Chapter 71: The Bet (Part 5)
However, after half a day's effort, there was nothing left of the hardware that Luo Kun exchanged for his head, and he roared angrily on the edge of the arena: "How could you lose, the purple-robed general has obviously won five games in a row, how can he be defeated!" ”
He has been watching it for several days, and the big rooster with purple feathers and red crests has won five games in a row, pecking at the fighting cocks that have been carefully selected and sent up, and they have fled with their tails between their legs, and it is already a winning streak on the field, so as soon as he changed his head for money, he rushed to the gambling house and placed a heavy bet on it.
But what he didn't expect was that the purple-robed general had only been on the field for less than a while, and he was pecked all over the field by a black rooster that was not amazing, and he was defeated in a few moments.
This defeat frustrated the spirit, and the next few games were defeated in succession, and even the few feathers on the buttocks were pecked to pieces, and there was no fighting spirit at all.
Luo Kun's silver money also disappeared with the sharpness of the purple-robed general.
He stared at the purple-robed general who was driven out of the arena with red eyes, and shook his head incessantly: "How come, it has won five games in a row, how can it be defeated like this!" ”
The cousin in the gambling hall was too lazy to yawn, and looked at Luo Kun: "I'm afraid there is not much money in Da Langjun's hand, if you don't bet, let one stop the arena, if you still want to bet, I'm afraid you will ......."
He looked Luo Kun up and down, and shook his head with disgust: "Da Langjun is afraid that there is nothing to exchange for money." ”
The satin robe Luo Kun was wearing was old and dirty, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to exchange it for a few dollars, so he really didn't have anything to deal with.
But Luo Kun was red-eyed at this time, he had already taken all the heads that Luo gave to Mrs. Luo in exchange for money, if he couldn't turn over the book, how could he give up.
He gritted his teeth and said to the cousin: "The next hand, the next one will definitely win back." ”
The cousin sneered: "Da Lang Jun is blessed with high stars, so he can naturally win it back, but there is no gambling house in this gambling house that does not bet, and Da Lang Jun has to take money and silver if he wants to gamble." ”
Luo Kun was so anxious that he went around and felt all over his sleeves and purses, but there was no one left, just now he had already put all the money on the purple-robed general, counting on it to win in one fell swoop and let him get back to the original, where is there any leftover now.
Suddenly, he touched a hard box in his arms, and suddenly stopped, by the way, he still had something to bet on!
After quietly watching in the Datong gambling house for a long time, I saw that the cousin opened the box that Luo Kun took out, and the servant who had been following him from the front of the Xifu couldn't help but change his face slightly, and after looking at it for a while, he quietly got out of the crowd again.
"You said he took out ginseng?" Gu Mingzhu asked Abi in surprise.
Ah Bi nodded: "Li Er replied that it was ginseng, and he really saw it, and the box that Uncle Luo took out contained two ginsengs." ”
Gu Mingzhu frowned for a while, it seemed that Luo Shi really did something to the birthday ceremony, she was afraid that she gave the pair of Goryeo wild ginseng to Luo Kun, probably for the sake of the old lady Anpingbo, who was already seriously ill. It's a pity that she bothered to take the ginseng that she stole from the dragon to the phoenix and replaced it with Luo Kun and made a bet.
Thinking that Luo took various opportunities to enrich his own pockets, and tried his best to get money and silver from the public account and the family wealth of the Eastern Mansion as his own body, completely ignoring the reputation of the Gu family, Gu Mingzhu's eyes turned cold.
She summoned Xiaokui in: "I want to spread the news to Qingxueyuan." ”
Luo was sitting in Songshou Courtyard at this time, patiently listening to Gu Yuan spitting saliva and boasting to Old Madam Gu about his shrewdness and ability: "...... A-Niang didn't know, the two brothers of the Bao family had already planned it, they had several shops in the West Market, and the business was very large, if it wasn't for my face this time, how could I agree to sell this car of spices to us, it was a good deal to make money and silver when it changed hands. ”
Old Madam Gu looked at her youngest son with relief, who said that he was an unsuccessful person, who said that he would only eat and wait for death, how long has he been in Chang'an, and he can find such a good deal.
But she was still a little worried after all, and frowned slightly: "Since such a good business, how can they be willing to give it to us like this?" ”
When Gu Yuan heard the old lady say this, it was obvious that he had already been moved, and he hurriedly said: "A-Niang, how do you know, how much effort I have put in, and I have broken my mouth, and then I still brought out the name of the eldest brother, so that the two brothers promised to sell the spices to us with only 20% more money." ”
He looked at Old Madam Gu with sparkling eyes, as if there were already strings of Tongbao money in front of him: "This is a big deal!" ”
Old Madam Gu still hesitated, after all, this is not a small amount, the spices of the Western Regions are very valuable, just like this, a cart of spices will cost nearly 100 gold, which is her life for the old lady who is thrifty to pick the door.
Mao's where she couldn't see it, she smiled and said: "This spice from the Western Regions is really rare, I smelled the special incense used by my sister-in-law that day, so I asked, only to know that she had a piece in her personal purse, so the size of the nail cover cost five hundred yuan, and the sister-in-law also said that this is a reward from the palace, and there is no place to buy money outside the palace." ”
She looked at Mrs. Gu as she spoke, and when she saw Mrs. Gu's brows moving, she stopped talking and stopped talking.
After a while, Old Madam Gu finally nodded: "What Erlang said is that this deal is very good, since it has been negotiated, tomorrow you will ask your sister-in-law to send someone to the shop to send the spices." ”
Gu Yuan and the Mao family were overjoyed, and agreed repeatedly, smiling heartily.
They had already thought about it, they didn't need to spend such a copper coin, they got a cart of spices, and as long as they sold the spices, they could earn more than a hundred gold for nothing.
That's more than 100 gold, where have the two of them seen so much money, with this money, do they still have to worry about Qingzhou's gambling debts? You can eat, drink and gamble as much as you want, and you can buy as many clothes and jewelry as you want.
Old Madam Gu said a lot of words again, but unfortunately they couldn't hear it anymore, they were full of a large amount of money and silver that was about to arrive, enough money and silver for them to spend for a long time as they wanted, and they were already dazzled by Qian Yinhuang in front of them.
It wasn't until he returned to Qingxue Courtyard that Gu Yuan came back to his senses, frowned and said, "If you want to spend so much money, can the eldest brother and sister-in-law agree?" ”
Mao was also stunned, Gu Qing was stunned, she had already heard the maid say, he never asked about the inner mansion, but Luo ......
She gritted her teeth and said, "The old lady has spoken, and she has to agree even if she is reluctant." But in my heart, Roche is not a good person.
Gu Yuan entered the room, and asked Xiaofu to wait for a change of clothes and rest, Mao remembered the new dress that Tianxiangfang made some time ago, so he called the maidservant to come in and ask.
She had just walked to the door, but she heard the two maidservants waiting outside gossiping and laughing through the curtain: "...... That Uncle Luo came early this morning, and just left the house and went to the gambling house. ”
The other sneered: "Where did Uncle Luo get the money to gamble, didn't he come to the mansion to fight the autumn breeze some time ago, or the eldest lady asked people to give a bag of money and silver before he was willing to leave." ”
"Then I don't know, I just heard the porter say that Uncle Luo hugged two brocade boxes when he left the house, and said that the eldest uncle himself said that there was ...... in the box."
The servant girl's voice suddenly lowered, and the other hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”
"It's ginseng and head noodles!" ...
