C33 Have You Taken a Fancy to Courtesan Belle

When he returned to the antechamber, the young lady serving Xiao Xiang had already brought the folded piece of paper with the answers written on it onto the stage, and handed it to Yan Shi Niang.

After receiving the final answer, Yan Shi Niang rang the gong that the sturdy man next to her lifted up. The people around the stage immediately quietened down, and everyone's gaze gathered on the stage from all directions.

Yan Shi Fei said. Yan Shi Fei had long since walked to an empty table in the middle of the stage, and said, "Next, please look down at the table in front of you. There is a 'Fang' embroidered on the table. If there is one, please take out the note from your bag from the person sitting at the same table who is not a participant. "

As she spoke of the rules, someone had already placed handfuls after handfuls of rose and a handful of clean chopsticks on the empty table beside Yan Shi Niang. Finally, a girl with a lot of lots in her arms came to stand by her side, and the people sitting in the pavilion also looked down to find their wallets.

Yun Shu saw the blue purse that was hanging in the middle of the table. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, a hand suddenly reached out from the side.

She tilted her head to look at Pei Hongqing, who was fighting over the purse with her. She felt quite puzzled and asked, "Grandma?"

Pei Hongqing smiled amiably at her with his wrinkled face. "Be a good girl and let go of me first."

Yun Shu immediately saw the malice behind his smile and quickly shook her head.

Could it be that General Pei wanted to mess up the matter regarding Young Master Xiao?

"Xiao Wan." Pei Hongqing's smile disappeared and a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes. However, he still didn't understand what was going on.

Just as Yun Shu was about to say something, the person facing them suddenly lowered his head: "Haven't the two of you taken down your pouches yet? Isn't the knot in her necklace too complicated? How about I come down to help? "

"No need to trouble you, young man. Although I am not in a good condition, I am still able to untie the ropes. However, my granddaughter wants to fight with me for the dishes, and only now did I smell the scent of the vinegar fish. I could not help but feel hungry and did not want to give it to my granddaughter."

Xiao thought about it and laughed, "So that's how it is. Since that's the case, why don't you give it to the old lady, Miss Wan? Anyway, I want to talk to little Miss Mian. "

Pei Hongqing's polite fake smile froze for a moment. After some thought, she suddenly let go of her hand and placed it on her waist, "Hey, hey, why does my waist suddenly feel so painful? I can't take it anymore. It seems I can't taste the vinegar fish on the table anymore." As he spoke, he leaned on his waist and slowly sat up.

With the sudden lack of obstruction, Yun Shu easily took out the pouch and glanced at Pei Hongqing, who seemed to be putting on a good act. She then opened the pouch and took out the slip of paper inside.

The number "36" was written on the slip of paper in delicate little kicks.

Yan Shi Fei was stunned. "Yan Shi Fei, do you have any problems with this?"

She roughly looked at the people who stood up and then said, "I'm sure that everyone has already seen the numbers on the paper slip. She roughly looked at the people who stood up and then said," I'm sure that everyone has already seen the numbers on the paper slip. As she spoke, someone had already split the dishes on the six tables into fifty portions.

"In order to ensure the fairness of the results of the selection, every time I draw a lot of lots, I will hand one of them to the lady beside me. She will walk around the arena and show everyone the signed number." Yan Shi Fei took out the first lot, glanced at it, then let the lady beside her take the first lot down the stage, at the same time announcing, "Number 11."

At the same time as those words were said, a burly man moved the chair behind him away and went up with the paper in his hand.

Yun Shu originally did not have much hope for something like this that completely depended on luck. After all, she had not won against anyone since she was young. However, after twenty or thirty people, it was still her turn. She quickly finished the six dishes of food, and without hesitation, she put the rose in her hand in front of the rouged goose.

When she walked down from the arena, she slowly let out a breath. She could only help out now, hoping that the conversation she'd heard wouldn't hurt Xiao's chances of losing in the first round. Otherwise, even if Xiao didn't say anything, she would still feel guilty.

In the end, Xiao won the second round with the other ten.

"In this second round, only three people have the chance to enter the third round. If he wanted to manage Yi Fang Pavilion, not only did he have to know how to eat, but he also had to know how to play. Next, the ten remaining contestants are invited to come up onto the stage and stand in line for the drawing of lots. " Almost at the same time that Yan Shi Niang finished her sentence, another box was handed to her.

The lot Xiao wanted to draw back didn't quite satisfy him. On the bamboo slip, there were three beautiful little letters written on it: "Shoot Sparrows.

Yun Shu glanced at the bamboo pieces that he had casually tossed on the table and could not help but frown. "What does this mean?" Could it be that the contestants were asked to catch sparrows to film? What was so fun about such a cruel matter?

