Chapter 364: Thinking clearly
Seeing Xiao Yeyang coming, the crowd suddenly became excited.
For ordinary people, they don’t have many opportunities to meet officials, let alone see members of the royal family.
There were many young girls in the crowd who came to join in the fun like Daohua and the others. When they saw the handsome and imposing Xiao Yeyang, they all lowered their heads in shame.
Some of the brave ones, who prided themselves on their outstanding looks, directly lifted the veil in front of their veils and looked at Xiao Yeyang with burning eyes.
"Look, the little prince seems to be looking at us."
"Really? Let me take a look. Oh my god, it really is, he's looking at us."
"Sister, you are absolutely beautiful. The young prince must be looking at you."
"Stop talking nonsense~"
Listening to the shy laughter of the girls in front, Daohua, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu who were standing at the back looked at each other silently.
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang standing in front of the cardboard box and said lightly, "That guy is really good at attracting bees and butterflies."
Dong Yuanyao took over the conversation: "Isn't it obvious? She's good-looking and has a good family background. Not to mention butterflies and bees, even caterpillars would dare to approach her." After saying that, he glanced at the girls in front of him, as if he was saying that they were caterpillars.
"Puff~"
Su Shiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Daohua was also very happy.
In front, Xiao Yeyang's eyes swept over here from time to time. Although Daohua was wearing a veil hat, he still recognized her at a glance.
"Young Prince!"
The sudden voice interrupted Xiao Yeyang's gaze.
Xiao Yeyang turned around and saw Dong Yuanxuan, Yan Wenkai and the others: "Why are you here?"
Yan Wenkai immediately said, "Liulichang is opening, how can we not come for such a big event?" After that, he winked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "My little prince, we don't have much money. Look at the free glass tea set..."
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly and pointed to the lottery box: "That depends on whether you have the luck."
Yan Wenkai's expression froze, and he whispered, "Little Prince, we are so familiar with each other, do you think it is possible..."
"No!" Xiao Yeyang refused without hesitation, "Hurry up and smoke, don't hold back the people behind you."
Yan Wenkai was helpless. He looked back at Dong Yuanxuan and the others, then resigned himself to his fate and reached into the cardboard box. Soon, he grabbed one and stepped aside.
"I wonder if my brother and the others can get it?"
When Dong Yuanyao saw that his elder brother started to twitch, he stretched his neck.
Daohua: "I told you not to count on it."
Although she didn't know how Xiao Yeyang would do it, they would definitely not get a share of the gifted glass.
Su Shiyu's expression changed, and she asked in surprise, "How could it be fake in front of so many people?"
Daohua smiled. Could it be that there shouldn't be too much shady dealings in the lottery?
Soon, it was the turn of the rice flowers.
Dong Yuanyao pushed Daohua to the front and let her draw first.
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang who was standing in front of the cardboard box.
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows at her. He had not spoken since he came out, so he chuckled softly and said, "Happy birthday, Miss Yan. I hope you can draw a good number."
Daohua didn't say anything and reached her hand into the cardboard box. Before she was ready to grab it, she felt a ball of paper falling into her hand. She suddenly had an idea and quickly pulled her hand out, holding the ball of paper and retreating to the other side.
At this time, Yan Wenkai and others had recognized them and immediately came over.
"Big sister, look, what number did you draw?"
Daohua was about to open the paper ball, but when she saw them, she stopped: "I'm waiting to see it with Yuanyao, Shiyu, and my second sister."
Yan Wenkai was speechless: "Do we really need to look at a piece of paper together?"
Daohua nodded: "It's useful."
Soon, Dong Yuanyao, Su Shiyu, and Yan Yihan came over.
Dong Yuanyao: "Yiyi, what's your number? Mine is 17."
Su Shiyu: "Mine is Siqi."
Daohua opened the ball of paper and saw the number inside. She was stunned at first, then she smiled. However, her smile faded away as she smiled. She then glanced fiercely at Xiao Yeyang in front of the cardboard box.
