Chapter 336: Training

The lady nodded, full of joy, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, we are dedicated to waiting for the day when the results are released. I will also explain to Liu Wen to teach him to buy some things for the purpose of a banquet. There has been no festive things in the Duke's Mansion for a long time. This time, with the help of Chen Ao, we must be lively and lively."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my aunt."

The lady said again: "This morning, Mrs. Shi came here and said that you cured some flowers for Princess Jin, right? Princess Jin was very happy, but..." The lady's face tightened and she whispered: "I heard that Princess Jin has a weird temper and is awesome, so be careful."

Chen Ao was so amused that he said to his wife silently in his heart: "Your nephew has fallen into the trap of King Jin, what else can I be careful about?"

After talking for a while, the lady smelled the smell of alcohol from Chen Ao's mouth, and asked Chen Ao if she had been drinking with someone. Chen Ao was about to answer that the lady wanted to teach Chen Ao to study hard and drink less, but she also thought that Chen Ao had just had a palace examination and it was natural to find a few friends to drink, so she hurriedly said, "It's good to drink some wine. You are tired, go take a shower first and have a good rest."

Chen Ao responded and said goodbye to his wife. Then he saw Zhou Heng blinking at him with a farewell look on his face. Chen Ao was the most familiar with this expression. This young master Zhou planned to run away from home and take refuge. As for Zhou Ruo, he looked like he was drinking tea seriously, as if he was intentionally avoiding Chen Ao's gaze.

After taking a shower, my whole body felt much more comfortable. I asked someone to take the green clothes and wash them off and put on a spring shirt. My hair was still a little wet, but today I was so tired that I couldn't even have time to dry them and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Ao came to the King of Jin's mansion. When he entered the door, someone came towards him. It was the King of Jin's only daughter, Zhao Ziheng. Before Zhao Ziheng could see the person clearly, he said angrily: "Who is running around early in the morning?" He raised his eyes and saw that it was Chen Ao, and suddenly smiled and said, "Chen Ao, I am about to go to the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Are you going?"

Chen Ao first answered her first question and said, "It was you who ran around in the early morning." Then he answered Zhao Ziheng's second question: "I have something to come to see King Jin and the princess today, I'm afraid I can't be with you."

Zhao Ziheng looked disappointed and pouted, saying, "I thought you were here to find me to play, so if you don't go, you won't go." Then he started to act a little, ignored Chen Ao, and jumped into the carriage parked in front of the door.

Chen Ao ignored Zhao Ziheng. Just as he was about to go in, Zhao Ziheng suddenly lifted the curtain from the carriage and shouted: "Hey, you are really heartless!" After that, he lowered the curtains and heard Zhao Ziheng urge the driver in the carriage: "Go quickly, go quickly..."

The carriage started slowly, but Zhao Ziheng seemed to be afraid that Chen Ao would come to pursue him for revenge.

Chen Ao shook his head. The little princess is too naive and romantic. She should be quite old. At least she is over fifteen years old. Could it be that the children of rich families are mature late? It's not right. Chen Ao smiled and scratched his head and thought to himself: "The little princess is still very mature, and she is almost mature."

Chen Ao had countless reverie in his heart, and it took a moment to get the true colors. He silently thought in his heart that emptiness is color, and color is emptiness. He eliminated the ripples in his heart and walked in without having to inform King Jin and headed straight to Cuju Field.

When I saw the outline of the Cuju field from afar, I got closer and found that the Jukes were divided into two teams in training in the early morning. When Teacher Wu saw Chen Aolai, his eyes were full of contempt. He deliberately came to say hello and continued to greet Jukes in the same team.

Fan Zhiyi, Li Tie, Wang Yong and others all surrounded him, and Fan Zhiyi said, "Young Master Chen came early."

Chen Ao today is different from yesterday, and he whispered loudly with a stern face: "Call me coach Chen."

Fan Zhiyi and others looked at each other, why is Mr. Chen so different today from yesterday? Yesterday he called himself a student modestly and called himself a brother whenever he met everyone, but today he called himself a coach. This person changed his face too quickly!

