Chapter 330: A Gamble, Three Giants
Zhao's face was red and white, she had long known that Xia Jinse's words were ugly, but for the sake of silver, she had to come.
"Then don't mention the Zhao family, for the sake of your mother and your father's face." The Zhao family endured desperately, calmed down for a long time before his mood stabilized, and said stupidly: "Jin Se, let me ask you, you give me an explanation, which son does the Wushuang County Lord like?" ”
Xia Jinse looked at Zhao's cheeky and shameless appearance, and hooked his lips indifferently: "Mother has to ask this, I'm afraid I want to go to the gambling house to bet if I want to know the answer, and make a lot of money?!" ”
Being directly pierced, Zhao was somewhat uncomfortable, but thinking about it, instead of making an excuse to be ridiculed by Xia Jinse, it was better to say it directly.
She sneered: "It's not that I want to make a lot of money, it's just that Jinse, you also know, there has been talk about this everywhere in the capital recently, and the people who bet are crazy." I also want to earn a few pieces of money for my own money, so I can save for your sister's dowry. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chaiyun laughed and said, "Isn't it ridiculous that the eldest lady wants to save a dowry for her daughter, but she came to my princess to inquire about the privacy of the county lord?" Making money depends on ability, and I have never heard of anyone who can make a fortune by gambling money. ”
Shoot the moon and make up for the knife: "Ten bets and nine losses!" ”
Xia Jinse responded lightly: "Chasing the clouds and shooting the moon is right, my mother still thinks clearly." ”
was taught a lesson by the two girls, Zhao only felt that his face was hot, and he regretted that he shouldn't have come today. She guessed that Xia Jinse wouldn't tell her, but why was she delusional for a while?
I couldn't stand it anymore, Zhao was ashamed that he couldn't sit still anymore, and reluctantly dropped a face-saving word, and wanted to leave: "Sure enough, it's the water spilled by the married daughter, and she won't take care of her parents anymore when she leaves her parents' house." But filial piety comes first, and the princess should also think about the reputation of the princess when doing things, if the world knows that the princess doesn't even care about her parents......"
"Okay, my mother said so much, didn't she just want to know who Wushuang was going to marry?"
Suddenly changed his mind, Xia Jinse said meaningfully: "It's inconvenient for me to talk about Wushuang's privacy. But what I can tell my mother is that among the several suitors, there is indeed a son-in-law candidate who is the favorite of the Marquis and his wife. ”
Since the Zhao family has to enter the pit, then she will satisfy the Zhao family's wish.
Zhao wanted to leave with a sigh of resentment, but she didn't expect Xia Jinse to change her words before leaving, and she suddenly asked eagerly, "Who is that?" Is it the Nan Gongzi of the Guogong Mansion, or the Hou Gongzi of the Hou Shilang family or someone else? ”
Xia Jinse's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer directly, but picked up the teacup and gently dialed the tea: "Yesterday's small banquet in the Hou Mansion, something happened. The county lord almost had an accident when he fell into the water, and at the critical time, Nan Gongzi of the Guogong Mansion stepped forward and jumped into the lake to save the county lord......"
Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, but after waiting for a long time, Xia Jinse didn't continue.
"And then?" Zhao became more and more anxious, and secretly felt that he had guessed a few points.
And then ...... The county lord was rescued safely! ”
Xia Jinse blew the tea, took a sip and put down the cup, "I think this matter has already spread, I won't say anything superfluous, if my mother doesn't believe it, you can go out and inquire." ”
Zhao's heart was warm when he heard it, it turned out that such a thing happened yesterday!
She has no friendship with the Hou Mansion, and some of the ladies she knows have not had a small gathering recently, so naturally there is no way to know the news. Unexpectedly, the Wushuang County Lord was actually saved by the Nan Gongzi of the Guogong Mansion, in order to repay the grace of saving her life, wouldn't she be able to make a personal promise?!
Zhao was excited, in broad daylight, the county lord was rescued by Nan Gongzi wet, and he had seen everything and touched everything, what else could he do except marry him? What's more, Nan Gongzi was one of the suitors, and it was natural for the county lord to marry him.
