When Mu Qingchen came over, Zhong Ding immediately closed his mouth and went to find Zhou Tong and the others with his horse and club.
Mu Qingchen looked at Zhong Ding's back and asked, "What were you talking about? Why did he leave as soon as he saw me?"
"Nothing." Gu Jiao said.
She doesn't like to gossip, and she doesn't like to spread gossip.
She paused, and Xu felt that she still had to answer Mu Qingchen's words, and added, "I didn't say you."
Mu Qingchen no longer asked.
He could almost guess that the arrival of the Duke of Ming Dynasty caused a bit of a stir. Although the Duke of Ming Dynasty did not indicate his identity, most of the students here are from Shengdu. Among them, there are many well-known sons of aristocratic families, and some of them have met the Duke of Ming Dynasty. uncertain.
"Are you picking a club?" Mu Qingchen asked, looking at Gu Jiao's constant change of clubs.
"Yeah." Gu Jiao responded lightly.
Not a single club was in hand.
Mu Qingchen left without saying a word, and Gu Jiao didn't care, and continued to choose the club.
Not long after that, Mu Qingchen came back, holding a horse and an extra club in his hand: "Here."
Gu Jiao glanced at him, took the club he handed over, weighed it, and made a gesture. It was heavier than those clubs, but the weight was just right for her who was used to using the red tassel.
"Thank you." Gu Jiao thanked him, then looked at him and said, "What are you using?"
"This." Mu Qingchen grabbed a club in the basket at random, and turned on his horse: "I'll show you."
Gu Jiao also got on her horse: "Okay."
Mu Qingchen first introduced the requirements and rules of juju to Gu Jiao. Juju was first handed down from the imperial family of Jin Kingdom. As soon as he entered Yan Kingdom, he was loved by the royal family and relatives, and gradually became popular among the powerful circles. Today, many aristocratic academies have included kicking into their teaching courses.
There is no kicking class in Tianqiong Academy, but Wu Fuzi often takes students to kick kicking.
Juju has high requirements on horses, and all juju horses must undergo very strict training, which is far more difficult than war horses.
The requirements for juju players are not low. Riding, skill, physical strength, willpower, and on-the-spot adaptability are all indispensable.
"Put the ball into the opponent's hole to win."
Mu Qingchen then explained, "But remember, don't collide and intercept head-on, don't use the club to hit the opponent or interfere with the opponent's horse, and don't use the body to touch the ball. These are the main taboos, and there will inevitably be some unexpected conflicts during the game. So protect yourself."
He said, pointing to the protective gear that was carried over by the academy's servant, and said, "The protective gear is here, put it on, and officially play a game."
Gu Jiao put on elbow pads, knee pads, palm pads, and went on stage with Mu Qingchen.
She tried all four positions in turn, and they were all good, but the most amazing thing was the shot she hit when she was kicking.
The ball was passed to her by Mu Qingchen. Under the interference of Master Wu, the pass actually went wrong. Unexpectedly, she hooked the ball from the top of her head accurately and hit it out again. It was impossible to see through it. Clearing the distance, she slammed the ball into the hole.
Everyone was amazed by this shot.
This momentum, this quasi-head, is simply a natural kicker!
Mu Qingchen rode his horse to Gu Jiao's side, and gave her a deep look: "Is this really your first time kicking?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
Mu Qingchen hesitated to speak, but finally said: "That shot just now, very skilled."
Gu Jiao thought about it seriously and said, "Well, this is probably the legendary talent?"
Mu Qingchen: "…"
The afternoon's training ended quickly, and Gu Jiao played for the first time. Compared with Mu Qingchen, who had played Ju since childhood, her skills were naturally a little green, but it basically met Master Wu's expectations, except that Gu Jiao was too fierce. Foul if you're not careful.
It's easy to get sent off.
Master Wu said: "The competition is seven days away. In these few days, everyone should hurry up and train."
Wu Fuzi selected a total of twenty people, only four actually played, and there were a few more substitutes.
In the next few days, Gu Jiao would stay in the academy to train with Mu Qingchen and others after school, and Gu Xiaoshun would sit on the edge of the grass field and wait for her.
Blink to the day before the game.
Master Wu called everyone to the grass field and announced the players selected based on their training performance in the past few days. Not surprisingly, the first one was Mu Qingchen.
The other three are Gu Jiao, Yuan Xiao of Mingfengtang, and Zhao Wei of Mingyuetang.
Muchuan is a substitute.
