Land in the capital is at a premium, so it is naturally impossible to build a racecourse in the city. On the outskirts of the capital, next to the Qinghe Pier, with the unification of the empire, commerce has gradually prospered. In addition to the exchange of goods on the wharf, a large-scale waste collection center has also naturally formed here.
Although it is a market, it is also well-equipped. The most popular thing about the market among the people in the capital is the Jockey Club. This Jockey Club is a polo arena in this other world. It is called Juju. The horse teams are divided into two teams, five people per team. Teams compete with each other, the battle is fierce, and it is full of attractions. In the capital, many dignitaries come here for entertainment. Of course, they also spend money on gambling. This is also the most attractive place for the dignitaries.
Dia Melissa and her group came here. When the venue organizers saw the people and horses, they knew they were either rich or noble, so they immediately arranged for the group to enter the high platform of the racecourse to watch the game. This is the highest point of the racecourse, with the best view and a wooden screen. There are dozens of compartments, and a waiter is arranged in each compartment to serve the dignitaries who come here to gamble.
After Dia Melissa took her seat, there was a ball game going on in the racecourse. The knights in red armor and the knights in blue armor held long poles and rode their horses back and forth to compete for the polo ball. Dust and smoke filled the racecourse for a while, and ordinary spectators under the high platform watched the fierce game. They all shouted and cheered for the horse team they had bet on.
Dia Melissa, the maid, the captain of the mountain puppet guard, etc. were all attracted by the exciting and fierce competition for a while.
Seeing the tall horses under the Central Plains knights, the maid sighed: "Princess, no wonder we, Taisha, were defeated. The Northerners of the Central Plains can raise such tall horses, wouldn't they be invincible on the battlefield? The horses of our Taisha cavalry are, compared to The horses from Beirao in the Central Plains are as skinny as donkeys.”
The maid is a Taisha woman who was married to Shanpou along with Princess Diya Melissa. She has always been with the princess and is her intimate.
Hearing this, Dia Melissa also sighed with emotion: "Yes, Chao Shangbang is indeed something we, Tesha, cannot afford to offend."
The two women were chatting enthusiastically. Suddenly, the blue team on the racecourse broke through the red team's defense and hit the polo into the goal with one blow. Warm cheers erupted on the scene. The two women were also attracted by the wonderful game.
The waiter in the box was holding a plate with chips for betting on the team. Seeing that the two girls were attracted by the game, the waiter lost no time in stepping forward to sell:
"My lord, since you think the game is exciting, the wooden chips in this plate are used to bet on the two teams. The one who wins the bet will get ten times the profit."
When Dia Melissa heard this, she immediately got excited and invested thousands of dollars to bet on the blue team to win. Sure enough, not long after, the blue team finally won and won the championship in one fell swoop. This Dia Melissa was so excited that the audience cheered for Blue. The team cheered.
The waiter immediately brought over tens of thousands of gold and presented it to her. Melisa was so happy that she rewarded all the gold she won to her personal maid and the captain of the guard. The two of them suddenly received a huge sum of money and were overjoyed. They thanked the princess for the reward.
Diya Melissa lived deep in the palace, stretched out her hands when she was wearing clothes, and opened her mouth when food came. She had no concept of money at all.
The game continued, and Diya Melissa was intoxicated. She bet thousands of dollars on every game, but she lost less and won more. She made nine out of ten bets and won 60,000 gold. In several games, she even made continuous bets. Won six games.
If you win three or more games in a row, the racecourse attendants will announce it in public and beat drums to celebrate, let alone winning six games in a row, which attracts the sidelong glances of the dignitaries who are watching the battle on the high platform.
Although the wooden screen isolated the two sides, the people on the opposite side of the compartment could clearly see Dia Melissa, the lucky star. When the dignitaries saw that she was actually a beautiful foreign woman, they started talking even more. It is speculated that they may be members of the envoys from all nations who have recently come to see the emperor. After all, the capital has never seen so many foreigners in so many years.
At this time, Diya Melissa won another gambling game and was cheering happily. A field attendant came up with a wooden slip and respectfully presented it to Diya Melissa.
