Chapter 355 Betting

355 bets

Zhao Ya is not in a hurry at all, she could have finished it long ago, but she has not moved, she is calculating.

Seeing that four people have already completed the embroidery and handed in the embroidery, when they felt that it was almost the same, they stood up and handed in the embroidery.

This is the strategy that Zhao Zhitong taught her. In the first two games, especially the first one, don't take the lead.

It is best to be stuck in the middle, neither up nor down. This position is the most inconspicuous and will not attract attention.

Wait until the final show to make a big splash, it will be enough to deter people.

Sure enough, after the end of the first competition, people's discussions were almost entirely on Miss Fei Jia, who was the number one.

The last embroidered lady who entered the top ten also got some attention.

There are only a few embroiderers in the middle, and few people pay attention.

The first competition was about basic skills and embroidery speed. Therefore, there was no dispute about the result, and the top ten came out.

Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the first game ended like this.

The xiuniangs who did not enter the next game felt sad and cried, but they also had to leave the field one after another.

After the Fei family announced the time of tomorrow's game, Zhao Ya walked off the stage.

Everyone gathered around to congratulate Zhao Ya for entering the top ten.

Zhao Ya was embarrassed by the praise, and blushed and said that she was not that good.

Because the second competition is tomorrow, people around have left one after another. Mrs. Fei's family entertained the wives who were invited to be judges, and entered the mansion for a banquet.

Mrs. Li politely declined, nodded politely to all the ladies, and walked out with the servants.

At this time, Zhao Zhitong, who was about to leave, stopped when he saw Mrs. Li coming out: "Wait a minute, Mrs. Li is coming out, let's say hello before leaving."

While speaking, Mrs. Li had already come in front of them.

"Ma'am." Zhao Zhitong stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

Mrs. Li also took Zhao Zhitong's hand, and said happily that the massage techniques Zhao Zhitong gave her were really useful. She pressed her husband's legs for a few days, and her husband's legs didn't hurt so much.

The two chatted about Li Yu's leg illness for a while, and Mrs. Li talked about Zhao Ya's embroidery.

"I saw your embroidery. Although I am not as skilled as the embroiderer, I can feel the strength in your embroidery. Don't be discouraged."

Ms. Li is comforting Zhao Ya because she only got a fifth place today.

Zhao Ya nodded in gratitude.

After a few more conversations, Mrs. Li said goodbye to Zhao Zhitong and the others and left.

The first game ended in the morning, and by noon, news of the game had already spread in Suzhou City.

All the streets and alleys are discussing this matter, and even some people have begun to bet.

Zhao Zhitong and the others who were eating in the restaurant happened to encounter this scene.

Listening to the commotion, Zhao Zhitong and the others couldn't help but look over.

At this moment, Xiao Er happened to come over to serve food, and Zhao Yue asked, "What are they doing over there, so lively?"

Xiao Er put the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Well, it's the young masters of the Fei family and the young masters of the Qian family who set up a bet for this embroidery competition. Everyone, they are all joining in the fun."

"Oh, that's it." Zhao Yue nodded, quite curious.

The little one seemed to be talkative, and when he left, he said: "Every year in the embroidery competition, someone will place a bet.

Many people in Suzhou City have bet, not to win money, but to join in the fun, you can also go and see. "

After Xiaoer left, Zhao Zhitong was still looking over there curiously.

And Zhao Yue and the others are obviously very interested in this.

Although they don't like to gamble, they are still very curious about Zhao Ya.

At this time, Zhao Zhitong smiled and made a suggestion: "Why don't we go and have a look?"

Several people stood up in an instant, excitedly said: "Let's go, what are you waiting for?"

Go as soon as you say, and a few people stopped eating, and got up one after another to join in the fun.

When they walked over, those people were discussing enthusiastically.

I saw the list of promotions on the table, and the odds were written on the side.

Zhao Zhitong has never seen gambling before, so he was very curious, and went to find Zhao Ya's name.

The name is taken according to the ranking of this competition, and Zhao Ya's is fifth.

"Uncle, how does this work?"

Zhao Zhitong asked curiously.

The uncle saw a little girl in front of him, so he knew that the other party didn't understand this, so he explained it to Zhao Zhitong.

"This time, it's the top five. Which five embroiderers do you like? If you think they can make it into the top five, you can beat them. If you make the right bet after the game is over, you can win according to the odds."

After the introduction, the uncle looked at Zhao Zhitong with a smile: "Girl, do you want to do it?"

Zhao Zhitong was a little interested, and looked back at Qiao Muchen: "Do you want to play?"

Qiao Muchen wasn't interested in this at first, but seeing that Zhao Zhitong wanted to play, he nodded: "Then let's play."

Zhao Zhitong turned around happily and asked Uncle Xiang again: "How should I bet?"

Uncle smiled and said: "You can choose five people yourself, or you can choose five people at random."

Zhao Zhitong listened and nodded, his eyes looked at the name, and realized that the above odds were different, so he was a little puzzled: "What does the odds mean?"

At this time, Qiao Muchen explained from the side: "Odds are the probability of paying out. The higher the odds, the lower the chance of winning, and vice versa.

Naturally, the odds are higher, that is, once the bet is correct, the more money you will win. "

Zhao Zhitong suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, it's high risk and high return!"

Then he took out five taels of silver from his pocket, and chose five people very casually.

Of course there is Zhao Ya, and the remaining four have a third, a fourth, an eighth, and a tenth.

Looking at the name Zhao Zhitong bought, someone beside him laughed.

"Girl, why don't you buy Ms. Fei's family? She will definitely make it into the top five. If you hurt me, don't look at the high payouts in the future, but their chances of making it into the top five are small. Basically, they will lose money."

"Yes, yes, the top five, the highest bet!"

…

According to the reputation, most of the bets in the past were the top five. Naturally, some people wanted to bet on the bottom five.

As for the number one Faey, almost everyone will bet on her.

Zhao Zhitong looked away, then smiled: "I'm just playing."

Qiao Muchen also put five taels of silver on the table: "Yes, we are just trying to have fun. Just now the girl bet on five people, and I will also bet on one."

The people around looked at these young men and women. Although they were not well dressed, they didn't look like ordinary people, so they didn't say anything.

The rich young lady, of course, would not do it for money, she must join in the fun.

After taking over the house, Zhao Yue and the others also went up to buy a lot.

Even Zhao Ya was pushed to buy a lot, and said afterwards that it was strange to bet on herself.

Everyone burst into laughter.

After buying, they returned to the dining table. After eating, everyone went home talking and laughing.

Qiao Muchen's brother Zhao Yue went directly to the Yamen to work, while Zhao Zhitong and the others went back to their residence to rest.

In a blink of an eye, the game on the second day came as scheduled.
