Chapter 18: The College Crisis
After Gao Gao Ming explained it, Zhang Hua finally understood what the gambling house was doing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Use extremely high odds to confuse the eyes of the people, so that they are addicted to the odds of one to ten and cannot extricate themselves, so as to forget their ability to paint.
The next two can win ten taels in the end, try to ask who can resist such a temptation?
As today's advertisement says, buy more and earn more, buy less and earn less, this kind of thing Zhang Hua didn't expect to be seen here!
However, if he really lost to him in the competition with Shi Xuan, wouldn't the gambling house lose a lot of money? Is that what the gambling house believes in itself?
"Senior brother, what if I lose to Shi Xuan in painting?"
Zhang Hua asked worriedly, and after Gao Gao Ming heard about it, he also laughed as if he had heard a joke
"Brother Xian lost to Shi Xuan on top of painting? Haha, how is this possible! ”
"Senior brother, I mean, what if, what if you lose?"
"Huh? What if you lose? …… Brother Xian can't lose! If the foolish brother loses to Shi Xuan in painting, then the foolish brother will not survive! ”
Zhang Hua: "........."
At this time, Zhang Hua suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pressure on his body, and the source of this pressure was Gao Ming in front of him, and the unmasked casino owner!
If he really lost to Shi Xuan, then Zhang Hua estimated that Gao Ming and the owner of the gambling house would definitely cry, especially the latter! There are also many possibilities to cry until you lose your breath
"No wonder...... No wonder Lao Liu is so excited! At this time, Gao Gao Ming muttered
"Senior brother, what are you talking about? What's the wonder? Zhang Hua asked curiously
"Brother Xian is like this, when Brother Fool came out of the gambling house, Lao Liu, the owner of the gambling house, asked me vigorously, do you have confidence in the competition, it turns out that he also thought of the possibility that Brother Xian will lose."
"Thoughts? Then why didn't he lower Shi Xuan's odds of winning all? ”
"There's no hurry! When the foolish brother was leaving, there were more and more people betting on Shi Xuan's total victory, and after the foolish brother saw Lao Liu's greedy eyes at that time, it was estimated that he would raise the odds!
By now, Shi Xuan's odds of winning all of them are likely to be fifteen to one! ”
"Fifteen for one?"
The gambler's mentality, Zhang Hua still can't understand it, not only that, but when he saw Gao Gao Ming on the other side, he was about to be stunned.
"No, no, it's okay for the virtuous brother to go out with the foolish brother?" Gao Ming sat up, took Zhang Hua's arm and said
"Brother Gao, where are you going?"
"Brother Fool heard that there is a painting of Shi Xuan in the Star Picking Academy, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, maybe the virtuous brother can deduce after seeing Shi Xuan's painting that his attainments in painting skills are."
"Okay, I'll go with my brother."
Zhang Hua, who was going to go to the academy, agreed to Gao Ming's proposal at this time, and said that he would leave, and the two were also ready to go to the academy immediately, but at this time, the maid Luliu grabbed Zhang Hua
"Young master, you wait."
"What's wrong, Green Willow?"
After Lu Liu stopped Zhang Hua, she also took out a piece of red cloth from her arms that she didn't know what to wrap, and then opened the red cloth, revealing a lot of copper plates inside
"Young master, this is the money that Green Willow has saved in the past two months."
"Green willow, you're going to ......"
After seeing Lu Liu's sudden move, Zhang Hua seemed to have guessed something at this time
"Young master, that Shi Xuan said that he could do anything, and he hyped that he would definitely win the competition, this kind of person will definitely not be able to do so in the end."
"Green willow is just a maid next to the young master, what can help the young master is only to take care of the young master's usual daily life, although the green willow can't help much in the competition, but these forty-six copper plates, this represents the green willow's confidence in the young master!"
"Green willow, you ......" was painted by a warm current in the heart of Green Willow, and there were a lot of feelings at this time.
Although Zhang Hua doesn't know how much the monthly salary of the people in the house is, just looking at the action that Green Willow carries with him, then it must be that Green Willow has saved more than two months.
Just because she believes in herself, Lu Liu can make such a move, and for the copper plate she is holding in her hand, it is also as heavy as Mount Tai in Zhang Hua's eyes at this time.
"Okay, I'll take it on behalf of your young master." When Zhang Hua was embarrassed, Gao Gao Ming on the side reached out and took the copper plate of the green willow.
"Senior brother, this?"
"If the virtuous brother is uneasy, then you can win the competition in the middle of the month"
"When you say this, brother, then I feel even more uneasy."
Zhang Hua said with a wry smile, and then glanced at the green willow in anticipation, and Zhang Hua also took the copper plate in Gao Ming's hand under her gaze.
"Young master, this is my ......" Zhang Yi's opening at this time made Zhang Hua turn his eyes to him.
However, when Zhang Hua saw that there were a few copper plates lying in his hands pitifully, and the copper plates were still shiny, Zhang Hua's face immediately changed
"Why do you have to mix everything?"
"Young master, although these copper plates are few, they also represent a small piece of mind!"
"Take, take, I'll take it!"
Helplessly, he glanced at Zhang Yi, who became smiling because of his act of accepting the copper plate, and Zhang Hua also shook his head helplessly.
"Senior brother, let's go."
"Good"
………
As an old academy in Shicheng, the existence of Star Picking Academy may have become a symbol or a flagpole. Thirty years of existence, this is also what makes the Star Picking Academy the first academy in the hearts of the people of Shicheng.
In previous years, there were countless students who applied for the exam, and even students would take the initiative to come without going to various places to recruit them, which also made the teachers of Xingxing Academy feel proud and proud.
But those were just the past, and now the Star Picking Academy is like an old man entering the twilight of his life.
Although there are still students coming and going in the academy, there is no vitality in them, and the sorrow on their faces seems to be contagious, making this once the first academy in Stone City become dull, without the slightest demeanor of the past.
The rise of other academies, as well as the fact that the students in their own academies in recent years have not made the slightest achievements and achievements in the imperial examinations, all of which are shaking the status of the Star Picking Academy in the Stone City.
Last year, a painting finally appeared, but Zhang Hua didn't have the slightest idea about the imperial examination, and was obsessed with painting and had no other intentions.
Even because of Zhang Hua's introverted personality, he even came to the academy less often in the future
Many gentlemen of the academy also lamented this situation, and even some gentlemen who felt ashamed of the name of the academy were sad and lamented at night
"Why is this so? Why is this so! Is it really that the sky is going to die, and I will pick up the stars? ”
And since many people in Wenhai Academy ranked first in the imperial examination last year, and their own side did not have any results, a gray aura shrouded it.
External troubles are like this, and internal worries occur one after another, especially when the Hundred Flowers Festival is approaching, and the voices of controversy continue to appear in the academy.
And Zhang Hua, who had just walked into the academy with Gao Gaoming, frowned tightly when he saw this scene......
