Chapter 488 (2/2)

The guild rules set by Du Qiaoyun are divided into two modes.

One is to make friends freely by art. People can compete at will, such as painting a picture, playing a tune, or playing chess. Anyway, the bet is that the loser will pay for it.

The other is in the form of challenge arena competition. There are competitions for all the necessary skills of women, whether it's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or cooking, and even accounting.

It seems that accounting is not a necessary skill for women, but if a woman wants to be a housekeeper, how can she not do it?

However, this skill, Du Qiaoyun estimates that the chance of the aristocratic women to win is greater.

No matter what kind of competition, there are rewards for the top three.

The first prize winner was awarded 100 liang of silver, the second prize winner was awarded 80 liang of silver, and the third prize winner was awarded 50 liang of silver.

This little silver may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the gentry women. It is not as valuable as a piece of jewelry or a piece of clothing on them. They participate in the competition more for this honor.

But for poor women, it's very different, they are more for the reward.

It's said that it's not easy to live in the border area. The border area is bitter and cold. There is half a year's winter in a year, so they can only choose the roughage with the shortest growth period, such as rice or wheat, which tastes better and costs more. They can't grow it at all.

And they can only grow one season a year, unlike the crops in southern China, which can grow twice a year or even three times a year.

Therefore, the income of the people in Xiliang is far less than that of the people in other places, but the border areas are lack of material, and the cost is still high.

These poor women, not to mention the first one hundred Liang, even if they can get the last one fifty Liang, are enough for the family for several years.
