A lantern is actually more difficult than the meaning of the scriptures.
Ning Yunzhao really didn't know what to do, so he should go home quickly and give this lamp to his mother.
Children's affairs were never something he cared about, so he left them to the elders.
Ning Yunzhao was surrounded by his companions and walked forward. He soon saw the excitement in front of him and also saw the obvious lantern that could not be lit.
There were many people around, and the cause and effect of this lantern was immediately understood.
"This is gambling." A young man sighed, "This is the first time I've seen someone gamble so rationally."
Hearing that it was a game of chess, Ning Yunzhao temporarily put aside the discomfort caused by the lanterns.
"The lanterns haven't been lit so far?" he asked. "No one has won even 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 that others invested before." Another companion said, "Now the silver that has been invested is four to five hundred taels. It is really tempting to exchange so much for ten taels of silver."
Already."
Ning Yunzhao smiled.
"I think it would be more tempting to exchange five thousand taels of silver for these four to five hundred taels." He said, looking at the crowded lantern chessboard over there, "This temptation will become more and more attractive as more people participate.
It’s big, and the more people participate, the more the person who sets up the chess game earns.”
"No, everyone thinks that ten taels of silver can be exchanged for five thousand taels. It's a great deal, but five thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for ten taels of silver. It's actually a very good deal." A companion laughed, "This is just a common practice in casinos.
Tricks, disguised as chess games, become an elegant thing."
"This can't be regarded as gambling, so to speak, throwing circles is also gambling." Another companion said, and clicked his tongue twice, "But this person is so confident that his chess game will not be broken?"
"So the person who set up the game is a very smart person." Ning Yunzhao said, "My chess skills are great, my mood is also great, I have confidence and courage."
After saying these words, 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, did she come when she heard that there was such an endgame here?
As soon as the thought flashed across his mind, he couldn't help but raise his head. When he raised his head, he was stunned.
The bustling crowd a few feet ahead was suddenly overwhelmed, the cloud-like lanterns also faded, and only a girl appeared in sight.
She held her hood with one hand, revealing half of her face, and she was slightly tilting her head to listen to the words of a little girl next to her.
I don't know what the little girl said, but a smile appeared on her face, and the pearls on her earlobes also shone brightly.
……………………………………………
"Miss, I already have hundreds of taels of silver." Liu'er's face lit up with excitement, and she tried her best to lower her voice and said to Miss Jun.
She was shocked when she saw that the lady actually took out 5,000 taels of silver notes to make the lottery.
Didn’t the young lady say she wanted to come to the Lantern Festival to win the lottery? Why did she throw out five thousand taels of silver as the lottery? Did she want to compete with the Fang family? Let the people in Yangcheng see if the young lady is more powerful and generous than the Fang family?
"Why should I compete 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 young lady really came here to get lucky. No wonder the young lady said that the lanterns should be placed here. There are many people watching here, and there are more people throwing money.
Thinking that after the celebration on the night of the Lantern Festival is over, the five thousand taels of silver can turn into six thousand taels or even more. This fortune is much easier to get than competing for the leader of the lanterns.
"Young lady is so amazing." Liu'er said with admiration on her face.
"It's not that I'm good, this is a chess game thought up by others." Miss Jun said, the master is the most powerful.
Liu'er didn't have the same confidence in others as she did in the young lady, and she suddenly felt worried.
"Is it true that no one can solve this chess game?" she asked.
This remnant chess piece was obtained by the master from an ancient book. It was originally a remnant game. In addition, the ancient chess game was different from today's. The master changed it to the current 19-way game, which made it even more difficult. In addition to the fact that the master did not know about this chess game,
Naturally it is more difficult to solve.
Of course, there are plenty of capable people in the world, so it’s not impossible.
"Not necessarily." Miss Jun said, "It's just that I was opportunistic. The first thing I saw was a chess game, which attracted people who knew how to play chess, so I screened out some of them. Besides, Yangcheng is too small, and the capable people are not so good.
So much, and so little time.”
Sometimes it may take several days to solve a chess game.
