Chapter 356 Let Me Help You
"I have already remembered my second brother. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
At this time, Shen Li was learning the rules of Cuju with Shen Han and Shen Liang.
In Kyoto, Cuju is a very good sport. Almost everyone here, from royal nobles to ordinary people, can play Cuju.
Even children would play football together.
"Miss, Doctor Qin is here." Liu Xin led Qin Yu into the hall and said.
Shen Li saw the obvious anger on his face and knew why he came.
Shen Han and Shen Liang had already talked about her before, and she didn't want to hear him again now: "If you're here to talk about Cuju, please go back."
"Ali, talk nicely." After Shen Han finished speaking, he left with Shen Liang and Liu Xin.
Qin Yu walked up to Shen Li anxiously and said, "Ah Li, how could you agree to Huo Nanlian's bet so easily?"
"none of your business."
If he believed her, he should face it with her now instead of saying these useless words.
"Don't say those angry words. You know I'm worried about you. You don't even understand the rules of Cuju, let alone winning. Do you know how many Cuju masters there are in Kyoto? Let's talk about Gu Cheng'an. He is the most powerful Cuju master in Kyoto and has almost no rivals."
Shen Li looked at Qin Yu steadily: "You think I have no chance of winning, right?"
"I……"
"If that's the case, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me? Even if I lose, I won't get you into trouble. At worst, I won't come to Kyoto again."
Qin Yu shook his head: "No, A-li, do you think it will be that simple? If you leave Kyoto, it will be easy for Huo Nanlian to find a chance to deal with you. Only in Kyoto, under the feet of the emperor, will she be cautious. If you leave Kyoto, how dangerous it will be, do you know?"
Shen Li paused. It seemed that she had thought things were simple and underestimated Huo Nanlian's scheming. It turned out that she was waiting for her here.
It seems that she must try her best in the Cuju game and win, otherwise not only will her business not be able to continue, but even her life may be over at any time.
"I understand. I'll try my best."
"A-Li, why don't you choose another place to build your workshop? Don't go to the Cuju competition."
"Qin Yu, why can't you trust me? I gave in this time, can you guarantee that Huo Nanlian won't do it again? You should know what kind of person she is. Do you think she will let me go if I keep giving in?"
Qin Yu lowered his eyes, then raised them again after a while and looked at Shen Li: "I see, then let me help you, and Cuju needs a team, let me be your teammate."
"No need." Shen Li really didn't want to. Since he didn't trust her, what was the point of helping her?
"Ali, don't be willful."
"Qin Yu, don't bother me. I've told you many times not to meddle in my affairs. Don't you understand?" Shen Li was really annoyed now. She had too many things to do and really didn't have the energy to share it with him.
If he supported her and was of the same mind as her, then they could work together, but he was not like that. Sometimes, she had to be distracted to deal with him, which caused her trouble.
Qin Yu didn't say anything for a long time, just looking at Shen Li, with confusion and sadness in his eyes, which finally turned into determination.
"I promise you, as long as I help you win the game this time, I will not bother you again, and I promise not to say anything that distracts you. As long as you agree to let me help you, okay?"
Shen Li also knew that what she said might be a bit harsh, so she couldn't refuse in the end: "Okay, there is only one month left before the competition, how can you help me?"
Qin Yu didn't say anything extra and went straight to the point: "Do you know the rules of Cuju?"
"I just listened to my eldest brother and the others talking for a while, and I wrote it all down."
"Okay, then the next step is to choose teammates. We are short of four people besides us. Do you have any candidates?"
Shen Li shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."
In proper competitions, there are twelve people in a team, but in general, competitions between young men and women in Kyoto are small competitions with six people in a team.
"Well, this needs to be decided as soon as possible. We don't have much time. The tacit understanding between you and your teammates will also be developed through practice. I will practice with you first."
Next, Qin Yu and Shen Li started playing football in the yard. Since there were only two of them, she spent most of her time getting familiar with the rules. Qin Yu didn't say anything else, as if he had really become a coach, just teaching her how to play Cuju.
At night, Shen Li began to think about his teammates.
Now there are only her and Qin Yu, and she has no idea who the remaining four people are.
Because they were all children of officials and aristocratic families, guards, maids and servants were not allowed to be brought in to make up the numbers, but she didn't know anyone in Kyoto.
She thought about it and if it really didn't work, she let her eldest and second brothers do it.
In fact, if there were other people, she wouldn't want them to go up. After all, they learned Cuju only after coming to Kyoto, so their skills might not be that good.
There is also Guan Wenyi. I don’t know if he can play Cuju. He looks weak and frail, so it is very likely that he can’t.
Then there is Jin Duobao. I don’t know whether he can participate in such a competition given his identity.
The next day, Qin Yu came early and the two practiced for the whole morning.
"Do you have any ideas about your teammates?" Qin Yu asked.
Shen Li put down his chopsticks: "No, if not, let my eldest and second brothers do it."
"You know that the news of your acceptance of the bet has spread throughout Kyoto. No one is optimistic about you, so even if you ask someone to team up with you, no one is willing. They think this is a losing bet. Anyway, you will leave Kyoto in the future, so no one is afraid of offending you."
"There's one more thing you didn't mention, which is that no one dares to offend Huo Nanlian, and since it's a losing outcome, who likes to lose?"
"Yes, everyone is guessing how you offended the Prime Minister's wife, which led to this gambling situation."
Shen Li picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat lunch: "Yeah, I wondered too, how did I offend her?"
"sorry."
Shen Li stopped chewing his rice and said, "I don't blame you. You are now the Vice Prime Minister. She doesn't dare to do anything to you, so of course she will target the people around you. And last time, I blocked the arrow for you and caused her plan to fail. I guess she has been holding a grudge against me for a long time."
"It's me who has implicated you."
"There's no point in talking about this now."
"Yes, don't worry, I will do my best to help you win the game."
Shen Li believed him on this point: "Are you working for your father now?"