Dia Melissa took the wooden tablet and was a little confused. She opened it and looked at it for a few times. She was sure that she could not recognize the words on the wooden tablet, so she asked the waiter: "What is this?"
When the waiter saw this, he suddenly understood that this beautiful woman did not know the Chinese character Zhongyuan, so he laughed sarcastically, pointed at a young man holding a folding fan in the elegant room on the opposite side of the high platform, and explained: "I would like to teach you that this is the forty-sixth century." Invitation letter No. Yajian Guirao, he hopes to get to know you."
Dia Melissa understood as soon as she heard that someone was taking advantage of her, and she didn't take it seriously. She and her sister, Princess Lina, had a lot of friends around them, and they had long been used to the flattery of strange men. , now that she has already married her sweetheart, she will not pay attention to this so-called invitation letter.
As Princess Tessa, Dia Melissa was annoyed by people interrupting her interest in gambling, but she still politely returned the wooden tablet to the waiter, expressing her refusal, and the waiter bowed and left the private room.
As soon as Diya Melissa rejected the invitation from the dignitary in the No. 46 private room, several waiters from other private rooms came and presented invitations in an attempt to get to know her. Although there was no shortage of beauties around these dignitaries, But the exotic beauty of a foreign beauty like Dia Melissa is really rare. Seeing that Dia Melissa had become the focus of the Jockey Club, she simply ordered the waiter not to accept any so-called invitations. Finally it stopped.
The game continued, and Dia Melissa called the waiter to overpower the red team to win. This time the polo match was still extremely fierce, but this time the red team she had bet on was eliminated. Seeing this, Dia Melissa couldn't help but I think the game is exciting when there are losses and wins.
Dia Melissa continued to bet on football, but it seemed that she had finally used up her good luck this time, losing three games in a row and losing a lot of money. Although she was not short of money, she could not help but look annoyed.
At this moment, the waiter came to Diya Melissa's private room with a reward worth ten thousand gold and said, "My lord, you have won again this time."
When Dia Melissa heard this, she looked surprised and asked, "I obviously bet on the blue team to win, so why is there a bounty?"
The waiter pointed to the man in the private room No. 46 before and explained: "To tell you, it was the noble man in No. 46 who bet on the red team for you, so he won a lot of money. "
Dia Melissa was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but look at Room No. 46, and saw the man gently shaking his folding fan and slightly nodding to the beauty from a distance.
Dia Melissa said to the waiter: "No need, you can take it back. This is not the money I won."
When the waiter heard this, he had no choice but to leave the private room. He was only responsible for delivering the message. The people on this high platform were either rich or noble, and no one could afford to offend him.
Seeing her master frowning, the maid guessed that her master was getting a little tired of being harassed over and over again, so she suggested: "Princess, it's too late for sex. We also won a lot of money. How about we go to Qingyang Huadeng Street for some fun?" Bar?"
After hearing this, Melissa's eyes lit up, and she agreed to the maid's suggestion, then left the racecourse and went back to the city to go shopping on the lantern street.
This lantern street was visited by Diya Melissa when she first came to Qingyang with the mission. The street is located in Dongcheng District. There are shops decorated with various lanterns on both sides, selling everything, including food. It has a wide range of clothing and is especially famous for its various pastries.
As soon as night comes, the merchants in Qingyang Huadeng Street light up lights, and the various lanterns are the best signboards. This is also a famous night market in Qingyang City. It is usually crowded with tourists and bustling. Until the beginning of Haishi, the whole city There was a curfew in the city, all streets in the city were closed, and the lieutenant army guarding the capital began to patrol the streets. Only then did the prosperity of Huadeng Street disappear overnight, as if it had returned to silence overnight.
Dia Melissa has a special liking for Huadeng Street, and she comes here almost every day to have fun, and today is no exception. She is dressed in gorgeous clothes and hires the unique two-person bearer on Huadeng Street to visit here.
Dia Melissa looked like a human being, and she was guarded by twenty Nanman warriors in strange costumes. Every time she came here to go shopping, she attracted everyone's attention, and she became a scene in Huadeng Street.
