Chapter 154: The Lucky One
"There's no hurry."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to get the award out, but Li Zhaotong was not in a hurry at all, he said to Zhu Houzhao with a smile:
"Your Highness, how can such a big thing as the lottery not be well publicized? If the publicity is not in place, how do people know that our Seven Star Lottery can really be five hundred taels of silver for two pennies? ”
"So you want to call the Globe and Mail people first?"
"Yes, go and call Li Tianya first, and let him prepare to interview the three winners of the first prize.
In addition, the lottery numbers and the number of winners in each future issue of Lucky Draw will also need to be published in the Globe and Mail to show our fairness, justice and openness. ”
"yes, I really need to interview those three lucky guys! Let others see their stories. ”
……
Zhang San is a tenant of a large family in Tianjin, and he is only in his twenties, but a person like him, in a few hundred years, at least looks like a middle-aged and elderly person in his 50s.
This is all caused by his hard work day and night, lack of food and clothing.
Does Zhang San want to change this current state of life? To be honest, he must have said that it was impossible, but there was still a trace of fantasy in his heart.
Yesterday, Zhang San fetched a load of firewood and ran more than ten miles to sell it in Triangle Lake, just to sell it for two more cents.
After selling this load of firewood, Zhang San was about to go back, but suddenly noticed that many people were crowded on the most lively Universal Avenue in the triangle.
As a result, from other people's mouths, I learned that these people are going to buy the Seven Star Lottery, he listened to the people next to him, the Seven Star Lottery is a sacred object blessed by the mana of the saint, it can bring good luck to the family, and more importantly, a lottery ticket only costs two pennies, there is a chance to win the grand prize of five hundred taels of silver!
Five hundred taels of silver!
Zhang San felt that his family of five had worked hard all his life, and the money he earned added up was less than a hundred taels of silver!
Otherwise, he Zhang San is twenty-eight years old, and he has not yet married a wife and had children, and his two elder brothers are also not young, and they have not married a wife and had children, the reason is that because of poverty, no mother-in-law is willing to marry into his Zhang family and accompany his family to endure hardships and hardships.
The temptation of five hundred taels of silver made Zhang San reluctant to leave, and in the end, after a battle between heaven and man, he decided to buy a bet, he thought, big deal, it is equivalent to running more than ten miles.
As for how to explain when I go back, I said that I encountered some trouble on the road today, and I delayed some time, so I just sold it in Tianjin.
After deciding, Zhang San moved to the front of the Seven Star Lottery betting station and proposed to the salesman of the betting station that he wanted to buy a lottery ticket.
At that time, the salesman of the Seven Star Lottery betting station asked Zhang San which numbers to buy, Zhang San in addition to counting some money, big characters do not read, the numbers do not recognize, naturally do not know what to do?
So, Zhang San held the idea of buying this lottery ticket home to increase the luck of the family, and asked the salesman to help him choose seven numbers casually.
The salesman was not impatient, after all, he was a member of the Sun and Moon God Sect, a person from the Sun and Moon God Sect, except for Zhu Houzhao and the named Li Zhaotong, none of them were not born in bitter haha, and this salesman was also born in bitter haha, so he was happy to help Zhang San choose a number of 7, 7, 1, 6, 4, 1, and 4.
Of course, this salesman was also chosen at random, and he didn't remember it, but Zhang San remembered.
Soon, the time was for the next day.
"Third child, did you go into the city today?"
Zhang San's eldest brother Zhang Yi was carrying a hoe and was about to go to work in the fields, when he saw Zhang Sanyou picking up a load of firewood and preparing to go out, Zhang Yi asked.
"Well, eldest brother, I see that the second brother didn't sell the firewood he made yesterday, so I'll take it and sell it first, so as not to get damp and sell it when I get it."
"Okay!"
Zhang Yi didn't ask much, he only felt that Zhang Sanqi was strange today, and he seemed to be hiding something.
To be precise, Zhang Yi has a feeling that Zhang San seems to have something on his mind since he came back yesterday evening.
However, there are a lot of things about Zhang Yi, so I didn't ask too much.
Because this third child is different from the second child, the third child is very honest and honest, and he will not cause trouble.
Unlike the second child, relying on the spoiling of his father, he has been very naughty since he was a child, and now, the family is so poor that he can't open the pot, this second child is also very lazy, unwilling to work, and now, nine times out of ten, he is following a group of fox friends and dog friends to do unsightly things.
The Zhang family is so poor that there are three older singles, and they are inseparable from Zhang Er.
Zhang San is honest and honest, and he will not take the initiative to cause trouble, and Zhang Er also has a two-point face on the road, so Zhang Yi is not worried about Zhang San's safety.
Therefore, Zhang Yi did not ask Zhang San what was on his mind.
……
Zhang San came to the triangle with a load of firewood, and sold it to a restaurant he was familiar with, and soon, Zhang San came to the Seven Star Lottery betting station with the Seven Star Lottery purchased yesterday.
Because Zhang San knows very well that by tomorrow morning at the latest, the winning numbers will be announced at the Seven Star Lottery betting station.
Although Zhang San knew that it was still early tomorrow morning, he still couldn't wait to run over, hoping that Seven Star Lottery Commercial Bank would announce the winning numbers as soon as possible.
In fact, there are many people who have the same mentality as Zhang San!
even includes the two uncles.
These two uncles, although they scolded the Seven Star Lottery in their mouths, but these two bastards are honest and honest, and the ones who buy the most Seven Star Lottery bets are these two guys who don't learn and don't know how to do it.
They thought that the winning rate of Seven Star Lottery would be very high, so they bought a lot of it, and wanted to make Seven Star Lottery lose money directly in one issue, and the two of them could get a lot of silver.
As for the Seven Star Lottery firm, dare not to pay?
The uncles of these two countries are really not worried about this, although the Seven Star Lottery Firm was made by the prince and Li Zhaotong, but the two of them are really going to win the prize, and the Seven Star Lottery Firm dares not to redeem the prize, and the two of them dare to sue the royal court.
At that time, the emperor would have no reason to protect the crown prince and Li Zhaotong.
"Brother, why don't we go and urge my nephew and Li Zhaotong to that dog thing, the two of us, a Hou Ye and an uncle, it's really a shame to wait for the two of them here for so long!"
Zhang Yanling and the others were a little impatient, and he began to make suggestions to Zhang Heling.
"I've sent someone to urge it, but it is estimated that it is useless, our nephew, and Li Zhaotong, the dog, generally don't take the two of us seriously."
"Alas, such a strange sister, I have been with Your Majesty for so many years, and the boy born is alive and well. Otherwise, why would we be here? When we went back to the capital, we should talk to my sister about this issue.
She only has Zhu Houzhao, which is very unsafe! After all, Zhu Houzhao, the demon king of the mixed world, is not worried, when something happens, the future of our Zhang family will be much bleaker. ”
Zhang Yanling complained.
"Indeed, it's time to talk to my sister when I go back."
Zhang Heling nodded,
"But don't talk about this now, our dog-forced nephew and Li Zhaotong's dog thing should be here, you look at the battle of the royal guard, in Tianjin, only these two dogs go out, can there be such a big battle."
