Feng Niang followed Liu Sanjiu and hurriedly walked out of the hall, and saw that there were already many onlookers standing in front of the door, while Chen Xian moved a table of eight immortals and sat in the middle of the door, and there was a wooden box on the table that I didn't know what it contained.

Feng Niang looked at the two huge red signs behind Chen Xian, and saw a few big words on the left: "Great news!" ”

Under the large characters, it is written in slightly smaller handwriting: "Welcome the New Year, Huancailou in order to give back to the society, return to the majority of new and old customers, specially launched a seven-day Huancailou lottery." For only two taels of silver, you can participate in the daily unitary time lottery. ”

"The prizes are as follows: first prize, five hundred silver; Second Prize, Silver 200; Third prize, 100 taels of silver ......"

A large section of the bonus is introduced, and a line of attractive words is written: "The opportunity is not to be lost and will not come again, the number of lottery tickets is limited, make a fortune, and look at the present!" ”

Feng Niang only felt that her head was buzzing, and her eyes looked like the red sign on the right, but she saw that there were only four big words on the red card, "Award Announcement", and below was a table drawn with thin lines.

"Chen Xian, what are you doing!" She beckoned Liu Sanjiu to call Chen Xian aside, first glared at this guy viciously, and then asked: "Your prize is so rich, but each lottery ticket only sells two taels of silver!" Do you want to pay me off for this ring of mining? ”

Chen Xianyun smiled lightly, and did not refute, but just opened his mouth and asked: "Feng Niang, do you know how many lottery tickets I have issued?" ”

Feng Niang was stunned, and Chen Xian's train of thought was vaguely understood in her heart, so she asked, "How much?" ”

Chen Xian triumphantly gestured out two fingers.

"Two thousand?" Feng Niang subconsciously opened her mouth, but immediately saw Chen Xian shaking her head, and she was stunned: "Twenty thousand? ”

20,000 lottery tickets, if all of them are sold...... That's 40,000 taels of silver! It seems to be very profitable to operate this ring mining building by yourself, but after deducting personnel costs and material procurement, it is a good situation to save 1,000 taels of silver every year!

This Chen Xian was so whimsical that he wanted to use a few pieces of paper to exchange for the silver in other people's hands?

In fact, this is a little lonely and unheard of, a poem by the poet fairy Li Bai has "six games to compete for good luck, the gold plate is thrown ten thousand people open" is talking about the lottery, and then to the Yuan Dynasty Some temples will issue similar "wish tickets" during the festival, I don't know how to the Ming Dynasty, but very little.

Chen Xian saw that Feng Niang was deep in thought, so he raised his eyebrows and mysteriously lowered his voice: "In fact, the number of lottery tickets is unlimited...... If nothing else, I'll have to look at my ticket! ”

In Lu Xiaochai's small courtyard, the master and servant in the main house on the north side looked worried.

"Xiaoli, you said that Chen Lang's lottery ticket, can it be sold?" Lu Xiaochai crouched on the table, holding his cheeks with both hands, looking at the roof blankly, and asked casually.

Xiao Liang scratched his head, and there was some helplessness in his words: "Miss, how many times have you asked me!" ”

"Chen Gongzi is so smart, he will definitely be able to sell it!" Speaking of this, she snapped her fingers, hesitated for a while, and then said decisively: "According to the small fence, at least a hundred can be sold today!" ”

"Alas, the lottery will be drawn in a moment." Lu Xiaochai sat up straight, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples.

Xiao Li's eyes turned around, and suddenly he smiled strangely, and suggested: "Or, Xiao Li, go to the front to find a hat, Miss, you cover your face, let's take a look?" ”

"Go, go!" Lu Xiaochai urged.

In front of the attic, it was already full of people at this moment, and many guests who were originally going to enter the building to drink also stood still at this moment and looked up at the woman on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, new and old customers!" A charming woman, at this moment, is standing on the temporary high platform in front of the door, she holds a piece of paper in her hand, according to what is written on the paper, and reads in a crisp voice: "Soon it will be the time to witness the miracle!" ”

"Isn't this the red card Xianglan of Huancai Building? Why didn't she go to the private room to entertain guests today? ”

"What do you know, this is what kind of Rausch lottery is made by Huancailou, saying that it can make people rich overnight!"

