Zhang Fei, who was outside Jucheng, had no idea that there was a group of people who were jealous of him. He was not a player, but the boss. Before the game, he was the busiest person and was tinkering with this matter almost every day. Of course, this also made many major donors unhappy, as well as those businessmen who cooperated with him in business.
Think he is not doing his job.
Fan Li believes that the firm is the key, as it is directly related to Zhang Fei’s core business, and any transaction must be guaranteed by a contract.
But Hou Donglai believes that genuine bookstores are the key. Currently, their genuine bookstores are the most profitable and have the best prospects. You must know that the books have not yet started selling, and that is a long-term profit.
However, what they don’t know is that for Zhang Fei, charity is the core of all business.
Zhang Fei arrived late, a quarter of an hour before the start of the game.
As soon as he entered the door, Ma Tianhao hurriedly called him over, but Qingmei above was also calling him "son-in-law" affectionately.
Comparing the two, Zhang Fei of course chose Xu Zhiqian, because that was the women's seat, and inside...right...
However, he had just climbed a few steps when Zhao Xu's attendants came over.
In the end, Zhang Fei could only glance at the women's seats reluctantly, and then followed the servant to the VIP seats.
...
...

After entering the tent, Zhang Fei looked extremely terrified and bowed to Zhao Xu and Queen Mother Cao, as if he had never seen the world before.
After all, he and Zhao Xu had always maintained an "underground relationship", and only a few people knew about their relationship.
Empress Dowager Cao was already familiar with the name Zhang San, and she was also a fan of the News. After seeing him today, she found that this boy was really a handsome man, and he was not like the image in the pen.
It can be seen that no matter what era, this beautiful child will never have bad luck.
Because the first sight can always give people a good impression.
Zhao Xu asked with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Zhang San, in the past year, many officials in the court have recommended you to serve as an official, but you have repeatedly declined. Do you think that I am not a wise and enlightened monarch and are unwilling to serve me?"
After hearing this, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both looked at Zhang Fei with a gloating expression.
You are usually very arrogant and no one can invite you. This time it depends on how you answer.
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Of course not. In fact, I dream of becoming an official, but... but..."
Zhao Xu asked, "Just what?"
Empress Dowager Cao was also very curious. It was rare that someone would rather be an earpiece than an official.
Zhang Fei said, "I'm embarrassed to say it."
"Um?"
Zhao Xu's brows furrowed.
The nobleman Lan Yuanzhen immediately said, "Your Majesty asked you a question, and you dared not answer. Are you tired of living?"
"No... no! It's just..." Zhang Fei smiled coquettishly, "It's just that I'm not married yet."
"......?"
This answer left everyone present with a puzzled look on their faces.
Zhang Fei said: "Although I haven't read many books, I know that cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and bringing peace to the world. Not to mention that I now have the air of a commoner, the key point is that I am not young anymore, and I haven't even established a family yet. I really don't have the face to serve as an official in the court."
Then Gao Wenyin cannot be considered his wife, at most she can only be considered a concubine, and certainly not a family.
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang did not expect that this kid would come up with such a reason. They were both very disappointed. Is it so difficult to see this kid make a fool of himself?
Queen Mother Cao nodded slightly. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. In the eyes of the ancients, starting a family is very important.
If you can’t even have a family, how can you be an official?
Even if the whole family was executed, the number of people could not be reached.
So Queen Mother Cao took the initiative to help Zhang Fei out, "Your Majesty, we are here to watch the game today, let's talk about this later."
"yes."
Zhao Xu nodded and asked Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, what are the details of your new style of Cuju?"
Zhang Fei immediately said, "To reply to your majesty, I just watched the current Cuju, which lacks blood and passion. Sometimes it is boring to watch, so...so I thought of this new Cuju."
"......?"
This sentence angered everyone present.
They are all Cuju enthusiasts.
If you can't speak, just shut up.
Zhao Xu asked: "Lack of blood?"
