A lantern is even more difficult than Jingyi.
Ning Yunzhao really didn't know what to do, he had better go home quickly and give this lamp to his mother.
Children's affairs have never been his concern, so let the elders handle it.
Surrounded by his companions, Ning Yunzhao soon saw the commotion ahead, as well as the obviously unlit lantern.
There were a lot of people around, and the ins and outs of this lantern were immediately understood.
"This is gambling." A young man sighed, "It's the first time I've seen someone play gambling so confidently."
Hearing that it was playing chess, Ning Yunzhao put aside the discomfort caused by the lantern for the time being.
"Hasn't the lantern come on so far?" he asked. "No one has won once?"
"No, the glass cup over there is almost full of silver." The companion gestured with an exaggerated expression.
"I heard that if you win, you can also take away the silver invested by others." Another companion said, "Now the silver invested is four to five hundred taels. It's too tempting to exchange so much for ten taels of silver." gone."
Ning Yunzhao smiled.
"I think it's more tempting to exchange five thousand taels of silver for these four or five hundred taels." He said, looking at the crowded lantern chessboard over there, "This temptation will become more and more as more people participate. Big, and the more people involved, the more money the person who sets up the game earns."
"No, everyone thinks that it's a good deal to exchange ten taels of silver for five thousand taels, but it's actually a good deal to exchange five thousand taels of silver for ten taels of silver." A companion laughed, "This is just a common practice in casinos. Tricks, put on the skin of a chess game, and it becomes an elegant thing.”
"This can't be regarded as a gamble. If you say it like this, throwing hoops is also a gamble." Another companion said. Tsk-tsk again, "But this person has such great confidence to guarantee that his chess game will not be broken?"
"So the person who set up the game is a very smart person." Ning Yunzhao said, "The chess skills are also good, and the mood is also good. He has confidence and courage."
After saying this, a thought flashed through his mind.
I don't know how to compete with that girl in chess
Since she is so good at chess, hearing that there is such an endgame here, is she here
The thought flashed and he couldn't help but raise his head. Looking up, he froze.
The bustling crowd a few feet ahead suddenly submerged. The cloud-like lanterns also faded away, and only a girl appeared in sight.
With one hand on the hood, she revealed half of her face, and she was slightly turning her head to listen to a little girl beside her.
I don't know what the little girl said. A smile appeared on her face, and a little pearl on her earlobe also shone brightly.
…
"Miss, there are already hundreds of taels of silver." Liu'er's excited face lit up, and she tried her best to lower her voice and said to Miss Jun.
When I saw that the lady actually took out five thousand taels of silver notes as a lottery. She was startled.
Didn't Miss say that she would come to the Lantern Festival to win prizes? Why did you throw out five thousand taels of silver as a lottery? Do you want to compare with the Fang family? Would it be generous for the people in Yangcheng to see that the young lady is more powerful than the Fang family
"Why am I being generous with the Fang family? Do I have that much free time?" Miss Jun said with a smile.
Now she understands. It turns out that the lady is really lucky to come here, no wonder the lady said that the lanterns will be placed here, there are many people watching here, and there are many people watching. There are naturally more people throwing money.
Thinking that after the celebration of the Lantern Festival night, five thousand taels of silver could become six thousand taels, or even more. This lottery is much easier than competing for the head of the lantern.
"Miss is really amazing." Liu'er looked revered.
"It's not that I'm good. This is a chess game that someone else came up with," Miss Jun said. Master is the most powerful.
Liu'er didn't have as much confidence in others as she did in Miss, so she was a little worried.
"Is it true that no one can solve this chess game?" she asked.
This remnant chess was obtained by master from an ancient book, it was an endgame, and the ancient chess moves were different from today, so master changed it to nineteen moves, which is even more difficult, except that master didn’t know about this chess game, Naturally, it is more difficult to solve.
Of course, there are many capable people in the world, and it is not impossible.
"Not necessarily." Ms. Jun said, "It's just that I was opportunistic. The first thing I saw was a chess game, and the people who could play chess were attracted, so I screened out some of them. Besides, Yangcheng is too small, and there are not so many capable people." Too much, and so little time."
