People have thought about this aspect more than once, so Lian Yu is very sensitive to this aspect, and will make associations in this aspect if there is any slight change.
Huniu hesitated and said: "With his conditions, how difficult would it be to dare to take your idea from the landlady?"
Lian Yu tapped the scroll in his hand gently on the armrest of the recliner, "How many people can think of those who risk their lives and wealth by running into mountains and rivers like this? Just pick one out and put it in the world. They are all rich people, but
I’m still not reconciled.”
Huniu lamented: "That's right. We are already the first person in the Chaoyang Conference. We will not be short of money. If we are not satisfied, we will come to Tianji Mountain. I hope we think too much."
Lian Yu said with a smile: "If you think too much, you will know after you try it."
Huniu was confused: "How to try?"
Lian Yu smiled and said, "Give him a chance to get close to me and see."
Huniu asked: "What do you want to do?"
Lian Yu raised his hand and pinched his forehead, as if he had a headache or helplessness, "The young man from the Liang family in Haishi has been inviting me to drink, and it's not easy to offend me. It's not a problem to keep refusing. Just do it, everyone will come."
We are guests, let’s invite those who came to support us to the banquet.”
Huniu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
So just when Brother Yu Qing was thinking about how to get close to Lian Yu, there was a knock on their door.
Mu Aotie opened the door and saw a waiter outside the door saying hello with a smile on his face.
Mu Ao Tiehu asked: "What's the matter?"
The waiter smiled and said: "It's like this. The proprietress of our hotel is hosting a banquet tonight to entertain some distinguished guests. By the way, she will ask other guests to draw lots and the lucky ones will be invited to the banquet. This is not forced, it is just a notice. You see.
Are you interested in participating? If so, please draw a lot."
After saying that, he took a few steps back and gestured towards the corridor with his hand.
At this time, there were also rope boxes going up and down in the deep well of the corridor.
Mu Aotie immediately walked out of the door and looked around the circular corridor surrounding the deep well. When he saw other guests, the door was knocked open and invited out. Several waiters held a box and looked for the guests one by one, asking them to draw lots.
Of course, there are also guests who are not interested in this. After checking the situation, they go back to the house and close the door.
It is true that some people who can spend money to live here will not take the banquet given by the landlady of Shi Xinju seriously, which is normal.
Hearing that lots were about to be drawn, Yu Qing came out quickly. He was an expert at drawing lots. He first looked at the situation outside, and then looked at each other with Mu Aotie. He was thinking about how to get close to the landlady, but unexpectedly he ran into someone who had set him up.
A banquet is a good opportunity to get closer.
However, this opportunity must be determined by drawing lots, so it may not be a good opportunity.
Yu Qing was still a little confused about this, so he stopped the waiter who was about to leave to knock on the next room, and asked: "Has your inn ever done such a lottery before?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Not often, just occasionally. When the landlady wants to treat us, there are always a few times a year."
This is not a lie, the people below can't even figure out why the landlady wants to treat guests. It just depends on the mood of the landlady. Some things can be seen. Sometimes the landlady wants to treat guests simply because she is empty and lonely.
As for why the lottery method is adopted, it is because the landlady and the residents are basically not familiar with each other. Everyone who comes is a guest, so it is not appropriate to favor one and the other. The best decision is to draw lots.
Hearing that he had done this in the past, Yu Qing's doubts disappeared. If this was the first time, wouldn't it be a coincidence that they met just after arriving? He had been "ambushed" so many times and he couldn't even think of not being vigilant.
Disaster.
The lottery boxes were brought from room to room. When the guests who had drawn the lottery saw the results, they either closed the door in silence or shook their heads and smiled. In short, they had no communication with the staff, and it seemed that the results were not good.
After a while, three waiters who came hand in hand brought the box to them. The waiter on the left explained: "If you draw a white ball, you have not won. If you draw a red ball, you are respectfully invited to attend my boss's wife's dinner."
"
Yu Qing asked, "How many red heart balls are there?"
The waiter on the left said: "Five red balls and twenty white balls."
Yu Qing: "You want to invite the five winners to the banquet?"
Guy on the left: "Not necessarily. It depends on luck. The drawn balls will be thrown back into the box. Everyone has an equal chance. If all the residents go through it, twenty people may win the five red balls, or one may win.
No one has won, so just invite as many people as you win."
Yu Qing chuckled and said, "Your boss lady is really a sweetheart."
The boy in the middle shook the box he was carrying again, "You two, please."
The two junior brothers looked at each other, and Mu Aotie stepped in and said, "You are lucky, so come and draw."
This is really not polite and complimentary. The abilities of those in the Chaoyang Conference are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. Since we have decided to contact the proprietress, we naturally let someone like Lao Fifteen know how to draw lots.
However, after Yu Qing glanced at the lottery box, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. The whole black box was completely invisible. He had no idea what was going on inside and had no way of starting. His Guanzi Jue was useless.
Unexpectedly, the waiter on the right said: "You two don't have to be humble, as long as you are a resident, you can get one shot."
