"Lan'er, do you think that stupid melon can pass the case this time?" After laughing for a while, Qin Yue looked up at Xiaolan and asked with interest.

"Case-head?" Xiao Lan, who was standing still, came back to her senses when she heard this, and looked at Qin Yue with some disbelief, "Miss, don't talk about Young Master Cousin, even there are people in Baihe Academy who can beat Third Young Master Li, Third Young Master Li may be able to break through three levels in a row and become a talent, but I am afraid that the head of this case will not have anything to do with him." ”

"I can't say for sure." Qin Yue didn't agree with Xiaolan's words, and after a deep sigh, she said, "If you want to be the head of the case, you must not only rely on your talent but also on luck, if there is green smoke on the ancestral grave of the Dugua family, maybe it is really possible to win the championship!" ”

"Miss, isn't the ancestral tomb of Third Young Master Li's family the ancestral tomb of Young Master Yi? It is said that even if there is green smoke on the ancestral grave, it is not the turn of Third Young Master Li. Xiaolan looked a little unconvinced, so she opened her mouth to argue.

"You take two hundred taels of silver, and bet one hundred taels each on my cousin and that stupid melon!" Qin Yue couldn't help but smile when she saw this, she knew that it would be difficult to change Xiaolan's opinion for a while, so she didn't pursue the matter, and she also wanted to join in the fun.

"One hundred taels?" Xiaolan felt that Qin Yue must be crazy, and it was worth investing one hundred taels on Li Hongyi, but if she voted for Li Hongyu, it would be a complete waste.

"The world is unpredictable, if that stupid melon wins, we will make a lot of profits." Qin Yue knew that Xiaolan was not optimistic about Li Hongyu, but she still wanted to gamble, Li Hongyu had surprised her twice, maybe a fool has a foolish fortune Li Hongyu Fuxing Gao Zhao won the championship in one fell swoop!

The so-called two accidents, one refers to Li Hongyu's justification of her name in court on the grounds of stomach trouble, and she knows that the Li family did not let her do that, and the other refers to Li Hongyu who saved her by using the method seen from the ancient books of the Western Regions, both times to her surprise.

Therefore, Qin Yue wanted to see if Li Hongyu could still surprise people in the county test this time.

To be honest, even Qin Yue didn't know why she had this thought, it stands to reason that Li Hongyu's chance of standing out is very small, it's not worth the risk at all, it's just a subconscious act of hers.

Xiaolan saw that Qin Yue's mind had been decided, so she had no choice but to obey the order, in her opinion, Qin Yue's mood had become good now, if she exchanged a hundred taels of silver for Qin Yue's good mood, this deal would be worth it.

In addition to Li Hongyu and Qin Yue, there are naturally Zhao Xin who wants to prove herself in the county test, because she is new to the county test, people don't know her strength, so there is no Zhao Xin in the first reserve of the casino this time.

"One to a hundred?" Zhao Xin was a little stunned when she learned Li Hongyu's odds, in her opinion, Li Hongyu shouldn't have appeared in this handicap at all, this odds are really embarrassing.

But then again, although Li Hongyu's odds are very high, it is already a great honor to be on the casino handicap, which means that he still has the possibility of becoming the head of the case, while those local students who are not on the handicap do not even have this possibility.

"Miss, they would never have thought that Miss would be bound to win this case, in this case, should we also join in the fun, if we are lucky, we can make a fortune." Seeing Zhao Xin's stunned expression, Lu Liu rolled his eyes slightly and gave a proposal with great interest.

In Luliu's view, now the candidates for the head of the Jiangkou County trial are three-legged, in addition to Li Hongyi and Wang Kuiju, who are favored by the outside world, the third person is naturally Zhao Xin.

Although Zhao Xin's name does not appear on the handicap of the casino, as long as Luliu takes the silver to the casino to bet on Zhao Xin to win, then the casino will definitely add Zhao Xin's name to the handicap, and they will not have a grudge against money when they open a casino, and they are not afraid that someone will come to bet.

Compared with other gamblers, Zhao Xin has a third candidate in addition to the popular Li Hongyi and Wang Kuiju in the market when placing bets, and that is herself.

If you count the biggest competitors Li Hongyi and Wang Kuiju, according to common sense, Zhao Xin has a one-third chance of winning the championship, this probability is not low, after all, Zhao Xin's odds are definitely lower than Li Hongyi and Wang Kuiju, and the rewards are more generous.

"Okay, you take one hundred taels and bet them on Third Young Master Li." Zhao Xin didn't care about the gambling market this time, but seeing that Lu Liu looked interested, he sighed and said with a smile.

"Third Young Master Li?" Lu Liu was stunned for a moment, her face was full of surprise, in her opinion, even if Zhao Xin didn't bet on herself, then she should choose Li Hongyi or Wang Kuiju, who were in the limelight, the probability of Li Hongyu becoming the head of the case was really low.

"The odds of Li Hongyi and Wang Kuiju are too low, even if they bet on it, the return is small, the third young master of the Li family is a little unpredictable, compared with others on the handicap, Miss knows more about him, so it is better to choose him."

Zhao Xin explained to Lu Liu with a smile that it was naturally impossible for her to add her name to the handicap, so that she could only choose the person who was already on the handicap, so Li Hongyu was undoubtedly the best candidate worth her bet on.

This is not that Zhao Xin necessarily thinks that Li Hongyu can stand out and win the first case, she doesn't know the situation of students in Dujiangkou County when she first arrives, so she naturally chooses someone she is familiar with to bet.

