Eighty-two, Da Luo and Xiao Luo

On March 5, the second place in the nine groups of the Qingming Cuju competition was held. In order to win three top 12 places, the fierce competition will be held in two games in one day. There will be eight games in four days, and the devil's schedule.

"Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" has few substitutes and is exhausted. Zhou Xuan always claims to be good at physical strength, but he can't do it by the fifth game of the third day. He can still hold on in the first half, but his feet cramped in the second half. He sits there and pulls his feet, and he is not the only one who lie down. In the second half, less than half of the eight people on each side can run. It's just Lin Hanyun who looks at the net and picks the balls are so tired.

Fortunately, the three crazy, four crazy and Lin Ning, the main players who were both strong and hard-working, were tireless. The second half of the year was supported by the three of them, and the results were getting higher and higher. The first four games of the eight games, the "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" lost one, and in the next four games, they won all the 12-year-olds, which is no wonder that each Yuanshe wants to introduce martial arts masters, and the advantages are too obvious.

The twelve forces were all produced, and they were rested for two days. On March 11th, the wonderful and cruel twelve forces will begin, and the draw of lots will be the private Cuju team of Wang Shizhang, the second place in the Cuju competition last year. Wang Shizhang was the big salt merchant who imitated Hu Shang Abu donated silver. His family wealth was one million. His three daughters were given to the governor of Guangling, the governor of Zhenhai, and the left prime minister Wei Xuan as his concubine. Each daughter accompanied the dowry of 100,000 gold beads. He used the relationship between nepotism and money to form a net in the top leaders of the Tang State. The business became bigger and bigger. Lianghuai salt industry was almost monopolized by the Wang family. The net profit was hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, and the wealth was as good as the country.

But even with Wei Xuan's power, he could not get a job for Wang Shizhang. Wang Shizhang was still the last of the four people. A poor scholar could also despise him proudly. Although he could find someone to teach the scholar a lesson afterwards, he always had no status no matter what. So when Wang Shizhang learned that Hu Shang Abu had donated 50,000 taels of silver and was named the seventh-ranking Chaosanlang, he was anxious and immediately donated 60,000 taels of silver and thought to himself: "I donated 10,000 taels more than that Abu. The imperial court should not be lower than Abu, right?" But after waiting around, he had been waiting for almost a month, but he had not seen the emperor reward him. The 60,000 taels of silver sink to the sea!

Wang Shizhang used his third daughter who married Wei Xuan to inquire with Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan said, "Abu was a special favor for His Majesty, and it was an exception, not a customary system for the court. It was difficult for Wang Weng to be appointed as an official." In fact, Wei Xuan thought that the importance of Shang was Zhou Xuan's proposal to the Eastern Palace. If he agreed, it would be equivalent to compromising with the Eastern Palace. Wouldn't it embarrassing King Jing? He refused to speak to Li Yujin for Wang Shizhang.

Seeing that Wei Xuan refused to help, Wang Shizhang felt a little cold and thought angrily: "I heard that Hu Shang Abu and the Hou of Xinzhou were friends of poverty and humbleness. Hou Xinzhou was well developed and was willing to vigorously support his old friends. He won the seventh-rank official at the price of 50,000 taels of silver. It's so cost-effective. Hou of Xinzhou is loyal enough, not like Wei Xuan. I, Old Wang, gave his delicate daughter to him, the old man in his fifties, to benefit from it. The dowry is worth 100,000 taels of silver. He also gave him tens of thousands of taels of money every year, but he refused to say something to me in the court. It's really unscrupulous!"

Wang Shizhang wanted to make friends with Zhou Xuan, but no one recommended him. He heard that Zhou Xuan was also good at Cuju, and he would invite his opponent to the banquet after the game. Wang Shizhang hoped that his Wang Yuanshe could play against the "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe", but he was unable to be in the same group during the group stage. Wang Shizhang was afraid that the "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" would not be able to enter the top 12, so there would be no chance of a match.

Wang Shizhang didn't watch the game of Yuanshe himself, and took two people to watch the game of "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" every day. He hoped that Zhou Xuan would win the game than the people of the Xinzhou Marquis' Mansion. Seeing that Zhou could not run in the next two games, Wang Shizhang was anxious. He knew that there were too few players in the "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" and no one would be substitute. Although he barely entered the top 12, he would definitely not be able to play in the subsequent games.

Wang Shizhang not only spent money to get his Wang Family Yuanshe to draw the "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" in the top 12, but also urgently summoned the two Luo brothers from his Wang Family Yuanshe youth team from Guangling to Jinling, and told them to surrender to the Marquis of Xinzhou. They should not mention his name Wang Shizhang, but only said that they loved Cuju since childhood and admired the name of Xinzhou Hou and came to join.

