Take the mall to Datang

"The style of the song is cheerful, and the meaning of the words is straightforward. Could it be that you made this song again?" Li Xiuning said with some doubts.

Yuan Shan nodded cheekily without blushing.

"I didn't expect you to be so proficient in melody. I was really surprised. The words are concise and to the point, and every sentence is full of hope. It is in the saying that we have caught up with the prosperous age and enjoy peace. I heard that you don't have a knight's salary yet. Why don't you take advantage of it?" The song is for my Tang Dynasty, and when I write a memorial, I need you to copy a score and submit it to the imperial court, and His Majesty will definitely reward you." Li Xiuning said.

Yuan Shan's face was full of black lines. If he wanted the music score, he wanted the music score, and he wanted to dedicate this song to the imperial court. Isn't it okay to find trouble for him? It’s just a song, and it expresses some expectations for the future life of Datang, and this style of music is still a bit different in Datang, I think it’s better to forget it.”

The current Yuan Shan can take out hundreds of taels of gold casually, and he still cares about the rewards from the court, especially since this year is the ninth year of Wude, he has to keep a low profile.

What kind of noble salary is not rare for him. After eight years of Wude's development, Yuanshan now has a super big man, and several industries with good income, a hundred carriages, two wives, and forty beauties. He doesn't care if there are more than 500 employees and more than 1000 taels of gold in deposits.

Li Xiuning didn't understand why Yuan Shan didn't like being an official in the court, that was the place where everyone wanted to go if they sharpened their heads.

While the two were being courteous, He Ye hurried in from outside and said, "Master, Craftsman Yang has already prepared the ice cart, and Madam is already waiting for Master at the horse farm."

"Okay, let's go now." Yuan Shan said to Li Xiuning: "Your Highness, we are going to play ice carts, why don't we go together."

"What is an ice cart?" Li Xiuning asked curiously.

"The ice cart is the ice cart, let's go to the ice cart." Yuan Shan said and led everyone to the racecourse, and more than 40 singers all wore thick cotton clothes and followed them out.

A group of people were singing and singing very special songs while walking. Li Xiuning heard that these songs were so good, I couldn't help but want to hum along, there must be something wrong with Yuan Shan Come out, how much ability does this person have.

When we came to the racecourse, a large piece of air was sprinkled with water, and now it was frozen, and the outermost part was surrounded by some soil, and now it was completely frozen.

At a glance, a lot of people have gathered at the racecourse, including the women workers and family members of Yuanjia Manor, people from the village, and even people from Silizhuang.

Li Xiuning came over and saw the excitement, and didn't know what Yuan Shan was going to do, so she asked, "What is it going to do?"

"Haha, this is the Marquis looking for some fun for the people in the village. Have you seen the five boats over there? There will be an ice boating competition soon. There will be prizes for the top three." Yuan Shan talking.

I saw Craftsman Yang and Tiejiang Lu running over, and heard Craftsman Yang say, "Master, twenty ice carts have been made, and the two of us have tried them just now and they are very useful."

Tiejiang Lu went on to say: "Ice monkeys have been made into three types, big, medium and small, and ten of each kind have been made, and the arena is also ready."

"Very well, let's go there now." Yuan Shan said.

As soon as Yuan Shan came over, all the people waiting here cheered for a while, stepped up to a higher stage, and immediately held a suggested iron horn and said: "Everyone, be quiet."

All of a sudden, the audience was silent, and a few children were thinking about sniffing the snot left behind, and they also stopped their movements at this time.

"Now Master Ben announces that the first ice rink sports meeting in Yuanjia Manor will begin." After Yuan Shan finished speaking, everyone cheered. They had heard that there was going to be a sports meeting before they came, and they didn't know what the sports meeting was about. Yes, but as long as you participate, you will be able to send things.

And this winter is very boring, almost everyone who has nothing to do to watch the excitement came here, even the people from Silizhuang and even some relatives, and some farmers from Sanlizhuang who heard the news and came to watch the excitement.

Chapter 125 Laughing Field

There were almost more than 1000 people, and the surrounding area was under martial law, because they saw soldiers wearing leather armor and holding weapons guarding around, and they didn't know what was going on, but they were just here to participate in the event and they were not afraid.

"Let me introduce the content of the competition first. The first sport is ice boating. Every five boats form a group. There are seven people on each boat. One of them is a drummer. For the racing competition, each group chooses No.1 to enter the next game. The competition requires a total of five groups of athletes, voluntary registration, as long as they enter the finals, there will be a finalist award, the bottom two will each have a set of cotton clothes, and the top three will not only have cotton clothes but also bonuses, and they will be awarded [-] guan, [-] guan, and [-] guan. Guan. The second sport is ice skating, men and women are not limited, and there will be candied haws as a gift after each lap, and the third sport is that the ice monkeys can get candied haws if they stay in the established circle for a certain period of time.” Yuan Shan After a while of introduction, the rules are very simple, and everyone can understand it.

But without exception, the most concerned thing is ice boating, because the top three have money to get, a hundred guan is not a small amount, even if there are seven people, each can get more than ten guan, all the men on the Zhuangzi are gearing up. , would like to participate.

The activity will start soon, and the grouping is very simple, all are on-site registration, as long as there are seven people, you can register.

