Chapter 197: Gambling

In the northeast of the Qinglan Kingdom, there is a river here, called the Brahmaputra River, the northeast is the source of the Brahmaputra River, from the Brahmaputra River down, it will enter the Central Plains, and the downstream of the Brahmaputra River is the fertile and rich land on the other side, here is the sediment of the Yarlung Zangbo River at the mouth of the estuary, forming a plain by itself.

In the alluvial plain, the soil is fertile, the people's livelihood is rich, and there is a thriving scene everywhere, and in this scene, there is a small city, the reason why this small city is called a small city, not because its strength is not strong enough, but because it is small in area, so it is called a small city.

In fact, this small city formed by the impact of the Brahmaputra River, extremely rich, self-contained princes, although belonging to the Qinglan Kingdom, but because it is far away from the central capital, there are some Tiangao emperors far away, the local city lord has become a prince of his own, and in the small city, there are all kinds of things, trading halls, foundry shops and so on.

At this time, an inn in this small city, this inn is facing the mouth of the sea, because of the narrowness of the mouth of the sea, the water flow here is extremely turbulent, and it is precisely because of such an inn built near the sea that it has attracted the attention of countless people.

And today, on the second floor of this inn, it is best to watch the location of the estuary, where several rich sons spend a lot of money, gambling on the treasures sent by the Brahmaputra River.

Every year's summer solstice, is the most lively time in the small city, because the small city is favored by the Brahmaputra River, so every year of the summer solstice, there will be a grand event, there will also be a big gamble, the grand event is the ordinary people, the big gamble is the rich son.

These handsome rich sons are making their first big gamble of the day, and the amount of the big bet is 50 million taels, betting on what this big thing floating from the Brahmaputra River is.

"I guess, this big thing of more than ten catties must be a big stone upstream, the big stone is smooth and smooth, under such a terrain, from high to the ground, smoothly to the mouth of the sea," said a gentleman.

The other shook his head dissatisfiedly and said, "I guess it's the sandbags upstream, weren't we just gambling sandbags last year, the people in the upper reaches!

"However, this also proves their ability, such a big impact, the mud and sandbags are not broken, and the quality is also hard."

"Haha, but that's right, such a good quality, the king is not good enough to trouble them, having said that, I still think that there should be a wild boar in this estuary"

"This still makes sense, the year before last it was a wild boar that rushed down, we passed through so many forests upstream, and a stupid wild boar rushed over, but it was also reasonable"

Several rich sons have spoken their thoughts, but one son is a little thoughtful, this son is the least involved in this bet, he is called Zhuge Jun, the same, this son's family is not as good as others, in the family, he is also hit hard, the reason why he came to participate in the gambling today, he is also to prove that he can make money.

"What's the matter, Master Zhuge Gongzi, I'm really surprised that you can come here today!" said a gentleman to Zhuge Jun.

As soon as they heard this son speak, everyone else focused on Zhuge Jun, and all the eyes they didn't know were focused.

The gentleman seemed to know everyone's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "You may not know, this is the son of Zhuge Jun, the little son of the Zhuge family!"

As soon as the words fell, a gentleman jumped out and said: "Hearing you say this, I will be clear, haha, he is the waste of the Zhuge family!

Zhuge Jun's hands were clenched tightly together, and in the face of this person's ridicule, he didn't say a word, but his face was red.

Seeing that Zhuge didn't speak, a gentleman next to him plucked up his courage and said, "What kind of gambling are you gambling on, it's better to go home and practice! If you succeed early, you will repay your parents."

"Hahahaha, the Zhuge family is also a big family in our Fengtian City, how did you give birth to such a waste?"

"This is a genetic gene that has not developed well, and it is no wonder that the Zhuge family is there."

The gentleman next to you said a word, I talked about Zhuge Jun, Zhuge Jun did not speak, he has no status in the family at all, if it weren't for the fact that everyone cared about his little master's face, he would have been driven out of the Zhuge family a long time ago, and his father, that is, the contemporary head of the Zhuge family, was also extremely cold to him.

Due to Zhuge Jun's innate lack of divine power, he couldn't cultivate his divine power, and from the age of eight in the talent test, he was called a waste by his family for six years. It has been six years since he sat on the name of waste, and in the past six years, he has endured countless cynicism, and in the face of the ridicule of these gentlemen, he is naturally accustomed to it.

It's just that because he is here for the first time, and because he is young, he can't help but be extremely nervous, and under the gaze of everyone, he sweats even more.