The Luo brothers were raised by Wang Shizhang since childhood. They recognized Wang Shizhang as their adopted father. Wang Shizhang prefers to recognize adopted sons and has a lot of adopted sons with skill.

The Luo brothers knew that their Wang Yuanshe would fight the "Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe" in two days, and asked, "Enjoyed Father, are you asking my brothers to go undercover? At that time, my brothers and I deliberately fought a mess-"

"No, no, no, no!" Wang Shizhang shook his head into a rattle: "You must be sincere and loyal to the Marquis of Xinzhou and contribute to the Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe. The more you can use the Marquis of Xinzhou, the better. You must take care of anything else. Remember, it is true loyalty. Don't be weak when playing against Wang's Yuanshe the day after tomorrow. You must win and score a goal for the Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe. Do you understand?"

The Luo brothers were both simple teenagers. Although they didn’t understand Wang Shizhang’s intention, they nodded and said, “I understand, adoptive father.”

Wang Shizhang waved and said, "Okay, you go now. The man from Xinzhou Hou is good and he should treat you well. If he doesn't treat you well, then you will come back."

On the 10th morning of March, the Luo brothers each came to the gate of Xinzhou Hou Mansion on Xiangluanfang with a bag. They looked around and were about to ask the soldiers guarding the gate, but they saw two exquisite carriages coming out of the Dongyuan Gate, followed by a black horse and a black mule.

A woman in the carriage in front of him lifted the curtain and said, "The Marquis went to Shanglinyuan to accompany the Empress Cuju first, and then went to Jingxu Palace to paint a portrait of the princess. The princess was very anxious. The Marquis was busy playing football a few days ago, and I'm happy that she had some time in the past two days."

The young man riding a dark horse smiled and said, "Yes, I've been exhausted these days. I'm afraid my legs will tremble when I accompany the Queen to Cuju."

The Luo brothers knew that the man riding a dark horse was Zhou Xuan, the Marquis of Xinzhou. He immediately knelt down beside the road and shouted: "Marty, Marquis Zhou, my brothers heard that Marquis loves Cuju, so they came to join us."

Zhou Xuanle stopped the horse, looked at the two teenagers, and asked with a smile: "Who are you two?"

The Luo brothers said, "Mr. Hui, I am from Guangling, and my surname is Luo——"

The boy with a slightly taller child and two rabbit teeth said, "My name is Daluo."

The boy with a slightly thinner child and neat and prominent teeth said, "My name is Xiao Luo."

"Big Luo and Ronaldo?" Zhou Xuan was interested and said to Feng Ajian in the carriage in front of her to ask her to wait. He jumped off the horse and walked to the Luo brothers, patted the shoulder, pinched the thigh, and said, "Yes, it looks like he is often exercised. How are your football skills?"

Da Luo and Xiao Luo said in unison: "You can tell if you try the ball."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I'm quite confident - the fourth brother, go to the mansion to get a ball and test them on the spot."

The four cynics were about to turn the big black mule back home, but they heard Da Luo and Xiao Luo said, "Marty, my brothers have the ball, and they always keep the ball away." As he said, he untied the burden behind him, took out a ball, and bowed politely: "Marty, please look--"

Daro Ronaldo threw the ball, and Ronaldo kicked the ball into the air. After the ball fell, it gently caught it with the instep and kicked it to Ronaldo. Daro Ronaldo put the ball on his head, and ran with his head while running. He ran very fast. The ball did not land, ran ten feet, raised his leg and hung the ball towards Ronaldo. Ronaldo stretched his neck and stood there motionlessly. The ball hit his head, and then started playing in a daze. The ball went left and right, and it was simply turning around the body.

Lin Hanyun in the carriage behind him was the first to applaud and praised: "Good football skills! Good football skills! Brother Zhou Xuan quickly accept them, so that our Yuanshe will not be so short of soldiers."

Zhou Xuan also applauded and said, "It's true that the art of football is good! Da Luo, Xiao Luo, and many famous Yuanshe in Beijing. Why do you two brothers just look for me, the famous Yuanshe?"

The Luo brothers looked at each other, and Xiao Luo was more slapped and said, "The Marquis is famous in the capital. My brothers have admired each other for a long time. I hope the Marquis will take him in."

