Chapter 64 Changes(1/2)
Tao Nong failed to last until March. Just after mid-February, she sent a message to Zhou E and asked her to send a message to Li Ran: She accepted Beiwazi's invitation and started singing. When Jin Mingchi opened on March 1, she invited Li Ran to visit Jin Mingchi.
Zhou E conveyed Tao Nong's message and curled her lips: "She is very big. The second son of the Hei family won that day. She asked everyone in the audience to drink cold ice and snow water and bought all the cold ice and snow water in Beiwazi. She could hold on until today before she started singing. It seems that she really made a lot of money in the first month of this year."
Li Ran laughed.
After a few days in March, Tao Nong's invitation arrived.
After lunch, Li Ran and Zhou E got into the car and left Xinzheng Gate and headed towards Jin Mingchi.
The road to Jinmingchi this time is different from the last time. The last time is just a slight spring light, and this time it is already full of spring.
Tao Nong was waiting at the entrance of Jinmingchi. When he saw Zhou E sitting outside the car, he smiled and came forward.
Li Ran got out of the car and looked around.
The last time she came to Jinmingchi, it should be opposite here, and across Jinmingchi, what she saw seemed to be this palace-style building.
"You brought the copper coins and broken silver?" Tao Nong asked Li Ran first.
Li Ran nodded quickly. This was what Tao Nong specifically told him, saying that Guanpu was going to use, so of course she brought it with her.
"Then let's go in." Tao Nong turned happily.
Li Ran looked up at the gate tower in front of her. The gate tower was bright and brilliant, and the pink and white walls extended from both sides of the gate tower to the east and west.
"Hurry up!" Tao Nong took out a handful of money and handed it to the old soldier guarding the door, and greeted Li Ran who looked up at him.
"What money is this?" Li Ran held her skirt, walked a few steps, followed Tao Nong and asked.
"If you don't pay money to Jin Mingchi, you won't pay money to you. There is not much money, and you can get five big money per person." Tao Nong's voice was pleasant.
"When we came last time, we didn't spend money. But we didn't get in from here." Li Ran looked around as she walked.
"Last time? When did you come? This Jinmingchi only opens for ten days a year. Have you been here? Didn't you enter the capital last fall?" Tao Nong was surprised and curious.
"Here in the first month of the year." Li Ran looked at Zhou E before she finished speaking.
"She wants to see Jin Mingchi, so I took her in from the north guard to see." Zhou E replied calmly with her hands behind her back.
Tao Nong laughed, "Then it's a small matter for you to come back without spending these five big money. If you can come in, that's a huge face. You've asked General Zhou for his blessing, no, you don't have to ask General Zhou for his blessing. Marquis of Chang'an, Marquis Li, leads the defense of Jingji. If you want to come here, you'll come."
Li Ran uttered, no wonder she didn't see anyone last time when she came. She was surprised at that time. Why didn't anyone come to enjoy the spring with such a beautiful scenery?
"Not the Marquis." Zhou E glanced at Li Ran.
Tao Nong yelled, then dragged the long tone and laughed again for a moment, "Yes, this is better for the girl's identity.
However, the girl came last time, although she saved five big money, she didn’t have much fun watching. The bridge was empty, but it was meaningless.”
"We didn't get here, we walked there for a long time." Li Ran pointed to the opposite side of Jin Mingchi.
"That's even better! This is the first time that the girl has come back from Jin Mingchi.
Come on, I told the girl.
The girl looked at the bridge, which was called the Fairy Bridge, the bridge where the immortal walked, and the arch in the middle was called the Camel Rainbow. One year, it had just rained, and a rainbow was caught on the Camel Rainbow, just like the fairy world in the sky.
At the other end of the fairy bridge, I saw the five halls that were not as good as the taste, and they were all there.
The bridgehead, look at the one, called Lingxing Gate. It will take a few days to build a Cailou, one left and one right, two, which are taller than Lingxing Gate. On the day of martial arts performance, there will be drums and music on the top of the Cailou, and there will be people singing war songs, which is very lively."
Li Ran followed Tao Nong's introduction and was dazzled.
"Speaking of it," Tao Nong dragged his voice, with a smile in his words, "One year, the Ministry of Rites invited me to sing war songs there. I told them that I had sang war songs in Xingrongguan and would not sing anywhere else."
Li Ran hurriedly turned to look at Tao Nong.
Tao Nong kept laughing, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm not here well. The emperor is wise and rewarded me with such a large plate of gold. I have been idle for half a year, and that half a year is like soil, so happy."
Li Ran relaxed in one breath and laughed.
"She sang in the south of the city at Xingrong Pass, and her voice penetrated the world. I heard that Huo Shuai was so angry that he wanted to tear her apart." Zhou E stretched out a finger and pointed a little peach.
"I sang so well at that time, and I sang my voice down. Unexpectedly, there were still people who were willing to listen to this slump." Tao Nong laughed.
"Huo Shuai knows you are in the capital now?" Li Ran hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly.
