Chapter 27: The Wager
He Linwan asked people to bring paper and pencils, wrote down the bets, and wrote down the bets he owed Li Heng and knelt down to learn to bark three times. Then sign and draw it and hand it over to the other party for inspection.
Li Heng looked at it and felt very satisfied, so he was a little geared up, thinking that He Lin would kneel in front of him and learn how to bark a dog, he felt relieved in his heart. Even if He Linwan refused to call in the end, he could humiliate He Linwan with this piece of paper in his hand.
He Lin saw that Li Heng handed the piece of paper to Yuan Yan, so he said: "There are twenty-seven cards on the table, I secretly wrote down one, and wrote down this card and handed it to Brother Yuan, you can adjust the position of the twenty-seven cards on the table three times at will, and after each adjustment of the position, I will tell you that the card I chose is not in which row." Then you guess which card I picked based on my three answers. â
Li Heng touched his chin and said, "In this way, it seems to be a little difficult." â
He Linwan smiled disapprehantly: "It's boring if there's no difficulty, isn't it?"
Li Heng felt that it made sense, so he rearranged the twenty-seven cards on the table again, in order to distinguish them later, he placed each row in a classified manner, which shows that the little county king still has a bit of brains.
He Linwan glanced at it, took out a pen and paper and wrote down the card he remembered and handed it to Yuan Gradual, Yuan Gradually looked at it and secretly wrote it down, and then carefully folded the paper and received it into his sleeve, and patted his sleeve with a smile, with an attitude that he would live up to his trust and keep it well.
"The card I chose is not in the third row. â
Everyone looked at Yuan Gradual, and Yuan Gradually nodded: "That's right." â
Li Heng frowned and looked at it, secretly wrote down the words in the upper two rows, and then changed the order of the cards.
When he finished changing, He Lin said later: "Now this card is not in the second row." â
Li Heng scratched his head, thought carefully for a long time, and didn't come up with a reason, so he frowned and changed his position again.
He Linwan glanced at it and said with a slight smile, "It's not in the third row this time, please guess the county king." â
Li Heng leaned on the table with his chin and thought about the cards for a long time, and several onlookers also guessed in a whisper, only Yuan Yan, who knew the answer, was very proud.
Mu Zhizhen drank tea and watched quietly.
Li Heng looked at others with his eyes, but unfortunately Yuan gradually squeezed his eyebrows and crossed his mouth, and then resolutely turned his head and said that he wanted to be an honest notary. The others were either meditating hard or replying to him a helpless look.
Li Heng secretly went to see his cousin Mu Zhizhen, and Mu Zhizhen replied to him with a warm smile.
He Linwan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the king of the county guesses slowly, even if he guesses wrong, it doesn't matter." â
Li Heng thought about it and felt right, he guessed correctly He Linwan was unlucky, and if he guessed wrong, he had no loss, so Li Heng decided to guess by luck, maybe he won?
Thinking like this, Li Heng picked up the middle sheet of five hundred sons and said arrogantly: "The master will guess this one!"
Everyone looked at Yuan gradually in unison.
Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous. Li Heng was overjoyed when he saw this, and asked excitedly, "What's the matter?"
In the eyes of everyone, Yuan gradually took out the paper that He Linwan had written before and opened it on the table, and when he saw that everyone had looked over, Yuan gradually changed his expression of regret and said to Li Heng: "I didn't guess right." â
Li Heng angrily kicked Yuan Gradually, and Yuan Gradually dodged sideways with a hippie smile.
Li Heng looked at He Linwan in frustration: "This is too difficult." I don't believe you can guess!"
He Linwan smiled slightly, rearranged the cards on the table out of order, and then said to Li Heng: "If I win this game, return the pendant to me." â
Li Heng glanced at He Linwan: "Nothing else?"
He Linwan shook his head and made a gesture of invitation to Li Heng. Li Heng also wrote down the bet, and then picked a card and wrote it down, and handed it to Yuan gradually as usual.
Mu Zhizhen looked at the order of the leaf cards on the table, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was thoughtful.
"Master's card is not in the last row. Li Heng crossed Erlang's leg and said.
He Linwan nodded, and without pause, he switched positions again.
Mu Zhizhen's fingers paused slightly and frowned.
"Still not in the last row. Li Heng waved his hand.
He Linwan switched the order of the cards for the third time, and Mu Zhizhen couldn't help but sit up straight, and glanced at He Linwan with some surprise.
Li Heng glanced at the table, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible for He Linwan to guess his card, so he said indifferently: "Not in the second row." â
He Linwan's fingers crossed the cards on the table again, everyone's eyes followed her hand to move, Li Heng saw He Linwan's fingers crossed the card he selected without stopping, and couldn't help but feel proud.
But at this time, He Linwan's fingers retreated, and suddenly the card that Li Heng picked out accurately and put it aside.
