356 It is not certain who wins and who loses

The second competition was to examine the embroidery work of the embroiderers. This competition had no theme and no blueprints, so the embroiderers were allowed to do their own work and make a work within the time of two sticks of incense.

Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the embroiderers started to move one after another.

Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue did not come in the yamen today, only Zhao Zhitong, Wei Shulan, Wei Zijian and the younger brother came.

At this time, several people were standing under the shade of a tree, chatting and waiting for the game to end.

This competition went by very quickly. After a while, it was time for two incense sticks, and all the embroiderers had to stop their movements.

Then five qualified embroiderers will judge the embroidery of ten embroiderers.

The five wives will look at them in turn, and then score them. The two scores are added together, and the five highest ones will enter the next round of competition.

The competition is over, there is no doubt that Fei Yi has the highest score, but Zhao Ya is a bit thrilling this time.

In the first round of scoring, those few experienced embroiderers, as if they had negotiated, did not give Zhao Ya a high score.

As a result, after the first round of scoring came out, Zhao Ya's ranking was directly out of the fifth place, and ranked eighth.

The hearts of Zhao Zhitong and the others all tugged.

Fortunately, when the ladies were grading, the scores were brought back a bit, and finally entered the top five by one point higher than the sixth place.

After getting off the field, Zhao Ya was stopped by Fei Yi.

Zhao Ya looked at Fei Yi who blocked her way, and asked suspiciously: "Miss Fei, what do you want me for?"

Fei Yi looked Zhao Ya up and down, his eyes full of inquiry: "I didn't expect you to be in the top five."

Zhao Ya smiled and said lightly: "It's just a fluke."

"Oh!" Faey sneered, and then said contemptuously in a low voice: "I tell you, you can't beat me."

Zhao Ya still said modestly: "Yes, Miss Fei has superb embroidery skills."

These words were actually somewhat truthful. She saw Faey's embroidery, but at first hearing it, it seemed that she was mocking the other party.

Feeling that she had punched the cotton, and being ridiculed so blandly by the other party, her face was a little angry.

Thinking of Mrs. Du's admiration for Zhao Ya's works just now, she felt a sense of crisis again.

Ms. Li just said a few words about her works, but she couldn't put it down for Zhao Ya's embroidery.

Another reason why she rushed to warn Zhao Ya was that she saw the embroidered handkerchiefs that Zhao Ya sold when she first came to Suzhou, and she was amazed by the unique stitching method.

This gave her a sense of fear, fearing that someone would take away the number one position this time, so she ran over to scare Zhao Ya away.

It's just that, instead of scaring Zhao Ya, she made herself angry.

At this time, Zhao Zhitong and the others had already walked over here.

Seeing that so many people suddenly came to Zhao Ya's side, it was not easy to provoke them, Fei Yi didn't say anything, but glared at Zhao Ya, turned around, twisted his waist and left.

Wei Zijian stepped forward nervously, and asked concerned: "Yaya, did she hurt you?"

Zhao Ya smiled and shook her head: "No, no, in broad daylight, she still dare not do anything to me."

Several people saw that Zhao Ya was indeed not injured, so they talked and laughed and prepared to go back.

Just passing by the restaurant where they went to eat yesterday, they found that the entrance of the restaurant was very lively.

It was the same game as yesterday, but more people came to bet today.

Before he reached the door, he heard the lively discussion.

"It goes without saying that I will definitely bet on Miss Feijia. She won the first place in two consecutive rounds. If she doesn't do it in the third round, she must also be the first. She won't lose money."

"Don't everyone say that wealth and wealth are sought after in danger, I think, take a gamble and bet on the fifth place"

"Then you might as well bet on the third or fourth place. The fifth place almost didn't make it into the top five. The possibility of becoming the first place is too small."

"That's right, only a fool would bet on the fifth place. Didn't you see, there were only a few beggars who bet on a few copper coins. Up to now, the bet on the fifth place is only one tael of silver."

"Hey, really, the bet on Miss Fei's family is already three thousand taels of silver? It's so high!"

"Hey, you don't know this, Mr. Qian and Miss Fei are engaged, so he must support his future wife.

I heard that in order to win the smile of the beauty, he pressed a thousand taels of silver bills! "

…

Wei Zijian was furious when he heard this: "I'm so mad!"

Zhao Zhitong: "Come on, let's join in the fun."

Amidst the discussions of the people around, Zhao Zhitong and the others squeezed in, and saw that Zhao Ya's odds were indeed the highest, already ten times the odds.

And there are only a handful of people who bet on Zhao, and they only cost one tael of silver.

Zhao Zhitong received the money from yesterday's bet first.

She hit the right two people, so she lost money.

After getting the money, Zhao Zhitong listened to the discussion of the people around him, unceremoniously took out a few banknotes from his arms, and threw them on the table.

"I'll bet Zhao Ya five hundred taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, the enthusiastic people who were discussing around stopped and looked at Zhao Zhitong.

The uncle in charge of the gambling table was also taken aback, and asked again uncertainly: "Girl, are you sure you are betting on Zhao Ya for five hundred taels?"

Zhao Ya also looked at Zhao Zhitong in surprise, unbelievable: "Sister..."

My sister has never been an impulsive person in her heart. This time, why is she so impulsive.

Zhao Zhitong nodded affirmatively: "That's right, just bet on Zhao Ya, five hundred taels of silver."

At this time, some enthusiastic people in the surrounding crowd persuaded: "This girl, although she said that wealth and wealth are in danger, but this embroiderer named Zhao Ya is a new embroiderer in Suzhou. You are probably an embroiderer." To accompany the money."

"Yes, if you really want to gamble, it's better to be Cao Xiuniang who is far away from the second place, or Feng Xiuniang who is the third place. They have already participated in the competition, and their results are good. They are more experienced and have a better chance of winning."

Zhao Zhitong nodded and smiled to thank those two warm-hearted people, but said that she still insisted on her choice.

"It's okay, I'm particularly optimistic about the fifth place, so I'll bet on her."

Wei Zijian also put the few dozen taels of silver left on his body on Zhao Ya's name, and said loudly: "That's right, I'll also bet on the fifth place. When the time comes, it's not certain who will win!"

Hmph, who said that Zhao Ya is only worth a tael of silver!

Not to be outdone, Zhao Yu and Wei Shulan also gave out their money to support Zhao Ya.

But it scared Zhao Ya to the side.

The uncle in charge of the gaming table could only sigh in his heart, the young masters and young ladies from wealthy families really dare to play.

Then, Zhao Zhitong and the others walked away under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

As soon as they left, everyone started talking about Zhao Zhitong and the others.

But most of them looked like they were watching the show, they were waiting to see how regretful Zhao Zhitong and the others would be after losing all their money.
