Chapter 17: Ancient Acacia Song-7
After the Cuju competition started, Tang Xiaoshi was with Miss Wang, a few seats away from Xiao Liren and Chu Rongyu.At first Xiao Liren felt at ease, but when she saw Chu Rongyu looking at Xiao Yiren from time to time, her heart was not so happy.
Occasionally, there are noble ladies who come to strike up a conversation with Chu Rongyu, Chu Rongyu always responds politely and gently, even if the noble ladies provoke her with words intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Rongyu responds calmly, or even doesn't care at all.
She felt wronged and sulked even more.
In the end, General Tian's eldest daughter sat directly in their seats and chatted with Chu Rong next to Chu Rong with a smiling face.As soon as she opened her mouth, Tian's daughter would directly bring up the topic, which aroused her anger, but she couldn't show it in Chu Rong's face, so she could only bear it.
"Last year, the victorious team won the championship. This year, my brother invited the experts in the army to give advice. In this game, the victorious team should win the first place." Miss Tian said with a smile watching the game.
Of the two Cuju teams playing today, one of them is the ever-victorious team led by Tian Dalang.
Xiao Liren was not convinced, and glanced at her, full of disdain and sarcasm, but her tone remained calm and soft: "For so many years of competition, if you say that the Falcons have won the most championships. Last year, Young General Liang did not return from the army, and he often won Only the Falcons have a chance to win the championship. This year when General Liang returns, in my humble opinion, the Falcons will be number one."
Miss Tian glanced at her coldly, then turned to Chu Rong and asked with a sweet smile, "What does Mr. Chu think?"
Chu Rong and looked away from Xiao Yiren, and looked at the game on the field. The winning team has already beaten the opponent by several chips.He looked at the rafters of the Falcons who were waiting to play, feeling a little confused.
"I can't tell at this time, it's between five and five between the two teams."
Miss Tian and Xiao Liren both felt disappointed when they saw that he was avoiding him and was impartial.
Tang Xiaoshi, who was seated next to her, watched the game with great interest while eating and drinking.
In the past few days, she has familiarized herself with the rules of the Cuju game, which is very different from the real football game, the most obvious difference being the number of people.There are only six people in each team in the Cuju competition here.
Knowing the rules, she can understand them, but she is not very interested in the game, she is more interested in watching people.
A group of gentlemen with weak crowns, all of them are running and chasing in the arena in a heroic manner. It is a great enjoyment to have a panoramic view of all the demeanors.
Her eyes stared at this gentleman for a while, and at that gentleman for a while, but she couldn't see it.While watching, he asked the cousins around him who was the husband of which family, how old they were, and whether they were married.It caused all the sisters to make fun of: "You are not here to watch the game, you are here to find your husband."
She smiled, noncommittal, but couldn't help but cast a glance at the rafters outside the field.
If he is the husband-in-law in the poem he is wearing, at best, their result will be lovesickness for thousands of miles, and sleepless in an empty bed; [1]".She really has to plan for the future, so she can't end up as a longing woman, a bitter woman or even a widow.
"The victorious team has improved rapidly this year compared to last year. I don't think the Falcons may be able to regain the top spot." A gentleman at the next table commented.
His companion waved his hand: "Not necessarily, Liang Dalang was absent last year, but he is here this year. In my opinion, the leader belongs to Falcon."
"I agree, counting the past few years, every time the Falcons didn't win the championship, it wasn't because he wasn't there."
"Not necessarily, not necessarily. Chang Sheng's strength this year is far better than last year. Even if Falcon has Liang Dalang, it may not be able to win."
"How about we make a bet?"
"Just bet, I'm afraid you won't succeed."
Several gentlemen began to gamble while talking.
The former Xiao Yiren didn't care about Cuju competitions, and he didn't remember much about Cuju competitions in previous years.It was only during this time that she learned something.
The victorious team and the Falcons have been fighting for the top spot in recent years, and each has its own winners and losers.Tian Dalang and Liang Zhuan are the top players in the two teams, which almost represent the strength of their teams.But according to what the eldest brother said, comparing the two of them alone, Tian Dalang is by no means Liang Zhuan's opponent.
