Chapter 43 Fighting the Eight Immortals

There was a loud singing here, and before the Eight Immortals glazed lanterns were lit above the fence, another cry was heard from the other side:
"Dizi No. [-] Room, bet on it, fight against the Eight Immortals."

Immediately, the little guest came to the sky, and the voice of singing was like waves, one after another.

"Tianzi No. [-], bet on..."

"Xuanzi Room No. [-]..."

……

Accompanied by continuous singing, above the railings of the Tiandi Xuanhuang Yajian, the glazed lanterns painted with pictures of the Eight Immortals lit up one after another.

Magnificent colors shine through the bright candlelight, accompanied by the dreamlike woven gold and red yarn, making the pictures on the lamp more and more lifelike.

Today, the sons of the two great families in the capital have spent so much money for an elephant aunt, which has left the melon eaters dumbfounded.

But now, the nobleman hidden in other private rooms dared to play the fight with these two masters. The spectators probably had nothing else to do except to applaud and invite friends and companions to watch the excitement.

In this way, this small group of guests came, and within a short while, it was already full of gongs and drums, and a sea of ​​people.

But after waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper didn't see him continue talking. Lu Yunfan, who was already eager to try, couldn't help asking:
"The lights are on, why haven't they started yet?"

"Oh, go back to Second Lord Lu." The shopkeeper smiled, and although his voice was not loud, it calmed down the noise around him, "No bets have been made yet in Xuanzi No. [-]."

After finishing speaking, everyone followed the direction of his finger and cast their gazes.

really!

None of the eight glazed lamps above the fence in this private room was lit.

"What's going on? Who's there?"

"Isn't this delaying things? Occupying the latrine and not shit?"

"Yes! I can't afford you to come down!"

"Come down!"

Hearing the voice downstairs getting louder, the attendant from Huang Zi No. [-] room walked to the table lightly and said in a low voice: "Master, do you want to drive the people from this private room out?"

The man tugged on the sleeve with the dragon pattern on it, took off the jade finger and put it on again.

After a while, a hoarse and deep voice escaped from his throat:

"No, wait a little longer."

At this moment, Lu Yunce in Xuanzi No. [-] room finally let go of his grip on Lu Wanlan's arm:
"It's over now, I said I just slipped out in the chaos, and you must not listen!"

Lu Wanlan, who was hugging the pillar, smiled obsequiously: "Sixth Brother, I can't leave now, so you can play with me."

She knew Lu Yunce's worries, and this occasion was a mixed bag.Although there is no danger, but if others find out that she is a majestic Princess Yan, showing her face in Xianggutang, the good reputation that has been saved so hard may be ruined again.

Furthermore, the 20 taels of silver has not been settled yet, if a little more is added at this time, it will be even worse.

Seeing Lu Wanlan laughing, Lu Yunce sighed and sat back on the chair: "If you are discovered, you must not say that I brought you here!"

Every time he went out with his younger sister and caused trouble, the elder brother only knew how to beat himself up.

But looking at the posture and tone of the young girl's speech to the waiter in the shop today, she looks like a young man who has been in the romantic place all year round, maybe she is overthinking.

After a pause, he said, "If you lose in a while, don't cry to me."

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother." Lu Wanlan also sat down, "Maybe I can win some treasures."

Lu Yunce was too lazy to listen to the little sister's bragging, so he turned around and called the attendant in: "Go and light the lamp for the young master."

"Returning guest officer, you need to bet to light the lamp."

"Oh, take it." Lu Yunce took out an ingot of silver and put it on the tray.

"Guest officer, this..."

"not enough?"

"No, just a copper plate is enough."

"Ah?" Lu Yunce obviously didn't expect that this Dou Baxian sounds very powerful, but he only needs a copper coin to enter the game. Could it be that he has some shady reputation? This one."

The attendant saluted respectfully, then stepped forward and under the eyes of all the people, sang loudly: "Xuanzi No. [-] room, bet on the treasure, fight against the Eight Immortals!"

Immediately afterwards, a gong sounded, and everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to introduce how to fight the Eight Immortals, Lu Yunfan, who stood in front of the railing and looked at Xie Huaijin for a long time, turned around and walked in with a snort.

The individual visitors downstairs could no longer hold back their curiosity.

"Shopkeeper, tell me quickly, how does the Eight Immortals play?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Everyone! Please be safe and don't be impatient." The shopkeeper looked around and cupped his hands, "Please listen to me carefully."

