As Gan Ning brought all his sisters over, everyone finally came.
Wu Yuan always felt a little embarrassed when she was among that group of people. There were only so many aristocratic families in the world. No matter how bad the Gan family was, they still had a 600-year-old family business. It was really easy to build relationships. There was no one who didn't have aunts, nephews, or uncles from far away.
Seeing everyone coming, Chen Xi said nothing more and ordered someone to move the lottery box in. Unlike other lottery boxes, this lottery box had three holes.
"This is our special lottery box. The probability of drawing good things in each hole is different, so when you draw, you have to choose which one to draw from. Of course, you don't have to draw from it." Chen Xi said with a chuckle.
, “So you can ask the person who smoked first what they smoked.”
"Of course, because the drawn balls are not put back, the probability of drawing them also changes, so you have to think carefully about how to draw them. There are really things here that can guarantee a worry-free life, and of course there are also things that can make you independent."
Chen Xi smiled like a fox.
When saying these words, Chen Xi was also observing the expressions of those people. Some people were serious, some were light-hearted, and some were already thinking about how to get married.
At this time, four people raised their hands, and Chen Xi secretly sighed. Sure enough, smart people and well-educated people always have a fixed advantage.
"What are you four raising your hands for?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
Zhen Mi, Mi Zhen, Wang Yi, and Wu Yuan looked at each other, and finally Wu Yuan, as an outsider, spoke, "Chen Hou, I am not interested in what I am about to smoke, but I am interested in what you just said, and
You also said that you can smoke other things..."
A smile appeared on Chen Xi's face, "Tell me, what do you want to smoke?"
"Actually, I really want to say that I would like to select Marquis Chen." Wu Yuan said unceremoniously, without the slightest hint of shyness, "If you want to live a life without worries, Jinshan has the finger that turns stone into gold."
Chen Xi laughed. Others looked at Wu Yuan and could only give a thumbs up silently. They had to say that it was indeed reasonable. There is no golden finger in Jinshan.
"It's okay, I don't belong to the prize." Chen Xi said with a smile, "So let's change it. You have to make the designated prize understandable to everyone."
"I want the classic book you just mentioned." Wu Yuan said with a smile, but most people present were puzzled, and their expressions of understanding suddenly turned to disappointment.
"Are you sure you want to choose this?" Chen Xi said with a smile. Such a question means that there is indeed a way to beat Chen Xi.
"Instead of betting on luck, it's better to stop early." Wu Yuan nodded, and Chen Xi also nodded and asked someone to give the basics of game theory to Wu Yuan, "This book is for you. If you can't understand it, don't blame me.
Already."
"You three can come and copy at any time." Wu Yuan briefly browsed through the classics presented by the maid of the Chen family and then said to Zhen Mi and the others. Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen immediately stepped forward to read together.
"I won't talk nonsense now, and enter the lottery directly to avoid being caught again." Chen Xi looked at everyone and said, "Who comes first?"
The whole audience froze slightly. Seeing this, Jia Yun smiled and took a step forward, "I'll go first. Can Sister Yuan join me?"
Li You's eldest daughter followed Jia Xu's daughter up nonchalantly, and casually pulled out a small ball amidst the clattering sound. Neither of them were very beautiful, but they were obviously well-informed and courteous, and they were quite low-key.
Then Gan Ning's first batch of sisters came forward to draw them out at Gan Ning's signal. Gan Ning was a very discerning person. If nothing else, at least he knew that it would be good for everyone if Chen Xi didn't stay silent here.
With such a group of people taking the lead, and from time to time someone would open the wooden ball and pull out one or two really exciting things, the atmosphere gradually increased, and the people who smoked became more and more active.
Wang Yi and Jiang Ying looked at the women who were drawing the lottery together, and then looked at Chen Xi. She was basically sure that Chen Xi had not cheated. Although Liu Chan drew a tea set, it was indeed a bit of a trick, but it did prove that Chen Xi had not cheated.
"Sister, why don't you come with me?" Wang Yi looked at Jiang Ying and said, they both came here to have some fun during the New Year.
"Okay." Jiang Ying has a soft personality, so Wang Yi followed her after suggesting it.
Chen Xi looked at Jiang Ying and Wang Yi who had come over, calmly shook the lottery box, and then silently turned the lottery bucket in the box.
Before Wang Yi and Jiang Ying arrived, all the balls in the lottery box had been moved. Except for one bucket, the quality of the balls in the other two buckets was much better.
However, there is a saying that magical power is not as good as the sky. Even if you operate in secret, you can't beat bad luck. Seeing Jiang Ying put her hand down in the box where the mass of the ball has not changed, Chen Xi looked helpless. There is a two-thirds probability.
