Chapter 18 The Game of One Hundred Taels
The time was close to the afternoon, and the bustle in Sujiang City was gradually reaching its peak, pulling this Yu'er through the road with a relatively little less crowd, and when she passed a certain place on the street, she saw a group of people gathered there, chattering, and shouting noisily I didn't know what I was doing, Chu Yun didn't have the heart to see the excitement, but Yu'er glanced curiously in that direction, but saw Chu Yun walking straight by, hurriedly retracted his gaze, and quickly followed.
"He was willing to give a hundred taels of silver." A scholar-like man was surprised and said, "Yes! That's a bit too generous, isn't it? Another scholar said that when he passed by the edge of the crowd, the sound of two conversations reached his ears, causing Chu Yun's footsteps to slam suddenly.
Chu Yun stopped suddenly, and the little maid Yu'er just wanted to catch up with him quickly, but she couldn't catch up with him unprepared. A piece of fragrant cake in his hand fell to the ground, rubbed his chest a little painfully, and when he looked up, he found that his uncle turned his head and looked in the direction of the crowd, and Yu'er said curiously, "Uncle".
"One hundred taels?" Chu Yun secretly thought about this number in his heart, if he heard it correctly just now, the two scholars who were talking outside the crowd had just said these three words. For the current Chu Yun, anything related to money is a sensitive word, and it is not possible to escape his ears from a distance of a few zhang.
He didn't plan to see the excitement, so he immediately walked quickly towards the crowd. "Dare to ask the two brothers, I don't know what happened here, why are you all gathered here?" Chu Yun first saluted the two people who spoke just now, and then asked with a smile.
The two were chatting happily, and were interrupted by others, and they were naturally unhappy in their hearts, but when they turned their heads and saw that they seemed to be also reading people standing in front of them, the displeasure on their faces immediately disappeared, and one of them replied with a smile: "Brother Tai doesn't know, several poetry clubs in Sujiang Mansion today, in this Taibai Building, use poetry to discuss the superiority, and the winner can participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting held tomorrow, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be masterpieces to circulate." ”
Chu Yun's dress was like a scholar, no matter how he looked at it, perhaps for this reason, the two men in Confucian shirts also had a very warm attitude towards him. What kind of poetry club and poetry club, Chu Yun is not interested at all, this benevolent brother talked for a long time, but still did not get to the point, Chu Yun decided to remind him a little.
Chu Yun showed a faint smile on his face, and asked casually, "What is the one hundred taels of silver that the two brothers just said... ”。“ Oh, the one hundred taels of silver, it is the lottery of this competition, and it will be given to the winning poetry club at the end. The other was stunned for a moment, then explained. For those of them who read, the focus should be on this poetry competition, money is something outside the body, and this hundred taels of silver is not the focus of their attention.
They don't pay attention, but Chu Yun pays attention, as a pseudo-reader, this is the focus of Chu Yun's heart. One hundred taels of silver, if you win, you can take it away, but it's a lot of money.
"Thank you two brothers for informing me!" Chu Yun smiled and arched his hand to the two, and then glanced at the little maid Yu'er standing behind him: "Yu'er come, let's go in." Yu'er nodded happily and followed behind Chu Yun, looking like I would be where my uncle was.
"This brother, please stay, I don't know if there is an invitation from the brother?" The young scholar asked, the expression on Chu Yun's face froze slightly, and he asked curiously, "Invitation?" What invitations? The young scholar explained: "The Taibai Building has been chartered today, and we can only enter with an invitation, so we will be turned away." ”
"So we can't go in either?" Chu Yun said with a disappointed expression. It was as if he had seen a hundred taels of silver fly out of his bosom again, "Not really." The young scholar pointed ahead and said, "You can go in without an invitation, but you need to match the pair they made." ”
"Okay, I see, then thank you for this brother." Chu Yun smiled, took Yu'er's hand and walked to the front, at the front of the crowd, everyone was muttering endlessly around a few pairs, Chu Yun looked at it, and it said, "Where there is a will, it can be done, and one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all." The momentum is magnificent, no wonder so many people have not come out for a long time, Chu Yun smiled slightly, and pulled Yu'er up.
Picked up the pen and wrote next to the pair, hard-working people, the sky is not worth it, and three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. Chu Yun was curious in his heart, this was obviously Pu Songling's pair to inspire him, so it was strange that he would appear here.
"Childe is talented, this pair is neat and atmospheric, just in line with the above sentence, Childe can go in now." The waiter looked at the pair written by Chu Yun and was stunned for a moment, then a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he immediately bowed down and said.
In fact, Chu Yun has seen this pair a long time ago, it is Pu Songling's, and he felt that it was majestic when he saw it in his previous life, and he liked it very much, so he wrote it down. I didn't expect to use it today.
"Can I go in now?" Chu Yun looked at the little guy and asked.
"Childe, please!" The waiter hurriedly stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture, and Chu Yun beckoned to the girl behind him with an adoring face: "Yu'er go, let's go in." The little maid Yu'er nodded happily when she heard this, Uncle is really amazing, even so many people can't come out of the pair, Uncle Zi effortlessly comes out, it's so handsome.
