Chapter 236: Betting (2)

"Miss, the county lord and the second lady went back to the house tonight, and ridiculed and laughed at the young lady. He also said that he bet on Songzhu Academy and wanted to make a lot of money. ”

As soon as Xie Mingxi returned to the Spring Pavilion, Congyu came to report with a face full of anger.

Xie Mingxi tugged at the corners of his mouth disapprenosingly: "Let them make trouble." ”

The more fuss you make now, the more your face hurts in the future!

Congyu was still sulky: "I heard that the eldest young master also privately bought the top name of Songzhu Academy." ”

There is no brother and sister affection! It's so hateful and annoying!

Xie Mingxi naturally didn't take Xie Yuanting to heart and laughed it off. Then, he instructed Congyu: "You go out of the house tomorrow and bet for me." Buy the first name of Lotus Pond Academy! ”

Congyu's spirit perked up, and he immediately responded: "Yes." Then he asked curiously, "How much does the young lady plan to bet?" ”

Xie Mingxi said casually: "Take all the silver tickets in the dresser." I haven't counted it, it's about 10,000 taels. ”

Congyu: "......"

10,000 taels of silver is enough to buy a four-entry courtyard in the capital.

An official eunuch's daughter marries and has 10,000 taels of silver to buy a dowry, which is also decent.

Where did the young lady get so much silver?

Well, let's leave that question aside...... With so much money to bet, what if you lose?

Congyu quickly recovered from the shock and cautiously suggested: "It's better for Miss to stay half of it as a private room!" "Buying five thousand taels is actually about the same.

Xie Mingxi smiled leisurely: "No, bet all on it." ”

……

The next day.

The literary style in the capital is prevalent, and the gambling style is also quite popular. This time, the handicap opened with the ranking of the academy big competition, which is the four major money banks in Beijing. No name is asked when placing a bet, only a voucher is issued. In the future, I will also exchange the voucher for silver.

The academy is a grand event in the capital, and there are many people who pay attention to it, and there are a lot of bets every day. In just a few days, thousands of people have entered the bank to place bets.

The amount is more or less, less than 122028 taels, and more than hundreds or thousands of taels.

Therefore, when Congyu took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from his sleeve, he immediately alarmed the big shopkeeper of the money bank.

"This girl, do you really want to bet on the top name of Lotus Pond Academy?" The big shopkeeper had a pair of shrewd eyes, and quickly glanced at Congyu, who was not amazing in appearance.

Congyu was holding a thick stack of silver tickets, but he was actually quite nervous. On his face, he forced himself to calm down and nodded.

Early in the morning, someone was in a hurry to send a large sum of silver, and the big shopkeeper was in a good mood, and he did not persuade much, and he collected the silver ticket and quickly issued a voucher.

When Congyu walked out of the money village with the voucher, both legs were weak.

"I don't know which maid this is, who came to give us money on the orders of the master." The guys on the side saw that the big shopkeeper was full of spring breeze, and immediately laughed and made fun.

actually bet on the top name of Lotus Pond Academy, isn't it giving silver?

"Don't talk nonsense!" The big shopkeeper scolded casually without any pain: "The academy competition will only start the day after tomorrow, what is the result, how can we know now?" ”

Seeing that the big shopkeeper was not really angry, the man smiled again: "If it is the Lotus Pond Academy that wins the first place, you will have to pay 100,000 taels of silver for this alone." In recent years, the small one has never seen such a large bet! ”

Before the words fell, a woman in her twenties walked in.

This woman is beautiful and has an outstanding bearing.

The guy didn't dare to say more, and immediately smiled and stepped forward: "Is this girl also here to bet?" I don't know which college to bet on? How many silver taels? ”

The young woman took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve: "Ten thousand taels, Lotus Pond Academy." ”

Dude: "......"

Big Shopkeeper: "......"

……

There are strange things every year, and this year is especially numerous.

Within one day, there were quite a lot of bets, and it was still Songzhu Academy. Secondly, it was not Boyu Academy, but Lianchi Academy.

What's even more strange is that most of the people who come to bet are young women dressed as maids, and there are a lot of bets.

Except for the two huge bets of 10,000 taels, the other bets range from a few hundred taels to a thousand taels. Added up, that's a staggering number.

If the Lotus Pond Academy lost, all the silver would go to the money village and make a lot of money. It's just that once it wins the Lotus Pond Academy, according to the odds of one to ten, Qian Zhuang will lose so much that he vomits blood.

The big shopkeeper was shrewd and transparent, and he quickly figured out the reason: "Some time ago, there were very few bets on the Lotus Pond Academy. There were so many people who suddenly came out today, and I thought it must be the students in the Lotus Pond Academy who were here to make a noise for their own academy. ”

The girls studying in Lianchi Academy are all famous ladies. A few hundred taels of private silver, naturally, is not a problem.

It's just that the two bets of 10,000 taels are really staggering.

Which lady has such a huge amount of private money? And stupidly got all the money?

……

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Lotus Pond Academy has a day off.

On the fifth day of the ninth month, it is the college competition. The day before the competition, Gu Shanchang ordered all students to rest and adjust.

The students of the Begonia School have already agreed to gather in Xie Mansion today.

Although the Xie Mansion is not high, and the mansion is not too big, Xie Mingxi is the head of all the girls. This gathering before the competition is naturally at the Xie family.

Xie Jun's mood was depressed for a few days, but today he finally improved slightly.

The daughter of Lin Yushi, the granddaughter of Li Ge Lao, the daughter of Yan Ge Lao Fangge's old mansion, and the only daughter of General Yin...... Xie Mingxi's classmates all have noble identities and extraordinary backgrounds.

No matter what, Xie Mingxi can be the head of all girls, and it is always a good thing to show her face and scenery.

What surprised Xie Jun even more was that the sixth princess also came to Xie Mansion today.

The sixth princess sent Xie Mingxi back to the house every night, but she never stepped into the gate of the Xie Mansion. This is the first time today!

Moreover, the six princesses, who are known for their "lonely and gloomy", know how to be polite, and they actually came to visit the elders of the Xie family first, and then went to Chunjin Pavilion.

As soon as the sixth princess left, she said to Xie Jun: "Ah Jun, Ming Niang is young and vigorous, and it is also a good thing to have the confidence to win the first place." It doesn't matter if you lose. Anyway, she's still young, and even if she is talked about for a while, it's nothing. ”

Today, many famous ladies come to Xie Mansion because of Xie Mingxi.

The six princesses met with the gift of their juniors, and they were also aimed at Xie Mingxi.

Such an excellent granddaughter, after a few years, it is strange that the person who proposes the marriage does not step through the threshold.

Old lady Xie thought for a while and said: "My family always has to support one or two, I plan to let people go to the money bank to bet on the Lotus Pond Academy." ”

Xie Jun and Old Lady Xie obviously thought of going together, and stretched their brows and smiled: "That's what my father said." So the son sent someone to the bank, and bet a hundred taels. ”

can be regarded as supporting her daughter.

Before the matter of privately betting five hundred taels on Songzhu Academy, don't tell Old Lady Xie.