Liu Lizheng was very inspired, and immediately organized it himself. The seven youngest and strongest boys in the village were the first to sign up, and then Zhang Lizheng of Silizhuang also organized seven people, but it was obvious that Liu Lizheng was not as well prepared as Liu Lizheng.

As for Sanlizhuang, there were exactly seven people who came to join in the fun, and they were brothers who were younger than 15 years old.

Soon more than 100 athletes in the five groups signed up. People from Wulizhuang and Silizhuang accounted for three groups. The other two groups were formed by servants from Yuanjia Manor. , Lu Tiejiang and others also participated.

Someone here has already pulled up the red line, and the ice boat is in place. This ice boat is actually an ordinary boat that has been modified. Two irons have been added to the bottom of the boat. It is polished so bright that it will slip on the ice.

Each boat is equipped with wooden pulp and iron nails are installed near the ice, so that it can be used with strength when paddling.

The players for the competition were all in place, and now there were a group of people standing far away, all watching the excitement. At this time, Yuan Shan also boarded an ice boat, and his task was to beat the drums and direct.

Li Xiuning was surprised to see this kind of competition, he didn't expect Yuan Shan to participate in this kind of competition in person, Dugu Ruolan, Du Qianyu and others in the audience were all watching, before it even started, Caiyi called out: "Cheer up, young master. "

The voice was very sweet, and there was a coquettish air, it was not puffing up, Yuan Shan felt numb all over his body when he heard it, and then a kind of singer, Dugu Ruolan, Qianyu, Heye, Xinyue, etc. A team of cooks all shouted out.

Yuan Shan's face was a bit dark, and the black thread was entangled all over his head. He thought that the aura that the Marquis wanted was not the limp one, but he was helpless that he could do nothing to the girls now.

At the start of the race, the small flag was lowered, and Yuanshan summoned up all his strength and began to beat the drums. Before he could draw five meters, the boat skidded and turned sideways, thinking that he was about to fall behind.

Yuan Shan was impatient, but then there was a burst of laughter from the audience. After looking around, he realized that it was not only his boat that was slipping, but all the ice boats around him were like this.

"Hahaha." Yuan Shan looked at the ice boat next to him who was circling vigorously, and burst out laughing immediately. His smile seemed to have infected everyone, and Yan Bei and others on the ice boat also started to laugh. stand up.

The circle was played by the strongest team organized by Wulizhuang Liu Lizheng. The old man even played the drums himself, but everyone used their own strength so the strength was uneven, and they spun directly on the ice.

This is because the ice surface and water paddling are completely different concepts. Yuan Shan was laughing, and everyone in the audience was amused.

Yuchi Baolin and the others were in charge of the guards, so they didn't know what to do. They didn't expect ice boating to be so difficult. When they saw their teacher's embarrassment, there were black lines on his face, and they were all holding back their laughter.

If they laughed and were discovered by Yuan Shan, they would definitely be miserable, but they couldn't control it after watching it for a while, because those ice boats were so funny, especially the ice boat team that was always spinning and advancing Most hilarious.

There are also fleets of fleets that sometimes lead the bow and sometimes lead the stern, which is extremely funny.

All the girls in the auditorium were still shouting words of encouragement, but they were already laughing together, and there was no intention of giving them encouragement at all.

Li Xiuning laughed uncontrollably on the side, and Ning Luo, who understands you, thought of the princess smiling in her heart after seeing it, and she hasn't seen the princess like this for many years.

Yuan Shan smiled for a while and immediately reorganized, and began to ask everyone to share their strength, and soon the ice boat moved again.

"Everyone should keep the same movement when paddling, wait for the wood paddles to stick to the ice and use force together, even force and don't try to be fast, first try to be steady." Yuan Shan shouted while beating the drum.

The first group of competitions was very noisy, but in the end Yuan Shan’s ice boat completed the race. Unfortunately, it was No.2 from the bottom. The bottom one was Liu Lizheng’s team. up.

Next is the competition of the remaining four groups, then the preliminaries, and then the finals. During the competition, various funny situations appeared. Two ice boats collided with each other, and then blocked the road, but finally It is to complete the game.

Just this first competition made the people in the auditorium laugh so hard that they gave out prizes. The top three in the group stage were all given a set of cotton-padded clothes. After the cotton-padded clothes were distributed, they were changed into dozens of sets. The clothes immediately warmed up the farmers.

Steward Zhou was announcing the winning teams, the No.3 team from Wulizhuang in the final, the No.2 team from Silizhuang, and the No.1 team from Sanlizhuang.

Sanlizhuang is a little farther away from the two Zhuangzi, but there are many people who know them, and some people are excited immediately.

"Second Uncle, why did you win? One hundred guan, one hundred guan." The youngest boy in Sanlizhuang exclaimed excitedly.

"Xiaoqiang, you won, you won." The group were excited.

Zhou Weiren is also persistently envious.

Ice carts and ice monkeys are completely entertainment, and soon some people eat candied haws. The whole ice rink is very lively, playing from noon to night.

Yuan Shan rowed a special two-person ice car, with a small seat in the front and a slightly taller action in the back, so this afternoon, everyone from Dugu Ruolan to the Palace Master of the Tang Dynasty, from the lotus leaf to the secretaries, was all overwhelmed by Yuan Shan. Played with it myself.

This afternoon, he was almost exhausted and collapsed, but he was completely immersed in excitement. Even his body was exhausted, but he couldn't stop his enthusiasm.
