Chapter 559: Playing Cuju
There were too many rumors, and the professor was not in the mood to teach, so everyone felt that the situation was a little serious.
Song Junhua said quietly: "Brother Sun, let's go ask Brother Geng what's going on?"
Song Junhua's eyes lit up and she looked very gossipy.
Sun Shan was in no mood at the moment, as it must be a big deal to be able to mobilize Duke Xu.
But big things often come with risks, just like a storm is coming.
Shaking his head, he said, "The news just came out today, so there's no rush to ask Brother Geng. Wait until he understands it clearly, then we can ask him."
The Brother Geng mentioned by Sun Shan and Song Junhua is Geng Yousheng, the nephew of President Geng. It would be most appropriate to ask him.
Song Junhua thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's ask again tomorrow. We will have more certain news tomorrow. Oh, I wonder how the court plans to change the taxes?"
Sun Shan didn't know either, but he still had to pay taxes no matter how the changes were made.
The prosperity of the people will be miserable, and the destruction of the people will be miserable.
After all the suffering, the ultimate pain is borne by the people.
Although Sun Shan barely squeezed into the group of “scholars” among the “scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans”, he always wanted to be the one who “betrayed his class”.
The students of the academy seemed to be in no mood. On normal days, the Cuju field would have been packed with people.
At this moment, there were only a few people kicking around.
A student saw Sun Shan passing by and shouted, "Brother, do you want to play?"
The guy in front of me is short and skinny, and is really not a good partner, but since there is no one else, I have to find him to take over.
It's rare that there are so few people here today, so if not now, when will we play football?
Sun Shan stopped and shouted, "Kick!"
Sun Shan and this student had the same idea.
He had the opportunity to play today because there were few people. If it were any other day, no one would call him to play football.
Ouch, he just passed by accidentally. Since some classmates asked him to join, he must join. He couldn't let down his classmates in the college.
Sun Shan put his things aside and decided not to go to the library. He preferred to play football to have fun.
I haven’t played Cuju since I left Guangzhou for Beijing to take the imperial examination last year.
While studying at Chongzheng Academy, he was even more afraid to play Cuju due to physical reasons.
When he felt a little better and wanted to play football, he looked back and found that the cuju field had already been occupied by others and there was no way he could squeeze in.
So at this moment, the opportunity is precious and we have to give it a try.
Sun Shan stretched his arms and legs, then followed the students from the academy into the playground.
People like them who studied in academies were all expected to know how to play Cuju.
Sun Shan could certainly kick, but he wasn't very good.
Sun Shan randomly joined one of the teams and started playing football, but ended up playing alone and just running along the way.
Few students would kick the Cuju to him. Even if the ball was kicked in front of him, Sun Shan would be looking for someone to catch it, but before he could find anyone, the opposing team would have already snatched the ball away from him.
Sun Shan was so angry that he didn't even try to kick the ball away and it disappeared.
He was so angry that he jumped up and down, wishing he could use both his hands and feet to throw the ball away.
However, Sun Shan was a principled man who believed rules were above everything else, so he could only watch helplessly as the opposing team snatched the ball and looked at him provocatively.
Sun Shan really wants to turn evil and use shady tactics to harm others.
But life is tiring for people with too high a sense of morality, so Sun Shan could only accept his fate and run after them to grab the ball.
As a result, after the game, the players were sweating all over, and Sun Shan was also sweating all over.
The players were discussing which ball was good and which ball was a mistake, so Sun Shan had to discuss when his ball was snatched away by others and he could not pass the ball to his teammates.
Everyone looked at Sun Shan in silence.
One of the teammates knew Sun Shan and shook his head and said, "Brother Sun, you should stop playing Cuju. Your skills..."
Sun Shan knew what he wanted to say without him saying it.
It's simply that his skills are too bad, and not only can he not assist the team, but he also drags the team down.
Everyone thought he could pass the ball through, and they waited anxiously for him to pass the ball. As a result, their necks became stiff, and Sun Shan still couldn't get rid of the enemy's entanglement.
What's more, the ball was snatched away by the opponent, and the teammates were very angry.
If I had known this result, I would have just run up and grabbed the ball myself, which would have been much better than waiting for Sun Shan to pass the ball to me.
Sun Shan pretended not to understand and said shamelessly: "Haha, I don't want to either. I don't play often."
In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t want to play more often, but that no one wants to play with him.
Whether in Zhangzhou Prefecture School or Yuelu Academy, Sun Shan was a member of the cheerleading team.
There are very few opportunities to play.
Even if he can play, it will be like today, when the team really can't find anyone else to play for him.
The teammates nodded in understanding and said, "We know that it's rare for Brother Sun to play Cuju, so it's normal that he can't play."
Everyone chatted and laughed, then looked at the time and thought it was time to go home, so they dispersed.
When Sun Shan walked out of the academy, Gui Ge'er came up to him, sniffed him and asked, "Brother Shan, why do you smell so sour? What did you do?"
Sun Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Today I have free time, so I played Cuju with my classmates. I am all stinking of sweat."
When Gui Geer heard that Sun Shan was actually going to play Cuju, he said anxiously, "Brother Shan, you are not well yet, you can't play Cuju. It's too intense. No."
Gui Ge'er was really anxious.
The patient should rest quietly and not do such strenuous movements.
Gui Ge'er cursed Chongzheng Academy, blaming it for not allowing him to enter. If it had been allowed, he would have definitely kept an eye on Sun Shan for twelve hours a day.
This way Sun Shan will have no chance to play football.
Sun Shan didn't want to discuss this issue with Gui Ge'er. Gui Ge'er was deeply influenced by the village chief, Sun Bomin, and was moving in the direction of the Huang and Su families.
Everyone kept a close eye on what Sun Shan did, fearing that something might happen to him.
If he noticed any of your movements that were a little too big, he would definitely start chattering like Tang Seng.
Sun Shan was given a headache by his nagging, so when faced with such a situation, he usually chose not to hear it.
Gui Ge'er kept persuading him, and Sun Shan responded with "hmm" and "oh".
Walking on the streets of Jinling, everything is normal and calm.
Sun Shan bought a few pastries, took one for himself, and gave the rest to Gui Ge'er.
Gui Ge'er took it with bright eyes, took a bite and said, "It's delicious, crispy and much better than the food made by Nan Ge."
When Sun Shan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
The four of them have clear division of labor.
Sun Shan was responsible for studying, Sun Dali was responsible for taking care of the flower garden, Gui Ge'er either took Sun Shan to school or was on the way to pick him up from school, and Sun Dingnan was the housekeeper and cook of the Sun family's house, responsible for three meals a day.
The food Sun Dingnan cooked was terrible, just enough to keep him from starving.
Sun Shan was better off. He bought breakfast on the street, ate at the academy at noon, bought snacks on the street at night, and then went home to eat a little bit of food prepared by the chef of Nanjing University.
Gui Ge'er and Sun Dali suffered a lot. Three meals a day were all taken care of by Sun Dingnan, and they complained bitterly.
Sun Shan suggested finding a cook since he had money.
Sun Dingnan, Sun Dali, and Gui Ge'er all opposed it. When traveling, every penny saved is a penny earned.
They are boys from the country and must always maintain the Sunjia Village virtue of diligence and thrift.
