Chapter 60: Betting
"It's not interesting for us to just drink, why don't we gamble?" asked everyone on a whim.
"What does the prince want to bet on?" Yu Qinghan was the first to respond again.
"Is it okay to bet on whether the next person who enters the restaurant is a man or a woman?" Yan Jingnian proposed.
"If you want me to say it's definitely a man. Qiao Laosan looked at everyone, "Except for Miss Cui, we are all old men here." ”
Yan Jingnian pursed his lips, "That's not necessarily." ”
Qiao Laosan then said: "Then let's bet on this, I'll bet on men." ”
"Since you bet on men, then I will bet on women. After Yan Jingnian finished speaking, he took out ten taels of silver from his purse and put it on the wine table.
"Okay, I'll give you ten taels too. Qiao Laosan followed and put ten taels of silver on the table.
Yu Qinghan glanced at Yan Jingnian, and then at Qiao Laosan, a little embarrassed. finally gritted his teeth, "Then I'll choose a woman like Yan Shizi." And when he had finished speaking, he also put ten taels of silver on the wine table.
It is not surprising that he is used to following the banquet to choose a woman, and the remaining sons have their own judgment, they all choose men like Qiao Laosan, and at the same time put ten taels of silver as a bet.
Before it was the turn of the Cui family brothers and sisters, the brothers and sisters got together for a meeting first.
"Zhiwei, did you say that you chose a man or a woman?" Cui Zhiyi asked in a low voice.
"Third brother, what do you want to choose?" Cui Zhiwei did not answer Cui Zhiyi, but looked at Cui Zhili.
"It's not like you don't know, I've studied for so many years, and I've only learned a little bit of deduction. I will choose whatever you choose. In the end, the patriarch of the Baili family couldn't look down on it, so he taught him his medical skills.
"Then Zhiwei, do you choose a man or a woman?" Seeing some people looking over, Cui Zhiyi asked anxiously.
"To be on the safe side, two of us choose a man and one chooses a woman. ”
"Do you really want to choose like this?" Cui Zhiyi's eyes widened, "What's the point of being safe? Don't you want to gamble after playing it once?"
"Then choose the woman. Cui Zhiwei said with an indifferent posture, "If you win like this, you will earn more." "After all, there are few women.
"Really choose women?" Cui Zhiyi also felt that there were many men who came to eat in the restaurant, but there were very few women. Like Cui Zhiwei, he came here to eat because he was with them. So it tends to be a man.
Cui Zhiwei pursed his lips, "Don't you just want to choose a man, then ask me?"
"Didn't I want you to deduce it? Cui Zhiyi muttered quietly.
"I can't push this, and it doesn't make much sense. "Why did she spend that energy to open the eyes of the sky?
"Then if you say you choose a woman, you will choose a woman. In the end, Cui Zhiyi took out thirty taels of silver and put it on the table, and raised his voice to everyone: "Our brother and sister chose a daughter." ”
"This is chosen by your brothers and sisters, if you lose, don't rely on me?" Although Yan Jingnian said this to Cui Zhiyi, his eyes glanced at Cui Zhiwei.
"Yes, that's what I said. ”
Yan Jingnian stretched lazily, "Then let's wait and see." ”
Just when everyone was holding their breath and staring at the door downstairs, Cui Zhiwei noticed that Yan Jingnian was very relaxed and determined. Sure enough, the next person to enter the restaurant was a woman, and it was none other than the young lady of Prime Minister Zhou's mansion they met on the road.
said that it was the third miss of the Zhou family, called Zhou Fengxi, which Cui Zhiwei heard from Qiao San's mouth.
Speaking of this Wednesday, Miss Cui Zhiwei reminded him of one thing. She whispered to Cui Zhili: "It is said that Miss Wednesday and the two of us were born on the same day. ”
"Really?" Cui Zhili's eyes widened, "That's too coincidental." ”
"I also heard that the national teacher calculated it for her, saying that she was born with a phoenix. So over the years, the prince's brother has not married the concubine, just waiting for her to be married. "With such a fate, it is impossible for other princes to blatantly say that they want to marry this person, right?
These news were found by Su Mu when he went to Beijing to send a letter to the Hou Mansion a few days ago. She also bought a booklet in Mochizuki Tower, which recorded some secrets about the capital over the years, and Cui Zhiwei read it all the way. It is really not difficult to see that Yan Jingnian and Jiang Xuanche are worthy of being responsible for traffic, and seven or eight of the ten messages are about these two people.
"That's not right," Cui Zhili wondered after hearing this, "Since she and the two of us were born on the same day, why weren't you born with a phoenix?"
"She's not the same as when we were born. Besides, aren't you still some kind of fate?"
"I," Cui Zhili lowered his head and smiled lightly, "I guess my master has been wondering if he was wrong all these years. ”
"In fact, whether it is the fate of the star or the phoenix, it is not necessarily true, so just listen to it. Cui Zhiwei said this, but subconsciously closed his eyes and silently opened his eyes.
Not to mention, the Wednesday lady who walked in at the head was really surrounded by a little golden shimmer, which was indeed a life of either wealth or nobility. However, under this golden aura, there is a little evil aura, indicating that there has been a death at the hands of this person.
Tsk, he is so ruthless at a young age, and he is really a person who does big things!
"How's it going, sir, I won. The result has been decided, and Yan Jingnian said to everyone in a loud voice.
"Haha, I won too. Yu Qinghan laughed, "It's good luck to follow Yan Shizi." ”
"I knew that I also chose with Yan Shizi. Qiao Laosan said regretfully, "This guy won nine out of ten bets, I thought we could win him this time." ”
Another son followed: "We think the same way! I still want to win the banquet and go back to show off with others." ”
"Our brother and sister listened to the younger sister, but I didn't expect such good luck. "The first time I gambled with outsiders, I won money, and Cui Zhiyi was also very happy.
Only Cui Zhili asked Cui Zhiwei in a low voice: "How do you know that the gambling girl is allowed to win?" He didn't think that Cui Zhiwei chose the woman casually.
"Didn't you notice that Xiaoyin was gone?" Cui Zhi smiled.
"Didn't it go out to forage?" Cui Zhili looked around, but he really didn't see Xiaoyin.
"Can you eat more here? Why go out and forage for food?"
"That's right. What does that have to do with the gamble?"
"Of course it does. Cui Zhiwei then explained with a smile, "Do you think, if the men want to come in, there is a vicious wolf guarding the door, do they dare to enter?"
"Of course not. But women don't dare?"
"If Xiaoyin sees a woman coming in and deliberately avoids it, will the woman come in?"
"I see. Cui Zhili suddenly realized, "So no matter whether the brother of the Yan family chooses a man or a woman, he will win this game." ”
"That's it. This shows that Yan Jingnian is still a little clever.
The rest of the crowd didn't react to this, and their attention was all downstairs.
After Zhou Fengxi and the others stood still, Qiao Laosan asked suspiciously: "Miss Wednesday is here, why didn't Miss Yao come over?"
