Chapter 20: The Festival of Guanpu

Prime Minister's Office

After Prime Minister Hou returned home, he hurried into the backyard.

Outside Hou Huizhu's room, he met his wife.

Mrs. Hou's face was full of tears, and she was very sad.

Seeing Prime Minister Hou, she cried even more sadly: "Master, our family Huizhu ...... It's really too dangerous this time, if she's gone, how can I live. ”

Prime Minister Hou also loves his daughter very much, and when he heard what his wife said, he hurriedly entered the house.

Walking to the inner room, Prime Minister Hou Cheng smelled a strong smell of medicine.

When he walked to the bedside, he saw Hou Huizhu lying on the bed, with a thin and small body, her face was pale, and she looked miserable and pitiful.

Seeing his daughter endure the torture of illness, Hou Chengxiang's heart was like a knife.

He slammed his fists hatefully: "Damn, what kind of demon star has entered the world, which has ruined our arrangement, otherwise, my son is now fine." ”

Mrs. Hou wiped her tears and said softly, "Master, can we find another powerful mage to change Huizhu's life?" Let's not ask for any true phoenix life, as long as Huizhu can be good, anything can be done, the true phoenix life is not easy to get, but there are always many lives in this world. ”

Prime Minister Hou listened to his wife's words, and thought a lot for a while.

"Madam, don't worry, I'll go back and look for the mage again, and I must cure Huizhu this time."

Leaving Hou Huizhu's room, Prime Minister Hou thought of a person.

This man is a bit demonic.

But the spell is really powerful.

Prime Minister Hou Cheng usually doesn't want to invite this person out of the mountain, but now it is about Hou Huizhu's life, and he really has no spectrum for the demon star to enter the world, so he wants to invite this person out of the mountain to have a look.

He also had some friendship with this person in his early years.

This person cultivated evil arts in his early years and betrayed his master, he was not very strong at the beginning, and he was chased and almost killed, but it was Prime Minister Hou Cheng who saved his life.

He also said that if Prime Minister Hou had something, he could look for him.

It's just that Prime Minister Hou didn't want to deal with this kind of person, so he never asked him for anything.

Now for the sake of his daughter, Prime Minister Hou has no choice but to let go.

He went back to his study and wrote a letter, passed it on as the man had said, and then waited quietly.

Taiping Village

Qin Yi returned home and thought about it for a long time, and he solemnly looked for Qin Zhu.

Standing in front of Qin Zhu, Qin Yi said loudly: "Dad, I want to study." ”

"What?" Qin Zhu was stunned.

Qin Yi said again: "I want to study, I want to be a master." ”

Belch?

Qin Zhu didn't know what to say, so he said after a while: "It's a good thing that you want to study, it's just that it's just our family's ......."

Looking at his son's eager hopeful eyes, Qin Zhu couldn't say anything that he couldn't afford his son to study.

"I know our family can't afford me to study."

Qin Yi understood and smiled: "I will find a way to make money by myself, I just came to tell my father my determination, I want to ask my father to support me." ”

Qin Zhu was stunned again.

He had never heard Qin Yi say such a coherent thing.

In the past, Qin Siniu was just a playful child, he was used to being very disobedient, he only knew how to eat and play stupidly every day, and he never thought about it, but now Qin Yi is confident and firm, as if he has suddenly changed a person.

Qin Zhu comforted himself, this may be that his son has grown up and is sensible.

"Okay." He nodded: "Dad will also work hard and save more money for you, but it's too hard to study, since you have decided, you have to persevere, and you have to endure this hardship." ”

"I can stand it." Qin Yi nodded firmly: "I will continue to read, and I will also work hard to gain fame and glory to my ancestors." ”

The last four words made Qin Zhu smile.

Yes, Guangzong Yaozu, this is his wish all along, and almost everyone's wish.

He stood up and patted Qin Xu on the shoulder: "Okay." ”

After Qin Yi told Qin Zhu of his decision, he began to worry about how to earn the first pot of gold when he returned to the room.