"I see!"
Zhao Shiyue finally knew the answer, and hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Jinse, "Since this is the case, then mother thank you, Jinse!" I still have something to do, so I won't stay long, and I'll come to see you next time. ”
After speaking, she hurriedly left with the girl.
Looking at the back of the Zhao family leaving in a hurry, chasing the clouds and shooting the moon glanced at each other, secretly amused.
This kind of shameless and thick-skinned woman really got into the eyes of money, and she deserves to be fooled!
Finally got rid of the Zhao family, Xia Jinse relaxed his muscles, stretched his waist, and as soon as he stood up, he saw the housekeeper Uncle He coming in with a young man, it was Ji Xiao who she had been waiting for for a while.
"Princess, Young Master Ji Biao is here." Uncle He said respectfully.
The princess said hello, if Young Master Ji Biao comes in the future, there is no need to pass it on, just bring it in.
"Cousin, I knew you were almost here." Xia Jinse secretly said that he had guessed correctly, asked Ji Xiao to sit down, and let people serve tea by the way.
Ji Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Cousin Xia, do you know I'm coming?" Uh, when I came in just now, I saw my cousin, and she came to look for my cousin too? ”
Xia Jinse said: "She came to ask Wushuang who she wanted to choose as her husband, and I told her." ”
Ji Xiao suddenly became nervous: "Ah...... So, who is that? ”
Since he mustered up the courage to propose to the Hou Mansion again, he has not slept peacefully for a day. Although he already had a bottom in his heart, he began to worry again after so many days of not receiving an answer. Even his mother Liu muttered a few times, is there another accident, the daughter of the Hou Mansion is really not easy to marry, let him die.
But these days, Ji Xiao found that he really couldn't let go of Ji Wushuang.
It's not because of her prominent status, nor because of her beautiful appearance, he can't even say what he thinks about Ji Wushuang. Every time before going to sleep, those anxious eyes would appear in front of him, full of worry, and he would pounce on him and hug him and cry 'I admit it, I will ......give it to you'
She cares about him, and for the sake of his life, she would rather die herself!
Looking at Ji Xiao's nervous appearance, Xia Jinse couldn't help but laugh: "Cousin Ji, you are asking this strangely, who else is there besides you?" Of course, what I told Zhao is definitely not like this, you don't have to worry about her, take care of yourself. ”
"Yes, yes......" Ji Xiao was ecstatic and smirked.
Xia Jinse also told Ji Xiao about yesterday's events by the way, Ji Xiao was furious when he heard it, someone actually made a ghost eye and robbed him of his daughter-in-law? Fortunately, Ji Wushuang was saved by Xia Jinse, and he was grateful to Xia Jinse again, and kept thanking him.
"I haven't married back yet, so I'm just maintaining it, Cousin Ji, shouldn't you become a wife slave after getting married?"
Ji Xiao grabbed his head and was embarrassed, his face flushed: "Cousin Xia, don't, don't say that, the matter hasn't been done yet!" In case of...... In case it doesn't work, it's not good for Miss Ji to say that. ”
Xia Jinse was just about to tell him the follow-up, but it happened that Lan Beichen came back at this time. Glancing at Ji Xiao, Lan Beichen sat next to Xia Jinse, as if he hadn't seen her for a moment when he went out, and he missed her tightly.
"Did you tell the emperor?" Xia Jinse handed over another cup of tea and asked him casually.
Ji Xiao became nervous all of a sudden, and only heard Lan Beichen say, "Say it." ”
He waited for Lan Beichen to say the result, whether he had received the emperor's marriage or not, and his heart was hanging.
Lan Beichen put down the cup, but asked instead of saying: "Jin Se, do you guess I went to tell the emperor about the marriage, who are I waiting for?" This person also came to tell the emperor about the marriage, about the marriage of the unequaled county lord of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion! ”
Xia Jinse was a little surprised, didn't they guess yesterday that the Duke of Nanguo might go to the emperor to mention the marriage?
