My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 915

[Chapter 889: It’s better to be stupid (Second update, please subscribe)]

After Chen Jiannan gave everyone a try, everyone else was very calm, and they were indifferent to whatever the bald waiter said.

Fifty taels of silver?

Go get it, fool!

They had already spent five taels of silver to come in, and they didn’t want to waste even one more tael of silver!

At this time, someone asked: “Didn’t you say that Pavilion Master Mu, Master Wang Yuan and Miss Zhou are all here? Why didn’t you see them?”

“Yes, where is Pavilion Master Mu? I have never seen them. If I see them today, If not, I will refund the money!”

“Yes, refund the money!”

A group of people shouted.

The bald waiter was not afraid and glanced at everyone with disdain: You still want to withdraw the money that has gone into our pockets? Eat shit!

“Why, you are all illiterate? The banner clearly says that Pavilion Master Mu and others will participate in the Shangyuan Poetry Recital tonight. Has the poetry recital started now?”

“…”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then filled with indignation: “Okay, then we’ll just wait here until the poetry meeting starts!”

“Yes, no one will guess lantern riddles!”

A group of people united their front.

“Don’t guess lantern riddles?”

The bald waiter sneered, “Then you don’t want to participate in the poetry meeting?”

“Why?”

everyone said dissatisfied.

“Look, it’s Miss Zhou!”

At this time, someone pointed upstairs and saw Zhou Ziqiong, accompanied by the maid, slowly walking down the stairs with her skirt in hand.

The bald waiter rolled his eyes and said with a smile: “Since Miss Zhou is down, let Miss Zhou tell everyone, why not!”

“…”

Then, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Zhou Ziqiong. , Zhou Ziqiong felt bitter in her heart.

In fact, she came to this poetry meeting to promote the cotton-padded clothes of their Zhoujia Cloth Factory, so she accepted Shopkeeper Hu’s conditions.

The condition is that those who want to participate in the poetry meeting must guess at least one lantern riddle, which actually means paying one tael of silver.

The two taels of silver were then divided 50-50, with Juxianlou and Zhoujia Clothing House each getting half, but Zhoujia Clothing House had to give away a cotton-padded coat priced at 500 Wen.

From this point of view, the Zhou family does not make any money, but they just want to build a reputation and let those who get the cotton clothes see the quality of their cotton clothes, so as to build a reputation.

And as long as someone guesses the lantern riddle, fifty taels of silver will be given away, which will be shared equally between Juxian Tower and Zhoujia Bufang.

Therefore, the risk tonight is actually very high, and Zhou Ziqiong is also mentally prepared to spend a few hundred taels. After all, it is for promotion. How can there be any reward if you don’t pay?

If we follow the normal process, this rule should actually be stated by Juxian Tower in advance. I believe everyone can understand and accept it. But now Juxian Tower has unilaterally charged a high admission fee, causing everyone to be emotional. If she says it again, She was afraid that it would arouse public anger…

But she had to say…

Hey, she had to bear the blame!

…

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ziqiong spoke eloquently.

After all, she is a legendary woman in Ruzhou City. After Zhou Ziqiong finished speaking, everyone did not react too much.

However, everyone’s faces were not very pretty.

“By guessing a lantern riddle, you can participate in the poetry meeting? And you can also get a cotton coat from Zhoujia Clothing Factory?”

“That’s not bad! Besides, you may also win fifty taels of silver, so no one can steal it from me!”

“…”

Hall When everything was quiet, a sudden sound rang out.

When everyone looked for the voice, they found that the speaker was a handsome and handsome man, and many of them recognized him. This was the man who just picked up Zhou Ziqiong’s lantern!

No wonder he is so positive!

Zhou Ziqiong also knew that Jing Zhe was helping her out, so she felt deeply moved and quietly winked at him.

The next moment, Jing Zhe had already handed over a tael of silver, and then took off the note that Chen Jiannan had just taken.

Everyone knew that he and Chen Jiannan were together, so they thought he must be well prepared when he chose to guess the same lantern riddle!

Unexpectedly, he did not guess the lantern riddle as quickly as everyone imagined. Instead, he broke out in sweat, and as the bald waiter counted down, his face turned red.

Jing Zhe didn’t guess what the riddle was in the end, but he didn’t take it seriously and said cheerfully: “Haha, I guessed it a long time ago, but I don’t want Miss Zhou to give me another twenty-five taels of silver for free. , so I deliberately didn’t guess!”

“…”

After hearing this, everyone couldn’t help laughing.

Because of the way Jing Zhe looked just now, it was obvious that he wanted to guess but couldn’t figure it out. In the end, he deliberately said this in order not to be too embarrassed in front of Zhou Ziqiong.

The bald waiter snorted coldly, but did not expose him. Instead, he echoed: “Did you see it? This young man from out of town said that the lantern riddles are easy. Why are everyone still standing there?”

So, others joined in. After all, the army of lantern riddle guessers spent five taels of silver to get in. If they can’t participate in the poetry meeting because of this few taels of silver, it’s really not worth the gain!

So they have to guess no matter what!

The hall instantly became lively, while Jing Zhe stepped aside to hide his merit and fame. Chen Jiannan came up and gave Jing Zhe a thumbs up.

After all, the level of acting just now, blushing and sweating, and not letting others see it, is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

From the private room on the second floor, through the open window, everything that happened in the hall could be seen by Prince Yu and others.

“You look like a bitch, but I didn’t expect it to be useless!”

“I saw it yesterday, and he talks naively!”

“But, if you are not stupid, can you spend a few hundred taels to stay in a hotel?”

“Yes. , I guess my family has some money and is pretending to be knowledgeable!”

“There’s no point in pretending, you just can’t do it, you’re an idiot!”

Several people in the room mocked when they saw Jing Zhe’s poor performance.

Only the middle-aged man in official uniform narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He said happily: “It’s better to be silly, it’s better to be silly!”

“…”

Everyone was stunned, Hu The shopkeeper understood it first: “Prefect Liu has taken a liking to this boy?”

“Yes, he has taken a liking to him, but he already has a family…”

“Haha, what are you afraid of? As long as Prefect Liu takes a liking to him, we’ll wait for him Just act according to the plan, and he won’t be able to do it when the time comes!”

Prince Yu also said with a smile: “That’s right, Prefect Liu, don’t worry. Who else dares to stop us from doing what we want to do within the boundaries of Ruzhou City? Of course, you want this boy. As for his wife, don’t worry, I will help you solve it!”

After saying this, Prince Yu smiled with a wretched look on his face.

“…”

Magistrate Liu naturally knew what Prince Yu had planned. He had already fallen in love with that wife, and even said he was helping him. He was really thick-skinned.

But he was used to it, so he still thanked him: “Then I have to thank the prince for your help!”

“Haha, I should.”

“…”
