Chapter 62:

Gu Celadon always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't think of it.
They were all young ladies from the noble family and officials. The four of them greeted each other politely, and Gu Celadon and Liu Shu silently exchanged glances.
Cen Xi and He Luoyan had a good time, and Gu Celadon also knew them, but they didn't walk so close, and they never made an appointment to play together.
It was strange to think, how could a Cuju who had been cold for a few years date the two of them out?
Gu Celadon couldn't help but wonder, is Cuju really unfashionable these years? How to watch it like this, it seems that everyone is interested.
Can't help but catch people.
But she was not someone who could entangle her. After Wu Yao came over, she told several people that this was the master who taught Cuju.
Although Wu Yao came to Beijing to live in Li's house, but Gu Celadon didn't stay at Li's house when she didn't talk about practicing, and she was not seen most of the time.
Today, it was also Gu Celadon who took the maid to go out first in a carriage. Wu Yao said that he would go shopping for some things, and then he would arrive. Gu Celadon was of course hers.
Knowing that they are going to practice Cuju today, they have already changed their simple dresses, but Wu Yao still frowned when they saw it.
With his hands on his back, one foot on the ju, his eyes swept back and forth on several people, and then slowly asked: "You don't have a Cuju uniform?"
Several people looked at each other. A few seconds later, Gu Celadon opened his mouth, and said unsure: "Want to come? Do we need to prepare additional clothes?"
I haven't kicked the ball before, so I was naturally not thoughtful.
Wu Yao's eyelids twitched. No matter how he thought, no one of these young ladies knew this common sense that children outside the customs knew.
Everyone was silent for a while.
Yu Chuan, who was standing only a short distance away, heard the movement and hurriedly walked over. He bowed to the blessing, and then pleaded guilty: "I forgot to tell my grandma. The uncle went to the garment embroidery workshop to order the clothes. There are boots, but I forgot it before they were delivered over there. I just remembered it, but I guess it will be soon. I will ask again when I want to come. I can put it on next time."
Wu Yao didn't care after hearing this.
Liu Shuyue asked, "Is there still our share?"
Yu Chuan said with a smile: "My uncle said that it is a team uniform and wears the same uniform everywhere, and then if you are playing against others, they are of another style, so that you can distinguish them better, and you won't be dazzled to recognize the wrong person. "
Everyone will understand.
These people don’t know the basics at all. Wu Yao can only talk about it from the beginning. Gu Celadon has accepted the content before, so he is very confident, as if he is already the best. words.
It is obviously impossible to kick off officially today. The main task is to be familiar with the rules of Cuju, the other with the playing field, and the three with how to score.
Wu Yao is a very good master, starting from the most obvious level, and then jogging with them to play, try to stimulate their love for Cuju.
Although they are all sports idiots, Wu Yao is still satisfied with a little bit.
The four people, including Gu Qingci, were all physically strong. At least they didn't appear to have fainted after running two steps, or suffered from exhaustion.
Early in the morning, I heard that most of the ladies in these official households in the capital were delicate and weak, and they walked gracefully, gracefully, and swayed three steps.
Before Wu Yao came, he was worried about it. At first glance, he felt it was not quite true. Sure enough, the rumors were all exaggerated.
If Cen Xi heard these words, she would definitely roll her eyes and tell Wu Yao that the rumors are not necessarily groundless. When she sees more young ladies in the future, she will know.
However, the reason why Wu Yao is satisfied is that the psychological expectations of the students have been lower than the bottom line requirements. It is not that a few people are really good and have tough qualities.
So soon, several people were pale and panting.
Because it was the first training, Wu Yao didn't dare to use her own methods, but she took Li Chengze's money, if she scared the students away, she wouldn't have the money to pay.
So right now, Wu Yao's face was calm and smiling and very considerate, and said: "The ladies are all tired, go there and sit down and rest."
Several people were helped by the maid to rest.
This wasted a whole morning, and it will not end until noon when it’s time to eat.
Everyone is almost running out of energy to talk to each other, just want to go back to take a bath and rest soon.
Really tired and hungry.
Gu Celadon wanted to talk to Liu Shuyue, so she got into her carriage and let her carriage follow.
