Zhang Hongchou heard that these people in front of him were really refugees, so he was a little embarrassed, took out a handful of scattered silver taels in his arms, and handed them forward very generously, saying: "Take it, Zhang is drunk today, and he has just looked away again and again, and he should apologize." ”

As soon as the refugees received Zhang Hongchou's money, they were floating in their footsteps, looking left and right, and the refugees who saw the kind face came forward to beg for food, and immediately swarmed and surrounded several of them, complaining and begging for food.

Zhang Hongchou, Qiao Zhenhua, and Jing Kui were not spared, and even Tang Xianzu was surrounded by people. Ye Xiaotian had already changed into prison clothes when he was imprisoned, and only changed back into his civilian robe when he arrived in Nanjing, and there was no silver on his body, so he asked those refugees, only to know that Taihu Lake had been flooded, flooding thousands of acres of fields around, and the imperial court was in a period of turmoil, and the disaster relief measures were not timely enough, and those refugees whose homes were flooded had to flee everywhere to beg, these refugees were the first to enter Nanjing City, and there were no less than tens of thousands of people coming one after another.

At this time, two horse-mounted carriages drove out of the backyard of the "Light Smoke Building", the open-top carriage was quite ancient, and there were two people in the first car, one was the young grandfather Xu who was dressed in a jade-colored light shirt, and sitting side by side with him was a man in black with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. In the car behind, Rui Qingxing, the son of Rui Chuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and another young man.

Seeing that Zhang Hongchou and the others were drunk and surrounded by a group of people called Huazi, who were scattering money there, the corners of Grandpa Xu's mouth twitched again, and he said disdainfully: "Little favor and small favor, sell your reputation and reputation!" ”

Zhang Hongshou was drunk and didn't hear clearly. Ye Xiaotian heard it clearly, it just so happened that he had no money on him, and those refugees did not surround him. Ye Xiaotian immediately took two steps forward and said, "Little grandfather, a small favor is also a favor, if you can't help the world, even if you only save one person, it is a good deed." Speaking of which, little grandfather, your family is in Nanjing. If you are willing to come out to help the people, you will definitely be able to save more people, why don't you pull out a dime. Rather, they ridicule those who are willing to give a helping hand to the poor? ”

Grandpa Xu has a high status, and he has never been accused in person like this, and when Ye Xiaotian said it, he couldn't help but be stunned. The man in black sitting next to Grandpa Xu glanced at Ye Xiaotian with interest. A slight smile was revealed.

Grandpa Xu was stunned. Fang Cai reacted and snorted coldly: "Exemption, discount, relief, loan, soup kitchen, millet adjustment, disaster relief matters are the affairs of the imperial court. How can we wait for the blister? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "The imperial court has its own rules, and sometimes it is inevitable that it will not be reconciled, and the powerful and gentry will love the people, love things and benevolent people, and give generously to save the victims." Isn't that the right thing to do? If the little grandfather doesn't have this heart and power, but no one forces you. But ridiculing others is never right. ”

Little Grandpa Xu was a little embarrassed by what he said, and then Rui Qingxing, who was a big sycophant in the car behind, sneered and said: "A group of gentlemen who are not enterprising and indulge in obscene words and songs every day are also worthy of talking about benevolence and love in front of Little Grandpa!" You are such a small favor, invite people to buy people's hearts, you can save a few people, unless the little grandfather does not make a move, he will definitely be able to save hundreds of people, Deze Guangpi, and ten thousand families will be born Buddha. ”

The Xu family's tutor is actually very strict, although Grandpa Xu has a lot of money, but the pocket money is impossible to help too many people, as soon as he heard Huang Qingxing's words, his heart was a little drummed: "This cowhide is a little bigger, my father is rich, but how can he use his private wealth to help disasters, with his identity, there are too many taboos." If I had come forward, how would I have the money to help so many victims, looking at this, there are a lot of victims. ”

Ye Xiaotian listened to it slightly, and looked at Grandpa Xu, his eyes full of disdain. In his heart, he thought that if he could provoke this little grandfather to come forward for disaster relief, no matter what his intentions were, he could save many people after all.

Young Master Xu was young and vigorous, especially in Jinling City, only others had always held him to compliment him, and he had ever been despised by others, at this time, not only Ye Xiaotian looked at him with a mocking look, but Zhang Hongchou, Qiao Zhenhua and others also came over and glanced at him with disdain...... Those refugees also looked at him with a kind of disgust for those who were unkind to the rich, which was really unbearable.

Young Grandpa Xu straightened his waist, stretched out his hand and patted the armrest, and said in a loud voice: "Don't you believe it?" This little grandfather set up a shed to give porridge, but I want to see if you save more people, or this little grandfather saves more people. ”

Zhang Hongchou has always been at odds with him, but the threshold of the Xu family is too high, although Zhang Hongchou is the son of the Shangshu family, he has always been deflated, and it is rare to have a chance to compete with Xu Xiaogongzi, and immediately said: "Really? Little grandfather, you won't be a fake trick that just talks but doesn't practice! ”

Young Grandpa Xu was furious, stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said: "Then I will make a bet with you, have you seen it, just the stone archway in front, you and I will each set up a porridge factory on one side from tomorrow, whoever runs out of food first, who rescues the victims will naturally be less, then who will lose." ”

Grandpa Xu's plan is that I have less pocket money, and you have less, so I have more savings than you, so I will take it out to earn back this face, who would have thought that Zhang Hongchou is not timid, he will lose if he loses, anyway, it is not ashamed to lose to the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion.

