Jun Jiuling

Chapter 57

Every day at seven o'clock, I didn't even watch it. The subscription is much less than the second one, and the two are connected together. Remember to watch the whole thing.

*************************

Liu'er was not the only one who asked questions, and there were almost simultaneous inquiries from all around.

Why put such a large sum of money here?

What do you want to do?

Show off your wealth?

"...This is a lottery." The lamp watcher said while holding the stick, "If you can make this lamp light, five thousand taels of silver will be yours."

The onlookers were in an uproar.

Five thousand taels.

You must know that this year the Fang family's lottery for the leader of the lantern is only one thousand taels.

real or fake?

"Of course it's true. De Shengchang's banknotes are still fake." The lamp watcher pointed to the glazed cup on which the banknotes were placed, "Look at this glazed cup, it's fifty taels of silver each. .”

"Can you really take it away if you win?" The person who asked was already breathing heavily and his body was shaking.

Five thousand taels.

"Of course," said the lantern-watcher.

As soon as the voice fell, the man rushed over.

"Wait." The lamp watcher blocked it with a wooden stick again.

He looked very thin, and the wooden stick in his hand was also weak, but when the wooden stick was placed on the shoulder of the rushing man, the man had to stop.

Those who can be hired to guard the 5,000 taels of silver bills have some skills.

Miss Jun nodded. The senior officer was indeed very reliable.

"Didn't I say that? If you want to see if you can light this lantern, you have to pay first." The lantern keeper said, pointing to another glazed cup with broken silver scattered in it, "Try once, ten taels of silver .”

Ten taels of silver!

What is the concept of ten taels of silver? A family of three struggles for a year.

"It's too expensive!" The onlookers immediately shouted.

"Expensive?" The lantern watcher snorted, "Of course it's expensive. It's equivalent to a box of the best powder in the best powder shop in Yangcheng, equivalent to a set of famille rose tea set in Ding Kiln, and equivalent to a table in Luyang Tower. Waiting for the table, it is equivalent to a Beilang pen."

These words made the onlookers immediately quiet down.

For poor and ordinary families, ten taels of silver is the guarantee of life, but what the lamp watcher listed are the embellishments of the lives of rich and noble families.

These ten taels of silver are either expensive or not, depending on who it is for.

To put it more bluntly, you can play if you have money, and shut up if you don’t have money, just like you can’t afford Hu Fen Lang Hao and can’t afford high-quality noodles. That’s your problem, not Hu Fen Lang Hao and Xi Nian’s problem.

Miss Jun looked at the lamp watcher and nodded again.

"Let's talk about it." The lamp watcher looked at the people who were retreating and smiled again, and knocked the wooden stick in his hand on the glass cup where the silver bills were placed, "You can earn five thousand taels for ten taels of silver. Isn't it worth it? This is the only time in a lifetime."

That's right, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for five thousand taels, which is simply a bargain.

The people who had retreated were short of breath again and their eyes lit up.

"I'll come." Someone said, and walked over with a wave of his sleeves.

This is a chubby rich man in silk and satin.

"I'm a businessman, and I want to do this business." He said, throwing the ten taels of silver in his hand into the glass cup, "Business is sometimes just gambling."

The lantern watcher confirmed that the silver fell into the glass cup.

"That's right, if you win, the silver in these two glazed cups will belong to you." He said, pointing at the lantern chessboard with a wooden stick, "Please."

The chubby trader stood in front of the chessboard, looking seriously, and when he was getting impatient, he finally reached out and picked up a black stone and put it on the chessboard.

On the chessboard is the space that has been engraved just enough to put the chess pieces.

There was a sound of falling, but the lantern was still not lit.

There were sighs all around.

The businessman shook his head, flicked his sleeves and walked away.

"Who else, who else?" The lamp watcher took out the sunspot and continued to wave the stick, "Twelve times, one time."

The onlookers were unwilling and hesitant to discuss. For most people, ten taels of silver was too extravagant, and not many people were willing to exchange ten taels of silver for a slim chance.

But there are five thousand taels of lottery, and there are not many people who can resist such a big temptation.

Soon someone stood up and threw ten taels of silver into the glazed cup. This time, he moved faster than the previous businessmen, as if he dropped the chess piece without thinking.

Is this a master?

The onlookers couldn't help holding their breath, looking forward to the moment when the lights came on.

Unfortunately, the lights were still off.

"Cut." The man flicked his sleeves, "Is it true? Can it be lit? It's not a lie, is it?"

The crowd of onlookers immediately cut their voices.

It turned out to be a Mongolian.

"What's the matter? No way." The man snorted, "Isn't this just gambling."

Yes, this is gambling.

It's just that the gambling is elegant, the gambling capital is also large, and of course the amount of winning is also large.

The eyes of the onlookers fell on the lantern, which was dark like a bottomless cave, which made people fear but also wanted to grasp the treasure hidden inside.

…………………………………….

"Go and have a look."

The people on the street started to run again, knocking the young people who were passing through them tottering, and some people's lanterns were even knocked down.

"What are you doing? Hasn't that paralyzed man come home yet?" A young man said displeasedly.

"Go and have a look, there is a very powerful lantern over there, and whoever can light it can get a lot of money." The person running past replied enthusiastically.

Can you get a lot of money by lighting lanterns? Is it difficult to order lanterns? It's interesting.

Several young people looked at each other.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Ning Yunzhao said.

This was too disappointing, and was immediately rejected by his companions.

"Now is the best time, how can we go back." They said, hugging him and following the crowd without any explanation.

For the Lantern Festival, this is the best time, but it is not good for Ning Yunzhao, because such a thing happened just now.

He looked down at his hand, he was still holding the lantern that the girl stuffed into him, he was a little inexplicably nervous when he saw this lantern.

This is certainly not because he, a young man carrying a lantern like a woman, would be regarded as a sissy. Look at his companions, not only holding lanterns in their hands but also on their shoulders, staggering through the streets.

Today is the Lantern Festival, everyone can do this, especially if they are still young people in high spirits, they are at the age that should be romantic.

Ning Yunzhao was nervous because he didn't know what to do with the lantern.

He thought about throwing this lantern away, or passing it on to others.

But I feel that this is not good, and I am a little bit reluctant.

That game of blindfold chess was so exciting that he even felt that he might not be able to meet it again in this life.

But if we get acquainted with that girl, we should still be able to fight like this.

Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but slightly heat up.

But if that woman wants to get acquainted with him in that way, it will disappoint him again.

Whether it's talking about the officialdom with his uncle, or socializing with classmates and friends, Ning Yunzhao can handle it with ease, but he didn't expect to be embarrassed by a lantern at this time.
