Chapter 18: Unexpected
August 8, the third day of registration:
More people came, and more than 30 people paid the registration fee one after another.
Lin Shi went to serve them tea one by one, greeted them, smiled, and stayed for a while.
Of course, the three of them from yesterday came again, and they took the opportunity to say a few words to Lin Shi, and Lin Shi also replied politely.
August 9, the fourth day of registration:
More than fifty people came.
......
August 15, Day 10 of registration:
By the end of the night, the total number of applicants had reached 800.
However, many people have changed their names and reported again, and the most of them has reached ten times, that is, once a day. So the real number of applicants is estimated to be less than one-third.
In fact, the rich people in the entire Linzi City, including the ministers, have signed up or are preparing to sign up.
Everyone thinks: the registration fee is not expensive, what if you win!
Lin Qing and Lin Shi are especially happy now!
Lin Qingxi said: "Young Master Qiao, we are already sure to make a profit. There are still five days left in the registration time, and if this trend continues, there should be no problem with another 500 people. You can earn at least 100 taels of gold from this event! β
However, Lin Shi was very tired, in the past few days, he served tea hundreds of times a day, and the muscles on his face were stiff with laughter. said to Ji Qiao solemnly: "If you let others win this competition, I will have to kill you." β
......
Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, although Tian Yi didn't go out, he already knew that Lin Shi was engaged in a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, so he said very anxiously: "Dad, Lin Shi is actually engaging in a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, you have to stop it, he is my woman." β
Xuanwu Hou replied very calmly: "I already knew about this matter, and I also sent someone to inquire, and I learned that Lin Yan and his wife went out on the day you were beaten. It seems that the competition and the beating of you are all traps designed by them, and it is not easy to forcibly stop them now. If you look for Lin Shi's girl theory, she will not admit it, and I am still bored. β
"Then send troops." Tian Yi urged anxiously.
"What can you do if you send troops to arrest Lin Shi? Or surround the Anbang Marquis Mansion? This matter has long been known to the whole city, and with your bad reputation, sending troops will be discussed. β
Xuanwu Hou thought that this matter could only be resolved after Lin Yan came back, and even if the results of the martial arts competition came out, he did not agree, and it was not too late to use force.
Tian Yi was worried again: "It would be good if I had this leg for about ten days, or let someone register first." β
Xuanwu Hou immediately scolded angrily: "You stupid pig, if you go to sign up, isn't it equivalent to agreeing with Lin Shi's martial arts recruitment and denying the fact that she is your fiancΓ©e." β
Tian Yi thought it was right, so he looked at Xuanwu Hou very helplessly and asked, "How is that good?" β
Xuanwu Hou hated iron and steel, so he directly slapped him and scolded: "You fuck you, you will play the Qinglou woman, and your wife can't win." Lin Shi's girl can play yin, you won't? After her leg is healed, she won't bring people to trouble her, right? β
Tian Yi was a little unconvinced: "If you scold, scold, why do you also beat people?" β
Xuanwu Hou didn't bother to pay attention to him, and left very angrily.
......
August 16, Day 11 of Registration:
Due to the large number of people, there are only about 30 families in the Anbang Hou Mansion, and they can't be entertained. Ji Qiao had no choice but to come forward to help with the reception.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the flow of people subsided, and Ji Qiao counted the list, and there were more than two hundred people.
At this time, a group of more than a dozen people came, all riding high-headed horses.
After these people entered the hospital, they directly asked the entourage to pay the registration fee. Then a very well-dressed boy entered the living room.
Lin Shi went to serve tea again, and it was still the same standard process.
This son is also very happy to watch! Keep looking for topics to communicate with Lin Shi.
However, before leaving, he suddenly made a request to invite Lin Shi to the banquet.
Of course, Lin Shi refused to agree.
But the other party invited again and again, and he was polite and sincere!
Lin Shi was a little embarrassed.
Ji Qiao suddenly came in and said to Lin Shi: "Miss, why don't you hold a banquet in our house to entertain this son." β
Without waiting for Lin Shi to reply, Ji Qiao said to the son again: "It's almost dark now, and it is inconvenient for my young lady to go out. However, in order to prevent subsequent applicants from making this request, the banquet will charge 50,000 yuan. β
The boy nodded without hesitation and agreed: "So good!" 50,000 yuan is not expensive, even if you go to the city to hold a banquet, you will have to pay 10,000 yuan casually. β
Ji Qiao immediately smiled and said, "Childe is refreshing!" But my young lady has been busy for a day, so it is better to let her go and rest for a while, and then she will have a better spirit to entertain you. β
The other party hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." β
After Lin Shi came out, he kicked Ji Qiao's buttocks, but the strength was still controlled, and he scolded: "Why do you make the decision for me." β
Ji Qiao rubbed his buttocks and explained painfully: "I see that his words and deeds are by no means idle. What's more, if we charge 50,000 yuan and hold a banquet in our house, there will be no problems. β
Lin Shi still disagreed.
Ji Xing told the truth: "If I guess correctly, this person is the son of King Qi." β
Actually, Ji Qiao went to see the registration form just now, and his name was filled in: Wang Gongzi.
According to his clothes and conversation, plus the name he left, Ji Qiao thought that Wang Gongzi was the son who represented the king of Qi.
This was a big surprise! Lin Shi was a little unconvinced.
Ji Qiao persuaded again: "Anyway, it's all in your own house, and nothing will happen, so you will compensate him." β
Lin Shi saw that Ji Qiao was doing some undesirable things, so he said angrily: "You have been in the Qinglou for too long, it is all a few indiscriminate methods." β
Ji Qiao replied disapprenously: "Now it's a prince who pays to accompany you in your own house, and you have a light on your face when you pass it out, so what's there to dislike it." Can a woman in a green house be treated like this? β
Hearing Ji Qiao say this, Lin Shi felt that he didn't lose his identity at all, so he agreed.
At the banquet, the prince was indeed polite, and he said some words of praise and admiration to Lin Shi, without any frivolity.
......
August 20, Day 15 of Registration:
After being busy for a while in the morning, no one has come in the afternoon, and it is estimated that everyone who should sign up has reported.
Ji Qiao counted again, and the total number reached 1,800 people.
Steward Chen admires Ji Qiao a little now, but he didn't expect that his operation would bring a net income of one hundred and fifty taels of gold to the house, not counting the five taels of the prince.
Just as everyone was about to close the stall, suddenly more than a dozen people came over, all riding tall horses.
The son-in-law brother is very handsome!
After the entourage paid the registration fee, Brother Gongzi went directly into the living room.
Ji Qiao looked at the name of the registration form, and it was written again: Wang Gongzi.
Lin Shi went to the living room to serve tea again, and it was still the same standard process.
But Wang Gongzi didn't reach out to take the tea, but kept staring at Lin Shi.
Lin Shi was very embarrassed to be looked at, so she had to remind again: "Son, please tea!" β
Wang Gongzi still didn't answer, but said with a proud expression: "There is no need for tea, such a beauty, and she smiles so sweetly, I am drunk when I see it, and my son must grab it." β
After Wang Gongzi finished speaking, he reached out to touch Lin Shi's face.
Lin Shi hurriedly retreated in fright, and the tea spilled a lot, feeling very unhappy, but he couldn't help but get angry.