These two teams will inevitably face each other in the end, and she is really looking forward to seeing how the two teams compete.
The last game of the day was the match between the Falcons and another team. She saw Liang Zhuan's Cuju skills, which were indeed outstanding. What surprised him most was the tacit cooperation of the six members of the Falcons. This is what she saw today. The team with the most tacit cooperation in the multi-cuju team.
Compared with the winning team, she still can't see the strength or weakness.
The next day's game was the same, and there was a Falcons game in the morning, so she barely sat in the stands for a long time, and in the afternoon, she lost interest, and went with the sisters of the Wang family to release paper kites on a small windward slope outside the fence.
That's what girls like.
The spring breeze warms the sun, green grass and wild flowers, and the air is refreshing.
Just as the kites started to fly, Miss Tian also brought her maidservant over to release the kites.
Not long after, a few paper kites flew into the sky, and several girls were chasing and playing on the lawn holding strings, and the laughter spread far away.
"Miss, be careful." Xirui called out in alarm, and rushed over to pull her, but she was a bit too late, she was slammed from behind, and she fell to the ground, but luckily the grass was soft and there was no pain.
She spit out the grass in her mouth in one gulp, and her anger surged up all of a sudden.Where did this force hit her accidentally, it was obviously hitting her on purpose.
Xirui panicked and stepped forward to help her.She turned her head and saw that it was the servant girl of the Tian family who bumped into her, she was also thrown to the ground, she got up and knelt down on the ground to admit her mistake and beg for mercy.
How dare a servant girl take the initiative to offend her without the master's instruction?
Miss Tian handed over the kite spool in her hand to the maid beside her and walked over unhurriedly, seeing her embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help laughing.Pretentiously, he scolded the maidservant at his feet: "You poor maidservant, you must be damned for bumping into Lady Xiao."
The maid explained tremblingly: "The maid didn't have a heart, but Ying..."
"It's your fault, you have to admit it, and dare to forcibly argue?" Miss Tian scolded angrily.
The maid did not dare to argue, so she kowtowed to her and begged for mercy.
Miss Tian smiled apologetically and said, "Miss Xiao, forgive me, I will teach this lowly maid a lesson when I go back."
She glanced at the trembling servant girl, but it was just a stone thrown at her by the other party, and she would not care about a stone if she saw it or not.
Looking at Miss Tian's proud face.She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, she really wanted to rush up and slap her hard on the mouth.
When the sisters of the Wang family inquired and found out that she was not injured, a cousin reprimanded Miss Tian, "I think you ordered the servant girl to do this on purpose, right? Seeing how easy it is to bully Yiren's cousin?"
"Miss Wang, how can you spout blood?"
"Am I spitting blood? Your maid knocked Yiren's cousin down. It's a felony. You can just scold her and finish it? Who knows if you will teach me a lesson when you go back? You are right here in front of us, and you taught Yiren a lesson from this maid." My cousin apologizes." Turning around, he told the servant girl beside him, "Go find a stick, it must be tough."
The servant girl around her immediately took the order to retreat.
Miss Tian was out of breath, and couldn't say anything to refute.
The kneeling maid was so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Tang Xiaoshi couldn't bear it, the servant girl obviously didn't know the situation and was cast as a scapegoat, she persuaded her cousin, "Why make things difficult for a maidservant."
"The maidservant is also the face of the master. If you make a mistake, you can just expose it with a single sentence. Look at the one you were thrown, covered in mud and grass juice, and you are in disrepair."
She looked down, she was wearing a light-colored skirt today, the dirt was particularly obvious, and she looked even more miserable.
But these should not be counted on the head of a maid.
At this time, the maidservant who was looking for the stick came back, carrying a fresh branch that had just been broken from the tree, and the leaves had not been removed.Cousin Wang snatched Miss Chaotian's hand and said, "Apologize!"
Miss Tian glared at them for not answering.
"Aren't you going to teach this maid a lesson? Teach me!" Cousin Wang pressed.
