Chapter 236: Gambling on Red Eyes is a desperate bet
Speaking of her son Jia Zhu, Mrs. Wang's eyes were also red, speaking of which, Jia Zhu is much more sensible than Jia Baoyu, since he was a child, he was selected to enter the palace as a prince attendant, and at the age of fifteen, he was admitted to the Jinshi, but unfortunately he was ill-fated and became a victim of the Mulan Enclosure Incident.

"Don't worry, I'm Lan'er's grandmother, how could I push him into the fire pit? As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, now, the emperor arranges Baoyu to do things next to King Beijing, this is something that cannot be changed, with the friendship between my family and the King of Beijing, if King Beijing becomes the emperor, he will naturally not treat the people of the Jia family badly, as long as Brother Lan is cautious, even if the King of Nan'an is defeated, it will not hurt his life, but if the King of Nan'an ascends to the Ninety-Five, Baoyu will inevitably be implicated by the King of Beijing, do I still have to put the future and life of my grandson on the line, and the Jia family must have a root, right?"
Because Wang Ziteng is seriously ill, a few days ago, Mrs. Wang deliberately went back to her mother's house to visit the patient, and listened to her brother analyze the current situation, he believes that the emperor is not much older than the king of Beijing, and his body looks much stronger than the king of Beijing, His Majesty established the king of Beijing as the crown prince, obviously to transfer the pressure of the pretenders to the throne, so that several princes go all out to deal with the king of Beijing, and he is the ninth and fifth of the world to firmly control the situation, so as not to escalate the fight and hurt the lives of his children and grandchildren.
"The palace battle, the prince and the loser, my sister should teach Baoyu and Lan Ge'er, don't be confused by the fact that the king of Beijing was set up as the crown prince, don't get on the thief ship and vote for the wrong master, if the emperor really has the heart to be located in the king of Beijing, he will not be removed from the title of the king of Hengjun, and he will be driven out of the capital and reduced to a peasant to go to Mobei to guard the border, you think about it, when Princess Dieyi is expected to become the crown prince, the emperor intends to let the king of Hengjun enter Goryeo as a concubine, and now, Princess Dieyi has no hope of competing for the crown prince, and she can marry outside, but His Majesty let the king of Yingjun marry him, if I am not mistaken, the king of Yingjun is His Majesty's favorite candidate for the crown prince。 ”
In fact, Wang Ziteng's words are somewhat of a fool's dream, but Mrs. Wang listens to them as a reason, of course, she has another meaning to prevent Jia Lan and Qing'er's marriage, that is, she is worried that Qing'er and King Hengjun will be entangled.
With Jia Baoyu's marriage and moving out of Daguan Garden, only Daoxiang Village was left and the master lived, and the other courtyards were empty, leaving those who stayed to watch the garden and cleaned them every day.
The council hall was also temporarily moved to Ashiyu-an, which is cooler because of the midsummer weather and the fact that there are many trees near the water.
On this day, Li Kun, Lin Daiyu, and Ping'er arranged housework in Luxue Nunnery as usual, and Zhou Rui's family came to report that the prince had vacated, and Mrs. Wang had rushed back, so that Li Kun and Daiyu could prepare a memorial ceremony and send someone to mourn.
Li Kun thought that the Wang family had fallen, and eighty percent of the slaves had been dismissed, so he discussed with Daiyu when he needed manpower, and asked Jia Lian and Ping'er to bring the capable minions in the family to help, Baoyu and Jia Lan were both among the officials, so it was naturally not good to go to the sinful minister's house as a cover, so they had to go to worship politely, and it was not appropriate to stay there for a long time.
Daiyu hated Wang Ziteng very much, but, for the sake of Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, she sealed two hundred taels of funerals, and the Wang family is not as good as before, and the funeral naturally does not dare to be publicized and extravagant, with these two hundred taels of silver, it is enough for the cost of the funeral.
Jia Lian and Ping'er immediately took people to the Wang family, that is, a small courtyard of the Wang family, and his family's property had already been sold by the imperial court to compensate for the loss of the salt class.
Wang Ren was exiled to Hainan with his father, because the prince Teng was critically ill, the emperor granted him amnesty and allowed him to return to Beijing to recuperate, and the king of Nan'an interceded and allowed Wang Ren to take leave to send his father back to Beijing, so he also returned to the capital for some time, he took advantage of his father's critical illness, no one could control him, stole and sold the jewelry quietly hidden at home, and soaked in the casino all day to push pai gow, hoping to raise some silver as soon as possible by gambling, and do business as a scholar, do big business, and revive the Wang family business.
He is not a very confused person, he knows the weight of the silver on his body, and does not dare to bet at will, just bet on the money he can afford to lose, and stop immediately after a small win, the gamblers look down on him, saying that he can't afford to gamble, don't be ashamed, he doesn't care, and secretly scolds others in his heart for being wronged, as long as he wins the silver in your pocket, he doesn't want to win your flattery.
Because he was very cautious in playing, he gambled for more than ten days, but also won nearly 100 taels of silver, and the gambling was smooth, and his courage slowly grew up, and he began to increase the stakes.
