Chapter 57: The Gambling Game
He rubbed his hands, obviously embarrassed, but yearning for it.
"Cough, how can the little one have that face, most of the people who participated in the gambling game were the rich young master, and I heard that the princes participated in it. Especially that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spent a lot of money for Miss Ning! I have ten dollars a month, where can I afford to gamble. ”
This little two talked about gossip with relish, and at the same time confirmed Yan Xin's conjecture, this prince was really fascinated by Ning Shuying.
"Don't say that, I have a thousand taels of silver tickets here, even if you use it to press Miss Ben to win, I will definitely not lose you."
Yan Xin took out a silver ticket stamped with the red seal of Jinlong Qianzhuang from his waist and slapped it on the table.
Xiao Er was stunned for a while, and hurriedly shirked it.
"Miss Liu, how dare I accept this, you must know that Miss Naning has won the first place for two consecutive years, you can take it easy for a while."
"Don't worry, since I let you bet, I won't let you lose, but this money is not for you, you have to inquire for me, who are the winners and losers of the two of us."
As soon as the little two heard that it was a deal, he immediately nodded and accepted the silver ticket and withdrew.
Yan Xin took off his robe and sat down at the table to taste a few dishes. Outside, the orchids invited by Yipinsai were dancing, twisting their slender waists and dancing to the music step by step.
When she glanced around, she saw a familiar man smiling at her in the private room directly opposite. She fixed her eyes and saw who else could there be a good-looking man with peach blossom eyes, Luo Yunxi.
Seeing Yan Xin looking at her, Luo Yunxi immediately stood up and waved at her. This was already very angry with Yan Xin, who knew that a squire standing behind him was still holding the shawl that was cushioned by Yan Xin that day!
How can this kind of thing still be kept! There's a ...... on it And their own ......
Yan was so angry that he turned his face and ignored the man.
Luan'er seemed to notice Luo Yunxi, who was behaving strangely, and reminded: "Miss, do you know the son opposite?" He's been waving at us. ”
"I don't know, no matter her, let's eat some to cushion our stomachs first, and we will have to stand for a while."
Luan'er sat on the side knowing nothing, but she always felt that the atmosphere was very strange, but she couldn't say what was strange. He had never seen Liu Yanxin avoid anyone, but the extraordinary son on the other side had such a skill, which must not be underestimated.
Immediately afterwards, under the comments of many followers, Ning Shuying was late. It's ridiculous to say that today Miss Ning is wearing a bright red flower skirt, the neckline is decorated with peacock blue gems, and the cuffs are also ruffles, and the whole person looks ...... It's hard to put into words.
Of course, this skirt is similar to what she took out to coax Liu Tang'er at that time, that is...... There are so many tricks that it makes people dizzy when they look at it.
Now the banquet can be confirmed, the daughter of the money shopkeeper must not really be infected with the cold, someone bought Liu Tang'er and used the quota of the Wenhui as a reward to find out the news.
Of course, Liu Tang'er's brain would definitely not believe that Yan Xin would really wear that dress. It's a pity that this Ning Shuying is not very good at braining, but it has fulfilled Liu Tang'er.
It wasn't until Ning Shuying saw Liu Yanxin standing upstairs that her expression suddenly changed, and she couldn't hide her incomprehension of betraying her and Liu Tang'er.
Yan Xin made a grimace at her, silently provoking the relationship of interests between her and Liu Tang'er.
Then Ning Shuying had a cold face, ignored the men cheering for her around her, and sat straight back in her private room.
After a while, Yanxin saw that the prince had also entered Ning Shuying's private room, and the two behaved intimately, talking and laughing.
When the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai saw that the guests were almost there, he began to talk eloquently, by the way, the rules of the talent contest that had never been changed.
There are three rounds of this competition, the first round is a chessboard game, the second round is a piano art competition, and the last round is a poetry game.
A total of ten women participated in this year's Talent Girls Conference, and Yan Xin walked off the stage with those women to introduce themselves.
Sure enough, these women all chose which emerald green, red, and purple clothes, among which Ning Shuying was the most dazzling.
But even so, the adults in the audience are all praising Yanxin for being extraordinary, and this dark gray gradient dress is unique.
It can be regarded as good luck for the feast, and when the lottery was drawn, an unknown official lady was drawn, and by looking at her evasive eyes, she knew that she didn't know chess at all, and I am afraid that she also made the silver come in and show her face.
And Liu Tang'er didn't have such good luck, Yan Xin had just offended Ning Shuying for her, which can be described as a narrow road and an opponent.
These two bad women actually bumped into each other, and Yan Xin couldn't wait to end his chess game early to watch the two of them.
Thinking about it, Ning Shuying's two consecutive talented women must also have real skills, and Liu Tang'er is good at pretending to accumulate thick and thin, and she is not an idle person.
No matter which of them loses, it will be a sure profit for Yanxin.
In order not to let the woman on the opposite side lose too quickly, she brushed the faces of others, and Yanxin deliberately turned a corner and let the two sons.
