On the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in early May, if it was in the past, the most lively activity in the capital was naturally the dragon boat race on the Yongding River, but this year it was stolen by the "Tiger Cup" of the kicking competition.

Since the beginning of last month, a new style of kicking game from the 500 battalions has gradually spread in the capital, especially after Xu Peng, the Duke of Wei, released the news that he will spend a lot of money to hold the first "Tiger Cup", this new style of kicking game has become popular rapidly.

This is the effect of heavy rewards and celebrities.

A trophy made of 1,000 taels of silver and a pure gold is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, plus Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, often engages in various literary meetings, whether in the officialdom literati circle or in the eyes of ordinary people, fame is a kind of credibility.

The most important point is that the "Tiger Cup" does not have any threshold, as long as there are enough people to participate, and then give the team a name, no registration fee, lunch is also included on the day of the competition, such a good thing, the people naturally rush to it, whether it will be given or not, first sign up and then say. As Boss Ma said: People still have to have dreams, maybe one day they will come true?

Because of this, until the registration deadline on the first day of May, the organizers received a total of nearly 200 teams to sign up, nearly 3,000 people participated, most of them were ordinary people, and some were businessmen, gentry, and even the Beijing camp formed a team of kickers.

Such a huge team, even if it plays ten games a day, it has to be done for a month, of course, this is also what Xu Jin is willing to see, the longer the ball game is held, the more popularity will naturally be condensed, and the prize money of one thousand taels of silver can bring such an effect, it is definitely worth the money.

The fifth day of the fifth month of May is a day off, and Xu Jin ran outside the palace to wait for the car before dawn, just like last time. The excuse for the little emperor to go out of the city this time is still to inspect the five hundred camps, in fact, the ministers all know that the little emperor's patrol of the camp is fake, and it is true to run to see the kicking competition, but for the sake of the little emperor who is still diligent on weekdays, and today is a festival, so they are very interested in not adding to the blockage.

This time, Xu Jin waited outside the palace gate for a longer time, more than an hour, and Zhu Houxi's kid appeared surrounded by the guards.

Xu Jin felt that the two little eunuchs were a little familiar, stared at them carefully, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "Xu Jin has seen two princesses!" ”

The two little eunuchs next to Zhu Houxi are the two princesses Yongfu and Yongchun, although they are dressed as little eunuchs, but the fat powder is too heavy, with fine skin and tender meat, especially Princess Yongfu is nearly seventeen years old, with obvious body curves, and the kind of cowardly temperament like a weak willow supporting the wind can be recognized by those who have a heart at a glance.

Princess Yongfu was recognized by Xu Jin, and her pretty goose egg face was suddenly full of red glow, and she said abruptly: "Jing Anbo doesn't need to be polite!" ”

Yongchun, the little Luo Li, is only thirteen years old this year, stuck out her tongue and made a grimace at Xu Jin, very playful.

Xu Jin coughed lightly and asked, "Your Majesty, do the empress dowagers of the two palaces know about the two princesses going out of the city?" ”

Zhu Houxi said indifferently: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, but the Queen Mother knows......"

Xu Jin was a little relieved when he heard this, but who knew that Zhu Houxi added another sentence: "I told my mother that I will take Yongfu Yongchun to Jing'anbo Mansion to visit Sister Xiaowan today." ”

My day, Xu Jin is speechless!

Zhu Houxi said apologetically: "Yongfu and Yongchun have been in the palace all day since they came to the capital, and it just so happens that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I also want to take them out of the city to relax." Xu Qing don't worry, I brought 3,000 Teng Xiang Wei this time, and 300 Jin Youwei masters, there will be no surprises. ”

What else can Xu Jin say, he can't drive the two princesses back to the palace, not to mention that he is not a pedantic courtier like Mao Cheng Shixuan, and he doesn't think that it is a big sin for the princess to sneak out of the palace to play, so he no longer speaks out to dissuade him.

At that moment, the banner of thousands of people was displayed from Fuchengmen out of the capital, heading in the direction of the 500 battalions, but seeing the endless stream of pedestrians along the way, they obviously ran to watch the kicking game. Wherever the royal car passed, the people retreated to the side of the road and knelt down, and if anyone dared to raise their heads rashly to peep at the royal chariot, they would immediately be reprimanded, and even pointed at them with knives and guns. It's not that these guards are arrogant, but they are really worried that the gangsters will assassinate the emperor, and they really can't be sloppy.

The closer you get to the camp of 500, the more pedestrians there are on the road, and some clever little vendors carry burdens or push carts, and start small businesses on both sides of the road, selling breakfast, fruit, and tea......

There is a saying in Feng Shui: popularity is wealth. A place with a large flow of people will naturally become a prosperous place to gather wealth.

When the royal driver and his entourage came to the camp of the 500 battalions, they looked over from the official road, and saw that there were people surging on the side of Dongshan, and it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people, which was like a tide. Wang Lin'er and Qi Jingtong were leading 500 battalions of brothers to help maintain order at the scene.