Xiao Yeyang had been paying attention to Daohua. When she opened the paper ball, his heart began to tighten. He only felt relieved when he saw Daohua smile after looking at the number on the paper ball.
Seeing Daohua remained silent, Dong Yuanyao snatched the paper ball from her and said, "Let me see what number yours is."
When I opened the paper and saw a string of numbers on it, I was stunned.
"Why do you have so many? Seventy-seven-eighty-eight-one-thirty-one-four-six-nine. What does that mean?"
Daohua took the paper ball back and said casually, "Who knows? Maybe someone just wrote it randomly."
Yan Wenkai interrupted, "This is the young prince's calligraphy."
Daohua glanced at her fourth brother and said, "Fourth brother has really good eyesight. He can tell whose handwriting it is at a glance." After saying that, she quickly put away the paper ball and put it into her purse.
This Xiao Yeyang, when she was teaching him to keep accounts at Taohua An, got bored halfway through and mentioned the numerical code from her previous life to him. Unexpectedly, the guy remembered it.
Thinking of the meaning of the string of numbers, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang again and glared at him fiercely.
This guy is teasing her with numbers!
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua inquiringly: "No, that number must have some special meaning."
Dong Yuanxuan and others were also looking at the rice flowers.
Daohua: "Don't think too much, there's really no other meaning. Xiao Yeyang was just bored and wrote some random things."
Yan Wenkai, the big shot, suddenly came to his senses: "That's not right. The numbers we got weren't written by the little prince. How come you, big sister, got the one written by the little prince?"
As he spoke, his eyes lit up.
"Could this be the number you need to get a free glass tea set?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was instantly misled.
Dong Yuanyao was delighted: "That must be the case. Yiyi, quickly take out the paper ball so we can go get the glass tea set later."
Daohua was a little helpless, but in order to prevent everyone from thinking too much, she still took out the paper ball.
Just at this time, a group of servants wearing the same robes came out from Liulichang, carrying glass tea sets. Each tea set was very exquisite and in different colors. As soon as they came out, they attracted everyone's admiration.
Soon, thirteen sets of tea sets were placed on the display counter.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked up to the platform with a smile.
"These are the thirteen sets of glass tea sets we're giving away for free today. You can come and look at them, but don't touch them. After two cups of tea, the winners will be announced."
As soon as these words were spoken, merchants from all directions, as well as officials from noble families and government offices, began to move.
Yan Wenkai: "Before, the young prince didn't show us the colored glass he made. I thought the quality of the colored glass was very poor. Now I see that it is better than the ones sold by foreigners."
Dong Yuanxuan smiled and said, "The young prince is becoming more and more patient now."
Zhou Chengye agreed: "Yes, if the glass had been taken out too early, it wouldn't have had the eye-catching effect it has today."
Before I knew it, two cups of tea had passed.
The guards who were there to maintain order came out and dispersed the people in front of the display case.
The middle-aged steward smiled and stepped onto the platform again. "Now, everyone, please take out your own paper balls. Those with "Ninety-two" written on them, please come up with your paper balls to receive the glass tea set."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone checked the numbers on their own paper balls.
“Ah~”
Suddenly, an excited voice rang out.
A small vendor in coarse clothes raised his hand excitedly: "Mine is 942, mine is 942."
The guard immediately walked over, confirmed the number on the paper in his hand, and then took him to the counter: "Thirteen sets of glass tea sets, you can choose any one."
Seeing that he could really take away the glass tea set, the peddler quickly chose a set he liked. After he made his choice, the guard took him away.
"Mine is also No. 942!"
"Mine too!"
Thirteen sets of glass tea sets were taken away one after another.
Daohua took the paper ball back from Dong Yuanyao and said, "I was right, wasn't this right at all?"
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua with a sigh, "You guessed it right. The people who got the glass tea sets were either ordinary people or merchants. No officials or people from aristocratic families got any."
"How did you guess so accurately? It's as if you know what the young prince is thinking."
