Chapter 2: Long Live the Scholar

In a moment's effort, he cheated four times of money, which was equivalent to Shen Ao's salary for four months. Shen Ao took the silver worth four times and tossed it in his hand, feeling very refreshed and happy.

Anyway, the ancients are really simple, this kind of little trick can lead people to be fooled, it seems that crossing is not a bad thing.

Zhang Shao's lips turned white with anger, and he glared at Shen Ao very unconvinced.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Are you not convinced? ”

Zhang Shao blurted out: "Naturally dissatisfied." ”

"Master will give you another chance, do you dare to gamble again?"

Zhang Shao hesitated, but when he saw Shen Ao looking at himself, he was immediately furious: "What kind of gambling method?" ”

Shen Ao smiled, took out the broken silver of the four pieces of money and put it on the ground: "You take out the four pieces of money again." ”

Zhang Shao thought about it, and hesitated again. He has silver, and every time the young master goes out, he follows him. He usually buys some small things to settle the bill, and he hides a dozen taels of silver in private, which he also carries with him in case of emergency. It's just that this Shen Ao is mysterious, so he has to pay more attention to his heart.

"This kid is too deceitful, no matter what, you have to gamble with him." Zhang Shao gritted his teeth, and took out a piece of silver worth four cents and placed it on the ground.

"You see, there are eight pieces of money on the ground. You and I bid against each other, and whoever bids higher will own the eight dollars, and whoever wins. How is it? Shen Ao calmly gathered the broken silver into a pile, and the other two family members also gathered over.

Zhang Shao nodded, and said in his heart: "Whoever bids high will get eight yuan, hehe, it's not easy, I will never lose to you this time." ”

Shen Ao spoke first: "From now on, I will bid for four yuan." ”

Zhang Shao hurriedly said: "I'll bid for five times." ”

Shen Ao smiled: "Then I'll go out six times." ”

Zhang Shao snorted coldly: "I'll go out of seven times." He thought to himself: "After seven times of being able to exchange for eight times, I can finally make some small profits back, not to mention that I can win this guy once." The next time he wants to bid for eight times, there will be no profit. Haha, I'm not going to lose this time. ”

Shen Ao shook his head with annoyance: "Can I give seven times and five hundred dollars?" ”

Zhang Shao sneered: "There is no such rule, it must be consistently superimposed." ”

Shen Ao sighed and said, "It seems that I lost, okay, you take out seven pieces of money for me, and the eight pieces of money are yours." ”

Zhang Shao laughed: "Look at how arrogant you are!" After speaking, he took out a small piece of broken silver from the eight guan money and turned it in his hand: "This is almost the same money, you can take the remaining seven yuan." ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly, put away the broken silver of the seven yuan, and said, "This time you won, let's settle it today, and bet again next time." ”

"Always with you!" Zhang Shao proudly put away the usual money, but his face suddenly changed.

Just now, he took out four pieces of money and made up eight pieces of money with Shen Ao. Now he has won eight times, but four of them are his own money. He made seven times again, and after calculating it, he actually lost three times.

"I'm in this house again!" Zhang Shao couldn't laugh anymore, he couldn't cry or laugh.

And Shen Ao walked to another willow tree with a smile to bask in the sun, and teased comfortably in his heart: "Seven times a minute to get the money into the account, it seems that it is not too difficult to redeem yourself." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shao's terrifying appearance, Shen Ao couldn't help but want to laugh.

"When I make money and redeem myself, I want to be a son, buy a painting boat and drink and enjoy the scenery in the Bianhe River, this doesn't seem to be bad."

It was already dark, candles flashed on the boat, and five-colored lanterns hung on the stern of the ship, which was very beautiful.

Zhou Heng was drunk and helped off the boat, Shen Ao carried the lantern to pick it up, found the coachman who was resting not far away, and put Zhou Heng on the carriage together, Shen Ao sat on the wheel and went home.

The mansion of the Duke of Qiguo covers an area of hundreds of acres, majestic and magnificent, and the stone lion in front of the door is hideous and vicious, adding a point of solemnity.