Seeing such a lively scene, the little emperor Zhu Houxi was so excited that he stood up from the imperial chariot, and the little Lori Yongchun was even more excited. Princess Yongfu had a pair of wonderful eyes like spring water, and glanced at Xu Jin who was riding on a horse, and her eyes were quite strange.

It is said that although Princess Yongfu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she is not ignorant of things outside the palace, such as Xu Jin was played by Hubu Shangshu and only got thousands of acres of barren mountain land as Tuntian, Princess Yongfu has also heard of it. She had been worried about Xu Jin before, but when she saw the lively scene in front of her at this moment, she immediately realized that her worries were a bit redundant.

Princess Yongfu is sometimes really strange, why can a serious scholar who is even in the middle of the five yuan Tanhua and the first can easily come up with so many ways to make money by doing business, such as carriages and horses, black tea, glass mirrors, and underwear......

As soon as she thought of "underwear", Princess Yongfu had a fever on her face, this kind of thing has been very popular in the circle of upper-class women in Beijing in the past two months, and even the Queen Mother (Jiang's) has worn it, and some time ago she gave her daughter Princess Yongfu two sets, and Princess Yongfu learned from Yue'er that this kind of woman's underwear was actually from Xu Tanhua......

Princess Yongfu naturally thought of the yoga practice map that Xu Jin had drawn for herself, so her face burned even more, and she subconsciously took a sip.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" The little Lori Yongchun next to her glanced at her sister inexplicably.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houxi and Xu Jin both subconsciously looked at Princess Yongfu, and the former said strangely: "Hey, Yongfu, why is your face so red?" ”

"It's okay, maybe...... Maybe it's too hot! Yongfu raised his hand and covered half of his face with his sleeve, and his embarrassment was revealed, but fortunately, at this time, a group of people greeted the royal car, it was Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, Zhang Lun, the Duke of Dingguo, and other nobles.

A group of nobles saluted the emperor, and then led the way in front and brought the royal chariot to the kicking field at the foot of the East Mountain.

It is said that in the past month, Xu Peng, the Duke of Wei, used thousands of people to build infrastructure on Dongshan day and night, so at this time, Dongshan has changed greatly again, not only the road has been widened several times, but also the grandstands, pavilions, restaurants, teahouses and the like have been built to shade the sun.

The buildings are clearly well planned and neatly arranged, with long stone benches and garbage ponds at intervals to make them feel comfortable and clean.

Zhu Houxi was in a happy mood, walked around the green grass court, played a few penalty kicks, and then came to the stands and sat down.

After the little emperor and his entourage were seated, the people on the periphery were allowed to enter, and under the guidance of the 500 battalion soldiers, they entered in batches, and stood in an orderly manner according to the designated position, so as not to cause chaos.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, personally beat the drum and three links, announcing the official start of the first "Tiger Cup" kicking competition, and the little emperor Zhu Houxi threw a kick tied with a ribbon from the stands into the field......

Ordinary people usually have the opportunity to see the face of the sky, so when the little emperor Zhu Houxi stood up on the stands with his feet in his hand, a wave of climax was set off in an instant, and tens of thousands of spectators knelt down and shouted Long live, and the scene was really shocking.

Zhu Houxi was extremely excited, and threw the kick to the court below, and the two teams in the field immediately rushed to the kick like chicken blood and started a fierce competition.

Because there are too many teams participating in the competition, most of the level is ordinary, so Xu Pengju deliberately compressed the time of the game, about 30 minutes per game, regardless of the two halves, and it is a knockout system.

After Xu Jin watched the two games, he really couldn't cry or laugh, because most of the participants were wild people, who didn't follow the rules at all, bumped into people, stumbled, and pulled their pants...... did everything, and there were even those who ran away with the ball, and the referee on the field shouted that no one paid attention to him, and in the end he simply didn't care, as long as one side got the ball into the opponent's door, it was considered a win.

In this way, those spectators will watch with relish, and if someone's pants are ripped off on the field, it will set off a wave of earth-shaking cheers and laughter.

"Haha...... Rush, oops...... No, no...... That fat man is too slow, if I had changed, this goal would have been scored! Zhu Houxi shouted in oblivion, until the celebrant and eunuch coughed lightly to remind him, and the kid realized that he was out of shape, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and returned to sitting upright.

Little Loli Yongchun watched it with relish at first, but soon got tired of it, yawned boredly, and suddenly leaned next to Xu Jin and whispered: "Xu Jin, do you have anything else interesting here?" ”

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he smiled: "Naturally, there is, we also have hockey and grass skiing here, which are suitable for my daughter's family to play." ”

Little Lori's eyes suddenly lit up, and she leaned next to Zhu Houxi and whispered: "Brother Huang, I want to go to play hockey and grass skiing with Xu Jin!" ”

Zhu Houxi's kid was looking at this addiction, and he didn't look back and said, "Go, go, go!" ”(https:)
