Chapter 12 Playing
After Qi Yukun went to Danfeng Academy to study, life seemed to slow down suddenly.

On the fifth day of April, Qi Juemin, the head of the Qi family in Wuzhou, came to visit Mr. Jiang, and brought Qi Shisanniang, an orphan from the fourth room of the Qi family.

The day of the spring election is set on April [-], when Qi Shisanniang will be sent to the palace to participate in the election.

Although Mrs. Qi and Qi Tanying didn't like Qi Juemin, but Qi Shisanniang had no grudges against them. They came to visit specially. The mother and daughter couldn't neglect her, so they had to borrow the place of Jiang's parents' house to entertain her.

Seeing Shisanniang Qi, Mrs. Qi couldn't help sighing. Fortunately, there was someone in charge of their fifth house, otherwise it would be her daughter who was sent to the palace to participate in the spring election.

Qi Shisanniang was born in the fourth room of the Qi family. Her parents died young and she was raised by the uncle in the next room.Seeing that they have reached the age of marriage, they can't help themselves to make decisions about the marriage.

Seemingly sensible, she came to Jiang's house as a guest and brought gifts for Qi Tanying and the girls of Jiang's house.

Although it is not expensive, it is still novel and interesting.The four girls in Jiang's family are not much different in age, and they are all playful ages, and they like those gadgets very much.

Qi Shisanniang is gentle and patient, always answering questions. The four sisters changed their names from Qi to Shisan in a short time, especially Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei. Even the serious cousin Qi Tanying was forgotten by them. .

Qi Tanying watched Qi Shisanniang calmly, and finally understood why there were so many girls of the right age in the old house in Wuzhou, why the family chose Qi Shisanniang to run in Beijing.

Nothing more than three reasons.

First, Qi Shisanniang has just turned 16 years old this year. She has a beautiful appearance, a graceful figure, a pair of beautiful eyes as clear as water, and a complexion as jade-like. Her beauty is her greatest asset.

Second, both of Qi Shisanniang's parents died, and she was raised by her family members since she was a child. Whether she entered the palace or married, she could only rely on her family.Such a person is best controlled.

Third, although Qi Shisanniang is young, because she lived under the fence since she was a child, she has developed the ability to observe words and emotions early on, and it has become her instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If such a person is successfully selected, no matter where he goes, he can earn a lot of money by his own ability.

In addition, Qi Tanying found that she was quite good at being a peacemaker.

More than half of the trinkets she brought from Wuzhou were imported, including a kaleidoscope with exquisite workmanship.Jiang Mei fell in love with it at a glance, and without thinking about it, she hugged her into her arms.

Jiang Yao from the second room also took a fancy to the kaleidoscope and asked Jiang Mei to give her the kaleidoscope.Although Jiang Mei was reluctant to give up, but Jiang Yao brought up the rhetoric of seniority and inferiority, Jiang Mei could only compromise.

Just when she was about to give the kaleidoscope to Jiang Yao, Jiang Zhi snatched it away, "Whoever gets it first will get it. Why should Big Sister give it to you?"

Jiang Yao didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, "It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. The eldest sister loves the younger sisters the most on weekdays. The second sister and the eldest sister are inseparable every day. Why don't you know how to learn from the eldest sister?" OK?"

Jiang Zhi sneered when she heard the words: "Third younger sister is getting better at sowing dissension and telling stories. Do you think that if you say that, I will do what you want and have a relationship with the eldest sister? You are just dreaming!"

Jiang Yao didn't think that a few words could make Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei feel bad, but she just liked to see Jiang Zhi's angry look.

However, with getting older and Mrs. Jiang's advice, Jiang Zhi is no longer as impulsive as before.

Jiang Yao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed because she didn't see what she wanted to see.

Qi Shisanniang saw the friction between the sisters clearly. She stepped forward to pick up the kaleidoscope that caused the sisters' discord, and said with self-blame, "It's all my fault. I thought this kaleidoscope was interesting, but I forgot that I only got this one." This made the two sisters of the Jiang family feel bad about it."

Jiang Zhi quickly waved her hand, "Sister Thirteen, please don't say that, it's none of your business at all."

Jiang Yao also said: "Second sister and I have always been like this, we've gotten used to it long ago, don't think too much about it, Thirteenth sister."

Qi Shisanniang smiled when she heard the words, "Thank you sisters for your understanding."

She picked out three things from a box full of trinkets, which were carved ivory snuff bottles, a music box, and a box of glazed balls with pictures of the twelve zodiac signs embedded in them.

"These are bought in the same store as the kaleidoscope, and the prices are similar. They are all very interesting." After speaking, show them one by one.

The four girls of the Jiang family were indeed attracted by the three things she brought out. Qi Shisanniang smiled, put the previous kaleidoscope with them, and suggested that Jiang Zhi and the others should choose again, and she It is also proposed to use the auction method.

Each of the four Jiang family sisters took ten wooden sticks, and Qi Shisanniang acted as the auctioneer. The four items were auctioned in turn. The four Jiang family sisters gave corresponding wooden sticks at the same time according to their own wishes. People get that lot.

The first round of bidding was for the kaleidoscope. Jiang Mei took out all ten wooden sticks, Jiang Zhi didn't get one, Jiang Yao got three, and Jiang Yue got one.Jiang Mei got the kaleidoscope as she wished.

The second round of bidding was for ivory snuff bottles.Because Jiang Mei has already got what she wants, she cannot participate in the remaining rounds.Jiang Zhi still didn't have one root, Jiang Yao still had three, and Jiang Yue had five.The snuff bottle was taken down by Jiang Yue.

The third round of auction was the music box. At this time, there were only two bidders left, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yao. After the auction started, both of them offered ten wooden sticks. Who.

Qi Shisanniang was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to solve this problem. Qi Tanying, who watched the whole auction process from the side, had an idea.

"Sister Thirteen might as well write down the number with a pen. Cousin Zhi and Third Miss Jiang draw wooden sticks according to their own guesses. The one who is closest to the number written by Younger Thirteen wins."

After hearing this, Qi Shisanniang's eyes lit up, she asked Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yao with her eyes, neither of them objected, it was time to try their luck.

After Qi Shisanniang finished writing the numbers, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yao began to produce wooden sticks, Jiang Zhi counted nine and Jiang Yao six.After the wooden sticks were drawn, the two waited with bated breath for Qi Shisanniang to announce the result.

Qi Shisanniang unfolded the note she had written earlier, and saw the word "百" written on it.Jiang Yao produced six wooden sticks, which were closest to the numbers she wrote.Jiang Yao got the music box, and the remaining glass balls belonged to Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Yao couldn't put it down playing with the music box. When she saw Jiang Zhi's regretful eyes, she said triumphantly: "Second sister, I know you like this too, but who made me so lucky."

Jiang Zhi didn't want to meet her: "I'm willing to admit defeat, so I won't renege on my debt." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to her.

Qi Shisanniang eased the quarrel between Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yao by playing games, and the atmosphere became very harmonious.

But the elders did not get along very well.

Qi Juemin learned that Jiang's family and Changxing Palace were about to become in-laws, so he came up with the idea of ​​Changxing Palace, and wanted to let Qi Shisanniang enter the palace to participate in the election through the way of the palace.

These people really dare to think of anything.Mrs. Qi was the first to reject him without Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang asking.

Unwilling to give up, Qi Juemin used Qi Tanying's marriage as a threat, and Mrs. Jiang drove him out angrily.

 Today's second update, thank you for your support, I wish you a happy reading!