"This one. â
"What!" Li Heng jumped up subconsciously, "How is it possible! How could you guess!"
Yuan gradually immediately took out the piece of paper and unfolded it on the table, and sure enough, it was written the card that He Linwan had selected, 30,000 yuan.
Everyone present looked at He Linwan in surprise.
Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pointed at He Linwan and said angrily: "You, you are out of a thousand!"
Yuan gradually smiled without giving face: "King Jun, if it's not a brother, I'm not on your side, how can I make a thousand?" Do you think it's a leaf card or a dice shake?"
Li Heng felt that there was some truth, only he and Yuan Jian knew which card he chose, although Yuan Jian was **playing**, he was not a person who would make small moves behind his back, Li Heng was a little short of words, and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Mu Zhizhen for help.
Mu Zhizhen shook his head, "Miss He is not out of a thousand. â
Li Heng was instantly deflated, he believed that with his cousin's eyesight, if He Lin was a thousand years late, he would definitely be able to see it.
Li Heng looked at He Linwan angrily: "Hmph, this time it's just your luck that you're right!"
He Linwan smiled and stretched out his hand to Yuan.
Yuan was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand, took out the pendant and handed it to He Linwan without asking Li Heng first, and then said to Li Heng with a smile: "King Jun, I will return the bet I said in advance, and this time if you still trick me as the master, you will have to ask people to invite you out." â
Li Heng pursed his lips, didn't say anything, took the written bet that Yuan gradually handed him and tore it to pieces: "Okay, okay, it's really rare to be a master." â
He Linwan breathed a sigh of relief the moment she took back the pendant, and put it in her purse, and then she looked up at Li Heng: "King Jun, do you still want to come?"
Li Heng slapped the table angrily: "Of course come! Do you want to leave if you win? It's my turn to guess this time! I don't believe that you can be right every time, I can't guess right once! This time the bet is the same as the last time, you lose and kneel down to learn to bark." â
He Linwan nodded and did not object.
This time, Li Heng was much more careful, and every time he changed positions, he would think about it for a long time. But after three times, his mind was dizzy, and he was still confused.
The final result, of course, was not guessed.
He Linwan glanced at Li Heng with a smile and put away the cards on the table: "It's my turn." â
Li Heng sneered: "What do you want to bet on?"
He Lin thought for a while: "I really can't think of it, but the county king is so good at playing, I'll go back with the county king, my bet is the same as your last game." â
Li Heng looked at He Linwan dangerously when he heard this: "Do you want the master to kneel down and learn to bark?"
He Linwan blinked: "Isn't it willing to gamble and lose?
Li Heng clasped his hands around his chest and sneered: "Bet on it! The master can't afford to lose?"
Mu Zhizhen suddenly spoke: "Ah Heng, let's stop here today." Miss He, since you have won back the pendant, why don't you just leave it at that?"
He Linwan looked at Mu Zhizhen, curled his lips slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "Why didn't Mu Gongzi say this earlier? Could it be that in Mu Gongzi's heart, people are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, some people are naturally superior, and they can practice others as they want, but when it is their turn, they can't even lose?"
He Linwan said this very politely, and Mu Zhizhen couldn't help frowning.
Do you want him to sue He Linwan, the reason why he didn't stand up and uphold justice before was because he knew Li Heng's temperament and didn't want her to be bullied even worse in the future?
The others couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that He Linwan's hostility towards Mu Gongzi was a little unfounded, although Mu Zhi was really Li Heng's cousin, but today he was openly and secretly biased towards He Linwan.
Over there, Li Heng had already placed the bet and threw it to He Linwan, and said to Mu Zhizhen absently: "Cousin, don't worry about it, I don't believe this girl can guess it once." â
Mu Zhizhen glanced at Li Heng and sighed.
He Linwan looked at the piece of paper, but slowly pushed it back, and said in an understated tone: "Trouble the county king to write an IOU below, if the county king loses in the end but refuses to open his mouth, he will give me the 'plum garden' in the eastern suburbs of the Jin king's mansion unconditionally." â
"What?" Li Heng was stunned, as if he couldn't understand He Linwan's words.
The others were also a little stunned.
He Linwan kindly said again: "If the king of the county refuses to learn how to bark at that time, he will give me the 'plum garden' under the name of the Jin Wangfu." â
Mu Zhizhen had a headache: "Miss He, isn't this bet a little inappropriate." As far as I know, the plum garden is not in Ah Heng's name, but the private property of Li Yu, the son of the king of Jin. â
Of course, He Linwan knew that not only did she know that the plum garden was now under Li Yu's name, but also knew that the previous owner of the plum garden was surnamed Yang, which was built by his grandfather with her to draw and design a piece of grass and trees, and her grandfather said that it was given to her as a dowry.
Since it was her grandfather's dowry, she naturally wanted to get it back!
