Chapter 34: Children's Playfulness (2)
By the next day, even Mrs. Gui heard about Gui Yuan's gambling with a disciple of a Tianzhu Immortal Master, and asked Osmanthus worriedly: "I heard that Tianzhu has many secret techniques, and the human body can twist around at will, and the hands and feet can be lengthened and shortened, which is very powerful." In your opinion, did Ah Yuan win them?"
Osmanthus smiled bitterly: "You are talking about Tianzhu's jujutsu, Senior Brother Guo should not have learned it, and it is not better than this when you compete." In order not to worry her mother, she had to praise Gui Yuan as much as possible, saying that her grades have been very good recently, and judging from the results of the previous exams, Senior Brother Guo can't catch up, of course, there is no need to tell Mrs. Gui about the three doors. He also said that Rui Immortal Master was defeated with one move that day, which shows that He Immortal Master is an orthodox immortal inheritance, not comparable to Tianzhu Miscellaneous Studies.
Mrs. Gui smiled when she heard this, and said happily: "I'm relieved to hear you say this, Mrs. Wang and I each bet a thousand taels of silver to buy your sister to win." ”
Osmanthus suddenly felt that the back molars were a little itchy, "Ah Yuan is messing around, why are you messing around, and one vote is so much as one thousand taels"
Mrs. Gui said curtly: "I see that everyone buys the disciples of Tianzhu to win, and I can't be angry for a while, and I want to support your sister." After speaking, he became proud again, "I was worried about whether I was too impulsive, but Mrs. Wang's son quietly told us that it was okay, and Ah Yuan would definitely win." When I came back, I still didn't feel at ease, so I specially called you to ask. Since you say so, I might as well bet another thousand taels tomorrow. ”
Osmanthus clenched her little fists and took a deep breath, "Then do you see that there are many bettors?"
"There are a lot of people," Mrs. Gui said with great interest, "We were originally going to go shopping, and suddenly we saw a lot of people crowded there, and we thought it was a beautiful Western view. It took a long time for the maids to get in and find out that it was the fairy courtyard that bet. ”
Osmanthus had an even more headache, and reluctantly squeezed out a voice from between her teeth and asked, "Is it Senior Brother Wang who is setting up a bet there?"
Mrs. Gui shook her head again and again, "How can this be, where did he get so much money? Besides, this is not called gambling, but Tianxiangju came up with a new thing, so that everyone can bet on the winner to have fun." I heard that when the competition is going to open in the fairy market, it will be placed at the door of Tianxiangju, so that everyone can see the methods of the fairy family. I also know how capable my daughter is. The last sentence was said by Mrs. Gui vividly, and she was very proud.
Osmanthus said goodbye to her mother and came out, so angry that the world wanted to settle accounts with Guiyuan, but she didn't know that in fact, Guiyuan ran to Tianxiangju yesterday before and after she did more than this thing. The fairy market is not far away, and she is determined to take this opportunity to reap a little more benefits.
Gui Yuan first said that he and Hu Xianshi moved, after all, if it was not for the approval of the immortal masters, she would not dare to make so many arrangements. Gui Yuan only said that he was not angry with Rui Shimi's master and apprentice, since he wanted to compete publicly, he simply put it outside the fairy courtyard, so that everyone in the city could come to watch, and let them be very ugly when the time came.
In Hu Wenshu's mind, Gui Yuan and Guo Yang are no less different from Yun Ni, and he is not worried that Gui Yuan will not be able to compare with Guo Yang. With a bit of stubbornness, he heard that he could drink wine in Tianxiangju and watch the excitement, and he could bet on Rui Shimi's big defeat and loss, so he was immediately moved, patted his chest and said that he wanted to seek Dean Zhou's approval for Guiyuan.
