Chapter 28: A Tiger Son Has a Dog Father

The two teams in the second game were quite interesting. One team was already a minister in the imperial court, and the other team was young people who had not yet entered the imperial court.

Shen Yuan looked at the people wearing white clothes. At least their age and height seemed to be about the same. However, the people wearing black clothes looked a little different. It seemed to be telling everyone clearly that -

Yes, our team is put together.

On the black team, the youngest are Xie Hui and Zhou Zhongan, and there is even someone who looks older than her father.

A piercing whistle sounded, and the game officially began.

Xie Hui grabbed the ball at the beginning, but unfortunately he was surrounded by four or five people on the opposite side and was unable to pass the ball.

"I heard from my brother that their strategy today is to guard against Master Xie."

"I see." In just a short while, Xie Hui had lost count of how many times the ball was intercepted. "But it's not a good idea for everyone to defend him. There are still other players on the team. It's still easy to find open space."

As if to confirm Shen Yuan's words, after being surrounded again, Xie Hui actually found a gap between the defenders and passed the ball to Zhou Zhongan.

The players of the white team hurriedly chased Zhou Zhongan again, and Xie Hui also took this opportunity to break away. Then the two of them showed exquisite cooperation in front of the goal. Unlike the previous game, a goal was scored shortly after the start of the game, and the whole field seemed to be ignited.

In the stands, the audience sitting around Princess Kangle also congratulated her, although what they said was the same thing, "successful at a young age" and "both civil and military".

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. I don't know how this son was born. He always brings honor to the family."

Shen Yuan heard a lady behind him say this, and then heard another person say, "It's not easy to say that. Let's not talk about anything else. In terms of family background, there are not many people who can compare with her in the capital, or even in the whole of Dazhao. She is just destined to be like that."

"Yuanyuan, what do you think happened to Yunyi? I saw it just now. Mr. He did try hard, but he just didn't touch the ball."

"Don't worry. If you win, you can celebrate. If you lose, you can comfort yourself. Isn't that great?"

Yan Siyu gave Shen Yuan a thumbs up and praised her, "I really can't believe it, Yuan Yuan, you know so much at such a young age."

Shen Yuan stared at the situation on the field while talking to Yan Siyu, "You are not much older than me, and you still say I am young."

Yan Siyu was used to being the younger sister at home, and when she met Shen Yuan, she actually had some thoughts of becoming the older sister.

"Sister, I became a 15-year-old in October last year. I am older than you even if I am one day older."

In this dynasty, girls have the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, which means they have reached adulthood. Only after reaching adulthood can they be engaged and married.

For girls, this ceremony is very important. As long as the family does not pay little attention to their daughters, a grand coming-of-age ceremony will be held.

"Yuanyuan, when is your coming-of-age ceremony? You must invite me to go!"

Shen Yuan had no idea what Yan Siyu was thinking, why did she suddenly jump to the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you." Shen Yuan patted her on the shoulder, calling her attention back to the west, "Look, your brother got the ball."

It seems that Yan Siyu's brother's hard work at home has paid off. Now he is dribbling the ball towards the black team's goal.

There were people who wanted to stop him, and these officials showed no mercy to the young man, but even so, he managed to dodge them flexibly.

"Good!" Yan Siyu, who was daydreaming just now, couldn't help but cheer for her brother. No matter how much she disliked him at home, she still looked favorably upon him in her heart.

Pass the last person, stand still, raise your foot, and kick!

Just when everyone thought the ball was sure to go in, a black figure suddenly flew out from the side and headed the ball off target, causing it to hit the goal frame and fly out of bounds.

The people on the field didn't even see clearly who flew to block the ball. Half of the people in and outside the stands were feeling sorry that the ball didn't go in, while the other half were cheering for the excellent defense.

On the training ground, Xie Yuan stood up, rubbing his head with the help of his son.

"Thank you, sir. I'm sorry for offending you. Are you okay?" Yan Sijue looked worried. Although this was a competition, the opponent was the county lord after all. If his ball really damaged his opponent, he would be in trouble.

Xie Yuan waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. You kicked the ball well. Keep it up."

Then he replied, "I'm not made of paper, your father. Go away."

Then he stretched out his hand to signal the referee that the game could continue.

After the first half, the score was 1-0.

"How about it, your father is still very good, right?"

In the rest tent, Xie Yuanchong raised his eyebrows at Xie Hui and said with a proud look on his face.

If it weren't for the dusty clothes and the egg on his forehead, he would have a bit of the romantic style of Wei Jin.

"I didn't know that Master Xie had such great skills!"

"Yes, yes, Master Xie is also a man of both civil and military talents."

"Master Xie is also very capable! You two are the great contributors to our team today."

Xie Yuan was smiling the whole time and listened to a lot of compliments. He was not polite and accepted all the compliments, and he did not forget to return the compliments.

"This is what they call a tiger son has a dog father."

"Hahahaha - good, good, good, a tiger son has a dog father."

The adults in the tent were laughing happily, leaving Xie Hui speechless and looking up at the sky. He simply stood up and walked out.

As soon as Xie Hui walked out, he saw his mother coming over with her maid.

"Mother, are you here to see Father?"

"Yes, but now it seems that I worried too much." Princess Kangle also heard the laughter in the camp. They were so happy, so there must be nothing to worry about.

"I'll go get my father out."

"No need." The princess held Xie Hui back, "I'm relieved since nothing happened. If I ask him to come out, he'll have to talk to me for a long time."

Princess Kang Le knew her husband very well. What he did on the court today was enough for him to show off for half a month, so there was no need to rush.

"You should be careful too. Stop playing games and don't work too hard." The princess reached out and patted the dust off her son's clothes. She couldn't just care about her husband and forget about her son.

“Cough cough cough!”

Before Xie Hui could stop it, he saw a cloud of dust rising from his body.

That's what black clothes are like. They don't look disgusting, but the dust inside is quite noticeable.

"Mom, are you okay? Cailan, help me wash up."

"I'm fine, I was just grumbling for a moment. Remember what I told you, the game is about to start, I won't keep you any longer."

He nodded in response to indicate that he had remembered everything, and then stood there and watched his mother leave.

But after taking a few steps, Princess Kang Le turned back.

"Today, my mother saw a very cute little girl."

After saying that, she gave him a mysterious smile. Somehow, Xie Hui had a bad feeling in his heart.