, that’s it, there’s nothing I can do about it.
Fortunately, Wang Yi and Jiang Ying came together, Jiang Ying pulled out one side, Wang Yi pulled out the other side, and then they both pulled out at the same time and opened...
"A sword..." After Jiang Ying opened the ball, she looked at the description inside and scratched her head. If she remembered correctly, this should be one of the most common rewards.
"Sister, what are you smoking?" Jiang Ying turned her head and looked at the small wooden ball that was also opened in Wang Yi's hand.
"A treasure that will guarantee your food and clothing." Wang Yi frowned and said.
"Well, you're so lucky." Chen Xi looked at Wang Yi and said, "You can get this kind of thing."
Although Chen Xi turned the pot, it did not mean that Wang Yi could draw the best thing. It could only be said that the probability of drawing good things was relatively high. In the end, Wang Yi actually drew the final prize.
"Ahem, let me announce that the first valuable treasure has been taken away." Chen Xi said to the person opposite, "If you draw 'a treasure that guarantees your food and clothing,' you can enter the second round of the lottery.
Every treasure in the second round is enough for the lottery winner to have a worry-free life. Of course, if you want to have a worry-free life, you must first enter the second round."
Chen Xi's words made everyone look at Wang Yi with a touch of envy, but Wang Yi looked at Chen Xi opposite him somewhat unconsciously, "I always thought that the only thing that could keep me safe was my mind. I was very curious about other things.
How can I ensure that I have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life?"
"It's just a way of saying that the difficulty of having enough food and clothing has been reduced to an extremely low level." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Even if you are given a golden finger, you will starve to death if you don't know how to use it. I don't blame you for that."
Wang Yi nodded and stepped back. Then a large group of sisters and sisters surrounded Wang Yi. They looked at the note with envy on their faces. After that, they became more and more enthusiastic about the lottery.
Then Gan Ning relied on the huge number of sisters, and one of them successfully drew the item. Later, Chen Xi's distant sister also drew this thing, and the last one was taken away by Sun Qian's daughter.
When Xin Xianying was with him, Chen Xi still chose a black box operation, but unfortunately his magical power was not as good as Tianshu. Xin Xianying drew a little red horse, and then changed it into a tea set with his senior brother Lu Xun.
Generally speaking, Chen Xi has done a lot of black box operations, but they are basically meaningless in the overall situation. If you don't play them for real, you can only increase the probability.
"There is still one last stone that has entered the second round. None of you have drawn it yet." Seeing that most people have finished drawing, Chen Xi knew that the opportunity for a real black box operation had come.
"Everyone Cai hasn't smoked yet..." one of Cai Yan's students replied.
"We haven't drawn yet." Wu Yuan raised her hand and said at this time. The three of them had sat aside to read game theory and didn't want to finish drawing so quickly.
While talking, Cai Yan also came out of the backyard. Chen Xi quickly put the prepared things into the black box. Now the ten small balls in the three lottery buckets are all the same. When Cai Yan finishes drawing, they will turn into another one. Approved, Cai Yan will not participate in the second round anyway.
Just as Chen Xi had estimated, when Zhen Mi and others saw Cai Yan appear again, they all took a step back and let Cai Yan draw first. Cai Yan did not refuse and casually took one and opened it, "The seal that stamps each book .”
"Thank you very much, Marquis Chen." Cai Yan had a clear mind and instantly understood how this was done. Others didn't know about the Yuanyang Turning Heart Pot, but it was recorded in the book Cai Yan had read.
Huang Yueying, who was standing with Zhuge Liang on the other side, said, "Kong Ming, I'm afraid today's lottery is just for the Cai family and the remaining two people. Although the previous ones were slightly behind-the-scenes operations, they are generally within the scope."
"This is also common sense." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "But Yueying, you actually got something like a golden hammer..."
Huang Yueying's face suddenly darkened, and she cursed Chen Xi secretly, "All the people here today are women. What on earth did you think of preparing this prize?"
Cai Yan's thing can only be said to be a small seal. Others who drew it may not understand its meaning, but Cai Yan knows what it means. From now on, every book in the library can be stamped as long as she touches it. Her seal.
Of course, this does not mean that Cai Yan will do this. She will stamp the same book once at most, because it is a private seal, and it must be marked that the book is written by her, or that the book belongs to her. In other words, Chen Xi sent the book "The Old Man Against the Age" to her.
"You're welcome. Most of this is your ability, and I don't count in it." Chen Xi said calmly.
Cai Yan nodded and said nothing more. She also knew that this was not a good place to talk, so she stepped back and then went to the inner courtyard of the Chen family. Cai Yan could also be regarded as the teacher of Fan Jian and Chen Lan, and most of the noble ladies were there.