"Got rich overnight?"

"Oh, it's written over there, see for yourself!"

Everyone in the audience is obviously full of interest in this unheard of lottery, and there is a lot of discussion at the moment.

Miss Xianglan cleared her throat and said, "Today is our first day of the lottery, and we will soon usher in the lucky winners who won the prize on the first day under the witness of everyone!" ”

"Good!" I don't know who started the audience first, and then everyone followed suit.

After Xianglan finished speaking, Xiao Er came out with a wooden box with a strange shape and placed it in front of the stage.

"This is a lottery box specially made by our Huancai Building, there are a number of wooden balls written from one to five in the box, shake the handle when the lottery is drawn, and the push board in the box will randomly launch a ball to ......."

"If these five numbers are the same as the numbers in your hand, congratulations on winning the first prize with 500 silver tattoos! If the four numbers are the same, you win the second prize......"

Chen Xian was hiding in the private room on the second floor, poking his head out and looking down.

Feng Niang's eyebrows tightened, she raised her eyes to look at Chen Xian's casual appearance, and asked unceremoniously: "Chen Xian, you only sold seventy lottery tickets today, if you win the first prize, wouldn't you be losing money?" Speaking of this, she was obviously a little worried, and frowned again and said: "The old lady is really crazy, she would do this Laoshzi lottery with you!" ”

"How can the odds be so high!" Chen Xian glanced back at the bustard mother who was obviously very nervous, and teased in his heart: I told you, you don't understand, even if you do, you won't use it, and you won't be able to use it......

He leaned over and looked down, and saw that there were far more than seventy people downstairs, so he turned his eyes to look at the moon in the distance, and whispered to himself: "Lottery players of the Ming Dynasty, please feel the happiness of being dominated by the dark box operation!" ”

Of the seventy lottery tickets that night, ten fifth-class prizes and three fourth-class prizes were drawn.

Although Feng Niang had been persuaded by Chen Xian with a series of numbers at noon, at this moment, after personally coming forward to redeem the prizes for these winners, she still rushed upstairs with a blue face.

She was furious and rushed to the private room on the second floor, grabbed Chen Xian, who was drinking tea, buttoned the latter's gown, and asked fiercely: "Two hundred and fifty taels of silver!" Today alone, I lost 110 taels! This is not counting Xiangyun's reward for not opening the door tonight! ”

"You really think I'm not doing charity!" She only felt extremely painful at the moment, this is white silver!

Chen Xian waved his hand casually, knocked off the hand that was holding his coat, and said indifferently: "I already knew that I would lose money today." ”

"What!" Feng Niangfeng's eyes widened for a moment, and she only hated herself in her heart, how could she listen to this kid's words, was it really because of that word that reminded her of that person?

According to this guy's statement, knowing that he lost money, this kid probably wants to bring down my Huancailou to retaliate against me for breaking up him and Xiaochai?

For a moment, she only felt that Chen Xian's hatred was no worse than that of the person who hurt her back then. I secretly made up my mind that I couldn't put out this Rausch lottery tomorrow no matter what!

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and called, "Someone! Give me this ......."

"Don't get excited." Chen Xian pinched the teacup, leaned back lazily, and said, "I'll make money tomorrow." ”

"Chen Xian!" Feng Niang gritted her teeth: "I will never believe in you kid again!" ”

Chen Xian shook his head with a wry smile, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms, and gently placed it on the table.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me." He raised his eyebrows, pointed to the thin piece of paper on the table, and said, "Well, this is the deed of my house in Bamboo Pole Lane, and the house in Sanjin is worth one thousand eight hundred taels now." ”

After saying this, Chen Xian's biggest property, the deed handed down by his ancestors, was casually pushed in front of Feng Niang like a piece of waste paper: "Bet on you, if you don't make money tomorrow, the house will be yours......"

Feng Niang subconsciously took the yellowed deed, and after carefully identifying whether it was a forgery, she raised her head and stared at Chen Xian in some surprise, and asked with a sigh of relief: "Are you so confident?" ”

"Because I understand the human heart." Chen Xian put down the teacup, turned around and walked out.
