Chapter 12 Conditions
"Zhao Liang, I'll give you five taels of silver for you to flip through, but you have to promise me a few conditions." Jiang Quinoa said.
When they heard this, the people in the courtyard looked up at her in surprise.
Zhao Liang's eyes flashed, he knelt on the ground and took two steps forward, and kowtowed to Jiang Quinoa gratefully: "Miss, you are really a heavenly girl, a bodhisattva." ”
Here, Jiang Chun and Jiang Tiezhu were all puzzled, and even Jiang Chun looked at Jiang Quinoa with some resentment.
Xingni was already heartbroken by Zhao Liang's words just now, but he felt that he had no weight in Zhao Liang's heart, he was unwilling to change his evil and return to the right, and live a down-to-earth life with himself, and now he heard that Jiang Quinoa wanted to give Zhao Liang silver to gamble money, and he felt even more disheartened, and the whole person sat on the ground.
"I asked you to promise me a few conditions, can you agree?" Jiang Quinoa didn't care what others thought, just stared at Zhao Liang and asked.
Zhao Liang nodded again and again: "Bodhisattva, living Bodhisattva, don't say a few conditions, even hundreds of thousands, I promise you." When he grew so big, he only took one or two taels of silver to gamble when he was so big, when he could take out five taels of silver at a time, thinking that as soon as he got this money to the casino, it would definitely make those who usually looked down on him surprised, Zhao Liang laughed.
"Okay, listen up. I didn't give you these five taels of silver for nothing, I just feel sorry for Xingni and want you to reduce your burden and pay off the debt as soon as possible. Jiang Qu said: "I have three conditions, first, the capital of five taels of silver will be given to you, and for every one or two silver you win, you can take a hundred copper plates from the middle, which will be counted as your reward." If you lose, it's mine. How's that, is it acceptable? ”
If you win, you will be paid, and if you lose, you will be paid, how could Zhao Liang not accept such a good thing, and nodded in agreement.
"Second, I gave you ten taels of silver to save you, which was borrowed first for the sake of Xingni's face, and now you have to sign an IOU for me when you come back. I won't give you the interest on the ten taels of silver, but you must pay me back the money within three years. What do you think? Jiang Quinoa looked at Zhao Liang and waited for him to reply.
The money was borrowed by Xingni, and Zhao Liang didn't plan to put the debt on Xingni by himself. Although Jiang Qu's three-year period was a bit tight, he thought that after taking the five taels of silver gambling money, as long as he was a little better, he might not be able to earn it back, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Third, five taels of silver are given to you to gamble, I don't care which gambling house you go to, what you gamble on, but when you go, you have to listen to me when you go, whether you go in the first half of the morning or the second half of the night. In addition, I will ask Brother Tiezhu to follow you, he said come back, you have to stop and come back in time no matter how good your luck is at that time, can you do it? Jiang asked Quinoa.
Zhao Liang was puzzled: "Since your luck is very good, why do you want to stop?" We have to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Besides, what is Jiang Tiezhu going to do, he doesn't know how to gamble, and he will get in the way when he goes, what if he loses the silver. ”
"If you lose, it's mine, what do you feel sorry for. You only say that my conditions will be fulfilled if you agree or not. Jiang Qu said.
Although Zhao Liang had a lot of opinions on the third article, he couldn't bear to refuse thinking about the gambling money of five taels of silver. He is poor and white now, but he is pointing to this money and turning over.
Jiang Quinoa had expected that he would agree, so he said: "Let's salute first and then soldiers, and talk about the benefits first, then we have to talk about what if we don't keep our integrity." If Zhao Liang is disobedient, does not report the truth when you win, secretly ignores you, or does not gamble according to the time I say, or Brother Tiezhu asks you to stop and you don't listen, these are all violations of your rules and you will be punished. ”
"What punishment?" Zhao Liang asked in surprise, he often mixed up in the city, and heard that big families always have some methods that they can't say to punish their subordinates, and all kinds of methods are very vicious. This Jiang family made a fortune from scholars, so there shouldn't be so many dirty methods.
Jiang Qu said: "The punishment is very simple, I will buy you as a subordinate for ten taels of silver." I will ask you to sign a deed of sale first, and when you do what I say, the deed of sale will not be counted, and the money that should be given to you will be a lot. But if you break the contract halfway, I will let Qingbo take the deed of sale to the yamen to do the record, and then you will enter the slave status, if you dare to run, you will escape the slave, and the government will also arrest you back. You have to think clearly, are these conditions acceptable? ”
"Slave?" Xingni suddenly became excited when she heard this word, "Brother Liangzi, you can't agree, how can you become a slave?" Originally, her mother didn't agree to their family affairs, if Zhao Liang really became a slave, then they really had no future.
"What? Do you also have no confidence in yourself, do you feel that you can't do what I said, or do you want to continue to be as muddy as you are now, let Xingni shed tears for you, and finally become disheartened, cut off with you, and never have contact again? Jiang Quinoa herself understands that she can't wait for a response from looking through Qiushui, and the last kind of discouragement, so she wants to help a group of Xingni.
Zhao Liang originally wanted to retreat, but Jiang Quino's words really touched his heart, he gently held Xingni's hand and made up his mind: "Xingni, you believe me, I will not let you down this time." ”
Never got a clear reply and response from Zhao Liang, Xingni thought that she was the only one to pay, she was very tired for a while, and she didn't understand and thought about giving up, but when she thought of the figure who jumped into the water and dragged her to the shore, and carried her all the way through the ridge, she couldn't let go of it in her heart. Now Zhao Liang, is this a promise to her?
After the decision was made here, Jiang Quinoa asked Zhao Liang to go back to recuperate. The thugs in the gambling house are not talking about playing, and the start is still quite dark, but fortunately, Xingni's side raises money relatively quickly, if it takes another two days, Zhao Liang estimates that it will be scrapped.
When he went to bed at night, Jiang Chun couldn't fall asleep over and over.
"If you have anything to say, just ask, it's not good to endure like this. If you don't have the energy to go to class tomorrow, Mr. will punish you again. Jiang Quinoa yawned, just thinking about quickly resolving Jiang Chun's doubts so that she could sleep peacefully.
As soon as Jiang Chun heard it, he knew that it was Jiang Quinoa who was arguing with him and couldn't sleep, so he was a little apologetic in his heart, but curiosity still prevailed, so he asked, "Why did you give Zhao Liang silver to let him gamble." What you don't know, he has very bad luck and loses nine out of ten bets. ”
"It's not why, I just think I have to let him gamble well, otherwise he will be ruined in the future." Jiang Qu thought about some of the news he had heard in his previous life, and felt a little regretful in his heart.
Jiang Chun pouted, "He's already ruined." Since childhood, I didn't learn well, and I learned to gamble with others. At first, he chopped wood to buy gambling money, and then stole the family's money, his grandfather died, and even the house was sold to pay off the debt, and now he is poor and white, and he has come to harm Xingni again. He's just a broom star, and no one has a good life if they get it. You see, even his own uncle has disowned him. I think it's better for you not to make that agreement with him, how reassuring it is to keep the silver in your hand, and you can't get it back if you give it to him to gamble. ”
There were some things that Jiang Quinoa didn't know how to tell Jiang Chun, so he just said, "I'll get it back, you believe me." By the way, what is the matter with Xingni owing Zhao Liang a life? ”