Zhang Hongchou straightened his chest and said, "It's done!" I'm betting with you! Little grandpa, what if you lose? ”

Grandpa Xu sneered: "I'll lose, joke!" ”

The more Ye Xiaotian watched it, the more interesting it became, anyway, he was not afraid of big things when he watched the play, so he immediately said: "Little grandfather, you can't talk too much, in case of something, after all, it is still a possibility, if you lose, what should you do?" ”

Before Grandpa Xu could speak, Zhang Hongchou had already preemptively said: "Grandpa, if you lose, set up a banquet in the Retranslation Building and invite a few of our brothers to a banquet, how about it?" ”

When Ye Xiaotian heard it, this bet was too light, right? It's just a banquet, you are the son of the Shangshu family, haven't you ever been to a banquet and eaten wine? Why are you so greedy?

He didn't know that this retranslation building was a restaurant specially used by the Ming Dynasty to receive foreign guests, even so. But it's not that no one can't hold a banquet there, for example, Guan Xiaokun, one of the two "followers" of the little grandfather, or the little grandfather himself, can have a banquet there.

Guan Xiaokun is the son of the Shangshu family of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites happens to be in charge of the Huitong Pavilion, and the Retranslation Building is under the jurisdiction of the Huitong Hall, and if he wants to put wine in the Retranslation Building, the official steward of the Retranslation Building will naturally open the door to convenience.

And Grandpa Xu is because of Nanjing, the town of the Duke of Wei, which has been in business for more than 100 years, and has connections all over the city, and is the first in Nanjing. Grandpa Xu wants to set up wine there, which is naturally not a difficult task.

But for others, it is a symbol of status and status. You have money again. You may not be qualified to serve wine in the Retranslation Building, and if you have the right to do so, people will not give you this convenience, and you will not be able to sit there and raise a glass to drink. And face. It is precisely the thing that the children of these high-ranking officials care about the most. Therefore, in Ye Xiaotian's opinion, it is just a table of wine, but it is an important thing for these children of officials and eunuchs who have always had a good face.

As soon as he heard that if he lost, he would have to make amends for his crimes, Xu Gongzi hesitated a little, and the black-clothed man sitting next to him still smiled silently, but Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing, who were sitting in the back car, provoked without knowing how serious: "Okay!" If we lose, we will apologize for our sins, and if you lose, what if you lose? ”

Zhang Hongchou took advantage of the strength of the wine, patted his chest vigorously and said, "From now on, where have you four been." We will retreat and never face each other! ”

A gamble. That's it!

At the moment, Grandpa Xu and others drove away, Zhang Hongchou and others' families also drove to the car, Zhang Hongchou and others got into the car and shouted, and went home to get private money, vowing to fight with Grandpa Xu, as long as they can make Grandpa Xu disgraced, they will be famous in Stone Town.

Grandpa Xu has a very strict family education, and it doesn't matter how majestic he is outside, if he wants him to ask his father Wei Guogong for money for disaster relief, in order to win a gamble, I'm afraid his father will have to let him go to the ancestral shrine to kneel for a day. Now that the gambling game has been established, the more he thinks about it, the more apprehensive he feels, for fear that he will lose this game and will not be able to come to the stage at that time.

When he arrived at the door of the Duke of Xu's mansion, Young Grandfather Xu got out of the car, first confessed to the man in black, pulled Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing aside, and whispered: "This matter can't be done, we are betting in public, if we really lose, I, Xu Qiyun, will lose face." ”

Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing hurriedly said: "Little grandfather, don't worry, in terms of net worth, they can compare with you and the little grandfather, not to mention that our two brothers will not stay out of the matter, in this matter, our brothers have to help the little grandfather win them." ”

Young Grandpa Xu felt a little relieved when he heard this, pointed at the two of them with his finger, and warned: "I can sue you, I am being put on the back of a tiger by the two of you today, if I really lose this bet, I will not spare you!" ”

Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing patted their chests again and again to reassure, and Grandpa Xu nodded and said, "Then you go and prepare, tomorrow morning, the porridge shed must be erected!" ”

Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing agreed and drove away. Young Master Xu turned around, shook his head and smiled at the black-clothed man waiting on the side, and said in a disapproving tone: "These two guys, what kind of gambling game, they are all children's games, which makes Brother Li laugh." ”

The man in black smiled slightly and said, "Even if it's a game, it's a good thing to be able to help the victims because of this." Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and doing good is a blessing. ”

Young Grandpa Xu said: "That's, that's, haha, follow them to mess around, but it's snubbing Brother Li, Brother Li, please." ”

Xu Xiaogong and the black-clothed boy turned around the nine-zhang wide Panlong Zhaobi in front of the Xuguo Mansion, and were about to enter the mansion, when they suddenly saw a pair of women standing there with a horse in front of them, and a plain-clothed woman in front of her head had a short sword at her waist, heroic and sassy, and when she saw Xu Xiaogong, she snorted angrily: "Brother Xu, it is really difficult to enter the gate of your house, you are not at home, this girl is stunned and can't enter the door of your Wei Guogong's Mansion, and she has been standing here for a long time." ”

Young Grandpa Xu raised his eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "Shimei, why are you?" ”

The man in black has always been a tranquil appearance with nothing to worry about and not tied to his heart, when he saw Zhan Ning'er, although there was a slight look of appreciation in his eyes, he was still an elegant appearance of eight winds not moving, but when he saw Xia Yingying, who was standing behind Zhan Ning'er vividly, two blazing lights suddenly shot out of his eyes that had always been indifferent.
