Chapter 40 and the first
Three days later, the emperor list was finally released.
Sure enough, as Gu Man expected, Qiu Zining became the most unexpected batch of dark horses this year, and he won the champion to everyone's surprise!
And what is surprising is Liu Changqing, who was hit by Tanhua.
For a while, everyone in the capital was talking.
The day after the list was released, Cheng Mo went to the court again. Previously, the emperor gave Cheng Mo a three-day vacation, and during those three days, Cheng Mo rested with Ji Moyan and didn't mention it for the time being, to Gu Man's surprise, Liu Xiaoxiang actually went to her courtyard to talk to her for three days in a row, and persuaded Gu Man to let her not be sad.
Gu Man smiled, not only was she not sad, but she was also happy that Cheng Mo would stay in Ji Moyan's courtyard for the rest of her life.
However, others are afraid that they don't think so, there are always people staring at Ji Moyan's yard, thinking that Cheng Mo will come out anyway, right?
However, they waited from morning to night, but they didn't wait. Cheng Mo just stayed in Ji Moyan's yard and didn't come out.
Ji Moyan didn't know that in addition to Gu Man, there were seven women in the mansion who were looking forward to Hou Ye and waiting for Hou Ye.
However, I don't know why, she didn't want Cheng Mo to leave his side, she ...... Some scared.
It's just that she doesn't know what she's afraid of.
Taking advantage of Cheng Mo's absence, Gu Man sent a message to Ji Moyan and invited her to accompany her to the "and the first floor" to retrieve the silver she had won in the bet. But because the accounts in the house were a little incorrect, Ji Moyan refused.
So, Gu Man had no choice but to go by himself.
At this time, the streets are not as crowded as before, but there are still many people coming and going.
After coming to the "and the first floor", I saw some lifters carrying burdens and walking out dejectedly. It seems that he must have fallen off the list. This is still relatively calm, and some people cried bitterly, and tore the book in their hands to shreds, and wailed in their mouths: "Ten years of hard work!" Why is that?!!! ”
However, the people in the restaurant seemed to be used to seeing this scene, and they didn't pay much attention to him, so they still did what they should do.
However, in addition to the dejected demeanor of high school in this building, there are also grief-stricken gamblers who have lost all their net worth, and they are scolding and swearing.
Gu Man was still wearing men's clothes, and after the shopkeeper saw Gu Man, he didn't have the previous courteous smile on his face, but pretended not to see it and hid in the back kitchen.
Gu Man didn't care, he went up to the second floor by himself, and found the person who gave people the prize money.
The man had a shrewd face on his face, a goatee, and a large black mole on his right cheekbone, up and down his temple, which looked very treacherous.
The man saw Gu Man and asked for the voucher for the bet, and after Gu Man gave the voucher to the man, the man was shocked at first, and then smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you a silver ticket!" You can't move so much silver alone, so it's more convenient to exchange it for a silver ticket! ”
Gu Man nodded, quite considerate.
Looking around the second floor, there were a lot of people on the second floor who came to exchange silver, including the fat man I met before, who was happy with four taels of silver in his hand.
and that Liu Siyang, who left with a sad face. It was estimated that he had made the wrong bet, and after seeing Gu Man, he hurriedly covered his face with a fan and went downstairs.
Gu Man waited left and right on the second floor, and when there were not many people left on the second floor, the man hurriedly walked over, followed by a man with a big waist and a round waist, a fat brain, and a brocade robe. The two were followed by seven or eight men with sticks. All of them had a fierce look in their eyes.
Gu Man secretly said that it was not good, they wouldn't have wanted to go back on their word and not give her the silver, right?
Gu Man pressed the champion, doubled the payout, and won a full eight thousand taels! It's a lot of money.
However, just because the ordinary people of all sizes in the capital participated in the gambling game, the owner of this restaurant earned more than tens of thousands of taels. Isn't it possible for him to afford to lose?
Just thinking about it, the fat boss waved his hand, and the subordinates behind him surrounded Gu Man.
Gu Man looked at the fat boss with a strong and calm look, "What does this mean?" ”
The fat boss grinned, and the fat on his body trembled with laughter, not to mention how greasy it was, and he gasped and said, "What do you mean?" Guess what that means? ”
"Do you want to admit it?!"
The fat boss laughed even more arrogantly, clapped his hands and said: "Sure enough, he is a smart and understanding person, otherwise how can he start so accurately, saying that Qiu Zining is the champion, and it is really Qiu Zining who is the champion." Terrible! Admire! Since Childe is so smart, I won't be hard with you, so please? ”
The fat shopkeeper made a gesture of please.
He wanted Gu Man to walk out of the first floor by himself.
At this time, the people on the second floor had already been emptied, and if Gu Man refused to admit it, no one would know that she was killed at this moment.
Gu Man sighed, it seems that she has to eat this loss. But, eight thousand taels!
With these eight thousand taels, it is more than enough for her to open a store in the south.
Eight thousand taels......
I knew that she would have brought some people here, but what could she think of that this "and the first floor" still didn't admit it?
Hum! Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, she will come back!
The fat shopkeeper was also surprised that Gu Man confessed so quickly and did not make any resistance, he was a little jealous in his heart, and said to the person next to him: "He is quite familiar with current affairs?" If it was an ordinary person, how could he be willing to give away the eight thousand taels for nothing? Who the hell is this kid? Don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with, right? ”
The man on the side said with a smile: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I think he is just an ordinary person, he must be cowardly if he doesn't dare to resist, you look at his little chick appearance, you definitely don't dare to argue with you!" ”
The fat shopkeeper smiled again when he heard this, nodded, and looked at the man with satisfaction, "That's right!" ”
Gu Man gritted his teeth and walked out of the "first floor", his face full of gloom.
What is different from her state of mind is that firecrackers are ringing on the road ahead.
The children shouted loudly and paraded through the streets~ Look at the champion!
People's faces were beaming with joy, and some parents said earnestly to their children: "You must study hard, and when you grow up, you can wear red robes and black yarns like the champions!" ”
The children clapped their hands happily.
Gu Man followed behind the crowd and looked at Qiu Zining riding a white horse at the front.
At this time, his face was full of the smug look of the high school leader, and he clasped his hands into fists and bowed back to the people who passed by and said auspicious words for him.
Our role models are also beaming with joy behind us. Looking at Liu Changqing, who is at the bottom of our list......
With a black face, it seems that this parade is not a great honor for the glory of the ancestors, but a parade of the public, throwing his face on the ground, and constantly stepping on it!
Gu Man actually understands him, a proud son of the sky, who has been held by others since he was a child, and everyone says that he is the champion, and that he is the only one. But at this time, I am afraid that the people who held him before are secretly laughing at him at the moment.
He must be very sad.
Xu is Gu Man's eyes were too sincere and hot, Liu Changqing looked at Gu Man as if he had a feeling, and looked at her.
Gu Man smiled back, not a mocking smile, but, a smile of 'you're already great'.
Xu is Liu Changqing felt it, and the corners of his mouth actually pulled up a smile that seemed to be nothing.
