Summary of the previous chapter: Wei Zhongxian failed to win both the lucky prize and the third prize...
Sister Cui took off the blindfold covering her eyes and took two gentle breaths.
She subconsciously glanced at the lottery slips on the table. Although they were folded, Sister Cui could vaguely see the traces of calligraphy on several slips.
Then Sister Cui put on the blindfold again and disrupted the lottery strips on the table again with both hands.
In fact, Sister Cui had already determined some of the contents of the remaining lottery slips when she was observing just now, so when she disrupted the lottery slips, she roughly placed the lottery slips with smaller numbers on the left hand side.
The lottery ticket with the larger number is placed on the right hand side.
Although she can't grasp everything, Sister Cui probably has a few figures in her mind. Next, she will draw them in a targeted manner. Furthermore, when she worked for Wei Zhongxian before, Sister Cui also heard more or less some things about it.
Li Zongyu's preference for numbers. Li Zongyu likes to choose from the middle whenever he uses anything. Sister Cui concluded that the lottery slips Li Zongyu bought from some people must be the numbers in the middle.
...
However, although the lottery slips were artificially separated, Sister Cui did not dare to conclude that the separation was accurate because she was blindfolded.
Sister Cui frowned and picked up the two selected lottery slips.
Ma Xiaoquan took the lottery slip from Sister Cui's hand, unfolded the first one, and said: "The next one is the second prize. Well, the first winning number of the second prize is..."
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately drawled his voice, making everyone nervous.
Wei Zhongxian was also a little nervous, and he couldn't help but grab Li Zongyu's arm.
Li Zongyu was even more nervous. He didn't win the third prize, so he had to have a chance to win the second prize, right?
"Number 16!" Ma Xiaoquan turned the lottery slip in his hand and presented it in front of everyone.
"It's me, it's me." A fat man suddenly jumped out from the crowd, jumped forward with a dance, and shook off the lottery in his hand.
Ma Xiaoquan took the paper and looked at it, nodded and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother, you won the second prize. According to the rules, you can play in Haoyuexuan for five days. Go ahead and have a good time.
"This fat brother, how much did you spend on buying my ice cubes?"
"Hehe, not much, fifty-two taels! Hehe!"
Fifty-two taels is not a small amount, but looking at the fat man's proud expression, Ma Xiaoquan knew that this guy must be a rich or noble guy.
Even so, Ma Xiaoquan still emphasized the price list of Haoyue Xuan: "Well, fifty-two taels is quite a lot, but if you have a good time at Hao Yuexuan, it will cost more than a hundred taels in one day, brother.
Ah, you can play for five days, not bad."
"Hehe, thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The fat man chuckled and retreated.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, hummed, and said: "Don't worry, everyone. There are two second-class prizes, one just now, and now there is one more here. Well, the second second-class winner has already been
It’s in my hands, do you want to know who it is?”
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "Ma Xiaoquan, stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't expect Eunuch Wei to be so anxious. Okay, I'll draw the lottery then!" After that, Ma Xiaoquan unfolded the lottery ticket in his hand and presented it in front of everyone.
An old white man standing at the front squinted his eyes and looked forward, and said happily: "No. 47? It's me, it's me, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at the white old man and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This old man looked a little unsteady. He was just playing with women. He was really desperate.
"Is it you?" Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise.
Old Man Bai nodded: "It's me, it's me. I spent a lot of money to buy this. Sir, please see, this is my signature."
Ma Xiaoquan knelt down and took a look. Sure enough, the old man was holding No. 47.
"Well, it's indeed you. Okay, let's go play. You have to be careful not to get winded right away!" Ma Xiaoquan warned.
The scene burst into laughter, but old man Bai waved his hand: "Don't worry, sir, old man, I am still as strong as ever!"
...
The second prize was also over, and Wei Zhongxian still didn't win.
Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Wei Zhongxian became a little anxious.
The emperor had previously ordered Wei Zhongxian to "play for him", so the implication of the emperor's words was that he had to make a fortune.
Wei Zhongxian scratched his scalp vigorously and looked up at Ma Xiaoquan, who was standing on the table and talking non-stop. He was so angry.
Wei Zhongxian called Li Zongyu over and complained: "What kind of lottery tickets did you choose? Why didn't you win any of them? Go buy it again. If there are any that are not for sale, just grab them!"
After receiving Master Wei's order, Li Zongyu naturally let go and prepared to do something big, but... he just made a big move to buy the lottery ticket, and many people present saw it, so he didn't wait for him to take action.
, the spectators and patrons who still had the scrolls hid the scrips in their hands.
The venue was too crowded, and it was impossible for Li Zongyu to write down all the tickets in a short while, so in a short period of time, he only used coercion and inducement to get the five or six tickets that were written down nearby.
At this time, the final prize, the first prize, was about to be drawn. Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu still did not give up and made their final resistance.
Ma Xiaoquan ignored these two people, because when they were distracted, Sister Cui had already made a very hidden gesture to him, that is, Sister Cui was about to win the first prize, which would be number 1.
The first person to buy "Smart Ice" spent fifty pennies.
The scene gradually became quiet, and everyone was waiting for the final lottery results. Sister Cui also mixed up the lottery slips on the table in an orderly manner. It seemed that she was playing with the elephant like a blind man, but in fact, Sister Cui still had a piece of paper under her hand.
The lottery ticket, needless to say, this lottery ticket is exactly the number one ticket that has been prepared for a long time.
When Sister Cui was almost done, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Attention, the first prize is about to be drawn. If you are interested, you can count down the five numbers with me...
Five…four…”
When Ma Xiaoquan started shouting "three", everyone in the venue began to count down with him.
"Three...two...yi..."
As the sound of "yi" fell, Sister Cui also pulled out a lottery ticket "inopportunely". Her movements were so fast that even the person standing at the front did not notice that she actually drew the lottery ticket from the palm of her hand.
strip.
Sister Cui's eyes were still blindfolded, but now she seemed to have gotten used to it, so she skillfully unfolded the lottery ticket in her hand and presented it to everyone.
