Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

Since Xiaoyan was the eldest son of Duke Weiguo, he naturally sat on the main podium on the south side.

Tingyu told Qin Qiong that the seating position also had its own rules.

Where you sit is a choice.

Because there are stakes here.

"Bet? How? Where to place the bet!"

Qin Qiong immediately became excited when she heard this, because she was very poor now!

"..."Listening to the rain.

For various reasons, this place gradually split into three factions.

To the east is a gang of all-round talents in civil and military affairs, led by the Gao family of Duke Qing.

The Gao family was also a duke's mansion, but now it is the largest imperial merchant in the Wu Kingdom.

The talents they recommend mostly come from lower class families and the general public, so they are a bit mixed.

But they are very popular and are the group of people who can bring the most surprises to everyone.

Hehe... After all, not every family can produce decent talents.

The experts are among the people.

The west side is mainly composed of the eldest son of the left prime minister and the talented Lu, the director of the Imperial College. This side is mostly composed of candidates and scholars, and there are also many literati who have joined the left prime minister's school.

For many students from lower classes, having the opportunity to show their face here can be very helpful for their career development.

Therefore, they mostly participate in literary competitions.

To the north was a group of military generals, led by Prince Zhao, Marquis of Dingyuan.

They are also the bad boys at this kind of party.

But these people are all playboys from noble families, and they are all military generals, so you can only be angry but not say anything.

Luckily this was the place set up by the princess, and with the princess in charge, this group of people were just having fun here.

Nothing has ever happened here.

The south is the main venue, and also where the actual gambling takes place.

Most of the people sitting here are there to place bets and watch the fun.

This means that this place is also mostly occupied by female guests.

This place was set up in the name of the princess. However, the princess would not come here at ordinary times, and would only come when there were girls competing.

The person who usually sits here is the son-in-law Li Chengji.

He is the second young master of the Li family and the son of the Minister of Rites.

This Li family is the Queen Mother’s maternal family.

When Qin Qiong arrived, Xiao Yan was standing in front of the long table in the middle and chatting and laughing with a very sanctimonious-looking man behind the table.

Seeing Qin Qiong and others coming, he said goodbye to the man and walked over.

Then, he took them both to sit on the side of the main stage.

At this time, Mo Sang also came back.

Feng Qi and the other three sat behind Xiao Yan, while Qin Qiong sat next to Xiao Yan.

At this time, Qin Qiong had not yet completely recovered from his "anger".

So, she didn't notice the surprised looks of the people around her when they saw her sitting next to Xiaoyan.

"Are you going to end up here?"

Qin Qiong asked Xiaoyan as soon as he sat down.

"No...why are you asking this?"

"I heard the stakes are high? You're sure to win, right? I want to get some money."

"What do you want money for?"

"You're not..."

Qin Qiong looked at Xiao Yan as if he had seen a ghost: "Money, what else to do? Of course, spend it!"

"You're with me, are you still worried about having no money to spend?"

Xiaoyan was also curious and asked her.

“……”Qin Qiong.

"Financial independence is a must for contemporary women," she said in conclusion.

"is it?"

Xiaoyan looked at Qin Qiong in disbelief: "Is it you?"

"..."

Qin Qiong didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

The gathering began soon.

After playing two games on the field, Qin Qiong found that this way of gathering was a bit simple, but also very diverse, and people's participation was also very loose.

Basically, as long as you dare to do it, there will be prizes.

For example: the opening is a couplet, and anyone who matches it with correct grammar will be awarded a flower.

Then you can also take part in other competitions, and in the end whoever has the most flowers will get the first prize in this gathering.

And every flower has a head.

For example: the new purses launched by Yunxiufang.

In short, as long as you dare to take action, you will not return empty-handed.

Then, a martial arts competition would be more fun.

This is not a gambling arena, so you can't let others play for you, you have to do it yourself.

The martial arts competition mainly involves horse riding and archery, and of course, there are also battles.

But that is the form of a challenge, and it is only a fight of fists and feet, and it must be stopped when the time is right, with no casualties!

We have an agreement on this. If you maliciously injure someone during a fight, not only will you lose, but you will not be allowed to fight again in the future.

Therefore, many times the young masters would just go up to play around. After all, they were all from the Beijing circle, so it was not easy for them to really turn against each other.

This time, the show started with the host taking out a piece of calligraphy, or a fragment of it, for everyone to appreciate and comment on.

It would take some time for the calligraphy to be sent to the stands for everyone to admire, so Qin Qiong asked Feng Qi how to place a bet and how to calculate a win.

"Do you really want to make money?"

Xiaoyan really doesn't understand Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

The way to place a bet is to look at the opening betting situation.

For example: bet on who will win the game;

Bet on who will win first place today;

Betting on who can hit all the red targets with their archery skills today...

It mainly depends on what happens in each gathering.

Now, except for the first prize, the others have not started yet. Qin Qiong can only wait.

At this time, everyone had already read the calligraphy.

Finally, the host asked if anyone could tell where this passage came from?

Who wrote those words?

The venue suddenly became lively. Qin Qiong was not interested in these things, so she didn't look at them. She now liked the snacks placed in front of her more.

"Don't you want to win money? Why don't you go and take a look?" Xiaoyan asked her.

"Look? Look at what? I can't read, and..."

Qin Qiong tilted his head and lowered his voice and said, "I learned simplified Chinese characters. You have traditional Chinese characters here, which are difficult for me to recognize."

"Even so, you can still recognize words."

Xiaoyan also leaned towards her and whispered: "Besides, you must recognize that word"

"Ah...why?"

"That's a passage from the famous 'Tao Te Ching' in your area."

"What"

Qin Qiong shouted directly.

The people around immediately looked over, and Qin Qiong gave them a wry smile.

He lowered his head and asked Xiaoyan in a low voice: "What did you say? That is the Tao Te Ching? How come I didn't know you have this book here?"

"This is..." Xiaoyan was about to say.

Suddenly, someone on the side of the stands shouted at them: "Hey! This is not fair! I'm afraid Young Master Yan can't participate in this competition, right?"

Xiaoyan raised her head, blinked, then smiled, cupped her hands over there, and stopped talking.

Qin Qiong didn't understand what it meant and was about to ask Xiaoyan.

But he heard the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat at the back, who had just spoken to Xiaoyan, call Xiaoyan and wave to him.

Xiaoyan stood up and went over to speak.

Qin Qiong had no other choice but to ask someone to bring the calligraphy over for him to have a look at.

But unexpectedly, the servant next to her said to her coldly that their table was the young master's seat, so it was up to the young master to decide.

She alone...

"Girl, you should respect yourself. Don't break the rules!"

That contemptuous look...

Qin Qiong blushed!

She was almost mad to death again!

If Tingyu and Ye Luo hadn't come over to give her water and fan her, she would have rushed over and kicked the servant.

Feng Qi and Mo Sang were trying hard to hold back their laughter...
