Chapter 139 is a lottery
Yuan Jiang shook his head, "It's not that I don't dare, it's just that there is no color or anything here, and it's very boring." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yuan Xi asked, "I don't know what Brother Jiang wants?" ”
Walking in the hall, Yuan Jiang paced back and forth from east to west, and suddenly looked up, saw Gao Ran standing behind Yuan Xi, had a plan, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a small gamble is pleasant, and a big gamble hurts the body, so how about we bet on General Gao Ran?" ”
"What?" Yuan Xi and Gao Ran were both stunned, and their two pairs of big eyes stared at Yuan Jiang suspiciously, not knowing what he meant by this.
Yuan Jiang smiled and said: "Second brother, I can't hide it, I have admired General Gao's talent for a long time, but seeing that he can't even compare to a general in your position, I really can't help it, so I thought about recruiting him as my subordinate through this poem." Of course, if the second brother wins, I am willing to give you a military lieutenant to be a general. ”
As soon as Yuan Jiang said this, everyone present was stunned, Yuan Xi didn't expect Yuan Jiang to solicit Gao Lan so directly; And the people on Yuan Jiang's side were surprised why he was interested in a small captain, you must know that the position of captain is even lower than that of the nine-rank sesame official.
Gao Ran, as a party, was a little flattered, at this time he had not yet reached the age of standing, he was upright, did not know how to tend to the flames, although he was Yuan Xi's general, but in the whole Jizhou was very unpopular, and in Yuan Xi's mansion, he was often squeezed out by other generals.
When he heard that Yuan Jiang was willing to recruit him under his command, he couldn't help but be a little happy, and when he heard that Yuan Jiang was actually willing to take a high-ranking general like the military captain to make a bet with Yuan Xi, he was even more overjoyed, so that even if Yuan Jiang hadn't won this gamble, Gao Ran was grateful to him and grateful for his kindness.
When Yuan Xi heard this, he didn't hesitate, after all, he had the purpose of rectifying Yuan Jiang, which led to this gamble, he didn't dare to say that he was 100% sure in his heart, but he was also nine out of ten; What's more, the conditions offered by Yuan Jiang were so generous that he couldn't refuse at all, so he had to agree without thinking about it.
Chun Yuqiong, who had never thought that he had been standing beside him, said: "Second son, this is absolutely impossible, although General Gao has a humble rank, but his strength is superior, keeping him by his side will definitely help you achieve great things, if you lose him to Jiang Gongzi, it can be said that raising a tiger is a trouble." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Xi was displeased, "General Chun, are you so sure that this son will lose?" ”
Chun Yuqiong immediately realized that she was panicked, and there was a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly apologized, "Second son, it was the fault of the last general, and the last general said the wrong thing in a hurry, please forgive me." But this Gao General really can't be used to make bets. ”
"General Chun, not to mention whether the second prince will lose, just based on the conditions offered by Jiang Gongzi, we have taken a big advantage, imagine that if we win, not only can we get back all the face we lost just now, but also get a military captain for nothing, isn't it beautiful?"
It was Xu You who said this, since he was defeated by Yuan Jiang, he has always wanted to get back on the field, and now he has heard that there is this gambling game, how can there be any reason not to approve of it, not to mention that his impression of Gao Ran is not very good, and the impression is that the two have had a dispute.
Chun Yuqiong asked, "What if I lose?" ”
Xu You said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just that you lost a captain, what's the big deal, even if you give him to Jiang Gongzi, it's not impossible." ”
After speaking, Xu You glanced at Gao Ran disdainfully.
Although Gao Ran was a little away from the three of them, he listened to their conversation word for word, when he heard Xu You's sentence "Isn't it just that he lost a captain, what's the big deal", a burst of anger burned in his chest, if he hadn't been squeezed by people from time to time on weekdays, and he had developed a good patience, I am afraid that he would have turned his face by now.
Chun Yu Qiong was silent for a long time, and he couldn't find the words to refute Xu You, so he had to say to Yuan Xi: "We have to ask General Gao's opinion on this matter, right?" ”
"What can he say?" Yuan Xi pursed his lips, having said that, in order to give Chun Yuqiong's face, he still symbolically asked Gao Ran.
Although Gao Ran had the intention of belonging to Yuan Jiang, he didn't dare to show it at the moment, he just hugged his fists and said: "Listen to the judgment of the second son." ”
"Well said!" Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction, took Gao Lan's hand and said, "General Gao doesn't have to worry, the winner of this gamble must be this son." ”
After the bet was settled, Yuan Jiang asked Yuan Shu to be a notary public for the bet.
Although he didn't understand why his son would design such a gamble and gamble on a military captain, based on his trust, Yuan Shu still agreed, and happily accepted the identity of a notary.
After the game was set up, many of the guests followed suit, but the number of bets was a bit strange.
It stands to reason that people who have seen Yuan Jiang's poems should all bet on him to win, but the strange thing is here, this time bet on Yuan Jiang to win, except for Yuan Shu and Tao Qiuhong and others, most of the guests bet on Yuan Xi to win, and even several of Yuan Shu's generals secretly asked servants to help them bet on Yuan Xi to win.
In fact, it is understandable to think about it, after all, the initiative of this gamble is in the hands of Yuan Xi: according to what was said before, this gamble is for Yuan Xi to casually point out three things to let Yuan Jiang compose poems.
This gamble sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult.
First, there are big changes: these three things are found casually from the hall, whether they are chickens, ducks, fish and meat on the table, or the cups that everyone holds in their hands, or the bird feathers that are inserted on the feather fan for decoration, in short, there are all kinds of things, and there are countless of them.
Second, it is difficult to chant: If Yuan Xi refers to some bamboo chrysanthemums and Meilan, it is not difficult to chant, but if he refers to any wine glass, pork, or case, it is very difficult.
Based on the above two difficulties, as long as the guests present are not stupid, they will bet on Yuan Xi to win.
Seeing that many people were betting on him to win, Yuan Xi was overjoyed, and he said to Yuan Jiang complacently: "Brother Jiang, so many people are not optimistic about you, it seems that you are going to lose this gamble." ”
Yuan Jiang pursed his lips nonchalantly, "Don't you think it's too early to talk big now?" Let's wait until after the comparison. ”
"Hmph, I see that you don't see the coffin and don't cry, then I'll fulfill you." Yuan Xi swept around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the painting fan standing in the hands of the maids on both sides of Yuan Shu, frowned, and thought about it, "Okay, this first thing is the painting fan." ”
When Tao Qiuhong and the others heard this, they all secretly screamed that it was not good, although they already knew that Yuan Xi would make a bad move, but they never expected that his first move was a bad move, and they were all depressed at the moment, and they didn't even look at Yuan Jiang.
And Yuan Jiang was also stunned when he heard that he wanted to write poems with a painting fan, and then there was a wry smile on his face.
"Haha, Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you? Does this first question stump you? ”
