Chapter 3 Opening
"Hey...... I hope Daddy can last a little longer. Listening to Keqin's words, Mu Erqi's heart turned a thousand times.
This Chen Shizi may not be able to agree to their request.
If you want to send troops to help her, you must sacrifice some interests, but I don't know if he is willing to accept the conditions they offer, and if he doesn't accept them, what should they do? Do you really want to watch Daddy being killed by her uncle and them, and she will become the party being hunted down, no, she resolutely doesn't, she must save Daddy.
"This ......" Speaking of the Great Khan, Keqin's mood became heavy all of a sudden, they escaped, and they didn't know what the situation in the tribe was now, I hope that the Great Khan was not caught by His Royal Highness Amur, and it doesn't matter if the power is temporarily left for the time being, as long as the life is still there, there is still a chance to get it back, besides, the thing that symbolizes the leader of the tribe was brought out by the young lady, even if His Royal Highness Amur ascended to that position, it was useless, and the people below didn't care who was the Great Khan, but they were very serious about the symbolic things in his hands, no, They will not be convinced, and they will not be submitted.
"Don't think about it first, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. It's useless to think about it now. "The most important thing about this matter depends on the situation on Chen Shizi's side, and everything is still unknown.
"Yes."
After staying in Longyu County for two days, after everyone recovered, Qiao Xi and the others transferred to a carriage to Tanzhou.
As three years ago, the major inns were also overcrowded, and most of them were students who came to take the exam.
The difference is that the identities of the people who came to take the exam this time are all talents, and it can be said that they are all elite talents, at least in the field of reading, everyone has their own merits.
This time, Qiao Xi and the others were smarter, no longer looking for an inn near Gongyuan, and directly found an inn a little away from it, and the occupancy rate of this inn has reached more than 80%.
This time is just the time to eat, most of the people sitting in the lobby are students, looking at the age of those people, basically in their twenties, thirty or forty years old is sparse and usual, and more than fifty is not a lot, but it is not rare.
When they stepped into the inn, the eyes of the students dining in the lobby fell on them, all looking at them with curious looks, guessing whether they were one of the students this time or just passers-by.
After all, a young person like Qiao Song really couldn't find a single one in this group of people, and curiosity was inevitable.
Qiao Xi and his entourage ignored the gazes of those people and asked the shopkeeper directly: "Is there still a room?" ”
"Yes, yes, I don't know how many girls need?" The shopkeeper was actually just as curious as those people, but he didn't show it so obviously, and when he saw Qiao Xi ask him, he immediately smiled with a smile. If there is business at the door, how can there be a reason not to do business.
"Four rooms, almost after the township test is over." Qiao Xi reported the number of rooms and the time of leaving, so as not to ask the shopkeeper for three days.
At this time, the inn room is scarce, and it would be good to get one.
"Yes." After the shopkeeper handed over the room key to Qiao Xi, he immediately beckoned to Xiao Er, "Xiao Er, hurry up and bring a few guest officers to the room, and entertain them." ”
"Well, a few guest officers, please." Xiao Er trotted over and made a gesture of please to them.
"Little Er, please take them over first, we haven't eaten yet, but there are still seats?" The first half of the sentence was said to Xiao Er, and the second half of the sentence was said to the shopkeeper.
"Yes, girl."
"There are seats, but only in the lobby."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you have a seat."
"Fleur, you take the salute to the room first, and come over for dinner later."
"It's a girl." Furong took He Youjun and his party to follow Xiao Er to their room, while Qiao Xi took the eldest brother and younger brother to sit in the lobby.
Not long after they sat down, some people couldn't wait to ask and listen to their conversation, as if some of them were going to take the township test.
The person who left must not be, then only one of the three people left should be one, one of them is a woman, directly excluded, and the other is too young to be negligible, so there is only one person left who is eligible, but this person is a little too young and doesn't look like it.
"This little brother, you are also a student who came to take the exam this year?" The man asked this directly at Qiao Song.
Qiao Song hurriedly replied with a gentle smile, "This brother is good, the little brother is a fledgling, so naturally he doesn't dare to compete with the world's talents, and he just wants to accumulate some experience." ”
"The boy is young, but he has no arrogance, and my generation of scholars should be so humble and polite." An older man, about fifty years old, touched his beard and said.
Qiao Song clenched his fists and was about to speak, but he didn't want this person to continue to speak, and didn't give Qiao Song a chance to speak, "Although he is too young and his knowledge is not solid enough, this time it is basically hopeless, but young people must have a studious mentality, however, you said to accumulate experience, the old man disagrees with this, the exam itself is based on your own knowledge, what's the use of having more experience?" I see that you are humble and studious, and I advise you, don't waste your time, let's go back and study for a few more years, and when you accumulate enough knowledge, it's not too late to come back. ”
After hearing this, Qiao Song smiled slightly, did not refute, and only said, "Thank you for the suggestion." With that, he sat back.
Qiao Xi glanced at the old man and grabbed the angry little brother who wanted to help the eldest brother theorize.
"Sister, what are you pulling me for? Why did he say that, big brother, what did he know. Qiao Bai muttered angrily.
