Chapter 193 A Dark Horse
Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er looked at these children with pity. As mothers, they felt sorry for what the children had gone through!
But in their current situation, even in this dilapidated yard, the whole family still lives in a tent!
Where do these more than one hundred children live?
Xia Xing'er looked at them and had already thought about where they would go.
She called Chunliu and others over and asked them to take the children back to town directly!
He also gave them 10,000 taels of silver notes so that they could establish their own power in the town.
Although they were reluctant to leave Xia Xing'er, they knew that the orders given to them by the young lady were equally important!
They also have to help the young lady train these more than one hundred children into masters, so that they can become her future helpers!
The eight people reluctantly took their children to the town!
However, Nanny Liu stayed, and Nanny Zhang went back to town with Chunliu and the others.
I don’t know what Xuanyuan Yi said to Xia Chengsheng. When Xia Xinger came back from sending Chunliu and the others, she saw him having a happy conversation with her father!
Xia Chengsheng treated Xuanyuan Yi as half his own son!
His three brothers did not have the hostility towards Xuanyuan Yi at the beginning!
I really don’t know what kind of magic potion Xuanyuan Yi has fed to his family members in just this short period of time!
Well, this is what I want to see anyway!
When she woke up the next day, Xuanyuan Yi had already left for something, so Xia Xing'er decided to go to the town.
Aunt Chen gathered a lot of villagers to clean up the wasteland yesterday afternoon.
Chen Dabai has also slowly transported the materials needed to build the house.
Xia Xing'er wanted her family to go and live there first, but they were unwilling to go. They wanted to see their own house being built brick by brick with their own eyes!
After what happened yesterday, the three little ones were unwilling to follow him to town.
Xia Xing'er came to the town alone and found Chunliu and the others first. Seeing that the children had been arranged, she felt relieved.
She wanted to walk around the town, so Chunliu approached her and asked expectantly, "Miss, there's a martial arts competition going on at the Yueyang Restaurant today. Do you want to go and see it?"
Xia Xing'er looked into her clear eyes and couldn't say no. After all, she had nothing to do, so she decided to go and watch the competition here!
Chun Liu watched his young lady agree, and his whole body was as
They were all excited and pulled Xia Xing'er to Yueyang Restaurant.
Xia Yue and the others were left looking at the two men's departing backs with resentment.
The competition had not yet begun, but the restaurant was already bustling with people inside and outside.
As soon as the two entered the restaurant, the waiter came to greet them. When he saw that it was Chunliu, his face became more friendly.
After Chunliu came to the town, she often came here to eat and listen to books, and the waiter was very familiar with her.
"Sir, you are here. How many people are there today? In the hall or in the private room?"
Faced with the waiter's enthusiastic inquiry, Chunliu directly threw two taels of silver to the waiter.
"A private room, the one we usually sit in!"
The waiter held two taels of silver in his hand, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He led Xia Xing'er and the other person directly to the private room on the second floor.
Just as they sat down for a while, the waiter enthusiastically brought them tea and snacks.
"My two guests, please enjoy your meal. The competition will not begin for a while. If you need anything else, please let me know!"
"My dear guests, we have a dealer setting up a gambling game for this martial arts competition. If you two have a favorite, you can place your bet. There are two options: 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. It all depends on your vision! If you have a good eye, the more you bet, the more you'll win!"
"However, these contestants all participated last year. If you would like to know more, I would be happy to explain a little bit to you!"
What the waiter didn't say was that a detailed explanation would definitely cost extra.
Xia Xing'er and Chun Liu also understood what the waiter meant. In view of the good attitude of the store manager, Xia Xing'er handed him another two taels of silver.
"Then tell us about it!"
The waiter has worked in Yueyang Restaurant for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen Chunliu and Xia Xinger like this, people who are straightforward when paid and don't bother too much.
You know, the customers he met before all spent dozens of copper coins and were eager for him to tell them who the leader was.
But these two guests gave him two taels of silver, plus the previous two taels, that was a full four taels of silver.
Four taels of silver is several months' salary. These two guests are really good people.
Since they are good people, he also hopes that they will be rewarded and wishes them to make a fortune!
"There are a total of fourteen people competing this year. These fourteen are all the best in Yong County, and each one is extremely capable. Two of them are the champions of the previous two competitions, one is called Zhao Long, and the other is called Zhang Hu!"
"This guy named Zhao Long has won first place three times in a row. He didn't participate last year due to family matters. And this guy named Zhang Hu was a dark horse who broke through the competition last year. This year's first place winner should be one of them!"
Xia Xing'er's two taels of silver were not wasted. The waiter told the whole story of Zhao Long and Zhang Hu, including everything he could and couldn't tell!
For example, there was a guy named Zhao Long who liked to visit brothels. His family had a little property and he had a beautiful wife.
But Zhao Long was not satisfied. He ignored his lovely wife at home and stayed in brothels every day. His wife could not stand his neglect, so she sold the family property, took all the gold and silver in the house and ran away with her lover!
Later he had no choice but to compete in martial arts to make money, and he spent all the money he earned in brothels.
Zhang Hu's father died early, and he was raised by his widowed mother, who later helped him get married.
The widowed mother finally fell ill due to overwork. Zhang Hu used all the family savings to treat his mother's illness. His wife could not stand the poor life and became a concubine of a rich family.
The waiter talked incessantly, but Xia Xing'er and Chun Liu listened with great interest!
The waiter saw that the two Gods of Wealth in front of him were willing to listen to him, so he spoke more enthusiastically.
He dug out the ancestors of these fourteen contestants for eighteen generations, from the smallest details like birthmarks on each body part to their life stories, leaving nothing out!
He didn't stop until he heard the sound of gongs and drums below.
"They say a hemp rope is cut at its thinnest point, and misfortune favors the unfortunate. Zhang Hu is now desperate. To earn enough money to save his mother's life, he will definitely do his best. If you two guests want to place a bet, then betting on him to win is definitely a good bet!"
"Of course, this is just my humble opinion. It's up to you two gentlemen to decide who to suppress. I'm just offering a few suggestions!"
"The competition is about to begin. I won't disturb you two guests any longer. I'll withdraw now!"
Xia Xing'er nodded to Chunliu, and the waiter retreated respectfully, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.
