Lord Jiaren County leaned on the couch as if this was my home, holding on to the promised Mrs. Tang and not letting go. 【Read full text】
Xu Nuo's hands and feet get cold easily, so when winter comes, she holds onto this soup dumpling and treats it as a treasure.
At this moment, her baby was taken away by others and still in her arms, and she felt bad all over.
His eyes glanced at Mrs. Tang twice, moved his already cold hands in his sleeves, forced his eyes to the face of Lord Jiaren, and asked: "I wonder where Lord Jiaren entered the palace today?" Why?"
"I came to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and then I heard that you were sick, so I came over to take a look." Jiaren County Lord straightened up and glanced at Xu Nuo with pride on his face. It said on his face that I am from the Cide Palace. A frequent visitor, the Queen Mother often announces me as a member of the palace. This kind of treatment is not something ordinary people can get.
Xu Nuo nodded, thinking that the Lord Jiaren County should have come directly from the Queen Mother, so Ji Xuan should not have passed when she left, otherwise she would not fail to mention it with her personality of always showing off in her words. Regarding the little miracle doctor Ji Xuan who was summoned by the Emperor and the Queen Mother one after another.
Xunuo leaned lazily on the table and replied, "Everything is fine with me. The county master doesn't have to worry."
"Although I feel fine now, it's best not to do strenuous exercise these days, otherwise it will be bad if you faint again. Just be careful and don't take your body seriously."
The mayor of Jiaren County had a polite smile on his face that he usually used when meeting guests, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes. He was really sincere and yet still polite.
Xu Nuo couldn't believe her ears. County Lord Jiaren sounded like he really cared about her. Could it be that she had overthought and misunderstood County Lord Jiaren?
At this moment, the head of Jiaren County said again: "There will be a Cuju competition in a few days. You are not feeling well yet, so there is no need to go. I know that Hu Sanniang has a good relationship with you. She wants to participate in this Cuju competition, maybe She will come looking for you and ask you to join her. Just remember to find a reason to reject her when the time comes, so as not to hurt your body."
He looked like he was thinking about his promise.
Xu Nuo didn't have time to do a self-examination and found that he had not misunderstood Jiaren County Master at all, but that Jiaren County Master was out of breath for too long when he spoke.
She was not in a hurry to answer, but asked instead: "What kind of Cuju competition is it? I have never heard of it. Lord Jiaren County, you might as well tell me about it."
"Every year around December, several major Cuju clubs in Bianjing city jointly hold a Cuju competition. In the first month of the first month, the Cuju troupe that wins the first place can enter the palace to perform in front of civil and military officials." Jiaren County Lord explained with a smile, but he didn't Say more, don't look at the promise meaningfully.
Xu Nuo knew that Cuju was popular in the Song Dynasty. Many nobles liked Cuju. In addition to watching it, many also liked to play it in person.
Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, there was a women's Cuju team specifically for viewing, so there was nothing wrong with women like Jiaren County Lord and Hu Ling participating.
Because she was relatively familiar with the culture of the Song Dynasty, Xu Nuo did not show any surprise after hearing this. Instead, she thought of the meaning behind the words of Jiaren County Master and guessed what she had not said, so she asked according to her own inference: "So that's the case. Since Hu Sanniang participated in the Cuju competition, I wonder if you, Lord Jiaren County, participated?"
"The Cuju club I work for is called Huafang Club. It has won first place in Cuju competitions many times. If it is said to be the second strongest Cuju club in Bianjing City, no other Cuju club dares to claim the first place."
The head of Jiaren County looked proud as he spoke, and then said with disdain: "Hu Sanniang quit our Huafang Club before the Chinese New Year the year before last and formed a Cuju Club of her own, called Qiyun Club."
Such a loud tone, she really thinks she can equal Qi Yun! Don’t be ashamed to have such a name!
Will that guy Hu Ling know how to pick people? There are only a few people in Qiyun Club whose family background and appearance are acceptable.
Moreover, the movements of those people in Qiyun Club when playing Cuju are so ugly that I really don’t know how they practice on daily basis. These movements are not for people to watch at all, they are purely crude and reckless.
With such a team, Hu Ling dared to brazenly say that he would surpass Huafang Society within three years. It was really overestimating his capabilities.
In order to maintain his dignified and elegant image, County Lord Jiaren did not say the following words out loud, but he vomited them in his heart very quickly.
When the head of Jiaren County said this, Xu Nuo still didn't understand.
The fact that Hu Ling came out of Huafang Club to form a Cuju club was mostly due to Jiaren County Lord. There was a feud between the two and they were preparing to compete in the Cuju competition, so Jiaren County Lord took the trouble to come here. "Visiting patients".
Xu Nuo made a judgment in his mind and asked deliberately: "Jiaren County Lord may not know that I am very curious about Cuju. How about I join the Huafang Club and compete with you, Jiaren County Lord?"
After hearing this, the head of Jiaren County waved his hand without any hesitation: "No, you haven't gone through formal training, your movements are not standard, and you haven't cooperated with us. I'm afraid you won't be able to play by then. Even if you do, it will affect other people." Let’s show off, we can’t wait to perform in the palace.”
The Lord of Jiaren County said so much, but he only had one sentence in his mind: You will hold us back.
But she is a noble girl, a well-educated lady, and she would not say such vulgar words.
Xu Nuo waited for County Lord Jiaren to express his position. After hearing this, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I will go to Qiyun Society. It may affect their performance and hold them back, which can be regarded as helping Hua." Fangshe.”
After hearing this, the head of Jiaren County waved his hands again, and the expression on his face broke for the first time: "No, what will happen if you go there? You are not well yet, take care of yourself first, we will talk about these things later."
She didn't expect Xu Nuo to say the words "delay". If it weren't for Xu Nuo's righteous words, she would have thought Xu Nuo knew what she was thinking.
Xu Nuo smiled and continued to say righteously that she must go to Qiyun Club for Huafang Club and Jiaren County Lord. Finally, Jiaren County Lord was forced to admit that Qiyun Club was short of one person and could not participate in the official competition. If Only after Xu Nuo went, Qi Yunshe was qualified to compete.
Xu Nuo was happy when she heard this, and decisively said that she must go to Qiyun Society. No matter how County Lord Jiaren tried to persuade her, she always had the attitude that I am an honest person and I will not change my decision once it is made.
The head of Jiaren County simply dug a hole for himself today, jumped into it himself, and asked for a promise to bury it.
She was so angry that she failed to achieve her goal, but she didn't want to show any emotion on her face or damage her image. She just said a few words and ran away in confusion.
Xu Nuo finally got his Tang Pozi back and curled up in bed contentedly, waiting for night to fall.
That night she kept listening to the noise outside, and she fell asleep when there was no sound in the second half of the night.

Cuju was very popular during the Northern Song Dynasty, but there was no formal-scale Cuju club. It was only in the Southern Song Dynasty that it appeared. Its appearance here is entirely necessary for the plot.
"Qiyunshe" really existed and is considered the earliest football club in the world. r1152
