Reborn female match

"Oh?"

"There is a Cuju club in Quchuan, but we'd better go and see the Cuju team of the Langjun group of everyone. They have a large number of people and a huge momentum. There are always more than a dozen games a month. It is very enjoyable to watch." Geng Rong said.

"So much?" An Tong pretended to be surprised.

Geng Rong told her everything she knew, after all, they occasionally went to watch the Cuju team's games, and at the same time, they would spend a small amount of money to bet on the Cuju team they were looking for.

There are eight Cuju teams in Quchuan formed by various masters. The most famous is the ten-member team formed by Xu Shangying, the son of the prefect of Quchuan. The people under his command include strong servants from the Xu family, and some aristocratic families who have made good friends with him. His younger brother also has his classmates.

Then there was the Cuju team formed by the son of the county magistrate of Zhishan County. The brave generals under his command were also carefully selected, and there were not many defeats.

In addition to the Cuju team formed by the sons of these officials, there are also the famous families in Xiayong County and the Cuju team formed by the children of the Shen family.

"The Cuju teams of those merchants are, after all, weak and weak, so they often lose."

Unknowingly, many young ladies surrounded Shifang, and they expressed their disappointment with the Cuju team of those merchants. After all, they had also bet on them to win, and the result was not only defeated, but also a disastrous one, which made them still brooding.

"Then the opponents who bet on them are sure to win?" An Tong joked.

"Betting on the outcome is no longer fun. The most fun thing is betting on points. See which side gets the number. The more accurate you are, the more you win!"

"But, gambling games are always not very good."

"It's just spending a little money for fun, no one will play big." Geng Rong said, "But those gentlemen are not sure, and you should know that they have always liked to be competitive, and they must be divided." To make a difference, the bet money is also bet on a few or a dozen pens."

"Then there must be someone who sits in the village, right?"

"Except for those who have formed the Cuju team, they are not allowed to sit in the dealership. The rest of the time, the dealers come in rotation. So there is no need to worry about cheating."

Xu Xiangru pondered for a while, then whispered a few words in An Tong's ear, An Tong then asked: "If I go to see Cuju next time, which one should I bet on?"

Many young ladies were chatting and expressing their opinions, An Tong could only pretend to pick a Cuju team at random: "I just heard that the Ma family's Cuju team? How to bet on this Cuju team?"

"The Ma family...the talents selected by the Ma family are uneven. They only win one or two out of ten games. If they lose, they usually score three to six goals."

An Tong didn't expect that someone would go out of her way to analyze these things, she shook her head secretly, these little ladies really have nothing to do, and put all their minds into gambling games.

However, she also realized that this little lady could easily sum up the number of wins and losses of the Ma family's Cuju team, which must have been artificially controlled.

Although she knew that there would be collusion of interests among the Cuju teams, she never expected that the number would be controlled to a precise level.What if there is an accident and the number cannot be controlled?

An Tong couldn't get any answers from these little ladies, so he and Xu Xiangru quietly exited the stone boat and went outside for a walk.As soon as the two of them walked away, a little lady rushed over and called An Tong to stop.

An Tong turned around and felt that this little lady looked familiar.Seeing that she seemed suspicious, the little lady first reported her family name: "I am Erniang's friend, surnamed Shen, surnamed Chun."

"Could it be the Shen family from Xiayong County?"

Shen Chun shook his head: "There is some connection with the Shen family in Xiayong County, but it can only be regarded as a side branch of the Shen family in Taojiang. In recent years, it has gradually left the family."

"Oh. Did Miss Shen chase you out for me?"

When An Tong asked, Xu Xiangru glanced at her.Neither An Tong nor Shen Chun noticed her eyes.

Shen Chun smiled and nodded in greeting: "I see that Sister An seems to be particularly curious about Cuju, and I know that you must go and have a look if you have a chance, but I have something to say to you."

An Tong frowned, stepped forward to hold Shen Chun's hand, and said very kindly: "Miss Shen, please tell me."

Shen Chun's hands are like hers, very petite, and a little cold, as if physically weak.An Tong couldn't help feeling in his heart that Shen Chunguo was really a young lady from a wealthy family. She couldn't put it down because she was petite and soft like a boneless catkin.

Shen Chun was completely unaware of An Tong's thoughts, and was busy reminding her: "Sister An, if you go to the Cuju competition, just watch it, don't bet money."

"Why is this?"

"My brother was invited by his brother Cong to join his cuju team, but he found that these cuju competitions are not about competing with each other at all, but just for making money!"

An Tong pretended to be surprised, but suddenly understood where An Lan in her previous life heard so many things about Cuju, and it was most likely Shen Chun who told her.

"What's the trick in it?"

Shen Chun said: "Of course there are. Since ancient times, 'Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce', merchants have a low status and are despised by others. People who come from merchants were not even able to take the imperial examination more than ten years ago. Therefore, how could they be willing to compete with the prefect's yamen? The merchant's children make friends?"

"Miss Shen means..."

Shen Chun lowered his voice: "All this is nothing more than a trick used by merchants to bribe officials!"

An Tong was surprised: "Miss Shen told me, so I'm not afraid..."

Shen Chun said: "This matter is not a secret. Many people know it well, but they don't have evidence in hand, and they don't want to offend the family of officials, so they won't meddle in other things. I see that you are Xiaolan's sister. Tell me what you said last time."