At that moment, he told a new friend that he was going to Xinyuan to pawn, and Ming'er invited him to drink flower wine when he was free.
As soon as he said goodbye to his friend and walked outside the gambling house, he was hit by a boy in a fancy costume obliquely, and he got up and was about to scold, but he was grabbed by the son's attendant, and accused him of knocking down his young master, and he was caught off guard by raising his fist, and half of his eyes were bruised.
The acquaintance next to him persuaded that this was the "patrol of the sea" on the street, and the guest officials who won the gambling money "hit the luck", and I am afraid it will be difficult to get out if they don't send a few taels of silver.
Another little guy next to the boy immediately said angrily: "Presumptuous! This is the young master of my family, the young owner of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, my family's business is several times larger than the Mobei Commercial Bank, and the commercial house in Kyoto alone is also larger than your gambling house.
Wang Ren held back his anger and said carefully: "What about you?"
"How about I'll discount your leg and let you crawl home......"
The prince in the Chinese costume obviously drank too much, staggered forward and pulled the little guy away, and said to Wang Ren: "Isn't this the son of Lord Wang who is inspected by the capital of the nine provinces? I have seen Ling Zun, who took care of my family's tribute and filial piety and property back then, I said, do you officials and children also gamble money? Just the few taels of silver that you have every year, enough for you to gamble for a few days? Well, since you like to gamble, this young master will accompany you to gamble a few times, and every time you lose a game, you will drill a back and forth from my crotch, and if you win the young master, I will give you a hundred taels of silver!"
Wang Ren sneered in his heart, Han Xin has also been humiliated by his crotch, a manly man can bend and stretch, Lao Tzu wants to see how much money you have.
immediately didn't go to redeem the pawn, returned to the table, and the fancy costume boy went head-to-head, the game was determined by Wang Rending, he thought about playing a simple game, rolling the dice to bet on winning or losing.
Where did the idlers want to miss this beautiful show, and immediately surrounded their table.
Wang Ren lost first, drilled back and forth under the crotch of the son, in the coaxing of everyone, the little white face turned red, the more it seemed that the left eye socket was bruised and embarrassed, but the luck suddenly smoothed up, and he won a few handfuls, the more he won, the more excited he was, but the more he won the more excited, but the prince in Huafu felt that it was not exciting enough, so he said to Wang Ren: "I think back then, when your father raised funds for disaster relief, he slapped my old man because of the disagreement over the distribution of shares, and scolded him that the old man was a turtle bastard, so that his old man was angry about his death. Master now and you will bet the last one, if you win, take the contract of the Xinyuan pawnshop on East Street, the pawnshop will belong to you from now on, if you lose, you will beat yourself ten big-eared scrapers, scold yourself ten black, turtle king bastard!"
Xinyuan pawnshop is the place where Wang Ren pawns jewelry, his heart moves, if he can win the pawnshop, his family's life will be settled.
This loser, the family burns a lot of money. Wang Ren sneered in his heart, and if it wasn't for scolding a few turtle bastards, my Lao Tzu would really become a turtle bastard.
"This ...... There is no basis for what he says!" Wang Ren is too lazy to go around the bend, horizontal and vertical is just the risk of hitting ten ear melon seeds with a fly swatter, and he is beating himself, what else can he do?
The shopkeeper of the casino immediately came out to testify, and asked the two to pay ten taels of silver to witness the fee, and the shopkeeper personally drafted the paperwork, and the two drew the charge, at this time, the little servant of the child's family reminded the child: "Childe, this is not fair, what if he loses and refuses to hit his ear? ”
Wang Ren thought that the cooked duck was about to fly, but he didn't expect that the little guy was worried about this, so he negotiated with the boy that if he breached the contract, he was willing to pay three thousand taels of silver for liquidated damages.
Both sides reached an agreement, and the Chinese witness asked Wang Ren to personally write the breach of contract clause, so the signature of the Chinese witness was added later.
The boy was drunk and wanted to show his generosity and let Wang Ren roll first, because there is a rule for rolling dice, if the number of points rolled is the same, even if the lead of the first throw wins, this is equivalent to giving him a chance of winning.
Wang Ren is also a master of throwing dice, when he was throwing, a person on the side who learned to gamble on their ears and scrapers had already seen the victory, Wang Ren glanced at it casually, my mother, the fly swatter went down, and blood suddenly appeared on his face......
Wang Ren was so shocked that his heart jumped out, his hand trembled slightly, and he threw two sixes, one five, and one red four, the points were big enough, which was equivalent to an eighty percent chance of winning.
The drunken boy burped a few times first, picked up the cup and shook it, and buckled it on the table dizzily, and the witness opened it to see that two six, two five, no more, no less, just one point older than Wang Ren won.
Wang Ren was immediately stunned for a moment, and immediately slapped himself with an ear scraper, scolding: "Beat you turtle bastard......"
"Wang Gongzi come slowly, you have to hit it with a fly swatter, don't beat yourself in vain, you will suffer a big loss!"
As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, the man in the casino brought a special fly swatter, and the small fine squares were covered with barbs like fish hooks...... (To be continued.) )