"Let's respect the elderly. Even if his words are not good, if you have heard it, why bother with it. Qiao Xi deliberately bit the old word very hard, although the sound was not loud, the people around him could still hear it.
Her eldest brother is just a few modest words, this person is actually serious, this has not yet started the exam, and he thinks that others are too young to take the exam.
Students want to hear some good luck before the exam, auspicious words, this person is good, open and close your mouth is not able to pass the test, this is the most taboo thing for the exam, if you change someone else, you would have quarreled with him a long time ago, I really think that I can rely on the old and sell the old when I am old, and I still read people, how to write the word shame can still remember.
Several other people listened to Qiao Xi's words, and then looked at the man who spoke, and felt that what she said was quite reasonable, it was ugly, they couldn't help but respect the elders, this little girl couldn't see it, she was a person who would be repaid, people said a lot, she used an old word to send people away, people can't do anything, because his age is there, she didn't say wrong, cunning, really cunning!
But there are also people who can't listen to it, although they can't quarrel with him, but it is also okay to quote some other examples, "Throughout the ages, there are many examples of young people winning laurels with high spirits, and crane-haired old men sighing in the air, but you rely on your age to look down on us young students, so short-sighted, it's ridiculous." Maybe people can really win the crown. ”
"You!" The bearded man pointed to the young student's hand trembling slightly, and said: "Doing knowledge should be down-to-earth, compared with us, you have only studied for a few years, and it is really impetuous." ”
Obviously talking about them, how did they become other people now, Qiao Bai looked a little inexplicable.
"Don't look at it, just be yourself." Qiao Xi was speechless at the bearded man's words, this person didn't have a brain problem, as soon as these words came out, didn't he put himself on the opposite side of the young student.
Sure enough, in response to her thoughts, as soon as the bearded man's voice fell, a young student jumped out and sneered: "The so-called hero doesn't ask where he comes from, why does Brother Tai use age to judge the length of knowledge, when the time comes, you will see the real chapter in the examination room, and you can know which is higher and which is lower." ”
"Hmph, I don't care about you in general." The bearded man was a little annoyed, and left after a quick meal.
The person's departure did not affect the rest of the meal, and the atmosphere after that was relatively harmonious.
Fleur and the others let go of the salute and quickly returned to the lobby, "Girl, is something wrong?" "I feel that the atmosphere is a little strange, and the person I met just now, I always feel that something has happened, and that person feels a little deserted and fled.
"Here you are, sit down. When did your curiosity become so heavy? ”
"It's either that I'm curious, or that I met someone on the way here just now, babbling about a young man who is young and vigorous. So just ask. ”
"No wonder. It's just that some people say something unpleasant because they are a little old. Aroused the public outrage of the young students, you said that he could still stay here. "The fire is out
"That person can't be talking about the eldest prince." The students present are the youngest of the eldest son, and some of them must have preached to the eldest prince by virtue of their age, which caused the public indignation of other students, this person has a problem with his brain, otherwise how could he say such offending words, he has read too many books and become a nerd.
Not to mention, Fleur's analysis is really in line with what happened before, but it's just that some people say something specious because of their age.
"You have clairvoyance and ears, you can know this."
"After looking around, I basically guessed it." Doesn't they just think that the eldest son is young, he should study hard and study, and don't rush to take the township exam, but have they ever thought that no matter how young he is, he is also a talent in the name of Xiucai, that person deliberately ignored this.
It's not the name of Xiucai, how can you come to participate in this township test, this is a very simple truth, but unfortunately, some people have already gotten into a dead end, and it is not easy to come out.
"Hehe, don't talk about the upsetting."
In the next time, Qiao Song basically didn't step out of the door, and put most of his energy into reading.
Only Qiao Xi took her little brother and Furong out for a walk, and she didn't buy big like last time.
This time, I mainly took my younger brother to take a walk and appreciate the customs of various places.
As the pace of the exam got closer and closer, the atmosphere in the inn became more and more anxious, and some people even collapsed directly because they couldn't bear the pressure.
Qiao Xi was in the room, and from time to time they would hear the sound of candidates yelling outside, which made people's hearts even more impetuous.
When there were three days before the exam, they were having a good meal and were about to go back to their room that day, when someone ran in from outside and shouted, "Xie Yuanpan is open!" ”
When the people in the lobby heard this, they all stood up and walked nearly half of the people in an uproar.
"Big brother, do you know what's going on with this solution disk?" When Qiao Xi heard this, she stopped and asked her eldest brother puzzled.
"Every time there is a township test, a test, such a big test, there are big power gambling houses will set up a solution yuan plate, a champion plate, set a certain odds, and make public bets." Qiao Song explained to Xiaomei.
"Isn't this just gambling?" It's just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it's not a gamble in the final analysis.
"Yes, but this one is also for a good win."
"Big brother, why don't we take a look." Gambling is all about luck, just like the welfare lottery of the Celestial Empire, it is also a small amount of money, and it is happy to win, and it is just a small amount of money if it is not planted, and the picture is just the process.