Speaking of which, she has too little time, otherwise she shouldn't do such a thing. This kind of opportunistic thing is not good after all.
"Look, look, someone is going to solve the problem again." Liu'er said, "I'll go take a look."
………………………………
"Let civilization go first, and then we will go." A young man said, watching his companions squeeze in and put the silver into the glass cup.
"Maybe we don't need to go there at all, civilization can light up the lights." Another young man said with his hands folded.
"Anyway, we can't let Yunzhao go first, otherwise we will have no chance at all." The young man from before laughed and turned to look at Ning Yunzhao, who was standing at the end.
Ning Yunzhao smiled and did not refute or be modest.
"Look at how crazy you are, you're not humble at all." My companions joked, pretending to be dissatisfied, "That's a lottery of five thousand taels. Do you want to take it or not?"
At this point, everyone found it interesting. Miss Jun from the Fang family scolded Mr. Ning Shi that his worth was as good as the top card in a brothel worth 5,000 taels, and now the lantern's prize money is also 5,000 taels.
Is it such a coincidence? Maybe this lantern belongs to the Fang family.
Ning Yunzhao had outstanding talents and chess skills. The Fang family probably knew that he could solve the puzzles, so they deliberately used the five thousand taels of lottery money to humiliate him.
"Others say I'm worth five thousand taels, am I worth five thousand taels?" Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "And you calculated it wrong."
Wrong calculation? What?
The companions were puzzled.
"If I light up the lanterns, my net worth will become ten thousand taels." Ning Yunzhao said seriously.
The companions were stunned and then burst into laughter.
The sudden laughter of the young people here made everyone around them look over. Although most of them wore hoods to cover their faces, they could not hide their graceful appearance.
Ning Yunzhao is very familiar with this kind of stunning and envious gaze from 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 would also look over like everyone else.
I wonder if I will recognize myself when I look over.
Does the hood cover too much? Should I push it open a little?
But since she has a heart, she can still recognize it even if she is covered from head to toe.
Ning Yunzhao's eyes fell on the girl across the crowd of people.
She did not look over here, and turned a deaf ear to the laughter of the young people here. Not only that, she reached out and pulled her hat to cover her half-exposed face, as if to hide herself in the crowd.
Cheers erupted from the crowd in front.
This means that the lantern lighting failed again.
"So many people have tried it, so I don't believe in this evil. We all go one by one, and then write down the bad ones. The chessboard is so big, how can we still not find the right one?" someone shouted loudly.
said.
The young man who squeezed out of the crowd and walked out with regret also heard it and spread his hands to his companions.
"It can't be that easy, the chessboard is so big," he said.
These two sentences "the chessboard is so big" obviously have different meanings.
The chessboard has nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, totaling three hundred and sixty-one lines, which is similar to the degree of Zhou Tian. It looks so big, but in fact it is not as big as what you can see.
"What's more, we don't have that much time." Ning Yunzhao said, and he stepped forward, "I'll give it a try too."
Naturally, his companions had to make some jokes, accusing him of stealing the limelight and trying to steal money from them.
The young man's laughter naturally attracted people around him to look over, but this time Ning Yunzhao felt slightly uncomfortable.
Will the girl think that he is deliberately trying to attract her attention?
Just like the peacocks seen as tribute from the Nanzhao Kingdom in Xiyuan of the capital. The servants of Xiyuan said that when the male peacock is courting, he will open his tail and use his gorgeous feathers to attract the attention of the female peacock.
This sudden thought made Ning Yunzhao stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled again. He was not ashamed of it, and his mind calmed down.
He didn't mean to deliberately attract her attention, so he certainly didn't need to worry about it.
He just came to play chess, and she happened to be very good at chess.
I wonder if she has tried it?
Maybe I should ask her.
Although Ning Yunzhao felt that it was not good to take the initiative to talk to her, it involved a chess game, and the two of them happened to have played chess just now, so it was normal and reasonable to have another exchange at this time.
Forget it.
He won't think too much, what if the girl thinks too much. (To be continued)
