In the small building, the young man in Tsing Yi looked at the rugged man laughing on the ring in the distance. He couldn't help but press his forehead and sighed helplessly.
After Jiuer stepped down, the second and third place in the third-rate martial arts competition were quickly selected. It is worth mentioning that although Madman Liu was injured, he still easily solved everyone and won the second place.
Then the second-rate martial arts fight began.
The competition between the second-rate masters was even more exciting. After playing more than ten games in a row, a woman at the top of the second-rate ranks stood up on the stage, eliminated seventeen people in a row, and won the first place in the second-rate.
A short man with the same strength was not as lucky as Madman Liu. He did not win the first place. When he was fighting for the second place, he was knocked down by several people in a wheel battle. He thought he could keep the third place, but he suddenly rushed out.
Here comes a man. The short man must be stronger than the rugged man. Unfortunately, he fought several games in a row and his physical strength was already exhausted. However, the latter maintained his full condition and in the end only took away one injury and the fourth place.
Cheng Tie quickly walked back to the box holding the 300 taels of silver that was awarded to the third place, and handed 50 taels of it to Tang Ji: "Brother Tang, although I didn't get the first place, I didn't let you do it either.
Losing money."
"You have completely embarrassed me." Tang Ji glared at him, took the money and put it in his sleeve.
Cheng Tiehan smiled and touched his head: "Hehe, it's not what the Ye Family Master said, calculation is also a skill."
Ye Xiao had already practiced "Little Windmill" and was sitting on the seat chatting with Su Qing. When he heard his words, he gave a thumbs up: "Brother Cheng, you are very good."
Although Tang Ji felt ashamed of Cheng Tie's behavior, he was still relatively happy. Jiu'er won the first place and broke through to the second place. Cheng Tie got to the third place when he was the sixth, and he won three thousand through gambling.
Five hundred taels of silver, it can be said that the harvest is slow and the trip is well worth it!
He stretched out and glanced at the sky outside the house. It was estimated that the sun would set in more than half an hour. After thinking about it, he suggested: "The competition is over, how about we go?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao turned to look at him: "Brother Tang, are you in such a hurry to leave? Ye also plans to treat you to dinner!"
Tang Ji was about to refuse politely, but found that both Jiu'er and Cheng Tie were staring at him.
"Uncle, can Jiu'er watch the competition for a while before leaving?"
"Brother Tang, this kind of first-class competition is rare. Can you let me stay and watch it?"
Hearing the questions raised by the two of them at the same time, Tang Ji raised his brows slightly, and had no choice but to nod in agreement, and then sat on the seat inside, resting his head on the armrest with his hands, and after a moment he shook his head and closed his eyes.
...
Time passed slowly, the sky became dark, and a breeze blew into the room, causing the candlelight to flicker.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Tang Ji was eating crayfish in his dream. He had just peeled out a pot of lobster, and before he had time to take a bite, he was woken up by a sound. He exhaled two breaths of dissatisfaction, then slowly opened his eyes and found Jiu'er standing there.
In front of him, he stretched his muscles twice and stood up: "Is the competition over?"
"Well, the head of the Ye family has gone to give the divine sword to the winner of the first-class competition." Jiu'er nodded and replied.
Tang Ji slowly moved to the window, and then realized that it was already dark, but there was a lot of people outside the building, which seemed extremely lively. Although the moonlight was very thick, a huge brazier was set up next to the ring for lighting.
There were several figures standing, and Ye Xiao was delivering the frost sword to the hands of a tall man among them.
He looked away and rubbed his stomach: "Let's find a place to eat."
Shangguan Ming was also a little tired. If she hadn't been with A Qing, she wouldn't have come to watch such a boring competition. She leaned on Su Qing's head and whispered back: "The head of the Ye family asked us to wait for him to come back. The house is ready."
It’s time for the banquet.”
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly. Since Ye Xiao was so polite, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to leave now. Besides, the food in the Ye family is pretty good.
Not long after, Ye Xiao finished distributing the rewards for the first-class competition and planned to conclude the fight: "I am very happy that so many knights came to support my Ye family's martial arts fight today. Ye expressed his gratitude again. If you encounter them in the future,
If you are in trouble, you can come to the Ye Mansion for help at any time. I declare that the Ye family’s martial arts fight ends here. A dinner has been prepared in the side courtyard. If you are not in a hurry, you might as well finish your meal before leaving!"
Immediately, everyone in the stands stood up and said in unison: "Thank you, Master Ye!"
Ye Xiao smiled lightly, nodded, and left with his guards.
Next, the vast crowd passed through the long bridge and headed towards the yard in front.
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Ji and others followed Ye Xiao into the back hall of the main courtyard.
The back hall here gives people the feeling of luxury. You can see antiques, calligraphy and painting, expensive accessories everywhere, and even the curtains are made of silk. A red carpet extends from the stairs of the banquet in the hall to the door, the main seat and two
The dishes and chopsticks have already been placed on the guest seats on the side.
Ye Xiao knelt down behind the low table in the main seat and ordered the maid beside him: "Let's serve the food."
"Yes!" The maid replied with a salute and quickly went down to prepare.
When Tang Ji and the others sat down on the guest seats on both sides, delicious and exquisite dishes were served. Each table was filled with ten dishes, accompanied by fine wine.
Jiuer sat next to Tang Ji, looking at the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Everyone, please." Ye Xiao said politely, then smiled and clapped his hands.
The next second, several women wearing cool clothes walked in from outside the lobby and began to dance as the music played in the side hall.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ji couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes swayed from side to side following the dancer's movements, and he sighed in his heart: "Isn't this more interesting than the banquet in Princess Ling'an's mansion?"
Jiu'er pursed her lips and murmured: "Humph, I'll tell the lady when I get back."
Sun Yufu didn't want to look at the beauty. He opened the lid of the wine bottle in front of him, got closer and smelled it. His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly: "Boy, is this your Ye family's original royal jelly?"
"I didn't expect that seniors would know about my Ye family's fine wine. Yes, this is really royal jelly fine wine." Ye Xiao replied with a smile.
After Sun Yufu poured a cup and drank it, he said with satisfaction: "That's it, boy, give me two jars and I'll pay you later."
Hearing this, Ye Xiao chuckled lightly and winked at the maid on the side of the table.
Soon, a servant of the Ye family placed two jars of fine wine beside Sun Yufu's low table. The latter was not polite, took off the cork of the wine, removed the cork of the wine gourd, and raised the wine high with his left hand.
Altar, a long wine line is drawn.
Within a moment, all the wine in the two small wine jars was poured into the wine gourd.
Sun Yufu picked up the wine jar and brought it to his mouth, unwilling to let go of a drop of wine, and even reluctantly licked the mouth of the jar.
Seeing this, Tang Ji patted his head speechlessly, then turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Ye, don't mind, how much are these two jars of wine? I'll give it to you later."
"Let's forget it." Ye Xiao picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine.
Tang Ji was able to win several thousand taels of silver today thanks to Sun Yufu bringing the principal, so it was appropriate to spend dozens of taels of silver to treat him to a drink. He continued: "Brother Ye, don't be polite!"
"Really not..." Ye Xiao wanted to refuse, but when he saw Tang Ji's insistent eyes, he could only nod his head and said: "There are very few royal jelly sold to the outside world. A jar sells for 430 taels in the Ye family shop.
, Brother Tang, just give me eight hundred taels."
Tang Ji just took a sip of wine, and before he could swallow it, all the wine came out: "How much, how much?"
