Yutai Bi

Chapter 22 Bet 1
In ancient times, there were few entertainments, and this kind of activity was basically a grand event for the whole city to participate in, and the common people came out of the city.Not only that, almost all the music workers in the teaching workshop in the city came, and for a while, the stringed and orchestral music played in unison on the wharf outside the south of the city, and even maikos danced lightly on the high platform.

In the past three years, I have stayed in the quiet courtyard for a long time, and it is the first time I have stepped outside in a social place.This lively scene was mixed with laughter and noise, which reached Cen Sanniang's ears, making her feel unreal as if she had passed away.Gradually, the diaphragm seemed to be pierced by a needle, and Cen Sanniang's eyes showed excitement and excitement.She is standing healthy, life is just the beginning.She will integrate into the society of this era and live a real and happy life.

Under the cover of the big-sleeved shirt, she secretly clenched her fists.

"Third lady, I brought five hundred big money to my private house, and I will also place bets later." Baicao stood behind her and said happily.

Cen Sanniang was taken aback, and asked her in a low voice: "Can you still openly bet on Jingge?"

Baicao also answered her in a low voice: "It's natural. It's a gamble set by the state government. There are not many people who don't gamble. However, our mansion has its own dragon boat, and the old ladies will definitely win by betting on their own."

Cen Sanniang's eyes lit up, she quickly looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Go quietly and find out how to open the market."

Baicao sneaked out cleverly.

"Mother, that red boat belongs to our family!" The eldest lady told the third old lady softly.

There are ten dragon boats with colorful painted hulls parked by the river.This kind of boat was much bigger than the ones Cen Sanniang had seen in her previous life, and it could seat about fifty people.Each one is extremely ornately decorated.A careful comparison reveals that there are also differences between the ten ships.The men operating the boats on several boats were dressed in the same uniform, probably because the investors had money and deliberately customized the clothes.Like the boat in the Cen Mansion, not to mention the gorgeous hull decoration, the people on board are all wearing red tight-fitting short jackets, and they are full of energy.

Cen Sanniang's eyes gradually shifted to a boat flying a square-colored black flag, and she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Come here, take 20 taels of silver to add a lottery to our family's boat!" The third old lady smiled and immediately ordered people to place bets.

Betting on the opening of the regatta is part of the fun.The third old lady started, and the eldest lady and the fourth lady followed suit and placed a bet of twelve taels.

In addition to the Eldest Master and Young Master of the Cen family who were invited to the viewing shed where the governor was, there were the Fourth Master sitting in the shed surrounded by the old lady in the three rooms, the Third Young Master who was born to the eldest lady, the Fifth Young Master and the Seventh Young Master who were born to the Fourth Wife. Nine young masters.

The fourth master only sat with him for a while, then asked the third old lady for leave, and went to have a drink with his bird friends.

"Grandmother, Qiniang and I want to place a bet." Liuniang and Qiniang were excited and eager to try.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, and the three old ladies were in a good mood, so they told the two to take care of the girl, and they agreed.

Liu Niang looked at San Niang with a full smile: "San Niang, come with us!"

Cen Sanniang was about to refuse, Qiniang said softly, "Grandmother, we three sisters are going together!"

The third old lady turned her gaze at Cen Sanniang and said yes with a smile.

Why would Liu Niang and Qi Niang want to invite herself together?Cen Sanniang was vigilant, but Baicao hadn't come back yet, so she stood up slowly and followed behind Liuniang and Qiniang.

"Ah Fu, come with me!" It was Ninth Young Master Cen Zhilin who spoke.

The third young master and the fifth young master are already sixteen years old, and the seventh young master is also 15 years old. They are too lazy to join in the fun, so they each order their servants to place a five tael bet.
