Chapter 65: The arrogance of the noble son
The crowd applauded.
"Brother Jing is amazing!" The short boy was bouncing outside the straw rope, clapping and cheering.
Jing Gongzi's face did not change, and he casually came out with a second one.
"Bellโ"
Cast it again.
Tang and Rou swallowed nervously.
Why is this Jing Gongzi's head so good? Isn't it going to be all ten?
Her younger siblings all came up behind her and grabbed the corners of her clothes, their little faces full of worry.
A moment later.
Ten sticks were neatly inserted into the crockpot, and none of them made a mistake.
From beginning to end, Jing Gongzi had an indifferent expression, and even the action of throwing the pot was careless, but he just went in all of them.
This is still the first person to cast ten in the pot throwing game stall so far!
"Gouache, gouache, gouache!"
The onlookers cheered and threw mocking glances at Tang and Rou.
After several people failed to throw pots and only got prizes such as straw sandals and robes, many people have questioned whether anyone can get gouache. They suspected that the little girl was deliberately cheating them of their money. Now they finally have the opportunity to see this little girl give away the gouache.
Tang and Rou took a deep breath and forced themselves to smile.
In the morning, she counted the circle and found that there were no pot throwers among the people. Even when this short boy threw the pot, she thought that this business could be done.
Who knows, kill the dark horse of Jing Gongzi halfway.
But it's okay, it's just a box of gouache. I have already earned a few taels of silver in the afternoon, even if I exclude the cost of gouache, I still earned a few taels of silver today.
"Willing to gamble and lose. This box of gouache will belong to Jing Gongzi! She brought him the gouache.
"Good!" The crowd erupted in cheers, praising her for acting uprightly and not breaking her promise.
Jing Gongzi motioned to the taciturn boy next to him to take it, and then stretched out his hand to the short boy.
The short man was inexplicable: "Huh? โ
"How much silver do you have?" When Jing Gongzi asked this, the narrow willow eyes looked at Tang and Rou.
Tang and Rou: "? "What do you mean?
The short man touched his purse and poured the broken silver inside into his palm: "Where we need to bring silver when we go out, we can pay it on credit in the store." I didn't bring much, I just spent a lot, and now I only have more than a hundred taels left. โ
Everyone: "......"
Jing Gongzi: "I'll return it to you when I go back to the mansion." โ
"Isn't it?!" After Tang Yourou figured out what Jing Gongzi thought, he took a step back and sneered, "It's not too early, the prize of the stall has been won by Gongzi, and the stall is about to be closed!" As she spoke, she began to clean up the linen on the floor.
The prizes are not enough, and naturally there are other things to supplement. But seeing that Jing Gongzi is like this, even honey may not be able to satisfy him, is it difficult for her to hold a bundle of grass and weave hundreds of grasshoppers for him?
However, the three companions stepped on the sackcloth and did not let her close the stall.
The short man said: "It's rare that Brother Jing wants to play, and you just accept this stall, how boring is that?" โ
Rapunzel said mildly: "It's still early, and there is no ox cart to sit on at this time, so it is better to continue to put it on." You don't want to earn this bright silver? โ
The taciturn son's tone was fierce: "No stalls are allowed!" โ
Tang & Rou: "......"
Shocked! You can even buy and sell strongly!
Jing Gongzi took the short boy's purse and handed it to her.
Tang Yourou looked at his hand that was so pale that he could see the blood vessels clearly, didn't take it, shook his head and said, "I don't have so many prizes for you!" If you put in all ten sticks, you can only have honey this time, and if the honey is gone, then you can only be given a coat and a straw hat...... If all this is delivered, I will have to hold a bundle of grass and weave grasshoppers for you. โ
Sure enough, Jing Gongzi was not satisfied, and said: "You just said that you can give me gouache if you cast ten sticks." โ
Tang Yourou was a little anxious: "Isn't that already gone!" โ
Jing Gongzi smiled lightly and looked at the onlookers: "What do you think?" โ
"You should give gouache!"
"Jing Gongzi is right! This stall has collected so much silver from us, and now because Jing Gongzi has thrown a pot and hit a hundred shots, he will regret it, where is there such a business? โ
"It's not...... This ......" Don and Rou were shocked.
She has seen the power of high-ranking officials and nobles to raise their arms and shout!
These people who came to throw pots were obviously here to take advantage, but now they are talking so loudly that they call her a profiteer.
"See?" Jing Gongzi stretched out his hand to hold the brim of his hat, showed a very dark smile, and handed the silver to Du Yin beside him.
The taciturn boy had a fierce look on his face, bypassed Tang and Rou, and stuffed the silver to Tang Dou'er: "Child, count clearly!" โ
Tang Douer was frightened and cried "wow". Tang Youniang hurriedly covered his mouth, took the silver tremblingly, and counted how many times the hundred taels could be thrown.
Tang and Rou squinted: "Does Jing Gongzi want me to go bankrupt?" โ
Jing Gongzi nodded: "It's easy to say." โ
Tang Yourou gritted his teeth: "I'm just a little girl, I don't know where I offended Jing Gongzi?" โ
Jing Gongzi smiled lightly, his voice was low, hoarse and magnetic, and said lazily: "I'm willing." โ
Every time he threw the pot, he hit every shot, and after a long time, the spectators felt too bored and dispersed. There were only a few little girls who were crazy about Jing Gongzi and a few people who looked like guards.
Tang Dou'er and Tang Youniang knelt on the side, crying silently.
Tang and Rou sat on the steps of the rouge shop with their cheeks rested.
"Tut-tut, that's pathetic." Aunt Mei didn't drive her away, stood behind her and said softly, picked up the abacus, "A box of gouache is more than two taels, forget it, I'll erase the odds for you." Even if you're two or two. These fifty taels are five hundred dollars, that is, one hundred and sixty-six. Every time it was all hit, it was three hundred and thirty-two taels of silver. Little girl, when are you going to give me so much silver? โ
Tang Yourou had a calm face and stared at Jing Gongzi, who was still tirelessly throwing pots.
What shit luck is this? How could you meet such a gentleman, and you can't get along with her.
What the hell happened to her?
She scolded angrily and in a low voice: "A sick seedling who doesn't dare to bask in the sun is so arrogant. He is five years older than me, and he will be six years older than me next month, and he even bullied a little peasant girl! Do you want to be ashamed?! โ
"What do you say?" Aunt Mei heard it, put down her abacus, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, "Big rebellious mud girl, how dare you say that?!" โ
"Boss, we really don't have any silver, more than three hundred taels, even if we are sold, we don't have so much silver...... Can you give you a few days, and then we will find a way to earn you money! Tang Youniang knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly with Aunt Mei.
The proprietress of Meixiang Pavilion helped Tang Youniang up and pulled the abacus: "Little girl, I see that your hands are very clean and your fingers are long, so it is better to come and work in my workshop." You can earn five cents a month, and you come with your sister, and that's ...... Let me do the math......"