Since Gu Xiaoshun often waited for Gu Jiao on the grassland, he joined a logistics team leader and also went to the competition with them.
Master Wu said with a smile: "I won't train today, everyone go back to rest early, recharge your batteries, and go to Lingbo Academy tomorrow morning."
…
After Gu Jiao returned to the house, she told her family about going to the inner city for the game tomorrow morning.
Gu Yan suddenly said, "I also want to watch your game."
Gu Jiao looked at Gu Yan and nodded, "Okay."
Before going to bed, Gu Jiao checked Gu Yan's body again, morning and evening have become Gu Jiao's habit.
Gu Yan was lying on the bed, and obediently lifted her shirt and asked Gu Jiao to put the stethoscope on it.
His condition has not deteriorated much for the time being, but it is not a problem to go to a game.
After Gu Jiao returned to the house, she put the stethoscope back in the small medicine box, lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
What Gu Jiao didn't expect was that she dreamed again at night.
Why did she say it again, because it wasn't the first time she had a dream since she came to Shengdu, but she didn't remember what she dreamed every time she woke up.
The sky in the dream is gray, and the hour cannot be discerned.
She was outside a quiet courtyard, and in front of her was a vermilion courtyard door. On the door was a naughty kid who scratched a few nicks with the tip of a knife.
Strange, why did she subconsciously think it was caused by a naughty little guy? What if the next person bumped into something when he was moving something
She pushed open the courtyard door and stepped into the courtyard.
A cluster of green bamboos was planted in the corner on the left, and rows of bell flowers were planted on both sides by the courtyard wall. The breeze blew and the bell flowers rustled.
This is an unfamiliar yet familiar yard.
Unfamiliar is because Gu Jiao has never been there, familiarity is that although she has been there, she still vaguely knows what room is used for.
From the east end of the corridor, the first room is the wing room, the second room is the upper room, the third room is the study room, and the storeroom is turned around.
Gu Jiao looked strangely at the whole row of houses in front of her.
A voice came from behind the closed study door.
"Yinyin, it's time to practice calligraphy, come here."
"Don't be lazy. Oops, you're hiding again, aren't you?"
"How many times have I told you that I have to practice 100 words every day."
The owner of this voice is—
Just when Gu Jiao couldn't figure it out, the door of the study opened, and a man in a blue gown stepped out.
Gu Jiao recognized him at a glance.
It is the grandfather of the country.
At this time, the grandfather of the country was still very young, handsome and handsome, and he was different from the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed.
So why she recognized him at a glance, she herself didn't know.
In short, as soon as this man came out, she had his identity in her mind.
"Sound."
The man started looking in every room.
"Yinyin, don't hide, it's time to practice calligraphy."
"Okay, I won't force you to practice calligraphy, let's go out to play, you come out."
"Sound."
"Sound!"
"Where did you go, Yinyin!"
The young prince's voice became tense.
"Yinyin, don't scare me, come out!"
"Where have you been, Yinyin?"
"Dad misses you so much, Yinyin, come out quickly!"
His eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his voice was trembling and choking involuntarily: "Yinyin... Yinyin... Dad misses you, Yinyin..."
He stumbled down the steps.
Gu Jiao reached out her hand subconsciously, as if she wanted to help him.
Gu Jiao was at the door, he was on the steps, and there was an entire courtyard between them.
She put her hand down again.
At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door: "Yinyin!"
Gu Jiao was shocked, opened her eyes, and woke up from her sleep.
The dream in her mind faded like a tide, and she soon did not remember what happened in the dream, only a panicked handsome face.
"It's a bit like the grandfather of the country."
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows.
Did she see Grandpa Guo too many times, so she dreamed of him in all her dreams
After dawn, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan were ready to go.
Gu Yan was weak and inconvenient to walk, but fortunately, Master Lu made a wheelchair for him.
Master Lu drove the three to Tianqiong Academy.
Master Wu took everyone from the academy, and Mu Qingchen and Muchan returned to the inner city last night, and they went to Lingbo academy by themselves.
Gu Jiao wanted to bring Gu Yan, but President Cen and Master Wu had no problem.
The group entered the inner city in a carriage.
On the other side, Second Master Jing also used a wheelchair to push his eldest brother out of the yard.
"Hey! What are you doing?" The second lady stopped him and asked.
The second master Jing looked at the elder brother in the wheelchair and said to the second lady, "There is a kicking competition today, I will take the elder brother to see it."
