Make trouble and win

Next is Cuju, a ball game that children in the Jin Dynasty loved to play. It is similar to modern football. Each side sends five people to the game. The ball is kicked into the other side's goal to calculate the score.

Xu Mingchen and the others often play Cuju when they are at home, and Dazhu and Erzhu are considered Cuju masters in the countryside. Both teams sent out players they thought were the strongest.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides attacked fiercely and refused to give in to each other. They seemed to be of equal strength. Xu Mingye's performance was particularly eye-catching. He had fast movement and powerful feet. He almost broke the opponent's goal several times, but he was always blocked by the second post who was responsible for guarding the goal at critical moments.

Was stopped.

Seeing that the end time of the game was coming soon, both teams were exhausted and sweating profusely, but the score was still zero to zero. This made Xu Minghao, who was watching the game from the sidelines, anxious. He approached Xu Mingxuan, who also did not play, and whispered in his ear.

Voice.

On the field, Dazhu led his team members to launch a final fierce attack. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the opponent's goal, there was a sudden commotion outside the field. Someone shouted: "There is a snake!"

"Second brother, grab the ball quickly, attack the goal, attack the goal!" At this time, Xu Minghao shouted and asked Xu Mingye to win the ball and attack the goal. Xu Mingye saw the right opportunity to snatch the ball back from the foot of the distracted pillar, and then also

He launched a fierce attack and finally kicked the ball into the opponent's goal.

"Ah, we won, we won, we won!" Xu Minghao shouted excitedly, and the Xu brothers who won on the field were also very happy.

After losing the game, Dazhu seemed a little depressed, but the team members comforted him that it was okay. If it hadn't been for the snake just now, they might not have lost.

Lin Shuran and Uncle Wu, who were also watching the Cuju competition, looked at each other. Just now, there was indeed a small green snake swimming quickly under people's feet, but it quickly disappeared, and they both saw the small green snake crawling in.

The snake got into Xu Mingxuan's trousers. The strangest thing was Xu Mingxuan's reaction. It was obvious that he knew that the snake had got into his clothes. Instead of being afraid, there was a sense of pride and joy on his face.

Looking at Xu Minghao and him winking and signaling, Lin Shuran understood what was going on. In order to win the game, these two little guys deliberately caused trouble. However, Lin Shuran did not expose them on the spot.

"Okay!" Xu Mingfan finally agreed.

"I am willing to go with you, young master!" Zhang Songlin responded with a smile on his face, but Xu Mingfan also understood the unwillingness to be outdone in his eyes.

Zhang Songlin also had an angry look on his face. Although he was of low status, in the past three years, he had been enlightened by his husband and personally taught by Lin Shuran. His state of mind and knowledge had long been different. He felt insulted by Xu Minghao.

Xu Mingfan felt even more depressed. Could it be that he couldn't even compare to a domestic slave?

Zhang Songlin's eloquent words left Xu Minghao speechless. He had never understood the benefits of reading, and he disliked reading. He always felt that reading was useless. For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.

Lin Shuran's words were only taken by Mr. Bai as being modest. As the youngest daughter of the current Imperial Tutor and the granddaughter of the great scholar Wen Yanzhi, I heard that her knowledge was personally taught by Wen Yanzhi and Lin Youxing. If she hadn't always been low-key,

, I have been trapped by love in recent years, so maybe this talented woman’s title will no longer escape her.

Lin Shuran was still willing to see healthy competition, not to mention that the two of them were still competing in their studies. In order to encourage them, she promised to go back and give them a special gift.

"Fourth brother, I think he is just a coincidence. He is just a domestic slave. No matter how good he is in knowledge, it is useless, and he can't take the first prize exam!" Xu Minghao's original intention was to comfort Xu Mingfan and tell him not to compare with a domestic slave.

Unexpectedly, it made both Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin blush.

Not long after the Cuju competition between the two teams started, Zhang Songlin handed the completed Jiugongge to Lin Shuran, and Xu Mingfan also completed it shortly afterwards. The two of them were praised by Fan Xiucai and Mr. Bai, and Jiugongge and the others also

See, as teachers, they couldn't think of a solution even if they tried hard, and they were actually inferior to their younger students.

"If there are more difficult questions, I may not be as good as him!" Obviously, Xu Mingfan was a little unconvinced. He, a noble man, was not as good as a country boy. This made it difficult for him, who had always been aloof and proud, to accept it.

Seeing Mr. Bai, Lin Shuran and others all praised Zhang Songlin. Xu Mingfan, who was born to be strong, secretly made up his mind at this moment. He must surpass Zhang Songlin, a man who was born as a domestic slave. He could not be compared with him, let alone let others look down on him.

"Hahaha, what an aspiring young man, well said, very well said!" Mr. Bai was still a little angry yesterday when Lin Shuran asked him to follow him to the farm, but now he felt that this trip was the right one, "Fan Xiucai, you are so talented and righteous.

!" At the same time, he also praised Zhang Songlin as a teacher.

"The one who made it first in Songlin is the winner! Fourth brother, are you convinced?" Lin Shuran announced the winner, then looked at the silent Xu Mingfan and asked.

"Young Master Seventh is wrong. Even if I am a domestic slave, if I am good at learning, it will still be useful!" Zhang Songlin said angrily, "Miss said before, 'If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool, and if a person does not learn, he will not know justice.

', Studying knowledge is not necessarily for the purpose of becoming a general or a prime minister, wealth and glory in the future, but for myself to understand the truth, to be able to distinguish right from wrong, to know how to advance and retreat, so that I can be respected by others no matter what my identity is, and the lady has allowed me

After being freed from slavery, I can take part in the children's examination someday."

Fan Xiucai hurriedly stood up and saluted Mr. Bai and replied: "Sir, you have misunderstood. The student's knowledge is shallow, so how can he explain such a truth? This was all told to him by Miss Lin - no, Mrs. Xu!"

"I will also participate in the children's test!" Xu Mingfan stared at Zhang Songlin with burning eyes, and the meaning of continuing the competition was self-evident.

Mr. Bai then turned to Lin Shuran with a surprised look on his face, only to see Lin Shuran shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm just relaying the words of the sages. It's Song Lin who is a young man who is smart, and it's all revealed!"

No one can guarantee that accidents will not happen during the game. If you lose the game due to its impact, it shows that your determination still needs to be strengthened.

In the two games, both teams won one and lost, and there was no real winner, so they competed in an arm wrestling match. Each side sent ten people, and even three-year-old Xu Mingsheng was brought on the court.

.

Although the Xu brothers practiced martial arts with Mr. Lu every day, there was still a certain gap in strength compared to Dazhu and the others who had learned to work in the farm a long time ago. In the end, the farm team won.

"This is not fair!" Xu Minghao was obviously unhappy after losing the game and shouted angrily.

"We have the same number of people and are of similar age. What's unfair? The person you're arm wrestling with is three months younger than you. It's really unfair -" Lin Shuran deliberately leaned close to Xu Minghao's ear and whispered, "

That little green snake you and Lao Ba released during the Cuju competition just now - that's not fair!"
