Chapter 33: Exploitation
"If you dare to bet on the Sansheng Pavilion, you are not afraid of bankruptcy?"
"I'm afraid, but instead of staying in the capital, it's better to take Sansheng Pavilion and gamble with you again!"
Zhu Mother-in-law's net worth is extremely thick, even if she loses Sansheng Pavilion, there are three or four such as Lingyin Building and Yihong Courtyard, and she takes the most valuable Sansheng Pavilion to bet, which is very tempting.
"You want to bet on Sansheng Pavilion?"
"Yes, do you dare to bet?"
Wang Niang saw the cold light flashing in Granny Zhu's eyes, which seemed to have a strong murderous intent, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and said secretly: "This bet is a private fight between me and Granny Zhu, if I die suddenly, what's the use of winning?" ”
At this moment, many thoughts passed through Wang Niang's heart.
"Well, in that case, I'll bet with you, but I have one condition!"
"On what terms?"
"In this bet, I want Sister Yingying and Granny Meng to witness together!"
"How to witness?"
"Make a note, sign and draw a pledge, and if you want to gamble with Sansheng Pavilion, you have to ask someone to witness it, and press the deed of Sansheng Pavilion, in case I win, you resell Sansheng Pavilion, who do I go to?"
Mother-in-law Zhu gritted her teeth and said: "You think I will rely on you, okay, I promise you, I want to see if your girl bought from the countryside can go shit luck again!"
At this time, there was a burst of firecrackers outside, wishing Miss Yue'er of the Frost Leaf Pavilion to win the little oiran.
At the end of the song, people are scattered.
Li Dahao, Sikong Fu and Gao Yanei left one after another.
Cao Gongzi still wanted to stay, but Ouyang Mu pulled him outside, Cao Gongzi looked at Yue'er meaningfully and said: "Don't worry, girl, please ask the kendo teacher to wrap it up on me, tomorrow morning, she will come to you!" ”
"Well, then please!"
Yue'er saluted Ouyang Mu and Cao Gongzi Yingying.
Just as Ouyang Mu turned around, Cao Gongzi suddenly smiled mischievously at Yue'er, and said with a sign language: "Remember, you owe me a favor." ”
When Yue'er was in the Baihua class, she dealt with all the three religions and nine streams, and she naturally understood some sign language, she didn't expect that Cao Gongzi would have to beg for her favors, so she suddenly felt unhappy in her heart, and replied in sign language: "I don't want your favor." ”
Cao Gongzi laughed, turned around and quickly caught up with Ouyang Mu.
When Murong Qi'er was about to go out, he turned around and cast a resentful look.
"The sword has no eyes, I hope that in ten days, you can still laugh like today!"
"I can't laugh and don't care, I hope my sister will cherish these ten days, ten days, it's not long, it's really short."
Murong Qi'er was so angry that she was going crazy, she was extremely unhappy today, not only could she not take out the carefully prepared dance, but even the calligraphy was lost to the layman, and the most annoying thing was that she was at the bottom of the competition of the little oiran, and she was afraid that she would be severely punished by Granny Zhu after she went back, thinking of Granny Zhu's means, her body trembled again.
At this moment, Sikong Fu and Gao Yanei had also left the Frost Leaf Pavilion and were riding forward on their horses.
"Sikong Gongzi, do you want to find someone to teach the surnamed Cao a lesson now?"
"Phew, you don't have a brain, you have a few heads, dare to trouble him!"
"He, who is he?"
Gao Yanei was scolded and confused.
"The picture he took out, you can't tell who wrote it with the inscription on it?"
"Who?"
"That's the word of the saint today, all over the world, to write the thin gold body to that extent, who else but his old man!"
"What does the holy word say?"
"Stupid, can't you guess his identity until now, calligraphy and painting idiot, he is the Nine Emperor Prince Zhaoju!"
"Nine Emperor Princes, how is it possible, he can come out casually?"
"Who said that he can't, His Royal Highness has his own residence, and besides, there is Ouyang Mu with him, who dares to care about him!"
"Impossible, right?"
"How is it impossible, Ouyang Mu's old guy is above the top, he doesn't care about his status like me, why does he take a fancy to a weak-crowned young man, and give him the opportunity to ask questions?"
Gao Yanei touched his head and said in a daze: "Could it be that he is really Zhaoju?" ”
"Why not, as soon as you make a move, you can take out Fan Kuan's three paintings, how many do you think there are, the Nine Emperors are obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and never participate in government affairs, haven't you heard of it?"
