Xie Ying looked at the two people with complicated expressions with amusement. She knew that they must be feeling very uncomfortable, but she didn't care much.

She had already discussed with Situ Yuan that when they were going to publish a newspaper, they would need a lot of writers to contribute.

For literati, this is not only a way to make money, but also a way to become famous. There will definitely be many people who are tempted by it.

At that time, even if someone wants to cause trouble, they can let their writers curse back.

Soon, the emcee came on stage, announced the end of the competition, and invited the actors to perform.

This performance not only includes dancing, but also singing and music.

It made many people present laugh.

You know, many of them were reluctant to go to brothels and theaters to watch performances. For them, this performance was the first time in their lives and they would never see it again.

Xie Ying was also very happy watching the performance, and secretly thought that after returning home, she would let Lin Yuyao practice dancing and singing more, and then perform for her.

No wonder the wealthy and powerful in ancient times liked to keep opera troupes and singing and dancing girls at home. It was such a pleasure to watch such performances every day.

As Xie Ying watched, she couldn't help but take out the strawberries and start eating them.

After the performance ended and the actors left the stage, the emcee came on stage again and invited Xie Ying to draw the lottery.

This was mentioned when the tickets were sold. The audience would buy tickets and enter the venue. After the game was over, a lottery would be held. The person who was drawn would receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver.

When Xie Ying saw that she was going to draw a lottery, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and waited for the emcee to bring the lottery props over.

She designed the lottery props. Xie Ying intended to launch mahjong, so she deliberately made the props look like mahjong.

Use a white board to represent zero, and then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine tubes to represent the corresponding numbers.

More than 5,000 tickets were sold this time, with four-digit numbers in total.

In this way, Xie Ying only needs to draw four times to get the complete number.

You only need ten mahjong tiles to draw a lottery.

There is no need to make more than 5,000 corresponding slips of paper or other lottery props.

It not only saves time and effort, but also promotes mahjong.

Xie Ying felt that she was a genius!

After the emcee announced the lottery, a masked lady of etiquette in white sand came with a box of mahjong tiles and showed the audience the ten mahjong tiles used in the lottery.

Then the emcee announced the lottery rules.

The mahjong tiles are embedded in the box, and when it is held upright, the audience can clearly see the patterns carved on the tiles.

Of course, if you are too far away, you still can't see clearly.

To this end, Xie Ying specially asked someone to draw the faces of the mahjong tiles used for the lottery on paper, write words such as "lottery" and "one hundred taels", and use them as promotional posters, which were placed in several locations in the venue.

As soon as people arrive at the venue, they can see such promotional posters.

At that time, some people didn't quite understand the meaning of the patterns, but now the lottery started, the etiquette lady showed the cards, and the host announced the rules, and the audience naturally understood.

After the presentation, the emcee came to Xie Ying with a hostess. He first placed a large tray on the table in front of Xie Ying, then took out the mahjong tiles from the box, placed them face down, and shuffled the cards himself to disrupt the order.

Then let Xie Ying draw the lottery.

Xie Ying happily shuffled the cards again and then began to draw the first number.

Every time a number is drawn, the emcee will immediately call out the number, then put the mahjong back and reshuffle the cards.

The audience below were breathing faster as they watched, and they all wanted to know who the lucky winner would be.

The sound of mahjong tiles colliding when they are shuffled is therefore deeply engraved in everyone's mind.

When the emcee announced the last number, an audience member suddenly shouted: "Haha ...

When everyone heard this, they turned to look at that person, feeling both envious and jealous.

Although many of the audience here are not short of the one hundred taels of silver, the honor of winning the prize in front of so many people is really enviable.

The emcee quickly invited the man to the stage to receive the award.

When the man heard this, he immediately couldn't wait to go on stage.

It's just that the audience was crowded together to watch the fun, so it was not easy for that person to walk onto the stage.

I kept asking people to make way along the way and finally made it to the front of the stage.

But after he got on the stage, he couldn't help but get nervous. At this moment, all the people on the stage were big shots, but he was just an ordinary citizen. It was impossible for him not to be nervous.

Xie Ying saw that his clothes had become pale from washing, and it was obvious that his life had not been easy.

This reward of one hundred taels of silver was like a blessing after a long drought for him.

The award presenter this time is Jiang Er. After all, he hosted the competition and he also paid the one hundred taels of silver. It is reasonable for him to present the award.

What's more, Jiang Er came to Gusu with the intention of accumulating reputation for the Jiang family and Concubine Jiang. How could he be willing to miss such a good opportunity of awarding an award?

Before the award ceremony, the emcee praised Jiang Er loudly, explaining that the one hundred taels of silver came from Jiang Er's own pocket, and all the proceeds from the ticket sales and the tips during the audition period would be donated to the academy without a penny less.

After listening to this, the audience naturally had a very good impression of Jiang Er and lamented that Jiang Er was really kind and righteous.

Soon, the etiquette lady brought out a small box containing one hundred taels of silver. The lid of the box was opened, allowing people to clearly see the silver ingots inside.

Jiang Er asked the man's identity with a smile, then handed the box to the winner. He patted his shoulder with a smile, encouraged him a few words, and finally said, "If you have children at home, you can let them enter the academy when it is built.

Not only can students enter the academy without taking an entrance exam, they can also attend classes for free for seven days. As long as they can pass the examination after seven days and achieve excellent results, they can continue to attend classes for free.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was in an uproar.

"I can take the class for free? Is that true?"

"If the classes are really free, then wouldn't the academy be losing money?"

"The academy seems to be quite large, so it should be able to accommodate quite a few students, right? If all the students are free, how much silver would it cost?"

No one could believe that classes in the academy could be free!

Wouldn’t that be a bottomless pit?

Someone asked loudly, "Master Jiang, is it really possible to attend classes at the academy for free?"

Jiang Er smiled slightly, then said loudly: "All students can attend the class for free for seven days. Remember, it is for all students, and only for seven days!

After seven days, there would be an examination based on the content taught in the previous seven days. Those who performed well could continue to attend the class for free, while those who did not perform well would have to pay a tuition fee to attend again.

In addition, the college has student dormitories and canteens, which of course cost money, but there are exceptions for outstanding students.

The college will also issue some tasks to students, which they can freely accept and exchange for college points in exchange for accommodation and meals.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar again, and the discussion became louder.