Seeing the pity of the kneeling servant girl, Tang Xiaoshi couldn't bear her to take the blame. She glanced at the other party and took a step forward to take the branch and walked to Miss Tian.
"Why don't Miss Tian do it herself!"
"Don't go too far!" Miss Tian said angrily.
Tang Xiaoshi smiled but did not smile: "Indeed, such a servant girl shouldn't bother Miss Tian to do it herself, so let the maid next to you... who should be called Ying do it, she should often help Mrs. Tian teach others, Skilled."
When she was walking towards Sakura, she stretched out her hand holding the branch suddenly in front of Miss Tian, and the leaves brushed against Miss Tian's cheek, causing her to scream and fall backwards, and the maid reached out to help her.She grabbed Miss Tian's arm and kicked her calf forcefully with her foot. She let go of her hand suddenly, and dodged to the side to take a step. Miss Tian fell to her knees on the ground.
Several maidservants around her were astonished and immediately helped her up. Miss Tian screamed out of pain in her legs and couldn't stand up.
Tang Xiaoshi couldn't help snickering, and the cousins of the Wang family also snickered.
"Miss Tian, such an apology...is absolutely unacceptable." Cousin Wang teased.
Miss Tian stared at her fiercely, and roared: "Xiao Yiren, you...you plot against me."
"You call it plotting, I'm kind enough to give you a hand."
"You..." Miss Tian stood up with the help of the servant girl and was about to rush over, but suddenly her movements froze, and she slowly retracted, covering her face with grievance and wanting to cry.
Tang Xiaoshi looked back vigilantly, Chu Rongyu and Xiao Liren led their servants towards this side.
When the two came closer, Xiao Liren looked horrified and asked her why she was so messed up all over her body.
The Tian girl beside her rubbed her legs and began to cry, as if she had been wronged by the sky.
Xiao Liren immediately asked again: "Why did you bully Lady Tian to cry?"
Tang Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know anything, so she decided it was her fault?
The lady Tian next to her seemed to be crying even more aggrieved and sad, and she also groaned in pain.
"What happened?" Chu Rong and his voice were gentle.
The maid named Ying immediately replied: "The maid accidentally bumped into Miss Xiao by mistake, and Miss Xiao was so angry that she beat my wife."
Xiao Liren immediately said in a reproachful tone: "Yiren, how could you hit someone with your own hands?"
"I..." Fuck!Tang Xiaoshi stared at Xiao Liren, ten thousand muddy horses were galloping in her heart.
It really is a bitch.
No wonder Miss Tian, who had never had any contact with her, came to trouble her. It turned out that it was not because of the discord between her brothers, but because she was used by Xiao Liren.Bringing Chu Rongyu here now is to let him see the two girls fighting rudely and both of them in a mess, so that Chu Rongyu hates them, killing two birds with one stone.
How disgusting!
"Sister, would you rather believe in the maidservant of the Tian family than her own younger sister? It turns out that I am not as good as other maids in my sister's heart." She also pretended to be pitiful, and she was about to cry.
To dress everyone together.
Cousin Wang held her hand and coaxed her a few words, and said to Xiao Liren: "It was Mrs. Tian who ordered the maid to knock over Cousin Yiren. Just now Mrs. Tian was unsteady on her feet and fell down. Cousin Yiren kindly gave her a hand. committed a crime? How can Lady Li believe what a lowly maid from another family says and accuse her younger sister? What's the reason?"
"I..." Xiao Liren was speechless for a moment.
Chu Ronghe glanced at the tearful Tian girl, ignored it, walked up to Xiao Yiren, and comforted him: "Miss Li is also a little impatient, don't be too sad, as long as you don't get hurt, don't worry about it anymore okay?"
She pretended to sob twice: "Who wants to care about it? You are the one who cares about me and wronged me." Sniffing her nose twice, she burst into tears, and with a grievance, she turned and walked towards the fenced field.
Chu Rongyu called her eagerly behind her, she trotted two steps faster, couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth, and didn't let herself laugh out loud.
Walking around a row of bushes, he saw Xiao Cheng and Liang Zhuan walking side by side.
"Yi Ren, what's the matter?" He cried and laughed at the same time.