I attended a class with Cai Yan.
In fact, Chen Xi is sometimes curious about whether Cai Yan has read some books that are above the forbidden level. If Cai Yan has not read books such as "Xuan Nu Fang", "Su Nu Jing", and "Zuo Nerve", Chen Xi himself
Don't believe it either.
After all, Cai Yan also let slip sometimes. She herself was at least theoretically proficient in this aspect, and at most she had never been exposed to it. But thinking about it later, Cai Yan had already promised Wei Zhongdao back then. With Cai Yong's style,
Maybe we should just give Cai Yan a bunch of books and let him study on his own.
But thinking about Wei Zhongdao's death before Cai Yan got married, it was indeed a scam. The Wei family in Hedong didn't know what they were thinking, but they didn't go to pick up Cai Yan. After all, she was still the mistress of the Wei family.
I didn't get married, but I wrote three letters and six betrothals, and my parents said everything.
"Zichuan, what are you looking at?" Zhen Mi was slightly unhappy. After all, Chen Xi was staring at Cai Yan's back without turning around.
"I just thought of something. Do you two know about "Su Nv Jing" and "Zuo Nerve"?" Chen Xi looked at Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen and said with a smile.
Zhen Mi's face suddenly turned red, and she walked past several cases to catch Chen Xi, while Mi Zhen had a confused look on her face. It was obvious that the difference between those who were about to marry and those who had not settled down was reflected in the moment. Zhen Mi
Mi walked up to Chen Xi and lightly kicked Chen Xi's calf.
"You gangster!" Zhen Mi said angrily with a slightly red face.
Mi Zhen was also confused, but she made a guess based on Zhen Mi's expression, and her face immediately turned red. It was obvious that Mi Zhen had definitely peeked at similar things. Sure enough, the Han Dynasty was more open than many subsequent eras.
"Okay, these are the only ones left, you can smoke them. Then I will smoke them for my daughter." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Just when Chen Xi was playing hooligan before, he finished the lottery box. Mi Zhen, a thin-faced guy, reached out and pulled out the lottery box without even looking at it. Zhen Mi watched Mi Zhen leave, and then gave Chen Xi a sideways look before pulling out the lottery box casually.
Got one.
"What are you smoking?" Chen Xi looked at Zhen Mi and asked. Zhen Mi carefully opened it and took a peek.
"I've entered the second round." Zhen Mi said with a smile. Chen Xi was dumbfounded. He was confused. "Hurry up and don't tell others. What kind of food and clothing do you want? Jinshan can still have my Midas touch."
Chengjin’s golden finger is very useful, so quickly exchange it for Mi Zhen.”
"Huh?" Zhen Mi was stunned, feeling both happy and uneasy, "You're not interested in Sister Zhen, are you?" But despite this, Zhen Mi still closed the wooden ball, and Mi Zhen's
Congratulations also came from the side, and the person who drew the ticket was "a treasure that will make you worry-free about food and clothing."
"What are you interested in?" Chen Xi said angrily, "If it weren't for your look that reminded me so much, I wouldn't have the motivation, and you would be the one blocking me more after that."
"Hmph." Zhen Mi snorted dissatisfiedly, "That means it's possible that Sister Zhen is pestering you!"
"I find that the way you look at things is a little weird." Chen Xi touched Zhen Mi's hair and said, "Mi Zhen, I may want to call you Mistress in the future."
Zhen Mi immediately twitched, thinking that Mi Zhen, who played with her all day long, served her tea and called her mistress one day. Zhen Mi felt that her mood at this moment was extremely subtle.
Then she turned to look at Mi Zhen, who was older than herself, and Lu Xun, who was younger than herself. Zhen Mi immediately smiled and said, "It seems quite suitable. Boyan, if it is as you said, I wish him a worry-free life."
no problem."
"But when will you marry me?" Zhen Mi changed the topic and looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"I really want to take advantage of your sister Zhen'er." Chen Xi smiled, "However, you'd better grow older, at least until you are fifteen or sixteen years old."
Now Chen Xi no longer cares about the age of sixteen or seventeen, and his age has been lowered a bit. Otherwise, if he really has to wait another three years, Zhen Mi will probably have too much resentment.
"We still have to wait another year!" Zhen Mi said very unhappy as she pressed her hands on the cases.
"No, it's two years..." Chen Xi couldn't be like this. After all, if Zhen Mi gets married, it will be as a wife, not a daughter. She still needs to be older and more mature mentally.
At this moment, Zhen Mi looked at Chen Xi with extremely resentful eyes. There are still two years left. How dare you, Chen Zichuan, say that.