"It's good to go and have a look." Qiao Song originally wanted to object, but the little sister didn't say anything about betting, and the words of the exit changed.
There is a bustle, there is no shortage of people, and the candidates in the huge inn can't help but go to see it, of course, there is no shortage of itchy hands, wanting to make a lot of money.
By the time Qiao Xi and the others arrived, the front of the public escort Yuan Pan was already full of people.
Can open the yuan plate, the strength of this gambling house must not be underestimated, less in the plate of these candidates, each person's situation must be carefully investigated, and publicized, so that the bettor can be more targeted bet.
It is impossible for everyone to be able to get on this solution to the yuan plate of so many candidates, and the solution to the yuan plate opened by the gambling house will pick the famous ones from the past talents, take it for granted, have good potential, or are familiar popular candidates.
If you can't get on this solution, most of them are incapable, of course, there is an exception, it is very likely to be an upset, but such a situation is very rare.
Qiao Xi looked at it from her point of view, and saw the names of the people on the Xie Yuan plate, the odds were lined up from top to bottom, and there were very detailed annotations behind them, which were very simple, just an introduction for everyone.
She looked at it fixedly, and her eldest brother's name was impressive, but the ranking was very low, in the eighty-eighth place, and the odds were one to eight.
The number of people who take the township examination in Tanzhou is about 2,000 per session, and only 100 can really be admitted. Assuming that judging from the number of references, her eldest brother's ranking is not low at all, but judging from his previous college examination results, this is obviously low.
and the odds are so high, which shows that the gambling house is not optimistic about the solution yuan he can test.
Several other court trial cases are ranked in the top 10 or so, and the highest odds are only one to three.
The people in front of Qiao Xi left one after another after making bets, and soon it was her turn.
"Girl, who do you want to bet on, let me tell you, this Shao Bing's strength is very powerful, it's right to bet on him, even if you lose, it doesn't matter, the odds are not very high. If you don't want to detain him, Li Xie, Ma Chenggui, Jia Renliang...... These are also very promising, you see? The man who was watching the plate in front of Xie Yuan introduced it to Qiao Xi like a river.
"Isn't this person also the head of the court trial, why are the odds so high?" Qiao Xi pointed to the word Qiao Song and asked.
"As soon as I saw the girl, I knew that she was a layman, and it was the first time to bet, who made him too young, so young, and his knowledge must not be as solid as others, how can the hospital test be compared with the township test, and the odds will naturally be much higher."
"I don't agree with what you say, so I don't allow people to be geniuses. You call it ageism. "Why do you look down on her brother so much, her brother is bad, what's wrong with her young age.
Before, he also persuaded his little brother not to be angry because of other people's words, but now when he heard such words, Qiao Xi couldn't be provoked, who are they.
"Where are so many geniuses, you think geniuses are cabbage! Who are you betting on? Hurry up! ”
"Charge Qiao Song, two thousand taels." Qiao Xi took out two silver tickets of one thousand taels from his arms and pressed them directly on the plate.
As soon as her voice fell, the crowd was quiet for nearly a minute, two thousand taels, this is really generous, maybe they don't think it's too much to bet on others, because someone has bet the highest bet of 10,000 taels before, these two thousand taels are really nothing, but this is a bet on Qiao Song, then it's different, this girl has a really big heart, so she is not afraid that these two thousand taels will be wasted like this.
It's too late for Qiao Song to pull it, the little sister is really fast, he doesn't have the face to take it back from the big plate, so he can only swear secretly in his heart that he has to fight for breath no matter what, and he can't let his sister down.
The people in the gambling house were happy, but they still explained it for her, "Girl, you have to be clear, our Xie Yuan is betting on the probability of winning the exam, not the person who is admitted to the exam." ”
"You know, you just have to collect the money and register." What's wrong with her bet on her eldest brother, and she's happy to lose it, so if she wakes up, can she make a net profit of 16,000 taels, and it will take two or three months to earn it back in business.
"Okay, I'll register you right away." The people in the gambling house listened to Qiao Xi's words and quickly accepted the money.
took their betting vouchers, Qiao Xi and the others went back to the inn directly.
"Little sister, even if you want to bet, you will press less, and if you make a move, it will be two thousand taels, isn't it too much? What should I do if I lose? When he returned to the inn, Qiao Song counted a few words from his little sister.
"But two thousand taels, it's okay, if I lose, I'll earn back from the business, if I win, won't I easily win more than ten thousand taels, and then return the capital to me, and the rest will be given to you." Qiao Xi said generously, as if he had foreseen the result, and began to distribute the money he woke up.
When Qiao Song heard the words of the little sister, he was speechless, this is even how to divide her, where did she get her confidence. "Little sister, you feel so much pressure for a big brother."
"What's the pressure, just take the test normally, why do you want to do so much."
"So much money, can I not want it." Two thousand taels, not two hundred taels, even if it is two hundred taels, he is distressed, all this money is earned by his sister's hard work.
"Money earned is spent for use, don't be reluctant. It's good to take the test with a normal heart. It doesn't matter if you've been there or not. ”