The second lady hurriedly said: "Big brother is like this, do you still want to take big brother out?"
Master Jing said sternly: "Big brother is much better, I saw big brother open his eyes last night!"
The second lady glared at him: "Is that opening your eyes?"
After opening it, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to close it, and he didn't respond when talking to him. That was simply eyelid twitching, right
The second lady hehe said: "I think you want to go to the juju yourself! What a pretense to use the big brother!"
Second Master Jing cleared his throat: "cough cough! Don't I feel worried about leaving my eldest brother alone in the house? Assassins always come to assassinate my eldest brother, so I can rest assured that I have to watch my eldest brother in person. Besides, the imperial doctor also lets us Push big brother out to get some sunshine!"
The second lady said coldly, "Are you going to see Jiju or those little beauties in Canglan Academy!"
Second Master Jing said domineeringly, "Of course I'm here to see the Juju!"
Just take a look at the little beauties....
The second lady frowned and muttered, "But I can't leave today if there is something in the house."
You're right that you can't go away.
How can I see the little beauty when you go
Second Master Jing smiled and said: "You are busy with your work, come back when you are done, and I will reserve a seat for you!"
The second lady gave Jing Erye a cold look.
Second Master Jing struttingly pushed his eldest brother away.
The second lady called a servant: "Go and serve the second master, remember to keep an eye on the second master, don't ask him to be outside... Hu Lai!"
The servant replied, "Yes, ma'am!"
…
As the competition venue, Lingbo College has a holiday for the students today. Although Canglan Women's College has not announced a holiday, it has basically arranged self-study. Most of the students went to Lingbo College to watch the game.
Lingbo Academy has the largest kicking field in the inner city, and the seats with the widest view on both sides have stands.
"I'm going to see the kick!"
In the Linglong Pavilion dormitory, Xiao Jingkong protested to the bad brother-in-law who forced him to study.
"No." Xiao Heng said.
Xiao Jingkong fryed his hair on the spot: "You are such a bad brother-in-law! Don't even show me the Juju!"
Xiao Heng said indifferently: "There are so many people, you are so young, you don't even know that you have been stepped on."
"I've grown taller! I'm not too young! I'm me... I'm so tall!" Xiao Jingkong stood on tiptoe and tried to gesture upwards above his head.
Xiao Heng glanced at him and continued to flip through the books in his hand.
The small headroom is really pissed off.
He's running away from home for the second time!
dong dong dong!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Xiao Jingkong asked.
The bad brother-in-law pretended to be mute because he couldn't speak a female voice.
The girl outside the house said with a smile, "It's clearance, is your sister here? We're here to invite her to watch the juju match next door."
Xiao Jingkong looked at Xiao Heng as if he had seen a ghost: "How could someone invite you to watch the game?"
The bad brother-in-law is so bad that he has no friends!
Xiao Heng did not move.
The small headroom is crazy!
It's good to have someone to be your friend, but you still hate it!
Xiao Jingkong snorted: "If you don't go, I will go!"
Xiao Heng didn't lift his eyelids: "Ha."
Xiao Jingkong resolutely abandoned the bad brother-in-law, and came to the door da da da, looked at the three daughters outside the house with a cute face, and said, "My sister won't go with you, I will go with you!"
The three were stunned.
The girl who just spoke said: "Ah, this, it's still not... How dare we take you out without your sister's consent?"
They didn't really want to take this foreigner as a friend to invite her. It was only by inviting her that they could get a good seat.
Those sons of noble families have already bought the best venues, and they are scrambling to leave them the number one beauty in the academy!
The three of them didn't give up and thought of something. One of them looked at the scholarly beauty in the room and said, "I heard that Tianqiong Academy is also participating, and Young Master Qingchen will be on the stage. Are you really not going to take a look?"
Xiao Heng paused while reading the book.
…
A quarter of an hour later, the first beauty of Canglan Women's Academy appeared in the Juju arena of Lingbo Academy wearing a veil and holding a little black baby.
A large number of famous guards swarmed up!
"Miss Gu! My son has already set up the stands, please move Miss Gu!"
"Miss Gu! My son has also set up a stand! Please come with me, Miss Gu!"
"Miss Gu!"
"Miss Gu!"
Xiao Heng showed a piece of paper: "Where is the grandstand of Tianqiong Academy?"
A well-dressed guard raised his hand: "Here! Here! My son's grandstand is right next to Tianqiong Academy!"
Grandpa: Who is this guy next to me? I looked a little unpleasant.
