58. Bet

Jiang Erlang seemed to be very accustomed to Mrs. Li's respectful posture, and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to be like this, you are an elder, this time my two brothers are just relatives, you just treat me as my own son and nephew." ”

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, and said to the daughters: "This is a distant relative of my family, surnamed Jiang, the second line in the family, everyone calls him Erlang." ”

The ladies politely agreed, "Yes, yes." ”

But in my heart, I am like a mirror, if only distant relatives can use such caution and respect? Besides, the conversation between the two of you just now, we didn't see or hear it.

Jiang is a national surname.

It can't be a child of the clan.

However, the ladies present are all official wives, and the things that are hidden for His Holiness are all experienced and seen, and it is clear that they don't want to expose their true identities, so naturally they will not deliberately ask questions, and they all know it.

Just at this time, a gong sounded on the field, and the game was over.

The ladies hurriedly asked the result, and the maidservants answered who won and lost, and who could give the lottery.

Li Xiaoqi said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, Erlang and I promised our friends that we would play next, and we have to prepare." ”

Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised: "Are you going to end?" Okay, well, then I'll have to watch this one. ”

The ladies also clapped their hands and encouraged.

"It's up to Shichiro this time."

Jiang Erlang said to Mrs. Li: "Please also ask Mrs. to take care of Shu'er." ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shu'er will follow me, I will definitely take good care of him." ”

Jiang Erlang smiled and touched Shu'er's head.

Shu'er frowned, pulled his hand away, and said in disgust: "I, I'm not, three or three years old, a child......"

The ladies were taken aback, such a delicate and lovely child turned out to be a stammer?

Shu'er noticed their surprise, and although she had been mentally prepared, she still pursed her lips, showing a hint of stubbornness on her face.

Jiang Erlang patted him on the shoulder, and then walked out of the color shed side by side with Li Xiaoqi.

After a while, everyone on the polo field knew that Li Xiaoqi was going to play, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and the young ladies all gathered on the railing in order to watch Qilang's peerless style of playing polo up close.

The young men who had good things shouted that they wanted to bet and bet, and they would bet on Li Xiaoqi's win or loss.

Meng Qingyun has been in this era for so long, and she has already learned that people are good at gambling, gambling on chess, cockfighting, and fighting crickets are common, and gambling is not uncommon - it is really an era with a rich spiritual life, no less than her previous life.

The handicap in the aristocratic gathering, naturally not to gamble too much, small gambling pleasure, the young gentlemen in the first color shed at the beginning, out of five taels of silver, bet Li Xiaoqi to win.

Other color sheds immediately followed the trend to bet, where there are more girls in the color shed, they are actually gambling to win, all the way superimposed, the gambling money quickly accumulated to thirty taels of silver.

Mrs. Li was not only not annoyed that her son was taken as a bet object by everyone, but also joined in the fun, called two small servants, each of whom held a plate painted with black lacquer and gold, and collected the gambling money from one shed to another, and she herself also placed five taels of silver.

Gambling and losing - worthy of being a mother.

The two little guys received Feng Zhenzhen's color shed all the way, Feng Zhenzhen didn't bring money, reached out and pulled out a golden hairpin and put it on the plate, which was also a bet on Li Xiaoqi to win.

Bai Xiuqing lay on the railing next door and sneered: "Nine out of ten people buy and win, and you still buy it, even if you win the bet, how much money can you win?" ”

Feng Zhenzhen slanted at the corner of her eyes: "If you want to win big, then you buy or lose?" ”

Bai Xiuqing was not convinced: "Why should I buy and lose, of course Qilang won't lose." ”

Feng Zhenzhen pouted: "Then your previous sentence is nonsense." I also want to buy and win, and I am embarrassed to say it to others. ”

Bai Xiuqing was so gambled that she had nothing to say, and her cheeks were bulging.

At this time, a hand stretched out next to her and put a silver ticket of ten taels on the plate, which was actually a buy or lose.

Bai Xiuqing and Feng Zhenzhen both glared at the owner of this hand in surprise.

Meng Qingyun looked reasonable: "Since it's a bet, it's naturally the most cost-effective to be small and big." She pointed to the plate in the hands of the two little guys, "I estimated that there are about fifty taels of winning in the purchase, but only five taels of buying and losing, I will go down to ten taels, if the bet is right, I can win back thirty taels of silver, two hundred percent of the profit!" ”

She said and looked at Bai Xiuqing with disgust: "If you are still the richest girl in Jiangnan, this account will not be counted." ”

Bai Xiuqing retorted: "But how could Shichiro lose? ”

Meng Qingyun: "Does the competition depend on face?" ”

Bai Xiuqing crossed his hands on his hips: "We Qilang can win without relying on his face!" ”

Feng Zhenzhen also crossed her hands on her hips: "That's right!" We Shichiro are the best in everything! You're doomed! ”

"That's it."

A group of girls are all crossed and stand on the united front against Meng Qingyun.

At this time, the teams of both sides who were ready to leave the field had already changed their clothes and equipment, and rode past the colorful shed on horseback. The factions are distinguished by the ties on each person's bun, with one side wearing a red headband and the other wearing a cyan headband.

Li Xiaoqi belongs to the red team, and Jiang Erlang is the green team.

Meng Qingyun beckoned to Li Xiaoqi and shouted, "Li Xiaoqi, come here!" ”

Bai Xiuqing, Feng Zhenzhen and the other girls were all startled and accused: "Why are you so rude? ”

However, Li Xiaoqi is not only good-looking, but also has a really gentle personality, and he obediently rode a horse and came over with a well-behaved face.

"Miss Meng, is there something wrong with me?"

Meng Qingyun leaned on the railing and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you owe me a favor and can pay it back at any time?" In this way, I made a bet, buy you to lose, you let me bet to win, even if you return the favor, okay? ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaoqi was a little stunned, raised his hand and scratched it behind his ear, looking cute.

But the girls were all blown up.

"Despicable!"

"How can you blackmail us Shichiro?"

"It's too much!"

Even Bai Xiuqing pulled her sleeves: "This is not good." He turned his head and said to Li Xiaoqi, "Qilang, don't listen to her, she is joking." ”

Meng Qingyun teased her: "You just protect him like this?" ”

Bai Xiuqing was a little shy, pushed her unrelentingly, and quietly glanced at Li Xiaoqi out of the corner of her eye.

Li Xiaoqi still thought about it seriously for a while before saying: "Although it is just fun, this is not my own game, but it is related to the victory or defeat of the entire team." Girl's request, please forgive me for being difficult to obey. Can you change the way to return the favor? ”

The girls were very impressed and admired.

"Our Shichiro is really a righteous gentleman."

"That's right, upright and humble."

"How can there be such a good Langjun in the world!"

Jiang Erlang, who had a cyan hairband on his head, came over on a horse.

"The girl is really different, if you want to win the bet, what's the use of asking Shichiro, you should come and ask me!"
