Facing their ridicule, Yu Jiuer was not angry. She slowly straightened her clothes and said arrogantly, "You can't even beat that reckless man Wang Zhen. You might as well go back and honor your parents as soon as possible!"

"From what you said, you can handle him?" Xiao Yun still has some intelligence.

"Are you interested in a competition? Let me show you how powerful the people of Yinshan are!" Yu Jiuer said arrogantly.

Someone laughed at him, "You? Don't be silly. Cuju is not embroidery. With your gorgeous appearance and thin arms and legs, you'd better be a bunny god in Qingfeng Pavilion!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"What? Are you afraid of losing? Do you dare to compete with a bet of one thousand taels?" Yu Jiuer ignored their dirty talk, she came for the money.

Yutao and Chengan's hearts trembled. They were not as brave as Yujiuer. They wanted to go in but not out!

Xiao Yun rubbed his hands together and said, "One thousand taels? What a boast! Just to get back the money I gave you to buy that crappy book a few days ago!"

The game started and Cheng An went on stage with gritted teeth. He had only practiced for three days, so how could he win?

Since there were only two people on Yu Jiuer's side, Xiao Yun also sent out two people.

The rule is that there are no goalkeepers on either side, and the game is limited to one incense stick. The team that scores more goals wins.

"Should I give you two balls? It will save people from saying that I, the son of the Zhenbei Marquis, bully the people of Yinshan!"

Yu Jiuer sneered: "No need!"

"You don't know what's good for you. Don't lose so much that you embarrass yourself in the northwest! Watch out!" As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, he rushed forward.

Yu Jiuer dribbled the ball and dodged it deftly, then turned sideways and passed the ball to Cheng An. Seeing Cheng An's nervousness, Yu Jiuer encouraged him loudly: "Cheng An, if we can use what we have practiced for the past three days, we will not lose. Believe me!"

With Yu Jiuer's words, Cheng An's heart inexplicably calmed down, and he focused on luring the enemy!

"Goal!"

Yu Jiuer took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and kicked a goal. Xiao Yun and the other man touched their heads, still not realizing how they scored the goal.

After suffering a loss once, Xiao Yun dared not underestimate the enemy again.

But within an incense stick of time, Xiao Yun's team, who had been so arrogant, opened their eyes wide, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"This is weird! How come the ball is attracted by the foot of the top scholar and listens to her?"

"How about changing the ball?"

As a result, the ball was changed three times.

After one stick of incense was up, Yu Jiuer won the game with a ten-goal advantage.

Xiao Yun refused to believe it and had another fight, but in the end he had to admit defeat exhausted!

"Great! The top scholar is indeed a hidden talent!"

Yu Jiuer panted and laughed a little exaggeratedly, cupping her hands and saying, "Thank you! Thank you!"

I earned two thousand taels from these two games, that’s so cool!

If she wasn't in a hurry to get home, she would have wiped out these noble sons.

Xiao Yun took the opportunity to invite: "Next month we will have the final against Wang Zhen. How about Tanhua joining us and catching him off guard?"

"No! We have urgent business to rush back to Yinshan!"

Yu Jiuer waved her hand to refuse, bent down to pack her things and went back. She deliberately shook her coat, and a picture album accidentally fell to the ground.

"Hey! What is this? The person playing Cuju in this booklet is so lifelike! There are even technical notes below!" Someone picked it up and flipped through it with a look of amazement.

Everyone rushed over to take a look.

Yu Jiuer pretended to snatch it and stuffed it into her arms: "Hey, hey, hey! This is my Yu family's heirloom, don't look at it without permission!"

"Tanhua, Tanhua, please don't! We are strangers who know each other through fighting, don't be so stingy! Let me take a look!" Xiao Yun was well-known for his obsession with Cuju and he wanted to kneel down to Yu Jiuer.

Yu Jiuer shook her head and said, "The Cuju skills in this booklet are the result of the hard work of several generations of my Yu family. According to the ancestral precepts of the Yu family, the booklet cannot be leaked at will. Otherwise, you will be considered an unfilial descendant and will not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb after death!"

Xiao Yun was choked and thought, yes, after all, it is a family heirloom and there are ancestral teachings, so it is not easy to force it.

“You have to pay!”

Xiao Yun: “???”

After looking at his teammates and confirming that the words just said came from the mouth of the third place winner, everyone's eyes lit up at the same time!

Yu Jiuer: "You can't just leak it out, you have to pay for it!"

Xiao Yun was secretly delighted: "One thousand taels?" Let's test the water first.

Yu Jiuer acted like a gangster: "One thousand taels can read five pages! This booklet has exactly fifty pages, and it will cost ten thousand taels to finish reading it! I'll give you one stick of incense, and return it to me after you finish reading it!"

