Chapter 453: The List
Liu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to the rumors outside, but there were always some rumors that reached her ears.
I heard that there are even underground gambling houses that open gambling, and there are eight or nine candidates for horses, and it is said that Li Zheng, who has the biggest chance of winning.
Li Zheng? What do those people think?
Okay, if you talk about appearance, it seems that Li Zheng can come out on top. And he not only has good looks, but also has good learning. Not only Li Zheng, but his cousin Li Kun is also on the list.
Does she have to pick and choose between other brothers? Who did those people think of her?
Wu Xiaohui came to the palace to talk to her, quietly took out a piece of notepaper from his sleeve, and secretly stuffed it for her.
"What is this?"
"I managed to get my hands on it, and they copied the names of the people."
Liu Yan opened it and saw that there were not only names on it, but also odds.
Liu Yan: ......
Liu Yan suddenly straightened his face: "You also went to bet?" ”
"No, no, no, I don't." Wu Xiaohui hurriedly confessed: "You don't know me, although I have money in my hand, but I want to use it but I am not free, two or three people are in charge of me, and all I can use in my hand is fat rouge money, monthly silver......
"So you didn't bet because you didn't have money, and if you had money, you would bet?"
Wu Xiaohui really had this thought.
But looking at Liu Yan's face, she also knew that she definitely couldn't admit it. Although Wu Xiaohui is more lacking in heart most of the time, she is so familiar with Liu Yan, she can still guess a few points of Liu Yan's thoughts.
"No, no, I won't bet if I have money." But Wu Xiaohui's voice changed: "But the person who copied the list said that this person who sits in the village is very reliable, not the kind that deceives people and runs away when he turns around." Yan'er, it's better for you to bet yourself, anyway, it's not allowed for others to say this, it must be based on your mind, you have to bet, and you can win a lot of money......" Seeing Liu Yan's face was not good, she swallowed back the following words.
"Alright, don't mention it." Liu Yan looked at the list again.
In the end, she could only choose one of the horses, but for the other people involved in the selection of horses, Liu Yan felt a little sorry for them.
Some of them deliberately want to think about Princess Shang, but there are also people who don't mean it at all, but they are tired for no reason, and they have to bear the fingers and fingers of others, and now they are still being used to bet on winning or losing, which is inevitable...... It's too contemptuous.
Okay, none of the people on this are mediocre, like her little brother's companion Brother Zheng didn't squeeze into the list this time.
The brothers' conditions are not too bad, but compared to the others on the list, they are much inferior.
There is also Lu Yi on the list.
I don't know why, seeing that Lu Yi's name is not at the top, and he is a little aggrieved and sandwiched in the midstream position that is not behind the half-front, Liu Yan suddenly laughed.
I don't know if Lu Yi knows about it, these candidates have been bet on, and his market is still very unfavorable.
Well, Lu Yi has a wide range of contacts and is well-informed, I'm afraid he already knew.
"Who is this banker?"
Wu Xiaohui hurriedly said: "I really don't know, this was copied by someone else." It is said that the odds above are still changing, and in a few days I heard that the emperor is going to hunt in Mingjingshan? Those noble sons are going to follow, this is a good time to be in the limelight, if you are outstanding in riding and archery and show your face in front of the emperor, then the odds on this list must be adjusted. Also, this is the test in the spring, but the apricot list has not been posted yet, you look at the people on this list, half of them are out of the field, and whoever goes to the department when the time comes, who falls first, must also change the odds. ”
Liu Yan was angry and funny: "You know the doorway inside." ”
Wu Xiaohui was shocked that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly made up: "I just heard about it, I heard about it." ”
I heard she can remember it so clearly?
Liu Yan knows her very well, and she also knows those who often surround her and want to get cheap.
"Is there someone who wants to inquire from you about the news, and what benefits are they promised to you?"
Wu Xiaohui was dumbfounded, Liu Yan's words stunned her like a blow to the head, and she forgot to even deny and explain.
As soon as he saw her like this, Liu Yan knew that he had guessed correctly.
Wu Xiaohui is always like this, her ears are very soft, others can coax her in a few words, and she can often use a little worthless little favor Xiaohui to make a big profit from her, and she doesn't feel that she has suffered a loss.
Just like the current incident, others think that she is the aunt and cousin of the fourth princess, and she is good friends with the princess, presumably she will be able to inquire about the candidate for the horse, probably promising her that if she wins the bet, she will definitely share the winnings with her.
Wu Xiaohui himself just said that he had leaked his mouth.
Although she has a lot of dowry, Mrs. Wu knows her daughter very well, and she can't use her dowry money herself, and she only has so much money to spend every month. At this time, someone suddenly came to the door and said that she wanted to share her money, and she didn't have to pay the capital and take risks, as long as she inquired about something and said a few words in the middle, she was not moved.
I have to say that Liu Yan has guessed the truth of the matter.
That's what Wu Xiaohui thinks.
In the past, Liu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Wu Xiaohui like this, but now she feels that this matter can't be let go so lightly.
Wu Xiaohui is not a child after all, she is already married, and in the future, she will be the housewife herself, take care of the family, manage the slaves, and socialize...... In the past, she was a girl in the boudoir, and she was not thoughtful, and when she got into trouble, someone would take her around, and others would not seriously care about her. Can it be done later?
She is so gullible and greedy for small profits, this time she is just here to inquire about the candidate for the pony, what if others ask her to do other things in the future? She is likely to be used by others to do evil, and when the time comes, she will harm others and herself, and it will be too late to regret it.
As soon as Wu Xiaohui left, Liu Yan went to find Empress Cao.
This has to be done by the queen mother or the eldest sister.
As a result, when Queen Cao heard her say this, she didn't pay attention to what Wu Xiaohui had done at all, but the list.
"Come on, come on, what's the list? Show me. ”
Liu Yan stomped his foot: "Queen Mother, why are you like this?" If you make fun of me again, I'll go back. ”
"What a joke is this?" Empress Cao said that she didn't laugh, but if she brought a mirror over, she would definitely be able to see how happy she was smiling: "Don't be ashamed, let me see the market of the horse candidates." ”
What can Liu Yan do? This is my mother.
She reluctantly took the list out.
Empress Cao looked down from top with a smile, and commented while watching. Yingluo held a fan on the side, trying to hold back his laughter.
Don't laugh, don't laugh, or the princess will have to be angry.
