Chapter 116: Gambling
The results of the competition between the two marshals who had just returned to Beijing from the border pass still ended in a draw, and the two of them did not miss the arrow, although they had a succession, but finally reached the end at the same time.
The next two competitions, the appearance of the Jianguo Gong, General Han Da's lieutenant and vanguard, the rules of the competition are the same as the second one, the scene is still very enthusiastic, the competition is also very exciting, but there are a few less*, and finally the two sides win one each.
As a result, the two sides have won four games, won one, drew two and lost one, and it is still a draw.
The final match was the difference between victory and defeat.
The characters are Yang Lingxiao, the son of the founding of the country, and Han Pengcheng, the general of Han Xiao.
These two people are the leaders of the younger generation of the Jianguo Mansion and the Great General's Mansion respectively, and now they happen to be appointed by the Holy Father as the chief and deputy commanders of the Yulin Guard.
These two people are not only superb in martial arts, brave and resourceful, but also extremely handsome.
This can be said to be their second public appearance in Kyoto, the first time was naturally when Jianguo Gong and General Han joined hands to lead the soldiers of the north and south border gates to return to Beijing together, and the appearance of the day made the two young generals the first choice of many ladies and gentlemen.
Therefore, as soon as they appeared today, they attracted bursts of cheers from the ladies present.
At this moment, the ladies have long abandoned their reserve, cheering for their respective idols, and even some of the ladies have a small dispute because of the different people they support, and finally simply started a gamble.
"Yang Shizi will definitely win! Yang Shizi will win! ”
"General Han Xiao will win, General Han Xiao come on!"
"If we don't start a game, I'll press ten taels and bet on Yang Shizi to win."
"Okay, bet on it. I'll bet ten taels on General Han to win! ”
"I'll press twenty taels, and Yang Shizi won."
"Twenty taels, General Han Xiao wins.
“……”
More and more ladies joined the gambling game, and the sudden madness of the originally reserved nobles opened Situ Jiao's eyes.
What was even more unexpected than Situ Jiao was Situ Jin.
I saw Situ Jin take out a silver ticket from his arms and slapped it: "I'll bet on Yang Shizi to win with one hundred taels!" ”
Situ Jiao, Han: "......"
Situ Jin's arrogance not only made Han's mother and daughter look sideways, but also made the old lady frown. It also surprised the noblewomen and ladies in the neighborhood.
When did the Marquis of Anning become so wealthy? It's okay for a little maid to eat and drink with others. A small gamble, a shot is actually a hundred taels!
Although the Han family doesn't care about the family, she still knows what the monthly routine of Situ Jin, as a concubine, is. One hundred taels of Situ Jin did not eat, drink, or use, and had to be saved for more than a year.
Even if the old lady will stick to her on weekdays, with Situ Jin's delicious and playful temperament, where is the person who can save money?
What does this mean? Not to mention the Han family, even Situ Jiao, who had just returned home, had a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Feel the gaze from all directions. The old lady's face turned green, but it was difficult for the old lady to get to the bottom of it outside, but the inquiring eyes fell on Situ Jin's body for a long time and did not move away.
It's just that Situ Jin was completely immersed in the excitement of seeing Yang Lingxiao again, and he didn't care at all about the shock that his move brought to the old lady. didn't even notice the old lady's inquiring gaze, but it made the grandmother and maid ring behind her break out in a cold sweat.
When Situ Jin put his hand in his arms just now, they had already sensed that Situ Jin might bet. It's just that they definitely didn't expect Situ Jin to be so bold, and they didn't expect her to carry a silver ticket of one hundred taels with her.
This time, in front of the old lady, especially in front of the Han family, he took out a hundred taels and bet. At that time, Situ Jin will naturally be punished, but they are afraid that these close servants will not end well.
It's just that it is useless to regret and be annoyed now, I just hope that the old lady will be able to cover up for the young lady by then.
On the high platform, Gonggong Zhang was still reading out the rules of the competition between the two generals, and although Situ Jin's arrogance on the women's table caused a small sensation, the pressure continued.
Later, even Han Xiuya pressed ten taels under the nod of her mother-in-law Chen, and she naturally pressed her brother Han Pengcheng to win.
After Han Xiuya pressed it, she came to Situ Jiao's side and pushed Situ Jiao to press some too.
Situ Jiao didn't have no silver on her, but she was in a dilemma, who let the old lady not give her the monthly silver so far?
"Why don't you press Jiaojiao?" Han Xiuya is Han's niece, and when Han saw that she could persuade Situ Jiao to press, she couldn't help but look at Situ Jiao.
"But, but I, I don't have any money." Situ Jiao's face was embarrassed, and her voice was so low that no one could hear it.
"Red sleeves, give Miss ten taels of silver, and let her participate in it." Han smiled and turned back to Mama Lin.
Now the big guy looked at the old lady's eyes with more content, which made the old lady extremely regretful that she didn't pretend to be sick today, how could she forget that Situ Jiao, a ghost boy, was a troublemaker?
Although she has never given Situ Jiao a monthly amount of silver, the old lady doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with herself, who let Situ Jiao return to the house, and the house has already opened a monthly case of silver?
So the old lady looked at Situ Jiao with a gaze like a sharp knife, she felt that Situ Jiao was deliberately disgraced and deliberately opposed to her just now.
Situ Jiao didn't feel the old lady's gaze, took the ten taels of small silver ingots handed over by Mama Lin, and looked at the two piles of silver in front of the eldest princess's table hesitantly.
Although the arrogant Situ Jin added a full hundred taels to Yang Lingxiao, because Yang Lingxiao's temperament was cold, he did not have Han Pengcheng to make people feel amiable, so the gambling on the two of them at this time was comparable.
Han looked at Situ Jiao with a smile and did not urge, although one was her own nephew, but Yang Lingxiao's status in Han's heart was the same as Han Pengcheng's.
However, Han Xiuya saw Situ Jiao's hesitation, and was a little surprised: "Cousin thinks my brother can't win against Yang Shizi?" Let me tell you, my brother's cavalry archery is the first person in the southern border pass! Come on, my brother won't lose! ”
Han Xiuya's words sounded rough as if she was telling Situ Jiao that Han Pengcheng would win, but in fact, she still sold it.
You can't lose, and you probably won't win, right?
Situ Jiao's slightly drooping eyes flashed with a gleam, and she didn't answer Han Xiuya's words, but just raised her eyes to look at Han Xiuya, and then looked at her Chen family, Fang family and Han family with a smile, and then turned her gaze to Yang Lingxiao and Han Pengcheng, who were riding horses and standing side by side in front of the high platform of the racecourse, and they still seemed to be unable to pay attention.
Seeing that Zhang De has already announced the rules, he has already turned back to ask the saint to issue an order, and it will be too late if he doesn't press the bet.
Situ Jiao then looked at the eldest princess elected by everyone to preside over the gambling game and asked timidly: "May I ask Your Highness, me, can I tie the game?" ”
Everyone fell, only the eldest princess smiled slightly, her eyes swept over the women's seat, and nodded at Situ Jiao.
Situ Jiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to have solved a big problem in his heart, and invested his own gambling money before the Holy Lord gave the order, and Situ Jiao was the only one in the field to draw the game. (To be continued.) )