He Yun'er is also not a big deal to watch the excitement, but she knows the cultivation problem of Guiyuan, and she is afraid that she will suffer in front of Guo Yang. Gui Yuan actually didn't fully think about the details, but she was quite confident, although Guo Yang worked hard but her adaptability was extremely poor, now that she had solved the problem of aura absorption, she didn't feel that she might lose at all. She promised in every way for a long time, and then pulled the tiger skin of the osmanthus to make a big flag, He Yun'er put her mind at ease, and said that she would vigorously support the osmanthus to slap the face Rui Xianshi, and also took out the spirit stone on the spot to bet.
Gui Yuan asked for instructions this time, and these two immortal masters ignored mundane matters, and they didn't even realize how sensational this would be, and what a huge gamble it would form. Gui Yuan didn't even have to worry that the big trading houses in the city would come to grab business—outside of the Immortal Courtyard, no mortal who was not long-eyed dared to set up a gambling game with the competition of the immortal masters.
Then it's very simple, and the matter of betting in the fairy courtyard will be handed over to Wang Dazhi, anyway, he has just sold a round of Langhuan Pavilion's cheats, and he is very familiar with everyone. The hard currency here is spirit stones and cultivation resources, which are always good things and must not be let go.
Tianxiangju is the best betting point in the city, but the shopkeeper is quite convinced of longan after getting a few medicinal recipes, and he just sells it on behalf of him and then takes a little money, there is no risk, and he is naturally willing to do it.
Gui Yuan was quite kind, she was sure that she could win, so she was embarrassed to cheat the poor people's money, so she divided the bet into two kinds. One is extremely cheap, five big dollars per serving, and each person is limited to five copies, no matter whether you win or lose, it is a pleasure and does not hurt the fundamentals. The other is a minimum purchase of 500 taels of silver, with no upper limit, but specially prepared for wealthy businessmen. The top 10 bets also come with a table of fine wine and food upstairs on the day of the competition, and you can condescendingly watch the magic of the little fairy and the little fairy in front of Tianxiang. Mrs. Gui naturally bought this second type.
Then she discussed with the shopkeeper the arrangements for the fairy market on those days. In Guiyuan's view, this kind of market that only comes once a few years, everyone is in a hurry to see the excitement and buy things, so naturally they don't have the heart to invite friends to sit in the restaurant and eat wine and side dishes slowly, so they have already thought of several quick and tempting foods. The shopkeeper was woken up by her words, and he also realized the problem, how experienced he was, and immediately thought of a lot of practical ideas.
In the end, Gui Yuan suddenly had an idea again, and proposed: "In addition to these, it is good to arrange some attractive gimmicks, so that people think that your Tianxiangju itself is one of the rare bustles of the fairy market." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly humbly asked for advice. Gui Yuan groaned for a while, the more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he even had a case of how to compete with Guo Yang, and drew a picture casually and said: "You find someone to build a one-zhang square pool in the open space at the entrance of Tianxiangju according to my picture, and you must finish it before the fairy market fair." ”
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, "It's not difficult to build a small pool, and the cost is limited." But the open space at the door is public, but I am afraid that the next few families will not agree. ”
Gui Yuan said with a smile: "You only said that this pool was used when I was fighting with Senior Brother Guo, who would come to talk about it?" When the first day of the competition is over, you will pour some live fish and shrimp into it and raise them, and I will give you a few pills to increase vitality and dissolve them in the water to ensure that these fish and shrimp are alive and well." ”
She looked at the shopkeeper's blank face, so she had to patiently explain: "If the guest pays enough, he can catch the fish and shrimp by himself within a quarter of an hour." You can take it away, or you can ask Tianxiangju to cook it on your behalf. These fish and shrimp are raised in the pool that the disciples of the Immortal Academy have tried, and they have taken the elixir, they are naturally worth an extraordinary value, and half of them are all immortals, and they can boast about it for a long time when they go back, are you still afraid that they will not come like a guest?"
She thought for a moment and added, "You might as well throw some copper plates and silver coins at the bottom of the water beforehand, and maybe we can get a windfall." ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again after hearing this, and arched his hand: "Gui Xiaoxian is really smart, but I don't know what this should be called." ”
Gui Yuan rubbed his nose, "The fairy road is vast, and a pool can see the ocean." In that case, it's better to call it Haidilao."
