The title of the last courtesan fell to Le Haitang.
There are more than one such incidents, but Yu Linglong becomes more and more courageous. She just doesn't believe that Le Haitang's luck can accompany her for the rest of her life!
This time, Yu Linglong was the first one to draw Le Haitang, and she was not surprised at all.
But she was very angry!
This Le Haitang is really taking advantage of others! Why didn't God take her in? Shen Yizhi has a good impression of foodies, because she is a foodie herself. People are always more tolerant of those who have the same hobbies as themselves.
So she said, "Okay, I'll put your bamboo sign aside."
Many people looked at Le Haitang: This girl must be stupid. She didn't even want the chance she had. You know, the first person to draw the lottery has the greatest chance of winning the red ball! Yu Linglong continued to draw cards, and everyone came forward to touch the ball one by one.
But an embarrassing thing happened. None of the dozen people in front of them touched the red ball. They couldn't help but doubt whether there was a red ball in the box.
Or are they just unlucky?
When it was Bai Xiaoshu's turn, she was afraid that she would follow in the footsteps of the dozen people in front of her. She thought her luck was pretty good, but luck was the most illusory thing, and she might be affected by others and become worse?
Thinking of the fact that there was still a girl named Le Haitang who hadn't drawn a lottery yet, she said, "Why don't we let Miss Le draw first?"
No one else objected.
So Le Haitang was pushed to the front.
She has a very Buddhist attitude and thinks that winning is good, but not winning is also a big deal.
She casually reached into the box. Unlike others who fumbled around in there and couldn't make up their minds, she just took out the first ball she touched.
Red ball!
The arrival of this red ball is very exciting.
It convinced everyone that there was indeed a red ball in the box and gave them hope.
Le Haitang looked at the red ball with a dazed expression. She just won it like that? Yu Linglong couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. She looked so stupid. It was really unbearable to watch!
Doesn't she know how lucky she is? Who is she pretending to be?
To put it bluntly, Yu Linglong is feeling unbalanced, envious, jealous and hateful.
Shen Yizhi said to Le Haitang: "Miss Le, come to me and get the talismans. There are dust-avoiding talismans, diamond talismans, and blazing fire talismans..."
She briefly introduced the stack of talismans and asked, "Which one do you want?"
If it were someone else, they would definitely give priority to the defensive Vajra Talisman, the offensive Fire Talisman, etc. However, Le Haitang is most fond of the Dust-Repelling Talisman!
Wearing this talisman can keep away dust and dirt, and keep the body clean and fresh all the time. It is exactly what she has always dreamed of! Le Haitang said without hesitation: "I choose the dust-avoiding talisman."
Shen Yizhi took out the Dust-Repellent Talisman and handed it to her. Le Haitang took it happily and stroked it lovingly.
The talisman was cool and smooth, with a jade-like luster on its surface. Although she could not understand the runes on it, she felt her eyes cleared and her mind felt peaceful as soon as she saw it.
"Thank you, Master Shen!" Le Haitang thanked Shen Yizhi sincerely.
Shen Yizhi smiled back.
I don’t know if it was because of Le Haitang’s good luck or what, but starting from her, most of the people who drew the lottery after her won the red ball.
These people were all in high spirits.
Seeing the red balls being taken away one by one, Yu Linglong's heart sank.
There were nineteen pieces left, and there were only two bamboo tiles left in the box, which meant that only two people hadn’t touched the ball, and one of them was hers.
Her hand hesitated in the box, and the bamboo cards were wet with the sweat in her palms.
Liu Jingran, who was left, had drunk quite a bit of wine, and the moment he opened his mouth, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol. He propped his head up with the back of his hands and looked at her with drunken eyes: "Hurry up, I'm still waiting to get the talisman from Master Shen."
He spoke as if he would definitely win!
Yu Linglong cursed in her heart, what a blockhead! She gritted her teeth and pulled out the bamboo card, which clearly read: Bing Er.
She was immediately overjoyed, because wasn't Bing 2 her seat number?
She finally got lucky for once.
She handed the bamboo card to Xiao San beside her.
Shen Yizhi had returned to his seat and handed the talisman to Xiao San.
"Miss Yu, go ahead and smoke." Xiao San smiled.
Yu Linglong wanted to rub her hands and blow a breath into them, as it was said that this would bring good luck. However, at this moment, her every move was projected onto the projection stone.
As the top star of Qiu Shui Pavilion, she still has a lot of image burden. In the past, even if those men came with a lot of money just to see her, she still had to consider whether to agree or not depending on her mood.
If she did this in front of so many people, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? She was Yu Linglong, a master of both singing and dancing. She had to maintain an elegant demeanor, a lazy style, and a charming figure at all times.
The next moment, she rubbed her hands, blew a breath into her palms, reached into the box, and tremblingly took out a ball.
White.
The expression on her face froze.
She heard the sound of her heart falling from a high altitude and then shattering into pieces with a "pa pa".
Liu Jingran burst into laughter, and when he had laughed enough, he put the spout of the kettle to his mouth and drank the wine in it.
He strode to the center of the court and took out the last ball from the box on the table.
Not surprisingly, it was a red ball.
"It seems that I am very lucky." Liu Jingran's words obviously stabbed Yu Linglong in the heart again.
He threw the ball to Xiao San and took the last talisman from him.
This is a talisman that can make you look light. When you stick it on your body, you will feel as light as a swallow.
Although it was not the one he wanted most, it was already a great fortune to get a talisman for free. Asking for more would be just greed.
You know, those talismans circulating in the market are sold at a high price of several thousand taels each.
This light talisman is equivalent to several thousand taels of silver!
It was already noon, and Shen Yi knew: "There will be another auction this afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock. The items on display will not disappoint you. If anyone wants to rest, you can ask the maid to take you there. Those who want to tour the garden are also welcome."
After saying that, Shen Yizhi gave Gu Xueting a look that showed he had realized his mistake, then left with a smile.
But the people in the hall were in an uproar.
"Brother Jingran, please open the talisman for me."
"Brother Chu, how about we go for a walk in the garden together?"
"Give me another plate of pork elbow in sauce!"
…
Some stayed to continue drinking and eating and enjoying the delicious food, some were taken to take a nap by the maids, and some wanted to go out for a stroll. Everyone had their own place to go.
