The area around Danyang Lake is very lively at this time, not because of any festival, but because today is the day when Wanghu Restaurant opens, and it is also the day when the four great talents of Ningsu compete with Yun Zewen.
There were many people coming, including dignitaries, literati, and ordinary people. When there were more people, of course there were more small businessmen and hawkers.
Because of the opening of Wanghu Restaurant, this area of Danyang has almost become a tourist attraction. But having said that, there are usually a lot of people here, but today there are especially many.
Yunze walked along the lakeside boulevard with the two little girls beside him, surrounded by people coming and going, as well as many small stalls and vendors.
Although the two little girls are still immature, their outstanding looks still attract the attention of many passers-by, and they have a 100% return rate. The eyes of those people made sisters Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi look shy.
They held Yunze's hand nervously, feeling a little unable to let go, because the previous beating and scolding of their sisters had made the originally lively and cheerful sisters feel a little inferior and afraid to see others.
"It's been a long time since I took you out to play. You can have fun for a while... Go!" Yunze caressed the heads of the two sisters lovingly.
"But... sir, will it delay the opening of the restaurant and Wen Dou?" Luo Yunchang said timidly after hearing this. However, she and her sister looked at the surrounding vendors with curiosity and expectation in their eyes.
Yunze smiled.
"It doesn't matter, let Miss Luo and Uncle Fu handle the opening of the restaurant. Wen Dou's matter is not urgent. Anyway, the time has not come yet. You can have fun in peace of mind."
Hearing this, the two sisters hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the attraction of various small items and snacks on the vendors, and tentatively approached one of the small stalls.
There are many gadgets for sale there, including red thread, concentric knots, combs, small bronze mirrors, rouge and gouache, etc.
Luo Yunniang fell in love with one of the concentric knots at a glance. She held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time. She didn't know what she thought of, and blushed for a while.
Luo Yunxi looked at those small bronze mirrors and combs with fondness on her face. They had these things before, but it was a pity that Yunze pawned them. Now when they wash themselves, they basically look at the water.
After watching for a long time, the two girls reluctantly put down their things and prepared to leave. Although they had money now, Yunze also gave the two sisters almost a few hundred taels of silver.
But Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi are used to saving. Although these things are not worth a few pennies, they are reluctant to buy them.
Seeing the two sisters put down their things and prepare to leave, the stall owner who was originally happy looked disappointed.
"Wrap these things..." Yunze shook his head and said to the boss with a smile. Now that he is slowly getting rich, of course he will not suffer the two sisters.
Whether it was useful or useless, Yunze just bought, bought, bought... He almost bought out everything on the stall.
"Ms. sir, it's such a waste. We can't use it... don't buy it... we..." Luo Yunniang was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Yunze's hand.
It was so wasteful. Many of these things were just for decoration, like the rouge and gouache. Although she liked it, she had never used it.
Yunze smiled slightly, paid the money anyway, took the things and gave them to the two sisters. Luo Yunniang held the thing in her hand, her eyes slightly red. Luo Yunxi held Yunze's hand tighter.
When walking to the next stall, Luo Yunniang no longer dared to go there. Although her and her sister's eyes were full of longing, the two sisters were afraid that Yun Zecheng would spend money and buy again!
But they wanted to save money, but Yunze didn't want to suffer them. The two sisters had already suffered too much, and now was the time to compensate them. Why does he make money? It's not to make the two sisters live a better life.
Ignoring the reluctance of the two sisters, they kept buying, buying, buying again! I bought a bunch of things for fun and use, and the two sisters almost couldn't hold them anymore.
Although the two sisters looked distressed, their eyes were full of smiles, and their smiles gradually became brighter. They felt Yunze's love for them.
When they were almost done shopping, they were almost in front of Wanghu Restaurant. There were more people here. Looking up, they could see thousands of people. These people were surrounding Wanghu Restaurant in twos and threes. Looking over there from time to time.
At this time, a huge high platform was lined up in front of the restaurant, and dozens of rows of benches were arranged under the high platform. The high platform is divided into two sides. There are a few tables and chairs on one side. There are also tables and chairs placed in the middle of the high platform.
That's where the referees sit. Since it's a literary fight, of course someone has to be the referee. Yunze did not take action on this matter, but left full responsibility to Luo Qingcen.
The high platform is the arena for literary fighting, and there are benches placed below. It is for those who come to watch the battle.
However, it was not the time for the literary battle yet, and there were still some people with status who had not arrived. All in all, the venue seemed empty.
As for those people around, they came to watch the excitement. They didn't have seats, but these people didn't care. They just wanted to watch the excitement. Even if it means standing.
Next to Wanghu Restaurant, someone actually set up tables and chairs, placed bets there, and pulled a banner behind them.
"Fugui Casino Wen Dou Handicap, all gamblers are welcome to place bets." Under the banner are the odds of both sides. Such a blatant opening of the handicap made Yunze a little stunned.
The odds that belonged to him were 15 to 1, and the person who presided over the handicap was known to Yunze, Liu San, the proprietor of Fugui Gambling House. This guy is a well-known ruffian in Danyang City.
However, he is not the boss of Fugui Casino. The boss behind the scenes is the Huang family to be precise. And they were backed by the master of Danyang Mansion. Just like the Zheng family.
Having said that, on the surface he is the master of Danyang Prefecture, but the real supporter behind the scenes is probably the prefect of Danyang Prefecture. Otherwise, a gambling house would be opened here in broad daylight. No one has the guts yet.
Yunze sighed and walked through the gambling hall with his two sisters. He had no money, so he had to give up the opportunity to make a lot of money. Otherwise, he will definitely cause the Huang family to bleed.
The Luo Yuniang sisters beside him also quickly pulled Yunze away. They were afraid that Yunze would get addicted to gambling again.
However, Yunze wanted to leave, but someone was unwilling. Liu San, who was opening the market, saw Yunze at a glance and said in a strange way:
"Hey, isn't this our Mr. Yun! I haven't been to a gambling house for a long time. Is this a quitting gambling? Come on, today is such a good opportunity, why don't you place a bet? Don't worry, even if you bet, you will win. As long as you know that you are not good enough, I, Liu San, am willing to accept the bet!"
Hearing this, Yunze stopped and looked at the other party's joking eyes, with a cold light in his eyes. This guy had done a lot of tricks to his predecessor along with Huang Shen.
Although this was a grudge from his previous life, since he had become Yunze, of course he had to avenge himself. Huang Shen would kill him, or find an opportunity to kill Liu San as well.
Originally, he didn't want to be troublesome, but the guy in front of him was secretly saying that he would lose.
