Chapter 254: Betting
By the time the three of them settled down, it was already two days later.
The family bought two maids, two girls, the maids are responsible for guarding the door, doing some errands, and the girls are responsible for sprinkling and cleaning, and they also have to give Wang Xiao a hand, cooking or something, but they are also busy.
On the contrary, Wang Xiao is idle, and in addition to the time for cooking, he can also do a lot of other things.
In the beginning, she could read a book, draw a picture or something, and kill time.
But after a few days, she got bored.
Li Bao hides in the room to read books on weekdays, and her father often goes out to run errands, and when he goes out, it is a whole day, except for the time to eat, he can't speak at all.
Thinking that there was nothing to do at home anyway, Wang Xiao planned to go out for a walk.
Li Baoping was not at ease: "In a place like Shangjing, if you go out and meet someone casually, you may be a relative of the emperor, I am afraid that those people will look down on people and bully you!" ”
"Who am I, and can I still be bullied? Just just hang out and don't worry about it. ”
Seeing that he couldn't say anything about her, Li Baoping said: "Forget it, anyway, I've almost read my book, I'll go with you!" ”
"Oh, you read your book, I'm not a child, how can I let you accompany me all the time, so let's take the two girls with me."
Li Baoping saw that she insisted, so he had to say: "If there is anything, let the girl come back and call me!" ”
Wang Xiao repeatedly promised that he would just go shopping casually and would never cause trouble, so he was able to go out.
Li Baoping looked at her cheerful back and only felt a headache.
I'm not afraid that she will take the initiative to cause trouble, but I'm afraid that I will trouble myself to find the door, and those people in the Wang family are not like this when they are in Lan Village, they often take the initiative to find fault with them.
But if Wang Xiao is an ordinary girl, she can't resist the people of the Wang family who are messing around.
After Wang Xiao went out of the door, he immediately noticed that there were more than twice as many people coming and going on the street as before.
Presumably because the scientific examination is about to take place, and the candidates have come to Beijing, there will be such a grand occasion!
There are more candidates, and there are more shops selling pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in Beijing, and they can earn a lot of money during this time.
Wang Xiao picked and chose along the way, but bought a lot of things, it seems that a woman's ability to spend money is innate.
She was about to go back here, but she found a large group of people gathered not far away, chattering about something.
She handed the girl what she was holding, ran over in a hurry, and squeezed into the crowd.
I saw a rather rough-looking man in the middle holding a sign in his hand and shouting: "Is there anyone else to bet on?" ”
The onlookers were also emotional: "What are the odds now?" ”
"Is it still Tang Xuanyi in Zhuzhou with the lowest odds, can you vote for someone who doesn't have you above?"
Wang Xiao looked curious, and turned his face to look at the person next to him: "What does this mean?" What are you all looking at? ”
The person next to him saw that a little girl from her also came to care about this, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this a fast scientific examination, the largest gambling house in Shanghai has set up a gambling game, betting on who will go to high school!" ”
"yes, who's there now?"
"Does the little girl know how to read, just look at the sign on it yourself!"
Wang Xiao turned his face to look at the sign on the stage, and saw that the names of several people were written on it, and Tang Xuanyi, who had the highest voice, had the lowest odds.
He is the most famous talent in Zhuzhou, and his reputation is very good, and it must be reasonable to be able to go high this time, and all the odds of buying him are very low.
On the contrary, the other odds are a little higher.
Seeing that Wang Xiao was interested, the people above couldn't help but say, "What's the matter, who does the little girl want to buy!" ”
"Of course, buy the highest odds!"
"The one with the highest odds is Lu Jiahao, but little girl, I advise you not to buy him, I heard that he just married his daughter-in-law before coming to Beijing, and now that the beauty is in his arms, I'm afraid he won't have any fighting spirit for a long time!"
Wang Xiao was speechless, this was even under consideration.
"Is there Li Baoping from Zhengyang Town?"
"There are too few people who buy him, there is no sign, but I remember in the book, you want to buy him?"
"What are his odds now?"
"One pays ten, no matter how much you spend, if he wins, we will pay you tenfold!"
"He was admitted to Xiucai in his early years, and he was admitted at the first time, why didn't anyone buy him?"
"We don't know about these, and we haven't inquired about them, in short, no one buys him, if you want to buy it, buy it quickly, if you don't buy it, leave quickly, don't delay others to make money."
Wang Xiao counted the silver in his hand, and said very proudly: "I'll buy him, five thousand taels!" ”
The people around gasped: "Little girl, don't buy it indiscriminately, he will definitely not be able to win, your five thousand taels are considered to be a waste." ”
"Is this Li Baoping your family, you don't need to waste money so much in order to support the scene for your family!"
"Or do you know the inside story, tell us about it!"
……
Wang Xiao accepted the bills from the gambling house, handed over the silver, and left with a smile.
The two girls followed her and asked her, "Is the girl so sure that Little Master Li can go to high school, and she invested so much money in it." ”
"I don't know if I can win it, but I'm happy to buy him anyway!"
A few people went back while talking.
It's just that there are too many people on the street, and a few people are holding things in their hands, and the left and right bags are walking very slowly.
At this moment, a figure quickly swept past her and squeezed forward.
Then came a scream: "Catch the thief!" ”
This scream came from her maid's hair, almost subconsciously, and she chased after her.
I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and I dared to steal something from her.
Since Wang Xiao came here, he has either studied skin care or dealt with medicinal materials, not because he was distressed at this time, but because he felt a little stimulated.
After chasing the thief to a secluded place, he lost it, and Wang ** had to squat on the side of the road, panting heavily.
But at this time, she heard a strange voice coming from the street next door, which was separated by a wall.
Originally, she didn't plan to listen to it, but this voice was too familiar to her, and if she didn't listen to what the other party was doing, she would be curious to death when she went back.
"That's what you're talking about?"
"Shhhh
"It's so expensive, can't it be cheaper, you know ......"
"You don't want more than others, you don't want to think about it, others have exam questions but you don't, how can you take the test with others!"
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows, there were actually people who sold exam questions before the scientific examination, and it was only one hundred taels, should it be so cheap!
How many students have studied hard for ten years, just for today, if they knew that they could buy exam questions for 100 taels, would they vomit to death?