Since this was the case, Yu Qing was not polite. He reached into the mouth of the cloth ring, fumbled around inside and took out a yellow-brown wooden ball.
I had seen other customers drawing lots in the corridor before, so I imitated the pattern and pulled out the wooden ball in half on the spot, and I immediately saw the bright red coating inside.
Is it true or not? Yu Qing screamed in his heart, his eyes widened a bit, and he looked straight in disbelief. He slowly showed it to the three guys who came with him, "Is this?"
The three waiters laughed at the same time, and the waiter on the right cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, someone will come to invite you to the banquet later."
"That's good." Yu Qing smiled dryly and slowly closed the half-parted wooden ball.
Seeing that he hit the target as soon as he made a move, Mu Aotie looked at Yu Qing with a strange look in his eyes. He also couldn't believe it. He could also win? Thinking about the lottery draw at the Chaoyang Conference, he was convinced. There would be a draw in the future.
It was right to let Lao Fifteen take action.
As the thoughts in his mind turned around, he suddenly heard Old Fifteen cough dryly, and his eyes subconsciously fixed on Old Fifteen's movements, staring at the wooden ball that he picked up and put back into the box. He saw that the wooden ball was facing towards him.
There was a clear scratch on that side.
He immediately understood what it meant and was a little speechless. He thought he had no chance to go to the banquet. After all, he was unlucky. He didn't expect that Old Fifteen would take advantage of this.
With a boom, the wooden ball fell back into the box. Yu Qing, who had stopped, put his hands behind his back and stepped aside with a smile on his face.
With a crash, the black box shook vigorously a few times again, and then was sent to Mu Aotie, "Please."
Mu Aotie was not polite, he put his hand into the mouth of the cloth circle, and groped around quickly with his hand. Suddenly his gestures stopped, he looked at the three waiters in front of him, then at Yu Qing, and slowly pulled out his hand.
He took it out, took out a wooden ball, and then opened the wooden ball in front of several people. He looked down and found that the result was not unexpected, so he showed it to the three clerks.
I saw a bright red coating inside the wooden ball.
Yu Qing smiled happily and said, "No way, are we so lucky?"
The guests on the other side who were also knocked on the door and asked to come out to wait for the lottery stared at this side in surprise, seeming to realize something.
After the three waiters looked at each other, they all shook their heads in wonder.
The man carrying the box tutted, "There are so many people in front of me, but not one of them has won, but the two of them can actually win one after another. I'm really lucky."
Mu Aotie had no expression on his face, thinking to himself, he's so lucky, Lao Fifteen is just cheating.
After congratulating one after another, the three waiters asked the two of them to go back to their rooms to rest, saying that someone would come to lead them to the banquet when the time came, and then continued to look for the next guest.
After returning to the house, as soon as the door was closed, Mu Aotie immediately asked Yu Qing, "How did you do it?"
Yu Qing knew what his meaningless question meant. He spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I cheated on you later, but I was really lucky on the first move."
Mu Aotie was doubtful, and the look on his face clearly showed that he was still a little doubtful.
Believe it or not, Yu Qing himself didn't bother to explain. The key point is that even he didn't find this explanation very credible. During the Chaoyang Conference, he got the exemption card by luck without cheating. This time, he said it was luck. Anyone would doubt it.
.
Fortunately, Mu Aotie was not one to stick to the topic. Even though he had doubts in his mind, he didn't say much.
The black box for drawing lots was finally placed on the table in front of Huniu after visiting all the residents who were willing to draw lots.
After Huniu removed the board at the lottery port, there was a crash and the box flipped upside down. After being still for a while, she opened the box. Twenty-five seemingly identical wooden balls were left on the table.
Pick up a wooden ball and open it in half. Inside is a red heart. Turn both of them upside down on the table.
I picked up another one and opened it. It was still a red heart, still turned over and turned upside down.
After all the wooden balls are opened, there are no white balls at all, all are red balls. After being opened in half, they are all turned upside down.
Under the good light, she stared at each semicircle carefully and examined it carefully. She quickly picked out the semicircle with only scratches, moved it and put it aside alone.
She did not let go of the other semicircular spheres. After adjusting the angle and observing them carefully, she turned around and said, "Mrs. Boss, it seems we don't have to wait until after the banquet. Your suspicion should be correct."
Lian Yu, who was sitting not far away drinking, lazily stood up, stepped on the thick pile carpet with his bare feet, walked over with his waist twisted like a water snake, leaned over and picked up the semi-circle on the table, and twisted his butt
He sat on the table, twirled his toes, looked at the scratches on the ball with drunken eyes, and joked with a breath of wine: "Here comes another smart man."
Activities like lottery are indeed related to her mood under normal circumstances, but that is only under normal circumstances.
Huniu: "There will be one more gang leader for the dinner party."
Lian Yu played with the wooden ball in his hand and chuckled: "I have gathered the six gang leaders who participated in the 'Bronze Bird Martial Arts'. I think tonight will be very interesting."
