Chapter 8: Betting
Huangfu Jingchen: "......"
What did he do? What does it mean to not admit it?
Looking at the young man's smart eyes in front of him, he suddenly understood that this young man's speech was performed, and if he didn't know what he hadn't done, he would almost believe it.
Huangfu Jingchen's face quickly cooled, and he didn't answer Xia Wenjin's words, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he scooped up the silver in his hand, and his face was cold: "These ten taels belong to this son, and the eight thousand taels owed are limited to you to pay off within one month!" Otherwise, you're going to go to jail! ”
The silver that hasn't been covered with heat is gone in a blink of an eye, and the date of the debt is still so approaching, Xia Wenjin looked very melancholy, sighed in frustration, and said pitifully: "I will definitely pay back the silver I owe, but the king of Hades still hasn't exorcised the hungry ghosts, Brother Huang invited me to have a meal, right?" When I'm full, I'll raise money? ”
Huangfu Jingchen: "......" He has only heard that the general does not drive hungry soldiers, and the king of Hades does not drive hungry ghosts? Who is he scolding?
He tried to ignore the strangeness of her words and get straight to the point: "Can you raise it?" ”
"Of course! You invite me to eat, and I promise to raise it within three days! Xia Wenjin was full of confidence and swore an oath.
"Three days? Are you stupid for me? ”
"Then you might as well make a bet!"
"Bet on what?"
"Bet whatever you say!"
Huangfu Jingchen pondered for a moment and said, "Within three days, if you can't raise all the funds, give me a slave and a servant for a year; If you have all the money, you will be divided into half of the eight thousand taels of silver. ”
Xia Wenjin's eyes were slightly condensed, a slave or a servant? Isn't that small? But will she lose? Of course not.
She said nonchalantly: "Deal!" ”
Huangfu Jingchen sneered, he raised eight thousand taels of silver in three days, he didn't believe it, it was not bad to let this kid be a slave and a servant for a year! He stretched out his hand and said, "Make a contract!" ”
Xia Wenjin high-fived him, and the appointment was settled. She didn't take this to heart, and said with a grin, "Then you can invite me to dinner now, right?" I'm starving! ”
Huangfu Jingchen glanced at her strangely, the honest appearance of the black-faced young man and the current eccentric appearance are completely like two people, this kid actually made a seamless transfer, why didn't he go to be a play?
He snorted, "Go! "What's a mere meal? I want to see how this kid raised eight thousand taels for him in three days.
Of course, it is the best restaurant in the town, Narcissus Building, this Yang'an Town is the most prosperous town in Fengshan County, Tangsong County, Jiazhou.
In addition, she swore that she could raise 8,000 taels in three days, so what if he waited for three days?
Xia Wenjin personally went to order what wine and food to serve, as if he was the master, and Huangfu Jingchen was her honored guest, and was so thoughtfully entertained, Huangfu Jingchen didn't care.
When the good dishes were served, Huangfu Jingchen saw that it was quite hearty.
He was originally from a wealthy background, and he didn't feel anything about this table of wine and food, but after being hungry for a day, he now had a hearty meal, and he only felt that he was eating very happily.
Xia Wenjin personally poured a glass of wine, handed it to him, and said humbly and gentlemanly: "Brother Huang, thank you for your affection, I will remember this delicious meal today, and I will never forget it!" ”
Huangfu Jingchen took the wine glass and glanced at her: "Don't, in three days, you raise all the money, we will meet indefinitely!" ”
Xia Wenjin didn't care either, and raised his eyebrows: "Okay!" He also poured a glass and said: "Meeting is fate, come, do it!" ”
Huangfu Jingchen reluctantly brought the wine glass to his lips, but his eyes deepened, put the glass down, looked up at Xia Wenjin, slapped the table suddenly, and shouted: "I almost fell for you!" You're pouring this boy into a soup, right? I'll tell you, it's useless to be courteous in front of Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi only gives you three days, so you'd better prepare early. If you can't do it in three days, I'm going to send you to prison, and I won't be relentless! ”
This loud sound made Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly come over and said, "Does the guest officer have any orders?" ”
Xia Wenjin turned around and waved his hand, "It's okay!" ”
Xiao Er left.
Xia Wenjin sighed, as if sighing and pleading: "Huang Gongzi, when you have a good time, don't spoil the scenery!" At least make me happy to finish this meal! After all, if I go to prison, I will have to squat for several years, and this may be the best meal I have had in years! ”
She raised her wine glass and said, "Brother Huang doesn't give you this face?" ”
Huangfu Jingchen glanced at her and snorted, then raised the cup in front of him and drank it all.
Xia Wenjin's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he was about to pour wine again, but Huangfu Jingchen reached out and took the wine jug, poured it for her, and then filled it for himself, and took the initiative to raise a glass and said: "This son is a generous person, since this son invites, it will naturally make you eat happily." Come on, do it! ”
Xia Wenjin drank the wine, as if he had forgotten what had just happened, and immediately chatted with Huangfu Jingchen with a smile. She speaks interestingly and engagingly, and the little things she tells are a little more interesting.
Huangfu Jingchen looked at Xia Wenjin more than once, those anecdotes and anecdotes are very interesting, what she said doesn't seem to be apocryphal? At such a young age, how can you be so well-informed?
Xia Wenjin was talking, while observing Huangfu Jingchen with his spare eyes, and silently counted in his heart: "One, two, three......"
Suddenly, she felt a cramping pain in her stomach, an indescribable feeling stirring the wind and rain, her face changed slightly, and her eyes became inexplicable.
Huangfu Jingchen turned his eyes to look at her, and seemed to smile: "What's the matter, I eat too much greasy, and my stomach can't stand it?" ”
Xia Wenjin's heart moved, his eyes rolled, and Yun Qingfeng smiled lightly: "I was really said by Brother Huang." Brother Huang, wait a minute, I'll go and make it convenient! ”
Huangfu Jingchen was as gentle as jade and smiled understandingly: "Go!" ”
Xia Wenjin didn't pretend to be fake, it was really unbearable, and she rushed to the thatched house quickly.
No, counting to three, it should be Huangfu Jingchen who can't stand running a thatched house, why himself? Could it be that the guy didn't drink that glass of wine at all? She watched him drink it with her own eyes.
No matter what, my stomach is so uncomfortable, let's solve it first.
Xia Wenjin has always only been the emperor's husband, Jingchen is just a gentleman from a rich background, and he was really careless when he was recruited.
Fortunately, she is also a healer, and this laxative is not difficult to solve.
However, the goose was pecked by the geese, which is always a bit embarrassing.
What is the way?
Xia Wenjin thought about it carefully, Huang Zheng was about to drink wine, but he suddenly slapped the table and alarmed Xiao Er, did he do it on purpose? Does he know there's something wrong with the wine? So, he took advantage of Xiao Er's coming over and turned his back to switch the wine glasses of the two?
It's careless, it's careless!
If she was careful, she would be able to detect the difference in wine, but at that time, it was only a moment, and she was also deceived by Huang Zheng's expression.
This seemingly pampered son-in-law surnamed Huang is not very easy to deal with.
Xia Wenjin came out of the thatched house, called Xiao Er, and gave some orders, but Xiao Er nodded again and again.