Xiao Yun frowned slightly, probably thinking that spending ten thousand taels just to take a look was a bit expensive. Others were also wondering whether it was worth it.

"How do I know if this booklet is useful? I'll give you two thousand taels. Let's read ten pages first!" Xiao Yun felt greedy and couldn't help taking out the banknotes.

"make a deal!"

Half an incense stick later, this group of young men from aristocratic families were still enthusiastically flipping through and discussing the book, and they couldn't put it down.

"Time's up! Give it back to me!" Yu Jiuer said as she reached out to pull the book back.

Xiao Yun and his companions were greatly inspired and benefited a lot from the first ten pages. Now they are still not satisfied, so how could they give up?

A tall and polite man said shamelessly: "Tanhua, we can't remember much even if we just took a quick look! It would be great if we could buy it out!"

This request was shameless enough, as it subverted the secular ethics and morals that these children from aristocratic families had been taught since childhood. However, everyone was really itching to read this booklet.

Xiao Yun was a little embarrassed. He really made a bad friend. How could he make such a shameless request? Isn't this violating the ancestral teachings and putting others in an unjust position?

"You have to pay more!"

Everyone was stunned again: "......"

Could it be that the secular ethics of the Yinshan people were lower than theirs? Could they justify betraying their ancestors?

Good job!

"Really selling it?" Xiao Yun's blood boiled.

"It's more valuable than gold! My Yu family has many heirlooms, so we don't need one or two!" Thinking of China's splendid culture of five thousand years, Yu Jiuer spoke arrogantly.

She held up two fingers and said, "Buy out 20,000 taels of silver!"

He originally planned to ask for 10,000 taels, but he was so angry at these sons of noble families bullying others by taking advantage of their power, so he gritted his teeth and added another 10,000 taels!

Yutao and Chengan widened their eyes at the same time.

"Hiss!" Xiao Yun took a breath, looked at his teammates for a moment, and then nodded heavily, "Deal!"

You agreed right away? Without even bargaining?

Yu Jiuer suddenly realized that ten thousand taels were not worth mentioning at all in this materialistic capital city.

The old emperor bullied her because she was new. Didn't he understand the market? He rewarded her with 10,000 taels, which limited her imagination. That was too much!

These sons of noble families can easily acquire the wealth and glory that ordinary people desire for half their lives.

Alas! I didn't call you enough! They are more generous than the emperor!

Someone added: "But your booklet had better work, otherwise we will come to the Northwest to settle the score with you!"

Yu Jiuer chuckled: "As long as you practice according to the book for a period of time, I can't guarantee that you are invincible, but it will be easy to defeat Wang Zhen!"

This booklet is a collection of the essence of football that she has learned in modern times, and it is not meant to fool people.

Xiao Yun and his teammates emptied their pockets and ordered people to go home to get the silver bills, handing over the money and the goods.

On the way back to the inn, Yu Tao was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly: "Master, we are so rich!"

Yu Jiuer shook her head: "What are you talking about? It's still a long way to go! Even if we get double the amount, it won't be enough to fill the huge hole in Yinshan County! We need to get more!"

"Young Master, you have a broad mind. I admire you!" Cheng An, who was moving forward with his hands and feet, found that he seemed to have lost his ability to walk. He earned more than 30,000 taels in just a few days, which was something he could never earn even if he was beaten to death.

He secretly decided in his heart that from now on he would be Ninth Girl's lackey and would follow her orders.

Yu Jiuer accepted his compliment, but was still thinking hard about how to make more money before returning home.

When he returned to the inn, he saw the eunuch Ma beside the queen getting off the carriage with a whisk in his hand: "Tanhua Lang, it's a coincidence that I have met you!"

Yu Jiuer bowed and saluted: "What's the matter, eunuch?"

"Pass on the Queen's oral order. A peach blossom banquet will be held at Peach Blossom Villa tomorrow. The nobles and ladies of all the noble families will attend. Please invite Tanhua to join us!"

"I will follow the Queen's order!" Yu Jiuer had never heard of the Peach Blossom Banquet. She only knew that the current Queen always liked to act as a matchmaker. Maybe she wanted to arrange a marriage for two girls this time?

Yu Jiuer secretly put a silver ingot into Ma Gonggong's hand and asked, "I wonder what will be on the program at the Peach Blossom Banquet?"

Eunuch Ma, who received the benefits, did not hold back and said there would be various poetry recitation and couplet writing competitions, archery betting competitions, talent shows with prizes, and so on.

Fearing that her identity would be exposed, Yu Jiuer tried to keep a low profile and avoided attending family gatherings. But when she heard that there was money to be made by betting, she instantly started to make money again, with gold grains in her eyes.