She asked, "Isn't it Nanguo Gong?" ”
Lan Beichen's eyes darkened, and he said, "It's really not the Duke of Nanguo!" It was Lin Kangnian, the head of the household, who came to ask his youngest son Lin Runzhi to marry the unequaled county lord of the Xiaoyao Mansion! ”
Xia Jinse was extremely surprised when he heard it: "It turned out to be the book of the household?!" ”
Could it be that they all guessed wrong yesterday, the main messenger is not Nanguo Gong, but Lin Kangnian, the head of the household department!
His youngest son Lin Runzhi did propose marriage to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, but there was no news, and he was not very popular among several suitors. But because Lin Runzhi's father is a household scholar, his family background is really good, so he evaluated it and got a odds of one to five.
Ji Xiao was a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect so many people to rob his daughter-in-law with him!
is also a family background far beyond him!
Xia Jinse's eyes flashed, thinking about the problem, she and Lan Beichen had a split yesterday, and they didn't count this seemingly inconspicuous Lin Runzhi!
"Yesterday, Nan Duchi brothers and sisters designed, so we suspected Nan Guogong, but I didn't expect that it was Lin Shangshu who went to ask the emperor for marriage today. So, Nan Guogong didn't actually participate in this gamble, but if that's the case, why did Nan Duchi's brothers and sisters ......"
"The news of the Broken Star Detection, there is a new change in the betting outside."
Lan Beichen said: "When I first came back, Shattered Star said that someone in Rongxin Gambling House bet one million this morning and bought Lin Runzhi, and the person who bet was a relative of Guogong Mansion. ”
Like an initiation, Xia Jinse suddenly understood: "I understand, there are at least three forces involved in this gamble, the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, the Guogong Mansion and the Hubu Shangshu Lin Family!" The Xiaoyao Hou Mansion is responsible for letting go of the wind and guiding outsiders to place bets, and the Guogong Mansion is acting, and the Lin family cooperates, either the silver or the people, in short, they will not suffer! ”
"So cunning!"
Ji Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this, he didn't expect that a marriage would implicate the three giants.
After connecting all the information, Xia Jinse finally figured it out, the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion is responsible for releasing the wind to the outside world, and it must be the second or third uncle of Wushuang, and maybe even both rooms are involved. After all, they knew the movements of the Hou Mansion best, and it was easy to inquire about what to create and what news.
And the south of the Guogong Mansion naturally has people involved, yesterday Nan Duchi brothers and sisters worked hard to act, but I am afraid that they have already thought of two possibilities. If the rescue is successful, Ji Wushuang and Nan Duchi will be in close contact, and they are afraid that they will have to repay the grace of saving their lives with their bodies. In this case, someone in Lin Shangshu's Mansion will secretly bet on Nan Duchi.
If it fails, the Guogong Mansion will send someone to bet on Lin Runzhi, and still make a lot of money quietly.
In short, whether it is successful or not, the Guogong Mansion and the Hubu Shangshulin Mansion will not suffer.
Xia Jinse's eyes were bright, and he finally completely sorted out the back of this gamble: "It's really a good calculation, these people are camping all day long, and they really do everything for power and money." ”
"So, what now?" Ji Xiao's heart was already sinking like water.
He is a small sesame mung bean official of the criminal department, how can he win such two giants? No wonder his mother advised him to give up and not think so much. Is it really impossible?
Xia Jinse said at Lan Beichen Nunu: "Don't tease your cousin, let's talk about it, you mentioned the marriage to the emperor, what did the emperor say, and how did he reply to Lin Shangshu?" ”
Lan Beichen said: "I went early, and as soon as the emperor agreed, Lin Kangnian came." The emperor said that the Lin family and the Hou Mansion were right, which was indeed good, and asked him to go back and wait for the news, and the marriage would be given in three days. ”
Ji Xiao was disappointed: "Ah......"
Xia Jinse feigned: "Hey, Lan Beichen, can you speak directly?" Cousin Ji, what Lan Beichen means is that the emperor only said that the Lin family and the Hou Mansion were right, but he did not give marriage on the spot, so he disagreed. It's about you and Wushuang, Lan Beichen has already won it for you, wait for the marriage in three days! ”
