Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 464 Play
Qiuli loves exquisite jewellery. She didn't save any money in Xihuan Pavilion before, and whenever she had money, she used it to buy hairpins, pearls and hairpins. There were several boxes of various jewellery.

Fortunately, she has a good eye, and most of the items she chooses are made of gold and silver, which can preserve the value quite well, and she is not considered a prodigal.

Later, after following Gu Xiang, he was busy with work all day long, so he almost gave up most of this little hobby smoothly.

There are not many tricks in the countryside, but Qiuli can bear it. When she arrives in the capital, her purse is also swollen, and she is completely dazzled. She has been packing things in her jewelry box for the past few months. Looking at it now Going to the beaded crown on the stall, and hearing that a penny can be used to throw a dart, the light in his eyes almost burned the ground, he dragged Gu Xiang not to let go, and looked at Xue Ying eagerly.

Gu Xiang couldn't laugh or cry: "Ahem, if you want to play, you can obediently go by yourself, let Xueying do it, that's not bullying."

Qiu Li groaned: "She dares to set up such a stall. We can win jewelry with our ability, so there is nothing wrong with it. I have inquired all about it, and that kid has been setting up a stall for a long time, and I don't know how much money he has made. , you should let him bleed."

"It's a pity that the girls don't go out to play together. Le'er told me a few days ago that when she was at home, she was the best at Guanpu, archery, and darts. , she must be very good at playing this."

Gu Xiang smiled, that child Le'er is much more lively now, and even gossips and chats with Qiu Li and the others.

Qiu Li only babbled a few words, and went to Guanpu by herself, not wanting Xueying to help her cheat.

Gu Xiang was also curious, and forgot to look at the zongzi for a while, so he went up with Qiuli. Guanpu is obviously very popular in the capital, and there are dense crowds of heads around the stall, screaming from time to time.

"It's not difficult."

On the whole, it seems that the difficulty is not very high. There are some families in the capital, and the children, both men and women, have a hobby of throwing pots and archery. The accuracy of this dart is supposed to be much higher than that of people of his era.

But the disk is not big, and it is rotating. Although the speed of rotation is not fast, but when everyone throws darts, even a dozen or so darts may not be able to hit once.

It is even more difficult to win the first prize with the smallest area.

But the big guys are a bit over the top when they play, and they can't move their feet. Gu Xiang looked at it and understood why these people like it. This game is a bit difficult, but after playing it a few times, you can always win a small one. The rewards are only based on her calculations, the beads, handkerchiefs, shoes and hats are not worth the money they spent.

But this little thing always hooks everyone's hearts, and this activity is full of wit and wit.

Gu Xiang also saw that a customer almost won the first prize, and was so excited that he bought another [-]-cent dart in one go.

"Well, I want to try it. I think the beaded crown for the first prize is very exquisite. It really costs money, at least a dozen crowns."

Gu Xiang suddenly had the feeling that he was in the playground of later generations and was attracted by those small games such as hoops.

Xue Ying was startled, and blinked: "I can't hit it."

Gu Xiang: "Huh?"

It just so happened that a young man was throwing darts at this moment, and Gu Xiang could tell at a glance that this young man was quite vigorous, like a son of a family, he seemed to be skilled in archery since he was a child, and he was quite confident in archery, and he was confident when he stood up Very good looking.

Gu Xiang also heard him joking with his companion, saying that today he must make this peddler feel bad, his companion nodded repeatedly: "I think everyone is sending money to this kid, Xu, you should teach him a lesson!"

The young man stood still with a dart in his hand, with a solemn expression, and was aiming. Before the dart was shot, Gu Xiang heard Xue Ying say: "Up to three squares."

Sure enough, with a whoosh, the dart landed on the upper three squares.

Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "The disc spins so fast, before that kid makes a move, Xue Ying, you can see it right?"

A passing scholar who was watching the excitement behind them happened to hear Xue Ying's words, and when he saw the result, his eyes almost popped out.

Xue Ying hooked the corners of his lips, and said again: "No hit."

After her words fell, the young man made a move, but a dart hit the blank space of the disc, and he failed to win the bid.The young man clicked his tongue, puffed up his face, and frowned, his face full of disbelief.

His companion even laughed out loud.

Every time Xue Ying opened his mouth one step ahead, and every time he won, the scholars who were watching behind looked so excited that they thought Xue Ying could pinch and count, and was a demigod.

The one next to him felt that Xue Ying must be the best of the best. It seemed that if it wasn't too noisy at the moment, he would kneel down and hug his thigh to beg for a teacher.

Gu Xiang looked sideways at Xue Ying, Xue Ying smiled at her, and she immediately understood: "Oh, so that's the case, tsk."

At this time, Qiuli had already squeezed to the front.

Qiuli played darts very well, and this time she was full of confidence. Then she threw 27 darts in a row and hit 27 blanks.

Her face turned green for a moment, and she was so angry: "Give me another thirty darts!"

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, just play slowly."

Generally speaking, even if you don't get the first prize, you can still get a few consolation prizes. The most important thing is to have fun and have fun.

She simply let Qiuli go, um, what a pity, only the old dog and a few servants were left to take care of her, and she took Xue Ying to continue shopping, eating and drinking, after a walk, Gu Xiang was sure that no matter what she made of stuffing Zongzi, as long as it is delicious, all the gluttons in the capital can accept it.

If you don't pay attention, you may not even be able to compare with the small rice dumplings sold by the side of the road.

She saw all kinds of weird rice dumplings by the side of the road, some in the shape of tall buildings, some in the shape of a painting boat, and flowers, plants, trees, fish, etc. Regardless of the taste, just this pattern makes people feel fresh.

Gu Xiang and Xue Ying ate seven or eight stalls in one go, bought a lot of ingredients for making zongzi, and bought several long mugwort leaves. The price was five times more expensive than the short mugwort leaves, and the supply was still in short supply.

Nowadays, long mugwort leaves on the market are in short supply, and every family seems to think that the longer the mugwort leaves are, the better they are when making zongzi.

Gu Xiang didn't hold back either, and went to the countryside to do as the Romans did.

"Hey, prodigal."

The prodigal Gu Xiang was about to go home, but suddenly remembered that there was a girl left on the street, and hurriedly turned to look for it. As soon as he went back, he saw the old dog standing on the side of the street with a few servants, and Qiu Li was still locked there. darts.

Her face was all white, the veins on her forehead were exposed, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was very angry at first glance.

Gu Xiang glanced at it, then frowned: "Is this a miss?"

The old dog sighed, "Yes."

The spectators around were stunned. Several spectators laughed and persuaded: "Little lady is not lucky today, don't play anymore."

Qiu Li gritted her teeth and shook her head bitterly.

Even if it's just the easiest fifth-class dart, even if it's not worth the dart money she paid, she admits it. After playing for nearly an hour, her wrists are tired and swollen, and she doesn't hit it even once. How could she? Can you be willing?