An Tong understood: "I will definitely not go around talking nonsense." By the way, he also made an oath for Xu Xiangru, "She will not either."

At the end, An Tong smiled at Shen Chun: "Thank you, Miss Shen, for reminding me, I will definitely visit her in the future, and I hope that I will not be turned away at that time."

Shen Chunjiao smiled and said, "Sister An, you are really interesting."

Shen Chun has already recounted what An Tong knew in his previous life, but what he heard with his own ears is more careful and true than what he heard from An Lan.

Especially An Tong inquired about the gentleman of the Ma family again, and after learning about the virtues of the gentleman of the Ma family, he was very tongue-tied:

Mr. Ma's family is very capable. He helped his father manage the brocade village of Ma's family at a young age, and by virtue of his flexible mind and ability to make friends, he made friends with many descendants of the family.

But he has a lack of personal morality.

He first tasted love at the age of 13, and within a few years he developed a habit of beating people on the bed for fun. Several of the maids who were tortured by him were given away by the Ma family at a high price before the contract was over. .

Although the maidservant had no personal freedom during the contract period, it was a human life, and the Ma family couldn't afford it, so the Ma family man turned his attention to the private nest.He can offer a high price, so naturally someone who is not afraid of death will post it.

An Tong knew that Ma Jialang's private morals were corrupt, but he had only heard some rumors, but he didn't expect to know from Shen Chun that he was still a pervert!

An Tong didn't know why she came up with the word "abnormal". If she put it here, she would ask someone, because no one would know the meaning of the word.She wasn't supposed to understand, but somehow she did.

Thinking that maybe it was influenced by those letterheads.But let her say that using "pervert" to describe Mr. Ma's family is really more appropriate!

Presumably these squires and aristocrats look down on Mr. Ma, not only because of his background as a merchant, but also for this reason!Their family background is rich, and it is not worthwhile to let their daughter die for the money from the merchant.

However, Jiang Sheng'an would actually make friends with such a person. It can be seen that either his conduct is not good, or he doesn't care about these personal virtues when he makes friends with others—after all, many great people who are praised by people in ancient and modern times have no personal virtues. That's great, but this doesn't prevent them from making good friends with the same famous people.

An Tong looked at the thoughtful Xu Xiangru, and said, "Is there any clue to what you want to know?"

"No." Xu Xiangru spread his hands, "Where is Miss An?"

"Why don't you go to Jiang Sheng'an and have a frank and honest talk?" An Tong thinks that Xu Xiangru and Jiang Sheng'an don't look like lovers?Otherwise, why do so many things in a roundabout way?

But she also couldn't understand Jiang Shengan and Xu Xiangru, and she always felt that something was wrong when she was standing between them.

"Do you think he will tell me?" Xu Xiangru asked back. She could even think that the reason why Xu San was hiding it was because Jiang Cheng'an had told him not to tell others. This made it even more clear that Jiang Sheng'an had something up his sleeve.

But what can Jiang Shengan gain from her?

An Tong noticed that Xu Xiangru's attitude had changed, she wondered if the two had a quarrel?Although the two love each other, there is no guarantee that there will be no disputes between them.

Suddenly, she was very happy.

Because she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes again, she couldn't let Jiang Sheng'an or Xu Xiangru think that she was the one who ruined their relationship, so she didn't do much to interfere with their relationship.

Although sometimes seeing them getting along would cause inexplicable irritability and occasional stumbling blocks, but in the end it didn't have much impact, it could only be regarded as her own entertainment.

But if they were already quarreling, and she added fuel to the flames, this crime would not be placed on her head, would it?

"He must have something to hide from you!" An Tong said to Xu Xiangru sternly.

"I think so too." Xu Xiangru said.

Xu Xiangru was so calm that An Tong didn't know how to answer the conversation.

The two were speechless for a moment.After a while, An Tong said: "Forget it, let's go for a walk!"

Xu Xiangru didn't forget that she had another purpose when she came out. She bought a catty of salt and saved it for more than a month.Buy some needles and thread, and sharpen some knives and scissors along the way.

There are not many knife sharpening shops in the county town, and ordinary blacksmiths seldom take care of sharpening knives, so that people in the city often come to the knife sharpening shop to sharpen kitchen knives and hatchets.

The two of them turned to a place where low-class households lived together and found a knife sharpening shop, and this shop was crowded with people, An Tong was in a panic, so he played with a rusty horizontal knife by the side.

She said to Xu Xiangru: "There is a knife sharpener in the village, why did you go so far to sharpen it?"

"The knife grinder in the village went to attend his grandson's 'washing three', and it will take two days to return. Besides, we have a certain distance from Fuqiu Village to the county seat. It is hard to predict what will happen on the way. I have knives and scissors ready It’s safe to say.”

An Tong didn't argue with her, because the knife grinder saw her move his horizontal knife, and scolded her: "It's the government's knife, don't move it!"

An Tong curled his lips: "If you keep the government's knife in such a conspicuous place, you won't be afraid of losing it and being held accountable by the government?"

"What's none of your business?" the knife grinder choked.

An Tong's eyes widened, and he said: "You have a big temper! Xu Xiangru, compared with him, it turns out that you are so gentle and gentle."

Xu Xiangru looked at her with a half-smile: "Isn't it?!"

"shameless!"

The smile on Xu Xiangru's face gradually disappeared, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes became deep.An Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if Xu Xiangru was angry?But she seems to only say that she is "stinky and shameless"!
