and take care of their mother and son."

Xing Bingyi's father, Xing Huan, was the chief registrar of Sishui County in Mengzhou. He was a fairly honest official and was not liquidated after Han Zhen occupied the Central Plains.

After all, when choosing a concubine for a prince, reputation is the most important thing.

Generally, the daughters of clean officials with good official reputations are selected.

"..."

Zhao Kai's tone paused.
