Chapter 365: Ten Thousand Taels of Gold
Xiao Yulin snorted again and asked everyone to sit down and talk.
There was a stone table in the middle of the pavilion, equipped with four long stone benches, and Xiao Yulin pulled Zhong Yuqi to sit beside him.
Xiao Yulin gently patted Zhong Yuqi's back again, and said with a smile: "The princess has worked hard all the way, this king will give you a beating on the back!" ”
Xiao Yulin slapped like this, even if it was not very strong, Zhong Yuqi felt very uncomfortable in her heart, just like motion sickness, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her heart.
Seeing this, Xiao Yulin asked with concern, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”
Qiu Shi said: "When I went up the mountain just now, the sedan chair was in a panic, and it was very uncomfortable to call the princess. Therefore, the princess came by foot just now. ”
Xiao Yulin said unhappily: "How did those people carry the sedan chair?" Why did you make the sedan chair so bumpy? ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "It's a mountain road, how can it not be bumpy? Lord, don't shoot me anymore. If I shoot again, I'm afraid I'll have to ......."
Thinking of something, Zhong Yuqi didn't say any more about what he said.
Xiao Yulin still asked with concern: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhong Yuqi came back to her senses and said, "Oh! I'm going to feel even more uncomfortable! Let me take my time for a moment! ”
"Oh!"
Xiao Yulin withdrew his hand.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the western shore, followed by a roar of gongs and drums. It seems that the dragon boat race is about to begin.
Xiao Yulin saw that there was something that could distract Zhong Yuqi's attention, and he was overjoyed and said, "The dragon boat race is about to start!" Ma Liu, which one is our ship? ”
Ma Liu said with a smile: "Dragon boat, dragon boat, naturally there must be dragons!" How many people can use dragons today? The boat with the big dragon head standing on the bow is our Ruiwang's mansion. ”
When everyone looked up, they could see that there was a dragon head in the boat in the middle of the many dragon boats, and the other dragon boats were only depicted with dragon patterns on the hull, or the six-legged kind.
Xiao Yulin said to Xiao Ziteng: "Did the prince buy a dragon boat?" ”
Xiao Ziteng shook his head and said, "No! The nephew didn't think about coming to see the dragon boat race, but the emperor's uncle asked the nephew to come, and the nephew came, so naturally he didn't buy the dragon boat. ”
Xiao Yulin glanced at Xiao Ziteng with disdain, and said, "As the crown prince, you are about to get married again, why don't you buy a boat to make yourself happy?" ”
Xiao Ziteng was speechless in embarrassment.
Xiao Yulin asked Huo Siru again: "Does Miss Huo's house buy a boat?" ”
Huo Siru replied: "Yes! The boat with a tiger's head on the bow is. ”
Xiao Yulin said: "That's good! Let's take a gamble and see whose boat arrives first. The prince is about to marry Miss Huo, so the prince bets on the side of Huo's mansion. The bet is ten thousand taels, gold. ”
Xiao Ziteng was so shocked that he almost didn't sit still, and said, "Huh? Ten thousand taels of silver, my nephew can get it. These 10,000 taels of gold...... The nephew is not like the emperor's uncle, the house is so rich! ”
Xiao Yulin glanced at Xiao Ziteng with disdain again and said, "As the crown prince, don't you even have this money?" This king doesn't believe it! Or did you give the Huo family a heavy dowry, so that you have no money now? ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Even if you give the Huo family a dowry, you don't need 10,000 taels of gold!" ”
Xiao Yulin shouted: "Why don't you want to think about it, if you win, you can win this king ten thousand taels of gold?" Don't say that you don't have 10,000 taels of gold in the prince's mansion, this king doesn't believe it! Otherwise, go back to your house and check the accounts!" ”
Xiao Ziteng was embarrassed for a while, and did not accept Xiao Yulin.
The sound of gongs and drums in the west is more intense, and it will not be long before the dragon boats will be dispatched.
Xiao Yulin urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up! The boat is about to move! ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Lord, the prince has a pure temperament and doesn't like to be such a gambler, so why do you force him?" ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Those who are afraid and cowering, who seem to be people who have achieved great things? In the future, if he encounters more difficult things, will he also be as timid as he is today? ”
After saying something, Xiao Ziteng nodded and said, "Hmm! Uncle Huang is right! Okay, just bet 10,000 taels of gold! ”
Xiao Yulin said to Huo Siru again: "Miss Huo, is it difficult to have 10,000 taels of gold? ”
Huo Siru smiled lightly and said, "Huo Mansion can take it." It's just that today it is only the personal actions of the courtiers, and it is inconvenient to involve Huo Mansion. With the private money of the courtiers, they can only get 10,000 taels of silver. As for winning or losing, it depends on the luck of the little girl. ”
Xiao Yulin looked at Xiao Ziteng with disdain and said, "Look at you!" All women are more atmospheric than you! ”
Xiao Ziteng's face was full of resentment, and said: "People are women, you can rely on your skin when the time comes!" Besides, it's just silver. Is the nephew a man or a prince, can the nephew rely on it when the time comes? ”
Huo Siru said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's words, the courtiers can't understand it. Who said that if a woman loses, she will be relied? In the end, losing is also losing to Lord Rui, and the courtiers can afford to lose! ”
Xiao Yulin echoed: "That's it! It's still Miss Huo bold! ”
At this moment, Xiao Ziteng was dissatisfied, stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said, "Hasn't this prince already bet 10,000 taels of gold?" ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Oh! Be! Be! Be! The prince has already placed a bet. Well, the prince and Miss Huo are both bets of 10,000 taels of gold, if this king loses, it will be a loss of 20,000 taels. Good luck to this king! ”
The horn sounded, the rowers roared, and more than a dozen dragon boats rushed out like arrows from the string, and the spectators around were cheering for them.
For a time, the shouts, gongs and drums, and the sound of the rowers' horns resounded in the sky.
With just a cup of tea, the dragon boats arrived on the shore one after another.
It can be seen that the dragon boat with the tiger in the bow of the boat arrived at the shore first, and the dragon boat with the dragon head on the bow is a little slower.
Xiao Yulin couldn't help but slap the table and sighed: "Oops! It's just a little bit close! ”
Xiao Ziteng jumped up happily and said, "Uncle Huang! Uncle Huang! It's the nephew who wins! ”
Xiao Yulin glared at Xiao Ziteng very unhappily and said, "Hmph! Knowing that you have won, this king will not rely on your money! ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "It's gold!" ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Gold is gold, this king still misses you?" ”
Huo Siru said with a smile: "The courtier's is the silver." ”
Xiao Yulin shook his hand impatiently and said, "No matter gold or silver, this king will not be missing you!" In a few days at most, the king will send gold and silver to your house. Ah! It's really boring, this king is going back to his house to rest! In the evening, there is a night banquet in the palace! ”
After speaking, Xiao Yulin pulled Zhong Yuqi over, turned around and left.