Zhou E and Tao Nong rolled their eyes at her.
"The two armies are not personal grudges." Zhou E gave Li Ran another look.
"Miss is worried about me." Tao Nong pushed Zhou E and signaled Li Ran to go to the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, Tao Nong threw a big money into a big basket at the bridge and signaled to Li Ran, "You throw one too, one is enough."
"Buy money?" Li Ran took out a big money and threw it in, and asked with a smile.
"It's Guanpu's money." Tao Nong rubbed his hands with both hands, looking very excited. "I have a girl here today. I'm going to win a lot of money and don't have to open a year!"
Zhou E glanced at her, and for the little life of the girl, she entrusted her with her blessing, I was afraid that she would not have time to lose for two years.
Li Ran touched the heavy purse and was eager to try it out.
"From big to small or from small to large?" Tao Nong's fingers went from east to west.
"I've got a few small ones first. I've never played the game before, practice my skills." Li Ran looked west.
"Let's go!" Tao Nong raised her foot and rushed to the east.
Li Ran hurriedly followed.
The first stall is very small, half a person tall, a piece of white cloth, two white porcelain bowls in front, and two rows of copper coins in the back.
"This is to guess the size. One copper coin is fine, three or five. You can bet a few, he will pay a few." Tao Nong's introduction is simple and clear.
"How to guess?"
"One has something, the other has nothing, you will win if you guess it right."
Tao Nong stood still, and only signaled Li Ran to try it out. She was not interested in such a trick.
"This depends on the speed. I said yes, he can remove it immediately." Li Ran looked at the fat old man guarding the stall from two bowls.
"What the girl is talking about is a trick. We are Guanpu, but we don't like that. The girl picks one and lifts it up in one hand." The fat old man smiled.
Li Ran saw Tao Nong laughing at her and nodding her head, and took out a big money, "Try it first."
The fat old man didn't move, and only signaled Li Ran to pick up the bowl.
Li Ran casually lit one, pressed her other hand on the other bowl, and lifted it up at the same time, and the one she picked was nothing.
"My luck!" Li Ran said annoyed, "Try twice, take a look." Li Ran swallowed the following words. In terms of probability, she could guess at least one of the two choices in three chapters.
The fat old man took the copper coin, reached forward, quickly moved the two bowls, and for a moment, signaling Li Ran to guess.
Li Ran took another big money and pointed it at a bowl without hesitation. He lifted his hands together, and made a mistake again.
It was still wrong to take another big money.
"How is this possible! It must be him who removed it." Li Ran glared at the two bowls. This is unscientific!
"I dare not talk nonsense." The fat old man's eyes widened.
"If he dares to do anything, he will be beaten to death. Let's go in. It seems that the girl must win if she has the big hit." Tao Nong smiled and signaled Li Ran to walk in.
After walking through more than 20 passes and turning to the north side of the hall, Tao Nong stopped and rubbed his hands, "I'll open it!"
As he said that, he headed straight to the stall closest to her.
This stall is even simpler than the one Li Ran guessed the bowl. There is a small mouth wide-bottom urn in the middle, and three big money is placed next to it.
Tao Nong took out five taels and one small silver croaker, "Is it pure in front of the curtain?"
"Old rules, pure." The middle-aged man who looked at the stall was respectful and humble.
"What does it mean?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E and asked.
"There is the side with words in front of the curtain, and the other side is pure. All three money is pure, which means pure. This is a penalty of ten." Zhou E explained while stretching her neck to look at Tao Nong.
Tao Nong touched the three big money, put it in his palm, pressed against his chin, and was praying devoutly with his eyes down.
Li Ran thought about the probability issue and looked at Tao Nong with her heart.
Probability is a matter of good, bad, based on her experience.
Tao Nong prayed for a long time, took a deep breath, shook his hand and threw three copper coins into the porcelain jar.
There was a crisp sound of ding. The stall owner and Li Ran both looked solemn and looked nervously at the jar with breath.
Li Ran and Zhou E stretched their necks long, one left and the other right, one from Tao Nong's side and the other from Tao Nong's shoulders, and looked at them.
Several idle people passing by also stopped and looked at the porcelain urn.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Before Li Ran could see clearly, she was laughed loudly by Tao Nong's voice, and was so scared that she staggered back.
OK, no need to watch it, Tao Nong won.
Li Ran looked at Tao Nong, who was holding a heavy bag of silver crocks and swaying continuously, and laughed at each other for a few times. He became itchy and signaled Tao Nong, etc., took out a golden page roll, took a picture next to the porcelain jar, reached out to touch the three big money, and threw it straight into the porcelain jar.
Tao Nong took a quick step, squeezed before Li Ran, stretched his head in, and immediately let out a wail, "Your hand is too fast, how can you throw it directly? You have to ask for big money first, see, if you lose, how can you do it without asking for big money? Alas, it's a pity."
The stall owner smiled and put away the golden page roll.
