Chapter 40: The Gambling
In the long darkness, a morning light broke through the night from the sky and landed in Liyang City, gradually washing the entire city brightly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sleeping crowd opened their sleepy eyes one after another to start a new day.
Today, Fang Ziqi is going to compete with that scholar in Cuiyan Pavilion.
This is the first thing that comes to mind when many people's brains wake up.
It's been a long time since anything new or big has happened in Liyang City.
Even if many people do not understand the world of literati, it does not prevent them from joining in the fun on this matter.
Just opposite the Cuiyan Pavilion, a stall suddenly appeared early in the morning, there was a banner above the stall, on which a big word was written "bet", and two lines were written in a slightly smaller word below the big character, and it turned out that the odds of Fang Ziqi and Ye Mu were 1 to 100.
There were three people standing in front of the stall, one old and two young, the old man always smiled with a pair of very shrewd eyes at a glance, and looked at the people gathered on the street almost there, coughed lightly, and shouted at the top of his voice:
The duel between the two most famous talents in Liyang City is unprecedented,......
After the old man shouted, his face flushed, and he looked excitedly at the people who slowly gathered around, and quickly made a very calm expression.
"Eh, the gamble?"
"Buying Ye Mu turned out to be a hundred losses, who wants to press him to win, wouldn't it be a hundred times all of a sudden. ”
"Don't dream, do you think the owner is stupid? This is a loss of 100, so Ye Mu can have any hope of winning?"
"yes, then it's better to buy that recipe to win, right?"
"That's right, the boss gave me 100 taels, and the buyer won. ”
"You only pressed one hundred taels, I bought 1,000 taels, and Fang Zi expected to win. ”
......
The old man watched the merchants who came from the chrysalis sending a lot of money, and his heart blossomed, and he hurriedly ordered the two young men next to him, one to collect the cashier, and the other to register his name.
The chief manager of the heart really has a way, usually these people shout poor one by one, asking them for money is more uncomfortable than killing them, and now they are willing to take out the money, and they feel comfortable thinking about it.
Ye Mu, as always, asked Wu Ming to get up in the morning to practice his sword, and then the two of them had breakfast at ease.
"Ye Gongzi, why are you still here!"
Ye Mu was eating breakfast with Wu Ming in the lobby of the inn, and the long-faced man hurriedly ran to Ye Mu and looked at it anxiously.
From the expression of the long-faced man, Ye Mu had already guessed that the other party was here to urge him to go to Cuiyan Pavilion, and he really had the feeling that the emperor was not in a hurry and was in a hurry to die as a eunuch.
"It's still early, eat first. ”
casually made a gesture to invite the long-faced man to sit down.
"If you haven't eaten, let's eat together!"
Now he didn't have the heart to eat here, so he quickly said that he had already eaten.
After a while, the long-faced man couldn't help but say:
"Ye Gongzi, why aren't you in a hurry? Fang Ziqi slept there last night, and he was waiting there early today. ”
Ye Mu smiled, thinking that this guy was so strange, obviously the time had not come, he even cared about others waiting.
"It's okay, if he wants to wait, just wait!"
Seeing Ye Mu like this, the long-faced man didn't want to say anything more, so he had to wait beside him and be in a hurry.
Smoke Pavilion
In the hall, the old bustard lined up his seats early, waiting for the person who bought the door sticker to come and take a seat. The venue of the competition is on the high platform where the girls usually perform, and the seats closest to the high platform can be seen most clearly, she sells at a price of 50 taels per position, and the farther ones are cheaper, and the last seat is also sold at a price of 5 taels. It's just that there are more than a hundred seats here, which makes her earn thousands of taels, not counting the food and drink of the people who come in, she is as happy as she wants, looking at Fang Ziqi these days is like looking at the lucky boy, everything is given the best.
Fang Ziqi had been living in the room upstairs facing the high platform last night, and he had been standing in the corridor early waiting for Ye Mu to arrive.
Years of habit, before talking to people, do nothing, just stand there quietly, waiting.
In a short time, the seats below were almost full.
The old bustard asked the girls to bring tea to the people who came to watch, and greeted the guests with a smile, and took the tea money from each other's hands, without any ambiguity.
Thanks to Fang Zi's blessing, his friends were arranged in the front row, and the tea was free. They turned around and saw Fang Ziqi resolutely standing in the corridor waiting, and they couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Ye Mu, who had not arrived for a long time.
Finally, when there was still a quarter of an hour left, Fang Ziqi slowly came down from the corridor and walked onto the stage where he was going to show himself today.
Everyone in the audience saw that Fang Ziqi had already taken the stage, and suddenly fell silent, and Qi Qi looked as if they wanted to see the talent in his mind directly through him.
What's more, they are all gambling outside, and they have invested a lot of money in the Fang Zi period, and they want to see what kind of people can create such an almost completely crushing odds.
Fang Ziqi's friends gave all kinds of gestures or glances of support and appreciation towards Fang Ziqi, and they didn't feel that Fang Ziqi might not be able to compare to Ye Mu's consideration. It seems that everything is already "all in place, only the east wind is owed." ”
After a while, there was only one seat except for people, and the rest of the seats were all seated, and the little guy who received the door sticker at the door opened the account in his hand and began to compare them one by one boringly.
The old bustard looked at the middle position next to the high platform and was empty, very strange, she vaguely remembered that the seat was bought by a person named Du Da, she didn't know who the other party was, but at that time the other party gave her twice the price, and she asked who the other party was, just as a rich businessman from other places.
It's almost time, and the guest hasn't arrived yet, who is it?
At this moment, not only the bustard guessed so, but the guests in the lobby were also curious, everyone could see that it was the best location, could it be that the owner of the door sticker spent money but didn't come?
Outside the Cuiyan Pavilion.
A carriage squeezed through the crowd and came slowly.
"Ye Gongzi, it's here, go in!"
The long-faced man stopped the carriage and respectfully asked Ye Mu to dismount.
"I'm tired"
Pulling Wu Ming out of the carriage, Ye Mu bowed his hand slightly to the long-faced man, and the long-faced man hurriedly waved his hand back, not daring to accept it.
I don't mind, my eyes sweep around.
"Gambling?" Ye Mu was slightly stunned, "One to one hundred"
Suddenly, Du Fuwei was excited to let himself win the game yesterday.
Take out a piece of gold and hand it to the long-faced man.
Looking at the gold that was full of ten taels, the long-faced man thought that Ye Mu was going to reward himself, and was about to wave his hand.
Then the voice came:
"Please help me buy and I win, just remember your name. ”
He had no choice but to take the gold, looked at Ye Mu's face and didn't look like a fake, and walked towards the gambling place.
Ye Mu carefully looked at the Cuiyan Pavilion from the outside.
"The last half of the incense, everyone hurry up. ”
"I bought Ye Muying, ten taels of gold. ”
The crowd around the gambling stall was stunned and looked at the long-faced man who was shouting.
The old man at the stall looked slightly bitter, and then recovered instantly, and hurriedly snatched the gold as if he had seen a savior, and asked the young man next to him to register.
The people around were stunned again, and then someone understood: everyone pressed the formula to win, it was 100% to win, and the owner was afraid of losing money.
For a while, those who were a little hesitant hurriedly placed bets.
"I buy a child to win, 1000 taels, hurry up"
"I'm 100 taels. ”
......
I am afraid that the owner will not register.
"It's Time"
There are still many people who want to bet, but the time has come, so they have to return disappointed.
