Chapter 141 Dragon Boat Festival
However, to participate in the competition, one must first pay a participation fee of one tael of silver.
"Sister Yan, why are you so late? I've already registered you."
Xu Shan'er took Gu Shuyan's hand and looked at the people who were still scrambling to hand over their money, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
Luckily she arrived early enough, otherwise it would have been difficult to squeeze in now.
Gu Shuyan had heard of the Dragon Boat Festival in her previous life, but she wasn't interested in it at the time, so she never participated.
Seeing these people's crazy behavior now, I can't help but wonder what kind of brilliant person came up with such a way to make money.
If it's just a matter of booking a luxurious private room, even the most skilled person would only charge a maximum of ten taels of silver.
After such a competition, this private room can eventually yield over a hundred taels of silver. In addition, the young masters and ladies will also make a fortune by resting and eating while participating in the competition. It's truly a sure-fire way to make money!
"Shan'er, what are you still doing here?"
A male voice rang out, and Gu Shuyan looked up to see a boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old running hurriedly toward them.
Looking at the boy's appearance and how he addressed Xu Shan'er, Gu Shuyan quickly guessed the person's identity.
"I've met Brother Xu."
Xu Rao, nineteen years old, is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jinning and the elder brother of Xu Shan'er.
"So it's Miss Gu. Xu Rao is too kind."
Looking at Gu Shuyan's resemblance to Ji Shi, Xu Rao guessed her identity without much thought.
"Speaking of which, Yingjie is also coming today. Didn't he come with his sister Shuyan?"
Because of the relationship between the Lady of Jinning and Lady Ji, the children of the two families were not as unfamiliar as other people who met for the first time.
"It's probably still to come!"
Gu Shuyan didn't actually know that Gu Yingjie was coming, but since Xu Rao had said so, it couldn't be fake.
Following Xu Rao to a private room not far away, Gu Yingjie arrived just after they had exchanged a few words.
Upon seeing Gu Shuyan, Gu Yingjie was taken aback at first, but then strode over and sat down next to her.
"I heard this year's questions are quite difficult. I wonder if you, Brother Rao, are confident?"
As Gu Yingjie spoke, he took out a folding fan and looked at Xu Rao in front of him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xu Rao quickly waved his hand: "You know my level. I can't even pass the imperial examination. As a newly appointed Jinshi, you should at least help us get a place!"
"How could I possibly do it? Those who pass the imperial examinations are all incredibly lucky. Are you sure I can?"
At this point, the two of them burst into laughter.
Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Yingjie, then at Xu Rao, and felt that while the two had a good relationship, something was not quite right.
"I knew I couldn't rely on you guys, but luckily I still have Sister Yan."
Seeing her two brothers lacking confidence, Xu Shan turned around and hugged Gu Shuyan's arm.
Thinking back to how Gu Shuyan had terrified everyone last time, Xu Shan was extremely confident that Gu Shuyan could win first place.
Looking at Xu Shan'er, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but mutter to herself: Girl, you're dreaming! This is a proper competition, okay? Do you think I can win by killing a chicken?
"Looks like they're about to start calling out the numbers, let's all go down!"
Because there are too many participants, the participants will be divided into groups to answer questions before getting to the main topic. Only those who win can advance to the next round. As for how many rounds it will take to reach the final, that depends on the number of participants today.