Don’t look at Chen Ao’s usual laughter, but when he becomes serious, he has some power. Fan Zhiyi and others immediately stopped greetings and hurriedly said, “Teacher Chen.”

Chen Ao nodded slightly and continued to say with a stern face: "From now on, I will practice it. No one is allowed to disobey anything from this coach. Now, put down your balls, listen to my orders, and go to Lingyin Temple for a walk first."

Lingyin Temple? Fan Zhiyi and others looked at each other. Lingyin Temple was twenty miles away from Bianjing, and one round trip was forty miles. What kind of training method is this?

It should be noted that Ju Ke practices Cuju, and most of them practice skills. Whoever has the best football skills will have the advantage in the game. This young master Chen is ridiculous enough, so how can he have to run long distances in Ju Ke?

Seeing that Fan Zhiyi and others were indifferent, Chen Ao said calmly: "Whoever arrives first, this coach will reward you Yiguan, but if someone falls at the end of the team, hehe..." He smiled sinisterly: "I will fine Yiguan and deduct it from my master's reward."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fan Zhiyi and others said nothing, and rushed to run quickly.

"Hey... what should I do so quickly!" Chen Ao fell behind and had to chase after him. The middle of the way he found a servant in the palace and borrowed horses from him. The servant knew that Chen Ao was the newly hired coach and was very polite to him. It should be noted that the King of Jin loved Cuju the most, so the Jukes' status in the mansion was quite transcendent. At least for these servants, the identity of Cuju coach was amazing. Therefore, he led Chen Ao to the horse house and asked Chen Ao to pick a horse.

Chen Ao rode his horse and leisurely went to Lingyin Temple outside the city. It was not until halfway through that he caught up with Ju Ke, who was out of breath, and smiled at Li Tiedao who was at the end of the team: "Li Ju Ke, come on."

When these Ju Ke started running like the wind, they ran too hard at the beginning, so that they could no longer breathe when they were halfway through. Especially Li Tie, who was staggeringly trying to rest on the trunk of a big tree on the side of the road. Seeing Chen Ao riding over, he remembered Chen Ao's words of reward and punishment, gritted his teeth and accumulated strength to continue chasing.

Six Jukes chased each other, and they were all exhausted. When they arrived at the gate of Lingyin Temple, their legs were trembling and they almost fell to the ground.

Chen Ao went to tie the horse first and asked the novice monk who guarded the mountain gate to take care of him. He said to Fan Zhiyi and others who could not afford to fall, "Who is the first to go up these ladders, I will always give you money."

This sentence was expressed, and several people stood up panting again, climbed up the steps with their hands and feet. Under sweating, some people even took off their short jackets.

Chen Ao went up the mountain gate first and happened to run into Shi Xiaohu. When Shi Xiaohu saw Chen Ao, he said in surprise: "Oh, why is Mr. Chen coming today?" He ran excitedly with a big broom to report Dingkong and Dingjing.

Fan Zhiyi and others finally climbed the mountain, and were already exhausted and panting. Chen Ao said, "Okay, take a break first, and I will run back to the city later. I will teach you how to pour tea for you." He smiled very badly, at least in front of Fan Zhiyi and others.

Kong Ding and Kong Jing welcomed Chen Ao and Ju Ke into the tea room and took out some tea and entertainment. Kong Ding's complexion looked very bad. He called Chen Ao aside and said, "Mr. Chen is said to want to take Xiaohu in?"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Xiaohu is a very smart person. It's a pity to let him go back to farm, so I plan to take him to Bianjing to find something."

Kong Ding sighed and said, "I watched Xiaohu grow up. Now that my fate with him has ended, I shouldn't have thought too much, but... Alas!" As he said that, he lowered his head and shed tears, looking quite reluctant to leave.

Chen Ao let him cry for a while before he said, "Master, don't worry, the students will definitely take good care of Xiaohu."