"Yes."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Although it looks good to play, it lacks speed and physical collision, so it is seriously lacking in energy. I think men should play some sports that are more exciting, so Cuju is more suitable for women."
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Well said, a man should try some exciting sports.
He is not a man who would keep quiet; he will definitely fight.
This was very much to his liking.
But the scholars and officials present were all unhappy.
What is only suitable for women to play?
Who are you scolding?
Fan Zhen couldn't help but asked angrily: "What did you say?"
Cuju is the national ball!
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Sorry, it's also suitable for scholars to play."
You might as well not say anything.
Fan Zhen was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring. He was about to bang the table, but when he saw that there were bigwigs all around him, he had to hold it back.
Generals such as Wang Chao and Cao Ping felt a little happy but did not dare to show it.
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "Interesting! Interesting! I am becoming more and more interested in this new style of Cuju."
Empress Dowager Cao glanced at Wang Anshi and said to Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, you are not brave, but barbaric."
Fan Zhen hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother is right. This kid thinks barbarism is fun. He is really ignorant."
Many scholars and officials nodded heavily to show their approval.
Zhang Fei explained: "In response to the Queen Mother's words, in the common people's understanding, collisions without rules are considered barbaric, but collisions with rules are bloody."
Zhao Xu gave Zhang Fei a warning look, "How dare you talk back?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "I know I was wrong."
Queen Mother Cao's impression of Zhang Fei was slightly reduced. The key point was that this bloodiness did not attract her, but she was not a junior like Zhang Fei. "Let's see what kind of bloodiness this new style of Cuju is."
Just at this moment, there was a burst of noise in the venue.
Everyone hurried to
But players from both teams have already entered the field, they are just warming up.
Zhao Xu wondered, "Why is the ball still running on the ground?"
The rules of Cuju are somewhat similar to those of volleyball. The ball cannot fall to the ground.
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "To reply to your Majesty, if there is a collision, the ball will definitely fall to the ground."
"That's true."
Zhao Xu nodded.
Queen Mother Cao suddenly asked, "Is that person in front of the gate the goalkeeper?"
Zhang Fei was surprised and asked, "The Queen Mother also read the newspaper?"
“Ahem!”
Queen Mother Cao nodded and said, "With so many people kicking, can this one person defend it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course there are also defensive personnel to assist."
Fan Zhen looked at the players passing the ball and couldn't help but snorted, "You are so frivolous!"
Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly: "This is just a warm-up."
......
"Sister Qian'er, are they just going to kick like this?"
A young girl snuggled up to Xu Zhiqian's jade shoulder, pursed her lips, and spoke with a bored look on her face.
Xu Zhiqian blushed, "I told you it's not good to look at, but you insisted on coming to see it. Don't make a scene and leave later."
After all, it was invented by her fiancé, and she would be embarrassed if it didn't look good.
"It would be really boring if we played like this."
"Yeah! They just pass the ball back and forth like that, and the ball can still move on the ground. How simple it is, what's the fun of watching it."
......
On this point, the men and women in the field reached a consensus.
The audience watched them warm up, all with disappointment on their faces.
How did the ball land?
There is no difficulty at all!
Listening to the audience's complaints, Chen Maoqian shook his head and said, "I said that this new style of Cuju is not good, but Zhang San didn't believe it and said that we have no vision. Look, everyone is very disappointed."
Fan Yong snorted, "That's good. It will stop Zhang San from having such thoughts."
"Then we should invest money in a movable type printing house, or we can go to other places to print newspapers directly, and we will definitely make money."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
......
However, the players on the field were not affected by these complaints at all. At this moment, both sides had only one thought, which was to humiliate each other.
After the warm-up, both sides went back.
This back and forth almost drove the audience away.
Should I kick it or not?
After a while, the players from both teams officially entered the field.
Those wearing blue and white uniforms are the police force, while those wearing red and black uniforms are the cavalry guards.
