Unlike Yan Yu who is new here, Xue Zhaoxia has lived in Fucheng for a long time and is very familiar with people.
He soon targeted the daughter of Mr. Yuan, the magistrate of Fengming County, who was also visiting the palace for the first time.
Yan Yu looked at Sister Xue, then at Sister Yuan and herself.
The three of them can be regarded as large, medium and small.
Yuan Ying is a very kind girl. When she learned of Xue Zhaoxia's intention, she agreed without any hesitation.
Counting Yan Qianchu, there are only four of them, one less.
Xue Zhaoxia glanced around, stamped her feet, and went straight to where the ladies from the civil servants' families were gathering.
Yan Yu saw her dragging Fang Zhixian's two daughters to the side and saying something, pointing in the direction where they were.
Yan Yu ran over quickly.
He raised his cute little face and greeted enthusiastically: "Hello, sisters from the Fang family. Our surname is Yan. Mr. Tian from Huju is my master. My sister and I came here with our master. We didn't go back to the county government office very much.
Conveniently, I missed the opportunity to get to know my sisters. Now it’s great. If we form a team together, we’ll get to know each other. Sisters, come with us. We from the countryside look ordinary, but we are very energetic!"
In order to convince them, Yan Yu showed her fleshy little hands.
"Look at my hands!"
Xue Zhaoxia and the two Miss Fang looked over together.
I saw that the little girl's palms were obviously rough in some places.
She introduced in a serious manner: "I have learned this from working since I was a child. Our hands are serious and capable. I will never let go of the rope. Sisters, believe me. Let's win that gold together."
When the bracelet comes back, it looks like plum blossoms, how beautiful it is! When you put it on in the future, everyone will recognize it as the lucky number from the Crown Princess’s Plum Appreciation Banquet. We are the only ones who have it and no one else has it. How envious they will be!"
Her eyes were bright and full of expectation: "My mother has never seen what a gold bracelet looks like. If we can win one back, she will be happy!"
"Mr. Tian is your master... Yes, your surname is Yan, and you are the one who goes to court..." Miss Fang Er played with the relationship.
"That's my uncle." Yan Yu said proudly.
The two sisters matched up with each other.
Miss Fang said: "But we have already made an agreement with others, so we can't go back on our word at the moment."
Xue Zhaoxia knew what was going on here best and said quickly: "You two sisters always have only one person, this time it's Lan'er, right? Then Xue'er, you come with us."
Second Miss Fang was still undecided, so Miss Fang thought for a moment and said to her: "Xue'er, go ahead."
Yan Yu took advantage of the situation and hugged Miss Fang Er's arm, and said pitifully: "Sister Xue'er, please help us, we only have one person missing."
Miss Fang Er finally nodded.
…
The five people signed up first and then had time to introduce themselves to each other.
Everyone talked about their ages, and the eldest Yan Qianchu was called Sister Yan.
Yuan Ying is thirteen this year, and Xue Zhaoxia is only eleven. Yan Yu did not expect that her height is still acceptable, but she looks a little anxious. Miss Fang Er said that she is nine years old this year.
Yan Yu reported that she was nine years old, but she was two years old and there was nothing wrong with her.
When Yan Qianchu heard her say that she was nine years old, she pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her eyes, and her cheeks were slightly red.
They were both nine years old. Miss Fang and Yan Yu exchanged the months again. Coincidentally, they both had birthdays in October. Yan Yu was on the tenth day of the lunar month and Miss Fang was on the fifteenth. Yan Yu narrowly won and became Yan.
Second sister.
Miss Fang Er became the youngest here.
Yan Yu naturally and smoothly changed her title and called her sister Xueer.
"Yingying, Xue'er, let's go on our own. Don't worry about whether it looks good or not. The most important thing is winning." Xue Zhaoxia was full of fighting spirit.
In the tug-of-war competition, the maids can stand in for the battle, but under the premise that all the ladies at the other end are playing in person, the other party also has to personally fight.
Xue Zhaoxia used to be indifferent. Her maids were almost the same as her. Anyone could join. But now they have to join the team by themselves. The two sisters of the Yan family didn't have a maid to take over for them. If they want to win, they have to
Unexpectedly, she knew the girls who signed up for the tug-of-war, and if she let them do it themselves, at least half of them would be eliminated.
She continued: "I will come to the back of the pier, so don't worry, you can pull me in front. I will definitely be able to sit down."
She clenched her fists, and her flesh bulged with all her strength, which was very convincing.
Yan Yu quickly thought about where to position herself so that she would be less conspicuous.
Originally, the most suitable position for her was behind the pier. When she fell back, she asked who could pull her up.
But think about your own strength, it doesn’t matter, you can’t fake anything.
…
The intense tug-of-war begins!
The first two teams to play, one strong and strong, showed their style and level.
It was an eye-opener for Yan Yu!
From the development of the tug-of-war movement in the previous dynasty to this dynasty, we have accumulated too much experience. From the timing of exerting force to the division of labor of each person, everyone is familiar with it. Even a temporary team can still exert a strong combat effectiveness.
Among them, the good players will first send a section, feint a shot, and then make a decisive move!
The ladies next to them couldn't hide their excitement and waved the handkerchiefs in their hands. The maids and wives behind them did not need to be reserved and showed a strong sense of participation. They loudly shouted the names of the maids who came on stage. Those who won cheered and those who lost sighed and talked back.
The rear cannon shouldn't be like this and that...
I feel it! Hey!
Yan Yu felt hot all over.
Dong Zhi understandingly explained to the Yan sisters: "We in Guanzhou have fewer rules, and the ladies are more lively than other big houses."
The main reason is that there are no real noble ladies.
Those with connections have long since left Guanzhou and gone elsewhere.
The civil servants were not of high birth, and the young ladies from the military attache's family were raised in a wanton manner.
"Sister Dongzhi, how do you place your bet? I bet our team can win!" Yan Yu saw a table over there, with maids from various families coming and going, and thought that was it.
As expected, Dong Zhi pointed over there and said, "Slave, please go there for the second lady."
"Can I deposit any amount? How do I pay for it?" Yan Yu asked as he took out his money bag.
"You can make any amount. In the end, only one team can win. All the prize money will naturally go to the ladies who bet on the victory. As for how to divide it, the ladies can discuss it themselves, or they can ask the accountant to help with the calculation."
"Sister, have you brought any money? Let's put it on deposit." Yan Yu said urgently.
Yan Qianchu was a little embarrassed. Others didn't know what was going on with the waiter, but she knew it.
"You can go on your own, eldest sister, you don't have to..."
Xue Zhaoxia listened to everything and admired Yan Yu's all-or-nothing attitude.
"Yes, let's all bet on it!" She said fiercely: "If you don't succeed, you will lose money. When you are weak, think about our private money and you will be energetic again!"
She pulled down her purse and gave it to the maid next to her.
The fat maid was also interesting. She didn't wait for her to say another word, as if she was afraid that she would regret it, and ran away quickly.
Yan Yu looked at her eldest sister helplessly. Yan Qianchu had no choice but to give her his money bag.