Kong Ding nodded and said, "It's no problem to have Mr. Chen take care of him. It's better to have a day off than to choose a day. You can take him down the mountain today. I'll teach him to pack up some clothes for changing."

Chen Ao nodded and sat back on the teahouse. Fan Zhiyi and others were so tired that they were sweating profusely. When they sat in the teahouse, they were so comfortable that they didn't want to get up again. After drinking a sip of tea, their complexion gradually improved a lot. Fan Zhiyi said: "Mr. Chen... coach, can you practice Cuju well in this long-distance running?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "No matter how much I say, it's useless. Listen to me and wait until the game will see the real sign with Teacher Wu."

There is naturally a reason why Chen Ao chose long-distance running training. These Jukes were actually trained by Teacher Wu, and their skills should be comparable. Therefore, if you teach them to exercise their skills within ten days, there will not be much room for improvement. Instead of doing so, it is not better to just start from their weaknesses and exercise their physical fitness.

Although Cuju has been developing for thousands of years, Cuju has appeared in the Han Dynasty, but most of the training methods are still mainly practiced football skills. Jukes are good at practicing football skills, but in terms of physical fitness, there is no targeted training. Chen Ao has secretly asked people about some Cuju games, and often many Cuju games. At the beginning, Jukes are full of energy and show their superb skills. However, as time goes by, the continuous confrontation caused Juke's physical strength to be lost, which often began to decline a lot in the second half. Some superb kicking methods can no longer be used due to physical overdrawing.

Chen Ao's method is very simple. He should make up for the loss. He took advantage of these ten days to replenish his physical fitness and let them have enough physical strength to deal with the second half of the game.

Seeing Chen Ao's confident look, Fan Zhiyi and others stopped talking. Although they didn't believe it, Chen Ao had promised that as long as they were willing to follow Chen Ao's horse, even if they lost the game ten days later, they could still get a prize. Most of these Jukes are from family backgrounds. Although they have a lot of income, they also have a lot of expenses. For the sake of this fifty coins, they gritted their teeth and couldn't breathe.

Kong Jing brought a few plates of pastries. Fan Zhiyi and Li Tie consumed a lot of energy. They didn't care about anything under the hungry wheel, and reached out to grab the pastries clean.

Chen Ao looked at the paintings on the wall leisurely, but stood under a painting to reveal his spirit. The painting style in front of him was strange. Although the author used ink and wash to paint, he used heavy colors in his paintings. It should be noted that heavy colors are strictly prohibited from being used in landscape paintings. Famous masters of all ages talked about the spirit, not the form. Although using heavy colors can make the paintings more vivid, they also lose the elegant spirit, which is a taboo for painters.

Kong Ding came over at some point and smiled and said, "Young Master Chen thought what's going on with this painting?"

Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "It's unique, but it's not worth mentioning."

With Chen Ao's strength, he naturally has the confidence to say these words.

Kong Ding's head slightly said: "Yes, the one who painted this painting was a noble man from Dali Kingdom. That day, he toured the temple and happened to see the picture of Mr. Chen's big belly Maitreya. This man was very surprised when he saw the master's painting, so he asked the old monk to go to Zhou's mansion to ask the master to have a long talk."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Yes, Zen Master Kong Ding did visit Zhou Mansion the last time, but unfortunately I was plagued by miscellaneous things at that time, so I had to politely decline this person's kindness."

Kong Ding nodded and said, "That's why this noble man was disappointed when he saw that Mr. Chen would not come, so he painted a painting of an old monk hanging in the tea room, saying that Mr. Chen would come, and asked the old monk to give advice to Mr. Chen on his behalf."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I dare not take it as a counselor, but the painting style of Dali Country is too realistic and very different from the style of the students. If a student dares to say something, his painting is worth most but not consistent."

Dingkong smiled and said, "This metaphor is quite interesting. So Mr. Chen thinks his paintings are worth a lot."

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "If you know the goods, even if you know the goods, you can only get thousands of coins. But if you don't know the goods, you're afraid you can't even sell the goods."
