Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 227
As the sun sets, the Mandarin banquet begins.

Banquet at Ningzhou Mansion, Wenhua Palace, Wenhua Palace.

It was originally a place where Confucian sages preached, but was later changed to Wenhua Palace by the Confucian Xuehai Sword Tower.

Although Wenhua Palace is under the name of Xuehaijianlou, it is not exclusive to Xuehaijianlou, but a place shared by the whole world.

Apart from this Wenhua Festival, other cultural events, such as the poetry meeting, piano meeting, and even the imperial examination, will be held in Wenhua Palace.

It can be seen that the importance of writing and ink here is even higher than that of the imperial Huangtian Tower, and it is a real flourishing scene of writing and ink, a holy place for writing and Taoism.

As the sun sets and night falls, the Ningzhou Mansion is still brightly lit. The literati who were shortlisted for the big test walked to the Wenhua Palace in groups, and those who were not shortlisted also came, and the Wenhua Palace also entertained them. Just don't enter the Wenhua Palace.

The Wenhua Palace and the Wenhua Banquet are the key points.

But the focus should also be set off.

Without the attention of the world, what is the meaning of this Wenhuahui?
What you want is to be famous in the world and known to the world.

Therefore, as long as you are a scholar, no matter whether you are shortlisted for the big test or not, you can go to the Wenhua Palace to participate in the grand event tonight.

Or make a background board of human flesh.

Even so, the crowd never got tired of it. A large number of literati went to the Wenhua Palace in groups. From time to time, the stars and the moon were surrounded by the favorites who were shortlisted for the big test and expected to win the championship.

And outside the Wenhua Palace...

"The surname is the surname!"

"Those who are on the list will pay ten for the first prize, one hundred for the second prize, one thousand for the second prize, and ten thousand for the third prize!"

"For those who are not on the list, the first prize will pay one hundred, the second prize will pay a thousand, the second prize will pay ten thousand, and the third prize will pay one hundred thousand!"

"Buy more and get more, buy less and get less, starting from a hundred dollars!"

Outside the Cultural Palace, many storefronts are shouting for business.

It's just that these businesses are a bit special, neither selling wine, nor meat, let alone daily necessities, food, housing and transportation.

This is a gambling file.

Hmm... To be precise, it is a surname gambling camp specially established for the literary society.

Those with the surname of Wei, the list of flowers, can be regarded as a different kind of lottery - Wencai!
The gambling stalls will rank the most popular figures who are expected to win the championship, and lottery buyers can choose whatever they want, and the odds are extremely high.

Especially for winning the second and third prizes in a row, the odds have even been pulled to the point where one loses one thousand and one loses ten thousand.

If it wasn't for the restriction that only a hundred coins can be used to buy a document, there would definitely be people who would buy all of them for one coin.

In this way, as long as you win one person, you can make a lot of money.

This is still on the list, and the odds of the unnamed on the list are even more exaggerated, even winning the third place in a row and even reaching a compensation of [-].

If you make a big bet, and you are not popular in the middle, you can definitely get rich overnight.

But this is only if, just an assumption, the probability of actual success is close to zero.

After all, people who run gambling stalls are not stupid, but anyone with a little reputation and hope will be listed on the list.

Those who didn't make it into the article list either didn't come to participate, or they were just pretending to be numbers. It is impossible to be upset.

Even if they are upset, they are only second-class and third-class, and there is absolutely no possibility of being the leader of the meeting. After so many years of Wenhua Club, there has not been a leader of the meeting who is not on the list, and the major dealers have lost everything.

"It's these people again!"

"The dignified Wenhua event was ruined by them!"

"No one came out to take care of it and let them do this kind of thing openly."

"Who cares, what to do, behind all these gamblers are various families in Ningzhou. It is said that even Xuehaijian Tower..."

"It's not just learning Haijian Tower, look at that shop, the shop of Huangtian Tower, my big Zhou Tian family also participated!"