His forehead, back, chest, etc. sweated everywhere, which also caused more ridicule, Zhuge Jun just rolled his two small eyes, constantly looking at the faces in front of him, and did not say a word.

This situation lasted for a full hour, until everyone knew that it was boring, so they stopped talking and focused their eyes on Zhuge Jun's body.

"Little Master of the Zhuge family, I don't know what you think about this first thing that floated in!" a gentleman asked playfully.

Zhuge Jun's originally shrunken body shrunk even more, he leaned against the corner, and said: "I, I, I think this thing should be, should be a person"

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into laughter, and more than a dozen gentlemen all looked at Zhuge Jun like fools, as if they were laughing at this extremely stupid teenager.

"He actually bet that this thing is a person, he is going to laugh at me, he is going to laugh at me"

"Mom! others say that the little master of the Zhuge family is stupid, I don't believe it yet, I finally saw it today, it's not an ordinary idiot."

"You say, how can a good person be so stupid, and he has no IQ at all."

"He really has no brains, this Yarlung Zangbo River with a radius of thousands of miles, there are guardrails all the way, only a few parts are not fenced, how can someone fall, and there are many rotating currents along the way, even if someone falls, they are stuck in the rocks in a certain place, and it is impossible to come to this estuary."

"Don't say that! He doesn't know how to learn, he must have rarely read classics, how can he know so many details about the Brahmaputra River?"

Immediately followed by a burst of ridicule, and in this burst of ridicule, three hundred taels of silver were also placed on the desk, these three hundred taels of silver were Zhuge Jun's only remaining belongings, his mother gave him three thousand taels before she died, except for some scattered food, more to keep himself from being beaten, and those subordinates would often ask him for protection money.

If he didn't give protection money, he would be beaten by his subordinates, and seeing that it was time to collect protection money again, the three hundred taels in his hand would not be enough for a few months.

"Alas, I'm a good man, Zhuge is a good man, and it's just fate that I fell here, I had a dream last night, if that dream is true, then I'll be famous, just around the corner" Zhuge didn't care about the ridicule of these people around him, just shrunk tightly in the corner.

The rest of the gentlemen saw three hundred taels of silver to gamble, and inevitably had another sneer, and finally were thrown down by a gentleman directly from the window on the second floor, of course, this gentleman did not deny Zhuge Jun's qualifications, although they looked down on the three hundred taels of silver, but they still had great respect for the summer solstice ceremony of the Brahmaputra River.

As long as it can be called a child of a wealthy family, you can come to bet, the amount of gambling funds can be large or small, of course, more children are to the big pressure, for these money, they do not pay attention, only the more pressed, the more they can show their face, but also more to earn the satisfaction of vanity.

If Zhuge can win, then he can earn all the silver on this desk.

Fifty million taels of silver, this is not a small amount, it is equivalent to a month's food and clothing for a small family.

"Hey, look, it looks like a big thing, look, look"

These rich children had amazing eyesight, and at once they saw a large mass of things flowing towards the mouth of the sea not far away.

One of the gentlemen hurriedly walked towards the door and said, "Fish, hurry up and fish"

His voice passed down, and there was a rush of work outside the door, the huge fishing net was hundreds of zhang long, and it was directly pulled up by a few strong people at the peak of the concentration master, and the hundred-zhang fishing net directly covered the entire estuary, and some small things leaked out of the fishing net, and at this moment, everyone's attention was on the largest object.

"What's that? It's white."

"This white one looks like a sandbag, and it's probably a sandbag washed down from upstream."

"Haha, I'll just say it! This is definitely a mud bag, and the 50 million taels of silver will belong to me this year!"

"Don't worry, let's talk about it, we don't care about this silver, we care about the good fortune of the next year, let's see what this thing is!"

When the huge fishing net sank, all the rich children let out a cheer of joy, and these contemplation masters quickly put away the huge fishing net, and the white thing was carried by them to the huge square on the other side of the inn.

More than a dozen rich children surrounded him, but Zhuge Jun, who had been behind, stood in place, although he ran down with these rich children, but he did not integrate into the circle of these rich children, he just wanted to see what was rushing down on the summer solstice this year.

"Wow, this turned out to be a person"

"Damn, how is it possible, the Brahmaputra River is full of turbulent water all the way, even if it is clamped, stuck, and directly knocked to death, it is a very common thing, how can he still breathe?"

"It seems that all this year's harvest has gone to a fool"

Everyone's eyes all looked towards Zhuge Jun.
