Crossing the Book: Raiders After the Villain Makes an Amulet
Chapter 37 The First Round of the Lottery
On the carriage, Jiang Fuyue leaned against Dong Xue, feeling exhausted for a while.
"Pretending to cry is hard work."
She was really tired.
Dongxue laughed lightly, and felt sorry for Jiang Fuyue again: "I never thought that the old lady would really kill Miss, she really got her heart broken."
Nanfeng also nodded vigorously.
Jiang Fuyue didn't feel anything.
When I was young, watching my grandfather, grandmother, and mother pass away one after another, I cherished the remaining relatives even more.
So even if she knew that her grandparents didn't like her, there was no disrespect, after all, it was her home.
Now there are more memories of the previous life, and the combination makes the two lives human.
With more experience, you can be cooler and lose the childish desire for relatives.
She said: "It's also fortunate that she really wanted to kill me, otherwise today's drama would not have ended perfectly. In the future, no one will use kinship and filial piety to coerce me."
The two maids followed with happy expressions.
"Is that lady going to rebuild the monarch's mansion?"
Jiang Fuyue caressed the jade pendant on her waist, and said slowly: "There's no rush, it's not the time, and it's not easy to start a family even if you haven't established a career."
Her family can't just be a low-level family. It should stand at the top of the Nanling region so as to live up to the glory of her ancestors.

Suzaku Street is a famous street in Fushui County.
Because there is a "Nanling King Temple" in the center of the street, it also occupies a huge open space.
But at this moment, the surrounding shops were crowded with people, and even the watchtower used to watch the fire was hung with "monkeys" one after another.
In the open space, the dragon dance team and the lion dance team competed with each other;
On the high stage, the opera singers sang the opera of the king of Nanling riding the wind to conquer the world;
The beauties outside the feudal clan danced on the beat of drums, and the artisans with painted faces pinched gorgeous fireworks out of thin air;
The fireworks in the corner have never stopped, and the cheers of the crowd are also wave after wave.
It really looks like New Year's Eve.
When the carriage arrived, the excitement everywhere stopped.
Jiang Fuyue got out of the car, carried her skirt, and walked up to the stage slowly.
When the crowd was quiet, she smiled and said: "I promised you earlier that I would congratulate me with a lottery draw. Today has come, and I think everyone has been waiting for a long time."
She turned her head to look not far away, and the crowd followed her gaze.
Not long after, someone arrived with a cart.
There are some weird barrels in the car.
Then, ten barrels were moved onto the table one after another and placed at the front.
Jiang Fuyue was too lazy to raise her voice, so she took a step back and Xue Cheng stepped forward to speak.
Xue Cheng sells goods at the pier. He has always had a loud voice and a lively personality, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Our Fushui County is a rich land, with about 10,000+ households. I think everyone is thinking, how to draw this prize?"
He made a fool of himself, and the people talked about it.
Someone raised the wooden sign in his hand and shouted: "Is this number plate used?!"
In the past seven days, many people have been dispatched to patrol the streets with gongs and drums.
For all the houses where lanterns are hung, someone will come to draw lots.
There are [-] numbered lottery sticks in a lottery tube, and a family draws seven sticks to form a seven-digit number. Then someone will write down the number as a backup, and write the number on the lottery and send it to the family for safekeeping.
Therefore, everyone guessed that the lottery draw was related to this number.
Xue Cheng smiled and nodded, "Since everyone has guessed it, let's start the first round directly."
"Here are ten lottery buckets, and each bucket contains thirty numbered balls, and each crank produces a number."
Xue Cheng stretched out his hand and shook the handle as a demonstration, and with a click, a numbered ball rolled down.
He picked up the number ball and showed it to everyone, "This is a number ball with zero seven."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone wrote "Zero Seven" on the large vacant wooden board.
"Shake it one by one, shake it seven times, and the number generated is the number of winning numbers!"
He followed suit, and soon, a string of numbers appeared on the wooden board.
Suddenly, a group of people in the audience exclaimed, they have understood the rules, isn't this the number in their hands!
Xue Cheng saw that everyone was aware of it, so he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he said: "To ensure fairness and justice, I will select ten children on the stage to shake the handle for us on stage, and those who are willing to come on stage can raise their hands! "
The people burst into cheers.
On the attic near the square, Patriarch Meng and Patriarch Xie also came to join in the fun out of curiosity.
The two occupied a high place and were drinking together. Seeing this scene, the head of the Meng family said with emotion: "This method is very novel."
Patriarch Xie thought thoughtfully, "Indeed, I was looking forward to the moment when the numbered ball landed."
Jiang Fuyue was sitting at the end, watching the commotion below.
It is naturally troublesome to ask the whole city to participate in the lottery, so she used the "lottery ball" method in her previous life.
The bucket shaker is not difficult to make. There are many skilled craftsmen in Fushui County, especially in the shipyard, many of them know how to organize it.
She only gave a rough description, and all the barrels were delivered that day.
Among the crowd, the younger ones all feel their hands are high, and they have the courage to throw their arms away.
Even a few over-aged people couldn't help shouting to go on stage.
Xue Cheng quickly selected ten children around ten years old.
Then he showed the empty bucket to everyone, and gave the number to the children to verify, and after verification, put the number ball into the bucket.
Then came the first round of draws.
In the first wave, one hundred taels of Bank of China will be drawn, that is, ten rounds will be drawn together, and ten rounds will also be drawn.
The audience held their breath.
Xue Cheng's heart was also pounding. This sense of anticipation made him a little excited.
This will ask ten children, "Are you all ready?"
"it is good!"
"Get ready, shake!"
Ten balls fell one after another, and the ten children each picked up their own balls and shouted the numbers.
"One hundred and one!"
"Four!"
"Twenty!"
……
The guy dropped numbers one by one on the wooden board from top to bottom.
In the crowd, the first one to win cheered.
The second time, the third time, the fourth time... When it was the seventh time, the scene suddenly fell silent.
After a pause, someone suddenly yelled: "I've hit—I've hit—it's me, the third line is me—"
Just like the imperial examination, the people who got the list kept cheering.
Xue Cheng did not interrupt everyone's interest.
Five more rounds came in succession, and fifty hundred taels winners were drawn out.
The excitement of the crowd continued for a long time.
Just before the sixth round, the crowd turned from excitement to exhaustion.
Dong Xue came up from the stage and said: "Miss, Master Shen and my aunt both sent people to ask Miss when to clarify Miss Biao's matter."
Jiang Fuyue yawned gracefully, she nodded, "It's almost there, it's time to put the advertisement."
Dong Xue went to inform Xue Cheng.
Xue Cheng raised his hand and raised his voice and said, "Everyone is tired too, so let's rest for a quarter of an hour, and let our lady say a few words. After a quarter of an hour, we will conduct the remaining five rounds of lucky draws for one hundred taels of silver."
"Pretending to cry is hard work."
She was really tired.
Dongxue laughed lightly, and felt sorry for Jiang Fuyue again: "I never thought that the old lady would really kill Miss, she really got her heart broken."
Nanfeng also nodded vigorously.
