Chapter 139
With Ye Wenying's full supervision, the collection of poems was printed three days later, and anyone with a work in the collection would receive a free copy as a souvenir.There are more than 2000 copies left, which are sold in bookstores.According to the third brother, they were sold out in one day.Later, it was printed several times, with one tael of silver each.I made back all the money I spent on that day.
The average number of people who participated in the poetry meeting bought ten or twenty copies, and they gave them away to show off.Many of them were sold to scholars, who bought them for themselves out of admiration.
It is said that people in Luozhou who read poetry collections felt that the poems written by talented women were better than those written by talented men.This surprised many people in Luozhou.When the collection of poems spread to Guanzhong, the talented people in Guanzhong were dissatisfied, thinking that the quality of the talented people in Luozhou was too low.They also gathered a hundred talented people to write poems with the same title and published a collection of poems as evidence.
After holding the poetry meeting that shocked the whole city, Ye Xueying decided to organize a larger event.In Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, she chose to play chess because the outcome was clear and there would be no dispute.If you compete in calligraphy, painting or piano, it will take a long time and troublesome.
On the second day of the poetry meeting, Ye Xueying held a go contest for all the girls in the city. This time, it is not limited to ladies from official families. Any girl from a good family can sign up at Luocheng Restaurant, and only need to pay a registration fee of one tael of silver.
The registration fee of two taels of silver is actually to prevent people from joining in the fun if they don't know how to download it.
Ye Xueying asked people to post notices throughout the city, and said that the top 500 girls would receive prizes, and the top [-] girls would each be rewarded with a gold hairpin worth [-] taels, and would personally entertain the top [-] girls.
Girls all over the city became excited, and more than 800 girls signed up.
After receiving the registration booklet, Ye Xueying was secretly proud when she saw so many people signing up.Miss Ben's charisma is strong, and there are so many people who respond to an order?
After being proud, I was a little worried, how to deal with so many people participating in the competition?
The Hou Mansion would not allow so many people to come and play, even the big restaurants in Luocheng would not be able to sit down.
She summoned Ye Wenying.
When Ye Wenying heard about this, she immediately patted her chest and said, "Xue'er! Leave this matter to the third brother. The third brother will help you handle it."
Ye Wenying turned around and found a wealthy businessman and asked him to borrow a large house in the city.
It happened to be sunny these days, so we set up a pergola in the garden to serve as a temporary competition venue.
An elimination system will be used in the early stages of the competition.These girls participated in batches, 600 people a day, and it took three days to complete the preliminaries.
Ye Xueying invited Ouyang Yue and ten other official ladies to sit at the scene.
On the fourth day, the top [-] started the round robin.
Ye Xueying had nothing to do, so she personally took charge of the game and served as the chief referee.Ouyang Yue acted as the deputy chief referee.
Ouyang Yue quietly asked: "Master President, why don't you participate in the competition?"
Ye Xueying smiled and whispered: "I don't need this opportunity to become famous, so why not give it to someone who needs it more."
Ouyang Yue said regretfully: "If the president takes action, he will definitely win first place."
Ye Xueying nodded with a smile.
She turned around a few times and saw it.When it comes to writing poetry, girls in Los Angeles really don't scare men.But when it comes to playing chess, the level is far behind that of men.
Measured by the level of system skills, among the more than 100 girls, the one with the highest chess skills is in the early third level.It is generally at the lower middle level of the second level.
If Ye Xueying, a Level [-] Chess player, really wants to end up, she will be bullying her little friends.This is like a world champion running to a small town and bullying the amateur Go players in the town.
Three days later, the top [-] were determined.
Ye Xueying announced the ranking outside the Luocheng Restaurant and hosted a banquet for the top [-] ladies at the restaurant.She booked the Los Angeles Restaurant that day by herself.
This time, no one can guard against Ye Wenying, this restaurant belongs to him!He sneaked in and hid in a wing room to see enough.
Ye Xueying found out, but she could only pretend not to know.
Before the banquet, Ye Xueying held a small awards ceremony.
Each of the top ten masters, Ye Xueying, was given a specially made exquisite gold hairpin, with the words of the number of the Luo City Golden Hairpin Go Tournament engraved on it in a certain year and month.The ones behind the ten are all silver hairpins of the same style.
After the awards were presented, it was natural to order to drink and have fun together.
During the banquet, Ye Xueying naturally accompanied the top ten winning girls at the table.
After a few rounds of wine, a girl named Wang Xiujuan couldn't help asking, "Miss Ye, why didn't you participate in the competition?"
It is said that Ye Xueying is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if she has not seen her end, people who are not familiar with Ye Xueying will inevitably have doubts.
Ye Xueying smiled and said: "I organized this competition. If I end up, it will inevitably be unfair to you. My original intention is to call the sisters out to have fun and meet new friends."
Wang Xiujuan won No.1 this time, so she smiled and said, "Do you make friends with chess?"
Ye Xueying nodded with a smile.
Wang Xiujuan said: "After the banquet, can I ask Ms. Ye for advice?"
She really wanted to see how skilled the legendary Miss Ye was at chess.
Ye Xueying glanced at the people on the table and saw that they were all eager to try.She agreed with a smile.As a result, everyone else also had to compete with Miss Ye.
There were 12 people on the table, five of the top ten had played against Miss Ye, although they knew they were invincible.But such a rare opportunity to play chess with Miss Ye must be fought for.
Ye Xueying agreed to all of them.
After the banquet, in the restaurant, Ye Xueying set up ten chess tables and played against the top ten at the same time.
She walked among the ten tables like a leisurely stroll, making a random move as she passed by.After playing, there was still extra time to drink tea and chat with Ouyang Yue.
Half an hour later, the top ten female chess players all surrendered with pale faces.
The eyes of the other girls looking at Ye Xueying changed, and at the same time they were against the top ten in the city, forcing them all to admit defeat in the middle game.Miss Ye's chess skills are obviously higher than theirs.Everyone looked at Miss Ye with eyes looking up to the gods.
Ye Xueying didn't get any favors, this kind of result had been expected by her.She was not surprised to win against these girls, nor did she feel that there was anything to be proud of.
The reason why she played with ten people at the same time was that she was just lazy, so she wanted to solve it at once, so as not to come to the door one by one for an appointment, which would be too troublesome.
Ouyang Yue was extremely proud, even happier than she had won.Hum!If you dare to challenge our president, you are asking for trouble.
The list of the top [-] players in the Nobila Go Tournament quickly spread throughout the city.The girls who won the top ten were very proud, showing off their gold hairpins for the Marquis Award everywhere.This honor is worth showing off for a lifetime.
The gold hairpin is worth 500 taels of silver, which is simply the most precious dowry for the three young ladies in the top ten.Entering the top ten this time, it was known to the whole city, and it also greatly increased their social status.
The chess game that Ye Xueying defeated the top ten at the same time also spread, and she became the recognized female chess king in Los Angeles.
Ye Xueying organized the two events with great momentum, attracting the attention of the whole city, and no one knew about them.