"Huh? Why are they holding a child?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that each of them was holding a child's hand.
Zhang Fei quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these children were originally beggars, and every time we hold a charity competition, we will donate a sum of money to these children from poor families. This ceremony can be regarded as a symbol of charity."
Queen Mother Cao nodded and praised: "This is thoughtful, not bad, not bad."
Zhao Xu suddenly asked again: "What are Dong'er and that person doing?"
Empress Dowager Cao took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, you don't know that they are tossing coins to guess whether there is a word or not. The winner can choose a side, and the loser has the ball."
Zhang Fei glanced at Empress Dowager Cao with a little surprise.
This old lady has a good memory.
As they were chatting, the coin guessing game had already been completed. Judging from the referee's gestures, the guard horse should have won, and they chose the west as their position.
Because the west side is the gate, there are fewer spectators here, while there are more spectators on the east side, and everyone wants more people to witness their goal!
With the sound of gongs and drums, the competition is finally about to begin.
If it doesn't start soon, the audience will fall asleep.
Both sides adopted a 433 attack formation.
In fact, Zhang Fei had told them all the formations, and since the traditional tactics of the Song Dynasty were to set up formations and cast spells, these people had an amazing comprehension of formations and quickly figured out how to play.
Originally, Zhang Fei suggested that Cao Dongdong form a 532 formation. After all, the overall strength was weak, and Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi were both relatively strong.
However, Cao Dongdong rejected the idea because he didn't understand football. Cao Dongdong arbitrarily decided to arrange Ma Xiaoyi as a forward and he himself played in the midfield.
This made Zhang Fei no longer willing to teach privately.
As the referee raised his right hand, the game officially began.
There was no sound at all in the venue.
Everyone is already very disappointed.
After Cao Dongdong got the ball, he cooperated with his teammates, dribbled past one player like a juggler, and then the ball quickly rushed towards the opponent's goal.
I have to say, the Cuju players who turned into football players are really good at dribbling past opponents. Just now, Cao Dongdong made a rainbow dribble.
This action really opened the eyes of the audience, after all, these audiences were used to watching this kind of fancy play.
“Up, up, up!”
Cao Ping couldn't help but get excited when he saw his son dribbling the ball towards the opponent's goal.
Wang Chao stood up and said, "Stop him! Stop him!"
Zhao Xu, Queen Mother Cao, and a group of civil servants looked at the two men, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
I heard a cry of surprise!
A player from the opposing team made a flying tackle, knocking Cao Dongdong away with the ball, and he somersaulted and fell heavily to the ground.
Queen Mother Cao was shocked. Is this playing football? This is killing people!
Wang Chao shouted, "Great stop."
Cao Ping was dissatisfied and yelled at Zhang Fei: "Isn't it a foul for them to kick Dong'er like this?"
Zhang Fei said: "According to the rules, the opponent was heading for the ball and was the first to touch the ball, so it is not considered a foul."
Suddenly, thunderous cheers broke out in the stadium.
It turned out that after the guard Ma intercepted the ball, the whole team immediately rushed forward. Once the speed increased, the visual impact stimulated everyone's adrenaline.
In addition, most people support the guards' horses. They are now beginning to miss the previous military patrol shops. The key is that many people also buy guards' horses.
Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Xu also became inexplicably nervous.
“Go, go, go!”
Wang Chao raised his hands and shouted excitedly.
The opponent's midfielder fired a powerful shot directly from outside the penalty area, which hit the post and went out of the bottom line.
There was a sudden burst of regret in the venue.
Wang Chao hugged his head and let out a wail.
Women's seats.
"Ah! What a pity!"
The girl who had just been leaning against Xu Zhiqian was now standing in front of the door, also with a look of regret on her face.
Xu Zhiqian was dumbfounded, "Little sister, you...don't you like to watch it?"
"I.....!"
My little sister looked around and wondered why I was standing in front of the door.
who I am?
Where am I?
