Chapter 158: Wait for the money

Although the innkeeper believed that Hu Ye was very rich, he also had the same question as the scholar, could it be that this kid really carried 10,000 taels of silver with him at any time? Aren't you afraid of being robbed? It seems that the guard behind him is not very good, and he can be safe and sound along the way?

"Hahaha." was questioned, Hu Ye laughed twice.

To be honest, we really can't get 10,000 taels on us, but now we are no longer the kind of Hu Ye who just arrived in Beiping and still has to worry about money, we are people who want to gain fame, greet Zheng Da, and Zhu Di will send the money over. What's more, Hu Ye never thought that he would lose, even if the bet was 100,000 taels, he dared to gamble.

"Boy, what do you mean by that? Don't you have any money on you, and you're trying to trick us today? The scholar saw Hu Ye laughing and said coldly, if he was tricked today, he must not let this kid go lightly.

"Boom!" Seeing that his young master was questioned, where could he still stand, Lao Qian strode forward and yelled, scaring those scholars into taking a step back.

"You ignorant scholars, my young master has no less than one million taels of money, can't you come up with 10,000 taels of silver?" Old Qian said viciously to the group of scholars.

"A million taels!"

Everyone present gasped, this is an astronomical amount, comparable to two months of tax revenue from the treasury, could it be that an eleven or twelve-year-old doll has really handled so much silver?

Hu Ye knew that Lao Qian was a bit bragging, but he really had a lot of money in his hands. When the dam was built in Beiping, 500,000 taels of silver were raised by himself, and Zhu Di copied the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Zhou family and those profiteers. Thinking about it now, it was really like that, and Hu Ye couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Those scholars looked at Hu Ye's expression, and they couldn't tell whether Lao Qian's words were true or false.

"What are you afraid of. I, Hu Ye, won't run away again, but I'm the one who wants to be lifted, so I live in this inn. Besides, isn't it just 10,000 taels of silver, I can still get this money, and when I go back with a letter of resignation, the silver will naturally arrive in a few days, I don't know if I can make this bet? Hu Ye looked at those scholars who didn't believe him, so he said slowly.

When the scholars saw that Hu Ye was confident, they also made up their minds. Anyway, it's still early, and it will take about half a year to get a jinshi, and then make a note, I'm not afraid that this kid will run away.

"It's a gamble, but we have to make a note, or it's not good for you to run away." After the scholar finished speaking, he asked his entourage to bring a pen and paper, quickly wrote a note, and brought it to Hu Ye.

"Haha, as I thought. I'm afraid you won't admit it then. Hu Ye smiled, then picked up the brush and signed his name on it.

"Now that I've signed it, shouldn't you sign it too?" Putting down the brush, Hu Ye said coldly to the rest of the scholars present.

"Hmph. Who's afraid of whom. Those scholars also came forward one by one to sign, and they waited for the cash to be collected in half a year.

There are so many candidates in the country, and there are only about 60 Jinshi, and it is not the turn of this poor scholar to be a scholar. Therefore, they firmly believe that Hu Ye will definitely lose this bet. I was afraid that if I missed my name, I might have to charge a hundred taels of silver less.

The shopkeeper watched these scholars sign one by one, and his hands were itching. Such a good opportunity to make money can't be missed, so I also came to the front.

"What? The shopkeeper also wants to gamble? Hu Ye saw that the shopkeeper was also eager to try, so he said to the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Hehe, the son is so rich, the little old man also wants to join in the fun." The shopkeeper smiled.

"It just so happens that there is still a lack of notaries here, so the shopkeeper will come to be this notary, anyway, you can't run away from such a big inn, and you can't let these scholars get away lightly when the time comes." Hu Ye smiled and handed the shopkeeper a brush, and asked the shopkeeper to sign his name.

Yin Changlong looked at the dense signature, and he was still a little panicked in his heart. It is indeed difficult to take the Jinshi exam, every three years, there are so 60 or so in the country, although he is very confident, but he is still a little worried. This signature is black and white, and you can't hide when the time comes, if you can't pass the test, this kid you just met is not going to lose 10,000 taels of silver.

Hu Ye looked back at Yin Changlong, knowing what he was worried about. But for himself, a future person, how can he lose this kind of gamble, and he can help him make money again.

"Haha, Brother Yin wants to open some more, review well, and wait to collect money next year." Hu Ye reached out again and patted Yin Changlong's shoulder, and said with a laugh.

"Boy, I don't know where you got your confidence, looking at his poor and sour appearance, can you get the middle show?" The scholar at the head had already signed, and when he heard the conversation between Hu Ye and Yin Changlong, he couldn't help but say with disdain.

"I don't know if you've heard a saying, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty." Hu Ye said slowly, although he felt disgusted when he said this, but now only this sentence is the most appropriate.

"Young master, this sentence is not good, I think it should be changed to a human who cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured." Lao Qian listened to Hu Ye's words and immediately retorted.

Hu Ye just kicked over, and you demolished the stage like this. But the old money has really changed, and now it has begun to become crepe, it seems that his family is slowly thinking about the change of the scholarly family, which is a good thing.

"Okay, now that it's all signed, this gambling contract will take effect, I hope you won't be repaid by then." Hu Ye put away the note, and then handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you are this notary, you must not show favoritism, this note will be handed over to you for safekeeping." ”

"Childe, don't worry, my Laiyun Inn has been open by the Qinhuai River for decades, so I naturally won't smash my signboard." The shopkeeper patted his chest and reassured.

"Hmph, we don't have to pay our bills, I hope you don't run away in advance." The scholars snorted coldly, and then continued to eat, as if the bet just now was just an episode.

Hu Ye looked at those scholars like a loser, and felt a little guilty for his evil intentions, so it was indeed a bit cruel to take out a hundred taels of silver on them alone.

"Shopkeeper, open a room for Yin Gongzi, now he is the one who wants to be a jinshi, how can he still live in a firewood room." Hu Ye said to the shopkeeper.

"This ......" shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, this Yin Changlong was penniless, wouldn't it be a loss to open a room for him.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for the money!" As he spoke, Hu Ye took out another silver ticket and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Brother, you can't!" Yin Changlong shouted, this Hu Ye has already helped him too much, it is good to live in a firewood house, and he must not let him spend any more money.

"Brother Yin doesn't have to mind, just treat it as if I lent it to you, and when you win those bets, you will double it and pay me back when the time comes." Hu Ye said with a smile.

"But ......"

"Boy, my mother-in-law and mother are like a girl, my young master doesn't live in a room alone, but I got you a single room, what else do you want." Old Qian said to Yin Changlong with a big grin.

"Okay......" Yin Changlong could only reluctantly agree, since this Hu Ye trusted himself so much, he could only work hard to repay him by being admitted to the Jinshi. (To be continued......)
