Most people chose Shi Mu and Cheng Huaijin. Apart from a small number who chose Prince Tian Tian, half of the other people chose Shi Mu and half chose Cheng Huaijin.
Wang Pangzi begged for most of the day, even going to Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, before he was finally allowed to watch this final competition.
He was very happy to see this betting result.
Although many people also chose Shi Mu, he was definitely not at a loss. In his eyes, Cheng Huaijin was the winner. Cheng Huaijin had even taken him to train for a day when he had nothing to do before. He had seen Cheng Huaijin compete with Bai Yi once.
This person shocked him greatly. He felt that Shi Mu was just a bit fierce on the surface, and was definitely not as good as Cheng Huaijin.
Wang Pangzi's father was the prefect of Tongzhou, and his maternal grandfather's family was also a well-known wealthy merchant family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the capital, quite a few people knew Wang Pangzi.
However, this time he found that people he used to know didn't seem to want to talk to him anymore. He was puzzled. What was wrong with these people? They were all ignoring him.
Bai Er told him that he had lost at least two sizes of weight, and that it wasn't that people weren't talking to him, but rather that they probably didn't recognize him.
Fatty Wang was incredulous. He excitedly ran up to people he knew and waved them around. Once he was sure they didn't recognize him, he stopped talking to them. "Hmph, in a few months, I'm going to blind you all. Don't think I don't know you all call me 'Fatty' behind my back!"
After circling around in front of people he knew a few times, Fatty Wang happily headed towards Zheng Qiu, Gu En, and Du San Niang.
"Gu Xiaosi, Xiao Qiu, Du Niangzi, I'm here!" Fatty Wang greeted the three of them one by one.
"Old Wang, why don't you come to my house?" Gu En asked curiously.
There was only one seat left, which Gu En had originally reserved for Fatty Wang. He came over to sit with Zheng Qiu and the others, but Fatty Wang didn't go.
"Isn't this Boss Du here? It's been so many days since I've seen him, I really missed him." Fatty Wang had lost weight, but his mouth was as greasy as ever.
"Old Wang, shut up! Don't you know what Bai Yi has been up to lately?" Gu En thought to himself, "I'm so sorry for Fatty Wang."
Once you're done with your work, you're finished, kid. You're still here flirting with other people's wives with your smooth talk.
"What's he busy with? What does Bai Yi's busyness have to do with me? Didn't he go to ask the Emperor for a position? Oh my god, that fool, he didn't want it last year, but insisted on waiting until this year. Time has passed, how can he get the same thing?" Fatty Wang sighed.
“A capable person, no matter what position they hold, will eventually rise to a high position. Only those who have nothing better to do and whose mouths are annoying will ruin themselves even if given a high position,” Du Sanniang said quietly.
Fatty Wang: "!"
Gu En and Zheng Qiu both suppressed their laughter as they watched the field.
Fatty Wang retorted, "Boss Du, are you implying that you're looking down on me? Old Bai just told you he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you, and you believed him! I could say that too, so why are you looking down on me?"
Du Sanniang turned her head to look at Wang Pangzi: "I believe him! You say you're all talk, but all you are is talk! Do you dare to abandon your wife and children to come and live with me? If you don't, then stop wasting your breath. I'm not from the place you frequent, so please be more respectful in your speech from now on, otherwise..."
Gu En and Zheng Qiu stopped laughing.
