Chapter 28: Before the Examination (II)

Liang Pandi looked at the muscles on his body, which were not developed but strong and powerful, and was stunned at first, but when she saw Fan Jin to cover it, she snorted and laughed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Decrepit boy, no one is rare to see your ribs, so there is no need to cover them. Although I have never given birth, I have watched people change children's clothes a lot of times, even if you show your noodles, it doesn't matter, let alone just ribs. Come on, eat, eat stronger, and look like a man. ā€

Fan Jin coughed, "Third sister, I really didn't mean to, it's not good for you to hurt me like this, I thought it was Guan Qing Gu Bai and them coming, and they didn't take precautions." Why didn't you show up for the past few days, could it be that after I went back that morning, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I didn't dare to gamble with me, and I didn't even have the courage to see me? ā€

Liang Pandi put the crockpot on the table and put it hard, "Wash your hands and eat porridge!" I said I wouldn't bet anything with you kid, so don't dream. Sister is busy with business these days and has no time to come to see you, but tomorrow you have to catch the exam, and my sister will send you into the examination room, so I will close the business today and come to accompany you. After eating the porridge, give me a good book, and take the test to show them, our Fanjiazhuang boy is not easy to bully. ā€

Fan Jin said with a smile: "I'm just going to take the county exam tomorrow, not to take the champion exam, is it too early to drink this champion porridge." ā€

"Earlier? It's not early at all! I've asked people these days, and they say that it's not easy to break through any of the three levels, and every level has to be fought as a battle. How can you fight a war without a full stomach? Our Nanhai County has a big head boy, the champion of the father, we have to borrow his blessing to bless you to be in high school. I may wish in the Chenghuang Temple, as long as you can show off your talents, I will give Grandpa Chenghuang a bite of roast suckling pig. Even if you pass the county test, you have to send a pig's head to Grandpa Chenghuang to thank you. You give me some courage, don't let my pig not be able to give away. ā€

The origin of the champion porridge can be traced back to the champion Lun Wenxu in the Zhengde period, which is made with pork liver, powder sausage, and pork, which is particularly delicious to eat, and will definitely be sold out on the eve of the exam. This porridge was cooked by Liang Pandi himself, and he took out the calculations of his body, and Fan Jin's appetite for eating was greatly opened, and he ate the porridge into his stomach like a whirlwind and clouds. He asked while eating: "Sister, but someone is unhappy about you, how do you feel that you are angry." ā€

"yes, of course I'm angry. Do you know what is the most lively thing in Guangzhou these days? Bet! The project of gambling is the county test! ā€

"What's this, we Cantonese people are good at gambling, gambling tickets are common every year of Dabi, everyone bets on who can get into the jinshi, have a lot of fun, should have gotten used to it."

"I'm used to gambling, I love to gamble myself, life is so poor, how can I live without gambling? But these people are too blind, this time they bet on the county to guess the head of the case, the head of the Nanhai case Some people say that it is Wei Haogu of the Wei family, some people say that it is Zhang Shilu of the Zhang family, and Zhou Bixian of the Zhou family, but none of them said that they were in the boy. Lose his mother, there is no one in his eyes! I bet two taels of silver on you, and I bet that you are the head of the case! ā€

Fan Jin couldn't even eat the porridge, put the spoon on the side of the bowl, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I am very grateful for your confidence in me." But how can such a thing as the head of the case be so easy to do? Zhang, Wei, and Zhou are all members of our Nanhai Imperial Examination family, scholarly families, how can my two brushes compare with them, you bet the silver on me, this ......"

"What is this? It's just two taels of silver, and it's not bankrupt! I also know that the head of the case is too difficult, but I am not happy to see them so blind! You take the test well, as long as you pass the county exam, it will be right for me, as for not being the head of the case, it doesn't matter, I just want to buy face, as long as you pass the test, everything will be fine! So, after eating porridge, I will give my sister to study, go to bed early tonight, and my sister will keep a vigil for you to ensure that you must come back from the exam tomorrow. ā€

While the two were talking, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and Guan Qing was helpless in front of him, and explained to Liang Pandi with a bitter face: "Shopkeeper, don't blame me, it was Sister Hu who forced me to bring her, and if she didn't bring her, she would cry and make a fuss, and even I couldn't help it." ā€

Sister Hu also came out from behind Guan Qing at this time, holding a crockpot in her hand, and rushed to Fan Jin in a few steps, first looked at Fan Jin for a while before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie has always been worried that Brother Jin has lost weight, and I am relieved to see that you look so good. This is the champion and the first porridge that my aunt and I made for my brother, and after eating, I will definitely be able to pass the county test tomorrow, followed by the government test and the hospital test...... When I entered the city, I heard that someone was gambling on the head of the county case, and I bet 300 yuan on Brother Jin, and if Brother Jin won the case, I could win 1,500 yuan. ā€

Liang Pandi glanced at Sister Hu and pulled her arm, "If you want to win 1,500 yuan, first of all, you must let Jin Zai hurry up and study, and don't make trouble for him here." He has just eaten the porridge I cooked, and you can save it until noon. Let's go outside and don't disturb him reading. While speaking, he took Sister Hu and walked out.

Fan Jin stopped the two of them, took out the travel expenses from the room, added more than three taels of silver and copper coins, and handed them to Guan Qingdao: "Since the third sister and the eldest sister both bought me to win, how can I not save face for myself." However, I am a scholar, and it is inconvenient for me to come out on my own, so Brother Lao Guan will go on a trip and buy all the money to me as the head of the case. ā€

Liang Pandi cheered when he saw it, "This is like our Nanhai Tsai!" If you lose, you don't lose, and you can't be looked down upon. Go to Fuguifang immediately, buy all of them to be the head of the case, and then bet one or two more for me, Jinzai's current market is one to five, and then I want the Cui fat man of Fuguifang to lose money as pants! Guan Qing Gu Bai, how many private rooms do you two have, all of them are pressed on Jinzi's head and help him support the field! ā€

On the streets of Guangzhou, various inns and restaurants have hung out big red banners to cheer for the students who are rushing to take the exam, and all the shops that sell food provide the champion and the first porridge, and some restaurants have begun to accept the reservation of the champion banquet. In the casino, no one plays the showdown pai gow, and all the guests come to bet on the surname, after all, no matter how big the casino magic power is, you can't cheat on the surname, this kind of gambling looks the fairest, the victory or defeat depends on luck, and people's interest is also the highest.

Fuguifang is the No. 1 gambling stall in Guangzhou City, and the backer behind it is said to be a relative of the Buzheng Yamen, who dares to eat and dare to lose, and the business is the most violent. When Guan Qing arrived, he saw that the wall of Fuguifang was already full of wooden signs, on which were written the names of the children in Nanhai and Panyu counties, and under the names of each child, the odds and the amount of money bets were marked.

Zhang Shilu, Wei Haogu and other popular candidates have already bet on dozens of taels or even nearly a hundred lians, Fan Jin's name is in a very inconspicuous corner, and it took a long time to find it. asked about the odds, several popular characters are either nine to one, or eight to one, only Fan Jin and other cold rice are one to five.

He first handed over Fan Jin's silver to the gambling house to buy Fan Jin, waited for the return ticket, and touched the more than 100 copper coins he had worked hard to accumulate, considering his friendship with Fan Jin and his loyalty to the shopkeeper, he resolutely bought all his net worth and Zhang Shilu.