Li Hongyu must have some ability to mix with Class A at the age of fifteen or sixteen, plus the previous matter involving Qin Yue, it will definitely attract Zhao Xin's attention.

Lu Liu bowed slightly when she heard this, she knew that Zhao Xin was not an impulsive and casual person, and she had always done things in a disciplined manner, so she would definitely not choose Li Hongyu for no reason, but Li Hongyu was such a wooden person who could really get the head of the case?

Obviously, Lu Liu's impression of Li Hongyu is stuck in the rumors in the town, and he is a cowardly and dull image.

The corners of Zhao Xin's mouth flashed with an imperceptible smile, although she bet on Li Hongyu, but deep down in her heart, she was bound to win the county trial, if it wasn't for the fact that her name was not on the handicap, she would definitely choose herself.

In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.

Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, Li Hongyu had to go back to the Li family's old house for a reunion dinner.

However, it is gratifying that on the morning of the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, his dye experiment was finally successful, and in addition to the dyes that satisfied him, the color was not only bright but also not suitable for fading, and if it was pushed to the market, it would definitely be very popular.

It is worth mentioning that the dyes dyed in the Ming Dynasty were all extracted from plants, while the dyes tinkered with by Li Hongyu were synthesized by chemical reactions.

Of course, the dye concocted by Li Hongyu cannot be compared with later generations, but it is definitely a historic breakthrough at present.

The men and women of the Li family's reunion dinner are eaten separately, and Li Hongyu, as the person in charge of the Li family's third room, naturally wants to sit at the same table with Li Renhe, Li Renbo and Li Renhu, which has nothing to do with age, mainly because of his identity.

This made Li Hongyu feel quite uncomfortable, he naturally couldn't drink at a young age, and the image he showed to the outside world now was cowardly and dull, so he buried his head in the wine table and pulled the food into his mouth, ignoring the staggering of the scene.

For the sake of Li Hongyu's youth, the people at the wine table will naturally not force him to drink, after all, Li Hongyu is now preparing for the county exam, what is more important than gaining fame, in case Li Hongyu is admitted, he will be glorious.

Not only Li Hongyu, Li Hongyi and other children of the family who are going to participate in the county exam are also restricted from drinking, and the county exam is the top priority of the Li family now.

The happiest thing at the reunion dinner is naturally that the patriarch gives red envelopes to the younger brothers of each house, according to the custom, in addition to the main wife, only the children of the good concubines can participate in the family's reunion dinner, and the children of the concubines are not qualified to attend at all.

As the name suggests, the good concubines are the concubines from good families, although they are also concubines, they have a much higher status than those lowly concubines who are not from good backgrounds.

The so-called lowly concubines are naturally people from low backgrounds, such as maids and advocates and so on.

Li Hongyu's identity is more embarrassing, he should get a red envelope according to his age, but he is the patriarch of the Li family's third room, so he is not suitable to take a red envelope.

However, Li Hongyu is not yet an adult, and Li Renhe, as an elder, will definitely give him a red envelope, which also means that Li Hongyu is now in the Li family's embarrassing status.

After the reunion dinner, Li Hongyu burped back to his residence in the Li family's mansion, and Zhao had not yet come back because he was chatting with the female dependents, and he was extremely bored and walked in the courtyard in a big hat.

This is the first time Li Hongyu has spent the New Year in this world, the sound of firecrackers crackled in his ears, looking at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky around him, he seems to have not had such a lively New Year for a long time, and even the air is full of strong New Year's flavor.

"Young master, the eldest lady told the lady just now, it seems that she wants you to marry the second lady of the Qin family?" Just when Li Hongyu was deep in thought, Rou'er hurriedly ran into the courtyard and said to him in a coquettish voice, the eldest lady in her mouth naturally referred to Li Renhe's wife.

"What?" Li Hongyu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Rou'er in surprise, he suspected that he seemed to have heard it wrong, the eldest aunt actually wanted to match him with Qin Yue, which was simply crazy.

"My mother didn't agree, did she?" Subsequently, Li Hongyu asked quietly, did he think that the Zhao family would agree to this family business, once he married the Qin family, the Li family's three-room property would definitely be swallowed by the Qin family, and there would be no scum left.

"Madame said that the young master's mind is now on the imperial examination, and in order not to distract the young master, I don't want to think about the young master's marriage for the time being." Rou'er nodded, and then said with concern, "But according to the eldest lady's wishes, Second Miss Qin has been taken advantage of by the young master, and if she doesn't marry the young master, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married." ”

"It seems that I saved the wrong person!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, you must know that his identity at the time was a doctor, besides, isn't the eldest aunt afraid that Qin Yue has been taken advantage of by Li Hongqing?

"No, I have to let my mother settle the family affairs as soon as possible, so as not to be remembered!" Subsequently, Li Hongyu said to himself, although the Zhao family had rejected the eldest aunt, it was obvious that the eldest aunt would not give up, judging from the current situation, Li Hongyu was undoubtedly the most suitable person to marry Qin Yue.

This is not only because Li Hongyu "took advantage" of Qin Yue, but also because Li Hongyu believed that Qin Yue was innocent, as Qin Yue's aunt, she naturally hoped that Qin Yue could have a good home, and if the two families married, it could be said that they were close to each other, which was an enviable and commendable thing in ancient times.

What is especially important is that Li Hongyu has a cowardly personality and Qin Yue will not be wronged after marrying in the past, and the third room of the Li family will become Qin Yue's world in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