Beckoned the girl from the inner mansion to help Zhou Heng go back to the bedroom to rest, and Shen Ao's work was completed. The place where he lives is a corner in the northeast of Shen Mansion, and the splendor of other places is much shabby, a small gray building, the two of them have a bedroom, and Shen Ao lives with a bedroom called Wu San'er, when he saw Shen Ao coming back, he said with a sad face: "Brother Shen, you are finally back, hey, why did you bring the smell of wine?" ”

Shen Ao took the copper basin and poured some water to clean his hands, and said, "It's nothing, look at you like this, are you sneaking out of the house to gamble with people again?" ”

Wu San'er said angrily: "I bumped into that Hu Liushou again, and I lost all the monthly money to him for a month, and I am afraid that I will not be able to send money to the old lady in the countryside this month." He slapped himself: "It's all my fault for not being angry, knowing that I lost nine out of ten bets, but I couldn't help it, always thinking about winning back the money I lost in the past, hey......"

Shen Ao smiled and took out the usual money for him: "Take it and send it to your mother." ”

Wu San'er was stunned for a moment: "Brother Shen, you ...... You don't have any surplus, so how can I ask for your money? Besides, you haven't paid your monthly money this month, where did this money come from? ”

Wu San'er is good at everything, he is a good gambler, and he is willing to give up every time he loses his essence.

Wu San'er and Shen Ao have been together for more than a month, Shen Ao was weak when he just crossed, and he was still taking care of him before and after, this kindness Shen Ao has always remembered in his heart.

Shen Ao stuffed the money into his hand: "You just take it, I still have it here." ”

Wu San'er took the money, hurriedly thanked him, and said excitedly: "I will send this money back to the countryside and never gamble again." ”

Shen Ao had heard a lot of what he said, so he smiled, sat on the edge of the bed and took off his boots, and took off the white cloth that wrapped his feet, and followed the young master Zhou to go crazy outside for a day, and fatigue had already hit.

Wu San'er said: "Today, I heard that the head of the foreign mansion said that the young master is going to study in Taixue, according to the meaning of the lady, it is to select a scholar from the house, and it is better to be similar in age to the young master, and it is better to be able to read and break words." ”

Shen Ao said: "What's so good about the scholar, he is not a subordinate yet?" ”

Wu San'er said: "This is different, the scholar can go into the inner mansion to accompany the young master to study, and he doesn't have to do chores, even the monthly money is three times that of ordinary miscellaneous servants." ”

"Is there such a good thing?" Shen Ao got up from the couch with a bone, and his sleepiness disappeared suddenly: "In this way, the scholar is a very promising career." ”

Wu San'er said: "I advise Brother Shen not to think about this, there are already rumors in the house, the heads of the inner and outer mansions are staring at this fat difference, they all have relatives in the countryside, and they just recommend their relatives to come, where will people like us have a way?" ”

Shen Ao said: "This is not necessarily, it is man-made, you can easily get three times the monthly money, and you can still enter the inner mansion...... Gee...... Let me think about it. ”

Wu San'er said in surprise: "Inner House? Brother Shen, you won't be for the maids in front of those ladies, right? ”

Shen Ao smiled: "You can see this, you are really smart and clever, unpredictable prophet." ”

Speaking of women, Wu San'er suddenly became energetic: "If you want me to say, the girls in front of Madame are the most watery, haha, when you say this, I also want to be a scholar, at least I can always see her every once in a while, tsk......"

"But Xiaoxiang is not bad, although it is not as good as Chun'er, but that figure, that breast...... Hey, Brother Shen, are you listening to me? ”

Shen Ao was half asleep, a person appeared in his mind, and he vaguely heard Wu San'er calling him, but he was reluctant to respond.

A lot of thoughts came to mind, "It is also born by a parent, why is Miss Zhou naturally beautiful, but Zhou Heng is a standard Zhu Bajie." It's incomprehensible, isn't it ......?"

"One is a rich lady, the other is a handyman, I don't know if there is a chance. No, who am I, Shen Ao? The dignified art thief, why is she not worthy of her? Okay, I'm going to be a scholar, and I'll talk about it when I go to the inner house. ”
