"You still know that you can't be outdone. Look at what you're like outside. You idle around every day. Now that you have something to do, it's not bad."
Madam Cheng snorted softly and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Actually, when she heard about the basketball game, she really hoped that Old Cheng would participate. Firstly, it would give this guy something to do so that he wouldn't idle around all day. Secondly, it would make the Cheng family's reputation famous again. Na Cheng thought that this guy would volunteer. This was a good thing.
"Madam, look at what you're saying. How could I idle around?"
Old Cheng handed the tea delivered by the maidservant to his madam and smiled.
"Do you know that yourself?"
Madam Cheng didn't take the tea. She just glanced at Old Cheng and turned to walk into the inner courtyard. As she spoke, a voice sounded, "I hope you won't embarrass your Cheng family this time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Cheng disappeared.
"Madam, you must be joking. I'll definitely get first place."
Old Cheng waved his hand and promised.
After saying that, Old Cheng leaned against the door and took a look. After making sure that she had left, he heaved a sigh of relief.
A moment later, Cheng Er led all the servants and maidservants to the front yard. There were 20 servants and 15 maidservants. There were a total of 35 people.
"Master, the servants and maidservants have all been brought here."
Cheng Er endured the sharp pain in his butt and bowed.
Old Cheng tidied up the resentment from being bullied by his madam and nodded at Cheng Er. With his hands behind his back, he walked in front of everyone and scanned them one by one. Many of the servants were soldiers who had come down from the battlefield. They had followed him before and could be considered to have some friendship. The maidservants were hired.
"You, you, and you, come out."
Old Cheng reached out and pointed at a few servants, indicating for them to step out.
The few people who were pointed at were confused, but in order to avoid injury, they still stood out.
They were all the strongest in the Cheng family. Such people had good physical fitness and would be good at playing basketball. Even if they didn't know how to play, he could teach them himself. These problems didn't exist.
"Leave behind three maidservants who are in good health. The rest of you are dismissed. Go do whatever you need to do."
Old Cheng waved his hand at everyone and dismissed them.
After everyone was dismissed, Old Cheng looked at the few people left behind and smiled. "You all know basketball, right? Who knows how to play? "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's face lit up.
It turned out that Old Master had kept them here for basketball.
They used to be soldiers. Although they were now servants in the Cheng Mansion, they would still do some activities.
Previously, when he heard that basketball was released, all of them left the Cheng Mansion and went to play basketball without eating. They could be considered experts. If they didn't know how to play basketball, they would be mocked.
"Master, I can play basketball, and I can shoot three-pointers."
"Come on, have you ever made a three-point shot like that?"
"Master, I can do it too. One against two is no problem."
"…"
Everyone was talking at once, and Cheng Yaojin felt like his head was about to explode.
"Shut up, Lao Tzu."
Old Cheng shouted, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
Then, Old Cheng glanced at everyone. "I don't care if you knew how to play Lao Tzu in the past, but you have to know how to play now. Now, White Deer College is going to hold a basketball game. You will participate with Lao Tzu. From today onwards, everyone is only allowed to sleep for six hours a day. You have to train the rest of the time. Can you do it?"
When everyone first heard that Old Cheng was going to hold a basketball game at White Deer College, they almost shouted because they all knew what kind of existence White Deer College was. Although they had never been there, they had heard of it. It was a signboard that the Emperor had personally appointed.
If they played a game there, wouldn't they be full of imperial aura? They would even have the right to brag in the future.
However, after hearing the last part, everyone's excitement was extinguished by Old Cheng.
They were only allowed to sleep for six hours a day. Damn it, even the military camp wasn't so strict.
However, when they thought about being able to play basketball at White Deer College, everyone felt relieved. Their eyes were red as they shouted in unison.
"We can do it. We'll get first place."
"We'll get first place, we'll get first place."
Old Cheng glanced at everyone and couldn't help but nod.
These guys really didn't disappoint him.
"Then why are you still staying here? Hurry up and go train. The maidservants, prepare tea. "
Old Cheng glared at everyone and shouted.
There was nothing he could do. If he spoke to these guys properly, they wouldn't listen.
"Yes, Master."
Everyone responded one after another and dispersed.
There was basketball in the Cheng residence. Old Cheng would play a little when he had nothing to do, and the servants could also play.
Looking at the servants training, Old Cheng's hands also itched, and he subconsciously joined in.
Of course, Old Cheng wasn't the only one training. Yuchi Gong wasn't willing to fall behind. After he returned home, he immediately went to the military camp.
Since they were going to play basketball, they naturally had to choose the strongest people, and these people were in the military camp.
Yuchi Gong looked at the rows of people in military uniforms in front of him and shouted, "Let me tell everyone a piece of good news. White Deer College is preparing to hold a basketball game …"
Halfway through his sentence, everyone's expressions changed from solemn to pleasant surprise.
