The trial production of badminton is relatively smooth, duck feathers, goose feathers, goose feathers, and even the tail feathers of eagles, after many tests, it is finally determined that the tail feathers of wild geese are the most suitable, and after cutting, shaping, and gluing, they are not only lighter than goose feathers, but also strong.

The badminton racket is a little troublesome, mainly because the frame strength of the bamboo and wood mix is not strong enough, and the strength of the four sides is not well mastered when the line is broken, which will deform and distort the paddle surface.

But the top craftsman is the top craftsman, regardless of the cost, under the circumstance of labor, two craftsmen specializing in the production of bows and crossbows successfully solved the problem of uniform force on the surface by hanging weights to fix the tension. Moreover, the tension of the string is still adjustable, and by adjusting the weight of the weight, you can loosen it as much as you want.

With rackets and balls, badminton courts are naturally at your fingertips. There is enough space in the middle of the princess's cross-courtyard, outlined with vermilion lacquer and divided by fishing nets, and the first All-Song Badminton Open kicked off.

"Da Lang, the concubine is unable to support it, so change the sisters."

Hong Tao is naturally the No. 1 seeded player, the princess is the No. 2, and the little maid Lian'er is really rising, and she actually beat the eight concubines to rank No. 3. They took turns to fight, but within a quarter of an hour, they were all defeated with red faces and sweat.

Badminton seems simple, but if you want to play seriously and save every ball, the amount of exercise is greater than basketball and football, second only to boxing. It is also a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic exercises, especially for cardiopulmonary function and the exercise of small muscle groups in the body.

Of course, if you play casually, it doesn't matter if you can hit it or not, then you can't talk about any exercise, you can not sweat for two hours, it's nothing more than a little soreness in your waist, and you always bend down to pick up the ball.

This problem is easy to solve, and the crazy horse said, except for the princess, whoever has good ball skills will have a high status in the house and have more money. This is no longer playing, it is related to the well-being of the rest of your life, and it is strange if you don't play hard.

Although the princess did not participate in the selection, she also did not want to fall too far behind the other concubines. After all, the husband has just changed his mind, who knows if he will change back in the future. If you want to keep your current happy life, in addition to counting on Wang Xu, you have to rely on your own efforts. The princess has always thought very clearly about this and has done a good job, and this time is no exception.

In fact, there is no need for Hong Tao to be too pressed, everyone likes the novel sport of badminton, and even Mama Wang, who has always been steady and polite, couldn't help but try it. actually fought very well, at least in terms of physical strength and strength, far superior to the princess and the concubines. After all, they are working people, and the foundation is good!

The "official ......" was just when Hong Tao was killing all sides happily, enjoying the compliments and worship of a group of women, when the voice from behind him made him suddenly like a deflated ball.

The reform of the country is at the juncture of the old and new forces, there are so many big things to be dealt with, you are an emperor who has nothing to do and always runs to your sister's house, is it necessary to stare at a waste brother-in-law? Whether it's crazy or not, what can a painter do with the court?

"Xiaguan has seen Your Majesty......" But no matter how greasy it is, Hong Tao has to put down his racket and salute respectfully. This is also the fundamental reason why he is willing to come to the Song Dynasty, he doesn't need to kneel when he sees an official, even if he gets along with the emperor, there are not so many excessive courtesies.

If you want to say that there is no spy from the Imperial City Division at home to kill Hong Tao, I don't believe it, the open competition has just been played for more than an hour, and Emperor Shenzong is not wearing a court dress or a long shirt, and he appears in the Horse Mansion in a short dress when he bows, and he is prepared at a glance.

"You don't have to be polite at home...... Jin Qing, how are you doing lately? "The emperor is the emperor, and he looks domineering everywhere he goes, and the racket in the horse's hand is quickly in his hands.

"Back to the official's house, the minister just can't remember the previous things, and his body is fine. This is a toy specially made by the minister for his wife, called badminton. The princess's body is a little weak, so she needs to be more active in addition to tonic. The horseback bow shooting was too intense, and the bow was not good, so he had to make this decision. ”

The rackets were snatched away, and Hong Tao had to act as a commentator to explain to the emperor the efficacy and origin of badminton. If any of the officials don't say that this thing is a weapon, they will have to cause more trouble. The Great Song Dynasty is good everywhere, but it keeps an eye on its own people too closely, and guards against thieves all day long.

"Sanniang, give it a try with Brother Wei to see if what your husband said is true." Emperor Shenzong should be in a good mood today, and when he heard the horse talk about the general rules of badminton, he was immediately a little eager to try. But none of the people present were eye-catching, including Wang Xu, so he had to fight with his sister.

"The eldest brother has always been brave, and the younger sister may not be able to enjoy it, so it's better to let Lang Jun accompany you." The princess didn't give in, and went to fight with the emperor, and she was supposed to be a sparring partner. When the emperor has roughly mastered the basic gameplay, he will give the opportunity to get closer to the emperor to the concubine.

"Don't be verbose, catch the ball quickly!" The emperor's interest has just been teased, although it is not pleasing to look at Wang Xu, but after all, he is the inventor of badminton, and he will definitely not be able to torture his sister if he wants to beat the pleasure light.

"Da Lang doesn't have to be humble, the official family doesn't like people who are only promised......" When exchanging rackets, the princess whispered to Hong Tao.

"Well, I haven't had a chance to torture the emperor alive in my life, and it's not good to rely on strong ships and cannons, see if I don't sneak your out today!"

Hong Tao is actually very unhappy to play with the emperor, it is too awkward, and it is easy to have problems if he plays well or badly. But with the princess's words at the bottom, he finally thought about it, and even showed a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth. If you don't say that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, this is the soul in his bones that is doing trouble.

A person who has been playing badminton all year round plays against a person who has just learned it, and the result can be imagined. Even if the guy is not so standard and smooth, the beginner will not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

You don't need to smash vigorously, it's too explicit, you only need to drop the ball back and forth in the front, back, left half, and right half, so that beginners can go from a lively person to a little toad who can only pant with his mouth open, his eyes can reach, but his body can't keep up with it in just a few minutes.

Of course, Hong Tao didn't dare to play with his life, and he would have to be exiled in a few minutes. But it's still okay to have a proper black hand, and at the same time, you have to make yourself embarrassed, and give the emperor a little face compensation, in fact, who is tired knows who is tired.

Rao is the body of Emperor Shenzong who bowed when he was fine, and he couldn't help the transfer of a small badminton. It's only been more than ten minutes, and the moon-white short jacket is already soaked, and a lot of hair has also fallen out and is stuck to the face with sweat, how embarrassed and embarrassed.

"The official family may wish to bring back a few sets of ball equipment to the palace, and you can move around in your spare time......" Seeing that the emperor was unable to fight anymore, Hong Tao took the opportunity to slander.

He very much didn't want the emperor's eldest brother to sneak to his house if he had nothing to do, and wanted to play ball and go back to the palace to play, so many concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, university scholars or something, it was enough to organize a league.
