"Today's total gambling win was 9,700 taels. The princess paid 1,300 taels and got one thousand, three hundred taels.
The little princess asked for 20 taels, so she got 260 taels.
Lin Nuxia will get 3,900 taels if she puts down the original three hundred taels;
The rest belongs to me, and you must be fine with it.
Furthermore, today I won two hundred gold from gambling; the princess should get a big share of the horse and take one hundred gold;
I came up with the idea that Lin Nvxia rides the horse, and each gets fifty gold. "
On the way back, several "shareholders" gathered in the carriage and divided the gold and silver on a large scale.
"What about me? I'm working very hard to cheer for my aunt." The little princess pouted, feeling it was unfair.
Song Che smiled, took out another ingot of silver from his share, and put it into the hands of the little princess: "You can come now, right?"
"Tan'er, you are still young, what do you need so much gold and silver for? You have kept all these things and will give them to you as a dowry when you grow up."
Princess Han went to get it, but the little princess hurriedly pressed the gold and silver under her body, shaking her head like a rattle, "I don't want it, my mother-in-law is always cheating. That's how you cheated me of my new year's money last time!" "
"You kid, you've been so rich since you were a kid, and you'll still have it when you grow up..."
"The princess is joking. The little princess is a daughter of a wealthy family. She is the apple of her eye. She is one of the best among people, and her wealth is reasonable."
"Hehehe..."
With gold ingots in hand and silver ingots in arms, the laughter and laughter in the carriage continued all the way.
"Oh, by the way, Song Che." Lin Yue suddenly called.
Song Che rubbed his nose, "I'm really not used to it when you suddenly stopped calling me 'pawn'."
"No joking, it's business," Lin Yue was worried, "The prince likes to play Cuju, and everyone in Luoyang knows that. Although our servants in the palace can also play, they are just two-handed swordsmen. How can we win him?"
Song Che shook his head and said, "Even if we can defeat him, we will never be able to defeat him."
"Why?" Lin Yue asked doubtfully.
Song Che glanced at Han Xiang and said: "The prince is arrogant and very competitive. There are few people in the racecourse today, so winning him will not have much impact, but on the Mid-Autumn Festival night tomorrow, there will be thousands of spectators." Wan, if he loses, it won't just be about winning or losing, it may even involve the prince."
Han Xiang sighed: "Mr. Song is absolutely right. When you are born in an emperor's family, you have to be careful in everything, especially the status of the prince. If you are not as good as the prince, you may be considered to have compassion and be suspected of stealing the heir."
Princess Han is considered a very open-minded woman in the current era when she can be exposed to her own man.
"Then according to what you say, we are going to bet on an unwinnable game with the prince?" Lin Yue reluctantly looked at the gold and silver in his hands: "The prize money for the Cuju competition will definitely be more than that for the horse racing. We Most of the winnings will be sent back."
Song Che smiled and said: "When a much-anticipated Cuju competition is successfully held, the money will flow into my pocket like running water. A small fortune is nothing to mention."
Of course, since the competition must not be frivolous, Luochao will not be able to hold it if it cannot attract the attention of the masses. It is not necessary to win this Cuju competition, but it must be performed with style and inspire the passion of all Cuju lovers in the world.
Since the national football team a thousand years later is unsatisfactory, let’s make it shine in ancient times!
Return to the palace.
Lin Yue worried about the servants who usually accompanied the prince to play Cuju, and asked them to put on their fancy clothes and play a fake game first.
Although they both play football with their feet, the rules, playing methods, and venues are all very different.
There are usually two ways to play Cuju in Daliang:
The first type is called "free play", there is no goal, each participating team sends the same number of players, the minimum is one, the maximum is no more than ten.
Participants take turns performing ball skills in the field, using any part of the body except their hands to top the ball, and perform various difficult and difficult actions without the ball falling to the ground.
Special judges will then grade the game based on viewing and skill ratings. Whichever team scores the highest will win;
Playing Cuju for free is, in layman’s terms, freestyle football, where objectivity is higher than subjectivity, while the second type of “ball-building” is just the opposite -
'Building the ball' pays more attention to confrontation. A large goal will be erected in the middle of the court, about three feet high and one foot wide. A net will be made of colorful ribbons, leaving only a square mesh of about one foot, which is called the 'Wind Eye'.
There is a stipulated number of participants in Zhuqiu. Each team usually sends twelve people, wearing jerseys of different colors, to stand on both sides of the goal to form a "left and right army" to compete in a square court that is ten feet long and wide.
Both the left and right armies are equipped with roles such as "header", "thrower", "positive hold", "head hold", "left pole net", "right pole net" and "scattered"; just like the forwards in modern football games , attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, defender, goalkeeper and other divisions of labor; each player fulfills his position and assumes different batting tasks;
Each Cuju competition also has two "deployment corrections" who serve as referees.
Song Che stood by the court, carefully watched several Cuju matches, and summed up the differences between ancient and modern times:
First, the venue and goal:
In modern football matches, the standard green pitch is three to four times larger than in ancient times, with floor-to-ceiling goals on the left and right. However, the ancient pitch was only ten feet long and wide, that is, a square with a side of more than twenty meters, and the goal was only There is one located in midfield, with a "windy eye" on the goal that is about the same size as a basketball hoop;
Second, techniques and methods:
In ancient Cuju games, the word "dun" is generally used. Except for the batter who runs more frequently, the other assistants basically "stand and drive";
Of course, with a total of twenty-four people on both sides, standing in a field ten feet long and wide, there was no chance even if they wanted to run;
Regarding skills, Song Che, as an old football fan, can say without hesitation that the skills of ancient Cuju players were much higher than those of modern professional players;
Not to mention a professional courteous guest, he is also a servant of the palace in front of him, and his footwork is also very good; after all, the "Fengliu Eye" is only a foot long, such a small Fengliu hole, shooting the ball into it with your feet is super. high difficulty;
Furthermore, this ancient man was really good at kung fu! Some are as light as a swallow, and some are insanely powerful. If these martial arts skills could bring down the modern world, they would be even more exciting than Xingye's "Shaolin Soccer";
Third, rules and referees:
Naturally, ancient Cuju didn't have as many rules as modern ones. As long as you don't touch the ball with your hands or do too much action, the referee will not stop the game. Anyway, the players on both sides just throw the ball under their feet into Feng Liu's eyes, whoever scores the goal. Whoever has more wins the game.
After watching several Cuju competitions, Song Che also made a certain decision in his mind - combining the playing methods of the two eras, learning from each other's strengths, and finding a solution that neither loses the ancient style nor the modern passion will surely make this Cuju craze even more intense. Go to the next level!