Xiao wanted to explain, but Pei Hongqing beat him to it. "'Shooting sparrows' is a term used in the Northern Court. Actually, it's what we're talking about now."

Yun Shu nodded her head in understanding. Seeing the worry on the face of the person in front of her, she could not help but ask, "Is Young Master Xiao not good at strutting around?"

"I was in the palace... How could I, a man of seven feet, learn to play such time-consuming games for the entertainment of women? So not only am I not good at it, I'm not good at it at all. I'm afraid I'll definitely lose this game. If I'm lucky enough to draw a Go or throw a pot, I might even win this game. " Shaw mocked himself.

"A woman's trick?" Yun Zhui chuckled. "Young Master Xiao, isn't that a woman sitting opposite of you?"

Shaw hesitated. "What does Miss Mian mean?"

"If Young Master Xiao trusts Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan is willing to represent Young Master Xiao in this match." As soon as she finished her sentence, the back of her left foot was stepped on by Pei Hongqing who was standing beside her. She turned her head and cast an inquiring look at the person who had done this to her.

However, he acted like nothing had happened and pretended to be an ordinary old man. His hands trembled as he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of his tea.

Yun Shu, "…" General Pei's acting skills were not just for show.

Xiao looked at Yun Shu who was turning her head to stare at the old man, and did not understand what the "grandchild and grandchild" had meant by this: "Then thank you very much Miss Xiao Wan. As long as Miss Xiao Wan tries her best, it doesn't matter if she doesn't win this match." With that, he pushed the bamboo slip in front of Yun Shu.

As soon as Yun Zhuyi picked up the piece of bamboo, he heard Yan Shi Niang urge the eleven contestants who had won the first round to go up on stage.

As soon as she sat behind the square table on the stage, Yun Shu could feel the pressure from the countless gazes that gathered around her, not to mention that the person sitting opposite her was Yifan Pavilion's Miss Hua Kui, Hua Ruyu.

In the past, she just changed into men's clothes and went to play in the gambling house. However, the place where she hung the horse was usually the quiet place on the second floor or in the rooms in the backyard, so she had never seen such a scene before.

The four people who had drawn the "sparrow" were given three rounds to decide the winner and loser. Perhaps it was due to her nervousness, but after the first round, she only won one round.

At the beginning of the second lap, she was less nervous. However, Ruyu, who had not won much in the first round, had only won one round, and had won three rounds in a row.

After the second round, when the break was over, Yun Shu walked down from the stage and returned to her seat to drink a mouthful of hot tea. Shaw wanted to see her. He asked, concerned, "Is Miss Wan well?"

"Not bad." She put down the teacup, picked up the teapot and poured another cup of hot tea. "I'll do my best."

Xiao thought about it and nodded, "Even if I lose, it doesn't matter. In any case, I only came to pass the time. Miss Xiao Qi, on the other hand, felt that something was wrong with her face right from the start."

Yun Shu raised her hand to rub her face. "She might be a little nervous." After saying that, she picked up the teacup and drained the cup of hot tea in one gulp.

However, just as she put down the teacup, Pei Hongqing's hand, which had been placed under the table, grabbed her left wrist, which had been casually hanging by her side, and pulled it down. At the same time, he leaned close to her and said in a voice that was only audible to the two of them, "Could it be that you …"

Yun Shu looked at her superior in confusion. "?"

Pei Hongqing looked at the woman who was still sitting in the arena and suddenly felt that his "future" had become bleak. "You aren't enchanted by that ugly Hua Kui, are you?" That's why I lost six rounds? "

"?!" Yun Shu almost choked on the water that she had swallowed. Pei Hongqing was obviously worried that they were outside, and was afraid of exposing any flaws, so he did not grip her wrist very tightly. She easily pulled it out, "How is that possible? I just haven't played this game for a long time." Furthermore, how was Lady Ruyu "not good"? She seriously suspected that her superior was blind. Even as a woman, she felt that Miss Ruyu's appearance could be called a heavenly beauty.

"It's good if that's not the case, but don't forget that you want to help Young Master Xiao play that game on his behalf. The third lap is about to begin. After muttering with Yun Shu, he sat up straight and leaned back in his chair.

Yun Shu inwardly frowned. Why did General Pei suddenly mention Young Master Xiao? Didn't he dislike him?

She suddenly suspected that everything she had seen before was an illusion.

After the first round of the third round ended, Yun Shu finally regained the same feeling she had when she secretly went to the gambling den to play hookers. The following three rounds went extremely well, and in the last round, she even managed to get her hands on "One hundred and ninety thousand tubs that are white in the east, south, west and north" in the beginning. She directly sent Thirteen over and successfully helped Xiao to enter the next round.
