Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 32 Farce
After Sheng Changbai left, Gu Tingye wandered around again.

He wanted to see if he could hear something about the Bai family from other people.

"it is good!"

At this moment, a burst of cheers came, and Gu Tingye looked for the sound. It turned out that someone was throwing a pot, and many people were watching.

Just then Gu Tingye rang, and he promised Yuan Wenchun that he would win the first prize.

"These two brothers are good people." Gu Tingye cursed inwardly.

He originally admired Yuan Wenshao, but when he knew that Yuan Wenshao asked him to deliver the letter to a daughter of the Sheng family, he lost his affection for Yuan Wenshao.

However, he had to promise Yuan Chun, and he hadn't even found out the news about the Bai family. If he broke the contract, Yuan Wenchun would be in trouble if he publicized his identity.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingye squeezed into the crowd.

"Mr. Liu wins again. Remember to treat us later."

"Yeah, Mr. Liu might win the jackpot. Today is a big day for the Sheng family. I heard that the jackpot is very precious."

Naturally, the Sheng family can't make a gamble on the big day, but as the owner, he will also prepare some big prizes on such a big day.

For example, the person who wins the most chips by throwing the pot will get a gift, which is the so-called jackpot.

"Haha, thanks to everyone's compliments, if I win the first prize, I will entertain everyone at the Hongbin Building."

Mr. Liu smiled and bowed his hands to the onlookers, then took a five-tael silver ingot from his opponent's hand and said with a smile: "Is there anyone else who wants to join us for the next game tonight?"

The crowd of onlookers did not move. Mr. Liu is the son of the commander of the Yangzhou Xiang Army. He has practiced archery since he was a child, so throwing a pot will not trouble him.

Liu Gongzi is very famous in Yangzhou for pot throwing. In addition, he has won several games in a row. If he goes up, he will lose money, which is small, but he will lose face, which is big.

"I'll play a game with you." Gu Tingye stepped forward and said.

Mr. Liu took a look at Gu Tingye, saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, but he was a bit unfamiliar, and asked, "I don't know what to call Xiongtai?"

"My next surname..."

Gu Tingye paused for a moment before saying, "My surname is Bai Ye, and I came here with the Yuan family for employment."

"It turns out he's from Bianjing."

Mr. Liu thought about it carefully. There is no famous Bai surname in Bianjing. He said with a relieved smile, "Our rule is that no matter how many chips we win, we pay five taels of silver per game. Brother Bai, is there any problem?"

"no problem."

It's only five taels of silver for one game, and five taels of silver is considered a small amount in Bianjing.

"Then let's start."

After the servant took back the arrows used for throwing pots, the two began to compete.

Soon the two rounds were over, and Gu Tingye happened to win each round, giving Mr. Liu the illusion that he could win as long as he worked harder.

However, after seven rounds of competition, Gu Tingye won by exactly one margin in each round. Mr. Liu and the onlookers realized something was wrong.

How can there be such a coincidence that they only win one chip every time, it is clear that they are more than capable, and they do this on purpose.

"Humph!"

Mr. Liu knew that he could not compete with Gu Tingye, so he took out five taels of silver and gave it to Gu Tingye, snorted coldly and left with an ugly expression.

If Gu Tingye wins with more chips, he loses because his skills are inferior to others, but it is a bit humiliating that Gu Tingye only wins one chip every time.

If Gu Tingye hadn't come with Yuan's family to send him the job, he would have turned his back on him.

Winning 35 taels in seven rounds, money is still a trivial matter. Gu Tingye felt that when the news here spread, the effect Yuan Wenchun wanted would be achieved, so he had no idea of ​​continuing to play.

However, just as Gu Tingye was about to leave, an eight or nine-year-old child squeezed out and said, "I'll play a game with you."

Gu Tingye glanced at the boy, he didn't want to play anymore, but he couldn't refuse like that, he shook his head and said: "I have won too much money, it's not easy to carry, but if you want to play, you can, you have to bet with valuable things."

"This…"

Sheng Changfeng was a little hesitant. He heard that there was a pot throwing competition here and a five-tael bet. He thought that his throwing skills at home were pretty good, so he wanted to make some pocket money.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tingye stopped betting money.

"Okay, you can play with others, I'm not interested in playing with a child either."

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Tingye waved his hand and said.

Sheng Changfeng originally thought that Gu Tingye would compare himself to other people if he didn't play, but he was a little annoyed when Gu Tingye said that.

He took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "This is the finest mutton-fat jade, worth hundreds of taels. Do you dare to bet?"

Gu Tingye glanced at the jade pendant and said, "I've seen high-quality mutton-fat white jade. Your quality is far from perfect, but the bet is enough, so I'll play a game with you."

"Hmph, I'm talking as if you are sure to win." Sheng Changfeng said dissatisfied.

After one man had thrown ten arrows, he lost by a hair.

Sheng Changfeng glanced at the jade pendant with some reluctance. This jade pendant was begged for him by Lin Xiaoniang from Sheng Hong. If his little mother knew about it, he didn't know how to deal with him.

However, with so many people watching, he couldn't renege on the debt, so he could only hand it over.

Gu Tingye took the jade pendant and said with a smile, "Are you still playing?"

He saw that Sheng Changfeng didn't have anything valuable on him, so he asked. After all, he couldn't take the initiative to stop playing if he won.

"Play!"

Sheng Changfeng ran to the place where the betrothal gifts were placed not far away. Regardless of the guard's servants, he brought a hosta over and said, "Shall I bet you on this?"

"This is a betrothal gift, I can't bet with you." Gu Tingye shook his head.

If he wins the betrothal gift, not only will the Sheng family lose face, Yuan Wenshao will probably settle the score with him if he finds out.

"This is my elder sister's betrothal gift, what's wrong with me betting it? Do you want to run away if you win?" Sheng Changfeng was anxious.

"Okay, come on, come on."

Gu Tingye shook his head, and made up his mind to put some water later, let Sheng Changfeng win, and save him from entanglement.

However, due to nervousness, Sheng Changfeng performed abnormally, and even though Gu Tingye deliberately gave in, he still lost.

Gu Tingye: "..."

This was the first time that he felt depressed after winning.

Seeing that Sheng Changfeng was going to gamble with Pinlai again, Gu Tingye quickly stopped him and said, "As long as you stop pestering me, I will return the jade pendant and hosta to you. How about that?"

The onlookers began to persuade Sheng Changfeng to agree.

However, Sheng Changfeng felt that he could not keep his face and insisted on betting.

Gu Tingye said helplessly: "I don't like other things. If you want to bet, just bet on Beinyan."

The bedding goose must be brought with a woman when she gets married. Other things can be said to be good, but the bedding goose must not be missed.

Gu Tingye just wanted to scare Sheng Changfeng and ask him to stop pestering him. However, Sheng Changfeng didn't think so much at this time and agreed without hesitation.

The servants of the Sheng family felt something bad when they saw this, and hurriedly went to report to Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang exploded on the spot after hearing this, cursing and saying: "I'm going to ask that Lin Sushuang, what kind of enmity do I have with her, she just hurts me on weekdays, what day is it today, and sent another My son has come to pay me back Hua'er."