Lin Hanyun shouted: "Brother Zhou Xuan is ready to collect it!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, since you two brothers are willing to come to my 'Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe', I, Zhou Xuan, will never treat you badly." Ask the servants of the mansion to call Lai Fu and arrange accommodation for the Luo brothers. Wen Yan said, "The two little brothers rest in the mansion first. If you want to play football, go to the 'Yihe Mountain Room' to find two grandsons. I will go to the palace first and have something to do. Come back in the afternoon to talk to you and practice football."

Da Luo and Xiao Luo said in unison: "Please give me the favor."

Zhou Xuan rode on the "Black Rose" and accompanied two palace cars to the forbidden city.

Siqi approached and asked, "The master is suspicious of these two teenagers? Although they are flexible, they are obviously not martial arts people."

Zhou Xuan said: "There is no doubt. These two brothers, like Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong, look simple. They are not people with bad intentions. I am just a little strange. Their football skills have obviously been practiced for a long time. How can ordinary farm boys be so idle?"

Lin Hanyun heard this and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, have you said that you need talent for anything you learn? Da Luo and Xiao Luo are just people with Cuju talent."

The Sizi said: "Maybe he is a servant of a wealthy family. He has been with his master since he was a child. You will know after asking the next question."

Zhou Xuan said: "No need to ask. They are new to us. We ask around and treat others as spies. This is not good. After following me, Zhou Xuan for a long time, we naturally know that I am good. We will naturally unite and no one will think about leaving. This is called the charm of personality."

The four fools don’t turn their faces and stop talking.

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan is so handsome. He always praises and boasts about himself. I'm tired of hearing it."

Lin Hanyun also learned the word "big face" from Zhou Xuan. She learned and used it carefully. Miss Lin Er is very talented in language.

When he arrived outside the Danfeng Gate of Daxing Palace, Siqi returned to Xiangluanfang and agreed to come to pick up Zhou Xuan in the afternoon. Now Siqi has become Zhou Xuan's first bodyguard. Jiannu Sanqi has a wife, so he is not as diligent as before.

Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun went to the Cuju venue in Shanglinyuan. The young Zhou Hou and Princess Qingle were both here. Princess Qingle was obviously waiting for Zhou Xuan. When it comes to painting the kind of spring palace painting, Princess Qingle was both nervous and excited, and she had a rebellious mood that made her heart beat faster. What made Princess Qingle quite satisfied was that Zhou Xuan did not despise her because she said she wanted to paint such spring palace paintings. Well, Australian men were enlightened and wise. It seems that Zhou Xuan and Australian beauties like to paint photos. Yes, youth is fleeting and beautiful women are easy to grow old, and only the delicate posture can be preserved in painting.

In fact, Zhou Xuan was painting the serpent palace for the Crown Princess of the Southern Han Dynasty. He had nothing to do with him. If anyone wanted to paint the needle for Qin Que and the needle was also like this, then Zhou Xuan would not be enlightened and wise. He would definitely not allow it. Unless he painted it himself, he was the unique master of serpent palace painting.

Zhou Xuan played Cuju with Xiao Zhouhou for a while. Xiao Zhouhou was so energetic that he was very excited to play balls. Zhou Xuan couldn't even prevent her and begged, "Auntie, let my nephew rest for a while, my nephew's legs are about to cramp again."

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and Feng Zhiyanran asked, "What should you do with your Cuju match the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Xuan said: "It's almost done for two days to rest. Just let someone lead you to your hands."

Xiao Zhou Hou said to the eunuch on the sidelines: "I will order the Imperial Medical Office to let the doctor who is good at hand-guided to be the marquis of Xinzhou." He also said to Zhou Xuan: "The doctor's hand-guided and medicine are very effective."

Zhou Xuan quickly thanked his aunt Longen.

Princess Qingle said, "Cousin Xuan, thank you for your hard work in Cuju, then go and paint a portrait for me."

Zhou Xuan said in his heart: "You think painting is not hard, essence, energy, and spirit are indispensable." However, he was still very expecting Princess Qingle's wonderful body and said, "Okay, my aunt also asked me to quickly paint the princess portrait."

Xiao Zhouhou said: "Then let the doctor of medicine go to Jingxu Palace to guide the nephew Xuan. In the afternoon, Nephew Xuan has lunch in Jingxu Palace." He also reminded Princess Qingle not to be rude to her cousin.

Princess Qingle said aggrievedly: "Why did the mother say that again? I have been very good to my cousin Xuan during this period. My mother asked me about my cousin Xuan."

Zhou Xuan quickly said, "Yes, the princess has been respectful to me recently."

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said, "Then you go."

Lin Hanyun said sweetly: "Brother Zhou Xuan, I will also see you paint for the princess."

Zhou Xuan said: "Then do you have to ask the princess if she is willing?"
