The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 128

[Chapter 128 Old Friend]

Fang Xiu said: “In the past, the pro-military review competitions were nothing more than bows, horses, and formations. The content was too boring. Although it could show the strength of the Sixteenth Guards, it seemed a bit empty.

I think, We can add a few items to the bows, horses, and queues.”

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu with interest and asked, “What items?”

Fang Xiu said, “I have been thinking hard for several days and nights, and I have come up with it. We have chosen two events, one is football and the other is capture the flag, which can show the synergy of the Sixteen Guards and is very interesting.” This

was the first time Emperor Chu heard these two words, and he asked with a look of confusion on his face. He asked: “What is football?”

Fang Xiu explained: “Football looks like Cuju, but it is different from Cuju. There are eleven people in each guard. Divide the school parade ground into two parts, set up two gates, and choose one person for the game. The goalkeeper can catch the ball with his hands to protect the goal.

The other ten players can catch the ball with any part except their hands and score the ball into the opponent’s goal. At the end of the game, the one with the highest score wins. Win.”

In his previous life, football was one of Fang Xiu’s favorite sports, it was tense and exciting.

He has always had the idea of promoting football in this world, but unfortunately he did not have the right opportunity.

It just so happened that the common people and many dignitaries in the capital would watch this pro-army competition.

Fang Xiu believed that by then, as long as he watched a football match and no special publicity was needed, the sport would become popular in the capital.

Emperor Chu was not very interested in this.

After all, the charm of football lies in the atmosphere of the scene and the exciting feeling of caring about the home team.

Just listen to the rules and feel nothing.

However, the eleven people cooperated and fought in groups, which was in line with the original intention of the pro-military review. It was used as entertainment after the archery and horse formation, and there was not much of a problem.

Emperor Chu nodded and asked: “Capture the flag, what is it?”

Seeing Emperor Chu’s agreement, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face and explained: “Capture the flag, as the name suggests, the main point is to capture the flag. It’s

the same as football, Divide the parade field into two parts, and plant the flags of each guard in each part. Each guard selects a hundred people to guard their own flags. The first person to capture the flag and bring it back to his position wins. “

This capture the flag is a bit similar to rugby in the previous life, but there are more people.

However, this can also better utilize the strength of the soldiers.

At the same time, allowing the generals of each guard to have the opportunity to participate in arranging troops and forming formations can provide some reference for actual combat.

Of course, the most important thing is that

people have spent money and bought tickets. They can’t just watch the bows, horses and queues.

Although, for the common people, bowing and horse riding are equally exciting, but after all, the time is too short.

As time goes by, the time spent at the school parade grounds will also shorten. How can I sell my own smoothies?

Emperor Chu glanced at Fang Xiu.

I have some doubts, is this kid really suffering from a brain disease?

How come you always come up with some weird stuff.

He waved his hand and said, “I understand. Go down and don’t forget to submit the articles of association. In short, this is no joke.”

After hearing this, Fang Xiu knew in his heart that the matter was done.

“I beg you to retire.”

Fang Xiu suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly retreated.

When we walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, the sky was getting dark.

On the side, a young eunuch led him out of the palace.

Outside the palace, Fang Mansion’s carriage has been waiting for a long time.

The carriage drove smoothly on the street, it was getting late, but the nightlife in the capital had just begun.

The streets are brightly lit and there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going.

Fang Xiu opened the curtains and took a look outside, feeling a little surprised.

Why are there so many people on the street

? After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.

For a moment, I felt a little dazed.

Time flies so fast.

The next day, early in the morning.

Before I opened my eyes, I heard some commotion outside the yard.

Several little maids gathered together and debated whether sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings were better.

When they see Fang Xiu, they all salute.

These little maids have stayed in Fang Mansion for a long time, and they also found that the young master’s temper during this period was much better than before.

He treats servants like them very kindly.

Sometimes, he would even tell them some interesting stories that they had never heard before, so when they saw him, they were not as scared as before.

Just Nuonuo called the young master and ran away.

Fang Xiu felt a little funny when he heard what they said.

It turns out that the dispute between the sweet party and the salty party also existed in Chu State.

“Master Fang”

At this time, a familiar voice reached Fang Xiu’s ears.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, and when he saw the figure he hadn’t seen for a long time, he smiled and said, “It’s Miss Wanqing, long time no see.”

Lin Wanqing was the first woman Fang Xiu met during this period of time.

The scene of jumping into the lake to save people that day is still vivid in my mind. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than three months.

Lin Wanqing looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if she had thought of something, and said with a smile: “This time, won’t the young master drive me away?”

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “I am not a straight man. What’s more, Miss Wanqing has a fate with this young master, so why would she reject him thousands of miles away for no reason?”

He said this as if he was not the one who made Lin Wanqing leave in shame with just a few words on Shangyuan Festival.

Lin Wanqing didn’t understand what the straight man meant, but it didn’t prevent her from understanding the second half of the sentence.

With a smile on his face, he asked: “Master Fang, aren’t you curious about the reason why I took the liberty of visiting you?”

Fang Xiu smiled and said: “No matter what the reason is, how could I, Master Fang, be negligent about the visit of a beautiful lady like Miss Wanqing? “

“

But I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I’m a little hungry.”

As early as the Lantern Festival, he had already suspected this girl Wanqing’s intentions.

Now, not to mention, if she comes to visit her during the Dragon Boat Festival for no reason, even a fool can tell that she must have some intentions towards him.

If it were before, he might have refused without mercy.

But now, with nothing to do, he was somewhat interested and wanted to find out the purpose of this girl Wanqing approaching him again and again.

When Lin Wanqing heard what Fang Xiu said, she wasn’t annoyed at all. She just smiled and said, “It just so happens that I’m not here to have breakfast in a hurry. Mr. Fang doesn’t mind joining me.”

In the yard.

On the stone table, Fang Xiu and Lin Wanqing sat opposite each other.

Xiu’er stood aside pretty and asked, “Master, what kind of zongzi do you want to eat?”

Fang Xiu said, “Salty.”

“Okay, master.”

Xiu’er looked at Lin Wanqing again with her eyes.

Fang Xiu asked: “Miss Wanqing, do you like sweet or salty food?”

Lin Wanqing thought for a while and said: “Sweet.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said: “One is salty, the other is sweet, and then I order Cook two bowls of porridge.”

“Yes, Master.”

Xiu’er left. Fang Xiu and Lin Wanqing were the only two people left in the yard.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Just when Fang Xiu was about to speak, Lin Wanqing suddenly said: “Master Fang, are you wondering what your purpose is for deliberately approaching me?”
