rich concubine

Chapter 1872

He Zhiyuan sighed and said: "This Cuju competition has not been held for many years. It sounds like you think it is fun, but in fact it is not as innocent as you think."

Rong Yi really doesn't understand. Cuju competition is easier for women. They can move and have fun without too many restrictions. Of course, they are a little more lively than those who are more elegant.

Is there anything special about this?

He Zhiyuan said: "In this Cuju competition, any girl with some respect and family background will just sit in the audience and be a spectator. No one will change their clothes, take off their hairpins, and actually go on the court to kick a ball." Often those who participate in such competitions are those from a lower background or are concubines in their families, who are not valued much and who have some hopes."

Speaking of this, He Zhiyuan's face became a little strange. She said: "This women's Cuju competition was established more than ten years ago. It disappeared about seven years ago. There is a reason for this."

She raised the top note too high, whetting Rong Yi's appetite, making Rong Yi curious: "What's the reason?"

He Zhiyuan looked at her, lowered his voice, and said: "I was still quite young at that time. Before I got married, I went to watch the competition with my mother. It looked really good. I remember that when the Cuju competition just started, it was the folk custom. At the beginning of the opening up, the requirements for women were not so strict, and women's competitions were encouraged. However, the centuries-old ideas have not been completely let go. Many families are not willing to let their daughters go out and show themselves in public, wearing pants. Put on the arena and play Cuju in front of everyone. Therefore, from the very beginning, those who could enter the arena were those from lower-class families who wanted to cling to the powerful. They sent their daughters to the arena to get a quota. , so that this game can be held in a glorious manner and have something to watch, so that both the person in charge and the spectators in the audience can also have something to watch. If someone is lucky, how will the daughter sent to the field be affected? There is nothing better than being appreciated by a powerful person in the family and being able to support and support his family.”

"This……"

"By the time such a trend has spread, such competitions have long since changed. At the beginning, the girls on the field were all strong and handsome, some were good-looking, and some were very good at it. He can kick and run very well. From an aesthetic point of view, he is naturally not beautiful, but in terms of competition, he is still quite beautiful. But later on, the first delicate and weak person appeared on the field, who could fall down in just one run. The taste changes completely when it comes to a delicate girl who wants to show off her beauty."

At this point, Rong Yi has already guessed what will happen next, and she can't help but sigh. A game that originally had a good meaning has slowly developed into a trading place on the table. It is really... sad.

She said: "What's the point of holding such a competition?"

He Zhiyuan said: "Of course we feel that such a competition has long lost its fun, but it is the greatest benefit to the people who organize this competition and some people who go to watch the competition. Some people send their daughters to Go to the competition venue and give the organizer money and valuable things. Only by opening this path can your daughter be guaranteed to get into the competition venue. The organizer has interests to talk about, so he will naturally continue to hold the event happily and achieve a high standard. Show your style, and the people sitting in the audience are not limited to the wives and ladies of any family, but also some romantic figures will be on the field, watching the girls running and smiling, the game has already begun It’s become nonsense.”

"Is this...this kind of competition still allowed to be held?"

He Zhiyuan said: "Just like corruption and bribery, those shady things will naturally not be revealed to the public. Everyone hides it tacitly. According to the character of His Majesty today, he knows that in such a competition, behind the scenes With such an interest relationship, it is natural to liquidate it. Unfortunately, it was hidden deeply at that time, and the beneficiaries and beneficiaries naturally kept their mouths tightly shut. How some officials were promoted at that time was all due to their outstanding performance on the field. 's daughter."

She bit the word "excellent" very hard, sighed and shook her head.

"This kind of thing will shorten your life span. If you do too much, you will be punished sooner or later. I wonder if you have heard of Uncle Sui Yang." Rong Yi nodded. Those were old uncles who had been dead for many years, or The old uncle of the former Qi State carried Qi Congmeng on his back.

He Zhiyuan said: "It was because of him that this competition was banned by the royal family and was not allowed to be held again. At that time, a minor official wanted to be promoted, so he sent the youngest concubine in his family to the competition. The little concubine was only 14 years old. , but she is tall and slender, she is indeed a beauty. The girl really thought that she was going to the competition, because the official deceived her and said that as long as she got a good ranking in the competition, she would go to see more in the future. Look at her aunt, but since she went to the stadium, she has never been able to go home. She was carried to the uncle's house in a small sedan that day. Did you know that at that time, the old uncle was already in his seventies!"

Rong Yi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Over 70!? But...but that girl is still a child, she can be his great-granddaughter!"

He Zhiyuan nodded sullenly and said cryptically: "Who says it's not the case? But the older this person gets, the weirder he becomes, especially a rich and powerful person like him. It was only after I got married that I heard this My mother said he has some quirks, and even for such a young girl, he has done harm to even younger ones."

Rong Yi was still shocked: "But this is too young! It is indeed common for men to covet beauty, and it is not uncommon for young girls to be young, but at his age, how can he still have the energy to harm others?"

He Zhiyuan also shook his head, feeling regretful and disdainful, and said: "I heard that the girl refused to obey and suffered a lot. She was tortured to the point that she was no longer human. You are right, normal men, even if they are... I like young girls, but I'm not that perverted. I'm over 70, so I feel a little abnormal in my heart. Then the girl ran away for some reason, and there was no good land on her body. Fortunately, I let her run out. Guess who she bumped into? You know this person."

Rong Yi paused for a moment and thought about it. Yuan Niang said, "It's a good thing we let her run out." She ran out and bumped into someone again. Then this person's status must not be too low, otherwise she wouldn't be able to control her. After getting into trouble, he said, "Are you talking about King An Ning?"

He Zhiyuan shook his head: "Close."

near?

Rong Yi's expression changed: "Could it be the eldest princess?"

He Zhiyuan looked at her and nodded.

Rong Yi opened her eyes wide, with a hint of disbelief. She was really the eldest princess!
Something... mysterious!The eldest princess looked over and saw that she didn't seem to be such a warm-hearted person.