Just as she herself had lost her last son and easily won the girl opposite, she looked up slightly and saw Li Qingliu sitting in the hall on the third floor with a few literati and elegant guests.
She didn't expect that this Li Qingliu would come to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival with a face, and he should have never loved the written test between women.
I saw that he was staring at Ning Shuying's position in the audience, and most of them also took a fancy to her talented woman name and wanted to find out. A nobody like himself, who happened to meet a senior and was accused of plagiarism, must not be in the eyes of the old-timers.
In about a pillar of incense, basically all the chessboards were shocked and the winners and losers were clear, and in the end, there were only Liu Tang'er and Ning Shuying.
Yan Xin couldn't help but cheer for Ning Shuying in his heart, you must know that the two of them have a gambling contract, if Liu Tang'er wins, wouldn't she make a wedding dress for someone else.
"Miss Liu's chess skills are really good, it really subverts my opinion of the Liu family's concubine, I hope your sister can be better than you."
Finally, the chessboard of the two of them also came to an end.
Ning Shuying narrowly won, but in the end, she didn't forget to ridicule the two sisters. She always knew that the two daughters of the Liu family belonged to Liu Tang'er, and Liu Yanxin was just a paper tiger, since she could win the powerful one, it would not be surprising that the other one.
Of course, Liu Tang'er still needs to retain her gentle appearance in front of everyone, she is not good at attacking, but she just smiled: "It's because my skills are not as good as others, Miss Ning is worthy of being a talented woman in Lanzhou, I hope you can still be re-elected for three consecutive terms this time." ”
The look of loss was difficult to hide, but Liu Tang'er still didn't forget to glare at Liu Yanxin when she stepped down.
And Liu Yanxin shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.
The second round of dancing is the time for all the girls to have one stick of incense, Ning Shuying drew the first one, but Liu Yanxin was at the end, these two positions are excellent, it seems that the shopkeeper deliberately created a gimmick for the gambling game.
Yan Xin is the first time to see Ning Shuying dancing, and it is worthy of inviting the best dancer in Xunyang City to come to teach the class, she is very resilient, and she can do many difficult movements very beautifully.
It's just that this dance skirt is too much to declare the army and take the lead, covering Ning Shuying's original arrogance, and her appearance is not suitable for this kind of glamorous makeup.
But the men in the audience kept clapping, and many women were also amazed by her dance.
For Yan Xin, fortunately, her previous experience in martial arts can ensure her strength and posture, but she may not be able to compete with Ning Shuying in other aspects.
Luan'er stood beside Yanxin, but her eyes had already drifted to the prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that the whole person is fascinated, looking at his appearance, he will not really marry Ning Shuying."
Looking at Luan'er's worried appearance, Yan Xin couldn't help but support his forehead.
"It's because of him that you hurt your family, why do you care about him now, none of the princes of Tianyu are good things, don't pay for it wrongly."
"Where's the where, Miss, I'm just afraid that the two of them will be embarrassed, and then our plan will fall through at the beginning."
Bai Luan'er immediately frowned and explained that she had been in Xunyang City for so long, and she knew the true faces of several princes no less than Yanxin.
The crown prince is arrogant and rude, the second prince is very deep, the third prince is happy, and there is a fourth princess who is obsessed with men all day long...... Such a brother and sister are really contemptible.
"This real gamble is only half of the beginning, and Ning Shuying will never be able to step into the Tianyu royal family in her life."
Yan Xin looked at the king of Pingnan who was seated expressionlessly, he toasted with the rich merchant next door for a while, and talked with the two princes while drinking, he really regarded himself as the steward of Lanzhou City.
And his father, as the real city lord, not only can't sit to watch the performance, but also has to patrol the city outside without resting, which makes people angry when they think about it.
Luan Er nodded and commented on the dance below.
"The dancing of these girls is not bad, but when they are put together with Ning Shuying, it is a big thing. Either one or two steps were wrong, or the water sleeves were thrown out without strength, and even the embroidered shoes were kicked out because of nervousness. ”
Yan Xin shook his head, looking at the girl's appearance, he seemed to want to go down and compare with each other.
At this time, the little two who were called to inquire about the news knocked on the door and came in.
"Hey, Miss Liu, the little one has inquired for you, ninety percent of the guests in the gambling game downstairs today have suppressed Miss Ning to win, but the second prince has spent two thousand silver to bet on you to win the championship."
"Second prince? I'm afraid it's not good again. ”
Luan'er looked displeased, she had known Qin Xuanyi's father-killing feud for a long time, and now she could pretend to know nothing in front of these two princes, it was really difficult for her.
This Qin Xuanyi, as the prince, is also a sure profit, if Yanxin wins, then he will have a good reputation, if Yanxin fails miserably, it will not hurt, he only spent a mere two thousand silver. When the time comes, maybe it will move Yan Xin and make the Liu family change their opinion of him.
