Chapter 12: Blank!
Only Gu Ming, she seemed to be still there pondering her newly acquired bracelet, but in fact, there was a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Luck? Luck is really ethereal, and the advice of the eldest aunt can't be said to be bad, but there is too much room for manipulation, right?
"Since everyone agrees, let's play a little game and test everyone's luck...... It doesn't matter who wins or loses, I hope this is the end of the matter, and there is no more right and wrong. Yao Zhengse announced.
Zhao interjected: "For such an important matter, how can we ask a few women to preside over it?" It's better to call the three brothers over, and it can be regarded as a notary. ”
Yao's face was a little embarrassed, but she knew that if she didn't agree today, Zhao would have the ability to ruin this matter. After thinking about it with anger, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and asked a few of his girls to find someone to inform the three brothers of the Gu family.
The three brothers usually have no livelihood on the side, and they all live by guarding some fields and shops left by their ancestors. So if you don't happen to be social, you're generally at home. Today too, so as soon as the news of a few girls was sent, it didn't take long for Gu Wang to arrive.
Gu Wangcai sat down, the cup of tea had not yet been drunk, and Gu Teng and Gu Sheng had also arrived.
"Third brother, you are really not embarrassed, you invited such a big thing as Zhang Tianshi, and you didn't even notify me to talk to the second child." Gu Boss Gu Teng said with a smile. But it's not true~one~this~read~ the blame of the novel ybdu, in front of Gu Sheng, this bit of face still has to be left for his younger brother. It's just a knock on him, lest he take his own big brother too seriously.
Looking at the sweat on his head, he quickly explained: "Big brother...... Originally, I didn't expect that Zhang Tianshi would be able to agree, and Tianshi had an explanation, so I didn't dare to trouble him too much...... My brother didn't do things properly, and he was really ashamed......"
"Okay, okay, nothing remarkable. We are all saints and disciples, and we should not indulge in this way in the first place. Before Gu Sheng had time to express his attitude, Gu Teng made up his mind directly, and Gu Sheng's words were choked back into his stomach when he reached his throat, and his face suddenly became gloomy and extremely ugly.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao's side, and saw that Zhao nodded slightly at him, his expression was stable, and then he was relieved.
Gu Teng's small actions all fell into Gu Ming's eyes. She smiled coldly in her heart, and sure enough, the three Gu brothers were still fighting endlessly in the open and in the dark as she remembered.
"Want to see who's luckier? You're coming up with ideas again! Over there, after Gu Teng knew what was going on, he scolded the Cao family with a smile, but this was just for the second child to see, indicating that there was no collusion between them. It's just that the second child will believe it or not, then he doesn't have to care. Just a gesture, believe it or not, whatever he wants.
Gu Sheng just sat quietly, didn't move, didn't say anything, just sat like this. This made Gu Teng and Gu Wang very stressed. Gu Teng had no choice, so he handed his younger brother a look, Gu Wang coughed lightly, and asked the Yao family to preside, a few of them, just sit on the side and watch.
With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Yao stood up generously and announced the arrangements for this event. Looking at this bearing, she really has the aura of the daughter-in-law of a generation of scholars. Gu Wang sat on the side, smiled and nodded.
"Ma'am, things are ready." Agarwood came over with a small open blue vase and sent it to Yao. Yao smiled and announced to everyone present: "If you want to talk about luck, the easiest and most convenient way that will not cause controversy is to 'guess the coin'." Let's play more simply, there are now six notes, five of which are blank, and only one has words written on it. Now fold all six of them and place them in this little vase. Then each of you comes up and draws once, and the one who wins in the end is the luckiest. Is there any objection to this approach? ”
It's easy and fun, it's all up to your luck, and naturally no one has any opinions. By Yao's side, Cao had already put down his pen and asked everyone to come forward to meet the six sheets.
When everyone had seen it and sat down, Sandalwood stepped forward and folded all six slips of paper and placed them in the open vase of blue and white flowers. After loading, in order to avoid suspicion, the vase was replaced with a wooden incense, and the sandalwood returned to Yao's back and stood.
Among the Gu Mansion girls present, except for Gu Ming, who was relatively calm, the rest of them were eager to try, and some of them even folded their hands and asked for God's blessing to let them receive the note with words written on it.
Gu Yu was the most active, Yao Shi just announced the start, she hurriedly ran to Agarwood in small steps, reached into the vase, and touched it for a long time before finally touching a note and coming out. As soon as she took it out, she opened the note very nervously......
Blank!
She threw the note to the ground in hatred and stepped on it a few times before twisting her waist and walking.
Then came Gu Yin. Although Gu Yin had Aunt Dong always instructed her not to intervene in this matter, she still couldn't control her heart. But when I got the note in my hand and took it out, it was still empty!
Seeing that the two sisters did not win the lottery, the remaining few people were surprised and delighted. What surprised me was that it was not easy to draw a special one out of the six slips of paper, but now it was my turn to have the opportunity.
Gu Ming only walked a few steps, but she didn't expect that Gu Ming, who was originally standing behind her, rushed out from behind her in two steps, but overtook her and came to Agarwood first.
"I'll touch one too." Gu Ming smiled and said to Agarwood, stretched out her hand to the bottle and touched a note to come out, but she didn't open it, but retreated.
Gu Miao was preempted by her, and her face couldn't help but show a trace of hatred.
When Gu Ming retreated, she also hurriedly stepped forward and took out a note. It's just that the thing she had high hopes for, opened, is still empty.
Gu Rui and Gu Qiao were the last to step forward and touched the last two notes in the bottle.
Gu Rui wanted to open the note to read, but was stopped by Yao. Yao Shi looked at Gu Ming with a pleasant face, and said to her in an unusually gentle tone: "Fourteen Niang, why don't you open the note you just drew for everyone to see?" ”
Only then did everyone remember that Gu Ming had taken out the note just now and went down directly, without opening it to see. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Gu Ming.
"Mother, do you mean me?" Gu Ming looked up at Yao in surprise and said in disbelief, "My daughter has always had bad luck, so she threw away the note when she drew her hand just now...... Mother, it doesn't matter if I open it or not, the one with the words must be in the hands of the tenth or fifteenth sister. ”
Yao's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at.
Yao's performance is like this, what else does the people present not understand? Even a few aunts and ladies who were still sad and annoyed now reacted and understood what was going on.