As soon as he came up, he asked: "Why did you call those two? How could they agree?
Gu Celadon really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't expect this to be the case today.
Wu Yao let them practice for half a day. At first, Gu Celadon really thought he was here for fun, and wondered if Cuju was so formal and serious?
Tired and tight, she almost didn't pick her up.
Liu Shuyue was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Gu Celadon for a few times before hesitating and said, "Don't you know?"
Gu Celadon was even more at a loss, with a look of doubts, "I know what, don't sell it, let's say it!"
Liu Shuyue believed that she really didn't know, so she leaned close to her ear and muttered a good deal.
"So, it's because Yan people come to congratulate us in a few months. The princesses of their country want to compete with us in the Cuju game?" Gu Celadon opened his mouth and finally said a word.
Liu Shuyue hurriedly let out a long "hush--" and said, "Be quiet, it's not very loud. Think about it, who doesn't know how many years we haven't played Cuju, even women, Yan Guo How can I not know, so they have to propose to play with us. Isn't this intentional? But the princess is a daughter's family again. If the Lord refuses to say this, it will be a joke. Can you be happy? What’s even more difficult is that we don’t have a daughter here who knows Cuju. This is to retreat without a fight... Therefore, we can only find someone to practice from now on. I heard that the queen announced that Yu and the princess of the palace would enter. Gong, I guess this is to let her daughter set an example."
The emperor cannot directly issue an imperial decree to all the ladies of the noble officials and ministers to learn Cuju.
This matter can only be dealt with by the inner house. It has to be said that Dehou Mansion has made a correct decision. When others have not reacted, he first went forward through the old concubine behind the queen, but it was really timely. The itchy place of the emperor.
Gu Celadon was surprised when he heard it, and only felt that the first half of the sentence had not been digested, and the second half came again.
Liu Shuyue continued: "I thought you knew it. Otherwise, why would you suddenly invite me to play Cuju? I didn't know until a few days later." If it weren't for this, I'm afraid her mother wouldn't let her learn Cuju. of.
Gu Celadon couldn't explain it in a word, and said, "I know what, it was all mentioned by Xiang Gong on a whim."
Liu Shuyue looked suspicious, is there such a coincidence? She thought Gu Celadon got the news from the mansion. However, after thinking about it, Li Cheng couldn't know, he didn't go to court, how did he know.
"Then we are going to keep practicing?" Gu Qingci asked.
What was originally thought to be a recreational activity, suddenly became a solemn game interest, Gu Celadon couldn't help but stunned.
Liu Shuyue nodded, "I think he will be named after the Queen soon."
It's okay if you can't stand up at the beginning, but since it started, you regret it again. I'm afraid it will be disliked by the nobles.
After a while, Gu Celadon said suddenly: "I said how Cenxi talked so well today, her mouth was the most poisonous before."
Liu Shuyue laughed as soon as she heard it, "Let her hear that she must scold you. If you say you can't win, she shouldn't be arrogant."
After thinking about it, I don't think there is anything. Even if I want to play against Yan Guoren, there is nothing to fear.
Two days later, the batch of custom-made Cuju uniforms were ready and sent over. Gu Celadon quickly put them on for a try, and then took out three more sets for the maid to send to Liu Shuyue, Cenxi, He Luoyan.
After that, they practiced Cuju every other day. It wasn't that Wu Yao was tolerant to them, but just gave them time to adapt. There are only four people at the moment, and the number of people is not enough.
Gu Celadon was too busy to think about Li Chengze. On this day, she was lying on the soft couch and asked Yuzhu to knock her back and pinch her shoulders. Grandma Zhang came in and said with joy: "Grandma, get up, grandpa is back!" "
Gu Celadon jumped, sat up, quickly counted with his fingers, and suddenly raised his voice, "Oh! It's been half a month!"
So he quickly got up from the couch and walked out, "Where is the man?"
Yuzhu held on, helping her to put on her coat.
Grandma Zhang replied, "I'm with the old lady in the east courtyard, I think she will be here soon."
Gu Celadon put on his clothes and shoes, went out of the house, and walked to the second door, and ran into the opposite face with Li Cheng who had just arrived.
When Gu Celadon was happy, he rushed forward and shouted excitedly: "Xiang Gong, you are back!"