"This fight of the Eight Immortals is divided into eight rounds. Each round has a question, and the nobleman needs to answer it on paper. Those who answer correctly keep their lights on and enter the next round; those who make mistakes turn off their lights and are eliminated. If you want to continue participating, your bet will be doubled , to rekindle its lamp."

"After the eight rounds are completed and all eight lights are on, you can choose one of the objects as the title as the lottery. The rest of the nobles don't need to be upset. Your bet today will be counted as the money for future drinks. Ke Yunlai never You cheat people out of money, just smile for Mr. Bo!"

After the rules were finished, everyone present was amazed!
I've never heard of this game before. Even if you don't get the lottery, you can still enjoy yourself and save your meal money in the future!
According to this way of playing, wouldn't this small teahouse make money and sell money?

However, Lu Yunzhao in the private room knew the way.

This action, on the surface, is Ke Yunlai's huge compensation.

However, in this way, they have sufficient cash, which can be invested in business to turn around.

And collecting the wine money in advance is also to win over these distinguished guests here, even if their wine and food are not as good as their own Tianfu Lou, they still have to come to consume again.

What's even more amazing is that this battle of the Eight Immortals almost gathered all the rich and powerful families in the capital, and the powerful and powerful people helped them build momentum.

"No wonder, this distinguished guest always hangs around here. Behind this guest, there must be an expert!" He casually choked on his tea, and Lu Yunzhao's face became clouded again.

"Fourth, don't think about that now." Lu Yunfan raised his legs as he spoke, "Let's join in the fun, maybe we can help my little sister get a good start!"

"Hmph." Lu Yunzhao glanced helplessly at his second brother, "Can it work with just you and me?"

"Man! How can you say no?" Lu Yunfan hated this sentence the most. Just as he was about to jump up and scold the fourth child, he listened to the shopkeeper below and announced the start, then hurriedly ran to the railing to watch.

Accompanied by the sound of a gong, four graceful and beautiful young masters stepped onto the stage.

"This first game is called Dou Ya. It's really a warm-up, so that all nobles are familiar with the rules." The shopkeeper said, clasping his fists in all directions. Only one person can make a choice to start the game.”

After hearing this, everyone rushed to get up.

But the shopkeeper ignored the young guy jumping up and down beside him, but smiled at the oiran of Huanyilou: "I wonder if you can excuse me, miss?"

The girl looked up and saw that Lu Yunfan had no objection, so she casually pointed to one.

The young master then turned over the hairpin paper in his hand, walked around the field with gentle steps, and regarded the words on it to everyone.

Lu Wanlan in the private room quickly asked: "What is written on it?"

"Oh, I can't read clearly!" Lu Yunce, who was hiding behind the red gauze, looked around, "The characters are too small!"

The shopkeeper immediately held the hairpin paper in his hand: "This is the four characters of wind, flower, snow and moon, and the girl chose the word snow."

"Gentlemen, please write down the nicknames of the eight snows." Then he asked the attendant to turn over an hourglass, "The timer starts!"

The gong sounded again, the nobles in the sixteen private rooms were writing vigorously, and the spectators on the first floor started whispering.

"What's so difficult about this?"

"Snow's elegant name, isn't it easy to grasp? I knew it was so easy, so I went up too."

Although the brothers and sisters of the Lu family in the two private rooms are not proficient in poetry and books, they racked their brains and handed in a satisfactory answer.

With the voice of the shopkeeper, "It's time!"

All the attendants went to the front of the fence and sang the answer.

Nothing more than that jade catkins, jade dust, Liuchu, Xianzao, Qiongying, Xuanhua, Yulin Yaojia, Tiangong Yuxi...

Although it is quite satisfactory, it is also a smooth customs clearance.

The shopkeeper clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, all of you are well-read poets and books, and none of the lights go out."

"So, let's come to the second round, the feast!"

As soon as the words were finished, sixteen young masters were walking towards the private room on the second floor, all holding a delicate blue and white porcelain bowl in their hands.

And in the Huangzi No. [-] room, the person who was playing with the jade wrench just now was already holding a stack of rice paper full of snow's elegant names in his hand.

Zhuo Zhuo's eyes quickly scanned the handwriting, but he didn't see any clues.

Just as the attendant was about to take it away, the extremely ugly words on a piece of paper happened to meet his eyes.
