The twelfth episode Someone was tricked
The venue for the jousting was set up in the spontaneous market outside the docks, the place where the delinquent teenagers beat up that day, and a field about the size of two football fields was encircled, and a fence was built around the perimeter, and four entrances and four exits were set up, which were guarded by the soldiers of the guard.
The stands are divided into several floors, and there are also private rooms, family areas and women's guest areas, which are convenient for rich and noble families, families with children and daughters, and big girls and little daughters-in-law who are not afraid to show their heads to watch the game. With different seats, the admission ticket price is also divided into several grades. Although the ticket price in the women's passenger area is the most expensive, it was sold out very early, and finally sold out a ticket for more than a dozen taels of silver, equivalent to 10,000 yuan, but there are still people who can't buy tickets with money.
Why is that? It's very simple, who doesn't know that the students in Tianjin Weixue are all children of the family, usually even if it is a powerful family, you can't observe all the "little masters" at one time, this is a great opportunity, especially if there is an unmarried daughter in the family, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to see if there is a chance to marry.
So after this martial arts competition, it is destined to have a broken heart.
As for all the expenses of the competition, including the construction fee, the cost of the clothing of the team members, the cost of chariots and horses, the cost of maintaining law and order in the yamen, the cost of the carriage and horses for inviting high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the food and drink supply of the guards and team members during the competition, all of them shall be borne by each business. In return, merchants can advertise on the fence and obtain the naming rights of the competition and trophies, among which the company with the largest capital can also present awards to the champion team together with An Gonggong. This part of the ticket revenue will belong to Wei Xue, which is used to improve the living environment of the students, and secretly ...... Needless to say, right?
The small traders who originally did business in this area were not affected, but they moved their stalls to a different place and placed them on the periphery of the competition ground, which not only did not affect their income, but because of the crowd of spectators, everyone made a small fortune. Therefore, this martial arts competition is simply the best reputation of the public, and it is said that while Gonggong An is fair and open to recruit talents for the country, he can also have fun with the people and take care of the people's livelihood.
Of course, the large text and picture advertisements of the Qingshan are brushed in the eye-catching place of the main entrance, as at the beginning, a small use of power for personal gain, and the rest of the matters are handled by the big shopkeeper of the Beijing Division.
"Is our bet still going on?" A voice that had been muffled by a gentle tone sounded in Ruchu's ears, which was exceptionally clear in the midst of a cacophony of noise, but it was guaranteed that only she could hear it.
As he subconsciously touched his ears, as if he wanted to sweep away the warm breath that sprayed on his ears, he didn't have to look back to know that the person who spoke was Qi Jiguang. At this time, the students stayed in a place surrounded by a curtain similar to a mobilization channel, preparing for the upcoming martial arts competition. As at the beginning, he peeked into the lively scene outside, and there was no excitement in his heart, only uneasiness, plus cold hands and feet.
"If I lose, are you really not going to participate in the tournament?" She asked, turning her head slightly.
Qi Jiguang smiled sweetly, shook his head and said, "I will participate, because in the past two months, you have instigated the whole team to crave this competition, although they are my brothers, and I usually have the final say, but I will not ignore their feelings." So, I'm going to definitely participate and try to win. Ha, in an open competition, they will do smaller hands and feet, won't they? However, if you lose, you can no longer command me from now on. ”
"What does this mean? What are the conditions attached to the bet? So if I win, are you going to listen to me? As before, he gritted his teeth and stiffened to the end.
At least the local team will participate in the competition, right? Then she's not much of a failure.
"Okay, if you win, I'll listen to you in the future." Qi Jiguang didn't care about the authenticity, and the confident light flashed in his eyes, making his whole person look full of oppression and domineering.
"I hope you remember that in the future." Ruchu looked at the young and proud handsome man in front of him, but what he thought in his heart was the innocent demon monk. Dead Void Sea, you must cooperate with me, don't fool me, whether you can subdue the Pony King, and then conquer the entire wild horse herd, it depends on today.
I couldn't stop comforting and encouraging myself, and I felt that time passed very slowly, but in fact, it was only half a pillar of incense, and Grandpa An came to the curtain where the students gathered according to the procedure and began to speak before the competition. In ancient and modern times, this kind of speech is some hollow, slogan-like language, which cannot be heard at all at first, and the eyes are aimed at a certain person who is solemn in the face of the treasure.
Grandpa An really only brought his own retinue and Xuhai here, and the two little eunuchs stood beside Gonggong An, and Xuhai was hidden a little later, because there was no woman in the curtain except for Ru Zhuang, so it was completely unnoticeable.
He didn't look up to answer the original gaze, he stood there like a stone sculpture, not moving, and was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Seeing that Gonggong An said that he would do his best for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor in the future, and that he would end his speech immediately, he heard a loud explosion outside the curtain, which startled everyone. Gonggong An subconsciously took a step back, and the two personal little eunuchs jumped forward and blocked in front of him.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a big firecracker that blew up." Seconds later, a sergeant opened the curtain and came in to report back.
Father-in-law An was not happy, but compared to such a major event as the martial arts competition, he didn't care much about it, stepped forward and continued to say what he almost didn't finish just now, and at the same time grabbed the back of his neck with his hand. Then, I grabbed it again.
Seeing his action, the heartbeat suddenly intensified. The Void Sea has done it! This guy is so fast, he can be a top magician!
When I first thought of the slender and powerful ten fingers of the Void Sea and the nails that were always trimmed cleanly, I was suddenly full of confidence. Maybe others didn't see it, but because she had been staring at the void sea, she saw that when Grandpa An retreated just now, he reached out and helped him, and the sleeves of the snow-white monk's robe trembled slightly. It was probably because the movement was so fast that it was beyond the human eye's image dwell time, and I didn't see what he did at the beginning, but Grandpa An's performance said it all.
Speech, has stopped. Grandpa An stood on the ground, and he could see that he was trying his best to restrain himself, but the strange itch from his body made him unable to do this at all, and his hands consciously flew up and down, constantly scratching around his body. But in a moment, his body was also distorted, his face was hideous, and he made a strange sound of "ho-ho" while jumping around.
"Grandpa An, what's wrong with you?" Almost everyone asked like this, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the old eunuch, and no one noticed that the sleeves of Xuhai's robe swept against the necks of the two little eunuchs. As a result, it wasn't long before there were two more people who behaved strangely and scariously. A group of people stood around, stunned by the sudden situation, and not even one dared to go over to see what was going on.