A lovely smile spread on his face, and when he was about to follow Chu Yun in, the waiter quickly chased after him, stopped in front of the two, and said with a sad face: "Childe, you can only go in alone." "Huh? Why is that? Chu Yun looked at him and frowned and asked.
When Yu'er heard this, she immediately tightened the corners of Chu Yun's clothes with some worry, so that Yu'er didn't want to be separated from her uncle. "Because Childe only made a pair, according to our rules, you can only go in alone." The waiter patiently explained to Chu Yun.
The waiter's explanation is very clear, the system of one person, one vote is implemented here, if Chu Yun wants to take Yu'er in, then he must come out with another pair, hey~~ I think what is the matter, what is so difficult about this, the matter of silver matters, Chu Yun naturally can't break the rules of others. Chu Yun walked back in front of those couplets, as if there was an invisible momentum around him, and everyone gathered there got out of the way.
Chu Yun looked at what was written on it, there was leisure in front of the court, bamboo dew, pine wind, banana rain, Chu Yun wrote next to him, there is no long thing at home, and the sound of tea, smoke and piano rhyme. After writing the pair, Chu Yun took the little girl Yu'er's hand and strode towards the inside of the Taibai Building, leaving only the waiters in a daze and a group of chattering scholars, Yu'er, who was holding her hand, was beating so fast at this moment, looking at Chu Yun's handsome performance, Yu'er was a little stupid.
When Chu Yun first came to this Taibai Building, he wanted to eat the overlord meal, and later because of the help of the system, he killed a guy who also ate the overlord meal, and casually took the person's silver and long sword, and now he actually brought this jade pair to participate in the competition of one hundred taels of silver when he came here once, rely on, this is really a wonderful feeling.
The space in this restaurant is much larger than Chu Yun imagined, just in the hall on the first floor, there are about dozens of people, and there are also people upstairs, accommodating so many people, it actually seems very spacious. On the table next to it, there are also some snacks such as vegetables, fruits and pastries, which look quite delicate and can be used as a dessert after dinner.
Just as Chu Yun was about to taste a piece of vegetables and fruits first, a few steps away, a beautiful woman spread out the square scarf in her hand and distributed the delicate pastries on it to several women beside her, Chu Yun snorted, wow! The smell of good fragrance, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked at the fragrance in the past.
"The service here is quite thoughtful, a maid, she is so beautiful, hey, the pastries she is holding in her hand seem to be very delicious" Chu Yun sighed in surprise in his heart, and then walked over quickly. Looking at the slender and white palm that suddenly appeared in front of her, the expression on the pretty maid's face was slightly stunned, and she looked up at Chu Yun, revealing a blank expression.
At the same time, several women around her also showed stunned expressions on their faces. Who is this man? Do you know each other or others? I don't think I know it! "Childe, do you want this~~?" The pretty maid looked at Chu Yun blankly, and after being stunned for a moment, she pointed to the pastry in her hand before she asked with some uncertainty. The sound is soft and waxy, and it is extremely nice to listen to the ears.
No matter how beautiful the maids of other people's families are, it has nothing to do with them, Chu Yun was only interested in the fragrant pastries in her hand, and when she saw that she was neat when she distributed them to those women, she changed herself, and the other party seemed to be reluctant, and she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart. Chu Yun looked at her, nodded with great certainty, and said in his heart that if she rejected herself, she would definitely find her leader to complain about her after going down, and feudal thinking must not be wanted.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked up again and glanced curiously at the scholar in front of her, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, but actually handed over the silk handkerchief in her hand. "Yu'er, come and try this!" Chu Yun stretched out his hand to take away the only two pastries left on the silk handkerchief, turned around and beckoned to the little maid Yu'er, he has never been a person who eats alone, this pastry smells pretty good, it just so happens that the little girl likes to eat sweets, so she has to taste it too.
After Chu Yun took two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said "thank you" to the maid who was standing in place before turning his head and leaving again. The maid looked at Chu Yun's back, and the dazed meaning on her face became even stronger.
"Wanqing, do you know that scholar?" A beautiful woman beside her said with some confusion, the expression of surprise on her face was still there. The woman known as Wanqing shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know, and I've never seen it before." ""Uh~~" "What~? When several beautiful women around her heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise on their faces.
The etiquette between men and women has been developed very well in today's era, even if it is a familiar man, when he sees her, he will stand upright and make a gesture, not rude, as for reaching out to ask for osmanthus cake, I am afraid that it will not be able to do anything. Therefore, when the strange scholar stretched out his hand to her, Shu Wanqing felt a little dazed and overwhelmed. And until now, she hadn't figured out why she had handed it out just now.
"Wanqing, I remember that Shiyun seems to have said, let's leave two pieces for her, she likes to eat the osmanthus cake you made the most." After a while, a certain woman beside the pretty woman came back to her senses, seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at her, and said with a strange expression. At this time, the beautiful woman named Shu Wanqing couldn't help but let out a soft snort when she heard this, and a remorseful expression appeared on her pretty face, and she couldn't help but stick out her little tongue.
At this time, in everyone's sight, they couldn't help but look at the handsome scholar who was laughing with the pretty girl not far away, and the expressions on his face were strange and abnormal, which made people can't help but be funny and angry.