"Okay, okay, throwing flowers into the pot is also an elegant and interesting thing. The Tian family has acquiesced, why should you get angry?"

"Hmph, I'll buy one too, just for myself, and let them lose everything tonight!"

"Oh, is brother on the list?"

"No, how?"

"It's okay, you go slowly!"

Looking at the bustling flower shop named Wei surname, although the scholars who came to participate in the Wenhua event couldn't see it, they didn't jump out to make trouble, and some even joined in the fun and bought a few.

"Look, look, what is this?"

Ziyan came to Meng Fanyin with two documents, and proudly showed them to her.

Meng Fanyin looked at it, and saw that on the two slips, the word Su Wen was written, and there were three lines below Su Wen, which were one of the first prizes, one hundred gold for text flowers, and one hundred for one compensation.

There are many kinds of betting methods for the surname Banghua. Except for the most basic ones above, there are also betting methods for single winners alone, double winners in a row, and three winners and single middle-ranked bets on leopards. The odds are also different. The highest It can even be paid out to one million.

What Ziyan is buying now is any top flower, as long as the person with the surname Wei wins any top prize in the three major tests, he will be considered a winner.

The odds are [-] to [-], Zi Yan bought a hundred gold, if she wins, she can get ten thousand gold in compensation.

Meng Fanyin looked at the two documents in her hand, but was also speechless: "Why are you buying this?"

"Of course it's Mr. Su who supports us!"

Zi Yan carefully put away the two documents, and then she said to Meng Fanyin angrily: "You don't know how hateful those bankers are, but there is no name of our Mr. Su on the list of papers, who clearly looks down on us. Sir, I will teach them a lesson and tell them to lose everything."

"..."

Meng Fanyin looked at her speechlessly: "Didn't you wear your ears in Huangtian Tower before? Mr. Su said that he would not participate in the Wenhua Club. How could his name be on the cultural list and they would have to pay for it?" No return, I think it’s because you lost all your money.”

"You do not understand!"

Zi Yan smiled mysteriously: "Of course I know that Mr. Su will not participate in the Wenhua Club, but if he does not participate, it does not mean that I cannot win."

"???"

Meng Fanyin looked at her, a few question marks popped up on her head, and then turned to pity: "Will Miaoyinshan's exercises hurt the brain?"

"You have no brains!"

Zi Yan rolled her eyes and said: "You really don't understand at all, from Yunzhou to Mengzhou, from Mengzhou to Ningzhou, as long as there is nothing wrong with our Mr. Su, there is no accident. It can almost be said that wherever others go, accidents will follow.”

"Um!?"

Meng Fanyin murmured, thoughtfully: "So..."

"So this time is no exception!"

Zi Yan smiled and said: "I have a hunch that even if our Mr. Su doesn't participate in the Wenhua meeting, he can still make something happen at the meeting. It's a trivial matter to win the first article of the meeting, maybe there will be trouble Turned upside down."

"Premonition?"

Meng Fanyin's eyes changed, and he stopped talking.

"Yes, yes, hunch!"

Zi Yan leaned forward, put her shoulders on her shoulders and said: "Little Menger, you can use swordsmanship, comparable to the innate gods of the Taoist school, or you can do the calculations to see if I am right, if yes, I will Going to raise again, I still have a few golden tickets in my hand, and the Qiqingmu is also worth ten thousand gold, so I bet it all, and let those profiteers pay and cry to death."

"..."

Just when Zi Yan was teasing and Meng Fanyin was speechless.

"Look, Luan Court is driving, Li Men is here!"

"The Luan court car given by the emperor, Mrs. Li is here personally."

"It's more than that. I heard that the third lady of the Li family's direct lineage wants to catch a son-in-law at this Wenhua meeting."

"The second young lady of the Li family's direct lineage, isn't that the third sister of the current empress, the phoenix noble daughter of the Li family?"

"Is there such a thing?!"