Sometimes it may take several days to solve the chess game.
Speaking of which, she has too little time, otherwise she shouldn't be doing this kind of thing, this kind of opportunistic thing is not good after all.
"Look, look, someone is going to solve the game again." Liu Er said, "I'll go and have a look."
…
"Let the civilization go first, and then we will go." A young man said, watching his companion squeeze in and throw the silver into the glazed cup.
"Maybe we don't need to go at all, civilization can turn on the lights." Another young man said with his hands in his hands.
"Anyway, we can't let Yunzhao go first, then we will have no chance at all." The young man before said with a smile, turning his head to look at Ning Yunzhao who was standing at the end.
Ning Yunzhao smiled and did not refute or be modest.
"Look at this madness, you are not humble at all." The companions joked pretending to be dissatisfied, "That is a lottery of five thousand taels, you can decide whether to take it or not."
Speaking of this, everyone found it interesting again. Miss Jun from the Fang family scolded Mr. Ning Shi as worth five thousand taels as the top card in a brothel, and now the lottery of this lantern is also five thousand taels.
Is it such a coincidence? Maybe this lantern belongs to the Fang family.
Ning Yunzhao has outstanding talents and chess skills, and the Fang family probably knows that he can solve it, so they deliberately used the five thousand taels of lottery to humiliate him.
"Others say that I'm worth five thousand taels, so I'm worth five thousand taels?" Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "And you guys made a mistake."
Miscalculated? What
The companions were puzzled.
"If I light up the lantern, my worth will become ten thousand taels." Ning Yunzhao said seriously.
The companions were taken aback for a moment and then burst out laughing.
The sudden laughter of the young people here made everyone around look over. Although most of them wore hoods to cover up their descriptions, they couldn't hide their suaveness.
Ning Yunzhao is very familiar with the amazement and envy of everyone. He has been used to it since he was hailed as a child prodigy when he was six years old.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but look in one direction.
That girl will look over like everyone else.
I don't know if I will recognize myself when I look over.
Is the hood covering too much? Do you want to push it away a little bit
But since she has a heart, even if she wraps her head to toe, she can still recognize it.
Ning Yunzhao looked over the crowd of people and landed on the girl.
She didn't look at this side, and she turned a deaf ear to the laughter of the young people here. Not only that, she reached out and grabbed the hat to cover her half-exposed face, as if she wanted to hide in the crowd.
There was booing from the crowd around the front.
This means another failure to light the lanterns.
"So many people have tried it, so I don't believe this evil. We go one by one, and then record the ones that don't work. The chessboard is so big, can't we find the right one?" Someone shouted loudly. Said.
The young man who squeezed out of the crowd and came out with regret also heard it, and spread his hands at his companions.
"How can it be so easy, the chessboard is so big." He said.
These two sentences "chessboard is so big" obviously have different meanings.
The chessboard has nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, making a total of three hundred and sixty-one lines, imitating the degree of the sky, it looks so big, but in fact it is not only so big as seen in the sight.
"What's more, there is not so much time." Ning Yunzhao said, and he stepped forward, "Let me try it too."
Naturally, his companions couldn't help but make jokes, accusing him of stealing the limelight and robbing them of money.
The young man's laughter naturally attracted people around him to look at him again, but this time Ning Yunzhao felt a little uncomfortable.
Will it make the girl think that she is deliberately trying to attract her attention
Just like the peacocks that were paid tribute by the Nanzhao Kingdom in Xiyuan, the capital city, the handyman in Xiyuan said that the male peacocks would open their tails when courting, and use their gorgeous feathers to attract the attention of female peacocks.
This sudden thought made Ning Yunzhao stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, instead of being ashamed by it, his mind calmed down instead.
He didn't mean to get her attention on purpose, so of course there's no need to worry about it.
He just came to play chess, and she happened to be very good at chess.
I wonder if she tried it
Maybe you should ask her.
Although Ning Yunzhao felt that it was not good to take the initiative to talk to her, but it was related to the chess game, and it happened that the two of them had played chess just now, so it was normal and reasonable to exchange a word at this time.
Forget it anyway.
He won't think too much, in case that girl thinks too much.
