After the third day of competition, the list of 600 people who entered the knockout round came out.

Lin Yan announced: Wubi has a day off, and tomorrow everyone will hand in the answers to poems and intelligence questions, and the results of the competition will be announced on the spot.

When everyone was closing the stall, Ji Ling suddenly walked over, stretched out his hand to Ji Qiao in the shape of a fist, and said, "Brother, look at my hand." ”

Everyone thought that Ji Ling had something interesting in her hand, so they all looked at her hand.

Ji Qiao was a little inexplicable, let himself look at his hands, but he held it tightly, and said angrily: "You open it." ”

Ji Ling immediately opened his hand, but there was nothing in his hand.

Everyone is very strange, what the hell is going on?

Ji Qiao was also very curious, but seeing that Ji Ling's hands were whiter than before, there was more flesh, and there was also some blood, so he understood a little. Then he boasted, "The hands are indeed much whiter and tenderer!" ”

Who knew that Ji Ling glanced at him and said loudly: "Tender fart, I clenched my fists just now, which means that my hands are a little tight!" I open my hand because I want you to give me some money. ”

Everyone was amused by Ji Ling and couldn't help laughing.

Ji Qiao didn't understand very much, this kid had at least 100 yuan on him, so he gave 5 yuan to Fan Dan, and 20 yuan to himself, and returned it to him, how could he use this piece? What's more, he also knows that he has no money, why is he still looking for himself?

But Ji Qiao figured it out after a while, this kid was acting, and he deliberately told the people next to him to listen to it, wanting them to give money. At the same time, he thought of a joke on the Internet, and was ready to cooperate with Ji Ling, so he said to Lin Shi: "Miss, roll up your sleeves." ”

Lin Shi was very puzzled, what are you doing with your sleeves? He refused directly: "No, you want to take advantage of me." ”

But the princess was very cooperative and said, "I'll come." ”

So he immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing his snow-white arms.

Ji Qiao asked Ji Ling, "Do you know what this means?" ”

Everyone is a little confused, what does this mean?

Of course, Ji Ling was also very confused, so he had to ask back puzzledly: "What do you mean?" ”

Ji Qiao said loudly: "You didn't see it, there is no hair!" ”

Everyone was stunned! But he reacted immediately, Ji Qiao said that he didn't have any money.

So they couldn't laugh and covered their stomachs.

Lin Shi and the princess both laughed with tears in their eyes!

After Lin Shi finished laughing, she said angrily: "Your brother and sister are too boring!" ”

The princess was very domineering: "In the future, when I am not there, you two are not allowed to be so funny." ”

But then he said to Ji Ling: "I didn't bring any money today, I'll give you 5,000 tomorrow." ”

Dongfang Jiao said at this time: "That can make the princess break the bank, I will go back and give this money." ”

Ji Qiao also thought that the princess couldn't give this money, so she said: "Then Mrs. Dongfang will give it, and my salary will be deducted in the future." ”

Dongfeng Jiao replied indifferently: "You don't have to calculate it so clearly, last time I gave you ten taels for gold, and you changed hands to Shi'er again, so it can't be counted." This time give ten taels more. ”

Ji Qiao hurriedly said: "A child can't use so much. ”

Ji Ling was very polite: "Who said it can't be used, I still have to buy a lot of things." ”

Ji Qiao thought again: Ji Ling has suffered since he was a child, and now that his parents are away, he can't be too harsh on him, so he should be allowed to play more. So he made a concession: "Five taels at most." ”

"That's five taels." Ji Ling looked at Ji Qiao very unhappily.

......

After returning to Anbang Houfu, Steward Chen actually asked people to carry several large boxes of things, and said in a panic: "Master, madam, Qiao Gongzi, it's terrible, this bet is strange." ”

Dongfang Jiao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Steward Chen pointed to the box and said, "There are more than 3,000 taels of gold here, all of which were bet by others." Bet on the princess to win the most, and the princess bet on herself one hundred and fifty taels each in poetry and intelligence; and two princes, and a hundred taels on each of the princesses; The rest of the people bet more than two hundred taels each in the princess.

