030 odds
Even though so many people are betting, there are very few imperial relatives, dignitaries, scholars and scholars who really support Zhang Yurong.
However, there are many small people and wealthy businessmen, seeing such high odds, many people can't help but have all kinds of speculative psychology.
The odds for the next day were as high as 1 to 30.
No one expected that on the morning of this day, Mrs. Zhang had a black face, holding her daughter's autographed power of attorney, and bet 30,000 taels of dowry silver for herself.
"Write my daughter's name, this is her own dowry, she believes in herself, as a daughter's mother, I also believe in my daughter!"
Mrs. Zhang's face couldn't be darker when she spoke.
"Okay, the little one will be written for Mrs., everyone has seen it, Zhang Yurong, personally bet 30,000 taels or 30,000 taels for herself!
There is still a move to bet fast, the odds are falling! ”
The counter staff of Tianxiatong roared like this, and countless onlookers became excited.
Followed by Jia businessmen, they followed in the footsteps of Mrs. Zhang and placed bets.
Among them, the Shen family is a grandson, the twenty-six-year-old Shen earns, and as soon as he makes a move, he bets 100,000 taels on Zhang Yurong to win.
He represents the thoughts of the small people of Jia Shang, Lord Zhang assigns the task by himself, and his daughter can't complete it, can he still count?
Even Mrs. Zhang took out 30,000 taels of silver, can't she explain the situation?
Even if Lord Zhang releases the water himself, he will definitely be able to let his daughter pass.
How can a gambling house be compared with the Zhang family, which has stood for hundreds of years?
Mrs. Zhang had a cold face, took the receipt of the bet and turned her head and left!
In the East Palace over there, the grandson Zhu Yunwen stood outside his father's study with a look of embarrassment.
He just found out about the gamble set up by Tianxiatong for the Zhang family's daughter-in-law.
It turned out to be such a gamble opened by his father's subordinates privately, didn't this offend the Chen family and the Zhang family?
But my father's health is not very good, and after typhoid fever this spring, he has been procrastinating and not refreshing.
He really wanted to go into the study and talk to his father and ask him not to do this, but he was afraid that his father would not know at all, or even if his father knew, his body would not be stimulated by his own son's doubts.
"Grandson, the prince invites you in!"
When the grandson Zhu Yunwen was in trouble, the prince's close attendant took the initiative to invite him in.
As soon as the grandson entered, he saw his father lying on his back, his face flushed, and the smell of medicine in the house was very strong, I was afraid that his father had just taken medicine.
"Sit down, my father knows that you have been out for a while, are you so embarrassed about the gambling game in the world?"
The crown prince Zhu Biao looked at his eldest son with loving eyes, his body was not good, he could not be filial to his father, and he could not teach his grandson.
He also accepted the advice of the people below when he learned that Qin Tianjian said that the snow disaster would be very serious this winter.
Before the snow disaster comes, it is best to prepare for a rainy day.
Almost all of the richest people in the Ming Dynasty are concentrated in Kyoto.
You can't directly rob these rich people of their money, and you can't let these people donate before the snow disaster, and you can't easily increase it.
But the silver of the household, and even the silver of the father's inner treasury, has always been tight, and there are aliens outside.
Especially when foreigners encounter snow disasters, they will also plunder wildly, which will be even worse for the Ming Dynasty.
He followed the advice of his subordinates, took advantage of the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, gathered money, and vented his anger to his daughter by the way.
His Minde, who had a hard life, fell in love with three scholars in a row, but they were all rejected.
In the end, it was Chen Mingdong's Tanhua who was rejected.
But my daughter's favorite is also that Tanhua, and my daughter married unexpectedly, who knew that the county horse would be gone after two years of marriage.
The daughter has always been depressed, and he, as a father, can neither rob her of her favorite husband, nor can he always protect her.
I just want to give her an outlet in the only days I have, bully and bully Chen Mingdong and his wife, and make her smile.
In addition, the money earned by Tianxiatong this time will be handed over to his father in person.
Even if his father would punish him, he finally did something for the people of the Ming Dynasty and sympathized with his father.
Even if your reputation will be bad, but people are about to die, what are you afraid of having a bad reputation?
What's more, this bad reputation, after his death, will only make his father feel more sorry for his grandson!
The grandson nodded at his father with a bitter face, but he didn't say anything, he just looked at his father in confusion, thinking that his father must have a last resort, right?
"Do you know that the total betting funds of this gambling game are now betting, betting on the silver taels won by the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, and betting on the silver taels she lost?"
The crown prince Zhu Biao asked the grandson weakly.
"The amount of money won by betting on the daughter of the Zhang family reached 500,000 taels, and the bet on her lost reached 350,000 taels! The total funding is as high as four million taels.
Now the odds have dropped significantly to 1 to 3, but there are still people from far away who come from other places to place bets! ”
The grandson returned everything he knew to his father.
"This winter is going to be tough and requires a lot of silver. Not only does disaster relief require a lot of silver, but there is also a lot of money to deal with foreign soldiers.
In this gambling game, the father will look at the betting funds and let Zhang Yurong win or lose.
The Zhang family's personal face is small, and the country's life and death are big, and the Zhang family still has this awareness, so you don't need to worry about this. ”
After the prince said such a long sentence, he stopped and thought about the key for his son.
"Father, the book list set up by Lord Zhang, let alone three months, is three years, and it is difficult to complete it in general, if these book lists can be completed, the daughters of the Zhang family can be admitted to the Jinshi.
It is certain that she will lose, if she is allowed to win, can she only let Master Zhang release the water by herself, as for those who bet and lose, in desperation, I am afraid that they can only find the bad luck of the Zhang family.
It's just that this kind of result, Lord Zhang must also know, how can he be willing to accept such a consequence? ”
Taisun has always known that scholars value reputation, especially the Zhang family, a century-old family that inherits the family with courtesy, how can it not attach importance to reputation?
The grandson let his father rest for a while before he voiced his doubts.
"Two o'clock, one of his ladies is afraid that he already has the intention of releasing water, otherwise he will not bet 30,000 taels for Zhang Yurong.
Second, your father will hold out until three months later, and in the same state as your father, he will implore Lord Zhang for the sake of righteousness, and I think he can still understand his father's distress! ”
The grandson's eyes were full of tears in an instant, and what he was most afraid of hearing was what his father said these words.
"Don't cry, everyone has this day, and Father is no exception. If my father hadn't been at this time, he wouldn't have been like this.
In addition, remember your father's words, when one day you have the ability, you will appease the Zhang family, and perhaps the Chen family, for your father.
Your imperial grandfather protects his shortcomings, and he knows that his father does not like the Chen family and the Zhang family, and he will definitely find an opportunity to belittle them after his father leaves.
All you have to do is wait, wait for them to go through the hardships, and then take care of them, at that time, the Zhang family and the Chen family will be grateful to you and repay you with their lives. ”
