Chapter 214: Four hundred taels
Regarding Yu Wanning's attitude, Yu Shaoting was not annoyed, waved his hand, and jumped out of the carriage with a smile.
Yu Wanning glanced through the crack in the curtain of the car again, and saw that Yu Shaoting and Xu Moran were about to leave with their shoulders hooked again.
Xu Moran also turned his head and glanced at Yu Wanning's carriage, but he happened to meet Yu Wanning's eyes in the crack of the curtain, and he was startled, and he turned around and ran away with Yu Shaoting.
I can't tell why, Xu Moran was actually a little stunned of Yu Wanning, originally saw Yu Wanning in Yu Mansion last year, and at that time I only felt that she was a coveted little beauty, but later I learned that she was still young, and she was Yu Shaoting's sister-in-law.
Even because she had a fight with Yu Shaoting, Xu Moran had never met Yu Wanning head-on, but when he saw her, he was still inexplicably weak-hearted.
When I returned to the General's Mansion, I saw Mrs. Yu sitting in her room drinking tea, waiting for her to come back.
"Why did A-Niang come over at this hour? If there is anything, let Rongxiang and them pass a message to their daughter, and I will go to the middle court to see you. ”
Yu Wanning said while untying his cloak through the snow mirror.
"You have been busy studying for the Double Ninth Festival competition these days, and even the meals are used in your own room, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, you and I, but it is rare to see you all day long."
Mrs. Yu said angrily: "So if I have something to do today, I have to come to you in person to wait." ”
"A-Niang is really, even her daughter has started to joke."
Yu Wanning sneered: "My daughter is no matter how busy and tired she is, if A-Niang wants to see her, she will naturally put down everything at hand and go immediately, where do you dare to wait here when A-Niang?" ”
"That's it, I'm not kidding you."
Mrs. Yu took matters into her own hands, opened the soup on the table and said, "You have to take care of the housework, you also have to study, you have to work hard, and now you are busy preparing for the Double Ninth Festival competition, and you are growing up again, this time you will come back, probably already hungry?" Today, A-Niang accompanies you to have dinner in your house, and you drink soup first, which will bring the meal over. ”
"Ah, that's a good idea."
Yu Wanning was very happy to hear that Mrs. Yu was going to have dinner with her in her room today, so she cleaned her hands in the warm water brought by Mo Li, and then sat down and picked up a spoon and took a sip of soup.
Then he sighed with satisfaction: "After a busy day, I have soup to drink when I go home, it's so comfortable." ”
"You......"
Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Wanning's appearance, first sighed, and then couldn't help laughing: "Originally, A-Niang thought that you have a daughter's family, you know a few words, can read poems and songs, and then can take care of the accounts of the inner house, and girls can't enter the office, why bother so hard to have to be both civil and military, but now, looking at you and those talents of the country, A-Niang thinks it's also very good, whether you win or lose, you have fought for a face for women in this world." ”
"Thank you A-Niang for the compliment." Yu Wanning smiled mischievously and blinked.
"Oh yes......"
Mrs. Yu remembered something again, so she turned her head and instructed Rong Xiang, who was putting dinner on the table, "Do you want to go to the dining hall to take a look, I am not there today, you and Mama Li will take care of Shaoting and Shaoyuan Wanyao and their three children to eat, and let Lianxiang serve here." ”
Rong Xiang answered, and just as she was about to retreat, she was stopped by Yu Wanning.
"You don't have to go."
Yu Wanning said to Mrs. Yu: "My father hasn't come back yet, you are here to accompany me, today's dining hall will also have dinner with the second sister and Shaoyuan, it is enough to have Mama Li take care of it alone, there is no need for Rongxiang to go now, as for my eldest brother, he is dining with his fox friends and dogs outside today, and he will not go back to the house for dinner." ”
"Huh? How do you know? Mrs. Yu asked puzzled.
"Of course I know."
Yu Wanning took the chopsticks handed over by Mo Li's hands, took a piece of fish meat and said: "On the way back from school, I met my eldest brother and asked him, A-Niang, what do you think my eldest brother did with you for two hundred taels of silver today?" ”
Mrs. Yu thought for a while and said, "Your eldest brother...... He told me that he wanted to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so I gave it to him. ”
"Ouch, my aunt......"
Yu Wanning said helplessly: "My eldest brother has always been the most unfocused person to put his mind on schoolwork, you believe him when he says this, and even if he buys the best paper and ink, he doesn't need so much silver, you don't know, but I know what he did with that silver?" ”
"What did he do?" Madame Yu asked suspiciously.
"He took it to the gambling house to bet, and bet on the 99 Double Yang competition, and the students of Guozijian won." Yu Wanning replied.
"This kid ......"
When Mrs. Yu heard this, she said a little angrily: "One is wrong to gamble, and the other is to bet on this kind of thing, as your brother, why don't he bet on you to win?" It's really unbelievable, that is, if you really lose that amount of silver, is it difficult for our General's Mansion to still be rare for those two hundred taels of silver? ”
Yu Wanning: "......"
Co-authored, even A-Niang felt that she was doomed.
So he silently rolled his eyes, lowered his head and didn't speak.
After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she felt that she was speechless, so she looked at Yu Wanning with some embarrassment and said: "Ah Ning, don't worry, Ah Niang will call someone to go to the gambling house in a while, invest it in four hundred taels of silver, bet on you to win, and give you these girls a strong momentum, although our general's mansion is not rich compared to the noble family next to it, but these silver can still be taken out." ”
"That's pretty much it."
As soon as Yu Wanning heard that A-Niang was twice as big as Yu Shaoting, she knew that Mrs. Yu was angry with Yu Shaoting.
So he smiled and said: "A-Niang, don't worry, the gambling house is opening a handicap with a loss of 100, and this time, my daughter will definitely let you win a lot of money back." ”
"Then A-Niang will thank A-Ning first."
Mrs. Yu couldn't help laughing when she heard Yu Wanning's words, although she said this, she still didn't think that she would win.
How could Yu Wanning not hear it, but she didn't say anything more, she knew that saying it ten thousand times was not as convincing as winning it once.
"Okay, Auntie, let's eat." Yu Wanning said, and served a bowl of soup to Mrs. Yu.
After dinner, Mrs. Yu instructed Yu Wanning to let her rest early and pay attention to her body, before returning to the middle courtyard with confidence.
As soon as Mrs. Yu left, Yu Wanning raised her hand to beckon Mo Li to her, and whispered to her: "After school ends tomorrow, you go to Zhao Qi in person and tell him to let him go to the gambling house to invest three thousand taels, and bet on our students under the Fu'an Eldest Princess's Mansion to win." ”
"Little ...... Miss, are you betting so much? ”
Rao is a steady pear, when he heard that Yu Wanning was going to invest three thousand taels, he couldn't help but be startled, and he was almost choked with saliva.