He was in dire need of silver now.

If he has money now, he can buy a good set of clothes, and then dress up as a rich young master, take the small bottle of potion with him, go to the bigger towns and sell the small bottle, and then exchange it for the silver needed to study for the past few years.

It's just that he is a child, what way can he make money?

Qin Yi thought of a lot of ideas, and finally vetoed them.

Just when he was at a loss, a message reached his ears.

On this day, Qin Yi was worried about how to make money again, he was bored in the house, so he wanted to go out and go around, and help Sanniu to hunt some pigweed by the way.

When he went out, he helped Sanniu carry the basket on his back and beat pigweed as he walked.

Not far away, there are some children playing, and there are people chatting on the side of the road.

When Qin Yi was cutting the pigweed, some words came into his ears.

"The Guanpu Festival is coming, we have to have a good time this year."

"No, I can't go this year, I lost too badly last year, and my mother-in-law said that she wouldn't let me go this year."

"It's a pity, it's only once a year, it's a pity if you don't go."

"I'm going to play anyway."

"I heard that this year's Guan Po Festival is very lively."

"We are a small place here, no matter how lively it is, it can't compare to the Guan Po Festival in Chang'an City."

"Yes, the Guan Po Festival in Chang'an City is really lively, I went there a few years ago, let me tell you......"

Word by word came into Qin Yi's ears, and Qin Yi completely fell into his mind.

As soon as he became engrossed, the movement of his hand slowed down, and the scythe almost cut his hand.

It was Sanniu who kept an eye on him, which allowed him to avoid the danger of being scratched.

Sanniu snatched the sickle and glanced at Qin Yi angrily: "You stop a little, if you cut it, you won't have to pick my skin when you turn around." ”

Qin Yi smiled embarrassedly.

He didn't touch the sickle again, but helped Sanniu put the cut pigweed into the basket, and while working, Qin Yi asked Sanniu: "Third sister, I just heard someone say that Guan Pujie ......"

"Guan Po Festival." Sanniu's eyes also lit up when she said that Guan Po Festival: "I almost forgot, Guan Po Festival is coming." ”

Qin Yi rubbed his head: "I forgot a lot of things, the third sister told me what the Guan Po Festival is, I seem to remember, but I don't seem to remember clearly." ”

Sanniu smiled: "Our Great Qi Dynasty is actually forbidden to gamble, usually do not let people get together to gamble, but, Your Majesty can't bear to be too restrained by the people, since the founding of Taizu, it has set the rules, every year will be held Guan Po Festival, after the spring planting, special three days to give people to do all kinds of gambling, these three days of time men, women and children can go to the street Guan Pu, the bet can be money, can also be all kinds of things, anyway, it is to make people happy." ”

Qin Yi was stupid.

He thought why he was off, it turned out to be a gamble.

Once again, he felt that the world was really strange.

The men here wear red and green and flowers, and the women here wrap their small feet, both men and women are beautiful in their thinness, and there are ...... All sorts of strange customs.

Shaking his head, Qin Yi smiled.

He packed a bundle of hogweed, and when he straightened up, he suddenly froze again.

It suddenly occurred to him that this so-called Guan Po Festival was not a good time for him to earn his first pot of gold.

When it comes to gambling, Qin Yi is really confident.

You know, he is a god-level scholar, or an out-and-out science and engineering man, when it comes to mathematics, physics and chemistry, he is really invincible all over the world.

For these masters, then for gambling, it is naturally easy to be proficient.

He had also studied some gambling skills when he had nothing to do earlier, but he was a good law-abiding citizen, and even if he was proficient in gambling, he had never gambled.

But it's different here.

What about the Guanpu Festival, the official, serious carnival that can be gambled.

In other words, he can play a game without any burden and win some money for himself at the same time.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi smiled again, it was really unstoppable when luck came.