So the princess alone won 1,200 taels.

There are two other bets that are relatively large: Xuanwu Hou bet three hundred taels on Tian Yi; Gongzi Tian Wu bet four hundred taels on himself.

Other sporadic bets are all bets on their own people to win, although the bets are not much, but the total is more than 1,000 taels. ”

Everyone panicked a little after hearing this, these people can't afford to lose anyone who wins! Even if an ordinary person wins, if anyone bets more than 30 taels on him, he will lose 1 to 100, which is 3,000 taels!

Although Dongfang Jiao had seen Ji Qiao's writing, she was still very worried and asked, "Is Gongzi Qiao sure of victory?" ”

Ji Qiao smiled: "Don't worry, Mrs. Dongfang, even if I can't win, then the princess wins." Judging from the betting situation, it is clear that King Qi must have invited many people to help the princess, so everyone around the princess bet on her to win. But King Qi just wants to see our jokes, and if he can't afford to lose, he won't embarrass us. ”

After hearing Ji Qiao say this, everyone immediately felt a lot more relieved.

Ji Qiao said again: "Madam, son, miss, each of you provides some people with very potential in martial arts, and then comprehensively, I will hang up the odds of martial arts tomorrow." ”

The three of them nodded in agreement and immediately discussed.

......

After everyone was busy and dispersed, Lin Shi found Steward Chen alone and said, "I now vote for the princess ten taels of gold, five taels each for poetry and intelligence." ”

Steward Chen disagreed: "Madame won't let you vote." ”

Lin Shibu explained: "I'm not afraid that if the princess wins, the money will be lost. If I vote, you can compensate me first, and the rest will compensate others. So that we can keep some gold in our house. ”

Steward Chen felt that there was some truth, but he still reminded: "Qiao Gongzi's literary talent and intelligence are unmatched!" Even if the king asks someone to help the princess, I think that Gongzi Qiao has a better chance of winning. Miss has to think clearly, if you vote all, if you lose, it's all gone! ”

Lin Shi hesitated a little again, and after thinking about the meeting, he said: "Those two will throw five taels together, and if you win, you can also get back five hundred taels." ”

"Okay." Steward Chen nodded in agreement, thinking that this would be more secure.

......

On the morning of the fourth day, after everyone handed in the poems and answers to the puzzle questions.

The judges began to evaluate, first of all, the poems.

Unexpectedly, for the sake of fairness, the referee team actually read out the poems one by one, and the first poem was: "

The pond of the east gate can be soaked in hemp.

Bi Mei Shuji, can meet with the song.

The pool of the east gate can be soaked.

Bi Mei Shuji, can talk to each other.

The pond of the east gate can be soaked.

Bi Mei Shuji, can talk to you. ”

This is a masterpiece in the "Book of Songs", which roughly means: "

The pond water outside the east city gate can be soaked in hemp. A gentle and beautiful woman, meeting her and singing.

The water in the pond outside the east gate is soaked in a lot of hemp. A gentle and beautiful woman, talk to her and make peace.

The pond outside the east gate is soaked in soaking grass. A gentle and beautiful woman, it is so happy to talk to her. ”

Poetry is a good poem, but everyone knows that it is in the "Book of Songs", not their own originality.

So the referees shook their heads and eliminated the poem directly.

Ji Qiao thinks it's too troublesome, too wasteful of time, and I don't know what year and month I want to read? So he came to the stage and said:

"Judges, in order to save time, let's read my fu first, and the poetry project will definitely be the first. If there is a dissatisfaction and thinks that it can be exceeded, you can compare it with his poems. ”

All the referees are shaking their heads, thinking that Ji Qiao is blowing too much!

King Qi is also very disdainful, this kid is oily and smooth, it's okay to pat on the back, what good article can he write? still thinks so highly of himself, and doesn't take the lonely think tank in his eyes!

Tian Yi couldn't stand it even more, and said directly: "I'm afraid that Qiao Gongzi's writing is comparable to sycophancy, and I dare not agree." ”

As a result, there was immediately a burst of laughter from the audience.