Gao Yanei pursed his lips and said: "It turned out to be him, what if you heard of it, this Nine Emperor Prince is a concubine, and he is not favored at all in front of the emperor, and now he is not even a prince, and he will be awarded a false title at most in the future, what is there to care about." ”
Sikong looked around, and saw that the entourage was still far behind him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You are looking for death, you dare to say such a rebellious word, no matter who you are, dare to sweep the majesty of the royal family, once you are denounced, the end will be extremely miserable!" ”
Gao Yanei snorted, noncommittal.
The sound of hooves was heard, and the two drifted apart.
In the afternoon of this day, there was an endless stream of people congratulating at the Frost Leaf Pavilion, and Yue'er heard the sound of firecrackers outside from time to time in Yiyue Tower, and felt a little irritable.
In the evening, Wang Niang set up a table of wine for Yue'er in the study of Yiyue Building.
Wang Niang wore a loose single jacket tonight, and a few plum plants were embroidered on the clothes, which looked quite casual.
After three glasses of wine, Wang Niang began to get slightly drunk, and there was a smile on her face, but her smile was very ugly, like crying and mourning.
"That mother-in-law Zhu, now Sansheng Pavilion doesn't know how to scold me, she hasn't lost so badly in Windy City!"
"Yes, Yue'er doesn't dare to embarrass her mother."
"During this time, the Frost Leaf Pavilion has been busy."
"How?"
"Because you get the little Oiran, there will be a lot of people who come to the door to challenge."
Yue'er was a little strange and said, "Why, who are they?" ”
"Most of them are eighteen guild halls, and they are not qualified to participate in the Oiran competition, so they can only challenge you later."
"Oh, can I not take on the challenge?"
"Of course you can, but they pay a lot of money."
"What do you mean?"
"Of course you have to push, in case you lose, it will hurt your value."
"Oh, then what if I lose the sword competition with Miss Murong ten days later?"
Wang Niang picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, and said hatefully: "I wish my mother-in-law to gamble with Sansheng Pavilion, she has already sent a note in the afternoon, so I will take this bet!" ”
Yue'er was taken aback and said, "Sansheng Pavilion is much more valuable than our Frost Leaf Pavilion, is she willing to make such a big bet?" ”
"Yes, because she lost today's little Oiran, if she doesn't gamble with Sansheng Pavilion, she can't stay in the capital."
Yue'er was silent, she understood that if she was at the bottom today, the end might be even worse.
Wang Niang poured another glass of wine and said: "Today you get the little oiran, my mother will save five thousand taels of silver for you first, if you win Murong Qi'er in ten days, you will sell the Sansheng Pavilion, and your mother will give you fifty percent, which will be your daily expenses, and when you leave the pavilion, it will be your own dowry!" ”
Yue'er couldn't imagine that the return of winning the little oiran was so high, so to speak, as long as she won, she didn't need Liu Erye to save her at all, no wonder some girls from poor families were willing to sell themselves in the Qinglou, but the threshold for a good Qinglou was extremely high, almost one in a million.
"Thank you for your love."
"Well, if you get the little Oiran this time, you will go out of the cabinet in the future, at least the starting price will be 10,000 taels, and when you meet a lover, it is possible to multiply it many times."
"Well, it's all up to the mother, Yue'er wants to ask, if the little Oiran is second or third, does he have any money?"
"Second, my mother will save 3,000 for you, and the third is 1,005, if you are at the bottom, you will have nothing."
"Sansheng Pavilion and Drunken Xiangju, are they the same?"
"yes, of course."
"By the way, mother, when will Yue'er be able to use the silver you gave me?"
"It's okay now, the girl in the building, all the expenses are earned by herself, and every day's expenses here, including the money spent on the teacher, must be deducted from here."
Yue'er sighed, she thought that Wang Niang was so generous, and gave her five thousand taels at once, it turned out to be a saying, it seems that five thousand taels of silver will not take long, maybe she will still owe ten thousand taels in two years, but Sansheng Pavilion sold more than 100,000 yuan, and Wang Niang promised to give her half, which is not a small number.
"I heard that Mother-in-law Zhu gave a lot, it was 10,000 taels, but she used Yahuan to count twenty taels a day, and my Frost Leaf Pavilion only had three taels, how could she exploit her daughter like this?"