Li Cheng was hit by her full of arms, hugged him quickly, and smiled lightly: "Well, I'm back."
The two maids smiled at the corners of their mouths, and each evaded and retreated.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that his family was more "extraordinarily bold".
In the boudoir, he was rarely restrained by his mother, and now he is even less likely to scold him.
The actions became more sincere and naive.
The two of them talked and walked into the yard. Gu Celadon couldn't help but talk to Li Chengze about himself and about practicing Cuju.
He even pulled Li Chengze down and told him that they would play a Cuju game with the princess of Yan Guo in a few months!
Li Cheng was taken aback. He didn't tell her before that she didn't want her to think too much and put pressure on her heart. She didn't expect she would know it so soon.
As soon as his mind turned, he said: "Liu Shuyue told you?"
Gu Celadon nodded.
Li Cheng thinks that she has a very good mentality, and there is no worry or worry on her face.
Secretly said that he underestimated her, Gu Celadon's heart was bigger than he thought.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Master Hou told me something before, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid of thinking."
Who knows that Gu Celadon's main point was, "Uncle? Uncle actually asked you to talk about this."
In Gu Qingci's eyes, the impression of the elder is serious, and she rarely sees it at home.
With the identity of the Li family, it’s not weird that the old master asked Li Chengze to meet him.
It's a pity that Gu Celadon can't think about it in the depths, otherwise he might be able to guess that the old man used her as a raft to benefit.
Without entangled in this point, Gu Celadon said something else: "Princess Tai'an posted me a post two days ago, saying that she knew that some of us were learning Cuju, and she happened to be interested in it, so she was going to invite us together."
"Princess Tai'an? Which one is from?" Li Cheng asked.
"Yuhe Palace."
Li Cheng nodded. Normally, if you want to form a female Cuju player, it is best to have a distinguished clan come forward.
"Go, no one will embarrass you."
Li Chengze's words are true. The emperor is worried that the Cuju team is too small to organize, and finally an activist like Gu Celadon joins. Whoever wants to pick things up without a wink is because he is unnamed in front of the Sheng Shang court death?
Gu Celadon sighed, "Who dares to embarrass me."
Two days later, Gu Celadon and Liu Shuyue went to Yuhe Wangfu.
Princess Tai'an was really kind to them, and no one mocked Gu Celadon's previous things.
There is a large area behind Yuhe Palace, which is now completely made into a Cuju field.
This is much better than renting a venue in the suburbs of Beijing.
A few people knew it well, thinking it was an instruction from the palace, and they would be able to practice here in the future.
Not long after, Princess Tai'an introduced them to several other people, most of whom were familiar with them, only one or two were fresh faces.
Gu Celadon brought a Wu Yao over, but he didn't expect that there would also be a master at the palace.
It just so happens that they don't understand anything, so I can't teach them alone.
Princess Tai'an has no opinion.
Reluctantly, there were twelve people.
...
Just after this, there was a sudden gust of wind in the capital, and a rumors spread. It is said that Tai'an princess likes Cuju, and many young ladies have joined the princess Cuju team.
In Gu Mansion, Gu Qingwan had also heard about it. She also knew that Gu Celadon was in it. She also heard that the princess gave them all the royal offerings that day.
Gu Qingwan was jealous and not angry, she cried in front of Aunt Zhou, "She has such a humble status now, where is the face to play with the princess, and why! Mother, please go to the princess, let me go to the princess too. Let's play."
Aunt Zhou did not agree. She knew that her daughter was spoiled at home, but who the princess was and what status was the princess, she wouldn't be able to reason if she was bullied.
So he comforted: "That Cuju is not something good girls play with. It's rude and dirty. Most men don't like it. I think it's because of the princess's whim."
But Gu Qingwan couldn't listen to a word. Aunt Zhou refused to say anything, so she went to see the second master by herself, and after a long time coquettishly, she finally got the second master's consent.
Who is the second master? Normally, he neither went to court nor cared about current affairs. Naturally, his eyes were blackened, and I don't know why this cuju style was in Beijing.
After responding especially easily, the next day, he ordered his long follower to Li's house to invite Gu Celadon back.
